He quickly clicked on the buyer's information, whose certification mark was a lion badge burning with flames, officially awarded by the alliance.
—Gym Leader-level Trainer.
Turns out he's a true top-tier expert.
A huge weight was lifted from Lin Che's chest. Only trainers of this caliber truly understood the value of a high-grade evolution stone, and only they had the audacity to offer such an astonishing price.
Soon, the other party sent a brief message, agreeing on the time and place for the transaction.
—2 PM, Shanghai Trainers Association, Notary Office No. 3.
……
The Shanghai Trainers Association building is solemn and imposing, exuding a cold, metallic, and rock-like feel.
Guided by the staff, Lin Che entered Notary Office No. 3.
There were already people in the room.
He was a burly middle-aged man, dressed in well-fitting casual clothes, with bulging muscles in his arms and high temples, exuding a powerful aura of someone who had been trained for a long time.
He saw Lin Che, extended his hand, and spoke in a loud voice.
"You must be the seller? I'm 'Flame Lion,' and the stones are quite nice."
"Hello."
Lin Che shook hands with him and could feel the astonishing strength emanating from the other's palm.
Under the supervision of the association's notary personnel, the entire transaction process was efficient and rigorous.
Inspect the goods to confirm their quality.
Sign an electronic transfer agreement.
Transfer of funds.
When Lin Che's personal terminal emitted a crisp notification sound, he opened his bank account.
A string of brand-new numbers lies quietly in the balance column.
2,500,000.00.
Lin Che stared at the string of zeros, and his nerves, which had been tense for several days, finally relaxed completely.
This money was the first cornerstone for him to step onto a broader stage.
With it, all expenses in the early stages of university will no longer be a problem.
He finally had a sliver of confidence to make a living in this money-burning world.
In the following days, Lin Che's life returned to normal.
Then one hot afternoon, the doorbell rang.
The postal courier delivered a thick, gold-embossed envelope. In the very center of the envelope was a school emblem imprinted with an intricate process—a soaring Dragonite circling a Poké Ball.
Magic City Elf University.
Lin Che opened the envelope and took out the admission notice that carried the dreams of countless candidates.
The paper has an excellent texture and a faint, pleasant scent of ink.
His gaze finally fell on a line of small print at the end of the notification.
"Please arrive at school early on August 1st to participate in a month-long outdoor survival training program for freshmen."
Training camp?
A new light ignited in Lin Che's eyes.
This is exactly what he expected.
True trainers can never stay in a greenhouse.
That evening, his parents looked at the huge sum of money in his account, but didn't ask any questions about its source. They simply left all the tuition and living expenses they had prepared, along with the money from selling the evolution stones, on his card without taking a single penny.
"Don't mistreat yourself when you're out there."
Zhou Ya's mother's words of advice were simple yet heartwarming.
After settling everything in, the first thing Lin Che did was dial that familiar number.
The call was connected very quickly.
"Hey?"
Xu Qingyan's clear voice came through the receiver, tinged with uncertainty.
"I've been accepted by Shanghai University."
Lin Che's voice was calm, but the curve of his lips was undeniable.
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a second.
Immediately following was an uncontrollable, joyful cheer.
"That's great! Lin Che, we really are alumni now!"
Her voice was full of joy, each word like a dancing musical note.
"So... when school starts, can we go to Shanghai together?"
The girl's voice suddenly lowered, carrying a hint of cautious inquiry.
"of course can."
Lin Che smiled and agreed.
"Ok!"
Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Xu Qingyan's emotions clearly rose even higher.
"Lin Che, your Arcanine was really amazing in the secret realm last time! Also, how did you find that Fire Stone? Was the secret realm particularly dangerous? Did you encounter any other rare Pokémon?"
A barrage of questions came her way; she was filled with curiosity about everything about Lin Che, and had become a complete fangirl.
Lin Che leaned back on the sofa, patiently answering each question, enjoying this unique admiration.
After hanging up the phone, in Xu Qingyan's dormitory.
"So, so, did he agree?"
My best friend, who had been eavesdropping the whole time, immediately poked her head out from the top bunk.
"Yes! We agreed to go to school together!"
A faint blush lingered on Xu Qingyan's cheeks, like the sunset reflected on the snow.
"I'll just say it!"
Her best friend slid down the ladder, grabbed her shoulder, and began to coax her gently.
"Qingyan, you'd better seize this opportunity!"
"The top scorer in the city, with such mysterious and powerful abilities, this kind of treasure boy is simply a walking beacon of light! If you don't take the initiative, who knows how many amazing girls will swarm around you when you get to a place like university!"
Her best friend's words were like a pebble thrown into Xu Qingyan's heart.
She looked down at her phone screen.
On the screen was Lin Che's profile picture, a profile with no expression.
But it was this face that made her heart race.
perhaps……
Should I really be more proactive in my upcoming university life?
A bold idea quietly sprouted in the girl's heart.
Chapter 24 An unexpected encounter at the station, the growth of the Alola Vulpix!
There is still more than a month before school starts.
During this period, Lin Che completely disappeared from the public eye and did not set foot in any secret realms again.
Arcanine's level has firmly stalled at LV.40, making regular wild training yield negligible results. More importantly, a Arcanine of such a high level would be too conspicuous if it went all out in the wild, easily attracting unwanted attention and trouble.
Caution is the first cornerstone on the path to becoming a strong person.
Therefore, he poured all his resources and efforts into another elf with equally unfathomable potential.
Alola Vulpix.
In a private training center on the outskirts of Shanghai, specifically designed for Ice-type Pokémon, a chill permeates the air.
"Woo~"
The snow-white six-tailed creature stood gracefully on the ice crystal field, its six fluffy tails swaying elegantly, its pure blue eyes fixed on a high-speed moving target machine in front of it.
"Now, Six-Tails, concentrate."
Lin Che's voice was calm and clear, echoing in the empty stadium.
In front of him was a sophisticated tactical analyzer, the screen of which was updating in real time the physiological data and energy fluctuation curves of the Six-Tails.
As he finished speaking, the six-tailed fox's small body sank slightly, and a halo of ice-blue light quickly gathered around it.
"【Ice Shard】!"
The moment the command was given, Liuwei leaped forward, and several diamond-shaped ice shards gleaming with cold light appeared out of thin air and shot out at a speed that was difficult to detect with the naked eye, accurately hitting the red indicator light on the side of the target machine!
"Beep! Hit the target area, speed 0.8 seconds, pass the test."
The mechanical beeping sounded in the training hall.
Lin Che looked at the data on the screen and nodded slightly, but he didn't relax at all.
"Good, keep this pace. Next, create distance, [Aurora Beam] ready."
The six-tailed creature swiftly retreated, creating a distance of nearly twenty meters between itself and the target drone. It raised its head, its small mouth slightly open, and a dazzling, cold beam of light, imbued with a seven-colored halo, suddenly shot out!
Wherever the beam of light passed, the moisture in the air instantly condensed into ice crystals, which then fell down in a soft rustling sound.
boom!
