: Uncle Joey is officially online!

Chapter 39: Uncle Joey is officially online!

"Thanks, driver."

"etc."

The driver stopped Zhu Suihan, saying, "This is a school bus; it can drive directly into the school."

"You should have said so earlier."

Zhu Suihan sat down decisively: "Then please take me to the freshman registration area, or the office building, either is fine."

The driver paused for a moment: "So you're not here to visit relatives and friends, you're that transfer student."

Zhu Suihan hummed in agreement: "So I'm already this famous."

"That's right, kid, you've got quite the nerve."

The driver couldn't help but laugh: "Be glad you live in the teachers' dormitory area, not the students' dormitory. It's much quieter over there."

"Strictly speaking, that's true. Well, I'm also curious about what it's like to live in the same building as a bunch of female seniors."

Zhu Suihan's heart skipped a beat: "I live in the faculty dormitory area, does that mean I'm the only male student in the entire Joy Academy?"

"Don't worry, kid. You can take the school bus more often from now on, so we can chat a bit more."

You might as well not comfort me at all.

The driver chuckled a few times and slowed down.

"But don't worry, students and teachers from other schools occasionally come to exchange ideas, and there are still a few old men like me here."

Zhu Suihan glanced at his Poké Ball: "Uncle, you don't look like an ordinary old man."

"We're getting old. Back in our day, fighting was really deadly."

The driver almost lit a cigarette to hide the weariness in his eyes.

"My old friends and I don't plan to travel around anymore. When we were young, my old friends were indebted to an old lady, so we came here to do our part and repay her."

Zhu Suihan asked curiously, "Excuse me, but what is your strength?"

"I know it's presumptuous of you to ask, kid."

The uncle laughed heartily: "I don't know. Back then, once we started fighting, who cared about the opponent's strength? If we could beat them, we could beat them. If we encountered those with bad intentions, we had to run away."

"However, I also occasionally teach combat courses on the side. This old body of mine can still take on those tournament champions, it's just that I can't last long."

Zhu Suihan's eyes widened: "Wait, is Joey Academy going to teach combat skills?"

"nonsense."

The middle-aged man snorted coldly: "You can choose not to use your strength to bully the weak, but you can't be without it."

"Furthermore, whether it's the Pokémon struggling in pain during treatment or some clueless guys causing trouble at the Pokémon Center, all of these require the children to be capable of fighting."

Zhu Suihan:?

"Who has the nerve to cause trouble at the Pokémon Center?"

"Back then, it was chaotic. In other people's jargon, the Pokémon Center was very lucrative, basically a warehouse full of food and medicine."

"Food is one thing, but medicines and medical equipment are the most valuable."

The driver stopped the car: "Now there are basically none, or rather, some strange young people who shout and yell, but this rule has been passed down, also to protect the children."

"Every Nurse Joy who can stand alone at a Pokémon Center, even if they can work with Officer Jenny and local trainers to suppress the chaotic forces, should at least be able to defeat some of the trainers who come seeking treatment with one hand."

Zhu Suihan's lips twitched. Back when they were at the Well of Slowpoke, he really thought that Miss Joy was there specifically to be a priest.

It now seems that he's not just a priest, but probably the team's third-ranked damage dealer, even more capable than Officer Jenny's squad members.

"Kid, I wish you all the best in your studies."

As the school bus drove away, Zhu Suihan picked up the Beiming Ball and touched it, feeling a headache coming on.

In terms of online battles, as someone who plays games online, he at least knows some basic strategies.

Real-world battles

"I hope it's a wild battle system, the kind that allows trainers to personally participate."

If I use a Heavy Ball to deal with the Trainer and a Sticky Ball to target the Pokémon, and I also have a Lapras acting as a turret by my side, how should I deal with this situation?

"I don't have much experience with this kind of thing. I remember that transfer students usually have to go to the school administration and ask them to assign them a class and a place?"

Zhu Suihan suddenly wanted to call Uncle Liu and ask him where he should look for the person and who would be more suitable to contact.

"I wish there was a service point in this kind of government service hall, but this is a school."

To be honest, the chances are not very high.

"You're the new student?"

As soon as they entered, an elderly woman named Joy saw the envelope in Zhu Suihan's hand. After a moment's thought, her eyes lit up as if a Pokémon had activated its Flash ability.

"Uh, it's me. Could you tell me who I should contact for my enrollment procedures?"

The middle-aged Joey nodded happily: "You've come to the right person. Come with me."

Zhu Suihan nodded subconsciously: "Thank you for your help. May I ask who you are?"

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not some high-ranking big shot, I'm just an ordinary employee."

Joey covered her mouth and chuckled: "Asking the right person means that with you here, I can legitimately slack off for a while and relax a little."

Bamboo Suihan:

Ok.

"For this kind of question, you can just go to the dean's office."

The dean's office is fine?

At once?

Zhu Suihan wondered if she had misheard: "This kind of thing actually requires the dean's help?"

"Otherwise, how do you think I figured out your identity?"

