The Yellow-Skinned Rat Pikachu

"A yellow-skinned mouse, Pikachu?"

Clearly, Karin had no idea what Yun Xi was talking about.

Seeing the look of surprise on Yun Xi's face, Karin felt a bit confused herself.

"It's just a mouse that can discharge electricity..."

Facing Karin's puzzled expression, Yun Xi explained helplessly, "It's something similar to a summoning beast..."

"Isn't that very powerful?"

After hearing Yun Xi's explanation, Karin felt a bit strange.

In her mind, every summoning beast was a powerful helper capable of assisting in battle.

But looking at Yun Xi's current expression, he seemed somewhat embarrassed...

"I don't know if it's powerful or not, but why would it give me this thing!"

The reason for Yun Xi's helplessness wasn't that he disliked the reward, but rather his frustration with the Pay-to-Win System.

As a Pay-to-Win System, although it was a bit unprofessional, Yun Xi had been able to accept it up until now.

After all, every reward he received or item he purchased had been quite impressive.

But this time, he had inexplicably completed a hidden task, and it had rewarded him with a Pikachu egg!

This left Yun Xi feeling quite helpless!

Yun Xi: "I am a ninja, not a Pokemon Trainer!"

"Ding, the items sold in the Shop are all from the Naruto World, but rewards obtained after completing hidden tasks are randomly acquired from the Heavens and Myriad Worlds."

Finally, seeing Yun Xi's conflicted expression, the system stepped out to explain.

"So you're saying that after I complete hidden tasks, I'll get some strange and exotic items?"

"Are the origins of those items safe?"

Hearing the system's explanation, Yun Xi voiced his doubts once more.

"Correct. The system will resolve the origins of the items for the host, so please rest assured and use them, host."

Seeming to realize Yun Xi's concerns, the system continued to explain.

"Alright, I understand."

With the system's guarantee, Yun Xi finally understood why this reward had given him a pet egg.

And after receiving the system's promise, Yun Xi finally began to feel that this little creature's egg was actually quite appealing.

The fundamental reason Yun Xi had initially been repulsed by the pet egg was the fear that the system might have a bug.

After all, there were so many "golden fingers" for transmigrators these days; it would be incredibly awkward if his system had grabbed the wrong thing.

Now, with the system's assurance, Yun Xi finally dispelled the worries in his heart.

He began to carefully examine the pet egg in front of him.

"It seems lightning-attribute chakra can help it hatch?"

Seeing the lightning-attribute chakra in the air disappearing rapidly, Yun Xi decided to test whether his own chakra could help accelerate its hatching speed.

"Lightning Style: Lightning Ball!"

After placing the pet egg on the table, Yun Xi quickly formed hand seals and released a B-rank Lightning Style ninjutsu.

A lightning ball about the size of a basketball directly enveloped the pet egg on the table.

At the same time, something unexpected happened!

The Lightning Style: Lightning Ball, which usually possessed immense power, not only failed to cause any damage upon contact with the pet egg, but the lightning-attribute chakra contained within it was completely absorbed by the egg!

"Don't tell me the Pikachu inside this egg comes with a 'Lightning Rod' ability?"

Watching the lightning ball about to vanish, Yun Xi was also quite surprised.

He understood the power of his own Lightning Style ninjutsu; under normal circumstances, it could even kill a Jonin instantly.

Yet, it hadn't caused any damage to this pet egg at all.

At the same time, Yun Xi discovered that the Pikachu inside the egg had become even more active...

"Brother Yun Xi, this egg is so amazing!"

Karin was also full of wonder after seeing this scene.

In the Naruto World, summoning beasts were not uncommon; after all, most ninjas would summon their own beasts during battle.

But it was quite strange to see someone like Yun Xi summon something that was still just an egg.

However, Yun Xi had no time to pay attention to Karin at the moment.

Because he wanted to know exactly how many of his Lightning Style attacks this pet egg could withstand.

"Lightning Style: Lightning Ball!"

"Lightning Style: Earth Flash!"

"Lightning Style: ..."

Finally, after Yun Xi finished unleashing his thirteenth Lightning Style ninjutsu, the pet egg on the table finally began to show some changes!

Having been charged by Yun Xi's dozen or so lightning techniques, the previously calm aura within the egg gradually began to turn violent.

Cracks had even started to appear on the surface of the eggshell...

"Brother Yun Xi, run! It's going to explode!"

Karin, who had been observing from the side, suddenly spoke up, her hands already prepared to perform a Sealing Jutsu.

"Right!"

Following Karin's warning, Yun Xi jumped up from the ground and moved to her side.

To prevent any accidents with the egg, Karin quickly began forming hand seals.

"Sealing Jutsu: Four-Corner Barrier."

Whether it was intentional or due to a lack of chakra, the barrier she cast was just large enough to cover the pet egg.

The very next second after Karin finished the Sealing Jutsu, the pet egg rewarded by the system burst open.

Although the blast wasn't powerful, if Yun Xi hadn't received Karin's warning, he likely would have been caught off guard by the sudden explosion.

"It really is you, yellow rat!"

"Oh, wait, it's Pikachu!"

As the eggshell shattered completely, Yun Xi finally saw what was inside.

Just as he had guessed, it was the yellow rat from Pokémon—Pikachu!

"Pika pika?"

Looking at the wary Yun Xi and Karin, Pikachu seemed a bit confused.

It had been perfectly fine inside the egg, but then a sudden explosion occurred, and it had just popped out.

Now, there was a glass-like barrier trapping it inside...

Pikachu was getting angry!

"Pika pika!"

The second Pikachu grew angry, a bolt of yellow lightning containing immense power erupted from its body, shattering Karin's barrier instantly before it looked at Yun Xi with an arrogant expression.

"Brother Yun Xi, it doesn't seem to like you?"

Seeing Pikachu's behavior, Karin, standing to the side, said cautiously, "How about I give it a try? My sensory ninjutsu tells me it doesn't have any hostility toward me."

"Fine, go ahead and try."

Watching Pikachu, who was full of hostility toward him, Yun Xi felt quite helpless.

The scene before him made him suspect that the system was messing with him again...

"Is your name Pikachu? Big Sister won't hurt you."

With Yun Xi's permission, Karin slowly approached Pikachu, using a gentle tone to try and soothe it.

But then, something unexpected happened.

Facing Karin, Pikachu showed no hostility at all; instead, a happy expression appeared on its face.

It leaped directly onto Karin's shoulder.

It even rubbed its face against hers.

Just as Yun Xi prepared to reach out and touch Pikachu, before he could even get close, Pikachu immediately entered a combat stance...

Seeing this, Yun Xi realized he had been played by the system once again!

[Author's Note]: Brothers, is this Pikachu a surprise? Hehe.
