Just like in the world Mo Yi used to live in, when people talk about rings, most of them think of wedding rings, the kind with diamonds.

It's clearly worthless, its greatest value being as a diamond for cutting hard objects, yet it's been touted as one of the most precious gemstones.

In the Honkai World, diamonds are just worthless stones. After all, there are so many advanced technologies in the Honkai World, and privately synthesized diamonds are not a monopolized technology.

Although Mo Yi didn't think Kiana would overthink it, since she was the kind of carefree person who would be happy as long as she received a gift, others might not.

To avoid some scenes of knocking on the door in the middle of the night, Mo Yi decided to create something else instead.

When in doubt, consult the Princess?

However, Mo Yi was still in Sage State, and once he contacted the other party, it wouldn't be possible to hang up the phone in less than an hour. Seeing Mo Yi in his current state of utter inactivity—or, in the Honkai World, 'insect-like' state—the other party might unleash a torrent of sarcastic remarks, saying things like, "Take care of your health," "Doujinshi are nice, but don't get too many," or "Next time, maybe you should use your feet to help him," and other such vulgar teasing.

Therefore, Mo Yi rejected this method, which was usually the most effective.

Anyway, there are still about three hours of Sage Time reflection left, Mo Yi can take his time to think.

Or

At this moment, Mo Yi remembered a hidden setting in the Honkai World: thigh-high stockings are a reflection of combat power!

Yes, the longer the socks, the stronger the fighting ability often is!

Moreover, with socks and such, you wear them on your legs, so unless you break your leg, you don't have to worry about Kiana, that clumsy girl, losing this one and only precious item.

Or should I rub the over-the-knee socks together?

After thinking for two seconds, Mo Yi rejected the seemingly feasible suggestion again, because Mo Yi remembered the pair of socks that Kiana wore when she was dual-wielding, which were full of Kiana's scent. Socks need to be changed every day, and you can't expect Kiana to wear the same pair of socks every day, can you?

If that's the case, next time it won't just be a slightly strong smell, but it will be upgraded to a biological weapon.

Are we supposed to wait until the boss fight to throw our socks at it like weapons, hoping to stun the boss with their stench?

Just thinking about it made Mo Yi feel that the scene was too beautiful, like, "You're too beautiful."

However, it's more likely that Kiana will use the moment she takes off her socks to force Miss Mei and Bronya to faint from the stench, which would be ridiculous.

After careful consideration, Mo Yi decided to create a bracelet that could be adjusted in tightness.

Why does it need to be adjustable? Naturally, it's because Mo Yi doesn't know how thick Kiana's hands are. If he just randomly chooses a size, there's a high chance that it won't fit or will slip off due to being too loose.

It can also be worn on the foot, and it would be even better with a bell.

As for the shape and color, it's just a regular silver chain. If it were the old Mo Yi, his DIY spirit would have been ignited, and he would have made the bracelet as gorgeous and cool as possible, for example, by adding a color-changing effect that changes with the surrounding environment.

By day, it is a dazzling white; by night, it is a multicolored black; indoors, it is a passionate deep blue; and outdoors, it is a silent and profound crimson.

But when Mo Yi thought of Miss Mei at home, that thought immediately vanished.

Thinking about it, Mo Yi suddenly remembered that he should also make two similar Rune (eye) stone necklaces or other accessories for Raiden Mei and Yue Xia, which he gave to Kiana.

After all, it's not just Kiana who will encounter danger; supporting female characters like Raiden Mei and Yue Xia might also face danger. In fact, as supporting female characters, they are more likely to encounter danger than Kiana.

Unless it's the grand finale, the Heroine can't possibly die, but the supporting female characters don't have that guarantee. To elicit tears and money from viewers, the Da Wei Ge states that if you sacrifice yourself next time, you'll have to kneel down. For example, in the original story, under the Yue Xia.

For Mei, it'll be a Miss Mei hair clip, and for Yue Xia, it'll be a necklace. Hmm, that's settled then.

After making up his mind, the Pufferfish Certificate in his inventory began to transform into an ordinary silver bracelet with the 'indestructible' attribute, according to Mo Yi's imagination.

As for Miss Mei and the gift under the Yue Xia, we can only work on them after Mo Yi finishes his Sage Time.

After obtaining the Pufferfish Certificate, Mo Yi took out his handheld game console and began studying the newly purchased game, Pokémon.

After reading the game instructions and rewards, Mo Yi roughly understood the situation.

This game is the same as the one Mo Yi played before becoming Official Player; you can play it at home and it doesn't require designing a real-world environment like free-to-play games.

