Elf: Starts with small diamonds, then mutates into Diancie.

Secondly, even if he loses, his positive and warm-hearted image as a voice for women will remain, and he will also gain a lot of attention.

Traffic and popularity equal money. If he can make good use of this plan, it's not impossible for him to earn a million dollars!

But despite all their scheming, they never expected Su Hao to actually post a reply directly.

"Haha, Xiaoyun, it's like even the heavens are helping you!"

The manager, sporting a beer belly and dressed in a suit, had his arm around Cang Yun, his smile never fading since he saw Su Hao's post.

"This kid is so arrogant. If you can slap him in the face, we'll make a killing!"

Amidst the flying spittle, the agent, who had wasted decades in this industry, could already vaguely see the good days of being a young model in a club coming soon!

I no longer have to be subservient to my wife every day!

Cangyun's eyes lit up, thinking that since you delivered yourself to my door.

Then don't blame me for climbing over you to get to the top, Su Hao!

Chapter 212 Everything tastes delicious

At 9:30 a.m. on June 3, in the breakfast hall of a hotel in Chengdu.

After two days of intense and exciting preliminary elimination rounds, the Sichuan Province competition, which now has only sixteen contestants remaining, has announced a one-day break.

While giving the players a rest period, it also allows time to repair the Taikoo Arena, which has been through dozens or even hundreds of battles and is now riddled with potholes.

At this moment, the five students from Yangcheng High School were sitting together, eating breakfast and discussing the post Su Hao had made the night before.

"Su Hao, you were too impulsive..."

Zhong Li looked at him with concern, her voice somewhat anxious. She felt that Su Hao was far too impetuous.

"The best approach to this is to handle it calmly. In the end, the winner takes all in the competition. I have no doubt that you can secure the victory, but three moves..."

At this point, Zhong Li's tone became somber.

She really didn't want these trivial matters to affect Su Hao, who had exceptional talent.

Every single one of these promising young talents is a pillar of the Shenzhou Alliance's future!

Jiang Chengcheng put down her soy milk and advised from the side, "Um, Teacher Zhong, Su Hao must have been quite confident in doing this..."

Jiang Chengcheng herself could not believe in Su Hao's ability to arrive on time.

However, she firmly believed in Su Hao's abilities from beginning to end.

After all, this guy's strength has already risen to a level that is not on the same dimension as theirs.

Not to mention the Blazing Roaring Tiger, she's never seen Su Hao bring that ridiculously powerful Little Diamond out to compete even once.

She was willing to guarantee that Su Hao had some other trump card up his sleeve.

Kong Lingwei, munching on a roujiamo (Chinese hamburger), muttered as she advised, "Teacher Zhong, Su Hao wouldn't put himself in such a dangerous situation; he must have other intentions."

Li Hua, who was gulping down his breakfast, put down the fried dough stick in his hand, nudged Su Hao, and winked, "Brother Su, isn't now the best opportunity to confess?"

Su Hao frowned, slapped Li Hua's hand away, and said disdainfully, "Don't touch my white t-shirt with your greasy hands."

However, what Li Hua said does make sense.

Now is indeed the time to disclose it. They kept it a secret before because Zhong Li was exhausted from collecting information and planning tactics, and they were afraid of scaring the elderly.

He, who is currently in Group A, has advanced to the semifinals; Li Hua from Group C has advanced to the semifinals; and Jiang Chengcheng and Kong Lingwei from Group D have advanced to the semifinals.

With everything going very well at Yangcheng High School, Zhong Li, who had been tense, was noticeably more relaxed. The good amount of sleep she got made her feel much better than she had a few days ago.

Su Hao put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a tissue, and while he was marveling at how authentic the rice noodles were, he exchanged glances with Jiang Chengcheng and the other two to give them a heads-up.

He coughed lightly and said seriously, "Teacher Zhong, please don't be afraid of what I'm about to say!"

Seeing Su Hao's serious expression, Zhong Li sat up straight and said, "I am a professional trainer and a teacher. I am not afraid. Go ahead and say it."

Su Hao blinked, blushing shyly, and said, "Actually... my big tiger is already professional-grade spicy!"

Zhong Li's face stiffened. Forgetting that they were still in the hotel lobby, she stood up with wide eyes and exclaimed, "What did you say?!"

Sitting next to Zhong Li, Kong Lingwei noticed that the people around the hall who were also having breakfast were clearly focusing their attention on them.

She quickly wiped her fingers clean with a tissue, and with a wry smile, reassured her, "Teacher Zhong, calm down..."

