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

"Phew, finally done."

Using his ability to identify the energy distribution of the tree fruits, Mu Yun successfully separated the most energy-rich parts of each tree fruit in about ten minutes.

As for those with insufficient energy, he didn't waste them; he simply stored them in his storage space. Once he had accumulated enough scrap, he could use them to gain experience.

"After the tree fruits are processed, they are mixed..."

The creation of the Energy Cube consists of three main steps: the first step is processing the berries, the second step is mixing the berries, and the final step is shaping the Energy Cube.

The steps are simple, but each step is quite complicated.

Not to mention that different fruits require different materials for cutting tools and equipment during processing, the second step of mixing alone involves various conditions such as cold, heat, electricity, and light.

Any error in any condition will affect the quality of the final product.

Of course, unlike alchemy in fantasy worlds, even if you simply mix these tree fruits together in a blender and eat them, as long as their properties don't clash, you'll still get a guaranteed amount of tree fruit sap.

Although the effect is not as good as eating tree fruit alone, at least it won't be a complete waste.

"This is such a pain to mix!"

After actually trying it out, Mu Yun realized that while manual transmissions were indeed precise, they were also genuinely troublesome.

Especially his set of components, many of which are single-function machines that require frequent replacement, are far less convenient than an integrated system.

Sure enough, with technological advancements, manual transmissions also need to keep up with the times; they can't be driven entirely in manual mode!

The steps for the basic energy cube recipe are not many. After simple hot and electric mixing, Muyun pours the processed tree fruit mixture into the condensation mold.

The materials cost 1150 Alliance Coins, and a total of five and a half were made, with a cost price of approximately 210 Alliance Coins per item.

It's more than twice as expensive as the general-purpose basic energy block that only restores stamina and energy.

Considering this is just the official selling price, the actual cost price is estimated to be even lower.

"One [Speed] Energy Block costs about 210 Alliance Coins and has a bonus effect. You need to consume about 67 blocks, which means that to get the full 5% speed bonus, it will cost about 14000 Alliance Coins."

"The price of a basic treasure is around one million Alliance Coins, and the known bonus effect is 16%. Converted proportionally, a 5% bonus is equivalent to over three hundred thousand Alliance Coins. So, buying Energy Cubes is practically a steal!!"

After a quick calculation, Mu Yun felt that these energy cubes were incredibly cheap!

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

[Ding! The host has completed the crafting of a beginner-level energy block, with the highest quality being excellent. Energy block crafting skill experience points +13!]

【能量方块製作（LV1，0/100）→能量方块製作（LV1，13/100）】

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

Because it was her first time making one, Mu Yun was still somewhat unfamiliar with the use of some of the machines, resulting in low quality of the finished product. There were only two excellent products and three good products, while the last half was a pitiful inferior product.

"It adds 13 experience points each time. If I do it a few more times, I can level up instantly!"

Thinking it over, Mu Yun opened the points exchange shop and started a new round of tree fruit exchange.

I'm hesitant to spend Alliance Coins, but I'm ruthless when it comes to spending points!

Orange fruit, 1 point per fruit? I'll buy it!

Apples, 3 points each? I'll buy them!

Cherry fruits, 5 points each? I'll buy them!

Extra loose purple thin and breathable pajamas... wait, I don't need to buy these, there are some next door.

It's secondhand, but much cheaper than the ones in the mall... no, it's much more readily available!

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

With the consumption of 115 points, Mu Yun's storage space instantly gained a full ten more sets of materials.

"Let's get started!"

Under the curious gazes of Xiao Du and Bo Feng, Mu Yun quickly processed the tree fruit and then began to repeat the previous steps.

Time slipped away in the midst of our busy work. More than three hours had passed, the sun had already quietly set, and the crescent moon had unknowingly climbed onto the treetops.

Little Du quietly took out an energy cube from the refrigerator and ate it obediently while watching a battle show on TV.

Bofeng stood alone on the windowsill, eating the sandwich Xiaodu had given him while gazing out the window, seemingly lost in thought.

"Finally, it's all done!"

In the kitchen, Mu Yun wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the 55 extra energy cubes in front of him, and smiled with satisfaction.

