Hu Bin still wore a dreamy smile. When he turned around, he found Ninetales and the others, including their newest teammate, Latios, watching him with teasing expressions.
Hu Bin blushed. "Go to bed already! Aren't you all tired? You sure perk up when there's gossip to hear."
Ninetales and the others stopped teasing their trainer and obediently went off to sleep.
Lying in bed, Hu Bin began thinking about the gifts he should prepare for Latios. A Soothe Bell and a Body Enhancer were essential, but he didn't have a single point left to exchange for gifts. Even a hero could be brought low by an empty wallet!
Just then, the system's voice rang out. "Congratulations, host, on completing the mission to earn Rayquaza's recognition and save the Hoenn Region. Reward: 500,000 points. Please keep up the good work, master!"
The sudden surprise left Hu Bin dazed, and he couldn't stop smiling. The system really does love me! There wasn't even a mission like this before, but seeing how broke I was, it made one up for me.
Hu Bin thanked the system from the bottom of his heart. "Thank you, mighty system!"
The system didn't reply. It was probably feeling shy!
Now that he had points, Hu Bin could exchange them for gifts for Latios. A Soothe Bell and a Body Enhancer were must-haves, along with a Dragon Fang to strengthen Dragon-type moves.
Hu Bin also checked Latios's information while he was at it. He wouldn't have known without looking, but what he saw gave him quite a shock. Latios's stats were downright mouthwatering!
