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

"Muyun, Muyun, Yun..."

Zhao Ziye murmured something softly, then his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Brother Mu's name is quite a match for my ancestor's name. No wonder I felt that you were as bright and dazzling as a firefly in the moonlight at first glance!" Zhao Ziye's voice was slightly excited, and he leaned forward a little as he spoke.

Mu Yun instinctively leaned back.

No, buddy, what are you doing? Talk is talk, but don't get so close!

"I apologize, Brother Mu, I was a little too excited and lost my composure just now!"

Seemingly realizing that his behavior was somewhat inappropriate, Zhao Ziye subconsciously stood up and bowed in apology.

"No...it's alright, please sit down."

Mu Yun thought for a moment, then, using the other person's tone, asked, "May I ask what business Brother Ziye has with me?"

The sudden appearance of this handsome yet dull young man piqued Mu Yun's curiosity.

Anyway, the people watching him are still there, and it's still early, not too dark yet.

"I apologize, Brother Mu. I only came to pay my respects after noticing you. I have no other business to discuss with you." Zhao Ziye's face showed a hint of embarrassment, and he immediately tried to get up to greet you again.

Mu Yun raised his hand and pressed it down.

Zhao Ziye, who was forcibly pressed down, was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up.

His senses were right about that force; Brother Mu was indeed powerful!

"In that case, Brother Ziye, please continue eating. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave first."

After saying that, Mu Yun immediately stood up, turned around and left.

Zhao Ziye didn't stop them, because he knew that everyone who came to eat here today would be participating in the martial arts tournament in a few days, and they would meet again then!

"Auntie is right, this world truly is full of hidden talents!"

Zhao Ziye's heart was pounding. If he had his gun with him, he would have loved to challenge Mu Yun to a three-hundred-round battle.

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

The protagonist, whom Zhao Ziye longed to fight three hundred rounds with, was now leisurely strolling through the night view of Changshi.

Changshi is the capital city of Beihe Province. Although its economic strength is not the best in the province, its development is quite good.

The night market is very large and has a large flow of people. The aroma of various snacks mixed together is really appetizing.

Mu Yun bought things as he walked. Although the taste wasn't as good as what he made himself, it had a unique flavor against the backdrop of the lively, bustling atmosphere.

What do you think?

In the distance, amidst the brightly lit streets and a somewhat dark and eerie forest, a bewildered man with an ordinary face stared blankly at the handsome young man before him, wondering how he had been brought here.

Under the flickering light, the young man's expressionless face resembled that of a judge from the underworld, making his heart pound.

"Young man... I don't know you. You... you must have mistaken me for someone else?"

"Maybe."

Mu Yun casually swallowed the last fried bean curd stick and tossed it into his personal storage space.

"Right, hahaha, then I'll be going now, buddy."

The ordinary-looking man gave a dry laugh and tried to turn and leave.

Thump--!

The man immediately fell to the ground.

He found his body to feel as if it were filled with lead, as if a mountain was pressing down on him.

"If you've mistaken someone for someone else, then you're just unlucky." Mu Yun slowly walked up to him and squatted down.

The ordinary-looking man wanted to say something, but suddenly felt his heavy head lighten, and his consciousness blurred instantly.

"The eldest brother is a member of the Xu family, but he also has other identities."

Patrick, hidden in Mu Yun's pocket, transmitted his voice.

As he spoke, a series of memories flashed before his eyes.

"Xu Laoqi, a mid-level elf investigator in the patrol department, is skilled in investigation and tracking. He is a level three regional commander under Jiakou City—Xu Chun. This Xu family really has a lot of members."

Mu Yun's eyes flickered slightly, a cold glint appearing in them.

Judging from the memories, there was good news as well as bad news.

Good news: the other party is unaware, or unsure, of whether they are the egg thief.

Bad news, so the other party is preparing to use dirty tricks, forging evidence, and getting themselves imprisoned.

