Chapter 245: Little Skeleton's Quality Enhancement

Chapter 245: Little Skeleton's Quality Enhancement

Old Man's single action had completely depleted the resources of Li Wu's family.

As a result, Li Wu had to relocate his cultivation chamber to Jiangnan University.

After all, there were plenty of research institutes nearby, and Li Wu casually found one to renovate.

It took around seven days in total, costing 120,000 points, and it seemed like a grand project.

On the day it was completed, the neighbors of Li Wu's family came to spectate.

These professors from Jiangnan University, one by one, marveled as if they were poor neighbors visiting each other, astonished by Li Wu's research chamber.

They were envious beyond words.

Some even casually mentioned the school's overdue research grants.

Their intentions were quite obvious, as they had heard that the school recently received a substantial income of over ten million.

Although everyone knew the source of this money, it didn't stop some from wanting to improve their research environment.

Of course, Li Wu wasn't entirely aware of this.

When the professors were visiting, he was busy preparing for the final repairs of Little Skeleton's phone and wasn't present. By the time Li Wu arrived, the restoration and enhancement work had already begun, and the professors had left.

In the vast cultivation chamber, only Li Wu, Dudu, and Old Man remained.

Li Wu was busy with repairs and enhancements, Dudu was occupied with keeping Tuan Tuan from jumping into the soup, and Old Man was pondering whether to trick Li Wu into giving him a turn. As for the protagonist skeleton, Little Skeleton, it was lying comfortably in the pot, soaking in a relaxing bath.

Its hands were spread out on the edge of the pot, and its skull was raised, with flickering flames in its eyes.

If this were an animated scene, Li Wu would see two blushes on Little Skeleton's cheeks, its eyes closed, and its entire skeleton would look extra soft and cute.

But alas, this wasn't an anime, and Li Wu wasn't in the mood to see Little Skeleton like this.

"Put your hands in the soup, and get your head down there too!"

Terrified (No, the flames in Little Skeleton's head will go out, and Little Skeleton will die!)



"Nonsense, those are soul flames, they won't go out. Get your head down there too!"

Li Wu held a stick, roughly pressing down on Little Skeleton, scaring it quite a bit.

Afraid (This is bad, Little Skeleton is in trouble, and Li Wu is going to stew Little Skeleton for Tuan Tuan!)



To be fair, this skeleton had some strength, and Li Wu couldn't push it down with the stick. With no other choice, Li Wu had to use his trump card.

"Can't get down? If you don't get down, I won't fix your phone, and I won't be nice to Little Skeleton either."

Grieved (Li Wu, please fix the phone.)



As it responded, Little Skeleton obediently crouched into the pot, and once it did, the little skeleton became even happier.

Delighted (Great, the flames in Little Skeleton haven't gone out.)



However, its state made Li Wu unhappy.

"You just said I was a bad Li Wu, and you told me not to fix the phone and not be nice to Little Skeleton. Does Little Skeleton not like Li Wu anymore?"

Proud (Li Wu won't stop being nice to Little Skeleton, Li Wu loves Little Skeleton the most!)



"Hmph!"

Li Wu turned his head, and with a stick, he gently tapped the little guy's skull.

Then, his voice became noticeably softer: "How does it feel? Is the water temperature comfortable?"

Delighted (It's comfortable!)



Little Skeleton even started to sway in the pot.

Seeing that it was adapting well, Li Wu breathed a sigh of relief but still gave it a warning.

"I'm stewing you without a lid today, so if you feel uncomfortable later, you can't jump out, understand? If you do jump out, the phone won't be fixed!"

Serious (Little Skeleton understands, Little Skeleton knows.)



"Good boy!"

Using the stick as a substitute for his hand, Li Wu patted the little guy's skull, and only then did he shift his attention from Little Skeleton to the phone beside him.

From the moment Little Skeleton and the phone were thrown into the pot, Little Skeleton's phone had been in a stable state, absorbing the energy from the pot at a steady pace.

The first phase of energy absorption was quite satisfactory, very stable, and some originally damaged and dormant parts of the phone were also beginning to revive. Additionally, the power from the 'Battle Soul Monument' was currently very stable.

Overall, Li Wu was quite pleased with this phase.

