Chapter 3

[Chime! A new day has begun, and the items in the shop have been refreshed.]

With this notification, the interface of the virtual window automatically switched to the shop, and a beam of light shot into Yeziyun's mind. The information contained in the light was minimal, mainly detailing the specific operation methods and introductions of the shop.

According to the introduction, the system shop refreshes its items at midnight every day, with 9 recommended items each time. The recommended items are sold at a 50% discount of their normal price. The sources of the items include system production and items sold to the system by other participants, so the prices of each item fluctuate. The price of the same item can vary from day to day, but the differences are not significant. Therefore, buying during the discount period is the most cost-effective way.

The currency used in the shop is achievement points, which are obtained when completing achievements. The most common way to earn achievement points is by completing achievements, followed by completing random tasks and selling items to the system shop. However, the triggering of tasks is random, and it is difficult to trigger them before the main storyline begins. This random task was just an additional task provided by the system to add an option tab, similar to a beginner's guide. The system shop does not purchase everything; it only buys materials with energy. These materials are partly used by the system to create items, and the rest are sold directly as materials. For the fairness of the competition, only materials provided by participants who voluntarily withdraw are sold as materials, as only those who remain in a world can continuously provide its specialties. Since materials with energy are generally high-quality, relying on selling materials to start a business is not practical; it's better to keep them for personal use.

Moreover, the shop blocks most item circulation between similar worlds. For example, spirit stones from a fantasy world will not appear in the shop of a participant in the same fantasy world, as these items are not considered specialties in that world and are not listed for sale. Therefore, Yeziyun cannot buy common items like Poké Balls in the shop, but there is a good item in the recommended section.

【Polarized Lens (Improved)】

Introduction: A polarized lens made of high-tech molecular materials, which protects you from the glare on the water's surface while fishing. It also has a data detection function. By inputting detailed data, it will automatically compare the data when you successfully catch a creature, providing specific information and evaluations.

PS: Only available for 24 hours after the first shop opening. Essential for beginners. The frame color is customizable, and the lens color can be adjusted at any time. Buy now for just 99 achievement points, and it comes with free shipping!

Although the PS seems unreliable, this lens is indeed a good item! By inputting all the data, this lens can function as a comprehensive guide!

Determined, Yeziyun was about to buy this lifetime-useful lens when he suddenly noticed the number representing his current achievement points...

20!

Such a shocking number was truly heart-wrenching!

The item was good, but he had no money! The item was there, and 99 achievement points were not a small amount, but they were not excessive. At the beginning, perhaps just a few fishing sessions could earn a few achievements. However, Yeziyun's current situation was tragic; he hadn't even left the small black room, let alone gone fishing!

"Ah~~~!!! What should I do! Achievement points... achievement points!! A... huh? Achievement points?!"

In a fit of frustration, Yeziyun seemed to remember something and immediately scrolled the virtual window to the information record. A message about receiving an achievement point voucher was prominently displayed!

"Hehehe... hahaha! Truly, there is a use for everything, and even when the road seems blocked, there is always a way out! I have money again!"

Opening the storage space provided by the system, he saw a gray check-like slip occupying the first slot in the previously empty space. With a thought, the slip appeared before him, and Yeziyun, without hesitation, poked it with his finger.

[Chime! You have used an achievement point voucher. Congratulations, you have received 100 achievement points.]

Accompanied by the sound of light and gold coins colliding, a system notification followed. Yeziyun immediately switched the virtual interface to the shop and saw that the number in the currency section had changed from 20 to 120.

120 achievement points were not many, but they were enough to buy the polarized lens. Looking at the description, this item was clearly essential for beginners, prominently displayed as a limited-time offer at the top of the recommendations, priced at 99 achievement points. The beginner's package only provided 100 achievement points, clearly intended for the host to buy this lens.

Setting the frame color to rust blue, Yeziyun clicked to purchase. The payment and delivery were instantaneous, faster than FedEx! It even came with a lens cloth...

Satisfied with the lens in his hand, Yeziyun reviewed the detailed information, as he didn't know where to input the data.

【Polarized Lens (Improved)】

Introduction: A polarized lens made of high-tech molecular materials, which protects you from the glare on the water's surface while fishing. It also has a data detection function. By inputting detailed data, it will automatically compare the data when you successfully catch a creature, providing specific information and evaluations.

PS: Data is retrieved based on user-specified search titles, and the system will automatically load the data. Additionally, the strength of this lens is a million times that of titanium alloy dog eyes, so your mom no longer has to worry about dog eyes shattering everywhere!

