Chapter 298: I’ll Solve All Problems In Three Days!
Wen Gongmao deliberately checked the status of Charmander and the others again, and only after repeatedly confirming that Charmander and the others were fine did Wen Gongmao finally breathe a sigh of relief.
One could only say that the power of gods was beyond what mortals could imagine; Ho-Oh could turn three ordinary Eevee into deities.
It was no surprise then that the God of a Thousand Faces turned Charmander into a Gym Level Charizard.
After bidding farewell to Wen Gongmao, Lu Li went to the library to read books again.
The world was getting more chaotic; Kyushu University might disappear one day, so he had to steal some knowledge here while it still existed.
After all, once this village passed, there would be no more shop; those noble families valued the inheritance of this knowledge more than their lives, and he couldn’t possibly rob all the noble families.
In the library rest area, Long Ying gnashed her teeth as she watched Lu Li seriously flipping through books, muttering incessantly, “This guy is such a jerk. Am I really that unattractive?”
She was almost hooked by Lu Li like a pouting fish; when there were things to do, Lu Li would play with her a bit, but once there was nothing, she couldn’t even find him.
She originally thought she was far ahead of everyone, but in the end, she hadn’t even crossed the threshold.
Lu Li naturally had no idea what the girl tailing him was thinking; right now, he was wholeheartedly absorbing precious knowledge.
Thanks to the Water Law Crystal, Lu Li found that he was not far from breaking through to Qi Refining Layer 3.
Cultivation became increasingly difficult the further one progressed, and this was true even in the Qi Refining Stage.
The first three layers of Qi Refining were still okay and could be cultivated relatively quickly, but breaking through from the early stage to the mid-stage was a small bottleneck; Lu Li didn’t know how long he would have to spend on this small bottleneck.
Lu Li, who had been reading books at school until the afternoon, directly had Espeon take him home; not wanting to waste any time, once he got home, he chose to go to the basement for seclusion.
In less than a month, he already vaguely felt that he was about to break through.
The cultivation gap between the eighteen-type mixed spiritual root and the water-type earth spiritual root was truly like heaven and earth.
He was just a little bit away.
Lu Li continuously circulated the Qi Refining Art, with spiritual energy constantly impacting the bottleneck in his body.
One week later.
During this week, Yao Yifei came to the basement almost every day; if not for confirming that Lu Li was still breathing and Wobbuffet saying that Lu Li’s body was very healthy, she would have almost forcibly interrupted Lu Li’s cultivation.
Lu Li let out a heavy breath; Qi Refining Layer 3 was achieved!
After stepping into Qi Refining Layer 3, he had truly entered cultivation.
First of all, he could now refine his natal magic treasure and contract his natal spirit beast.
For his first natal spirit beast, Lu Li had already decided.
Most importantly…
Lu Li lowered his head and gently touched the gem on his necklace.
Lu Li didn’t know if he should take a gamble.
Now, there were two contract targets in front of him.
The first was Gimmighoul; as a true deity, Gimmighoul corresponded to a true immortal beast in the cultivation world.
The second was Terapagos; Lu Li didn’t know if the gem on his neck was Terapagos, nor if he could succeed.
This was also what made Lu Li hesitate.
Now he could only contract one natal Pokémon; the safest choice was definitely Gimmighoul, but Terapagos was a Tier 1 God.
Just as Lu Li was hesitating, a strange sensation welled up in his heart.
Contracting Terapagos now was indeed too early.
Lu Li decided to give his first time to Gimmighoul.
“Sigh! That girl gets the advantage.” Terapagos sighed inwardly.
It didn’t know what Lu Li wanted to do to it, but one thing was certain: this matter wouldn’t harm it much, but it would affect the world.
Out of responsibility, Terapagos gave up this opportunity, and also to observe what Lu Li really wanted to do.
After leaving the basement, Yao Yifei, full of concern, ran over and hugged Lu Li tightly.
“You jerk, you worried me to death.” Yao Yifei murmured softly.
Being hugged, Lu Li was a bit at a loss, not even knowing where to put his hands.
A bit higher or a bit lower?
In the end, Lu Li chose the more gentlemanly approach.
Lu Li gently patted Yao Yifei’s back to comfort her, “Don’t worry, I’m fine.”
It wasn’t until a full minute later that Yao Yifei let go of Lu Li, then complained while looking at him, “You meditated for a whole week!”
