Riding a Dragon: I Need an Interstellar Ticket, It's Urgent!

Chapter 73 Riding a Dragon: I Need an Interstellar Ticket, It's Urgent!

Both the extras and Foretus were sent away, and the staff made it clear that this event would be added to the contribution.

Aside from the medical assistance provided by the academy, this was an extra contribution.

“Wuwu!”

After talking to Chenglong, or rather, Chenglong's parents evolved from being "so happy to see their child" to having the mentality of "why is their child still here?"

Then Chenglong suddenly felt unwell.

Trainers are definitely the best!

I'm so happy!

"Waaah."

Chenglong pretended to be dissatisfied and bumped into Zhu Suihan's chest.

You didn't even call me for something as fun as arresting people, and just went by yourself with Little Fairy.

unfair!

"You met with your parents, and you were the one who did all the work to get me from the other side of the lake to this place, not to mention the fight with the jellyfish swarm in between."

Zhu Suihan shook his head helplessly: "You also need to rest. We can't just ignore your physical condition and make you work hard, right?"

"You deserve immense credit for this trip."

This is not a perfunctory effort; Lapras has done its best in everything, from traveling and fighting to providing medical assistance.

If this were a tower defense game, the Dragon would be the ultimate workhorse, capable of both initiating team fights and tanking damage while also unleashing devastating damage.

If it weren't for the roles played by Zhu Suihan and Xiaoxiannai, Chenglong would have become the legendary orphanage director of a battle team.

In order to improve the family's living conditions, the white-haired monkey kept swindling money, and Chenglong also did his best.

"Milu!"

Little Fairy Milk raised her hands and cheered. Whether it was the stability she felt sitting on top of the dragon head or the calm and collected demeanor during the battle, it gave her a great sense of security.

That's right!

The boss lady is the best!

"Waaah."

Little Fairy is innocent and carefree, and doesn't care about her white-haired monkey face.

Both of them had quite loud voices, and passersby and Pokémon could hear their conversation.

Even the usually carefree Chenglong was a little shy at this moment, since everyone looking at her had smiles and admiration on their faces.

In the end, Longlong could only bury his head in Zhu Suihan's arms, his cheeks flushed.

Let Longlong score!

I can't stand being outside for even a second longer!

"Come in."

Beimingqiu retrieved Chenglong, and Zhu Suihan turned to find the league staff to ask if there was any work he could help with.

Since we are here as students to provide support, we still need to do what we are supposed to do.

"Uncle, I'm incredibly strong. How about you give me a team of people and I'll lead them to break the ice? I can guarantee speed and efficiency."

The manager asked doubtfully, "Breaking the ice, we do have spare equipment here, but are you used to using it?"

"It's okay, I brought my own."

"Did you bring your own tools? Let me see them."

Giant heavy ball on display.

Manager: ?

"If you're strong, go help carry it. This kind of thing really shouldn't be used as an icebreaker."

If you were to use this as an ice-breaking tool, I really wouldn't even dare to imagine what else could be broken into pieces besides ice!

"Oh well."

Then, Zhu Suihan, playing both a villainous extra and Nidoking, gave the staff a little shock.

Haoli and Guaili are already considering whether to break free of their belts and have a real muscle battle with Zhu Suihan.

Oh no, considering the existence of the female monster, strictly speaking, it should be a pure contest between musclemen.

Even Uncle Liu couldn't help but have wild thoughts when he saw their relaxed expressions, wondering if they had accidentally released something strange.

Fortunately, Joy Academy sealed him away, so at least he'll have some peace and quiet for a few years.

If Qiao Yijing knew this, she would probably chuckle at Uncle Liu.

several years?

That kid almost swept the entire Joy Academy away. A student who hadn't even been enrolled for two months gave his classmates a head-stomping performance in the test scores.

Who could tolerate this!

Roll it up for me!

Furthermore, Zhu Suihan's goal is not to work at the Pokémon Center. In short, if he were willing to specialize in one subject, he would graduate several times faster than normal students.

How many years can the academy keep him under lockdown?

Two years might not be enough!

"Lunch is served! Lunch is served! If you still have work to do, please finish it. Lunch is served at the camp."

Is dinner served?

Zhu Suihan and Xiaoxiannai looked up immediately, almost throwing the ice cubes in their hands aside.

The meals at the work lunches weren't particularly lavish, but they were still large enough to fill you up.

"Milu?"

The little fairy floated on the dining table, staring silently at the square energy cube in front of her.

This is different from what she usually eats.

Are there counterfeit company lunches?

"Waaah."

Chenglong explained to Xiaoxiannai in a tone of someone who had been through it all.

The world is normal; it's our trainers who are abnormal. You'll get used to it.

"Milu".

If the boss speaks up, then she's right!

The little fairy milk ate the energy cube in one gulp. She probably didn't even taste it, but at least she was sure it was nutritious and not fake.

Zhu Suihan calmly joined the group of strong and powerful people in queuing to receive their meals. To be fair, the alliance's preparations were quite thorough, at least there were enough boxed meals.

It's impossible for me to come to work and you not even give me a proper meal.

However, Chenglong and Xiaoxiannai can't do that. After finishing their boxed meals here, they still need to replenish the energy cubes they made themselves.

