Chapter 250: When One Side Faces Trouble, All Sides Rush To Loot
“What’s the current situation in the Jiuzhou Region?” Lu Li asked nervously.
He knew all his assets were in the Real World; if something really went wrong, it would be a huge problem.
Qu Suxin comforted him, “Don’t worry, your lovers are fine. The Death Tide hasn’t spread to our Jiuzhou Region.”
“Can you…”
Lu Li tentatively asked.
Before Lu Li could finish his sentence, Qu Suxin guessed what he was worried about and explained directly, “Don’t worry, if the Death Tide really hits the Asian Alliance, I’ll have people take your lovers into the Secret Realm to take refuge.”
Lu Li didn’t dwell on the ambiguity in Qu Suxin’s words and sincerely thanked her, “Thank you, Sister Qu.”
“I should be thanking you,” Qu Suxin shook her head with a smile.
If one were to speak of help, compared to her own gains, her contributions were negligible, at least that’s how she felt.
Coincidentally, Lu Li felt the same way.
Compared to the help Qu Suxin had given him, his own contributions were insignificant.
Qu Suxin gave a wicked smile and invited, “By the way… are you interested in taking advantage of the situation?”
Lu Li: “???”
In the context of this apocalypse, you have time to go and take advantage of the situation?
But I like it.
Lu Li, who was fiercely tempted, his eyes lit up: “Elaborate.”
“Do you know Houston?” Qu Suxin asked.
Lu Li nodded.
Although he hadn’t studied geography much, he still knew some less profound facts.
As one of the largest cities in the America Region’s southern area, Houston is a center for the energy industry and also excels in healthcare and manufacturing.
“Due to the Death Tide, the America Region is completely defenseless right now, and because of the time constraints, they definitely couldn’t take everything with them when they entered the Secret Realm.”
Qu Suxin didn’t even need to finish her sentence; Lu Li knew what she was planning.
Lu Li eagerly asked, “So are we going to the Houston Pokémon Center now?”
Qu Suxin nodded and said with a smile, “Gardevoir can now take us in and out of the North American Alliance freely.”
Lu Li said, “I’m also quite interested in the North American Alliance’s Starter Pokémon technology.”
Qu Suxin nodded at Gardevoir.
As a white-cut-black (innocent on the outside, wicked on the inside) Pokémon, Gardevoir clearly had experience with this kind of criminal activity.
Teleport activated again.
The two had already arrived at the Houston Pokémon Center.
Qu Suxin went straight for the vital point: “Let’s go to the Treasury first.”
“No need to go to the Treasury, everything there has already been taken,” Gardevoir said directly.
As soon as it arrived, it had used Spiritual Power Scan on the entire Pokémon Center. The entire Treasury had been emptied. After all, nothing in the Treasury was large and it was very easy to move.
“What a shame,” Qu Suxin sighed.
Qu Suxin asked, “What about the Nurturing Center?”
Gardevoir nodded and said, “The Nurturing Center still has some mature-bodied Starter Pokémon, and they didn’t have time to take all the data either.”
“At least we didn’t come all this way for nothing,” Qu Suxin breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
The Pokémon Centers of the North American Alliance were actually the same as those of the Asian Alliance.
There were only two most valuable places.
They were the Alliance Treasure Vault and the Nurturing Center.
The Alliance Treasure Vault was definitely out of the question, but the Nurturing Center wasn’t so easy to empty, especially in an emergency situation.
The Death Tide started from the Southern Region, and many cities were affected before they could even react.
Those small cities didn’t have much of value, so Qu Suxin wasn’t interested, but Houston was different.
Houston’s status was equivalent to the Ancient Capital of the Jiuzhou Region; it would definitely have the most complete Starter Pokémon nurturing data.
Qu Suxin said to Lu Li beside her, “I’ll give you a copy of the data. If you want the Starter Pokémon, you can have them all; I can keep the Starter Pokémon families for you first.”
Qu Suxin decided this way, also with the intention of reciprocating, as she had gained too much from Lu Li.
Qu Suxin didn’t want to keep asking Lu Li for things.
With such a good opportunity, Lu Li nodded without hesitation.
As far as Lu Li was concerned, if you dared to give, he would dare to accept.
Moreover, Qu Suxin’s way of giving was like being a nanny.
After teleporting again, the two arrived at the Nurturing Center.
“This is for you. You go copy the Starter Pokémon nurturing data, and I’ll go capture those Starter Pokémon,” Qu Suxin threw a Poké Ball to Lu Li.
