Pokémon: From Magikarp

On the other side, Lin Shi ignored Tao Ran's thoughts, but fell into deep thought about Tao Ran's words. Because of the information gap, as a time traveler, he could infer much more information than Tao Ran.

First of all, there was the palace. Lin Shi couldn’t find a specific correspondence in his memory for a while, but regarding the blue and white stone slab, Lin Shi had a bold guess.

He felt that the stone tablet containing powerful ice power was most likely the Icicle Stone Tablet, the one representing ice attribute among Arceus' eighteen stone tablets.

Arceus, according to legend, is the earliest Pokémon born before the universe existed. He is the creator god of the Pokémon world. He has the ability to change attributes at will by relying on stone slabs with different attributes, and the Icicle Slab is one of them.

Thinking of this, Lin Shi's heart became a little uneasy. If it was really that stone slab, its value would be immeasurable. It was definitely one of the most precious things in the world. With it, cultivating ice elves would be easier than breathing or drinking water.

"Kunlun Mountains..."

Lin Shi muttered softly that this mysterious mountain still holds many secrets.

Shaking his head, he calmed himself down and continued to think about Tao Ran's words. From the roar of the beast he heard when the palace was shaking, it was obvious that it was definitely from an extremely powerful elf, or even... a divine beast!

But unfortunately, there was too little information and Lin Shi couldn't judge. However, there was an elf that Lin Shi had already made some guesses.

It was the elf known as "Taoxian" who saved Li Taoyao. Judging from the legend and Tao Ran's description, the only elf that could match the number is most likely the legendary Pokémon - Attachment Cloud.

Nostalgic Cloud is a kind-hearted Pokémon that represents the end of the severe winter. It has two forms: incarnation and spirit beast. Its prototype may be Xuanwu, one of the four sacred beasts, and it is extremely powerful.

If it was it, then Lin Shi felt that it was reasonable for it to show up to help Tao Ran, and the Longlian Cloud itself also had the characteristics of a charming body, which also explained Li Taoyao's extraordinary beauty and charm.

"Taolin Town, a ten thousand mu peach orchard."

Lin Shi silently memorized this place. The information of each legendary Pokémon was extremely valuable, especially for Lin Shi who still needed the approval of the legendary Pokémon to unlock the super magic ring.

The suspected icicles and slates, the powerful elves in the snowy mountains, the legendary Pokémon Cloud of Attachment, Lin Shi had never expected that Li Taoyao's story would involve so many things.

"Huh..." After hearing Tao Ran's words, Lin Shi couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"Master Tao Ran, don't worry. I will never spread this matter to anyone." Lin Shi also knew that such things should not be spread to others, so he naturally would not seek trouble for himself.

Looking at Lin Shi's appearance, Tao Ran smiled.

"Lin Shi, thank you."

"Okay, after talking so much, don't forget the main thing. This is my collection room. Most of the things here are what I got when I was an explorer. Some of them are piled up here for unknown uses. You can take a look and see if you want anything."

After finishing the story, Tao Ran felt a lot more relaxed and began to get to the point.

Lin Shi now had time to look around the collection room. Although it was a bit messy, it was still clean and seemed to be cleaned regularly. There were many messy and strange things placed in it, and the number really surprised Lin Shi.

"All of these? Master Tao Ran is really amazing."

Lin Shi looked around and said with admiration.

Hearing Lin Shi’s words, Tao Ran giggled.

"It's just a hobby of youth and ignorance. Go and have a look. If there's anything you want, just take it. You're welcome."

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."

Lin Shi rubbed his hands, feeling a little excited. He wondered what good things he might come across...

Taking a quick look, most of them are items with special ancient styles. They should be relics from a secret world. Many times, the sudden appearance of space channels will teleport things that originally belonged to the secret world to the real world.

Like the shipwreck that Lin Shi had explored before, it was definitely an object from another world, but it sank into the depths of the sea because of the instability of space.

Soon Lin Shi discovered a lot of familiar things, and ancient coins came into view. Lin Shi also had a lot of these things, but obviously Tao Ran's collection was larger.

Lin Shi even saw a lot of coins of the Suo Cai Ling. Lin Shi guessed that this thing should be a trading item in the ancient elf secret world, just like those ancient coins. After all, he found that the coins of the Suo Cai Ling always appeared together with the ancient coins. Obviously, they were deliberately stored together.

However, Lin Shi did not ask Tao Ran for it. After all, he had not subdued the money-seeking spirit, so it was useless to have so many coins. He could just ask Li Taoyao and Tao Ran for them when he needed them in the future...

Just like that, Lin Shi passed this place and continued to wander around the collection room, feeling somewhat amazed.

Looking at Lin Shi's slightly busy but enthusiastic figure, Tao Ran pursed her lips. She still had a good impression of Lin Shi. He was smart, steady and had great potential. For her daughter Tao Yao, he was definitely a good match.

The most important thing is that she can also sense Tao Yao's attitude towards Lin Shi. At least she doesn't dislike him, and she can even say that she has some affection for him. This is the first time in all these years that she has noticed her daughter behaving like this towards the opposite sex.

Moreover, she also hoped that Lin Shi could bring a turning point for the situation. The power that could resist the cold might be the chance for Tao Yao to be reborn. But she also knew that such a thing would never be easy. Without sufficient reasons, no one could force Lin Shi to do anything.

But what if the relationship goes further?

Therefore, she was naturally happy to match them up, but Li Taoyao's physical condition was indeed a hurdle that could not be overcome. There was nothing she could do, she could only let it go and just let her daughter be happy.

"What is this? It's a good thing."

While Tao Ran was thinking, Lin Shi was looking at a purple-red bead in front of him, marveling at it.

Life Orb: After carrying it, although the HP will be reduced slightly each time you attack, the power of the moves will increase.

Lin Shi was not unfamiliar with this item. It was a relatively popular item that increased the power of moves at the expense of reduced health. Judging from the color and luster of the bead in front of him, the quality was undoubtedly excellent.

Good quality means that while reducing the loss of health, the power of skills can be increased, greatly improving the sustainable combat capability of the elf using this item.

Lin Shi was quite interested in this item. It was very suitable for Dragonite, which was evolved from Kabutops, and could take its violent output capability to a higher level.

With Tao Ran's vision, she would certainly recognize this life orb, so she and Tao Yao probably put it here because they have no use for it and don't want to sell it. It should be fine for Lin Shi to take it directly.

Although he had made up his mind, Lin Shi did not act immediately. After all, he had not yet checked the entire collection room, so he was not in a hurry.
