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

"Brother Yun, I miss you so much!!"

The following day, at the commercial street of Heijiang University.

The room that Mu Yun rented.

With a bright smile, Chi Duoduo leaped up like a fawn as soon as Mu Yun opened the door and instantly threw herself into his arms.

"Long time no see, Duoduo!"

Mu Yun skillfully reached out, supporting the soft-bodied Chi Duoduo with one hand and gently stroking her back with the other, his voice gentle.

After renting the house yesterday, Mu Yun sent the address to Chi Duoduo, and she didn't expect her to arrive today.

"You haven't had lunch yet, have you? I'll take you to the snack stalls downstairs..."

Before Mu Yun could even utter the word "street," Chi Duoduo silenced him with a kiss.

With her small, rosy lips touching his, Mu Yun immediately understood what Chi Duoduo wanted to eat.

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

"Holy crap, there was an earthquake in Heihe City?"

In the building where Mu Yun rented a place, some residents who were at home touched the walls that seemed to be trembling in confusion.

I don't know if it's just their imagination, but the building seems a bit unstable today.

Fortunately, apart from a slight shaking, there weren't many problems, so they didn't take it seriously.

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

At midnight, the moon rises above the treetops.

Mu Yun lay relaxed on the bed that had collapsed at some point, quietly scrolling through his phone.

Beside him lay Chi Duoduo, her red lips slightly swollen, but a happy smile on her face as she slept.

Perhaps because she was so hungry, Chi Duoduo was particularly aggressive today, and she ate incredibly fast.

As a result, after Mu Yun helped her draw the world map, she fell into a deep sleep, exhausted.

"Buzz buzz buzz~~~"

Just then, Chi Duoduo's phone suddenly vibrated.

Mu Yun reached out and picked up his phone from the slightly cracked bedside table.

The words "Master" were prominently displayed on the screen.

It was clearly a call from Lü Shouchun.

After thinking for a moment, Mu Yun opened his phone.

The next second, Lü Shouchun's voice rang out:

"Hey, Duoduo, did you arrive safely? Why didn't you answer the phone all day? Did you wander into the mountains again?"

"Teacher Lü, it's me. Duoduo arrived at noon, but she's a little tired and is still sleeping."

"......."

The voice on the other end of the phone suddenly paused, and after a moment of silence, Lu Shouchun's muffled voice came through: "Xiaoyun, then take good care of her. Also, remember to tell me if there are any signs. I know a lot of doctors."

After saying that, Lü Shouchun hung up the phone.

What do you mean by knowing a lot of doctors?

Teacher Lü, is what you said correct?

Okay, that makes sense.

However, considering Chi Duoduo's physical condition, it is estimated that there will be no problems.

"No, what am I thinking? It's not even close to happening yet."

Mu Yun shook his head, put Chi Duoduo's phone back, and then opened his own phone to browse the Trainers Association's official website.

With the start of the school year approaching, he definitely wouldn't have time to do the Pokémon Investigator quests, so he decided to look for nearby competitions.

Ideally, it should be a simple and quick baby cup, and you can also use a discount card from MiBao.

If you can't find it, you can also try the gyms or battle gyms in Heihe City.

Alternatively, you could check out the tavern in Neon Nights. Anyone who dares to do this kind of business probably has considerable resources, and it could be a good place to level up.

As for whether the other party is willing or not?

The other party should be very willing to grant a reasonable, small request from the trainee elf investigator directly under the deputy minister of the Imperial Capital Patrol Department.

Having made up his mind, Mu Yun turned off his phone, placed it on the bedside table, and snuggled into the covers.

"Hmm~~"

Perhaps Mu Yun's movements were a bit too forceful, because the half-asleep Chi Duoduo murmured softly, her cotton-soft body instinctively pressing against him, raising the temperature in the room even higher.

The original plan for a martial arts competition in a dream has been cancelled!

New objective: Conquer cities and seize territory, now open!

The war reignited, and the commotion continued throughout the night.

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

The next day, Mu Yun, unusually, did not get up early as usual, but only got out of bed at noon when the sun was high in the sky.

It wasn't that he was tired; it was just that he didn't fall asleep until almost six in the morning, and after Chi Duoduo fell asleep, she clung to him like an octopus, so he simply took a nap as well.

"Ha~~, good morning, Brother Yun~!"

Chi Duoduo lazily rubbed her eyes, and after seeing the energetic Mu Yun, she muttered in confusion, "Didn't Sister Jiayi say that men are only tough on the outside and actually get tired easily? How come Brother Yun never shows any signs of fatigue after we finish...?"

Mu Yun: It's an extraordinary talent, there's nothing I can do about it.

After getting up and washing up quickly, Mu Yun took Chi Duoduo to the Heihe City Dojo as planned.

"Brother Yun, didn't you already collect all the badges? Why are you still challenging the gym?"

On the way, Chi Duoduo, with a lychee-flavored lollipop in her mouth, asked a question with slightly unclear speech.

"The badges aren't the goal; the important thing is to play more battles and accumulate experience," Mu Yun explained.

According to research published by ElfNet, among elves of the same species, gender, potential, and nurtured with the same resources, the one that actively engages in battles will grow faster than the one that battles less frequently.

Therefore, even without a systematic battle mission, Mu Yun will try his best to arrange appropriate battles for the elves.

Moreover, he also has a reward mechanism like combat missions that provide immediate results.

"Is that so...?"

Chi Duoduo moved her pink tongue slightly, deftly pushing the candy in her mouth from left to right, and said, "Should we let Sister Deraqion practice more?"

These days, she found that Dalai Lackey did nothing but eat and sleep, as lazy as a hog.

How about we spar with the dojo master later and let her get some exercise?

"There's no need for that, Derakion. Her situation is rather special, and this pattern doesn't apply to her," Mu Yun said, stopping her from having this dangerous idea.

The gym leader hasn't broken any divine laws, so there's no need for him to face off against Terakion.

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

During their casual conversation, the two arrived at the entrance of the dojo in Heihe City.

The Heihe Dojo is a very grand building, with carvings of iconic natural features of Heihe City, such as snow-capped mountains and rivers. It looks quite nice.

"Welcome! How may I help you?"

The receptionist at the Heihe Dojo was a tall young woman, probably over 1.7 meters tall.

"Could you please process my gym challenge?" Mu Yun skillfully pulled out his identification.

As for Chi Duoduo?

Without considering Terrakion and her own combat strength, the rest of her Pokémon are simply not up to the level to challenge a gym.

This is normal, though. Generally speaking, even at top-tier universities like Heijiang University, not every graduate is qualified to challenge a dojo.

Moreover, Chi Duoduo is only a soon-to-be freshman.

"Yes, sir!"

The receptionist took Mu Yun's identification document. As she processed the transaction, her professional smile suddenly faltered, clearly shocked by Mu Yun's information.

Eighteen years old, eight badges.

That's outrageous!

It was so outrageous that she definitely wouldn't have believed it if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes.

Fortunately, her professional skills allowed her to quickly regain her composure and hand her identification back to Mu Yun.

"Master Qu is at the main battlefield, and there's no one there right now, so you can just go there."
