So charming, you want me to raise Pokémon?

Chapter 281 The God of Ancient Donghuang Who Controls Card Drawing

When Wei Xin returned to his room, he found that Cynthia and Zygarde were not discussing history, but were lying on the sofa with their phones in their hands.

"Gold! Gold!" Cynthia shouted, her eyes wide as she stared at the screen.

Then, golden light shone on Cynthia's face.

Could it be?

In the moment of extreme excitement, the card was flipped over, and Cynthia's smile vanished instantly.

The minimum guarantee was off.

"Why did you suddenly start playing games?" Wei Xin asked, puzzled.

"It's break time, take a short break," Cynthia wiped away imaginary tears and handed her phone to Wei Xin. "You're just in time. There's a limited-time banner today. Zygarde and I both pulled, but unfortunately, we didn't get anything. We have ten pulls left. Why don't you give it a try?"

Wei Xin took the phone. Cynthia was playing a standard gacha game. The character cards in the game were scholars, gym leaders, Elite Four members, champions, and famous trainers from various regions. Today was a rerun of the gacha pool—the character was Cynthia herself.

If you can't even get Cynthia yourself, then you're just pathetic.

"Why not spend money on in-game purchases?"

"Speed-through gameplay with real money isn't fun. It's more exciting to save up resources and draw cards. Besides, I don't really want my own cards."

Wei Xin checked the trademark; the game's Chinese version was distributed by Tencent.

Did Ma Liang give me some magical tool?

He remembered that Master Ma had given him an activation code that could increase the card draw rate.

"Wait for me." Wei Xin ran to his room, found the business card that had been lying around in the drawer for a long time, memorized the activation code on it, walked out of the room, and carefully placed his phone in the center of the living room.

Under the puzzled gazes of Cynthia and Zygarde, they took out ice cream, cake, and pudding from the refrigerator, along with a textbook personally written by Cynthia, and placed them in the four corners.

"Are you performing some kind of ritual?"

Shirona watched as Wei Xin made a hand seal with one hand and muttered incantations. Although she couldn't understand it, she was deeply impressed.

"Yes, may God protect you."

Wei Xin held the phone up to a position where neither of them could see the screen.

He entered a string of characters on the redemption code interface. Theoretically, entering this activation code once would give him a gold card, but a gold card is nothing special and can only be considered a surprise. To make Cynthia happy and shocked, he needed more, so he entered the activation code five times.

But he wasn't sure whether the system would give a gold card with every 10 pulls or give all 10 cards with a single pull.

Kidd smiled.

"How can there be divine intervention to bless gacha pulls in games?"

"How about we make a bet?" Wei Xin raised an eyebrow.

"No gambling!"

Kirchner quickly shook his head, refusing firmly. As far as he knew, Wei Xin appeared kind on the surface, but was actually full of wicked schemes.

Anyone who opposes Wei Xin will basically meet a bad end if Wei Xin is unwilling to let them go; it's terrifying.

He has no need to challenge an opponent he cannot defeat.

"Then forget it." After pretending to perform the ritual, Wei Xin, panting heavily and looking exhausted and pitiful, handed the phone back to Xilona and said sincerely.

"I've done my best, the rest is up to you."

What is Wei Xin acting in?

Cynthia took the phone, completely bewildered. Her gaze darted back and forth between Wei Xin's face and the gacha interface. After enduring the torment of getting every pity pull wrong and then having to force her way through the pity pull, she was certain that she was incredibly unlucky. She even suspected that the game developers had tricked her, hiding a 3D dragon or Rotom in the gacha system.

But upon seeing Wei Xin's sincere and confident eyes, her dead heart began to stir again.

What if it really works? The Eastern Empire is so vast, what if there really is a god who controls card draws?

Nervously swallowing, Cynthia moved her finger to the button for ten draws and pressed it resolutely.

Then, golden light, representing hope, covered the gray pupils.

Although there is a guaranteed minimum, it is triggered the moment the minimum minimum ends, so it's not a loss.

Is the mystical method of gacha pulls actually true?

