Elf: Is the bear apprentice the weakest? I'll shatter the sky with my fists.

Li Chen stroked his chin, and the image of the long-eared rabbit with large leaves appeared before his eyes.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Eileen's fist slammed into his shoulder.

"What indecent things are you thinking about!"

Her ears turned red, but her voice grew softer and softer.

Cheers suddenly erupted from the distant arena, and Da Ye's signature raspy voice came through the loudspeaker: "Ladies and gentlemen! Tonight's special is a battle against the true heroes!"

Li Chen and Eileen exchanged a glance and sighed simultaneously. Their wedding rings flashed with a helpless light under the neon lights.

The platform's digital clock showed 18:47, and neon signs lit up one by one in the deepening twilight. Li Chen glanced at his watch; the second hand was tracing the Dynamax energy symbol unique to the Galar region.

"There's still time."

He casually took the chilled tree juice that Eileen handed him; the condensation on the glass bottle dampened his wedding ring. Suddenly, Martial Arts Master Xiong pointed to the sky.

Three Steelravens streaked across the violet sky, leaving trails of brilliant flames—the signal that the pre-show performance in the arena was about to begin.

Meloeta poked her head out of Li Chen's bag and lightly jumped onto Eileen's shoulder.

The distant roar of a steam elevator carrying the distinctive tar smell of mechanical gears reached their noses.

Big Leaf's fiery red figure could already be recognized on the outline of the open-air battlefield 500 meters away. He was grooming Flareon with exaggerated body movements.

"Let's go."

Eileen suddenly grabbed Li Chen's arm, her high heels clicking crisply on the iron mesh floor. "Let that fire-elemental king see... what it means to experience both ice and fire."

Chapter 589 Chatting with the System

It's over.

I've been incredibly busy lately, often writing half of my work in the early morning and then getting up the next day to finish it before getting back to work. Sorry for the slow pace, guys...

The story was almost finished after the commissioned manuscript was completed.

Around mid-July? I wonder if I'll have a chance to write until the end of July.

These two chapters are simplified: they talk about Li Chen's current seniority, dig a few pits, and torture Da Ye.

If you want to see a battle, you can skip to the next chapter. This chapter is just about talking to the system.

......

......

"What do you mean by 'a world of ice and fire'? Don't talk nonsense."

When Li Chen heard what Eileen said, he reached out and flicked her nose, reminding her that there were some things she shouldn't say carelessly.

"What? You're the one who's got the wrong idea!"

Eileen's expression changed after Li Chen scraped her like that.

"Alright, alright, I won't argue with you. Let's settle this tonight after our match."

Li Chen didn't want to waste his energy on this matter.

I just want to use my abilities where they're needed.

Take, for example, serious business with Eileen.

Not what is being done now...

"Hate!"

Seeing that Li Chen was thinking about that kind of thing again, Eileen's expression turned a little strange.

"So what will we name our future children?"

But soon, Eileen's thoughts jumped to her future with Li Chen.

"Hmm... Anyway, the surname has to be Li. I can think of other names later. I also need to think of names for a boy and a girl."

Li Chen thought for a while but couldn't come up with a good name.

However, when it came to names, Li Chen became curious about his elders.

[System, speaking of which, what were my ancestors called?]

Don't you know what your ancestors were called?

I've never met my parents since I was a child, so how would I know where the family tree is?

Hmm...that makes sense! I forgot about that.

[It's not a big problem, I'll tell you after things are over.]

When will this end, after we finish fighting Wujitai? Or do we have to fight both of them?

Well, it really depends on the specific circumstances.

Anyway, you'll find out eventually. Just a heads-up, your great-grandfather was pretty powerful.

[What do you mean? If things go wrong on my end, he'll come and save the day, right?]

[Almost, but you shouldn't be unable to.]

[Yeah, if even with cheat codes, it's still not enough, then I, a transmigrator, am pretty pathetic.]

Indeed, your situation is much more serious than your great-grandfather's.

What does this mean?

Li Chen was somewhat puzzled.

To put it simply, although your great-grandfather started with Reshiram and his third Pokémon was Latias, he only reached the Elite Four level when he was in his early twenties. He didn't reach Champion level until he was thirty. As for reaching Master level, he didn't achieve that until he was forty.

[And you, Li Chen. At eighteen, you have a chance to reach the Heavenly King level, or even the Champion level. As for the Master level, or even... the Legendary level, there's a high probability you'll reach that stage by the age of twenty.]

You are the darling of the world, a precious gem cherished by everyone. Do what you want to do, as long as it's what your heart desires.

You will overcome all obstacles and forge ahead bravely.

