I really can't control myself

Obviously, the introduction of numerical content is indeed a good way to explain the strength and weakness. It sounds much easier to get started than just saying words such as "very strong" and "okay".

Zhu Weihao here seems to be very interested in strength, and he also carefully inquired about the specific values ​​​​of the Pokémon he knew. For example, the final evolution of Bulbasaur is 525, and the final evolution of Ghost is 500. It is indeed roughly the same. Now you have an idea of ​​the strength of Pokémon.

Sure enough, there is still a big difference between boys and girls in this aspect. Zhu Weihao and Zhang Fengqiao obviously care more about intensity, while the two girls are obviously not so aggressive, especially Xu Liyun, who seems to have never imagined her Pokémon. There will be fights with other people.

"As long as a single race value exceeds 100, it is considered a field in which it is very good. Therefore, Gengar's special attack is 130, which means he is very good at special attack. I understand it correctly." Zhu Weihao confirmed here.

"Yes, there are very few Pokémon that surpass Gengar in terms of special attack. It is indeed a Pokémon that is very good at special attack." Linton nodded.

"I roughly understand the concept of effective racial values ​​you mentioned before." Zhang Fengqiao next to him understood it faster. "For example, Gengar is good at special attacks and generally does not use physically convenient attacks. The general training direction is also towards It was cultivated in the direction of specializing in special attack, which means that its attack attribute is completely ineffective and is almost never used at ordinary times, so it is an invalid attribute, even if it is 0, it doesn't matter. In other words, it can actually be used in combat. The effective attribute is the racial value minus the racial value of the attack."

"That's right, you understand really quickly." Linton was a little surprised. Fengqiao didn't talk much. When he asked questions, it was mostly Zhu Weihao who asked them, but he listened to them all. Listened and understood. Linton estimated that the other party would often play games. After all, many of his statements were from the Pokemon game, so he understood it relatively quickly. Zhu Weihao estimated that he rarely played games, so his understanding was slower.

"The acquired effort value you mentioned before, how to train it is more appropriate." Zhang Fengqiao took the initiative to ask this time. It seemed that he really planned to train his Pokémon well. At this time, he also knew his own My luck was so good that I decided to make some achievements in the training field. There are only so many opportunities in a person's life, and he knew that this time his chance had come.

"By defeating other Pokémon, you can get corresponding effort points, which you can understand as insights." Linton said, "For example, if you defeat some very fast Pokémon, you will have a high probability of getting speed effort points. Because if your Pokémon defeats them, you will gain speed insights and understand how to master speed. Do you understand what I say?"

"I see. For example, if my Pokémon defeats his Ghost, it will gain insights into special attacks. Is the effort worth the special attacks?" Zhang Fengqiao said immediately.

"That's right." Linton nodded, because defeating Gengar in the game does indeed gain special attack effort points. Generally speaking, hostile Pokémon gain effort points based on whatever they are good at.

"But my Pokémon, Iron Dumbbell, is not specialized in special attack, right?" Zhang Fengqiao suddenly said, "Looking at it, it should be good at physics..."

"That's right, Metagross's physical attack value is 135. Although the special attack is not low at 95, it is still far behind the attack of 135. It is better to cultivate towards strengthening the physical attack. After all... …Effort value is limited,” Linton said.

"What? The value of effort is limited?" Zhang Fengqiao and Zhu Weihao said in shock at the same time. Zhu Weihao didn't ask carefully before and didn't know about the limited effort value. He felt that although his family had many resources and it was easy to find a training partner, his Pokémon must be fully developed in a hexagonal manner. , but when he heard this, he was really surprised.

"To be precise, there is an upper limit. You can understand it as a Pokémon. There is a limit to what a Pokémon can perceive. Once it reaches a limit, it will be difficult to grow no matter how hard you work." Linton said.

"Then what is the limit..." Zhu Weihao asked immediately.

"If we assume that the effort value gained by defeating a Pokémon is between 1 and 3 points, then as a basis, the maximum effort value a Pokémon can earn after defeating it is 510," Linton said.

"In other words, after defeating at most 510 Pokémon, this Pokémon's effort value growth will reach the upper limit?" Zhu Weihao asked.

"Yes, but some Pokémon will get more effort points at one time because of their higher strength, so I would say it is between 1-3." Linton said.

"At most 510 points..." Zhang Fengqiao nodded.

