In a hotpot restaurant run by Chinese in Luye City, Zhao Chen and Evenie Dengjian were sitting quite relaxed on chairs.
At this time, a full day had passed since the Regichicas incident. After subduing Xie Mi, Zhao Chen fell asleep as soon as he returned to the hotel. When he woke up, he found that he had slept for nearly two hours.
Fourteen hours.
Eveni looked curiously at the pots on the table in front of her that were separated like Tai Chi. The soup in the pot on the left was as clear as mutton fat jade, while the pot on the right was filled with red soup with fiery red liquid inside.
The chili peppers rise and fall, which makes people’s fingers twitch.
"Is this the legendary hot pot?" Eveni couldn't help but swallowed as she smelled the spicy aroma.
"You haven't eaten it?" Deng Jian was a little curious. His foreign classmates would go to the hot pot restaurant near the school every weekend to feast on it.
"No." Eveni shook her head and said, "The family has very strict dietary requirements for the younger generation."
"Then you should try it today." As he said that, Deng Jian took a piece of fat beef and put it into the pot.
"By the way, Yevni, do you know how they dealt with Regichicas?" Zhao Chen asked after hearing the conversation between the two.
"It is said that they helped Regichkas find a place suitable for him to live. It should be on the way there now!" Eveni said, thinking about the news she heard from Dak.
"Oh..." Zhao Chen nodded, but felt something was wrong. Before he had time to think about it, he heard Deng Jian ask:
"What are your plans next?"
Eveni followed Deng Jian's example and put a piece of fat beef into the pot and said, "If you want to challenge the Elf Club in Greenfield City, I'm afraid you'll have to wait for a while."
"Why?" Zhao Chen was stunned and asked.
"Because, the club was reduced to ruins by the earthquake in Regichicas, and the president there is busy rebuilding after the disaster," Eveni said.
"Yes, half of Luye City was destroyed this time, and its vitality was severely damaged. I'm afraid it will take a long time to recover." Deng Jian added.
"That's it..." Zhao Chen thought for a while and said, "Then let's continue to the next city."
"The next city with an elf club is Chaam City, which is a city standing in the mountains. The president of the club there is good at using rock-type elves." Yevni introduced.
…
After a full meal, Zhao Chen and his party returned to the hotel to pack their things and prepare to leave Luye City and set off for the next city. On the way, while passing by a dessert shop, Xie Mi suddenly jumped out of the elf ball, full of longing.
looking at the various cakes decorated with strawberries in the glass display window.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Chen paid Xie Mi without saying a word and bought a large bag for him to eat on the road.
When the group returned to the hotel, they found that the mayor of Greenfield City, Duck, was already waiting there.
"Uncle Dak? Why are you here?" Yevni asked with some confusion.
Dak smiled at her, then turned his attention to Zhao Chen, who was standing aside with a Xie Mi full of cream in his arms, and said, "You are the child who ruined the Pluto plan, right?"
Zhao Chen nodded without knowing why.
Dak waved to the three of them, and then took them to a room where no one would disturb them.
Duck called the female secretary, who was holding a silver suitcase in her hand.
He took the suitcase, opened it and sent it to Zhao Chen, saying: "Thank you very much for everything you have done. This is a little bit of our thoughts. Please accept it."
Zhao Chen paused and looked at the things in the box. They were evolution stones that exuded magical brilliance and seemed to be of very high quality.
But Zhao Chen didn't show too much surprise, because he already had a set of this kind of evolution stone at home, and his elf didn't need the evolution stone at the moment.
Seeing Zhao Chen's expression, Dak was stunned for a moment, and then asked bluntly: "What's wrong? Don't like it?"
Zhao Chen pursed his lips, shook his head and said: "Um... can you change it into cash for me? I am still a student and I came here to travel. Because there was an accident on the way, I lost all my money.
"
"That's it..." Dak thought for a moment and then agreed directly: "That's okay. I'll have someone deliver the money to your room later."
"Okay." Zhao Chen nodded numbly, and then left the room with Deng Jian and Ye Fenni.
Dak looked at Zhao Chen's back and thought of yesterday's situation. He murmured: "How on earth did this kid defeat Chi Ri..."
He couldn't believe that Chi Ri, a well-known cadre of Pluto, was defeated by a foreign boy, and that boy looked... as if he had just grown up, and according to China's trainer system, he seemed to be just this age.
Get the elf for a year, right?
Dak stood there thinking for a long time and couldn't think of anything. He took a deep breath and said to the secretary beside him: "By the way, in addition to the money rewarded to them, give them three more tickets to go to the uncle."
Ferry tickets to Koh Tao…according to their travel itinerary, the next city should be Cha-Am City, and the next one after that is Qingshui City.”
"If I remember correctly, there will be an elf research conference on Berg Island in half a month. It just so happens that they can go there and have fun."
The secretary on the side nodded when he heard this and immediately left the hotel and started to complete the tasks assigned by Dak.
…
Two hours later, Zhao Chen received a bank card and three ferry tickets from his secretary. After telling him the password, the secretary left.
"What is this?"
Deng Jian looked at the words on the three boat tickets in Zhao Chen's hand and read word for word: "The Berg Island Elf Research Conference will be held on July 13th. With this ticket, you can take a special boat to the island...
…July 13th, that is, half a month later!”
"The Elf Research Conference...what is that for?" Zhao Chen asked.
Eveni explained: "It was a grand meeting in the research community. Generally speaking, this kind of press conference is not held, but once it is held, it means that they have researched something new, like the previous [Remote Elf Teleportation] which has cross-era significance.
Technology], [Elf Healing Machine], etc. are all coming out from the press conference, and when the time comes, world-renowned elf doctors and researchers will gather there."
"I just don't know what they have done this time..." Yevni said.
Zhao Chen thought for a moment and said, "Anyway, the main purpose of my trip is to travel, so I can just stop by and take a look."
"Okay, that's it. I'll go back to the room to pack my things first, and then I'll set off for Cha-Am City!" Eveni said.
After bidding farewell to Deng Jian and Ye Fenni, Zhao Chen turned his attention to Xie Mi who was enjoying dessert on the sofa.
If Pluto knew what they were missing, they would probably regret it to death.
No one could have imagined that this Shemi would be Zhao Chen's biggest gain from this trip... Arceus's creation tablet would actually appear right under that ruins.
"Sure enough, picking up leaks is the happiest thing to do." Zhao Chen thought silently in his heart.
