Pokémon: I picked up a reborn Eevee at the start of the game

Is this... a plot-driven death?

Kirlian, who had played several games with Xia Chen, considered this possibility.

No wonder this forest lizard is so strong that it seems like it's an opponent I can't defeat at this stage.

However, Kirlia did not want to continue the simulation.

Firstly, this powerful forest lizard could be an excellent practice subject for him.

Secondly, she wanted to see what kind of reward she could get by ending the simulation here.

…………

Kirullian has figured out another function of this simulator: to get stuck at a node and farm rewards.

She discovered this in the Phantom Groudon level; she doesn't know if it counts as a loophole or not.

If the game ends due to failure at the same point, there is a high probability that the simulated reward will be repeated.

With her strength, she could have easily passed Groudon long ago.

But in order to farm candies, Kirlia would always let Pikachu die first in that stage, and then she would fight Groudon alone.

Kirlian got stuck on that level seven or eight times, and fed Sylvanas and Zoroah a lot of Power Candies that could be used to increase their attack, until the system rating was very low and the rewards became worse, before she finally gave up.

Since the system did not warn me, it means that this method does not violate the rules.

So she decided to check what the reward for this level was before making a choice.

If it were a candy with other abilities, or even a Ralts candy that was exclusive to Kirlia, she would definitely try to get it eight or nine more times.

Thinking this through, Kirullian said, "Let's stop simulating."

[You're such a clever little devil! This world simulation has ended. The system rating is A+. Please select your simulation reward.]

[Option 1: Energy Level +2 (As you expected, this option's level will decrease significantly after evolving into Kirlia!)]

Option 2: Guardian Candy XL x 8 (Candy Gift Pack! Eat it and you'll be as resilient as Pot Pot!)

[Option 3: Ability - Fragment of Aura Power (Aura resides within my heart! Every living being possesses Aura, and this is a wondrous item capable of activating it!)]

Well, just as I thought, because I passed the Phantom Groudon level for the first time, and the simulation result was also A+.

However, this is only the evaluation for the first clear. The more you clear the game, the lower the evaluation will be, and the worse the rewards will be.

…………

Pulling herself back to reality, Kirullian began analyzing the three different rewards.

The choice of an unchanging energy level was indeed reduced significantly after I evolved into Kirlia.

Even the last A+ rating was a level four, but now it's only half that.

Kirlia had a premonition that once she evolved into Gardevoir, her power would only decrease.

Moreover, things that can be acquired over time are not worth choosing.

The second reward is even more of a surprise: eight Guardian Candies that increase defense!

This is much more versatile than Power Candy, since not every Pokémon needs to attack, but no Pokémon would complain about having too much defense.

This is still a great place to farm candy when you're stuck on a level!

Before Kirlia could even finish celebrating, the next option that appeared made her gasp for breath.

A new fragment of power: Aura Force!

Having been in this world for so long, Kirlia has already learned a bit about what Aura is.

It is a spiritual energy that exists in the heart of every living being, and its strength varies from person to person.

The powerful can sense the waveguides of other life forms, use telepathy, attack, create barriers... their applications are extremely wide-ranging.

The weak, namely the vast majority of people and elves in the world, are unable to use it.

It can be said that this new ability fragment completely covers the original [telepathy] ability fragment.

But Kirullian's excitement wasn't solely due to this incident; she suddenly recalled Xia Chen's angry and resentful state in the Enchanted Forest a month ago.

A bold idea suddenly popped into Kirullian's mind.

What if Xia Chen could use this ability fragment?

If candy can work, why can't ability?

Kirullian asked nervously, "System, can my abilities be used on other people?"

Chapter 171 Beautiful Energy Cube Launch Event

Kirullian asked nervously, "System, can my abilities be used on other people?"

[sure.]

Kirlia was so happy she almost shouted out those four simple words.

This means that if Xia Chen can exchange for three fragments of Aura Power, he will be able to possess Aura Power!

"You've taken care of me for so long, now it's my turn to repay you..." Kirlian murmured to herself.

Without hesitation, she said, "I choose option three!"

[A wise choice! Congratulations on obtaining a Waveguide Power Fragment!]

