Pokémon: From Magikarp

"In that case, what exactly does Second Uncle want to talk to me about?"

Lin Shi stroked the teacup and asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"That's right, because you, Lin, are the only one who has found brownstone ore."

"And Wan Jin has mentioned you many times before, saying that you are very talented in detecting resources, especially ores. He has bought many rare ores from you."

"It can be seen that he trusts you very much."

"So we want to hire you to join our company's exploration team to help us find brownstone mines."

"I?"

Lin Shi pointed at himself in surprise.

"Uncle, you think too highly of me. Even the professional detection team can't find it, so how can I possibly find it?"

Lin Shi waved his hands and shook his head to refuse.

"It's ok."

Zhou Qizhe shook his head and said:

"Whether or not Lin can find the person, we will pay you. I also heard that you asked Wan Jin to do you a favor."

"I can make the decision. As long as you, Lin Shi, join us, our Jin Duoduo Company can help you with this matter."

"Oh?" Lin Shi raised his eyebrows.

This is a very good condition.

But after thinking for a while, Lin Shi did not agree immediately, but wanted to think about it.

When Zhou Wanjin, who was standing by, heard that Lin Shi still needed to consider, he was so anxious that he broke out in a sweat and kept making the shape of "agree" to Lin Shi.

Lin Shi ignored him.

In fact, agreeing to this matter would be of great benefit to Lin Shi. After all, he didn't have to find it, he just had to join in the exploration, but the reward was extremely generous.

But it was precisely because of this that Lin Shi did not agree immediately. Whether it was that Lin Shi was too suspicious or that he was worrying too much, he always felt that this matter was a bit strange...

"In that case, I hope that Mr. Lin can consider it carefully. We welcome you to join us at any time."

Although Lin Shi did not agree immediately, Zhou Qizhe did not show any bad emotions. Logically speaking, considering his status and position, personally inviting Lin Shi was already giving him enough face.

From the perspective of outsiders, Lin Shi seemed a little ungrateful...

"Wanjin, let's go and let Lin think about it carefully."

After saying that, Zhou Qizhe stood up first, and Zhou Wanjin also stood up immediately and winked at Lin Shi.

This guy seemed to be very afraid of his second uncle. Apart from chatting with Lin Shi for a few words when he first arrived, he didn't dare to say a word when his second uncle was talking...

Zhou Qizhe put on his clothes, stood up and prepared to leave.

"Student Lin, we are waiting for your call."

"Walk slowly."

Lin Shi nodded and watched them leave.

After a while, he also got up and left the restaurant.

The meal was not very enjoyable. It was already dark, the road was bright with neon lights and cars were flowing continuously.

Lin Shi was walking on the road, still thinking about what had just happened.

"Hiss..."

The snakes and bugs in the backpack made noises.

"Hey? Were you in the bag the whole time?"

Lin Shi then remembered that he was in a hurry when he left, so he habitually picked up his backpack and left, forgetting to take out the snakes and insects.

Fortunately, after a night's rest, the snakes and insects seemed to be able to control the smell they emitted freely, otherwise the forest would be filled with fruity fragrance all day long...

"What did you say?"

Lin Shi took off his backpack and opened a gap. Snakes and insects crawled out from inside, hissing something with their mouths open.

……

"Is someone following me?"

"And you've been following me for a long time, right?"

Lin Shi roughly understood what the snake wanted to express. The snake had a very sensitive sense of smell, and Lin Shi felt that it should not make a mistake.

Am I being targeted?

Zhou family?

Being followed right after his meal, Lin Shi naturally thought of the Zhou family first, but he quickly shook his head.

"There's no need..."

Since he was being followed, Lin Shi naturally couldn't go home immediately. He wandered around and only went to lively places.

Took them around and around.

"Humph, this kid doesn't go home at night and just wants to join in the fun. Don't let me catch him."

