The skeleton is too invincible; I leveled up with the school beauty!

"boom!"

The coffin lid exploded, and black mist surged out like a tide, instantly enveloping the entire square.

The chilling atmosphere sent a shiver down everyone's spine, and several timid girls screamed and backed away.

"Splash... splash..."

The clanging of chains rang out.

Amidst the expectant and curious gazes of the crowd...

A skeleton bound by blood-red chains slowly rose from the coffin.

The scene was indescribably eerie and terrifying.

The entire venue fell into a deathly silence, as if time itself had frozen at that moment.

Three seconds later, a burst of laughter erupted like a volcanic eruption.

"That's it? Isn't this just one of those lowest-level F-rank skeletons from the beginner dungeons?"

"What kind of genius school beauty summons this scrawny skeleton? My dog ​​could tear it to shreds!"

"This skeleton isn't even as good as the braised pork ribs at the cafeteria's buffet; at least those have a couple ounces of zombie meat to gnaw on!"

"They're not even as good as the kid in the next class who can summon slimes. At least those slimes are soft and squishy!"

"That guy who summoned goblins last year is still in a mental hospital, dancing to his driving test to music. It's hilarious!"

"Su Wanqing is completely finished! A contract master only has one chance in their lifetime to make a contract, and the lives of the contract master and the contracted beast are bound together; they rise and fall together!"

The boys and girls in school uniforms pointed and whispered, hurling insults like "trash," "garbage summon," and "broken skeleton" without any mercy.

Before Xu Nuo could react, he suddenly felt something cold poking his pelvis.

Looking down, he saw a bespectacled boy poking him in there with a twig, a lewd smile on his face.

"Tsk tsk, this skeleton monster's got something!"

"Damn it! Where the hell are you touching?!"

Xu Nuo kicked the kid away, and his soul fire instantly turned bright red, like a burning flame.

Xu Nuo suddenly recalled a profound saying:

Brother, remember this: the one who lends you a hand is a brother, the one who tries to pull you back... is definitely a gay man! This cheesy line, which I once saw online, now seems particularly darkly humorous in Xu Nuo's skeletal state.

It turns out that some truths truly transcend worlds and races...

The current promise is so embarrassing that I could practically dig my toes out of a three-bedroom apartment.

He subconsciously reached up and touched his face.

Okay, no face.

Only a smooth skull.

A chill ran straight up my fingertips to my forehead!

"This is fucking..."

Looking at the people taking photos in front of him, and then looking down at his own bony figure, he suddenly realized a problem that couldn't be more serious!

"Dude, where are my clothes? Why isn't there even a single bitter tea leaf?!"

Xu Nuo subconsciously wanted to find some clothes to cover herself, but looking around, she didn't even have a piece of cloth to cover herself.

Okay, so it turns out that becoming a ghost doesn't alleviate the problem of social death.

Even though he was now just a skeleton, he still felt an indescribable sense of shame being stared at by so many people like they were looking at a monkey in a zoo.

Especially over there, that pretty girl with tears streaming down her face was looking at him with eyes full of utter despair… “Holy crap! This is a scene that will make you faint!”

"Looks like I'm outta here..."

With a swift, agile movement, he lay back down in the coffin, his skeletal hands grabbing the blown-off lid and carefully covering himself back up.

"Bang!"

The sound of the coffin lid closing was particularly loud in the silent square.

......

The entire room fell silent.

Everyone stared in disbelief at the coffin that had covered itself.

"It...it lay back down by itself?"

"And she's even shy?!"

"This trash skeleton soldier has become sentient! It actually has self-awareness?"

This operation is beyond everyone's comprehension.

Undead with complete self-awareness do exist, but those are at least A-rank or higher high-level beings.

And this trash skeleton soldier... it looks like it's only F-rank!

Dean Lu Tianming's white beard stood up high.

He had lived most of his life and had seen fire-breathing bone dragons and swearing zombies, but he had never seen a shy skeleton soldier before!

Su Wanqing was completely dumbfounded!

This... this skeleton monster seems completely different from the ones I've seen in low-level dungeons.

Her face, streaked with tears, was blank. She instinctively walked to the coffin and gently knocked on the lid.

"Um... are you a summoned, contracted beast?"

A creaking sound of bones grinding against each other came from inside the coffin, as if Xu Nuo was struggling with something. A few seconds later, the coffin lid was lifted a crack.

