my pokemon player.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, five days have passed since Lao Ma and his group of newbies came online.

During these five days, the newbies gradually became familiar with the world of Pokémon.

From a novice who screamed and shouted when he first saw Pokémon, to a trainer who now swallows down black bread without batting an eyelid and saves money to train Pokémon.

There is no obvious difference between them and the old players. Only their level and strength, as well as their slightly immature command methods during battles, reveal their newbie status.

Among the many newbies, there are quite a few newcomers who are emerging and catching up with the old players, such as the maverick and high-class Long Aotian, and Lao Ma who clings to Hao Ren.

Facts have proved that if there is an old player who is willing to wholeheartedly help a newbie grow, as long as the newbie has no problems with his brain, he will definitely be able to grow quickly.

Just like how, under the care of Hao Ren, Lao Ma first easily subdued the handsome and rare little fire horse, and then, at the recommendation of Brother Crow, he accepted the task of capturing hazelnut balls for the flying unit.

He defeated the self-destructing hazelnut balls to upgrade the level of the little fire horse, and completed the task of capturing hazelnut balls to earn a lot of elf coins.

What? Why can't other newbies imitate Lao Ma?

Are you kidding? No one really thinks that anyone can take on the mission of the flying unit.

Moreover, the hazelnut balls on the edge of the Firefly Forest had long been lured to the flying troops by old players. Now if you want to encounter the hazelnut balls, you can only go deep into the Firefly Forest.

However, if a newbie does not have the protection of veteran players, going deep into the Firefly Forest would be seeking death. After all, not all Pokémon are close to humans, especially some Pokémon with a strong sense of territory.

If players rashly step into their territory, they will see it as a provocation and will definitely attack the players. Only experienced players who are familiar with the forest routes can avoid it.

However, the old players are busy with their own development and exploring the content of version updates, so they don’t have the time to help newcomers level up. Unless the newcomers agree to join their guild, they will take some time to help the newcomers.

Even so, veteran players will not provide round-the-clock help like Hao Ren does, and take care of Lao Ma like a nanny. Isn't that just asking for trouble?

In fact, even Brother Crow didn't quite understand Hao Ren's approach at first. Although Hao Ren explained that Lao Ma had once helped him in his time of need, this reason sounded reasonable at first glance, but it was completely untenable upon closer inspection.

Who in their right mind would repay a favor in a game? Moreover, this method of forcing things to happen will only reduce the entertainment value of the game, which is really incomprehensible.

However, Brother Crow may have been persuaded by Hao Ren's poor reasons, or he may have figured something out on his own, and he also took good care of Lao Ma.

Patrick even treated Ma as his own and kept trying to persuade him to go out to sea with him to catch jellyfish.

In this way, with the help of the three veteran players, Lao Ma's strength soared like a rocket, and he passed the junior trainer assessment in just five days.

"Xiao Hao, can you check if my badge is worn crookedly?" Old Ma asked Hao Ren with his teeth bared, his mouth almost reaching the sky.

Looking at Lao Ma, who was holding his head high and showing the same smile as Wang Yousheng, and was afraid that other players would not see that he was wearing the junior trainer badge, Hao Ren shook his head helplessly.

"You've asked me this question three times. Can't you show off to someone else?"

"Hey, I don't know any other players. I can't just catch one on the street and ask him, 'How do you know I passed the junior trainer assessment?'" Lao Ma said with a smile.

The corner of Hao Ren's mouth twitched slightly: "You said that, which means you already have this idea. Are you really going to show off to passers-by?"

Facing Lao Ma's erratic and guilty look, Hao Ren sighed: "Why are you so arrogant? You are just a junior trainer. What's there to brag about?"

"Why can't a beginner trainer show off? Aren't you also a beginner trainer?"

At the end of his speech, Lao Ma's voice suddenly dropped to a low voice, but Hao Ren still heard it.

He was so angry that he laughed. He said unhappily, "Okay, okay, since the honorable junior trainer looks down on my strength, you should play by yourself from now on!"

Hearing this, Lao Ma quickly explained: "Don't! How could I look down on your strength? If you hadn't taken the trouble to help me level up these past few days, I might not even have captured my first Pokémon, let alone a beginner trainer!"

