Looking at the handheld, Bai Li Yuan quickly recovered from his initial shock, then began to analyze.
Having been immersed in the Land of Light for over two thousand years, Bai Li Yuan could still maintain basic composure when encountering problems.
The handheld was not a rare item, nor did it possess any special abilities, but it was an electronic product, a product of technology, so it could be obtained from a bronze egg.
The items obtained from black iron eggs were very diverse, but most of them were of little value, such as a bottle of water.
Logically, the rarer the egg, the more dangerous its location, so the items obtained from it should definitely correspond to its value. And while the System could refresh eggs, it couldn't change the rewards inside them. So, that meant—it wasn't the System, that scammer, playing tricks, but this handheld, which had a problem!
Bai Li Yuan picked up the handheld, and the remaining eggshell dissipated into specks of light.
Bai Li Yuan was already used to these special effects.
For some reason, the Egg System had a lot of special effects, always being very elaborate in inexplicable places, yet they were utterly useless.
“Nintendog…”
Three large characters were carved on the shell of the handheld.
Bai Li Yuan felt this was the most brutal black mark against Nintendo.
Bai Li Yuan knew about the Pokémon games produced by Nintendo; he had seen them in his first life, watched the anime, but not much, and never played the handheld games. He wasn't a hardcore fan, but fortunately, Bai Li Yuan still knew some basic settings.
Having seen the high technology of the Land of Light, a mere handheld posed no difficulty for Bai Li Yuan.
Of course, he wasn't just taking it apart to look at the structure, but rather turning on the handheld and checking its features.
“Hmm, solar-powered.” This was judged by its appearance.
Opening the game interface, there were various versions of the game.
“It's also touch screen?”
Suddenly, a hint of surprise flashed in Bai Li Yuan's eyes.
“《Pokémon Remake》? This isn't produced by Nintendo, is it?”
Bai Li Yuan had played Pokémon Remake; it was a domestic game. If you didn't want to grind for time and wanted good Pokémon, you had to spend money. It was a very realistic game.
Bai Li Yuan continued to look down, and sure enough, there were many other Pokémon games not produced by Nintendo, such as 《Go, Pikachu and 《Pokemon GO》. However, there were no cracked or modded versions.
“What's going on?”
“The description only says, ‘contains various versions of Pokémon games,’ it doesn't say they must be produced by Nintendo.” The System came out to show off its language skills.
Bai Li Yuan: “Sit down.”
System: “Yes!”
After hesitating for a while, Bai Li Yuan finally chose 《Pokémon Remake》. After all, it was the only version he had played, so he was more familiar with it and it would be easier to get started.
He didn't know the principle, but although it was an online game, it could be played directly on the handheld.
“Welcome to the world of Pokémon, I am Professor Oak…”
It was the familiar opening animation and introduction.
He entered his name, created a character; of course, playing alone, he wouldn't create a character that was a cross-dresser.
Then he entered the initial Pokémon selection. After thinking about it, Bai Li Yuan chose Bulbasaur, which had the best compatibility with him.
Why? Because both Bai Li Yuan and Bulbasaur could survive just by sunbathing!
After confirming Bulbasaur, something unexpected happened to Bai Li Yuan.
A black hole actually appeared on the handheld, and then a Poké Ball dropped out of it.
Bai Li Yuan reflexively caught the Poké Ball in his hand.
“Huh?”
“This is…” Bai Li Yuan stared blankly at the Poké Ball in his hand and the message on the handheld that read “You have obtained Bulbasaur.”
“It couldn't be… Bulbasaur, could it?” Bai Li Yuan twitched his lips.
“You'll know if you try, won't you?” The System's voice rang out.
Bai Li Yuan nodded, threw out the Poké Ball, a white light shot out, and then, a green figure about the same height as Bai Li Yuan appeared in front of him.
“It really is Bulbasaur?!!!” Bai Li Yuan exclaimed.
