My starting summon is a small skeleton-Chapter 160 - 158 Skeleton Knight Research Report
Little Skeleton played the BGM with advertisements three times in a row on the stage.
He kept playing it until the referee couldn’t take it anymore and forcefully ushered him off, yet Little Skeleton still seemed unwilling to leave.
As soon as he got off, Little Skeleton went to check on his mount.
Were the injuries healed? Could he ride it now?
Was there any part of it broken? If broken, he needed to quickly replace it with a new one.
That’s how skeletons were.
If a bone broke, just snap in a new one, and it should work for a pig too!
As for Tuantuan, despite its tender skin and succulent flesh, which looked appetizing no matter how you cooked it, it actually had very thick blood.
Although it had just been beaten until blood streamed from its orifices, it was more frightening to look at than painful. A little something to eat would make this little guy all better.
By the time Little Skeleton came down, Tuantuan was already nearly healed, happily digging into a watermelon while keeping an eye on Little Skeleton!
As soon as Little Skeleton came down from the stage and approached it, both Tuantuan’s eyes and Little Skeleton’s Pupil Fire lit up, and at the same time, they both looked at Lu Wu.
Little Skeleton: Can I ride Tuantuan?
Tuantuan: Can I drink Little Skeleton?
Watching the two little ones simultaneously change their state, Lu Wu said, "Sure, sure, both wishes can be fulfilled."
Lu Wu’s mood now was beyond good.
With this win in the extra match, not only would he move into the top four of Group A and the top eight of the league, but he would also gain 50,000 points and information on Little Skeleton’s Second Evolution.
Additionally, Little Skeleton had just shouted out an advertisement; the revenue from that was definitely not low, probably starting at at least three to four thousand.
With such big earnings, how could Lu Wu’s mood not be good?
Wasn’t he close to taking off?
These little requests from the two little ones were naturally all granted by Lu Wu.
However, as soon as Lu Wu nodded his approval, both little ones were unhappy.
While Tuantuan wanted to drink skeleton soup, it did not want Little Skeleton to ride it.
On the other hand, Little Skeleton wanted to ride Tuantuan, but it did not want to be drunk by Tuantuan.
This made the two little ones conflicted and confused!
Their little brains were spinning wildly, trying to figure out how they could eat/ride the other without being eaten/ridden in return.
While the two little ones were wrestling with their dilemma, Lu Wu’s phone chimed with messages and calls.
Lu Wu took Zhao Kai Ming’s call first, and Zhao’s voice, full of surprise and excitement, came through.
"Xiao Lu, I watched the match; congratulations on beating 001 and winning the extra match!
You did great!
Also, when you’re free later, drop by the Professional Center; Old Zhang has something for you!"
At this point, Zhao Kai Ming paused, seeming to step away for a few steps, then whispered to Lu Wu, "He’s probably planning to improve your treatment, so don’t just accept whatever he says; drive a hard bargain with him.
He values you highly and is especially afraid of losing you.
He had already prepared to pay those 50,000 points himself if you had lost.
So, grab him and chop hard, don’t be polite to him!"
Now, I’d feel embarrassed to ask for more money, hey!
Lu Wu shook his head.
After exchanging some pleasantries with Zhao Kai Ming, he hung up the phone and then looked at the message that had just come in on his phone.
The message was from Jiang Beifeng, with a document attached and a note, "I’ll give you this first. As for the remaining 50,000 points, I’ll apply for it when I get back and try to give it to you within a week!"
"That’s good; this guy is trustworthy; that saves me a lot of trouble."
Jiang Beifeng’s prompt response to the bet after the match improved Lu Wu’s impression of him a great deal.
The money was secondary, the integrity was what mattered!
After praising Jiang Beifeng, Lu Wu opened the document to read.
The first thing that caught his eye was the title of the document.
[Research Report on the Skeleton Knight]
"Skeleton Knight?" Lu Wu raised an eyebrow, "This is clearly a warrior-type second evolution; it’s got nothing to do with Little Skeleton who has already taken the path of the Mage Series, right?
