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

"Is that all...?"

Mu Yun followed Liu Hesheng around the Tongyou Secret Realm for a while, and seeing that no new abilities were captured, he did not stay any longer.

Back in the hall, after getting the Gastly's Pokémon egg, Mu Yun and Qu Ning left the secret realm and walked out of the Liu Family Manor.

"See you again sometime!"

After Qu Ning drove Mu Yun back to Changqing City, she said goodbye and then hurriedly left.

After saying goodbye to Qu Ning, Mu Yun went into the station, bought a ticket, and patiently waited for the train to depart.

By late afternoon, Mu Yun had returned to Songjiang City.

"Finally home!"

Looking at the old neighborhood he hadn't been back to for months, Mu Yun felt a long-lost sense of relaxation.

Although the place is remote and the house is small, it is, after all, his home where he has lived for more than ten years. After being away for so long, he really misses it.

"So clean?"

Mu Yun opened the door and was greeted not by a living room that hadn't been cleaned for months and was covered in dust, but by a clean and spotless environment.

Before leaving with Chi Duoduo, he did give his house key to Wang Dan, asking her to look after it for him.

But he didn't expect Wang Dan to clean his house so thoroughly.

After thinking for a moment, Mu Yun didn't rush into the house. Instead, after putting down his luggage, he went to the vegetable market next door.

That evening, Mu Yun visited Wang Dan's home after a long absence and had dinner with her.

He had assumed that Chi Duoduo would be there too, so he bought a lot of ingredients.

As it turned out, he only found out that evening that Chi Duoduo had been called away by Lü Shouchun that morning for continued special training.

But it doesn't matter, given Mu Yun's current physique, his appetite for a meal is almost ten times that of an average person.

No matter how much you make, he can easily finish it all.

"Speaking of which, are humans even allowed to eat energy cubes...?"

After dinner, Mu Yun said goodbye to Wang Dan and returned home. He sat on the sofa in the living room, gently stroking Bingbing's fluffy and cool fur, while pondering to himself.

Although eating more allows him to do more and easily gain experience points, he still has a lot to do every day.

It's actually not so bad to cook in a communal pot in a military camp.

If you're making it in your own small pot at home, it's a bit more troublesome.

In particular, his physical strength will improve, and his appetite in the future is expected to be even more astonishing.

Normally it's not a big deal, but if he goes out, he can't exactly fill his storage space with groceries...

Thinking it over, Mu Yun had a thought, and an ordinary-looking energy cube appeared in his hand.

This is a basic energy cube [Stamina] that he made himself. It increases the maximum stamina after being consumed.

It is the most energy-rich of all the basic energy blocks.

Mu Yun raised his hand and, under Bingbing's strange gaze, put the energy cube into his mouth.

"Chew, chew, chew~~~"

As the energy cube was crushed by teeth, it was sent into the stomach.

A faint warmth gradually emerged in my stomach.

After carefully observing, Mu Yun finally understood why people couldn't eat energy cubes.

Energy cubes are condensed forms of energy. They are not only indigestible for the average person's stomach, but can also irritate and damage the stomach lining.

But Mu Yun was fine, because he was now even more nimble than an elf, and a mere basic energy cube was no problem for him at all.

"It's a pity this stuff doesn't have much flavor."

After trying several different energy blocks, Mu Yun muttered a complaint to himself.

Energy cubes aren't actually bad. If I had to describe them, they're like room-temperature jelly with no flavor, but the texture is quite nice.

Mu Yun was already quite satisfied with this.

After all, this stuff is meant to stave off hunger in critical moments, not to be savored.

After trying it out, Mu Yun prepared to wash up and go to bed.

At that moment, he suddenly realized a problem.

That is, the bedroom is too small; there's simply no room for a few elves.

So, after a few seconds of thought, Mu Yun returned to the Elf Space and fell asleep in the huge wooden bedroom, cuddling Bingbing and Xiaoxin.

It wasn't that Mu Yun favored one over the other; it was just that apart from those two, the other elves were either too big or too hard, making it impossible to hold them while sleeping.

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

The next day.

Mu Yun, true to his original aspiration, scanned a Garlic Toad brand shared bicycle. He still had the discount from his last purchase, and he couldn't let it go to waste.

Riding his bicycle, Mu Yun headed leisurely towards Songjiang No. 1 High School.

As soon as Mu Yun approached the school, he saw several huge red banners hanging at the gate, almost taking up the entire front wall.

There are also words engraved in gilded lettering on it:

"Warmest congratulations to our outstanding student, Mu Yun, for winning the first-ever champion title in the Yanhuang Alliance's Elf Class!!"

"..."

Looking at the four walls of the school and the five identical banners hanging above the main gate, Mu Yun fell silent.

Well, he's proud to bring honor to his alma mater, and he understands that his alma mater should use him for publicity, but hanging five identical banners on such a large scale seems a bit excessive!

Xu Defu: Not an exaggeration, not an exaggeration at all!

If he had the financial means, he would have even wanted to buy up all the GG signs at public bus stops throughout the city for display.

This is the national champion in the Pokémon category, and the first time such a feat has been achieved. For him, this is an incredible stroke of luck.

Seriously speaking, he could even use this to gain direct access to the provincial government.

It's like rising to the top in one step!

To express his gratitude, he even used the connections left by the old man to apply for an extra reward for Mu Yun in the province.

Today, Mu Yun returned to school mainly to collect this reward.

"headmaster!"

Since the college entrance examination was over and it was summer vacation, there were hardly any people on campus, so Mu Yun quickly arrived at the principal's office.

The first thing that catches the eye is Xu Defu, who is sitting in a chair with a ruddy complexion, and Wang He, who is drinking tea at a coffee table.

"Instructor Wang!"

Mu Yun greeted Wang He again.

"I'm back."

Upon seeing Mu Yun, Wang He put down his teacup and, unusually, greeted him with a smile, a rare occurrence for someone who usually has a stern face.

You can tell he's very happy right now.

In fact, he was indeed very happy.

He felt especially comfortable when his old friend from the inspection department congratulated him recently.

"Mu Yun, you're back! Come, come, come, have a seat!"

Upon seeing Mu Yun enter, Xu Defu immediately sprang to his feet, taking three steps at a time, and rushed to his side, beaming with smiles, and warmly pulled Mu Yun to sit on the sofa.

He even personally picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Mu Yun.

"Principal, you're too kind."

Mu Yun accepted the tea that Xu Defu offered.

He was somewhat unaccustomed to the principal's enthusiasm.

Why are grown men doing all this?

Fortunately, Xu Defu seemed to realize that Mu Yun wasn't too keen on this kind of activity, so he didn't linger and immediately turned around and went to a safe.

After a few simple steps, a pinkish-white elf egg was taken out of the incubation device.

"Didn't you always say you wanted a Psychic-type Pokémon? This is something Principal Xu went to great lengths to get for you from the province."

Wang He explained from the side.

Upon hearing this, Mu Yun looked at the elf egg.