Cynthia couldn't believe it, but what she found even more unbelievable was that the blinding golden light hadn't ended even after the guaranteed reward was triggered.

Cynthia's expression froze, and her fingers gripping the screen trembled slightly. Either her eyes were malfunctioning or the system had gone crazy.

They're still withdrawing funds?

The second, the third, the fourth, the fifth!!

Five characters were released in a row, and not a single one was off-limits. While acquiring new cards, the characters were also fully upgraded.

Wow, that's awesome!

In the end, the gacha system's guarantee of a blue or purple card in every ten pulls became a burden.

That brief minute had a tremendous impact on Cynthia.

She lifted her hair with both hands and saw that Wei Xin's face was a little pale. It didn't seem like he was acting; it seemed like his body had really been drained. She remembered when students were drawing cards, they would often sacrifice their roommates and family members.

A look of horror.

"You didn't just accidentally spend your lifespan on this, did you?"

Wei Xin coughed and forced a smile, saying, "As long as you're happy, a mere twenty-five years of lifespan is nothing."

"Twenty-five years!"

Cynthia cried out, "Five gold cards will cost twenty-five years of my lifespan! That's a quarter of my life!"

"Then you can only help me draw from three more pools?"

Wei Xin tilted his head and blinked in disbelief.

Is that correct?

Twenty-five years of lifespan! If Marie and Lillie heard that, they would probably rush over to comfort you with heartache. How come it's just a mere quarter of your lifespan?

Cold-hearted woman! I will never help you again.

"So, what exactly did you do?" Cynthia asked curiously.

Although for a moment she did suspect Wei Xin of doing something foolish, after thinking it over, she realized that Wei Xin was a smart man and it was unlikely that he would do something so stupid. — Cynthia turned her head and looked at the garden. Half of the ice had melted, and there was nothing she could do with the Ice Eevee. The Sylveon looked utterly hopeless.

I remember a long time ago, on Hunter J's plane.

He jumped off the plane without hesitation to save Eevee, and during the Hoenn incident, he risked his life to save a Hoenn he had never met before.

Given Wei Xin's personality, it doesn't seem impossible.

"Just a little trick," Wei Xin said nonchalantly.

After class, Cynthia continued her discussion of history with Zygarde: "So why did Qin Shi Huang get rid of his son?"

Wei Xin pulled out a chair, sat down at the table, and was about to continue writing the test paper when he suddenly felt something was wrong. He looked between his legs and found that something was missing from his legs.

It's a kitten.

Normally at this time, Sylveon would be nestled on his lap, acting all cute, but now he's frozen in the yard by Glaceon.

Wei Xin turned his head and saw Fire Spotted Cat curled up in the corner, its brows furrowed.

Was this a nightmare, or a panic attack?

He took out his heavy gloves and grabbed Litten's waist.

"Meow!" The fire-spotted cat woke up from its nightmare and instinctively turned its head and bit down.

Gardevoir glanced at it, then looked away.

Until the Firefly smelled a familiar scent.

Looking up, I saw Wei Xin's face, and instantly, terror crept up my spine.

She actually attacked the trainer?

Ruined.

Firefly opened its mouth, its eyes widened, and it gasped for breath, almost fainting from exhaustion.

Wei Xin stroked the Fire Spotted Cat's body, helped her catch her breath, and placed the gloves in front of her.

"Don't worry, you only bit the glove."

"7

The fear and dissociation in the cat may be caused by psychological trauma resulting from high-pressure environment and extreme internal conflict in the past. Special methods are needed to treat it.

Therefore, Wei Xin chose to reassure the Fire Spotted Cat and make it realize that there was no threat in the surrounding environment.

As expected, Litten breathed a sigh of relief after noticing that its trainer was not injured.

"This Litten is probably hand-raised, right? It's so terrified. Was it abused by its former trainer?" Cynthia asked.

Not all trainers can truly treat Pokémon as family, partners, and collaborators, and live in harmony with them. There is an insurmountable gap between people and Pokémon. In fact, it is common for novice trainers to use incorrect training methods and attitudes towards Pokémon.