Unlike the Pokémon games Mo Yi had played before, this one was a compilation of all versions, such as Ruby, Sapphire, and Black & White that Mo Yi knew, and the Pokemon settings in it were also closer to the anime world.

In the Pokémon games, legendary Pokémon are all trash. You can easily defeat them by finding some Pokemon that are super effective against them or that are high-level.

In the new version of the Little World Game, this unrealistic buff has been fixed. No matter how powerful a level 100 Caterpie is, it can't beat Rayquaza in the game. Your evolution will always be your evolution!

Like in the Pokémon games Mo Yi used to play, using Pikachu to defeat Arceus, the Creator God (alpaca), is impossible. Mo Yi isn't the main character, the little idiot.

Therefore, even if you encounter a legendary Pokémon in the game, it is extremely difficult to catch it as a pet without the help of a plot kill, unless you catch a shameful level 3 legendary Pokémon like Zapdos, Articuno, or Moltres.

Moreover, other aspects of the setting are also very realistic and rigorous. For example, the character controlled by Mo Yi in the game not only needs to take care of the Pokemon, but also needs to take care of himself.

Because players have their own hunger and stamina levels, and they might be attacked by Pokémon, reloading a save is out of the question.

Once you reach that point in the game, you'll reappear at that same story point the next time you play. If you die, you'll have to start over.

It's supposed to be a card collection strategy game, but Little World Game has managed to transform it into a high-difficulty wilderness survival game similar to Don't Starve.

However, the game rewards are very generous. In addition to the crystal rewards you can get after achieving something in the game, the most important thing is the Pokemon themselves. As the affinity between the captured Pokemon increases, Mo Yi can randomly learn the skills that the other Pokémon knows. When the affinity is full, you can also summon the other Pokémon in the real world in a way similar to Stand User to help Mo Yi fight.

And then the imagery immediately came to mind.

Bronya: Heavy-duty Rabbit, Laser, Missiles, and finally Flamethrower!!

Mo Yi: Groudon, Cliff Sword!

PS: Chapter 46, Yue Xia 1.7: "It's okay—" Miss Mei said with a smile, "But Mo Yi, have you seen Little Theresa? I just went to wake her up, and it seems she went out too." While Mo Yi was on the phone, Yue Xia had already covered her mouth, not letting herself make a sound. Mo Yi had promised Yue Xia that he wouldn't let anyone else know they went out to buy gifts together, so he had to gloss over it, saying, "I think I saw her go out earlier." After struggling to deal with Miss Mei, Mo Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief after hanging up the phone. Lying was a skill Mo Yi had never needed in his previous life. Miss Mei, after hanging up the phone, looked at the still locked door on the first floor, her gaze sharpening, and the sound of clattering filled the air again. Yue Xia: "..." After listening to Mo Yi's phone call, Yue Xia knew in her heart that things were bad. Even she couldn't fool Brother Mo Yi's words, so how could she possibly fool the highly perceptive Sister Mei? Time was running out, she couldn't play around anymore, and the plan had to be sped up!

Chapter 154: Being able to fly really does mean you can do whatever you want.

Although Mo Yi possesses the abilities of Honor of Kings character, and his combat abilities are diverse, Pokémon still has many powerful skills, such as: the theoretically absolute defense 'Protect', the rapid self-healing 'Agility Heal', 'Feather Dance', 'Photosynthesis', the powerful attacks 'Hyper Beam' and 'Sky Attack', certain special support abilities 'Future Sight', the ability to sleep without fear of insomnia 'Sleep', the low-cost movement skill 'Teleport', and so on.

Some of the mythical beasts in the story are indeed very powerful, displaying strength that is in no way inferior to the heroes in Honor of Kings, such as Arceus, the creator of the world, the Dimensional Trio, Dusk Mane Necrozma who gave light to the world.

If you can catch Mo Yi in the game and max out his affection level, you can summon him during battle. Then, the battle won't just be a two-on-one fight; it'll be like having a cheat code!

Although Mo Yi can usually have five hero Character Card active, the power he gains is all in the form of skills. To make full use of the opponent's power, he needs to use it more often, which requires a lot of training time.

In addition to enriching Mo Yi's combat methods, Pokémon skills are also very useful in daily life, such as 'Lucky Chant'.

Most importantly, these skills are quite simple and straightforward. Once Mo Yi learns them, he can quickly master them without needing a lot of time to adapt to and master them, unlike the hero powers in Honor of Kings.

Besides that, what Mo Yi cared about most was that he could teach the abilities he gained inside to others.

The method involves using the in-game item 'TM' to input the skills Mo Yi has learned, which can then be passed on to others.

As for the 'TM', it can be obtained from the game or from the game store. However, since the TM will break every time it is used, it simply means you have to spend money to get it.