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

[Ding! The host has completed ten crafting attempts of basic energy cubes, with the highest quality being excellent. Energy cube crafting skill experience points +160!]

【能量方块製作（LV1，13/100）→能量方块製作（LV2，73/1000）】

[Ding! Through persistent efforts, the host's skill—Energy Cube Crafting—has broken through to LV2!]

[Energy Block Crafting (LV2, 73/1000): Energy Block Nutrition +100%, Tree Berry Energy Distribution Recognition (Active), Energy Block Special Effect Cap +100%]

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

As expected, once all ten sets of materials were used up, the Energy Cube crafting skill was successfully upgraded.

The energy cube's nutrition is increased by another 50%, achieving an amazing double effect, which means that subsequent expenses can be reduced again.

Unfortunately, I only got the new bonus modifiers a few times later on; the initial energy blocks still only had a 50% effect.

Besides the improved effects of old terms, what attracts Mu Yun the most is naturally the generation of new terms.

This time, after the skill upgrade, only one more attribute was added, but the effect of this attribute surprised and delighted Mu Yun.

The maximum special effect of Energy Blocks is increased by 100%!

If you use the regular energy block recipe, this skill is useless, but if you use the [Speed] recipe provided by the system, it will definitely double!

5% has become 10%!

This effect is almost as good as the beginner-level Elf Treasure!

Sure enough, the bonus from the secret treasure is just for fun; to really see the stats, you have to look at the recipes provided by the system!

And this is just the basic recipe. When intermediate and even advanced recipes appear, it's unimaginable how terrifying the stats of Xiaodu and Bofeng will become.

I'm afraid that even without using any special moves, just moving around and using basic attacks would be enough to teach the opponent a lesson!

Thinking about it, Mu Yun felt most of his fatigue disappear. He picked up two top-grade [Speed] energy cubes with 100% nutrition and 100% special effects and went to the living room, feeding one to each of the two elves.

Then, amidst their bewildered expressions, he picked them up, one in each arm, and carried them into the bathroom.

"Come on, we're so happy today, let's take a shower to celebrate!"

"Hiss??"

"Pop?"

The bee and the bird exchanged a glance, both looking somewhat puzzled.

Don't we shower together every day? What kind of celebration is this?

However, they didn't dwell on it too much; as long as Mu Yun was happy, they were happy to cooperate.

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

[Ding! Host has completed a thorough massage, skill experience points +20!]

【通用按摩（LV2，460/1000）→通用按摩（LV2，480/1000）】

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

[Ding! Daily Task 3 - Post-Training Massage and Daily Task 4 - Help Him Clean Up have been completed. 20 points have been awarded!]

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

Today's daily task points were also credited to my account amidst laughter.

Soon, Mu Yun carried the two little ones, who were limp and had unfocused eyes, out of the bathroom.

There's no way around it; a bath and massage are just too comfortable for them at such a young age.

After placing the two little ones on the sofa, Mu Yun took his phone and lay down on the bed.

Energy block crafting is currently his only skill that allows him to quickly gain experience, but due to limited points, he can't do it every day right now.

Besides, this cheap equipment couldn't support Mu Yun's high-frequency daily use, after all, it was just a cheap product costing a few thousand.

"It all comes down to money. Forget it, I'm not going to think about it anymore. I'm going to log in and play a game to clear my head!"

After thinking about it, Mu Yun felt that there was no need to be in a hurry.

The system had only been awakened for a month, and he was only a senior in high school. Unlike Sass, he didn't have a brother who wanted revenge and was always on edge, thinking about becoming stronger.

His life is very relaxed now. He just needs to develop step by step. There is no need to drive himself crazy.

Besides, he has quite a few things to do every day: cooking, exercising, massaging, physical training, making energy cubes, attending classes, listening to audiobooks, reading textbooks, watching anime...

Looking at him now, he seems quite curvy too...

Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. I'm logging in and playing some games!

Just then, Deng Siyao sent a message via cloud messaging.

[Let's just wait to die (Deng Siyao): Junior, log in?]

[Cloud Reader (Muyun): Let's do it!]
