The beautiful woman understood what was going on and hurriedly called out to You Zhi, "Young man, thank you for saving my daughter. If you don't mind, please come in and rest for a while."
You Zhi looked up at the sky and thought it would be nice to have a free dinner.
The beautiful woman misunderstood that he was hesitating and said hurriedly, "If we let our savior leave like this, the Croft family will definitely be laughed at for not knowing etiquette."
"Then excuse me."
Seeing You Zhi agreed to stay, the girl couldn't help but smile, but when she saw her mother's playful look, she quickly restrained herself and pretended to be a lady.
You Zhi followed the mother and daughter into the villa and met a housekeeper and two maids on the way. As expected, the beautiful woman invited him to stay for dinner, while the girl went back to her room to change her clothes.
After staying in the living room for a while, just when You Zhi was wondering when the male host would appear, he suddenly heard a strange voice coming from the stairs.
"Oh~ My poor Phil baby, it's all because of that Akihitahara painting that was so charming. It took away Daddy's soul and made him forget to protect you. Come here and let Daddy see where you're hurt. Does it hurt?"
A silver-haired man exuding an artistic aura came down the stairs quickly, rushed towards the girl and wanted to give her a big hug.
"Dad, you are covered in paint. Don't touch me. You will stain my clothes."
The girl raised her hand to stop him, with a look of disgust on her face.
"Oh~NO~, my precious daughter actually started to dislike her father. Is this the rebellious phase?"
The silver-haired man grabbed his head with both hands and screamed in terror, looking as if the world was about to end.
"Dear, there are guests here, please be more steady."
The beautiful woman spoke up to remind him, then looked at the stunned You Zhi and explained, "I'm sorry to have made you laugh. My husband is not like this normally. It's just that once our daughter is involved, he forgets everything else."
You Zhi was certainly not surprised by the dramatic interaction between the father and daughter. What he really cared about was the identity of the silver-haired man.
Isn’t this guy the boss of the Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Kingdom arc, known as the father of Duel Monsters, the holder of the Millennium Eye, and the one who has the ability to read minds, Begas?
Chapter 9: Other People's Elves
While enjoying a sumptuous dinner with the Croft family, Youzhi was certain that the silver-haired man was indeed Pegasus from Yu-Gi-Oh, at least the personality was the same.
In Yu-Gi-Oh!, Pegasus is the son of a wealthy man who runs a Las Vegas casino. His dream is to become a painter. His lover Cynthia died young due to illness, and he was heartbroken. In order to relax, he traveled to Egypt and accidentally obtained the Millennium Eye. He then became the president of the International Illusion Society and invented the card game "Duel Monsters".
Bekas in this world is also the son of a wealthy man, but his life is not so bumpy. Not only did he achieve his childhood dream and become a famous painter in the art world, he also married his childhood sweetheart and had a lovely and well-behaved daughter. It can be said that he has achieved success in both love and career.
He is so happy that he naturally does not need a relaxing trip, and he will not have one of his eyes forcibly replaced because of curiosity. Therefore, his appearance is not like in the comics where half of his face is covered with hair, making him look very scheming. Instead, he exposes his entire forehead with long hair draped over his shoulders, exuding the aura of a literary middle-aged man.
No matter from which angle you look at it, Bekas in front of you is just an ordinary winner in life, except for his strange accent. This makes You Zhi feel at ease, at least he doesn't have to worry about the other party seeing the secrets in his heart.
"So you're still training now? Do you have any goals, like becoming a Spirit Master or League Champion?"
"I don't have a clear goal. If I had to say, it's probably because I think the world is so big and I want to go out and see it."
It is a rare opportunity to travel to another world, and Youzhi really wants to travel around the world and experience different customs and cultures, especially the elves.
"Well, it's true. Sometimes in life you just need a trip without any destination, where you can just go on a whim. When you grow up, these memories will become an invaluable treasure."
Ordinary people might think that You Zhi's answer was too frivolous, but for a middle-aged literary man who had never had to worry about making a living since he was a child, it was exactly what he wanted.
