Let you make a game, what the hell is Pokemon?.

Chapter 242 The Hatching of Fossil Pokémon, The Last Line, A Brand New Breakthrough!
As Ling Feng confirmed it, the runes on the "Ancient Revival Furnace" lit up one by one, and the crystal panel at the core emitted a soft white light, enveloping the fossil.

A strange energy fluctuation permeated the room.

Buzz.
The deep humming sound lasted for more than ten seconds, and the white light grew brighter and brighter, almost filling the entire space, causing Ling Feng to subconsciously squint.

Gengar, curious, floated a little higher, its attention drawn to the flames. Chandelure's flames also began to flicker, as if it had sensed something.

The next moment, the light suddenly receded.

Where the white light dissipated, the fossil had completely disappeared, replaced by a brand new Pokémon.

It has a dark blue, spiral-shaped, hard carapace with pale yellow edges. A small, equally dark blue head peeks out from the front of the carapace, covered with hard plates. Two pairs of black eyes, filled with the bewilderment of a newborn and a little unease, curiously observe this unfamiliar world and the person before them.

Several short, pale yellow tentacles extended from under the carapace, swaying gently.

It is one of the ancient fossil Pokémon—Omanyte!

It's done! It's really revived!

Looking at the little guy in front of him that exuded an ancient aura, Ling Feng couldn't help but feel a little surprised. When he saw the fossil just now, he had wondered if the resurrected creature might be a Pokémon like Lily.

Unexpectedly, the final result was... an Omanyte.

Omanyte seems pretty good too; it's one of the earliest fossil Pokémon with decent combat power.

Although Omanyx is practically nonexistent in PvP, its actual strength in reality is theoretically quite considerable.

At this moment, witnessing the resurrection of a fossil Pokémon with his own eyes, Ling Feng still felt a bit strange.

It's much more exciting to be able to use it right away than just getting the machine blueprints.
At this moment, the ammonite seemed a little bewildered, its small body shrinking slightly.

Ling Feng immediately revealed a gentle smile, trying his best to make his aura appear calm.

He crouched down, slowly stretched out his hand, palm up, without a Poké Ball, nor did he need one.

He simply looked at it with kind eyes.

"Hello, Omanyte."

"My name is Ling Feng. Welcome to your... uh, resurrection."

The ammonite blinked its two pairs of small black eyes, seemingly sensing that Ling Feng meant no harm and even gave it a sense of reassurance.

It hesitated for a moment, then slowly and somewhat clumsily moved its body toward Ling Feng's palm.

A cool touch came, and the Omanyte gently rubbed its head against Ling Feng's fingers.

Ling Feng smiled slightly, carefully supporting the bottom of the Ammonite's shell with his hand and gently lifting it up.

The little guy seemed very secure in his palm, its antennae swaying gently.

Gengar came closer, curiously examining Omanyte, and made a "Heh?" sound.

As Gengar arrived, Omanyte was so frightened that it immediately shrank back into its shell, leaving Gengar with a completely black face.

—Do I look like some kind of scary guy?
Ling Feng smiled.

"Step back a bit, don't scare them."

As a newly revived Pokémon, this ancient Pokémon Omanyte doesn't seem to be very brave...

But who cares? The child is still young, and things might not be like this when he grows up.

At this moment, he could be said to be quite satisfied.

This revival not only verified the machine's effectiveness, but also resulted in the acquisition of an ancient Pokémon for free.

It's important to know that the base stats and performance of these fossil Pokémon are far superior to those of ordinary Pokémon.

He gently placed the ammonite on the table to let it get used to its new environment.

Ling Feng's attention returned to the second reward—the SS-level design blueprint.

The drawing itself seemed to be made of some kind of energy, suspended in the system space, emitting bursts of colorful light.

SS-grade items... are definitely different.

He concentrated and selected the blueprint.

hum!
The next moment, an even more complex and massive torrent of information flooded into his mind, and the name and effect of the drawing clearly appeared:
[SS-Rank Item Design Blueprint: Characteristic Editing Chip (Prototype)]

[Effect Description: Implanting this chip into a specific device (requires additional manufacturing) allows for limited editing and activation of a Pokémon's abilities and attributes (requires a massive amount of special materials and energy).]

