"Orcs will never be slaves, unless they are provided with food and lodging?"
For some reason, as soon as Ding Yun finished inspecting the interior of the basic Poké Ball, this sentence immediately flashed through her mind. The basic Poké Ball was already comparable to a small apartment, so how grand would the intermediate and advanced ones be?
A Master Ball might as well be a palace.
No wonder the capture rate of Master Balls was 100%.
With such treatment, let alone wild Pokémon, even domestic Pokémon probably couldn't resist the temptation.
Ding Yun felt that she herself would be willing to move in.
Unfortunately, there were no Pokémon in this world at all. Ding Yun couldn't possibly catch chickens, ducks, and geese with Poké Balls to raise them. So after playing around in the basic Poké Ball for a while, she came out and started packing.
She moved all the items from the original body that were inconvenient to be seen by her parents, or that might be confiscated if discovered, into the basic Poké Ball.
Using the Poké Ball as a storage room.
This way, she wouldn't have to worry about her mother suddenly becoming diligent one day and doing a surprise cleaning, leading to those items being found. It would also reduce the clutter in her room.
Making it look tidier and more organized!
After doing this, Ding Yun finally began to patiently and carefully review the system, understanding how to use it and how she should go about testing it.
In summary, this system was essentially a personal workshop that combined learning and creation. It consisted of only two core parts: one was a complete set of teaching courses for creating various types of Poké Balls, and the other was a creation space equipped with all the corresponding manufacturing equipment.
At first glance, it seemed fine.
However, this system did not provide raw materials.
Currently, the system did not require upgrades, had no missions, and even lacked a currency system. Everything was open and without any barriers. But the mere fact that it didn't provide raw materials was enough to negate all its advantages.
Because Ding Yun had only looked at the most basic recipe for creating a basic Poké Ball, she found a large number of raw materials she had never seen or heard of in that recipe.
What was the point of having recipes and equipment?
What was the point of having recipes and equipment without any barriers?
A clever housewife cannot cook without rice.
So, upon learning this, Ding Yun was speechless. How was she supposed to test this thing?
Was she supposed to just study?
After studying, she wouldn't even be able to practice.
"Forget it, this trial mission seems a bit precarious. Even if I spent time now learning all the knowledge within, it would take even more time to find substitutes for all the raw materials. So, I'll put aside the trial of this golden finger for now.
However, the flaws of this golden finger are too significant.
This is clearly customized for a certain world, unable to adapt and adjust when entering different worlds.
Alas, let's leave it at that..."
Although Ding Yun hadn't held out much hope, she was still a bit disappointed when she discovered how difficult this golden finger was to handle. After her disappointment, she immediately decided to put this golden finger on hold to avoid distraction and affecting her commission tasks.
So, the final result of that day was that Ding Yun temporarily gave up using the system and shielded it, only taking out the basic Poké Ball obtained from the beginner's gift package to use as a storage room.
Afterward, she entered a state of comprehensive learning.
It was unavoidable, as the knowledge Ding Yun had learned in other worlds could not be used in the current commission world.
So she had to choose to re-learn.
Re-learning on the basis of the original body's knowledge.
If she were merely completing commission tasks, she could bring the knowledge she learned in any world to the task world. But she had chosen to take on a high-paying golden finger trial task while completing her commission tasks?
What was the original intention of a golden finger?
The original intention of a golden finger was to help the weak.
If you know everything and understand everything, you can cultivate immortality, dabble in demonic arts, and even dabble in technology and magic in between.
Then what need would you have for a golden finger?
If you knew everything and then tried to use a golden finger, and you succeeded in the end, would that be attributed to your own ability or the golden finger's ability? It would be unclear.
Therefore, to take on the golden finger trial task, Ding Yun had to accept the other party's requirements, seal most of her knowledge after entering the task world, and only use the golden finger with the knowledge possessed by the original body.
However, subsequent learning and improvement were allowed.
The original body's current knowledge base was only considered decent within her own school. But remember, she was attending a third-rate high school, with second-rate and first-rate ones above it. And even a first-rate high school was only considered good within its county. The valedictorian she wanted to be wasn't competing with students from her own school or her own county, but with the entire province.
If some provinces shared the same exam papers, then she might have to compete with several provinces.
The gap could be imagined. Therefore, Ding Yun had to seize the time to study more now, at least completing all the high school courses, and possibly even learning advanced mathematics and more profound knowledge, to ensure she could confidently become the valedictorian.
And this was assuming she didn't encounter any geniuses during her college entrance exam.
If she encountered a prodigy who scored 148 out of 150 by doing one less multiple-choice question, even if she learned everything mentioned above, there would still be a risk of not becoming the valedictorian.
So she had to learn as much as possible.
And while studying, she had to wake up a little earlier every morning to run to school and run back home. This would not only exercise her body but also help her lose weight. Exercise-based weight loss was definitely healthier than dieting.
After losing weight, she wouldn't have to worry about her figure.
This way, weight loss and becoming the valedictorian could proceed together.
However, to prevent boredom from constant studying, Ding Yun specifically carved out two hours each from her Saturday and Sunday holidays to transform the original body's youth-pain literature, which totaled less than 20,000 characters, into a campus novel about a protagonist's struggle and success.
Writing 8,000 characters a week.
She would take her time, treating it as a form of self-entertainment.
As Ding Yun officially entered study mode for a period, the changes in her person were quite obvious. Setting aside any improvement in her academic performance, her appearance and spirit far surpassed her past. Before long, Ding Yun was no longer the pale and listless figure she used to be.
Not only was her complexion rosy and radiant, but her eyes, the windows to her soul, were no longer bloodshot and slightly cloudy. Instead, the whites were white, and the blacks were black, clear and distinct, clean and pure. Not only were there no bloodshot veins, but her pupils were also clear and bright.
She looked very energetic.
Of course, a more obvious change was that someone had started giving her love letters. Even some male classmates who had previously not considered her a girl spoke to her more reservedly, sometimes even awkwardly.
