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

Points -115!

As points were deducted, all the berries needed for ten [Speed] Energy Blocks appeared in the storage space.

Mu Yun took them out one by one and processed them.

Finally, more than three hours later, a large jar of freshly made energy cubes appeared in front of Mu Yun.

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

[Ding! The host has completed ten crafting attempts of basic energy cubes, with the highest quality being excellent. Energy cube crafting skill experience points +162!]

【能量方块製作（LV2，853/1000）→能量方块製作（LV3，15/10000）】

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

[Ding! Through persistent efforts, the host's skill—Energy Cube Crafting—has broken through to LV3!]

[Energy Cube Crafting (LV3, 15/10000): Energy Cube nutrition +200%, Tree fruit energy distribution recognition (active), Energy Cube special effect cap +200%, Energy Cube absorption efficiency +100%.]

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

With all ten materials used up, the Energy Cube crafting skill was unsurprisingly upgraded to LV3!

The effectiveness of the entry has been improved once again!

First, the energy cubes increase nutrition by 200%, making one cube equivalent to three, which will save Mu Yun a lot of points in the future.

Subsequently, the additional cap for special effects of energy blocks was increased to 200%, and the cap for the [Speed] energy block's enhancement effect was also increased to 15%!

As for the last new addition, the energy block absorption efficiency is increased by 100%.

At first glance, it may not seem very useful, but in dangerous situations such as in the wild, a faster absorption rate can restore energy and physical strength more quickly, naturally providing more safety and security.

In addition, even during regular training, faster absorption allows Kodo and Namikaze to practice techniques and physical training more often.

Overall, the entries performed well.

"Come and eat something delicious~~"

Mu Yun picked up two top-quality [Speed] Energy Cubes and fed them to Xiao Du and Bo Feng.

In the past two weeks, the two little ones have eaten more than twenty [Speed] Energy Cubes, and the 10% bonus has been maxed out.

But now that the effect of the entry has been improved, it is natural to need to consume the newly created ones to make up for the added 5% effect.

After feeding them, Mu Yun started cleaning up the kitchen. Once everything was done, he took the two little ones for a bath and then went back to the bedroom to lie down.

He was lying in bed when he picked up his phone and saw a notification from Yunxin (a messaging app) light up on the screen.

Upon opening it, I found it was sent by Song Xiaomeng.

[Dreaming of Clouds and Moon (Song Xiaomeng): Xiaoyun, are you free tomorrow? Want to play in a small competition?]

Mu Yun glanced at the time; it was posted around 8:00. He was working on the energy cube at the time, so he hadn't noticed.

I wonder if Xiaomeng is asleep or not.

Thinking about it, he typed.

[Cloud Reader (Muyun): What competition? Tell me more! (Psyduck curious face.JPG)]

Perhaps Song Xiaomeng was also on her phone at the time, because almost a few seconds after Mu Yun sent the message, the message "The other party is typing..." appeared at the top of the chat box.

[Dreaming of Clouds and Moon (Song Xiaomeng): When I went out this afternoon, I saw a notice posted in front of the Asia-Europe Supermarket saying that an Orange Fruit Cup competition would be held tomorrow. The entry requirement is that participants are non-professional students. I guess it's a baby cup specially prepared for newcomers.]

Non-professional students currently enrolled in school...

Trainer levels range from low to high: new trainers who can register with just one Pokémon, professional trainers who need at least one professional-grade Pokémon, and star-level professional trainers who need to pass an assessment later.

For example, Song Xiaomeng is a two-star professional trainer.

Therefore, even though she was a student, she was still not eligible to participate.

[Dreaming of Clouds and Moon (Song Xiaomeng): How about it, interested? I heard the prizes are pretty good, including a berry gift pack, an energy cube gift pack, shopping vouchers of different amounts, and a mystery prize for the first place winner! (Eevee rubbing hands.JPG)]

A mystery reward?

Why is a rookie competition being made so mysterious?

Just as Mu Yun was pondering this, Song Xiaomeng sent him a picture.

