Pokémon: Master System.

On Friday afternoon, Xia Yu's peaceful life was once again shattered by a phone call from Chi Hanqing: "Hello, Xia Yu."

"What is it?" Xia Yu asked in a slightly cold voice. He found it extremely annoying just to see Chi Hanqing's phone number.

"Tomorrow's the weekend. When do you plan to start that new research you told me about last time?" Sitting in front of the computer, Chi Hanqing was on the phone while carefully reviewing the information on the screen and taking notes.

“This matter can’t be rushed for now.” Xia Yu thought for a moment and said, “We have to wait and see. We have to wait until the impact of the previous events has weakened. We can’t rush it.”

Hearing Xia Yu's words, Chi Hanqing smiled, the glasses on his nose reflecting the light, and his tone seemed to reveal a hint of joy: "Xia Yu, actually I have a way. It can help you perfectly solve the problem of the new experiment."

"What method?" Xia Yu asked, frowning.

"It's not convenient to talk on the phone, let's talk in person." At this point, Chi Hanqing's tone suddenly changed: "Where are you now? At school?"

"He's not here," Xia Yu replied with a frown. He really wasn't at school right now; he'd been busy training his Pokémon at the Purple Mountain Villa these past few days and had no time to go to school.

"You skipped class again?" Chi Hanqing frowned and said, "Fine, come to my lab right now."

Hearing Chi Hanqing's tone, Xia Yu felt slightly annoyed and replied coldly, "I'm busy right now. I'll come find you after dinner."

Perhaps sensing the coldness in Xia Yu's tone, Chi Hanqing frowned slightly and said to Xia Yu, "Xia Yu, come right now. This is very important, and it might be the best way! I'm trying to help you."

"I'm busy, I'm very busy." Xia Yu was also a little annoyed by Chi Hanqing, but after thinking for a moment, he suppressed his anger and said, "I have to have dinner with Yan Ning tonight, I'll come find you after dinner."

"you……"

Chi Hanqing wanted to say a few more words, but when she heard the beeping sound from the phone, she frowned, gripped the phone tightly, her fingers turned white, and her chest heaved.

…………

After hanging up the phone, Xia Yu didn't dwell on Chi Hanqing's matter and continued to train his Pokémon diligently.

Through these few days of contact, he has come to understand Chi Hanqing better. Although he keeps threatening him, he has never exposed him.

Therefore, Xia Yu had just hung up the phone in order to further test Chi Hanqing's limits.

By testing Chi Hanqing step by step and making increasingly outrageous demands, he finally seized control of the situation.

For example, at the beginning, if Chi Hanqing was even slightly dissatisfied, she would angrily declare that she would expose Xia Yu's secrets, but now Xia Yu can directly refuse or even hang up on her.

This is the result of being changed step by step.

People are always changing, especially those who lack willpower and mental strength. They are most easily changed by their parents, friends, lovers, and society.

Of course, this change could be positive, such as being encouraged to become an excellent and positive person, but it could also be negative.

Those who are irritable, easily angered, self-centered, withdrawn, lack emotional support, and have weak self-awareness are most easily influenced by others.

…………

As night fell, around nine o'clock, Xia Yu, after having dinner and taking a walk with Long Yanning, arrived at Imperial University and headed towards Chi Hanqing's laboratory.

Although Chi Hanqing is not very old, she has already published many important papers in some core Pokémon journals. She can be considered a rising star in the scientific research field. Otherwise, she would not have been hired as a professional teacher by Imperial University.

It seems that Sylvia is now Chi Hanqing's student. When she returns home, she often talks about Chi Hanqing with Xia Yu. It is clear that even though Sylvia comes from a family with a strong academic background and has inherited her father's experimental notes, she still greatly admires Chi Hanqing's talent.

Even though it was already night, the laboratory lights were still on. Xia Yu frowned, took out his ID card, swiped it, and unlocked his phone with his iris, then walked into the laboratory.

Xia Yu walked towards Chi Hanqing's office. As soon as she knocked on the door and entered, she saw Chi Hanqing sitting in front of the computer.

Chi Hanqing saw Xia Yu walk in at this moment, his face gloomy, and he stood up with his arms crossed, looking at Xia Yu.

"It's already 9:13 PM, Xia Yu!" Chi Hanqing was clearly angry, her chest heaving. "Do you really think I wouldn't dare to report you?"

