Azure Star is also a Pokémon Master!

After running for an unknown amount of time, the miasma around them disappeared, and the masked man stopped in a cave.

"Phew! We should have escaped the Vaal Hazak's territory by now." The masked man said, opening his gas mask to reveal a dark, weathered middle-aged woman's face.

Su Yi thought to himself: As expected of Master Yuanye.

The elderly woman in front of you, whom the protagonist's receptionist calls "Auntie" in the game, is a veteran of the first New World Survey Team. Like almost all NPCs, she doesn't have an official name in the game, but is instead referred to as the Wilderness Master.

In the game, she is full of desire to explore everything unknown in the new continent and guides the development of the plot on many occasions.

Furthermore, she was the first person to conduct a long-term investigation of the Valley of Miasma, and later, she was the one who discovered and reported the approximate location of the Vaal Hazak's lair.

"Which wave of hunters are you from? Why did you come to the Rotten Vale and explore it alone? And what about those monsters?" Master Haruno was filled with questions.

Su Yi scratched his head, organized his thoughts, and said, "I'm not a hunter from Starry Sky Stronghold; you can think of me as an adventurer from another continent."

"Another continent?! You're from the Old Continent!?" Master Yuanye exclaimed in surprise.

This place is quite a distance from the Old World. Apart from the survey team, why would anyone specifically come to such an undeveloped area?

"That's not the case. In short, I'm an adventurer from a world outside the old and new continents. About a month ago, I arrived in the new continent and have been exploring and adventuring with my companions." Su Yi was telling the truth.

"So, according to you, you're not from the Old or New World, but an adventurer who came here from another continent completely unknown to us?" Master Yuanye said in astonishment.

This not only means another unknown continent, but also another civilization, which is far more significant than simply discovering a new continent.

As an explorer, the more she learns, the more she realizes how little she actually knows. Therefore, she believes that there are still many unknown continents in the world that have not yet been discovered.

Furthermore, it is possible that some unknown civilizations still exist on the continents that have been discovered.

Therefore, she would believe in the possibility of the other continent (world) that Su Yi mentioned, but she still had many doubts about the truth.

Chapter 79 Master Yuanye: I've never seen anything like this before... (3100 words)

"I'll believe what you've said for now. But could you tell me what technique you used to trap the monster inside the ball?" Master Yuanye asked, his curiosity tinged with caution.

Because that thing was simply too shocking and unconventional.

This clueless hunter can not only become a companion to monsters, but also collect them and carry them with him, and even use them to completely trap an ancient dragon.

Although it only lasts for a little over a second, its tactical significance is great.

This is equivalent to having a precious breathing space in a perilous battle with an ancient dragon, and it is exceptionally easy to use.

Returning to the point, taming monsters and becoming their partners is also an amazing skill.

Currently, humans can only tame the more docile herbivorous dragons and turn them into pack animals.

"I obtained this thing (the cheat code) by chance, and I only know its function, not its principle (to be honest)."

As Su Yi spoke, he released Dewgrass, Odogaron, Great Jagras, and Dizzy Bird.

"Su Yi, are you alright, meow!" Lu Cao said happily as soon as she came out.

"Aww?" Upon seeing the strangers, the accompanying beasts became wary.

"Relax, everyone. This person is not a bad person. On the contrary, he is my savior."

After Su Yi finished speaking, he took out several Dispelling Fruits and fed them to the animals to dispel the miasma's corrosive effects. He also fed them some recovery medicine to restore their strength.

"Incredible! Odogaron, Great Jagras, Dazzling Bird, and... Palico?"

Master Yuanye stared in disbelief as monsters appeared out of thin air, then, upon hearing the adventurer's words, quickly quieted down, just like a docile herbivorous dragon.

She then discovered that there was a cat among them.

"Meow! Hello, Master Haruno! I am a descendant of the Felyne who accompanied the Third Fleet on the ship, and my name is Luca!" Luca, who had regained some of her energy, waved her paws happily.

"Huh? Aibo, do you know her?" Su Yi asked in surprise, also learning about Lu Cao's background for the first time.

Luca nodded and said, "Everyone in our base knows the members of the First Generation, meow."

Su Yi thought about it and then understood.

Because there are very few of the main members left from the first generation.

The Grand Commander, Commander-in-Chief, Sword Master, Wilderness Master, Dragonman Hunter, Head Chef, and Technical Class Leader are few in number, and all of them are very important figures. As long as you stay at the base, you will naturally become very familiar with them.

Master Yuanye looked at Lucao's body, which was dressed in the standard leather suit of a Starry Sky Outpost Palico. After confirming that it seemed to be a Palico from Starry Sky Outpost, he said in surprise, "You've kidnapped one of our Outpost's Palicoes?"

"Hahaha! Rather than saying I kidnapped him, it's more accurate to say that Lu Cao saved me, and then we made a pact to explore the New World together, to see all the scenery and taste all the delicious food."

Su Yi smiled and picked up the cat, then gratefully and happily rubbed Lu Cao's fluffy head, while secretly sighing: This time, I was saved by the cat again.

Recalling the suffocating and powerless feeling when facing the Vaal Hazak, and Dewgrass's fearless Palico attack, Su Yi felt for the first time, "I need more power!"

Although I spent a lot of time and energy exploring the new continent over the past month, and with the nourishment of cat food every now and then (even hunters don't necessarily eat cat food this frequently), my originally mediocre physical condition has been greatly improved.

However, his practical experience and combat skills were no different from those of a novice. It was only because he had to jump around frequently that he became somewhat proficient with the projectile.

