Skeleton’s Training Manual

Chapter 51: 051 Research failed

At Li Kai’s store.

Hao Zhijian, who now had superiority complex, pushed open the door of the studio and exclaimed, “Lu Wu, let’s fight one on one!”

Lu Wu and Li Kai, who were busy, glared at him. “Get out!”

“Okay, okay!”

The egotistical Hao Zhijian trembled all over and ducked his head. Then, he obediently went out and dutifully closed the door.

Just like that, the first time Hao Zhijian mustered the courage to challenge Lu Wu in a one-on-one fight ended prematurely.

On the other hand, in the studio.

After Lu Wu and Li Kai drove Hao Zhijian out, the two continued to work.

To be precise, it was Lu Wu who was working, while Li Kai was just assisting him.

And what Lu Wu was busy with at this instance was the summon beast’s equipment that he had been researching on for the past month.

In the past month, Lu Wu had been frantically searching for information about equipment for summoned beasts.

But Lu Wu was disappointed to find that although he had worked hard for an entire month, he did not manage to gather much information due to lack of channels.

He could find almost no relevant information. After an entire month, he only learned some very basic knowledge.

But this basic information was not entirely useless.

As far as Lu Wu knew, the equipment for the summoned beasts could be roughly divided into two types.

One was companion equipment, and the other was non-companion equipment.

The former was like Skeleton’s rechargeable baseball bat, which was transformed through summoned beasts’ quality enhancement. This equipment could only be used by Skeleton, so it could be considered as an exclusive equipment.

The latter type encompassed a wide range of equipment.

Some were obtained from secret realms, some were accidentally created by summoned beast trainers, some were mutated due to the environment, and some were transformed from ancient weapons and items.

But no matter which source it was obtained, such type of equipment was not commonly seen on the market, and neither was it in great demand.

Because this kind of non-companion equipment had many limitations, and even the few pieces of such equipment in Li Kai’s shop were only used as decorations, as not one of them had been sold since they were placed on the shelves more than half a year ago.

In contrast, companion equipment, or more precisely the business of producing companion equipment, was quite popular.

On one hand, the companion equipment had a certain potential for growth, and more importantly, the National High School League allowed the use of companion equipment. This one reason was enough to generate a huge market for companion equipment.

As far as Lu Wu knew, the price of producing a piece of companion equipment ranged from hundreds of thousands to several millions.

What’s more, this price was on the grounds that the success of producing the equipment and the outcome of attributes and functions of the companion equipment were all uncertain.

Don’t even find this expensive! After all, this is the only way that anyone can get cheats legally!

And oh, by the way, Lu Wu got this information from Hao Renjie, who was planning to give money to Li Kai, or more precisely to Lu Wu.

After Lu Wu heard this, his mood was particularly complicated.

On one hand, he was lamenting on the madness of the world of the riches. On the other hand, he deeply understood just how much money it required to be a summoner, and he also understood a little about why Ye Qingxue gave up on him after knowing that he did not have a wealthy background. At the same time, he could not help but look down on Li Kai.

As the owner of a summoner’s grocery shop, how could he not know such a good way to make money?

Knowing this, Lu Wu also wanted a piece of the action. Getting paid a few million dollars regardless of success or failure, if he could start such a profitable business, it wouldn’t take long for him to complete many of his small goals.

This was why Lu Wu had been frantically researching about companion equipment in the past month.

But the production of such companion equipment was really not an easy task.

This was especially true for Lu Wu, who had no relevant knowledge about this. To start with the research, he could only rely on the successful case of [Skeleton’s Rechargeable Baseball Bat] which was obtained only by chance.

With just one case study that he could investigate, you could imagine the level of difficulty Lu Wu was facing.

Since the past month, Lu Wu had been putting a painstaking amount of effort into his experimentation.

Every experiment would cost at least tens of thousands of yuan.

After one month of experimentation, he did not successfully produce even a single piece of companion equipment, but he had already spent one or two million.

You could imagine how Lu Wu must be feeling right now.

Under such circumstances, Hao Zhijian still dared to provoke him. Wasn’t he seeking death?

If it weren’t that Lu Wu was in the final and most critical stage of his experimentation, with what Hao Zhijian had just said, Lu Wu would have beaten him up until he cried.

Twenty minutes after driving Hao Zhijian out, Lu Wu and Li Kai finally finished their work.

Well, the two of them had boiled another pot of soup.

Don’t be fooled by the appearance of this pitch-black soup right in front of them, which was exuding waves of pungent smell that even Tuan Tuan avoided as if the soup was made of venomous snake and scorpion. This soup was actually the fruit of Lu Wu’s hard work in the past month.

“At present, I have studied all aspects that I can find about the companion equipment. According to the existing information, it is speculated that the formation of companion equipment should be related to the emotions of the summoner, and it is best if there is a kind of bond between the summoned beast and the item. In other words, it is necessary for the summon beast to like that item for it to be advanced. To satisfy this criteria, I have changed Skeleton’s equipment several times, and the flying knife was replaced with a flying needle, until it was satisfied. ”

“In addition, I have also made modifications on the Skeleton’s soup by refining the last program, and further strengthened it.”

“I can say that what I’m doing right now is already the best that I can currently achieve. This try will be my best chance to succeed. If it fails again, it will just mean that my current knowledge pool on this field is indeed lacking a lot. In this case, I can only temporarily give up the experimentations on companion equipment.”

“Mr. Lu, you’ll definitely succeed!”

In contrast to Lu Wu’s anxiety, Li Kai had blind faith in Lu Wu. Lu Wu didn’t know how on earth could he be so confident!

“I hope so!”

After taking a deep breath, Lu Wu drove the heavily equipped Skeleton into the soup.

Then, Lu Wu and Li Kai started a long and tense wait, which lasted for three whole hours.

Three hours later, Skeleton came out of the soup.

As soon as Skeleton came out, Lu Wu immediately rushed to check all the equipment on Skeleton one by one.

Baseball bat, completely the same.

Flying needle, completely the same.

Cloak, completely the same.

Shoes, completely the same.

Leather armour, completely the same.

In other words, the past month of hard work and the nearly two million yuan spent on the experiments were all in vain.

Even though Lu Wu had expected this result before the experiment, when this result came out, Lu Wu’s mood was still a bit down.

“Seems like I could only put off the companion equipment until I have passed the professional assessment, after which I will have more channels for acquiring knowledge.”

After Lu Wu calmed himself down as much as possible, without any hesitation, he opened the door of the studio and grabbed Hao Zhijian who was giggling foolishly at his bird outside.

“Didn’t you say that you want a one-on-one fight? Let’s go!”

After Lu Wu finished speaking, he directly dragged away Hao Zhijian, who was bewildered by such sudden change of events!
