Digimon: I really didn't want to be the Digimon Emperor!

Author: Aruo K

Introduction:

Standing before you now is—the leader of the Qilin Group, the head of the Twelve Divine Generals, and the national leader of the Digital Fortune Group.

There was no calling, no sacred plan, no medals, no joint development, and no fusion or evolution...

As he stood atop the World Tree, recalling the moment when Snowballmon first hatched, he sighed deeply.

"You won't believe it, but my initial wish was simply to be an ordinary professional animal trainer."

"I just want to make some money, increase my wealth, and survive in the Dark Zone by spending money, leveling up, and protecting myself."

"I really didn't want to be the Digital Emperor!"

This book is also known as: *Digimon: Starting as a Trainer and Becoming a God* and *Since I Can't Be a Trainer, I Can Only Chop Down the World Tree*.

Chapter 1 Soul Transmigration System - That Makes Perfect Sense

Classroom of Senior Three (18) at Pengcheng No.1 Middle School.

"Cheng Yuan, classmate!"

A sharp shout, like a thunderclap, jolted Cheng Yuan awake from his sleep. He stood up reflexively, his desk sliding forward and slamming against the back of the chair of the girl in front of him.

"Ah!" the female student exclaimed.

Cheng Yuan looked around blankly and found himself sitting in the classroom of Class 18, Grade 12 at Pengcheng No.1 Middle School. The dazzling sunlight outside the window shone through the glass onto the desk, making his "Five-Year College Entrance Examination and Three-Year Mock Exam" test paper shine.

Upon seeing this, the classmates couldn't help but burst into laughter.

These stinky classmates, what are you laughing at? Can't you be a little more mature like me?

The next second, he met Teacher Liu's sharp gaze.

"Hello, Teacher Liu!" Cheng Yuan straightened his back reflexively.

“Okay—” Teacher Liu squinted his eyes.

"Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Liu!"

"For the people... huh?"

"Ahem, why are you sleeping during self-study?" Teacher Liu tapped the table with his fingers.

"As a player who plays Digimon games until late at night, it's perfectly reasonable to fall asleep during self-study class."

Cheng Yuan thought to himself, but ultimately didn't risk saying it aloud. His survival instincts made him quickly change his tune: "It's been too late for review, teacher."

Teacher Liu glared at him. "Come to the office with me!"

In the classroom office, Teacher Liu adjusted his glasses and said earnestly, "You're quick-witted and have a good foundation. If you focus on your studies, you'll definitely make progress..."

"The semester has just started, and we're about to be divided into classes. Do you really want to be put into the worst class for the lowest-achieving students?"

“Outstanding students are assigned to elite classes, and most of these elite class students will take the entrance exams for animal trainer schools and majors.”

Cheng Yuan was taken aback. Animal trainer? Is that a profession now? Is it a profession derived from veterinary medicine? Or is it a special program for advanced students?

Seeing that Cheng Yuan seemed to be listening attentively, he took out the wrong questions from yesterday's test and explained them to Cheng Yuan.

"This is a question from last year's exam, an essay question, but you answered it incorrectly!"

Teacher Liu continued, "What's the core principle behind the Digivice's ability to capture and release Digimon? Throwing the Digivice out? Do you think it's like Pokémon from next door?!"

"Your answer is incorrect. It should be that the data beam emitted by the Digivice scans the Digimon, converting its body into a data stream and storing it in the built-in digital space. The release and capture process needs to match the Digimon's energy frequency with the trainer's mental fluctuations."

Wait, what kind of amazing exam questions are these? A Digimon? A Digimon? Exam questions?

Suddenly, a flood of memories rushed in, and Cheng Yuan felt dizzy. He struggled to keep himself from collapsing, cold sweat beading on his forehead.

This is not the world he is familiar with—or rather, it is no longer the world he knew before he fell asleep.

More than 20 years ago, the “digital space” appeared out of nowhere around the world.

Scientists have discovered that these special regions are connected to a parallel world made of data—the Digital World, inhabited by a large number of Digimon with diverse forms and unimaginable abilities.

Initially, only a small number of Digimon entered the human world through spatial rifts. However, as time went on, parts of Cyberspace began to merge with reality. The simultaneous emergence of docile Digimon and dangerous wild species ultimately triggered a full-scale conflict between the two worlds.

