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

"Good morning, Nutbell, Corviknight!"

As Mu Yun walked down the corridor, he raised his hand to greet everyone.

Despite appearing anxious before, Steel-Armored Raven reverted to its cool demeanor upon seeing Mu Yun, offering a lukewarm greeting.

Nut Dumbbell remained enthusiastic, its three tentacles moving in turn until it reached Mu Yun, looking at him expectantly.

"Don't worry, I brought everything."

Mu Yun smiled and reached into his backpack, taking out an oversized insulated lunchbox that was almost as wide as his schoolbag.

"Try it, it's my first time making this, I don't know if it will suit your taste."

Mu Yun picked up a jasmine melon cheese mochi fry and, under the unblinking gaze of the Steel-Armored Raven, stuffed it into the mouth of the Nut Dumbbell.

After Liu Jianhao left last night, Mu Yun finally had time to finish making the dessert. Since it needed to be refrigerated, he put it directly into the refrigerator.

I wonder how the desserts made by a Level 3 cook will taste...

"nut!!!"

As the mochi fries burst open in your mouth, the moment they're bitten open, you'll feel a burst of rich jasmine fragrance and honeydew melon sweetness, all exploding in your mouth.

Its soft, chewy, and sweet texture was even more delicious than her favorite milk candy these past few days!

Seeing the blissful look on Nut Dumbbell's face, the Armored Raven opened its beak, seemingly wanting a bite too. However, being used to its aloofness, it suddenly didn't know how to do it without ruining its image.

During the time he wasted, Wang He's voice rang out in the corridor: "Alright, stop eating, let's exercise first."

Upon hearing this, Mu Yun put away the mochi fries and, with a heart full of joy and a bouncy gait, went into the gravity chamber.

Only the Steel Crow, its wings outstretched and suspended in mid-air, remained, staring blankly at the departing figures of the human and the elf.

Steel-armored Raven: Why don't you ask me?

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

"Instructor Wang, would you like to try some?"

Once inside the gravity chamber, Mu Yun pointed to the insulated lunchbox containing mochi fries in his hand.

"I'll eat later. You get ready and start training," Wang Heyi said sternly.

But whether it was Mu Yun's imagination or not, he seemed to see Wang He's Adam's apple bobbing.

"By the way, let's just put this in the monitoring room for now. It's too much trouble to keep taking it back and forth." Wang He casually mentioned this as Mu Yun was about to stuff the lunchbox into his backpack.

Mu Yun glanced at Wang He, but didn't ask any further questions. After placing the item on the monitor in the control room, he got up and went to the neutral zone.

"Nuts, nuts~~"

Looking at the mochi fries right in front of him, Nut Dumbbell called out to Wang He, clearly wanting another bite.

"Alright, let's train first, we'll eat later, you'll get your share." Wang He pushed away the tentacles that the nut dumbbells were reaching out to him and said.

"nut......"

Nuts Dumbbell shrugged and had no choice but to climb into the transparent jar to begin today's gravity-intensified workout.

"I wonder who Mu Yun learned his cooking skills from. His cooking is so delicious that even the elves can't resist it," Wang He said, shaking his head in admiration.

As he shook it, the insulated lunchbox containing jasmine melon cheese mochi fries came into his view.

The lunchbox looked ordinary, but Wang He couldn't help but salivate and his Adam's apple bobbed as he thought of the delicious food from yesterday.

"Anyway, Mu Yun and Nuts Dumbbell will eat together after their training, so I'll just have a bite now. I can always eat one less later..."

Thinking about it, Wang He's rough, large hands silently covered the insulated lunchbox in a corner where the nut dumbbells couldn't see.

Unlike the overwhelming aroma of hot food that bursts out the moment the lid is opened, the aroma of chilled mochi fries is almost undetectable. Only when you get close can you smell a faint fragrance lingering around Wang He's nose.

It's light yet alluring.

"This color is quite nice."

After offering a simple compliment, Wang He picked up a mochi fry and popped it into his mouth.

Then......

"How about I have one more? At worst, I'll just eat two less later..."

"The last one, just one..."

"Huh? Why is the lunchbox empty? Honestly, I must have taken the wrong one. I accidentally left the lunchbox that I washed yesterday here. Hahaha, I'm really getting old~~"

As he muttered to himself, Wang He quickly stacked the two empty lunchboxes on top of the empty lunchbox containing mochi fries, looking completely calm as if nothing had happened, and turned his gaze to Mu Yun.

