Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

So how did he manage to stay so focused on reading, only managing to cover a few pages after several days?

Lin Xuan thought about it for a moment, and then felt that this might be what is called the spirit of craftsmanship, striving for perfection in one thing... But isn't this a bit too much? After all, just rubbing the cheek doesn't seem to be enough.

Oh, and that electric impact attack was indeed very clever, but the attack methods were still too monotonous.

Seeing Xiaodian working so hard, Lin Xuan suddenly remembered something and brought out the power detection device from the corner, which he had thought was broken. Now he realized it was probably still working.

Lin Xuan dragged and pulled Xiao Dian over again.

"Dandan?"￣へ￣

What's wrong? Can't you see I'm studying?

"Let's test it again and see if there's any improvement."

Lin Xuan connected the device to Xiaodian and then started it directly.

"Let's rub it on our cheeks first," Lin Xuan said after thinking for a while.

If he remembers correctly, during the last test, the value of Xiaodian rubbing her cheek had already reached 30, far exceeding the normal level.

Moreover, that was before Xiao Dian had even read the manual. Now, there should be even more to it, it's just a matter of how much. But Lin Xuan is still very curious about just how far Xiao Dian can go.

"Dan~"

Okay then~

Xiao Dian didn't refuse, mainly because he also wanted to know how much progress he had made in the past few days of training.

After Xiaodian started to exert force, the machine's value began to rise continuously. Under Lin Xuan's watchful eye, it quickly surpassed the previous value of 30 and finally stabilized at 50.

That many more?

Even if Lin Xuan had anticipated Xiao Dian's progress, she still didn't expect the magnitude of the improvement to be so large; it was simply outrageous!

"Dandan?"

【How about it? 】

After the test, Xiao Dian quickly came over, and after seeing the number 50, she put her hands on her hips and showed a rather satisfied smile.

Many trainers' Electric-type Pokémon, even when using Thunderbolt, only generate about this much energy in the end.

In other words, if you get grazed by a small dot, it's equivalent to a 100,000-volt shot, and most importantly, it also has a paralyzing effect.

Once a sprite is paralyzed, its movements will be restricted, allowing the little one to continue sticking to and rubbing against the opponent.

Just like the match against Little Horse at noon today, it seemed like a small scratch that was gone in an instant, but in reality... it took several scratches!

Lin Xuan then tested the 100,000 Volt skill, and while he had improved, it wasn't as powerful as rubbing his cheek.

From this, Lin Xuan concluded that Xiao Dian's recent progress had mainly focused on the skill of rubbing cheeks; while her overall charm had improved, it wasn't as terrifying as she had imagined...

Well, it's not exactly terrifying, but it is a bit terrifying. After all, it's only been a few days since the last measurement, and this rate of progress is enough to make most Pokémon blush with shame.

"Are you still going to participate in the competition in the next few days?"

Lin Xuan asked Xiao Dian.

"Dandan!"

Of course! (●ˇ?ˇ●)

After all, the champion gets a prize!

Then, after thinking for a moment, he continued to say to Lin Xuan:

"Dandan?"

[Can the rewards stack if I keep winning?]

Lin Xuan...

"Row!"

Seeing Xiao Dian's high spirits, Lin Xuan didn't want to dampen his enthusiasm, so she could only grit her teeth and agree in the end.

However, Lin Xuan hadn't thought much about winning the championship. After all, the students in the Battle Department were no pushovers. Most of them had decided on this path before even applying for their majors, and they had caught their Pokémon right after the college entrance exams.

After so much training, Lin Xuan didn't think he could have any chance relying solely on his family's three tricks.

Chapter 23 Great Cleverness

"However, if you want to continue winning in future battles, it would be best to train other skills."

Lin Xuan made this suggestion.

"Dandan?"

For example?

Xiao Dian pulled out a small notebook and a pen from somewhere, looking at Lin Xuan with a serious expression, as if she wanted to write down everything he was about to say.