"Another point is that the maximum effort value obtained by a single attribute is 252 points. In short, after reaching this value, this attribute will not be able to obtain an increase in effort value." Linton continued, "In other words, according to the limit optimization , and can only obtain specializations on 2 attributes."

"I see, that's why I just said that we need specialized training." Zhang Fengqiao immediately understood why Linton said that special training was needed before. At first, he thought Linton was telling them the initial training plan, but now it seems that it is not only that, this It is to teach them the overall training ideas.

"Then the cultivation of effort value should be concentrated and specialized, and two special training directions should be chosen?" Zhu Weihao asked.

"My opinion is, focus. Spread your fingers instead of making a fist. I have just told you about the effective and invalid racial values. There is no way to control the innate ones, but the nurture can be controlled by humans. If you want to seriously train Pokémon, you must do your best." Linton said, clenching his fists.

"I see, I understand. Thank you to the shop owner for your guidance." Zhu Weihao here said immediately.

Zhang Fengqiao, who was standing next to him, was not in a hurry to thank him, but was seriously thinking about what Linton said. Linton seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, and said directly to him: "Don't think too much, this is your first Pokémon. You have no experience in cultivating it at all. Don't think of some messy training methods. Sometimes cleverness can be mistaken for cleverness." .”

"Ah, oh, yes, the shop owner." Zhang Fengqiao came to his senses immediately and said to Linton.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Zhu Weihao asked, not understanding the conversation between the two.

Linton also figured out that Zhang Fengqiao was more talented than Zhu Weihao as a trainer. What Zhang Fengqiao was thinking about just now was probably some SAO routine, such as dual swords, or the direction of training in weird specializations. It is indeed possible to do that. Linton had seen some inexplicable Pokémon when he was playing games before, and he had played some of them himself, but just like what he said, the first Pokémon had no training experience at all. Use the regular routines, and then play some weird routines after you have enough training experience.

"Since the effort value can be controlled, that means we can arrange some special battles to solidify the growth of the effort value." Zhu Weihao here continued, "Sparring practice..."

"Yes, but you still have to fight seriously when fighting. You can't get any insights from acting," Linton said.

"If the direction of training is wrong, is there any chance to regret it?" Zhang Fengqiao suddenly asked.

"Yes... indeed there is." Linton said, "There are some special tree fruits that can wash away some effort points when eaten, but at the moment, the above are still researching them."

The tree fruits that Linton mentioned to wash the effort value do exist, at least they exist in the game, and they also exist in this world.

Didn't Lu Ping just tell him that many plants from the Pokémon world also appear in this world, including cones and of course some tree fruits. As for what kind of fruits these fruits are, Linton can't fully identify them. He asked Lu Ping and Asuna to contact them to identify them. They should be able to put together an identification plan later.

But Linton doesn't know when this information will be released, at least it won't be released now. Because these fruits are now available all over the world, but it is not like the technology of the Poké Ball is only mastered by China. If it is to be announced, it must at least benefit from it. Otherwise, why would the information here be provided to you in vain?

"There are also some tools that can increase the growth rate of the effort value of a certain attribute." Linton continued.

"Really? I bought it." Zhu Weihao said immediately, without asking the price at all.

"I don't really have the power mirror for the special attack direction, but I do have the power wristbands for the special attack direction," Linton said.

"Really?" Zhang Fengqiao next to him was happy when he heard this, but his face darkened immediately. There is something in stock, but he has no money. The 390,000 he took out before is already all the working capital his family can come up with. If he wants to buy more, he has to sell cars and houses.

"How much does it cost, boss? It's okay, brother. I can lend it to you first without any interest. You are a trainer now, so you can probably pay it back right away." Zhu Weihao next to him immediately took the initiative.

He was definitely willing to borrow this little money, and he didn't even think about asking the other party to pay it back. He doesn't care about the money, the important thing is the favor. Not to mention that trainers themselves are scarce nowadays, this is a trainer who has a quasi-god Pokémon. With this little investment in favors, he will naturally be a good person.

"Uh... that..." Zhang Fengqiao has never asked anyone to borrow money since he was a child. Although their family is not that rich, they are not short of food and clothing. He himself is the kind of person who doesn't feel comfortable borrowing money from others. Under normal circumstances, he will definitely not take the initiative to lend. But now he also knows that training Pokémon is an important matter. On the other hand, they borrowed it on their own initiative...

"The price of props is generally relatively high, especially this kind of special prop." Linton said and looked at Liu Ying beside him, "By the way, do you need the moon stone for Pippi's evolution?"