It requires constant adjustment to choose the right Pokémon and training method for you.

Even when people try to persuade or correct them, many remain stubbornly unyielding.

However, Cynthia found Wei Xin's attitude and methods towards Pokémon interesting and appreciated them. He provided sufficient emotional value without being overly indulgent, and he corrected shortcomings while encouraging them. He was able to tolerate almost all Pokémon, a maturity that many veteran trainers had to overcome.

Is it because of a lack of love that one learns how to love others and Pokémon?

"It's just a lack of cultivation methods and experience," Wei Xin said nonchalantly.

While someone's attitude and methods toward Litten were certainly wrong, this is not just a personal problem.

Even among parents, how many can truly fulfill their responsibilities to their children?

However, Wei Xin didn't care about the problems he couldn't solve. Anyway, Litten was already his Pokémon. As for that other person, let him obediently go and fight against Neoleaf.

He picked up the cat, sat down at the table, and while working on the test papers, gently stroked it with one hand to soothe it.

A sense of security she had never felt before welled up in Litsea Meow's heart. It seemed that in this home, she didn't need to worry about having her food withheld if she couldn't complete her training tasks tomorrow, nor did she need to worry about being scolded or beaten if she unintentionally angered her trainer.

An idea uncontrollably popped into Litten's mind.

If only I had escaped sooner.

Immediately, a strange sense of guilt washed over him. How could he have forgotten his former trainer so quickly?

But the discomfort was gradually dispelled by the comfort emanating from my neck.

Its black tail swayed gently.

Wow, what a fantastic find!

Sylveon scurried back into the house and saw Litten lying on its trainer's lap with a delighted expression. It felt like the sky was about to fall.

After Kirlia evolves into Gardevoir, that spot will be exclusively for her.

How can I allow a cat to snore beside my bed?

It pounced on Wei Xin, climbed onto his back, wrapped its legs and antennae tightly around his neck, puffed out its cheeks, and made an unhappy whimpering sound.

"Alright, you little jealous person."

Wei Xin placed the sleeping Litten on the table, then hugged Sylveon in his arms, resting his chin on Sylveon's head.

Being too popular can be exhausting.

Before long, night fell, and the sounds in the room gradually subsided. Cynthia lay on the sofa, her eyelids battling fiercely, fluctuating between wakefulness and unconsciousness. In the end, she couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep on the sofa without any warning.

In a daze, I felt someone pick me up.

who is it?

The last vestiges of consciousness peeked through the gap between his eyelids and saw a familiar figure.

Although it is very robust, it is not black, but blue.

You thought it was Wei Xin, but it's actually me, Lucario.

Unlike the quiet and peaceful home of Wei Xin, at the same time, someone else's home...

Furniture lay scattered on the floor, creating a scene of utter chaos.

"Meow!" New Leaf Meow arched its back, its fur bristling, and stared at the trainer, the last man beside the trainer, and the large wolfhound beside the man.

"Hurry up and beat Xin Ye Miao into submission!" Yang Ruyan patted the boy's shoulder and urged him.

The boy gasped and looked down at the ground, where other boys lay sprawled out like the Calabash Brothers trying to save their grandfather, along with an unconscious Pokémon.

Scyther, Totodile, Butterfree ——————

They were all defeated by the new Leaf Cat in front of them, which had just left the breeding house.

He's practically a god of war.

but.

"The big wolfhound and I will not lose."

"Awoo!" the large wolfhound said confidently.

Xin Ye Miao's body swayed unsteadily, his consciousness blurred, and after several fierce battles, his strength was gradually exhausted.

In fact, even at his peak, he couldn't defeat the hyena.

Yet he still struggled to support his body, staring at the two people in front of him, in a moment when his physical strength was exhausted, his consciousness was overwhelmed by fear and resentment, and his spirit was on the verge of its limit.

In the midst of endless burning anger, as its potential was unleashed and it absorbed the experience provided by the Calabash Brothers, an unknown power flowed and expanded through New Leaf Cat's limbs.

In an instant, the light of evolution flashed, and the entire room became as bright as day.