“I’m really fine, and you need to get used to this slowly; there will be more such things in the future.” While comforting Yao Yifei, Lu Li also reminded her.
As a cultivator, his future cultivation time would only get longer, and Yao Yifei needed to get used to it early.
Intentionally changing the subject, Lu Li casually asked, “During the week I was in seclusion, did anything happen outside?”
“Except for your little lovers calling you, nothing else really.” Yao Yifei replied.
“Oh right.” Yao Yifei also remembered something that wasn’t a big deal.
Yao Yifei said, “Qingfeng City’s new Gym Leader has taken office; it’s a Poison Attribute trainer.”
Lu Li raised his eyebrows and said with some pity, “Poison Attribute trainer? Trainers like that are not easy to get along with.”
Jin Fengjiao’s days must be really tough now.
Yao Yifei nodded in deep agreement, “Indeed, she even calls every day.”
Just as Yao Yifei finished speaking, a familiar phone ringtone sounded.
Yao Yifei looked at Lu Li helplessly and said, “No need to look; I know it’s definitely Jin Fengjiao.”
Because Lu Li had put his phone in the space ring, Jin Fengjiao, unable to reach Lu Li’s phone, could only call the villa’s phone.
“I’ll get it.” After stopping Yao Yifei who was about to answer the phone, Lu Li helplessly walked to the phone.
“Hello, this is Lu Li.” Lu Li said into the receiver.
“Lu Li!”
Jin Fengjiao’s excited voice came from the phone, even sounding like she was crying with joy.
Lu Li said in a deep voice, “It’s me.”
Jin Fengjiao hurriedly introduced herself, “I’m your Aunt Fengjiao.”
“I know.” Lu Li replied calmly.
As if not hearing the indifference in Lu Li’s tone, Jin Fengjiao cried out excitedly, “Lu Li, you have to stand up for our Lili!”
Lu Li: “…”
Guessing roughly what she wanted, Lu Li asked helplessly, “What happened to Lili?”
“The new Gym Leader is from the Du Family; as soon as that guy arrived, he not only forcibly occupied our gym, but even Aunt Liu Li’s ecological park he doesn’t want to let go.”
“The most outrageous thing is that he even wants his son to marry Lili; he doesn’t even look at what kind of character his son has.”
Jin Fengjiao ranted and raved on the phone, pouring out almost all the grievances of these days.
Lu Li pinched the bridge of his nose with some annoyance.
He might not care about the Yu Family or even Jin Fengjiao’s life or death, but Aunt Liu Li had been really good to him, and Yu Lili went without saying.
Without Yao Yifei and the others, Yu Lili might have been his first love girlfriend.
Lu Li said helplessly, “I got it; I’ll think of something.”
After hanging up the phone, Lu Li asked Yao Yifei next to him, “Sister Yao, do you know the identity of Qingfeng City’s new Gym Leader?”
“It’s said that the new Gym Leader is from the collateral branch of the Du Family, one of the Eighteen Great Attribute Families.” Yao Yifei replied.
“Poison Attribute Family Du Family?” Lu Li asked in surprise.
Yao Yifei nodded and explained, “Recently, all noble families have been frantically expanding their forces, and the Du Family is no exception; after a series of wrangling, Qingfeng City ended up in the Du Family’s hands.”
“That’s really bad news.” Lu Li felt a bit helpless in his heart; if possible, he really didn’t want to offend the Du Family.
Lu Li asked thoughtfully, “Do you think he would give face to me, the Rainbow Hero?”
“That’s probably unlikely.” Yao Yifei shook her head.
“Why?” Lu Li was a bit puzzled; in the Jiuzhou Alliance, he had used this Rainbow Hero identity to avoid quite a few troubles.
Yao Yifei: “Because he has a son named Ducat.”
After saying that, Yao Yifei gave him a strange look.
You beat someone’s son, and then they give you face? Do you think that’s possible?
Ducat…
Lu Li felt speechless again in his heart.
If Yao Yifei hadn’t suddenly mentioned this name, he would have almost forgotten that person’s existence.
“Does that Gym Leader Du care a lot about his son?”
Yao Yifei nodded and said, “It’s said that Gym Leader Du dotes on his son quite a bit.”
Lu Li asked again, “By the way, did you visit him when he took office?”
Yao Yifei shook her head; at that time, because Lu Li had been in seclusion cultivating, all her attention was on Lu Li, so where did she have time to care about such favors?
“Then how about we visit in person?” Lu Li said teasingly.
