My starting summon is a small skeleton-Chapter 176 - 174 Little Skeleton Hotpot

As 002 was defeated, Little Skeleton’s familiar BGM played, and deafening cheers erupted once again in the arena.

042 became the hope of Jiangnan once again.

As for this, Lu Wu remained quite calm.

On the other hand, Lin Jianying and Fang Bai were extremely excited.

For one of them, it was because he finally managed to be of help to Lu Wuyi.

The other, completely worked up by Lu Wuyi, had his mindset blown and his eyes had turned red.

As soon as the referee announced the end of the match, he was the first to run off to see Little Griffin.

Just as Fang Bai ran off, Team 044 arrived immediately.

The team captain, Wang Jun, extended his hand to Lu Wu, "Congratulations!"

Among the three visiting teams, Lu Wu felt best about Team 044, as there weren’t many entries about them in his notebook.

Hence, his attitude towards them was noticeably better.

Grasping the extended hand, he looked at Fang Bai, still in the arena, and spoke with regret, "I originally thought it would be harder, but I didn’t expect 002 to be so weak."

Unexpectedly, Wang Jun nodded in agreement, "Yes, indeed it was not a match of equals, but it’s alright. Tomorrow it’s our turn, and I’m really looking forward to it!"

"So am I!"

Their handshake grew firmer.

Their eyes, facing each other, sparkled with metaphorical sparks.

The camera quickly focused on both of them, creating a tense atmosphere for the viewers in the livestream as if a battle of the century was about to begin.

By the way, it also captured Fang Bai holding Little Griffin in the arena, his face expressing ’damn it all.’

Meanwhile, as Lu Wu and Wang Jun shook hands and gazed at each other intently,

Lin Jianying, from his team, took his goblin once again towards the restroom.

Don’t get the wrong idea; he wasn’t up to anything indecent—perhaps he just needed to urinate frequently.

Moreover, although he was heading to the restroom again, Lin’s state this time was completely different from the last.

Last time he was nervous and anxious, and as soon as he reached the restroom, he leaned over the sink to furiously wash his face, clearly there to resolve some psychological issues.

But this time, he arrived in a clearly good mood, so he was genuinely resolving a physiological issue.

And just as he was about to wash his hands after finishing, an overly enthusiastic voice came from the side.

"Hey, isn’t this Student Lin? Hello!"

Lin Jianying turned and saw it was a member of Team 003. He nodded, "Hello!"

"I saw your match today, you performed especially well!"

"Thank you for your kind words!" Lin Jianying, unaware of the strangeness in the other’s tone, responded shyly.

"No, no, no, I’m not flattering you at all, your performance today was really good.

Especially that hysterical roar, it truly shook me deeply."

"What do you mean ’I don’t want to drag him down anymore’!"

"Hisss" the man gasped, a disgusted expression on his face: "It made my skin crawl, may I ask how you could say something so vile?"

Lin Jianying’s face stiffened; even if he was naively unaware before, he now realized what the man was up to.

Ignoring him, he prepared to leave, but the man blocked his path.

Seeing his owner tangled up with a weirdo again, the goblin got very irritated and was about to act, but Lin Jianying stopped him.

He couldn’t cause trouble for Lu Wu; the finals were tomorrow, and a confrontation at this time might affect their match.

The man clearly exploited Lin Jianying’s mindset, thus becoming even more insufferable.

"Do you actually think you contributed anything to today’s match?

You didn’t contribute at all.

Was the goblin’s evolution because of you? You should know in your heart who really caused its evolution, and you have absolutely nothing to do with it."

Lin Jianying didn’t want to deal with him and pushed him aside to leave, but the man’s next words stopped him dead.

"The only role you played in this match was to embarrass your team captain.

To your team captain, you are completely worthless."

"Even more pathetically, this situation will follow you your whole life. Unless something unexpected happens, you’ll live under his shadow forever, becoming an irrelevant shadow.

Enjoy such a life."

With that, the man patted Lin Jianying’s face, then left him standing there in a stupor and went away smiling.

After the man left the restroom, the waiting captain of Team 003, Sun Qing, approached.

He glanced at Lin Jianying, still shutting himself off in the restroom, and gently shook his head, whispering, "Not to criticize you, but is it necessary to stir up trouble with a small fry at this time?"

"Can’t help it, I just have this habit, I like to sow seeds whenever I find fertile soil."

Saying this, he turned to look once more at the restroom, smiled, and left with large strides.

When Lin Jianying returned, Lu Wu instantly noticed his unusual mood and asked with concern.

"What’s wrong?"

"I’m fine," Lin Jianying said with a smile.

But his smile didn’t look like nothing was wrong at all. However, Lu Wu was aware of his personality, knowing that if he didn’t mention it himself, it would be hard to get anything out of him. So he glanced at the goblin beside him and noticed its state.

