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

According to the document, the provincial league is mainly divided into two parts: the provincial competition, which takes place in the provincial capital Changqing City, and the city-level selection competition, which is held in each city.

Before the city-level selection, each high school selects 10 contestants.

Then, participants from each high school competed to select 15 people to represent their respective cities in the provincial capital.

Their selection process at Songjiang No.1 High School is also among them.

First, all the students in the senior year elite class of the whole school were selected together.

That's right. Although theoretically the twenty students in the small class are the strongest twenty students in Songjiang No.1 High School, in accordance with the principles of fairness, impartiality and openness, it is a necessary process for all students to participate in the selection.

The selection process is quite simple. On the first day of school, data tests will be conducted on shooting and other projects. The top forty will be selected, and then ten suitable people will be selected through a series of battles.

Then, this weekend, they will head to the city's battle arena to compete for a spot in the provincial competition.

The process was simple, and Mu Yun understood it after carefully reviewing it once.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the ten players representing Songjiang No.1 High School will most likely be students from the smaller classes.

With two monthly exams, those with real ability would have already made it into the top class. Those who couldn't get in are clearly not good enough, and no amount of testing will help.

Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Mu Yun glanced at the mission panel again.

"Does 'Provincial League I' mean there's also a Provincial League II...?"

The task requirement for this provincial league I is simply to stand out in the city-level selection. Based on the previous changes in the end-of-month assessment tasks, Mu Yun has reason to suspect that a similar task will appear.

I wonder what the reward will be...

Mu Yun hoped to get more points, but not too many, just enough for Bingbing to consume the full evolution essence and add a top-tier ice stone.

Of course, Mu Yun wouldn't mind having more; it's like Han Xin commanding his troops, right?

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

The next day.

The last day of the three-day holiday.

As usual, Mu Yun arrived at school early for morning exercise, just like on weekends.

It was still the same routine: nuts and dumbbells, starting with gymnastics in the gravity chamber, and ending with gymnastics.

It's worth mentioning that, with the help of the Nut Dumbbell, Xiao Du's Brick Break move successfully reached the Break Limit +2 level, and the Break Limit points also increased by one, reaching 9 points.

He's just one point away from reaching the 10 points needed to break through to the top tier of the King of Potential.

If all goes well, it should be achieved this week.

As for Namikaze, since her newly learned moves, Feather Dance, Agility, and Clear Fog, are not offensive moves, she won't receive the "experience buff" bonus from battling Nut Dumbbell.

Therefore, in order to fully utilize the "experience boost buff", you can only practice other moves that you are more proficient in first.

Despite the high proficiency required for upgrading, thanks to the "experience buff" and the current energy and stamina reserves, I was able to successfully upgrade Wind Rising to Limit Break +3.

An additional limit-breaking point has been added.

Another ordinary day has passed.

The next day was the start of the school term.

Because of the selection process, classes are suspended today, and all students in the Elf Class are gathering at the school gymnasium.

Perhaps because the students in the small classes are used to gathering at the school gymnasium at seven o'clock for morning exercises, many students in the small classes still arrived early, even though the gathering time for this test was eight o'clock.

After they arrived, some of them found a place to warm up with their Pokémon, some seemed to have just remembered that they didn't have class today, so they found a place to catch up on sleep, and some went to the gravity room for morning exercise.

The last one is Mu Yun, who is the only one qualified to go to the gravity room for morning exercise.

The rest of the students, including Wu Tu, still had to do morning exercises with the other students.

There's no way around it; physical training isn't something that happens overnight. They didn't have any cheat codes or magical powers, so their progress naturally wasn't that exaggerated.

Around 7:30, Mu Yun changed his clothes and came to the school gymnasium.

At this time, there were already quite a few people and elves inside the stadium.

"Brother Yun!"

As soon as Mu Yun entered the stadium, he heard Liu Jianhao calling his name.

I miss you so much!

After just a few days apart, Liu Jianhao acted as if he hadn't seen him for years, his expressions quite exaggerated.

"Come on, it's only been a few days. I think you're just missing Brother Yun's cooking!"

It's obvious without even looking that Zhao Hailong was the one mocking Liu Jianhao.

"Tch, as if you don't want to!"

