Chapter 38: Maintaining the Peak of Beauty
Chapter 38: Maintaining the Peak of Beauty
After a rare victory, both Lu Wu and Little Skeleton were overjoyed and excited, expressing their desire to try again.
The pig, having been beaten for the first time, also stated that it was particularly unhappy and wanted another round!
So, the 68th battle between Little Skeleton and Tuan Tuan officially began.
However, Lu Wu and Little Skeleton's spirits, which had just lifted, were quickly dashed.
Since Tuan Tuan was already aware of Little Skeleton's strength and was in a foul mood after being hit, the pig exceptionally unleashed its full power.
Little Skeleton, who had just tasted victory, was brutally beaten once again.
A fully unleashed Tuan Tuan was terrifying. It no longer followed the programmed routine of running around and being cute.
It immediately activated 【Gigantism】 and used 【Earth Spike】 to restrict Little Skeleton's movement, then launched an offensive with 【Charge】.
Lu Wu's feelings were complicated when he witnessed this tactic.
This tactic was specifically designed by him for this pig, and now the pig was using it against his Little Skeleton. Standing on the receiving end, Lu Wu deeply felt the terror of this tactic combined with the pig's strength.
【Earth Spike】 blocked and restricted Little Skeleton's movement, forcing it into a direct confrontation with the charging pig.
Then, Little Skeleton met its tragic fate.
Although the pig's 【Charge】 was an unoptimized version, its size was still formidable.
Its charge, without any optimization, was like a wild boar's collision, and the power was no joke.
In an instant, Little Skeleton was knocked down.
This was with the pig holding back some strength, and Little Skeleton's blocking skill had been optimized to possess a force-reducing characteristic. Otherwise, this single blow could have caused Lu Wu's Little Skeleton to collapse.
In the 68th battle, Little Skeleton, who had just tasted victory, lost again.
However, this time, Lu Wu and Little Skeleton were not discouraged.
Lu Wu was busy analyzing Little Skeleton's current situation, while Little Skeleton? It was acting strangely. After experiencing victory, it seemed to have developed a liking for the feeling of winning, and its desire to fight was extremely strong. After being knocked down, it looked at Lu Wu.
Those swaying eye flames conveyed a message.
It, Little Skeleton, wanted another round!
Coincidentally, Lu Wu also felt that the first two battles were too short and quick, so he let Little Skeleton fight the pig for a third time.
In the third battle, Lu Wu mainly relied on Little Skeleton's current data.
Therefore, he did not give any commands, asking Tuan Tuan to hold back a little and allowing Little Skeleton to fight freely while he observed from the sidelines.
After knocking Little Skeleton over once, Tuan Tuan's mood improved significantly, and it wasn't as aggressive anymore. So, in the 69th battle, the two fought for about five to six minutes before ending with the pig getting tired and not wanting to continue.
This five to six-minute battle gave Lu Wu a more comprehensive understanding of Little Skeleton's current state.
Undoubtedly, after optimizing the three skills it had mastered, Little Skeleton's strength had significantly improved.
One could even say that Little Skeleton could now match Tuan Tuan to some extent.
This 'to some extent' refers to situations where Little Skeleton can avoid Tuan Tuan's wild boar charge.
As long as Little Skeleton can dodge the wild boar charge, it can rely on its agility to stall until Tuan Tuan's stamina is exhausted, and it no longer wishes to fight.
Regarding defeating Tuan Tuan head-on?
Lu Wu had to admit that, unless Tuan Tuan became careless, Little Skeleton was still unable to achieve this at present.
The main issue was that its attacks were too weak. Even with Tuan Tuan's 【Gigantism】,
Defense skyrocketed, and even with the strongest Charge Assault, the Mini Skeleton couldn't break through its defense.
"So, it's still an issue of attack power?
In that case, I should consider giving it a truly powerful skill!"
"However, creating a more potent skill for it is quite challenging.
Charge Assault is a basic skill, and I've already developed it as much as I could. Even if there's room for improvement, it's difficult for me to come up with something at my current level."
To create a skill for it, I'll have to think of something else. If only this little guy could awaken a powerful skill."
As he mentioned skill awakening, Lu Wu's gaze unconsciously filled with envy as he looked at the pig.
Comparing their pigs, the other's had three skills, each more terrifying than the last, while his Mini Skeleton hadn't awakened a single skill in several months.
They were both Summon Beasts, but why was the gap so vast?
Shaking his head, Lu Wu refocused his attention, "Regarding the quality upgrade plan for Mini Skeleton, I've almost finalized it. We can test the plan later, and if all goes well, Mini Skeleton's quality should improve to Black Iron soon. Hopefully, it will awaken a skill by then."
"If this little guy doesn't awaken a skill after the quality upgrade, I'll have to think of something else or focus the skill training for Mini Skeleton on dodging."
After reading the error-free version of the book, Lu Wu nodded in agreement.
As long as Mini Skeleton dodges fast enough, TuanTuan won't be able to hit it, and it won't lose.
Of course, without any attacks, winning would be difficult.
"Hmm, I hope that when its quality improves, it will also awaken a more powerful skill."
After muttering to himself for a while, Lu Wu glanced at TuanTuan, who had been lying in DuDu's arms for less than ten minutes and showed no signs of getting up. Then he looked at TuanTuan, who was swinging a baseball bat while her eyes glowed with Eye Flame, seemingly reliving the recent victory of Mini Skeleton.
He had considered training for a bit but decided against it.
"Let's go to the shop."
He wanted to work on the quality upgrade plan for Mini Skeleton and see if he could finalize it today.
So, less than half an hour after entering the room, Lu Wu, accompanied by DuDu, left the room under the surprised gaze of the staff. Holding hands, they hurried towards Li Kai's shop.
On their way, Lu Wu, holding DuDu's hand, suddenly stopped and turned to look at her.
"Has your weight gain stopped? Your hand doesn't seem to be growing anymore. Are you on a diet?"
DuDu started to feel anxious, "No... I've been eating well, five bowls of rice at every meal!"
Lu Wu's eyebrows furrowed, "Five bowls? You call that eating well? You need to eat more!"
Indeed, if DuDu didn't eat more, how would she reach the standard energy level required for her Bonding Skill to trigger, allowing her to return to her Peak Beauty?
"Wait, energy reserve? I think I've discovered something incredible!"
Suddenly, a flash of insight struck Lu Wu, and he vaguely seemed to have found a way to keep DuDu at her peak beauty.