Joey patted Zhu Suihan on the shoulder: "Actually, it's just that the dean and the others were too curious, so they accidentally said a few extra words, and then the whole school found out."

There are only a small group of people in the alliance, and the fact that an old guy like Uncle Liu, who is stubborn and doesn't listen to either soft or hard approaches, actually asked for help has ignited the curiosity of a group of his peers.

Is this the real reason I'm about to become a monkey?

"Dean, our new students have arrived!"

"Have we arrived? Please come in, both of you."

In the spacious and bright dean's office sat an elderly woman named Joey, wearing reading glasses and looking kindly at Zhu Suihan.

To be precise, it was half kindness and nine and a half parts curiosity.

"Dean, I'll be leaving now."

Take a stroll around a couple more times, then head to the rest area for a drink. You can steal a moment of leisure amidst your busy schedule—it's perfect.

"Yes, thank you for your hard work."

After Moyu Joey closed the door, Old Joey nodded to Zhu Suihan.

"Sit down, child. No, perhaps I shouldn't call you child; perhaps I should call you ancestor?"

Zhu Suihan sat down: "Just treat me like someone of normal age. By the way, did Uncle Liu tell you this?"

"His seniority is quite high."

Old Joey laughed: "Yes, but don't worry, Joey Academy specializes in Pokémon research, they won't drag you to be sliced ​​up."

"That's good, that's good."

Zhu Suihan laughed too, feeling that the old man in front of him had a very youthful mindset.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Qiao Yijing. You can just call me Dean Jing."

Qiao Yijing said, "So, Suihan, do you understand what you need to learn?"

Zhu Suihan shook his head: "Anyway, in my opinion, I can learn anything. All I want is to meet more Pokémon. Nothing else is within my consideration."

"Yes, just as Gu Liu said."

Joey nodded: "Then, let's do a little test. Do you want to do the paper test or the real test first?"

Zhu Suihan was taken aback: "Can I go straight to the practical test?"

"Yes, because the teacher in charge is quite capable and will stop you before you make a mistake."

Zhu Suihan frowned: "Forget it, I'll take the exam first, the paper version."

"I won't risk the life of a sick Pokémon without absolute certainty. I don't plan to get involved."

He had experienced excruciating pain before, so he didn't like others looking down on such things.

"I'm willing to spray some wound medicine or feed some peaches to detoxify, but anything deeper is out of the question. I'm not willing to do anything more."

Just like helping Hua Jie hold down her wrist, that was already the limit of what she could do, and Zhu Suihan would not follow her into the treatment room.

"Sigh, I'm getting old."

Qiao Yijing laughed instead: "Sorry, Sui Han, people tend to overthink things when they get older. I should have trusted that old man Gu Liu."

"That old man is indeed just like Han Bing; he's very good at judging people."

"what?"

Is this a test?

What a cliché plot.

Qiao Yijing seemed to know what Zhu Suihan was thinking.

"This is a test, of course it's not targeted at you. In the past, these kinds of tests were usually paper-based exams, which were then handed over to psychology teachers and professors for assessment."

Qiao Yijing said, "Let's see if the students outside can truly understand the mission of the academy."

Zhu Suihan asked, "Are there many people who can't pass?"

"It's not much, or rather, it's just an assessment. It doesn't mean that failing means you can't enroll. It's about teaching according to aptitude so that other children can also become a real Joey."

"In our view, the name 'Joey' has never been associated with a specific family," Joey said.

"Anyone can become the real Joey, just like you."

Zhu Suihan's lips twitched: "Excuse me for asking, are there any men?"

"Yes, but in terms of surnames, boys take their father's surname and girls take their mother's surname, so to outsiders, Joey is always seen as a woman."

"Or, Suihan, if you can find a lover like Joey in the future, from any perspective, we'll all be family."

What kind of Pokémon version of a son-in-law?

The old dean's youthful mindset was far more outrageous than Zhu Suihan had anticipated.

Qiao Yijing chuckled and said, "Let's go, I'll show you around the campus."

Zhu Suihan was somewhat surprised: "Don't you go to work? Isn't this too much trouble?"

"I saw exactly what that little girl was doing; she was just imitating me."

Qiao Yijing shook her head: "Otherwise, where do you think they learned their habit of slacking off from?"

Oh, this.

Zhu Suihan nodded reluctantly: "Alright, you're in really good health."

For the elderly, being able to think about various things instead of constantly reminiscing about the past is actually a sign of good health.

"Of course."

Qiao Yijing's face showed an expression that said, "I've met the wrong person."

"If it weren't for a few older people coming over to complain to me, how could I possibly be working obediently in the dean's office?"

"My job is to be on the front lines of the fight against crime, taking down those idiots who are disrupting the Alliance's order before healing my comrades."

Joey gave a heavy snort: "Instead of getting moldy in the office!"

Zhu Suihan swallowed hard.

I felt the pressure from the big boss.

Joey, the stealth version of Assassin's Creed, are you scared yet?

However, for me, a new life has already begun.

Uncle Joey is officially online!
