Traveler's world-hopping is mainly divided into two types: one is going to worlds already visited, and the other is opening a new world's passage.
The Pokémon World was the first world Bai Luo traversed, and so far, the only one.
For this traversal, Bai Luo made ample preparations.
He spent half a month arming himself as much as possible before daring to open the door to a new world.
For his first traversal, Bai Luo landed in the Sinnoh region.
At that time, he was penniless and could only exchange the Cardinal World's ores he had prepared in advance with the residents of the local town.
Fortunately, the first world Bai Luo traversed was the Pokémon World.
As is well known, most people in the Pokémon World are warm, hospitable, and simple-minded.
This made Bai Luo's process of acquiring travel funds quite smooth.
With money, Bai Luo began to plan his itinerary.
The duration of the otherworldly gate opened by the Traveler's ability is not fixed; for example, the Pokémon World could only be maintained for a short seven days.
After that, he would be forcibly sent back to the Cardinal World.
Then he would have to wait 7 days for the cooldown before he could open it again.
Within seven days, the easiest and most cost-effective legendary Pokémon Bai Luo could think of to capture was Egui Peng.
Egui Peng's battle capabilities in the game are very strong, and her various mechanics are very powerful.
Furthermore, she has a gentle personality.
Although a bit mischievous, her nature is kind, and she fears loneliness, longing for closeness with others.
'Close proximity, low difficulty.'
'Other Pokémon still need to be trained, and I might not even encounter them.'
Only Egui Peng, once her location is clear, can be approached.
Having made up his mind, Bai Luo immediately bought a train ticket to Kitakami.
Bai Luo's luck was truly good.
He still remembered that day when Bai Luo climbed Mount Ogre and, in an empty cave, saw that pitiful, lonely figure clutching a jade-green mask.
No matter what Bai Luo's initial thoughts were,
At that moment, Bai Luo genuinely wanted to give her a warm home.
"Hello there, Egui Peng."
Thus, after some interaction and communication, Bai Luo successfully gained Egui Peng's favor and helped her retrieve her lost mask: "Do you want to come with me and see the outside world?"
What Kitakami villains, what beastly Three Treasures.
Bai Luo used this super Cardinal World body to show them what true strength was!
Yes, he didn't need Pokémon at all.
Alone, with just his fists, Bai Luo single-handedly swept through the entire Kitakami!
Of course, Bai Luo didn't actually harm anyone.
At most, he destroyed the shrine where the masks were enshrined and gave Momotarō a powerful skull-crushing blow.
All in all, Bai Luo's trip to the Pokémon World was very successful.
He took Peng Peng with him and also gained the abilities of Energy Cube Creation and Spirit Space, which are defined as 'magic' in the Cardinal World.
As the name suggests, Energy Cube Creation allows Bai Luo to transform fruits into Energy Cubes of various flavors.
After the world's transformation, Energy Cubes are not only suitable for Egui Peng but can also be consumed by ordinary people.
Their nature is more like the compressed biscuits from Bai Luo's previous life, condensing a large amount of nutrition into a small cube.
As for Spirit Space, it was the result of the world's voice analyzing the Poké Ball after Bai Luo returned with it.
The Poké Ball disappeared, replaced by a personal space that Bai Luo possessed, capable of storing his dependents.
These were all the benefits Bai Luo gained from the Pokémon World using his Traveler ability.
"It's time to leave."
Bai Luo turned around and glanced at the distant village, with little reluctance in his eyes.
This land belonged to the Falmuth Kingdom.
Having read the original novel, Bai Luo knew how deplorable this country was.
The nobles levied exorbitant taxes, lived lives of extravagance and debauchery, and cared nothing for the lives of ordinary people.
Furthermore, the humans here had an extreme aversion to monsters, which naturally included mixed-blood demons like Bai Luo.
Bai Luo's race, mixed-blood demon, refers to the offspring of demons and humans.
However, perhaps because the era was too ancient, the demon bloodline within Bai Luo was too diluted.
Before awakening his memories, he had not displayed any characteristics different from ordinary humans.
But even so, Bai Luo's life in the village was still difficult.
The idea that monsters are evil was deeply ingrained in Falmuth, and mixed-blood demons like Bai Luo were also discriminated against by the people.
This kind of life continued until a month ago.
On that day, Bai Luo suddenly awakened his memories from his previous life and then heard the world's voice.
The world's voice bestowed upon Bai Luo the Unique Skills of Traveler, Leader, and Capturer.
And besides the extraordinary Traveler, Capturer allowed Bai Luo to acquire dependents through contracts.
This Unique Skill is somewhat similar to the 'Beast Tamer' profession, only more convenient and powerful.
As for Leader...
It has a complementary relationship with Capturer.
Whenever Bai Luo gains a dependent, the latter's existence value will, to a certain extent, feed back to Bai Luo, increasing his existence value.
Similarly, as Bai Luo's existence value increases, his dependents will also benefit.
The so-called existence value is a special definition within the Reincarnated Slime worldview.
Existence value is somewhat like combat power, but it is not entirely linked to strength; rather, it affects the individual's total magic essence and the rank they possess.
Like Egui Peng, after she came to the Cardinal World, she was automatically granted the Unique Skills of Destroyer and Growth by the world's voice.
She also gained the energy system collectively known as magic essence.
If it were the original Egui Peng, even if she were a legendary Pokémon from Scarlet and Violet, mastering various Pokémon moves, in the Cardinal World, at most she would only receive a D-rank evaluation.
However, because of Bai Luo's Capturer Unique Skill,
A master-servant relationship was established between Egui Peng and Bai Luo.
This allowed her to be recognized by this world upon returning to the Cardinal World.
"Existence value?"
Egui Peng could also see her own status panel, and she pointed to a certain attribute and asked, "Is it this thing called magic essence?"
"Yes, it is."
Bai Luo praised, "Peng Peng is amazing; she has 6500 magic essence, which already meets the B-rank standard in the Cardinal World."
"B-rank?"
Egui Peng asked in confusion, "What about Bai Luo?"
"As for me,"
Bai Luo looked at his 3500 magic essence and said, "Probably C-rank."
In this world, apart from ordinary animals, races harmful to humans are collectively referred to as 'monsters'.
Among them, highly intelligent races are 'demons', and human-shaped monsters with powerful strength are 'demon people'.
Based on the danger level of these monsters, a simple classification system has been freely combined for them:
"Special S (Calamity Level): A level that a single nation cannot handle; humanity must unite various nations to deal with it, concerning the survival of humanity.
S (Disaster Level): A level that can be handled by deploying the combat power of a major nation.
Special A (Catastrophe Level): Possesses a danger level capable of threatening an entire nation.
A (Hazard Level): A level where cities will suffer severe damage.
B: Black Spiders, Great Ogre Clan, etc., individuals capable of destroying a village.
C: Lizardmen, Pegasi, etc., slightly stronger than professional soldiers who have undergone combat training.
D: Pighead Clan, etc., where 3 to 4 ordinary adults facing them also risk their lives.
E: Goblins, etc., slightly weaker than ordinary adults, always appearing in groups.
F: No combat power."
According to the calculation of existence value and magic essence amount, the current Egui Peng is roughly comparable to a B-rank Great Ogre Clan, possessing the powerful destructive ability to single-handedly slaughter a village of several hundred people.
If combined with her Destroyer Unique Skill and the Growth ability that can continue to make her stronger, Egui Peng's actual combat power and potential would be even higher.
In short, one sentence...
Bai Luo gently patted Egui Peng's head and happily said, "My Peng Peng has the potential to be a Demon Lord Seed!"
