Pokémon: Hard work pays off, moves can be upgraded infinitely.

After placing the drowsy Miao Miao aside, Mu Yun wiped his hands with a wet wipe while curiously checking the effects of the new LV3 Universal Massage stat.

First, the effects of the original entries are all doubled, improving finger dexterity, sensitivity of the touched area, finger hardness, and the speed of muscle recovery in the massaged area.

Secondly, there are the newly added terms that most intrigued Mu Yun.

Like the entries for enhancing the freshness of ingredients and identifying the energy distribution of tree fruits, this entry called "Hand of Bliss" is also an active entry.

I don't know what the effect will be...

Thinking it over, Mu Yun focused his attention and looked.

..............................

【Hand of Bliss: Active skill. Consumes stamina to increase the effect of any skill in General Massage. The more stamina consumed, the greater the increase, up to a maximum of double the original effect. Currently, the maximum number of skills that can be doubled simultaneously is 3.】

..............................

"Doubling the effect of the entry?"

Seeing the effect of the Blissful Hand, Mu Yun was slightly surprised.

Although it's not a special effect, this kind of active skill that purely amplifies the effect of the stat is still a very good stat.

Putting aside other things, the muscle recovery speed, which was originally increased by 100%, became 200% under the extreme effect of the Hand of Bliss, and the recovery time was only one-third of the normal time, saving a lot of time.

"So, why is it called the Hands of Bliss? Is it because you feel happy after the massage?"

Mu Yun silently complained to himself.

"Huh? What's wrong with everyone?"

Unbeknownst to her, Song Xiaomeng woke up from the corner of the sofa and looked at the Sun Elves, who were slumped over the sofa, with some confusion.

"It's nothing, they probably just felt too good after I massaged them and wanted to sleep," Mu Yun explained.

"Is it really that comfortable?" Song Xiaomeng looked at the Sun Elf, who was squinting and not even watching variety shows, and was filled with curiosity.

But she didn't dwell on it too much. Recalling the plan she had just come up with in her mind, she casually walked over to Mu Yun's side while massaging her shoulders.

"Well, Xiaoyun, your massage skills are so good, why don't you give me a massage? My shoulders have been a bit sore lately."

Seeing Song Xiaomeng approaching, Mu Yun didn't refuse.

It doesn't matter who you massage, it's a good opportunity to see if massaging others will increase your experience points.

Since he wasn't an elf, Mu Yun didn't use any essential oils. After wiping his hands clean, he simply put his arm around Song Xiaomeng's shoulder.

Then......

"!!"

Song Xiaomeng froze, then sprang up from the chair and rushed into the bathroom without looking back.

Mu Yun stared blankly at his palm, then at the chair that was slightly reflective under the light, and suddenly didn't know what to say.

He swore that he really just wanted to see the effects of the new affixes because his skill had just been upgraded, and doubled all the effects except for finger hardness.

I only massaged his shoulder for less than two minutes, how could this happen...?

Coming to his senses, Mu Yun picked up a wet wipe and wiped the chair.

When Song Xiaomeng came out of the bathroom, her cheeks and forearms were flushed, perhaps because of the hot water. When she saw Mu Yun, who wanted to speak, she didn't dare to turn her head and ran straight back to her room, slamming the door shut.

Clearly, the scene she had just witnessed made her feel ashamed and she had no idea how to face Mu Yun.

Mu Yun touched his nose somewhat awkwardly.

He felt that, in the future, this term should not be used on people unless absolutely necessary.

After all, compared to elves, human skin is far more sensitive...

The night passed in silence between the two.

The next morning, because he had to go to class, Mu Yun got up very early. After making breakfast for Song Xiaomeng and the Sun Elf, he left with Xiao Du and Bo Feng.

Just as Mu Yun left, the sound of the door opening came from Song Xiaomeng's room.

At this moment, she had large dark circles under her eyes, clearly indicating that she hadn't slept much all night.

"Xiaoyun..."

Looking out the window at Mu Yun riding away on his bicycle, Song Xiaomeng murmured softly, then sat back down in the chair where she had received the massage yesterday, curling her legs up, lost in thought.

..............................

Unaware that Song Xiaomeng had already woken up, Mu Yun had already grabbed his books and a change of clothes from home and was heading to school.

As for the Alola Vulpix's egg, he placed it in an incubator filled with Ice-type nutrient solution.

Mu Yun checked her status with his Data Eye and found that there were still more than five days until hatching, so she could only stay at home for the time being.

After setting up the incubator, Mu Yun rode a shared electric bicycle to the school.

A typical day at school was the same as the previous two weeks: going to the gravity lab in the morning, then classes, receiving the adoption certificate for the alien-shaped Pokémon from Liu Jianhao, followed by training, cooking in the cafeteria, more classes, more training, extra training in the gravity lab in the evening, and a massage at the infirmary...

After saying goodbye to Liu Jianhao and the others, Mu Yun quickly rode the Spray Turtle brand shared electric scooter home.

After arriving home, Mu Yun first let the two little ones out, had a simple dinner, and then checked on the condition of the Alola Vulpix egg.

After confirming that everything was alright, Mu Yun went to the bedroom and took out the two secret treasures from his storage space.

He stayed at Song Xiaomeng's house last night, and with the Liushui incident, he hadn't had any time to think about the arrangement of the two treasures. After that, he had to go to school and training.

First is that basic treasure – Cave Rock.

It's a Ground-type battle-boosting artifact with pretty good effects. Almost every Ground-type Pokémon can use it. If you were to sell it, it would definitely fetch a million League Coins.

But after thinking about it, Mu Yun decided to exchange it for 12000 energy points.

Because the Alliance Coins promised by Chu Weihe had been deposited into his account that morning, totaling 27 Alliance Coins. In addition to 7 as a thank you, there were 20 as a reward from above, accounting for 20% of the wanted poster's reward.

With this money, his need for Alliance Coins is not great in the short term. Rather than selling them for money, he might as well exchange them for Energy Points to increase his strength.

As for that inferior treasure called "Broken Hard Shell," Mu Yun hesitated.

If converted to energy points, this thing is only worth 900 points, but if sold, it would be worth around 100,000 Alliance Coins, or even more.

About eight or nine of them can be worth the price of a complete beginner-level treasure, and the key is that you will get more energy points this way.

But after thinking it over, Mu Yun finally gave up on the idea.

Firstly, he lacks a stable channel for acquiring damaged treasures, and it's uncertain how long it would take to accumulate enough low-quality treasures.

Secondly, the Elf Treasure isn't something you can just buy whenever you want. At least, he didn't see it for sale at the Asia-Europe Supermarket in Songjiang City. If he wanted to buy it, he'd probably have to go to Changqing City, the provincial capital.

Therefore, Mu Yun decided to exchange both treasures for energy points. He would use the larger amount to increase the experience points for the fitness exercise, and the smaller amount to upgrade the Free Eagle Language to LV3 to see how effective it would be.

With this in mind, Mu Yun held the two treasures in his palm.

..............................

[Ding! Detected that the host has come into contact with a materialized spirit treasure—Cave Rock (Beginner)/Broken Hard Shell (Beginner). Would you like to exchange it for 12000/900 energy points?]

..............................

"yes!"

As Mu Yun silently recited the command, the empty energy point column instantly increased from 0 to 12900!

With over 10,000 energy points, he could upgrade his fitness exercise to LV4 and, incidentally, his free-flowing eagle language to LV3.

I wonder what the effects will be after upgrading the two skills...