Seeing Lu Li’s attitude of not taking the other party seriously, Yao Yifei reminded him, “That Gym Leader Du is a Heavenly King Level trainer.”
“Heavenly King Level? Even better.” Lu Li smiled, still not taking the other party seriously.
Because he planned to call in reinforcements next.
Contract, Water Scroll, Gym Leader Du, Divine Cult—these four things could be handled together.
“Could it be…”
Thinking of something, Yao Yifei stared at Lu Li with wide eyes.
Lu Li, full of smiles, nodded.
“Then there’s no problem, and… it can also intimidate those lurkers in the shadows.”
After the manor was rebuilt, Milotic also had a new home; the original small pond had become the current small lake.
Just as they arrived at the lake, Milotic, sensing Lu Li, emerged from the lake.
“Na~”
(Trainer, you haven’t come to see me for 7 days.)
Milotic complained as soon as she came up.
Lu Li made a gesture of surrender, then apologized, “Xiao Mei, sorry! I’ve been in seclusion cultivating recently and just came out now.”
“Na~”
(I’ll forgive you this time; if it happens again, tell me in advance.)
Milotic tsundere-ly accepted Lu Li’s apology.
Lu Li also hurriedly guaranteed it wouldn’t happen next time, then smoothly changed the subject, “By the way, Xiao Mei, how have your recent gains been?”
“Na~”
(I feel like I’ve comprehended a bit, but it’s only comprehension in attribute energy.)
Milotic answered helplessly.
It had been nearly half a month since she became more beautiful, or more precisely, her speed of becoming more beautiful had been at a snail’s pace for half a month.
“This can’t be rushed, but I’ve had big gains recently, so this problem should be solvable soon.” Lu Li continued patting his chest in guarantee.
Milotic happily agreed.
After all, Milotic still quite trusted Lu Li this trainer.
“Lend me the Wellspring Mask; I need to summon Gimmighoul now.” Lu Li said.
Milotic directly returned the Wellspring Mask to Lu Li.
Holding the Wellspring Mask, Lu Li injected spiritual energy into it, activating the mark left by Gimmighoul in the mask.
Lu Li then quietly waited in place.
Moments later, a pink little head poked out from the space rift.
Although only half a small head was poked out, Lu Li recognized its identity at a glance.
Extremely short, fine, and dense pink body hair, large triangular eyes, and a pair of cat-like ears.
Confirmed.
The legendary street wanderer—Mew.
Mew, who had just poked out half its head, was yanked back by a force, then Gimmighoul jumped out from the space rift.
Gimmighoul asked, “Lu Li, is that you calling me?”
Lu Li didn’t speak, but looked somewhat regretfully at the gradually closing space rift.
Mew was out of reach, but Gimmighoul coming was pretty good.
Lu Li didn’t know how Mew in this world was positioned; in the anime world, Mew’s genes contained information on all Pokémon, could use all moves, and was even once considered the origin of all Pokémon.
In terms of prestige, Mew was definitely T0, possibly second only to Arceus.
“There have been a lot of things troubling you recently, so I gathered everything together to try to resolve it all within three days.” Lu Li explained a bit embarrassedly.
After explaining, Lu Li asked slyly, “Would this be too much trouble for you?”
“You’re my companion, the companion who saved the world with me; there’s no trouble or not.” Gimmighoul refuted seriously with its small face.
“Mm! Looks like I was too polite.” Lu Li smoothly admitted his mistake, then began “exploiting” Gimmighoul.
“First is this.”
Lu Li took out the Water Scroll.
Gimmighoul curiously examined the Water Scroll Lu Li took out.
It could sense that the item in Lu Li’s hand was extraordinary, even comparable to its own Wellspring Mask, but regrettably, this thing seemed to be only a semi-finished product.
“This is the Water Scroll; I need you to connect the Water Scroll with the Law of Water and the world rules.” Lu Li said.
In short, this was like a certification, or a switch connecting the origin of the Law of Water to the world rules.
“That’s simple.” Gimmighoul nodded, then continued asking, “Any other requirements?”
Lu Li continued, “If you can infuse the Law of Water into the scroll, it would be even more perfect.”
“That’s easy too.” Gimmighoul indicated again that it was no problem.
The requirements Lu Li mentioned were actually not difficult for a true god; if the world was compared to a huge computer.
Then almost every god had control permissions over this computer, just more or less; connecting an external device was very simple.
