A-Ju: Oh no, there's a cheat code!
Chapter 74 A-Ju: Oh no, there's a cheat code!
"The conditions outside aren't great, you'll just have to make do with sleeping here tonight."
The full moon hangs high in the night sky, and the starry sky is clear and bright. Staring at it for too long can cause a sense of distortion regarding the actual distance.
Zhu Suihan fed Chenglong an energy cube made from a ten-year-old tree fruit. The dragon had worked very hard today and needed to eat something good to replenish itself.
As long as consumption and replenishment remain within a stable range, the dragon won't fall asleep instantly after taking a bite.
"Milu, Milu!"
I've had a tough day too, so I'm going to have another one!
Zhu Suihan and Chenglong exchanged a glance, then looked at Xiaoxiannai at the same time.
"Well, it's not that we can't eat it, it's not like we're short of money at home."
Zhu Suihan coughed lightly: "Let me make this clear in advance, if you eat this, given your current state, you'll most likely fall asleep immediately and won't even know when you wake up."
The little fairy stood with her hands on her hips and her chest out, but it actually looked more like she was sticking out her little belly.
"Milu!"
If there's food, I'll definitely have another bite!
Come on, trainer, let me see your skills again!
"After making so many excuses, you still just want another bite, right?"
Zhu Suihan smiled and handed the energy cube to Little Fairy Milk.
"Milu~"
Little Fairy Milk flew up and kissed Zhu Suihan, then happily began to enjoy the energy cube.
I have to say, the trainer's cooking skills are really good. It tastes great and is very nutritious.
Little Fairy Milk was enjoying the delicious food, but she still had some questions in her mind. What did it mean when the trainer spread out his palms under her?
splat—
Just as the last energy cube was finished, Little Fairy Milk began to freefall, eventually landing precisely in Zhu Suihan's hand.
"Yes, things are going as expected."
"Waaah."
Chenglong nodded seriously, finally understanding his situation back then.
But I feel that with my size, I might still cause some trouble for the trainer if I fall down.
"I really wouldn't dare let her eat anything else."
Pokémon have very strong constitutions, and this is just an example of how they accelerate nutrient absorption while asleep.
At least in terms of health, sufficient sleep is indeed one of the best forms of exercise.
"It's up to you now."
Zhu Suihan placed the little fairy on the dragon's back: "Whether it's inside the tent or on the surface of the Lake of Wrath, choose whichever place you like."
If possible, it's best to let your Pokémon out to sleep, as this is better for their health.
"Huh?"
"I'm not going to sleep. One night won't be a big deal for me. I'm going to take a walk around the neighborhood."
After pondering for a moment, Chenglong realized that this was indeed the case.
But there is another problem: Little Fairy Milk can sleepwalk.
"Oh right, then leave it to me."
Zhu Suihan placed the mirror from inside the tent on the table, casually braided a bun in front of the mirror, and then put Little Fairy Milk inside the bun.
"Perfect."
Chenglong shook her head. With such a good place as the Lake of Wrath outside, she would rather sleep on the lake.
Just think of it as taking a nighttime walk with your trainer!
Watching the dragon drift on the Lake of Wrath, Zhu Suihan thought this way of sleeping might be much more comfortable than any waterbed.
The campsite was quiet at night. Even Uncle Liu went to bed early for the sake of his health. Only heavyweights like Zhu Suihan were still squandering their youth.
The night patrolmen weren't surprised to see Zhu Suihan; word had already spread about how hard this guy worked, so staying up all night didn't seem like a big deal.
The Night Hawk and the Cuckoo formed a small team to patrol around the camp; now is the time for them to shine.
To be precise, at least they don't like to squawk like the Great Pied Eagle or the Big-billed Pied Pied Pied when they fly.
The legendary traces inside the mine—if we can find something similar to the Crown Shell, it feels like we can extort another sum from the Alliance.
The little fairy on her head was breathing quite steadily, probably still thinking about the energy cubes she had eaten in her sleep, and occasionally smacking her lips.
Hmm, it seems I've found a way to get Little Fairy to sleep peacefully: give her something delicious before bed.
Anyway, with her body structure, Little Fairy Milk doesn't need to worry about getting cavities.
The next day, Lapras righteously refused Zhu Suihan's offer to brush her teeth, seeing through the trainer's sinister intentions at a glance.
I usually brush my teeth by myself, so why do I need you to help me today?
evildoer!
I think you clearly want my parents to watch!
"Tsk, why be so sensitive? It's really heartbreaking that we don't even have this much trust between us."
Zhu Suihan shed a few crocodile tears, but Lapras remained unmoved, raising its head and trying to look down at its trainer.
"Ugh!"
Tell me, isn't that right?
"Okay, you win. That's exactly what I was planning to do."
Faced with the dragon's frantic rampage, Zhu Suihan decisively surrendered, offering energy cubes as tribute.
"Alright, you two, let's get ready to go. Be careful."
Uncle Liu walked over, leaning on his cane: "A-Ju has been working on dismantling the mechanisms these past two days, but we can't be sure if she's taken them all down."
"It's alright, as long as I go, I can take care of any problem in one go."
Zhu Suihan patted Chenglong's neck: "Don't worry, just watch how we cooperate."
Uncle Liu:
Abi discovered the details of the crown shell; in fact, Uncle Liu had also read the documents.
The fact that the item was found is, in essence, acceptable, since the crown shell had always been there.
