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

"A contest?"

Mu Yun murmured softly.

"That's right, a tournament!" Wang He nodded and said, "Every night from 7 pm to 11 pm, the Qingyun Arena will hold tournaments. There will be different rewards for achieving three, five, and ten consecutive wins."

"The reward for a ten-game winning streak is a basic spirit treasure. However, since the event started, very few people have been able to achieve a ten-game winning streak."

Will you get a Spirit Treasure after playing ten consecutive matches?

After hearing Wang He's words, Mu Yun's eyes lit up.

A ten-game winning streak is a difficult thing for ordinary people, even geniuses.

Unless one has traits like overconfidence, playing ten matches in a row would be physically exhausting, let alone winning them all.

But these were all trivial matters for Mu Yun.

He's not afraid of anyone at the same level, or even someone at a higher level!

"The difficulty of this event is not just the physical exertion, but the most crucial points are the third, fifth and tenth rounds."

As Mu Yun was pleasantly surprised, Wang He continued.

"If it's just about winning ten matches of the same level, that's actually quite easy. As long as you build up your form in the first few matches, you can easily push the team down. So, Qingyun Arena will change the strength of the players at these three points."

"Take your Beedrill as an example. In the first two matches, because you are a rookie trainer, you will be battling against normal-level Pokémon. But starting from the third match, they will match you with Pokémon of corresponding strength based on the specific strength your Beedrill demonstrates."

"In other words, the monsters you'll be fighting next are likely to be veteran-level Pokémon, and there's a possibility they'll be mid-to-late stage veteran-level ones!"

Wang He said in a low voice.

Although he knew that Beedrill was exceptionally strong, possessing stats comparable to a veteran Pokémon.

Ultimately, it's just a matter of matching attack and speed; stamina is still a weakness.

Furthermore, Beedrill is not known for its stamina, making its chances of winning in consecutive battles even slimmer.

The reason he brought Mu Yun here was not because he hoped Mu Yun would achieve a ten-game winning streak.

That's unrealistic.

His main goal was to let Mu Yun experience the outside world so that he wouldn't become complacent just because he was invincible in a small place.

Senior-level mid-to-late game?

Listening to Wang He's words, Mu Yun really wanted to say that the burrowing rabbit they encountered yesterday was at the peak of the senior level.

A mere veteran-level mid-to-late game opponent? Isn't that easy to beat?

Of course, Mu Yun only thought about it and didn't say it out loud.

After all, there is a difference between wild Pokémon and domesticated Pokémon. Who knows what kind of sneaky tactics your opponent might use? To be on the safe side, it's best to be cautious.

As they were talking, the taxi arrived at the entrance of the Qingyun Arena.

This is a freestanding building over thirty meters high, covering a large area. Its exterior is predominantly white and green, giving it a distinctive, vibrant, and elegant feel.

Welcome to Qingyun Arena!

As you enter the arena, a man in work clothes walks up to you.

"I've booked a match tonight!"

Wang He handed over a light green card.

"Okay, sir, we'll check for you right away!" The staff member took the card, processed it for a moment, and then handed it back.

"Your scheduled challenge will begin at 8 PM tonight. Also, please follow our staff to the testing room for examination."

"Don't worry, it's just a simple test of the Pokémon's data to help you find opponents of similar strength." As he spoke, he pointed to another male staff member.

"Are pre-match tests being conducted now?"

Upon hearing the staff's words, Wang He murmured, "I never expected that after more than ten years, the matchmaking mechanism of Qingyun Arena would be so much better, and they even know about pre-match testing."

only......

Thinking about the level of Mu Yun's Beedrill, Wang He suddenly felt that this kind of test was actually more beneficial.

Since Beedrill's high damage output is due to its sniper-like characteristics, its damage against machines will only be lower, and its early matchmaking opponents will be weaker.

In this way, even if we can't achieve a ten-game winning streak, getting a seven or eight-game winning streak shouldn't be a problem.

Soon, Mu Yun followed the staff to a testing room made of special metal.

There were all sorts of targets inside, as well as machines he couldn't understand.

"Please release the Pokémon you will be using in the battle," the staff member reminded.

Upon hearing this, Mu Yun released Xiao Du.

"Please attack the three targets in front of you. You do not need to use any special moves during the attack; just use normal attacks."

Normal attack?

Hearing the staff member's words, Mu Yun felt a strange sensation.

Don't be fooled by how easily the Digger Rabbit can defeat a seasoned, top-tier opponent; that's only because of the move descriptions.

Without these attribute bonuses, a normal attack without any attribute enhancement is almost no different from a regular ordinary-level Pokémon.

At most, the flight speed is a bit faster thanks to the [Speed] energy block.

Despite his thoughts, Mu Yun readily gave the order: "Xiao Du, normal speed, attack the target with the bee stinger, no need to unleash any special moves."

"Hiss!"

Little Doji glanced at the target, flapped its wings, and flew over.

Without the speed boost from gathering energy, Xiao Du's speed, while quite fast, isn't exaggerated.

In the monitoring room, which Mu Yun couldn't see, the staff quickly saw the data fed back from the recorder and wrote down five words in the speed column.

Peak of Ordinary Level

Then, after Xiao Du's bee sting hit the target, he wrote down the words "Peak Normal Level" in the attack column.

Finally, in the Beedrill's evaluation section, it was written: "Attack power is the same as a standard normal-class Beedrill, but speed is slightly faster."

Overall assessment: A reasonably well-trained, top-tier Beedrill of the common tier.

"Their speed and reaction time are pretty fast. If they're lucky, they might even get a three-game winning streak and a free meal," the staff member remarked, looking at the data in the spreadsheet.

Having reached a conclusion, the staff member immediately signaled to the male staff member in uniform that the test was over.

"Mr. Mu Yun, thank you for your cooperation. The information has been collected, and we will match you with an opponent for tonight later." The male staff member understood and said with a standard smile.

As he spoke, he skillfully took a bottle of white and green packaged beverage from the freezer next to him and handed it over, saying, "This is a special energy drink made by our Qingyun Arena. It can quickly restore your stamina. It's a thank you gift for your cooperation!"

Are they even giving away energy drinks?

The service at the Qingyun Arena is quite good.

Mu Yun nodded, put Xiao Du back into the ball, and then left with the staff, carrying his drink.

After many twists and turns, Mu Yun finally saw Wang He sitting in the audience.

Although it wasn't time for the official start of the arena battles yet, quite a few people had already arrived in the audience, showing that the event was very popular and well-received.

"Would you like to see their reviews of you?"

Wang He, who was looking at the evaluation data and reviews sent by Qingyun Arena on his phone, asked a question in a strange tone after seeing Mu Yun walk over.

"What did they say?"

Mu Yun was curious about Xiao Du's strength in his normal state.

"Peak of the ordinary level, the training is not bad."

As he spoke, Wang He handed over his phone.

Mu Yun glanced at it but didn't pay it any mind.

After all, without using any special moves, Xiao Du's combat strength is not particularly outstanding.

But how can you not look at the moves when battling Pokémon?

I don't know what Qingyun Arena was thinking.
