is about to become the king of involution.

Chapter 36 is about to become the king of involution.

The wilderness is always very quiet at night, or rather, the Pokémon that come out at this time are all very quiet, and it is difficult to hear any extra noise.

Zhu Suihan found a few stones and arranged them in a circle to start a fire. Although Chenglong did not have fire-type abilities, there were other ways to start a fire.

“Wuwu!”

Trainer, use Flamethrower!

Zhu Suihan lit a flame with a lighter, then stacked up the charcoal she had bought from the convenience store, set up the small pot she had prepared, and cooked a hot soup with the ingredients inside.

A simple fruit and vegetable soup, served with a pre-made sandwich, and of course, plenty of energy cubes for added nutrition.

With charcoal as fuel, Zhu Suihan didn't need to use a stick to stir the flames.

Although the convenience store also sells some instant curry cubes, it's still the first meal in the wild, so Zhu Suihan decided to let himself feel involved first.

The fragrance gradually wafted out, and Zhu Suihan yawned. It wasn't from fatigue or drowsiness, but rather from a simple urge to sleep influenced by the environment, even though he still had plenty of energy.

Once the soup was cooked, Zhu Suihan ladled out his portion, placed the pot directly on the table, and put in the straw that Chenglong used for drinking.

The height of the table has also been adjusted to ensure that Chenglong can easily drink soup and eat by simply bending down.

Zhu Suihan picked up a sandwich, chewed it, thought for a moment, then dipped it in some vegetable soup, and it tasted completely different.

Chenglong's main skill is to suck up the soup and ingredients quickly. He then had Zhu Suihan put all the energy cubes into the soup pot to suck them up, which was more like playing around.

"This isn't bubble tea, be careful not to choke."

Zhu Suihan took a sip of soda and looked around at his surroundings.

There's a small river nearby, and woods on the other side, making it a pretty classic camping spot.

While preparing dinner ingredients, Zhu Suihan was still wondering if she would encounter a Pokémon that had been abandoned, or that had fainted beside her after a battle, just like Ash.

Looking back now, I realize I was overthinking things; this kind of experience isn't something you see everywhere.

“Wuwu!”

Having eaten and drunk its fill, the dragon moved into the river, its long neck resting on the water's surface, its posture somewhat resembling a human lying on a mattress.

Occasionally, the silhouettes of flying Pokémon would streak across the sky at extremely high speeds.

Zhu Suihan also saw two big ones chasing a small one. It looked like a big-billed sparrow was chasing a shrew. It was probably a case of catching a naughty child who hadn't come home at night. After catching up, a mixed doubles beating was probably inevitable.

If you can't even keep up with this speed, are you sure you two aren't using this opportunity to train your child's flying ability?

Lapras lay comfortably in the water, but remembering that her trainer hadn't finished, she quickly climbed ashore and rubbed against Bamboo Cold.

"Stop fooling around, your face is all wet."

Zhu Suihan said, "Go to sleep. I'll tidy up here and go to sleep too."

"Huh?"

Lapras was a little confused. She had been following along when Zhu Suihan was preparing supplies. "Trainer, you haven't prepared anything that humans need to prepare for sleeping in the wild?"

Even if you don't have a tent, what about your sleeping bag?

"The sky is my blanket and the earth is my bed. I've even slept on ice blocks back in the day. What's wrong with feeling the thickness of the earth?"

Zhu Suihan declared confidently, "Don't worry, even if I sleep like this, no Pokémon will dare to come over."

After working up a heavy workload recently, Chenglong has gradually gotten used to the taste of the sticky pills, and at least he doesn't have the same resistance as he did at the beginning.

If you put a few of them nearby, Zhu Suihan really doesn't believe that any Pokémon would be so curious as to come over and take a look.

Even if it really exists, then Zhu Suihan could consider catching a second Pokémon.

No matter your strength, you're not even afraid of Muddy Ball, are you?

Enough said, he has the bearing of an emperor!

"Waaah~"

Chenglong returned to the water and soon fell into a deep sleep. Zhu Suihan turned on the small lamp and began to study it by its light.

To ensure he gets enough sleep, Zhu Suihan uses his "cheat code" to extract knowledge every night and tries to study and understand it thoroughly.

"I thought this cheat would make me invincible, but it seems more like a sleep aid."

In addition to the essential camping supplies, Zhu Suihan also prepared a large amount of paper and pens to facilitate her in-depth study.

To be honest, whether Pokémon are cool, cute, or even ugly-cute, they all have the characteristics of their species.

However, upon closer examination, some of the findings are quite outrageous, though this is only Zhu Suihan's personal opinion.

For example, the tattered bag and the dust mountain, once someone forms a bond with them, their originally foul-smelling bodies will no longer have any strange smell.

According to research records, this seems to be something related to emotional energy, which Zhu Suihan guesses is somewhat similar to the one that Ash and Greninja have.

For example, phrases like "stand up" and "show your spirit" are probably also related to emotional energy.

Of course, the dust mountain and the tattered bag themselves have the ability to "tolerate the stench", but they may explode if left unattended for too long.

The most outrageous thing is that if foul-smelling venom oozes from the corner of the tattered bag's mouth, then nearby stinky mud and stinky sludge will rush over, drooling.

For them, the tattered bags that ingest garbage and pollutants, and the venom that flows from their mouths, are a superb feast with double the nutrition and deliciousness after being purified.

