Chapter 952 Exploration (2 in 1) (page 12)

The moonlight is like a hook, and the night is like ink, shrouding the sky above the Extremely Giant Laboratory, as if it were covered with a black curtain.

Inside Xia Yu's villa.

The hot steam is steaming, the hot pot is churning, exuding an alluring aroma.

Xia Yu's face turned red from the spicy food. While simmering the beef, he took a sip of cold beer with a satisfied look on his face.

There is nothing happier than eating hot pot in autumn.

At the round table, in addition to Xia Yu, four people, Karl, Eve, Long Yanning, and Chi Hanqing, were sitting, enjoying hot pot together.

"Did you watch the gym's apprentice monthly competition?" Xia Yu picked up a piece of beef roll, dipped his chopsticks into the hot pot, and while counting down in his mind, he looked at the other four and asked, "What do you think if I really If you want to take on an apprentice, which apprentices are more suitable?"

Hearing Xia Yu's voice, Karl remained silent and continued to cook the hot pot with his head lowered. As long as Xia Yu didn't call him by name, he was like a deaf person and ignored him.

On the other side, Eve and Chi Hanqing did not answer. Instead, they looked at Long Yanning, waiting for her, the mistress, to speak first.

Feeling the eyes from beside her, Long Yanning gently put down her chopsticks, wiped the grease on her mouth, and said softly: "I don't know, the key is to look at you."

"Isn't this for you to check?" Xia Yu looked at Long Yanning with a meaningful smile on his face: "After all, I will still call you Master Wife in the future."

Xia Yu's words added a touch of pink to Long Yanning's already rosy face. She raised her head and glared at Xia Yu, but apart from her amazing charm, she had no deterrent effect at all.

"Okay, no more joking. Seriously, Yan Ning, which of these apprentices do you really think is more suitable to be accepted as a disciple?" Xia Yu looked at Long Yanning with a serious face and asked: "It's not just about talent. The key is to be trustworthy and have good character."

After listening to Xia Yu's words and looking at Xia Yu's serious expression, Long Yanning also started to act cunning, looked at Xia Yu and said, "Xiao Yu."

"Except Xiao Yu." Xia Yu rolled his eyes and Long Yanning said, "Xiao Yu is already my disciple, what about Xiao Yu?"

At this time, Long Yanning also frowned slightly, with a pensive expression on his face. He began to think seriously. After pondering for a moment, his red lips opened slightly: "I think Duan Aiyan is pretty good. His personality is similar to Duan Guanjun, calm and measured. Talented and capable.”

Xia Yu nodded in agreement. Duan Yiyan was indeed a good choice, but he still needed to observe carefully before making a decision. Then Xia Yu looked at Karl, Eve, and Chi Hanqing standing aside: "What about you?"

Chi Hanqing thought for a while, looked at Xia Yu seriously and said, "I think the little girl named Bai Qiange is quite good. She has excellent grades and may develop into a researcher in the future."

"Where are you two?" Xia Yu looked at Carl and Eve. As siblings with super powers, their opinions are still very important as they have telepathy.

Seeing Xia Yu's eyes looking at him, Karl thought for a while, put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands, and said with a serious face: "I think the time we get together is too short. You can't tell anything after a month. If you want to accept a disciple, you can wait. I’ll think about it again during the big exam half a year later.”

"I think Qin Lanyan is quite good." Eve gave an answer that made Xia Yu somewhat unexpected.

"Qin Lanyan?" Xia Yu frowned slightly, looked at Eve and said, "Are you sure?"

"Yes." Eve nodded and said, "I think she's pretty good. She's rich, beautiful, and powerful. I like her very much."

"Okay." Xia Yu nodded, thought about it carefully and then said, "Eat first, and we'll talk about accepting disciples later. Karl is right, we won't see anything in this month."

"Come to Yan Ning and try this. It's very fragrant."

…………

The time came a week later.

After the first month of competition, the apprentices in the gym returned to busy training.

At the same time, the gym has also issued daily tasks for each apprentice. As long as you complete the daily tasks, you can accumulate meager gym contribution points. When the contribution points accumulate enough, you can exchange them for elf eggs.

Apprentices such as Xiao Yu, Duan Yiyan, Qin Lanyan, etc. who achieved excellent results in the first month of the competition have already obtained enough Gym Contribution Points to select some rare Pokémon.

As for other apprentices, they need to persist in doing daily tasks for at least a month before they can select some good elf eggs.

…………

Friday night, in Xia Yu's villa.

"Everyone is here."

Xia Yu looked at everyone present. All members of Team Rocket were already present.

This is also the most crowded time since the Rockets were founded.

"Here, each person takes one." Xia Yu took out the customized black square mobile phone from the cabinet behind him and distributed it to everyone: "This is a special mobile phone, and it has a positioning function. Each person has one."

Taking the mobile phone handed over from Xia Yu, Jiang Yu's eyes flashed with confusion: "What are you doing with this thing? It's like a brick!"

"You will know later, follow me." Xia Yu showed a mysterious smile on his face, then stood up and led everyone towards the basement.

All the way to the secret room at the bottom of the villa, we passed through numerous security checks and password authentication.

Everyone finally came to a black metal gate.

"The last level is over, it's coming soon." Xia Yu stretched out his hand and put his palm on the fingerprint lock on the door.

"Click!" A thick metal sound sounded, and the huge steel door slowly opened.

A bright portal suddenly appeared in the secret room!

Portal? !

Everyone looked at the portal that suddenly appeared in front of them, with different expressions on their faces.

Among the people, Sylvia, Long Yanning, Chi Hanqing, Karl, and Eve had the calmest expressions. It was obvious that they had already seen this secret realm portal.

As for the others, there was more or less a hint of surprise on their faces.

"This is the reward for everyone." Xia Yu raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and then said to everyone: "This is an independent large-scale secret realm. I call it the Xicui Secret Realm. Today everyone can catch a treasure in it. Kemeng.”

"Remember, you can only catch one Pokémon!" Xia Yu looked at everyone and emphasized: "This secret realm in front of you is huge. Even I have only been to this secret realm once. For your safety, it is recommended that everyone go together. Action, and everyone must hold onto this custom-made phone."

"If there is any danger, contact us immediately. Sylvia will inform everyone how to use this phone later." Before entering the gate of the secret realm, Xia Yu solemnly warned everyone: "The Pokémon inside , the qualifications and strength are very good. And the most important thing is that there will be many very unique Pokémon in it. This needs to be explored by everyone."

"In addition..." Xia Yu paused here, looked at everyone and said seriously: "The time now is 9 o'clock in the evening, and until 7 o'clock tomorrow morning, you can explore this secret realm at will, but in the end You must leave the secret place at 7pm."