“Bulba, Bulba?” Bulbasaur looked around somewhat confused, and when he saw Bai Li Yuan, he excitedly pounced on him. Bai Li Yuan, who was about the same height as Bulbasaur, was directly pinned underneath. Bulbasaur was not light, weighing over ten catties, but fortunately, Bai Li Yuan's body was strong enough.
Lick, lick, lick…
Feeling the wetness on his face, Bai Li Yuan wiped his face.
“I think I probably know what this handheld is all about,” Bai Li Yuan said.
...
“The Pokémon captured will appear in the real world simultaneously, and their data will still exist in the game. At the same time, whether it's a Pokémon composed of the program in the handheld or a Pokémon in the real world, if one improves, the other will also grow. As expected of a diamond egg, to be able to open something like this.” Bai Li Yuan leaned against Bulbasaur, studying the handheld in his hand.
At this moment, Bulbasaur was comfortably lying on the ground, basking in the sun, looking lazy.
After completing the novice tutorial, Bai Li Yuan also obtained two more Pokémon—Poliwag and Oddish.
And they indeed appeared in front of Bai Li Yuan.
The data detected by the System showed that Bulbasaur's height was 0.7 meters, indeed the same height as the current Bai Li Yuan. The height of a five-year-old was quite a disadvantage.
Besides that, other versions of the game in the handheld had disappeared, leaving only 《Remake》.
And some functions in 《Remake》, due to level and condition restrictions, Bai Li Yuan had not yet had the chance to experiment with, so he couldn't judge if they worked, such as microtransactions!
Bai Li Yuan put the handheld back into the System warehouse, patted his clothes, and stood up.
“Come back, Bulbasaur.”
“Bulba Bulba.” Bulbasaur transformed into a ray of light and flew onto the back of Bai Li Yuan's left hand.
On the back of Bai Li Yuan's hand was a diamond-shaped Emblem, with the shape of a book inside.
As mentioned before, this world was not a mortal world, because humans in this world could awaken to become a profession called “Emblem User.”
In five days, Bai Li Yuan had also gathered some information about Emblem Users. After all, the mainstream power in this world was Emblem Users, so basic information was not hard to come by.
People in this world, between the ages of seven and ten, would awaken a professional Emblem. Different professions had different Emblem styles and granted different powers.
The Emblem on Bai Li Yuan's hand appeared silently on the back of his left hand after he obtained Bulbasaur, and his profession was Summoner.
After awakening the Emblem, Bulbasaur, Poliwag, and Oddish moved into the Emblem. Inside the Emblem, the Pokémon would be in a dormant state, with consumption reduced to a minimum.
Through this incident, Bai Li Yuan could determine that the awakening of an Emblem User was not due to bloodline inheritance, but the power of rules!
As long as one was in this world and met the prerequisites for awakening an Emblem, depending on the circumstances, one would awaken their own professional Emblem!
However, even knowing this, without cultivation methods, one's strength would still not improve.
Bai Li Yuan felt that, in a situation where he couldn't transform, becoming an Emblem User was indeed a pretty good choice!
At least this way, his safety in this world could be somewhat guaranteed.
After all, this was not a mortal world!
Moreover, becoming an Emblem User could save a lot of trouble, and it was said that one could even apply for poverty status and receive economic subsidies.
Now, Bai Li Yuan was going to a place where he could obtain cultivation methods and become stronger—the Badge Academy!
That's right, it was that academy from just now.
Bai Li Yuan hadn't run far; he was still very close to the Badge Academy.
Joining the Badge Academy would definitely allow him to receive systematic education as an Emblem User.
As for the identity issue, since he was so cute, he should be able to charm his way through, right?
“Sigh, to be so strong, yet have to rely on looks for a living, it really is a sin.”
However, some things always turn out unexpectedly.
Bang!
A huge stream of water suddenly burst out from underground in front of Bai Li Yuan, splashing directly onto his face.
“Pfft—What the hell, who the f*** blew up the Sewer?!”
