Chapter 17
Cheat Code
The next day.
The driver dialed Xia Mu's number early on.
He said.
Since Xia Mu's video was released, the number of people coming to Shaling Town has increased dramatically.
To welcome the growing number of guests, he has resigned from the bus company, ready to dedicate himself to creating the best memories for his customers.
and.
According to information the driver obtained from an archaeological expert.
The ruins that Natsuki and his friends previously dropped were called the Giant God's Ruins, and it is highly likely that they were built to enshrine Natsuki's clay giant.
Speaking of which...
The driver sighed with emotion.
"I didn't expect there to be a ruin so close to Shaling Town. It's said that the ruin covers a large area, and you just happened to fall into the latter half..."
The uncle said a lot, but most of his words were expressions of gratitude to Xia Mu.
after all.
In Xia Mu's video, after learning the truth, he did not condemn the driver's actions, but instead expressed understanding.
therefore.
Many fans who watched the video were also quite enthusiastic about the uncle.
It warmed the uncle's heart.
"You're welcome~"
???
The man paused, recalling the scene after making the phone call earlier that day, where he had been the one doing all the talking.
I finally realized something.
"Snivy? Were you the one answering the phone the whole time?! No wonder..."
The driver suddenly realized.
No wonder Xia Mu seemed to have no energy today and didn't say a word.
So, you just left Tengisnake's phone number?!
"Haha! Sorry to bother you..."
The middle-aged man scratched his head awkwardly and gently hung up the phone.
Looking at the disconnected phone, Tengteng Snake shook his head and continued his intense online surfing.
......
"Wow~ It's another day full of energy!"
After getting out of bed feeling refreshed, Xia Mu stared at his phone lying on the pillow and fell into deep thought.
Didn't you charge it last night?
but.
"Luckily, I have two phones!"
Xia Mu plugged her phone into the charger and then began her daily routine of getting dressed and washing up.
"New Leaf Cat, Snivy, come wash your face!"
Meow~
Upon hearing Xia Mu's call, Xin Ye Miao poked her head out from under the covers, yawned widely, shook her head, stretched, and then leaped and strode towards the bathroom.
After Newleaf Cat left, Snivy skillfully used its vine whip to smooth out the sheets and fold the blankets.
Then, looking at his masterpiece, he nodded in satisfaction.
"Miyo!"
After Natsuki and Shin-chan finished washing up, Tengi-snake took a broom and swept the room again.
Then he followed the two men out of the room.
By this time...
Xia Mucai noticed.
"You seem...very happy today?"
Although Snivy's performance was no different from usual.
but.
Xia Mu still noticed some subtle differences.
such as.
While he and Shin-Ye-Nyan were washing up, Teng-Ban would probably pat his leg to make them move aside.
Another example.
When she realized her face was so close, Snivy should have turned her face away shyly.
but.
The vine snake didn't do any of these things.
She walked out of the room with cheerful steps.
I think back to the phone that was left on my pillow.
"You weren't secretly reading the comments, were you?!"
"Miyo!"
The vine snake looked startled and immediately jumped up and shook its head.
"Snivy, you can't read these comments, they'll drive you crazy!"
Faced with Xia Mu's concerns.
Tengtengshe was a little embarrassed to say it, but she just liked watching other people argue online.
and so.
Snivy nodded obediently, thus smoothing things over.
......
When Xia Mu and the others finished their meal and left the Pokémon Center, preparing to challenge the Raven Gym...
"Natsuki!"
Looking in the direction of the sound.
It is purple taro.
"I've watched your videos. Are you going to challenge the dojo today?"
Ziyu's eyes sparkled, as if anticipation and excitement were about to burst forth.
Looking at Ziyu's appearance, with her pink hair and hairstyle, a familiar voice seemed to resound from the bottom of my heart.
Wow, so cool!
"Purple taro, purple taro, keep it like this..."
Xia Mu quickly took out his phone from his bag and pointed it at the purple taro.
Then, under Ziyu's puzzled gaze...
"Say it after me, 'Wow, so cool!'"
"Um...wow, so cool?"
"Make your expression more excited, more expectant!"
"Wow, so cool!"
"very good!"
Xia Mu nodded in satisfaction and decided to include it in his video as source material.
"Speaking of which, what are you doing here?"
Purple taro: "..."
Ziyu was slightly disappointed to see Xia Mu put her phone into her bag like that, but she quickly realized what was going on.
"I saw your video and know you're going to challenge the Raven Gym, so I'd like to watch...is that okay?"
"Welcome, welcome!"
Xia Mu naturally wouldn't refuse.
He was also hoping to get purple taro featured on camera, using its cute appearance to attract clicks.
Especially considering that Ziyu will become one of the four kings of the Blueberry Academy in the future, the videos she makes might be unearthed and suddenly increase her views during a period of normalcy.
After being welcomed by Xia Mu, Zi Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
She was actually a little embarrassed to say it.
Yesterday, she was genuinely worried after hearing that Natsuki and Shin-chan were going to participate in the Higaki Tournament.
She was worried that Natsuki wouldn't qualify for the Higaki Tournament, that he would be eliminated before even meeting Togo, and even how to comfort him if he lost to Togo.
Ziyu couldn't sleep well all night because of this.
After all, in Ziyu's opinion, if it weren't for her wanting to confirm whether Shin-chan had been abandoned by Togo, Natsuki wouldn't have thought of participating in the Higaki Tournament.
of course.
Ziyu was unaware that Xia Mu had already considered participating in the Higaki Tournament before this.
After all, if we're talking about the most famous tournaments in the Unova region, besides the Higanbana Tournament, there's probably only the Championship Challenge, which involves the tournament champion and the Elite Four.
Therefore, Natsuki, who has gradually developed a penchant for riding the coattails of popular events like the Higaki Tournament, would not let such a high-profile event slip by.
but.
Unaware of this, Ziyu pondered for a long time before finally coming up with a solution.
Go and see for yourself how strong Xia Mu really is. If he's a little weaker, then help Xia Mu improve his strength.
If you are strong enough, then help Xia Mu continue to improve.
In short, Yuchi will become Natsuki's cheat code, enabling him to defeat Togo in the Higaki Tournament.
of course.
At this moment, Xia Mu was unaware that the cheerful girl beside him already harbored the idea of becoming his personal grandmother.
If I knew.
Xia Mu just hoped that there would be more rich women like this.
