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

[Ding! Unicorn Bug (Little Unicorn) has been detected to be at the Elite level. Upgrading it to the Overlord level requires 5 Breakthrough Points. Would you like to upgrade it?]

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

"Only 5 points are needed to upgrade from elite-level potential to overlord-level potential?" Mu Yun was slightly surprised.

It's not that I thought it was a lot, but rather that I didn't expect it to be so little; it's about the same as the mutation enhancement characteristic.

"So, if Bo Feng, with his ordinary-level potential, wants to increase his potential, he shouldn't need many Breakthrough Points..." Mu Yun muttered to himself.

Basic, Senior, Professional, Elite, Overlord, ...

It only takes 5 points to upgrade to the fifth tier of Overlord-level potential, while 1 point is probably enough for the Normal-level.

The only problem is that if the potential is enhanced first, the enhancement of the ability will have to be delayed.

However, it doesn't matter. Judging from the attributes obtained from upgrading the moves, even without the mutation enhancement characteristics, Namikaze's strength will not be weak.

At least, they will definitely not underperform in matches against opponents of the same level.

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

The following time was like pressing the accelerator button. Under a fulfilling and regular plan, Mu Yun and the two little ones were slowly getting stronger.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

That evening, Mu Yun did his usual post-dinner exercise at home.

As the last movement of the aerobics was completed, a system notification sound suddenly rang out.

Immediately afterwards, a faint warm current suddenly welled up from my heart.

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

[Ding! The host has completed one set of the ninth national fitness exercise, skill experience points +1!]

【第九套全民健身操（LV2，99/1000）→（LV2，100/1000）】

[Ding! Through long-term, regular, and diligent training, the host's physical fitness has improved, and their physique level has increased by 1!]

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

"Can I increase my constitution level without leveling up?"

After the warm current dissipated, Mu Yun murmured to himself.

That makes sense, though. His body isn't just data. Even without the system, with the intensity of his daily physical training, his physical fitness would inevitably improve.

However, the speed of improvement is definitely not as fast as cheating.

After figuring it out, Mu Yun stretched his muscles and opened the host panel.

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

Today is the eighteenth day of summer vacation. Through tireless efforts and a little help from the system, he successfully raised his physique to level 14 and his spirit to level 20.

But apart from sleeping better and recovering energy faster, there weren't any other noticeable changes.

There's still a long way to go before we can actually fight elves in melee combat, as we imagine.

"Cherry Blossom Language is just two experience points away from leveling up. I've decided, I won't read the novel tonight, I'll watch two episodes of anime instead."

Thinking about it, Mu Yun picked up a towel and prepared to take a shower in the bathroom.

Just then.

A dazzling white light suddenly flashed in the sofa, and Mu Yun subconsciously looked over.

Little Du, who was watching TV on the sofa, was nowhere to be seen.

No, to be precise, the plump unicorn beetle has disappeared.

Instead, there was a yellow pupa that could not even move, except for its large eyes.

It is the evolved form of the unicorn worm—the iron-shelled pupa!

"Gurgle?"

Xiao Du seemed surprised by his sudden evolution. He lay back on the sofa, staring at the ceiling, and tried to sit up and watch TV.

This is now the most exciting and climax of the final battle after Volcarona's fight against Nido.

He wants to see it!!

Unfortunately, despite his anxiety and desire to get up, he was unable to even roll over on his own, let alone stand upright, because his entire body was encased in a hard shell.

Fortunately, he wasn't alone at home.

Seeing me like this, my master will surely come to help me very soon.

Xiao Du prayed silently in her heart...

Just as he expected, almost the instant the white light dissipated, Mu Yun's face appeared in his field of vision.

"Little Doki, congratulations! You're one step closer to becoming the strongest Beedrill!"

Mu Yun strode over, picked up Xiao Du, weighed him in his hand, and congratulated him with a smile.

"Gurgle~~"

Mu Yun's heartfelt joy overshadowed Xiao Du's anxiety. He moved his mouth, which was covered by his carapace, and managed to produce a sound similar to the clanging of metal.

"The cocoon form will last for about five to seven days, after which you will naturally evolve into the Beedrill form."

As he spoke, Mu Yun bent his fingers and gently tapped Xiao Du's carapace with his knuckles. The sound of his finger bones hitting the carapace was similar to the sound of hitting metal.

"Pop?"

On the other side, Bofeng, standing on the back of the sofa, tilted his head curiously as he looked at Xiaodu, whose appearance had changed drastically.