After the war, the Digital World Administration, led by the United Nations, was established to coordinate relations between the two worlds.

In the same year, humans invented a device that could form a partnership agreement with Digimon—the Digivice—thus giving rise to the special group of "Digimon Tamers".

In order to better guide the power of trainers and Digimon, various countries have established trainer associations, and trainers have officially become a profession.

"So the tamer profession the teacher mentioned earlier is... Digimon Tamer?"

I played Digimon all night, and now the world looks like this?

In this world, even the education system has been completely transformed.

In elementary and junior high school, students mainly learn basic knowledge, while in high school they begin to formally learn about Digimon and related knowledge.

By the second semester of their senior year, students applying for the Beast Tamer major will need to sign up with their own Digimon. And in the college entrance exam, battles will become the most important subject for these students.

Only then did he notice that the framed photo on Ms. Liu's desk was a picture of her with a Diablos assistant. There were also several group photos of her with students on the wall, all featuring other Digimon.

Seeing that he looked unwell, the teacher asked, "Are you alright?"

"Are you really okay? Should we go to the school clinic? The school doctor's partner Digimon is a Ririumon nurse, she's very good at taking care of people."

Cheng Yuan: "Teacher, I'll be fine after I go back and wash my face."

He stumbled into the bathroom and splashed his face with cold water.

The boy in the mirror still has that familiar face: slightly messy hair, faint dark circles under his eyes from staying up late to study, and a faint scar above his left eyebrow from when he bumped his head on the corner of a table as a child.

I'm still the same Cheng Yuan... but the world has changed?

This is a world where Digimon truly exist.

In this world, Digimon have become deeply integrated into various industries. He opened several newly popped-up job advertisements on his phone and found that many high-paying positions required a Digimon trainer qualification:

[Fire Department Urgently Hiring: Trainer capable of controlling Water or Ice-type Champion-level Digimon, starting salary 6 NTD per month.]

[A mining company offers a high-salary position as a digital beast partner for underground exploration, with an annual salary of over one million plus bonuses.]

[International Express is recruiting: Trainers of flying-type Digimon. Pay is based on the number of orders; a monthly income of NT$15 is not a dream.]

The phone suddenly vibrated again; it was a message from her mother: "Xiaoyuan, don't forget to go to the digital center tomorrow to choose your partner. Your dad and I can't take time off work, but the money has already been transferred to your card."

At this moment, a mobile banking notification appeared: Balance: 100,000 yuan, with the note "Initial training fee".

"Ding! The Digimon Attribute Recharge System has been successfully activated!"

Just as the money was being deposited or transferred out, Cheng Yuan suddenly noticed something in his line of sight, which startled him.

These lines of text appeared in my field of vision:

Wealth value: 100000

Digimon: Not Bound

Forms: Dragon type 0, Angel type 0, Beast type 0... Fallen Angel type 0

Elemental: Fire 0, Water 0, Wind 0... Holy 0

The text was very simple and easy to understand. Cheng Yuan immediately thought of the system, specifically the system that binds Digimon.

A soul transmigrates into a system—that's a pretty reasonable combination, isn't it?

Cheng Yuan answered his own question: "Since the quantification of wealth value and Digimon attribute data has appeared, does that mean that wealth value and attribute value can be converted?"

What is the conversion rate?

Cheng Yuan couldn't wait to try binding a Digimon.

Chapter 2 Celestial Beast vs. Demon Beast?

Cheng Yuan returned to his seat absentmindedly, opened the drawer in his desk, and sure enough, there was a new book, "Digital Beast Breeding Guide" and "Basic Battle Theory".

There was also a sticky note on the desk: 98 days until the Beast Tamer College Entrance Examination.

"Cheng Yuan, this is the 74th time you've bumped into my chair this semester!" The girl in front of him turned around and pretended to be angry at Cheng Yuan.

This girl's name is Zhao Lu. She is a top student in the class and is definitely going to be in the honors class.

"ill……"

"what!"

"I'm sick! I'm having a fit!"

Zhao Lu whispered, "I think you're quite ill." Clearly, she didn't believe him.

Why am I not sick? I woke up and my worldview collapsed.

"Hmph..." She picked up her Digimon. "I went with my dad to sign up for a Digimon yesterday. Guess which Digimon I got?"

