My starting summon is a small skeleton-Chapter 100 - 099 Rushing the Charts
December 19
Quan City, next to the leaderboard at the entrance of the Underground Cave Secret Realm.
Many people had come early in the morning to find a spot to sit nearby.
They were all here to witness history being made, because they knew that today, someone was going to challenge for the top spot on the leaderboard.
And the challenger was a particularly beautiful girl, which of course piqued the interest of the crowd!
Amidst the onlookers, long legs haughtily swayed her ponytail as Hengheng Monster made her grand entrance with her Summoned Beast.

It must be said, despite the slew of messy nicknames Lu Wu had given this girl,
she was indeed beautiful and had a special aura about her; her appearance captured everyone’s attention.
Hengheng Monster disliked this kind of atmosphere and these kinds of gazes, her face remaining stern, and when she saw Lu Wu under such scrutiny, she tossed her ponytail even more haughtily with a disdainful snort.
At that moment, Lu Wu was displeased.
’What’s with the attitude, think you’re so pretty? My wife isn’t slim yet, but when she is, she’ll be much more beautiful than you!’
Well, even though he grumbled internally, his gaze never left her as he watched Hengheng Monster with the long legs and ponytail step into the Secret Realm.
What Lu Wu didn’t notice was that, by his side, Dudu had already devoured several buns at that time.
She was eating ferociously!
Yep, these past few days, Dudu’s appetite had only grown.
But for some reason, no matter how hard she tried, she just couldn’t slim down.
Moreover, her weight seemed to have solidified, stubbornly sticking around 180, neither going up nor down.
This really frustrated both Dudu and Lu Wu.
Their worries were different though; Dudu was purely anxious, especially seeing Hengheng Monster, which always made her increase her eating speed without saying a word.
Being not so clever, she could think of no other solution. This was her only idea.
However, it was ineffective, and she often ended up working herself into a frenzy.
While eating, she would often end up with red-rimmed eyes, and without letting Lu Wu notice, she’d secretly wipe away her tears each time.
This time was no different; she had tried so hard, having already eaten a hundred buns since morning, but still felt it wasn’t enough, she wasn’t satisfied, and the feeling needed to trigger the "Skill" was nowhere to be found.
Seeing Lu Wu’s gaze following the long legs, Dudu got even more anxious and refrained from saying anything, so she just kept eating while her eyes reddened again.
All she could do was lower her head, quietly wiping away her tears while stuffing buns into her mouth.
Just when the poor girl was feeling all miserable, a pair of hands reached out and cradled her face.
The slow-reacting Lu Wu finally noticed Dudu crying, witnessing her tear-filled eyes. Being smart, he instantly guessed why the girl was crying.
"Crying, huh? Are you anxious because you can’t slim down? Don’t worry, I’m here, I promise I’ll help you slim down!
When our Dudu slims down, she’ll be a thousand, no, ten thousand times prettier than that Hengheng Monster!"
Clearly, Lu Wu had not grasped the real reason for Dudu’s tears.
But no matter what, the fact that he cradled her head and helped her wipe her tears meant a lot to Dudu.
Her mind went completely blank, and the tears just wouldn’t stop flowing.
Obviously, these were different from the tears she shed earlier, but Lu Wu, with his playboy heart yet poor emotional intelligence, couldn’t understand the difference. He was just overwhelmed seeing Dudu’s unstoppable tears.
After a flurry of panicked actions, he gritted his teeth and took out the "Divine Origin Fruit" he always carried, handing it to Dudu.
"How about you eat this, then? I’ve been focusing on training Little Skeleton lately and don’t really need a second Summoned Beast. If you eat it, maybe you’ll finally slim down!"
Actually, Lu Wu had been pondering for some time whether Dudu’s inability to gain weight was because of that one apple before?
He felt that Dudu couldn’t activate her skill because she lacked sufficient energy.
And the accumulation of energy wasn’t something that could be solved by eating alone, or at least not by eating ordinary food.
Previously, Dudu had activated her skill, likely because of that one apple.
Or rather, it was the energy of the apple, and now that she didn’t have that, she naturally couldn’t slim down.
In that case, to get Dudu to slim down, she would have to eat a similar apple.
Lu Wu didn’t have similar apples, but he did have a Divine Origin Fruit.
Seeing Dudu cry so fiercely, Lu Wu had no choice but to bring out the Divine Origin Fruit.
Little did he know that once he took it out, Dudu cried even more fiercely.
Lu Wu was truly at a loss and could only hold the girl gently, stroking her head.
This scene was witnessed by the people around them.
They didn’t think much of it, as they were just bystanders, and at most felt that Lu Wu and Dudu didn’t quite match in appearance, but it must be true love to behave like this!
What was fatal was that Little Skeleton also saw this.
When it saw Dudu’s Lu Wu crying, and then her Lu Wu holding her and stroking her head,
In that moment, Little Skeleton felt as if a door to a New World had opened.
So crying gets you hugs!
Little Skeleton was extraordinarily excited!
Its Pupil Fire shimmered, as it brainstormed how to get hugs through crying.
Lu Wu, completely unaware of his Little Skeleton’s thoughts, did know what Tuantuan was thinking.
Tuantuan: "Angry (Why are you two squeezing me in the middle? Trying to suffocate a pig?)"
In the midst of the pig’s frantic wiggling, Lu Wu could only helplessly let go of Dudu.
And when Lu Wu let go of Dudu, the wiggling Tuantuan suddenly stiffened.
For some reason, it suddenly felt like its owner had the delusion of turning it into a roast suckling pig.
Hmm, it must be false, Tuantuan’s owner is so gentle, so loving towards Tuantuan, he surely wouldn’t eat Tuantuan!
Whether Dudu would eat the pig was unclear, but she would not eat the Divine Origin Fruit.
She clearly knew the value of this thing, so once her emotions stabilized after Lu Wu handed it to her, she gave the Divine Origin Fruit back to Lu Wu.
Though usually very obedient towards Lu Wu, Dudu was quite firm and had a strong stance on this matter.
Not eating means not eating!
Unable to do otherwise, Lu Wu could only take the Divine Origin Fruit back.
After that, Lu Wu, uncharacteristically not studying, sat next to Dudu, pulling her hand while waiting for the Hengheng Monster to climb the rankings and speaking quietly to Dudu.
It was a rare moment of relaxation.
Two hours later, the doors of the Secret Realm opened, and the slightly disheveled Hengheng Monster came out.
The first thing she did was to check the leaderboard near the gate of the Secret Realm to confirm that Ye Ruhuo was already in first place, then turned to Lu Wu and proudly snorted.
Just as she was about to run off after her usual snort, Lu Wu, who had rested for two hours, stood up and stopped her.
"Hengheng Monster, are you going to claim your award? Wait for me, let’s go together in a moment!"
Saying that, without waiting for the ’Hengheng Monster’ to respond, Lu Wu stood up, taking Little Skeleton with him as he walked into the Secret Realm…
