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

After a while, as all the colorful lights merged into Patrick Star's body, the ruby ​​on his chest finally stopped flashing.

"How does it feel?"

After Patrick Star's waveguide returned to normal, Mu Yun asked.

"I feel like I can understand more now, Big Brother."

Patrick's synthesized voice was no longer as calm as usual, but carried a hint of barely concealed excitement.

Mu Yun nodded.

He did see something about that.

Even the awakened power that many elves may not be able to comprehend even after many years can be mastered instantly.

This speed is even faster than cheating.

After all, even with cheat codes, you still need to work hard and accumulate the points needed to break through the limits.

In contrast, Patrick Star only spent a few hours there contemplating, and he understood everything.

"Also, Big Brother, just now, I discovered that I can now detect the capabilities granted by the third-layer core!"

Patrick continued, his tone becoming even more excited as he spoke of "powers."

Clearly, even he himself was excited about his new ability.

Tell me about it.

Mu Yun was somewhat curious.

As his traits are enhanced, Patrick Star gains many special abilities.

For example, his current core ability, Mind Control Waves, has effects such as memory reading, energy interruption, limb confusion, and energy chaos.

After cracking the second-layer core, he also gained the effect of "size control", which can bring greater power or more precise operation while enlarging or shrinking the size.

So, what is the ability of the third level?

"Big Brother, as you know, this gem has always been at the core of my body."

Patrick pointed to the ruby ​​on his chest: "This core gem contains all my genes and memories. Theoretically speaking, even if I only have this one gem left, as long as I have enough energy to replenish it, I can fully recover."

Mu Yun nodded; he did know that.

Of course, ordinary gem starfish and starfish can't be resurrected with only one gem left, but limb regeneration is naturally a piece of cake.

Patrick Star's point is that the third layer might be related to self-healing abilities.

It's pretty good, but it doesn't seem to be very useful.

Patrick Star seemed to have noticed Mu Yun's confusion and continued, "And this effect is just a side effect of the true ability of the third-level core."

Side effects?

Mu Yun suddenly became interested.

Patrick continued, "The ability of the third core layer, I call it... Gene Repair!"

Gene repair?

It sounds like it has a healing effect.

"Repair" means to restore, which is what I just mentioned—an extremely strong self-healing ability. "Supplement" is derived from the concept of mending the heavens, and it is the true manifestation of the third core's power!

At this point, Patrick's voice became excited again.

"Mending the sky?"

Mu Yun was certainly familiar with this word.

Nuwa Mending the Sky is one of the ancient myths and legends of the Yanhuang Alliance.

Although it is unknown whether Nuwa is a divine beast, there is indeed a story similar to that of the previous life.

He knew the story, but he never expected Patrick Star to use that word to describe himself.

Patrick Star is usually neither humble nor arrogant; he has a very calm and steady personality.

This ability seems truly incredible!

"That's right, it's the 'supplement' used to mend the sky!"

Patrick explained, "Nuwa mended the sky with the Heaven-Mending Stone, and the ability of my third core is to repair my own genes with the genes of other elves."

"Repairing one's own genes..." Mu Yun murmured, then his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "So, my racial stats have increased?"

"That's right, the big brother, and that's not all."

Patrick continued.

If it's just an increase in base stats, then he doesn't really need to be particularly excited, because Mu Yun had already taken out evolution essence that could increase base stats before.

What truly excited him was that while repairing the genes, he could also store the genetic information of the target Pokémon.

In other words, theoretically, he could learn all the moves of all Pokémon and store their abilities!

After hearing Patrick's account, Mu Yun couldn't help but gasp.

Learning all of a Pokémon's moves might just expand the move pool for a typical Pokémon, without much special benefit.

Even for Xiao Du and his friends, it wasn't a particularly significant improvement.

But for Patrick Star alone, this was an incredibly exaggerated improvement.

Because he doesn't need to practice the moves; he only needs to meditate for a while to reach the required level of proficiency for a new move.

In this way, Patrick Star will never be troubled by breaking the limit again.

And that's only one aspect.

Even more outrageous is that Patrick Star can also store the characteristics of corresponding Pokémon by analyzing their genes.

Although the storage limit and duration are still unknown, even just one or two such instances would be quite terrifying.

Putting aside other factors, if Patrick Star had the ability to hit vital points +1 or the ability to freely transform, his moves would be significantly more powerful.

In summary, Patrick Star has already earned the right to be a "monster".

Moreover, it currently has the highest potential.

"You starfish people really have endless potential!"

After regaining his senses, Mu Yun couldn't help but sigh.

"By the way, what level of skill is needed to crack the third-layer core?"

Mu Yun remembered that Patrick Star had said before that only champion-level strength could break the code.

Now that the characteristics have been enhanced, the requirements have definitely been lowered.

I just don't know how much it can be reduced.

"After you enhanced my brain, Big Brother, I can try to crack it now. However, it may take a long time. Judging from my current strength, it will take at least three to four years," Patrick said.

"Three to four years, that's quite a long time..."

Unexpectedly, even with Patrick Star's current level and intelligence, it will take him three to four years.

This is normal, after all, before his abilities were enhanced, Patrick Star even needed Champion-level strength to begin exploring the capabilities of the third core.

Now we not only know the ability, but we also have a specific timeframe.

This is already double happiness.

Theoretically speaking, even if he does nothing, Patrick Star can still complete the third-layer core crack by the time he graduates from college.

Moreover, with the mission of combat in hand, he couldn't just do nothing.

"By the way, Patrick, can hardware assistance help you save time?"

Mu Yun suddenly remembered that he would have the opportunity to go to the research institute in Xindu for exchange and study sometime in a while.

"We need to see what level of hardware it is."

Patrick said.

With his current brainpower, an ordinary computer would be completely useless to him; he would need at least the kind of "hardware" that is powered by a mobile phone like the Little Silver.

"Okay, we'll talk about that later."

When he arrived at the research institute in Xindu, he saw if there was anything Patrick Star could use.

If you have it, just buy a set directly from the points redemption shop.