There's a kind of beauty in Shinnosuke wanting to drink the bathwater of an office lady.

Would you like to try Hong Kong-style milk tea?

"Although it's a bit extreme, it's also quite in line with the Pokémon ecosystem."

Polluted areas tend to breed creatures like sludge and gas bombs, but Zhu Suihan, since arriving in this world, has been a hardcore internet addict and hasn't seen any news about large-scale pollution.

Given the journalist's willingness to risk their life for news, it shouldn't be easy for them to hide.

It seems that Watari won't turn evil.

The ecosystem of Pokémon and the natural environment is somewhat complex, so I can only give a thumbs up to the rangers.

Compared to the difficulty of maintaining a large ecosystem, the poacher groups are probably nothing.

It's just a Pokémon battle, right? I can summon a whole forest of Pokémon to fight you with a single shout!

"Ecological saturation is also something that needs to be considered."

As is well known, some parks, wetlands and similar places often host various competitions and activities, including but not limited to insect catching and fishing.

The protective effect is becoming increasingly apparent, and the entire ecosystem is nearing saturation, so external forces are needed to alleviate the pressure.

Zhu Suihan put away the notebook, leaned against a big tree, and closed his eyes, feeling that the environmental and ecological report he had redeemed was a bit difficult to understand.

When it comes to the environment, adapting to local conditions is one of the few tricks, which is much more complicated than games like city building simulation.

In the game, you can choose to ignore the residents' objections, but that's impossible in reality. Protecting the ecological environment is extremely difficult without the cooperation of Pokémon.

"Joey Academy, I hope they don't give me an entrance exam, otherwise I'll just be seen as a quack doctor harming people."

Zhu Suihan fell asleep, with the sky as her blanket and the earth as her bed, and the big tree in the middle could perhaps be considered her pillow.

To be honest, without a sleeping bag and tent, even with a campfire nearby, passing trainers might think that Zhu Suihan had encountered some kind of accident and passed out.

"It was alright, I slept well."

Just as dawn was breaking, Juan Wangzhu woke up, picked up yesterday's notes and flipped through them, then glanced in Chenglong's direction; he was still asleep.

"Never mind, let's make breakfast."

Breakfast was quite simple: Moo Moo milk with tree fruit and white rice porridge, and some cold dishes made with sour tree fruits and seasonings.

It's not wrong to think of it as a spicy and sour salad.

The cold appetizer was specially made by Zhu Suihan. In addition to tree fruits, ingredients such as wood ear mushrooms were also added. Then, Chenglong used the freezing ray to freeze it and put it into the incense burner.

"Waaah."

After smelling the fragrance, Chenglong was half-asleep and slowly walked towards Zhu Suihan, resting his head on Zhu Suihan's shoulder, but he just didn't want to leave because of the fragrance.

"Be careful, the pot is very hot."

Zhu Suihan stirred the pot with a spoon, and then turned off the heat.

As usual, I served myself, poured Moo Moo Milk into the dragon's portion, added freshly made energy cubes, and chopped some tree fruit to increase the sweetness.

"Would you like me to pour some of the cold dish in too? You'll probably like it."

“Wuwu!”

Chenglong resolutely refused, and while eating breakfast, he secretly glanced at Zhu Suihan with a wary look, afraid that the other party might get playful and add something to his pot.

White rice porridge is fragrant, sticky, and sweet; it tastes different whether paired with cold side dishes or milk.

If it weren't for the fact that he was in a hurry to register at the college, Zhu Suihan would have been interested in making himself a meal of soy milk, fried dough sticks, and rice porridge.

After the meal, Chenglong used a water gun to extinguish the remaining flammable materials in the campfire. After Zhu Suihan finished cleaning up, he came over and poured out two boxes of energy cubes, placing them on a rock.

Well, this is the rent for locals, or you could say that Zhu Suihan is clearing out his inventory.

“Wuwu!”

Chenglong nudged Zhu Suihan with its head, then turned to look at the river, before turning back to look at the other with an expectant expression.

"Wait while I look at the map."

Zhu Suihan guessed that this was another instance of Chenglong's "like to carry people" dolphin-like nature acting up, so he decided to travel by water.

However, to be fair, carrying Zhu Suihan at the speed of a dragon would definitely be faster than walking.

"This river actually seems to lead to the vicinity of Manjin City?"

Zhu Suihan was a little surprised. He had only considered the habits of riding dragons, so he found a place near a water source. He didn't expect to find a shortcut.

Since that was the case, Zhu Suihan nodded and walked into the river with Chenglong, gently settling onto Chenglong's back.

It's also because Zhu Suihan's thinking is a bit narrow-minded. His concept of high-speed travel is limited to the air, and he hasn't really thought about rivers.

"Let's go. Let me know if you get tired."

“Wuwu!”

tired?

How could I be tired? You're not Snorlax, Trainer!

A fighting spirit was burning in Chenglong's eyes.

Path confirmed.

In perfect condition.

Dragon Boat, start!

surf!

The water surged and the dragon let out a high-pitched roar, like the song of sirens on the sea, riding the waves and accelerating forward in an instant!

Zhu Suihan:?

Okay, okay, so you're going to play it this way, huh?

If we can maintain this speed, not only will the rest of the journey take more than a week, but we'll probably be able to camp near Manjin City tonight, stay up a little longer, and then find a hotel in Manjin City!
