Pokémon: From Magikarp

"Sister Ying, you called me?"

Lin Shi poked his head out from behind the door, looked inside and said.

What surprised him was that in addition to Zhang Shuiying, there was someone sitting opposite her, with long, soft pink hair draped behind her, and she looked very graceful.

"Li Taoyao? Why are you here too?"

After this period of rest, Li Taoyao has almost recovered. His complexion has returned to its former state and he has become energetic again.

"I asked her to come here, come and sit down."

Zhang Shuiying looked at Li Taoyao with a smile, waved to Lin Shi and said.

Lin Shi obediently entered the house and sat down next to Li Taoyao.

"Hey Linshi, are the flowers planted?"

Li Taoyao winked at Lin Shi playfully.

"Harmful……"

Lin Shi sighed, shook his head, then turned his gaze to Zhang Shuiying and said:

"Sister Ying, what's the matter with calling us here today?"

Zhang Shuiying stood up, poured a glass of water for Lin Shi and the other man, then looked at Lin Shi and said.

"Actually, it's about the internship during this semester's holidays. Originally, Taoyao was scheduled to go, but as you know, Taoyao has just recovered from a serious illness, so her physical condition may not be suitable."

"So the school wants me to ask you if you want to go. We can adjust the personnel and let you participate in place of Taoyao."

Hearing Zhang Shuiying's words, Lin Shi was slightly stunned, because he knew the whole story and knew the special significance of Kunlun Mountain to Li Taoyao. He did not expect Li Taoyao to give up this trip.

Thinking of this, his gaze slightly turned towards Li Taoyao. It was not difficult to see some gloom in her eyes. Obviously, she was still a little unwilling. It seemed that this should be Tao Ran's decision.

After all, Li Taoyao's sudden loss of control of the coldness scared Tao Ran half to death. It was impossible for him to let Li Taoyao go to such a harsh place so quickly. If another accident happened and rescue was not possible in time, the consequences would be disastrous. He could understand Tao Ran's feelings.

Seeing Lin Shi's silence, Zhang Shuiying felt a little discouraged. In fact, she also felt that this practical activity seemed a bit excessive and a bit dangerous, but it was decided by President Zhao himself. It was said that it took a lot of time and connections, so the opportunity was really rare.

"It's okay. I know it's a bit abrupt to ask you about this right now. After all, the practice site is in a mountain range over 5000 meters above sea level. It's covered with ice and snow all year round, and the environment is really harsh."

"If you think there is a problem, you can tell me directly. I will tell the school directly and ask them to replace the person or give up the project. In short, it will be completely in accordance with your wishes."

Zhang Shuiying said softly, giving the initiative completely to Lin Shi.

"I'm sorry, Sister Ying. If it weren't for me, this matter wouldn't have become so difficult." Li Taoyao said with her hands crossed, a little embarrassed.

"What are you talking about? How can I blame you? Your health is the most important thing. Your safety is the most important thing."

Zhang Shuiying comforted Li Taoyao.

"How about it, Lin Shi, have you thought about it?"

After saying that, she turned her gaze to Lin Shi again, waiting for his decision.

At this moment, Lin Shi seemed a little dazed. He held his chin with his hand and muttered something.

"Ice and snow, white snow..."

Suddenly his eyes focused, he made a decision in his heart, turned to look at Zhang Shuiying, and nodded.

"No problem, I can go to this practical activity."

Lin Shi said calmly that he felt that he could participate in this event. On the one hand, after participating in the event, he would once again be eligible to enter the school's treasury.

You know, the super magic ring of Hoopa that he got last time is of great value and immeasurable. He doesn't want to miss such an opportunity. After all, he has not explored many things in that treasure house yet, and there may be surprises.

Secondly, Lin Shi, who was troubled by the problem of "growing vegetables" during this period, discovered that the practice site this time had an extremely suitable ice and snow environment. The Kunlun Mountains are extremely high in altitude, and many peaks are covered with ice and snow all year round. This environment is absolutely suitable for the growth of ice radish.

In addition, with the successful broadcast and promotion of the Meng family's last advertising promotional video, Lin Shi's fame has further increased, and the speed of collecting jealousy points has increased by leaps and bounds. Not long ago, the scale value of his Jade of Disaster finally reached 50%.

When the Jade of Disaster reached the 50% mark, some obvious changes occurred. The entire gem became more crystal clear and sparkling, and it no longer had the feeling of being shabby as it did when Lin Shichu first obtained it.

Moreover, Lin Shi could often feel the strong life fluctuations coming from it, and he knew that it was the breath of the ancient jade fish.

But unfortunately, it seemed that there was still something missing. The ancient jade fish did not wake up and still maintained the appearance of jade. Moreover, three star-like bright spots appeared on the surface of the original jade, making Lin Shi completely confused about its function.

Not only that, he also found that after the scale reached 50%, he could no longer see information about the jealousy value acquisition, and the information that used to fill the screen with barrages disappeared completely.

He also didn't know what state the Jade of Disaster was in now. It seemed that it had reached a bottleneck and stopped absorbing jealousy value. Although he was still a little confused, this also gave him the opportunity to leave Taoxian City, his base, and go to other areas with peace of mind.

So, for various reasons, plus he was very interested in the Kunlun Mountains, he was still willing to take a trip. Anyway, as long as he followed the school's arrangements, his safety was guaranteed.

"Really? You wanna go?"

Zhang Shuiying opened her eyes wide and looked at Lin Shi and said in a lost voice, she thought that with Lin Shi's stable character, he would definitely refuse.

"Yes, I heard there is a lot of combat experience there. I also hope to hone my elf team there and prepare for the secret realm exploration next semester."

Lin Shi took a sip of tea and said to Zhang Shuiying.

"But Sister Ying, I have another request."

"Request?" Zhang Shuiying was a little confused.

"What do you want? Just tell me."

"Don't worry, it's not a big deal. I just want to take a few days off in advance. I have some things to deal with..."

……

After talking with Zhang Shuiying, Lin Shi's plan was finalized. During the semester vacation, he will go to Hongshan Peak in the Kunlun Mountains and join the ranger team of the Kunlun Nature Reserve for a month-long practical activity.

After finishing the work, Lin Shi and Li Taoyao left Zhang Shuiying's office together. It was almost June at this time, the weather was getting warmer, and there was a lively scene everywhere.

"You really don't plan to go?"

The two walked side by side on the road, and Lin Shi glanced at Li Taoyao and said.

"Ugh……"

Li Taoyao sighed deeply and reached out to push the messy hair on her forehead back.

"I can't help it. I just can't get my mom to agree. I finally managed to convince her. It's all because of that damn Polaris."

Li Taoyao said indignantly.

"That's fine, actually. We should use this time to rest. Besides, there's no news from Polaris yet, so we should focus on safety first."

Lin Shi said comfortingly.

"It can only be this way……"

Li Taoyao looked up at the clean blue sky, a different kind of brilliance blooming in her crystal pupils.
