Chapter 191: A Large Terror Chest, [TMS Sketch]! (5k)

Tongzige's assessment is that the amount of fear value comes from the difference in strength between the two Pokémon.

The difference between Winged Wing and the main Pokémon of a Gym Leader goes without saying.

Just considering the levels, the difference is at least thirty levels.

Just a few days ago, when Xia Chi checked her fear level, she found it was almost at 900.

Is it possible that this time we can break through the 1,000 fear level mark directly?
Let's not count friendly matches.
System Brother shouldn't be the kind of disgusting system.

Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Xia Chi said in his mind, "Brother Tongzi, open the battle log!"

Before checking the fear level, Xia Chi decided to take a look at the battle log first.

He had been curious for a long time about the level of the gym leader's main Pokémon.

[Your Pokémon with Wings of Flutter (lv.30) defeated a Mismagius (lv.65), gaining 68.7 Fear Points!]

[Your Pokémon, Wingslash Lv.31, defeated Electric Belly Frog Lv.63, gaining 61.3 Fear Points!]

Wait, did you level up after defeating the Dream Demon?

Victini's star player deserves a lot of credit!

But that's not the point.

As expected, their Pokémon levels are similar to those of normal Gym Leaders in the game; Mismagius and Froakie are both around level 60.

He defeated someone who was almost twice as strong, despite being only level 30.
Oh, not just twice the strength. As we all know, the higher the level, the more difficult it is to improve, and the greater the increase in strength.

In summary, although there were factors such as Qi Shu underestimating the enemy and other factors.

But having defeated an opponent with a terrifyingly large gap in strength, it's clear just how terrifying Sister Fa's late-game abilities are.

"Let's check the fear level again!"

[Current Fear Value: 1013.5. Dark-attribute bonded spirits deal 150% increased damage. There is currently one Fear Chest and one Large Fear Chest unopened.]

Undoubtedly, the Fear Chest was upgraded after the Fear value reached 1,000.

One thousand is a large fear chest, so what about ten thousand fear points?

Giant?

Xia Chi doesn't know if he will be able to reach this milestone in his lifetime.

Although it has only been half a year and it has already broken 1,000, it seems that 10,000 will be a matter of five years.

However, the difficulty of acquiring fear points is not constant.

As the Pokémon's strength gradually increases, in the future, I may be able to defeat Gym Leaders, Elite Four members, Champions, and even Legendary Pokémon to gain a high amount of Fear Points.

Forget it, I don't want to think about things too far in the future.

"Open the regular Fear Chest first."

[Treasure chest opened! Congratulations, host! You have obtained: Small Lucky Lantern *1, Basic Equipment Forging Tool *1!]

As usual, Xia Chi continued, without much surprise, "Activate the small lucky lantern."

[Mini Lucky Lantern is now available: 2 Assisted Training Devices!]

Ordinary.

It was just a small lucky lantern, and Xia Chi hadn't really expected much from it.

Xia Chi glanced at Victini, who was still playing a game of tag with Qi Shu, and decided to save this for it and the next Pokémon.

Whether it's trained or not, having it is better than not having it.

Then comes the highlight.

Xia Chi said with some anticipation, "Dear System Daddy, open the large Fear Treasure Chest."

【.】

[The treasure chest has been opened. Congratulations, host! You have obtained: Large Lucky Lantern *1, Elf Fragment (Tire Meow) *1!]

It really got upgraded!
Not only have the basic equipment forging tools been transformed into more useful spirit fragments, but the Lucky Lantern has also been upgraded!
Actually, what surprised Xia Chi even more than the changes in the lucky lanterns was the appearance of the [Elf Fragments].

This means that he will have a stable source of spirit fragments from now on.

Otherwise, it will only appear from Prism Orbs, which has a low probability and the output of Prism Orbs is also low.

Ignoring the fact that there was only one spirit fragment, Xia Chi continued to open lucky lanterns.

[The Giant Lucky Lantern is now open: 3 Magic Candies, 1 TM for Learning Movement, and 1 Map (Rainbow Meteor)!]

------

Xia Chi: "."

It's no wonder it's something you get from a Terror Chest that's worth a thousand or so.

Although there aren't many items in this lucky lantern, the quality is ridiculously high!

[Magic Candy] There's not much to say, it's a simple and straightforward +1 level, making it the most suitable for Ponpo, who has the highest level but is also the hardest to level up.

