That Is How It Is Meow: "That would work, but Meowth doesn't have that much money, meow."
Boil Daigo Into Soup: "I can buy it myself. I just need to convert it into an equivalent amount of gold, right?"
That Is How It Is Meow: "Sure, meow. Even though our worlds are different, gold is still very valuable, meow."
Be My Son: "Gurararara, I'll join in too."
Be My Son: "I'm quite interested in Pokémon—creatures that combine strength, personality, and potential."
Dongfang Bubai: "I am not short on money either."
Worst Spirit: "If it's just money, getting it is easy."
Son of Nature: "Same here."
Ordinary Group Owner: "Yeah, yeah. No one in the Chat Group actually lacks money, right? Guilty.jpg"
That Is How It Is Meow: "All right, then. What do you want, meow?"
Boil Daigo Into Soup: "I want a Growlithe."
Growlithe was quite extraordinary as well, but compared to other Pokémon, it looked more like an ordinary pet.
Though his world was far from ordinary and filled with Kaiju, a Growlithe was still the more suitable choice for now.
Worst Spirit: "Pikachu.jpg"
Worst Spirit: "After all, it was the first Pokémon the protagonist encountered, and it really is adorable."
Dongfang Bubai: "So this is the Pokémon you spoke of? It is indeed cute."
Dongfang Bubai: "Then I shall have a Pikachu as well."
Be My Son: "Gurararara, I don't particularly care about the species. Something like Rhyhorn or Machoke will do."
That Is How It Is Meow: "What strange tastes you have, meow."
That Is How It Is Meow: "Meowth has noted it down. @Son of Nature, @Golden Flash, @Uchiha Dance King, @Ordinary Group Owner, what about you, meow?"
Uchiha Dance King: "."
Uchiha Dance King: "Do you think I need to buy one?"
He was fucking dead already! Even if he wanted to buy one, he would not be able to receive it!
Would it be alive before being sent in, then dead after arriving?
Golden Flash: "Hahaha, a Growlithe will do for me. It can help protect Naruto Uzumaki later as well."
Ninja World also had ninja hounds, so a Growlithe would not stand out. Other Pokémon would work too, of course, but they would inevitably attract curiosity.
Ordinary Group Owner: "As for me, it would naturally be—"
Son of Nature: "Ralts!"
Ordinary Group Owner: "???"
Ordinary Group Owner: "You stole my line?"
Son of Nature: "No. I was merely stating the Pokémon I wanted."
Son of Nature: "No one can refuse a Pokémon, and even more so, no one can refuse Ralts."
Ordinary Group Owner: "Ralts, forever supreme!"
Ordinary Group Owner: "Oh, right. I want a female one."
Son of Nature: "Plus one."
That Is How It Is Meow: "Let me make this clear first: there might not be any, meow."
That Is How It Is Meow: "Especially Ralts. They are very precious, meow."
Son of Nature: "I know."
Ordinary Group Owner: "Got it."
Before he knew it, a week had passed since Bai Xuan joined the Spirit Energy Bureau and moved into the villa.
His classmates had also contacted Bai Xuan, asking him how they could reasonably avoid going to school while still ensuring graduation and even admission into university.
His answer had been very clear: either get specially recruited, or join the government.
The former was naturally impossible for them, while for the latter, the Superpowers they had Awakened did not meet the requirements.
Thus, fantasies were full, while reality was bony.
They could only look at Bai Xuan's empty seat in the classroom and fantasize that one day, they too could live so freely.
As for Bai Xuan, he did not feel that his life over the past week had been any easier than school.
He had merely shifted the time he spent studying to cultivation. In fact, because he had found the right way to cultivate, he was even more exhausted than before.
When he demonstrated his abilities to Huo Yu earlier, he had controlled oxygen. That had led him to suddenly realize that gravity was also one of the powers of nature he had mastered. He could completely apply gravity to his body to increase the intensity of his training.
After trying it, the results had been outstanding.
Workouts he had already grown accustomed to, to the point where he no longer even felt tired, returned to the exhaustion and fatigue he had felt at the very beginning. It was grueling, but the results were excellent.
Both his physique and Superpower grew far faster than before, and the power he could unleash through [Nature Authority] had become even more terrifying.
Setting aside his Superpower for the moment, because of the special nature of [Nature Authority], it was difficult to accurately determine just how strong he was with its enhancement.
His physique, on the other hand, was much easier to judge.
Like now, Bai Xuan played with the Type 92 Pistol in his hand before firing a shot at his own palm.
"Bang!"
Amid the thunderous gunshot, a bullet shot toward his palm with the force of thunder, about to pierce straight through it. Yet in the next second, Bai Xuan easily caught the fired bullet in his hand.
He opened his palm. It was fair as jade, utterly uninjured.
It had to be known that Bai Xuan had not used any ability from [Nature Authority]. He had relied solely on his physical constitution to withstand the damage of a firearm.
The implications were entirely different. One could imagine just how powerful his physique had become.
Though the Type 92 Pistol was not especially powerful among handguns, that was only relative. No matter how weak a firearm was, it was not something a human body could withstand. Besides, even if Bai Xuan wanted to test a more powerful handgun, he had no way of acquiring one.
Desert Eagle, M500 Revolver, Glock 17 Pistol. He wanted to try these handguns known as the most powerful in the world as well, but he could only think about it. Huo Yu would never give them to him.
"So, is my current physique capable of resisting firearms, or could I already do so a week ago, or even earlier?"
"I just never tried it?"
"Should I test a tank? It doesn't feel impossible."
He muttered these suicidal thoughts under his breath. He truly wanted to know the limits of his physical strength now, but there was no way to do so.
At that moment, Bai Xuan frowned as he sensed a wave of hostility. Following that malicious gaze, he saw a burly man staring at him gloomily. Even after noticing Bai Xuan looking back, the man made no effort to hide his hostility.
"A new member of the Spirit Energy Bureau? Or someone from another government department?"
Bai Xuan raised his brows, amusement flashing in his eyes.
He had met Su Yue, Chen Qiang, and Shui Rou. The man from earlier was none of them.
Either he was a new Spirit Energy Bureau member invited by Huo Yu, or he was someone from the government who knew Huo Yu well, but—
"Hostility for no reason is truly unpleasant."
On the other side, Li Feng stared darkly in Bai Xuan's direction, jealousy in his eyes.
"Other than his superior looks, he has no strengths at all."
"I really don't know what Huo Yu sees in that brat."
