Chapter 78: Warrior, Guard, Vanguard, or Hunter?

What the hell is a Pokémon Master? Game System, you're just banking on the fact that this is another world and no one can sue you for acting out like this!

Looking at the game prompt, Yun Mu rolled her eyes in silence.

So I can still challenge things, and if I win I get a medal? Isn't this just a Gym Badge? Damn it, don't think I haven't played Pokémon, you jerk!

Although she really wanted to choose option three, considering the trashy stats of her Dabai, she gave up on it.

A level 5 Leader monster, how could it possibly challenge a level 15 Dungeon event? She would only choose option three if she were drunk.

"I can only choose one," she thought to herself.

And after she made her choice, the man sitting on the tree stump laughed softly.

"So it's a guest, welcome, welcome," he said, standing up very enthusiastically.

"Could you let me see the warrior you want to train first?" the man asked her.

"No problem."

Yun Mu nodded and summoned Dabai from the Game Panel.

"Roar!"

As soon as it landed, Dabai couldn't wait to let out a Roar.

"Whoa, that's a big guy."

The man tilted his head to observe Dabai's appearance, then reached out and poked at Dabai's body.

His expression seemed somewhat frivolous, but because his eyes were hidden by sunglasses, Yun Mu couldn't judge his specific mood.

Dabai felt a bit uncomfortable, but before it could resist, Yun Mu glared at it fiercely, signaling it to behave.

"Looks quite imposing, but the strength is a bit trashy."

The man pulled his hand back and offered his evaluation.

"Three tiers," the man said, holding up three fingers.

"What tiers?" Yun Mu was a bit confused.

"The first tier, 350 Gold Coins, I'll help you train it to level 10," the man said, holding out both hands and spreading his fingers.

After he finished speaking, he quickly pulled his hands back behind him and walked slowly to the side, saying: "The second tier, 1000 Gold Coins, level fifteen."

"And..."

The man stopped, a faint smile appearing at the corners of his mouth: "The third tier, 1800 Gold Coins, level twenty!"

"Huh, that's actually quite chea—" Yun Mu said, surprised when she heard the man's words, but she realized what she was doing halfway through.

"I mean, that's a bit expensive..."

She blinked her eyes rapidly, her two palms awkwardly tucked behind her back.

"Can't it be cheaper?" she asked softly.

【You are attempting to charm the Instructor of the Bloody Training Ground. Your personal Charm is Charming, your attire is Seductive, your technique is poor, and your trait Charming Temptation has taken effect.】

Damn it, don't pop up with these kinds of game prompts, you bastard!

"Of course I can, lovely lady," the man wearing sunglasses readily agreed. He said: "Thirty percent off, I can charge you thirty percent less."

Huh, does this count as a success?

Yun Mu lowered her head.

"Well, have you decided which tier to choose?" the man asked her.

"Hmm, let me think for a moment," she said.

If she could, she would definitely choose the most expensive tier and pull Dabai's level straight to level 20.

But even after the discount, 1800 times 0.7 was still 1260 Gold Coins.

And the Gold Coin balance in her backpack was only 1081!

Damn it, just 179 Gold Coins short!

Damn Game System, was this also within your calculations?

"I only have 1000 Gold Coins," she thought for a moment and decided to explain truthfully to the man.

"That is truly a pity," the man said with an expression of regret.

He didn't seem to have any intention of offering further discounts.

"Miss Yun..." Lucy, who was to the side, suddenly tugged at the corner of Yun Mu's clothes.

"Hmm?" Yun Mu looked at her with some confusion.

"Is something the matter?"

"Let me talk to him," Lucy said, lowering her head.

Without waiting for Yun Mu to answer, she stepped directly in front of Yun Mu and looked at the man in sunglasses: "800 Gold Coins, the highest tier of enhancement service."

Huh?

Hearing her words, Yun Mu, standing behind Lucy, was dumbfounded.

Is that how you haggle?

"You are..."

The man's eyes under his sunglasses seemed to linger on the mushroom cap on top of Lucy's head for a moment, then he shook his head decisively: "Sorry, thirty percent off is already my bottom line; any lower and I won't make a profit."

Lucy didn't seem surprised at all, and she continued: "We are going to challenge the Leader of this area."

The man's brow seemed to furrow, but he quickly returned to calm and said: "What does that have to do with me?"

"Does it really have nothing to do with you?" Lucy asked in return.

She took the Immoral Notebook out from her bosom.

"That Evil Bishop has already been defeated by us."

She paused, then added: "Everyone in this area longs to drive out the Scarlet, and I believe you are the same."

"."

"Fine, fine, you've convinced me." After a moment of silence, the man held out both hands, signaling his surrender.

"Since you've put it that way, it would be a bit excessive if I didn't help."

"How about this: one thousand Gold Coin, and I'll help you upgrade it to level twenty. How does that sound?" The man wearing sunglasses looked at Lucy and said.

Lucy did not speak, but instead turned her head to look at Yun Mu.

"Then let's do that." Seeing this, Yun Mu nodded decisively.

"Much obliged. I'll go prepare for a moment." The man smiled with satisfaction, then turned and walked toward the woods behind the playground.

This guy.

Seeing the expression on the other party's face, Yun Mu understood immediately: that man wasn't losing anything at all; one thousand Gold Coin was a profit for him too!

Forget it, there's no need to dwell on such things.

She shook her head.

One thousand Gold Coin in exchange for a level twenty fighter was a very profitable option for her as well.

However, what puzzled her was how Lucy knew how to persuade that man; did the two of them know each other before?

"I don't know him." Seeming to sense Yun Mu's thoughts, Lucy spoke up to clarify.

"That man, the eyes beneath his sunglasses have been eroded by Scarlet power, and he can no longer see anything."

"He is very strong." She added at the end.

"How strong?" Yun Mu couldn't help but ask.

"." Lucy did not reply, only looking at her silently.

Just as Yun Mu was feeling awkward about this, the other party spoke.

"Just, a little bit stronger than me." The Young Girl turned her head away somewhat awkwardly and said in a low voice.

That doesn't seem very strong then.

Yun Mu thought back to the battles and silently complained about how Lucy's health bar would drop by a huge chunk at the drop of a hat.

Of course, she knew that when Lucy said this, she meant plot strength, not her strength inside a game Dungeon.

But then again, she didn't actually know what Lucy's strength was in the Dungeon plot either.

"."

Just as Yun Mu was lost in thought, the man wearing sunglasses returned from the woods.

Looking at his appearance, it felt like nothing had changed, and he hadn't brought any special items out of the woods.

Of course, that was only on the surface.

"What are your expectations for this big guy?" After returning, the man reached out and patted Dabai's pale thigh as he asked.

"Is it a Warrior that can tank and deal damage, a guard that is Focus on protection, or a vanguard that breaks through formations?"

"Or perhaps, a Hunter lurking in the shadows?"

"Ah, the last one might be a bit difficult, it's best not to choose that." He suddenly added.

PS: Someone previously asked me why I didn't bring Dabai out.

Of course I didn't forget; after all, I brought Dabai out at the very beginning to untie the ropes.

It's just that Dabai's stats are too lackluster, so I haven't released him for the time being.

I originally wanted to explain in the plot why he wasn't brought out, but for the sake of the story's flow, I never mentioned it.

I am very sorry for this.

Hontoni sumimasen!
