My starting summon is a small skeleton-Chapter 96 - 095 Underground Cave

In Li Kai’s car.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Lu Wuyi was sneezing while looking down at his phone.

On the backseat, Little Skeleton and Dudu, who was holding Tuantuan, sat side by side, their gazes fixed on Lu Wuyi in the passenger seat.

The look in Dudu’s eyes was filled with excitement and anticipation, while the emotion flickering in Little Skeleton’s Pupil Fire was tinged with resentment.

Ever since the day before yesterday when Lu Wuyi carelessly mentioned getting rid of Little Skeleton, the skeleton had hardly played with its phone these past two days, instead doing all it could to please Lu Wuyi,

fearing that Lu Wuyi might actually throw it away.

But after all, Little Skeleton was just a child of a few months, how could it know how to please someone!

During the day it wasn’t too bad, as Little Skeleton’s clumsy attempts to please Lu Wuyi by serving tea and water were quite appreciated.

But at night it was a different story!

This little guy seemed to think that covering Lu Wuyi with a blanket was an especially impressive way to please him, and countless times throughout the night, he repeated the gesture.

It was a kind thought, but damn, it was already December, and the weather had cooled down. Because of Little Skeleton’s fussing, Lu Wuyi nearly caught a cold.

So, for his own sake, Lu Wuyi revoked Little Skeleton’s right to cover him with a blanket.

This caused Little Skeleton to become especially downtrodden!

After all, to it, losing the privilege to cover with a blanket was rounding up to losing the whole world!

Now, seeing Tuantuan being held in Dudu’s arms, Little Skeleton felt even more upset.

Although Tuantuan’s Lu Wuyi wouldn’t buy it a phone, Little Skeleton’s Lu Wuyi never held Little Skeleton, either!

It seemed that Lu Wuyi really didn’t like Little Skeleton anymore, and its own Lu Wuyi was about to turn into a bad Lu Wuyi!

Maybe soon it would become a Little Skeleton that wasn’t wanted by Lu Wuyi at all.

Yeah, ever since Little Skeleton’s bones had been stuffed with something, its spiritual wisdom had been growing every day, and now it was downright resentful!

...

Lu Wuyi on the other hand, had no idea of the complex and resentful emotions swirling in his Little Skeleton.

He was currently studying the Secret Realm they were heading to.

Since they were going to the Secret Realm, Lu Wuyi had been researching and investigating the realm over the past few days.

Through his research, Lu Wuyi found that there were different types of Secret Realms.

They could generally be divided into two kinds: those controlled by humans and those not controlled by humans.

And the ones that were open to ordinary people, or non-Professional Summoners, were basically the first type of Secret Realm.

Even the Secret Realms controlled by humans were categorized further, into those fully controlled and those partially controlled.

There were exploration-type Secret Realms, as well as challenge and training-type Secret Realms.

The Secret Realm that Lu Wuyi and his group were headed to that day wasn’t the Great Tomb he had previously considered, but a trial-type Secret Realm fully controlled by humans.

This Secret Realm, known as the Underground Cave, was located in the mountains near Quan City and was discovered by a Professional Summoner 50 years ago.

After discovering and conquering this Secret Realm, he sold the location to the Professional Summoner Center.

After acquiring the realm, the Professional Summoner Center modified it to a certain extent, turning it into an entry-level, trial-type Secret Realm for training non-professional characters.

The previous elite class had trained in this Secret Realm with good results, so Lu Wuyi planned to spend some time there first.

"We are going to spend the next half a month in this Secret Realm. Our goal is to have Little Skeleton reach three stars and Tuantuan to reach two stars in this half month!"

That was Lu Wuyi’s short-term goal.

After achieving this small goal, he would then consider the matters of the Great Tomb.

But as soon as he mentioned this small goal, Dudu became a bit embarrassed and said, "Well, Tuantuan seems to have become two stars."

Lu Wuyi was startled and immediately inquired about the details, "When? How did the breakthrough happen?"

He was still very interested in the breakthrough aspect of Summoned Beasts, wanting to compile a set of effective breakthrough techniques.

However, Tuantuan’s method of breakthrough was clearly of no help to Lu Wu.

"Woke up this morning, and Tuantuan had already broken through. I have no idea how it happened!"

Dudu felt somewhat downcast for not being able to help Lu Wu.

On Lu Wu’s end, seeing the dispirited Dudu and then looking at the pig in her arms that ate until it was full and slept when it was tired, he couldn’t help but turn and glare at his Little Skeleton.

Look at others, both being beasts, they can eat and sleep and manage a breakthrough, so why can’t you?

Little Skeleton, already feeling wronged, felt even more aggrieved after being glared at by Lu Wu.

Plus, for some unknown reason, it was also feeling a bit inclined to punch the pig.

...

After about an hour’s drive,

Lu Wu and his group arrived at the Underground Cave Secret Realm.

This was their first visit to a Secret Realm, so they were immediately astonished upon arrival.

Mainly because this Secret Realm differed from what they had imagined.

In their minds, a Secret Realm should have more of a mysterious, fantastical flair. But upon reaching their destination, Lu Wu and company seriously doubted whether Li Kai had taken a wrong turn, bringing them to a shopping mall instead.

It was no wonder Lu Wu and his group were suspicious; the place was just too similar to a shopping mall.

There was an underground parking garage for them to park their cars.

Above the underground parking garage were three floors; the first floor housed a supermarket, restaurant, and various shops.

The second floor contained all kinds of stores similar to Li Kai’s general store, along with some recreational facilities--Lu Wu even spotted a movie theater.

The third floor was different; it was an accommodation area, yes, the kind for renting rooms.

After noticing this, Lu Wu discreetly paid attention, then quickly withdrew his gaze.

While Lu Wu and his group were taking in this Secret Realm, or rather, this plaza, Li Kai couldn’t help but curl his lip, "Honestly, calling this kind of place a Secret Realm doesn’t sit well with me. In my opinion, a place completely controlled by humans and already commercialized can no longer be called a Secret Realm!

At best, it’s an expensive training ground.

In a Secret Realm like this, hoping for an adventure is virtually impossible!

Without danger and opportunity, how can this still be considered a Secret Realm!

Such a place, we normally wouldn’t even bother with..."

As he spoke, Li Kai suddenly had a brainwave, remembering why he was here, and quickly changed his tone, "However, this place does have its benefits. It excels in safety and comfort, particularly suitable for a graceful and composed Cultivation Master like Mr. Lu!"

Lu Wu remained particularly indifferent to Li Kai’s abrupt bout of flattery.

After all, he was only stating the truth; indeed, he was such an elegant and composed Cultivation Master.

But Li Kai’s words sounded unpleasant to others.

"Hmph!"

A snooty, arrogant snort came from the side, and when Lu Wu looked up, he saw a pair of long legs...
