[Name: Botamon (Unhatched)]
[Type: Digi-Egg]
[Hatching Time: 12 Hours]
Seeing the information on the Digivice, Leon’s expression instantly changed, and his heart became incomparably excited.
He knew what Botamon meant.
If he had to say which Digimon he liked the most, it was naturally Yagami Taichi’s Agumon.
And the Digi-Egg in his hand was precisely Agumon’s original form.
He knew Botamon’s evolution route.
From Koromon, Agumon, Greymon, MetalGreymon, and finally evolving into WarGreymon.
When it fused with MetalGarurumon, it could even evolve into the legendary Royal Knight Omnimon!
However, before that day arrived, he still had a long road ahead of him.
Leon calmed down his excited emotions before looking toward the blue light nearby.
Within the blue light was a card.
On the card was drawn a tall and mighty figure.
It was a lion-headed humanoid beastman with golden mane, powerful muscles, pants on its lower body, and a long sword hanging at its waist.
[Name: Leomon]
[Type: Monster Card]
[Rank: Rare]
[Attached Effect: Can summon Leomon for battle.
Duration: Five Minutes]
[Note: This DigiCard is a one-time-use item]
“Mirei, what exactly are DigiCards?” Leon asked while looking at the card in his hand.
“There are three types of DigiCards: Monster Cards, Item Cards, and Skill Cards.”
Mirei patiently explained, “Monster Cards can summon Digimon for battle.
Item Cards can use Digimon weapons and equipment.
Skill Cards can unleash Digimon special moves.”
Leon’s expression became surprised.
He had not expected such a small card to possess such power.
Unfortunately, the summon duration of Monster Cards was limited.
Finally, he cast his gaze toward the white light.
Within the white light was a pile of gold coins.
On the coins was engraved a Digimon design—Agumon’s head.
[DigiCoins X40]
[DigiCoins X60]
[DigiCoins X20]
…
[DigiCoins X20]
[DigiCoins X30]
Leon counted them.
There were a total of 400 DigiCoins.
“Mirei, how do DigiCoins exchange for Digi Supply Boxes?” He remembered what Mirei said earlier and asked.
“According to system regulations, you need to pay 100 DigiCoins to exchange for one Supply Box.” Mirei answered.
Not bad.
With 400 DigiCoins, he could exchange for four more Supply Boxes.
This wave was not a loss.
So now, Leon’s personal information looked like this:
[Name: Leon Adams]
[Level: 1]
[DigiCoins: 400]
[Abilities: ???]
[Equipment: ???]
[Items: Monster Card: Leomon]
[Remaining Digi Supply Boxes: 1]
[Digimon: Botamon (Unhatched)]
“Oh right, where’s that DigiShop?
Why can’t I find it?” Leon tapped around the Digivice several times but did not discover this function.
At that moment, the originally flickering screens on the tree behind Mirei suddenly bloomed with light, transforming into four blue floating panels that appeared before Leon. You are reading on novelping dot com, the official source.
“Besides the four built-in functions on the Digivice, there are several other functions you can only use inside the DigiLab.” Mirei looked at him and said.
Leon walked forward several steps and looked at the blue panels in the air.
There were four functions displayed on them.
DigiShop, DigiHealing Room, DigiTraining Ground, and DigiNursery Room.
Without hesitation, he opened the DigiShop function.
The variety of goods inside was dazzling.
[Basic Strength Potion]
[Monster Card: MagnaAngemon]
[Monster Card: MetalSeadramon]
[Spirit of Darkness (Human Form)]
…
[X-Antibody]
However, the prices of these items were ridiculously expensive.
Even the cheapest Basic Strength Potion cost 500 DigiCoins, while legendary-grade items like the X-Antibody required an astronomical amount of DigiCoins.”Can DigiCoins only be obtained from Digi Supply Boxes?” Leon asked with a poor expression on his face.
“You can also recharge money to exchange for DigiCoins.” Mirei answered.
“Recharge money?” Leon did not understand what she meant.
“It means exactly what it sounds like.”
Mirei said calmly, “The DigiCoins of the Digimon System can also be exchanged using real-world currency.
Currently, the exchange rate between US dollars and DigiCoins is 100:1.”
“You’ve got to be kidding me…”
Leon could not believe his ears and could not help complaining, “100 DigiCoins equals 10,000 US dollars?
Why don’t you just rob people instead?!”
“And needing 10,000 dollars just to open one Supply Box is way too expensive!
Where am I supposed to get that much money?!”
“This side recommends that you rob a bank.” Mirei calmly said.
