Pokémon: World of Wonder

Jiang Ye glanced at the interior of the dojo. It didn't look like a dojo, but rather like a dojo of some martial arts school. He walked along the corridor for a while. On both sides were historical and cultural things, as well as the general structure and data of the generator and power station.

Standing at the low-key and luxurious front desk, the female receptionist, who was standing like a wooden stake, smiled and said, "Hello, welcome to Jingting Gym. I am your gym guide. What can I do for you?"

"Ah, it's like this, I had an appointment for a gym challenge at 3pm today, so that's why I came here."

The receptionist replied with a standard formulaic smile on his face, "Okay, please wait a moment, I will check for you right away."

After sitting on the bench next to him and operating the computer for a few times, the receptionist looked up and smiled, "Please show me your trainer ID."

Jiang Ye showed it to the receptionist. After confirming his identity, the receptionist smiled and said, "Mr. Jiang Ye, this is it. You are from another place, so you may not know. Before our gym can hold a gym challenge, we need you to join the local guild, and then the guild prime minister will stamp your visiting card, and then we can let you participate in the gym challenge."

Jiang Ye frowned, "Can I ask why? Do I need a visiting card to participate in the gym challenge?"

The female receptionist smiled and explained, "Of course, our Jingting Gym itself is actually not profitable. When the gym was first opened, all the funds were sponsored by the alliance. Even the funds for the current gym's daily maintenance are provided by the alliance. The gym owner is currently selected from the alliance."

"Regarding the issue of stamping the visiting card, the Jinhua local authorities are aware of it and have agreed to it. I hope you can understand."

Jiang Ye nodded his head to show his understanding after hearing the reasonable reason, and then asked, "Can I watch the ongoing gym challenge?"

The female receptionist bowed awkwardly and said, "Mr. Jiang Ye, I'm really sorry. In order to protect the privacy of the trainers, we use independent venues to hold gym challenges. Our gym itself does not have the right to broadcast."

Can’t even watch the game?

Jiang Ye was stunned for a moment, then nodded to show his understanding, "Okay, thank you very much, see you next time."

Finding that Jiang Ye did not make things difficult for her, the female receptionist was genuinely thankful and a little excited, "Thank you very much for your understanding. I look forward to serving you next time."

Jiang Ye walked out of Jingting Gym the same way he came, with his arms folded as he looked at the cars coming and going on the street. Visiting card... Are you really going to the black market?

Jiang Ye had some confidence in breaking into the black market, relying on his physical strength that was better than most trainers. But Jinhua City was different. It was a city full of gangs. Since fighting Pokémon were strictly controlled, there were definitely many powerful ones.

The black market that is not under the protection of the Alliance...

Jiang Ye took a bus back to the Pokémon Center, hearing the cheerful chatter of the elderly on the bus and the incessant sound of advertisements on the small screen.

There were also a few men in the last row who looked suspicious and were whispering that they were going to send the kidnapped children to the black market to make a fortune by auctioning them off tonight. But Jiang Ye was in no mood to care about these trivial matters.

On the street you can always see trucks of all sizes waiting for Haoli and some muscular laborers to unload the goods.

Jiang Ye was not a Pokémon researcher, so he didn't know how powerful Hao Li was. But those hard laborers worked for days with almost no rest, and the veins on their skin were as thick and big as spider webs, and they throbbed with their heartbeats.

In Jiang Ye's opinion, this is a manifestation of long-term overwork. The money he earns now may not be enough for medical expenses when he is old. What should he do if it is not enough? He can only wait for death.

In other words, most of their money is earned by overdrawing their lives.

The world is full of stars, how many people can really catch a deer?

What kind of life do they want? What is true satisfaction? Other people’s definitions are just what they think. Only you can truly know yourself.

Jiang Ye returned to the dormitory and sat at the table in front of the window. He stared blankly at the red sun slowly setting outside the window. In his ears was the cheerful sound of a few little guys drawing joker cards. He was debating whether he should go to this black market or just find a guild to join.

Jiang Ye didn't come back to his senses until the stars began to emerge faintly in the sky. This is what being in a daze is like. It can make one's mind clear and refreshed, and at the same time, it can make several hours pass like a second.

At this time, Jiang Ye had already made up his mind. He would not go, he would not join the guild, and he did not want the gym badge anymore.

Now he finally realized what was wrong. He took three vehicles in one day, all of which took him to the black market. The first one was a handsome local driver. It was not strange that he knew about the black market. What was strange was that he knew the opening hours of the black market. Why would a driver like him go to the black market?

Although the second old man had no flaws from beginning to end, Jiang Ye now recalled that he made the matter of buying visiting cards on the black market sound very simple, and then began to constantly instill in Jiang Ye how bad it was to join a guild.

The last two-person group was even more ridiculous. They used their mouths to talk on the bus instead of typing on the communicator to communicate about the trafficking. It was really ridiculous. And if Jiang Ye was a guy with a little bit of kindness, he would definitely go to the black market after hearing such a thing.

Leading him to the black market, an illegal place that is not under control, will only get him.

Jiang Ye couldn't think of any other reason why the person behind the scenes went to such great lengths. If these were just coincidences, Jiang Ye wouldn't care so much and would just treat it as his paranoia.

He would rather do nothing than make mistakes and give others an opportunity to take advantage of him.

slip away.

Jiang Ye thought about it and immediately decided to pack up. Actually, there was nothing to pack... What the hell? !!!

Jiang Ye had felt something was wrong when he went to get the trainer certification before. Now he carefully checked the space props and found that the many spaces and packaged items that were clearly organized and planned were now in a mess, as if a Flame King had caused a big disturbance in the space.

"Ahem~"

The six little guys who were still drawing joker cards on the sofa nearby heard Jiang Ye cough, turned around and saw that Jiang Ye didn't move, and then started drawing joker cards with laughter again.

"Cough hum!"

Now the six kids realized that something serious was going to happen, and they immediately moved themselves to stand in a row in front of Jiang Ye.

Jiang Ye just said in a calm tone, "Who did it?"

The six little ones stared at each other, and then looked at Jiang Ye in confusion.

Jiang Ye shook his head, "I never taught you to lie."

As he spoke, Jiang Ye released all the items that were in a mess in the space props.