"Alright, stop bringing up the report all the time. I've already agreed to the giant Pokémon thing." Xia Yu waved his hand, trying to keep the initiative in the conversation. "Besides, I'm very busy tonight. I already told Yan Ning that I'd go out with her, but I was afraid you'd have to wait too long, so I rushed over halfway through my date with Yan Ning."

Xia Yu said confidently.

The same thing, said in different ways, can evoke completely different feelings in people.

For example, right now, Xia Yu clearly had a date with Long Yan Ning before coming, but he deliberately said that he rushed over halfway through the date so as not to keep Chi Han Qing waiting.

This undoubtedly made Chi Hanqing, who was standing to the side, feel much better.

That's the power of language, that's the sweet talk of a scumbag.

Chapter 442 The Solution Proposed by Chi Hanqing

"Xia Yu." Chi Hanqing looked at Xia Yu with a smile on her face, sat down in the chair, crossed her long legs, revealing black stockings under her white coat and high heels.

"I have a way that can not only allow you to distance yourself from Giovanni, but also allow you to openly research Dynamax."

"What method?" Xia Yu asked, looking at Chi Hanqing.

Chi Hanqing smiled confidently, raised her chin, and revealed her snow-white neck: "It's very simple. First, you need to take the initiative to find the higher-ups of the Pokémon Association as your Pokémon professor, and then tell them that you want to terminate your original new experiment."

"This is the first step. After all, no one except me knows that your new experiment is Dynamax. This will create the illusion that you also just learned about Dynamax."

"The second step is for you to proactively contact the Pokémon Association's higher-ups, and, influenced by Giovanni, start a new experiment with Dynamax as your research topic!"

"In this way, it will be difficult for anyone to associate you with Giovanni, and you can openly research Dynamax, publish your research results, and most importantly, you can also obtain a large amount of experimental funding and talent support from the Pokémon Association."

Chi Hanqing's words made Xia Yu's eyes light up. He sat down in the chair, his eyes sparkling. The method Chi Hanqing proposed was truly ingenious.

With just two simple steps, you can kill three birds with one stone: clear your name of suspicion, conduct Dynamax research openly and legitimately, and even take advantage of the Pokémon Association.

Xia Yu was surprised that Chi Hanqing could come up with such a brilliant idea, and that it was also highly feasible.

Xia Yu believed that after witnessing the immense power of Dynamax Pokémon, no country would remain indifferent and would definitely try every means to seize this power for themselves.

Therefore, China will definitely begin immediately to summon its own Pokémon professors to research Dynamax Pokémon.

Just like the Z-Move before, when the Z-Move was first announced, China immediately organized a group of leading figures in the scientific community to begin studying the Z-Move.

…………

Chi Hanqing smiled, revealing shallow dimples, looking somewhat sweet: "I heard from my grandfather that the Pokémon Association's higher-ups are already preparing to research Dynamax, but the identity of the person in charge of the experiment has not yet been finalized."

“Some recommended your maternal grandparents, some recommended Mr. Jiang and Mr. Hu, and of course, a very few recommended you.”

“However, Elder Lin and Elder Qin are both quite old, and their bodies may not be able to handle such high-intensity research and development.” Chi Hanqing looked at Xia Yu and said seriously, word by word, “Therefore, the most popular candidates right now are Elder Hu and Elder Jiang. They are only around sixty years old this year, very young, and in the prime of their lives as researchers. In addition, their achievements in the scientific research field are not low, and their status is extremely high, so there is a high probability that they will be the chief person in charge.”

“Although some people have suggested that you take on the role of the chief person in charge and commander-in-chief of Dynamax research, your age is still a major drawback.” Chi Hanqing looked at Xia Yu, a sharp glint in his eyes, and said seriously, “Therefore, in order to change this situation, you cannot wait passively; you must take the initiative.”

Xia Yu listened to Chi Hanqing's words, his gaze falling on Chi Hanqing's face, and a smile appeared on his face: "Your idea is not bad, but after saying so much and going to so much trouble to plan for me, what benefit do you get from it?"

"No one gets up early without a reason." Xia Yu sat on the sofa, a slight smile playing on his lips. He took out a cigarette from his bag, lit it, and held it to his lips. He took a deep breath and exhaled a thick cloud of white smoke. His cold eyes pierced through the white smoke as he stared at Chi Hanqing: "Tell me, what do you want?"

Chi Hanqing listened to Xia Yu's question and his gaze fell on Xia Yu.