"Haha, calm down, big brother. I think that kid must be tired and should go home. Didn't you notice that he has already started walking towards a place with fewer people?"

Not far from Lin Shi, two young-looking men, one strong and one fat, were secretly watching Lin Shi. They started following him as soon as he came out of the restaurant.

At this time, Lin Shi seemed to have had enough of the fun and began to leave the crowd and quicken his pace.

"Go, follow."

The two people also quickened their pace and followed Lin Shi closely.

"Haha, brother, that kid walked into the alley."

Watching Lin Shi walk into the dim alley between two houses alone, the fat man said happily to the strong man next to him.

"Humph, finally we are alone, let's go."

At this time, Lin Shi was walking alone in the alley. He stopped near the exit, as if waiting for something.

"Stop right there, kid."

Hearing the voice behind him, Lin Shi couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth, but then he hid it and turned around quickly.

The two brothers were stunned. They thought Lin Shi should run faster...

"Haha, that kid is too timid. He was scared by us."

"Humph, he's smart."

Then the strong man slowly approached Lin Shi and shouted to him:

"Hey, kid, listen to me. We have something to ask you. You better cooperate with us. Otherwise... humph..."

“Hiss.”

Two Pokémon appeared in front of them, a dog-shaped Pokémon with black and white fur, and a Pokémon that looked like a giant purple cobra.

Tsk, the big wolfhound and the old monster.

Have you bad guys ever watched anime?

Is it necessary to be so consistent with the character setting?

Lin Shi was complaining madly in his mind.

However, Pokémon like Wolfhound have a very keen sense of smell, so it is not surprising that they can find and follow Lin Shi.

Both Pokémon bared their teeth, looking ferocious.

"Haha, don't be afraid, little brother."

At this time, another fat man came over and talked to Lin Shi with a smile.

"My eldest brother just has a quick temper. We just want to ask you a few questions. As long as you answer them seriously, we won't do anything to you."

Facing the threat from the two people, Lin Shi did not speak, but looked at the two people carefully, and identified the spirits of the two people.

"Brother, this kid doesn't seem to be afraid..."

The fat man whispered to the burly man next to him.

"Hmph, don't be intimidated by him. I've seen a lot of people like him." The sturdy man said with disdain.

"Hey, kid, did you hear that?"

"Ah? Oh, I heard it."

Lin Shi seemed to have just come to his senses after being frightened, and looked at the two brothers with a playful smile.

"Two brothers, what do you want to ask?"

"Don't worry, I'm familiar with all the love gossip, casinos, bars, massage and bathing places within a hundred or eighty miles."

"I will tell you everything I know."

"Haha, this kid is smart..."

The fat man looked teachable, and his eyes, which were already smiling, were completely invisible after he smiled.

"Hmph, don't waste your time talking to him."

"Look carefully, kid. Have you seen this thing before?"

As he spoke, the sturdy man took out his cell phone, on which was a photo.

When Lin Shi saw the photo, his pupils shrank.

The photo showed the brown stone that Zhou Qizhe had just shown him.

"Sure enough..." Lin Shi whispered to himself.

Looking at Lin Shi's expression, the sturdy man was obviously not surprised at all.

"Huh, it looks like you've definitely seen it before."

"Tell me where you got this."

"Answer me properly, otherwise... hmph..."

The sturdy man had a fierce look on his face and threatened Lin Shi.

"Wait a minute, before you answer this question, can I ask you a question first?"

Lin Shi naturally did not answer, but looked at the two people seriously and said.

"Hey, kid, I know what you want to ask?"

"Forget about it. We two brothers are professionals and there is no way we can reveal the identity of our employer."

Before Lin Shi could speak, the sturdy man spoke first.

"That's not it."

Lin Shi shook his head and pointed at two people.

"I would like to ask if you two are locals?"

"If so, you should know..."

"This road is the only way for the police officers of Baishan City Police Department to get off work..."

"Besides, it's time to get off work."
