“Come on, Beedrill—have a taste of this energy cube, see how it is.”
Thinking of the system’s capabilities,
Guo Yi didn’t hesitate to spend fifty [Trainer Points] to craft a batch of energy cubes.
Since Beedrill was a Bug and Poison-type Pokémon, the energy cube glowed with shades of green and violet.
And it had to be said—
Perfect-grade energy cubes were on another level entirely.
That amber-like luster gleamed like a polished gem, so much so that it could make a person’s mouth water.
If it had that effect on a human…
Then there was no need to even mention a Pokémon.
Beedrill’s crimson compound eyes were locked straight on the cube, unwavering.
Had it not been for the power it absorbed from the template—which had significantly improved both its strength and mental discipline— the old Beedrill would’ve already rushed in and devoured the whole thing by now.
That… was the allure of a perfect-grade energy cube.
Seeing how Beedrill was practically vibrating with anticipation, Guo Yi didn’t feel the need to tease it any further.
He simply placed the entire box of energy cubes right in front of it.
Beedrill, wasting no time, dove in and began devouring them with gusto.
Looks like I’ll need to start teaching Su Qingxue as soon as possible, Guo Yi thought to himself.
Otherwise, at this rate, my [Trainer Points] won’t even last a few more days.
Watching Beedrill feasting contentedly, Guo Yi began calculating how to move forward with training.
After all, just a single meal’s worth of energy cubes for Beedrill cost fifty [Trainer Points].
If he didn’t find a way to boost his income…
At this pace, he couldn’t even afford to feed Beedrill for half a month.
After thinking it over for a moment,
Guo Yi used his [Trainer Points] to purchase the teaching module for the move [Hone Claws], along with the corresponding training cubes.
Immediately after,
He also prepared a perfect-grade energy cube suited for Poison-types as a welcome gift for Nidoran♀.
Those few items alone had already cost him three hundred [Trainer Points].
Sure enough—
When it came to “money,” there was never such a thing as enough.
Once he had everything ready, Guo Yi set off with Beedrill in tow, heading straight to Su Qingxue’s villa.
“You. Who are you?”
“Outsiders aren’t welcome here.”
Just as Guo Yi reached the front gates, a security guard named Xiao Lin stepped up with an unfriendly expression.
Faced with his hostility, Guo Yi calmly explained, “I’m your young miss’s instructor. I’m here to teach her how to raise her Pokémon.”
“Hah!”
Xiao Lin wasn’t the only one who laughed.
The other guards nearby also snickered.
“You? And you’re calling yourself Miss Su’s teacher?”
“Our young lady is a top student at the Pokémon University in Magic City. No way she’d take someone like you as a mentor.”
“You should leave while you still can!”
“Or don’t blame me for getting physical!”
Xiao Lin’s warning was heavy with menace.
But just as he finished speaking—
The very person he looked up to, Su Qingxue, came hurrying out from the villa.
She was, of course, the same Su Qingxue who had recently become Guo Yi’s student.
“Miss, I was just about to—”
Xiao Lin tried to redeem himself with a quick pivot, but Su Qingxue’s respectful voice cut him off.
“Teacher, what brings you here?”
“I was actually just about to go invite you myself!”
She bowed deeply in a formal baishi ceremony of apprentice to master, full of deference.
She hadn’t expected Guo Yi to show up so soon.
Which was why she hadn’t yet informed the staff about her teacher.
Her plan had been to formally introduce Guo Yi to them later…
But he’d beaten her to the punch.
Guo Yi waved her off casually, without putting on any airs.
“No trouble at all.”
“I just figured, since I’ve accepted you as my student, I ought to start teaching you right away—so I came over on my own.”
Su Qingxue nodded.
“Then please, Teacher, come inside.”
Guo Yi didn’t stand on ceremony. He stepped into the villa at once.
Once his figure disappeared inside,
Su Qingxue turned coldly toward the guards.
“Mr. Guo is now my official teacher. If any of you dare disrespect him again—”
“—don’t blame me for filing a formal complaint with headquarters!”
The guards all nodded like frightened chicks.
“Understood, Miss. We won’t dare disrespect Mr. Guo ever again.”
“Yes, absolutely! You can count on us!”
Hearing her mention a complaint, the men hurriedly gave their assurances.
With Su Qingxue’s status, a single word from her could easily cost them their jobs.
Only once she saw that they understood did Su Qingxue finally turn and return to the villa, satisfied.
But the moment she stepped inside—
She saw Guo Yi placing a box of energy cubes in front of her Nidoran♀.
Her face changed immediately.
It wasn’t that she doubted the quality of the cubes Guo Yi had made—
She was afraid Nidoran♀ would snub them and embarrass her teacher.
Nidoran♀, as Su Qingxue’s starter Pokémon, lived to the highest standards.
The energy cubes it ate every day were all of supreme quality.
So she worried that this cube, painstakingly prepared by her teacher, would be dismissed with disdain.
In her mind,
Guo Yi’s financial condition didn’t exactly scream “premium quality energy cube supplier.”
But—
What happened next left her utterly stunned.
Nidoran♀ leaned in and cautiously sniffed the cube that Guo Yi had placed down.
And the next second…
She went wild—devouring it like she hadn’t eaten in days.
That posture!
It was like watching someone break a fast after starving for a week.
Su Qingxue immediately felt her pride take a hit.
“Nidoran♀, haven’t I told you to act like a lady?”
“Why have you forgotten everything all of a sudden?”
Although she mentally chided Nidoran♀ for her behavior,
She couldn’t hide her curiosity about the cube Guo Yi had given her.
She walked over and asked,
“Teacher, what did you use to make that energy cube? Nidoran♀ seems to love it.”
From Nidoran♀’s reaction, Su Qingxue could tell—
Whatever else her new teacher might be capable of,
When it came to raising Pokémon like Nidoran♀, he clearly had real experience.
To her question, Guo Yi chuckled lightly.
“This energy cube isn’t too different from the usual ones sold for Poison-type Pokémon.”
“The main difference is that I made it myself. The quality’s a bit better—barely reached perfect grade.”
Hearing Guo Yi’s utterly modest “humblebrag,” Su Qingxue couldn’t help exclaiming in shock:
“What? Perfect grade?!”