Angry: Master has been bothered by a weirdo again. The despicable weirdo got Master angry. If the goblin sees that weirdo again, he will definitely teach him a lesson!

"Weirdo? What weirdo? Didn’t Old Lin just go to the restroom? Could it be???"

Lu Wu couldn’t help picturing some R-rated scenes, which made him shiver slightly as he began to understand why Old Lin looked so upset yet unwilling to speak about it.

At that moment, Lu Wu didn’t ask any further questions.

But soon he noticed a blind spot, "Wait, why did the goblin say ’again’? Does this happen often to him? Looking closely, Old Lin does look a bit effeminate."

This made Lu Wu look at Lin Jianying with sympathy.

Feeling a sense of duty, he thought that, as the team captain, he should protect his teammate well and should chat with the goblin upon returning to clear up who the weirdo in the restroom was.

Unreachable retaliations on distant battlefields are one thing, but subtle vengeances in arena restrooms are still possible.

After all, today Lin Jianying’s, or rather, the goblin’s performance was really impressive.

It beat Little Demon in a striking reversal and the effect was like turning the advertising world upside down.

Since the goblin defeated Little Demon, the sales of Lu Wu’s goblin injection series had skyrocketed.

So far, this alone had earned Lu Wu over 100 points.

Though it may not sound like much, how long had it been since the goblin’s reversal began? Barely an hour, and everyone’s attention was still mainly on the competition.

Lu Wu had a hunch that after the competition was over, the goblin injection plan would definitely bring in a lot of profits.

Additionally, the audience was particularly interested in the goblin’s evolution, figuring this out would bring in another significant revenue.

Under such circumstances, what weirdo would dare bully Old Lin?

Of course, Lu Wu was determined to settle it!

Upon returning home, Lu Wu secretly pulled the goblin aside. He theno went through the official website to list out players and staff who could access the arena today, and had the goblin identify the weirdo.

Upon hearing this, the goblin, excited to help find the weirdo bullying Lin Jianying, zealously helped Lu Wu identify him.

But it didn’t understand why, after it had helped Lu Wu find the weirdo, Lu Wu suddenly turned on the goblin.

"Damn it, I’ve been so nice to it, and it still called me a weirdo?

This guy really needs a lesson. How am I weird?

Isn’t it just some petting and a few injections?

This is infuriating!"

The more Lu Wu thought about it, the angrier he got, prompting him to have Little Skeleton drag the goblin out for a beating.

Afterwards, Lu Wu got busy.

He still placed great importance on tomorrow’s match against team 044.

Although 044 wasn’t noted in his diary, he had an okay impression of them, but it wasn’t going to affect the competition.

It even made Lu Wu look forward to tomorrow’s match even more.

"I look forward to a match unfettered by personal grievances."

Well, he said so, but what he actually looked forward to more was the gains after winning the final match tomorrow.

If he could defeat 044 tomorrow, he would become the first team from Jiangnan in recent years to crush an external team.

The rewards to be gained were more than just honor, but also substantial benefits.

There was no need to mention advertising revenue. The Jiangnan officials would definitely reward him.

Plus, there would be rewards for being the first in the high school league of Jiangnan Province, benefits that team 044 was prepared to fight for.

It was definitely not just mere monetary points.

Otherwise, Fang Bai and Wang Jun wouldn’t have needed to come; Lu Wu could tell that both of these guys were not ordinary.

Especially Wang Jun who, upon seeing the little goldfish previously, didn’t react as excitedly as others, reminding him of that guy’s summoned beast’s attribute, made Lu Wu even more determined to snatch that first place.

"To snatch the first place, relying on our current power still carries some risks.

044 is stronger than 002, and even though taking down Little Griffin today was easy, that’s because Little Skeleton’s tri-wall significantly countered Little Griffin.

Little Griffin hasn’t grown strong yet, its attack power is average, but it wouldn’t be so easy if it were Wang Jun.

So, we need to stew a broth!"

Coincidentally, Lu Wu had already mastered the White Bone Wild Boar breeding plan, and for Little Skeleton, he had devised a new series.

"Little Skeleton Hotpot"

The first version of "Little Skeleton Hotpot" was already available and ready for use.

Lu Wu made a call to Zhao Kai Ming, who quickly arranged for the materials needed for the "Little Skeleton Hotpot" to be sent from the Professional Center.

With the ingredients ready, another pot of soup was quickly cooked.

"What are you waiting for? Get in!"

Lu Wu kicked Little Skeleton, who was lingering by the pot, inside.

Casually, he closed the lid, turned up the heat, and continued to add ingredients through the gaps in the lid.

Slowly simmering the pot of soup.

As the pot cooked, Tuantuan sniffing around, followed the scent...

Tonight I’m busy, I’ll see if I can rush back. If I can, I’ll update three chapters, if not, just two today and I’ll make up for it tomorrow.