[This simulation is now complete. Next time...]

"Wait a minute, system!"

Kirullian suddenly interrupted, excitedly asking, "Can that telepathic energy fragment be replaced with something else?"

The system was rendered silent by Kirlia's ingenious idea, and after a while, a voice rang out.

[The item recycling feature is now available. You can select an unused reward to recycle; you will only receive reward items of the same or lower level.]

Lower level? But the system has never categorized reward items into different levels...

Could it have been divided up secretly?

Anyway, that fragment of telepathic ability is useless, so let it be reincarnated.

"Fragment of the Reincarnation [Telepathy] Ability!"

[Reincarnation successful! Congratulations on obtaining 5 Ralts Candies XL!]

Ralts candy?

Although exchanging a power fragment for a single-use candy seems like a bad deal, Kirullian doesn't think so. She believes that as long as it's useful, that's enough.

Clearly, if Xia Chen were to master the power of wave guidance, the exclusive candy would be more useful to him than the fragments of telepathic ability.

However, after asking two questions today, Kirlian realized that the system had these other uses.

It seems there are still many more features to explore.

The cycle of reincarnation ended, and I was plunged into familiar darkness.

[Countdown to the next simulation begins: 239:59:59]

…………

"Stop training, Kirlia! We'll be late if we don't leave now!"

Before her consciousness had fully recovered from the simulated world, Kirullian heard Xia Chen's voice.

She then remembered that she was supposed to go out today.

Xia Chen seems to have said it was... the launch event for the Beauty Energy Cube?

Today is June 5th, and more than a month has passed since Xia Chen returned to Donghuang.

After five months of a hectic life of maximizing his daily steps on the Pogaman app, Xia Chen finally enjoyed a month of the peaceful time he had been longing for.

Of course, being calm doesn't mean completely giving up; daily exercise and Pokémon training will still continue.

The elves also experienced a period of rapid growth with little rest during the first five months, especially Sylvanas and Kirlia, who were blessed by Xerneas at the end.

Maintain a balance between work and rest.

During this month, the elves' tired bodies and minds were completely relaxed.

Although their strength has not grown as rapidly as before, they have made good use of the gains from their previous rapid growth.

Moreover, it's not just elves who need time to mature; Xia Chen also needs to recharge, for another profession besides being a student: a food vlogger, which he has long forgotten.

After the Yveltal incident, Xia Chen's fan count unsurprisingly surpassed ten million.

Although most of them are zombie fans who focus on things like Sylveon's evolution, Beautiful Energy Cube, and the Legendary Pokémon incident, some of them also watched Xia Chen's previous videos and became food fans.

After a five-month trip to Carlos, Xia Chen had been away from Donghuang cuisine for far too long.

Although portable stoves existed back then, he still cooked for himself most of the time.

But the soul of Donghuang cuisine lies in its diverse cooking techniques and various seasonings. You certainly can't make something so refined and complex in the wild, but once you get home, Xia Chen can really show off his skills.

It satisfies both my and the elves' appetites, and I can also shoot videos to make up for the updates I've missed.

As a result, Xia Chen maintained a high update frequency of almost three times a week for the past month.

…………

Besides these mundane daily routines at home, Xia Chen's life this month was also filled with...

I would occasionally take Milotic to Yunze Lake for a visit, check on the progress of Milotic's evolution experiments at my own company, and even return to my alma mater to experience a little "homecoming in glory" at the college entrance examination rally.

Xia Chen initially refused to give a speech at his alma mater's rally.

In his view, this was just like how people in his previous life, who were admitted to prestigious universities in advance, would deliberately loiter in front of the exam center during the college entrance examination, which would arouse their jealousy.

Whenever a reporter interviews him, he says, "Oh, I've already been admitted to Peking University, but the college entrance exam shouldn't be too difficult, right?"

Xia Chen was certainly not that kind of person. He always kept a low profile and never did anything pretentious.

But the old principal used both bribery and moral blackmail, and Xia Chen finally couldn't resist and agreed to give a speech on stage.

However, his classmates were quite respectful of this student who had already achieved a series of accomplishments, both big and small, before even graduating from high school.

The final speech went very well.
