Chapter 73: Outrageous Speed Boost
Yu Lili’s culinary skill was not that great, even inferior to those housewives, but for a second-generation like Lili, having such culinary skill was already quite impressive.
Seeing Lu Li stuff the beef into his mouth, Yu Lili asked full of expectation: “How is it?”
After swallowing the beef in his mouth, Lu Li praised: “It’s pretty tasty.”
“That’s good!”
Yu Lili also breathed a sigh of relief.
“Fortunately, it’s not unpalatable.” Yu Lili thought luckily.
While eating, Lu Li said: “After finishing the meal, I plan to go sow the seeds.”
“Need any help?”
“No need. Professional matters should be handled by a professional like me.”
“True, berries are quite hard to plant, but for you, it’s indeed not difficult.” Yu Lili nodded in strong agreement, then asked again: “By the way, has the speed activation potion been manufactured? It’s okay if it failed, after all…”
“Making success.” Lu Li was concise, as if talking about something insignificant.
A flash of surprise passed through Yu Lili’s eyes, but she quickly calmed down.
“I find you so versatile—Pokémon breeding, potion making, berry planting. You wouldn’t happen to know how to make items too, would you?” Yu Lili looked at Lu Li with eyes full of worship.
Hearing this, Lu Li couldn’t help but glance at Yu Lili. He found that this woman had a bit of prophecy talent.
Seeing Lu Li’s reaction, Yu Lili said incredulously: “You really know how to make Pokémon items?”
“Just got started, only manufactured Poké Balls.” Lu Li said modestly.
Yu Lili: “…”
Yu Lili really wanted to advise Lu Li not to spread his energy so thin, but considering that President Lu outperformed her in every field, Yu Lili ultimately didn’t advise further.
After finishing the meal, Lu Li took out the speed activation potions he had prepared earlier.
“This is for you.” Lu Li placed three potions on the table.
Yu Lili also curiously examined the potions on the table.
“This is the speed activation potion? It looks pretty ordinary.” Yu Lili commented.
“But I only need two. How about sending the remaining one to auction?” Yu Lili asked.
Lu Li shook his head: “Better not. This speed activation potion has been improved by me. Its effect is the same as a normal speed activation potion, but it can be used three times.”
Hearing this, Yu Lili’s first reaction was disbelief.
She didn’t believe Lu Li was such a freakish genius, improving a rare potion at just 16 years old—something even potion masters couldn’t do.
“I’m telling the truth.” Lu Li’s tone was calm, even giving an illusion of unquestionable certainty.
Lu Li had his reasons for laying his cards on the table. He had indeed considered auctioning it before, but worried its uniqueness would be detected.
In the end, Lu Li chose a partial reveal.
Seeing Yu Lili’s hesitant expression, Lu Li suggested: “Wailmer can wait. You can let Squirtle try it first.”
Yu Lili ultimately chose to believe Lu Li. After all, having known him so long, she had never seen him boast.
Yu Lili released Squirtle, then placed the potion in front of it.
Pokémon like this, as children of nature, inherently possess a faint instinct to seek fortune and avoid harm.
Upon seeing the potion in front of it, Squirtle’s eyes lit up instantly. Its Pokémon instinct told it this was something good.
Squirtle eagerly picked up one potion, bit open the wooden stopper with its mouth, and poured the potion into its mouth.
After finishing one potion, the still unsatisfied Squirtle went for the other two potions.
In less than a moment, all three speed activation potions were drunk by Squirtle.
Yu Lili hurriedly asked: “How is it? Any feelings?”
“Squirtle~”
（Feels amazing.）
Squirtle gave a thumbs up.
Yu Lili scanned it again with the Pokédex, and after confirming Squirtle was fine, she asked suspiciously: “You didn’t just split the effect of one into three, did you?”
Lu Li: “…”
Lu Li speechlessly gave Yu Lili a glance, then complained: “Why don’t you take Squirtle to test it and see if the effect is watered down?”
Yu Lili nodded upon hearing this, then took Squirtle to the backyard to test speed.
Lu Li also took this opportunity to call Tropius and Charmander.
After scanning the surroundings with spiritual power and confirming Bronzong wasn’t paying attention, Lu Li tossed three pills into Tropius’s mouth.
For the remaining three pills, Lu Li decided to give them to Xiao Mei after it evolved.
After swallowing the pills, Tropius let out a joyful cry, then flapped its wings and soared into the sky.
Watching Tropius circling in the sky, Lu Li nodded in satisfaction.
After brief observation, Lu Li found that Xiao Lü’s speed had at least tripled. The effect of the speed activation pill could be described as outrageous.
After flying several laps in the sky, the somewhat reluctant Tropius landed again, as it had more important matters to report to its trainer.
“Hot!”
Tropius cried out happily.
“You comprehended a new skill?” Lu Li looked at Tropius excitedly.
The delighted Tropius nodded, then demonstrated its newly comprehended skill.
Tropius suddenly accelerated fiercely, shooting out like a cannonball. After charging over 100 meters, Tropius barely stopped itself.
“Double-Edge?”
Lu Li was somewhat puzzled.
Tropius had developed speed, so why did it comprehend Double-Edge? Normally, it should be a speed move like Quick Attack.
He remembered.
Tropius apparently couldn’t learn Quick Attack.
“Double-Edge can count as a speed move, I suppose? And with Tropius’s build and vitality, Double-Edge is actually a pretty good skill.”
Thinking of this, Lu Li also nodded quite satisfied.
“Hahaha…”
“Lu Li, you absolutely can’t imagine how much my turtle’s speed has improved.” Yu Lili, face full of excitement, ran over holding Squirtle.
Seeing this scene, Lu Li’s mouth twitched slightly. Those who didn’t know would think you drank the speed activation potion.
Though complaining inwardly, Lu Li still cooperated by asking: “How much did it improve?”
“Three times! My turtle’s speed has fully tripled, and even the talent boost from the sand scale fruit was activated.” Yu Lili looked like she had made a huge profit.
A normal speed activation potion could boost speed by about 75%, but the speed activation potion made by Lu Li was outrageously effective.
Lu Li thoughtfully looked at Squirtle.
Normally, a speed activation potion couldn’t be this heaven-defying, but considering this turtle in front of him wasn’t ordinary, Lu Li instantly understood.
This Squirtle had eaten ten sand scale fruits. With the talent enhancement from the sand scale fruits, then developed by the speed activation potion, such a massive speed surge made sense.
