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

"That actually works!"

Inside the Elf Space, Mu Yun felt a surge of joy as he sensed the spatial anchor point he had just left in the hotel.

In that case, he might be able to be a little more aggressive tonight!

"Patrick, get ready, let's go get rid of the little mice!"

"Okay, boss!"

"Little Du, the task of guarding the house is entrusted to you!"

"Hiss!"

Mu Yun put the black and white faceless mask back on, his skin bulging rapidly, as if an earth dragon were turning over, and soon transformed from streamlined, lean muscles into a terrifying behemoth.

Once everything was ready, Mu Yun put the shrunken Patrick Star into the inside pocket of his clothes, and then disappeared from the hotel in a flash.

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

Inside the villa where Xu Hui is located.

"Too slow! They can't even find a chance to make a move after a whole day? What a bunch of useless fools!"

Feeling uneasy, Xu Hui stayed alone in the villa, his expression slightly distorted by his inner anxiety.

"My plan is definitely going to work. Like the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, once I get my hands on that champion-level iron dumbbell, my future will surely be..."

His soliloquy came to an abrupt halt.

Suddenly his eyes widened, and he rose from the ground as if he were in the deep sea, struggling to breathe and his face turning red.

"There's even a Champion-level Pokémon! They've been hiding it quite well!"

From the shadows, a muscular man wearing a black and white face mask emerged.

His voice was hoarse, and he was carrying the unconscious Dream Eater (Sulipai) beside him.

On the surface, Xu Hui only has one Champion-level Magneton, but secretly he also has another Champion-level Psychic-type Pokémon, Hypnos, and a Ghost-type Pokémon, Cursed Doll.

It really is possible.

"you......."

A muffled sound squeezed out of Xu Hui's throat. Although there was no one around him, he seemed to be floating in mid-air as if an invisible person was holding his neck.

The superpower of telekinesis!

Without the help of the spirit, Xu Hui is just an ordinary person with a fairly decent physique.

Compared to Mu Yun's Heavenly King-level mental strength and LV6 superpowers, it was as fragile as paper.

"Let's do it!"

Mu Yun didn't waste words with him, nor did he even ask why he attacked him.

He was well aware of the principle that possessing a treasure is a crime.

Even in a country like the Yanhuang Alliance, which is extremely safe internationally, there are still quite a few people who dare to take risks for money.

However, the less wealth a person has, the lower their chances of seeing it.

Morality and law can restrain many things, but greed can easily break through them.

"Buzz~~~"

As Mu Yun transmitted his voice to Patrick Star, an invisible brainwave enveloped Xu Hui's brain.

A moment later, Mu Yun transferred the brain-dead Xu Hui and his elf to the elf space and handed them over to Patrick Star to deal with.

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

[Ding! Starmie (56) defeated Magneton (73)/Dream Eater (71)/Skewer (69)/......, Permanent Quest 1: Battle Completed. The opponent's level is significantly higher than yours. Congratulations, host! You have gained 73/71/69/...... points. Starmie's growth level has been greatly/significantly/mediumly/...... increased!]

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

[Ding! Through continuous efforts, the Gem Starfish has increased its growth level. Current level: 59!]

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

"Leveling up through battles against opponents of higher levels is indeed faster!"

Mu Yun sighed inwardly.

When you're at the Dominator level, you can barely level up by challenging a gym each time.

Patrick Star, by taking advantage of several opportunities to surpass his level, has already reached the peak of the Overlord level.

If this were combined with superpowers and waveguide abilities, the effect would probably be even better than the experiment we just did.

"Big Brother, he knows a lot about where the money is hidden!"

As Patrick spoke, he transmitted important memories to Mu Yun.

Because of his good business acumen, Xu Hui had good relationships with many people in the Xu family and some local officials.

Perhaps he had long harbored a rebellious streak, for he secretly noted down the places where many people hid supplies and also investigated the security situation over the past few days.

Most of them are in remote and safe places like suburban villas.

Although individual resources may not be much, when added together, they would probably amount to several small goals.

Of course, there was very little cash; most of it consisted of easily resold antiques, gold, jewelry, and magical treasures.

"Corrupt officials..."

