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

After leaving the hotel, Mu Yun, as usual, scanned a shared bicycle from the Garlic Toad brand.

Although only the setting sun remained on the horizon, the streets of Changqing City were still filled with people.

When Mu Yun arrived at the Asia-Europe Supermarket, he found that there were quite a few people inside.

Some were families of three, some were traveling together, and some, like Mu Yun, were leisurely strolling alone – a true reflection of the diverse aspects of life.

After a brief sigh, Mu Yun headed straight for the area where the energy cube maker was sold.

"Junior?"

Just as Mu Yun was carefully selecting, a voice with a hint of inquiry suddenly sounded from behind him.

Mu Yun subconsciously turned around to look.

The first thing you see is a girl with long black hair casually draped over her shoulders, a cute round face, and large black-rimmed glasses.

The girl was not tall, only a little over 1.6 meters. She was wearing a cream-colored sweatshirt with a Jigglypuff print, and behind her followed a pink and white elf who was also not tall but had a very cute appearance—Jigglypuff.

"Senior Siyao?"

Looking at the girl's signature large black-rimmed glasses and the chubby little dog peeking out from behind her, Mu Yun recognized the person in front of him at a glance.

She is none other than Deng Siyao, an online millionaire and a graduate student majoring in Energy Cube at Changqing University!

"What are you doing here? Isn't it during the provincial joint exams? Instead of preparing for the exams, why are you here looking at the energy cube making machine?"

As Deng Siyao looked at Mu Yun's face, which was even more handsome than in the picture, she asked curiously.

This is Wa Xuedi (a nickname), and he looks even better in person than in the online pictures!

I wonder what the junior's abs feel like to touch. Are they firm? I kind of want to touch them...

Deng Siyao felt a pang of jealousy, but her face remained impassive, behaving like a well-behaved girl.

"The group stage just ended, and I figured I had some free time to check out the Power Cube Maker."

Mu Yun said.

"Want to see the Energy Cube Maker?"

Deng Siyao blinked, her eyes suddenly lighting up beneath her dark circles. She grinned and said, "Junior, have you finally decided? Ready to study cultivation with me? I happen to have some free time today, so I'll help you pick out the perfect beginner's tool!"

"By the way, what's your budget?"

Deng Siyao remembered that her junior from elementary school didn't come from a well-off family. She guessed that he had received a scholarship from the school, which was why he had extra money.

"Around 200,000, no more than 300,000 is fine."

Before coming, Mu Yun had done his homework and found that the best energy cube maker on the market was around this price.

The higher-priced items are all pre-orders, and it's very difficult to find them in stock.

"So many?"

Deng Siyao was taken aback, looking at Mu Yun with some suspicion: "Junior, you didn't sell yourself, did you?!"

No, you'll make Mengmeng sad if you do that!

Besides, why ask someone else? I can ask my senior!

I'm super rich!

"What are you selling? I earned this through my own abilities. Isn't the provincial champion's reward 500,000 Alliance Coins? I'm going to go all out and buy the best one." Mu Yun said with a dark expression.

Honestly, how could a fine young man like him submit to a rich woman for a paltry sum of money!

Unless she is fair-skinned, beautiful, young, gentle, considerate, and has abundant offspring... the kind that only exists in dreams.

"That's good, that's good."

Hearing Mu Yun's words, Deng Siyao breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, her junior is still single, so she still has the opportunity to buy—no, I mean, to persuade him to apply to Evergreen University so they can do research together!

However, on the other hand, the provincial champion?

Is this junior student really capable?

Deng Siyao recalled the family members from prominent families who matched her age: Uncle Lü's daughter seemed to be eighteen this year, the pretty little monster from the Liu family seemed to be too, the tall guy from the Lin family seemed to be taking the college entrance exam next year, the Xu family...

Before long, a whole host of faces she had interacted with floated into Deng Siyao's mind.

She met most of them when her aunt took her to banquets.

Although they were only nodding acquaintances, she had learned about their abilities from other people's casual conversations.

Especially that little monster from the Liu family, whose strength is said to be ridiculously exaggerated, and who is hailed as the pride of Changqing Province, and is expected to become the top scorer in the region in this year's college entrance examination.

And what about their own junior schoolmate?

Born in a small town, an orphan, with no one to rely on, only a Beedrill given to him by the school and a Pidgey caught in the neighborhood, he didn't look like the type to win a championship at all...

Sigh, poor little junior, let your senior warm you up!

"Although you have a sufficient budget, making Power Cubes isn't about using the most expensive machines. Instead of spending a lot of money on machines, you should save up more money to buy Berries and increase your skill level."

"Here's what we'll do. I have an old [Gemstone] Energy Cube crafting kit that I didn't need before. I'll send it to you later, and you can use it as practice," Deng Siyao said.

I've looked into the [Gemstone Brand] Energy Cube crafting set.

This is almost the top brand among energy cube makers, and even the cheapest one, the [White Gem], is hundreds of times more expensive than his previous set.

The effect is naturally much better than his method.

"Although it's an old item, it's still about 70-80% new. After all, I'm a genius at making energy cubes, and I've kept the machine in excellent condition."

At this point, Deng Siyao looked quite smug, clearly very proud of her talent.

"I'll give you some of my previous study notes later. Take a look at them first, and feel free to ask me if you don't understand anything."

"As for the price, you can just pay for the shipping (cash on delivery). The machine itself is used and won't fetch much, so I won't charge you for it. Just help me rank up later!"

Deng Siyao settled the matter in just a few words.

In her words, the energy cube maker, worth at least hundreds of thousands, was like some worthless trinket.

Suddenly, Mu Yun had a deeper understanding of the wealth of this "little steamed bun" senior.

As for the fact that secondhand items are worthless?

It depends on what kind. These high-end energy cube maker machines are always in short supply. If they are well maintained, their performance will not be affected, so they will not be discounted.

It's just that people who can afford machines at this price point rarely sell them secondhand.

Giving away something so expensive so readily, that's incredibly generous of them!

It made him a little embarrassed.

How about I use my looks tonight and keep my senior company?

I must say, the senior's round face is quite cute.

No, how could I have such a self-destructive thought? I've awakened the Heavenly Reward System, not the system of having many children and many blessings.

Rich women and all that, can't stop me from moving forward!

I've decided. I'll wait until I'm more capable before giving my senior a few formulas to use!

It will definitely be a great value for my senior!

After accompanying the senior student who was out shopping for daily necessities for a while, Mu Yun took her back to her single dormitory at school before returning to the hotel.

Halfway through, Deng Siyao wanted to invite him upstairs for a drink of water before he left.

But the dormitory supervisor's stern gaze stopped Mu Yun in his tracks.

So, even though there was a dormitory supervisor, how did Deng Siyao plan to get him upstairs?