The map of the rainbow meteorite is a little confusing.

However, based on the experience of the previous [Dr. Orin's Research Notes], it should be a "clue" to the "Mega Mystery" of this battle round.

As for the [Move Learning Machine - Sketching]
What's there to say?

The most overpowered skill in the entire Pokémon Pokédex, bar none!

All by himself, the owner of this exclusive move, Tsutto, was transformed from a useless dog with a base stat total of only 250 to a god!
And its effect is extremely simple and straightforward!
Sketch: A general attribute-changing move that transforms the opponent's move into your own. Sketch disappears after being used once.

Just by listening to this unremarkable skill description, you can understand how overpowered it is.

Any Pokémon, any move!
This naturally includes the legendary Pokémon's signature moves—Cliff Sword, Root Pulse, Dark Hole, and Finishing Touch.
What? You can't encounter any legendary Pokémon?
It's alright!

Come on, let me teach you Ponpo's [Thorn Vine Stick] and Victini's [V-Flame] and [Flame Bullet]!
Oh, Victini's level isn't high enough to use [Fireball].
No problem, the Grass-type move Thorn Stick with 100 base damage, full accuracy, and easy to hit critical points, and the Fire-type move V-Blast with 180 base damage should be enough, right?

The latter, in particular, not only gained the most powerful skill in the entire Pokédex besides self-destruct moves, but also fixed the bug where Tirion couldn't use fire-type moves.

The only problem is that [Sketching] is a special move that disappears after being used only once.

Although the game has an unsolvable process of "sketching - recalling moves - sketching", it theoretically allows Smeargle to form all possible move combinations.

But in reality, there's no such thing as "remembering moves," which is a problem.
Actually, the [Sketching] move already has the incredible effect of allowing Tiree to illegally learn any move.

However, Xia Chi still felt some regret due to the gap between the game and reality.

Now that things have come to this, there's no other way but to use that method!

"Godfather! Is there any way to help Tire Cat repeat the sketching process?"

【.】

Xia Chi's shamelessness surprised even Tongzi Ge, who held it captive for several seconds.

It took a while before they gave a reply.

The giant lucky lantern contains the item "Move Memory Machine".

That's it!

Although I can't sketch endlessly right now, at least I have an idea.

Tongzi never makes empty promises; if it says something exists, it definitely does.

Moreover, items like [Lucky Lantern] are part of a "smart prize pool" created based on Xia Chi's needs.

If Tirion learns [Sketching], it will need the [Move Memory Machine] item.

Maybe it will be available at the next opening?
However, it seems that the Giant Lucky Lantern only explodes with Prism Orbs, so you have to complete the "Mega Mystery" battle turn first.

Anyway, we'll be able to get Victini's [V-Flame] for the cat in no time.

A few days ago I was wondering if Tire Cat was falling too far behind Fa Jie.

Looking at it this way, it seems that cats are also going further and further down the illegal path.
------

Consciousness was withdrawn from the system, and at this moment, Victini was already attached to the Qishu.

Of course, it wasn't actually caught. As long as Victini doesn't want to, the Tree of Life could probably chase it for a lifetime and never catch it.

But Victini only wanted to play a game of "hide-and-seek" for a while. Once she was having fun, she stopped hiding and rewarded Kiju with a kiss.

Seeing the strange tree smacking Victini's face, Xia Chi didn't know who to envy more.

Wait, no, theoretically I could be someone who doesn't envy anyone.
Putting aside her slightly wicked thoughts, Xia Chi said, "Alright, we should go back now. We haven't had dinner yet, we're starving."

The press conference started at 7 p.m., and it's already past 10 p.m.

Xia Chi can go hungry for a while without any problem, but the energy-consuming elves can't afford to go hungry.

Qi Shu asked in surprise, "Hey, didn't you eat before the press conference?"

Xia Chi shook her head, "There's rehearsal to do, when would I have time?"

Qi Shu's eyes lit up. "Let's take it to my house for a celebration dinner! To celebrate the great success of this press conference!"

Xia Chi hesitated for a moment: "It's already a bit late, I'm afraid the elves will be hungry."

Qi Shu patted his actually quite ample chest and said generously, "It's okay, let's go to my place and order takeout!"

No, what's the difference between that and eating out?
Seeing that Xia Chi still didn't nod, Qi Shu placed Victini against his chest and threatened, "Hmph, I suppose you don't want anything to happen to your Pokémon, do you?"

