Chapter 27 You're right, but that's just how it is...
Marie and Morbee were washing dishes in the kitchen, while Wei Xin and Ralts were sitting in the living room, with the game console connected to the LCD screen.
As the words "Pokémon Fighting" appeared on the screen, Wei Xin held Ralts in his arms and began to operate the game.
The game mode is single-player, the difficulty is set to "torture", and the selected character is Infernape.
The computer chose Lucario, which activated Mega Evolution at the start of the battle, doubling its attack, HP, and movement speed.
With his masterful gaming skills, Wei Xin controlled Infernape, dodging Lucario's attacks time and time again. By moving around and finding the recovery animation of Lucario's attacks, he then executed a close-range attack to deal effective damage.
Just as Lucario was about to counterattack, I shook the controller to accelerate, sacrificing the last bit of damage to create distance.
The intense battle on the screen piqued Ralts' interest, and every time Wei Xin made a move, she would mimic the Infernape's movements on the screen with exaggerated gestures.
However, the computer was not to be underestimated. It repeatedly used Lucario's sure-hit Aura Sphere to forcibly weaken Infernape's HP, and even seized the opportunity to use Life Drop to restore its own HP.
Wei Xin's health bar, which he had painstakingly whittled down, was almost completely restored in an instant.
You're right, but that's Lucario for you. It has hidden modes, mechanics, stats, and auto-healing. Its ranged missiles can't be blocked, and it can unleash infinite combos in close combat. We Lucario players are truly amazing!
As the health bars waxed and waned, Lucario, with its numerical advantage, quickly turned the match from evenly matched to one-sided.
"Ralu!"
Seeing that the trainer was about to be defeated, Ralts became anxious and wished she could rush in and punch Lucario's knee twice.
"No rush," Wei Xin said calmly, but his hands moved faster and faster. Finally, after using a block to reduce the damage from Lucario's missile attack, Infernape successfully entered Blaze mode, displaying a red-eyed effect. For a short time, its speed and attack were greatly increased, and it had a higher probability of landing a critical hit.
Lucario's health bar also entered the kill threshold.
Lucario quickly created distance, attempting to use Life Drop to restore his health again.
Wei Xin first used Smoke Charge to close the distance, and after entering the attack range, he followed up with Mach Punch to flash in front of Lucario. He then launched a full close-range attack, and when Lucario tried to counterattack during the last part of the close-range attack, Wei Xin unleashed Mach Punch, punching Lucario in the chin, emptying Lucario's health bar, and finishing him off.
A victory icon appeared on the screen.
"Ralts!" Seeing her trainer win, Ralts jumped for joy.
"Ralts, do you want to try controlling it yourself?" Wei Xin put down the controller, stretched, hugged Ralts, and asked.
Ralts hasn't finished its developmental stage yet, so it's not suitable for direct battle training.
Therefore, Wei Xin plans to cultivate her interest in combat and accumulate some combat experience and game awareness by playing games.
In other words, you should first learn the theory to build a foundation, and then consider practical operation.
"Ralts!" Ralts nodded and eagerly gripped the controller.
"Okay, I'll teach you how to do it. This is running, this is jumping, this is punching, this is..."
After showing Ralts all the controls and handing her the move list, Wei Xin said.
"Now, you can try controlling the character yourself, starting with the newbie mode."
After saying that, Wei Xin got up and let Ralts operate the computer by herself. He then walked to the computer and started typing away on the keyboard.
After a while, his phone rang. Wei Xin took out his phone, and the screen showed Professor Li Yunyi.
Wei Xin answered the phone, and could hear the sounds of water, wind, and shouts coming from the other end.
"Have you retrieved everything? If not, let's work harder tonight and try to get back before dawn."
The professor and his crew are salvaging something at sea? Surely they're not going to pull out a box, open it, and have a glamorous, blond, muscular Egyptian jump out, are they?
"Professor, good evening. I just finished dinner. Is there anything I can do for you?" Wei Xin skipped the pleasantries and got straight to the point.