Lu Li looked at the Poké Ball in his hand with confusion, his face full of bewilderment.
Qu Suxin explained, “Inside is a Porygon; it can help you copy the data from the Alliance’s technology library.”
Porygon?
Lu Li’s eyes lit up.
Porygon was not a powerful Pokémon, but it was definitely one of the most functional Pokémon.
Porygon also had a nickname: the Artificial Intelligence Pokémon.
It was no exaggeration to say that Porygon was the god of the network world.
At least in this world where Generation 2 and Type-B Porygon had not yet been born, in the network world, the only one that could deal with Porygon was Porygon.
The birth of Porygon directly ended the profession of hacker; even the world’s top hacker was as weak as a child in front of Porygon.
More importantly, Porygon was a controlled Pokémon.
Whether it was the Alliance or the dark world, Porygon was strictly controlled, because Porygon was truly terrifying in the network world. If Porygon proliferated, the entire network world would become a trash can, useless if kept, and a pity to discard.
Modern society could not do without the network world, so various forces worldwide had coincidentally controlled the circulation of Porygon.
Lu Li hadn’t expected that Qu Suxin would have a Porygon on hand.
Seeing Lu Li’s reaction, Qu Suxin asked curiously, “Do you like Porygon very much?”
Lu Li nodded without hesitation.
Which man doesn’t like artificial intelligence? Porygon’s base stat total was pitifully low, its combat talent was comparable to a Caterpie.
But its strong functionality couldn’t be ignored, and more importantly, Porygon actually had evolutionary forms, but humans hadn’t researched them yet.
Qu Suxin directly said, “Then I’ll give you one when we get back.”
Legally speaking, Porygon was indeed strictly controlled, but Qu Suxin, in a sense, represented the law, so Qu Suxin had quite a few Porygon in her possession.
After obtaining Porygon, Lu Li eagerly went to the data center of the Nurturing Center.
Looking at the electronic door in front of him, Lu Li directly released Porygon.
“Porygon, I’ll trouble you,” Lu Li said to the somewhat dazed Porygon.
“Por~”
With a soft cry, Porygon entered the electronic door.
A moment later, the electronic door opened automatically.
Lu Li activated his Spiritual Sense and directly entered the laboratory.
“Porygon, do you know where the Starter Pokémon nurturing data is?” Lu Li asked.
“Por~”
（ Of course I do. ）
“Then please copy it to this USB drive for me,” Lu Li handed the USB drive to Porygon.
Porygon nodded.
The North American Alliance had six types of Starter Pokémon. The America Region’s Starter Pokémon were mainly Pansage, Fuecoco, and Quaxly.
In the game, these three Starter Pokémon were Generation 9 Pokémon.
Especially Pansage, due to its appearance, it was almost the most popular Grass-type Starter Pokémon of all generations.
After all, what boy could refuse a catgirl in black stockings?
“Oh, and while you’re at it, help me copy all the nurturing data, like for making Energy Cubes and Pokémon Items,” Lu Li added.
The last time he took Starter Pokémon nurturing data was because he had no choice.
Now that he had a choice, he wanted it all.
Porygon made an ‘OK’ gesture on the display screen.
With Porygon’s help, all the data in the data center was copied, taking 10 minutes.
Such a massive data transfer completed in just 10 minutes; Lu Li could only say it was worthy of the artificial intelligence Porygon.
“Lu Li, are you done over there?” Gardevoir’s voice echoed in Lu Li’s mind.
Lu Li replied, “I’m done here.”
“Finished, I’m coming to pick you up. Calculating the time, the America Alliance should have reacted by now,” Gardevoir urged.
“Alright,” Lu Li nodded, feeling a bit regretful.
Such a good opportunity for a life-style raid, and they only managed to sweep one Pokémon Center; it was truly a bit of a pity.
Lu Li thought with some unwillingness.
Gardevoir appeared again and directly took him back to Qu Suxin.
“Let’s leave quickly. I just received intel that the Death Tide has disappeared,” Qu Suxin said briefly.
As soon as Qu Suxin finished speaking, Gardevoir used Teleport again.
Arriving at the edge of the North Coast, Lu Li had just seen the sea when the scene in front of him changed again.
By the time Lu Li reacted, the two were already back in the Jiuzhou Region.
Qu Suxin explained, “All the top Trainers from around the world are rushing to the North American Alliance now. To avoid causing trouble, we can only leave first.”
Lu Li: “???”
