Chapter 254: The Old Man Who Gives Away Dragons, A Man Of Profound Virtue
“May I ask who you are?” Lu Li quickly asked politely.
A person who could appear silently behind him without being noticed—there definitely wasn’t such an outrageous Psychic Power in this world, but there was absolutely such a powerful Psychic Power Pokémon.
In other words, the old man in front of him was at least Champion level.
The old man smiled and said, “I am Wen Gongmao.”
Wen Gongmao?
Upon hearing this name, Lu Li’s facial expression changed, and he quickly said, “Hello, Principal Wen.”
Wen Gongmao’s name was actually more famous than Kyushu University’s principal. Twenty years ago, after retiring from the Elder Council, Wen Gongmao became Kyushu University’s principal, and he had held the position until now, almost 23 years.
Being able to retire from the Alliance Elder Council meant that the other party had already been a Master-level Trainer 20 years ago.
Now, although he had passed his peak period, his Pokémon had not.
Wen Gongmao was a Ground Type Trainer. Just like his attribute, Wen Gongmao’s mind was as broad as the earth, and his will was especially indomitable.
In the Jiuzhou Alliance, even the entire world, Wen Gongmao was synonymous with profound virtue.
What Lu Li was curious about was why the other party had sought him out. If it was just for being the champion of the Grand Festival, it shouldn’t warrant this person coming to pick him up personally, right?
Seeing more and more onlookers around, Wen Gongmao said, “Let’s leave here first.”
Lu Li nodded.
The scenery in front of them changed again, and the two instantly arrived in the office.
“Would you like some tea?” Wen Gongmao asked mildly.
Lu Li quickly replied, “Plain water is fine for me.”
Wen Gongmao nodded.
The ceramic teapot floated up automatically and poured a cup of plain water for Lu Li.
Wen Gongmao said, “The reason I personally came to see you is for two reasons. The first is that the school has decided to give you an additional reward.”
Lu Li: “???”
Lu Li looked at the old man in front of him in confusion.
Were there still such good things these days?
Unable to help it, Lu Li, who had already experienced the darkness of this world, couldn’t quite believe such a good thing delivered right to his door.
“So what’s the price?” Lu Li asked cautiously.
“No price.”
Wen Gongmao smiled and shook his head.
“This…” Somewhat hesitant, Lu Li continued to ask, “So what is the reward?”
Wen Gongmao smiled, then lightly snapped his fingers.
A Pokémon Egg appeared glistening on the desk.
“This is the reward from the Alliance and the school. Hmm! It can also be considered my sponsorship to you.” Wen Gongmao said with a smile.
Lu Li glanced indifferently at the Pokémon Egg on the desk.
Now he could no longer look at ordinary Starter Pokémon. Although it had been less than three months since he became a Trainer, the capital and strength he had accumulated in these three months were unimaginable to ordinary people.
Wen Gongmao earnestly instructed, “This is the descendant of my old acquaintance. I hope you can nurture him well.”
Hearing this, Lu Li quickly restrained his contempt.
He did have the capital to look down on Starter Pokémon now, but he absolutely had no qualification to look down on the descendant of a Champion or even a Master.
Lu Li quickly activated his Spiritual Vision Eye to check the data of the Pokémon Egg in front of him.
Lu Li: “???”
After seeing the Pokémon and its qualification inside the Pokémon Egg, three question marks slowly appeared in Lu Li’s mind.
Could this Wen Gongmao be his long-lost relative? Like a great-uncle or something.
But one surnamed Lu and one surnamed Wen—there was no relationship there.
Wen Gongmao smiled teasingly, “It seems you’ve recognized the little guy in this Pokémon Egg.”
Lu Li nodded dazedly, then asked somewhat incredulously, “Are you sure this is for me?”
Wen Gongmao nodded affirmatively, “If you dislike it, I can take it back.”
“Don’t.”
Lu Li excitedly picked up the Pokémon Egg in his hand.
Afraid the other party would change his mind, Lu Li declared, “From today on, this little guy is my family.”
Wen Gongmao also smiled as he watched this scene.
For this little guy to follow the Rainbow Hero was also a kind of fortune. He could be considered to have done right by his old acquaintance.
The reason Lu Li was excited was of course not just because of the egg’s qualification, but because of its race.
This was a Garchomp Pokémon Egg, and inside was a Gible, moreover a Champion level qualification Gible!
Lu Li racked his brains but couldn’t figure out what virtue or ability he had to receive such a gift.
To put it simply, even if Long Du came, he would drool over this Pokémon Egg.
A Champion level qualification Gible, even if someone else nurtured it, it would absolutely have Master Qualification.
