Chapter 95: Worried Old People

Wu didn't know if you were joking with me, but I still suggest that you shouldn't do this kind of thing.

Wu said, "I've reviewed your work records from the Lake of Rage. If you're interested in things like fighting crime, would you like to join me in the investigation system after graduation?"

Zhusuihan shook his head. "No, I don't want to be restricted by the system. My plan right now is to travel after graduation, anywhere is fine."

Hearing you describe Viridian Forest in such exaggerated terms, I really want to see what it's like.

"Then you have to be careful. The Pokémon inside are still quite fierce."

Wu said, "In my opinion, the current Viridian Forest already has the potential to become a high-risk area like Silver Mountains."

Zhusuihan's interest piqued. "Compared to the Dragon's Lair in your Smoky City?"

Wu thought for a moment. "The top-tier combat power is currently lacking a bit, but there's potential for the future."

They arrived at the government building, but just as they reached the door of the conference room, the bustling atmosphere inside, similar to a lively market, instantly stopped Zhusuihan in his tracks.

Wu's hand, which had just reached out to open the conference room door, also froze, and he silently withdrew it.

Compared to their relatively friendly atmosphere here, it seemed a bit off inside.

The reason was simple: the Long Emperor side hadn't expected Joey to have organized such a large legal team to come over.

Since the communication location was still set at Joey Academy, the Long Emperor clan subconsciously viewed the negotiation partners as Joey clan members.

Yeah, that person is also one of your Joey students, no issue.

Then Joey gave them a taste of reality.

Past affections, union colleagues?

Sorry, my family's precious student is a fresh, crisp big cabbage, and as elders, we naturally have to be thorough.

I'm very familiar with you, but I'm not familiar with your students.

Legal team, get to work!

The group Joey summoned, rather than being legal elites, were all pure litigation sharks.

As everyone knows, law is the underlying logic of a region's operation, just like the underlying code in a game.

And these high-level lawyer elites, the shysters, are the ones who spend all day looking for bugs in the code to profit themselves and those behind them.

People unfamiliar with legal provisions don't qualify to be shysters, not to mention their superpowered partners are even more skilled, they can detect even the slightest changes in expressions.

Then, the Long Emperor clan broke down. Several times they wanted to throw out their Pokémon and have a battle with Joey, but under the deterrent of the opponent's past battle records, they calmed down again.

Of course, the main reason for the breakdown was that the Long Emperor clan wanted some small exclusive benefits.

By then, put Lumiose City, Galar Region, and the like behind me, this potion I, the Long Emperor clan, want!

I want to be a vicious middleman profiting from the margin, preferably in a quota system!

Since you want to make money like this, then Joey naturally won't indulge you, absolutely cannot let you take the students' research results at cabbage prices.

"It seems there's still a while before their conclusion."

This kind of thing should be left to professionals. Zhusuihan thought that if he went in, the Long Emperor clan's firepower would definitely turn to him.

This would give him the idea of wanting to open fire on the spot, making them calm down.

"I also don't plan to go in."

Wu, who possesses extraordinary powers, had already heard everything being said inside. In short, it boils down to one thing: it's not very suitable for them to get involved.

Not suitable, not suitable. With this bit of time, it's better to discuss with Zhusuihan and see if we can change the location and have another battle.

"I feel like this place is no longer suitable for us to enter, let's get out of here."

Zhusuihan asked, "It's also a rare opportunity, do you want to consider doing a full-body check on Fast Dragon? Our academy has plenty of machines."

"Full-body check, huh."

Recalling Zhusuihan's strange ability, Wu showed great interest. The two, with their partners, returned to the research room once again.

"Have those two kids left?"

"Left."

With these words, the conference room instantly fell silent. Joey leisurely picked up the teacup and took a sip, looking at the group of old men from the Long Emperor family who remained silent.

"Net-jie, no need, no need. This is just a small request. I think the two kids get along well, don't they?"

The elite legal team maintained their strict adherence to industry regulations, still with serious faces handling documents and drafting contracts.

That's right, both sides had already finished negotiating. What just happened was purely acting.

They watched the battle between Wu and Zhusuihan, it was a live broadcast from the venue's monitoring equipment.

If Zhusuihan's previous label was "genius researcher," which only made the Long Emperor family pay more attention, now it's different.

The old men and women of the Long Emperor family were so excited their hearts were about to explode, and their blood pressure might burst too.

Wu is great in many aspects, but he's too straightforward. Scheming and such, although he can't do it at all, but it's definitely at a barely passing level.

And now, they saw the appearance of someone who could chat with Wu and also had some dirty thoughts in their hearts. They had to use all means to let the two young people communicate more.

The only slightly regrettable part is that Zhusuihan is a boy, so they are destined to only be good partners.

Having thoughts that can keep up and similar strength has already made the old folks of the Long Emperor family quite excited.

The relationship between Pokémon and humans can be of many types, and humans can have close partnerships with each other.

With such a quirky and somewhat sinister idea giving Wu some boost, the Long Emperor clan's future star will definitely become even more excellent.