"Is this thing just an additional feature of the system?! And it still costs money?! I'll just laugh at you!"

In his anger, Yeziyun muttered and silently raised his middle finger.

Despite his anger, he still needed to use the item. Using his mind, he input "Pokémon Complete Pokédex" and, after a quarter of a second, received a notification that the data had been loaded. He also received a prompt asking if he wanted to disable automatic updates. Yeziyun clicked "No" because, before his穿越 (穿越 means "穿越" in this context, which is a term used in Chinese web novels to describe a person being transported to another world), the data for the sixth generation of Pokémon was not complete. This feature could not be disabled, as the seventh generation might be released before he completed his mission. Therefore, it was best to keep this feature active.

Wearing the lens, he focused his gaze on the Wobbuffet floating around the room.

The moment he focused, a large, bright gold SS rune appeared in his field of vision, positioned above the Wobbuffet's head, moving with it.

[Chime! Focus time exceeded 3 seconds. Target species: Wobbuffet, male, currently in the juvenile stage, level LV.5, quality SS. Detailed information is available for the host to review.]

After a moment, a large amount of information appeared in Yeziyun's mind. After reviewing the information, Yeziyun had a general understanding of the situation.

In the reference data, all values were averages, representing the most common individuals in nature. Based on factors such as age, there was a positive or negative deviation from these averages. Individuals below the average were rated lower, while those with more values above the average were rated higher.

Quality was divided into seven ranks: D, C, B, A, S, S+, and SS. D-rated individuals were generally old, weak, sick, or underdeveloped. Ordinary individuals were usually rated between C and B, and A-rated individuals were considered very excellent. SS-rated individuals were a special case, equivalent to having perfect individual values. This situation was almost non-existent in the wild, and even in top breeding families with centuries of experience, such individuals were rare, appearing perhaps once in a century.

However, thinking that this Wobbuffet was a system-produced individual, Yeziyun felt relieved. After his relief, a smile appeared on his lips. Because of a certain skill of the Wobbuffet, Yeziyun's escape from the secret room became possible, and it might even be quite simple.

Currently, the Wobbuffet had four skills: Bubble, Water Sport, Absorb, and Melt. The success of Yeziyun's escape plan depended entirely on the "Melt" skill.

As mentioned earlier, the room had ventilation windows and a drainage system. For a Pokémon that could melt, these provided enough space to escape.

Thus, Yeziyun spent a little time explaining this very simple, seemingly impossible escape plan to his Wobbuffet.

"Hmm! The biggest flaw in this room isn't the windows or the drainage system, but the fact that it's Japanese-style! Wobbuffet, Melt!"

After melting, the Pokémon, due to gravity, could not climb the ventilation windows. The drainage system, Yeziyun speculated, was either made of special materials or had an alarm system. However, in a Japanese-style room with tatami mats, there were natural gaps between the mats. Yeziyun chose a corner farthest from the door and gave the order.

The Wobbuffet, like water without a container, turned into a puddle on the tatami mat and seeped through the gaps. After a few seconds, a faint, continuous sound came from the wall, and Yeziyun saw small cracks appear, gradually expanding into a hole large enough for a child to pass through.

"Damn! Finally out."

Five minutes later, with a light exclamation, Yeziyun regained his freedom! Due to the mission objective, he disguised himself before leaving, ensuring that no one would notice he was gone without entering the room.

As for the escape method? Don't worry about the escape ability of a spatial-type user. Even if Yeziyun didn't want to expose himself, he could explore the entire ancestral home of the Guardian Clan without being detected.

Yeziyun did just that. Hiding in a temporarily created space, he explored the entire ancestral home. He wasn't there to steal anything, as any energy fluctuation in the heavily guarded storage areas would trigger an attack.

In a room at the center of the estate, Yeziyun saw his "eloping" companion, Komatsu. The boy was sleeping soundly, but his eyes were swollen, clearly from crying.

Secretly opening a space, Yeziyun slipped a pre-prepared farewell recording into Komatsu's backpack. Thanks to the spatial compression technology in this world, he managed to do this without being detected. This was the center of the estate, inhabited by the direct descendants of the Guardian Clan, with even stricter security than the family's storage areas.

Just opening a space between two non-adjacent areas required significant mental energy. Therefore, Yeziyun didn't waste any time and, after leaving the estate by over a hundred meters, instantly teleported outside Vermilion City. If his body were older and his energy flow faster, he might have gone even further.
