Pokémon: Master System.

Xia Yu changed the subject and brought up his new experiment: "I hope the Pokémon Association can recommend two candidates for me."

Upon hearing Xia Yu's words, the expressions of the people present varied.

Need two lab assistants?

This was clearly an olive branch extended by Xia Yu. They had heard in the past two days that, apart from the two collaborators, Long Fan and Xiao Wanyu, the Mega Evolution Experiment project had made a fortune.

The families behind Xia Yu's two experimental assistants also got a share of the spoils, even though they only received one or two evolution keystones. It was still better than what everyone else present had!

Xia Yu is now taking the initiative to share his new experiment and asking the Pokémon Association to recommend two suitable candidates. His purpose is simple: to curry favor with the Pokémon Association.

On the surface, they are two experimental assistants, but in reality, they represent two partners and two allies.

Moreover, it is not difficult to see from Xia Yu's current resume that, to date, any one of Xia Yu's experimental achievements would be considered top-notch in China.

Any product from Xia Yu is guaranteed to be of high quality.

Xia Yu has a new experiment now, which, even if it's not as good as Mega Evolution, shouldn't be too inferior.

Who wouldn't want to board Xia Yu's giant ship and make a fortune?

"Dr. Xia, is there another new experimental project? Would you mind telling me what kind of project it is?" Su Sheng asked with a smile.

"We've only made some progress so far, and it will also increase our combat strength to a certain extent," Xia Yu said vaguely. "But I'm not 100% sure we can produce experimental results, and even if we do, it might take several years."

Upon hearing that it would boost Pokémon battle power again, everyone immediately became interested. They hadn't even gotten a taste of Mega Evolution, so they certainly couldn't miss Xia Yu's new experimental project.

"Ahem, Dr. Xia, my son is a professor of Pokémon studies at Imperial University. I think he could be your experimental assistant."

“Dr. Xia, I have a junior who is a Pokémon breeding master. I think he can definitely help your experiments.”

"Dr. Xia..."

…………

Those who had younger relatives or acquaintances who were researchers or PhDs started to speak up, and the conference room suddenly became as lively as a vegetable market.

Duan Hongzhi's face grew increasingly grim.

“Actually, the matter of the secret realm isn’t entirely impossible.” At this moment, Lü Tinghe spoke up, making Duan Hongzhi’s expression even more awkward.

Su Sheng then spoke up at the opportune moment: "I also think this matter can be discussed at the meeting. At the same time, we also need to put some restrictions on the trading of secret realms. For example, you can only choose new secret realms, and you must develop and build them yourself, and you cannot resell them to others."

"We can't give you a definite answer right now. We'll have to wait until after the meeting to get a clear answer. Lao Duan, don't look so grumpy. Let's discuss it at the meeting. If it doesn't work out, then you can vote against it."

Duan Hongzhi remained silent with a gloomy face.

“Okay.” Xia Yu nodded. These were not problems. He wasn’t in a hurry. For an official organization like the Pokémon Association, the approval process was complicated. From discussion at the meeting to making a decision, it would take at least half a month.

"Once the Pokémon Association approves, I will pay a set of Evolution Key Stones and Mega Evolution Stones as a deposit," Xia Yu said.

"After we officially sign the contract, I will pay for 3 more sets of Evolution Keystones."

"I will pay the remaining 3 sets of Evolution Keystones within one month after the contract is signed."

"can."

Chapter 275 Su Chengyan

Inside the meeting room, Xiao Wanyu and Long Fan watched Xia Yu chatting and laughing, each with their own thoughts.

Long Fan, looking completely at ease, gently picked up the teacup on the table, took a small sip, and a calm smile appeared on his face. At this moment, he couldn't help but feel proud of his foresight.

Six months ago, I made the wisest decision to take Xia Yu as my disciple. It was the most intelligent decision I've ever made in my life. Since taking Xia Yu as my disciple, everything has gone smoothly for me.

Moreover, he wasn't greedy at all about the new experimental project Xia Yu had just mentioned. Given their master-disciple relationship, Xia Yu would definitely leave him behind and cooperate with others.

Even if Xia Yu really betrayed his master and abandoned him, he still had his daughter, Long Yanning.

Hmph, you newcomers, you short-sighted fools, no matter how hard you try now, it's just adding icing on the cake, nothing compared to the help I gave you half a year ago.

However, the only thing that made Long Fan somewhat worried was Xiao Wanyu.

That woman is very cunning and shrewd. I don't know what she was thinking, how she suddenly became so devoted to Xia Yu and tried every means to cooperate with him.

The key point is that I recently heard that Xiao Wanyu seems determined to marry Su Muzi to Xia Yu.

Thinking of this, Long Fan felt a tightness in his chest. He was already unsure of himself between Xia Yu and Long Yanning because of their age difference, and now with such a strong competitor, he felt even more uncertain.

In terms of age, Xia Yu and Su Muzi are the same age.

In terms of looks, the two are equally matched.

In terms of family background, my family is slightly inferior.

The more Long Fan compared things, the less confident he felt. He couldn't help but light a cigarette and sigh to himself, "Love is a difficult sea."

