The Last Night Before School Begins! A New Legendary Journey Is About to Begin!

On the evening of the last day of summer vacation.

As usual, Mu Yun came out of the bathroom with Xiao Du and Namikaze.

Normally, the Beedrill family disliked getting wet, let alone taking baths. But perhaps because it had been a habit since childhood, Xiao Du not only had no trouble adapting to it, but actually enjoyed it.

He would even squeeze into a plastic barrel over a meter tall with Namikaze for a soak.

It could only be said that the influence of one's environment was indeed immense.

[ Ding! The host has completed a serious massage. Skill experience +20! ]

[ General Massage (LV2, 440/1000) → General Massage (LV2, 460/1000) ]

"Bzzp~~"

"Pip~~"

After the massage, the two little ones lay sprawled on the sofa in complete satisfaction.

As Mu Yun's massage skills became more refined and his understanding of Xiao Du and Namikaze's body structures deepened, the effects of every massage improved as well.

By the end of each session, the two little ones were always so comfortable that they did not want to move, like two lumps of soft clay.

"The snacks are in the fridge. If you want some, remember to get them yourselves." Mu Yun patted their heads.

To grind Cooking experience, aside from the three proper meals each day, Mu Yun had also studied quite a few snack recipes.

He had made plenty of Xiao Du's favorite Flaming Spicy Strips, Namikaze's beloved chocolate pudding, and Mu Yun's personal favorite, Moomoo Milk Candy.

That had also earned him some experience.

However, perhaps because of the quantity involved, it did not give much experience. Making something usually only earned one or two points.

Still, something was better than nothing.

"System, open the host panel."

After returning to his bedroom and sitting in front of his laptop, Mu Yun muttered in his heart.

[ Host: Mu Yun ]

[ Attributes: Constitution: 14, Spirit: 20, Charm: 8, Luck: 1 ]

[ Skills: Yanhuang Language (LV3, 325/10000), Free Eagle Language (LV2, 478/1000), Sakura Language (LV2, 28/1000), Cooking (LV2, 322/1000), Ninth National Fitness Exercise (LV2, 198/1000), General Massage (LV2, 460/1000) ]

[ Special Ability: None ]

[ Energy Points: 0 ]

[ Points: 1550 ]

"As expected, massage improves the fastest." Mu Yun glanced at the experience values of the various skills and sighed.

Because of their morning and evening training, Mu Yun massaged the two little ones twice a day. At twenty experience points each, that came to forty points a day.

In another two weeks, General Massage would reach LV3.

Cooking was improving at a decent pace too. It brought in more than ten points a day and would level up in two months at most.

Language skills were not Mu Yun's main focus. Yanhuang Language only grew faster because he read novels before bed every night and listened to audiobooks while doing Calisthenics.

Considering the Trait effects of his existing language skills, Mu Yun was not in any hurry.

Unfortunately, Calisthenics took too long to perform, and doing it continuously put a heavy Overload on his body. Its daily experience gains were still in the single digits.

He hoped he would find some method to increase experience gains later.

After looking over the skill list, Mu Yun turned his gaze to the Points section at the bottom.

Through daily missions and battle missions, he had finally saved up a four-digit amount of Points.

"Time to start spending!"

Mu Yun opened the Points Exchange Shop.

A dazzling array of goods filled his vision.

Song Xiaomeng's matching fully covered 60D black stockings?

Skip!

Wang Dan's matching thin, breathable purple pajamas?

Skip!

Liu Jianhao's matching white shorts?

What the hell was this? Get out of here!

After picking through the options, Mu Yun ultimately selected two Luxury Balls with larger interior spaces and more comfortable living conditions.

Priced at 100 Points each, Mu Yun immediately clicked twice.

Points -200!

Luxury Ball +2!

Compared with a Poké Ball worth 300 League Coins, a Luxury Ball worth 10,000 League Coins gave off an air of expensive luxury from its black-and-gold special coating alone.

It also felt quite nice in his hand, cool and smooth.

Moreover, a Luxury Ball could shrink to the size of a thumb, making it much more convenient to carry than a Poké Ball, which could only shrink to the size of a baby's fist at most.

After exchanging for the Luxury Balls, Mu Yun began purchasing Energy Cubes.

The Energy Cubes he had stocked up on before had already been completely eaten, and the League Coins in his bank card had to be saved for groceries and living expenses.

Therefore, Mu Yun could only exchange Points for them.

[ Universal Basic Energy Cube: Made from a mixture of various ordinary Berries. After consumption, it slightly restores Stamina and energy. Price: 1 Point each. ]

One Point per cube. With Xiao Du and Namikaze's current activity levels, each Pokémon needed five a day, for a total of ten.

