Time flew by quickly.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Wu had been transported for six days.
These six days had been particularly fulfilling for Lu Wu, and the harvest was not small.
In terms of book consumption.
Regarding cultural studies.
He had successfully devoured the textbooks for grade one and grade two.
With his photographic memory, he had memorized the necessary content, and his proficiency had improved accordingly.
Although he might not reach the level of certain academic masters, he should at least be at the upper average level. If he further digested the material, scoring well shouldn't be too difficult.
As for summoning.
In the past five or six days, he had almost stayed in the library until eight or nine in the evening before heading back.
He didn't spend four to five hours each day in vain; in these five or six days, Lu Wu had read dozens of related books.
Among these books, apart from the introductory ones and some miscellaneous books like "On the Possibility of Summoning Cat-Eared Beast Girl," the rest were mostly encyclopedic and general knowledge about summoned beasts.
For example, "Introduction to 100 Common Summoned Beasts," "Introduction to the Advanced Paths of 100 Common Summoned Beasts," "Training Methods of Common Undead Summoned Beasts,"
"Introduction to 200 Summoned Beast Related Materials," "Introduction to Beginner's Secret Realm," and so on...
What Lu Wu had been reading these days were basically these things.
Of course, if he had a choice, Lu Wu wouldn't want to read these.
He wanted to read books related to "Summon Beast Cultivator"; he now knew that this thing was a perfect match with his Golden Finger!
But unfortunately, the high school didn't teach this course, and their library didn't have such books.
There was no way around it, so Lu Wu could only rely on the introduction he found in books and online that "knowledge is the most powerful weapon for a Summon Beast Cultivator."
Starting from these most basic contents, he first enriched his knowledge base before considering other things.
Facts proved that Lu Wu's approach was correct.
The effect of this approach quickly showed up in his Golden Finger.
With the books he had devoured in the past few days, Lu Wu had made several modifications to the quality improvement plan for Little Skeleton. The plan had now been revised to version 2.0.
However, when talking about this plan, Lu Wu became quite angry.
In the past few days, he had been harshly criticized by the system for this plan.
Something like "Look at this plan, thank goodness, your IQ has finally grown. It seems to be at the level of a three-and-a-half-year-old, but unfortunately, your plan isn't much different from the previous version, modification failed."
"Oh, is this all you've got? Can't you show a bit of innovation? Can't you put some effort into absorption?"
"Are you sure this plan wasn't inspired by your childhood friend, the Summoned Pig? It smells of wisdom! With such wisdom, the system sincerely suggests you put more effort into energy absorption."
......
Lu Wu had proposed a total of five modifications, and he was mocked by the system five times, rejected three times, and it took him five days to turn version 1.0 into version 2.0.
Lu Wu's little heart almost exploded because of this damned system.
But Lu Wu had to admit that although the system was quite harsh, it wasn't just harsh.
Besides the sarcasm, it also gave some suggestions for modifying the plan.
It was precisely with the system's suggestions and the books he had devoured in the past few days that Lu Wu managed to perfect version 2.0.
...
Quality Improvement Plan: Little Skeleton's Training Manual 2.0
Specific Steps: 10000 grams of beef bone powder, 20000 grams of cow blood. First, mix the beef bone powder with an appropriate amount of water, heat, and simmer to make a broth. After boiling, turn off the heat, put Little Skeleton and the cow blood into the broth, cover and let it simmer for an hour. After that, perform three to five hours of exercise.
Plan Effect: Each session significantly increases Little Skeleton's bone strength and flexibility, enhances its bone coordination ability, and improves its foundation.
Time Required for Quality Upgrade: 5 sessions (each session interval of 6 to 10 days, estimated total time of 30 to 50 days)
...
Yes, this was Little Skeleton's Training Manual version 2.0.
Once this version came out, all the sarcasm Lu Wu had endured in the past few days, all the blows he had suffered, immediately dissipated with the wind.
Lu Wu's mood couldn't have been better at this moment.
After all, although he had previously had confidence in his future because of the cheats, that kind of confidence could be considered blind, as he hadn't truly seen hope. It wasn't until today that he truly saw hope.
According to this method, he only needed just over a month to achieve a quality boost for Little Skeleton.
Although the quality boost from "Ordinary (Inferior)" would just be to "Ordinary," theoretically only barely catching up to Pang Duddu's pig, but Lu Wu was confident. With such a good start, he would certainly be able to cultivate Little Skeleton well.
To upgrade Little Skeleton's quality to "Black Iron," "Bronze," or even "Silver," "Gold"...
Of course, "Silver," "Gold" were quite far off, and Lu Wu wasn't thinking about that at the moment.
He was just thinking about whether he could upgrade Little Skeleton's quality to "Black Iron," and its power to 2-star or 3-star before the league started.
Lu Wu believed that as long as he could reach this level, getting into Summoner University would be a certainty.
Hmm, the high school league started in the second semester of their senior year, and there were still more than half a year to go. With his powerful cheats, Lu Wu believed it shouldn't be difficult for him to achieve this.
Of course, this was Lu Wu's thought, who hadn't yet been hit by harsh reality.
Soon, the cold reality smacked Lu Wu in the face again.
Lu Wu found that although his 2.0 version plan was great, there was one thing that wasn't so great, which was that this plan didn't seem to say where he was supposed to get the money for the materials.
He calculated that Little Skeleton's advancement required 50000 grams of beef bone powder and 100000 grams of cow blood. Water didn't need to be counted; just the main ingredients.
Lu Wu knew that in this world, beef bone's market price was 35 yuan per pound and cow blood was 15 yuan per pound.
Fifty pounds of beef bone powder plus a hundred pounds of cow blood would cost 3250 yuan. Adding other equipment, advancing Little Skeleton to a higher level would cost at least 4000 yuan.
Although 4000 yuan to upgrade the quality of a summoned beast was quite cheap.
The problem was Lu Wu didn't have the money!
His predecessor left him only a couple of hundred yuan, which meant he was short by more than three thousand yuan.
Of course, he could ask his family for that three thousand yuan, but he couldn't bring himself to ask.
Due to being a time traveler, although he had accepted his predecessor's memories, there was still a thin layer of separation between him and his predecessor's family, making it difficult for Lu Wu to ask his family for the money.
This troubled Lu Wu greatly.
But that wasn't the biggest headache for Lu Wu...