If she used to find it hard to reconcile the mature and composed Sakaki with the young and naive Xia Yu, now, watching Xia Yu puffing away on his cigarette, she felt for the first time that Xia Yu possessed the aura of a ruthless and powerful figure.

Chi Hanqing smiled and held up three fingers: "First, I am very interested in scientific research experiments. I really hope to participate in such experiments, but if you are not the chief commander, it will be difficult for me to participate in such experiments with my resume."

"Even if you manage to get involved, you'll only be a marginal character at best. It's far from the role you promised for the second installment."

"Secondly, this is also my grandfather's idea. He asked me to ask you if you are interested or confident in becoming the person in charge. If you are willing, we will support you without reservation, uniting the Long family, the Su family, Xiao Tianwang, and Lü Guanjun to go all out and push you to the position of person in charge."

"Seeing you smoke makes me itch too, give me one too." With that, Chi Hanqing's lips curled up slightly as he walked to Xia Yu's side and said.

Xia Yu was somewhat surprised; he had never imagined that Chi Hanqing would smoke, but he still threw the whole pack of cigarettes on the table: "Take some if you want."

"Can I borrow a light?" Chi Hanqing picked up a cigarette, lit it with Xia Yu's lighter, and took a deep drag.

The way Chi Hanqing smoked her cigarette was a stark contrast to her sweet appearance; it was the first time Xia Yu had ever seen Chi Hanqing like this.

After taking a drag of his cigarette, Chi Hanqing pinched his glasses between his index and middle fingers, leaned against the bedside, adjusted his glasses with his other hand, and looked at Xia Yu: "The third and most important point is that I don't believe those people can research Dynamax. I think only you have that ability."

"I've never heard of anyone else in the whole world who has a Dynamax Pokémon. I don't believe anyone else but you."

"So no matter how you look at it, I should help you."

…………

After listening to Chi Hanqing's long speech, Xia Yu's face showed a thoughtful expression.

Judging from the current situation, the method proposed by Chi Hanqing is definitely the best method, achieving three goals at once.

Xia Yu smiled, stubbed out his cigarette, and looked at Chi Hanqing's slender figure: "Your plan is very good. I can't think of a better plan than yours, except for one thing."

Xia Yu paused slightly at this point.

Hearing Xia Yu's words, Chi Hanqing also looked at Xia Yu with curiosity, a hint of doubt in her eyes. She didn't think there was anything wrong with her plan.

"I have a habit of not liking to cooperate with people who have threatened me," Xia Yu said, a smile appearing on his face.

Chi Hanqing knew exactly what Xia Yu was referring to, and a smile appeared on her face: "The adult world isn't that easy. I've already promised you that as long as you give me a Dynamax Pokémon, I won't threaten you with your Giovanni identity anymore. Of course, you can go back on your word now."

Hearing Chi Hanqing's words, Xia Yu smiled and casually said, "Alright, I have one advantage: I keep my word. But if you want a Dynamax Pokémon, you need to do something for me."

Chapter 443 Threats and Tests

Xia Yu stood up and looked at Chi Hanqing in front of him. He spoke slowly and calmly, "I need you to go to Minghai in two or three months. The specific time is yet to be determined."

"What do you want to do?" Chi Hanqing frowned, looking at Xia Yu as he spoke. Then, a smile appeared on his face as he looked at Xia Yu and said, "If you want to lure me out to sea, kill me, and dump the body so that there's no way to prove it, you'd better give up on that idea. I'm not leaving the capital."

"Oh?" Xia Yu's expression turned cold. Chi Hanqing's alertness was beyond his expectations. He stood up and moved closer to Chi Hanqing, looking down at him: "So, you're afraid of death too, right?"

Even though Chi Hanqing was wearing high heels, she was still considerably shorter than Xia Yu.

Feeling the pressure emanating from Xia Yu, Chi Hanqing showed no fear. Instead, she looked up at Xia Yu and said, "Everyone is afraid of death, which is why I haven't left the capital for a long time."

"Don't worry. I won't kill you." Xia Yu suddenly smiled, and the tense atmosphere between the two instantly dissipated: "If you want a Gigantamax Pokémon, I can give it to you, but you must prove that you have the ability to do so, and you must join Team Rainbow Rocket and contribute to Team Rainbow Rocket."

"Gigantamax Pokémon? Team Rainbow Rocket?" Chi Hanqing noticed the new terms Xia Yu used and asked with a frown.