Li Hua, with an air of otherworldly wisdom, crossed his greasy hands and said, "We only found out about this a few days ago."

After wiping the soy milk from the corner of her mouth, Jiang Chengcheng added, "And it was a breakthrough achieved through her own qualities, not through specialized skills."

Zhong Li's vision went black, and she was completely stunned.

who am I?

where am I?

Why do humans exist?

......

"Is it okay to leave Teacher Zhong there like this?" Su Hao asked worriedly.

Before leaving the hotel, he heard Zhong Li repeatedly muttering things like "young generation," "I'm old," "I'm useless," "pervert," and "only five."

Obscure and difficult-to-understand phrases such as "months".

It seems that she, as a veteran professional trainer, has suffered a significant blow.

Su Hao didn't know much about her and was a little worried.

Li Hua scratched his head and chuckled a few times before saying, "Haha... After all, the strongest super armored rhinoceros in Teacher Zhong's team is only at the late stage of the professional level. It's probably because his Dao heart as a teacher has been damaged."

Jiang Chengcheng straightened her spotless white dress and said confidently, "Ling Wei is there with her, so there shouldn't be any problem."

Su Hao thought to himself that this was the only way, and said helplessly, "...Alright, let's set off for the Pokémon Breeding Center in Rongcheng then."

......

"Oh~ Is this the Rongcheng Breeding Center?" Li Hua exclaimed in surprise, his eyes wide.

The vast oval-shaped building complex before them was their destination—the Chengdu Pokémon Breeding Center.

“It does look very large, and there are only a small number of Pokémon here; most of them are in the designated ecological zone on the outskirts!” Jiang Chengcheng replied, flipping through the information in the encyclopedia.

This was her first time here, so using an encyclopedia to look up information was naturally the best option.

"Speaking of which, my big tiger was also picked up here, but the Rongcheng Breeding Center only undertakes the alliance's delivery tasks," Su Hao said with a look of reminiscence.

The Rongcheng Breeding Center was merely undertaking a task assigned by the Alliance, responsible for temporarily storing the nine exceptionally talented Fire-type starter Pokémon prepared by the Alliance.

He went straight to the room with excellent security upon arrival, even though he had never seen the Rongcheng Breeding Center open to the public.

"Oh? The encyclopedia says that in addition to selling Pokémon, there are also trendy small businesses such as Pokémon egg blind boxes, mineral blind boxes, and lotteries." Jiang Chengcheng said in surprise, looking at the ads that were being precisely pushed to her phone by big data.

Li Hua complained with a bitter face: "Internet celebrity? Being associated with this word usually means being expensive and a rip-off."

He had been scammed by a so-called "Pokémon Experience Center" before, which advertised that visitors could personally interact with Pokémon and play with them in a 5A-level scenic area.

The entrance fee is 1000 Shenzhou coins, and not only are there long queues, but the time to interact with Pokémon is a countdown!

And you have to pay extra for every additional minute thereafter.

If I had known this would happen, I would have been better off going to Su Hao's house to interact with the Pokémon at his gym.

“Speaking of which, Su Hao, you must have had the means before, so why didn’t you raise Pokémon from a young age like other children from prominent families?” Li Hua turned and nudged Su Hao.

"High school was alright; major exams and competitions generally prohibited the use of Pokémon caught during that period. But this fairness rule was lifted in college, and some people could even pull out one or two professional-level Pokémon..."

Jiang Chengcheng was also a little curious. She and Li Hua had never thought of this before, so they had never asked Su Hao.

His parents are both very busy people, and they don't even think to give their son a Pokémon to keep him company.

Su Hao, suddenly prompted by this question, looked embarrassed and said, "...There are deeper reasons behind this."

He chuckled and then deliberately changed the subject: "Being able to train one or two Pokémon in advance can indeed bring advantages, but ultimately it is the trainer himself who decides everything."

"Other people raise their Pokémon from a young age to reach professional level, but my Incineroar only took about five months to reach professional level. Doesn't that prove the point?"

Upon hearing Su Hao's answer, Li Hua and Jiang Chengcheng exchanged a glance and confirmed one thing.

This guy is changing the subject!

Chapter 213 A Clumsy Aftertaste

"This is the room where Flying-type Pokémon reside."

Shortly after Su Hao and his two companions arrived at the Rongcheng Breeding Center and explained their purpose, a female staff member in uniform approached them, inquired about their intentions, and then led them to this room.

This room is different from what Su Hao and the others expected...

Judging from the bedroom door, it should be a small space, but the kind-looking Ms. Zhang said that this is the room where Flying-type Pokémon live.