Lu Li was somewhat surprised.
Was this still the Pokémon World he knew?
When one side is in trouble, eight sides offer support?
How could something like this happen to the America Alliance? America in this world was even more outrageous than the United States before his transmigration when it came to not being human.
Just this one Alliance? In a time of crisis, could various regions put aside their grudges to support America?
“Due to the Death Tide, America is currently in a state of defenselessness; it can even be said to be unguarded,” Qu Suxin said meaningfully.
When one side is in trouble, eight sides offer support?
Don’t be ridiculous!
How could those forces be so kind-hearted?
“So it’s also taking advantage of the situation?” Lu Li suddenly understood.
Qu Suxin nodded: “…”
“The current United States is like a stunning beauty who has been stripped naked, and other forces are lecherous brutes. When they go at this time, of course, they are going to do as they please,” Qu Suxin explained.
Lu Li asked curiously, “With such a good opportunity, the Jiuzhou Alliance didn’t get tempted?”
“How could they not?” Qu Suxin gave Lu Li a look, then coldly sneered, “As far as I know, half of the Eighteen Great Attribute Families have gone. Although they were shouting ‘International Rescue,’ their destination was the major cities of the America Region.”
At a time like this, even the local powers in the America Region would seize the opportunity to take a bite of the meat to supplement themselves, let alone the powers from other regions.
Lu Li suddenly realized: “Then…”
“If nothing unexpected happens, we’ll receive news of the North American Alliance’s dissolution the day after tomorrow, or possibly tomorrow,” Qu Suxin said with schadenfreude.
The first to announce dissolution was the Asian Alliance, but the first to collapse was the European Alliance, and the second was the North American Alliance, which insisted on opposing the alliance system.
It had to be said that sometimes things in this world were just that comical.
“If there are any follow-ups to this matter, please be sure to tell me,” Lu Li sincerely requested.
Lu Li was quite happy to be a bystander and watch such a welcome event unfold.
Qu Suxin, in a very good mood, nodded.
Bringing Lu Li to the Green Hell Secret Realm this time was the wisest decision she had ever made in her life.
The Xerneas’s Horn Fragment was not to be underestimated; with this Divine Item, she had half a foot into the Divine Realm.
Then there was the data box obtained from the North American Alliance, which contained the complete nurturing data for Starter Pokémon; this was a core technology of the North American Alliance.
Although she couldn’t use it openly, it could still bring considerable benefits to the Qu Family.
The only regret was that there were no Fairy-type Pokémon among the America Region’s Starter Pokémon, otherwise, it would have been truly perfect.
Of course, the most important thing was that she had confirmed Lu Li’s true identity.
Qu Suxin was now almost certain that Lu Li was the Ideal Messenger! One who could completely drop the word “Reserve.”
A Reserve Ideal Messenger definitely wouldn’t have Lu Li’s capabilities.
After the initial excitement, Qu Suxin, gradually calming down, also cautioned, “I may need to go into seclusion for a while next. Coupled with the current turbulent world situation, it’s best for you to stay obediently at school and try not to go to dangerous places during this time.”
Lu Li nodded.
He indeed had no intention of causing trouble outside in the near future.
On one hand, he needed to digest what he had gained from this trip, and on the other hand, school was about to start. He would have to shuttle between school and home, and he truly didn’t have time to cause trouble.
“It’s good that you know,” Qu Suxin nodded with relief.
“Oh, right, call that woman Ekaterina when you have time. She’s been calling me and it’s wasted quite a bit of my time,” Qu Suxin reminded him again.
Lu Li nodded, then wondered curiously, “How are Qu Suxin and Ekaterina such good friends?”
After all, the Qu Family and the Yekaterina Family were two completely unrelated families. How could those two get involved?
Even if it was because of him, their relationship shouldn’t be this good, right?
“I’ll have someone send Porygon to you when I get back. Do you need anything else?” Qu Suxin continued to ask.
Qu Suxin, who was wholeheartedly intending to compensate Lu Li, truly wished she could send him more things.
Lu Li hesitated for a moment, then proactively said, “I’m still short on some materials, and they’re hard to procure…”
“Give me a list, and I’ll help you collect them,” Qu Suxin said directly.
Lu Li: “…”
Lu Li was speechless. He had originally planned to say that the materials were hard to procure and that he would pay for her to help him procure some.
It turns out this woman didn’t even want the money.
Mm!
Lu Li could only say that Qu Suxin looked truly beautiful when she was being magnanimous.
