Inheriting The Family Business
As Yuga was contemplating how to handle Day Care, a voice suddenly echoed in his mind.
[ System loading complete, initiating host binding. ]
[ Host binding complete, scanning host information. ]
[ Host: Shimizu Yuga
Age: Sixteen
Gender: Male
Pokemon: Flabebe
Special Ability: None
Skills: None
Identity: Heir of YoYo Day Care. ]
[ The system has detected that the host has an inheritanceable industry, initiating industry binding. ]
[ Industry binding complete, system fully activated. ]
[ Re-scanning host information. ]
[ Host: Shimizu Yuga
Age: Sixteen
Gender: Male
Pokemon: Flabebe
Special Ability: None
Skills: None
Identity: Owner of YoYo Day Care ]
[ Scan complete, System 1314520 at your service. ]
This series of sounds left Yuga mind reeling. The only certain thing was that he had been bound to a system.
"Hey, what's with that system? Where are you?"
Yuga asked softly.
[ It's System 1314520. Host can communicate with me using consciousness, no need for speech. ]
"System 1314520, what kind of name is that? Are you kidding me?"
[ Not at all. ]
"Surely you must be. I can't believe your name is so casual. Tell me, what exactly is this system? How could it have such a random name?"
[ Once again, let me remind the host, System 1314520 is not joking. That's my name. ]
"Heh, heh, is that really your name?"
[ Absolutely. ]
"Well then, can you tell me how you ended up with me?"
[ I am a benefit for time travelers. Every time traveler is randomly assigned a system, and I happened to be assigned to you. My designation is 1314520, hence my name, System 1314520. ]
Upon hearing about other time travelers and systems, Yuga was greatly surprised.
"What? There are other time travelers too? Many of them? Where are they?"
[ In this world, you are the only time traveler. The others are in different worlds. Rest assured. ]
Hearing this, Yuga breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to compete with other time travelers.
"So, can I ask what your purpose is?"
[ I have already bound to your industry, YoYo Day Care. My role now is to 'make YoYo Day Care renowned throughout the Pokemon World. ]
After hearing the system words, Yuga felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
Make YoYo Day Care renowned throughout the Pokemon World?
But I just decided to sell Day Care. And why would I want Day Care to be famous throughout the Pokemon World?
"Can this binding be undone?"
[ Once bound, it cannot be undone. ]
"Can I sever the binding with the system?"
[ Severing the binding with the system will undoubtedly result in the host death. ]
Yuga felt hopeless.
"How could you decide my future career without my consent?"
[ This was determined based on the best and most favorable conditions around the host. Besides Day Care, you have nothing. ]
You don't have to say it; we're still good friends.
"So, what do we do next?"
[ Not we, it's up to you, the host. ]
"Alright then, it's me. Dear System 1314520, what should I do next?"
[ Reopen Day Care. ]
"Easy to say, but reopening Day Care is not that simple."
Yuga felt a bit discouraged. Just when he finally got a "cheat code," it turned out to be on the hardest difficulty.
He had no idea how to run a Day Care at all.
[ Reminding the host, you have an unclaimed novice gift package. ]
Yuga eyes lit up when he heard about the novice gift package.
This system wasn't completely useless after all.
"How do I claim the novice gift package?"
No sooner had Yuga asked when he felt a flash of white light in his mind, revealing a new interface.
At the top of the interface were the bold words "Backpack."
Below the words were ten square grids, the first one occupied by an icon resembling a package, labeled "Novice Gift Package."
[ Host can open it directly using consciousness. ]
Yuga used his consciousness to try and open the package.
[ Congratulations, host, on receiving:
<<Skill: Insight>>
(Special eyes that allow the owner to see a Pokemon aptitude, gender, traits, level, and skills.
Note: Aptitude of Pokemon eggs can only reveal aptitude.)
<<One vial of Basic Aptitude Evolution Potion>>
(One of the items that can evolve a Pokemon aptitude. It can raise the aptitude of Pokemon below the green level by one grade.)
<<One qualification for free shop decoration>>
(Allows the system to decorate the host shop for free.) ]
"Is that it? Just these three things?"
[ Host, please don't be greedy. If you want more rewards, you must strive for them yourself. ]
While Yuga complained about the modest rewards of the novice gift package, he was secretly elated.
All three items were valuable.
Firstly, there was the Insight skill.
Pokemon in the Pokemon world had varying aptitudes.
Their aptitudes ranged from lowest to highest: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple.
Higher aptitude indicated greater potential, achievements, and intelligence in a Pokemon future.
Pokemon of the same level with higher aptitudes were more powerful.
Humans couldn't discern a Pokemon aptitude with the naked eye.
Only after taming them could one see their aptitude through special devices or the alliance-issued Pokemon Handbook.
However, the Insight skill allowed Yuga to directly perceive a Pokemon aptitude, making it exceptionally powerful.
Next was the Basic Aptitude Evolution Potion.
A Pokemon aptitude was innate and challenging to alter.
Currently, there was no known drug in the Pokemon world capable of changing a Pokemon aptitude.
Of course, this didn't mean a Pokemon aptitude was unchangeable.
Rare treasures or special opportunities might alter a Pokemon aptitude.
Yuga Flabebe was indeed rare, but its aptitude was only yellow.
With this potion, its aptitude could be elevated to the green level.
The final reward proved to be a helpful tool for Yuga to reopen Day Care.
Now that he had inherited the family business, Yuga reluctantly had to become the owner of Day Care.
