My Runes Can Be Upgraded Chapter 25

025 Third Condition Fulfilled

After successfully inscribing [Golem Doll], several of Wu Wei’s attributes increased.

(Common)

..

Although he had contracted with the Golem Doll, Wu Wei couldn’t be considered a Stage 1 Runic Summoner yet. At most, he could only be considered a Semi-Stage-1 Runic Summoner.

He first needed to raise his level to level 11 before becoming a full-fledged Stage 1 Summoner.

However, Wu Wei wasn’t in a hurry to reach level 11. Right now, he was more focused on his second Core Rune.

Wu Wei casually waved his hand, and a murky-black light appeared before him and started to glow. A second later, a murky-black figure appeared from within.

The murky-black figure didn’t even look like it was a meter tall, and its appearance was similar to an infant. It was round and had listless eyes -the same as Yellow before. As it didn’t have any intelligence and was currently just a combat doll, it stood motionlessly.

For some reason, Yellow seemed interested in this little Golem Doll that had suddenly appeared, and he appeared to be sizing it up through his eyes.

When Wu Wei squinted, the attribute window of the Golem Doll appeared in front of Wu Wei.

..

Name: Golem Doll

Quality: Common

Level: 10

Skills:

..

It was basically the same as what Wu Wei had expected – nothing.

Wu Wei took out another Golem Doll rune and stuck it on the second page of his Book of Runes.

In the blink of an eye, the second Golem Doll rune faded into the book, and another line of words appeared in front of Wu Wei:

[1/1]

Wu Wei continued to take out his last remaining Golem Doll rune to do the same, but nothing happened.

Wu Wei had expected this.

“Seems like I’m left with an extra Golem Doll! I guess I’ll sell it back to the rune shop at a discount.”

Next, Wu Wei took out the Golem Heart and handed it over to the Golem Doll.

“Equip it!”

Even though the Golem Doll didn’t have intelligence, it could still follow the intention of Wu Wei’s orders.

After the Golem Doll equipped the Golem Heart, Wu Wei squinted in antic.i.p.ation of a new condition, but nothing happened.

But he also realized that it was to be expected since the Golem Doll was not standing on actual ground and had not activated [Earth Manipulation].

After making some preparations, Wu Wei returned to the Runic world.

Runic Summoners could choose where to appear when logging in. However, they could only mark a single location at a time.

The place that Wu Wei had marked was the Wild Boar Valley, and so there was where he appeared.

After arriving, Wu Wei immediately called out Yellow and the Golem Doll.

Nothing happened when Yellow appeared, but as soon as the Golem Doll stepped onto the ground, a progress bar appeared in front of Wu Wei.

“What is this?”

Wu Wei watched as the progress bar seemed to be filling up quickly!

Five minutes later, the bar had been filled up, and another line of words appeared in front of Wu Wei.

[1/1000]

At the same time, the second advancement condition appeared on the Golem Doll’s attribute window!

[Use [Earth Nourishment] 1000 times!]

“The second condition is out! Use Earth Nourishment 1000 times. Since it takes around 5 minutes for 1 use to be counted, at this rate, 1000 times will take only 3 or 4 days!”

Wu Wei was highly pleased.

Afterward, Wu Wei ordered Yellow to sweep all the boars in Wild Boar Valley. At the same time, he had the Golem Doll start practicing [Earth Manipulation].

Since the Earth Nourishment was part of one condition, maybe there was a condition involving Earth Manipulation!

Wu Wei’s hunch was correct. As soon as the Golem Doll started to use the [Earth Manipulation] skill, another progress bar appeared.

This time, however, the speed of the progress bar was much faster and filled up in about a minute! A line of words appeared again in front of Wu Wei’s eyes.

[1/1000] (Use Earth Manipulation 1000 times)

It was also 1000 times just like before. If things went smoothly, it would only take 1000 minutes to complete.

With this, three of the advancement conditions for the Golem Doll were now known to Wu Wei.

Although he was content, Wu Wei pressed on with trying to find a fourth condition.

However, no matter how Wu Wei did, a fourth condition did not appear.

Neither hunting Wild Boars nor consuming Runic Pills had worked.

Wu Wei was starting to get a headache.

“Forget it. Let’s put aside the fourth condition and complete these two conditions first!”

Wu Wei calmed himself down. It was time for another session of outdoor camping in the Wild Boar Valley.

Three days pa.s.sed by quickly.

During these three days, Wu Wei spared some time out of his busy routine to oversee the training of the Golem Doll.

Having reaped the benefits of the [Strange Medicinal Dregs], repeating the method would serve no purpose except cause Wu Wei to pointlessly relive the painful ordeal before.

Therefore, Wu Wei had retired the idea and was busy with two things during the past three days. The first was in practicing with the Boar Slaughtering Slash.

Although there were only minuscule results at his current level of physical strength training, Wu Wei still worked hard at it. He would practice until he ran out of strength, read some books, and then repeat the cycle.

Three days of hard work did show its results. Initially, Wu Wei could only make 152 consecutive slashes, but now, he could make 168.

He had improved by 14 slashes.

More importantly, when Wu Wei had five thousand slashes on the third day, he suddenly felt like he had grasped something.

And when he checked, his status window confirmed he had mastered and made the skill his own!

Besides gaining a skill, Wu Wei also reaped huge rewards from reading.

In the past three days, Wu Wei had finished reading all 17 books he had borrowed.

When he reviewed what he had learned on the topic of Runemasters, Wu Wei made a significant discovery.

He discovered that when Runemasters upgraded their rune quality, they often needed some kind of catalyst – something with the same attributes as the rune being upgraded or something closely tied to it.

“Maybe to get a clue about Golem Doll’s fourth condition… I’ll need to pay his relatives a visit?”

“Mm… I remember that 15 miles north of Maple Leaf Town, there’s a cave nestling with Golems. I think I’ll have to try my luck there if the fourth condition doesn’t reveal itself soon.”

Suddenly, lines of words appeared in front of Wu Wei

[1000/1000]

[1000/1000]

[Your Core Rune has met the upgrade conditions. Do you wish to upgrade? Y/N.]

The Golem Doll had finished up the two conditions!
