May 10, Jubilife Breeding Center.
The competition was tomorrow, but Li Wei still hadn't gotten the knack of it. He could only make Rich Poffins.
But it was too late to change his entry. He had already submitted his ingredient list to the organizers.
He had made seventeen batches of Poffins yesterday, and Li Wei felt as if his whole body smelled like them.
The finished Poffins had either been eaten by everyone at the center or given straight to wild Pokémon.
This had also greatly improved his Poffin proficiency.
Poffin (Advanced): omitted (22,134/100,000)
He had racked up several thousand proficiency points in a single day!
At this rate, if Li Wei made Poffins like a man possessed for a little over two weeks, he could eventually reach the top level.
Unfortunately, he didn't have that luxury. The finals were tomorrow.
According to the system's assessment of Poffin (Advanced), Li Wei did have a chance of producing a Super Rich Poffin.
It just wasn't a very high chance.
When his Pokéblock skill first reached the top level, for instance, it had specified a 50% chance of making perfect-quality Pokéblocks.
By now, that had risen to 66%.
Li Wei suspected that this particular chance was below 10%.
It wasn't impossible, but it required a certain amount of luck.
Luck?!
An idea suddenly flashed through Li Wei's mind.
Squirrel-Shaped Mandarin Fish!
Li Wei looked at the system's Special Cuisine Pokédex.
The entry for Squirrel-Shaped Mandarin Fish (Grade A) clearly stated that eating it granted a luck buff lasting twenty-four hours.
As long as Li Wei made a Grade A Squirrel-Shaped Mandarin Fish before midnight,
he could get a luck buff that would last until the day after tomorrow.
That buff might help him make a Super Rich Poffin during the
