Chapter 30: Farewell, Goblin
Chapter 30: Farewell, Goblin
It has to be said that Li Wu had indeed become a little arrogant lately.
After all, he'd been on a roll recently. First, he managed to make Li Kai, who he had been coveting, crave him in just a month.
Then, he successfully upgraded the quality of the Little Skeleton to Black Iron, albeit with the 'Fake' tag, but it was still Black Iron quality.
The Little Skeleton's quality had now reached and even surpassed that of some students from the Advanced Class!
Achieving these two feats in just a month had truly inflated Li Wu's ego.
He was so caught up in his success that he almost forgot he started as a waste talent, and even the incident where Dudu's pig almost broke its hind legs when sitting on the Little Skeleton was forgotten due to his attention being diverted by Dudu's sudden weight loss.
However, a trivial matter brought him back to reality.
Dudu was staying at his place, right? Li Ruyu, afraid that Dudu might go hungry, asked Li Wu to buy her some breakfast early in the morning.
Usually, Li Ruyu rarely asked Li Wu to run errands, but seeing Dudu's weight loss, she feared someone might take advantage of her and leave her. To increase Dudu's affection for Li Wu, she sent him out early to create the illusion that he went out specifically to buy breakfast for Dudu.
Li Wu didn't see the need for this, nor did he think it would increase any affection, as this young lady's affection for him was already maxed out.'
Unless Li Wu unlocked some new moves, the affection level was unlikely to rise.
But since Li Ruyu had asked, Li Wu went anyway, and as he stepped out, he encountered Lin Jianying.
The two bumped into each other, and Li Wu looked at the goblin behind Lin Jianying, which seemed to have undergone noticeable changes compared to a month ago, looking more alert and vigilant.
Lin Jianying also glanced at the Little Skeleton behind Li Wu, and both of them had looks of surprise on their faces.
But Lin Jianying didn't dare to speak, he just nodded at Li Wu and was about to leave with his head down, but Li Wu called out to him.
It wasn't that Li Wu had anything to say to Lin Jianying; he just wanted to touch his goblin.
"I haven't seen it in over a month, and your goblin is looking pretty buff!"
As he spoke, Li Wu patted the goblin's chest, which had a 'Don't Touch Me' expression, and Li Wu's eyes narrowed.
It must be said that Li Wu's pat was partly driven by the sentiment of 'Thirty Years in the River, Thirty Years on the Shore.'
Hmph, you ignored me a month ago, but today I'll show you who's the boss.
And with that pat, Li Wu indeed learned who was the boss.
...
Name: Goblin
Strength: 1-Star (Ordinary)
Quality: Black Iron (Upgraded)
Attribute: Physical
Status: Healthy (It doesn't want you to touch it, it finds you strange, and it even wants to chop you up!)
Skills: Forceful Strike (Proficient), Charge (Proficient), Block (Beginner)
Weakness: Magical
Description: After a month of training, its combat power has taken shape, and it can easily defeat more than ten advanced Little Skeletons.
...
Seeing the goblin's attributes, Li Wu's inflated ego almost exploded.
He never imagined that in just one month, Lin Jianying had trained the goblin to this level.
Damn, Dudu's cheating was one thing, but did this guy also cheat?
Li Wu couldn't wrap his head around it, so his face showed a mix of emotions.
Lin Jianying, seeing Li Wu caressing his goblin with a complex and resentful expression, thought Li Wu was envious of his goblin. Angry at his previous behavior of abandoning his childhood friend, Lin Jianying lowered his head.
In a very faint voice, he said, "You know I have my reasons to become a Professional Summoner, so, sorry."
After speaking, Lin Jianying left with the goblin.
It wasn't until Lin Jianying had left that Lu Wu realized what had happened. As for Lin Jianying's words, sorry, he hadn't paid attention, and even if he had, he wouldn't have taken them to heart.
After being dealt a blow by the goblin, Lu Wu had only one thought—training! Intense training! From today onwards, he would subject Little Skeleton to rigorous training!
How could he, a cheater, lose to these lucky bastards?
With this in mind, Lu Wu glanced at his own dumbfounded Little Skeleton, his eyes filled with determination and vigor.
After making up his mind, Lu Wu bought dozens of steamed buns and several cups of soy milk before heading home.
As soon as he arrived, Lu Wu called out to Duddu, urging her to eat quickly so they could start training.
Well, it turned out that Lu Wu was wrong!
He felt that Duddu's affection for him had already reached its maximum, and buying her breakfast wouldn't increase her fondness. But in reality, her affection could exceed the limit!
This was Duddu's first time staying at Lu Wu's house since she was twelve years old, and her first time eating breakfast bought by Lu Wu. Her eyes instantly turned red, and tears almost fell.
Seeing her adorable expression, Lu Wu's heart skipped a beat.
The only downside was that this plump girl had an enormous appetite. She devoured over a dozen steamed buns and drank two bottles of soy milk without any signs of stopping.
Lu Wu's face darkened at the sight.
He had a strong premonition that if Duddu continued eating like this, her timeless beauty wouldn't last long. Lu Wu didn't want her to revert to her previous appearance.
He quickly grabbed the Error-Free Version, hoping to find a solution.
"Don't eat anymore! Don't eat anymore!"
Lu Wu desperately tried to prevent this nightmare from happening again.
Duddu obediently listened to Lu Wu's words, but even when he told her to stop eating, she couldn't help but glance at the steamed buns, her eyes filled with longing. She looked so pitiful that it was hard to bear.
In the end, Lu Wu couldn't resist Duddu's pitiful expression and had to surrender.
"Alright, alright, go ahead and eat!"
He consoled himself, thinking that this girl had a bonding skill that allowed her to enhance the pig's quality through eating. With such a skill, she probably wouldn't gain weight.
But why did he still feel uneasy?
In the end, Lu Wu watched as Duddu devoured forty to fifty steamed buns by herself.
And this was after Lu Wu had been watching her, making her feel too embarrassed to continue eating, and she had only eaten until she was half-full. Her appetite had increased by one or twofold compared to before.
Moreover, Lu Wu couldn't shake the feeling that after this meal, Duddu seemed to have gained a rounder figure.
"It's just an illusion! It must be an illusion!
She has a bonding skill, so it's impossible for her to gain weight!"
Lu Wu tried to suppress his fear of Duddu becoming plump again and pulled her up, saying, "Let's go! We're going to train!"
Meanwhile, Li Ruyu watched Lu Wu and Duddu leave, holding hands like a young couple, her face filled with a motherly smile.
But beneath the smile, there was also a hint of worry.
"As expected, this girl is too beautiful, and it still makes me worry. No, I need to prepare more delicious food this afternoon!
I must make Duddu plump up again!"
As she spoke, Li Ruyu began preparing lunch.
