Starting with Pokémon, and moving towards the pinnacle of beast control

Bai He stayed in Arceus' contract space for a while and talked a lot with Arceus.

However, Arceus was still the same as before. No matter how deep the conversation went, he would never mention anything that should be kept confidential.

Bai He tried many times but failed to get anything out of the question, so he had to give up.

Trying to get information from Arceus is harder than completing 100 tasks yourself.

Time passed slowly, and the contract space remained the same as before, with no changes.

It is still vast and deep, full of unknowns and wonders.

In this space, stars burn their life fires, illuminating the dark void around them; planets rotate quietly along their orbits, as if following some eternal and unchanging laws.

Galaxies move slowly across the vast space; their interactions and evolutions constitute the magnificent picture of the universe.

This contract space is like a real world, even more magical than the real world.

Yet, despite its magnificence, the universe is essentially silent and mysterious.

This kind of silence makes people feel a deep loneliness and tranquility.

Although the contract space seems to remain unchanged, in fact, it is undergoing changes every moment.

But it seems that silence and mystery are its eternal themes.

The sun in the Beast Taming World slowly rose, and gradually, Bai He's consciousness began to withdraw from the dream. His eyelids became heavy, as if they weighed a thousand pounds.

He turned over and tried to continue to indulge in that warm dream, but his body seemed unwilling to obey his will.

Bai He felt a wave of drowsiness coming over him, which he couldn't resist.

"Waking up is really one of the hardest things in the world." Bai He complained in a low voice. He really couldn't get up.

Finally, Bai He slowly opened his eyes. His vision was a little blurry, as if he had not yet adapted to the early morning light.

He rubbed his sleepy eyes, trying to make himself more awake.

I sat up, stretched, and felt my body gradually awakening.

Bai He woke up from the bed.

The first thing Bai He did when he woke up was to observe the Pokémon in the Beast Taming Space and the extra things in the system backpack.

There is no problem with the Beast Taming Space, and Palkia gets along well with the Pokémon. There is no cold and aloof feeling like a god.

There is one more thing in the system backpack: skill learning machine and flame fist.

Bai He yawned and prepared to get up.

I'm already awake, and I can't get up.

The early morning light cast a faint golden glow over the earth.

Bai He's room was filled with tranquility, with only the occasional clear singing of birds coming from outside the window, as if gently awakening the sleeping world.

The sunlight shines through the half-closed curtains, casting patches of light and shadows on the floor.

He got out of bed and the floor was cold under his feet. Bai He walked to the window and opened the curtains.

A fresh air blew in his face, mixed with the fragrance of earth and flowers, making him feel refreshed.

He stood at the window, looking at the outside world.

The sun has risen completely, the sky is a light blue, and the sunlight shines in every corner, making the whole world look full of vitality.

Taking a deep breath and feeling the fresh air, Bai He's heart was filled with expectation and hope.

"Beautiful world, it would be great if it were a little more peaceful."

He turned and walked to the bathroom and turned on the faucet. The sound of running water was particularly clear in the quiet morning.

Bai He scooped up some cold water with his hands, washed his face, and immediately felt much clearer.

He looked at himself in the mirror, his face a little sleepy, but his eyes were shining with determination.

Bai He became much more sober and thought about the problem of the skill learning machine.

Before, I said I would complete the quest and exchange points for the Flame Fist so that I could have all three punches of the Mongoose Slasher. I didn't expect that this skill machine would appear today.

Is it really a coincidence?

"System, tell me honestly, can you control the sign-in rewards?"

Bai He called the system himself.

The system is the same as usual. When the white crane is not calling, it only prompts the task completion status and will never express its own opinions or views. However, as soon as the white crane looks for it, it will appear immediately, as if waiting for the white crane's call at any time.

"I'm not, I don't have any, don't talk nonsense, the sign-in reward is completely random, this is all your luck, host."

Bai He still found it hard to believe. With so many props and skill machines, and even the possibility of drawing Pokémon, he got a Flame Fist skill learning machine as soon as he signed in. When did his luck get so good?

"System, you are not being honest, why don't you tell the truth quickly?"

The system was silent for a moment, then made a sound.

"It's actually the host's luck, but I also made some adjustments. For items of the same level and value, I can make some minor adjustments. For example, if I get the Thunder Fist, but the host has already got it before, I will adjust it to another skill. Of course, this is just an analogy. Anyway, I can't adjust it higher or lower."

Bai He is now a little suspicious of this guy.

"I don't trust you. Tell me what authority you have now. You should know about Lord Arceus. After all, so many beasts appeared out of nowhere, but you never asked once. This is unreasonable."

Regarding this issue, the system responded very quickly.

"Host, you have the ability to possess these Pokémon. As a system, I will not interfere, and I am not qualified to ask. In addition, I do know about Arceus, but I only know some information."

Bai He knew that the system must be hiding something from him, but the system had always been of great help to him. If there was no Pokémon system, he might not even be able to take the first step.

Maybe he is still preparing for the Beast Taming College Entrance Examination with Chen Lan and the others.

Baihe did not suspect that the Pokémon system had any bad ideas or plans, he just wanted more rest.

The system was also thinking that with Bai He's current strength, he could actually access more information.

However, there are still some things that I cannot tell Bai He. Perhaps after Bai He knows those things, he will begin to doubt his life.

"I can only tell you that all rewards given by the system are the most real and effective. The system, like Arceus, is the most sincere in its help and support for you. I cannot tell you the secrets that Arceus cannot tell you for the time being."

Bai He smiled with the corners of his mouth raised.

This information is enough. At least Bai He knows one thing, that is, the secrets that Arceus knows are also known by the system, and the two of them have a tacit understanding and choose to keep it secret from themselves for the time being.

What exactly is going on? How many people made these two great gods so secretive.

Even if the entire beast taming world was completely destroyed, it would not attract the attention of these two.

It seems that the situation is much more serious than I imagined.

"System, your condition is not to wait until I upgrade all the Pokémon to the maximum level."

"Of course not. Arceus and I both have our own conditions. As long as you can complete any one of them, you can unlock all the secrets."

Bai He became interested. He didn't expect that there were other ways to let him know these secrets.

Although the secrets known by the system may be slightly different from those of Arceus, there should be many similarities.

"Tell me, what is your request?"

"Use your own strength to defeat Arceus II."

Bai He was stunned for a moment, then said: "System, open the task list."

I didn't even dare to think about what the system just said, but this guy actually dared to say it.

I should just do my tasks honestly, improve my grades, and rank up.

While rinsing his mouth, Bai He repeatedly considered the conditions proposed by the system.

Defeating Arceus is almost an impossible task.

So I can only listen to Arceus.

Bai He knows that every challenge is an opportunity for growth and every effort may lead to a breakthrough.

He decided not to face this challenge head on, but to look for other ways to improve himself and prepare for possible future challenges.

Baihe turned back to the bed, looked at the system's task list, and began to look for tasks that would allow him and the Pokémon to grow together.

He scanned the list carefully, looking for tasks that could both improve his strength and enhance teamwork.
