Chapter 75 Association’s Rewards

Xia Yu's name was on the hot search yesterday and today, but the comments below were almost all sarcastic, complaining that Xia Yu achieved such success thanks to his family connections.

"Great, having a good grandpa is 666."

"If I had a grandfather like Mr. Lin, I would have published three papers by the time I was 18."

"I'm really envious of a 30-year-old research student from a prestigious university who passed by. I couldn't even get into the lab when I was 18, but they've already published papers, and now I'm just a handyman."

…………

Most people made malicious guesses and comments, and some even insisted that there were problems with Xia Yu's paper, and that Mr. Lin was the original author of the paper, and that he let Xia Yu be named the first author in order to pave the way for him.

Xia Yu looked at such comments and just laughed it off. No matter what you do, the trolls will find ten thousand reasons to troll you. It would be better to use this time to train.

Because of the publication of the paper, Xia Yu has become very busy recently. First of all, he received many interview invitations from the media. Xia Yu could directly reject ordinary interview invitations, but he could not reject the official invitation and could only arrange to be interviewed in the laboratory this afternoon.

In addition, the laboratory and the Pokémon Association have also negotiated that starting from tomorrow, Xia Yu will have to design Z-moves of two attributes every day. It will take a total of 8 days to complete the design of Z-moves of the other attributes except dragon and ice.

He has to stay in the laboratory for these eight days and cannot go out.

…………

At the same time, when Xia Yu went to Yuanquanhe Laboratory this time, for safety reasons, he was personally escorted by Long Fanlong Tianwang. Xia Yu was naturally flattered and thanked him repeatedly.

"Thank you for your help, Dragon King."

"It's just on the way. The association also asked me to be in charge of the corresponding actions for this Z move." Long Fan waved his hand indifferently: "Let's go. The interview starts at two o'clock. It's about time for us to rush over now."

"Ah."

…………

"Xia Yu, how does it feel to be famous?" Sitting in the car, Long Fan looked at Xia Yu with a smile and started chatting with him.

"Long Tianwang, to be honest, I don't feel anything myself." Xia Yu said seriously: "I have been training in the secret realm recently. Except that my classmates pay more attention to me, there is really no change."

"Xiao Yu, don't call me Dragon King anymore, just call me Uncle Long." Long Fan waved his hand and said, "In addition to escorting you this time, there is another thing. The Pokémon Association also asked me to ask you, what reward do you want?"

What reward? A quasi-god Pokémon, of course.

"Can I choose a quasi-god Pokémon?" Xia Yu expressed his thoughts directly without any hesitation.

"This might be difficult." Long Fan thought for a moment and said, Quasi-God Pokémon are extremely rare. Although their numbers have increased through breeding in recent years, one must know that the demand for Quasi-God Pokémon is really too great, and the demand far exceeds the supply.

Long Fan paused, then continued, "But it's not impossible. The Pokémon Association is negotiating with other countries on the price of the corresponding moves for Z-moves. If it sells well, once the deal is reached, it's possible that you'll be rewarded with a quasi-god Pokémon. As for choosing, that's impossible. You can only accept whatever quasi-god Pokémon the Pokémon Association gives you. You have no choice."

"I'm not picky, as long as it's a dragon-type quasi-god Pokémon." Xia Yu quickly added.

If the association gave him a Bangjiras and a Metagross, he would be really upset. He couldn't refuse them, otherwise the mission would be ruined.

"Oh, do you want to be a dragon-type trainer?" Long Fan looked at Xia Yu. He didn't realize that Xia Yu wanted to be a dragon-type trainer.

After all, among his three Pokémon, only Buzzbat is a dragon-type Pokémon, while Lizardlord and Charizard are not dragon-type Pokémon.

It's not easy to be a dragon trainer, Long Fan knows this very well. Although dragon Pokémon are powerful, they have a long growth cycle and are very expensive to train. He glanced at Xia Yu, but in his heart he was thinking that he didn't know how talented Xia Yu was as a trainer, so he would go back to ask Yan Ning this time.

"Well, I want to be a dragon-type trainer." Xia Yu nodded without hesitation. He was already determined to be a dragon-type trainer. Even if he didn't want to, there was nothing he could do. The most he could do was to wait until he had gathered six dragon-type Pokémon before training a second team.

"I will ask for you. If possible, I will try my best to help you get it, but you have to be mentally prepared. There is a high probability that you won't get it." Long Fan paused for a moment: "Besides the quasi-god Pokémon, is there anything else you want?"

Xia Yu frowned and thought. If it was not a quasi-god Pokémon, he would not have many choices. His team was in urgent need of physical attackers, so there were only a few best choices.

The Oddjaw Dragon, the Double Axe War Dragon, the Apple Wrap Dragon and the Aluminum Steel Dragon.

Among them, Alpharon and Double Axe Dragon are the most precious, so Xia Yu’s first choice must be these two Pokémon: "Alpharon or Double Axe Dragon."

"It seems that you are determined to take the dragon path." Seeing Xia Yu's firm attitude, Long Fan did not ask any more questions. After thinking for a moment, he said, "As for the aluminum steel dragon, it is more difficult, because there are no wild aluminum steel dragons in China. If you want it, you can only capture it from abroad. As for the double-axe war dragon, there is a great chance. I will help you convey it to the alliance."

The two chatted for a while along the way, and Xia Yu also seized this rare opportunity to ask Long Fan some questions about cultivating dragon-type Pokémon.

Naturally, Long Fan answered Xia Yu's questions one by one with a smile. He was actually quite optimistic about Xia Yu.

…………

When the two arrived at the laboratory, it was almost half past one. After hurriedly putting on makeup, Xia Yu sat in front of the camera for the interview.

The person who interviewed him was a man in his thirties, which disappointed Xia Yu a little, as he thought it would be a beautiful host.

"Xia Yu, I heard that you were still studying before I came here. I want to ask how you came up with the idea that the power of Z-moves is related to the resonance between the trainer and Pokémon, and how you designed corresponding actions to enhance the resonance between the trainer and Pokémon?"

"I also found inspiration from Wei Yeqin."

"Is it Wei Yeqin, the strongest Lucario trainer?"

"Yes, the bond between him and Lucario is the deepest and strongest of all the people I have ever met, which touched me deeply at the time. When I accidentally watched a Z-move being released, Dragon King pointed out the problem of the unstable power of the Z-move. At that time, I thought about whether the power of the Z-move might be related to the bond between the trainer and the Pokémon, and that's how this paper came about."

Because we had reviewed the manuscript in advance, the interview went quite smoothly and was completed in just over two hours.

After the interview, Xia Yu immediately found Mr. Lin. Because Xia Yu was going to the laboratory today, Mr. Lin also came to the laboratory specially.

"Grandpa, I have something to ask you."

"Xiao Yu, what's the matter? Tell me." Old Lin looked at Xia Yu with a smile. In recent days, he often had a smile on his face. Especially when he heard his old friends praising Xia Yu, saying that he had a good grandson and that there was someone to carry on his family's legacy, he felt even happier.

"Grandpa, let's talk in your office. It's not convenient here." Xia Yu looked around and said cautiously.

"it is good."

Seeing Xia Yu's cautious look, Mr. Lin also knew that what Xia Yu said was of great importance, and he immediately agreed.
