Chapter 4: As A Transmigrator, It’s Normal To Know A Little Of Everything, Right?
Hearing this, the driver nodded and didn’t ask any more questions, after all, this passenger clearly didn’t want to chat more on this topic.
In fact, Lu Li couldn’t exactly be considered lying, since his ancestral home was originally Golden Chicken Village, but 10 years ago because his grandfather passed away, his family moved to Qingfeng City.
As for why he was alone now, that was another “accident.”
After the maglev car left the city, its speed increased significantly, and it took less than two hours for Lu Li to be dropped off at Golden Chicken Village.
When getting out of the car, Lu Li said, “Master, trouble you to leave your phone number. I’ll need to trouble you to come pick me up again later, since it’s pretty hard to call a cab here.”
The driver nodded and asked eagerly, “Sure! Fare is 120, cash or transfer?”
Lu Li: “Transfer.”
After leaving his phone number, the driver drove away. Lu Li didn’t enter Golden Chicken Village, but instead took out a Turtle Shell from his Backpack.
As a premium transmigrator proficient in Cultivation Hundred Arts, it was reasonable for him to know Divination, right?
Although due to the different Laws of this world, his Divination could only calculate Luck, Metaphysics should still work fine.
Casting the divination, reciting the Incantation.
Three Ancient Copper Coins fell to the ground.
Looking at the Copper Coins on the ground, Lu Li was silent for a moment before picking them up, then turned and plunged into the Great Mountain.
The Divination showed that this trip would have danger but no disaster, and the east was a Great Omen of Good Fortune.
The Divination was giving such face, saying east was Great Omen of Good Fortune, so he definitely had to believe in Metaphysics this time.
As for what if the Divination showed Great Omen of Misfortune? Cultivators cultivate to Defy Fate, right? Which Cultivator in this day and age believes in fate?
Another reason why Qingfeng City couldn’t develop was that the endless Qingfeng Mountain Range made Qingfeng City’s geographical position somewhat awkward.
After all, the wilderness was Pokémon’s home turf, and even with human Technology now, they didn’t dare to recklessly change the environment of any Area.
Holding the Cleaver and hacking through the underbrush, Lu Li enjoyed the Benefit of successful cultivation for the first time; he hacked for more than six hours straight with the Cleaver, yet his body felt no fatigue at all.
As he went deeper and deeper, Lu Li encountered more and more Pokémon.
Pidgey in the sky, Rattata on the ground, occasionally a few Caterpie, and he even spotted a Paras hiding in Withered Leaves.
Unfortunately, his goal was Pokémon Eggs, otherwise Paras would be pretty good too.
Paras, as a Bug/Grass dual Attribute Pokémon, had a Base Stat Total over 400, with decent Combat Power, and more importantly, Paras was an economic-type Pokémon.
Paras could support itself; the mushroom on its back was a sustainable Growth Resource, and it fetched a good Price.
Stopping to eat a few bites of rations and rest for a moment, Lu Li continued cheating.
As a transmigrator skilled in Cultivation Hundred Arts, knowing a bit of Spirit Sight Technique was normal, right?
Spirit Sight Technique was a minor Spell that spirit vein prospectors in Cultivation Hundred Arts had to learn, with the general effect of distinguishing which Areas had denser Spiritual Energy, to precisely locate spirit veins buried underground.
In the Pokémon World, the effect of Spirit Sight Technique was similar, mainly distinguishing the density of Attribute Energy.
After activating Spirit Sight Technique, Lu Li discovered he had entered a very strange world, one composed of various Attribute Energies.
Hmm?
Lu Li looked in surprise at the third mountain peak in the distance.
“Strange…”
Lu Li muttered to himself in confusion, “Areas that actively gather surrounding Attribute Energy are common, but what’s this ghost that’s actively emitting Attribute Energy?”
Thinking of this, Lu Li suddenly remembered a book introducing Secret Realms.
Besides Divine Beasts, only legendary Secret Realms actively emitted Energy.
In this world, Secret Realms were actually Fragments left after other worlds’ Destruction; those Fragments were stabilized by the Time-Space Twin Gods with spacetime power, then drifted outside the world, that is, in the Void.
If two worlds were similar, these Fragments would gradually merge into the other undestroyed world, and since the destroyed world’s Attribute Energy levels generally exceeded the Real World…
…these Secret Realms continuously leaked Attribute Energy outward, just like a small Bottle full of water still leaking nonstop.
So was this a special case, or…
After turning off Spirit Sight Technique, Lu Li forcibly suppressed his pounding heart, then picked up the Cleaver from the ground and continued toward that mountain peak.
Spirit Sight Technique actually consumed quite a lot; with his Qi Refining Layer One trash Cultivation Level, persisting for three minutes was already impressive.
As the saying goes, the mountain looks close but tires the horse to death; it clearly didn’t look far, but actually walking it took over two hours.
After reaching a Big Tree, Lu Li sat on the ground to cultivate and recover the Energy he had just consumed.
“I don’t know if it’s because of Luck or some special reason, but along the way I surprisingly didn’t encounter any wild Pokémon Attacks. Not sure if this counts as good Luck or bad Luck.” Lu Li thought with some relief.
Normally, most wild Pokémon had Territory awareness; facing sudden intruders into their Territory, wild Pokémon would usually intimidate or Attack the intruder.
But he had come all this way peacefully, which was actually pretty weird.
After recovering mostly, Lu Li activated Spirit Sight Technique again to search for the Attribute Energy emission point.
“On the mountainside…”
Lu Li continued forward with the Cleaver.
Whoosh~
A Stone wrapped in Dark Attribute Energy shot toward Lu Li’s head; with a Cultivator’s keen senses, Lu Li dodged the sudden Attack dangerously by crouching down.
Boom!
The unlucky Big Tree behind Lu Li was instantly shot in half by the Stone.
“Hiss~”
Feeling the commotion behind him, Lu Li sucked in a cold breath.
“That was close! Just a little closer and I could’ve switched to ghost cultivation!” Lu Li, feeling a lingering fear, sharply looked toward the direction the Stone came from.
A strange Pokémon with long fur, grayish-white all over, looking like a monkey but with a pig nose, was standing on a tree, staring at Lu Li with blood-red eyes.
“Primeape???”
“Primeape!!!”
Seeing this Pokémon’s appearance, Lu Li froze completely.
He didn’t know whether to say his Luck was good or bad.
Primeape!
This was a Pokémon that had never appeared outside, and he had actually encountered it.
But the problem was, such an existence had at least Elite Level Strength.
He was just someone who wasn’t even a Rookie Trainer, and he ran into this thing right away? How could he fight it?
According to the game settings, Primeape evolved from Primeape learning Rage Fist, and Primeape needed level 35 to learn Rage Fist.
Converted to Pokémon World Strength, that was Mid-Elite Level; in the Real World, Primeape definitely didn’t evolve just from Rage Fist alone.
If it were really that simple, the Pokémon Alliance would have discovered this evolution from Primeape long ago, after all, Primeape’s Base Stat Total was as high as 535, already exceeding the Starter Pokémon’s Base Stat Total.
