Chapter 143: Tropius, Want A Wife?
Among these dozens of possibilities, discovering even one real mine would be very lucky.
After marking all the places in this secret realm where mines might appear, Lu Li searched for Ice Stone Veins based on his judgment of attribute energy.
More than an hour passed again.
Ekaterina next to him was already getting a bit impatient. Just as Ekaterina was about to interrupt Lu Li, he finally stopped what he was doing.
After putting down the notebook, Lu Li excitedly said, “It’s these three places. If nothing unexpected happens, Ice Stone Veins might appear at all three locations.”
“Three?”
Ekaterina was somewhat disbelieving.
The probability of Evolution Stone Veins appearing in a medium-sized secret realm is indeed quite high. Normally, there would be at least no fewer than five Evolution Stone Veins in a medium-sized secret realm.
If lucky, there could even be a dozen or so.
Don’t think this probability is very high. You must know that a medium-sized secret realm has a massive area of 400,000 square kilometers. Under such a vast area, having a few Evolution Stone Veins is simply too normal.
Ekaterina ultimately chose to believe Lu Li’s eyes, after all, they were the Ideal Eye that could see through the future.
“Then tomorrow we’ll go check out these three places first.” Ekaterina said directly.
Seeing that Ekaterina believed him, Lu Li didn’t say anything more.
He was serious about finding the Spine Dragon Pokémon Egg, at least in this secret realm.
Ekaterina, holding the notebook, complained, “This time difference is a bit tricky to adjust to. We just finished breakfast and it’s already dark. We can’t go to rest now, right?”
“No wonder there were so many people at that market just now. They must know the situation inside the secret realm.” Lu Li also complained.
“Anyway, we’re just idling, how about we……”
Ekaterina looked at Lu Li with sparkling eyes.
Lu Li: “……”
Sensing Ekaterina’s gaze, Lu Li seriously educated her on the law: “In the Jiuzhou Region, you’re considered an adult at 18. I just turned 16 this year.”
“Don’t worry, if I really wanted to eat you, it’d have to wait a few years.” Ekaterina rolled her eyes at Lu Li, then explained, “What I mean is, how about we have some fun together?”
Lu Li: “？？？”
The aloof princess turning into a female thug?
This sudden development made Lu Li suspect if Ekaterina had multiple personalities?
With you acting like this, it looks like you want to drive a little car!
“You should have brought your phone, right? I’ll send you an app.” Ekaterina said.
Realizing he might have misunderstood something, Lu Li quickly took out his phone.
Soon, Ekaterina sent an app over from her phone.
“Pokémon Battle Simulation?” Looking at the name of the software, Lu Li raised his eyebrows.
Seeing Lu Li’s reaction, Ekaterina asked puzzledly, “You don’t know about this game?”
You must know this is the most popular game right now, loved by youths everywhere. Many trainers like to use this game to test their tactics.
Lu Li shook his head.
He had indeed heard of this game, but he had been busy with cultivation before and never had the chance to play.
“I’ll teach you……”
Next, Ekaterina taught Lu Li.
Lu Li, who had played Nintendo games before transmigrating, quickly figured out the game rules.
Pokémon Battle Simulation was similar to the Pokémon games he played in his previous life, with the same four skills and Pokémon battles.
Having successfully gotten the hang of it, the corners of Lu Li’s mouth curved up slightly. He was already starting to consider which cancerous tactic from his previous life to use to teach this woman a lesson.
Half an hour later……
The upturned corners of Lu Li’s mouth slightly flattened.
This woman seems to have some skills.
Two hours later……
Lu Li’s facial expression started to become serious.
This woman seems to have a lot of skills.
Four hours later……
Oh no, this woman is an expert!
“Ahem, judging by the time, it should be lunchtime. How about I go make some food first?” Lu Li probed.
Ekaterina, putting away her phone, had a face full of smiles. She was obviously having a great time.
Ekaterina patted Lu Li’s shoulder encouragingly and said, “Your understanding of Pokémon skills and abilities is pretty good. If it were an ordinary person, they’d definitely get crushed by you, a novice. Unfortunately, you ran into older sister me.”
Lu Li: “……”
Lu Li felt it was too embarrassing. As a transmigrator, and a Nintendo player at that, after transmigrating to the Pokémon World, he actually got crushed in a Pokémon battle game by a native?
Is there no justice? Is there no law?
From this, Lu Li came to a conclusion.
Don’t challenge someone’s profession with your hobby.
In this world of universal trainers, since the Pokémon Battle Simulation game was developed, the various cancerous tactics in this world are definitely even more abundant than in the world before transmigration.
You can’t expect a bronze-level player to dominate in a world ruled by professional players after transmigrating.
This is neither logical nor realistic.
Today, Lu Li was taught a lesson by Ekaterina.
Any tactic he used once would be targeted by Ekaterina the second time, then he’d get beaten badly.
Perhaps feeling that abusing a novice was too much, Ekaterina specially reminded him, “Just make something simple.”
Lu Li nodded with a dark face, then started searching for ingredients in Ekaterina’s backpack.