Xia Chi glanced at Victini, who was pressed against a patch of white, and wondered what could possibly happen to her, that she would suffocate?

However, since Qi Shu had extended such a warm invitation, Xia Chi had no choice but to give in: "Okay, okay, I'll eat at your place."

The Kiju family and the Breeze Dojo were not far apart, and the two arrived in less than ten minutes.

The elves of Xiachi are so familiar with this place that they treat it like their own home.

As soon as they entered the house, Xia Chi released them, and they immediately became friends with the strange tree spirits he hadn't seen for almost a month.

The core of "social interaction" is, of course, the newly evolved Misdreavus, especially Misdreavus and Stomach-eating Frog.

A few hours ago, when they heard that they were going to fight Xia Chi, they didn't think they would lose to this little sister at all.

And the result?
However, neither of them were the kind of elves who couldn't stand losing, and they soon forgot about it.

The elves were playing in the living room, and the takeout orders kept arriving. One advantage of ordering takeout at home over eating out is that it's more convenient and you can order from several different restaurants that you want to try.

Because there were many "elves" in the house, Xia Chi and Qi Shu didn't miss out on anything.

Arrange them one by one on the table, and add the hot pot that Qi Shu brought out on the spot, and you're all set!

"Hmm, I think we need to get a bigger table."

Qi Shu looked at the desktop, which was so crowded that there was no room to put anything else, and thought about how it was planned.

"Isn't the house a bit too small? How about we just move to a seaside villa?"

With Qi Shu's earning power, he could easily buy a villa in Niangguang City, where land is incredibly valuable.

Xia Chi picked up a piece of beef that had just been blanched in the spicy broth and put it into Ponpo's bowl, saying, "Isn't that unnecessary? I don't come here often, and it's too big for one person to live in comfortably."

Qi Shu glanced at Xia Chi without saying a word.

Xia Chi was a little confused, wondering how he had offended Qi Shu. He changed the subject, saying, "By the way, when did your family start having hot pot?"

Qi Shu wrinkled his nose and said, "I was thinking of trying some Donghuang cuisine. I made it a few times when Meng Yao came last time. Don't overthink it, it has nothing to do with you."

Xia Chi: "."

Is this a case of trying to hide something obvious?
In fact, he had already vaguely sensed that Qi Shu's feelings for him had changed.

Xia Chi is not a believer in the idea that "those who aspire to the pinnacle of Pokémon should not fall in love."

That's ridiculous! What does a trainer's strength have to do with whether they're in a relationship or not?
They're cultivating immortality here; to become an immortal, one must first sever all emotional ties.
It's not that I dislike strange trees.

She's pretty, has a great personality, really likes you, and can even play games with you.

I doubt any guy wouldn't want a girlfriend like that.

The reason why Xia Chi did not bring it up was quite simple.

He didn't want this to be one of the "three great illusions of life"—

"What? You don't actually think I like you, do you?"

He had a lot of experience with this kind of thing.

Xia Chi still remembers those words and the mocking look in the eyes of that so-called "goddess" from her high school days.

So he never took the initiative again after puberty.

Although he was reincarnated into the Pokémon world, Qishu's personality is completely different from that of the girl who was enthusiastic towards everyone.

But because of the psychological trauma from that incident, Xia Chi still became cowardly.

Actually, this is quite good.

"Beautiful, nice personality, I like you a lot, I'll play games with you."

Aren't these points still the same now?

On the contrary, if you expose it, then it will have nothing to do with you anymore.

So Pokémon is the best. As long as you are sincere, it will definitely like you!
Having Tirion, Winged Hair, Shakiras, Ponpo, Victini, and other Pokémon that will become its wings in the future is enough!

Xia Chi thought to himself.

------

The strange atmosphere didn't last until dinner, or rather, the end of the late-night snack.

The atmosphere between them returned to normal in no time.

"Oh right, it's past midnight!"

Suddenly remembering something, Qi Shu turned on his phone.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Xia Chi, who was clearing the table with the elves, asked curiously, "What's wrong with twelve o'clock?"

Qi Shu replied, "Of course, it's the start of the pre-sale for the Taijing Pearl!"

"what?"

Xia Chi was speechless: "Didn't Sister Ye Ci save you a copy? How about I give you two sets?"

Qi Shu said, "Of course there are. Every professional trainer in the league is eligible to buy the [Legendary Pack] at half price, such as gym leaders, rangers, and even police officers."