Could it be that you want Little Skeleton to change professions again, riding a pig and wielding a Bone Staff to hack at people?"
Hearing this, Little Skeleton, who was beside him and pondering the thought of riding Tuantuan without having to be ordered, flashed his Pupil Fire with excitement, indicating that if that were the case, it could do it too.
"No! You can’t!"
Lu Wu pushed Little Skeleton’s skull away and then skimmed through the research report while taking Dudu and the others to meet with Zhang Wentao.
Since arriving in this world, Lu Wu had spent most of his time reading books for nearly half a year.
This chapt𝒆r is updated by frёewebηovel.cѳm.
His reading speed had also improved, with ten lines at a glance being a basic drill.
He quickly read through the "Research Report on the Skeleton Knight."
The content matched the title—it was a research report on the Skeleton Knight.
The report contained quite a few solid findings about the Undead Skeleton Series, and Lu Wu did find it somewhat rewarding after reading it.
After finishing, Lu Wu finally understood why they said this matter was related to Little Skeleton’s second evolution.
The report pointed out that the Skeleton Knight might not have evolved from just one Summoned Beast.
Because the Skeleton Knight could be divided into two parts—one part knight, the other part mount.
It could be seen as the fusion evolution of two different Summoned Beasts.
And the characteristics of the knight part matched Little Skeleton amazingly well; the report suggested that this part could very likely have evolved from Little Skeleton.
The report conjectured: The knight was in fact Little Skeleton’s second evolutionary form.
First, Little Skeleton would evolve once, then find a mount for fusion evolution, and finally, they would produce the Skeleton Knight.
Aside from this conjecture, the report also designed several evolution plans based on this guess.
While looking at these plans, Lu Wu’s eyes couldn’t help but roll around.
"These plans aren’t entirely unfeasible, why don’t I give one a try?"
Lu Wu felt like this could actually work.
Of course, he didn’t mean for Little Skeleton to change professions.
Little Skeleton was on a good path with the Magic series, and there was no need to switch professions.
However, the pigs under Little Skeleton’s command could be tinkered with.
Those three pigs had not evolved yet, and Lu Wu thought it was worth a try to see if he could turn them into three Wild Boar Knights.
"Why don’t we focus on this for the next week?
One week is too short to significantly improve Little Skeleton’s power, but if we can really turn these three pigs into three Wild Boar Knights, then Little Skeleton’s power would get a massive boost.
During the finals, it would also give 002 quite a few surprises!"
When it came to 002, Lu Wu’s voice deepened, and his eyes narrowed.
Of course, the magnanimous Lu Wu wasn’t holding a grudge over previous events; he just felt that as a Jiangnan person, he should be rooting for smashing 002’s team...
...…
On the other hand, Zhang Wentao was excitedly rushing to the Professional Center with Zhao Kai Ming.
It was proven that a little stimulation does good to a person.
Stimulated by the prospect of 50,000 points, Zhang Wentao felt his back and legs no longer ached, even feeling like skipping as he walked; he felt decades younger.
While walking, Zhang Wentao was particularly excited, discussing with Zhao Kai Ming how they should reward Lu Wu.
"We can discuss Xiao Lu’s perks separately, but today he defeated Team 001; shouldn’t I give him an additional reward?"
"Right, I remember he once had a Divine Origin Fruit, but he still doesn’t have a second Summoned Beast. Should I try to arrange one for him?
I can get a Silver Quality Summoned Beast, and if I lose face and pay a price, a Gold Quality one isn’t out of the question!"
"Hmm, I’ll still try my best to get a Gold one, Xiao Lu’s Talent is absolutely top-notch, but coming from an Ordinary family, it would take him a long time to get a Gold Quality Summoned Beast if I don’t help him."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Kai Ming couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
Silver? Gold? Don’t joke around; someone already arranged a Summoned Beast for Lu Wu, and that one’s Quality is at least above Gold.
Why would he care about your lousy Gold one?
Of course, Zhao Kai Ming didn’t speak up; if that old man wanted to go through with it, then let him be. Even if Lu Wu didn’t want it in the end, it could be given to his teammates.
