Lin Fan looked at his empty wallet, his eyes gleaming green.
He quickly recalled all the ways he could make money, but he quickly dismissed every idea.
Although he could earn a large bonus by publishing his familiar Pokémon knowledge as a thesis, the problem was that he couldn't explain how he acquired this knowledge.
Compared to making money, he was more afraid of being dissected or being hypnotized and interrogated by Pokémon like Hypno.
"The Researcher path is temporarily blocked, so what about a Breeder?"
Lin Fan rubbed his temples, a flash of inspiration suddenly crossing his mind.
He seemed to know a Breeder!
"I remember Sun Ge gave me his business card..."
Lin Fan rummaged through his pockets and found a plain business card with the contact information of Sun Qi, whom he had met at the Breeding Center earlier.
"By the way, if Sun Ge saw Weedle now, he would be very surprised, wouldn't he?"
Glancing at Weedle, who was lying on the ground basking in the sun, contentedly, Lin Fan's lips involuntarily curved into a smile, as if he could already see Sun Qi's dumbfounded expression.
"I'll contact Sun Ge tonight. If I have time, I'll pay him a visit and ask him what preparations are needed to become a Breeder."
After making his decision, Lin Fan clenched his fists and found that in just half an hour, his stamina had been fully replenished, and Weedle's energy was almost overflowing.
After a brief moment of contemplation, Lin Fan considered whether to change the afternoon's training plan to training String Shot, attempting to enhance the toughness and elasticity of the Silk Thread.
After all, the String Shot skill is very likely closely related to Weedle's evolution, and Lin Fan attaches great importance to it.
After a moment of hesitation, he eventually shook his head and gave up on the idea.
String Shot is a very special Bug-type skill. Its prerequisite is that the Pokémon itself can produce Silk Thread, and then cover it with Bug-type energy and shoot it out, causing a slowing effect on enemies.
In other words, the toughness and elasticity of the Silk Thread are not greatly related to Bug-type energy. If he wanted to improve it, Lin Fan preferred to adjust its diet, similar to how humans supplement calcium.
"I'll ask Sun Ge about it then."
Lin Fan stood up, looked at Weedle, and grinned.
"Since we've fully recovered, the rest time should be over. Guys like us should cherish our time."
"Weedle!"
Weedle nodded in agreement. As long as it was Lin Fan's command, it would do its best to execute it.
"The training for the Bug Bite skill is very simple," Lin Fan said, looking at the plan he wrote yesterday. "First, you need to train your biting force, and second, you need to try to cover your mouth with Bug-type energy, just like when you use String Shot, and bite down hard."
"Weedle~"
Sounds simple enough~
Weedle confidently held its head high, and the next second, it heard Lin Fan's training plan.
"So the first step is to bite down that tree."
Following Lin Fan's finger, Weedle took two steps back in disbelief.
Are you saying, you want me, a Weedle, to bite down that half-meter-diameter tree?!
Lin Fan pouted: "The Chesto Berry from yesterday was no less hard than a tree trunk, and you were still able to chew it normally, weren't you?"
Seeing its acting exposed, Weedle wasn't embarrassed. It shook its head, launched itself onto the tree trunk, and bit down without hesitation.
Crack--
A crisp sound rang out. Weedle tore off a small piece of bark and chewed it in its mouth.
"Hey, stop, stop, stop." Lin Fan helplessly stopped Weedle, feeling a bit of a headache. "We're practicing the Bug Bite skill, not swallowing. We just need to practice the process of opening your mouth and biting, to train your jaw muscles. You don't need to eat it."
"Weedle~"
Why didn't you say so sooner~
Weedle disdainfully spat out the bark in its mouth, took a moment to prepare, and continued to diligently chew on the bark.
"Try to open your mouth as wide as possible. With enough space to build up momentum, your biting force can reach its maximum, and the Bug Bite skill you use will be more powerful."
Lin Fan briefly guided Weedle's training, and he also started doing push-ups on the spot.
As Pokémon's strength increased, the pace of battles became faster and faster. If he, as a Trainer, didn't have a good physique, he wouldn't even be able to clearly see the opponent's Pokémon's movements, let alone command his own Pokémon to fight.
It has to be said that prolonged biting of tree trunks is a very tiring activity. Although Weedle could chew on tree trunks and Chesto Berries, prolonged continuous activity still made its mouth sore, and the extent to which its mouth opened also became smaller.
But looking at Lin Fan, who was beginning to pant but was still trying his best to keep every movement standard, Weedle silently slowed down its pace, replaced by a more serious feeling of each time its mouth opened and bit down.
It didn't want to disappoint Lin Fan.
The sun in the sky gradually set, and two hours passed in a flash.
Lin Fan looked at Weedle, who was still persisting. The half-meter-thick tree trunk had been bitten in half, and Weedle's cheeks showed signs of swelling.
"Let's take a break."
Lin Fan calmed his breathing, feeling the soreness in his limbs, and called a halt to Weedle.
Hearing Lin Fan's words, the latter finally stopped chewing. The prolonged facial activity made its head feel a little dizzy. It jumped down groggily and walked unsteadily towards Lin Fan.
Seeing Weedle walking more and more crookedly, Lin Fan helplessly took out a peach fruit. The familiar scent wafted, immediately making Weedle find its direction and wriggle straight to Lin Fan's side.
Unfortunately, due to excessive use of its mouth, Weedle was almost unable to open its mouth at this time, let alone enjoy the delicious food.
Lin Fan looked at Weedle, somewhat amused, but accidentally twisted his arm, and a sudden indescribable sensation of soreness shot straight to his head, making him gasp.
Weedle beside him was still trying hard to open its mouth and bite the peach fruit, but the Insect Plate also needed time to take effect, so Weedle wouldn't be able to eat this peach fruit for a while.
"If you knew Bug Bite, maybe you could eat it, because one of the effects of Bug Bite is that it can eat Berries." Lin Fan carefully moved his arms while grinning and teasing Weedle, "Unfortunately, learning a new skill is not a simple matter. A brand new way of energy operation and application cannot be mastered in two hours. If your talent is not good, you might not master it in one or two weeks."
Hearing this, Weedle was struck by lightning.
Doesn't that mean that if it can't learn Bug Bite in a short time, every time it trains like this in the future, it won't be able to eat the delicious peach fruit immediately?!
Absolutely not!!!
Weedle's eyes widened, all its muscles tensed, even its tail unconsciously Warp, trying its best to open its mouth, just to take a bite of the peach fruit.
Under the temptation of the peach fruit, a sudden inexplicable force emerged, driving it to forcefully open its mouth and bite off half of the peach fruit in one go.
Lin Fan instantly sat up straight, his eyes wide, his face full of incredible expression.
"Eh?!"
