Just Like That Meow: "That's possible, but Meowth doesn't have that much money, meow."
Turning Da Gu Into Soup: "I can buy one myself. I can just convert it into an equivalent amount of gold, right?"
Just Like That Meow: "That works, meow. Even if the worlds are different, gold is still very valuable, meow."
Be My Son: "Gurararara, I'll join in too."
Be My Son: "For creatures like Pokémon that combine strength, personality, and potential, I'm quite interested."
Dongfang Bubai: "I'm not lacking money either."
The Worst Spirit: "If it's just money, it's very easy to obtain."
Child of Nature: "Same here."
Ordinary Group Leader: "Yeah, yeah… no one in this chat group is actually poor, right? (guilty)"
Just Like That Meow: "Alright then, what do you all want?"
Turning Da Gu Into Soup: "I want Growlithe."
Although Growlithe was still quite extraordinary, compared to other Pokémon it was closer to a normal pet.
Even though his world was far from normal—with monsters everywhere—for now, Growlithe felt like the safest choice.
The Worst Spirit: "Pikachu."
The Worst Spirit: "After all, it's the first Pokémon the protagonist meets, and it's really adorable."
Dongfang Bubai: "So this is what you call Pokémon? It really is quite cute."
Dongfang Bubai: "Then I'll take Pikachu as well."
Be My Son: "Gurararara, I don't care about the type. Something like Rhyhorn or Machop will do."
Just Like That Meow: "What strange preferences, meow."
Just Like That Meow: "Got it. @Child of Nature, @Golden Flash, @Uchiha Dance King, @Ordinary Group Leader—what about you?"
Uchiha Dance King: "…"
Uchiha Dance King: "Do you think I even need to buy one?"
He was already dead! Even if he bought one, how would he receive it?
Alive before delivery, dead after arrival?
Golden Flash: "Hahaha, I'll go with Growlithe too. It can help protect Naruto."
After all, ninja dogs already existed in his world, so Growlithe wouldn't seem out of place. Other Pokémon would attract too much attention.
Ordinary Group Leader: "As for me… of course it's—"
Child of Nature: "Ralts!"
Ordinary Group Leader: "???"
Ordinary Group Leader: "You stole my line!"
Child of Nature: "Not at all. I was just stating the Pokémon I want."
Child of Nature: "No one can resist Pokémon—and absolutely no one can resist Ralts."
Ordinary Group Leader: "Ralts is forever the GOAT!"
Ordinary Group Leader: "By the way, I want a female one."
Child of Nature: "Same."
Just Like That Meow: "Just so you know, there's no guarantee, meow."
Just Like That Meow: "Especially Ralts—it's very rare, meow."
Child of Nature: "I know."
Ordinary Group Leader: "Got it."

Before they knew it, a week had passed since joining the Spiritual Energy Bureau and moving into the villa.
Bai Xuan's classmates had contacted him, asking how they could skip school while still graduating or even getting into university.
His answer was simple: either get specially recruited, or join the authorities.
The former was impossible for them.
The latter required abilities that they simply didn't have.
Reality was harsh.
All they could do was stare at Bai Xuan's empty seat in the classroom and dream that one day they could live just as freely.
---
As for Bai Xuan, he didn't feel his life this week was any easier than school.
He had simply replaced study time with training. In fact, because he had found the correct method of cultivation, it was even more exhausting.
After demonstrating his oxygen control ability to Huoyu, he suddenly realized something—gravity was also a natural force he could control.
So, he tried applying gravity to his own body to increase training intensity.
The result? Outstanding.
Workouts that once felt effortless became exhausting again, just like at the beginning. It was tough—but incredibly effective.
His physical strength and abilities were improving far faster than before.
As for how strong he was with his [Authority of Nature], it was hard to measure precisely.
But his physical body? That was easy to test.
---
Right now, Bai Xuan was casually playing with a Type 92 pistol in his hand.
Then he pointed it at his palm—
Bang!
The bullet shot out like lightning, about to pierce through his hand—
—but in the next instant, he casually caught it.
He opened his hand. Smooth, jade-like skin. Not a single scratch.
And this was without using any abilities. Pure physical strength alone.
---
The meaning of this was completely different.
Even though the Type 92 pistol wasn't among the most powerful handguns, firearms were still not something the human body could normally resist.
Bai Xuan even wanted to test stronger guns—like the Desert Eagle, the M500 revolver, or the Glock 17.
But that was just wishful thinking. Huoyu would never give him access to those.
---
"So… is my body strong enough to resist bullets now…"
"Or was it already like this a week ago—and I just never tested it?"
"Should I try a tank next? Feels like it might actually work…"
He muttered dangerously reckless thoughts to himself.
---
At that moment, his expression changed slightly.
He felt… hostility.
Following the gaze, he saw a well-built man staring at him coldly, making no effort to hide his malice—even after being noticed.
"New member of the Spiritual Energy Bureau? Or someone from another department?"
Bai Xuan raised an eyebrow, intrigued.
He had already met Su Yue, Chen Qiang, and Ye Shuirou. This man wasn't any of them.
Which meant—
"Unprovoked hostility… really annoying."
---
On the other side, Li Feng stared at Bai Xuan with a dark expression, jealousy evident in his eyes.
"Other than his good looks, he has no advantages at all."
"I really don't understand what Huoyu sees in this kid."