"Dear, are you dissatisfied with your current life?"
Cynthia, who had lived with her husband since childhood, heard the envy hidden in his words.
"Oh, of course not. I'm very satisfied with my current happy and stable life. My greatest wish is for this time to continue forever, until we can sleep together in the underworld. It's just that I've hit a creative bottleneck recently and can't create the kind of works that will catch people's eyes. I think I may be lacking a bit of inspiration like a shooting star streaking across the night sky."
"My dear, I think you need to accept the reality that a forty-year-old man who can't even fry an egg can't survive in the wild."
Beckas spread his hands and sighed, "This reality is so sad."
Cynthia smiled and consoled him, "You're past the age where you need experience. It's better to give the opportunity to the younger ones."
Phil said softly, "I'm just a young man who needs experience."
"For a child who encounters danger every time she steps a thousand meters from home, I think she has other things more worthwhile to learn than going out and experiencing life."
Phil's little thoughts were suppressed in an instant, and he could only poke the cake in front of him with a fork in anger and cut it into eight pieces.
"Did Miss Phil capture the spirits she was controlling in the forest herself?"
You Zhi asked curiously, this kind of elf with outstanding talents is a rare creature.
Beckas explained: "That was my sixteenth birthday present for her, but she didn't seem to like it very much."
Simply put, it is the ability to pay.
In the world of Pokémon, there is a setting where you can go to the game arcade to exchange tokens for Pokémon. This world is naturally no exception. There is even a profession called Pokémon Hunter, who specializes in capturing rare Pokémon and then selling them to rich people.
Compared to Poké Balls that need to be carried around, Poké Cards that can be hidden in the spiritual power space are undoubtedly much safer. Therefore, no one has ever thought of forcibly snatching other people's Pokémon, and Pokémon that have already been captured cannot be captured by others.
Phil said, "I like those elves who are tall and mighty, and who give people a sense of security at first glance. The Silent Magician is not even as tall as me."
You Zhishen agreed. He also liked macho Pokémon. For example, among Pokémon, he liked Gyarados, Banjiras, and Tigrex.
What, someone likes Gardevoir, Long-eared Rabbit, and the Sweet and Cold Queen?
Is that love? It's obvious that he is just lusting after their bodies, how despicable!
"It seems that my baby daughter did not inherit her father's artistic aesthetic." Bekas said with regret.
Youzhi recalled the Cartoon World deck that the other party used in Yu-Gi-Oh, as well as the ace monster Thousand-Eyed Natsume, and thought to himself that your aesthetic taste is not much better.
Cynthia said, "I'm on my daughter's side this time. Safety is more important than artistic aesthetics. Silent Magician is great, but its trait only works when battling a trainer. I suggest getting her a more suitable one, so she won't be in danger if she encounters a wild Pokémon."
Beckas said, "Okay, I'll ask someone to keep an eye out for the next elf auction."
Suddenly, Phil's expression changed, and he said nervously, "You are not allowed to go to the auction. I would rather not have an elf!"
"No, no, listen to me, baby. I will at most entrust someone else to buy it, but I will never go there myself." Becas quickly comforted.
Phil's expression softened, and he suggested, "Then I don't want someone from the magician clan, either the dragon clan or the warrior clan will do."
"The magician clan also has tall and mighty elves," Bekas said helplessly, "Our family has always controlled magician elves. Using another race would be ridiculed."
Phil had excellent upbringing and didn't have the usual spoiled habits of a spoiled brat. She thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, but I have to see it first. No ugly ones."
You Zhi had no say in such conversations about wealthy people. Although he also cared about appearance, if he really met an elf with extraordinary talent, he would be able to convince himself to accept it. Common people had no right to be picky.
Practicality comes first, while personal preferences are taken into consideration.
After dinner, naturally, the Bekas family invited You Zhi to stay overnight in the villa. You Zhi was not a pretentious person, so why would he refuse if he could save on accommodation costs?
