Pokémon: I picked up a reborn Eevee at the start of the game.

It has to be said that superpowers bring quite a few hidden benefits.

She smiled and shook her head, saying, "I understand. Besides, you are the boss, and you are our company's biggest asset. The higher your reputation and status in various fields, the higher our company's visibility. So even though you haven't been here, you have made significant contributions to the company."

Although Noodle Baby doesn't understand probability, she knows that collecting all these top-tier keywords is practically a miracle.

Wow, that's some emotional intelligence. No wonder she's Sister Qian.

The two spent nearly half an hour taking a shower and doing other odd jobs.

In addition, there was a light green stone slab in the backpack.

This integrity of refusing rewards without merit far surpasses that of most humans.

The thought that she would be able to see her companions who had taken care of her day and night, as well as Xia Chen who had awakened her from her eternal slumber, in just fifteen days filled her with excitement.

This is what Gardevoir discovered in the second simulation.

This is Gardevoir's fourth journey in the New World since the new dungeon was opened.

Xia Chen, who was enjoying the flattery, naturally didn't forget to pat the other party on the back.

As you move upwards, the lines suddenly narrow, revealing Xia Chen's slender waist, which remains completely free of any excess fat despite the sweet talk and indulgence she's received these past few days.

Once she had settled down, Gardevoir used the extra time to continue grinding and leveling up.

…………

A simple calculation shows that each level adds ten minutes.

Happy New Year, Xiaohan! Congratulations on growing another year older.

"By the way, System, once I've mastered this technique, can I pass it on to other Pokémon?"

The second option, the Struggle Stone, is a decent reward, but it's a good backup option if the third reward isn't satisfactory.

Jiang Han nodded understandingly, then ran into the grass to chase after the silly dog.

The swimsuit, soaked with water, clung to her body, accentuating her flawless, curvaceous figure.

Gardevoir wondered to herself.

Characteristics, aptitude, talent, luck—everything about it is top-notch!

How could I have such a dream?

Isn't it great to get a 30% bonus for free?

…………

"Although the quality of their energy cubes is not as good as ours, their prices are much lower. Legal measures have been taken, but this alone is definitely not enough. This is the first problem the company must solve this year."

The system will absolutely not tell you these details unless you ask it yourself.

A family of mice that had built their nest in the yard looked at the snow near their home with a troubled expression, wondering how they could go out to forage for food under such conditions.

Is the long-awaited [A] rating because it defeated the "King of the Forest, Scizor"?

Xianbu shook his head, indicating that he had to go to training later.

"Wait a minute, Sister Zhulan, I'll go get you a bath towel!"

Xia Chen asked the three elves who were staying in the room.

Xia Chen leaned against the door of the guest room, watching Shirona pack her luggage inside.

Further up, there's the wet blonde hair draped over her shoulders, her graceful, long neck, a jawline even more defined than Xia Chen's life plan, and her slightly pale, gently pursed lips.

"Does it look good?"

But Jiang Qian, who had been a successful businesswoman for many years and was already a wealthy woman before collaborating with Xia Chen, could not possibly have low emotional intelligence.

However, his personality hadn't changed much. Upon meeting him, he greeted him with a mischievous "Happy New Year, Uncle Xia Chen!"

In addition to the Arcanine and Swamp King that Xia Chen had seen before, a Milotic has appeared in the pool in Jiang Qian's mansion garden.

There may be time differences, and some regions may not have the custom of celebrating the Lunar New Year, but people from different regions in the live stream are all sending the same message at this moment.

Little Duolong, who had always lived on Dragon Island, seemed to be seeing snow for the first time. He was very excited about the scene and rolled around in the snow.

His thin lips suddenly parted slightly.

Xia Chen opened the window, letting the cold wind outside carry snowflakes in and stick to his face.

Is it really that prestigious?

Gardevoir was extremely surprised.

He actually had quite a lot to do after the New Year. Besides the things he needed to gradually recover from his holiday slump, his own meditation training and the daily training of the elves, Xia Chen also had to handle some company affairs.

Amidst the reluctant farewells in the live chat, the intense nine-hour live stream finally came to an end.

Xia Chen remembered glancing at a news article before he transmigrated: Apple's profit that year was over 30 billion, while his own company, which had only been established for half a year, was already close to 4 billion.

Jiang Qian had been waiting for Xia Chen to make many important company decisions and New Year strategic goals for a long time, but Xia Chen, the absentee manager, kept postponing them because he was always busy.

