Chapter 77 Tumor Mode_1

Time, 9 o'clock at night.

By this time, Fang Yuan had returned home and was busily working on his thesis.

Desperate to submit it early, he now neglected even his homework, fully engrossed in the task at hand.

Gurgle...

Under the bright light, Fang Yuan picked up a cup of hot milk and took a big gulp. Lately, not only did Eevee need nourishment, but he did as well.

However, he was fine with drinking regular milk, as indulging in a large can of milk every day was far too extravagant for Fang Yuan to afford...

"Huh."

After putting down the cup, Fang Yuan instinctively glanced at his phone and immediately showed a delighted expression upon seeing a new text message.

Teacher Li Chang: The matter you mentioned should be fine, as long as Eevee doesn't cause any trouble.

In order to make use of the time during cultural classes, Fang Yuan came up with an idea, which was to leave Eevee alone in the clubroom and assign it some training tasks.

However, worried that something might go awry, he had consulted Teacher Li before taking any action.

If the other party agreed, then there likely wouldn't be a problem.

Now, Teacher Li had given a affirmative answer, and Fang Yuan was relieved.

Indeed, having connections really did save a lot of hassle.

Next, he had to consider how to explain this to Eevee.

He needed to make Eevee understand that this opportunity was hard-earned, and then negotiate a deal with it...

"Eevee."

After pondering for a while, Fang Yuan put down his phone and called out to Eevee, who was fiddling with two phones on the bed.

"Bwoo?"

At the same time.

Eevee paused for a moment, then rolled around on the bed, spreading out the silk scarf on its body before quickly jumping down and coming to Fang Yuan's side.

Looking at Eevee, Fang Yuan sighed.

"Eevee, tell me the truth, isn't it boring to stay in the Poké Ball for such a long time every day..."

"Bwoo!!"

Eevee showed a sorrowful expression. Accustomed to being outside, it felt smothered by the lengthy periods it had to spend each day inside the cramped Poké Ball.

But Eevee also knew this was the school's regulation, not just for it, but for every senior year student's Pokémon as well.

If they were allowed to stay outside during cultural classes, the entire classroom would become chaotic.

Eevee was one thing... what if someone's Beginner Elf was Grimer?

Who could handle that?

In fact, this was also Fang Yuan's oversight; if he hadn't fostered Eevee's dislike for entering the Poké Ball, it wouldn't be so resistant to staying inside it now.

"I understand, I understand..." Fang Yuan shook his head.

"But you also know, there's nothing that can be done about this..."

Eevee showed a troubled expression.

Both the Trainer and his Pokémon fell into a brief silence.

"However, it's not like there are no other options," Fang Yuan suddenly said, "Actually, if we just think about it differently, we can solve this."

Hearing this, Eevee looked up blankly. What did he mean?

"I can secretly put you in the clubroom. While I'm taking classes inside, you can just quietly watch your phone there. Then, when I have classes outside, I'll come to get you out."

As Fang Yuan finished speaking, Eevee's eyes widened.

It sounded pretty good.

So... wouldn't it have a very long time to look at its phone every day?

However, Eevee was somewhat skeptical that such a great thing could happen.

It took a small step back, warily eyeing Fang Yuan... sensing that Fang Yuan wasn't harboring any good intentions.

"Hmm?"

Fang Yuan rubbed his temples, wondering why Eevee suddenly became so vigilant.

Forget it.

He might as well just say it outright, considering how addicted Eevee was to the internet, it wouldn't give up this opportunity.

"It's fine to do so, but you also understand that merely watching dramas and playing games doesn't count as a proper job,"

"If Teacher Li finds out, you'll definitely be kicked out of the classroom."

Eevee nodded in agreement, seeming to accept this point of view.

Even the students in the school were prohibited from playing with their phones, let alone Pokemon.

"But, if you are doing something proper, it's a different story."

"For students, the proper thing to do is to study, and for Trainer's Pokemon, the proper thing to do is to train."

"Teacher Li might not let you play with your phone, but can he really stop you from training?"

Eevee fell into thought, then tentatively called out to Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan smiled and said, "So, if your main task in the club room is to train yourself, and playing with your phone is just incidental, then there shouldn't be any problem. For instance, if you can stay in the club room for 5 hours a day, you dedicate 4 hours to training, and for the remaining 1 hour, you sneakily catch up on your dramas. As long as you're discreet about it, I reckon nobody would notice."

"Bwoo?!"

Eevee suddenly spotted a loophole and spun around, the corners of its mouth lifting slightly.

In the club room, Fang Yuan wouldn't be able to monitor it all the time; when the time came, it could play as long as it wanted, who would know?

Wiping the drool from its mouth, Eevee turned back seriously, nodding at Fang Yuan.

It absolutely couldn't resist this temptation.

"Bwoo!"

Eevee called out seriously, agreeing to Fang Yuan's request.

"Very good."

Fang Yuan smiled with satisfaction, then followed up.

"By the way, Eevee, do you know about Youth Mode?"

"Bwoo?" Eevee asked, puzzled.

"Youth Mode is a time-limit program, set up so you can manage your time sensibly and not get addicted to your phone. Starting tomorrow, I will set a time limit of 1 hour on your phone, after which it will automatically shut down and you'll need a password to continue using it, so don't even think about slacking off," Fang Yuan said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Eevee was shocked.

What kind of Tumor Mode was this?

"However, you don't need to worry about having too little time to play," Fang Yuan said with a smile: "The time can be extended. If you perform well, it could be extended by 1 hour, 2 hours, or even up to 5 hours without a problem."

"Next, I will set up several indoor training tasks for you."

"Every time you achieve a stage goal, I will extend the time a bit. As long as you work hard enough, eventually, 1 hour will become 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours... In a few months, the time you spend on your phone could far exceed the time required for training."

Eevee got it.

Tossing and turning, Fang Yuan just wanted it to train.

Coming up with such a "Youth Mode" to scare it was downright devilish.

"Bwoo..."

Eevee really wanted to resist, but then it thought again, being able to play with the phone was already quite nice. Otherwise, it would just be sitting inside the Poké Ball, which was even more boring.

After pondering once more... Eevee suddenly collapsed, indeed unable to resist.
