In the original work, Serena is the heroine of the Kalos region and accompanies the protagonist Xiaozhi on his travels.
At present, Serena is not a trainer yet, so she is curious about the elves that Du Ming possesses. Because of her cheerful personality, she takes the initiative to talk to Du Ming.
However, the language barrier makes it very embarrassing.
After Zhen Xinchi talked with Serena, he repeated it to Du Ming.
"Her name is Serena, she comes from Neon Tokyo, she came to Silver Beach because of a family trip..."
Du Ming nodded seriously and finally said: "Actually, I understand Japanese, I just can't speak it."
Zhen Xinchi was a little stunned and couldn't understand, but he quickly found a suitable reason.
"Did you learn it by watching anime? I heard that many Chinese boys can learn Japanese just by watching anime, which is very impressive." He said in surprise.
"That's probably it."
Du Ming had no choice but to let Zhen Xinchi use his imagination.
Next, with Zhen Xinchi as the relay, Du Ming was finally able to communicate normally with Serena. Du Ming was okay, but Serena seemed very excited. As for the reason, Du Ming could completely understand.
There are two mainstream languages in Asia, namely Chinese and Japanese.
Hua Guo and Neon are the two countries with the strongest national power in Asia. These two countries completely control the Asian competition. From the participating players, the location of the competition venue, and the number of champions, almost all are occupied by these two countries.
Gradually, Asian young people with dreams will basically learn Chinese and Japanese, and English will come second.
Being able to have such a conversation with a living Chinese person was very novel and a very valuable experience for Serena. It was not necessarily the case for Du Ming. He knew very little Japanese and could only rely on his mental strength to support himself.
"If possible, you should master as many languages as possible to facilitate future travel abroad."
Du Ming thought secretly.
Overall, the conversation with Serena was quite interesting.
Serena was quickly taken away by her parents. Her daughter was with two strange young men. As a parent, she would definitely be worried. Fortunately, the three of them had already exchanged contact information.
Zhen Xinchi patted Du Ming on the shoulder.
"I guess it won't be long before you two meet again."
Du Ming didn't understand the meaning of Zhen Xinchi's words. Serena lived in Neon Tokyo, and Du Ming estimated that he would not go to Neon in three years, so why would they meet again soon?
At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Du Ming and Zhen Xinchi came to the Hokkaido Gym not far from Silver Beach. Under the leadership of Qiao Shijie, they visited the entire Hokkaido Gym. The Hokkaido Gym is a genuine water-based gym, and elves are basically connected to water. The entire Hokkaido Gym
Just like an aquarium.
Du Ming even saw the figures of Gyarados and Spiny Dragon King among them. Their levels were not low at all, but Du Ming could not see any information on some of them.
During the gym challenge, Qiao Shijie's battle elves were randomly selected from these water elves.
Du Ming sat in the front row and could see many details of Qiao Shijie's battle.
Time passed slowly. After finishing his work, Qiao Shijie sat next to Du Ming and said casually: "How is it? Are you confident about getting the badge?"
"The odds of winning are about 30%."
Du Ming said firmly.
His heart sank, he didn't expect Qiao Shijie to be so strong. Not only the elves, but also his personal strength, everything was impeccable. If Du Ming came to challenge him with all his might as soon as he arrived in Beihai, he would probably lose miserably.
His hard power is still very lacking.
Qiao Shijie chuckled and said, "You are the first to face a new trainer who has traveled for a month and I dare say that I have a 30% chance of winning."
…
Back at the Elf Center, Du Ming was lying on the bed, thinking in his heart.
"Qiao Shijie has a lot of elves to deal with in the gym battle. The first echelon of them is probably the three elves, the Stinging Shell, the Stinging Jellyfish, and the Gyarados. They are all above level 45 and have green qualifications. If Qiao Shijie sends these three,
I will definitely lose."
Thinking of the [Hokkaido Gym Badge] mission, Du Ming couldn't help but sigh, no wonder the mission reward was so generous and the difficulty was so high.
Don't act rashly.
"If Prince Bo and Pokkigu evolve, their chances of winning should be much higher."
Du Ming thought.
The problem lies here. Prince Bo never evolves. Although he has almost mastered the ancient skills of Bo Keji, there are only a few treasure skills that he has not mastered. Du Ming hopes to cultivate the elves he owns as perfectly as possible.
He thought for a long time, but could not come up with a complete countermeasure. He soon realized that there was an element of luck in the battle between elves, and it was impossible to win with equal strength.
"System, if I want to learn Japanese now, what should I do?" Du Ming asked.
After what happened today, Du Ming became interested in foreign languages. As an Asian, the first thing he learned was Japanese. If he went to America or Europe in the future, he would learn English later.
Du Ming had imagined that during a battle with a Chinese trainer, if he gave orders in Japanese, wouldn't he be able to confuse his opponent and gain a slight advantage? A slight difference could make a huge difference. In a truly evenly matched match, this advantage would completely
Turn the tide of battle.
The communication between elves and humans does not seem to be limited to language, but has the same purpose as the power of the heart.
Du Ming's idea can definitely be put into practice.
Besides, he had a system. Others had to put a lot of effort into learning a foreign language, but for Du Ming, it might just be a prop or some prestige thing.
"The host can spend reputation points, transfer memory, and directly master a certain language."
System mechanics.
Du Ming was overjoyed, is there such an operation?
He originally thought that the system would answer, use some kind of prop to stimulate the brain to enhance language learning ability, and directly transform into a language genius. He never expected that there would be such a simple and convenient way.
But I like it.
"How much reputation is required?" Du Ming asked.
If he is still in school, with this function of the system, he can become a celebrity in the school without any problem.
"5000 reputation points." The system replied.
Many days had passed since the program on Zhoucheng TV station. Du Ming's reputation increased slightly every day, and finally settled at 6800 reputation. He gritted his teeth and invested 5000 reputation.
The good luck fruit costs 15,000 reputation points, and 5,000 reputation points can't do anything at all.
"Please select the language, English, Japanese, French..."
The system prompted.
Thinking of Zhenxinchi and Serena, as well as Xiaozhi in Zhenxin Town, and Dr. Ohmu who didn't know whether he existed or not, Du Ming finally made up his mind.
"Just Japanese."
"Memory is being transferred."
When the memory transmission stopped, Du Ming felt that he had changed a lot.
"If you meet special foreign friends next time, let's see if you want to learn English, French or something." He thought to himself, and said to the system: "System, I have to take part in the trainer strength assessment next.
What mission?"
Du Ming had some expectations.
"Task release: qualifying competition."
"Tip: Participating in the Elf Alliance's trainer strength assessment for the first time is of great significance to you. Take this opportunity to become a 2-star or above trainer and enjoy better treatment from the Elf Alliance."
"The mission reward is determined according to the host's level after taking the assessment. 2-star reward is the lowest and 10-star reward is the highest. Mission time limit: today."
