Aspiring to become a Pokémon trainer

"Nanyin, this old man has a task for you, which can also be considered a different kind of test."

"For the next two months, while you are studying nurturing knowledge, I will also trouble you to take over the care of this child."

Without hesitation, and with her usual concise style, Nan Yin parted her lips slightly and uttered a single word.

"it is good."

P.S.: Let me briefly transition the plot a bit, and I'd appreciate any free votes or encouragement.

Chapter Seventeen: Overnight Success

"Please lift your leg up a bit, you goat mount."

"...Meow."

With each call and response, after several dozen days, Nanyin gradually adapted to the rhythm of the place and settled down in Biyi City.

Besides her regular studies, she would also occasionally go to the shack to help with unfinished chores.

For example, right now, the girl is holding a short blade, bending down, and trimming the overly long hooves of Master Fu's lead sheep.

She didn't immediately make the cut. The old man had given her instructions on this task, and she knew the specific methods by heart.

He took out a brush from his waist and carefully swept away the dirt from the bottom of the hoof. After measuring the exact size of the cut with his hands and eyes, Nan Yin took out a short blade and moved forward slowly and neatly.

Paying close attention to the changes in the mountain goat's expression, I also used my mental energy to stabilize the knife handle between my fingers, avoiding the vulnerable hooves and blood vessels. After carving out a neat oval outer circle, the task was considered complete.

"call."

I stretched lightly and yawned. The scorching afternoon sun was so intense that it made me restless and uneasy.

With this in mind, she didn't wear her usual dress today. Instead, she wore a headscarf and an apron, dressed in simple farm attire for her journey.

Wiping the fine sweat from her forehead, Nan Yin was wondering whether to open her parasol when she sensed a change in the surrounding humidity.

"? Bar~"

With a beak like a duck's and a body covered in fur, standing behind the girl was a large, light green elf.

It meant no harm; it simply swelled up its lotus leaves to shield the former from the sun and cast a shadow.

"Thank you, Lucky Kappa."

Standing on tiptoe, barely able to reach the other's neck, Nan Yin was initially slightly surprised, but still patted its shoulder to express her gratitude.

To be honest, such scenes have almost become a part of her daily life. Fu Ye's spirits are mostly gentle and easygoing, and they enjoy being friendly and mutually supportive.

To some extent, I feel more fulfilled and able to persevere under such impoverished and difficult conditions, thanks to their companionship.

Of course, there are also—

"Buyi."

Following the same path, Eevee burrowed under the lotus leaves and, after a few leaps, landed lightly on Nan Yin's shoulder.

Watching the little guy's affectionate gestures, she slightly raised the corners of her lips. Just as mentioned earlier, this was also the reason why she could feel at peace.

Taking steps forward, led by the wobbly Lucky Kappa, the man and the beast arrived at their destination in a calm and harmonious manner.

After a brief farewell, Nan Yin pushed open the door to the inner room and went straight to the deepest part of the nurturing room.

That was the last thing she had to do that day.

Individual: Giant Dragon Egg Gender: Female

Status: Incubating, 840 hours remaining, total 35 days.

After quickly glancing at the results provided by the Palu Encyclopedia and noticing the changes in the number of days, she couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness at how quickly time had passed.

Without any hesitation, she skillfully retrieved the nutritional powder from the counter, added warm water, stirred it, and then proceeded with the same steps as the previous few days—

Pour the nutrient solution into the incubator and wait for the giant egg to slowly absorb it.

However, the girl didn't particularly enjoy waiting like water; she would usually find something to do.

For example, reading those training manuals and summaries of personal experiences that you haven't finished studying.

Moving over the wooden stool that had been prepared earlier, and leaning against the wall, Nan Yin turned the pages of the book one by one.

But after only a short while, she felt that the efficiency was too low and the progress was too slow.

Master Fu's collection is piled up like a mountain; at this rate, it will probably take three to five years to get a rough idea of ​​it.

So how can we learn efficiently?

Breaking down this term, we can roughly identify four steps: observation, understanding, thinking, and memorization.

The way ordinary people memorize things means that if they want to learn and understand, they must repeat the above steps, which increases the time cost of learning time and time again.

To speed up this process, one must simplify the steps mentioned above or even skip some of them, and those who can do this are often hailed as geniuses.

Whether it's a genius who can read ten lines at a glance and remember everything they see, skipping the process of observation and memory, or a genius who can grasp things instantly and understand them in a moment, or a genius who can draw inferences from one instance to another and doesn't need to think in detail.

By skipping one or even two steps, they can spend significantly less time learning the same thing as ordinary people, and enter the next stage more quickly.

Through this gradual accumulation, advantages will continuously expand and accumulate until they form an insurmountable barrier, dividing ordinary people from geniuses.

It can be said that, given the same amount of time and effort, the gap between ordinary people and them will only widen, to the point that the former will not even have the chance to see the latter's back.

Is Nanyin a talented individual with the aforementioned skills?

Obviously not. The person who holds the "serious" entry is just an ordinary person who is patient and calm.

Is there really no other way?

Emptying her mind, the girl let her mental energy transform into a tide, slowly filling the entire room.

After racking her brains to no avail, when she raised her eyes and caught sight of the giant egg, Nan Yin remembered a sentence that Master Fu had once said.

What we see is not always the truth, and old acquaintances may also limit our understanding.

Let's make a hypothesis: can mental power be used for learning?