[Note: This can only be used once per Pokémon and cannot be reversed.]

[List of Core Material Requirements (Partial)]

【Heart of Eternity x1 - A legendary gem containing unchanging rules, extremely rare】

[Wedge of Life x1 - A fragment of the World Tree core containing immense life energy]

[Star Core Fragment x3 - Energy Crystals from Extraterrestrial Meteorites]

【Dream Gene Essence】x1ml (must be safely extracted from the Dream creature)
Manufacturing difficulty: SSS grade (extremely high)

Feature/attribute editing?!

Ling Feng felt like he had gone completely mad.

He had always thought this system was incredibly powerful, but he never expected that something so powerful that even he found it too incredible would finally appear today.

What's the difference between this and a game editor?

Pokémon abilities are one of the core elements of battle; Hidden Abilities and Regular Abilities often determine the success or failure of a Pokémon's strength.

Now, the chips generated from this blueprint can even have their characteristics and attributes edited?

This effect is absolutely incredible!
opened?
It truly lives up to its SS-class designation.

However, when Ling Feng saw the long list of core materials whose names alone were enough to make one's scalp tingle, and the SSS-level manufacturing difficulty, he shrugged.

The Heart of Eternity? The Wedge of Life? Fragments of the Star Core?

Want the dreamlike gene serum too?!

These things, judging from their names, are all difficult to obtain. The World Tree, in particular, exists only in legends, and its creation is considered extremely difficult.

Clearly, this is something I can't even begin to think about at this stage.

Looking at the blueprint with its dazzling seven-colored light, Ling Feng felt a little helpless.

Why does this system keep giving me things that are way ahead of their time?
He shook his head helplessly and temporarily stored the blueprint in his system inventory. His gaze swept over the Omanyte curiously exploring its new environment on the table, then looked at the Gengar and Chandelure floating in the corner.

We must take things one step at a time. Right now, there are other, more important things to do.
With this thought in mind, Ling Feng's gaze swept across the system panel. It just so happens that this week is coming to an end, and it's time to release the leaderboard rewards for Emerald, Phantom of the Dark, and Time Rescue Team. He still needs to prepare what to release this month.
While he was thinking, he casually opened another task panel to check the situation.

Today, the task of reaching one million non-trainer players has been completed ahead of schedule. The more important main quest should be almost done by now, right?

Main Quest: The Foundation of a Legend (SS)

[Task Requirements: 1. Achieve over 10 million paid downloads for any game you create within a single world. (Completed) 2. Unlock and use at least one "Advanced Crafting Module" to create a new game and achieve sales of at least 5 million copies! (498 million currently)]

[Task Rewards: 10000 Emotion Points, 1 "Seed of the World" Fragment, 1 Random Legendary Crafting Module]

This result was clearly somewhat unexpected.

Emerald's sales have already met the requirement of ten million copies, but Time Rescue Team, which uses the terrain generation module, is stuck at just over four million nine hundred and ninety thousand downloads, about ten thousand copies short of the five million mark.

Ling Feng looked at the number. Although the growth rate was already quite good, the comparison made it even more apparent that non-trainer players were indeed attracted to the game—the game's total downloads hadn't even reached five million, yet the number of non-trainer players had already surpassed one million.
It's important to understand that the non-trainer population in this world is already quite small.

His gaze lingered on the "Seed of the World" fragment mentioned in the mission rewards, and his thoughts drifted to another world.

Regarding the Genesis Engine, if it has nothing to do with life energy, then the problems in the second world will probably require other solutions.

Ling Feng couldn't help but feel a bit of a headache.

I just hope... this fragment and that life energy or something can actually be connected.
Looking at the download statistics, the number was still jumping very slowly but steadily. Ling Feng estimated that with the current popularity, the gap of 10,000 copies could definitely be reached by tomorrow at the latest.

In that case, there's no need to keep watching it all the time.

He closed the task panel and decided to do something else first.

