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

"Captain, do you mean that besides Lin Yi, we should also pay attention to Ruan Yaoyao?"

Xu Wen was sitting in the audience, his eyes sweeping from afar at the two girls who were currently fighting on the field in the center of the Bird's Nest.

"Yeah, that's right."

Sitting next to him was Wang Qingping, who was holding a bowl of hot and sour noodles. He took a big sip and smacked his lips, obviously looking a little dissatisfied.

"Well, it's not spicy."

Xu Wen glanced at the bowl of hot and sour noodles, which was covered with a thick layer of chili oil, so bright red that it made people swallow their saliva.

This amount of chili is enough to almost kill him, and it’s not spicy?

"Aren't you afraid of hurting your stomach by eating such spicy food early in the morning?" Xu Wen couldn't help but ask.

"Oh, Awen, you just transferred here from another place in the past two years, so you don't know much about the food in our Fog City."

Wang Qingping swallowed the powder in his mouth and smiled.

"In this foggy city, if you can't handle this little bit of spiciness, you'll be laughed at."

Xu Wen, who would be too hot if he just ate konjac, said: "......"

He suddenly felt that it might be a wrong decision for him to come to the Fog City to study. The food culture here was simply a challenge to his taste buds.

He silently glanced at the bread and milk in his hands, secretly thanking God that he didn't order any heavy-tasting food.

"But speaking of which, how strong is this Ruan Yaoyao?"

There was a hint of inquiry in Xu Wen's voice. He brought the topic back on track and tried to get more information from Wang Qingping.

Wang Qingping did not answer immediately. He continued to slurp the hot and sour noodles while asking:

"What do you think of her?"

His gaze also turned to Ruan Yaoyao, as if waiting for Xu Wen's further observation.

Xu Wen stared at Ruan Yaoyao's profile, but couldn't see anything special for a long time. He asked tentatively, "Um...cute?"

There was a hint of hesitation in his voice, as if he was not confident in his own evaluation.

"Um?!"

Wang Qingping paused while slurping the noodles and turned to look at him in shock.

"Captain, don't think too much. I know she already has a boyfriend."

Xu Wen narrowed his eyes, looking helpless. He knew that Wang Qingping might have misunderstood his intentions.

"Oh, I thought you finally got it."

Wang Qingping took a sip of the soup and chattered something, as if teasing Xu Wen's slowness.

"After all, there are so many pretty girls in school who write you love letters, but you refuse to even respond to them, making others think you are gay."

"I just don't want to waste my youth on useless people."

Xu Wen's thoughts once again focused on Ruan Yaoyao, and he tried to find clues from her behavior and expression to assess her strength.

He knew that in this arena, outward cuteness did not represent inner strength, and every contestant should not be underestimated.

"So, Captain, do you think this Ruan Yaoyao is also a threat?"

"After all, they are here to participate in the Little Phoenix King Cup. How can they be weak?"

"Too."

Xu Wen nodded to show his understanding.

He knew that the contestants who could represent the school and enter the competition had been selected through layers of selection, and each of them had his or her own unique characteristics.

In this arena, no one can underestimate their opponent, and everyone may be a potential threat.

Wang Qingping finally finished his breakfast. He ate up the bowl of hot and sour noodles without leaving any soup.

He leaned back in his chair contentedly; the soft backrest seemed to absorb all his fatigue.

He held up three fingers and began to share the information he had gathered.

"My cousin is studying at Qinghai No. 1 Middle School. I asked him about it last night and came up with three points."

There was a hint of pride in Wang Qingping's voice, and he was obviously quite confident in his intelligence gathering ability.

"First, in the entrance examination, Ruan Yaoyao scored full marks in the practical subjects. Because she was the only one in the school who scored full marks, my cousin had some impression of her."

Wang Qingping's words made Xu Wen raise his eyebrows slightly. This news was obviously beyond his expectations.

Hearing this news, he stroked his chin and said thoughtfully:

"She got full marks for her combat skills! That's really amazing. It seems like she's quite powerful!"

The scores for practical examinations are usually within a certain range, but the full score is an unattainable height.

Although the judging criteria may vary from school to school, generally speaking, as long as the students are not instantly defeated by their opponents in the assessment, they can basically get a passing score.

However, if you want to get full marks, you will need to face an experienced and ruthless teacher whose Pokémon's levels and attributes completely suppress yours.

It is not enough to just win, you must win beautifully and win over the teacher in a perfect way.

This is almost impossible. Xu Wen narrowly defeated his opponent despite many unfavorable factors, and only scored 90 points.

In the entire Fog City team, the only one who scored full marks in actual combat was Wang Qingping who was beside him.

Xu Wen couldn't help but look at Ruan Yaoyao with admiration. He knew that this seemingly weak girl actually possessed strength that should not be underestimated.

He began to re-evaluate Ruan Yaoyao, realizing that she might be a worthy opponent.

Wang Qingping looked at Xu Wen's serious expression, smiled, and continued:

“This is just the first point. There are two more to come. Are you ready?”

His eyes revealed more information, and it was obvious that Ruan Yaoyao's strength was far more than that.

Xu Wen nodded. He knew that the next information might be even more shocking.

"The second point is that No. 1 Middle School has no substitutes."

"what?"

Xu Wen's eyebrows were furrowed, and he was obviously shocked by Wang Qingping's words.

There are no substitutes, which means that every member of Qinghai No. 1 Middle School is indispensable, and their strength and status have been strictly screened and tested.

"No substitutes? But doesn't the first team have seven people? Could it be..."

There was a hint of disbelief in Xu Wen's voice as he tried to get a clearer explanation from Wang Qingping.

Wang Qingping spread his hands and continued to explain: "You should have guessed it. Yes, someone from No. 1 Middle School did not pass the school recommendation, but participated in the competition by challenging the gym."

"Lin Yi and Ruan Yaoyao, these two are the tough guys who have successfully obtained four badges and participated in the Little Phoenix King Cup. You should know what this means."

Wang Qingping's words stirred waves in Xu Wen's heart. He realized that these two people were not just ordinary contestants. The stories and strengths behind them should not be underestimated.

Xu Wen was silent for a while, then asked silently: "...What about the third point?"

There was a hint of anticipation in his voice, as if he was waiting for Wang Qingping to reveal the final answer.

Wang Qingping took a deep breath and then said slowly:

"Third, Ruan Yaoyao is the contemporary Chinese fighting king, Ruan Tianli's biological daughter."

This sentence was like a blockbuster bomb, exploding in Xu Wen's heart.

Xu Wen was shocked by Ruan Yaoyao's identity, not only was she a strong contestant, but she was also the descendant of such a legendary figure.

Xu Wen knew that he was now facing not just an ordinary opponent, but an opponent with a deep background and strong strength.

He must re-evaluate his tactics and strategies to deal with this potentially powerful enemy.

Wang Qingping looked at Xu Wen's thoughtful expression and knew that he had realized the importance of Ruan Yaoyao.

He patted Xu Wen's shoulder gently and encouraged:

"Okay, now that you know this information, it's up to you to respond. Come on, our think tank."

Xu Wen nodded and was about to say something when a voice with a hint of hostility came over.

"Hey, you two..."
