Pokémon: Master System.

"My roommates and I had a get-together and drank a few glasses," Xia Yu said.

"Stop thinking about partying all the time. Students should prioritize their studies. I'm your advisor. You can't drink during class. This is a one-time exception." After saying a few words, Chi Hanqing instructed, "Just give this certificate to the dormitory manager."

"Okay. Thanks, Sister Hanqing." Xia Yu nodded and said.

"Don't just thank me verbally, show me something concrete." Perhaps because of their familiar relationship, Chi Hanqing looked at Xia Yu and asked, "How's your new experiment going? When will it start? Is there anything I can do for you?"

Upon hearing Chi Hanqing's question, Xia Yu realized that he had asked the Pokémon Association for two experimental assistants.

"We've already made progress, and there's something I need you to do." Xia Yu thought for a moment, and there was something he needed the help of a research talent like Chi Hanqing.

“Huh…” Speaking of lab assistants, Xia Yu suddenly thought of a serious question. He turned to look at Chi Hanqing with a serious expression: “By the way, who is my other assistant?”

"..."

Chapter 364 Team Zero Joins

Chi Hanqing looked at Xia Yu speechlessly.

If Xia Yu didn't have so many impressive experimental results, she would think he was completely unreliable.

Are these the future scientific research stars and scientific research giants of China?

The experiment has already started, but we don't even know who the experimental assistant is.

If Xia Yu didn't have such significant experimental results to show for it, she would have really wanted to quit and leave.

“The other one is Shi Chuchu from Tsinghua University, a genius Pokémon professor who graduated with a doctorate at the age of 26,” Chi Hanqing said irritably.

“Shi Chuchu? Never heard of her. Contact her if you have time.” Xia Yu said, taking out a small piece of Wishing Star and a Giant Bracelet from his bag and handing them to Chi Hanqing: “Do you think you can make this kind of bracelet using this kind of stone?”

"What is this? I need to take it to the lab to see before I know," Chi Hanqing said without much thought.

“That won’t do. You can only study this in the Yuanquanhe Laboratory.” Hearing that Chi Hanqing wanted to take the Wishing Star and the Max Bracelet away, Xia Yu naturally wouldn’t agree: “And you can only study it when I’m here. Also, you absolutely cannot tell outsiders about this, and you can’t take it out of the laboratory. You can come to the Yuanquanhe Laboratory to study it when you have time.”

There's only one Maxim Bracelet that's been rewarded by the system in the whole world, so Xia Yu naturally wouldn't give it to Chi Hanqing.

You can conduct research, but only in the Yuanquanhe Laboratory.

Hearing Xia Yu's extremely distrustful words, Chi Hanqing felt slightly uncomfortable, but after thinking about it, she felt relieved.

Judging from Xia Yu's attitude, it's clear that this new experiment is an extremely important new project.

It's perfectly normal to keep such an important new project confidential.

"What is this thing that's so important?" Chi Hanqing asked, still somewhat unwilling to give up.

"It's definitely related to the experiment," Xia Yu said. "This must be kept secret. You should contact that Chu Chu first. You two should arrange to come to me together and go to the Yuanquanhe Laboratory to conduct research."

“Okay, I’ll contact Shi Chuchu when I have some free time. Or you can set a time,” Chi Hanqing asked.

"School just started this week, so I don't have much time. I'll only be free on the weekend at most. How about the weekend?" Xia Yu said after thinking for a moment.

"it is good."

…………

As Xia Yu left Chi Hanqing's office, her phone rang again, and the caller ID gave her a headache.

"Su Muzi".

Although based on her experience with Xiao Wanyu, Su Muzi is definitely not Xiao Wanyu's biological daughter, Xia Yu still feels somewhat awkward when facing Su Muzi, and accidentally adds a generational gap.

"Hello," Xia Yu's voice rang out.

"I'm at school, what about you? Have you arrived yet?" Su Muzi's voice was cheerful as she complained, "I've finally left Baoxiang Island. Xia Yu, it's all because of you. If I hadn't lost to you in the College Cup finals, I wouldn't have stayed on Baoxiang Island for so long and been forced into special training by my family."

"However, Xia Yu, let me tell you, my strength has increased significantly. I might not necessarily lose to you next time." Su Muzi's tone was filled with strong confidence. It seemed she had very likely captured a powerful Pokémon.

It seems I'll have to find an opportunity to battle her with my second team of Pokémon.

It's time to let her see the power of Iron Warrior, Darkrai, Mega Diancie, and the solidified permanent Gigantamax Lapras.

…………

"I also arrived at school this morning," Xia Yu said.

"Are you free to have dinner together tonight?" Su Muzi asked, her tone full of anticipation.

