Chapter 268 Return and departure

July 1st, Chengdu.

A bright red sun hung in the sky, emitting ultraviolet rays unscrupulously. At this time, the temperature in Chengdu was approaching 40°C.

Passersby, both men and women, were holding parasols and walking hurriedly across the cement ground, fearing that the ground would burn their feet if they stayed for too long.

Su Hao was wearing sunglasses, shorts, short-sleeved flip-flops and standing under a leafy banyan tree. The slight coolness brought by the shade made him sigh happily.

The incessant chirping of cicadas could be heard overhead, adding to the restlessness of this midsummer.

"I really want Diancie to use a rain-making move."

Su Hao, who was thinking about why the cicada was not hunted to extinction by bird Pokémon, quietly made a statement that violated the law.

Although he has the ability to change the weather as a trainer, he is restricted by the law that states that the weather cannot be disturbed easily unless it is extreme weather.

Su Hao is now in a public place. If it is his own home, naturally no one will care about him changing the weather, but it is not allowed in public places.

"If it doesn't work, let the Freezing Bird come out and cause a blizzard, and then put all the blame on him. Divine beasts are not restricted by the law anyway."

Su Hao, who was about to be scorched by the heat, continued to talk nonsense.

He feels he can tolerate the cold, but will sweat if it's too hot, and his clothes will stick to his skin, which is very uncomfortable.

"You really don't do anything about human affairs. If you carry the feathers I gave you, you won't get too hot."

Articuno's voice came faintly through the waveguide, sounding very dissatisfied.

"That's right. As expected of you, Frozen A Meng."

Su Hao clapped his hands together, as if suddenly enlightened.

"I think you've been crazy from the heat, otherwise you wouldn't have thought of this."

Su Haoxi held his heart, as if he was hurt by Articuno's words: "Hmm... Articuno, you are so mean today."

"Humph!"

Articuno uttered a few brief syllables and then fell silent.

Su Hao took out the Articuno feather pendant from the system space. After putting it on, he felt much cooler. There was even a noticeable drop in temperature within one meter around him.

Su Hao roughly knew why Articuno spoke so harshly.

After all, countless chess games have been expanded during this period, and Articuno has never defeated Su Hao once.

He didn't want to stop Frozen Bird from going back to visit his relatives.

The main problem is that the location of the secret place that Articuno mentioned his home is a bit sensitive.

The secret realm of the Articuno clan is in the British Alliance.

Who knows what the British bird Frozen Bird was thinking, and came to settle in the Chinese Union.

The Union of Great Britain has made entry approval very difficult since last month, and seems to be deliberately preventing non-nationals from entering.

It is rather troublesome to sneak through, and Articuno said that he felt the secret realm was still closed and not leaked.

Su Hao thought that he could go to the British Alliance later, so he didn't give in.

Unexpectedly, Frozen Bird has lost his temper recently. He is obviously an old bird, but he is still so childish.

Su Hao (Banyan Tree) stood here under the scorching sun, waiting for two people.

The final competition of the College Cup is about to begin, and Li Hua and Jiang Chengcheng, who have set out to practice, will also return.

The two were mysterious during the conversation and were unwilling to reveal their findings, saying they would show them after they met in person.

Because Su Hao came out early, he waited for about half an hour before two figures ran over from his left and right, one from the left and the other from the right.

Jiang Chengcheng has a good physique and runs the fastest, so she arrived first.

Su Hao looked her over and saw that she had made great achievements in practicing in her secret realm.

Her temperament has transformed from being sharp and sharp to being as calm and unpredictable as the sea.

Afterwards, Li Hua, who looked a lot darker and no longer as thin as a bamboo pole, but more robust, arrived under the shade of the tree.

The three of them said in unison: "Long time no see."

.............

It was still early to leave, so Su Hao started chatting with the two of them in the shade of the tree.

Jiang Chengcheng and Li Hua spoke one after another about their cultivation achievements during this period.

Li Hua said that the first step of the Dragon Cave Trial was very cruel.

The people of the Dragon Taming Clan threw him dozens of miles away from the desert oasis of the Dragon Cave, and asked him to survive as hard as possible and return to the Dragon Cave.

After the people of the Dragon Taming Clan left, they left behind enough food and water for half a month, as well as maps, compasses and other necessities for the wild.

Next, Li Hua asked Steelix, Tanabata and Charizard to take turns exploring the way in the air, and they barely arrived at the dragon's lair before the time limit.

After arriving at the dragon's lair, the oasis in the desert, Utopia, and the paradise of dragon Pokémon appeared in front of him.

Then there was a series of tricky trials. Li Hua had recently obtained a dragon-type quasi-god. The strength of the three Pokémon had been improved to varying degrees.

As Li Hua's trump card, the Steel-Armored Crow has reached the late elite level in Extreme Survival, Charizard and Tanabata Blue Bird are at the mid-elite level, and Scorpio has also reached the mid-normal level.

Finally, he was recognized by a mini dragon and successfully conquered the quasi-god.

Jiang Chengcheng has become much more simple during this period.

He practiced as usual in his own secret realm, completed the mission, and after subduing a mushroom in the secret realm, he was told that he had passed the first mission, and there were two more to come.

Then it was thrown out.

Her Pokémon also improved slightly, with their strength reaching the late elite level, Tyrannosaurus and Scaledorn reaching the mid-elite level, and Rallas evolving into Kirlia.

Afterwards, Su Hao told Jiang Chengcheng about how he conquered Riolu in Orudran City, which made Jiang Chengcheng extremely envious.

After saying that, Su Hao suggested, "Let's go. We still have a while before the gathering. Come with me to get something."

Li Hua and Jiang Chengcheng looked at each other, and although they were confused, they still followed Su Hao's pace.

After a while, Su Hao walked out of a small, unprepossessing shop, holding a sandalwood box in his hand.

Seeing that the two seemed to have doubts, Su Hao did not hide anything and directly opened the wooden box.

The first thing that caught their eyes was a layer of yellow cloth with the three characters "Kojiya" exquisitely embroidered with gold, silver and red threads.

Seeing these three words, Jiang Chengcheng widened her eyes and looked at the small shop behind Su Hao.

"So this store is an ancient shop? I didn't even recognize it because there was no plaque. It turns out there is one in Rongcheng as well."

Kojiya is a shop that only accepts customized items and the prices are high.

From art objects to all kinds of small jewelry and furniture, Koji House handles them all.

Of course, the price of custom-made products from Koshiya is very expensive and the materials used are also top-notch.

Su Hao had no intention of wasting money on customizing items.

However, her mother Su Qing happened to have a free customization opportunity and transferred it directly to Su Hao.

Su Hao opened the yellow cloth.

There was a pair of blue and black fingerless gloves with a circular groove in the center, made according to Su Hao's requirements, lying quietly in the box.