The next morning, You Zhi, who didn't like to sleep, came to the yard to do morning exercises after a good rest. This was a good habit he had developed in his previous life, and he didn't plan to give it up after traveling through time.
After greeting the housekeeper who also got up early, You Zhi came to the south entrance of the oak forest. He was looking for a quiet place where he would not disturb others, when he suddenly discovered that the elf that Phil had driven yesterday was not practicing in the distance.
The silent magician used his telekinesis to control many leaves to spin in the air, sometimes turning into arrows, sometimes into crosses, sometimes into triangles, switching back and forth between different forms, and then turning into more complex animal patterns.
Even You Zhi, who had no experience in superpower training, could see that the other party was clearly improving his telekinesis skills. What made him most envious was that the entire process was done spontaneously without any outside supervision.
"Someone else's elf!"
Chapter 10: Becas's Invitation
Daily training of elves cannot increase their levels, but they can learn new moves and improve their proficiency in moves.
Reality is not a game. Once your level increases, you will not automatically acquire new moves, nor will you be able to use them perfectly the moment you get started. If you don't want to make mistakes in actual combat, you have to rely on daily practice to master them.
The level is only linked to the basic attributes. By collecting data samples, Youzhi has deduced the calculation formula for the actual attack and defense values of the elves displayed by the plug-in: (0.5+0.1*level/star)*panel attack and defense values.
Health points cannot be calculated due to lack of data samples, but through experience in fighting with wild Pokémon, it can be roughly determined that it is proportional to the star rating. The higher the star rating, the higher the level and the higher the health points.
It is true that as basic attributes become higher, learning moves will become easier, and some powerful advanced moves also have requirements for basic attributes, but the two are not necessarily related.
Of course, it is not ruled out that some elves with strong talents will comprehend new moves on their own.
"Want to train together?"
You Zhi stepped forward and asked.
The Silent Magician hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
You Zhi decisively summoned the Demon Lizard Yihao. After all, the Goblin Assault Force was of the evil type, and summoning them would not serve the purpose of joint training. Moreover, the scene of a bunch of green-skinned monster uncles carrying maces and beating up children could easily make unscrupulous people think of something wrong.
The two elves started to fight. The Silent Magician had a lineage advantage, while the Demon Lizard Yihao had higher basic abilities. The two sides fought back and forth, and for a while they were evenly matched, or in other words, neither could do anything to the other.
The Demon Lizard Yihao, who had no means of long-range attack, tried to fight in close combat, but the Silent Magician used telekinesis to force him back. However, the elves' sensing ability was far superior to that of humans, so the Demon Lizard Yihao immediately used his agility to dodge. But once it rushed to the front, the Silent Magician would use instant teleportation to change position, so the Demon Lizard Yihao had to try to get close again, and the Silent Magician sniped him with telekinesis again.
The areas of expertise of both parties are completely unrelated, so it is natural that the situation is "you fight yours and I fight mine".
If the battle continues and neither side makes a mistake, the winner will be determined by one side being exhausted.
You Zhi watched for a while and then asked the Silent Magician, "You've only used telekinesis and teleportation. Do you have any other skills?"
The silent magician nodded, raised his staff and sent out mental waves again. This time, it was different from the previous telekinesis. The movement was smaller and more hidden. The magic lizard Yihao did not dodge under Youzhi's instructions. After being hit, its eyes became dazed, its eyelids began to slide down, and its body swayed, as if it was about to fall asleep on the spot.
"Hypnosis."
You Zhi naturally recognized the move with such obvious characteristics, but what surprised him even more was that the Demon Lizard Yihao quickly broke free with a loud roar.
This is obviously another difference between reality and games. Once the hypnosis in the game hits and takes effect, the elf will enter a sleeping state. Regardless of whether it will wake up in the next round, there will inevitably be a process of falling asleep. In reality, even if the elf is hit, it can force itself free by willpower. Considering that elves in battle are often extremely excited, it is really not an easy task to make them fall asleep on the spot.
"It seems that hypnosis can only be used for harassment or sneak attacks in actual combat." You Zhi thought for a moment and asked, "Can the advanced telekinesis technique 'Illusion Ray' be used?"
