Last but not least.
Lu Wu took Pang Tutu to the cafeteria.
Using the BUFF of “average-looking face”, he asked the helper at the cafeteria to help them warm up the food. Then, the two of them finished up the two bentoes prepared by Pang Tutu.
After eating, Lu Wu couldn’t help but give Pang Tutu a poke at the back of her head again.
Pang Tutu didn’t know where Lu Wu’s sudden anger came from and what it meant, but this did not stop her from feeling happy.
On the way back, she kept smiling like a silly girl.
Lu Wu also didn’t know what she was so happy about.
At least, he didn’t feel happy at all.
He believed this might be the most expensive meal in his life.
Because when he was eating the bento, he secretly made up his mind that he had to help this girl as much as he could. He should at least do his best in helping her enter the special class, and perhaps bring her along to the summoner’s universities.
It was not because of how delicious Pang Tutu’s bento was. The bento was just a trigger for Lu Wu’s decision.
After all, Lu Wu was not like his predecessor.
He was not a scumbag, and he could not contentedly accept other people’s kindness with no qualms of conscience.
Although because of his predecessor’s memory, he had been very accustomed to Pang Tutu’s presence and her accommodation towards him during these days.
He didn’t even think there was anything wrong, until he saw the bento.
He realized that this girl got up early in the morning to make him a bento just because of his casual words yesterday, and starved herself for an entire day just to eat with him. So Lu Wu’s mood became very complicated.
In addition, there was a sudden burst of his predecessor’s memory about Pang Tutu, which forced Lu Wu to recall all the bullying and oppression of Pang Tutu by his predecessor.
Lu Wu couldn’t help but feel sorry for this girl, which made him want to do something for her.
After much deliberation, Lu Wu believed that the only thing he could do was to help this girl on the path of becoming a professional summoner.
This was one of the only two things that Lu Wu could do!
Well, there was definitely another way to repay this girl!
Lu Wu took a look at Pang Tutu who hadn’t lost weight. Although she was cute, she wasn’t sexy at all and was absolutely not the type that Lu Wu liked, so he should forget about this way of repaying her.
“In other words, I have a heavier workload now. Not only do I have to work hard for myself, but I also have to help this girl. The challenge is huge!”
The thought of having to train both his Skeleton and Pang Tutu’s piglet to the level of Snowman within a year gave Lu Wu a headache.
But despite his headache, this was something he had to do.
‘Let the challenge come! I had been intending to train her as a candidate for my team anyway!’
‘Oh yes, since I have decided to train this girl, it should be fine for me to spend some of her money, right?’
‘Well, it would be easier for me to pull her up when I become stronger. If I don’t become stronger first, how could I help her improve?’
Pondering on this for a while, Lu Wu felt that this logic was absolutely flawless.
So he immediately stopped Pang Tutu who was still happily following behind.
“Do you have money? Lend me some!”
Asking to borrow money was something that could hurt feelings and would easily get rejected.
But how could Pang Tutu refuse Lu Wu?
Therefore, in less than a few minutes, Lu Wu’s account gained an extra 1,000 yuan.
Well, this was the only money that Pang Tutu had, and it was all taken by Lu Wu.
This silly girl was not at all aware that she might have been cheated of money. She didn’t even know what Lu Wu wanted the money for, but when Lu Wu said that this money was still not really enough, she started to ponder if she should sell her collection after going back home to make some more money for Lu Wu.
Thankfully Lu Wu was someone who had some conscience. After he said that the money was more or less enough, this girl suppressed this idea.
After getting the money from Pang Tutu, Lu Wu went to the wet market immediately.
He bought 10,000 grams of beef bones and 20,000 grams of beef blood. When buying this, Lu Wu realized that he had made a calculation error previously.
10,000 grams equals to 20 catties which meant 700 yuan, and 20,000 equals to 40 catties which required 600 yuan, which meant that the first batch of materials would already cost 1,300 yuan.
All of a sudden, he almost used up all his wealth that he had just gained.
This was not the most serious problem. The most serious problem was that the training cost when using [Skeleton’s Training Manual 2.0] had been directly doubled. He originally thought he needed just around 4,000, but now he realised he needed 8,000 yuan.
Lu Wu’s brain buzzed and hurt for a while.
“Forget it, everything will work out when the time comes. I should go back and try out its effects first.”
Putting money matters aside, in order to save some delivery fees, Lu Wu asked Pang Tutu for help, and the two of them carried all those stuff all the way home.
On the way, Lu Wu couldn’t help turning back and glaring at Skeleton who followed beside him.
His eyes were filled with sulky resentment!
All these bags they were carrying were all meant for it. Not to mention that it couldn’t carry a single bag by itself, it even walked much slower than the two of them who were carrying all these heavy loads, so they had to slow down to wait for Skeleton to catch up.
“Let’s hope this version 2.0 would work, or I’ll cook you directly and feed you to the dog!”
…
With the help of Pang Tutu, Lu Wu spent a whole hour carrying all 60 kilograms of bones and blood home.
Lee Ruyu opened the door and when she saw the ragged appearance of the two of them, she quickly helped them take off the bags.
“What’s the matter? What are these things?”
“Some materials. We’re fine, just leave us with it!”
Lu Wu avoided Lee Ruyu who was trying to help, and called Pang Tutu to help him move the things into his room.
As soon as the things were placed, Lu Wu started to drive her away.
“Just leave the stuff here. Go back first, I will contact you tomorrow!”
“Okay!”
Pang Tutu was actually very curious about what Lu Wu was going to do with these things, and she really wanted to stay and have a look.
But she didn’t dare to ask. Since Lu Wu asked her to go back, she went home obediently.
After sending away Pang Tutu, Lu Wu spent a long time getting mentally prepared before he came out to find Lee Ruyu.
“Mom, do we have any large bucket and pot that can cook 20 catties of stuff at a time?”
“Yes. Take care of Nini, I’ll get it for you!”
This was the first time Lu Wu called his mother in the past few days. Lee Ruyu was very excited and left her daughter under Lu Wu’s care. After a while, she brought in a big pot and a bucket from the outside.
It was very obvious that she had just bought them.
“Lulu, do you need anything else?”
“No need!”
“Then, do you need mom’s help?”
Lu Wu could tell that Lee Ruyu really wanted to do something for him, but Lu Wu still shook his head. “No, just take care of Nini, I can do it myself!”
After saying this, Lu Wu got busy.
Fortunately, the pot Lee Ruyu bought was large enough to allow Lu Wu to pour in 20 kilograms of beef bone meal all at once. After adding some water, it took almost an hour for the stew to boil.
Then he brought the beef bone soup into his room and poured it into the bucket. He placed Skeleton and the beef blood into it, and then closed the lid.
“Hmm, that should be it. I’ll just wait a few hours for the results to come out!”