After opening the backpack, Lu Li’s facial expression stiffened upon seeing what was inside.
Oh no!
He seemed to have grabbed the wrong backpack.
After stealthily glancing at Ekaterina, Lu Li quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Good thing that woman wasn’t looking around.
Just as Lu Li was about to put down the backpack, a very abstract face appeared in front of him.
Looking at this Jynx face that suddenly appeared, Lu Li was so startled he almost cried out.
“Jynx? Why did you suddenly appear here?” Lu Li asked awkwardly.
“Jyn~”
The Jynx seriously pointed at the backpack in Lu Li’s hand.
At this time, Ekaterina also noticed the commotion here.
“Weren’t you preparing ingredients? How did you let Jynx out?” Ekaterina asked.
Lu Li: “……”
“Because the backpacks look the same, and I seem to have accidentally grabbed the wrong one.” Lu Li explained awkwardly.
Hearing this, Ekaterina at first didn’t think much of it. So what if he grabbed the wrong backpack? What’s the big deal?
But Ekaterina quickly reacted.
She had only brought two backpacks: one with ingredients, the other with personal items.
He grabbed the wrong backpack, which means……
Thinking of this, Ekaterina’s facial expression instantly turned red.
“Put that down for me right now!” Ekaterina snatched the backpack from Lu Li’s hand.
“Ahem, the environment in the secret realm is a bit cold. Try not to dress too revealingly, it’s easy to catch a cold.” Lu Li advised seriously.
After saying that, Lu Li secretly sized up Ekaterina.
He simply couldn’t imagine it.
Under such a proper appearance, there were actually such bold clothes.
Of course, Lu Li thought dressing was a matter of freedom.
You can’t discriminate against someone just because they have some special hobbies.
“Here.”
Ekaterina, with a dark face, shoved the other backpack at Lu Li.
“You didn’t see anything today!” Ekaterina had the look of someone who would silence him if he said one more word.
Lu Li nodded obediently.
After this embarrassing mix-up, Lu Li quickly prepared the meal.
It was just two simple home-cooked dishes,
If at home, such fare wouldn’t be anything special.
But in a dangerous secret realm, eating two piping hot home-cooked dishes was absolutely top-tier enjoyment.
In the face of the delicacy, Ekaterina quickly forgot the previous embarrassment.
While Ekaterina was savoring the delicacy, Lu Li deliberately went outside the tent and released Tropius and the others.
After feeding pills to Tropius and them, Lu Li gently patted Tropius’s thigh.
“Tropius, do you like Lord Serpent?” Lu Li asked with a smile.
“Trop~”
（Trainer, I’m still a child.）
Tropius speechlessly rolled its eyes at Lu Li.
Lu Li retorted, “You’ve already entered the growth stage, how are you still a child? Look at Charmander? He’s young but already knows how to be a simp.
You’re at a ripe old age, can’t you have some feelings for a pretty female Pokémon?”
“Char~”
（You’re the simp! Your whole family are dogs! I’m a dragon!）
Charmander jumped up and down in anger nearby.
The dog trainer was too insulting to Pokémon. He was clearly a simp for dragons, yet he was called a simp for dogs.
Lu Li: “……”
“Yohoho!”
“You’ve even got pride in being a simp?”
Lu Li looked at Charmander in surprise.
“Char~”
（Milotic older sister is number one in the world! I’m willing to be older sister’s simp dragon for a lifetime.）
Lu Li: “……”
Facing Charmander’s praise, Milotic just coldly glanced at him, then turned her head away.
Little simp dragon, ridiculous.
The naive Charmander hadn’t yet suffered the harsh beatings of reality and was full of thoughts about getting the moon first near the water tower.
The reason Lu Li was egging Tropius on to find love was also for Tropius’s own good.
Tropius was male, and the secret realm overlord Lord Serpent was female.
Lu Li felt that overlord Lord Serpent was worthy of an honest child like Tropius.
As for whether they could lay eggs?
They both belonged to the plant group, so why couldn’t they be together.
In the Pokémon matchmaking market, his own Tropius was absolutely a high-quality male Pokémon.
It had an orchard at home, which in the human world would be landlord class, plus it had unique skills and astonishing talent.
Tropius was flawless in every aspect except for its somewhat weak strength.
Moreover, as an overlord Pokémon, Lord Serpent couldn’t possibly find a stronger Pokémon, because this secret realm simply didn’t have any Pokémon stronger than Lord Serpent.
Lu Li, who had risen by eating soft rice, deeply understood the way of soft rice. If Tropius could eat Lord Serpent’s soft rice, they could save more than a decade of struggle.
“Trop~”
（I’m not interested in these romantic things.）
Tropius once again firmly stated its position.
It! Tropius! The future berry king didn’t want to date!
“That’s really too bad.” Lu Li shook his head somewhat regretfully.
If Tropius wasn’t interested, then forget it.
Besides, that Lord Serpent might not fancy Tropius anyway. After all, in terms of looks, Lord Serpent absolutely crushed Tropius.
And it was a tsundere snake.
With that personality, if it had Milotic’s skin, it would simply be Milotic number two.