"I'll exchange for ten first. That'll be enough for tomorrow."

After thinking it over, Mu Yun made his decision.

The Points Exchange Shop could be used at any time anyway. He could exchange them as needed, so there was no need to stockpile.

After that, Mu Yun looked at several newly added items.

[ Psychic Powder (Basic): A battle-enhancement Basic Treasure, ... Price: 10,000 Points each ]

[ Hound Fang (Basic): A special-enhancement Basic Treasure, ... Price: 10,000 Points each ]

The two Basic Treasures were both uniformly priced at ten thousand Points in the Points Exchange Shop.

Converted to League Coins, that was one million.

It sounded expensive, but these things were entirely a seller's market. Anyone trying to buy them would inevitably have to pay a premium.

Looking at it that way, the Points Exchange Shop was quite generous. It was just that he was a little poor and could not afford them...

At this stage, relying on battles to accumulate Points could only cover the bare minimum food expenses. If he wanted to buy these "luxury goods," he would have to depend on mission rewards.

For example, the short-term mission that would soon become available offered a full five hundred Points alone. Besides that, it also had many non-sale items unavailable in the Points Exchange Shop.

There were also master missions for all attributes and other attributes. Each one gave ten thousand Points, enough to directly buy a Basic Treasure.

"No matter how I look at it, strength is what matters. As long as my Pokémon's levels rise, there'll be Points, and there'll be League Coins too."

With that thought, Mu Yun left his bedroom and looked at the two little ones in the living room, watching television and eating snacks at the dining table.

[ Pokémon: Beedrill (Dugu/Xiao Du) ]

[ Gender: Male ]

[ Attributes: Bug + Poison ]

[ Level: 12 (Normal Level) ]

[ Ability: Sniper (When landing a critical hit, move power becomes 225% of normal) ]

[ Moves: String Shot (Limit-Breaking +1, 250/2000), Poison Sting (Perfected, 310/1000), Harden (Perfected, 10/1000), Twineedle (Perfected, 440/1000), Fury Attack (Perfected, 10/1000) ]

[ Potential: Elite Level ]

[ Base Stats: 395 ]

[ Limit-Breaking Points: 1 ]

This morning, Xiao Du had successfully reached level 12. As for his moves, all of them had already reached Perfected.

After reaching Perfected, Harden and Fury Attack each gained a 10% increase to Normal Type move power.

The effect of Fury Attack at Expertise was increased flight speed during activation. At Perfected, the boost reached 100%, effectively a speed-doubling buff.

Harden's Trait effects remained simple and brutal: move activation speed increased by 200%, hardened defense increased by 150%, and after activation, the hardness of his body's bones increased by 100% for a period of time.

It was worth mentioning that Xiao Du's Twineedle counted as bone, and his slender limbs were also covered in exoskeleton, making this a rather good enhancement.

As for Twineedle, once its proficiency reached Expertise, the Trait that appeared was ultimately still tied to toxicity.

[ Twineedle (Perfected, 440/1000): During move use, Twineedle hardness +200%; during move use, Twineedle penetration +150%; while using Twineedle, poison toxicity +100%; power of all Bug Type moves +10%. ]

Hardness + penetration + poison.

Xiao Du was going further and further down the dark path of a Poison Type assassin...

In comparison, Namikaze was much more sunny.

[ Pokémon: Pidgey (Namikaze) ]

[ Gender: Male ]

[ Attributes: Normal + Flying ]

[ Level: 11 (Normal Level) ]

[ Ability: Keen Eye (His accuracy cannot be lowered) ]

[ Moves: Tackle (Perfected, 350/1000), Sand Attack (Expertise, 0/300), Gust (Perfected, 660/1000) ]

[ Held Item: None ]

[ Potential: Normal Level ]

[ Base Stats: 251 ]

[ Limit-Breaking Points: 0 ]

There was no need to say much about Tackle's effects. Sand Attack was something Mu Yun had him practice over the past few days.

It did not take much experience to train it to Expertise, taking less than a day in total.

[ Sand Attack (Expertise, 0/300): Sand density +150%, sand range +100%, sand speed +50%. ]

The Trait effects were decent, but Namikaze was not a Ground Type Pokémon. There was no need to waste energy on this move in the early stages, so Mu Yun did not have him continue practicing it. Instead, he put the remaining time into Gust.

In another two days, Gust would reach Limit-Breaking.

Then, he would be able to see the effects of Namikaze's Ability enhancement, as well as the Limit-Breaking Points required for his potential enhancement.

Namikaze's future was bright!
