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

"System, use the learning memory technique—[Move: Cross Scissors]!"

Mu Yun placed his hand on Xiao Duming's smooth, yellow forehead and silently prayed.

In an instant, a transparent sphere that only Mu Yun could see flew out of the storage space, followed Mu Yun's arm, and slowly landed on Xiao Du's head.

Under Mu Yun's gaze, the figures of giant bees wielding cross-shaped shears appeared in the transparent light sphere. The figures went from slow to agile, from the initial faint slashes to the final ability to split mountains and cleave seas, looking quite imposing.

As the figure flashed, the ball of light slowly shattered, turning into countless points of light that merged into Xiao Du's body.

"I wonder what level of proficiency I'll have with the Phillips Sheet technique, which I just learned. With so many special effects, it can't be that I'm a complete beginner..." Mu Yun wondered to himself, looking at the scattered light spots.

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

[Ding! Move learning and memorization complete. Beedrill has successfully mastered the new move - X-Scissors (Beginner, 0/10)!]

[Ding! With the help of learning and memory, Beedrill's proficiency with the move "X-Scissors" has improved. Current proficiency level: Beginner!]

[Ding! With the help of learning and memory, Beedrill's proficiency with the move "X-Scissors" has improved. Current proficiency level: Mastered!]

[Ding! With the boost of learning and memory, Beedrill...]

[Ding! With the help of learning and memory, Beedrill's proficiency with the move "X-Scissors" has improved. Current proficiency level: Perfect!]

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

[Cross-cutting: Sharp, scissor-like blades materialize on the arms, sickle, claws, and other limbs to slash at the opponent.]

【Cross Scissors (Perfect, 0/1000): During the move's duration, the hardness of the two needles is increased by 200%, the sharpness of the two needles is increased by 150%, the flight speed is increased by 100%, and the power of all Bug-type moves is increased by 10%.】

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

As the light sphere merged in, a series of system notification sounds rang out.

My proficiency with the cross-cutting shears increased at an almost visible rate; in just one minute, I went from a complete novice to a master.

It's important to understand that the cross-scissors technique is not a low-power, low-cost move like the silk-spitting or double-needle technique.

As one of the top ten most powerful Bug-type moves, Cross Scissors is not only incredibly strong, but its learning difficulty and energy consumption are also increasing exponentially.

Even with a cheat system, if you manage to get past the most difficult beginner stage, it would probably take at least a month to reach perfection, and that's assuming you don't train other moves along the way.

Now everything's great! The system just "dings" and you have everything!

At the perfect level, once you attain proof, it is permanent. You will no longer have to worry about progressing too quickly and causing your foundation to become unstable!

"Hiss!!"

As unfamiliar knowledge suddenly flooded into his mind, Xiao Du felt that something had suddenly changed.

He felt that he could now do the conversion and manipulation of insect-type energy even faster and more smoothly than before.

Even the two moves, Double Needle and Random Strike, which require the use of both arms to perform bee stings, seem to have gained new insights.

He subconsciously mobilized his energy, converting it into insect-attribute energy at a faster rate than usual, and gathered it on the surface of the silver-white bee stinger.

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

[Ding! Beedrill used Double Stinger, skill level +1!]

[Ding! Beedrill, having suddenly gained a lot of insights into Bug-type moves, seems to have a new understanding of the Bug-type move Double Needle. Proficiency +33!]

[Ding! Beedrill used Double Stinger, skill level +1!]

[Ding! Beedrill, having suddenly gained a lot of insights into Bug-type moves, seems to have a new understanding of the Bug-type move Double Needle. Proficiency +56!]

[Ding! Beedrill...]

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

As the system notification sounded, Xiao Du's arms glowed and then faded away amidst Mu Yun's surprised expression.

Proficiency is also increasing at an alarming rate.

The system notification sound gradually subsided after more than ten minutes.

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

[Ding! After persistent effort, Beedrill's skill - Double Needle - has successfully broken through to the Perfect level of proficiency!]

[Ding! Beedrill has gained 1 Limit Break Point!]

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

【Double Needle (Limit Break +1, 222/2000): During the use of this move, Double Needle's hardness is increased by 200%, Double Needle's penetration is increased by 200%, Toxin's toxicity is increased by 150%, and the power of all Bug-type moves is increased by 20%.】

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

Is this the breakthrough to perfection?

Seeing that the Limit Break Point column on Xiao Du's panel had changed from 1 to 2, Mu Yun was both surprised and delighted.

I never expected that a simple orb for learning and memorizing moves would bring so many surprises.