Although Lin Xuan had no intention of helping Xiao Dian with training, after all, his experience in this area was practically zero. The book that Dr. Sun Siming gave him, although Xiao Dian read slowly, was already countless times better than his own.

After all, any positive number divided by zero is infinity.

Just as parents encourage their children to cultivate more hobbies, Lin Xuan doesn't mind spending a little time letting Xiao Dian have fun in the upcoming competitions.

"For example, skills like 100,000 volts or acrobatics are worth practicing a little, otherwise it's a waste to just rub your cheeks."

"Dandan!"

【Uh-huh! 】

The little guy was writing furiously with the pen in his hand. Lin Xuan leaned over to take a look, but after looking for a long time, he still couldn't understand what he was writing. He could only feel an abstract style coming towards him.

I could barely recognize a few of the simpler characters.

After taking a look and not understanding anything, Lin Xuan gave up and continued.

"And isn't your characteristic an electric engine? Although perhaps you could try to utilize it yourself, for example, to recharge yourself or something."

The small dot's ability isn't Static, but rather its hidden ability, Electric Engine. However, to be honest, both of these abilities are the kind that are neither particularly useful nor worth discarding. In Lin Xuan's opinion, they are even inferior to Pikachu's family's Lightning Rod ability.

After all, an electric motor has to crash into something to start, while a lightning rod simply attracts it – that's a big difference.

However, it's not entirely unusable. After all, the electric flying squirrel's electric and flight attributes don't make it resistant to electricity. Having an electric engine provides a decent immunity effect anyway.

It's better than some unknown Grass/Dragon type with four times the Electric resistance, but forcibly fitted with a lightning rod.

As for the self-recharge technique that Lin Xuan mentioned earlier, he had seen it somewhere before, but he had forgotten the specifics. The only drawback was that it was quite difficult.

Lin Xuan mentioned it to Xiao Dian casually, without intending to actually have him practice it. After all, it wouldn't work to think about running before you've even learned to walk.

"There's another important skill, Energy Ball. It should be written in that book; go check it out yourself~"

Lin Xuan casually waved his hand to send Xiao Dian away, but what he said earlier wasn't just a casual remark; the Energy Ball skill is very important for the Electric Flying Squirrel.

After all, electric-type attacks are generally quite effective, the only problem being that ground-types are immune to them, while energy balls are specifically designed to counter ground-types.

If it's a ground/rock type, even better; just fire an energy ball at it and you'll be thrilled.

"Dandan~"

Xiao Dian wrote down every word Lin Xuan said, and Lin Xuan ran back to her room to do her own thing.

But just as he stepped into the room, he suddenly poked his head out again.

"There's one more thing... Don't practice your skills at home, I don't want to move yet."

After saying that, he pointed to the instrument that had just been moved out.

"If you really want to use electricity, then use that thing. Don't blow up the house again."

"dawn!"

Yes, sir!

Xiao Dian stood up and saluted Lin Xuan, indicating that he would definitely not make a mistake.

"Mmmmm~"

Although she didn't know if Xiaodian's answer was reliable, Lin Xuan still returned to her room.

Today is Monday and the qualifiers have just ended, with the subsequent matches not yet starting. Lin Xuan took a break tonight and didn't go live. She changed the title of her live stream to "[The streamer's magic period has arrived, taking a day off]" and then left.

What on earth is the Magic Period?

Don't ask, the answer is it won't pass censorship.

[Could you at least put some thought into your excuse?]

[So boys have these moments too? (Doubtful)]

[Shocked! Is the person upstairs a female fan?]

Lin Xuan was also surprised that a bunch of people were chatting in the live chat even before he started broadcasting. He had underestimated how bored some people could be.

However, the live chat wasn't the most heated discussion; the fans in the group chat also started tagging themselves like crazy.

[@MiniqiuIsNotMiniQ: Could the streamer please explain what "magic period" is?]

Lin Xuan calmly started typing on her phone.

I skipped today.