The image is simple: a round, black shadow is placed on a glass tray with an exquisite pattern. Because it is completely blacked out, it is not visible at all.

[Dreaming of Clouds and Moon (Song Xiaomeng): Based on the official images, I think the mystery reward is most likely a low-quality treasure.]

[Cloud Reader (Muyun): Inferior Treasure? What does that mean?]

Mu Yun only knew about the classification of primary, intermediate, advanced and top-level treasures, and this was the first time he had heard the term "inferior treasure".

【Dreaming of Clouds and Moon (Song Xiaomeng): Inferior quality treasures are not an official classification, but rather a term used by some trainers in private to refer to treasures with limited usage times.

After all, normal treasures are rare and permanent. Compared to normal treasures, these treasures with limited uses are definitely inferior. [Eevee pushing up his glasses.JPG]

[Dreaming of Clouds and Moon (Song Xiaomeng): Of course, even though it's of low quality, as long as it's a secret treasure, it's still valuable. Although it can't compare to the million-dollar price of a normal low-level secret treasure, it can still be resold for tens of thousands.]

[Reader (Muyun): I'm very curious, why is this kind of low-quality treasure so valuable?]

[Dreaming of Clouds and Moon (Song Xiaomeng): My friend told me that these inferior treasures can be used for experiments or something, so some people buy them, but I don't know the specifics.]

To conduct an experiment?

Looking at the message in Yunxin's letter, Mu Yun turned over.

Is it because permanent treasures are too precious that they use this inferior product with limited uses for experiments?

As Mu Yun pondered, Song Xiaomeng sent another message.

[Dreaming of Clouds and Moon (Song Xiaomeng): Never mind, none of that matters. Are we going to the competition tomorrow? These kinds of fun competitions are very short, probably over in a day. Even if I don't get first place, the prizes for the top few are pretty good! (Ibu props himself up on the table.JPG)]

[Cloud Reader (Muyun): Sure, I'll go check it out then. It's been a while since I've had a match.]

I've been training every day lately, and it's nice to take a day off now and then to play some matches and relax.

What? You're saying that playing against others isn't relaxing?

That's for other people. For Xiao Du and Bo Feng in Mu Yun's family, playing the highest-level Baby Cup is no different from relaxing.

Most importantly, Mu Yun has his eye on that mysterious reward that seems to be an elven treasure!

It doesn't matter if it's of poor quality or not, as long as I can exchange it for energy points!

A few hundred energy points are equivalent to several days of his "ascetic training"!

What's more, playing matches can help you accumulate more points!

[Dreaming of Clouds and Moon (Song Xiaomeng): Then I'll come to your house at eight o'clock tomorrow morning!]

[Yun Reader (Muyun): Let's go to the entrance of Songjiang No.1 High School. I need to do some light morning exercise.]

Because Wang He wasn't at school, Mu Yun couldn't contact Nuts Dumbbell. To prevent her from waiting for him, he decided to go and tell her.

If time permits, you can even do a short morning exercise.

[Dreaming of Clouds and Moon (Song Xiaomeng): You practice on the weekend too? That's so cool! Okay then, what time are you going? I'll just practice with you for a bit. (Eevee's eyes light up.JPG)]

[Cloud Reader (Muyun): I'll arrive at seven o'clock. Will you wait for me at the door then?]

[Dreaming of Clouds and Moon (Song Xiaomeng): No problem, see you tomorrow!]

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

at the same time.

Inside Song Xiaomeng's bedroom.

"Hehe, I'm going on a date with Xiaoyun tomorrow! What should I wear? Black stockings and a skirt? No, the skirt is too short, I don't want anyone to see. How about long pants with black stockings, and then I can sneak a peek at Xiaoyun and give him a surprise! Hehe~~"

Wearing a silk nightgown, Song Xiaomeng rolled around on the soft bed, occasionally letting out a strange chuckle.

Beside her, Miao Miao, dressed as a doll and quietly leaning against the balcony glass, watched her trainer's outburst with a hint of confusion in her dazed eyes.

Is the owner mentally ill?

Sun Elf: Don't worry about her, she'll be fine in a bit.
