Gazing at the Turtwig in his arms, it lay quietly nestled against his elbow, as if even in its dreams it was immersed in the embrace of nature. Watching its serene expression, Wen Qi’s thoughts drifted far away, recalling that he still possessed a mysterious little world. This little world was a treasure gifted to him by the system. Previously, without a Pokémon companion by his side, this world had remained inaccessible. But now, with Turtwig’s company, Wen Qi was delighted to discover that the door to this little world had finally opened for him.
This little world held a wondrous power: it could generate the most suitable living environment based on the Pokémon Wen Qi owned. If he placed Turtwig inside, it would surely thrive and bloom with even more vibrant brilliance on this land. So, Wen Qi gently lifted the sleeping Turtwig and stepped into the entrance of the little world. A dazzling flash of light swept over him, and he arrived in this fantastical place. All around, lush greenery stretched out, birds sang, and flowers bloomed—a scene brimming with vitality. This must be the ideal habitat the system had tailored for Turtwig based on its traits.
Wen Qi carefully set Turtwig down. It seemed to sense the essence of this land, slowly opening its eyes. It curiously surveyed its surroundings, then excitedly began to run across the grass. Wen Qi could feel its joy and felt gratified that he could create such a wonderful environment for it. After frolicking happily on the grass for a while, Turtwig returned to Wen Qi’s side. After all, it had just been born, still weak and in need of more rest and care. It snuggled up to Wen Qi, as if telling him that this was the safest and warmest place. Looking at it, Wen Qi’s heart swelled with deep affection for Turtwig.
Through the system’s introduction, Wen Qi learned that this space was perfectly suited for Grass-type Pokémon to live in. Here, Turtwig could shorten its infancy period and grow better. Moreover, the Grass-type energy within the space would provide it with powerful support. Wen Qi couldn’t help but marvel at how magical this little world truly was. Gazing at its vast expanse, a surge of impulse rose within him. He wanted to plant some berries and medicinal herbs on this land, which would not only provide Turtwig with more food and nutrition but also save him points. Although purchasing these berries and herbs would cost some points, growing them himself was clearly more economical.
So, Wen Qi opened the shop, which he rarely browsed. He noticed that many items in the shop were either beyond his means—like the cyan-quality enhancement potion worth 50,000 points or the blessings of mythical beasts priced at over 100,000 points. Seeing these expensive items, Wen Qi could only shake his head helplessly. However, there were also some affordable items for him, such as the berry planting bundle and the medicinal herb seed bundle, each costing only 5,000 points. Without hesitation, Wen Qi bought both bundles, planning to cultivate his own orchard and herb garden in the little world.
Watching his points instantly drop by 10,000, Wen Qi felt a twinge of pain, but thinking of the future harvest of fruits and herbs from this land, he deemed it all worthwhile. Following his plan, he planted the berry and herb seeds one by one into the soil. To his surprise, he discovered that this little world had the ability to accelerate the growth of these plants. He estimated that in two or three months, the berries would ripen, and the herbs would grow rapidly. Seeing this vibrant little world, Wen Qi’s mood became incredibly excited. He felt that possessing this space was like owning an all-powerful treasure trove. Whether facing danger or traveling, he could rely on this little world to ensure his safety. At this thought, a wave of joy washed over him.
However, when Wen Qi expressed to the system his idea of hiding in the little world during battles, the system flatly rejected it. The system explained that during combat, energy would leak out, disrupting the environment needed to open the space. Therefore, entering the little world during a fight was impossible. It could only be safely accessed when it was secure and no battle was occurring. Hearing this, Wen Qi felt a bit disappointed but understood it was for his own safety. He abandoned that impractical notion and refocused his attention on the little world and Turtwig’s upbringing.
Although Wen Qi was already an advanced breeder, he decided to follow the system’s breeding method for Turtwig. After all, the system’s approach was bound to be the most suitable for it. So, he spent 100 points to purchase Turtwig’s breeding guide and another 1,000 points for Grotle’s guide. As for the later Torterra guide, he planned to buy it after Turtwig evolved—there was no rush. Though it would cost 5,000 points, Wen Qi felt it was worth spending to raise Turtwig properly.
In this beautiful little world, Wen Qi felt an unparalleled sense of comfort and tranquility. He wished he could stay there forever, but reality reminded him of many tasks still to handle. Reluctantly, he left the little world and returned to the real one. After coming out, Wen Qi began preparing dinner. While cooking, he thought about the next day’s plans. He intended to take Turtwig to the Pokémon Center for a check-up. Though he knew Turtwig was healthy, he wanted a professional opinion. Additionally, he needed to register his Pokémon at the Pokémon Association. While this world didn’t limit the number of Pokémon one could carry, some competitions had age restrictions for Pokémon. Thus, timely registration and understanding of the relevant rules were necessary.
After dinner, Wen Qi sat by the window, quietly contemplating the future. He thought about how to help Turtwig grow better and how to carve out his own path in this world. Though the road ahead was full of unknowns and challenges, he believed that with relentless pursuit of his dreams and goals, success would follow. As night deepened, Wen Qi lay in bed and gradually drifted into sleep. In his dreams, he saw Turtwig happily running in the little world and himself creating one miracle after another on this magical land. He knew it was all real—the fruit of his efforts. He would keep striving for the future of himself and Turtwig.
Though he didn’t plan to attend university, who could predict if he might one day impulsively join some competitions to train his Pokémon? Thus, registering seemed particularly necessary. At the same time, Wen Qi harbored a dream of returning to the countryside to run a farm. For the various supplies needed on the farm, he knew he had to go to the market to pick and purchase them himself. After all, the farm had been abandoned for two years, and he hadn’t set foot there, knowing nothing about its current state. But no matter what, rebuilding the farm would require buying a lot of items, and these trivial matters all needed handling. Thinking of this, a sense of inexplicable busyness welled up inside him. Weren’t things supposed to be leisurely after graduation? Why had it suddenly become so hectic?
Yet, when he thought of the wonderful life that might lie ahead, his heart eased. Carrying endless fantasies and hopes for the future, he slowly sank into slumber, eagerly awaiting the arrival of tomorrow.