Garchomp had high attack and high speed. Its only drawbacks were quadruple weakness to Ice and relatively low defense. One must know this was the real world, where Dragon Attribute Pokémon’s physique far surpassed Pokémon of the same base stat total.
Of course, Garchomp also had a fatal flaw: it didn’t know Dragon Dance. Although this had always been criticized, the problem was, what difference did a Garchomp that knew Dragon Dance have from cheating?
For Pokémon with fatal flaws in games, there was generally only one possibility: their existence seriously affected the game’s balance, so they had to have a fatal flaw.
For example, Garchomp not knowing Dragon Dance, a Pokémon with an outrageous Ability having only 1 HP, a Pokémon with an outrageous base stat total having an outrageous Ability.
Seeing this, Wen Gongmao reminded meaningfully, “By the way, next month the school will hold a new student match. The first place reward is one chance to enter the Dragon Island Secret Realm. You can grasp the opportunity well.”
“There’s such a good thing?”
A flash of excitement appeared in Lu Li’s eyes.
Dragon Island Secret Realm was a Super Large Secret Realm. Even looking globally, its resources could rank in the top three.
Of course, provided those Secret Realms inhabited by gods were not included.
Most importantly, all Dragon Clan in the world lived in Dragon Island Secret Realm, and such a place was bound to produce Dragon-related medicinal herbs.
Lu Li’s second tier was originally planning a quasi-Dragon God team. The opportunity of Dragon Island Secret Realm was crucial for him. Even if he couldn’t catch Dragon Attribute Pokémon inside, he could collect a batch of Dragon-related medicinal herbs and materials.
What was this called?
This was called sending a pillow when sleepy!
Wen Gongmao asked puzzledly, “But your university choice is indeed a bit puzzling. Are you sure you want to apply for the Pokémon Breeding department?”
The Rainbow Hero wanted to be a Breeder? This was simply outrageous!
If it weren’t confirmed that the young man in front of him was the legendary Rainbow Hero, he would suspect the Alliance’s information was fake.
“And…”
Lu Li looked at the old man in front of him somewhat embarrassed.
“If you have any difficulties, you can tell me. Whether it’s me or the Alliance, we are your strongest backing.” Wen Gongmao encouraged warmly.
Lu Li explained embarrassedly, “Um… can I not go to class? The reason I applied to Kyushu University is mainly interested in Kyushu University’s collection of books.”
Hearing this request, Wen Gongmao frowned, then said solemnly, “You may not know that many Secret Techniques cannot be learned just by reading text. As the saying goes, false transmission of ten thousand volumes of books, true transmission is one sentence. I hope you understand this principle.”
In fact, those who came to Kyushu University generally came for Kyushu University’s teaching staff, or even the learning environment and atmosphere.
Such as daily class battles, and one-on-one tutoring from teachers, etc.
Were there rookie Trainers who looked down on these? Definitely, but those Trainers were generally Gym direct descendants, and those people generally became Gym Apprentices instead of university students.
And Lu Li was quite the oddball; he actually came for Kyushu University’s collection of books.
“I don’t need that, after all, I’m just a Breeder.” Lu Li scratched the back of his head awkwardly.
His words somewhat implied looking down on Kyushu University’s teaching staff.
“Even a Breeder can’t do without a teacher’s guidance, right? You don’t think Pokémon Breeding just requires reading books, do you?” Wen Gongmao asked helplessly.
Lu Li felt even more awkward; after all, he really didn’t want to waste time on this.
“Well… I’m not a traditional Breeder.” Helpless, Lu Li could only find another excuse.
“Non-traditional Breeder?” Wen Gongmao’s gaze at Lu Li was a bit strange, then he complained, “The problem is you don’t seem like a traditional Trainer either.”
Lu Li: “…”
“So you’re also a non-traditional Trainer?” Wen Gongmao continued to tease.
Lu Li: “…”
Looking at the silent Lu Li, Wen Gongmao helplessly waved his hand: “Forget it. Since it’s your request, I won’t interfere.”
“I’ll say hello to your teacher. If you don’t want to go to class, don’t go.” Wen Gongmao ultimately chose to yield.
No way, who made him the Rainbow Hero.
One could only say, mind your own business with the Divine Envoy’s matters; he must have his reasons for doing so.
And most importantly…
To be honest, Wen Gongmao actually didn’t hope Lu Li would stay in school all the time either.
The value of the Rainbow Hero was personally certified by the American Alliance. Looking at the current American Alliance, Wen Gongmao truly didn’t have the courage to let Lu Li stay in school.