But the "fate" that led to finding this item is a bit hard to accept.
It all started when Zhu Suihan wanted to get himself a bottle of water to quench his thirst, and then he got the King's Token. Abi encouraged him to try again.
The odds feel as absurd as going to a game arcade in Golden City and having every machine hit the jackpot after you sit down and insert a coin.
"Milu~"
Little Fairy woke up, groggily fiddling with Zhu Suihan's hair, looking as if she were stumbling on a soft mattress.
"Let's go, the secret passage is at the back of the base, and A-Ju is over there."
Uncle Liu said, "Do you and Nancy from the Rocket Group have some kind of grudge?"
Zhu Suihan:?
"No way, Ah-Ju has been asking about me?"
"Yes, I noticed his voice, and then I chatted with him for a bit."
Uncle Liu said, "I heard that the guild master of Golden City has been inquiring about you lately, so I've been paying a little attention to it too."
"In my opinion, unless you have some kind of grudge against someone's ancestors, I really can't think of any connection between you two."
"Oh, I did a business deal with her."
Zhu Suihan recounted what had happened recently, and Uncle Liu frowned, pondering the logical connections within.
"Have you truly felt God's decree?"
"Anyway, I've never been to the Alola region or Galar."
Zhu Suihan gently rubbed Xiaoxiannai's cheeks: "Besides, I'm also certain that I don't have any potential for superpowers, so it shouldn't have anything to do with predicting the future."
"God, what do you think God is?"
"The ancient texts have already explained it very clearly. It's nothing more than a group of powerful Pokémon that also possess natural powers."
Zhu Suihan said, "Otherwise, the Dark Team wouldn't have gone crazy chasing after the legend. They probably want to do something big."
"Yes, we've arrived."
Uncle Liu stopped at the door, and the messenger bird knowingly flew forward, then flew back and perched on Zhu Suihan's shoulder after confirming it was safe.
?
Zhu Suihan glanced at this powerful older brother and said, "I think you should go and protect Uncle Liu."
"Pele".
The messenger bird flapped its small wings.
It's all the same. My trainers are all this age, so it's naturally better for them to rest on your shoulders, a young person like you.
"I seem to be older."
The little fairy above floated over quietly and reached out to touch the messenger bird's head.
I didn't mean anything by it, I just wanted to try it out and compare it with the trainer's hair.
"Pele".
The messenger bird shook its head. "Young man, don't be so naive. You can't just touch an old man's head like that."
"Senior Liu Bo, oh, is this the person our PR department head is so obsessed with?"
Ah Ju emerged from the shadows, half of her face covered by a mask.
I really want to know if there's a hole in the middle of the mask so that you can just tuck the middle fabric under your chin when you eat, without having to take the mask off at all.
Hmm, it can also be used as a bib.
Also, what does "haunting my dreams" mean? You don't think I'm easy to bully, do you?
Zhu Suihan glanced at Aju: "Sir, has the mechanism been completely solved?"
"Of course not, but with my guidance, I can guarantee you will arrive at your destination safely."
"Oh, no need, I'll do it."
Zhu Suihan tossed the Northern Darkness Ball at the open space: "Riding the Dragon, aim at any spot and unleash the Water Cannon."
"Ugh!"
Before Ah-Ju could react and stop it, the dragon's water cannon had already slammed into the rock wall of the mine.
A rumbling sound continued to emanate from the depths of the mine, before stopping after five or six minutes.
A-Ju: ?
"Crossbat, go check out the situation."
At the speed of the cross-bat, it flew back and forth in the mine in two minutes, and even took a special look at Zhu Suihan after returning.
Upon receiving the information, A-Ju fell silent.
All the traps and mechanisms inside had been dismantled, some of which were hidden mechanisms that I hadn't discovered before.
Although there won't be any major problems, it's still a bit embarrassing.
The principle should be to achieve internal destruction through subtle vibrations of the rock wall, but this seems excessively strange.
He still remembered Zhu Suihan's words, "Just face any place."
Oh no, there's a cheat code!
Aju swallowed hard, feeling that if Zhu Suihan were to casually poke her, he might accidentally hit a vital spot that she herself was unaware of.
"What exactly is the principle behind this?"
"Well, you wouldn't understand even if I explained it, so I'd better not."
Just kidding, there's a frame on the screen, why aren't you typing it out?
Zhu Suihan stood with his hands in his pockets, a little fairy on his head and a messenger bird on his shoulder, and a dragon with its head held high and neck outstretched beside him.
Uncle Liu, leaning on his cane, glanced at A-Ju with pity in his eyes before following Zhu Suihan into the mine.
The little wild boar beside me shook its fur, and I couldn't tell if it was secretly laughing.
Uncle Liu shook his head.
Why talk trash with someone else? You're talking trash with him.
Do you know just how terrifying this kid's record is?
No, Rocket Corporation should know that. Didn't the Rocket Building in Goldenrod City go through something similar once?
Uncle Liu turned back and glanced at A-Ju again, questioning Rocket Group's intelligence capabilities for the first time.
If you're investigating someone, you should pay attention to these kinds of details.
Well, it's also possible that everyone has a common understanding of this kind of luck that comes with destiny, which is that it doesn't last.
Good luck, everyone eats something nice during the Lunar New Year.
However, Zhu Suihan is precisely the kind of person who is consistently lucky, and occasionally he will even deliver a lucky surprise.
