let go of that pokemon

Chapter 181

Chen Yue had no parents, so he grew up in an orphanage.

The word "home" is very strange to him.

After working in the society for many years, I realized the housekeeping skills of talking nonsense when seeing people and talking nonsense.

In the past, Chen Yue always sneered at those remarks about "being close to the hometown".

But at this moment, he deeply felt what it means to be close to home.

During the two years he was away, do Sirona and grandma still remember him?
Chen Yue's hand stopped the moment he was about to knock on the door.

One thing suddenly came to his mind.

——He is no longer the kid who looks only four years old.

Just as Chen Yue was standing outside the door and hesitating, the old wooden door was opened from the inside.

An old man with gray hair but very energetic came out.

After seeing Chen Yue, she was startled for a few seconds, then frowned, and said in disbelief: "My God! Xiao Yue? Is it you?"

Chen Yue opened his mouth and asked, "Do you still recognize me?"

Grandma looked at Chen Yue carefully from top to bottom, and said:
"You are still as beautiful as when you were a child. The girl Zhulan told me everything about you. No matter what, it's good to be back!"

As she said that, she looked behind Chen Yue and asked, "Where are Kuailong and the others, didn't they come back with you?"

Chen Yue immediately released a few elves from the elf ball and said:
"It's all here. In addition to Kuailong and them, I also took in a new companion during this trip."

Needless to say, grandma also saw the single-headed dragon beside her. She adjusted the reading glasses on her eye sockets, and said with a gentle expression, "Welcome, little guy!"

He raised his head and said to Chen Yue: "You take these little guys into the yard to rest for a while, and I will go to the town to buy something."

It was only then that Chen Yue noticed that grandma was carrying a cloth bag in her hand, and he remembered belatedly that five o'clock in the evening was the time for grandma to go out to buy udon noodles.

He decisively asked Kuailong, Lucario, and Mimi Q to greet the single-headed dragon to play in the yard first, and he went to the friendly store with his grandma.

Grandma didn't refuse, and with a kind smile on her face, she asked, "How long can I stay here this time?"

Chen Yue glanced at the task panel, there was no time limit marked on it, but it should not be short.

He thought for a while and replied, "About a year or so!"

"One year..." Grandma frowned and said, "Will you come back after that?"

"Yes." Chen Yue said, after all, this is his exclusive world, if nothing unexpected happens, all future dungeons will be carried out in this world.

"That's good." Grandma said softly.

After buying the ingredients for dinner, the two went straight home.

Looking at the empty room on the second floor, Chen Yue ran to the kitchen and asked, "Grandma, where's Sirona?"

Grandma is kneading the dough. She is in a good mood today and is going to bake some cookies for Chen Yue as a snack:

"She, should she be traveling in other areas now? That girl is too busy, and she hasn't called me, an old man, for three days!"

travel...

Chen Yue felt a little pity, it seemed that he might not be able to see Sirona again this time.

He can only stay here for one night, and he has to return to Yuanzhu City early tomorrow morning to continue the main task.

But if you don't see it, you won't see it. It's not like there will be no chance in the future.

Chen Yue went back to the living room while thinking.

Soon, a sumptuous dinner is ready.

Grandma and Lucario came out of the kitchen one after the other carrying udon noodles filled with fish ball ingredients.

She put one of the bowls in front of Chen Yue, and said distressedly: "Eat more, you've lost weight. You must be exhausted after being outside for two years?"

……

After dinner, Chen Yue returned to the room where he lived before.

Compared with when he left, the layout inside has not changed much. The room has been cleaned up very cleanly. It can be seen that someone is cleaning the room regularly.

There was a fresh and sunny smell on the quilt, and Chen Yue lay down on it relaxed.

The single-headed Long Mibi Q lay on both sides of him, one on the left and one on the right, while Lucario and Kuailong lay on the floor laid by grandma for them.

The quiet and peaceful atmosphere flowed in the room. Feeling all this, Chen Yue instantly had the motivation to continue working hard.

——The sooner he accumulates enough points, the sooner he can come to this world to live a life of retirement.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Chen Yue bid farewell to grandma, and teleported back to the hotel room through the teleportation landmark.

Although I don't know how Sirona explained to grandma, but in any case, things are moving towards the good side.

——Except that he didn't see Sirona.

Sirona, who was traveling outside, did not carry a mobile phone. She used the videophone in the elf center to call home.

According to grandma, the last time she called back was three days ago.

At that time, she was located in the Carlos area, and Chen Yue hadn't unlocked the map of the Carlos area yet, so she couldn't go there directly by teleportation.

The moment he returned to the hotel, Chen Yue received a reminder of the task update.

[The task has been updated! 〕

[Mission Objective: Follow the guide and visit the Scorched Tower! 〕

Chen Yue opened the door and came to the meeting point left by Fang Ping yesterday.

Soon, the rest of the players also left the room one after another.

Fang Ping glanced at the crowd, his gaze stayed on Chen Yue for a moment, and then continued:
"Today we are visiting the Scorched Tower!"

Scorched Tower, also known as the Bell Tower.

Located on the west side of Yuanzhu City, opposite to the Bell Tower on the east side, it is rumored that the Pokémon known as the sea god, Lugia, once lived there.

"However, 150 years ago, a lightning bolt from the sky struck the Bell Tower, turning this majestic tower into a sea of ​​flames in an instant."

"The fire burned for three days and three nights, and the last heavy rain extinguished the flames. However, at this time, there was very little left of the tower, and it was reduced to a charred ruin."

"Three unknown Pokémon were burned to death in that fire, and King Ho came down from the sky to revive them. Those three Pokémon were called Suicune, Entei, and Raikou by later generations."

Standing in front of the Burnt Tower, Fang Ping dutifully explained the history of this tower to many players.

Looking at the information about the Burnt Tower from the webpage without pictures and listening to the history of the tour guide in front of the Burnt Tower are two completely different feelings.

Although the players who participated in this dungeon are very aware of this history, they still listened to it.

But at this moment, a passerby exclaimed not far away:

"Look, what is that?!"

Everyone raised their heads in the direction of his fingers, and then saw a huge lion-like body with orange-red hair.
And the Pokémon with flowing mane like a cloud of white smoke is standing majestically on the top of the burnt tower, looking down at the crowd below with a pair of cold pale golden eyes.

　Even later. .I went to pay New Year's greetings at noon, and had a few drinks with some relatives. I slept until now, and there is another update. The third update will be released tomorrow morning.

　　New Year's Eve, I'll try to make another wave
