Chapter 38: 038 The Way to Maintain Peak Appearance

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Having won a rare victory, Lu Wu and Skeleton were overjoyed and excited, and both expressed their desire to do it again.

The pig, which was beaten up for the first time, also expressed that it was extremely upset, and it also wanted to fight again!

So, soon the 68th battle between Skeleton and Tuan Tuan officially broke out.

Then, Lu Wu and Skeleton’s ego, which had become slightly inflated just now, had once again deflated.

Because Tuan Tuan already knew the current strength of Skeleton, coupled with the bad mood after being hit by the bat, this pig had rarely fought with all it had got.

Then, Skeleton, which just had a first taste of victory, had been abused again.

Tuan Tuan was particularly terrifying when it gave its all, it was no longer playing with Skeleton by following its protocol and keeping a distance.

Once the fight started, it activated [Enlarge], then directly used [Earth Spike] to restrict the movement of Skeleton, and finally used [Charge] to launch an attack.

Well, when Lu Wu saw this set of tactics, his mood was particularly complicated.

Because this tactic was one that he specially developed for this pig, and now the pig was using this tactic to beat up his poor Skeleton. Lu Wu, who was on the losing side, deeply experienced the horror of this tactic when used by this pig.

Blockade by [Ground Spike] restricted Skeleton’s course of action and forced it to face the pig’s charge.

Then Skeleton became a tragedy.

Although this pig’s [Charge] was an unoptimized version, his body size was still a factor after all.

Its [Charge] did not even need an optimization, by merely running it already seemed like a wild boar charging, and the power was no joke.

It directly pushed Skeleton down.

This was still because the pig had reserved a little bit of strength, and that Skeleton’s [Block] skill had been optimized and was able to divert the force. Otherwise, Lu Wu’s Skeleton might have fallen apart.

In the 68th battle, Skeleton, who had just tasted victory, was defeated again.

But this time, it didn’t discourage Lu Wu and Skeleton.

On Lu Wu’s end, he was busy analysing the situation with Skeleton. And on Skeleton’s end? Skeleton was a little weird. After tasting the victory, it seemed to have fallen in love with the feeling of victory, and its desire to fight became extremely strong. After being pushed down, it looked at Lu Wu.

Flames burning in its eyes were sending a message to Lu Wu.

Skeleton wanted to fight again!

Coincidentally, Lu Wu also felt that the first and second battles were too short and ended too fast, so he let Skeleton and the pig fight a third round.

In the third battle, Lu Wu mainly wished to collect Skeleton’s current data.

So, he did not direct the Skeleton. After telling Tuan Tuan to reserve a little strength, he let Skeleton fight freely while Lu Wu himself observed.

After hitting Skeleton once, Tuan Tuan’s mood was much better and it stopped being fierce, so in the 69th battle, the two little guys fought for five to six minutes before the pig finally got tired and the fight came to an end.

These five or six minutes of battle gave Lu Wu a more detailed understanding of Skeleton’s current situation.

There was no doubt that after Skeleton mastered the three optimized skills, its combat effectiveness had been significantly improved.

It could even be said that, to a certain extent, Skeleton’s chances with Tuan Tuan became fifty-fifty.

The “to a certain extent” here referred to the circumstances where Skeleton could avoid Tuan Tuan’s “wild boar charging”.

As long as Skeleton could avoid collision with the pig, it would be able to drag on the fight with its agile speed until the pig became exhausted and gave up on the battle.

As for defeating Tuan Tuan head-on?

Lu Wu had to admit that Skeleton still couldn’t achieve this without Tuan Tuan being careless.

The main problem here was that its attack was too weak. When Tuan Tuan enlarged, its defense would skyrocket, and even Skeleton’s strongest explosive skill [Charge] would not be able to break its defense.

“So, is it still a problem with the power of attack? In this case, it’s time that I start considering giving it a more powerful skill!”

“However, it is a little difficult to get a more powerful skill. After all, [Charge] is just a basic skill. I have already optimized it in all ways I could think of. Even if there is still room for development, it should be difficult to get it done at my current level. So, if I want to give it a powerful skill, I have to think of something else. Alas, if this guy can awaken a powerful skill, it would be great.”

Speaking of awakening skills, Lu Wu’s gaze at the pig became full of envy unconsciously.

Looking at the pig, its three awakened skills were all terrific, and then he looked back at Skeleton, none had been awakened after so many months.

Both were summoned beasts, but why was the difference so big?

Shaking his head and withdrawing his gaze, Lu Wu continued to think. “As for the program for improving the quality of Skeleton, I’m almost done. I can try out the program later. If it goes well, the quality of Skeleton should be able to improve recently and reach the Iron level. Hopefully, it can awaken a skill by then.”

“If this little guy can’t awaken a skill at that time, I can only think of other ways, or I can focus on dodge skill training.”

Well, as long as Skeleton dodged fast enough, such that Tuan Tuan couldn’t hit it, then it would not lose.

Of course, without a powerful attack, it was also hard to win.

“Well, let’s hope it can awaken a more powerful skill when its quality improves.”

After Lu Wu murmured on his own for a while, he glanced at Tuan Tuan, who was snuggling lazily in Tutu’s arms after having just fought for less than ten minutes. Then, he looked at Skeleton, who was staring at Tuan Tuan with flames burning in its eyes and waving his baseball bat, seeming to reminisce about the moment of his victory.

Lu Wu originally wanted to continue the training, but on second thought, he didn’t.

“Let’s go, let’s go over to the shop.”

He was going to continue studying the Skeleton’s Enhancement Program and see if he could come up with a plan today.

So, Lu Wu, who had only opened the room for less than half an hour, left the room with Tutu under the surprised gaze of the staff, and then rushed to Li Kai’s shop while holding hands.

On the way, Lu Wu, who was holding Pang Tutu’s hand, suddenly realized something, so he stopped and turned to look at Tutu.

“You seem to have stopped gaining weight recently? Your hands don’t seem to keep getting fat. Have you started dieting to lose weight?”

When Lu Wu asked this question, Tutu became nervous. “No… No… I’ve been eating well, I eat 5 bowls of rice in every meal!”

Lu Wu’s brows frowned. “Five bowls? You’re telling me that you’re not on a diet when you’re eating so little? Don’t be like this, you can eat more!”

Well, if Tutu didn’t eat more, how could the energy reserve in her body reach the standard?

If the energy reserve in the body did not reach the standard, how could her comradeship skill be triggered, and how could she return to the peak of her appearance?

“Wait, energy reserve? I seem to have discovered something extraordinary!”

Lu Wu’s brain suddenly flashed with inspiration. He seemed to have vaguely come up with an idea of keeping Tutu’s appearance at peak.
