Pokémon: What should I do? My father-in-law always wants to tear me apart

"Thank you, Lin Yi."

After helping the Pokémon deal with their injuries, Nima stroked the sleeping Chili Pepper on his knees and smiled along with Lin Yi.

"You're welcome. I'm not going to do it without reward."

Lin Yi waved his hand and said nonchalantly.

Although their conversation was brief, it demonstrated an unspoken consensus - a cooperative relationship based on mutual benefit.

Lin Yi knew clearly in his heart that Nima's strength should not be underestimated. As long as he could overcome his inner fear and go all out, he would be fully qualified to be one of the final 16 in the upcoming competition.

What Lin Yi hoped was that when both of them could successfully enter the melee after the top 16, Nima would be able to cooperate with him for a short time.

Although this kind of cooperation may be considered an illegal team formation according to the rules, it is a manifestation of wisdom in this chaotic situation.

In an environment like ARAM that is full of uncertainty and chaos, unless you are the kind of big guy who can defeat 1 people alone and have overwhelming strength, it is difficult to persist from the beginning to the end.

Lin Yi knew very well that the key to surviving in the melee was to reduce unnecessary battles and maintain the Pokémon's physical strength and optimal condition.

This is not only his understanding, but also what Lin Guochang once told him about the way to survive in this cruel competition.

If you have a reliable teammate, you can win with minimal losses when facing other tough opponents.

Of course, this kind of short-term cooperation also carries the risk of betrayal, but Lin Yi believes that as long as both parties can gain enough benefits from it, the risk is worth taking.

Moreover, after a short time together, Lin Yi felt that he could still trust the other person's character.

In addition to Nima, Lin Yi had also established similar cooperative relationships with Li Ye and Zhuge An before this. (See Chapter 168 for details)

Zhang Haoran stood aside, silent. His eyes were always on Nima, as if he was looking for the right moment to speak.

Finally, he mustered up the courage and asked cautiously:

"So, Nima, you are willing to come back to school?"

There was a hint of expectation and worry in his voice, as if he was afraid to hear a negative answer.

Nima turned his head, looked at Zhang Haoran firmly, and replied:

"Yes, I have troubled you all this time. I want to apologize to you for my previous behavior. Teacher Zheng, I will strive for a good result for myself in the Little Phoenix King Cup."

His tone was full of gratitude and determination, and he was obviously prepared.

"This one……"

When Zheng Haoran heard Nima's words, the expression on his face became a little embarrassed.

He did not respond immediately, but remained silent for a moment, as if thinking about something.

This silence made the atmosphere somewhat awkward and made those present feel a little uneasy.

"what happened?"

Lin Yi noticed Zheng Haoran's expression, and suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart. He hurriedly asked:

"Ni Ma, have you submitted the registration form?"

"Registration form? No, I don't have one."

Nima was a little confused by the shocked expressions of the two people.

"..."

Lin Yi looked at Zheng Haoran silently, with a hint of doubt in his tone.

"I remember that I could submit the registration information even if I wasn't present. Don't tell me your school didn't apply for Nima?"

"Nima's qualification has been cancelled. After all, he was expelled from school before."

Zheng Haoran's heart was filled with complex emotions, guilt and helplessness intertwined.

This time, he did not come with the mission of persuading Nima to return to the Little Phoenix King Cup, but out of a deeper concern, hoping that Nima could return to school and continue his academic journey.

"What should I do?"

There was a hint of tremor in Nima's voice.

Zheng Haoran turned his head away, not daring to look directly into Nima's expectant eyes, as if he was afraid that his hesitation and powerlessness would hurt the other person.

Facing Nima's eyes full of expectation and hope, Zheng Haoran felt an indescribable heaviness.

"unless..."

Zheng Haoran hesitated for a moment, trying to find a glimmer of hope.

"Unless we can contact the organizer of the Little Phoenix Cup and get a guarantee from Professor Shang Hefeng, who is quite prestigious in the education field, maybe, maybe there is still a glimmer of hope."

There was uncertainty in his words, but at least it was the only possible solution he could think of.

However, even this possibility seems so slim.

Zheng Haoran took a deep breath. He knew that what he was going to say next might make Nima feel even more desperate, but he still decided to tell the truth.

"Moreover, even if we can get the opportunity to delay the registration time, the situation at the school is not optimistic. After Nima dropped out, his original place has been replaced by a substitute on the school team."

Zheng Haoran's voice was low and helpless, and his words revealed a deep sense of powerlessness.

Nima was stunned where he was. He had finally found the target, but now he was told that he didn't even have the chance to try hard.

This huge joke seems to be telling you that reality is so cruel. Sometimes, even if you try your best, you cannot change your destiny.

At this moment, a voice sounded.

"You just said... Shang Hefeng? Isn't he in the research field?"

Lin Yi couldn't help but wonder.

In China, a country full of legends, the title of Pokémon Doctor is like a shining star, representing the highest honor in the academic world.

However, although the name Shang Hefeng shines brightly in the field of Pokémon research in China, he has never been able to join the ranks of Pokémon doctors.

This talented scholar has become a maverick with his outstanding contributions and unique personality.

Shang Hefeng, a scholar who enjoys a high reputation in the Chinese Pokémon research community, should have easily received the honor of a doctorate degree for his outstanding achievements and far-reaching influence.

However, his unconventional personality and unconventional working methods became an obstacle on his path to promotion.

Have you ever seen a researcher like him who does not do research in the institute every day but runs around to different schools as a temporary lecturer?

Although the theories and opinions proposed by Shang Hefeng are always forward-looking and reasonable, he does not seem to be interested in putting these theories into practice.

Maybe geniuses all have very strange personalities. It is because of Shang Hefeng's personality that the Huaxia Alliance has been slow to award him a doctorate degree.

Although the Huaxia Alliance was subjectively willing to give him a doctorate degree, considering the feelings of other doctors, the alliance was not willing to take the risk.

But if you ask Shang Hefeng what he has researched, if you think about it carefully, there is really nothing.

If we give him a doctorate degree in this way, it might cause dissatisfaction among other doctors.

Fortunately, Professor Shang Hefeng was not very interested in such fame, so the alliance did not take the risk of offending other doctors and gave him the doctoral degree.

However, even without a doctoral degree, Shang Hefeng's contribution cannot be ignored.

Although Shang Hefeng's choice made his reputation in the academic world slightly inferior, it made him famous in the education world.

His habit of serving as a temporary lecturer in various schools also allowed him to promote many elites from various industries.

It is also because of this quirk that, although his reputation in the academic world is slightly inferior, it has made him famous in the education world.

Coincidentally, when Shang Hefeng was invited by the old principal, Lin Yi was favored by Shang Hefeng and he gave Lin Yi his contact information. (See Chapter 37 for details)

Lin Yi also knew the organizer of the Little Phoenix King Cup, and Lu’s Group was one of the organizers.

And Lin Yi also knows the only heir of the Lu Group, Lu Fufeng.

hiss--

I never noticed before that I have such a wide network of contacts.

Lin Yi sighed and decided to be a good person to the end.

It would be funny if an ally that I spent so much effort to get couldn't participate in the competition.

Thinking so, Lin Yi silently took out the mobile phone that Nima lent him.

Networking, start!