Zhao Lu's father, Zhao Zheng, is a second-level sheriff in Pengcheng. He has solved many cases of crimes involving Digimon and is a professional beast trainer.

According to Cheng Yuan's recollection, animal trainer levels are divided into "apprentice, ordinary, and professional," and Zhao Zheng is a professional-level animal trainer who can enjoy special national treatment.

Cheng Yuan's mind raced—what kind of Digimon would Zhao Lu choose? Her father was a sheriff, so she would most likely choose one of the standard Digimon provided by the law enforcement system…

"Electric Mouse Beast!"

"How did you know?" Zhao Lu asked, her beautiful eyes wide.

Electric Mousemon can evolve into Gearmon during its growth phase, and then it can be further trained to evolve into Guardianmon. This evolutionary path is very common in the security system.

He smiled and said, "Because the mature form of Electamon, Guardianmon, is your father's partner, right? I've heard you mention it before. Your essay, 'My Sheriff Father,' is still on the Wall of Honor. Hmm, Guardianmon is a very powerful and righteous partner. I guess you'll follow that path too."

The ultimate form of Guardianmon—Andromon—looks like a robot policeman and is more suitable for the security system, but it's unknown whether they have figured out the evolution conditions.

Electric Mousemon → Caprimon → Gearmon → Guardianmon → Andromon.

Zhao Lu gave a wry smile and said, "My dad does want me to apply for the police officer major, but I haven't decided yet..."

Cheng Yuan didn't say anything. After all, choosing a major is a major life decision for someone else, and it's better not to interfere.

Upon seeing Zhao Lu's Turbo Ride, Cheng Yuan also found the same device in his drawer, with a display screen and several buttons embedded in its silver-gray casing.

"This is the Digimon?" Cheng Yuan carefully took out the palm-sized device. When he pressed the power button, the screen lit up with blue light and displayed a line of text: [No Digimon signal detected].

By filling in the gaps in the original owner's memories, Cheng Yuan learned that although this world had formed a complete economic system for tamers, and students in key middle schools could receive national subsidies, such as the Tyrannosaurus Rex machine in his hand, which was subsidized by the government and worth more than 15 yuan, tamer students had to bear the costs of raising digital beasts and computing chips themselves.

The government and schools subsidize the basic Digimon machines, which can only meet the computing power needs of Digimon as they grow to adulthood. Replacing them with higher-performance computing chips can easily cost over 10 yen, and further upgrades are even more expensive, with no upper limit.

"No wonder it's a key high school... The government subsidy is 10 yuan per person!" Cheng Yuan muttered to himself.

With some time before school ended, Cheng Yuan reluctantly went to read "Five Years of College Entrance Examination, Three Years of Mock Exams." He learned that the Beast Tamer College Entrance Examination was divided into two parts: a written test and a battle test. The written test included humanities subjects such as Digital World Encyclopedia, Digital World Language, History, Geography, and Politics, as well as science subjects such as Mathematics, Biology, and Programming. In addition, there was a battle theory course separate from the humanities and science subjects.

Although I've watched and played a lot of Digimon anime and games, none of them have really gone this far in terms of deepening my understanding of the digital world by studying multiple disciplines. This shows how deeply the two worlds have merged.

After finally getting through the school day, Cheng Yuan slung his backpack over his shoulder and rushed to the digital center.

At 3:30 p.m., Cheng Yuan stood in front of the gate of the Pengcheng Qingtian District Digital Center.

The building, known as the "Digital Center," features a streamlined elliptical structure covered with a nano-coating that changes with light, refracting a dreamlike iridescence in the sunlight.

Through the translucent outer wall, you can see various holographic projections of Digimon floating inside, their agile figures attracting many passersby to stop and take pictures.

"This is Pengcheng's digital center..." Cheng Yuan murmured to himself, his heart beating faster.

Some families with mining assets have already purchased their desired Digimon through other channels. However, many ordinary people are choosing to breed specific types of Digimon at Digimon centers with government subsidies.

With government subsidies, the prices of these Digimon are more than half the market price.

His fingers unconsciously touched the Digivice in his pocket, his heart filled with both trepidation and excitement: "If it's really as I suspect, and the wealth system in my mind can recharge Digimon attributes, then the growth, evolution, and skill mastery of Digimon will give me a huge advantage in raising them, perhaps..."

The digital center is bustling with people; it serves as both a trading hub and a research base.
