The Worried Older People

Chapter 96 The Worried Older People

"I don't know if you're making fun of me, but I still suggest you don't do this kind of thing."

Watari said, "I've seen your work records at the Lake of Rage. If you're interested in fighting crime, would you like to come with me to work in the investigation system after graduation?"

Zhu Suihan shook her head: "No, I don't want to be controlled by the system. My current plan is to travel after graduation, anywhere is fine."

"After hearing you describe Viridian Forest in such an exaggerated way, I really want to go and see what it's like."

"Then you'd better be careful, the Pokémon inside are quite fierce."

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

Zhu Suihan's interest was piqued: "How does it compare to the Dragon's Lair in your Yanmo City?"

Du thought for a moment and said, "The top-tier combat power is currently a bit lacking, but the future is promising."

They arrived at the government building, but just as they reached the door of the conference room, the bustling atmosphere inside, resembling a vegetable market, instantly stopped Zhu Suihan in her tracks.

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

Compared to the relatively friendly atmosphere here, something seems off inside.

The reason is simple: Yulong didn't expect that Qiao Yijing would actually bring over a large legal team.

Since the meeting was still scheduled to take place at Joy Academy, the Dragon Clan subconsciously regarded the Joy Clan as their negotiating partner.

Well, that person is also one of Joey's students, so there's nothing wrong with that.

Then Joyce gave them something real.

Past friendships, allies and colleagues?

I'm sorry, but my precious student is still a fresh and promising young lady, so we, as her elders, naturally have to carefully oversee her.

I know you all very well, but my students don't.

Legal team, get to work!

The group of people that Joey Jing called over were less legal elites and more litigious scoundrels.

As we all know, the law is the underlying logic of how a region operates, much like the underlying code in a game.

The so-called "litigation swindlers" are high-level elite lawyers who spend their days finding bugs in code to profit themselves and those behind them.

Those unfamiliar with legal provisions are not qualified to be lawyers, not to mention their superpowered partners are experts at it, able to detect even the slightest change in expression.

Then, the Dragon Clan broke down and tried several times to steal the Poké Ball and have a Pokémon battle with Nurse Joy, but they became obedient again under the intimidation of the opponent's past achievements.

Of course, the main reason for breaching the defenses was that the Dragon Clan wanted some small, exclusive benefits.

When the time comes, all those Hoenn Meteor Villages and Unova Dragon Villages can take a backseat. My Dragon Clan wants this potion!

I want to be a despicable middleman who profits from the price difference, preferably one with a quota system!

If you're so eager to make money, then Qiao Yijing certainly won't indulge you. She absolutely won't let you take away the students' research results at bargain prices.

"It seems their battle is still a while away."

It's better to leave this to the professionals. Zhu Suihan felt that if he went in, the Dragon Clan's firepower would definitely be turned on him.

This would give him the idea of ​​wanting to immediately turn the tables and let them calm down.

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

Du, who possesses extraordinary power, has already heard what is being said inside. In short, it's not a place for them to get involved.

No, no, that's not suitable. We'd be better off using this time to discuss with Zhu Suihan and see if we can change the location for another match.

"This place doesn't feel safe for us anymore, let's make a run for it."

Zhu Suihan asked, "Since you have some rare time, would you like to consider giving Dragonite a full check-up? We have plenty of machines at our academy."

"A full body checkup, please?"

Remembering Zhu Suihan's strange ability, Du expressed his strong interest, and the two of them, along with their companions, returned to the research lab once again.

"Those two kids left?"

"I'm gone."

Upon hearing this, the meeting room fell silent. Qiao Yijing slowly picked up her teacup, took a sip, and looked at the group of old men from the Yulong family in silence.

"Jingjie, there's no need for that. It's just a small request. I think the two kids get along quite well, don't they?"

The elite team of lawyers, adhering to industry rules and regulations, remained serious as they processed documents and drafted contracts.

That's right, the two sides have already finished talking; what happened just now was purely an act.

They watched the battle between Du and Zhu Suihan; it was a live broadcast from the venue's monitoring equipment.

If Zhu Suihan's previous label was "genius researcher," which only made the Yulong Clan pay more attention to him, things are different now.

The old men and women of the Yulong family are so excited they're practically bursting with excitement, and their blood pressure is probably about to explode too.

Du is good at everything, except that he is too straightforward. While he is not completely devoid of scheming and plotting, he is definitely only at a barely passing level.

Now, they've seen someone who can get along with Du, and who also has a bit of a dirty mind. They've tried everything to get the two young people to talk more.

The only slightly regrettable thing is that Zhu Suihan is a boy, so they are destined to only be good friends.

The fact that they could keep up with each other's thinking and were of similar strength had already excited the elders of the Yulong family.

There are many kinds of relationships between Pokémon and humans, just as there can be close partnerships between humans.

With such a uniquely conceived and somewhat cunning individual providing some strength, the future star of the Dragon Clan will definitely become even more outstanding.

Qiao Yijing actually had her own considerations when she agreed to such a seemingly absurd request.