Ling Feng's gaze swept around the room, finally landing on the Chandelure and Gengar floating in the corner.

Now that we're preparing to return to that second world, it's time to assess the strength of the two Pokémon I have with me.

After spending time together, Ling Feng knew very well that Gengar's strength was always at the middle level of a Gym Leader.

Although this guy doesn't really like training, he has a natural talent, and with spending all his time in front of the computer processing data, his mental strength has improved quite a bit. It seems that his telekinetic abilities have even increased recently.

As for the Crystal Lamp Spirit, Ling Feng remembered that in the last assessment, it should have been hovering in the middle of the Quasi-Heavenly King level.

But considering the situation in that other world, especially the numerous Future and Ancient species he sensed that also exuded the aura of a Master, Ling Feng felt that if he really wanted to go there to handle things, he would probably need the strength of a Heavenly King to be safe, at least his ability to protect himself would be much stronger.

"Crystal Chandelier Spirit, come here for a moment." Ling Feng beckoned to the slowly drifting figure that emitted a warm glow.

Upon hearing the call, the Crystal Chandelier Spirit immediately floated over and hovered in front of Ling Feng, its flames swaying gently.

Ling Feng reached out, instinctively wanting to touch the cold edge of the lamp stand, while simultaneously concentrating his mind to sense its current energy intensity.

However, just as his fingertips were about to touch the dark blue flame, a scorching energy wave, far more powerful and intense than he remembered, carrying a terrifying sense of oppression, emanated from the Crystal Lamp Spirit without reservation.

Ling Feng's hand froze in mid-air, and he was stunned for a moment.

This energy intensity...something's not right.
How come this is so much better than before?

Ling Feng conservatively estimated that the strength of this force was at least seven or eight times greater than what he had previously sensed.

The only possibility for someone to have a strength level that is seven or eight times higher than that of a near-Heavenly King is Heavenly King level!

I feel a little lost right now.

When did this guy break through?

Hasn't it been running around playing every day lately, rarely seen?
The Crystal Chandelier Spirit seemed to sense Ling Feng's surprise and doubt. The flames on its body flickered slightly, conveying a mix of apology and pride.

A surge of mental energy arrived, and Ling Feng understood its explanation.

Clearly, the chandelier spirit hadn't been out playing at all during this time.

Ever since Gengar suddenly appeared and almost stole and devoured Ling Feng's soul, back when it was still by candlelight, he suddenly realized something.

It felt that it needed to become stronger so that it could better protect Lingfeng.

After all, if it weren't for that magical candy, who knows what might have happened to Ling Feng...
And naturally, he couldn't just stand by and watch something like this happen!
Therefore, during this period of disappearance, it was actually running to deserted, relatively active places in the suburbs of the city, quietly carrying out arduous training, and repeatedly trying to break through the barrier of the Heavenly King level.

Just two days ago, it finally succeeded, but it hasn't had a chance to tell Ling Feng yet.

After understanding the whole story, Ling Feng's previous surprise turned into gratitude, and he felt a warm current surge into his heart.

He reached out and placed his hand on the cool, crystal lamp stand, gently stroking it.

The feeling of having Pokémon and wholeheartedly caring for one's own safety would probably move anyone.

"You."

"Next time you have this idea, just tell me directly, why are you hiding from me..."

If you want to become stronger, just say so!

Dude, I've saved up so many emotion points, why don't I just give you a few items to use?

Why do you need to train so hard?
The flames on the crystal chandelier spirit leaped merrily a few times, conveying a "I understand" message, along with a hint of happiness from being praised.

Just then, Ling Feng caught a glimpse of Gengar playing idly with its shadow out of the corner of his eye. Remembering the guy's "none of my business" expression just now, he immediately smiled.

"Look, they've already reached the King level."

Gengar was floating around bored when it was suddenly called out and given this comment. It immediately rolled its eyes in dissatisfaction.

—Yes, yes, let's make him the Heavenly King.

This happened the day before yesterday! How come you're only finding out now?!

Besides, your Pokémon isn't even a normal Pokémon, okay? How could its strength increase so quickly!