Oh, right... there's one more thing I forgot to mention, something your great-grandfather asked me to tell you.

What's up?

Four is enough; too many is bad. You're similar to your grandfather (Li Qingfeng) in this respect. Don't be like him; it'll hurt your kidneys.

(PS: I got the generations mixed up before. Li Chen is a direct descendant of the Li family and Qingfeng's grandson. The previous ones have been corrected.)

【...】

So... does my dad have a similar situation?

What makes you feel like he doesn't have that illusion?

【...】

Li Chen remained silent.

I feel like my life as a "succubus" is inherited?

[Ahem, anyway, you're in a situation similar to a "legitimate prince" now. And since you're your father's only descendant, you're definitely the one he dotes on the most.]

【Yeah, right. Wait, you said my great-grandfather started with Reshiram? And then my dad was the True Hero... So, it's all in the same vein?】

[Pretty much, your family either has two heroes or just one purely realistic hero. The main focus is on one who's good-looking.]

Oh, by the way, everyone in your household has a heterochromatic Volcarona, it's practically become standard equipment.

The system couldn't help but make a comment.

[You seem to know my family very well, Tongzi. Are you some kind of Arceus tablet that has come to life?]

[Silly child, I am an incarnation of Arceus, do you believe me?]

[Great! Can you craft a legendary stone tablet first? Brother System, if you don't give it to me, I'm going to report you to my great-grandfather for stealing my system points.]

[Are you speaking Chinese? Are you repaying kindness with enmity?]

[Where did you get this from? Eileen's outfit cost me 5,000 system points! Are you selling fashion items here? Even Tencent's skins aren't this expensive! Tell me, what's the difference between this and robbery?]

[Yes, I did deduct points only after meeting your requirements; this is essentially price gouging.]

【….】

[Fine, your family has really maxed out the skill points for exploiting the system. Your great-grandfather is much better; although his strength improvement was indeed a bit slow, at least he's a decent person.]

Unlike some men who have four wives at once, and even treat the last one better than their first wife.

Why are you silent? Did I say something wrong?

[You don't understand the troubles of the blonde, elf-eared saintess. Besides, my love for them is the same for all of them, evenly divided among four!]

Search your conscience, would you dare say that to Xin Yong?

Why wouldn't you dare?

[Oh right, right, on average, you mean leaving your own childhood sweetheart in your hometown of Rongcheng, and even letting the others move into the villa first, right?]

That's different...

Hey kid, you're really not being honest, not like your grandpa at all.

What did my grandfather say?

[Your grandpa is totally biased! One Rico, one Coral, it's like a buy-one-get-one-free deal.]

[But speaking of which, your family and that guy named N are really close brothers, the kind of brothers who couldn't be closer.]

Is there anything else you want to ask? If not, I'll be going now. From now on, I'll automatically check you in, and the system will automatically repay your points.

That's all. Just remember to let me buy on credit if I need anything else.

Don't worry, we're brothers, I'll definitely let you buy on credit.

[Great, bro, when can I get my meal for free?]

[You fucking get out!]

"Ugh, that's so mean! They won't even let me get a free meal!"

Li Chen sighed, then pulled Eileen into his arms and gently rubbed her elf ears.

Chapter 590 VS Big Leaf Long-Eared Rabbit

"What, a free meal?"

Hearing Li Chen's complaints, Eileen blinked blankly, her tone slightly puzzled.

"I'm talking about the hotel. I've stayed here for so many days and it's still so expensive. Not only are they not offering free stays, but they're not even offering a discount."

Li Chen pursed his lips and called out to Eileen's elf ears again.

"Hmm..."

Eileen blushed as Li Chen held her ear in his mouth, but she didn't say anything.

She is no longer the girl who would cry her heart out if someone just put their ear in her mouth.

She's about to become a mother!

"Okay, let's continue when we get back to the hotel tonight."

Seeing that Eileen didn't say much, Li Chen simply stopped what he was doing and led her to the open-air battlefield.

The colossal battlefield, constructed of steel and steam, billowed white mist in the twilight, while sparks from eight industrial chimneys dyed the night sky orange-red.

Like migrating hummingbirds, the Rotom drone swarm circled and hovered around the site, flashing blue light. One of them suddenly swooped down in front of Li Chen, and the camera crew made a "click" sound as it focused.

"Both sides are in position, Loto!"

The drone's mechanical voice, mixed with electrical noise, was incredibly exciting: "This match uses the Galar standard rules, and the Max Energy is fully charged, Loto!"

Da Ye's afro stood out conspicuously from the opposite command seat as he used a lighter to style Flareon's tail.

"Hey, good evening!"
