Your humble servant respectfully requests Your Majesty to abdicate.

"The young man is quite energetic, but a bit reckless."

"Young man, you still need to mature."

"Hey, Guangkuo, who's ranked first among the freshmen, good luck in the freshman competition, I'm rooting for you!"

As the leaders walked past him one by one, as if afraid he might get angry and do something rash, even hang himself at the university, they patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him.

Wei Xin wished he were on the podium of the freshman competition, or the podium after catching a Pokémon hunter, instead of being outside the door of a Primalmon that was about to evolve into a Forsaken.

"Go on, child, your teacher is waiting for you." The head of the archaeology department patted Wei Xin on the shoulder and sighed, "Some things are over in the blink of an eye."

His eyes were solemn, as if to say, "I hope the next time I see you, it won't be me sweeping you out of the mud with a small brush."

Shrinking his neck, Wei Xin carefully pushed open the conference room door and gently closed it. He stood obediently at the entrance, awkwardly fidgeting with his fingers. Looking up at the professor who was taking a sip of mineral water on the table, Wei Xin forced an innocent smile.

"Professor, who was that person on the screen just now?"

"Sinnoh Champion Cynthia, a consultant specializing in Pokémon battles and history, will take up her post in Shanghai next Monday."

The professor glanced up at Wei Xin, screwed the cap off his water bottle, placed it on the table, and abruptly asked, "You rushed over here in such a hurry, didn't you just to tell me you passed the first round of the preliminary rounds?"

What's the difference between this and writing your name on a big exam and then asking the teacher how many points you can get? You're a civil official, not a military champion.

Wei Xin shifted his feet and, through the refraction of the mineral water bottle, inadvertently caught a glimpse of the metal ring on the professor's waist, distorted by the convex lens. He sighed inwardly.

Sure enough, even the professor was hypnotized.

The working principle of the Dream Eater's hypnosis is still unclear. Wei Xin dared not make any rash moves, for fear of saying the wrong thing and reacting to the hypnosis implanted by the other party, which would not only expose himself but also harm others.

At that point, all plans will truly be exhausted.

We must proceed with caution.

Wei Xin scratched his head and gave a simple, honest smile: "People say that the squeaky wheel gets the grease. I just heard from my senior sister that I did something good again, so I came to ask you for a reward, Professor."

"That would be a great service," the professor thought for a moment. If Wei Xin hadn't reminded him that day, he wouldn't have discovered that someone had infiltrated the research center. "Do you want academic credits or a scholarship?"

"Can we change the reward?" Wei Xin said. He had just made a fortune and could be considered a small tycoon. As for academic credits, once he won the freshman competition, captured the Pokémon Hunter with the Sinnoh champion, and saved Shanghai from its dire straits, he wouldn't have to worry about not having enough credits.

Credits? Hand over the degree to this general; I want to choose my own major!

As if seeing through Wei Xin's scheme, the professor said, "You want the Pokémon from the research center? Aren't Ralts and Eevee enough?"

"It's not that I have two kids at home and can't manage them all by myself, so I want someone mature and stable to help me share the burden."

"Besides, Ralts is the Pokémon I won by getting first place in the exam. Eevee, the little guy likes me quite a bit. It's my personal charm, I can't help it. And now I'm also a member of the research center, and your last disciple. It's only reasonable for the research center to give me a Pokémon, right?" Wei Xin said indirectly.

When Sun Wukong became Tang Sanzang's disciple, Tang Sanzang even gave him a gold bracelet, though the size wasn't quite right.

"You're quite greedy, kid. You've only been in the research center for a few days, and you've already taken three Pokémon from it. Next time, are you going to ask me for the entire research center?" the professor asked.

"How could I dare?" Wei Xin quickly protested his innocence. "I'm not qualified enough to mentor students. Why don't you wait a few years until I've completed my apprenticeship and you're no longer able to work, then you can give me the research center?"

Is there a missing sentence at the end?

