Chapter 37: Capturing the Griffin! Feather of Vigor! (2/5, Requesting Data)

Seeing the griffin resist so strongly, Zhu Di couldn't help but wonder: could Luo Ge really tame it?

After all, it was common knowledge that griffins were difficult to tame; they were generally arrogant and irritable.

"Stop bumping into things. You'll eat more later; the energy expenditure must have been considerable."

Luo Ge watched the griffin silently.

A pink light materialized in his hand; this was the psychic power he possessed.

After training during this period, his psychic power had grown considerably, allowing him to sense the psychological changes of living beings.

The griffin's resistance was currently strong; he needed to calm it down first before proceeding with the capture.

"Squeak?"

The griffin tilted its head, somewhat confused about what Luo Ge was doing; immediately, it felt its inner irritability suddenly ease a bit.

At the same time, Luo Ge took out some berries and placed them in the cage; this was the "professional procedure" for catching pets.

First, soothe; second, feed; if that fails, the third step is combat capture.

The griffin was initially suspicious, staring at the pile of colorful berries, afraid to take a bite.

However, it hadn't eaten for some time and was starving, wanting to eat anything it saw.

Moreover, the intense aroma of the berries tempted it, as if tiny spirits were whispering in its ear to eat them.

Seeing the griffin begin to eat, Luo Ge felt reassured; as long as it reduced the resistance, that was enough.

"If you follow me from now on, you can eat this kind of food often. What do you think?"

While speaking, Luo Ge simultaneously took out a Great Ball.

The Great Ball had a slightly higher capture probability than the Poké Ball.

He wanted to try if he could finish it in one throw.

With a casual toss, the 【Great Ball】 struck the griffin, transforming into a beam of red light and drawing it inside.

The 【Great Ball】 shook in the cage once, twice, three times...

"Ding-dong!"

Only on the final shake did the capture-success chime sound.

It actually succeeded?

Luo Ge was somewhat surprised; he had only approached it with a try-it-out mindset and hadn't expected to finish it in one ball.

Perhaps it was because the griffin was in a 【Paralysis】 state, or perhaps due to the psychic soothing.

Or maybe the temptation of the berries?

Ultimately, this lowered the difficulty of the capture.

However, since it was captured, it was a good thing, saving even more Poké Balls.

Luo Ge took out the Great Ball and pressed it lightly; the griffin appeared outside the cage and instinctively spread its white, slender wings.

"Squeak~"

The griffin let out a low growl, causing the surrounding air to ripple, then lowered its head and rubbed against Luo Ge.

This was a gesture of goodwill, showing affection.

No matter how irritable its temper had been before, once confirmed captured by the Great Ball, its affection for Luo Ge would remain high.

The griffin had now become a pet Luo Ge could trust.

Seeing Luo Ge safely capture the griffin, Machi and Shizuku put down their suspended hearts.

After all, for the two of them who still couldn't use 【Nen】, the griffin was quite intimidating.

Zhu Di lightly covered her small mouth, her beautiful eyes flashing with wonder; Luo Ge had really captured this griffin!

Understanding the griffin was captured, and under Luo Ge's assurance, the three women tried to approach the griffin.

Meanwhile, Luo Ge took this opportunity to try activating his once-daily Nen ability.

Quickly, several pieces of information flooded into his mind.

"Obtained item 【Feather of Vigor】 x5."

"Obtained item 【Feather of Might】 x3."

"Obtained item 【Pecha Berry】 x5."

This time, although nothing powerful appeared, new items did show up.

As for the berries, there was no need to mention them; the very ordinary 【Pecha Berry】, whose effect was to cure the 【Burn】 status upon consumption.

The first two feathers, however, were rather special.

【Feather of Vigor】: After use, it can slightly enhance stamina, indirectly increasing a small amount of HP.

【Feather of Might】: After use, it can slightly enhance strength, allowing greater power to be exerted.

In the game, these were used to increase a Pokémon's base stats and had usage limits, but in reality, there were no such restrictions.

Luo Ge even planned to use them on himself.

After a brief interaction with the griffin, Luo Ge had the griffin rest in the backyard.

The Elia family's territory was vast, completely sufficient for the griffin to exercise its body, and no one would come here; this was entirely private land.

As day turned to dusk,

the magnificent sunset reflected a sea of fire clouds, casting an orange-red glow even indoors.

Indoors, a melodious tune echoed; the graceful, pleasant music interwove, falling into Luo Ge and Zhu Di's ears.

Accompanying the ups and downs of the music, Zhu Di danced elegantly, wearing a magnificent black dance costume.

The sunset's afterglow rippled a beautiful blush across her face; her golden hair was tied into a single ponytail, swaying with the rhythm.

Her exquisite features combined with a soft jawline made it obvious at a glance that Zhu Di was a beauty in the making.

Luo Ge watched silently, letting out a quiet sigh within his heart.

Perhaps fearing Luo Ge might turn on her and deny everything, Zhu Di always felt a sense of crisis, thinking of resolving things in a different way.

But unfortunately, not only was he currently focused solely on increasing his strength, he was also too young.

He did not like obtaining anything through this method either.

Soon the song ended, and Zhu Di came to Luo Ge's side, beginning to report on today's intelligence.

"According to the gathered intelligence, tonight should be the time for the Liangdahei Gang to counterattack."

"It is said they have hired powerful helpers, but the specific details are unknown."

"What can be confirmed is that the opponent is a Nen user."

After briefly skipping the dance, a strand of hair, damp with sweat, stuck to Bai Xi's neck, and Zhu Di wiped it with a towel.

Luo Ge, standing nearby, could even smell the scent of Zhu Di's shampoo, a rich floral fragrance.