This was the first time he had witnessed a Pokémon evolve. He had only one thought in his mind: what if he evolved into a giant cocoon like this...?

If he wasn't mistaken, the large insect in this state... the giant cocoon-like pupa, seemed unable to even open its mouth...

What does this mean?

This means that the large silkworm pupae can't even eat solid food!

The thought of spending a long period of his future life looking at sandwiches but never being able to eat them filled Bo Feng with sadness.

As expected, Mu Yun's next words confirmed his guess: "However, in this form, you can't eat much and your mobility is limited. If you need anything, you can ask me and Xiao Feng."

Poor little cocoon, I offer you three seconds of silence.

Seemingly sensing Bo Feng's thoughts, Mu Yun put Xiao Du down, reached out and rubbed Bo Feng's little head, and comforted him with a smile: "Don't worry, your evolved form won't be a cocoon, it won't affect your eating."

As he spoke, Mu Yun picked up his phone and showed Bo Feng photos of Pidgeot and Pidgeot.

"Pop!!"

Upon hearing this, Namikaze instantly regained her energy!

As long as I can eat, that's fine!

By the way, my evolved form is so cool!

Watching the magnificent Hidden Eagle soaring freely in the sky, accompanied by blue skies and white clouds, Namikaze felt a longing for evolution for the first time.

After calming Bo Feng down and straightening Xiao Du on the sofa so he could watch TV, Mu Yun finally had time to check Xiao Du's information panel.

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

Xiao Du's level was upgraded this morning.

I leveled up three times in eleven days and completed the evolution along the way, which is a pretty good progress.

It seems that around the twenty-third or twenty-fourth day of summer vacation, Xiaodu will be able to emerge from its cocoon and become a bee.

There's not much to say about its characteristics; it's just a molting process with limited effectiveness.

In terms of techniques, because Mu Yun had Xiao Du focus on training his poison needles these past few days, his silk-spitting skills have improved only to a limited extent.

That is, after eating the energy cube in the morning, he trains on his own, which is why he has improved.

Compared to the slow-growing silk-spinning technique, the progress of the poison needle technique is significant.

It went straight to the perfect level. If it hadn't evolved suddenly, it would probably have broken through to the limit +1 level in another five days.

If it weren't for the fact that training with poison needles was inconvenient for Namikaze, this time could be reduced by half again.

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

[Poison Needle (Perfect, 240/1000): Poison Needle Toxicity +200%, Poison Needle Solidity +150%, Poison Needle Flight Speed ​​+100%, Power of all own poison-attribute moves +10%]

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

When the Poison Needle breaks through to the Perfect level, it naturally gains three more attributes.

Needless to say, the toxicity is tripled.

The increased solidity of the poison needle is reflected in its increased density, resulting in better penetration; it can almost completely penetrate an ordinary cement wall.

The doubling of flight speed makes the poison needles even more difficult to defend against.

The last affix, which increases the power of all poison-type moves, goes without saying.

Its already terrifying toxicity is now even greater.

To test the effects of the perfect-grade poison needle, Mu Yun specially took Xiao Du to the suburban forest yesterday morning to try it out.

He randomly picked a large tree that looked quite old and had Xiao Du use a poison needle on it.

The purplish-black poison needle pierced the tree trunk at an astonishing speed and disappeared. Then, the part of the tree trunk where the poison needle had pierced the trunk began to turn purplish-black at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Just like ink dropped into clear water, it quickly spreads and diffuses.

In just over ten seconds, a tree that was over ten meters tall and as thick as a person's embrace gradually withered and died.

It wasn't the withered, dry leaves of winter, but a decaying, lifeless state.

To be honest, the power was completely different from the videos he had seen online.

He searched for videos of ordinary beetles using their stingers.

The poison needle can only penetrate the surface of the tree trunk, about half its length, and its power is not great; at most, it will cause some of the bark to die.

There's no such thing as a small tree that can wither and die in just a few seconds.

Clearly, the combined effects of triple toxicity and a 10% increase in power are not simply a matter of doubling the effect.

Similarly, this strengthened Mu Yun's resolve to prevent Xiao Du from using poison-attribute moves easily, especially in formal competitions.

Such a powerful technique would likely be ineffective against most antidotes.

"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. I don't usually need poison needles anyway. I'll go watch anime after I take a shower."

"I wonder what the effects will be after the Cherry Blossom Language is upgraded..."
