"Boom!"

A huge amount of information instantly flowed into Alex Carter's mind, and his physical talents changed dramatically, making him feel reborn!

"Super Psychic Talent, Cultivation Master!"

[Cultivation Master: Greatly improves the cultivation speed, giving combat pets a chance to comprehend super-level skills, and a chance to break through racial restrictions and surpass evolution! Additional skills: Bond, Voice of the Heart.]

[Bond: Form a bond with your battle pet, allowing you to communicate with each other and sense each other.]

[Voice of the Heart: Can sense the voice of the pet's heart, making it easy to get close to the pet.]

[Ding! You won a special prize in the first lottery and unlocked a rare title: Super Lucky Star! When you wear this title, your luck increases by 1.]

[Do you want to wear the rare title "Super Lucky Star"?]

"Wear it."

Alex opened his property panel. On the left was a chibi version of himself, with a shining golden star on top of his head!

On the right were his various attributes.

[Shop owner: Alex Carter]

[Part-time job: None]

[Title: Super Lucky Star (Luck +1)]

[Psionic Talent: Cultivation Master (Special Grade)]

[Psychic Level: Level 1 (1/10)]

[Skills: Bond, Voice of the Heart]

[Contracted Battle Pet: None]

"I have finally awakened my psychic talent and am qualified to be a contracted battle pet owner!"

Alex could not hide his excitement. The last bit of regret after traveling through time and space and being reborn was resolved at this moment!

"Special Talent: Cultivation Master! Rare Title: Super Lucky Star! System, can I quit my job as a shop owner? I want to be a battle pet trainer!"

[system:...]

"Okay, I'm kidding."

Alex carefully read the system instructions.

"Although the talent of the Cultivation Master is not directly helpful in combat, it is indeed a special talent in terms of cultivation. It gives the battle pet a chance to comprehend super-level skills, and a chance to break through racial restrictions and surpass evolution! These are abilities that can create miracles!"

"There is also the title of Super Lucky Star. Although Luck +1 doesn't seem to mean much, it is an ability that can break the balance!"

"Perhaps the only difference between the lucky and the unlucky is this bit of luck!"

"But this psychic talent is just a gift for opening a shop. It will be hard to have such an opportunity again in the future."

"The real core of this hyper-dimensional pet system should be daily tasks."

"Just like in games, only by constantly completing daily tasks can you unlock more functions, props, pets, and dimensional worlds... More functions, props, and pets can attract more customers and improve customer satisfaction, so as to expand the pet shop and raise more pets!"

Alex smiled and clicked on the daily task bar. Four difficulty options appeared on the screen.

[Simple: If a pet shop wants to attract people, a clean and tidy environment is essential. Please clean the pet shop before closing today.]

[Normal: Don't you think your pet shop is a bit too old? Carry out a complete renovation of the pet shop within three days.]

[Difficulty: The exterior decoration is only superficial after all. Perfect service and superb technology are the key to retaining customers. Obtain the professional qualification certificate for pet care within a week.]

[Nightmare: Don't you want to be a battle pet master? Here's your chance! Enter the dimensional world and capture a pet!]

"Puff!"

"You're just a system, why are you still creating a tsundere personality?"

Anyone who has played games knows that the more difficult the task, the better the reward after completing it.

However, if you choose a task that is beyond your ability, the result will be counterproductive.

So when choosing, do what you can.

But in fact, among these four difficult tasks, the simple task is too simple, so simple that people feel there will be no useful task rewards at all.

The normal difficulty task is to completely renovate the pet shop within three days.

Not to mention whether the efficiency of the renovation workers is that high, with Alex's current savings, he simply cannot afford the renovation costs!

As for difficult tasks, they are even more unrealistic.

Alex has always been a poor student in both his previous life and this life!

He didn't have the conditions in his previous life, and he didn't put in the effort in this life.

It is simply impossible to learn professional pet care within a week, not to mention that the assessment of professional qualification certificates has a specified time limit.

So among these four difficulty levels of tasks, normal and difficult tasks can be directly excluded, simple tasks can basically be ignored, and only nightmare difficulty tasks are left!

"The greater the risk, the greater the reward. I have the talent to be a master cultivator. Perhaps this nightmare-level mission is the most suitable for me?"

Moreover, the opportunity to capture a pet from another dimension is really too tempting!

Didn't he take over this pet shop just for the pets?

"If you are not ruthless, you can't stand firm!"

…

[Ding! Do you want to accept the nightmare mission?]

"Yes."

[The mission is officially started and can be canceled within 30 seconds.]

[Warning, the current mission is life-threatening, the system will provide corresponding assistance.]

"Pfft? Life is in danger???"

[Temporarily unlock the dimensional world: Evergreen Forest. Please capture a Pokémon within 24 hours.]

[Time ratio 24:1.]

[Available Poké Balls: 10]

[Number of possible deaths: 3.]

[30s countdown ends, transmission begins.]

A white light flashed, and Alex disappeared on the spot.

…

[Welcome to Evergreen Forest (also known as Evergreen Forest).]

