The boy announced his home cheerfully, and Pikachu responded vividly.
"Pika pika!"
Du Ming also introduced himself, but actually he was secretly shocked.
"What's your full name?" he asked.
If he guessed correctly, the young man in front of him should be the male protagonist in the original special comic, and also the prototype of the protagonist "Ash" in the subsequent animation. Meeting this young man made Du Ming a little suspicious.
Will "Xiao Zhi" still come out? The boy's name is not clear in the original work, and Du Ming is still very curious about it.
"I come from Neon Zhenxin Town, and I take the town as my surname, so my full name is - Zhen Xinchi! My close friends all like to call me Xiaochi." Zhen Xinchi said cheerfully.
Du Ming nodded.
The full names of "Xiao Chi" and "Xiao Zhi" are not mentioned in the original work. It seems reasonable if the town is the surname.
In China, it is very rude to address someone with the prefix "小".
"You don't know Chinese..." Du Ming suddenly felt strange.
Zhen Xinchi pointed to the mechanical object he was wearing, like a business Bluetooth headset, and said with some pride: "I can communicate with Chinese people only because of this thing. The translation function is very powerful."
Zhen Xinchi's headphones should be some kind of translation equipment. They are extremely high-tech and cannot be widely used. They are not even available on Scholar's Home.
After the conversation, Du Ming and Zhen Xinchi had a simple understanding. In Du Ming's view, Zhen Xinchi was relatively mature now. As for the type of elves or whether they were the same ones, there was no way to know.
He still couldn't understand why Zhen Xinchi was looking for him. He originally thought that Zhen Xinchi was going to challenge him, but it turned out not to be the case.
Zhen Xinchi looked at Du Ming and suddenly said loudly: "Do you want to go on a trip together? I'm going to Guangnan City next. It just so happens that I can learn Chinese with you. It's not good to always rely on this device."
He pointed to his "headphones" and said with some complaint.
"Travel together..."
It has to be said that Zhen Xinchi's request was indeed beyond Du Ming's imagination. With Zhen Xinchi's strength, there would be no danger in traveling by himself. If he were to travel with Zhen Xinchi, Du Ming would be the one who would benefit more. After all, it would be Du Ming who would benefit more from Zhen Xinchi.
Xin Chi's strength is far superior to Du Ming, and Du Ming will learn a lot from him.
"Allow me to think about it for a moment."
Du Ming frowned slightly and invited Zhen Xinchi into the room.
As soon as he came in, Zhen Xinchi couldn't help sniffing, as if he had some intention about the smell in the room.
"The energy cube tastes good, and it's very high-end." He immediately judged.
"Expert."
Du Ming picked up Pokjigu and did not continue the topic.
"I hope you can think carefully about what I said." Zhen Xinchi said, exchanged contact information with Du Ming, and walked out the door.
In the elevator, he silently pressed the button for the 9th floor.
Du Ming, who was packing his luggage, was still thinking about Zhen Xinchi's intentions. Logically speaking, he would never reach this point. Besides, is there really any benefit to Zhen Xinchi traveling with him?
Du Ming had a headache, so he simply stopped thinking about it. After packing his luggage, Du Ming walked outside. He planned to ask Ling Yuke and Xu Shiyi for some advice.
…
Zhoucheng Taoist Temple.
Jiang Yongliang and Jiang Haolin were also the former and current gym leaders of Zhoucheng Gym. They had a distinguished status and often attended various high-class banquets in Zhoucheng. However, the father and son were not in a good mood at this time.
The challenge in the gymnasium was met with failure.
They should have won a complete victory, but due to the interference of Du Ming and An Changge, Jiang Haolin was overwhelmed and even affected the state of other battles. In addition, they inadvertently exposed Jiang Haolin and Jiang Yongliang's tactics, and other players
Everyone was wary of Jiang Haolin's elf selection, so that the winning rate continued to drop.
8 games played, 4 wins and 4 losses.
This is a heavy blow to the newly succeeded Jiang Haolin, and it is an indelible stain on Jiang Haolin's "resume" as a gym leader. As long as he is in office in the future, if the Zhoucheng Gym wants to be promoted, it will be because of this incident
Things were hindered.
"Du Ming."
After losing to An Changge, Jiang Haolin was convinced that the hunting swallowtail butterfly was indeed stronger than imagined. But after losing to Du Ming, Jiang Haolin could not be convinced no matter what.
But there is no way, losing is losing.
No matter how unwilling you are, you can't change this fact.
"Damn."
Jiang Haolin couldn't help but grit his teeth when he thought of his own coconut egg tree, being controlled by Du Ming's Pokjigu's fear with yawns and prayers.
"Okay, let's think about how to run the gym in the future." Jiang Yongliang said solemnly: "I hope you can remember this setback."
Jiang Haolin lowered his head silently, as if thinking of something, and asked: "Don't you think much of the young envoy from the alliance headquarters?"
"There is no comment, the envoy said nothing."
Jiang Yongliang snorted coldly: "Don't worry about so much, just deal with the challenger."
Thinking of that young figure, Jiang Yongliang couldn't help but marvel. For that kind of people, youth is their greatest asset. In comparison, his own son was simply useless.
"Yes, father."
Jiang Haolin could only retreat.
…
Elf Center.
Du Ming packed up his things and was not in a hurry to leave. He was holding Pokjigu in his arms, with Prince Bo and the little Kirby sitting next to him, preparing to watch TV.
Zhoucheng TV station.
The gym challenge was edited by the TV station into a variety show-like program, which would be more approachable and down-to-earth. It started with an interview session, and each of the eight challengers had their own roles.
Du Ming looked at the TV. He declared confidently and even arrogantly that he would win. He couldn't help but hold his forehead in shame. Fortunately, he won in the end, otherwise it would have been a dark history.
Unlike Du Ming, An Changge's words were very simple, only three words.
I will win.
It shows An Changge's extraordinary self-confidence, which is obviously different from Du Ming's feeling. He is very sure, even more sure than Du Ming.
Next came the editing of the battle. They tried their best to make the battle as enjoyable as possible, but placed various advertisements in important places, resulting in a very poor viewing experience. Du Ming took advantage of the commercial time to check the system log.
"The reputation value is exploding."
Du Ming was a little stunned.
After watching the entire program, Du Ming's reputation value has increased from the original 2,000 to 30,000, and the increase has not stopped!
In the end, Du Ming's reputation value was fixed at 52,000.
Fifty-two thousand reputation points!
With this number of reputation points, you can buy nearly 6 [Potential Potions] alone! You can also buy 3 good luck fruits, and there is still reputation value left! Of course, Du Ming has 52,000 reputation points, so he has it all
A better choice.
