Chapter 77: Magikarp’s Epic Power-up
Because everyone was under the impression that it was ‘Li Wei treating us to a meal’, not a single Pokémon came to help with today’s dinner.
Including his dear Riolu and Eevee.
Riolu had completely gone crazy, not even sleeping with him at night anymore, and had clearly become a fanboy of Gallade.
However, as his fanboy behavior became increasingly intense, his own strength also improved tremendously.
He became even more like a Fighting-type Pokémon, and his use of embedded ground attacks became increasingly proficient.
Watching the video taken by Mime Jr. who went to watch, Li Wei felt sorry for the Pokémon nurtured in those gyms.
Magikarp also became increasingly brutal.
No one knew what mush got into his brain, or which big shot at home had a muscle twitch in their brain, but they actually taught Magikarp Double Kick and Double Slap.
Now Magikarp could be said to have received an epic-level buff.
First Splash jumps up, then using the technique of Double Kick, it turns the waist-twisting leg-flinging motion during attack into ‘waist-twisting tail-flinging’, borrowing this continuous force to swing the tail back and forth left and right, using Double Slap against the attack target.
The first time Li Wei saw this video, he was completely dumbfounded, and the little Machop that was sparring with Magikarp was also dumbfounded.
Not just beaten dumb by Magikarp, but mainly scared dumb.
Is this the true ‘Chikara’ of the weakest Pokémon?
A bit scary.
Eevee was still upstairs researching how to design clothes, switching to the form of Sun Eevee and using psychic power ‘Quantum Reading’ on the data while using her tail to hold a pen to record scattered ideas and inspirations.
Mime Jr. was on the sofa eating small pastries and tea with Delibird while watching variety shows on TV and enjoying life, with no intention of coming to help.
Finally, Dragonair, who was lounging nearby enjoying dragon life, saw that Li Wei was working too hard, so it silently slithered over and poked him with its tail, indicating ‘Can I help you with something?’
The gesture was very touching to Li Wei, but reality forced him to just wave his hand, telling Dragonair to go back to lounging.
The reason was nothing else— this Dragonair had no hands.
Mixing the meat and sauce thoroughly requires kneading it evenly— could this Dragonair do that?
Stir it around with the tail?
The step of coating the meat with flour— could a single tail do that?
Even sifting the flour would be a complicated problem, right?
As for more, putting it in the oven, into the refrigerator, onto the grill, and so on— rather than watching Dragonair look at him with teary eyes reproachfully saying ‘I’m so useless~’, it was better for him to work hard and finish these things himself.
Time quickly reached 7 p.m.
When Eevee happily came down with her design draft in her mouth, Li Wei had also set the dining table and brought today’s dinner to the table.
If there are too many types of meat dishes, it’s easy to feel greasy due to heavy oil and salt; the best way is still to make some simple variations and then have a roasted meat feast.
Then pair it with some refreshing side dishes and crisp beverages.
He didn’t make too many variations: just Beef Carpaccio and beef fried rice.
Beef Carpaccio is something you don’t know how good it is until you try it— once you do, you realize it’s a heavenly delicacy.
It’s very tasty. Seeing how hard his Pokémon were training, he specially selected a portion of special ‘Clone Tauros flank meat’ to make for them.
Edible for humans, for his three little ones, and for adult Pokémon— a total of three portions.
The method is very simple; the key to this dish is actually relying on the quality of the meat to carry the flavor.
The seasoning process is also simple: wash the meat, remove tendons, and cut into shreds along the grain.
Add cool boiled water to cover the beef in the bowl by two centimeters, add a little white vinegar, and soak for ten minutes.
Because he needed to make a large quantity, Li Wei minced half a head of garlic’s worth of garlic paste and sacrificed a bunch of scallion cut into segments.
After soaking, wash the beef again and drain the water, then add salt, white sugar, I suppose you mean salt, scallion segments, chili sauce, sesame oil, squeeze in lemon juice, mix evenly and let it sit to cool and absorb flavor.
Then comes the step that infuses the soul.
Peel and core the duck pear, cut into fine shreds, lay on a plate, then lay the cooled meat on top, dig out a circle in the middle of the plate, crack in an egg yolk, and sprinkle a little black sesame.
Done.
The essence of the flavor lies in the tender meat melting in the mouth while savoring the slight spiciness mixed with sesame oil, complemented by the refreshing pear fruit flavor blending with the meat in the mouth.
(﹃)
And it’s very nutritious.
The benefits of beef are countless, and the advantages of this special Tauros meat they’re eating this time are so many even two hands can’t count them.
“Biological science race high!”
As he brought the finished rice to the dining table, Li Wei sighed like this with emotion.
The other fried rice was the result of Li Wei’s sudden inspiration.
The steps were so simple they couldn’t be simpler.
Chop scallion and carrot into bits, break up the beef mince, mix with appropriate amount of rice and pour into egg liquid to stir evenly, sprinkle salt, then scoop onto the pan and fry.

Perfect.
Eevee ate the meal with happiness all over her face, feeling that all the brain-burning hard training earlier was worth it.
“Bu Yi~”
【If I could eat something this delicious every day, I could keep up even the most intense training~】
“Really?”
“Bu Yi~”
【Of course~】
After Eevee took a sip of iced berry juice and slumped in the chair without enjoying it for long, Li Wei placed his mobile phone next to her ear.
“Bu Yi~”
【If I could eat something this delicious every day, I could keep up even the most intense training~】
The voice of what she had just said came from the mobile phone.
Excessively shocked, Eevee flipped over and stood up from the chair.
(ΩДΩ)？？？
“Then it’s a deal, Eevee— from now on, train to the death!!”
(ΩДΩ)！！！！
“Bu Yi！！！！”
【No！！！！】
￥￥￥￥￥￥
Tricking Eevee once is fun, tricking Eevee every day is always fun.
In this regular routine, the days passed one by one.
Time came to July 4.
Tian Bai finally returned from her second training session, and after getting another A+ training score, she could now apply to Magic City University with her own strength.
With conditional admission, getting the official admission letter was very straightforward.
Just upload sufficient score certificates before the specified date.
Universities generally start school in mid-September, with the score deadline on August 20— a very user-friendly design.
After Tian Bai finally received the admission letter via express delivery, their little group officially confirmed that they could party together at university too.
And so······
Such a proposal came up.
Tian Bai: Hey brothers, how about considering that little villa next to our university?