“…”
Leon rolled his eyes.
“Easy for you to say.
What if I get injured?”
“There is no need to worry even if you get injured.
The DigiHealing Room is a place for treating Digimon.
Injuries Digimon suffer in the real world generally cannot recover by themselves.
You need to bring them to the DigiHealing Room for treatment and recuperation.”
“Then how can I heal Digimon?” Leon asked curiously.
“You only need to pay DigiCoins to heal injured Digimon.
Depending on the severity of the injuries, the amount of DigiCoins required will also differ.”
Leon: “!”
Exchanging for Digi Supply Boxes required DigiCoins, buying things required DigiCoins, and now even healing Digimon required DigiCoins too.
It was simply a bottomless pit!
It seemed that if he wanted to obtain a large amount of DigiCoins in a short period of time, there was only one method left.
That was—
Spending money!
Leon felt that the Digimon System had finally revealed its true nature.
Do you want to become stronger, young man?
Then spend money.
Only spending money can make you stronger!
“The DigiTraining Ground is a place for Digimon to undergo simulated training and practice combat.
We can discuss it later after your Digimon hatches.” Mirei continued introducing the remaining functions.
“Lastly, I’ll show you Digimon growth and evolution.”
Under Mirei’s guidance, they arrived at the DigiNursery Room.
Everywhere within sight were incubation chambers, each one just large enough to hold a Digi-Egg.
“Here, Digi-Eggs can be incubated.
If you place a Digi-Egg into an incubation chamber, the hatching time will also be shortened.”
Mirei continued, “In the future, if you have extra Digi-Eggs that you do not want to hatch, you can also store them here.”
“Mirei, what is that?”
Leon pointed toward a massive platform not far away and asked.
It was a circular metal platform with a ring of mysterious words and symbols engraved upon it.
In other words, the place where Digimon evolve.” Mirei explained.
“When your Digimon’s Growth Value is full, you can come here to evolve it.
Of course, some Digimon require special items or special conditions in order to evolve.”
“Growth Value?”
“Growth Value is closely related to a Digimon’s growth.
Every battle and your companionship will continuously increase this value.
Once your Digimon hatches, you will understand.”
“So, do you want to place your Digi-Egg here?” Mirei looked at Leon and asked.
“No, I want to bring it back.
It’s only 12 hours anyway.
Botamon will hatch before tomorrow morning.” Leon shook his head.
“It seems you already have your own plans.” Mirei adjusted her glasses.
“Do you have any other questions to ask me?”
“One final question.
Why was I brought to this place?”
Leon stared into Mirei’s eyes and asked, “Didn’t you say the Digimon System chose me?
But… why would the Digimon System appear in the Marvel Universe?”
This was also the question he had most wanted to ask ever since transmigrating here.
Since Mirei was the administrator of the Digimon System and possessed extremely high authority, she should know the answer.
“I’m sorry.” Mirei gently shook her head.
“I cannot answer that question right now.”
“When the time is right, you will naturally understand everything.”
Leon smacked his lips, resisting the urge to roll his eyes.
Great.
Hearing your words was like hearing your words.
What an old riddle person.
Mirei’s meaning was very obvious.
She definitely knew something, but due to certain reasons, she at least could not tell him right now.
“Alright, Leon.
You already understand enough for now.” Mirei continued, “Let’s stop here for today.
You can go back and rest.”
“Alright then.”
Leon rubbed his head.
Today had been far too long.
First transmigration, then working, then catching a thief, and now understanding the general outline of the entire Digimon System…
The amount of information was simply too huge.
He needed to go back and properly digest it.
After saying goodbye to Mirei, Leon returned to his room.
Leon placed the Digi-Egg on the bedside cabinet.
He glanced at the clock.
It was currently 9 PM, which meant Botamon would hatch before 9 tomorrow morning.
Buzz buzz…
At that moment, his phone rang several times.
They were many strange text messages from different contacts.
“There’s nobody home tonight.
Can you come find me?” — Jennifer
“I’ll be waiting at the usual place.
You have to come.” — Lillian
“I bought a new set of pajamas.
Do you want to come see them?” — Victoria
…???
There were more than ten such messages, all from different girls, and some girls even sent several indescribable photos.
Holy crap, this guy was truly an expert sea king!
Leon did not dare continue looking.
He was afraid he would not be able to sleep tonight.
He simply pressed the power button to turn the phone off, then tossed it aside and collapsed straight into bed.
However, Leon did not notice that the Digi-Egg on the bedside cabinet was slowly cracking open with a tiny fissure…