And agreeing to such a seemingly absurd thing, Joey actually had her own considerations.

Zhusuihan is this living fossil, great in many ways, but he's a bit too obsessed. In his eyes, besides money, it's his Pokémon.

To be accurate, a large part of the reason he values money is also for his Pokémon.

He needs to expand his social circle and pay attention to the students' mental health.

At the conventional level, marriage requires matching status, with demands on both material and spiritual levels.

It's impossible for me to be struggling with salary and benefits while you are thinking about wind and flowers snow and moon. So, Joey also thinks Wu is a good candidate for social expansion.

Both are quite fighters and value their Pokémon very much. These two points are enough.

Both parties hit it off immediately. When Wu and Zhusuihan came near the conference room, they started acting, mainly putting on a show.

It can only be said that Wu is still a bit too young. Having two extraordinary powers at the same time gave him a higher starting point, but he couldn't resist the scheming old folks in the conference room.

However, there's one thing they got wrong.

It's not that Zhusuihan can keep up with Wu's thoughts and have common topics, but that Wu has to understand Zhusuihan's nine curves and eighteen bends brain circuit.

Perhaps there's also a bit of "I have to be careful he becomes an outlaw madman" vigilance in his mind.

......

"Your Fast Dragon's body is really good."

Zhusuihan looked at the data on the screen. "Your usual training should be very careful. By the way, your Fast Dragon's ability should be multiple scales?"

Wu nodded. "Yes."

The significant features of this ability are directly reflected in the body. Under the premise of being relatively familiar with Fast Dragon's body structure, it's actually quite easy to distinguish.

Zhusuihan reached out and pinched Fast Dragon's arm. "Muscles are solid, ability energy is active. As long as we maintain this state, it won't be long before Fast Dragon's strength will advance further."

"Ke Liu?!"

Zhusuihan touched it, and Fast Dragon was frightened back a step, just like the protagonist in the hot-blooded manga who had comprehended a new skill, looking at his own arm with a blank face.

After just that touch, it seemed like he got a bit stronger?

At that time during the battle at the Cajje Gym, Fast Dragon was wary of Liu Bo's ice-type skill that was godlike.

But now Fast Dragon has a feeling that if he were back at gym battle, he had confidence to hard take the Blizzard with his right arm, at the cost of light injury forcefully switch faces to complete a trade one for one.

Wu's eyes also changed. It seems that Mini Dragon's perception back then wasn't his illusion.

"Um?"

Zhusuihan was a bit strange. "During the check just now, you had no old wounds or bruises on your body. Could it be that the machine is broken?"

Not likely, even if the machine is broken, it should only malfunction after using it, not during use.

It's confident like that with god-level luck.

"It seems you really don't know."

Wu frowned. "Is there some relatively secret place in the academy? What I want to say next might be a bit important for you."

Zhusuihan slowly drew a question mark.

?

Everyone was chatting well, suddenly becoming so serious what are they doing.

It's like at a good friends' gathering, someone suddenly pulls out a shotgun from their crotch and shoots into the sky, shouting "all of you squat down" while doing so.

......

At Big Lake, Zhusuihan was sitting on the shell of Gyarados, Wu riding Fast Dragon, beside them was the bodyguard team of Gyarados and Magikarp squad.

"No, do I have this ability?"

After listening to Wu's explanation, Zhusuihan had the first doubt of his life.

I didn't know I had this!

It's like an ordinary person inexplicably inheriting hundreds of millions in wealth, and still no warning.

Maybe when going out to buy baozi, someone gives you an asset transfer book.

"The situation is like this. When you were treating Mini Dragon, I felt something, but since it's an exception I didn't dare confirm."

Wu scratched his hair. "Mini Dragon has been in a period of strength rising recently, but after you pinched Fast Dragon just now, that situation appeared again."

Zhusuihan looked at Fast Dragon. "So the reason you dodged back just now wasn't because of some old injury, but because you didn't adapt to the suddenly increased power?"

"Fast Dragon."

Fast Dragon nodded seriously. Because the amplification was only on one arm, he still took some time to fully adapt to the feeling of the golden right arm.

Zhusuihan: ...

"You two?"

"Wu Wu."

"Mi Lu."

Gyarados and Little Fairy Milk decisively shook their heads. How could they feel such changes.

Gyarados is a carefree foodie Pokémon, and wouldn't be as sensitive to such changes as Fast Dragon, who is a main combat player.

Little Fairy Milk opened her eyes and saw Zhusuihan, to be accurate, she saw the nutrition supplement in the white-haired man's hand and above Gyarados's head.

What feeling could she have, she could only feel the trainer's love for her.

Zhusuihan held his forehead and sighed. The strength change of Gyarados is attributed to the potion itself, and the Magikarp might not have reacted yet after the decompression program.

If it weren't for Wu pointing out this matter today, Zhusuihan wouldn't even know he had this ability.

"Alright, this is indeed a bit dark under the lamp."

"It seems I can find another job, open a high-end massage parlor in a prosperous big city, customers have to make appointments and queue besides paying the fee."

"The business hours would depend on my mood."
