5: Chapter 5 Calcium Supplementation Training?

After seeing Zhou Yi off, Jiang Nan returned home with the Little Skeleton.

Jiang Nan lived in a small two-story villa on the outskirts of Yun City. Since his foster mother passed away, only he and his foster sister, Bai Mengyun, were left at home.

Because Bai Mengyun was busy with work on weekdays, Jiang Nan lived in this small villa alone for most of the year.

"I'm home!"

Pushing open the door, Jiang Nan walked into the living room with the Little Skeleton.

On the wall of the living room hung a black-and-white photograph of a gentle and loving middle-aged woman.

Jiang Nan walked up to the woman in the photo and bowed devoutly, then headed toward his own bedroom not far away.

"Ya~"

Seeing Jiang Nan's actions, the Little Skeleton following by his side mimicked him and bowed to the photo, then followed closely in his footsteps into the bedroom.

[Host has not checked in today. Would you like to check in?]

"Check in!"

[Check-in successful! Location: Yun City outskirts villa · Bedroom. Check-in rating: A. Received 100 points.]

[Check-in evaluation: The host remains calm and collected despite being in the Truman Show. An A-grade rating is the system's high praise for your composure!]

"The Truman Show? You're acting crazy again... But keep the A-grade ratings coming, I like them!"

Jiang Nan seemed to have adapted to the system's random outbursts and didn't take the check-in evaluation to heart.

He was now preoccupied with whether the system's Spirit Pet cultivation simplification function was reliable, and he also didn't know what this function was actually for.

"System, what exactly is the function of your Spirit Pet cultivation simplification?"

[The function is simple: it simplifies the cultivation process for Beast Tamers and their Spirit Pets.]

"For example?"

[For instance, the conventional method to increase the Little Skeleton's cultivation speed is to absorb Spirit Crystals or Dark-attribute crystals. However, the system can simplify this method, making the Little Skeleton's cultivation method less cumbersome and increasing its cultivation speed!]

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nan's pupils constricted, and his breathing became somewhat rapid.

As everyone knew, being a Beast Tamer was an extremely expensive profession. The most common way to increase a Spirit Pet's cultivation speed was to throw money at it.

If the system could truly simplify this process, for a broke Beast Tamer like Jiang Nan, it would be equivalent to saving a fortune!

The only thing he was nervous about now was to what extent the system could simplify the Spirit Pet's cultivation method.

"System, can you simplify the Little Skeleton's cultivation now?"

[Please specify the direction of simplification, for example: simplify cultivation speed, simplify cultivation physique, simplify cultivation of the soul...]

"Simplify cultivation speed!"

[Inquiry received. Deducing a simplification plan for the Little Skeleton's cultivation speed... Deduction successful!]

[The optimal simplification plan is as follows: Calcium supplementation.]

[System evaluation: Detected that your Spirit Pet, the Little Skeleton, suffers from osteoporosis, bone fractures, brittle joints, joint dislocation, and other bone ailments. To ensure the physical and mental health of your Spirit Pet, please supplement it with large amounts of calcium in a timely manner!]

"???"

Seeing the plan provided by the system, Jiang Nan was completely bewildered.

The method to make the Little Skeleton cultivate quickly is calcium supplementation? Is the system crazy, or is he crazy?

"Damn! I knew you were completely unreliable!"

Jiang Nan cursed under his breath, feeling somewhat defeated.

[Please do not question the system's professionalism!]

"Giving the Little Skeleton calcium can speed up its cultivation? If this method actually works, I'll perform a handstand while washing my hair right here on the spot!"

Jiang Nan was flushed with anger, but anger aside, he still had to try the plan provided by the system.

Because the college entrance exam was approaching, Bai Mengyun had sent him quite a few supplements a while ago. Although he hadn't taken them, he vaguely remembered there were a few bottles of calcium tablets among them.

Jiang Nan walked to the wardrobe, dumped a large bag of nutritional supplies onto the bed, and found three plastic bottles labeled [Shark Brand High-Quality Calcium Tablets].

Looking at the calcium tablets in his hand, then at the Little Skeleton sitting in front of the mirror grooming itself with a file, a sense of absurdity rose in Jiang Nan's heart.

"Little Skeleton, take this and eat it, then feel the changes in your body."

Jiang Nan opened the bottle, poured the calcium tablets out, and placed them in the Little Skeleton's hand.

"Ya?"

The Little Skeleton tilted her head in surprise. She pointed her index finger at her hollow throat, her expression as if saying: Are you kidding me?

Jiang Nan felt embarrassed by that look and turned his head away, blushing.

"Ahem, this is good stuff. It can speed up your cultivation. Eat it!"

"Ya~"

The Little Skeleton nodded suspiciously. Sensing her Master's serious mood, she popped the two calcium tablets in her hand into her mouth.

A miraculous thing happened: after the two calcium tablets were swallowed into the Little Skeleton's stomach, they mysteriously vanished.

Jiang Nan widened his eyes, filled with disbelief.

It was clearly a skeleton made of white bone, yet it could eat normally. The things she ate didn't fall out of her stomach; instead, they were completely digested... This was simply unscientific!

[The Little Skeleton absorbed high-quality calcium. Bone density improved. EXP +10.]

"She actually ate the calcium tablets!?"

[Please do not question the system's capabilities.]

Ignoring the system's arrogance, Jiang Nan rolled his eyes and pulled a piece of candy from his bag.

"Little Skeleton, try this!"

"Ya~"

The Little Skeleton nodded and swallowed the candy in one gulp.

This time, Jiang Nan finally saw it clearly: the moment the candy was swallowed, a faint, barely perceptible ghostly blue flame ignited in the Little Skeleton's lower abdomen.

This flame was exactly the same as the one in the Little Skeleton's eye sockets; it was what helped the Little Skeleton digest the food it had eaten.

"So that's it. This flame can help the Little Skeleton digest food..."

"Do all members of the Undead Race have this ability, or is it only the Little Skeleton?"

Jiang Nan felt puzzled. However, in this world, aside from him, no one else had the free time to feed a skeleton, so he was afraid it would be difficult for anyone to give him an answer to this question.

Opening the Little Skeleton's attribute panel again, Jiang Nan's gaze turned to the strength column.

It was still Bronze 1-Star, but the EXP points behind it had increased by ten, reaching twenty-three.

It required two hundred EXP points to advance from Bronze 1-Star to Bronze 2-Star. The Little Skeleton had just consumed two calcium tablets, and there were one hundred tablets in the bottle.

In other words, finishing one bottle of calcium tablets could provide the Little Skeleton with five hundred EXP, which was completely enough to support the Little Skeleton in advancing from Bronze 1-Star to Bronze 2-Star, or perhaps even Bronze 3-Star!

Thinking of this, Jiang Nan's eyes immediately lit up. He stared fixedly at the Little Skeleton, as if looking at some rare and precious treasure!