"Go to the research center before nine o'clock tomorrow morning, and go find your senior sister Huang when you get there." After saying that, the professor hung up the phone.
He was a decisive and efficient old man.
We're running low on milk at home, so I'll go to the research center tomorrow and get some.
Before long, Mary, having finished preparing the dishes, put on her school uniform, picked up Morubek, and quietly walked behind Wei Xin.
"I've already cleaned up the dishes. I just saw a broken cup in your trash can. Did Morubek break it?"
"It was just a minor, insignificant accident," Wei Xin said, turning his head. "Are you taking Morubek back with you?"
"Yes," Mary nodded, "thank you for your hospitality tonight, the dinner was very good."
If I could, I'd like to eat it again, but wouldn't it make me seem shameless to say something like that to a classmate I've only known for less than a day?
"Hmm, I'll just buy a cookbook and cook myself. He can cook a great meal, so why can't I, Mary, do it too? I'll buy a pressure cooker on the way back."
"If you have time, Marie, you can bring Morpeko to visit again," Wei Xin said, turning to look at Ralts, who had just finished playing the beginner mode and was now trying to conquer the normal mode. "Ralts also needs to make some extra friends."
"How about we exchange contact information?" Wei Xin pushed his phone in front of Mary. "You can let me know before you come over, in case I'm not home."
"Of course," Mary said happily, and couldn't wait to exchange contact information with Wei Xin.
[We've exchanged contact information, so we must be friends. My first friend from Donghuang.]
It's so heavy, being a first friend is so heavy.
She's a pretty girl, so why can't she make any friends?
Because the language of Donghuang is not good?
Mary has communication difficulties, and what about Wei Xin's family's dinner tonight?
Will I also be required to work as a foreign language teacher in the future?
Miss Officer Jenny, let me explain. We really are learning a foreign language!
I need to share this with my brother when I get back... I'll talk about it next time.
Miss Mary, why did you hide it from your brother?
Mr. Nie Zi, please let me explain. Your sister and I are completely innocent. Nothing happened between us!
After waving goodbye, Mary gently closed the door to Wei Xin's house.
After finishing the first chapter and clicking save three times in a row, Wei Xin finally closed the software with peace of mind. He looked down at the time in the lower left corner of the computer screen; it was already 10 p.m.
For college students who consider going to bed at 1 a.m. to be healthy, isn't going to bed at 10 p.m. too early? Wei Xin wasn't sleepy at this moment. He closed his laptop, turned his head, and his gaze fell on Ralts, who was focused on navigating the game.
The game's difficulty remains at "normal," indicating that it has hit a bottleneck. Moreover, due to the losing streak, Ralts' mentality has also become problematic, and her button-tapping actions have become somewhat rough.
Why aren't you dying? Why can't I land my combos? Why do my skills miss? Why are his skills guaranteed to hit and have no cooldown?
Just as Ralts's Infernape health bar was about to run out, Wei Xin walked behind her, reached out one hand, grasped the handle in Ralts's hand, and pressed the button with his other hand.
"No rush, I'll teach you how to do it."
"Ralts!" Ralts raised her neck and looked up at her trainer. Being held in Wei Xin's arms, a sense of security welled up inside her, and Ralts' emotions, which were about to lose control, gradually stabilized.
"Next time you encounter a problem, don't just rush in blindly. You can stop and think and try first," Wei Xin said while guiding Ralts through the controls.
With their combined efforts, the Infernape in the video successfully pulled off a comeback from near-death.
"Ralts!" Ralts, having shared the fruits of victory with her trainer, happily raised her hands and hugged her trainer's neck tightly.
Then I eagerly gripped the controller, waiting to play another round.
"Okay, would you rather stay up all night playing games and get pimples by yourself, or let me carry you back to your room, tell you a funny story, and then go to sleep peacefully?"
Ralts glanced at the game that had ended, then turned to look at the smiling trainer. After a second of hesitation, she opened her arms.
I want a hug!