If the Rainbow Hero’s ridiculous Destiny activated, his old bones might be done for here.
Wen Gongmao could only say he couldn’t afford to provoke him, truly couldn’t.
Lu Li also looked at the old man in front of him somewhat surprised.
He didn’t expect the old principal to be so reasonable; he had even prepared to spar wits with him.
In the end, the old principal yielded at the critical moment.
“Does the school need to give you a dormitory?” Wen Gongmao asked.
Although Long Du and several Families had hinted to him, hoping he would stuff those juniors next to Lu Li, for Kyushu University, he could only pigeonhole them.
After all, since the person wasn’t planning to live in school, how could he stuff people next to him.
Lu Li shook his head, declining the old man’s kindness: “No need for residence.”
Wen Gongmao looked at the Espeon at Lu Li’s feet and smiled in praise: “Having this little guy with you is indeed quite convenient, and no need to worry about your safety.”
With his status, Wen Gongmao naturally knew what was up with the Espeon at Lu Li’s feet.
Regarding this, Wen Gongmao could only say that Yao Yifei, that little girl, lived up to being someone with a Pokémon possessing Heavenly Grace Ability.
Just this luck alone was enough to make those Noble Families envious, jealous, and hateful.
In this world where Bond was almost substantialized, the relationship between Lu Li and Yao Yifei could be seen through at a glance by anyone who knew the information.
“Fairy… truly a lucky attribute.” Thinking of that Fairy Heavenly King, Wen Gongmao sincerely praised from his heart.
Unfortunately, he had no granddaughter; otherwise, he could also use his position to plan some benefits for his own junior.
After all, following the Divine Envoy was a Boon in itself.
Lu Li, walking a bit floatily, left the Principal’s Office somewhat confused.
He truly didn’t expect such a big surprise on the first day of school, and most importantly, the old principal was so reasonable.
Lu Li dared swear to the heavens that Wen Gongmao was the kindest old man he had ever seen, even surpassing the High Priest of the Life God Cult.
After all, Wen Gongmao had genuinely given benefits.
After completing the enrollment procedures, Lu Li returned home with the Espeon.
As soon as Lu Li appeared in the living room, he heard Yao Yifei’s somewhat resentful words.
“Your enrollment procedures took a bit long.” Yao Yifei said leisurely.
“Hehe,” Lu Li chuckled, then proudly showed off: “You absolutely can’t guess who I met today.”
“Who?” Yao Yifei looked curiously at the smirking Lu Li.
Lu Li: “Wen Gongmao, Old Principal Wen!”
“Master Wen?” Yao Yifei looked at Lu Li somewhat surprised.
“And his old self gave me a pretty good start-of-school gift.” Lu Li took out the incubator.
Yao Yifei looked curiously at the incubator Lu Li pulled out: “What Pokémon Egg is this?”
“Gible!”
“Isn’t it just…”
The indifferent Yao Yifei suddenly reacted.
“You mean inside is a Gible? That legendary earth dragon?” Yao Yifei looked shocked at the incubator in Lu Li’s hand.
“You’re not Master Wen’s grandson, are you? Even a direct grandson wouldn’t get this, right?” Yao Yifei was also shocked.
Gible! This was a Pseudo-Legendary!
Curiously examining the Pokémon Egg in the incubator, Yao Yifei asked: “What qualification?”
Lu Li: “Champion?”
“What!”
The startled Yao Yifei incredulously looked up at Lu Li.
Already having Champion level qualification while still in the Pokémon Egg, and Pseudo-Legendaries break through their qualifications more easily during evolution than normal Pokémon, meaning this egg could be considered a Master Level Qualification Pokémon.
Lu Li nodded.
“You’re so lucky.” Yao Yifei said sourly.
At Lu Li’s age, the best Pokémon she could access were just Starter Pokémon. As for Pseudo-Legendaries? Even now, they were hard for her to access.
The earth dragon was in place, Ice Dragon could be arranged soon, and if lucky, he could definitely go to Dragon Island, then catch one or two Pseudo-Legendary Dragons inside, and the second tier would basically be complete.
Then, when meeting Long Ying at school, he could properly teach this Dragon-riding girl what a true Dragon Attribute Trainer was.
After Lu Li put away the Pokémon Egg, Yao Yifei asked reluctantly: “So how do you plan to arrange next?”
Lu Li replied: “Starting tomorrow, I’ll go to school during the day to read, and come back at night to do my own things.”
The Espeon nearby, hearing this, also showed a helpless expression.
This was no longer exploitation; this was clearly sucking the marrow from bones!
“Too bu~”
The Espeon called out listlessly.