As if suddenly enlightened, she realized that her mind, deeply influenced by comics, had been limited to things that facilitated combat and daily life. But now, she thought that something that could replace her hands, feet, and even sight seemed naturally suited for reading books.

The text can be discerned simply by the depth of the ink and tactile feedback, regardless of dim lighting or the angle of the eye, allowing for the clear viewing of all words and phrases within the perceptual range at once.

Isn't this a method that is infinitely superior to anything like 'reading ten lines at a glance'?

If that's the case, wouldn't the most time-consuming observation process be glossed over?

"It is common sense that has stifled my thinking."

Nodding to himself, Nan Yin already knew how to develop this treasure.

Through this invisible sense, she can browse the contents of all chapters in an instant. As long as her mental power does not fade and her brain can keep up with the feedback of her thoughts, this momentary state of 'reading' will exist permanently, and she will repeat the process of observation.

This saves time on connecting sentences and paragraphs, allowing more time to be devoted to understanding.

With her mind wandering, the young woman was no longer content with mere speculation; she wanted to immediately test its feasibility.

Bathed in sunlight, the books in Nan Yin's hands underwent a transformation.

It was as if an invisible finger had touched the corner of the bag, gently turning it open to reveal its contents.

Then, the pages began to move rapidly, yet miraculously they did not overlap, but were suspended upright by an invisible force.

Like a blooming flower, the paper inside is like petals, unfolding layer by layer without interfering with each other.

"I see."

By channeling her mental energy, the girl had focused all her thoughts on the object in her palm.

She could instantly grasp any meaningful words, symbols, and patterns, from the preface to the conclusion, from the table of contents to the page numbers, followed by simple thought and understanding.

This experience is indescribable. By the time Nan Yin tried to savor it, the entire book had already become just a corner of her memory.

"not enough."

Driven by insatiable desires and freed from the constraints of common sense, she boldly regarded her mental power as an extension of her senses, and turned her gaze toward the nearby giant egg.

Tiny holes, suddenly changing patterns, the egg white inside, the nascent dragon... things that could not be seen directly before became crystal clear in her mind.

For a fleeting moment, Nan Yin even caught a glimpse of the other party's faint consciousness, but because she couldn't understand it at all and couldn't respond, she had to return empty-handed.

"It seems like something is missing. Psychic power is more like an extension of the material level. If we want to truly understand and even communicate with it, it seems that we need to advance on the spiritual level."

Looking at the gray-black waveguide on her personal panel, she made a rough deduction.

After putting away her books, Nan Yin wasn't in a hurry. Now she wanted to relive the feeling of seeing so many books at a glance.

After emptying the waste from the incubator and doing a rough cleanup, the girl hurriedly headed towards the inn.

Without washing her face or changing her clothes, she simply piled all the borrowed books on the coffee table and began to read them one by one.

I spent the rest of the night without a sleep.

Chapter 18 Acting Gym Leader and Battles

Early in the morning, the warm sun begins to emerge.

Through the half-covered window screen, the faint morning light poured down in abundance.

Unlike yesterday, the living room is now cluttered with numerous open books.

And this mess is the result of Nanyin's entire night of learning.

Exhaling the stale air, even after a sleepless night, the girl's eyes remained bright and showed no signs of fatigue.

Rather, she is still in high spirits.

Having broken free from the constraints of common sense, she now has endless ideas about the use of telekinesis.

This dramatic change, occurring only in a single day and night, inevitably gives Nanyin a sense of unreality.

But will she be thrown off balance because of this?

No, coming to this world she longed for is already the greatest surprise for the girl. What else could possibly stir up waves again?

While telekinesis is extraordinary and wondrous, it is still a tool, something that requires conscious control to use, and a power that one can fully control.

It's just a series of glasses, hearing aids, and pens that are infinitely more convenient.

Putting her thoughts aside, Nan Yin tidied up the room and began preparing for today's breakfast.

I brewed three cups of milk, heated up a bag of bread, and before I could even finish cleaning up, the two little ones had already naturally jumped onto the dining table.

"You guys are always so enthusiastic at times like this."

Not annoyed, she simply poked Scorpio's broad head with her fingertip, eliciting a puzzled murmur from him as he tilted his head.

"Bang!"

As for Ibrahimovic?

Favoritism also comes in stages, and Nan Yin still showed some favoritism towards her initial partners.

Turn on the tap, gather the water flow just right, hold it in mid-air, then squeeze out half a dollop of dish soap and let it mix with the water.

Following the manipulation of mental power, the still liquid quickly covered the bowls and chopsticks, and then spontaneously began to wash them.

The thorough cleaning, with no blind spots, took Nan Yin only half a minute in total.

This is where the so-called high efficiency is reflected.

After retying her headscarf and apron, she had come to like this simple outfit after the scorching sun of the past few days.

Once again, taking advantage of the convenience of the giant food flower's fast train, after a few swings of the whip, the familiar low building came into view.

However, the old man was nowhere to be seen. Only the goat that was riding the goat came out of the hut and nodded lightly to the girl in welcome.

"Master Fu, did you go out on business?"

During this time of year, her master should be here pruning the branches and leaves, doing some light work, and waiting quietly.

Moreover, it didn't even take the lead sheep that was its original partner with it.

With a sense of doubt, Nan Yin pushed open the door and found a letter on the simple coffee table.

[To Nanyin:]
