Chapter 29: Newbies or Pros
[Players can spend points to expand and decorate their rooms. The Furniture Store is now open.]
The panel seemed to sense Chen Yue's confusion and proactively displayed the prompt.
The store panel followed suit.
[Regular Wooden Bed: 1 point]
[Pikachu-themed Bed: 5 points]
[Cute Eevee Blanket: 5 points]
...
[Room Expansion (up to 200 square meters): 100 points]
[Special Facility Pokemon Paradise: 500 points]
Chen Yue looked at these items and suddenly felt like he had crossed into a Chinese knock-off Pokemon mobile game...
He didn't decorate the room right away. Instead, he sat on the floor and began to examine Dragonite's Type.
Dragonite (Shiny)
Level: LV58
Gender: ♂
Type: Dragon, Flying
Ability: Multiscale
Inherited Moves: None
Known Moves: Wing Attack, Fire Punch, Thunder Punch, Twister, Thunder Wave, Hurricane, Agility, Dragon Dance, Dragon Rush, Outrage, Destruction Light, Flamethrower, Thunderbolt
No wonder Mimikyu was completely defenseless when it first met this Dragonite. Its Level is really high!
Chen Yue pushed Dragonite's panel aside and opened the backpack panel to check the rewards from the instance.
He still remembered the way Liu Hu had pulled a Poke Ball out of thin air on the day they entered the instance.
Now that the first instance was over, and the backpack feature was unlocked, he could also place Poke Balls inside and retrieve them anytime, anywhere.
So far, there were only four items in the backpack panel. They were a pair of candies, one large and one small, a Twisted Spoon, and a red heart.
Experience Candy (Small): Using it on a Pokemon will grant a small amount of Experience.
Experience Candy (Large): Using it on a Pokemon will grant a large amount of Experience.
Twisted Spoon: A magical item infused with Confusion. When carried, it increases the power of Psychic-type moves by 20%.
Mewtwo's Max Affection (Bound): A special item exclusively for player Chen Yue, usable throughout the entire instance.
No more detailed descriptions?
Chen Yue poked the plump red heart, but it remained quiet, without displaying any prompts.
At this moment, the New Player Guidance panel appeared.
[After a player leaves an instance, they will stay in the Infinite Space for seven days of rest, and when the time is up, they will be automatically transported to the next instance.]
[The Infinite Space has entertainment and commercial zones, and players are free to explore. Additionally, the exchange rate for Pokemon World tickets is 999,999 points, so players need to work hard to accumulate points!]
Chen Yue: ...
Damn, 999,999 points? Isn't that too exaggerated?
He only obtained 200 points with a double S rating. When will he ever accumulate 999,999 points...
Not to mention that everything here, from food and clothing to accommodation and transportation, seems to require points.
This setting is really playing with the players' mentality.
Chen Yue had no plans to rest at the moment. He followed the instructions and opened the map, where he unsurprisingly saw the words "Entertainment Zone" and "Commercial Zone."
In the Infinite Space, it was very convenient; players only needed to think, and they would be automatically transported to their destination.
The area was bustling with people.
Chen Yue stood on the street, looking at the rows of shops on both sides of the road.
Bars, restaurants, bathhouses.
Almost all the entertainment facilities that human society had could be found here.
The only difference was that the people on the streets were accompanied by various Pokemon partners.
Chen Yue entered a small restaurant and ordered a bowl of egg noodles.
The Boss Lady was a woman with wavy blond hair, and her partner was a Mr. Mime wearing an apron.
Chen Yue sat on the second floor by the window, looking down at the Pokemon on the street that he had not seen with his own eyes.
Soon, the Boss Lady personally brought a steaming bowl of egg noodles and placed it on the table. She didn't immediately leave but looked Chen Yue up and down before speaking, "Newcomer?"
"Why do you feel that way?" Chen Yue asked, looking up.
The Boss Lady smiled and said, "I've seen many people, and except for newcomers, no one would stick their head out of the window like you."
Chen Yue nodded and said, "Yes, I just left the beginner's instance."
The Boss Lady smiled again, gestured to the bowl of noodles on the table, and said, "Let me tell you, everything here requires points for consumption. For example, the bowl of noodles on your table costs one point, of course, you can also pay with items."
The price of a bowl of noodles was the same as that of an ordinary bed.
Chen Yue thought for a moment and asked, "Can I use the Experience Candies from the main quest?"
"Of course, five small Experience Candies for a bowl of noodles," the Boss Lady nodded.
That was acceptable. Since being stimulated by the 999,999 points, Chen Yue had become particularly sensitive to points.
He took out five Experience Candies from his backpack and placed them on the table.
The Boss Lady took a look and continued to promote, "What about your Pokemon? We also have Pokemon food here, and it's a great value! Only two Experience Candies for one serving!"
"Then, two servings!" Chen Yue took out two more Experience Candies and released Mimikyu and Dragonite.
The Boss Lady was slightly surprised by this scene, then gave Chen Yue a strange look and said with suspicion in her tone, "Are you really just a newcomer who just left the instance?"
Chen Yue pretended to be profound and smiled, "No, I'm actually a Dragon King, the kind who can casually produce a billion-dollar order."
The Boss Lady understood the joke and chuckled, "Bad boy, luckily Sister used to surf the internet a lot, otherwise, I really wouldn't understand your jokes."
She raised her sexy eyebrow and continued, "How about chatting after the meal?"
"No! I'm a serious person!" Chen Yue immediately declined with a firm tone.
The Boss Lady:...
Two black lines appeared on her forehead, and she slapped the table with her hand. Next to her, Mr. Mime, hearing the commotion, thought that his Trainer was about to start a fight again and quickly erected a Light Screen in front of Chen Yue.
"Ah Chun, no! Attacking a player will result in Punishment!" Mr. Mime spoke in a panicked childlike voice.
Chen Yue was puzzled and looked at Mr. Mime, asking, "It can speak the human language?"
The Boss Lady, known as Ah Chun, crossed her arms, hmphed, and explained, "Don't overthink it; it's not a real Pokemon. It's a Pokemon-shaped domestic robot that I exchanged for at the Infinite Shop."
Chen Yue's eyes lit up.
Ah Chun could tell what he was thinking from the look on his face and smiled slightly, "Men are indeed not good. Just a heads-up, a domestic robot costs 999 points!"
"Oh."
Chen Yue thought for a moment. It was just a matter of completing a few more instances. He could easily have his own Gardevoir robot by causing a bit more trouble in the upcoming instances.
"Pervert!" Ah Chun couldn't take it anymore. "There's reproductive isolation between you and Pokemon! You'll incur divine punishment if you mate with Pokemon!"
Chen Yue looked at her in disbelief, "What are you talking about? I just want to buy a Gardevoir to chat with me, not to mate with Pokemon."
Ah Chun:...
She felt that the guy in front of her had some abnormal thought processes.