Twenty minutes passed quietly.

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

"As expected, even with a proficiency level exceeding 400, there was no reaction. I guess I'll have to wait until after 500 to increase my constitution next time..."

After completing a set of gymnastics exercises, Mu Yun slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

Although there was no clear notification sound indicating improved physical fitness, he felt a little more relaxed each time he did the exercises, as his proficiency increased.

After wiping away his sweat, Mu Yun walked into the monitoring room.

What came into view was Wang He, who was holding a black notebook without looking up and looked very busy, and Nut Dumbbell with a resentful look on its face and three tentacles dancing wildly.

What's going on?

"Instructor Wang, what's going on here?"

Mu Yun asked in confusion.

"Uh, it's nothing," Wang He said, looking up with a slightly unnatural expression.

"Is that so?" Seeing Wang He say this, Mu Yun didn't ask any more questions. But after seeing the two lunch boxes that suddenly appeared on the table, he seemed to remember something, quickly walked to his backpack, and took out two large lunch boxes of the same style from it, to Wang He's surprised look.

"Instructor Wang, I made a lot of food this morning. Would you like to help me with some of it?" Mu Yun said.

"No problem, just leave it here." Wang He grinned, all the embarrassment of being caught stealing food vanishing.

Lunch is good! No matter how delicious desserts are, they're just for flavoring. What fills your stomach is rice!

"Nuts, nuts!!"

Seeing that Wang He had a new lunchbox, Nuts and Dumbbells immediately came over.

One box equals one box, return the stolen food!

"Ahem, what's the rush? It's only morning. You'll get your share by noon!" Wang He pushed the tentacle of the Nut Dumbbell and said righteously again.

Upon hearing this, Nut Dumbbell looked at Wang He suspiciously, but in the end, he swayed his body up and down to indicate his agreement.

Steel-Armored Raven: Big Sister Nut Dumbbell, that's not necessarily true~~

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

The morning was spent with Xiao Du and Bo Feng diligently practicing their moves.

Thanks to sufficient UFO training, Xiao Du's proficiency with poison needles has increased significantly, and he should be able to reach the limit-breaking level next week.

As for the wave wind, his proficiency in impact and air blades has also improved.

The impact distance to break the limit is about the same, at most five days. The air blade takes a bit longer, and if there is no sparring partner, it will probably take more than a week.

If they practice recognizing the deception again along the way, the time will probably be extended even more.

No, I'll see if I can bring over some dumbbells this afternoon to be my sparring partner!

Sixteen times the experience, I absolutely have to get it!

"Xiao Du, Bo Feng, come and have lunch!" Inside the gymnasium, after finishing training, Mu Yun took out the prepared lunch and the top-grade [Speed] Energy Cube.

"Instructor Wang, aren't you going to eat?"

Seeing Wang He stuff the lunchbox into his backpack and pick it up to leave, Mu Yun asked in confusion.

"You guys eat. I have something to do this afternoon and won't be coming over tonight. I'll wash the lunchbox and give it to you tomorrow morning." With that, Wang He ignored Nut Dumbbell's "plea" and walked out of the gymnasium with Steel Crow.

"Nuts~~!!"

(No!!)

Nut Dumbbell was devastated. Her three tentacles drooped listlessly on the ground, and tears silently streamed down her hard shell.

She was still in shock even after Wang He's figure disappeared.

"Um, nut dumbbells, if you're hungry, would you like to have some?" Mu Yun didn't know what to say, so he opened a lunchbox and asked tentatively.

Unexpectedly, the nut dumbbell instantly changed its expression, its three tentacles rapidly alternating, and in the blink of an eye, it arrived in front of Mu Yun.

"Nuts, nuts!!"

She opened her mouth wide, raised her head, and looked at Mu Yun with hopeful eyes, as if to say, "You can't be like that bad man and break your word!"

Seeing her wide-open mouth and the tear stains still wet at the corners of her eyes, Mu Yun smiled helplessly, reached out and picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork and stuffed it into her mouth.

"If you eat my food, you'll have to be my training partner later!"

"Nuts, nuts!!"

(As long as there's food, she'll do anything!!)
