Chapter 43: Recruiting Teammates
Chapter 43: Recruiting Teammates
As soon as Little Skeleton advanced, Lu Wu and Little Skeleton both felt that the weather was pleasant and the moon was high, so they decided to head to the training ground for some practice.
However, Du Du's pig disagreed.
This pig was not only lazy but also clever.
Seeing that Little Skeleton had changed, and that baseball bat was different too, it didn't want to fight with Little Skeleton.
Hmm, bullying weaker opponents was fine, but getting beaten up was unacceptable!
Even though he might not lose, there was a chance of getting hit, and this pig absolutely refused to fight!
Tuan Tuan disagreed, and so the fight couldn't start. Moreover, Lu Wu had been busy all day, and now it was already past 11 PM. Du Du's dad even called Lu Wu to bring his daughter back home.
Lu Wu had no choice but to send Du Du back home.
Speaking of sending Du Du home, this was quite an interesting matter.
After Lu Wu sent Du Du back, her dad intended to pull him aside for a lecture, but once inside, Du Du's mom pushed her dad aside.
Unlike Du Du's dad, her mom's attitude towards Lu Wu was genuinely admirable. She treated Lu Wu like a son, showering him with affection and concern, even scolding her husband.
What if the couple returned late?
It would be better if they didn't come back at all, for Du Du's mom was planning to discuss with Lu Wu's mother about arranging their marriage if they didn't return tonight.
Their plump daughter had finally found a suitor, and such a promising one at that. If they didn't seize this opportunity, it would be difficult to find another match for her in the future.
Hmm, with this thought, Du Du's mom even considered letting Lu Wu stay the night.
What could Lu Wu do but refuse?
He was still a bachelor, and he had to be self-disciplined, not spending nights outside casually. Besides, Du Du hadn't lost weight yet.
Lu Wu finally managed to escape from Du Du's enthusiastic mom and returned home.
Lu Wu initially thought that since it was already midnight, no one in his family would be awake. However, as soon as he opened the door, he encountered his father sleeping on the sofa.
Hmm, he was sleeping on the sofa.
"What's going on here?" Lu Wu asked curiously.
"I just told your mom that I might have to go on a business trip soon," Lu Hai Kong said with a pitiful expression.
Lu Wu immediately understood, "And then you were kicked out? Dad, I'm not blaming you, but your job has low pay and a lot of work. You'd love to go on business trips for 200 days a year if you could. Why don't you consider changing jobs to have more time with Mom?"
"Get out of here! Do you think it's easy to find a job these days? I don't want to, but fine, I won't explain it to you. Go to sleep!"
As he spoke, Lu Hai Kong covered his head with the blanket, indicating that he didn't want to deal with Lu Wu.
Lu Wu smirked and went back to his room without saying anything.
Once in his room, Lu Wu peeked out from under the blanket and looked at Lu Wu's door, muttering, "Little Skeleton's quality seems to have advanced!"
Then, Lu Hai Kong covered his head again and continued sleeping.
Back in his room, Lu Wu was immersed in researching one particular matter—how to charge Little Skeleton's baseball bat.
Could he just plug it into a power outlet?
Hmm, Lu Wu didn't think this was a good idea, although it could be used if he wanted to die on the spot.
But Lu Wu wasn't ready for that, so he needed to think of something else.
"Can I use a phone charger to charge it?"
Lu Wu's imagination ran wild, and he tried it out. Surprisingly, it worked!
When the phone charger was plugged in, an additional progress bar labeled 'Charging' appeared on the baseball bat's attribute board, and it was filling up quite fast, estimated to be fully charged within three hours.
Upon seeing this progress bar, Lu Wu was stunned.
If a phone charger could fully charge in two to three hours, would this weapon have any killing power?
Even if it's a mouse, there's no way it would get electrocuted to death!
Lu Wu expressed his disappointment, while the little skeleton, who was watching TV, remained indifferent.
"At least it's an advancement. Maybe there'll be a surprise during the next quality upgrade."
Given the current situation, this was the only way Lu Wu could console himself.
Afterward, Lu Wu put aside the charging baseball bat and began his last task before sleep—writing in his diary!
No one knew when Lu Wu developed the habit of keeping a diary.
His diary was unique; it was very detailed. From the day's events to the knowledge gained and even life reflections, Lu Wu poured everything into it.
Sometimes, he also wrote about his plans for the future or the following day. Like today, for instance.
Lu Wu wrote in his diary:
"As of now, my accumulated thoughts on the little skeleton's quality upgrade have been exhausted. The little skeleton has improved, but that chapter has come to an end. With my current knowledge, it's unlikely that I can enhance the little skeleton's quality again in a short time; I can only slowly grind.
I'll just have to rely on the error-free version of the book!
However, the little skeleton's current strength is already sufficient, and the most crucial thing for me right now is not the little skeleton's growth but finding a new teammate.
The High School League requires teams of three, and with Dudu, I only have two members. I need one more.
Although the league doesn't start until early next year, I can't just find a temporary teammate.
After all, cultivating a teammate takes time, and because we're not in the advanced class, we have to handle things like Mystic Realms and warm-up matches on our own.
So, if I want to cultivate a qualified teammate, I need to start scouting for suitable candidates during this period.
Hmm, let me mention my requirements for a new teammate. It's simple, just three things: a girl, rich, and foolish!"
Among these three points, the most crucial one is being rich! After all, Lu Wu isn't running a charity; he's a poor guy himself. He can't possibly find another poor teammate, or else Li Kai's support might not be enough.
If I find another poor person, Li Kai's resources might be stretched too thin. So, I must find a wealthy person to be the new 'Mark for Money'.
Of course, it would be ideal to find someone who is not only a valuable summon beast to cultivate but also has tactical value, comes from a wealthy family, is good-looking, and is a bit foolish. If I could find a rich lady like that to be my new teammate, Lu Wu would be delighted.
But after careful consideration, Lu Wu felt it wouldn't be that easy.
There might be such people in school, but they wouldn't consider Lu Wu.
Wealthy families with children aspiring to become Summoners usually send them to the advanced class; it's not a big issue.
If a wealthy family wants their child to become a Summoner and they're not in the advanced class, their Summon Beast must be incredibly weak.
Even Lu Wu's little skeleton, if given to someone else to cultivate, could be raised with one or two million. As for Summon Beasts weaker than the little skeleton, well, they're practically non-existent.
So, those who are truly wealthy and willing to spend are probably already in the advanced class.
This gave Lu Wu a slight headache.
After a moment of pondering, a sudden idea flashed in Lu Wu's mind: "Oh, didn't Ye Qingshe say something like, 'If you can't even beat ordinary class students, you're not qualified to stay in my class'? How about I go to the advanced class and beat someone down?"