Xiao Wanyu's feelings were also complicated. She still remembered the first time she met Xia Yu. Xia Yu was just a shy young boy who taught her the corresponding movements of the eighteen Z-Moves. He was still a little shy and reserved when he saw her.

Without realizing it, Xia Yu had already gained the confidence to confront a tough champion like Duan Hongzhi. How many of the Four Heavenly Kings would dare to talk back to Duan Hongzhi like that?

Xia Yu has really grown too fast, not only in scientific research, but also in the strength of his own as a trainer.

Others might not know Xia Yu's background, but she knew it all.

If it really came down to a fight, with that mysterious Champion-level Pokémon, Xia Yu would be no match for the average Elite Four. More importantly, Xia Yu's future growth potential was also enormous, and she couldn't see any limit to his potential.

Even in this era of brilliant minds and geniuses, Xia Yu remains undoubtedly the most outstanding genius.

Raising three Pokémon to the Overlord level in nine months is something that would have been unimaginable before. With two Mega Evolutions, Xia Yu is virtually unbeatable in this year's High School Cup.

Xia Yu is undoubtedly a rising star, and one day he will become the sun in the sky.

Xiao Wanyu couldn't help but think that her daughter must marry Xia Yu.

Xiao Wanyu was a little annoyed when she heard that Xia Yu seemed to have some connection with Long Fan's daughter. She wondered if her daughter was not pretty or outstanding enough, or what, why did Xia Yu like someone older than her?

Thinking of this, Xiao Wanyu couldn't help but recall the piece of paper she found in Xia Yu's dormitory. Her face flushed slightly, and she couldn't help but think to herself, "Xia Yu may look like a respectable person, but he's a lecher at heart."

…………

After the meeting, Xia Yu and Lin Xueyang were preparing to return home together. Although the deal had not yet been finalized, Xia Yu was not in a hurry at all; he believed the Pokémon Association would agree to his terms.

Seven sets of Evolution Keystones—that's no small sum.

Just as they stepped out of the conference room, Xiao Wanyu and Su Sheng arrived gracefully together.

Xia Yu frowned slightly as he looked at the two companions. Considering that Su Muzi's surname was Su, Xia Yu had a general idea of ​​their relationship. He couldn't help but feel a little envious of Su Sheng, who was so lucky to have married such a beautiful wife as Xiao Wanyu.

The age difference between the two must be at least seventeen or eighteen years. What a beast!

Perhaps it was because of his relationship with Xiao Wanyu that Su Sheng's attitude in the meeting room just now seemed so friendly.

"Dr. Xia," Su Sheng said with a smile, stepping forward to greet Xia Yu. "I'm very interested in the new experimental project you mentioned. If there's an opportunity, I'd like to explore in-depth cooperation with you. Would it be convenient for us to discuss it further?"

Just then, Long Fan and Lü Tinghe also walked over together. Their eyes darted between Xia Yu, Xiao Wanyu, and Su Sheng, clearly indicating that they also had something to discuss with Xia Yu.

"Xiaoyu, you go ahead with your work. I'll talk to you later," Long Fan said.

“Okay, Master,” Xia Yu nodded in response.

Although they told Xia Yu to go ahead with her work, Long Fan and Lü Tinghe stood aside without moving an inch.

Perhaps seeing that someone had arrived, Su Sheng didn't want to go into details, so he just smiled and said, "Dr. Xia, this is my business card. You can call me directly if you need anything, or you can contact me through Aunt Xiao."

Aunt Xiao?

Xia Yu thought the first half of the conversation was normal, but when she heard the last sentence about Aunt Xiao, she was slightly stunned and her mind couldn't quite process it. It wasn't until a moment later that she realized Su Sheng was talking about Xiao Wanyu.

what's the situation?

Su Sheng, who is in his fifties, calls Xiao Wanyu Aunt Xiao.

Despite being filled with doubts, Xia Yu politely accepted the business card and replied, "Okay."

After the two left, Xia Yu turned his gaze to Long Fan and Lü Tinghe: "Master, Lü Guanjun."

"Let's go, let's go to the Dragon Realm for a while." Long Fan said to Xia Yu, walking ahead and leading the two of them to the Dragon Realm.

"Master, what is the relationship between Su Guanjun and Xiao Tianwang?" Xia Yu couldn't contain his curiosity and asked.

"You don't know?" Long Fan asked, frowning.

"I don't know," Xia Yu said.

"Let's talk as we walk."

…………

"Xiao Wanyu is the fourth concubine of Su Chengyan, the head of the Su family. Su Sheng is Su Chengyan's eldest son, so according to seniority, Su Sheng should call Xiao Wanyu 'fourth aunt'."

Fourth concubine? Su Chengyan has married several wives, how come he has a fourth concubine?

"Wait a minute. Su Guanjun is fifty-five years old this year. How old is Su Chengyan?" Xia Yu suddenly thought of a crucial question.

"I guess he's eighty," Long Fan said.

"Eighty years old! The age difference between the two is too big." Xia Yu also gasped. Goodness, Xiao Wanyu is only thirty-eight years old this year, which is more than forty years. If we calculate based on this age, Su Chengyan must have been over sixty years old when Xiao Wanyu got pregnant. He's still vigorous in his old age.

This world is crazy.
