Chapter 115: Episode 13 Xingye: “brothers League, Hangzi Ge Is Trending Again”
On the other side, at the edge of the Arena, a certain very unlucky man was excitedly rubbing his hands.
He was the Canned Food who had come down from the top floor not long ago.
“Material’s here! Material’s here!! After two months, my Herring Can is back on its feet!”
Canned Food is an ID, full name Herring Can native to Europe. Because he often livestreams draws and is abnormally unlucky, all Three Bounces supplies are guaranteed bottom, Onmyoji Little Deer Male Severed Non-Chief. During livestreams, all sorts of Famous Scenes emerge endlessly, so his Fans jokingly call him “Non-Fish Can.”
The battle footage of Zuo Hang and Madame Blood Dragon was recorded throughout by a Camera. Zuo Hang saw the Canned Food, Madame Blood Dragon also saw the Canned Food, but neither paid any attention to it.
Many photographers like recording Pokémon battle footage, which is very common in the circle, but there are also plenty of unscrupulous Marketing Accounts that always make articles out of videos of various Celebrities.
Zuo Hang is not a Celebrity, so he wasn’t too panicked.
Madame Blood Dragon is a Celebrity, but she wasn’t panicked either.
Zuo Hang suddenly thought that Blood Dragon was European and probably didn’t know how disgusting domestic Marketing Accounts could be. Zuo Hang had heard that foreign countries also had some unscrupulous media, even more Clickbait than domestic Marketing Accounts. For a Celebrity like Blood Dragon, she was probably immune to negative news already.
“So, what do you think? Interested in Ultra Beast Boost?” Madame Blood Dragon recalled the Pokémon on the field and said to Zuo Hang.
“If you had won, those words might have been a bit more convincing, but unfortunately, you lost. But I’ve already seen how strong Ultra Beast Boost is. You’re not wrong—even Salamence in the 【 Boost 】 state maintains the rationality a normal Pokémon should have. However, this still can’t be a reason for me to accept Aether.”
“Changing a Pokémon’s original traits to turn it into an Ultra Beast that boosts strength through killing—frankly, I can’t agree with this practice!”
Madame Blood Dragon interrupted: “It seems you still have a Misunderstanding about us. You saw it just now—even without Pokémon kills, Salamence can still enjoy the effects of Ultra Beast Boost.”
Madame Blood Dragon pondered for a few seconds.
“How about this: you join Aether and learn about us from the Internal side. Trust me, if you knew what Aether has been fighting against, you wouldn’t say things like that.”
‘Join Aether?’
Zuo Hang didn’t expect the other party to throw him an Olive Branch so easily. He remembered Isabella saying that Aether was divided into Core Members and field agents; field agents were just errand runners, only Core Members could access Aether’s Internal.
“Field agent or Core?” Since Madame Blood Dragon threw him an Olive Branch, Zuo Hang straightforwardly asked.
“Of course Core!” Madame Blood Dragon said.
“You’ve already joined as a field agent; the strongest is about that little girl Isabella’s Strength. With your Level, you can directly become a Core Member, plus my Recommendation, reaching Level 5 would just be a matter of months.”
Seemingly knowing Zuo Hang wouldn’t agree easily, Madame Blood Dragon continued: “Aether has free access rights to any Venue under League Jurisdiction. Those high-risk zones and wild Secret Realms that ordinary people can’t enter—you can go in and out freely with Aether’s Identification.”
Hearing this, Zuo Hang pulled out a piece of Identification from his pocket.
“Investigator, Three-star Special Agent. Sorry, I can already casually enter High-Risk Zones and Secret Realms now, but I’m pretty busy lately. Though it’s just some unimportant little things, they’re still quite important to me. Currently, I have no plans to run High-Risk Zones and Secret Realms. Plus, White Dragon has Secret Realms inside too. You’re with Aether, so you must know about Secret Realm No. 2077.”
Madame Blood Dragon clearly froze upon hearing 2077, then seemed to remember something and said: “White Dragon… right, you’re White Dragon’s student.”
“You’ve probably seen the Dead World, right?”
“Of course I’ve seen it,” Zuo Hang said.
“What’s your White Dragon Adaptability??”
“?? Adaptability? I’m zero. Why suddenly ask this?!”
“Zero??” White Dragon’s eyes flashed with obvious shock.
She suddenly became very agitated, stepped forward a few paces, placed both hands on Zuo Hang’s shoulders, her hunched Body trembling somewhat.
“No matter what! You must come to Aether with me! The Dead World… in Aether, you’ll see completely different things!”
Zuo Hang took a step back.
Madame Blood Dragon’s attitude made him a bit panicked; that pair of sunken Eyes made him instinctively want to dodge.
Eyes filled with Curiosity, Desire for the unknown and Strength—just like those crazy scientists at the end of Martial Fighting Star’s Extinction period.
“I get it. Aether, I’ll join.”
Madame Blood Dragon’s Eyes let Zuo Hang know that even if he refused now, the other party absolutely wouldn’t give up easily.
Moreover, those Eyes indeed made Zuo Hang even more Curious about Aether’s Internal.
Trainers are never short on Curiosity about the unknown. In a sense, Trainers have quite a few similarities with those crazy people.
Hearing Zuo Hang agree, Madame Blood Dragon’s sunken Eyes became even more agitated, and at the same time, her always tense Body suddenly relaxed.
“Good, how about today? I’ll take you to headquarters right now. Aether’s headquarters is very far by flying; from here, it takes about a day to fly there.”
“A day?”
Zuo Hang pondered.
He first thought about how far one day of flight could cover. If it was Gardevoir, flying out of the country would definitely be enough, of course, depending on the direction.
“Not today; our Pokémon all need Recovery, at least a day of Rest.”
Madame Blood Dragon came back to her senses upon hearing this; Zuo Hang was right, their Pokémon all needed Recovery, especially hers.
“Alright then, we’ll Rest one day, and tomorrow I’ll take you to headquarters.”
That evening.
Zuo Hang went viral.
But he himself didn’t know about it.
After all, he didn’t follow Canned Food on Bilibili, nor had he watched the previous episodes of Myth of the Finishing Move. He just had a battle with Madame Blood Dragon and shouted a Skill name right before it ended.
Canned Food is a veteran Top 100, his speed at churning out videos is absolutely unquestionable. In just one afternoon, he edited and published the video of Zuo Hang’s battle with Madame Blood Dragon. Bilibili’s review was also exceptionally efficient, approved in ten minutes.
Quite a few people were browsing videos that evening, including Xingye Classmate, who had been stimulated by a swarm of Beedrill during that day’s Secret Realm Exploration.
“Kids who stay up late always get surprises.” A user named Ryuji Hangzi grabbed the first Bullet Comment in the “Myth of the Finishing Move” video.
“Holy shit! Hangzi Ge!” Xingye bolted upright in bed.
“Holy shit! Isn’t that woman Blood Dragon Elite Four?” After one woc came another; Xingye exclaimed twice in a row.
