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

As night deepened, the moon came out.

The clear moonlight spilled onto the quiet buildings, and every corner of the world became incredibly quiet under its cool glow.

But when it tried to enter a living room through a glass window, it was melted away by the warm light inside.

Lively music was playing in the living room, and excited commentary could be heard from time to time, making it sound like some kind of competition was going on.

"This Scyther is something else; it can even take down a Blazing Ape with its type advantage."

Mu Yun sat cross-legged on the sofa, watching the match commentary on TV while massaging Unicorn, who had just finished taking a bath.

At this moment, the screen freezes on the scene where Scyther defeats Ape and wins.

The half-burnt, broken wings, the charred, blackened skin, and the fearless, resolute gaze all trembled in the heart of the tiny unicorn beetle.

This is how big insects should be!

"Ugh! Ugh!!"

"You want to become a flying praying mantis?"

Having spent so much time together, Mu Yun has come to understand the general meaning behind the various calls of the unicorn beetle.

Yesterday I saw Heracross dominating the battlefield, and I wanted to evolve into Heracross.

Seeing the resolute and handsome appearance of Scyther today makes me want to evolve into Scyther.

That's just childish behavior; they act on a whim.

Baby, you are a unicorn beetle, and you will only evolve into a beetle in the future.

Although he had a thousand words in his mind, Mu Yun ultimately didn't say them.

It's like when we were kids, we wanted to become... no, I mean, astronauts, scientists, doctors, knights-errant, or something like that.

A childhood should be filled with all sorts of wild and imaginative thoughts.

So Mu Yun didn't criticize the unicorn worm's unrealistic ideas, but just smiled and rubbed his little head, saying, "Train hard, and when you grow up, you'll be even better than them!"

"Ugh!!"

The unicorn nodded seriously, then shook its head.

He didn't want to become Heracross or Scyther; he wanted to become someone stronger than them, stronger than all the Pokémon!

One day, he will stand on that glittering awards stage with his master!

When the time comes, I must make the owner cook something even tastier than chili omelet and chili stir-fried meat!

Watching the unicorn beetle shake its head and wag its adorable body, sometimes with a determined look in its eyes and sometimes with a dreamy, shining gaze, Mu Yun shook his head helplessly.

I have no idea what this guy is brainstorming about; he's practically drooling.

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

[Ding! Host has completed a thorough massage, skill experience points +10!]

【通用按摩（LV1，40/100）→通用按摩（LV1，50/100）】

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

10 experience points gained, only five massages away from leveling up.

Unfortunately, experience points are only gained from full-body massages performed after training at noon and in the evening; simple kneading at other times does not grant any experience.

I don't know what this judgment mechanism is.

Does the person receiving a massage have to be completely exhausted?

Why not try working for Aunt Wang next door, who has a sore back and aching muscles after a long day of work?

Let's just forget about it. A massage at your doorstep without your knowledge feels like things are going to get out of control.

50 experience points, it'll only take about three days, not a long time.

Coming to his senses, Mu Yun suddenly remembered the afternoon's training and looked down at the unicorn worm nestled on him.

"By the way, Xiao Du, when you train with Bobo tomorrow, don't rush to use the web-slinging attack. Try using normal web-slinging attacks and practice blocking movement."

"Hmm?"

The unicorn turned its head, seemingly puzzled.

If wire mesh is so useful, why not use it?

Also, what does "block movement" mean?

Seeing the unicorn's confusion at a glance, Mu Yun patiently explained:

"The so-called blocking movement is to use moves to attack the area around the target, forcing the opponent to move according to your intention. This exercise can help you better judge the target's movement trajectory and increase the probability of subsequent moves hitting successfully."

"As for the silk-spitting net, it's not that you can't use it, but it's best to wait until the end of the training, when you feel your energy is running low, before you use the silk-spitting net."

"Firstly, relying too much on moves with a wide coverage area is not conducive to controlling the precision of the moves. Secondly, hidden killing moves can often put more pressure on the target. Frequent use will only allow the opponent to gradually adapt. Only by mixing them into ordinary silk-spitting attacks can they have a surprising effect."

Mu Yun remembered to talk to Unicorn about this matter, and in addition to the reasonable reasons mentioned above, there was also the issue of increasing proficiency.

With Bobo as a sparring partner, the proficiency gain is four times greater, but if you use a single move to target the enemy, the four-fold buff will be sealed.

One web-spitting move can tie up Bobo for over an hour, severely hindering the growth of his skill proficiency.

From a long-term perspective, using normal silk-spitting attacks as much as possible can not only help you practice your moves more accurately, but also give you four times the experience points, which is definitely killing two birds with one stone!

"Ugh!!"

After listening to Mu Yun's explanation, Unicorn Beetle seemed to be deep in thought.

Simply put, it's about deliberately preventing the bird from spitting silk and hitting it, so that it flies according to its own ideas.

Playing with birds? This training is interesting!

Hehe~~

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

The next day, early in the morning.

An enticing aroma wafted from Mu Yun's kitchen.

A new day naturally begins with a delicious breakfast.

The unicorn still practices spinning silk after meals.

It has to be said that the Pokémon's growth rate is really fast. This is only the fourth day of training, and he can already release Silk Shot twenty times in a row with ease.

On the first day, we did ten repetitions per set, with a break in between.

In comparison, Mu Yun felt that his progress was indeed much slower.

My physical fitness level remains at 13, and my gymnastics proficiency is still a long way from being upgraded.

The dream of hand-to-hand combat with superhuman strength is even more distant.

Compared to that, Chi Duoduo, whose hand-to-hand combat skills rival those of a monstrous strength, seems to have an easier time.

Shaking his head, Mu Yun banished the strange thoughts from his mind.

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

[Ding! The unicorn has used Silk Shot, skill level +1!]

[Ding! The unicorn beetle sensed the host's sincere emotions and passion, and has gained a deeper understanding of the move "Silk Spit," with an additional +1 level of proficiency!]

[Spraying Silk (Perfect, 218/1000) → Spraying Silk (Perfect, 220/1000)]

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

After twenty silk-spinning training sessions, 40 experience points were easily earned.

Including the 80 experience points I got from Bobo at noon and the 40 experience points I got in the evening, it will only take five days to break through to the perfect level.

At that time, summer vacation was only halfway over.

Surprisingly, 1000 proficiency points seem like a lot, but they actually increase quite quickly.

I have to say, the double experience points in Yanhuang language are really awesome!

"Come on, Xiao Du, let's go for a run!"

"Ugh!!"
