Chapter 39: Li Chun's Request
Chapter 39: Li Chun's Request
Lu Wu carefully considered it. Duddu's Bonding Skill activation was fundamentally tied to energy, not weight.
In other words, Duddu's weight had no direct correlation with the activation of this skill.
After all, weight and energy were not directly equivalent.
Moreover, Lu Wu still suspected that the reason Duddu's pig could trigger the skill and awaken three skills had nothing to do with the hundred pounds of meat, but rather the apple she ate.
Although Duddu's terrifying weight gain over the past period was indeed due to the influence of the Bonding Skill, which greatly increased her appetite.
This increased appetite was actually the body's demand for more energy reserves. Therefore, if Lu Wu could solve the energy problem, Duddu's appetite would definitely decrease, and her weight would not spike as it currently does. She could maintain her Peak Beauty at all times.
Realizing this, Lu Wu's heart soared.
At that moment, Lu Wu didn't even want to study the Mini Skeleton's advancement problem; he just wanted to figure out how to help Duddu with her energy issue.
But after some thought, Lu Wu had to temporarily abandon this line of research.
After all, he lacked the necessary knowledge in this area.
Although he now possessed a certain level of knowledge as a Summon Beast Breeder and could easily concoct potions to help summon beasts replenish energy or even enhance their quality,
those potions were for summon beasts, not for humans.
Certainly not for Duddu!
He didn't have the expertise, and if he messed around and caused Duddu any harm, what would he do?
Right now, Duddu could at least maintain her Peak Beauty for a few days every one or two months.
If he messed around and lost those few days, turning his beautiful wife into a chubby childhood friend, who would he cry to?
Therefore, after much hesitation, Lu Wu could only suppress this idea for now.
"It's not that it can't be done; it's just that the time isn't right. I'll wait until I have enough knowledge to tackle this project."
Lu Wu looked at Duddu, who was being led by him, and the Mini Skeleton trailing behind, whose Eye Flame kept flickering between the baseball bat and Tuan Tuan: "For now, let's focus on enhancing the Mini Skeleton's quality so it can beat Tuan Tuan properly and thoroughly!"
At that moment, Tuan Tuan, nestled in Duddu's arms, suddenly jumped up, looked around in confusion, glared at the Mini Skeleton, and then retreated back into Duddu's embrace.
...
When Lu Wu brought Duddu to the store, Li Kai, who was studying, immediately stood up.
His respectful attitude made it seem like Lu Wu was the owner of the store.
This mainly stemmed from the fact that in the month since he had clung to Lu Wu's coattails, Li Kai had clearly felt a significant improvement in his summon beast breeding skills.
Now, he even had the confidence that he would definitely pass the examination if he were to take it.
All this improvement came from Lu Wu.
Furthermore, during the past period, Li Kai had almost daily sought Lu Wu's advice, and over time, he had subconsciously placed himself in the role of a student.
So, even though Lu Wu was his employee and much younger, Li Kai genuinely respected Lu Wu.
"Uncle Li, I plan to further refine the Mini Skeleton's advancement plan. May I borrow your workshop?"
Lu Wu, after helping Li Kai solve a few problems, made his request.
"Sure, sure, use it. Go ahead."
How could Li Kai possibly refuse Lu Wu?
He even wanted to join in on the fun. In his eyes, studying the advancement plan for the Mini Skeleton with Teacher Lu Wu was an excellent learning opportunity.
But after glancing at the Mini Skeleton by Lu Wu’s side and the two-for-one Duddu, and considering the size of his workshop, Li Kai wisely decided not to ask.
"Ah, if only I had made my workshop bigger!"
As he watched Lu Wu and Duddu enter the workshop, Li Kai was filled with regret and envy.
"Maybe I should rent the nearby space and expand my workshop?"
Yes, Li Kai thought this was a viable idea!
However, just as Li Kai was pondering this, someone else walked into the shop.
Li Kai looked up and saw his nephew, Lu Wu’s homeroom teacher, Li Chun.
Li Chun’s main purpose for visiting today was to discuss Lu Wu’s situation.
To be honest, when the incident at Field 3 first happened, Li Chun was extremely disappointed in Lu Wu.
He truly never expected Lu Wu to do something so despicable.
But after calming down, Li Chun tried to see things from Lu Wu’s perspective and came to understand him.
Lu Wu’s aspiration and obsession with becoming a professional summoner were well-known to him. When he summoned the Mini Skeleton, he was so enraged that he fainted on the spot.
After waking up, he became determined to improve, working tirelessly throughout the summer.
His efforts paid off with a significant improvement in his academic performance. His uncle took notice and, with his help, the quality of the Mini Skeleton improved, even reaching the standard required for the advanced class allocation test.
In a sense, Lu Wu had climbed from the depths of despair, where he had no hope, to the edge of the abyss.
Just as he was about to climb out, he was kicked back down by Ye Qingshe.
Li Chun found it hard to imagine the pain Lu Wu must have felt, despite his outwardly carefree demeanor.
With this empathy, Li Chun understood why Lu Wu clung to Duddu so desperately.
It was partly an irrational reaction due to the emotional turmoil of the situation, and partly because Lu Wu was not willing to give up.
Duddu was his chosen teammate and his hope for getting into Summoner University. So, it was natural for Lu Wu to cling to her with all his might.
Although this behavior was despicable, both Duddu and her family had accepted it, so as a teacher, Li Chun had no grounds to oppose it.
Moreover, given Ye Qingshe’s character, the matter was already settled, and further opposition would be futile.
Therefore, Li Chun felt that what he could do now was to help Lu Wu, or rather, to help Duddu, who was being held back by Lu Wu.
He wanted to support Duddu and Lu Wu as much as possible, hoping they could both get into Summoner University.
Although Li Chun himself thought the chances were slim, as long as Lu Wu and Duddu hadn’t given up, he felt it was his duty as a teacher to give them a push.
Thus, he came to his uncle’s shop and made a request that Li Kai found utterly unbelievable.
"What? You want me to help Lu Wu get into Summoner University?"
"Yes, I know it’s difficult, but please, Uncle, help him and Duddu."
Seeing his nephew, who was being exceptionally serious and almost on the verge of kneeling, Li Kai was completely baffled.
