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

"As expected, there was no sign of directly using talent enhancement..."

Lu Shouchun, who had been observing Muyun the whole time, murmured to himself.

Even a Beedrill with the Sniper ability, using a STAB Bug-type move, is not enough to defeat Gyarados in two hits when fighting against a monster of the same level but with a type disadvantage.

Clearly, this Beedrill's moves are incredibly powerful, far beyond what is reasonable.

If nothing unexpected happens, this child is definitely a naturally gifted individual who has been nurtured in some way.

She does resemble Duoduo a bit, no wonder they can play together...

After confirming the answer, Lü Shouchun's brows relaxed.

The Flame Emperor Alliance does have its share of those who can be nurtured into talented individuals.

The most famous among them is Zhou Shijin, the second-ranked of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Northern Region.

The mutated power of dragon control, besides providing temporary boosts, can also make dragon-type spirits raised from a young age far stronger than their peers.

Dragon-type spirits are already powerful, but with the added power of his mutated dragon-riding ability, they become even more formidable.

He is also widely recognized as the most likely successor to the league championship.

However, Lü Shouchun felt that the probability was not high. At least before the current league president Zhou Jiuge stepped down, it was unlikely that Zhou Shijin would take the position of league champion.

It's not that we lack the ability, but in a sense, it is indeed because we lack the ability.

Having confirmed his suspicions, Lü Shouchun had no intention of staying any longer.

If she hadn't been worried about the crowds during the day causing unnecessary disturbances, she wouldn't have waited until now to come over.

When Lü Shouchun was leaving, Chi Duoduo naturally bid farewell to Mu Yun with reluctance.

After saying goodbye to Wang He and Mu Yun with a smile, Yue Jianguo also left with Yan Hu and Lü Shouchun.

After the others left, Mu Yun glanced at the night sky where the setting sun had disappeared, but chose not to stay any longer.

Perhaps another lucky Gyarados will appear, but it's almost impossible to collect ten.

Therefore, Mu Yun naturally wouldn't insist on staying.

"Once the money for handing over Gyarados arrives, I will transfer it directly to the card number you used last time."

After dropping Mu Yun off in the city, Wang He told him, "Don't come to school tomorrow. Have a good rest."

After the monthly exam, there was a fixed three-day holiday. On the first day, they spent the whole day by the river enjoying the river breeze and hunting a lot of Gyarados. Wang He naturally felt that Mu Yun should take a good rest.

Although Mu Yun didn't feel tired, he didn't refuse and nodded in agreement.

Taking a day off is fine too; it's a good opportunity to buy more berries and grind for experience points in crafting Power Blocks.

After parting ways with Wang He, Mu Yun quickly returned home.

Although it was completely dark, it was only a little past seven o'clock.

After a quick bite, Mu Yun couldn't wait to turn his attention to the storage space.

What's the purpose of letting the river wind blow all day?

Is it the generous League Coin reward for catching Gyarados?

No, not at all. Mu Yun's goal has always been the same—

Evolution Essence Fragments!!

"Exactly eighty evolution essence fragments can be combined to create eight evolution essences, increasing base stats by 80 points, which is almost equivalent to a Mega Evolution."

"No, it's even more powerful than Mega Evolution, since it's permanent, unlike Mega Evolution."

Looking at the fragments in the storage space, Mu Yun was in a great mood.

"System, settle short-term mission 7: Leaping over the Dragon Gate." He said impatiently to himself.

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

[Ding! Short-term mission 7 - Leaping Over the Dragon Gate mission rewards are being settled...]

[Ding! Settlement complete. Congratulations, host, you have obtained 80 Evolution Essence Fragments. Fragment synthesis in progress... Synthesis complete. Please check your inventory!]

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

As the system notification sounded, Mu Yun noticed that the originally illusory fragments of evolution essence in the storage space began to shimmer and gradually solidify under the influence of an invisible force.

Immediately afterwards, beams of dazzling white light, resembling an evolution, lit up the gaps between the fragments.

Soon, the eight evolution essences were synthesized and lay quietly in the storage space.

They are entirely silver-white, neither gold nor jade, and are shaped like a five-pointed star with a crown-like golden symbol in the center.

As Mu Yun activated his Data Eye, a message came into view.

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

[Evolution Essence: A special essence born from the Land of Miracles, allowing Pokémon to undergo a transformation comparable to evolution. When absorbed by a Pokémon with a base stat total below 500, it permanently increases its two highest base stats by 5 points each. There is no limit to the amount a single Pokémon can absorb.]

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

As mentioned in the previous mission description, Evolution Essence can increase the base stats of Pokémon with a base stat below 500 by 10 points.

Furthermore, it's not just random growth; it's added to the two highest racial stats, making it a prime example of targeted enhancement!

So here's the question: who should get this?

The three Pokémon he has—Beedrill (Xiaodu), Pidgeotto (Nami), and Vulpix (Alolan) (Bingbing)—are all useful.

Theoretically speaking, using it on Namikaze and Ice who haven't reached their final evolved form is the most effective way to maximize their effect, which also allows them to have a higher potential.

However, Xiao Du was, after all, his first spirit. Although he tried his best to treat everyone equally in life, he still couldn't help but think of Xiao Du at this time.

I think of how I first emerged from my eggshell in the summer; I think of how I longed for him to train with me every day, to cheer me on; I think of how he clearly didn't understand why we had to run, yet he still diligently and earnestly worked his way up...

Even putting all that aside, the fact that Xiao Du's final base stats are only 395 points, which is far inferior to Pidgeot's Namikaze form and Ninetales' (Alolan) Icebeam form, makes him biased.

"Sigh, if only there were more evolution essences..."

Mu Yun sighed, his mind lingering on the evolutionary essence within his storage space.

To be honest, this thing looks pretty good. I just wonder what it feels like to touch. It's a shame we probably can't even get it out of the house...

Just then, Mu Yun felt a smooth, jade-like sensation in his palm.

He subconsciously looked down and what he saw was none other than the evolution essence that had just been in his storage space!

"Huh? This thing is actually a physical object?"

Mu Yun played with the evolution essence, muttering something in surprise.

The previous move memory orbs and energy cube recipe memories, although visible to the naked eye, are actually non-physical things.

You can see and use it, but you can't touch it or take it out.

He had assumed that the essence of evolution would be the same, but he never expected that this time it would be a physical object.

and many more......

The actual product!!

Could it be that...?

The slogan of the points redemption mall reappeared in Mu Yun's mind:

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

[The points redemption shop will now offer all non-living items that the host has seen in the real world. You can purchase them an unlimited number of times using your points!]

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

In the real world, all the inanimate objects I've ever seen...

If the system's storage space is not considered part of the real world, then is the evolution essence that is now in his hands considered an item from the real world?

With anticipation in mind, Mu Yun opened the points redemption shop and scrolled down to the last page.

The silver-white five-pointed star with a golden crown is now quietly sitting in the last column of the points redemption shop.

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

[Evolutionary Essence: A special essence born from the land where miracles arise...]

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

Holy crap, it really exists!!!

Mu Yun couldn't help but widen his eyes, his gaze filled with disbelief.

How can something this awesome be listed?

Tongzi, you're amazing!
