Skeleton’s Training Manual

Chapter 43: 043 Recruiting Teammates

Lu Wu and Skeleton both felt that the weather today was beautiful. The moon was shining bright and both of them wanted to go to the training centre.

However, Tutu’s pig did not agree to this.

Not only was this pig lazy, but it was also very smart.

When it saw that Skeleton was completely transformed and even the baseball bat looked different, Tuan Tuan did not want to have a fight with Skeleton.

That’s right. Beating someone else was fine, getting beaten was not!

Although it might not lose to Skeleton, there was still a chance that it might get beaten up. This pig would never get into a fight if he would get up getting beaten.

Since Tuan Tuan disagreed, the match could not take place. Plus, Lu Wu had been busy for the entire day and it was already eleven at night. Tutu’s father had already given him a call, asking for his daughter.

So, Lu Wu had no other choice but to send Tutu back home.

Well, something interesting did happen while Lu Wu was escorting her back home.

As soon as they reached her house, Tutu’s father brought Lu Wu inside the house and was ready to teach him a lesson, but as soon as they got inside the house, Tutu’s mother pushed Tutu’s father aside before he had the chance to open his mouth.

Her mother’s attitude towards Lu Wu was much different compared to Tutu’s father. She was so nice to Lu Wu that it was as if Lu Wu was her own son. She greeted him with so much love and care and even lectured Tutu’s father.

So what if the both of them came back late?

It’d be even better if they didn’t come home tonight. If that happened, Tutu’s mother was already prepared to discuss marriage with Lu Wu’s mother.

Her fat, chubby daughter finally found a boyfriend and he’s perfect. If they let go of this one, it would be extremely difficult to find another one.

Yes, as Tutu’s mother continued this chain of thought, she even asked if Lu Wu wanted to stay over for the night.

What choice did Lu Wu have? He’d have to reject her!

He’s still a young, virgin boy and he should have more self-love. Lu Wu shouldn’t be staying over at anyone’s house and also, Pang Tutu hadn’t lost all the extra weight yet.

Lu Wu finally managed to run away from Pang Tutu’s mother who was over-enthusiastic and returned to his own home.

Lu Wu thought that since it was already twelve midnight, no one would still be awake at home. However, as soon as he opened the door, he saw his dad in the living room.

Hmm… To be precise, he was sleeping on the couch.

“What happened?” Lu Wu was curious.

“I just told your mum that I might have a business trip soon,” Lu Haikong replied with a helpless expression.

Lu Wu immediately understood and said, “Then you got chased out of the room? Dad, don’t blame me for saying this, but that small company that you’re working for is paying you much less than the work that you do. You are on business trips for at least 200 days a year. Why don’t you get a new job where you can spend more time with my mum?”

“Go go, go away. Do you think that it’s that easy to get a new job? Do you think that I want it to be like this? Forget it. There’s no point telling you all these since you wouldn’t understand anyway. Just go to bed!”.

Then, Lu Haikong pulled the blanket and covered his head, trying to tell Lu Wu that he no longer wanted to talk to him anymore.

Lu Wu’s mouth twitched and he went back to his room.

As Lu Wu closed the door to his room, Lu Haikong, who was under the blanket, pulled down the blanket and looked at Lu Wu’s room. Then, he muttered to himself, “Looks like Skeleton’s quality got enhanced again!”

After that, he pulled the blanket over his head and went to bed.

As for Lu Wu, he was experimenting with something as soon as he went back to his room. He had to find out how to charge Skeleton’s baseball bat.

Directly plugging it into the socket?

Hmm… alright, even Lu Wu thought that this wasn’t a good idea unless he’s planning to die now.

Since he had no plans of dying anytime soon, he thought of something else.

“What about… using a phone charger cable?”

Lu Wu thought that he was bieng stupid, but when he tried, it worked!

As soon as he plugged in the charger, a progress bar appeared in the attributes bar and it wouldn’t take long as it said that it’d only take about three hours.

After looking at the progress bar, Lu Wu was dumbfounded.

This thing would be completely charged within three hours, would this thing be lethal though?

Forget about shocking a human, it wouldn’t even kill a rat!

Lu Wu was extremely disappointed about this, even Skeleton… Uh, okay, Skeleton was too occupied with its show that it didn’t care about the baseball bat.

“Since it can still be upgraded, maybe there would be a surprise the next time I enhance it.”

As of now, this was the only way that Lu Wu could make himself feel better.

Then, he placed the baseball bat on the floor and did one last thing before going to bed — writing his diary!

Since some time ago, Lu Wu had got the habit of writing in his diary.

His diary was a little different from the others as it was extremely detailed. It mentioned all the things that happened today, from knowledge gained to the life lesson that he learned that day.

There were also some that mentioned his plan for tomorrow or even for the far future. This was exactly what happened today.

Lu Wu wrote in his diary:

Up till now, all the ideas that I’ve had to enhance Skeleton’s quality have all been used and Skeleton’s quality has been greatly improved. However, there would be a pause after this as with all the knowledge that I have now, it is quite difficult for me to enhance it anymore within a short period of time. So, I’ll just take it easy.

However, Skeleton’s abilities now are good enough. Since the most important thing now is no longer enhancing Skeleton, instead, he should start looking for a new teammate.

Three people are required to form a team for the National’s High School League. With me and Tutu, we’ll still need one more person.

Although the League will only take place next year, I should start preparing it from now,

Since it would take time for them to work together as a team. Also, because they didn’t get into the special classes, they’d have to settle the secret realms and the warm-up matches by themselves.

So, in order to get a satisfactory teammate, I’ll have to start looking for suitable candidates now.

Hmm… let me write down what I want for my new teammate. It’s extremely simple, just three main things — it has to be a girl, with cash and someone that isn’t that smart!

Among these three points, the most important one would be the cash!

Well, Lu Wu wasn’t doing this for charity. He was already broke himself. Skeleton’s enhancement was entirely sponsored by Li Kai, he couldn’t get Li Kai to sponsor another one, right?

If he found another one that required sponsoring, Li Kai’s entire savings would be used up by Lu Wu which was why he had to find someone else to sponsor their team.

If he could find someone who already had a summoned beast that was worth nurturing along with certain combat skills and was a rich girl that was pleasing to the eyes, Lu Wu would be extremely happy.

However, Lu Wu realised that it wouldn’t be that easy to find one like that.

Obviously there would be people from school that fulfilled these criteria, but Lu Wu wouldn’t have the chance.

Since most of them who came from a rich family and had the dreams of becoming a summoner wouldn’t have much problems getting accepted into the special classes.

If there’s anyone like this who hadn’t been accepted into the special classes, it would most probably be because their summoned beasts were a piece of earth-shattering rubbish.

Even if it’s Lu Wu’s Skeleton, if it belonged to someone who’s loaded, you could still make it into the special classes by dumping in about two million yuan and there weren’t many summoned beasts that were worse than Skeleton.

Therefore, most of the candidates that fulfilled the requirement of being a rich girl would most probably be in the special classes.

This problem made his head spin.

After a while, a thought came into Lu Wu’s mind, “That lady, Ye Qingxue, once said that ‘Since you can’t even defeat the students of the normal class, you are no longer qualified to be in my class’, why don’t I try beating someone up from the special classes?”
