Chapter 3 Beyond Expectations

After finally recovering his fire energy, Lin Chuan didn't want to release it casually this time, as that would take a long time to recover.

Although he is extremely reluctant to fight, Lin Chuan would be happy to do so if it is an easy crushing battle. This depends on the release of the spark moves.

Grass and Bug types are afraid of Fire-type Pokémon. This is because Fire-type moves can cause great damage to these Pokémon. If they are even slightly touched, they may be injured, and if they are hit head-on, they may immediately lose their combat effectiveness.

According to the battle scores he saw yesterday, Lin Chuan concluded that the less damage he suffered and the more damage his opponent suffered, the more combat value he would gain in the end.

At the same time, if the opponent is better than him in other aspects, there will be additional rewards. On the contrary, if the opponent's ability data is weaker than his own, points will be deducted.

The combat system obviously wants him to fight against opponents of higher levels, defeating the strong with the weak. The greater the gap between the two in all aspects, the greater the benefits Lin Chuan will gain after winning.

In this way, as long as Lin Chuan can kill the Pokémon in one move and win without taking any damage, he will gain the greatest benefit. The restraining effect of the Spark move on the Grass and Bug types is Lin Chuan's only chance.

However, the specific implementation still requires a detailed plan. At this time, the sun no longer shines on this piece of grass. Lin Chuan stands up and prepares to look for the target first.

First of all, the target cannot be too strong, otherwise if Lin Chuan cannot defeat him, he might end up with nothing and get injured in vain.

The target must be restrained by Fire. There are only Bug and Grass types in this forest, so other attributes don't need to be considered.

Lin Chuan plans to choose a Grass-type Pokémon. Most Bug-type Pokémon are too weak, and their battle scores won't be very high even if they win. Even though their strength increases after evolution, they can't guarantee a quick resolution to the battle, so they don't meet Lin Chuan's requirements.

However, there are many weak Grass-type Pokémon with high racial values, and they are also restrained by Fire-type Pokémon, making them just the right opponents.

According to the scoring rewards of the battle system, it seems that the final score and reward are determined by level, race, ability value and output.

The level can be ignored. Lin Chuan cannot see the level of the elf. He only knows that he should be level five at present. As for the race, Lin Chuan guessed that it should be related to the race value. This is something to pay attention to.

The ability value is related to the racial value and level. At least that's what Lin Chuan knows, and other possibilities are not ruled out.

For the final output score, Lin Chuan's spark is the key. Whether he can get a better score and more combat value depends on whether Lin Chuan can use the spark moves to defeat the target at one time and cause the greatest output.

There are quite a few Pokémon that can be considered opponents in this forest, such as Grasshopper, Acornfruit, Mushroom, and Trumpetbud. These are the few Grass-type Pokémon that Lin Chuan has seen in this forest so far that meet the requirements.

However, Lin Chuan is ready to exclude Acorn and Walking Grass. First of all, the Acorn's race is too low. According to the race value in the previous life game, it is much worse than Charmander.

Although game settings are game settings after all, it is still okay to use it as a reference. Although the racial value of Walking Grass is higher than that of Charmander, it is a nocturnal Pokémon. During the day, it will take root in the soil, with only the grass leaves above its head exposed. It is almost no different from ordinary flowers and plants. It is difficult to find and will waste a lot of time.

It was time to go to bed at night, and it was pitch dark outside, so he couldn't go out, so he gave up.

In the end, only mushrooms and trumpet sprouts were left. After using the comparative method, Lin Chuan decided to set his target as trumpet sprouts.

First of all, judging from the racial values, the two Pokémon are similar, with Trumpet-Sprout being a little higher, but Trumpet-Sprout's defense is relatively weak, while Shroom's defense is better than Trumpet-Sprout's.

From this point of view, it is obvious that Trumpet Sprout is more suitable as Lin Chuan's target. Trumpet Sprout is a typical Pokémon with high attack and low defense, and its speed is not fast.

The most crucial thing is that although Mushroom is not a poisonous Pokémon, it may release spores containing various negative effects. If it enters an abnormal state at that time, it is easy for something unexpected to happen. Lin Chuan dare not gamble.

Therefore, the trumpet bud is the most reliable target, and its appearance is easy to identify. It often takes root in the soil, disguised as a flower, attracts insects, and then hunts insects with flexible vines.

I hope I can find the trumpet sprouts today so that I can know the results in the evening, Lin Chuan thought to himself.