Mu Yun was not Bao Zheng (a legendary upright official), nor did he have the time to distinguish and judge these officials.

Perhaps he will have the time and opportunity later, but for now, it's more important to focus on the important things.

Thinking it over, Mu Yun immediately put all the resources he had accumulated into his storage space, based on the scene in Xu Hui's memory.

They then went to several villas where large amounts of stolen goods were hidden and ransacked them.

It wasn't until around midnight that Mu Yun quietly arrived at the Silver Steel Secret Realm located in the suburbs.

Compared to the relaxed atmosphere during the day, Mu Yun, now in a different identity, directly felt the tightness of the secret realm's security.

There were guards every three steps and sentries every five steps, and cameras were everywhere.

If we were to have people monitor these cameras, even a platoon wouldn't be enough, but if a Metagross were to come, it would be a piece of cake.

"Patrick Star, it's your turn now!"

Mu Yun immediately activated his superpowers and waveguide abilities.

Patrick's level quickly soared.

Just as Mu Yun had expected, Patrick Star, who had narrowly missed reaching level 75, had now broken through to level 76 and reached the late stage of the Heavenly King level.

An invisible wave rippled out from Mu Yun's chest.

Patrick quickly transmitted his voice: "Big Brother, I've done my job. There are about three minutes when the cameras won't be able to see us."

"That's enough!"

Mu Yun's eyes narrowed, and he immediately activated his teleportation ability. Combined with the detection of his aura and the interference of his superpowers, he quickly arrived at the location of the portal.

Perhaps because there had been no problems for years, or perhaps because they had enough confidence in the King-level Megalodon monsters in the outer realm, the internal patrol personnel were quite lax.

Especially now that it's one or two in the morning, many people are feeling sleepy.

After Mu Yun came in, he felt much more relaxed.

Taking advantage of their inattention, they quickly entered the Silver Steel Secret Realm.

"Hmm? Was there any movement from the portal just now?" one of the patrolmen asked, puzzled.

Another patrolman yawned and casually said, "How could that be? There's practically no one around at this hour. Are you sleepy too?"

"That's possible."

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

Within the Silver Steel Secret Realm.

Mu Yun, who had just stepped out of the portal, did not linger and immediately used teleportation to arrive at a corner in his memory where there were no cameras.

It's unclear whether it was due to sheer confidence or because Xu Kaijun reduced the number of cameras in order to tamper with the system.

In short, Mu Yun discovered many blind spots in the cameras.

After bypassing several patrols, he successfully arrived at the place where the Iron Dumbbell Pokémon eggs were stored.

In addition to two IronDumbbells with Elite Four potential and one IronDumbbell with Champion potential, there are also Steel-type Pokémon eggs with Overlord and Gym Leader potential stored in the outer area.

There are common creatures like Skarmory, Iron Ant, Magnemite, and Togoldmar, as well as rarer ones like Shieldon, Little Blacksmith, and Diglett.

Among these dozens of elf eggs, there are even two with the potential to reach the Elite Four level.

One is a Duraludon Pokémon egg, and the other is a Magnemite Pokémon egg.

This wave of income will allow Mu Yun to successfully complete the series of tasks for becoming a Steel Attribute Master.

And this is not the limit!

Silver Steel Secret Realm is no small secret realm; in addition to the collected Pokémon eggs, there must also be wild Pokémon populations.

Since he was already there, he naturally planned to make as much as possible!

With the combination of Pokémon Space and Spatial Anchor Point, he was confident that he could escape unscathed even if a Champion-level Metagross came to him.

Moreover, the old clan chief, Xu Dian, was quite old and had long since retired to the second line, spending his remaining years in a sanatorium he owned.

The one currently guarding the secret realm is only the eldest son of the second generation of the Xu family, a Steel-type Elite Four level trainer.

Whether due to insufficient potential or lack of talent, its ace, the Silver Metagross, only possesses the strength of a peak Elite Four member.

In fact, the only champion-level fighter in the entire Xu family is the old patriarch Xu Dian.

This is the biggest difference between emerging and established families.

For families like the long-established Changqing Liu family, champion-level Pokémon are not to be underestimated, but they certainly far outnumber those on one hand.

Its ability to withstand risks is naturally extremely strong.
