Pokémon: Master System.

Xia Yu only entrusted the Long family to help collect Mega Evolution Stones and Evolution Keys. Judging from the feedback from Long Yan Ning, she collected them very smoothly. Almost all Mega Evolution Stones and Evolution Keys on the market have been secretly acquired by the Long family.

Under such circumstances, the fact that Xiao Wanyu could still produce so many Mega Evolution Stones and Evolution Key Stones is enough to demonstrate her powerful intelligence capabilities and financial resources.

Xiao Wanyu is not only incredibly beautiful, but she is also extremely shrewd and capable. Her words just now not only expressed her intention to cooperate, but also gave Xia Yu a gift that was hard to refuse, and finally gave Xia Yu a warning.

This gave Xia Yu a slight headache. If he refused to cooperate with Xiao Wanyu, he would completely offend this woman. However, he was also a little apprehensive about cooperating with such a strong woman with high emotional intelligence and IQ.

It's exhausting to be scheming all the time. Xia Yu couldn't help but sigh. He still preferred a gentle, considerate, and quietly devoted woman like Teacher Long.

Chapter 238 Cooperation with Xiao Wanyu

Xiao Wanyu's proposed collaboration made Xia Yu fall into deep thought. Xia Yong and his wife, who were standing by, remained silent and did not make a decision for Xia Yu, leaving the choice to him.

If it were a matter of cooperating with Grass Insect Secret Realm, Xia Yong could still make the decision, but it's obvious that Xiao Wanyu doesn't care about Grass Insect Secret Realm at all. The reason for exchanging shares is to cooperate with her youngest son.

Thinking about this, Xia Yong felt a mix of self-mockery and pride. When did his youngest son become so sought-after?

…………

Xia Yu carefully considered the collaboration proposed by Xiao Wanyu. He had to admit that Xiao Wanyu's offer was extremely high.

Putting aside the precious TMs, the value of these dozen or so Mega Stones alone is unimaginable.

Most importantly, Xia Yu saw Mega Charizard X, Mega Charizard Y, and Mega Salamence Evolution Stone among them.

Xia Yu simply couldn't refuse these three Mega Evolution Stones; no matter how you looked at it, he had no choice but to agree to cooperate with Xiao Wanyu.

Xia Yu's gaze lingered between Xiao Wanyu and the evolution stones in the box. After much deliberation, he finally made up his mind to cooperate!

Why would a grown man like me be so afraid of a woman? I, Xia Yu, am definitely not a coward. After making up my mind to cooperate with Xiao Wanyu, Xia Yu suddenly felt relaxed.

Since cooperation is inevitable, we should adopt a genuine attitude of cooperation. Besides, Xiao Wanyu is begging to cooperate with us, so why should we be so apprehensive and hesitant? Moreover, we now have Iron Warrior backing us up, and we even have a Pokémon with Champion-level strength, so what is there to be afraid of?

After figuring it out, Xia Yu couldn't help but become more unrestrained, his eyes constantly glancing at places he shouldn't be looking at.

It has to be said that Xiao Wanyu is truly a perfect woman. She has the looks, the figure, the temperament, and the money. Her only flaw is that she is already married and has children... No, for some people, this might not be a flaw, but rather a virtue.

Wait, things seem to have gone a bit off track. Xia Yu came to her senses and suddenly realized that she might have been a bit too presumptuous. She was just trying to encourage herself and not be afraid of Xiao Wanyu, that cunning woman. How did she accidentally become too arrogant? Forgive me, forgive me, she should rein herself in.

However, Xiao Wanyu's figure is really too good, let's take one last peek, just one last look.

Xiao Wanyu, who had been quietly waiting for Xia Yu's reply, also keenly noticed Xia Yu's gaze. It has to be said that women have an innate sensitivity to this kind of thing.

Of course, Xiao Wanyu knew her own charm and how attractive she was to a young man like Xia Yu. However, when faced with Xia Yu's furtive gaze, she couldn't help but think of the note Liu Yunhan had stolen from Xia Yu's bedroom. Recalling its contents, Xiao Wanyu felt complicated and cursed him under her breath as a pervert.

She suddenly felt a pang of regret; perhaps her daughter wasn't so suitable for Xia Yu after all.

“King Xiao.” Since he had made up his mind to cooperate, Xia Yu naturally wanted to first negotiate the price and do everything according to the agreement and terms. This would be good for both parties. He would establish the rules first and then discuss the cooperation: “I can agree to cooperate with you, but the specific details of the cooperation still need to be discussed.”

“Okay.” Upon hearing Xia Yu agree to cooperate, Xiao Wanyu revealed a charming smile, unintentionally exuding her allure and captivating beauty.