Hearing Wei Xin's shameless expression, as if a crown prince and the emperor were discussing how to inherit the throne, the professor's eyes widened in surprise, and he couldn't help but chuckle: "Have you made your choice yet?"

They really gave it to me.

Wei Xin's face lit up with joy. "I just mentioned it casually. How could I possibly accept this?"

"I'm not picky about powerful Pokémon, just give me Mimikyu."

"Who told you to choose a Pokémon?" the professor said coldly, his face expressionless.

You mean there's a general who got drunk, ran up to the emperor, and told him he wanted the empire while also asking for troops?

Do you think the emperor would do this? Clap and cheer in front of the entire court, then ask who else shares his idea? Finally, with a wave of his hand, send the current princess to marry into a foreign land?

If you dare to write a story like this, is this a male-oriented or female-oriented story?

"what?"

"I asked you whether you plan to go on a business trip to Hoenn or Unicron. It seems that Galar was planning to discuss cooperation with the Eastern Alliance, but the little girl with you seems to be Galar, so I can't let you have that opportunity."

"Let's go to Padia. I've heard Padia is pretty good, especially Zone Zero. I heard that many people who go in never come out."

Oh no, this means they're going to be exiled to Lingnan!

"I won't choose anymore, I won't choose anymore. Just pretend I was never here," Wei Xin hurriedly waved his hand and retreated towards the door.

Your Majesty, I take my leave now.

"Wait a minute!" Just as Wei Xin was shrinking back and preparing to leave the camp with his troops and turn to flee, the professor called out to him.

"Oh no, they're planning to kill him on the spot!" Wei Xin thought in alarm.

Without me, who will save Shanghai? Who will bring down the Pokémon hunters?

Just as Wei Xin was about to shout, "I have contributed to the research center, I have shed blood for the research center... I want to see the Emperor... it seems like the Emperor wants to kill me," the professor sighed.

Although Wei Xin was indeed a bit shameless, as a professor, he didn't dislike people who dared to fight, speak out, and get things done. On the contrary, he found them to be just what he liked.

Wolves that like to eat meat grow strong.

People who like egg yolk pies shouldn't eat them; they're fattening.

"Your senior brother will be back with Mimikyu tomorrow. Ask her then if she'd like to come with you." He then waved his hand impatiently. "Don't try to tempt her with food or drink."

Meanwhile, he was mentally calculating: handing over Mimikyu to him and giving him a reason to go on a business trip—wouldn't that solve everything? This was a good deal.

"Also, remember to close the door when you leave."

Upon hearing the professor's confirmation, Wei Xin was overjoyed and respectfully withdrew from the meeting room, saying, "Thank you for your great kindness."

It is known that the Sinnoh Champion will be released next Monday, and today is Saturday. The strength of the Sinnoh Champion and the Pokémon Hunter is 70/30, meaning that Cynthia can make the Pokémon Hunter open three times within seven minutes.

Therefore, the final operation of the Pokémon Hunters will take place in the next two days.

Wei Xin planned to first get his senior's contact information, explain the situation, and then tell him to stay in the suburbs of the city and wait for an opportunity to act.

If the League knew what the Pokémon hunters were doing in the city, they certainly wouldn't stand idly by; they'd probably already be preparing how to handle the situation.

But a terrorist who has been plotting in the city for a long time, along with a bunch of manipulated hostages, will inevitably make the alliance hesitant to act, just like the police, bank robbers, and hostages.

In situations where it's unclear whether the two sides have reached an agreement or whether the kidnappers will kill the hostage, a surprise attack might play an unexpected role.

We cooperated from both inside and outside, forming a pincer movement.

Even if he didn't need it, Wei Xin still managed to get the Mimikyu from the research center for free, so he didn't lose out.

As for Cynthia, Wei Xin plans to go back and find the Sinnoh Champion to conspire to defeat the Pokémon Hunters.

I will activate the two-dimensional foil when necessary!
