Chapter 77: Bronze
Chapter 77: Bronze
A Black Iron quality, 2-star Mini Skeleton.
It had awakened an Elite 2-star level skill with explosive power.
How could this be possible!
Even among Bronze or Silver-grade Summon Beasts, it was rare to find one with such a powerful awakened skill, let alone a Black Iron-grade Summon Beast, and that too, the universally acknowledged worst, the Mini Skeleton.
Zhao Kai Ming felt that Li Wu had created something out of nothing!
But the mark on the Mini Skeleton's head couldn't be wrong, and the previous energy outburst must have been real.
"Incredible! What skill did it awaken?"
"It's a Lightning attribute, but as for the specific skill, the Mini Skeleton just awakened it," Li Wu said, rubbing his nose. The Mini Skeleton was in a foul mood and didn't want to be touched. Besides, it hadn't fully completed its evolution yet.
"Lightning attribute? But it's an Undead Summon Beast, how could it awaken a Lightning skill?"
As Zhao Kai Ming was astonished, another thought crossed his mind, "Wait, if the Mini Skeleton has awakened a skill, it proves that your plan was effective! It's a success!"
"How did you do this? What's the principle behind this plan of yours?"
"Oh, you mean this?"
When it came to this aspect, Li Wu never held back. After Zhao Kai Ming asked, Li Wu explained the entire process of his Skeleton Soup 4.0 version, including the concept and principles behind the plan.
"Out of the box!"
"Ingenious!"
"Brilliant mind!"
After listening to Li Wu's explanation, each of the three old men gave their evaluation, their eyes on Li Wu filled with a scorching intensity that could burn through anything.
It was clear that these old men were even more eager to learn from Li Wu than before.
Zhang Wentao sighed, "As expected, giving you the A-Class Support Program was the right decision!"
Zhao Kai Ming pouted, "What do you mean, right? I think the A-Class is too low, it should be an S-Class Welfare Program for Li Wu."
Li Wu's eyes lit up at this suggestion, "Really? Are you going to increase my welfare level?"
Zhang Wentao glared at him and abruptly changed the subject. "Well, we need to consider this, but Li Wu, your Skeleton Soup plan can be submitted on the Intranet.
For this type of innovation, if it passes the review, you'll receive a reward."
"Is that so?"
Li Wu's attention was successfully diverted, "How do I do that?"
"Log into the Intranet later. There's a new scheme review function on the Breeder Innovation page. You can submit your new plan there."
Li Wu made a mental note of this and planned to try it out when he returned.
Then, accompanied by the three old men, Li Wu waited for the Mini Skeleton's quality to evolve.
After about half an hour, the Mini Skeleton's quality upgrade was complete.
As soon as it emerged from the pot, the three old men surrounded it, examining and touching the Mini Skeleton that had awakened a Lightning skill.
They were quite interested in this Mini Skeleton and the effects of Li Wu's Skeleton Soup.
After some touching, the three old men were even more amazed.
"This Mini Skeleton's quality has improved; it's almost at the Bronze-grade level now."
"Based on the energy flow in its bones, it has indeed awakened a Lightning skill. But the flow seems gentle; how could it have such a powerful burst?"
"It might be a special emotional issue. Li Wu, what happened during its outburst?
Knowing exactly what triggered it will greatly aid your future training."
The three experts quickly identified the key issue.
Li Wu touched his nose, "That... the phone I brought in with me exploded."
"The phone blew up?"
"Yeah, that was its favorite phone."
"Well, that's good news. The phone's destruction might have triggered its outburst. Get it a few more phones, and during fights, you can smash them for fun. Who knows, maybe its ultimate move will activate while you're at it."
Zhao Kai Ming offered his advice.
The little skeleton beside them shuddered. Although it couldn't understand much of what the old man said, it sensed something sinister about him.
He wanted to smash phones! But then, he also mentioned buying phones for the little skeleton.
The three old men had been examining the little skeleton, and after figuring out its situation, they returned it to Li Wu, along with their final evaluation.
"It's not bad. The quality barely reaches the Bronze level, and it has awakened a Lightning-attribute skill.
By the way, that baseball bat of its seems pretty good. With proper training, you might have a chance to enter the provincial tournament in the High School League."
"But your Little Skeleton Soup is even better. Don't forget to upload it later.
With this plan, you'll earn a reward of at least a few hundred points, and there's a share of the profits afterward. It's a shame that the Little Skeleton is an unpopular Summon Beast; otherwise, you could live off this one plan for life.
However, don't underestimate these few hundred points. Although they might only amount to a few million when exchanged for money, you'd need ten times that amount to exchange for these points directly.
Clearly, these old men wanted Li Wu to stay committed to the path of a Breeder.
Unfortunately, Li Wu didn't hear them at this moment; he was too focused on examining the Little Skeleton's attributes.

As Li Wu examined the Little Skeleton's attribute panel, he noticed a significant increase in its strength and an improvement in its baseball bat's quality. Amidst his surprise, a realization dawned on him.
"I haven't given the Little Skeleton a name yet. How about we come up with one?"
