The system's voice continued to resound.
"Newbie reward has been issued successfully, now this system will introduce its functions to the host."
"After possessing this system, when your actions cause others to feel shock, you can obtain shock points."
"As long as the host consumes a certain amount of shock points, you can make modifications that affect reality."
As soon as the words fell, a series of panels appeared before Julian's eyes.
"Basic Modification: Consumes 100 shock points, randomly obtains items, money, clues, or special rewards."
"Intermediate Modification: Consumes 500 shock points, the host can modify a Pokémon's individual values, talent aptitude (can be modified up to Champion Level), ability, and learned skills."
"Advanced Modification: Unlocked (requires an additional 2000 shock points to unlock)."
"God-level Modification: Unlocked (requires an additional 10000 shock points to unlock)."
Of the four different levels of modification effects, only two were currently unlocked.
But these two alone were enough to make Julian's eyes widen.
This is great!
Basic Modification was equivalent to a random lottery; whatever you got was what you got.
If he was lucky, he might even pull a Master Ball.
As for Intermediate Modification, it could directly affect a Pokémon's ability, individual values, talent, and even skills!
This was quite powerful.
From the moment a Pokémon was born, its talent, ability, and individual values were essentially fixed.
To a large extent, these determined the upper limit they could reach in the future.
But now with the system, none of these were problems!
As for the two unlocked modification functions below, they made Julian feel even more anticipation.
If Intermediate Modification was so powerful, could a higher level one directly modify levels, or even conjure a Legendary Pokémon out of thin air?
To be even bolder, common cheat functions like unlimited money and unlimited Master Balls...
Could they also be realized?
The more Julian thought about it, the more comfortable he felt.
As for how to obtain shock points... Julian felt it wouldn't be difficult.
Just the Rayquaza that could evolve into a Caterpie in his hand would probably leave many people speechless.
The system's voice continued.
"Task panel, unlocked."
Another brand new light screen appeared before Julain's eyes.
The light screen was divided into two parts.
"Daily Tasks" and "Main Story Tasks"
He first looked at the Daily Tasks.
""Striving for Progress (C-level)": Use a modification function once."
"Task Description: With a modifier in hand, wouldn't it be foolish not to use it?"
"Task Reward: One Basic Modification opportunity."
Julian couldn't complete this task yet because he didn't have any modification opportunities.
So, he turned his gaze to the Main Story Tasks.
""New Arrival" (Newbie Task): Obtain your first Pokémon within twelve hours."
"Task Description: The college entrance exam is tomorrow; you don't think waiting for the egg to hatch will be enough time, do you?"
"Task Reward: Random SSS-level character skill, Intermediate Modification opportunity x1."
"Note: If the task is not completed within twelve hours, it will automatically be considered a failure, and subsequent tasks cannot be activated."
The reward for this Main Story Task was indeed very generous, and it also included the modification opportunity Julian needed now.
But after reading the task description, Julian suddenly realized a huge problem.
He took out his phone and checked the time: 5 PM.
The Caterpie elf egg needed 24 hours to hatch, which meant it wouldn't be ready until tomorrow afternoon!
But the Pokémon college entrance exam would end before noon tomorrow!
Whether for the college entrance exam or the task reward, he had to find a way to get a Pokémon.
He had to do this immediately!
Julian thought for a moment, then carefully put the delta meteorite into his pocket.
This was a crucial item for Rayquaza to undergo Mega Evolution later, so he couldn't lose it.
Then, his gaze fell upon the elf egg.
The hatching pot given by the system looked to be of good quality, so there was no need to worry about hatching failure.
He carefully locked it in his cabinet, then began to ponder.
In this world, obtaining Pokémon was not as simple as in anime or games.
You couldn't just get a free Pokémon when you turned ten and go sightseeing and shopping everywhere.
Because the power that Pokémon could unleash in the real world was destructive.
A Champion Level Pokémon, if left unchecked, could probably level a city's downtown area in less than half an hour!
And weaker Pokémon attacking humans were also very dangerous.
Therefore, the largest organization in this world—the Elf Alliance—had established strict rules for this.
Only Professional Trainers could freely capture Pokémon, and there was a certain limit to the number.
Ordinary people naturally could not capture them; they had to go through official channels, such as breeding farms, to register and purchase Pokémon, and they could not possess Pokémon with powerful destructive capabilities.
Under these rules, the only exception was students.
Everyone attending a Pokémon high school could prepare their own initial Pokémon.
Those from well-off families would naturally prepare some rare Pokémon with high base stats.
But not every family had such conditions; considering this, the PokemonAlliance would also provide initial Pokémon to students.
They could receive one by paying a fee far below the market price.
But even so, Julian was currently very troubled.
Although this fee was far below market price, it was still a considerable amount.
The more you paid, the better the Pokémon you could receive.
As for not paying... then you could naturally only get the worst tier.
Reality was that cruel; no one would pity you.
And according to his memory, all the money Julian had on him now amounted to only about two thousand yuan.
This small amount of money wasn't even enough for the lowest tier of five thousand yuan...
Julian felt a bit helpless.
"It seems I can only choose from what's left..."
The lowest-tier Pokémon, to put it harshly, were just there to make up the numbers, the ones no one else wanted.
Their aptitude and individual values were the worst.
Choosing such a Pokémon to participate in the college entrance exam would naturally not yield good results.
However, Julian suddenly came to his senses.
That's not right!
—I have the God-level Modification system, why am I still worrying about these things?!
Low aptitude? Low individual values?
Just modify them!
After making his decision, Julian composed himself and immediately set off for the school's breeding garden.
At this moment, with the college entrance exam approaching, the school had naturally given students a holiday to adjust their state.
And it seemed that in this world, "Julian," who couldn't even afford to rent a house and could only live in the dormitory, was the only one.
Along the way, he didn't encounter a single person until he reached the entrance of the breeding garden.
"Good afternoon, Old Man Christopher."
Julian greeted an old man at the entrance.
This old man, named Christopher, was responsible for managing the breeding garden and distributing Pokémon.
Since there were many Pokémon dispatched by the Pokemon Alliance in the breeding garden, he would stay there even during holidays to take care of them.
Therefore, he and Julian had interacted quite a bit and were already acquaintances.
Christopher looked up, a little surprised.
"Julian? Why are you here?"
Julian went straight to the point:
"I want to receive a Pokémon."
At these words, Christopher was instantly stunned.
"Didn't you always refuse before? Why suddenly now..."
He was very curious; this child had previously said he absolutely refused to come and receive a Pokémon.
"I want one now, Old man Christopher, quickly take me to see."
Julian blinked, changing the subject.
Seeing this, Christopher stopped pressing and nodded;
"Oh, alright."
"But I have to tell you, if you haven't paid, you can only choose from the Pokémon that others have left behind."
"Come with me."
