Elf, I am really a farmer

After Zhou Zhen left, he quickly returned to the city and without hesitation boarded his private aircraft to where his father was.

He had mixed feelings, as he was worried about the uncertain outcome of this action, yet he also hoped to bring valuable gains to his father.

Soon, Zhou Zhen came to General Zhou carrying a suitcase.

General Zhou was relieved to see his son return safely, but he quickly calmed down and asked, "How did it go?"

Zhou Zhen lowered his head slightly, looking a little gloomy, and told his father in detail about his performance on the farm.

"Father, I tried my best to make friends with him. Although he talked and laughed with me and it seemed that I had become friends with him, I always felt that he was somewhat resistant to me. I am not sure whether this mission has been accomplished."

Zhou Zhen's tone was filled with confusion and frustration, and he scratched his head lightly as he spoke.

General Zhou listened to his son's words, pondered for a moment, sighed and said:

"You are indeed a champion-level player, Zhen'er. You are not simple. Maybe you have revealed your true colors in some places, or you are too eager, which makes the other party suspicious. Naturally, they will not become true friends with you.

But I was prepared. I didn't expect to befriend him so easily from the beginning. I just felt a little unwilling. Now it seems that I have failed this time. I will find a suitable opportunity later."

General Zhou showed a trace of helplessness on his face, and his slightly furrowed brows revealed his inner worry.

Zhou Zhen was also a little disappointed. He originally thought he had succeeded, but he didn't expect to fail in the end.

There was a hint of disappointment in his eyes and he bit his lip lightly.

At this time, Zhou Zhen picked up the box, put it on the table, and said:

"Father, it's not convenient for me to ask Wenqi for the fruits in the orchard, so I secretly collected some fallen leaves and branches. Father, please take them to someone to test them."

There was a hint of expectation in Zhou Zhen's tone, hoping that these fallen leaves and branches could bring some clues to his father.

When General Zhou saw the box, his eyes sparkled.

After all, this is a very important gain. Only by understanding the situation can we plan follow-up actions.

So he said to Zhou Zhen, "Take the box and follow me." After that, he took Zhou Zhen into a secret passage.

General Zhou's steps were firm and steady, his heart full of curiosity and anticipation about the unknown.

Zhou Zhen followed his father closely, holding the box tightly in his hands. He felt nervous and excited, not knowing what discoveries these fallen leaves and branches would bring.

After the two walked into the secret passage, Zhou Zhen's heart was filled with curiosity and surprise.

This was his first time here, and he had never expected that his father had such a mysterious place.

They walked in the slightly dim corridor for a while, and the atmosphere was somewhat solemn.

Zhou Zhen unconsciously slowed down his footsteps, as if he was afraid of disturbing some unknown existence.

Soon, they came to a big door.

With General Zhou present, the door was quickly opened.

Zhou Zhen followed in with trepidation, and the scene before him shocked him.

This turned out to be a research room, spacious and bright.

There were many researchers busy moving around inside, and various instruments were making a slight humming sound.

Zhou Zhen saw someone making potion, concentrating on measuring the dosage and stirring it carefully; there were also people doing research on some Pokémon, and the scene was a little bloody.

The Pokémon either lay quietly or twisted their bodies restlessly, while the researchers looked focused, recording the data meticulously.

Zhou Zhen widened his eyes, his heart filled with amazement.

He had never seen a private research institute of this scale.

Everything here felt new and shocking to him.

His eyes wandered around every corner, trying to take in everything here.

General Zhou appeared calm and confident.

He raised his head slightly and looked around the laboratory that belonged to him.

This is his private territory and also the place where he realizes his research dream.

When everyone in the laboratory saw General Zhou coming in, they stopped what they were doing and saluted respectfully.

"General!" Their tone was full of awe.

Some people lowered their heads slightly, not daring to look directly into General Zhou's eyes; others stood straight, with determination and loyalty revealed in their eyes.

Zhou Zhen looked at these people's reactions and felt even more deeply about his father's majesty.

He also realized how insignificant he was in this situation.

He stood quietly by, observing everything around him.

General Zhou nodded slightly, signaling everyone to continue working.

Then he turned his head, looked at Zhou Zhen, and said:

"Zhen'er, this is your father's private research institute. Although it's not as good as those doctoral-level laboratories in the organization, it also has many achievements."

There was a hint of pride in General Zhou's tone.

Zhou Zhen came back to his senses and said, "Father, this place really opens my eyes. I didn't expect you had such a place." His eyes were full of admiration and surprise.

General Zhou smiled and said:

"The most skilled people here are some senior researchers. Qi Qin asked for asylum before, and my father took him in. On the one hand, it was because he brought news about Wen Qi, and on the other hand, it was because he was a senior researcher and could do some research for my father."

Zhou Zhen nodded, and had a deeper understanding of his father's decision.

He looked at the busy laboratory and pondered his future path.

He knows that in this world full of challenges and opportunities, only by continuous efforts can he keep up with his father's pace.

General Zhou called Qi Qin over.

Qi Qin has been avoiding the limelight here for some time, and those who wanted to take action against Qi Qin before have dispersed.

It was all thanks to General Zhou's support. With General Zhou's reputation in the organization, those ordinary king-level trainers didn't dare to offend him.

He knew in his heart that although a trainer with one Elite-level Pokémon could be considered a Elite-level trainer, a trainer with six Quasi-Champion-level Pokémon was still a Elite-level trainer.

However, the gap between the two is even greater than the gap between primary Pokémon and king-level Pokémon.

Although General Zhou does not have six quasi-champion Pokémon, he also has a quasi-champion Pokémon, several late-stage king-level Pokémon and other king-level Pokémon, and his strength is very terrifying.

With his protection, Qi Qin has been living a comfortable life recently.

Now when Qi Qin saw General Zhou again, he said directly and respectfully: "General, now that you are here, how can I help you?" Qi Qin lowered his head slightly, his eyes full of respect.

General Zhou didn't say anything, he just took Zhou Zhen and motioned Qi Qin to follow.

The three of them walked into General Zhou’s private room.

After Qi Qin and Zhou Zhen walked in, they saw that although there were not as many instruments inside as outside, all the important instruments were there, and they were all the latest models and very valuable.

Qi Qin sighed in his heart, it seems that this should be General Zhou’s usual research site.

General Zhou remained silent, his expression serious, as if he was thinking about something important.

Zhou Zhen looked at everything in the room curiously, his eyes full of novelty.

Qi Qin stood aside, quietly waiting for General Zhou's instructions, feeling both nervous and expectant.