However, it wasn't time for Li Wu to start the repairs yet.

With the internal parts of the phone not fully activated, repairing at this stage could easily lead to problems. Li Wu needed to wait another half an hour.

During this half-hour wait, Li Wu also chatted with Little Skeleton.

He asked Little Skeleton about its recent training.

Since Little Skeleton's phone broke, it had been training with Hanhan every day to please its good Li Wu and get him to fix the phone.

It was behaving like a well-behaved skeleton should.

Of course, Li Wu was aware of Little Skeleton's training progress.

After all, he could see the attribute panel, and he knew every improvement Little Skeleton made.

He knew that Little Skeleton's recent training focus had been on the four skills: Bone Fang, Bone Spear, Bone Shield, and Bone Prison.

In fact, Li Wu had designed Little Skeleton's training program.

Starting with the Bone Dragon Fang, he had Little Skeleton practice these magic skills using the dragon fang as a reference.

Li Wu had been paying attention to Little Skeleton's progress during this time and could say he understood the situation better than Little Skeleton itself.

He was bringing up this topic now to divert Little Skeleton's attention.

During a quality enhancement process like this, if Little Skeleton could focus its attention on specific areas, there was a high probability of gaining additional benefits during the enhancement.

That was Li Wu's intention at this moment.

And the Little Skeleton soaking in the soup was also enjoying chatting with Li Wu.

Or, to be more accurate, Little Skeleton had always enjoyed communicating with Li Wu.

But this guy, Li Wu, spent over 14 hours a day studying, and the rest of the time sleeping.

Although Little Skeleton spent all its time with Li Wu, there weren't many opportunities for genuine interaction.

Now, finally having the chance to relax and chat with Li Wu, Little Skeleton was overjoyed.

It was talkative.

Li Wu only needed to bring up a topic, and Little Skeleton would keep chattering non-stop.

It started from its training methods and the progress it had made.

Its words were full of enthusiasm.

Of course, there were also moments that dampened Little Skeleton's mood.

The thing that made Little Skeleton most unhappy was that it seemed to have become less useful.

Many of his little buddies couldn't beat it anymore.

TuanTuan, who never used to participate in training before, has recently started joining in, but only for a short while each time, with a clear goal. After beating up the little skeleton, he'd leave.

Even Hanhan, who used to be unable to beat the little skeleton, has become so powerful that the little skeleton can't beat him now.

As for Little Goldfish, there's no need to even mention him. He's powerful at home, and even more so when he's outside.

Hearing this, the little skeleton suddenly fell into a slump.

(The little skeleton knew that Li Wu liked the little skeleton the least among those who couldn't do much. If the little skeleton couldn't do anything, would Li Wu still like it?)



This was the first time Li Wu had seen this little guy like this.

At this moment, Li Wu should have been comforting this little guy.

But considering that it was in the process of quality enhancement, instead of comforting it, Li Wu felt he should stimulate this little guy a bit more.

Give it a sense of crisis.

"That's right, Li Wu likes capable little skeletons.

If the little skeleton can't do anything and just plays with its phone every day without training, Li Wu won't like it anymore."

In the 1619th book, one bar, one look, no mistake!

Li Wu spoke these words very seriously, which scared the little skeleton who had never seen Li Wu speak so seriously about not liking it.

(In fact, the little skeleton is very capable. It will train hard and become stronger soon. Li Wu, don't dislike the little skeleton!)



Li Wu added a bit more force, "What if it can't become stronger?"

The little skeleton pondered for a moment, and suddenly its eyes flashed with determination.

(The little skeleton will cover Li Wu with a blanket, pour water for Li Wu, warm Li Wu's bed, and is even learning to cook.

Li Wu, don't like Dudu, okay? Dudu's chores can also be done by the little skeleton.")



(Li Wu liking the little skeleton is enough!)



Li Wu was stunned by its sudden action.

He thought this skeleton was going to strive for improvement, but it turned out it was trying to take over Dudu's business.

"This isn't called being capable. You can't do this either!"

Li Wu, with a mix of laughter and tears, gave this little guy a nudge, "You're not like Dudu. You have to become stronger to be capable! A little skeleton that doesn't become stronger can't do anything!"

