Chapter 32: End of Vacation
Chapter 32: End of Vacation
August 31st.
In Quan City, within the LoveWave Training Center, an intense battle was underway in Room 037.
The participants were none other than Li Wu's Mini Skeleton, who had undergone a month of rigorous training, and TuanTuan's Mini Pig, renowned for its laziness.
Indeed, it was time for the much-anticipated domestic violence segment.
This was the 66th time in the past month that Li Wu and his Mini Skeleton had initiated a battle against TuanTuan and her pig.
And the intensity of this particular battle was largely fueled by Li Wu's enthusiasm!
The entire training room reverberated with Li Wu's anxious and excited voice.
"Mini Skeleton, use Charge to close the distance!"
"Dodge quickly!"
"Block!"
"Get up!"
...
Inside the room, Li Wu's Mini Skeleton followed his commands diligently, fighting with exceptional effort.
On the other side, TuanTuan's team was a different story.
When the camera focused on TuanTuan, the frame seemed narrow, barely accommodating her plump figure.
It was evident that over the past month, TuanTuan had once again transformed into a chubbier version of herself.
Although she hadn't reached her previous weight of nearly 200 pounds, she had still gained around 160 to 170 pounds. A significant reason for Li Wu's eagerness to have the Mini Skeleton defeat the Mini Pig was TuanTuan's current physique.
When TuanTuan had slimmed down, Li Wu had genuinely admired her timeless beauty.
He had even considered not flying her away and instead, repaying her with physical affection!
But while he was still hesitating, TuanTuan had returned to her plump state.
This alone was enough to exhaust Li Wu, but what truly fatigued him was the progress TuanTuan and her pig had made over the past month.
In just one month, Li Wu had managed to elevate his Mini Skeleton's strength to a one-star level and trained the basic skills of Charge, Dodge, and Block to the Proficient level. The most frequently used skill, Charge, was even close to reaching Mastery.
The Mini Skeleton's combat prowess had significantly improved and could be considered formidable.
However, when compared to TuanTuan's pig, the Mini Skeleton's progress still fell short.
This disparity was evident even without checking the Attribute Board; one could simply observe the current battle between the Mini Skeleton and the pig.
Li Wu's voice echoed with tension and excitement, while the Mini Skeleton fought with determination. In contrast, TuanTuan's side lacked enthusiasm. TuanTuan's timid nature and gentle personality didn't allow her to match Li Wu's commanding presence during combat.
Additionally, her recent weight gain seemed to have displeased Li Wu, causing her to try her best to reduce her presence in the past few days. She even refrained from giving commands, leaving the Mini Pig to act entirely on its own.
As for the pig, it had inherited TuanTuan's laziness.
It loved to eat but hated to exert itself. It lacked enthusiasm in fights, and while Li Wu and the Mini Skeleton fought with all their might, the pig merely went through the motions.
It would occasionally use Earth Spikes to keep its distance from the Mini Skeleton, and Li Wu and his companion could do nothing about it.
The pig controlled the battle's momentum, and it was only with great difficulty that Li Wu and the Mini Skeleton managed to break through.
"Now, Mini Skeleton, use Charge!"
At Li Wu's command, the Mini Skeleton unleashed its full power, dashing towards the pig with a 'swish' and swinging its baseball bat. Just as it was about to smack the pig away, the pig yawned, followed by a giant sneeze that ended the battle once again.
"We lost again!"
Indeed, the word 'again' carried a bitter tone.
Li Wu and the Mini Skeleton had tried their best for a month, but they had yet to win a single battle.
Li Wu was well aware of the situation.
On one hand, TuanTuan's Mini Pig was indeed formidable!
...
Name: Mini Pig
Strength: One Star
Quality: Black Iron (Upgraded) (One Stripe)
Attribute: Earth
Status: Healthy (It's hungry and craving roasted yam)
Bonding Skill: Bonded Growth (A special bonding skill that, through affinity awakening, can enhance the quality and strength of the summoned beast)
Regular Skill: Gigantism (Proficient) (Ability to enlarge the body)
Earth Spike (Proficient) (Earth-based Basic Skill)
Charge (Beginner)
Weakness: None
Description: How's that? Have you experienced the despair of being utterly crushed by the God of Gambling while cheating?
...
These are the attributes of Mini Pig after a month of training.
This is without triggering the Bonding Skill between Duddu and it. If the skill were to trigger again, its strength would undoubtedly soar.
Comparing it to other people's pigs, Li Wu has a strong urge to throw away his own Mini Skeleton.
Over the past month, Li Wu has come to deeply understand why everyone dislikes Mini Skeleton.
Due to its poor quality, its growth is also subpar, making it extremely inefficient to cultivate.
Both are one-star, have mastered three combat skills, and have been trained for the same duration. Mini Skeleton has even worked harder, and although it has a Black Iron (Fake) level, the difference shouldn't be that significant.
A 16-19-year-old, a book, and a flawless version!
But when the two Summon Beasts are placed side by side, Mini Skeleton gets completely dominated.
This is a significant blow to Li Wu! He can't understand why, despite his cheating, he's the one getting crushed.
This doesn't align with the script he had before! Weren't they supposed to fly together? Why does Li Wu now have a strong premonition of being carried by Duddu?
Li Wu, as a cheater with a golden finger, has a robust appetite. He can't stand this injustice.
"It seems like I must accelerate my research!
Tonight, I won't sleep. I'll stay up all night to figure this out, aiming to start training with it tomorrow morning!
Once that's done, Mini Skeleton's combat abilities will soar!"
Li Wu, despite his repeated failures, remains enthusiastic. He has already planned to stay up all night.
Fortunately, Duddu whispered a reminder.
"Um, Li Wu, we're starting school tomorrow!"
"School?"
Li Wu was taken aback.
To be honest, Li Wu had a very fulfilling summer. If it weren't for Duddu's reminder, he might have forgotten about school.
But what Li Wu is thinking about now isn't just school; it's also the class allocation that comes with it.
Li Wu had previously attached great importance to this matter. He had prepared for an entire summer for class allocation, so naturally, his emotions are different when thinking about it now.
"Since we're starting school tomorrow, we should sleep early tonight and not stay up too late.
Otherwise, if I don't perform well in the class allocation exam due to lack of sleep and don't get into the advanced class, then..."
At this point, Li Wu paused, feeling that something was off. After carefully considering it, he realized, "Even if I don't get into the advanced class, this problem doesn't seem that serious!"
...
Afterword
Hmm, I feel like it's been a long time since I wrote one of these. I used to write one at the end of every volume for 'Mountain Bandit,' but I haven't kept up that habit since then, and I haven't even divided the story into volumes. Now, I'm picking up that habit again.
Let's talk about this first volume. Well, after reading it, I can't help but sigh.
There are quite a few problems.
The biggest issue is that it's a bit watery.
Of course, this problem wouldn't be an issue if the updates were more frequent. I'm furious with someone for writing 10,000 to 20,000 words a day. You wouldn't call me short-winded or soft, would you?
Unfortunately, due to the new book period, I can't do burst updates yet. But we can remember that I can save up the chapters and release them when the book is published.
Yes, I'm furious and laughing. I'll end this chapter here. On the day of publication, there will be at least 30 chapters to start with!
Well, that's it. I won't say much more. I feel like there's nothing else to say. Time to write!
Oh, and everyone can follow my official account on a certain social media platform for a surprise!
