"Huh? Where did the shop owner go?"

After a large space was cleared in the middle, everyone crowded in, ready to watch how these thousand people captured spirit beasts in the world of the book. But someone was surprised to find that Ma Feifei, who had been standing by the long table, had suddenly disappeared.

"They should have gone inside by now," a cultivator replied, taking a small stool from his spatial bag and sitting down on it. He then took out a bag of unidentified snacks from his spatial bag, seemingly preparing to become a bystander.

The cultivators around seemed to have planned it all, and they all took out small stools from their spatial bags and sat down to watch the process of a thousand people entering the world of the book to capture little elves.

"Look, the shop owner is inside." Suddenly, a cultivator pointed to the projection.

As everyone looked over, they saw Ma Feifei in the image displayed on the projector.

Within the projection.

Ma Feifei was also a bit confused. He hadn't said he wanted to come in! The system didn't even bother to explain itself before bringing him and a thousand cultivators into the world.

"System, I want to ask what the point of me coming here is?" In his mind, Ma Feifei stared at the system panel and asked.

The system remained silent for a moment, then provided the answer in the information section.

"When the shop owner uses the 'One Book Multiple Travels' skill, they will automatically enter the Book World and act as a guardian to ensure that the plot of the world in the book is not affected."

"So I've become an NPC now?" Ma Feifei looked at the system's reply and was somewhat speechless.

He finally understood why the system added a note when introducing the 'One Book Multiple Travels' skill: to make him invincible in this world. It turned out that it was all to maintain order in this world, simply put, to prevent cultivators from killing the characters in the book.

For example, Ash Ketchum, the main character?

Suddenly, something fell next to Ma Feifei with a 'thud'. After exiting the system panel, Ma Feifei squatted down and picked it up.

"The Pokédex." Ma Feifei looked at the booklet in her hand and turned to the first page.

"The Pokédex records basic information about most Pokémon in the Pokémon world. Each newcomer receives a copy, and the handbook is automatically retrieved upon leaving the world within the book."

Apart from Ma Feifei, everyone who entered this world received Pokédex from the system.

Unlike Ma Feifei, everyone else also received an extra Poké Ball.

Obviously, due to the large number of players, the system has removed the requirement to spend coins to buy Poké Ball and has instead given them away for free.

At the same time, this sentence appeared in the minds of all the cultivators.

"If you successfully capture a Pokémon, you will automatically leave the world in the book. If you fail to capture a Pokémon, you will have to wait eight days before you can leave."

"Eight days?" The cultivators who received the news exclaimed in surprise.

"What a joke! Laozi 'm done playing! Get me out of here!" one of the cultivators cursed.

Why were they cursing and swearing? It's because their cultivation had been sealed! With their cultivation suppressed, they had become ordinary people.

What does it mean to be an ordinary person? It means danger, it means needing to eat!

Three meals a day!

Especially since their physique is already slightly stronger than that of ordinary people, they need to replenish more energy, and Jidu to eat in buckets.

Now, things are really messed up; we have to stay here for eight days straight. The scene of Liu Changsheng eating dried fruit to stave off hunger last time is still vivid in my mind. I can't even stand it for one day, let alone eight days.

But cursing won't help. The system won't stop playing just because you want to quit. Once you're on board, the experienced driver will definitely drive it as fast as he can before stopping.

"We have to stay inside for eight days! Does that mean we have to stay here and watch for eight days too?" the cultivator outside couldn't help but ask.

The cultivator beside him shook his head and explained, "No, it won't be more than eight hours. That Mad Scholar in the last round stayed inside for a whole day and night, and only an hour has passed outside."

"Then how will they eat?" one of the practitioners asked.

"Think of a way! Even without cultivation, a living person like that can't possibly starve to death, can he?"

"That's true."

"But why are there so few people? Didn't they teleport together?" a cultivator asked, looking at the projection.

The scene projected at this moment is a city street, with only two outsiders besides the original inhabitants, both of whom are women.

"They must be scattered and disorganized throughout the various corners of the world within the book."

The cultivator was right. After the thousand people entered the world in the book, they were scattered in various corners of the world by the system. Some were alone, some were in groups of three or five; some happened to know each other, and some unfortunately had grudges against each other.

However, at most, there would be no more than five cultivators scattered together.

The two women projected onto the screen were none other than Gongsun Qiong and Zhao Xiaodao.

By this time, Gongsun Qiong and Zhao Xiaodao had been in the city for a while, walking around and asking questions. Finally, they found out where they were.

Cerulean City.

Unfortunately, the two didn't know what Cerulean City was, and there was no information about the city in the Pokédex.

"President, what should we do next? It seems like all the Pokémon in the city have owners," Zhao Xiaodao asked, looking at the crowd around him.

According to the Pokédex, Pokémon with owners cannot be Sheer Force captured by others; and Pokémon that can live in cities all have owners, while wild Pokémon live in the wild.

"Let's find a place to settle down first," Gongsun Qiong sighed, rubbing her forehead. Their luck had been a bit bad; being sent to the city made it difficult to successfully capture a Pokémon in a short time. Plus, being women, they were physically weaker than men, and after walking for so long, they were both quite exhausted.

But in an unfamiliar city, with no money in their pockets, where could they find shelter?

"This is interesting." At some point, Ma Feifei also appeared in the city, sitting on a cloud and observing Gongsun Qiong and Zhao Xiaodao's movements.

The system granted Ma Feifei immense power within the book's world; he was like a creator, able to roam freely in this world and go wherever he wanted with a single thought.

The only regret is that he can only watch from the sidelines; he cannot use his abilities to capture the sprites, much less use them to help these cultivators. Everything depends on them themselves.