"I haven't been exposed, and they're not even sure it's me, so why are they targeting me like this?"

This was something that Mu Yun couldn't understand at all.

He believed he had concealed his whereabouts well and handled the traces quite well. His size, his elf-like appearance, and his behavior patterns were all difficult to reconcile with his true self.

If that's the case, why is the Xu family targeting him?

Why don't you investigate the issue of the missing Pokémon eggs?

After all, on the surface, he was just a lucky guy who received a Pokémon egg and had no grudge against the Xu family.

"Brother, is it possible that it's because of the switched Pokémon eggs?"

Patrick Star's jewel flashed for a moment before he analyzed.

Tell me about it.

As Mu Yun tossed Xu Laoqi into the spirit space, he slipped to the nearest public restroom, washed his hands nonchalantly, and left.

"Previously, we thought that the switch of the elf eggs was approved by the old clan chief Xu Dian, but after I investigated Xu Dian's deeds online and built a character model based on that, he doesn't seem to be such a greedy and short-sighted person."

"Therefore, I boldly assume that this was a private act by someone below without authorization."

"For example, Xu Yuantan, who wanted to use this to frame Xu Yuanzhuang, the current patriarch of the Xu family, for failing to raise his son properly, and thus cut off his son Xu Kaijun's right to inherit the position of patriarch; Xu Yuanzhuang, who wanted to cut off the current second brother's lineage from the idea of ​​becoming patriarch; or Xu Kaijun himself, who is simply not very bright."

"What was supposed to be revealed later was turned into a perfect counterattack because of your decisive and heroic actions, Big Brother. You not only dealt a heavy blow to the Xu family but also destroyed their foundation. As a result, that person was under immense psychological pressure and couldn't hold on, so he confessed to his crime."

"Because these three people have a close relationship with Xu Dian, he didn't choose to punish them. Instead, he decided to clean up the mess himself. After all, he's getting old. If he falls ill and you discover something's wrong in the future, then no one in the Xu family will be a match for you, Big Brother!"

Mu Yun shook his hand: "Your analysis makes a lot of sense, but..."

Mu Yun paused for a moment, and Patrick Star immediately perked up and listened attentively.

Perhaps he forgot some crucial information, or perhaps his flattery was not concise or expressive enough.

"But next time, don't praise me so obviously. I'm not some kind of tyrant who can only understand things if I hear something pleasing to the ear."

"Then, big brother, can I say it again?" Patrick asked somewhat uncertainly.

"Speak frankly, without trying to flatter me," Mu Yun said magnanimously.

Honest advice, though unpleasant to hear, is beneficial. He wasn't an incompetent or foolish ruler who only knew how to listen to flattery...

"Brother, I think your actions this time were very irrational, even too reckless and impulsive. As the saying goes, a wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall, and there is also the saying that a gentleman's revenge is never too late. With your talent..."

Patrick Star began his long and detailed analysis.

In short, this action was somewhat ill-considered and imprudent.

Patrick Star.

Once the voice in his mind disappeared, Mu Yun narrowed his eyes slightly and chuckled as he shook the water droplets off his hands.

"Yes, boss!"

"Well said, don't say it again next time."

Patrick Star: …(⊙_⊙；)…

"Hahaha, I was just kidding."

Feeling Patrick Star suddenly shudder in his pocket, Mu Yun gently rubbed him:

"You are very smart, you think a lot, and what you said is very true, but there is one thing that I think differently from you."

Patrick Star was immediately curious.

"What distinguishes humans from machines is their emotions. Enduring temporary frustration and humiliation can certainly make one a hero, and the age-old wisdom of living under someone else's roof and biding one's time for revenge is certainly admirable, but..."

That's not me!

Mu Yun never thought he would become a great hero with lofty ambitions and a name that would be remembered for all time, but he was also unwilling to be a cowardly coward.

He accepts his lack of ability and endures it!

If someone has the ability but doesn't do it, then Brother Tong will cry.
