After arranging the renovations, Mu Qingzhu rode her Pidgeot back home.
It was already night when she arrived home, and Mu Qingzhu planned to take a bath before resting.
While bathing, Mu Qingzhu remembered that she hadn't checked the refreshed instant-kill mall today, so she opened it.
"Junior Psychic Power — 999"
"Special berry Gift Pack — 99.9"
The moment Mu Qingzhu saw Psychic Power, she bought it without hesitation. Then, she checked her panel.
"Host: Mu Qingzhu"
"System Points: 1000"
"Pokémon:"
"Abilities: Super Masara Body, Advanced Tokiwa Power, Junior Psychic Power, advanced energy cube production"
"Items: Unknown Pokémon Egg, Ralts Pokémon Egg, Snivy Pokémon Egg, Luxury Ball × 6, berry Gift Pack × 1, Junior Rare Candy × 200, S-rank Twisted Spoon, S-rank Miracle Seed, Junior Aptitude Enhancer × 6"
Seeing that the berry Gift Pack hadn't been opened yet, Mu Qingzhu opened it.
"Ding ~ You received 100 Liechi Berries, 100 Ganlon Berries, 100 Salac Berries, 100 Petaya Berries, 100 Apicot Berries, 100 Lansat Berries, 100 Starf Berries, 100 Micle Berries, 100 Custap Berries, 100 Jaboca Berries."
Mu Qingzhu saw these rare berries and decided to buy some more, planning to make all of them into energy cubes tomorrow.
After making her purchases, Mu Qingzhu returned to her room to rest.

With 4 days left until the high school entrance exam, Mu Qingzhu still woke up in the morning for exercise as usual. After breakfast, the berries she had purchased last night were delivered in the morning.
Mu Qingzhu first tried out the Psychic Power she had obtained last night. She found that she could currently only lift a cup about 10cm off the table. It seemed that in addition to her daily exercise, she would also need to train her Psychic Power.
Then, she began making energy cubes.
— — — —
Thanks to the Psychic Power, she could make energy cubes much better. Normally, it would take until evening, but today she finished in the afternoon.
Current total energy cubes: Junior energy cube × 10 cans, Intermediate energy cube × 20 cans, advanced energy cube × 50 cans, perfect-grade energy block × 0.5 cans, Grass-type energy cube × 10 cans, Psychic-type energy cube × 10 cans, Fairy-type energy cube × 10 cans, Ability-boosting energy cube × 100 cans.
After inventorying her recent energy cubes, Mu Qingzhu realized that once her two Pokémon hatched, there would be enough food for them for half a year.
Since she finished making energy cubes earlier today, Mu Qingzhu searched online for some training guides for Ralts and Snivy, as well as Psychic Power training tutorials.
Gardevoir has low physical defense and HP, high special attack and special defense, and moderate speed; Serperior has high speed but is relatively average in other stats.
After considering the base stats of Gardevoir and Serperior, Mu Qingzhu formulated initial training plans for the two little ones. Then, she went to rest.

With 3 days left until the high school entrance exam, Mu Qingzhu still exercised in the morning as usual. After breakfast, Mu Qingzhu prepared to meditate according to the tutorial.
—
At noon, Mu Qingzhu ended her meditation and tried to lift the water cup again. This time, it was about 12cm off the table, showing improvement from last time.
Then Mu Qingzhu thought that the high school entrance exam was coming soon. Although she still remembered most of the theoretical knowledge clearly, this was not her previous life, and it wouldn't be exactly the same, so she decided to review it again.
— — — —
These past few days, in addition to her daily exercise, Mu Qingzhu was mostly reviewing.
On the day of the high school entrance exam, the three of them arrived together outside the examination hall.
"Did you all study well these past few days?"
Xia Bing asked.
"I was busy taking care of my Pokémon eggs a few days ago, and only started reviewing in the last few days."
Bai Ou thought for a moment before replying.
"Hearing you say that, I'm relieved. I was also busy taking care of my Pokémon eggs these past few days."
Xia Bing was relieved to hear what Bai Ou said.
"Qingzhu, you didn't secretly review, did you?"
"No, I've been researching online about precautions after Pokémon hatch these past few days."
Mu Qingzhu replied.
"Since the three of us are usually in the top 3 of our grade, as long as we perform normally in the high school entrance exam, there won't be any problems."
Then the three of them walked into the examination hall, waiting for the exam to begin.
The high school entrance exam in this world was different from her previous life; here, only two subjects were tested: one Pokémon theory exam, which was a written test, and the other was a battle. Although most people bought Pokémon Eggs and hadn't hatched them, for the exam, they battled against an examiner using Pokémon arranged by the Alliance.
Then the exam bell rang, and the theory exam began.

Mu Qingzhu glanced at the questions, found them too simple, and quickly began answering.
With two and a half hours for the exam, Mu Qingzhu finished writing in 45 minutes, then spent another 15 minutes rechecking. After confirming there were no issues, she submitted her paper early.
After submitting her paper, Mu Qingzhu went to the gymnasium to begin the battle exam.
The examination staff handed Mu Qingzhu three Poké Balls. Mu Qingzhu looked at them: one Onix, one Vaporeon, and one Weepinbell. Their levels were generally around 25.
The examiner then said to Mu Qingzhu,
"Defeating one of my Pokémon is a pass, two is good, and three is a perfect score."
"May I begin?"
"Yes."
Mu Qingzhu replied coldly.
The examiner first sent out Krabby. After a glance at Krabby, Mu Qingzhu sent out Weepinbell.
The examiner was bewildered to see a Grass-type Pokémon and reluctantly allowed Mu Qingzhu to go first.
Mu Qingzhu then commanded Weepinbell,
"Use Growth."
"Krabby, charge forward and use Metal Claw."
The examiner commanded Krabby.
"Dodge and use Sleep Powder."
Mu Qingzhu commanded unhurriedly.
Weepinbell immediately dodged Krabby's Metal Claw.
"Use Bubble Beam to block Sleep Powder."
The examiner shouted anxiously.
"Continue using Growth."
Seeing that Sleep Powder missed, Mu Qingzhu continued to power up.
"Krabby, use Mud Shot to stop Weepinbell from powering up."
The examiner thought that if he continued to let it power up, Krabby wouldn't be able to withstand it.
"Endure it, use Vine Whip to grab Krabby, then use Poison Powder along the Vine Whip."
Seeing the examiner getting a bit anxious, she had Weepinbell take the hit and use Vine Whip to grab Krabby.
With Poison Powder hitting, Krabby became poisoned. The examiner, seeing Krabby's poisoned state, conceded.
The subsequent two battles also ended with Mu Qingzhu's victory.
Afterward, Mu Qingzhu found a spot nearby to sit and wait for Xia Bing and Bai Ou to finish their exams.
Then the three of them went home together.
The day after the high school entrance exam, Mu Qingzhu exercised in the morning as usual. Upon returning, she replaced the incubation fluid in the incubator. Not long after she finished, both eggs emitted a strong white light.
Under Mu Qingzhu's gaze, Ralts and Snivy both hatched. Mu Qingzhu then found a clean towel to wipe off the egg fluid from the two Pokémon, and the two Pokémon then ate their eggshells.
After eating, the two Pokémon fell asleep—