According to speculation, the battle score should only be displayed after falling asleep. If you miss it today, you will only know the result tomorrow night.

So Lin Chuan decided to look for Trumpet Sprout first. Usually they hide in the grass and are a very common Grass-type Pokémon.

Lin Chuan didn't go too far away. The farther he went, the higher the chance of encountering powerful elves. Once he encountered such a warlike elf, Lin Chuan would not be sure of fighting against it.

After walking around the area, Lin Chuan was lucky enough to not only find Trumpetbud, but also a lot of other Grass-type Pokémon. Unfortunately, none of them were as suitable as Trumpetbud.

Moreover, the spark skill can only be released once. Now that the target has been determined, there is no need to change the plan and add variables.

Lin Chuan wanted to end the battle early, eat and drink, and then go back to sleep.

Now that the target has been determined, Lin Chuan is ready to start planning. He has already thought about it. While the trumpet sprout is not paying attention, he will directly launch an attack. According to the restraining effect of the fire-type spark moves on the grass-type, there is a high probability that the trumpet sprout will lose its combat effectiveness directly.

Even if he still has some strength left, he should have been seriously injured, so just one more blow will be enough. Even if Trumpet Sprout counterattacks and uses Grass-type moves against him, it will be half the effort with twice the results, because he is a Fire-type.

Therefore, in this battle, Lin Chuan's victory is basically certain, and the worst result is to suffer minor injuries.

Secretly coming to the place where the trumpet bud was found before, Lin Chuan secretly observed the trumpet bud that was disguised as ordinary flowers and plants. Its trumpet-like head could not be covered and it was easy to identify.

And there were no other similar plants around, so it was obvious that it had no companions nearby, which allowed Lin Chuan to act without any scruples.

After slowly approaching the trumpet bud, Lin Chuan prepared to release the spark move and silently counted down in his heart.

3…2…1!

Lin Chuan rushed towards the hornet's nest quickly. He swore that this was definitely the first time he ran at such a fast speed, and this was also to prevent the plan from failing.

Lin Chuan's sudden attack also played a key role. The reaction of the trumpet bud was unexpectedly fast, and it immediately discovered Lin Chuan. However, because it was rooted in the soil and Lin Chuan approached the trumpet bud quickly, it had no time to move and dodge.

However, Trumpet Sprout immediately counterattacked. A green vine whip suddenly extended from its body and lashed towards Lin Chuan quickly.

Lin Chuan was a little surprised, and had a feeling that this trumpet bud might be stronger than expected, but it probably wouldn't be much stronger.

Lin Chuan ignored the vine whip of Trumpet Bud to avoid affecting the release of Spark's moves. Spark only had one chance and must hit Trumpet Bud, otherwise even if he won the battle, he might not get a high score.

Lin Chuan opened his mouth towards the trumpet bud that had no time to move. The fire energy condensed in his throat and then burst out, heading straight for the trumpet bud.

A small ball of flame shot out. Although it was not fast, it was enough to hit the trumpet bud that had no time to dodge. At this moment, the vines of the trumpet bud slashed towards Lin Chuan's body at an angle.

Snapped!

The whip was hit hard, making a crisp sound. This move was far beyond Lin Chuan's expectations. You know, fire elves have a certain resistance to grass-type moves. Even so, Lin Chuan still felt that half of his body was almost numb, followed by a burning pain, and his body hit the tree next to him directly.

It is obvious that the level of this trumpet bud has far exceeded Lin Chuan's, and it has abilities far exceeding Lin Chuan's.

This also means that the Spark move may not be able to kill the trumpet sprout instantly, and Lin Chuan must be prepared for a fight. Even with the Vine Whip move just now, Lin Chuan is not sure if he can withstand it a second time.

This move of the vine whip made Lin Chuan feel a burning pain. Compared with the damage caused by the pecking move of the Fierce Bird, Lin Chuan's physical strength was definitely consumed a lot.

Fortunately, the spark successfully hit the trumpet bud, and Lin Chuan felt that he still had the strength to fight, otherwise he could only run away.

The high-temperature flames hit the body of the trumpet bud, scattering into sparks, burning the leaves and rhizomes of the trumpet bud bit by bit.

When the Grass-type Trumpet Sprout encountered a Fire-type move, it was immediately severely damaged and screamed in pain. The green leaves on its body were even burned by sparks, leaving sporadic black spots.

