Pokémon: From Magikarp

Chapter 28 Brownstone and Brownstone Mines

After some effort and careful translation by Baby Bear and Onix, Lin Shi roughly understood the meaning of snakes and insects.

The main purpose was to ask Lin Shi to help it find its true form, which was the honey-collecting snake.

Lin Shi looked at the time and saw that it was still early, so he was not in a hurry to go back. He was indeed curious about why a Pokémon like Orochi appeared here. After thinking about it, he agreed.

Of course, the most important thing is that he has the help of the search panel, so he won't wander around in the forest like a headless fly.

After bidding farewell to Rock Snake, Lin Shi took the snakes and Chong Chong into the deeper jungle.

"Can you sense the approximate direction of the Honey Snake?"

Lin Shi asked Shechongchong, having a direction could save a lot of trouble.

The snakes and insects crawled slowly, stood up, and moved slightly, searching for directions in the air.

Finally, he looked at Lin Shi blankly and shook his head.

"It seems the distance is too far."

Lin Shi held his chin, thinking for a moment.

Then he took out the map, drew a circle on it, opened the panel, and entered the name of the honey snake in the search function.

……

"Detection failed."

The result was not beyond Lin Shi’s expectations, but since he could continue detecting immediately if the detection failed, he was not in a hurry. What he had to do now was to divide the areas.

Although this method is a bit stupid, it can still be used because Gyarados's flying speed is enough to make up for the shortcoming of being too far away.

"The detection range is still too small."

Lin Shi sighed. If the range could be larger, he could save a lot of effort. He rode on the Gyarados and put the snakes and bugs in his backpack. He patted the Gyarados' dorsal fin and whispered:

"Set off."

Gyarados rose from the ground, with high-pressure steam coming out from its body and flying up like a jet, carrying Lin Shi over the forest.

……

The sun sets and the shadows of the trees sway.

In just one afternoon, Lin Shi had conducted a comprehensive search of the entire Baishui Forest area from the central to the southern part.

But let alone the honey snake, I didn’t even find an apple…

Seeing that the sun was about to set, Lin Shi decided to go back. After all, he didn't plan to stay here overnight this time.

"Snake, bug, it's getting dark."

"I want to go back."

"Do you plan to stay here, or..."

The snake and insect did not make a sound, but wrapped itself tightly around Lin Shi's arm. After an afternoon, it felt that this person might really be able to help it find the other snakes and insects.

Moreover, as a snake and insect, it was afraid that it would not survive the night in this forest full of elves...

Looking at the movements of the snake, Lin Shi smiled. His efforts for an afternoon were not in vain as he gained the trust of this little guy.

"Gyarados, go back."

"Ow."

Gyarados howled. After flying for the whole afternoon, it was a little dehydrated...

……

When Lin Shi returned home, it was already completely dark. Everyone was tired after a busy day.

Lin Shi prepared food for Gyarados, Baby Bear and Snake Chong Chong, and Lin's mother also specially saved some food for him.

"Ok?"

When Mr. and Mrs. Lin returned home from a walk they smelled the sweet fragrance of apples.

"Did the brat buy apples?"

Father Lin and Mother Lin looked at each other, and Father Lin said.

"Mom and Dad, are you back?"

Lin Shi finished washing his dishes and walked out of the kitchen.

“Did you buy apples?”

"apple?"

"You mean the smell it gives off."

Lin Shi picked up the snakes and insects nearby.

In the afternoon, Lin Shi discovered that the snakes and insects gave off a very fragrant apple scent, which was not easy to get rid of.

"What kind of elf is this? Why have I never seen one before?"

Looking at the well-behaved snakes and insects in Lin Shi's hands, Lin's father asked curiously.

"Your newly captured elf?"

"Not yet." Lin Shi responded.

Then he told his parents the general situation, and both Lin's father and mother supported Lin Shi's decision.

Just one thing, stay safe!

……

The next day, Lin Shi did not go to Baishui Forest to continue helping Shechongchong find the Mi Ji snake.

The fat boy Zhou Wanjin said he had something to discuss with him and wanted to treat him to a meal.