Zhu Suihan is a great antique in every way, except that he's a bit too selfish. All he cares about is money and his Pokémon.

To be precise, a large part of the reason he values ​​money is because of his Pokémon.

We need to expand his social circle and pay attention to the students' mental health.

A conventional marriage emphasizes matching social status and economic conditions, with both material and spiritual needs being met.

It's impossible for me to be worrying about salary and benefits while you're already thinking about romance and leisure. That won't do.

Therefore, Qiao Yijing also felt that Du was a good candidate for expanding social circles.

They are all quite capable fighters and value their Pokémon highly; those two points are enough.

The two sides hit it off immediately, and began to put on an act when Zhu Suihan and Du arrived near the conference room, mainly by pretending to be serious.

It can only be said that Du is still too young. The presence of two extraordinary powers at the same time gives him a higher starting point, but he can't compete with the fact that the conference room is full of scheming old people.

However, they were wrong about one thing.

It's not that Zhu Suihan can keep up with Du's train of thought and have common topics, but rather that Du can understand Zhu Suihan's convoluted thought process.

Perhaps there's also a hint of apprehension: "I have to be careful he doesn't turn into a lawless outlaw."

"Your Dragonite is in great shape."

After reviewing the data on the screen, Zhu Suihan said, "You must be very meticulous in your training. By the way, your Dragonite's ability should be Multiscale?"

Watari nodded: "Yes."

The most striking feature of this characteristic is directly reflected in the body, and it is actually quite easy to distinguish if you have a good understanding of the Dragonite's body structure.

Zhu Suihan reached out and pinched Dragonite's arm: "With solid muscles and active type energy, as long as it maintains this momentum, it won't be long before Dragonite's strength improves even further."

"Kailiu?!"

As soon as Zhu Suihan made his move, Dragonite was so frightened that it took a step back, just like the protagonist in a shonen manga who had just mastered a new skill, looking at its arm with a blank expression.

Just now, it seems like he's gotten a little stronger?

During the battle at the Kaji Gym, Dragonite was wary of Psylocke's masterful Ice-type moves.

But now Dragonite has a feeling that if he were to return to the gym for a battle, he would be confident that he could use his right arm to take the Ice Beam head-on and forcefully rush in to finish the battle with only minor injuries.

Lance's eyes also changed, it seems that what happened with Dratini wasn't just his imagination.

"Um?"

Zhu Suihan asked, somewhat puzzled, "You didn't have any old injuries or bruises when I checked you earlier. Could the machine be broken?"

It's unlikely. Even if the machine is broken, it should only cause problems after you've finished using it, not during the usage period.

Having such incredible luck makes one this confident.

"It seems you really don't know."

Du frowned: "Are there any secluded places in the academy? What I'm about to say might be a little important to you."

Zhu Suihan slowly typed out a question mark.

?

We were having a nice chat, why did we suddenly become so serious?

There's a story about a group of friends having a nice chat when suddenly one of them pulls a shotgun out of his pants and fires it into the air, yelling, "You all better squat down!"

At the Great Lake, Zhu Suihan sat on the carapace of a dragon, while Du rode a dragonite. Beside them were Gyarados and Magikarp, acting as their bodyguards.

"No, I still have this ability?"

After listening to Du's explanation, Zhu Suihan had a moment of doubt about life for the first time.

How come I didn't know that happened!

It's just like an ordinary person who inexplicably inherits a fortune of hundreds of millions, and in such a completely unexpected way.

Perhaps someone will deliver an asset transfer document to you when you go out to buy steamed buns.

"That's how it is. I sensed something when you were treating the mini dragon, but since it was an isolated case, I couldn't be sure."

Lance scratched his head: "Dragonite was already in a period of increasing strength, but you just pinched Dragonite, and that situation has occurred again."

Zhu Suihan looked at Dragonite: "So you dodged backward not because of some old injury, but because you couldn't adapt to the increased power all at once?"

"Kailiu".

Dragonite nodded seriously. Since the amplification only applied to one arm, it took him some time to fully adapt to the feeling of this golden right arm.

Bamboo Suihan:

"The two of you?"

"Waaah."

"Milu".

Chenglong and Xiaoxiannai shook their heads decisively; how could they possibly sense such a change?

Lapras is a carefree, gluttonous dragon that doesn't appreciate such changes as much as Dragonite, which is a dedicated fighter.

When Little Fairy opened her eyes, what she saw was Zhu Suihan, or more accurately, the nutrient solution in the white-haired man's hand and on top of the dragon head.

What feelings could she possibly have? All she could feel was the trainer's love for her.

Zhu Suihan sighed, rubbing his forehead. The change in Gyarados's strength was due to the potion itself, and the Magikarp were probably still processing it after just going through a decompression process.

If Du hadn't pointed this out today, Zhu Suihan wouldn't have known he possessed this ability.

"Okay, this is indeed a case of being blind to one's own shortcomings."

"It seems I can find another kind of job: opening a high-end massage parlor in a bustling metropolis, where customers have to pay a membership fee and make an appointment to queue up."

"The opening hours depend on my mood."
