Pokémon: From Magikarp

The next day, the sun was shining brightly. The winter sun lazily spread across the avenue, dispelling the chill in the air.

"Why are there so many people?"

After turning the corner, Lin Shi saw from afar a lot of people gathered at the school gate, as if they were watching something.

At the same time, a beautiful and pleasant flute sound was quietly heard. The sound of the flute was like the clear stream flowing in the mountain stream, full of the sense of nature and life.

Even Lin Shi, who had no musical attainments, could tell that the musician was very skilled. And it was not only her technical excellence, but her own state of mind at the moment was also integrated into the music, which produced such a beautiful sound.

"Give way……"

It is the nature of the people in Shenzhou to join in the fun. Squeezing through the crowd, Lin Shi looked inside curiously. When he saw the people in the crowd clearly, he was stunned for a moment.

"Li Taoyao?"

Lin Shi didn't expect that the performer of the beautiful flute music just now was Li Taoyao. At this moment, she was standing at the gate of the school, filming a video with a smile on her face, holding a delicate green flute in her hand.

"Hello everyone, this is my alma mater - Northern University. It is one of the six famous universities in our Shenzhou region. It has beautiful scenery and abundant teaching staff. It has cultivated countless talents for Shenzhou..."

Listening to Li Taoyao's words, Lin Shi raised his eyebrows.

What are you doing? Filming a recruitment video? It's a little early...

"OK, Taoyao, the pictures have been taken, come and take a look." Meng Wan held the camera, waved at Li Taoyao and said with a smile.

Hearing this, Li Taoyao's eyes lit up and she walked quickly towards Meng Wan, but happened to glance at the crowd gathered around her. She suddenly stopped and a smile appeared on her lips.

"Lin Shi? You're back?"

Li Taoyao said with a smile, her smile as bright as peach blossoms was beautiful and charming, adding a touch of spring to the lonely winter.

"Hi." Lin Shi also waved at her generously.

"I heard that your dormitory is going to Thunder Canyon to complete a mission together..." Li Taoyao said as he walked towards Lin Shi.

But who knew, perhaps because the clothes she was wearing were too heavy in winter, she slipped and fell forward involuntarily, and the direction she fell was exactly where Lin Shi was. Almost subconsciously, Lin Shi stretched out his hand and supported Li Taoyao who was about to fall.

In an instant, a fragrant breeze blew in her face, and the people around exclaimed. Li Taoyao blushed instantly, and she looked even more radiant.

But when she was about to leave Lin Shi, she found that Lin Shi was holding her hand tightly, with no sign of letting go, and the expression on his face was strange, a mixture of strangeness and shock.

"What is this kid doing? Why doesn't he let go of Goddess Taoyao's hand?"

"Wow, I'm so envious. If it were me..."

"Fuck, I'm going to chop off his hand..."

Because of Lin Shi’s daze, the discussions around him became more and more intense.

"Lin...Lin Shi, I...I'm standing firm, you...you can let me go." Looking at the angry fans around, Li Taoyao whispered in Lin Shi's ear.

"Lin Shi! What are you doing? Let go of your hands!" At this moment, Meng Wan suddenly rushed out, grabbed Lin Shi's hand and took it down, looking at Lin Shi angrily.

"Oh, sorry." Lin Shi seemed to wake up from a dream. He shook his head and apologized to Li Taoyao.

"I still have something to do, so I'll leave first."

After saying that, Lin Shi hurriedly walked towards the school, leaving Li Taoyao and Meng Wan looking at each other in confusion.

"puff."

The cold water flowed down his face, and a few drops of water rolled into Lin Shi’s eyes. The temperature difference made his eyes sting.

The eyes in the mirror were clearly black and white and looked very healthy. Lin Shi took a deep breath and then slowly closed his eyes.

Envy value has been absorbed...

A small amount of jealousy has been absorbed...

A large amount of jealousy has been absorbed...

In the darkness before my eyes, such words have been scrolling and repeating in rows since just now. Except for the difference in the brightness of the words, the meaning they express is the same.

At first, Lin Shi thought that the system had a new function. After all, such systems for collecting negative emotions were common in previous literary works.

But soon after he checked, he found that the system did not have any other functions, and this line of text was obviously not its product.

Thinking of this, Lin Shi opened his eyes, lowered his head and picked up the amulet hanging on his chest. At this time, the Jade of Disaster was emitting a faint light in it. If Lin Shi guessed correctly, it was the culprit for Lin Shi seeing this strange thing!

The Jade of Disaster - Ancient Jade Fish, is itself an exquisite magatama that arouses the jealousy of countless people. After gathering jealousy, it is a Pokémon born surrounded by flames. In other words, it is an aggregation of jealousy, it is jealousy itself!

At this moment, Lin Shi could see a small golden progress bar on the Jade of Disaster, and a small section of the long scale on it had turned golden.

Obviously, this is not difficult to understand. Even without relying on the identification forest, one can roughly guess that when this progress bar is completely filled and reaches 100%, it is the time when the legendary Pokémon - Ancient Jade Fish is fully awakened.

Lin Shi roughly took a look at the part that was now lit up, which was about 25%. However, what concerned Lin Shi was that the scale at about 50% not far from it, that is, at the half position, was a little different and more conspicuous.

“Maybe something will change when it reaches 50%…” Lin Shi murmured to himself.

Another obvious way to increase the progress bar is to collect jealous emotions from those around you.

Just now, Li Taoyao fell on Lin Shi in public, which naturally caused dissatisfaction and jealousy among her fans among the onlookers.

It was precisely because of this that it was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, causing the Jade of Disaster, which had finally accumulated enough power, to change, allowing Lin Shi to clearly see the absorption of jealousy, which was also the reason why so many messages were scrolling in front of him.

It's been such a long time since he left, but there are still people who are jealous of him. Aren't these fans of Li Taoyao a little narrow-minded?

"call……"

After sorting out his thoughts, Lin Shi let out a long breath.

The Jade of Disaster is definitely one of the most valuable treasures that Lin Shi has now. It is the incarnation of a truly legendary Pokémon, and its future potential is absolutely enormous.

But at the same time, Lin Shi actually has some taboos about this Pokémon. The meaning behind the word "disaster" is too profound. It is unclear whether it will be a blessing or a curse for the world if it can be fully awakened.

But judging from the several times it took the initiative to use its power to protect Lin Shi, it at least should have no ill will towards Lin Shi.

"In any case, we still need to investigate thoroughly first..."

Lin Shi murmured, touching the amulet on his chest.