After Li Wu's nudge, the little skeleton's mood became cheerful again, even a bit cocky.

This little guy is getting smarter day by day.

It was scared by Li Wu just now, but when Li Wu spoke with that tone of laughter and tears, the little skeleton knew Li Wu was tricking it.

Li Wu wouldn't abandon it.

Its cocky attitude made Li Wu feel a bit itchy.

Sigh, the little skeleton has grown up, its mind has become sharper, and it's not easy to trick anymore! But Li Wu didn't give up, if the hard approach didn't work, he'd try a softer one.

"Little skeleton, Li Wu indeed won't abandon the little skeleton, but doesn't the little skeleton want to stop being bullied by TuanTuan? And doesn't the little skeleton want to beat Hanhan again?"

"Also, how did the little skeleton's phone break? The little skeleton remembers, right?"

"Do you remember the last time I was hit by a fake little skeleton? I even spat blood."

Hearing this, the little skeleton immediately stopped being cocky.

Li Wu seized the opportunity, "What's the reason for all this? What's wrong? Is it this world?"

"No, the reason for all this is because the little skeleton's strength isn't powerful enough!"

"If the little skeleton's strength is powerful enough, it won't be bullied by TuanTuan, its phone won't break, and Li Wu won't be hit by the broken little skeleton and spit blood."

"So, little skeleton, become powerful!"

"Powerful enough to make this world tremble! Only then can you protect your phone and protect Li Wu!"

It must be said that Li Wu is still very good at manipulating the little skeleton.

As Li Wu shouted with his arms raised, the little skeleton's mood was instantly stirred up.

(The little skeleton must become strong, protect Li Wu, and protect the little skeleton's phone!)



Li Wu's timing was perfect. Just as the little skeleton was being tricked by him, the energy of the nearby phone had reached a certain level.

Li Wu seized this opportunity and threw the little skeleton's boiled soup and the key material for phone enhancement, the Dragon Fang, into the pot.

As the Dragon Fang was thrown into the pot, the temperature of the flames under the pot began to rise dramatically.

Li Wu immediately used the Refinement Hand to draw out the death energy from the Dragon Fang.

In an instant, the soup in the entire pot reacted violently.

It was as if it was about to boil.

At the same time, the little skeleton, which had been comfortable before, also felt the pain.

It was a bone-chilling pain that went from the soul fire to the skeleton, a pain the little skeleton had never experienced before.

At this moment, Li Wu could only let the little skeleton endure.

He now had to repair the phone.

When the death energy of the Dragon Fang burst, Li Wu's arm flashed with electric light, and electric energy was infused into the pre-processed Dragon Fang, softening it.

Then, the essence of the Dragon Fang was poured into the little skeleton's phone.

As the elite Dragon Fang entered the little skeleton's phone, the phone began to enhance, and the energy of the Battle Soul Monument inside the phone was activated. Fortunately, Li Wu was prepared and used the Suppressing Token.

The two forces melted away, leaving only a few faint traces.

Li Wu could have removed these traces directly, but after thinking about it, he decided to merge these remaining traces of power into the little skeleton's phone.

Subsequently, under the effect of the Refinement Hand,

The little skeleton's phone, the Dragon Fang, and the large pot of soup were merged.

Before Li Wu's energy was exhausted, he narrowly completed the repair. Once the phone was fixed, there was nothing left for Li Wu to do. The phone would enhance itself.

It was only then that Li Wu turned to look at the little skeleton.

Seeing that the little skeleton was still surrounded by pain, Li Wu didn't hesitate and used his only usable Summoner Talent to establish a damage-sharing link between himself and the little skeleton.

With the link established, the little skeleton, who was in pain, found that it didn't hurt as much.

After carefully sensing it, the little skeleton roughly understood what was happening. The little skeleton's eyes flickered in the soup.

Its bones opened wide, and it began to frantically devour and absorb the energy in the soup.

It officially entered the stage of quality enhancement.

The little skeleton also fell into a deep sleep.

After more than five hours, when the little skeleton woke up from its slumber,

It discovered that it could do things again!

A new week has begun, and Nu Xiao has grown again. Won't you give a vote?