At the very least, it's an item on par with the Eye of Empyrean that I obtained in the previous world, right?

The bug-type stone is a bit awkward, not to mention himself, Xia Chen's current lineup doesn't have any Pokémon that are even remotely related to the bug type.

As if under hypnosis, Xia Chen subconsciously nodded in response.

Snowflakes fluttered down, covering the ancient city with its blue bricks and gray tiles in a silvery coat.

[Option 2: 10 Struggle Stones (An advanced item for Struggle Gravels, which greatly enhances a certain basic ability when used.)]

Xia Chen had thought so, but Jiang Qian's subsequent words forced him to stand up, even though he was already half-lying down.

Energy level? Pass. Same old rule, even a dog wouldn't choose that.

"Is the situation urgent? Why don't we leave now? Leave your things here for now, there's no rush."

"Don't praise me too much. Sister Qian, you are the biggest contributor to the company's current booming development. Also, let's not be so formal with each other. You can still call me Xiao Chen as before."

The nearly ten-minute report was something that even Xia Chen, with his mental strength, would have had to put in some effort to remember. Yet Jiang Qian delivered it all in one breath without any pauses, demonstrating her astonishing memory and thorough familiarity with the data.

Now, Xia Chen's courtyard, which is neither too big nor too small, is covered in a blanket of snow.

After all, besides the current world of Emerald Washing, there are many more worlds waiting for us to explore.

For some reason, Xia Chen's mood became increasingly calm, especially at times like these.

Right now, it seems like we can practically win by default in one of these areas.

[Can.

Those two simple words made Gardevoir completely stop hesitating and make her final choice.

My initial level was 36, which should be my energy level in the real world when I entered this new instance.

"It's almost over, it's really all gone. Remember to maintain a healthy lifestyle, brothers, so let's all greet the New Year with a fresh start tomorrow morning!"

[Option 1: Energy Level +1 (No need to look anymore, I'll always be here watching over you!)]

Gardevoir knew that when Xia Chen said something like that, it meant he was about to leave.

Jiang Qian smiled faintly, "Happy New Year, boss~"

A gust of cold wind blew by, and he suddenly woke up.

Today is January 5th, is there anything I can help you with?

Gardevoir thought for a moment and recalled that Xia Chen seemed to have said that Mingyi would be coming back today.

After carefully selecting some gifts, Xia Chen plans to pay a visit today and offer New Year's greetings.

------

After dinner, thanks to the enthusiastic urging and donations from his fans, he continued his live stream for several more hours.

"System, is this stone tablet merely a prop in the simulated world, or can it be brought into the real world?"

As they walked along the garden path, Jiang Qian said, "Xiao Han, you play with the speed dogs for a while. Mommy has something to talk to your brother Xia Chen about."

You'd better be busy with these things.

That idiot is hopeless.

Gardevoir was about to close the inventory interface when she suddenly remembered something very important.

First, it needs to be clarified that Xia Chen is not a collarbone enthusiast, but when those few glistening water droplets playfully slid down her collarbone...

Xia Chen knew that from this moment on, he was.

…………

Currently, Gardevoir has only found one way to increase its duration: leveling up by defeating monsters.

"On October 30, 2023, the company's second product, the Cute Energy Cube, was launched."

Gardevoir understood that the higher her efficiency in the simulator, the faster her strength would improve in the real world.

Xia Chen chuckled, "Alright, then I'll go down and prepare a farewell feast for you."

Garchomp: "."

Zoroark shook his head as well. The last hunt for that intelligent dream monster had consumed too many soul fragments, and now he had to work hard to replenish the few soul fragments he had left.

Xia Chen joked, "Am I not anymore?"

…………

That means increasing your strength, or, in this world's terms, increasing your level.

Although both are simulated worlds, the Greenery region and the Labyrinth World offer completely different simulation experiences.

…………

Actually, there's no need to do anything special. Just showing what they do when they're being lazy in their daily lives is enough to satisfy the audience.

Xia Chen's abacus beads were practically bouncing off her face, but how could Xirona, being so clever, not realize it?

Cynthia's swimsuit is quite conservative, a one-piece swimsuit with more fabric than a school swimsuit, but this does not diminish Cynthia's charm in the slightest.

That's irresponsible towards the future you want.

Jiang Qian said simply, "Okay, then I won't beat around the bush. Let me first report on the company's financial report for last year."

But life goes on.
