Elf Trader: My trump card is the Light/Dark Mantis.

0…Requesting flowers…

Even if the injury was treated as such.

Incaros was still quite frustrated as it called out to its trainer and Sagros.

“Carlo.”

“Carlo…”

Because it tries to express too much at once.

Jiang Gu only learned about Scyther's fate after calling out Psychic Nono...

After Incaros entered the trial, it was quite easy at first; he dealt with the five evil spirit beasts, each strike fatal...

We can easily take them down!

But then it was all over. Evil spirits surged in like a tidal wave, and the second wave consisted of 100 of them!

Wave 3, 1000!

Incaros risked his life, but he only managed to hold on until the very beginning of the third wave!

The previous hundred evil spirit beasts had already exhausted it!

It then lost consciousness and was teleported back.

Incaros looked like he felt sorry for Jiang Gu.

“Carlo.”

“Carlo.”

SuperNONO then translated.

"It says—it has wasted precious resources and failed to evolve itself."

"But it seems I've gotten a bit stronger after defeating the evil spirit beast..."

Incaros was clearly very guilty.

Jiang Gu, on the other hand, didn't care.

Expecting to succeed on the first try is wishful thinking...

However, he was prepared that the 10,000 points would go down the drain.

But judging from what Incaros said, it seems that defeating enemies in the trial also resulted in an improvement?

Then maybe we won't lose money?

Jiang Gu pondered for a moment and then casually opened the Data Eye.

But none of Incaros's data changed...

The only difference is...

The system generated a notification.

[Incaros's base stats have been increased from 640 to 642]

"Ok?"

Jiang Gu was stunned.

Base stats are, in a sense, the biggest boost a Pokémon gets after evolving. Of course, some Pokémon can only master powerful moves after evolving...

As for Shadow Warrior Sargeras, his base stat total is 655.

Incaros' original evolution was a leap forward, with its base stats directly increasing to 750 points!

Therefore, Jiang Gu simply cannot afford the resources required for this mantis to evolve.

But this Trial of Light seems rather interesting...

Incaros can slowly increase its base racial power by killing enemies, which means that when this elf increases its base stat to 750 points.

Its power is probably strong enough to truly break through this trial and evolve to the next stage!

When you calculate it that way, the Trial of Light is a really good deal!

Get Incaros a free power boost, plus real combat experience!

Of course, this is only worthwhile if the Light Mantis has to fight to its death and push itself to the limit every time it enters the room!

Of course, Jiang Gu is not worried about this.

Incaros's desire to become stronger is immense!

Jiang Gu also felt slightly relieved.

Once Incaros's base stats reach 655 or higher through continuous participation in trials, it will be comparable to Sagros in Shadow Form!

The only thing it lacks is some powerful skills after super evolution.

This way, we don't have to worry about the Light Mantis getting tilted again... ugh.

Chapter 171: The Digital World

Jiang Gu was actually quite satisfied with the result, so his previous expenditure of 1 points was not in vain.

Incaros's evolution path has also become clear: just keep spending money to participate in trials.

The annoying thing is that it evolved into the King form after Sargeras. Even after Sargeras evolved, it maintained its current form, only able to increase its base stats to achieve roughly the same combat power, but lacking in movesets...

But in the end, Incaros will rise from the ashes!

Both the Light of Punishment and the Battle Frenzy forms have a base stat total of 750.

He is even stronger than the Holy King, Sagros.

The latter has a base stat total of only 730.

In other words, the Light Mantis needs to lie low for a while, lacking powerful skills, but it will eventually shine with unparalleled brilliance!

Overwhelm the dark mantis.

Incaros will ultimately be a step above Sargeras!

Jiang Gu shared everything he knew with the two Pokémon, Light and Dark Mantis.

Incaros quickly nodded calmly, indicating that he understood.

It still felt somewhat uncomfortable.

If nothing unexpected happens, "693" will likely remain a step behind Sagros for a long time. However, Incaros's arrogance is understandable; if he slays enough enemies each time he participates in the Trial of Light, he can gain more fundamental improvements.

It can become stronger even faster than Sargeras!

If their base stats are equal, he will definitely be inferior to Sagros, who has more powerful moves.

But what if your own racial stats are even more disadvantageous?

Would that make them evenly matched, or even stronger than Dark Mantis without evolving?

Incaros proudly believed that he had such an ability!

Regardless of what the mantis has figured out.

Seeing that it had returned to normal, Jiang Gu nodded with satisfaction.

He then arranged for the spirit, which had just undergone trials, to rest, while he prepared to take Sagros to explore the Digimon world.

He wasn't in a hurry to go to the New World to collect Digimon and continue being a spirit trader; instead, he wanted to first investigate the situation in the New World.

Jiang Gu wanted to know exactly how fast time flowed over there, and whether he could use Kama to quickly collect energy and create endless energy.

Of course, it's also worthwhile to catch one or two Digimon along the way.

We can verify whether the market for Digimon is large in the Pokémon world, since these creatures have the drawback of having too few skills.

Jiang Gu made a decision but did not prepare to set off immediately.

He sat in the training room for a while longer, until late at night, to make sure Xiao Lan was asleep, before leaving the space transfer station.

Jiang Gu's thinking was that the Digital World had never been explored before, and they didn't know which timeline of that world they would end up in...

Just to be safe, don't do anything reckless, otherwise things could get really messed up if you happen to run into a war-torn period in the fourth season of the Digital World.

Jiang Gu decided to wait until he had confirmed the situation there before bringing Xiao Lan along.

As he pondered this, he stepped out of the space transfer station and discovered that the starry sky, which was originally part of the Seer Universe, had been divided!

Two distinct cracks suddenly appeared in the universe, dividing it into new zones.

And in the world carved out by these two cracks, all that can be seen is a lonely planet not far away...

"This must be the digital world."

Jiang Gu nodded slightly.

He then boarded the spaceship, set it to autopilot, and began to rest with his eyes closed.

About two hours later...

The spaceship successfully arrived above the planet where the Digimon exist.

This time, Jiang Gu won't need to wear the nanosuit anymore; humans can survive in the Digimon world...