[The Evergreen Forest is part of the Pokémon World. The dense trees of various kinds form a natural maze, and many people have gotten lost in it. The densely lush trees make it difficult for light to penetrate, and the entire forest seems a bit dim. Because of this, the most common Pokémon in the forest are insect-type and flying-type Pokémon. So it is best to prepare some antidotes and anti-anesthesia drugs before entering the forest.]

"The time ratio is 24:1. 24 hours in the dimensional world is equal to 1 hour in the real world."

"The mission requires you to capture a Pokémon."

"The mission location is Evergreen Forest..."

"Why is it the Evergreen Forest? Who can resist the temptation?"

Even without a systematic introduction, Alex knew this Evergreen Forest very well.

In the Pokémon world, Evergreen Forest is the standard initial forest, which is mostly populated by weak Pokémon.

In the game, you don't even need to fight; just throw the Poké Ball, and there is a high probability of catching the Pokémon directly!

Speaking of Poké Balls.

Alex opened his hand, and a small Poké Ball fell into his palm.

He pressed the button on the Poké Ball just like in the animation, and the Poké Ball quickly grew larger, just enough to be held in one hand.

"It's decided to be you!"

Alex made a gesture of throwing a Poké Ball and jumped a few times.

He was very excited.

Anyone who enters the world of their dreams will be excited.

It's hard to hold back when a childhood dream suddenly comes true.

After taking a look at the 24-hour countdown in the upper right corner of his vision, Alex decided to explore the Evergreen Forest first.

His inherent impression of the Evergreen Forest made it difficult for him to imagine that there was a danger of death here.

The 3 death chances provided by the system seem a bit redundant?

But just as the system described, the trees in the Evergreen Forest were very lush, with huge canopies blocking the sunlight and mottled shadows crisscrossing everywhere.

Once you've calmed down from the initial excitement, the sense of horror brought about by the dark environment will quietly creep up on you.

No matter where you go, the surrounding environment remains unchanged.

There were the sounds of insects chirping everywhere, but there was not even the shadow of a Pokémon to be seen.

Half an hour later, Alex felt a chill on his back and thin beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

The invisible pressure of being in the dark forest continued to erode his spirit.

"Shushushu!"

There was sudden movement in the bushes to the front right.

Alex had been looking forward to this scene, but when he actually encountered it, he was suddenly shocked.

He clenched the Poké Ball in his hand and stared at the grass.

The grass parted and a huge insect suddenly emerged!

"A Weedle!"

Alex suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

The Weedle is a larval Pokémon, about 0.3 meters tall, with a yellowish-brown body and a segmented body. The most notable feature is the horn on its head. It has seven pairs of pink abdominal legs and a pink nose-like part on its head. It has spikes on its tail. Its eyes are small and black.

Although the Weedles in the real world are not as cute as those in anime, they are just weak larvae after all.

The Evergreen Forest is mostly populated by insect- and flying-type Pokémon, such as Caterpies, Weedles, Pidgeys, and Spearows...

If he had to choose, Alex would prefer to capture a Caterpie or a Pidgey.

This is mainly due to sentimentality. Alex was deeply impressed by Butterfree, which evolved from a Caterpie, and Pidgeot, which evolved from Pidgey, the protagonist of the original work, Ash.

Therefore, the Weedle in front of him was not within his target range.

Since they are not the target, there is obviously no point in provoking them.

Alex stopped and quietly retreated.

But just as he took a step back, the Weedle, which seemed to have noticed him completely, suddenly turned its head, a gleam of light flashed in its eyes, and a black light suddenly shot out from the horn on its head!

Skill: Poison Sting!

"Puff!"

Alex's eyes went dark and he died.

…

[System prompt: Don't be afraid, you can die twice more.]

[After the host dies, a temporary safe spot will be automatically assigned for resurrection.]

After 3 seconds.

Alex's eyes lit up and he came back to life.

He touched his neck which still felt painful, and finally realized that not everyone is a Super Pallet Town resident.

In the real Pokémon world, deadly dangers are hidden everywhere!

"Is this the nightmare difficulty?"

"Two more chances to die!"

Alex took a deep breath and realized that he had underestimated the difficulty of this nightmare-like task.

The difficulty of taming a Pokémon with bare hands was much greater than he had imagined.

According to the normal procedures of the Pokémon world, if you want to tame a Pokémon, you can conquer it through fighting, or you can play the emotional card and tame it emotionally.

He had nothing left and could only choose the latter.

But if every Pokémon was like that Weedle, attacking without saying a word, he would have no chance of contacting the Pokémon at all!

Even if you have the "Voice of the Mind" skill and can sense the minds of Pokémon, it is useless if there is no opportunity for communication.

The current situation is unexpectedly serious.

"Calm down, calm down!"

"Be careful not to be arrogant! Be careful not to be impatient!"

"There is no mission without a strategy!"

"Not all Pokémon are as aggressive as the Weedle before."

"The Caterpie is weak and gentle, and is at the bottom of the food chain. It is almost non-aggressive. As long as you can interact with it peacefully, you will have a chance to gain its favor."

"In addition..."

Alex observed the surroundings carefully.

The new resurrection site is next to a stream, and since there is a stream, it means that there are probably some common water-type Pokémon here.

For example, Magikarp, Poliwag...