The Silent Magician shook his head.
"Do you know any other moves?"
The Silent Magician raised his staff and released mental waves to condense an invisible wall of telekinesis.
"Reflection wall, yes, you used it in the forest yesterday."
You Zhi reached out and patted it, and found that it was very solid, no less than a stone wall. This was another situation that was different from the game setting.
The reflection wall in the game reduces the damage caused by physical attacks by half. In reality, it is just an air wall. Either the force is not enough to break through it, or the force is enough to penetrate it directly. There is no such thing as only doing half damage to the opponent.
By the way, in this world, there is no distinction between physical attack and special attack, and light walls and reflective walls are the same thing.
After thinking for a moment, Youzhi ordered the Demon Lizard Yihao: "Use the split attack to reflect the wall."
The muscles in the Demon Lizard Yihao's arms bulged, and his claws tore through the air, hitting the invisible reflective wall and being bounced back, but when he swung out his second claw, he successfully broke it.
You Zhi rubbed his chin, pondered for a moment, and said to the Silent Magician, "I have two suggestions for you. Either learn to master the more damaging 'Illusion Ray', or increase the speed of the Reflection Wall. Its strength is secondary. As long as you can block the first attack and have a chance to counterattack, that's all. Of course, this is just my personal opinion. It's up to you whether you want to listen to it or not."
The Silent Magician nodded, then held the staff in one hand to his chest and bowed politely to express his gratitude.
"The elves of noble families are just different."
You Zhi turned to the Demon Lizard Yi Hao and said, "As expected, you still need to master some long-range attack methods. Forget about advanced moves like the Qi bomb. Try the rock blockade."
He remembered that most Fighting-type Pokémon could learn "Rock Blockade" through the move learning device. He was not sure whether the Demon Lizard Yihao could learn it on his own. If that didn't work, he would think of other moves.
In this world, there are skill stones with the same effects as move learning devices, and there are even stores that specialize in selling them, but they are extremely expensive and basically out of reach for poor people.
After instructing the two elves, You Zhi summoned the Goblin Assault Force, wanting to follow suit and formulate future training plans, but soon found that everything was in vain.
The Goblin Assault Team inherited the intelligence of the Assistant Goblin, but their discipline is really poor. They are always chattering. Although they will not disobey You Zhi's orders, they can't help but do some meaningless things during the execution, such as chatting and quarreling, picking up stones to catch ants, pulling each other's ears and kicking each other's buttocks.
This is not just a matter of personality, but also influenced by the characteristics of the elves.
The identifier's so-called "changing to defense position at the end of the battle phase" can be simply understood as the Pokémon King's characteristic of "laziness", which means he has to rest for one round after taking action for one round.
One goblin alone is annoying enough, let alone four of them gathered together. You Zhi felt like he was teaching a group of naughty kids, and it seemed like there were a bunch of flies buzzing in his ears. After a while, he couldn't stand it anymore and quickly put the other party back into the Pokémon card.
The world suddenly became quiet.
"Forget it, this guy just needs a righteous group fight, no need for any fancy skills or moves."
Afterwards, You Zhi exercised on his own for a while. The housekeeper came over and said respectfully, "Excuse me, sir. Breakfast is ready. The master is waiting for you to come back and eat together. If you are busy, I can keep your portion warm."
"Don't bother, I'll be back soon."
You Zhi went back to the room and wiped his face. When he came to the restaurant, he saw that the Becas family were sitting at their seats waiting.
"I'm sorry to have kept you all waiting. I'm just a guest. Just sending someone to let them know is enough. There's really no need to be so polite."
"As you should. You are not only our guest, but also our benefactor. No matter how polite you are, it's not too much..."
Just as Beckas was about to exchange his usual pleasantries, Phil secretly tugged at his shirt hem, so he could only helplessly say, "I have a humble request, I wonder if you would be willing to do me a favor?"
"please say."
"I would like to invite you to be Phil's private tutor and teach her practical experience."