She agreed with Xia Yu's statement: cooperation is cooperation, and everything should be done according to the contract.

“Here is a draft of the contract, you can take a look.” After Xiao Wanyu finished speaking, Liu Yunxuan handed over the contract: “Old Lin and Long Fan have already read it and signed it, now it’s just waiting for you.”

Xia Yu silently looked at the contract. He had to admit that compared to his last visit to the Xiao family, Xiao Wanyu had clearly shown more sincerity this time.

The two then began discussing the cooperation, which lasted for almost an hour before they reached a preliminary verbal agreement.

…………

"I'll have my lawyer draft a new contract later and send it to you. Don't rush, you should focus on preparing for the competition," Xiao Wanyu said.

"Okay," Xia Yu nodded in agreement.

"Compared to the cooperation, I'm actually more curious about what the Long family is going to do with all these things you collected?" After discussing the cooperation, Xiao Wanyu seemed particularly relaxed, leaning back in her chair with a languid air, her peach-blossom eyes fixed on Xia Yu.

Xia Yu remained silent, looking at Xiao Wanyu, carefully considering his words, hesitating whether to speak.

"If you don't want to tell me, that's fine too. My promise still stands. I said I'd give you these things, so I will. But if you have any new experiments or results, remember to give priority to the Xiao family."

Seemingly sensing Xia Yu's predicament, Xiao Wanyu was exceptionally generous and did not press the matter further. Clearly, she was in a very good mood after Xia Yu agreed to cooperate.

Xia Yu was still carefully weighing in her mind whether or not to tell Xiao Wanyu.

Mega Evolution is different from exclusive Z-Moves. Exclusive Z-Moves are discoveries derived from Z-Moves, while Mega Evolution is a completely new discovery. Once announced, it will definitely cause a sensation worldwide.

He absolutely cannot conquer the Mega Evolution cake by himself alone, so finding a partner is inevitable.

Xia Yu's original plan was to cooperate with the Long family and take a small share of the Mega Evolution cake. However, as his strength increased and his ambition grew, Xia Yu also had some other ideas.

If we cooperate with the Xiao family, we can definitely take on even more cakes and collect more evolution key stones and mega evolution stones.

Moreover, Xia Yu now has his own agenda; he wants to combine Mega Evolution with his plan to establish an organization!

Mega Evolution can help people like Zhao Ruohan, who trust them but lack strength, increase their power, and it can also be used to win people's hearts.

With the help of Mega Evolution, Xia Yu can definitely make his organization quickly gain a foothold.

…………

"King Xiao..." After thinking for a long time, Xia Yu suddenly called out to Xiao Wanyu, then silently looked at the two siblings, Liu Yunhan and Liu Yunxuan, beside him.

"Don't worry, they are absolutely reliable." Xiao Wanyu immediately understood the meaning in Xia Yu's eyes. From Xia Yu's expression, she vaguely sensed that these gems might be more important than she had imagined.

Xia Yu remained silent. Mega evolution was a matter of great importance, and he naturally couldn't trust Liu Yunhan and Liu Yunxuan, the brother and sister.

"Old Liu, you two go out first, and don't let anyone in." Seeing Xia Yu's insistence, Xiao Wanyu didn't press the matter any further. The two sides had just agreed to cooperate, and there was no need to cause conflict over such a small matter.

Xia Yong felt a little unfamiliar as he watched his son and Xiao Wanyu talking on equal terms and discussing cooperation. He realized that his youngest son had grown up to this extent.

Perhaps I really should retire and wait to take care of my grandchildren.

"These gems..." Xia Yu was about to speak after Liu Yunhan and Liu Yunxuan left.

"Wait a minute." Xia Yong suddenly spoke up: "Xiaoyu, you two talk slowly, your mother and I are going out for a walk."

Xia Yong clearly knew that what Xia Yu and Xiao Wanyu were about to say was important, so he made an excuse to leave.

"dad……"

“You can make these decisions yourself from now on. I’m just overwhelmed by what I’m hearing. Also, show some respect to Xiao Tianwang; she’s your senior.” Xia Yong said with a smile, “Xiao Tianwang, you two can talk it over.”

After saying that, Xia Yong pulled Lin Xuemei away, his back view showing a mix of loneliness and nonchalance.

The two sons are growing up day by day.

Parents, however, can only grow older day by day.

Chapter 239 Mega Evolution

After Xia Yong and his wife left, only Xia Yu and Xiao Wanyu, along with the two open suitcases, remained in the private room.