At first, he thought that as long as he loaded the memory orb and his proficiency in the moves was above the beginner level, it would be convenient for him to grind for experience on his own. He didn't expect that after learning, his proficiency would not only be directly raised to the perfect level, but also that the same type of double needle moves would be improved and directly reach the limit-breaking level.

"Hiss!!"

Just as Mu Yun was about to praise Xiao Du, he mobilized his energy again.

This time, the energy was quickly converted into ordinary properties and rapidly gathered onto the silvery-white bee stinger.

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

[Ding! Beedrill used Wild Attack, skill level +1!]

[Ding! Beedrill, having suddenly gained a great deal of insight into energy transformation, seems to have a new understanding of the move "Rampage," proficiency +12!]

[Ding! Beedrill used Wild Attack, skill level +1!]

[Ding! Beedrill, having suddenly gained a great deal of insight into energy transformation, seems to have a new understanding of the move "Rampage," proficiency +16!]

[Ding! Beedrill...]

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

"So the random attacks of the normal type have also been applied in this way?" Mu Yun was taken aback at first, but then he noticed something from the system's notification.

Reflections on changes in energy forms...

As we all know, there are two steps to a Pokémon unleashing a move. The first step is to convert the energy in its body into the energy required for the move. The second step is to release the energy in different forms.

For example, water guns, flames, lightning, or random slashing and cross-shaped scissors.

Although the energy attributes of the two moves are different after activation, the condensation effect is roughly the same.

No, to be precise, the difficulty of condensing the cross scissors is far greater than that of random strikes. Therefore, after Xiao Du's proficiency with the cross scissors reached perfection, he naturally gained more insights into similar moves.

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

[Ding! After persistent effort, Beedrill's skill - Wild Attack - has successfully broken through to the Perfect level!]

[Ding! Beedrill has gained 1 Limit Break Point!]

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

【Rampage (Limit Break +1, 369/2000): During the skill's duration, the hardness of the twin needles is increased by 200%, the penetration of the twin needles is increased by 200%, the flight speed upon release is increased by 150%, and the power of all the user's normal attribute skills is increased by 20%.】

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

It's so great to learn and memorize moves!

Now Mu Yun is increasingly looking forward to what the random skill reward for the first place winner will be after the end-of-month assessment.

If it were a super move like Super Horn Strike (Insect, 120), Divine Bird Strike (Flying, 140), or Hyper Beam (Normal, 150), wouldn't Xiao Du just take off?

No, if I were to draw Divine Bird Strike, it would be more appropriate to give it to Namikaze...

What if it's a move that's useless, like Crazy Plant (Grass, 150), Hydro Cannon (Water, 150), or Explosive Flame (Fire, 150)...?

Ah, this is truly a happy trouble.

Envisioning a bright future, Mu Yun's smile grew even wider.

Mu Yun quickly came to his senses.

He noticed that Xiao Du, who had somehow ended up on the table, was now looking at him curiously.

"Hiss?"

(What's the owner laughing about? They seem so happy.)

Little Du rested its snow-white stinger naturally in front of it, tilting its head as it began to think.

As a mature elf, when his master suddenly laughs, should he also laugh along?

Seeing that Xiao Du had noticed his silly grin, Mu Yun wasn't embarrassed at all. They were all family, so what was there to be embarrassed about?

He chuckled and ruffled Xiao Du's hair, showering him with praise: "Xiao Du, you're amazing! You're incredibly talented and quick to learn. You truly are the kid I've raised with all my hard work!"

"Hiss~~"

Feeling the warmth of Mu Yun's palm and hearing his heartfelt praise, Xiao Du's bloodshot eyes narrowed into slits with joy.

The happy laugh after being praised is the proper response a mature elf should give to its master, hehehe~~~

That's so cool! I'm awesome!!

Not far away, on the back of the sofa, Bo Feng looked at Xiao Du, who was grinning foolishly after Mu Yun gently patted his head, with a question mark on his face.

What's going on? Why are they touching each other's heads one minute, practicing moves the next, and then suddenly laughing like idiots together the next?

I don't think I left, but it feels like I missed a million shows...

Bofeng was puzzled, Bofeng was sad, Bofeng pouted...

"Namikaze, come here! I'm in a good mood today, let's take a bath together, and I'll give you a massage afterwards!"

Seemingly sensing Bo Feng's resentful gaze, Mu Yun waved his hand and spoke passionately.

"Mwah~~!!"

Upon hearing Mu Yun call his name, Bo Feng's resentment vanished instantly, and he happily flapped his wings and flew over.

Yay, time for a bath and massage!

Today is another day filled with happiness!