A bony hand reached out, first pointing to itself, then to Su Wanqing, and finally making a "probably" gesture, accompanied by a helpless shrug.

"Pfft—"

Su Wanqing stopped crying and started laughing, her tearful eyes curving into crescent moons.

This skeleton that's shy and makes gestures... isn't it kind of cute?

The promise inside the coffin was drawing circles in frustration.

When other people transmigrate, they become either overpowered protagonists or major villains, so why did he become a socially awkward skeleton?

This script is wrong!

He was thinking about how to get out of this awful place.

The next moment, the coffin lid was suddenly lifted.

The pretty girl with red, swollen eyes from crying was squatting beside the coffin, her nose still slightly red from crying, looking like a pitiful little rabbit.

"Um... even though you're a little skeleton..."

She sniffled, her voice still trembling with tears, "But I'll be a good contract master! We'll get stronger together... together... together we'll work hard... together we'll improve..."

As he spoke, his voice grew softer and softer, clearly indicating that he himself didn't quite believe what he was saying.

Xu Nuo's eyes flickered with a hint of anger. This girl had a soft voice and was so pretty.

The key point is... she seems genuinely upset.

Moreover, listening to these people's mockery of her, Xu Nuo could sense that the girl's background seemed extremely tragic: a seriously ill mother, a missing father, and the ridicule of others...

She was like a small flower swaying in the wind and rain, lonely and helpless, making people feel sorry for her.

"Crunch, crunch..."

Xu Nuo reached out his bony hand and gently patted Su Wanqing's head.

This is some small consolation.

This action caused another uproar in the audience!

"Holy crap! A skeleton head pat?!"

"What the hell is this fantastical plot?!"

"I'm so jealous! Why is it that all the ghouls I summon can do is fart? This is so unfair!"

"Even skeletons are showing off their love these days?!"

Su Wanqing was stunned.

The cold, bony palm pressed against her head, yet it inexplicably gave her a feeling of warmth.

Like a small sun that suddenly appears in a storm, it may not be big, but it's enough to illuminate the darkness before your eyes.

"Thank you……"

She whispered, tears welling up in her eyes again.

Xu Nuo panicked.

He was most afraid of girls crying.

Xu Nuo frantically gestured with his bony fingers: "Don't cry, don't cry! I may be a noob now, but I have a system! Once I evolve into the Skeleton King, I'll treat you to a life of luxury!"

Unfortunately, Su Wanqing couldn't understand his skull sign language at all, and was instead amused: "Are you doing a robot dance?"

Xu Nuo: "..."

For the first time, Gu Sheng truly understood what it meant to "play music to a cow."

It's so hard to win a woman's heart!

.......

The wrinkles on Dean Lu Tianming's face were now twisted into a mess, resembling ugly earthworms.

He stared intently at the shy skeleton, his cloudy eyes churning with barely concealed disappointment and anger.

Su Wanqing is the girl with the highest talent value in the school!

He had hoped that Su Wanqing could awaken a powerful combat-type profession and bring glory to the school.

It might even reach Grade A and become the pride of Luolong City!

Unexpectedly, Su Wanqing awakened a contract master!

Contract masters are one thing!

If you're lucky enough to summon a powerful contracted beast, then you've turned misfortune into blessing and made a fortune!

But of all things, Su Wanqing summoned this trashy little skeleton...

Lu Tianming suddenly found it somewhat ridiculous.

He's lived most of his life, and he actually put all his eggs in one basket with this little girl?!

His reputation is ruined in his later years!

"Su Wanqing! The school committee's scholarships aren't for feeding skeletons!"

Lu Tianming was no longer as gentle as before; his face was so gloomy it seemed like it could drip water, and he said coldly, "You sign a repayment agreement with the school, repaying your scholarship on time every month after graduation, and also compensating the school for its losses!"

The girl's tears slid silently down her cheeks, dripping onto the skeleton of Xu Nuo with a soft "hiss." It was the sound of hope being extinguished by reality.

It was as if her shattered dreams were mocking her.

Xu Nuo looked at the crying girl, and his soul fire suddenly stopped.

This girl...

She was just forcing a smile at me...

Now, however, they don't even dare to cry out loud...

Xu Nuo's skeletal fingers suddenly clenched, making a teeth-grinding "crackling" sound.

But in the very next moment—

Everyone was stunned!