"You have also read my work report. I praised you a lot and took credit for you. Moreover, your sister-in-law also knew that I met a noble person, so she specifically asked me to invite you to her home."

"You just want to adopt my daughter as your goddaughter, so come to my house and get this done. From now on, we will be family!"

Hao Ren glanced at the smiling Lao Ma and said, "We have been family for a long time, haven't we? You have been calling me godfather these days."

"Well, then we are even closer relatives!" Old Ma was not annoyed when he heard Hao Ren's teasing, but smiled even more brightly.

Looking at Lao Ma's reckless look, Hao Ren had no choice but to smile bitterly and say:

"No wonder you can become the leader of the first group. Some people say you are heartless, but they don't know that you are smarter than a monkey!"

"But I have to remind you that we have signed a confidentiality agreement. Don't tell my sister-in-law everything."

Old Ma smiled and said, "Don't worry, you said I'm smarter than a monkey, so I know what's going on. Your sister-in-law only knows that you helped me with my work, and she doesn't know anything else."

"She also knows that my job is special, and she never asks about my work on weekdays. If I hadn't mentioned the matter of finding a godfather, she wouldn't even ask who you are."

Hearing this, Hao Ren gave a thumbs up and said, "Sister-in-law is really a good wife. You are amazing to have married such a good wife!"

When Lao Ma heard this, the best compliment for a man, he couldn't help but laugh: "Hahahaha, your sister-in-law is really excellent. Do you want me to ask her to introduce you to some good girls?"

"You are not young anymore. Your career is going smoothly now. It is time for you to consider starting a family. You have very good conditions. You can even live in Kyoto."

"Stop, don't say anymore!" Before Lao Ma could finish his words, he was interrupted by Hao Ren.

"It's ok that my parents are urging me to get married in the real world, but you are also urging me to get married in the game, right?"

"We both have a mission to complete right now, so I don't have the time to talk about love. Besides, fate can't be rushed. Let's get back to talking about the game."

Seeing Hao Ren's firm attitude, Lao Ma did not try to persuade him anymore, but cooperated and said:
"Okay, let's talk about the game. Your strength should be enough to pass the intermediate trainer assessment, right? Why don't you take the assessment?"

During these few days, Hao Ren's strength has also improved. The Xinye cat, which was already at a high level, transformed into the Dilei cat two days ago.

Not only has its strength increased significantly, but its temperament has also become more eccentric. It often uses vines to wrap up Hao Ren, trying to attract Hao Ren's attention through pranks. The strength of the pair of rats and pots has also increased a lot, and the intermediate trainer assessment does not limit the number of Pokémon, so Hao Ren is likely to pass the assessment.

"I want to improve my strength and make sure everything is safe before taking the test." Hao Ren said while stroking the Poké Ball on his waist.

"As you know, if you fail the assessment, you will need to wait for a while before you can take the next assessment. The higher the level of the trainer assessment, the longer the interval."

"Beginner trainers only have to wait three days before they can take the next assessment, but if an intermediate trainer fails the assessment, they will have to wait a full seven days before they can take the assessment again."

"So I would rather train for two more days than waste seven days. I don't want to rely on luck to pass the test like you did."

Old Ma was immediately unhappy when he heard this: "What do you mean by relying on luck? I clearly defeated the examiner in an upright manner and passed the practical test!"

"I'm talking about the knowledge test. Your score is just enough to pass. If you were one point short, you wouldn't be able to take the practical test. Isn't this just relying on luck?" Hao Ren asked calmly.

Lao Ma was speechless for a moment, and could only stammer and explain: "Luck is also a part of strength."

"Besides, why didn't you old players have to take the test on Pokémon knowledge in the first place, but now we new players have an extra test item? Isn't this bullying the newbies?"

"I don't know either." Hao Ren shrugged and guessed, "Maybe as the number of players increases, in order to reduce the pressure on the examiners, a new knowledge test was specially added to eliminate a group of players."

"Don't think it's unfair. We didn't have the conditions we have now. The Pokémon encyclopedia on the official website was almost blank. Every time we encountered a Pokémon we didn't recognize, we had to try it out little by little."

"If there was a knowledge test at that time, most players probably wouldn't have been able to pass it." Hao Ren's eyes revealed memories of the past.

