Chapter 63: Xingye: Let Me Tell You A Story
At the same time, outside the Secret Realm.
White Dragon High Artificial Secret Realm observation point.
The 6 homeroom teachers of Classes A-F were gathered around the holographic projection.
“What’s the situation with Class A? Why are there still two drones not in position? Didn’t they check the terminal prompts? Didn’t the homeroom teacher give instructions before entering the Secret Realm?” A tall male teacher made a clearly targeted remark.
Xi Ran pushed up her glasses, ignoring Class B’s homeroom teacher Su Chenglin.
Little loli Teacher Liang Gong hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over, “Oh~ it’s just a storm, a storm, there are satellites over the Secret Realm too, Zuo Hang and Lin Ping’s record won’t be delayed.”
“Teacher Liang Gong!” Su Chenglin looked down at Liang Gong, the height difference between them was enormous, which made Teacher Su have to lower his head every time he talked to her.
“Some homeroom teachers indeed haven’t done their jobs properly, homeroom teachers must fulfill their duties, some teachers if they lack the ability, should put down the burden early.”
“Oh~~ satellite footage is coming through, it seems to be number 001.” Liang Gong chuckled lightly, interrupting Teacher Su’s speech.
The 6 teachers all turned their gazes to the holographic projection at the same time.
This was an upward angle shot from the satellite.
A patch of black.
Just a small-scale thunderstorm.
It wasn’t natural weather inside the Secret Realm, everyone present was a trainer of certain strength, they could easily tell from the range of the thunderclouds and the color of the lightning that this was an Electric-type skill, Thunder!
“Just entering the venue and it’s the black area, your Class A is really unlucky, this Zuo Hang and Lin Ping seem to be the class monitor and vice class leader, right? What a coincidence, two main forces knocked out together, at this rate, for this year’s Secret Realm first battle points first place, my Class B has it in the bag.” Class B homeroom teacher Su Chenglin said confidently.
Xi Ran didn’t respond.
The black clouds dispersed, the satellite zoomed in, giving a close-up of two charred Hydreigon.
The camera just captured Zuo Hang and Lin Ping coming out of the cave.
The two had no idea there was a satellite overhead, and walked past the two downed dragons as usual.
“These two Hydreigon were taken down by them?” Su Chenglin’s face suddenly turned pale, saying incredulously. Xi Ran still didn’t respond.
Five minutes later.
The two had already walked far away, the drones that should have been in position over their heads ten minutes ago arrived late.
The drone scanned the two downed dragons, obtaining S and S+ data.
Because of the thunderstorm there was no battle video, their scores didn’t increase for the time being.
“Come on, Minasan~~, time for us to work~” Class C’s Teacher Liang Gong clapped her hands, attracting the attention of the other five teachers just like when getting students’ attention in class.
“You’ve all seen the footage, the AI on the drone didn’t give them points, so judge based on the on-site footage.”
“I think points can be added.” Teacher Xi Ran spoke first this time.
“Ala~~ I mean the same as little Xi Ran~ points can be added.” Teacher Liang Gong followed.
Class D’s homeroom teacher suddenly spoke: “You two, taking sides too obviously, first look at these two students’ battle videos from the past two weeks, if they really have the ability to take them down, then points for these two Hydreigon can be added.”
Class F’s female teacher spoke: “The black clouds captured by the satellite are clearly the Thunder skill, and Zuo Hang’s main Pokémon is Pikachu, I watched the class monitor election video from a week ago and his solo with Jiang Xia, I believe his Pokémon is fully capable of taking down these two Hydreigon.”
Su Chenglin fell silent.
No one spoke for half a minute, except Xi Ran, the other four teachers all looked at him.
Feeling the pressure around him, Su Chenglin was helpless.
“Since none of you have objections, I certainly don’t either.”
“—clap~” Teacher Liang Gong clapped her hands, “Then it’s decided! Points will be added!”
At the same time.
White Dragon Secret Realm ecological dense area.
Two drones appeared behind Zuo Hang and Lin Ping.
Unlike the ones inside White Dragon High that were purely for filming.
The drones’ skeletal exteriors had optical camouflage + AT force fields, the propeller sounds almost inaudible.
Zuo Hang noticed the two things that suddenly appeared over his head, but Lin Ping continued forward as if nothing happened.
“@Hangzi Ge’s simp, Xingye where are you? Lin Ping and I are coming to meet you.” Zuo Hang typed in the group chat.
Xingye: “I’m still in Rainforest Area A, no rush to find me. Hangzi Ge, do you know how Secret Realms come about?”
Zuo Hang: “No idea, why would I know that? Don’t wander off, Lin Ping and I will come find you, as long as two people’s terminals are within one kilometer they can locate each other.”
Xingye: “Sheesh, I said no rush to find me, no danger here for now.”
Xingye continued typing: “I heard Secret Realms have existed for a very long time. So-called Secret Realms are actually projections of parts of another world onto our world, the 448 Secret Realm we’re in now, it’s said it used to be a world without Pokémon.”
Zuo Hang frowned, typing: “What are you talking about? Isn’t 448 an Artificial Secret Realm?”
Xingye: “What artificial or not, originally there’s nothing in Secret Realms, plant a few trees inside, sweep around with skills like grass venue seeds machine gun and such, throw in a few Pokémon eggs, in a hundred years, this ghost place becomes an Artificial Secret Realm!”
Lin Ping: “How do you know about this?”
Xingye: “The Xingye family has a small Artificial Secret Realm, besides… this isn’t any secret, you guys just don’t know.”
What Zuo Hang cared about wasn’t the intel Xingye said, but why Xingye was suddenly talking about things unrelated to this Secret Realm exploration.
Zuo Hang typed: “What’s the situation on your end? Did you see something?”
Xingye: “To be honest, I thought I could call White Dragon to save me, but this thing in front of me doesn’t seem dangerous.”
Lin Ping: “Less nonsense, what exactly did you see?”
Xingye: “I’m bad at memorizing the Pokédex, no impression of many obscure Pokémon, but this one in front of me definitely isn’t from our neck of the woods, art style’s totally different, that thing… did you see what I just sent?”
Gardevoir used Psychic to carry Zuo Hang and Lin Ping in slow flight, by the time Xingye was typing, the terminal had already picked up his signal.
“Saw it, just turn back directly.” Zuo Hang and Lin Ping landed.
Xingye saw Zuo Hang, and Zuo Hang also saw the “not from our neck of the woods” Pokémon Xingye mentioned.
—All black, like a black ball, the “ball” connected to two thick short legs on the sides, the mouth taking up about half the body, two closed eyes on the upper jaw, a yellow gem embedded above the forehead.
Two black tentacles at the end of the lower jaw, or maybe tongues, looking very smooth.
This area wasn’t rainforest, but a ruined city sandwiched in the middle of the rainforest.
Cracked asphalt road underfoot, weeds growing inside, surrounding high-rises only left with some ruins, from the architectural style one could roughly tell these buildings were similar to the central areas of those third- and fourth-tier small cities five years ago.
No vitality or modern tech feel, gray-white and earthy yellow color scheme.
Might be a bit unfamiliar to Lin Ping and Xingye, but to Zuo Hang it felt a bit familiar.
Begging for votes brothers~~
