Small Villa

"Thanks for the invitation. I'm currently in Donghuang and just picked up a villa from the university."

After taking a photo and posting it on social media, Wei Xin was seen carrying Ralts and standing at the entrance of dormitory 280, his joy evident.

Wei Xin, who was unemployed immediately after graduation in his previous life and could only live in a cramped single apartment, never expected that he would be able to move into a luxury villa just one week after transmigrating.

"This will be our temporary new home from now on. Are you happy?" Wei Xin looked down at the little Ralts in his arms and asked.

"Ralts~" Ralts raised one hand and called out energetically, although she was too young to understand what her trainer meant.

But if the trainer is happy, she is happy.

Wei Xin opened the iron gate of the villa, and in front of him was a two-story house surrounded by a huge courtyard, with a small warehouse next to the house.

When I opened the door, I didn't see the messy living room I had expected. Instead, soft sunlight streamed through the black-rimmed French windows, filtering through the orange gauze curtains and casting fleeting shadows on the tiled floor.

Wei Xin checked and found that all the furniture had been cleaned, which showed that the senior brother/sister who ascended to the upper realm was a very responsible person.

The spacious living room features a large-screen LCD TV, a home-style sofa and glass coffee table, two separate bathrooms, a kitchen, a study, and two bedrooms, each with a 10-square-meter balcony.

Because it's a double room, the rent is cheaper than a single room, at 15000 yuan a month. This price sounds outrageous, but in Shanghai, where land is incredibly valuable, you can rent a villa like this for just over 10,000 yuan. What more could you ask for?

Moreover, Wei Xin is getting the house for free. As long as he is careful not to damage the house and avoid paying compensation, the only thing he needs to pay is a small amount for water and electricity.

In addition, Wei Xin also found a black plastic box in the room with a note on it containing only three words.

"A gift for my junior brother."

Senior brother, how dare you assume my gender?

"It seems to be a legacy left by my senior brother before his ascension. Let me see what it is?" Wei Xin opened the box, somewhat expectant.

My junior brother is rather simple-minded and doesn't want much, so I'll just keep two Master Balls for him.

"A game controller, a Pokémon Smash Bros. game cartridge. I don't know if it will work, but I can try it in a bit." Wei Xin remembered that he also had proficient-level gaming skills.

Wei Xin put the cartridge and controller aside. Ralts, who was standing next to Wei Xin's legs, curiously picked up the cartridge, waved its little hand a couple of times, and when it didn't get any response, it tilted its head, thought for a moment, then held the cartridge in both hands, brought it to its face, opened its mouth, and licked it.

"Ralu!!!"

A strong bitter taste spread across her tongue. For some reason, Wei Xin also felt a faint bitter taste on his tongue. He looked down and saw Ralts hurriedly put the cartridge back in its place, then jump up and down on the ground in a hurry, pawing at her tongue with her little hands, trying to get rid of the bitter taste, but to no avail, and tears were almost flowing from her eyes.

"Silly girl, now you're suffering the consequences of eating random things." Wei Xin smiled, took out a milk and handed it to Ralts. "Drink some milk to relieve the bitterness. Don't eat random things anymore, understand?"

"And you can't eat anything given to you by strangers," Wei Xin added.

Jealousy is a terrible thing. Wei Xin was worried that after the exam results came out, the students who didn't make the list would hold a grudge against those who did. He was sure they would post on their WeChat Moments to show off after the new students in the Battle Department chose their Pokémon tomorrow.

If someone acts impulsively at that time, the consequences could be disastrous.

That said, the reason game cartridges taste bitter is because game companies coat them with extremely bitter chemicals to prevent minors from accidentally swallowing them. But just how bitter are they?

Unable to resist his curiosity, Wei Xin also picked up the cassette tape, put it to his lips, and gently licked it.

"Hiss~"

That was incredibly authentic.

Wei Xin's face was contorted with pain.

Ralts drank her milk, looked up at her trainer who was frowning from the bitterness, and looked completely bewildered.

Knowing that it's terribly bitter, why would you still try it?

Ralts sighed helplessly, realizing her trainer didn't seem to be very bright. She used her psychic powers to draw about a mouthful of milk from her bottle and gently held it up to her trainer's face.

Here, you can only have one sip.

As the milk floated in front of him, Wei Xin covered his mouth, feeling inexplicably moved.

He couldn't help but sigh that his child had grown up and become sensible, and that all the hardships he had endured over the years (though it was just a small amount, and he had brought it upon himself) had been worthwhile.

This is my child, my child, do you know?

Savoring the care Ralts showed him, Wei Xin continued to check the contents of the box. Inside was a green hat with fluffy New Leaf Meow ears. After thinking for a moment, Wei Xin gently placed the hat on Ralts' head.

Feeling something on her head, Ralts tilted her head, raised her hand, and curiously touched the extra ear on her head.

Click...

Wei Xin swiftly pulled out his phone, took five photos in quick succession, and then saved them to a secret album named Ralts.

Cat-eared Ralts and the like are just too unfair.

"Ralts~" The sound of a phone taking pictures caught Ralts' attention. She looked up and saw her trainer holding a phone with a motherly smile on her face.

Ralts silently lowered her hand. Although she was a little uncomfortable with having something on her head, she decided to wear it since her trainer liked it.

Gritting his teeth and with an iron will, Wei Xin finally broke free from the control of the cat-eared Ralts.

Wei Xin then found a leash, handcuffs, some strange little toys, and a square box in the box.

When I opened it, I found a bunch of small balloons inside, and someone had poked holes in them.

How come there are spirit rings in your inheritance?

It turns out that Senior Brother didn't ascend to immortality; he was framed by the Holy Maiden of the Joyful Union Sect.

Looking down, Wei Xin caught a glimpse of Ralts clinging to the box, curiously rummaging through the toys inside. Without a word, Wei Xin gently picked up Ralts and closed the box.

The negative impact of these things on children is immeasurable.

To preserve Ralts's purity, Wei Xin decided to dispose of these things at a later time.

Afterwards, Wei Xin took Ralts to check the house again, and after confirming what was missing, he made a list and decided to go to the supermarket to buy daily necessities.

Along the way, Ralts, with her new skin, attracted the attention of many passersby.

My God, the person who invented Ralts with cat ears is a genius!

[Great idea! When I get back, I'm going to put cat ears on my superhuman strength too.]

Although people have their own preferences, I still suggest you see a doctor.

Why not dress Ralts in a skirt or maid outfit?

Damn it, you're a genius! This is the most amazing idea I've ever heard. Your IQ must be 160. You're so talented, you deserve the Nobel Prize.

However, ordinary supermarkets and clothing stores do not sell Pokémon clothing; you usually need to find a special shop or have it custom-made, so Wei Xin decided to deal with it later.

"Here's your receipt, please keep it safe. Our supermarket has a promotion today. For an extra five yuan, you can enter a lucky draw with your receipt. Would you like to participate?" The cashier asked with a smile as Wei Xin paid after he finished shopping.

"A lottery." Wei Xin turned his head and saw a lottery box not far away, with all kinds of prizes on the shelf behind the staff.

Fifth Prize: Tissues

Fourth Prize: A bag of rice

Third Prize: A 100 RMB gift card

Second Prize: The Soothing Bell

First Prize: Limited Edition Karune & Gardevoir Collaboration Crossbody Bag
