Chapter 21: Little Skeleton's Training Manual 3.0
Chapter 21: Little Skeleton's Training Manual 3.0
The relationship between Li Wu and his family significantly improved after the night Lu Haikong got drunk.
On that day, Li Wu officially and genuinely began to embrace this family, truly considering himself a part of it.
However, despite this, Li Wu did not accept the two cards Lu Haikong offered that day.
Or, to be precise, he didn't take all of them.
He personally returned the 500,000-yuan card to Li Ruyu.
Although Li Wu was tempted by the 50,000 yuan, he couldn't bring himself to take the money.
Moreover, Li Wu understood his father's struggles and the effort it must have taken to save that amount, knowing it was meant for buying a house, Li Wu couldn't bring himself to touch that money.
However, he did keep the private funds of over 10,000 yuan.
Helpless, after Lu Haikong's grilling feast cost him over 500 yuan, Li Wu had no choice but to reluctantly take the private funds.
Of course, being who he is, Li Wu couldn't just take the money without saying a word.
When returning the 50,000-yuan card, he seriously informed Li Ruyu about it.
Upon hearing that Li Wu took Lu Haikong's private funds, Li Ruyu's expression became slightly unnatural. However, compared to Lu Haikong, who happened to pass by and overheard the conversation, Li Ruyu's reaction was relatively calm.
Li Wu, in a hurry to go to work, didn't notice these details. After explaining the situation and obtaining Li Ruyu's consent, he left for work.
That evening, upon returning home from work, he discovered a new keyboard on his desk.
He mentioned to Li Ruyu that it wasn't necessary to replace it, as his old one was still functional.
Unbeknownst to him, as he spoke, his father's gaze grew more intense, like that of a hungry wolf.
But with a single step from Li Ruyu, he transformed into a playful dog.
Li Wu particularly enjoyed the loving interactions between his parents, finding them heartwarming.
It must be said that, despite Lu Haikong's unreliability, he seemed to possess a unique charm.
Since his arrival, the entire household, inside and out, was filled with a cozy atmosphere, which Li Wu adored.
Of course, what delighted Li Wu even more was his father's private funds of over 10,000 yuan.
With this money, Li Wu's financial situation immediately improved.
At the very least, he no longer had to worry about materials for "Little Skeleton's Training Manual 2.0." He no longer needed to take on temporary jobs to acquire them.
This meant Li Wu could now make use of his evenings.
As an ordinary student from an ordinary family, Li Wu aimed to use the summer vacation to help Little Skeleton catch up with others. All he could rely on was his own hard work.
Currently, the directions in which Li Wu could exert effort were limited.
Although the senior sister had already sent him the materials for the focus class,
Li Wu now had some methods to train Little Skeleton in acquiring skills. However, due to the skeleton's inferior quality, these methods were temporarily unusable.
Helpless, this little guy was too weak, and if Li Wu followed the methods, the skeleton would fall apart in a few moves.
Therefore, with Little Skeleton's quality improvement, Li Wu could only focus his efforts on two aspects.
One was accumulating knowledge related to summon beast cultivation, and the other was bonding with Little Skeleton.
For the former, Li Wu dedicated himself to two tasks: problem-solving at the shop and book-copying at the library.
Yes, book-copying at the library!
Although he couldn't access the school library, the vast city of Quan must have more than just the school's library.
Without the financial burden, Li Wu could spend his evenings at the Quan City Library, immersing himself in books.
Speaking of which, Plumpie also tagged along with Li Wu.
However, Li Wu strongly doubted that this girl had gone to the library with him for over half a month and hadn't read a single book.
All she did was secretly stare at him, play with the pig, and sleep.
Watching Plumpie's carefree and unmotivated behavior, Li Wu couldn't help but shake his head.
Of course, shaking his head didn't change anything.
Sometimes, Li Wu couldn't help but feel envious of Plumpie's good fortune.
Plumpie had a friend like him, even if she lacked motivation and drive, Li Wu believed he could inspire her to improve.
But Li Wu wasn't as lucky.
Without a cheat-like friend, and unwilling to rely solely on his average looks, Li Wu had no choice but to work hard and 'cheat' on his own, hoping to fly and bring Plumpie along with him.
What Li Wu envied the most wasn't just Plumpie's friendship with him.
What truly made Li Wu jealous was the bond between Plumpie and her pig.
In the library, while reading a book, Li Wu couldn't help but notice how easy it seemed for Plumpie to enhance her bond with her pig.
With all the eating, drinking, and sleeping, their bond naturally grew stronger. After nearly a month, Plumpie's pig was on the verge of awakening its skills, almost reaching a hundred percent.
In contrast, Li Wu had tried various methods to enhance his bond with the little skeleton.
But it seemed like nothing worked.
Desperate, Li Wu even attempted a method he had previously avoided.
After one night, Li Wu successfully cultivated dark circles under his eyes, while the little skeleton remained as clueless and emotionless as ever.
This infuriated Li Wu! He almost wanted to dismantle the skeleton.
However, despite the lack of progress in bond enhancement, Li Wu's summer vacation wasn't entirely unproductive.
The little skeleton had successfully undergone four rounds of bone soaking.
After four rounds of stewing, costing Li Wu 520 yuan, the little skeleton showed noticeable changes compared to a month ago.
It had grown ten centimeters taller, almost reaching one meter and fifty centimeters.
Its overall qualities had significantly improved, with speed and strength nearly catching up to Li Wu. Now, the little skeleton only needed one more round of bone soaking to achieve a substantial quality upgrade.
However, for the fifth bone soaking session, Li Wu didn't plan to use the "Little Skeleton's Training Manual 2.0" to enhance the skeleton.
Over the past month, Li Wu had benefited from his extensive reading and problem-solving, greatly improving his knowledge.
This improvement directly influenced the enhancement plan for the little skeleton.
Currently, Li Wu had taken the original "Little Skeleton's Training Manual 2.0" and upgraded it, creating version 3.0.
This new version was even more effective than 2.0, perfectly suited for the skeleton after four rounds of bone soaking.
Li Wu was confident that using the 3.0 version to perform the fifth bone soaking session would result in a significant upgrade for the little skeleton, possibly elevating its quality to the Black Iron Grade.
The only issue was that version 3.0 was more expensive than 2.0, and Li Wu estimated that this final bone soaking session would cost him at least 50,000 yuan.
However, Li Wu had already found a 'mark' who would willingly bear this expense.