Lin Chuan didn’t know how much damage the sparks caused, but judging from the reaction of the trumpet bud, it was definitely seriously injured.

Lin Chuan rushed forward decisively, ready to finish off the enemy. He couldn't retreat at this time, otherwise he would waste so much energy and accomplish nothing. He might as well go home and sleep.

Trumpet Sprout was very angry. This little fire dragon attacked it for no reason. It extended its whip again and lashed the little fire dragon in front of it fiercely. However, the severe pain in its body greatly affected its strength in lashing out with the whip.

Snapped!

The whip hit Lin Chuan, but Lin Chuan clearly felt that the power of the whip was much smaller than the previous one.

The previous one was really painful, like being whipped by a red-hot iron rod, but this time it was at most like being hit hard by a wooden stick.

Lin Chuan had some vague guesses, but this was not the time to think about it, as his claws had already reached out to grab the trumpet buds.

At this time, the trumpet bud had already broken free from the soil, and its flexibility was also demonstrated. Because its body was very small, if Lin Chuan had not aimed at the head of the trumpet bud, this grab might have missed.

After Lin Chuan's attack hit, although the trumpet bud was knocked to the ground, it did not lose its fighting power and quickly stood up. It was obvious that its physical strength was very high.

Lin Chuan didn't dare to attack rashly at this time. Instead, he began to dodge with the help of trees. He was not afraid that Laba Ya would escape. Looking at the opponent's two bean-sized eyes that seemed to be on fire, it was obvious that Lin Chuan wanted to give up, but Laba Ya would not agree.

Although Lin Chuan is lazy, he is definitely not stupid. This battle was beyond his expectations, but his plan was not wrong. Fortune and wealth are sought in danger. If he can defeat this high-level trumpet bud, the benefits will be even higher than previously expected.

Snapped!

Although the trumpet bud's vine whip was fast, Lin Chuan dodged with all his might and, with the help of the trees as cover, successfully avoided it, and the vine whip only hit the tree trunk.

However, Lin Chuan still had lingering fears. He already felt a little weak. It was obvious that the damage caused by the previous two moves of the vine whip was very high.

I can't bear the third blow of the whip.

Taking advantage of the fact that Trumpet Bud's vine whip missed, Lin Chuan distanced himself again. He was still unable to attack.

At this time, the trumpet bud's attack rhythm was very fast, and the vine whip was almost twitching non-stop. If he rushed forward at this time, even if he hit the trumpet bud, as long as the trumpet bud did not lose its combat effectiveness, Lin Chuan would be in danger.

Huh!

Lin Chuan suddenly discovered that there were more and more black spots on the trumpet buds, which were obviously the traces left by the sparks just now.

As the black spots spread, the trumpet bud seemed to be in pain, and even the swinging speed of the vine whip slowed down.

Lin Chuan planned to delay time, and while he still had some strength, he started playing "hide and seek" with the trumpet bud, but he did not take the initiative to attack, because he was not sure whether the trumpet bud could withstand his claw attack.

Not long after, Laba Ya stopped swinging the whip, had the idea of retreating, and actually turned around to run away. Lin Chuan knew that Laba Ya could not hold on any longer, so he could not let it run away at this time, and chased after it immediately.

The trumpet bud was seriously injured, and the black spots almost spread to the rhizome. The pain affected the trumpet bud's movement speed, and Lin Chuan easily caught up with it.

At this time, the opponent had no strength to fight. Lin Chuan easily clawed down, and it was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. The trumpet bud fell to the ground weakly, losing its combat effectiveness.

After the battle, Lin Chuan did not stay for long and hurried back to his own territory. He was very weak now and any caterpillar could defeat him.

After returning to the safe cave and taking a nap, Lin Chuan recovered a little. He couldn't wait to pick two peach fruits. He felt that only two peach fruits could fill his hungry stomach.

As night fell, Lin Chuan was already lying in the cave to rest. It had to be said that Laba Ya's strength was beyond his expectations and he almost capsized in the ditch. Fortunately, he was smart enough and finally defeated the opponent by surpassing his level.

Lin Xing secretly made up his mind that he must carefully choose a target with weaknesses next time. He didn't want to be so tired again. This battle felt like it took half his life.

As night fell, Lin Chuan gradually fell into a sweet dream. At midnight, his consciousness suddenly became clear and he came to that white space again.

Lin Chuan immediately looked at the data panel in front of him, and sure enough, it was no longer the data panel of yesterday's battle, but the data panel of today's battle.