Xiao Wanyu leaned back lazily on the soft sofa, crossed her legs, revealing her slender calves, and wore high heels. Her bright eyes were fixed on Xia Yu. She was very curious about the purpose of these sparkling, marble-like gems, which made Xia Yu value them so much.

Looking at Xiao Wanyu's languid and charming appearance, Xia Yu was slightly lost in thought. Xiao Wanyu truly possessed a unique charm of a mature woman.

However, Xia Yu, who considered himself a gentleman, quickly regained his composure and carefully considered his words: "These gems are related to my new experiment."

Xia Yu dared not be too explicit, and could only try to be vague.

"Is this experiment important?" Xiao Wanyu had already guessed that the gemstone was related to Xia Yu's new experiment, but she needed to know how much investment this new experiment would require, how long it would take to produce results, and what kind of impact and economic benefits the results would have: "How much investment do you need in the early stages of this experiment? How confident are you in achieving experimental results? What kind of economic benefits can it generate?"

A businesswoman is a businesswoman; she doesn't understand or care much about scientific research. What she cares about is profit and economic benefits.

In Xiao Wanyu's view, this new experiment is probably just a small one, and even if its results are great, can they compare to a dedicated Z-Move? However, this is the first collaboration between the two parties after all, and she will give it her full support regardless of whether the experiment is successful or not, or whether it can generate economic benefits.

Xia Yu has a long future ahead of him. Whether he chooses the path of scientific research or becoming a Pokémon trainer, his future achievements will undoubtedly be remarkable. After all, Xia Yu also has a shiny Dragapult and a mysterious Pokémon comparable to a legendary Pokémon.

Seeing Xiao Wanyu's calm demeanor, Xia Yu knew she must have underestimated his experiment. He silently picked up the box filled with Mega Evolution Stones and Evolution Key Stones and asked, "What's the password to this box?"

"Three sixes and three eights."

After obtaining the password, Xia Yu suddenly felt curious about how Xiao Wanyu would react if she knew the value of the box of gems she had given away.

Should we tell Xiao Wanyu?

After thinking about it, Xia Yu decided to let slip a little bit of information.

Firstly, since the two are currently in a cooperative relationship, this would prevent Xiao Wanyu from developing any resentment after learning about the value of the Mega Evolution Stone, which could affect their cooperation.

Secondly, most of the Mega Evolution Stones and Evolution Keys in China have already been acquired by the Long and Xiao families. There might be a few left, but not many, so telling her wouldn't have much of an impact.

Thirdly, it can also make Xiao Wanyu take this experiment seriously and have her collect Mega Evolution Stones and Evolution Key Stones from abroad!

There may not be any domestically, but there must be a lot of stock abroad! It's like when foreign countries developed Z-Moves in the past, they didn't announce it to the public, but first acquired a large number of Z-Crystals in China. By the time China realized what was happening, there were very few Z-Crystals left in China.

This tactic is called "an eye for an eye!" Xia Yu might feel a little guilty about taking advantage of his own people, but he is perfectly justified and righteous in taking advantage of foreigners!

Xia Yu gripped the box, looking at Xiao Wanyu with a serious expression and a solemn gaze: "Heavenly King Xiao, I must remind you. This new experiment is very important. I hope you will keep what I am about to say a complete secret and not tell anyone."

Xia Yu's serious tone, coupled with his action of taking the box, suddenly made Xiao Wanyu feel that something was wrong. Perhaps she had really underestimated this new experiment?

"Okay, I promise you." Xiao Wanyu's red lips parted slightly, her smile vanishing instantly. She transformed from a gentle, caring older sister into a cool, aloof superstar, effortlessly embodying two different styles, each radiating astonishing charm. This made Xia Yu somewhat envious of Xiao Wanyu's husband, who had married a wife who offered him so many experiences.

No wonder so many people want to marry a wife who loves cosplay; that's really weird.

"First of all, the importance of this new experiment is no less than that of Z-Moves!" Xia Yu's voice rang out, dropping a bombshell: "Like Z-Moves, once the new experiment is successfully developed, it can greatly increase the battle power of Pokémon. Moreover, unlike Z-Moves, which can only be used once in a short period of time, this battle power boost can be maintained for a considerable period of time. It can at least sustain a long battle without any problem."

Upon hearing Xia Yu's words, Xiao Wanyu's smile froze on her face, her heart churning with turmoil. She hadn't expected Xia Yu's new experiment to be so important. However, being a seasoned veteran, she remained calm and composed, asking, "Approximately how much will the combat power increase?"

The reason why Z-Moves are so valuable is because they provide an extremely high boost to a Pokémon's power, enabling it to dominate Pokémon of the same level and fight against Pokémon of higher levels.