"Milu~"

Little Fairy Milk held the round energy cube, a "That's more like it" expression on her face.

"Uncle Liu, what should we do with the base here? Should we blow it up?"

Uncle Liu couldn't help but ask, "Fry it? How do you fry it?"

Zhu Suihan stroked his chin: "If it's inconvenient to use explosives, then let's call over two Ground-type trainers. Two full-force Earthquakes should solve the problem."

Uncle Liu: "It seems like a solution, but that's something the alliance should consider, it's none of my business."

Zhu Suihan was taken aback: "Haven't the people from the alliance come to bother you about your promotion yet?"

Uncle Liu's face darkened: "Xuecheng told you?"

"I guessed it because Professor Oak told me he highly recognizes your strength. Professor Oak is a former champion."

Zhu Suihan shrugged: "So, if the Quartz Alliance is going to change its system, it will definitely need to bring in a powerful local, and you are definitely one of the best candidates."

Putting everything else aside, the Dragon Clan absolutely admires Uncle Liu.

Putting aside the attribute advantage, Liu Bo is not the kind of champion with a good temper. If he dares to jump around, he will definitely lose the ball on the spot.

Decisiveness is just one of the essential qualities of a champion.

"No, I'm fine with the dojo, why should I become a champion or a king?"

Uncle Liu explained, "Let me give you a basic concept: in terms of the league's working system, the Four Kings and the champion do not represent all the high-level positions."

"At least as far as I know, the old guys in other positions are also very strong."

"The Four Heavenly Kings and the champions represent the shining stars of that era, a kind of promotion channel, and a calling card of each league in that era."

Uncle Liu pointed to himself: "I'm old, I'm no longer a name card. The responsibility of being a champion and one of the Four Heavenly Kings should be handed over to the younger generation."

Zhu Suihan:?

The "era icon" you mentioned has successors, but they haven't reached that level yet, okay?

Even overpowered trainers like Red, Green, and A-Lv still need some time to level up; they're not yet capable of standing on their own.

Moreover, the position of the Four Heavenly Kings is not one that anyone can hold onto, otherwise there wouldn't be older generations continuing to assume the important role of the Four Heavenly Kings in various places.

Zhu Suihan guessed that Uncle Liu was simply lazy.

If it weren't for Luffy's intervention during the Lake of Rage incident, the rumors within the League about "Luffy being very strong" would probably only have Professor Oak and Akiko as witnesses.

The League might not believe other people's testimonies, but Professor Oak and Akiko are strong enough that they can be somewhat trusted to believe such rumors.

Now, Uncle Liu has directly revealed that he is a good guy with a knife, and he even uses an American-style Iaijutsu with an extended magazine.

The messenger bird and the little boar, which can turn 3,600 times in a single breath, are just missing sunglasses and cigars for Uncle Liu.

"Uncle Liu, have you ever considered moving your dojo back?"

Deep in the valley, which is perpetually covered in ice and snow, even if the Alliance members could come, they would have to consider whether they could withstand the wind and snow and be turned away.

Uncle Liu was also troubled by this problem, but for the sake of the future development of Kaji Town and his own health, he definitely couldn't go back to the dojo in the valley.

Well, let's deal with it as it comes. Uncle Liu knows that the alliance won't give up on this kind of thing. On a small scale, it's about the performance of the relevant personnel; on a larger scale, it concerns the future development of the City Alliance.

"Don't worry about that for now. Just rest at the camp today, and come with me somewhere tomorrow."

Zhu Suihan was taken aback: "Then what about my campus internship?"

"That's included too. I've also communicated with the camp on the other side. Although you took three sets of resources, the number of Pokémon sent over has already met the requirements."

Uncle Liu said, "The little sea lion will be well cared for, and his teeth will grow back soon after he is sent to the rear."

"By the way, the camp on the other side of the lake seems to want to ask you a question: what kind of mental state led you to make the energy cube into a sphere?"

Whether it's a regular product or a work by a master of nurturing, the former will use packaging that highlights its unique features, while the latter will have a signature or similar mark.

Strictly speaking, it seems that only Zhu Suihan has done this so far, focusing on the shape of the energy cube to make it more recognizable.

All Liu Bo can say is that he hopes the energy block market will be more normal in the future, with blocks and spheres being acceptable, and that no more weird or bizarre versions will appear.

Zhu Suihan:?

How would I know?

Where are we going tomorrow?

"This Dark Team's base is just a facade; their real location is below, in a mine tunnel leading to the underground area."

Uncle Liu said, "The Lake of Rage used to be a volcano. It was the Gyarados that gathered here that quelled nature's anger by riding the storms. At least that's how the legend describes it."

"To completely thwart the Dark Team's intentions, we'll take a look regardless of whether we've gained anything or not."

Zhu Suihan's lips twitched: "Did Abi tell you?"

"I don't need to tell you, the gym leaders all know about the Crown Shell."

Uncle Liu said, "Abi is indeed a lucky kid. Even if the dojo stops accepting challengers after this, he can lie down for half a year without any problem because of this achievement."

Whether considering the local tourism economy of Huipi Town or its significance and value in archaeology, the crown shell and that historical footage are all extremely rare.

Zhu Suihan nodded.

Got it. Next time, I'll have Abi treat him to a meal, and it has to be at least three months' salary from him.
