Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

In Lu Wu’s room.

After eating, Lu Wu hid in his room and studied for three hours. Finally, he caught a glimmer of inspiration and came up with a wonderful idea on the optimization of the skill training program.

Lu Wu was overjoyed and quickly seized the flash of inspiration. He got up and pressed his hand on the head of Skeleton, who was holding Lu Wu’s phone and watching TV wearing headphones.

Calling out the attributes board, he scrolled to the skills column, and skilfully opened the skill training program for [Charge] which had been optimized to version 5.0. He then opened the page for program modification and started getting busy.

Skeleton had been very used to this kind of situation.

It just turned its head and glanced at Lu Wu, who was busy at its side. Its pupil fire swayed for a while, then it turned back to continue watching Peppa pig on Lu Wu’s phone. This was Skeleton’s only entertainment every day, and it was the activity that Skeleton was most obsessed with.

On Lu Wu’s side, after he grasped the gleam of inspiration, it took him only half an hour to convert the inspiration into a concrete plan.

With this gleam of inspiration, the training program for [Charge] was optimized to version 6.0.

[Ding, [Charge Training Program version 6.0] optimization successful, do you want to check it? ]

 “Yes!”

Lu Wu nodded without hesitation, then the page of the skill training program appeared in front of Lu Wu.

　　…

Training Program: Charge Training Program version 6.0

Program Optimization: Compared with version 5.0, version 6.0 has optimized the effectiveness of charge skill training to a certain extent.

It greatly optimized the effect of charge, and increased the strength accumulation during charging and explosive power after charging.

Comment: The charge skill has been modified to a certain extent. The modification adds explosive power to the skill that was originally meant for advancing. The explosive power can be improved with proper training, but the disadvantage is that agility is reduced.

It is recommended that the skill can be used in conjunction with skills such as [The Magnificent Strike] and [Heavy Chop] to maximize the effect of the charge.

Ps: It’s a rather good training program, at least much better than the other programs you’ve submitted before.

For the next revisions of this training program, he would continue to focus on energy accumulation and explosion. He would continue to work hard to become the boy who could beat up the lucky one!

　　…

Looking at this 6.0 version of the training program, Lu Wu was particularly satisfied.

Although he hadn’t tried out the effect of this training program, and did not know if the power of the skill was sufficient to defeat the Piglet without the cooperation of skills such as [The Magnificent Strike] and [Heavy Chop], at least Lu Wu knew that his direction was correct.

Following this program, the combat effectiveness of Skeleton would definitely spike!

“Looks good, at least my hard work during this period has not been wasted! With the experience of optimizing [Charge], the obstacles for the remaining two skills will be much easier to overcome. I’m confident that I can complete the optimization of those two skills within a week. With another week of training, Skeleton will have three optimized skills, and it’ll definitely be able to fight with that pig.”

Of course, this was on the basis that the pig’s comradeship skill had not been activated.

But it did not matter whether it was activated or not. In another one to two weeks, the quality enhancement program of Skeleton should also come out, and then the strength of Skeleton would be improved again.

Lu Wu was still very confident in himself about catching up with Tutu before the league.

After completing the program optimization, Lu Wu, who was in a good mood, watched TV with Skeleton for a while.

Well, when it comes to the habit of watching TV, Lu Wu learnt it from Tutu.

Every day, she would cuddle her pig and sit in front of the TV chasing her favourite drama. Since Lu Wu felt that this might be a way to increase intimacy with the summoned beast, so he learned to use it.

After learning this method, Lu Wu did not know whether his intimacy with Skeleton had been improved, but he found that ever since he let Skeleton watch TV, its brain seemed to be getting brighter day by day.

Before it started watching TV, if Lu Wu hadn’t given it an order, it would stand there stupidly like a fake skeleton.

Nowadays, it would do some small gestures from time to time, and sometimes it even imitated some actions on the TV. Although the effects of these actions were generally hilarious rather than useful, it did make Lu Wu feel that Skeleton was a lot smarter.

So, the habit of watching TV was one of the few habits that Lu Wu learned from Tutu and continued doing.

When Lu Wu finished his work every night, he even accompanied Skeleton to watch TV for a while. At this time, Lu Wu always felt that his intimacy with Skeleton should be climbing ‘+1’, which always made him feel that he and Skeleton were going to be BFF soon. But Lu Wu had no evidence.

After all, there was no intimacy column on the attributes page, and since Skeleton could not speak, Lu Wu could only rely on his feelings for things like intimacy.

Although he felt that feelings could fool people sometimes, Lu Wu believed that as long as he kept watching TV with Skeleton, he and Skeleton would get intimate sooner or later.

Well, this was what Lu Wu had thought before today, but tonight, Lu Wu started to have doubts about this.

This was what happened.

After Lu Wu spent some time watching TV with Skeleton until 1 am, he remembered that he had to go to school tomorrow, so Lu Wu went to sleep, leaving Skeleton to watch TV alone.

This was something really normal, because Skeleton didn’t need to sleep. It could watch all the way until dawn by itself.

The problem was that when it was watching TV tonight, it saw a scene of the hero helping the heroine to pull up the quilt.

Skeleton was dumbstruck at that time, his pupil fires jumped for a while, then it turned his head and glanced at Lu Wu who was sleeping over there. Coincidentally, Lu Wu had also thrown back his quilt.

Seeing this, Skeleton hurried over to help Lu Wu pull up his quilt.

Although Skeleton didn’t actually understand why he would need to help Lu Wu pull up the quilt and was simply imitating, but after he did it, Skeleton felt as if he had done something really extraordinary, which made Skeleton’s pupil fire to sway for a while.

But at this time, Lu Wu kicked the quilt away again.

Although Skeleton felt confused as this did not follow the plot on TV, it helped Lu Wu pull up the quilt again, but within two minutes, Lu Wu kicked it away again.

Then it became a tug of war.

Lu Wu kicked the quilt away, and Skeleton pulled it up, going back and forth numerous times. But after several times, Skeleton became a little unhappy.

It was not like this on TV. There must be something wrong.

Skeleton started thinking about it, and soon the results came out. It felt that the problem here should be with the quilt, as the quilt was not well-behaved. It should do the job if he tied up the quilt.

Yes, that’s it!

Skeleton felt that it was so clever!

It happened that there was a bundle of rope in Lu Wu’s room, so Skeleton picked up the rope and walked to Lu Wu’s bed.

But Skeleton had never learned this. Standing beside Lu Wu’s bed, it held up the rope and made a handful of gestures. But during this process, it accidentally gestured onto Lu Wu’s neck. At this moment, Lu Wu who had been disturbed also opened his eyes…