"Never mind... never mind. I have things to do tonight." Cold sweat streamed down Xia Yu's forehead. He couldn't handle Su Muzi's enthusiasm, especially after what happened with Xiao Wanyu. How could he possibly have dinner with Su Muzi? "Let's do it another day."

"Alright then, we're having a dorm get-together tonight, and I was going to introduce you to them." Su Muzi's tone was full of regret: "You can't refuse me next time."

"We'll talk about it next time, next time. I have something to do, I'll go now."

"Ah."

After hanging up the phone, Xia Yu let out a long sigh of relief. Then he picked up his phone again and dialed Feng Kuangyin's number.

During the holidays, I just felt bored, but I didn't expect that once school started, all sorts of things would come at once.

…………

"Captain Feng, this is Xia Yu." Xia Yu's voice rang out.

"Yes. You've arrived at school?" Feng Kuangyin's voice remained calm and steady.

"Yes, it arrived today," Xia Yu replied.

"Have you put everything away? Have all the formalities been completed?" Feng Kuangyin asked.

"Yes. It's almost done."

“Alright, where are you? I’ll come pick you up.” Feng Kuangyin’s voice rang out: “You’re the last one to arrive among all the members of Team Zero.”

"Something came up and I was held up," Xia Yu replied awkwardly, rubbing his nose.

…………

A dozen minutes later, Xia Yu met Feng Kuangyin, who was still as decisive and efficient as ever, with a neat short haircut and an upright posture.

“Captain Feng,” Xia Yu said, looking at Feng Kuangyin.

"Okay. Come with me, we can talk as we walk." Feng Kuangyin, with short hair, walked in front: "I've already spoken to your teachers about canceling the month-long military training that was scheduled for the start of the semester. You can use this month to go on a mission."

"What mission?" Xia Yu didn't expect that he would be on his first mission so soon.

"We'll talk when we get there. First, I'll introduce you to your partner."

"Partner?" Xia Yu asked, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"Yes. Team Zero, a total of ten new members, has been divided into five groups, with two new members in each group, plus veteran members sent from other teams to serve as group leaders, forming five teams in total."

"Who is my partner?" Xia Yu asked curiously.

"You'll know when we get there," Feng Kuangyin said with a smile. "My strength will definitely not be inferior to yours."

…………

As the two were talking, they got into Feng Kuangyin's pickup truck and drove to the Pokémon Association headquarters building.

Our office is on the 8th floor.

The last time Xia Yu came here was to collect the Pokémon Association's tournament rewards; he never expected to be working here this time.

"Here you go, this is your secure access control. The staff will register your fingerprints later, and you'll have double unlock the access control system."

So troublesome?

Listening to Feng Kuangyin's words, Xia Yu realized that the work of the Zero Team might not be as simple as he had imagined.

"Let's go, welcome to the Charizard Special Operations Team Zero."

“Your group leader and another member arrived yesterday afternoon; you were the only one missing. This is your office. Because you arrived last, your office is in the corner.” Feng Kuangyin took out his access card, swiped it to open the door, and went inside.

Chapter 365 Zhang Zhenghua

Xia Yu's gaze fell upon the two people inside the office.

One male and one female.

The man was older, around thirty-five years old, with a strong, tall build, a square face, and an imposing presence. His cheeks were covered in sweat.

When Xia Yu came in, the man was working out and lifting weights.

Another girl was sitting on the sofa, engrossed in reading a black book. Her long hair hung down on both sides, and she was dressed simply in jeans and a t-shirt. She was wearing limited-edition over-ear headphones in the style of the Ice Nine Tails and was immersed in her own world.

Xia Yu looked down at the book title. Hmm... a very famous romance novel.

When she saw Feng Kuangyin, she took out a bookmark and placed it where she had just been reading. Then she carefully put the book into her bag, took off her headphones, and looked at Xia Yu and Feng Kuangyin.

"Zhenghua, everyone's here. Please introduce yourselves one by one and get to know each other. You'll be ready to receive your first mission soon." Feng Kuangyin smiled and said, "I won't disturb you any longer."

After saying this, Feng Kuangyin closed the door and left the room.

"Welcome, welcome." The man who was lifting weights put down the dumbbells and greeted Xia Yu with a smile, "My name is Zhang Zhenghua, the leader of the fifth group. You can call me Brother Zhang or Brother Hua."

After listening to Zhang Zhenghua's introduction, the girl who was sitting on the sofa reading a book spoke up: "Hello, my name is Tao Su. I am a sophomore at Beijing University."

Peach shortbread?

Xia Yu looked at the woman in front of him in surprise. He hadn't expected to meet her in person this afternoon, having only heard the name Tao Su at noon.