Lin Shi did not refuse. After all, because of Zhou Wanjin's family business, he had asked Zhou Wanjin for help on some matters. It would be beneficial for him to get closer to him.

Nearing evening, Lin Shi arrived at a private room in a luxurious restaurant. As expected of the young master of one of the top companies in Baishan City, he was very wealthy as he had a mine at home.

As soon as he entered the box, Lin Shi saw Zhou Wanjin sitting upright next to a middle-aged man. The man looked somewhat similar to him, but was thinner and more capable.

"It looks like it's not as simple as just having a meal."

He muttered to himself.

Originally, Lin Shi thought that the love skills he taught her were effective, and the other party wanted to express his gratitude...

But since he had already come in, Lin Shi naturally couldn't just turn around and leave.

"Hey, Wanjin, who is this?"

"Lin Shi, this is my second uncle."

Seeing Lin Shi coming, Zhou Wanjin immediately stood up to greet Lin Shi, then hesitantly said:

"Actually...actually today...my second uncle wants to talk to you about something."

He is looking for me?

Lin Shi looked at the middle-aged man carefully and confirmed that he did not know this person.

"Student Lin, please don't be shy. I am sorry for disturbing you today. Please bear with me."

Zhou Wanjin's second uncle also stood up, smiling, and stretched out his hand in a handshake gesture.

"You're welcome, uncle."

Lin Shi also smiled and shook the other person's hand.

Then the three of them took their seats and the waiter began to serve the dishes.

"I always hear Wan Jin mention Lin's name. He is the top student in the Third High School and a young talent..."

Zhou Wanjin's second uncle did not tell him the reason why he was looking for Lin Shi, but just kept chatting with him.

Business people have so many thoughts...

But he didn't say anything, and Lin Shi didn't ask. He just ate his meal while chatting with him. Seeing how familiar they were, someone who didn't know would think that Lin Shi was his nephew...

The dishes had been served but the wine had not yet reached three rounds. Lin Shi had not drunk a drop of wine, but the two of them had drunk quite a bit.

"Student Lin, to be honest, we came to you to ask for a favor."

Seeing that Lin Shi was so calm, Zhou Qizhe no longer pretended to be polite and spoke directly.

Lin Shi couldn't help but feel confused. What kind of problem couldn't their big company solve, yet they asked a small high school student like him for help? Lin Shi was a little curious.

"Uncle Zhou thinks too highly of me."

Lin Shi waved his hands, looking flattered.

Zhou Qizhe didn't say anything, but took out a suitcase from under him. Lin Shi had noticed this suitcase when he first entered the room. It seemed that the matter must be related to it...

The suitcase was opened, revealing a reddish-brown stone about the size of a palm.

"You should know Lin."

Lin Shi looked at the stone. Of course he recognized it. This was the ore he had sold to Zhou Qizhe.

What does this mean?

return the goods?

"Of course I know this. I sold it to Zhou Wanjin. He said he wanted to keep it."

Zhou Qizhe nodded.

"That's right, but actually this stone is a newly discovered mineral."

"As you know, our Zhou family has grown up by developing mineral resources. This new ore is very important to us."

After listening to Zhou Qizhe's words, Lin Shi understood why the other party was looking for him, but this made him a little more confused.

"So you came to me to ask me where I found the ore?"

"I remember telling Zhou Wanjin when I bought it that it was found in an abandoned mine."

Lin Shi carefully recalled the origin of the ore and found that there was indeed nothing special about it.

That was when he had just gotten the panel and was testing the functionality of the search system.

But Baishui Forest was too dangerous, and he heard that someone had discovered expensive ores in an abandoned mine, so he chose that location. But the result was that the harvest was meager, and most of it was sold to Zhou Wanjin.

He remembered that the ore was a trophy from a battle with a wild sandrat...

"We've naturally heard Wan Jin say that as well."

"But I sent many people to explore, but found nothing."

"This piece of ore you have is the only one we have ever seen."

Zhou Qizhe sighed and said to Lin Shi with a sad face.

"The only piece?" Lin Shi asked in surprise.

Zhou Qizhe nodded dully.

"Yes."