Wow, that's equivalent to over a million Alliance Coins in benefits!

Ye Ci is truly magnanimous; no wonder Brother Aoki keeps saying he's tired but he never quits.

With a leader who never makes empty promises but gives his subordinates real money, who wouldn't be loyal?

Xia Chi felt this way.

"Actually, the half-price discount is fine, it's not a big deal. The main thing is eligibility. I don't think the 100,000 [Legendary Gift Packs] you're distributing are enough to go around."

Qi Shu said, "The Padiya Alliance alone would account for half of it."

Xia Chi said helplessly, "There's nothing we can do. Initial production capacity is insufficient. We can't possibly collect pre-sale payments ten years from now, can we?"

Although the cost of the crystal beads is not high, the process of storing and replenishing the crystal energy is still quite complex.

Xia Chi estimates that he won't be able to deliver all 100,000 sets of the [Legendary Gift Pack] that were pre-sold, even by the end of the year.

"I'll talk to you later!"

Qi Shu stared intently at his phone and said, "Let me grab two power banks first!"

Xia Chi shrugged, taking the opportunity to tidy up the table with the elves.

Before they could even move, Qi Shu suddenly shouted, "Holy crap, how could netizens be so mean? They've already snatched it all?!"

Even the usually gentle and soft-spoken Kiju-sama was so angry that she swore, which shows how bad she was feeling.

"Huh, it's only been a few seconds?"

Xia Chi asked in surprise, "Didn't I remember that the Taijingzhu Charging Treasure also prepared 100,000 slots?"

It can provide ten charges, and this thing is even more expensive than the Crystal Bead itself, costing nearly 500,000 Alliance Coins.

Qi Shu gritted his teeth and said, "They must be using 3D dragons, Rotom or something to steal it, it's infuriating!"

Xia Chi could only comfort her, "It's okay, I'll get you two later."

He still has that level of authority.

Although cutting in line is shameful, taking two won't affect delivery.

Qi Shu was a little happier then, "Alright. Then I'll pay you double the price, so that Sister Ye Ci and those middlemen won't make a profit!"

Xia Chi was both amused and exasperated.

Thinking that Qishu wasn't short of money, he didn't refuse.

"Holy crap, they're all gone!"

Qi Shu looked up at Xia Chi and said in disbelief, "All the individual items and all the gift packs are sold out! Xia Chi, you're going to be rich!"

Oh, that’s right!

This is my company.

Xia Chi was slightly taken aback before belatedly remembering this matter.

However, he wasn't very excited, because he had expected all the crystal beads to be snapped up.

The only difference is whether it's fast or slow; the amount of money earned is the same.

It's roughly 1000000000. Anyway, you can only find so many zeros in Tianfu City.

Although the money isn't yet in hand, Xia Chi can now utter that famous line—

It's just a cold string of numbers in a bank card!

Sure enough, you only have the confidence to say such things if you've made money!

Regardless, this means that Xia Chi's foundation in this world is solid.

At least I won't have to worry about not being able to afford to raise elves anymore.

But this does not mean that Xia Chi has no goals to strive for in the future.

It's more accurate to say that this is just the beginning.

In the world of elves, the strong reign supreme!
Although it's a bit fantastical and juvenile, that's the essence of it.

Xia Chi's ultimate goal is to climb to the farthest reaches of the Pokémon Hall of Fame as a trainer, becoming the highest mountain and the longest river in the Pokémon Hall of Fame.

------

4 month 22 day.

After staying in Niangguang City for another day, Xia Chi finally embarked on his journey home.

They departed at the beginning of January and returned at the end of April.

It took more than a hundred days, but I gained a lot.

In terms of money, achieve financial freedom.

In terms of ability, he is completely different from when he left.

In terms of fame, he has also risen from a well-known anchor to the "Father of Taijinghua".

Of course, if you include other minor titles such as "father of the entire northern countryside" and "close friend of the Padiya League," the list goes on and on.

However, compared to these...

Most importantly, I gained two perfect partners.

On the first-class cabin of the plane that landed at Shanghai Hongqiao Airport, I held my sleeping baby in my arms and watched Bictini eating macarons by the window while admiring the blue sky and white clouds outside.

Xia Chi suddenly felt a pang of emotion.

How come after going on a long trip, I came back to be the same despised "mythical beast" man I used to be?

Sigh, I've ended up becoming the kind of person I hated most when I was young.
