Skeleton’s Training Manual - Chapter 25

Chapter 25: 025 Quality Enhancement

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Lu Wu didn’t know why, but Pang Tutu’s popularity in his home far exceeded him.

Not to mention Lu Haikong, who could switch between a loving father and a stepfather by just turning his head from Pang Tutu towards him.

Even Lu Wu’s sister Lu Ni had a particular liking towards Pang Tutu.

Maybe it was because Pang Tutu’s body was softer as she was chubby, which perhaps was more comfortable to snuggle in. No matter the reason, whenever Pang Tutu came over, the little girl would immediately betray and wanted her cuddle instead.

Even Lee Ruyu doted on Pang Tutu. Every time she came, Lee Ruyu would make her a table of delicious food and persuade her to eat.

Saying unscrupulous things like “you’re too skinny”, “it’s better to be chubbier”, and “eating is a blessing” made Lu Wu suspect that his mother’s doting was the main reason why this girl had grown so fat.

In short, as soon as this girl came over, Lu Wu’s status in his home plummeted. He could only squat on Pang Tutu’s side to serve as her servant.

It could be said that fortune was finally in her favour.

Of course, Lu Wu was already accustomed to this situation. After all, either in the memory of his predecessor, or during the past month, this girl had already come over numerous times.

That was why Lu Wu adapted very well. After pouring some tea for her, he helped Pang Tutu to hold her piglet.

On one hand, it was to make it easier for Pang Tutu to cuddle his sister, on the other hand, he wanted to start preparing to help Pang Tutu improve.

Lu Wu still had some conscience!

He promised to help Pang Tutu after he became stronger. Now that Skeleton had begun to advance, it was time for Lu Wu to start the training for the piglet.

Holding the pig, Lu Wu found a corner and started studying Piglet’s attributes.

　　…

Name: Piglet

Strength: 0 Star

Quality: Normal (to be enhanced)

Class: No specific class

Status: Healthy (lazy)

Skill: Awakening (97% progress)

Weakness: No obvious weakness

Comment: Just give up, it’s not interested in anything except eating.

　　…

Looking at the attributes of piglet, Lu Wu sank into deep thought.

His golden finger had its limits. The quality enhancement program must be tried before it could appear on the attributes page, just like the previous ‘Skeleton’s Training Manual’.

Or similar to Li Kai’s Firefly Grass. After Li Kai experimented with the enhancement, and Lu Wu reasoned out the process he used, it could appear on the attributes page.

Like the piglet which had never used any enhancement program, even if Lu Wu had a plan in his heart, the program would not appear on the attributes page.

This meant that if Lu Wu wanted to enhance this piglet, he had to experiment with it first.

This was extremely inconvenient!

But this was not too big of a problem.

Lu Wu had a fairly complete plan in his mind. Now he only needed to streamline this plan to make it easier, and then try it out a bit so that it could appear on the attributes page, and then Lu Wu could just modify the program directly on the attributes page.

“Although I do have a plan, I really don’t have much confidence in enhancing this piglet.”

“After all, summoned beast trainers are not gods. If this pig really has no potential, I can’t turn a stone into gold!”

“Even if I am able to do it, the money it will cost is probably not something I can afford. Well, fortunately, there is a dupe!”

Muttering these words under his breath, Lu Wu began to get busy. Pressing the piglet on his lap as a table, he took out paper and pen and began writing and drawing on top, streamlining the plan for training the piglet.

This task was not an easy one. Lu Wu’s streamlined plan must have some effect on this pig, yet it must not have side effects. This was a great challenge for Lu Wu, and the system could not offer him any help in this respect. Lu Wu only had himself to rely on as he carefully pondered the plan over and over.

This lasted for an hour or two, he was still not done when it was time to eat.

“What are you busy doing? It’s time to eat!”

Lu Haikong did not let go of any opportunity to retaliate against Lu Wu, who robbed him of his private money and told on him. He came over and slapped Lu Wu on the back of his head, and picked up the notebook that Lu Wu had been writing and drawing on for an hour or two.

As he took a look, Lu Haikong raised his eyebrows abruptly. “Unfilial son! Are you trying to extend your claws to Pang Tutu and use her Tuan Tuan as your guinea pig?”

“No, I will never allow you to do this. With your limited knowledge, I won’t say anything about you experimenting with your Skeleton.”

“But if you dare to experiment on Tuan Tuan and cause it any harm, I will break your legs! “”

Lu Wu covered the back of his head and looked at Lu Haikong.

He was especially suspicious that this old man already knew he was fake.

Upon listening to what he just said, Lu Wu suspected that his position in this old man’s heart was even lower than a pig.

Lu Wu didn’t bother to explain to him, because any explanation would be useless. The old man would not believe his words if he said he actually had talents. Anyway, soon enough Skeleton would be enhanced. Then he would prove this old man wrong by showing him how much Skeleton’s quality had improved.

But Lu Haikong didn’t mean to hold on to this matter, he already felt better after slapping Lu Wu.

But when he was eating, he repeatedly warned Pang Tutu that she should guard against Lu Wu and not let him trick her into selling her, and she should not give her piglet to Lu Wu.

Lu Wu did not make any comment on this but secretly rolled his eyes.

There was nothing he could say. Lu Wu was still very confident in Pang Tutu. Even if the old man talked until his saliva went dry, it would still be useless. If Lu Wu wanted to sell her, just a sentence would do.

Moreover, Lu Wu was quite confident that if he really sold this girl, she would still help Lu Wu count the money, for fear that others would cheat on Lu Wu.

Lu Haikong was also clearly aware of this, so he started to change the conversation and told Pang Tutu all kinds of bad things about Lu Wu in an attempt to hurt Lu Wu’s image in Pang Tutu’s heart.

But Lu Wu wasn’t bothered, he was even indifferent. Instead, this just made Pang Tutu extremely anxious.

She kept wanting to help Lu Wu quibble but couldn’t find the right time to cut into the conversation, and she didn’t dare to speak to Lu Haikong loudly. In the end, she got so anxious that her face flushed with anxiety, and no longer had the mood to eat. She only ate two large bowls of rice after sitting there for ten minutes.

Lee Ruyu felt very concerned about Pang Tutu so she swiftly gave Lu Haikong a kick. The old man immediately became quiet, and this meal could finally be eaten in peace.

After eating, Lu Wu was about to go back and continue with the program that hadn’t been finished. However, just as Lu Wu stood up, he suddenly felt something cold pouring out of his brain.

At this instant, there seemed to be a loud ‘boom’ within Lu Wu’s head. When he regained himself, Lu Wu found that the world in front of him seemed suddenly clearer.

However, he reacted more quickly. This situation was an illusion after the mental strength was suddenly strengthened. This situation would disappear soon and it was not the main point. The main point was that if this situation were to occur, it meant that Skeleton should have completed its quality enhancement!

Realizing this, Lu Wu immediately rushed to his room…