Liu Jianhao curled his lip and said, "Who was it that was dreaming about eating stir-fried mutton with scallions while I was sleeping last night? Their drool almost dripped onto my face, and they still have the nerve to criticize me!"

Because they trained with the security personnel, they spent their holidays in the new recruits' dormitory, which consisted of bunk beds.

Liu Jianhao is below, and Zhao Hailong is above.

"I was just too tired during the day, that's why I was sweating!" Zhao Hailong's dark skin flushed slightly as he stubbornly insisted.

"Garlic birds, garlic birds, life isn't easy for anyone, have a milk candy."

Seeing that they were about to start arguing, Mu Yun skillfully took out a handful of milk candies from his pocket and stuffed them into their hands, trying to persuade them like he was coaxing a child.

I must say, this trick, though old, really works. As soon as the candy was used, the two of them immediately stopped fighting, each took a handful, and quietly started eating.

"Sister Sitong, I feel that Zhao Hailong and Liu Jianhao have a pretty good relationship, so why do they always argue whenever they see Mu Shen?"

Not far away, Sun Xin, who was doing stretching exercises with Ma Sitong, asked with some confusion.

"Probably because I like him but am also shy."

Ma Sitong said casually.

At first she was also puzzled, but after tasting the milk candy that Mu Yun gave her, she understood.

It was assumed that Zhao Hailong and Liu Jianhao were too embarrassed to ask for it every day, but they really liked Mu Yun's milk candy. So, after discovering that Mu Yun would give them milk candy whenever they quarreled, he started repeating the process.

To be honest, if it weren't for her personality, Ma Sitong would have wanted to join as well.

Those milk candies were really delicious; they left a lingering fragrance on your lips and teeth, with a rich milky flavor.

When I eat other desserts, they just don't feel quite right.

"I...I like it!!"

Ma Sitong's words made Sun Xin, who had recently been secretly watching and becoming obsessed with the Sakura series of action-drama movies, blush instantly.

Does liking someone require two people of the opposite sex?

No, that doesn't make sense either. A three-person scenario is quite common, but doesn't that usually require someone to be hiding in a closet or by the bedroom door, or making a phone call...?

Moreover, the three of them are clearly of the same sex...

As she was thinking, Sun Xin subconsciously glanced at Liu Jianhao's face.

It seems that Liu doesn't quite agree either...

Sun Xin's face flushed red, her mind wandering...

Liu Jianhao, unaware of Sun Xin's thoughts, was sitting next to Mu Yun with a milk candy in his mouth.

"Brother Yun, let me tell you, our training these past few days has been incredibly tough. We were even taken on a field training exercise. But guess what? I found a Fire Stone in a cave where a Geodude lives!" Liu Jianhao said with a smug look on his face.

"Found a Fire Stone?"

Mu Yun gave him a strange look.

As far as he knew, there were no major mineral deposits around Songjiang City; the only large quarry was mining Songhua rock.

That's where Wu Tu's father works.

According to Wu Tu himself, his father was a senior minor leader.

To be honest, this was the first time Mu Yun had heard someone introduce their father like this, but considering Wu Tu's personality, it didn't seem strange.

With Wu Tu's introduction, Mu Yun also gained a general understanding of this quarry located dozens of miles outside of Songjiang City.

Many Rock and Ground-type Pokémon live there, such as Geodude, Graveler, Succubus, Diglett, Onix, and so on.

It is said that there were traces of Coco Dora in the past, but no one has been heard of seeing her in recent years.

Putting aside the quarry and whether there are any evolution stone mining sites nearby, isn't it strange that you suddenly find an evolution stone in a cave in the wild?

Even for a trainer who's fallen on hard times, their belongings have probably already been taken by wild Pokémon...

Could it be that...

Mu Yun suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Zhao Hailong beside him.

Zhao Hailong gave him a helpless look that said, "You're right."

Understood!

Mu Yun understood immediately.

"Jianhao, you're so lucky!"

Mu Yun uttered this exclamation again.

Parents who are willing to indulge their children's whims are even rarer than near-gods.

After all, there are just fewer quasi-gods, not that they can't be born.

"Right? I think so too!"

Liu Jianhao grinned, showing his teeth, and nodded at Zhao Hailong beside him, giving him an expression that said, "Brother Yun thinks so too."

Zhao Hailong: Oh right, you're the luckiest!