Lao Ma touched his chin and said, "That's not right. You should be talking about the situation of the first two batches of veteran players. When you entered the game, the Pokémon Encyclopedia was not as rich and complete as it is now, but it was not empty."

"Ahem, that's not important. Anyway, the intermediate trainer assessment has also added a knowledge assessment, and I have to memorize some Pokémon knowledge."

Hao Ren's tone was filled with regret: "If I had known earlier, I would have taken the test before the version update. What if I passed it?"

Hearing this, Lao Ma smiled frivolously: "There is no regret medicine in the world, you'd better memorize it honestly, the questions in the knowledge test are so abnormal."

"Is this true? Isn't it said that the knowledge test for junior trainers is very simple?" Hao Ren frowned.

"Simple? Are you kidding me?" Lao Ma said indignantly, "Then let me ask you, what kind of Pokémon is Desert Dragonfly?"

"Dragon attribute and ground attribute." Hao Ren blurted out.

"Your answer is wrong! How do you know the correct answer?" Lao Ma asked in shock.

"Why don't I know? Is this question difficult?" Hao Ren asked back.

Lao Ma's eyes widened as he said, "Isn't it easy? Most people would think that Desert Dragonfly is a bug-type Pokémon, or a flying-type Pokémon!"

"What the hell is a ground attribute? It has wings and can fly! And how can it have a dragon attribute? Charizard will probably cry if he knows this!"

Facing Lao Ma's complaints, Hao Ren said calmly: "What's the big deal? There is a Pokémon named Scorpio that has both ground and flying attributes."

"An old player wanted to use Electric-type Pokémon to counter Scorpio, but he was immune to Electric-type moves. Then we discovered that Scorpio also has Ground-type moves."

"As for the dragon attribute, I've already said that this is the game officials' bad taste. Long Aotian doesn't mind it, so why are you yelling about it?"

"In the final analysis, it's because you don't pay enough attention to Pokémon knowledge. The veteran players have helped you find out the places where you are prone to make mistakes. They just need to feed you the Pokémon knowledge, but you don't swallow it and keep complaining."

"Instead of complaining here, you might as well go to the official website to look at the Pokémon Encyclopedia, or go to the Meowth Chamber of Commerce to buy a simplified version and carry it with you. Take it out and recite it from time to time to avoid making such stupid mistakes again."

Hearing what Hao Ren said, Lao Ma couldn't help but doubt his life. Was it really his problem?

It seems that I really need to buy a Pokémon encyclopedia, otherwise I won’t be able to grasp the attributes of Pokémon!

Hao Ren was full of confidence. He thought the knowledge test would be very difficult, but it turned out to be just some basic questions.

Although the knowledge test for intermediate trainers is definitely more difficult, judging from the difficulty of the entry-level test, it shouldn't be that difficult.

As long as there are no abnormal questions like how long is the tongue of a person with big tongue, he is confident that he can pass the knowledge test.

So Hao Ren, in a good mood, said to Lao Ma: "Well, don't be depressed here. Regardless of whether it was by luck or not, you have already passed the junior trainer assessment and are ahead of most newcomers. What else are you dissatisfied with?"

"That's true. I'm considered an expert among the new players!" Lao Ma felt that what Hao Ren said made sense. He immediately regained his spirits and said with anticipation in his eyes.

"When are we going to capture my second Pokémon? My requirements are not high, the three starter Pokémon and quasi-god Pokémon are all fine~"

Hao Ren couldn't help but roll his eyes at Lao Ma when he heard this: "Do you want to hear what you are saying?"

"It's still broad daylight in the game, and you're already dreaming. You still want to subdue a quasi-god, why don't you subdue a divine beast instead!"

"Ah? Is there still the option of a divine beast?"

"go away!"

Hao Ren left without looking back, and Lao Ma chased after him with a shameless face, continuing to hug Hao Ren's thighs tightly, and playing the game like a fish in water.

On the other hand, Li Xiang was in a terrible situation.

At this time, Li Xiang was sitting on the shore of the deserted island, looking at the fruit he had taken a bite of, with an expression of wanting to cry but unable to.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Five days! Five whole days!"

"Do you know how I spent the past five days?" (End of this chapter)
