Chapter 155: The Genius Who Played Himself Out
Hearing this, Lu Li nodded in sudden realization.
As everyone knows, the Asian Alliance has never been harmonious internally.
For example, the Yamato Region and the Jiuzhou Region—the Yamato Region is located overseas, and combined with the factors from the Truth Contest period, the Yamato Region has always leaned toward the North American Alliance.
But the problem is that the North American Alliance is too far away from them and has no interest in pulling them into the alliance, so the Yamato Region became the North American Alliance’s bridgehead in the Asian Alliance region.
Perhaps knowing that the Asian Alliance will eventually disband, the Jiuzhou Region has always had some alliance policies that don’t exist.
Gym Level bodyguards—Lu Li certainly wanted them, and if they were Pokémon, that would be even better, because human nature is complex, and he had too many secrets on him.
His future was bright, and Lu Li didn’t dare to gamble with his own life.
If they sent a stronger assassin from that side, like a Gym Level assassin, wouldn’t he be done for?
“Can I apply now?” Lu Li asked expectantly.
Qu Zhengyi nodded.
“What attribute Guardian do you want?” Qu Zhengyi asked.
First, rule out Psychic Type, still because he had too many secrets—Psychic Type Trainers had the highest probability of discovering his secrets.
Next was Ghost Type; Ghost Type Pokémon were elusive, and he wouldn’t even know if he was being monitored.
Having an idea in mind, Lu Li asked: “Can I choose Dragon Type?”
“What do you think?”
Qu Zhengyi gave Lu Li a look.
How could a Gym Level Dragon Type Trainer possibly come to be a Guardian? The people who took on this mission were basically those lacking resources or with no future; they took on Guardian missions hoping to connect with future Heavenly Kings or even Champions through this kind of investment.
And how could proud Dragon Type Trainers possibly lack resources or have no future?
Seeing Qu Zhengyi’s reaction, Lu Li knew there was no chance this time.
Lu Li nodded helplessly, then asked again: “What about Flying Type?”
“Flying Type? That should be fine.”
Qu Zhengyi nodded.
“But Flying Type isn’t suited for protection—are you sure you want to choose Flying Type?” Qu Zhengyi asked again.
Lu Li nodded decisively.
The biggest advantage of Flight Trainers was that if they couldn’t win, they could run, and Flying Type had a relatively low probability of discovering his secrets.
After all, his alchemy or formation research would be done in the basement, while Flying Pokémon’s home turf was the sky.
As for the orchard being exposed?
That was no big deal; it could even bring unexpected gains.
“Wait here for a bit.”
After Qu Zhengyi finished speaking, he left the interrogation room. Soon after, Qu Zhengyi came back in holding a tablet computer.
“These are all the Flight Trainers in the Southern Region willing to become Guardians—pick one. The grayed-out ones have already been selected.”
Lu Li took the tablet computer.
The tablet computer contained a series of personnel lists, with concise descriptions of these Trainers’ information.
Wang Gang, Flight Trainer…Gym Level Late Stage…First Tier fully built, Second Tier in progress.
Po Kong, Flight Trainer…Gym Level Mid-stage…First Tier fully built, Second Tier fully built.
Yibo…
Lu Li noticed that these Trainers’ First Tiers were already full; no wonder Qu Zhengyi said their potential had reached its end.
The list had nearly a hundred people.
Seeing this data, Lu Li was still a bit surprised.
The Southern Jiuzhou Region actually had so many Gym Level Trainers, and these were all ones whose potential was exhausted. If you added those not interested in becoming Guardians, the Jiuzhou Region’s Gym Level Trainers were at least 500.
However, the Southern Region had over two hundred cities with Gyms, so 500 Gym Trainers wasn’t actually that many.
Lu Li first eliminated those who were relatively old—old people are cunning, and Lu Li didn’t think he could outplay those veteran Trainers.
Then he eliminated those with credit issues. As he kept eliminating, Lu Li locked onto his final target.
“Why is there such an oddball here?” Lu Li asked, pointing to the person’s entry.
Yao Yifei.
This was a name that leaned masculine, but this person was indeed a woman, a 26-year-old woman.
And she was also a Coordinator.
Pursuing beauty is the nature of all creatures; in this strength-supreme world, there were still people pursuing the beauty of Pokémon.
Thus, the Coordinator profession was born, followed by the officially recognized Contest.
Yao Yifei was a Coordinator, and moreover, a star-level Coordinator.
“And… are you sure she’s a Flight Trainer?” Lu Li looked at Qu Zhengyi with a strange gaze.
Yao Yifei’s First Tier Pokémon: Sylveon, Togekiss, Altaria, Wigglytuff, Milotic, Vespiquen.
Seeing such an oddball team, Qu Zhengyi was also somewhat speechless, then probed: “How about you pick someone else?”
As a Flight Trainer, having only three Flying Type Pokémon in the First Tier was indeed oddball, and for secondary attributes, Fairy Type only had two, though with Mega Evolution it could count as three.
But based on this world’s empirical judgment, this child was basically ruined.
Others struggled just walking a dual-attribute path, but look at this one—that was heavyweight.
Most importantly, Yao Yifei hadn’t even formed a Second Tier.
To put it bluntly, a 26-year-old Gym Level Trainer—even if only Early Gym Level—Yao Yifei was absolutely a true favored child of heaven.
Just how good was this talent?
If you didn’t count freaks like Lu Li, Ekaterina’s talent was the ceiling of this world—a 24-year-old Gym Level Trainer.
If t0 was Ekaterina, then Yao Yifei’s talent was absolutely t1 level.
But with such good talent, she seemed to have messed it up.
A 26-year-old Gym Level Trainer officially deemed by the alliance to have exhausted potential—what irony.
The long-haired officer was also quite curious about what could cause such a big reaction from the two of them. Seeing the personnel info on the tablet computer, the long-haired officer explained meaningfully: “This one isn’t simple—you might not know, she’s also from the Yao Family’s collateral branch and the Gym Leader of Aoki Gym.”
The Yao Family, one of the Asian Alliance’s Eighteen Great Attribute Families’ Fairy Type Family, and could also be called the Qu Family’s political enemy and competitor.
Qu Suxin had been unable to become Champion for so long—there was definitely the Yao Family blocking behind the scenes.
As for the Aoki Gym Leader?
Qingmu City was also a third-level city near the Qingyun Mountain Range, with status similar to Qingfeng City, but because Qingmu City produced a lot of honey, its economy was much higher than Qingfeng City’s, so Aoki Gym existed.
Going straight through the Qingyun Mountain Range from Qingfeng City, the other side of the mountain range was Qingmu City.
