My beast taming system has absolutely no problems!

If Xia Yu sees this, please be sure to sell the product to Hezhong.

This post was moved back to Pixiv in the early hours of the morning (Eastern Time).

By daybreak, those posts that had been seriously discussing whether or not to disable the Miaomiao Beast Taming technology items were gone.

At this moment, it has been mercilessly mocked like a sieve by this screenshot.

It's not really a reversal.

Because those who oppose Miaomiao Beast Taming Technology are only a minority.

However, their noise was particularly loud in the early morning hours, creating a highly controversial illusion.

But now, no matter how many online trolls those beast-taming companies hire, it's all in vain.

It's not that the people of the Eastern Alliance are blindly worshipping foreign things.

On the contrary, the world has not experienced that century-long period of decline and humiliation.

The Eastern Alliance has always been one of the most powerful alliances in the world.

The confidence of the Donghuang people does not need to be built upon the recognition of external alliances.

However, the relationship between Hezhong and Donghuang has always been delicate.

Referring to competitors is a rather euphemistic way of putting it.

The fact that the Unifying Heavenly King could publicly say "Please sell to us" in the field of Beast Taming items is itself an acknowledgment of the value of Miaomiao Beast Taming Technology.

The more the enemy opposes, the more it proves that I am right.

Around 7 a.m., the account that had fabricated the "official alliance document" was quietly deleted.

Several marketing accounts that were secretly boosting the popularity of banned topics also quietly set related posts to be visible only to themselves.

The next morning, the sunlight had already covered the entire lake surface.

Xia Yu's first feeling upon opening his eyes was, "Awesome!"

The mental massage from Madam Xueling was indeed very effective; the quality of his deep sleep last night was probably the best he had ever had since he transmigrated.

After brushing his teeth, Xia Yu was about to lift the Spirit Velvet Beast off the pillow and force it to power on.

My phone vibrated.

It was a message from Wang Linyan.

"Are you awake? Xiaoxi is back from the secret realm today. Come over for lunch."

Xia Yu raised an eyebrow.

Jiang Yuxi has returned from the secret realm?

He remembered that last week she set off for that secret realm called the Azure Tree Sea.

At that time, I also sold her the dustproof goggles.

Judging by the time, it should be about time for them to come back.

After thinking for a while, Xia Yu took a shower and changed his clothes.

Then he picked up the spirit beast that was still resting on the pillow and rubbed its head.

The little guy then groggily opened his eyes and let out a muffled "ooh".

After returning the Spirit Velvet Beast and Little Nebula to his Beast Taming Space, Xia Yu prepared to go out.

Although Grandpa Wang invited him to lunch, he couldn't possibly arrive right on time, could he?

Walking on the way to Wang Linyan's residence, Xia Yu habitually opened Pixiv and browsed the trending topics.

I want to see how the public opinion develops after the press conference.

The results immediately revealed several top-ranked topics, including "[Miaomiao Beast Taming Technology Items Banned]" and "[Union Heavenly King Praises 'Weakness Insurance'".

Xia Yu was initially startled.

They really thought the Eastern Beast Taming Association would do something so stupid.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that these were off-the-books tactics employed by those capitalists.

It's useless, just disgusting.

But what's with that Unova Heavenly King...?

The "big V water army" that Grandpa Wang found for me?

......

"No, I don't even have his contact information."

Upon meeting, Old Master Wang immediately denied Xia Yu's conjecture.

"Couldn't it be that someone genuinely sent it? Have some confidence in your props, kid."

Xia Yu shrugged. "I just didn't expect it to spread so quickly. The United Alliance already knows about it."

"It's the internet age, so it's normal."

Wang Linyan joked, "How come I feel like this old man is more trendy than you?"

Xia Yu twitched his lips and said helplessly, "Yes, yes, you're the youngest."

After the joke, Wang Linyan changed the subject and asked, "Speaking of which, have you considered developing overseas? Whether it's the United States, Europe, or even the Southeast Asian Alliance, the market potential is no less than that of Donghuang."

Xia Yu shook his head without hesitation, "I've considered it, but not now."

He pondered for a moment and said, "The company is just starting out. We haven't even built a complete team yet, and we haven't fully grasped the local market in Donghuang. Let's establish a firm foothold first."

Wang Linyan picked up his teacup but did not reply.

But his eyes were clearly full of approval.

"Okay, it's good that you have a plan, I won't say any more."

Jiang Yuxi finally appeared before lunch.

She looked like she had just woken up, so she must have returned to the Donglin Dojo very late last night after leaving the secret realm.

"Sister Jiang, you're back?"

Xia Yu took the initiative to greet him.

Jiang Yuxi nodded, her expression still aloof, but you could tell she was in a good mood.

"I'm sorry, I was supposed to be back for the press conference yesterday, but something happened in the secret realm and I was delayed for half a day."

Xia Yu said nonchalantly, "It's okay, it wasn't that important to begin with. Maybe we'll have one every quarter in the future."

Jiang Yuxi was slightly taken aback.

The implication of this statement is... that he hopes to be able to attend every future press conference and witness it together?

She nodded and said, "Yes, I'll be at all the press conferences from now on."

Xia Yu: "......"

Sis, what are you imagining now...?

Wang Linyan, who was standing to the side, coughed lightly and said, "You two chat, I'm going out for a walk to digest my food."

Xia Yu twitched the corner of his mouth.

You haven't even had lunch yet, what are you doing here to digest?

This master and apprentice pair are truly invincible.

Jiang Yuxi didn't seem to care about the somewhat awkward situation. She reached into her pocket and pulled out a stone.

This dark, grayish-green stone is unremarkable, with a rough surface covered in fine textures.

If Jiang Yuxi hadn't been holding it in her palm and solemnly handing it to Xia Yu, it would have been a different story.

He would probably treat it as just another ordinary stone that you could find anywhere in the secret realm.

"I found this in the secret realm."

Jiang Yuxi's voice was still the same light and gentle tone, but upon closer listening, one could sense a subtle hesitation.

It seems they are unsure whether the recipient will like the "gift".

"I don't know what it is, but it contains very strong wood-elemental energy fluctuations, and it doesn't match any known spiritual materials. I think... you might be able to use it."

Xia Yu took the stone.

The moment he touched it, he could feel an extremely faint yet incredibly pure energy pulse emanating from deep within the stone, penetrating its surface.

It was a low hum, like the heartbeat of the earth.

It was as if a forest that had been sleeping for ten thousand years was hidden inside this stone, within the small space of his palm.

Although he didn't know what it was, Xia Yu's intuition told him that it was something very powerful.

Just as she was about to feign a refusal, Jiang Yuxi said calmly, "I have no use for it, but it's different for you."

Xia Yu paused for a moment, then nodded and said earnestly, "Okay, then I'll accept your offer. Thank you, Sister Jiang."

Seeing his solemn expression, Jiang Yuxi slightly curved the corners of her mouth.

Xia Yu didn't notice this detail.

The instant he put the stone into his pocket, he also put it into his system inventory.

It can be considered an abstract version of an all-purpose material identification tool.

The system panel popped up, and Xia Yu's eyes swept over the test results, his pupils suddenly contracting.

【Emerald Slate (Fragment): A Grass-type primordial slate. When all fragments are collected, Arceus can change its type to Grass when wielded by it.】

Xia Yu: "!"

It was actually a fragment of a green stone slab!

As an item in the game, its function sounds quite ordinary, only increasing the damage of Grass-type moves of the held Pokémon by 20%.

However, in the mythological setting of the Pokémon world...