When fighting monsters, especially in chaotic battles or battles against Elder Dragons, the unpredictable situation on the field may force him to confront these monsters directly.

Without a certain level of self-protection ability, one day you will end up killing yourself and your partners.

"Meow!"

As Su Yi pondered his current problems, Lu Cao responded to his stroking, hugging him and meowing happily.

"You two have such a good relationship." Master Yuanye smiled upon seeing this, then changed the subject, saying, "Could you show me those tools used to contain the monsters?"

Su Yi generously handed over a capture ball, saying, "Normally, these items called capture balls are capsule-shaped. You need to press this button to enlarge them in order to activate their function."

Actually, the appearance and operation of the Catch Ball and the Poké Ball are the same. The only difference is that only the Catch Ball can both catch monsters and capture Pokémon.

Master Haruno took the empty capture ball, opened it, and found that there were no complicated mechanisms or mysterious lights inside, only a few simple and clear structures.

You can't tell anything from that.

"Are there still many of these?" Master Yuanye asked.

Su Yi casually pulled out a few and said, "These things are extremely precious."

Indeed, at present, the only way to obtain it is by investigating monsters, triggering an investigation quest, and completing the quest.

Previously, in order to trap the Vaal Hazak as much as possible, he used the best high-rank capture ball available, which made Su Yi feel quite distressed.

The number of balls captured so far is neither too many nor too few.

However, Su Yi did not show that he could continue to capture balls, but instead gave others the feeling that each one he used was one less.

After all, showing these things too much will lead to wild speculation from others.

"Is that so? Could it be a relic from an ancient civilization?" Master Yuanye wondered.

Knowing some ancient secrets, she had heard that ancient technology seemed to be very advanced, even able to influence monsters and even ancient dragons in certain ways.

If what Su Yi said is true, then based on her existing knowledge, this is the only guess she can come to.

"I just heard from Palico that your name is Su Yi, right? You've really obtained an incredible treasure." Master Haruno exclaimed, returning the Capture Ball to Su Yi.

"These companions are also my treasures." Su Yi smiled and touched the Dew Grass, the Odogaron, the Great Jaw Dragon, and the Dizzy, and they responded one by one.

Seeing these monsters, originally full of ferocity and wildness, actually reveal rationality and emotion in their interactions with Su Yi.

Even recalling the past, they actually faced the ancient dragon resolutely for Su Yi's sake, and even launched an attack.

Master Yuanye exclaimed in utter shock, "It's truly incredible that monsters and humans can live in harmony, trust each other, and fight side by side!"

Su Yi smiled and said, "Before this, I also found it incredible."

"So, you came to the New World, just like the adventurer you call yourself, to embark on adventures?" Master Yuanye asked curiously.

Su Yi grinned and said, "Exploration, adventure, discovery—what other reason do we need?"

Master Yuanye was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter and said, "You're a really interesting person."

Master Haruno couldn't help but think of himself, as well as the scholars and eccentrics of the third generation.

Upon arriving in the New World, he disregarded the mission of the research team and explored the Grand Canyon alone, becoming completely captivated by the place and lingering there.

The scholars of the third mission regarded the fascinating ecology of the Coral Plateau as a treasure. Even though they were trapped there for twenty years, they were happy to study it.

Like Su Yi, aren't she and the scholars also willful but free in exploring what they like without looking for too many reasons?

"I'm starting to believe you're an adventurer, but... what's with your hunter gear? And those scout bugs and projectiles, those are unique to Star Base, aren't they?"

Master Yuanye examined Su Yi closely with interest, but discovered something fishy.

This was given to you by the system, so don't meddle in other people's business!

Su Yi could only laugh it off and say, "I found this in an abandoned camp when I first came to the Ancient Tree Forest. I didn't expect it to be so useful."

"You found it? I see. No wonder you don't seem like a hunter." Master Yuanye nodded.

Su Yi: That hurts, Auntie.

"So what are your plans next?" Master Yuanye asked, dusting himself off as he stood up.

Originally, I just wanted to collect the remains of the Serpent King Dragon and leave, but I happened to run into the reclusive Vaal Hazak wandering around and almost got into a deadly situation. Then I met the members of the research team for the first time.

This was quite a rollercoaster ride.

"Auntie, could you help me get a referral to the base? I have a favor to ask," Su Yi said carefully.

"Introduce me to the base? Why didn't you contact the base before?" Master Yuanye asked curiously.

Su Yi said, "Because I don't know how the people there will view me, so..."

Master Yuanye noticed Su Yi's concerns, so he patted him on the shoulder and said easily, "Relax, the Commander-in-Chief is a very open-minded person, and our purpose in coming here is to explore and develop, not to designate it as territory and prohibit outsiders from coming."

"Instead, given your ability to tame monsters, if we didn't have a conflict, perhaps we could cooperate."

"That would be for the best," Su Yi said.

After all, Luca is originally a Palico of the Research Team. If he and the Research Team are at odds, then Luca will be in a difficult position.

“Then let’s go up to the Coral Highlands now. I’ll say hello to the Third Fleet first, and then return to Star Base. What do you think?” Master Haruno suggested.

“Since you trust me so much, Auntie, if they welcome me there, then of course I have no problem.” Su Yi nodded.

The fact that Master Yuanye was willing to take him to the base already showed that he trusted him.

Su Yi had no intention of starting a conflict; he believed that establishing a cooperative relationship would be more beneficial than harmful.

"Then let's start going up," Master Yuanye said, stretching his body.
