Pokémon: From Magikarp

"Let him in quickly."

Hearing Zhou Wanjin's words, the bodyguard immediately opened the door and invited the person in.

The person who came was a man who looked young. He was wearing a black suit and had a slicked-back hair and powdered face, looking a bit ostentatious.

"Excuse me, Master Zhou."

When Secretary Wang came in, he first stared at Lin Shi carefully for a while, then put on a smile, bent slightly and greeted Zhou Wanjin.

"Secretary Wang, is there any new information from the detection team?"

Zhou Wanjin asked.

"Ugh."

Secretary Wang sighed and shook his head.

“Still nothing.”

But he stood up straight again soon, looked at Lin Shi and said:

"So I heard that you hired an expert at a high salary, so I came to visit you."

“This is the expert, right?”

"He is really young and handsome."

Seeing the target pointed at him, Lin Shi spread his hands to show that he was innocent and he didn't know the person at all.

"Hey, Fatty, who is this person?"

Lin Shi turned his head slightly and asked Zhou Wanjin in a low voice.

"His name is Wang Shujun. He is my father's assistant secretary. I heard he is very talented. He got this position just a few years after graduating from college."

"Because the previous exploration team wasted too much time and found nothing, my father was very angry, so he specially sent him to lead the new exploration team to explore the brownstone mine, but it has been several weeks and there has been no progress."

Zhou Wanjin turned sideways and whispered to Lin Shi.

"I see."

Lin Shi understood that this newly appointed prospecting team leader had not made any achievements in the past few weeks, but at this time, the Zhou family asked him, a complete outsider, to help.

Both he and the entire exploration team must have some complaints.

There are so many of them and so many professional instruments, but they can't find it. How can you, a high school student who has never been to college, find it?

And they enjoy privileges and receive a good salary?

Isn't this a slap in our face and looking down on us?

To be honest, anyone would feel unhappy.

But Lin Shi said, you may be unhappy, but don’t use your career to challenge my hobby, otherwise you will lose your job…

Wow, businessmen have so many thoughts.

"It turns out to be Secretary Wang."

Lin Shi walked forward with both hands stretched forward, holding the other person's hand tightly with a smile on his face.

"I'm not an expert, I'm just an amateur."

Secretary Wang couldn't help but frown when Lin Shi held his hand.

This kid is putting in so much effort!

He struggled to pull his hand back from Lin Shi's.

"Haha, Mr. Lin is too modest."

"In fact, I came here today not only to discuss the brownstone detection with Lin, but also to ask a favor..."

"Oh?"

What else is going on? Lin Shi was a little curious.

"In fact, I have always wanted to be a trainer, but my family was not well off during the college entrance examination, so I could only study liberal arts."

"I didn't officially start training elves until a few years ago, but I've never had a serious battle."

"I heard that Lin is not only a top-notch detection technician, but also the No. 3 High School's No. 1 competitor. He is a master of both literature and martial arts. I wonder if he would be so kind as to challenge me to a duel?"

Lin Shi understood. In short, it was just looking for trouble.

Not only did he understand, but everyone present understood.

"Secretary Wang, Lin Shi is my friend and I was the one who brought him here. What do you mean by this?"

Zhou Wanjin's face looked a little ugly. Secretary Wang's behavior simply did not take him seriously.

After hearing Zhou Wanjin's words, Secretary Wang bowed repeatedly, but soon stood up and said:

"Since Lin joined, everyone in our exploration team has been very dissatisfied. As the captain, if I don't stand up at this time, it will be difficult to lead the team in the future. I hope you can understand."

"And I also want to try on behalf of Mr. Zhou. Is this student Lin qualified to stand here?"

At this point he stopped pretending and just laid his cards on the table.

"you……"

Zhou Wanjin wanted to say something, but was stopped by Lin Shi.

"What's the level of this Secretary Wang Elf?"

Lin Shi asked quickly.

Zhou Wanjin was stunned for a moment. He never expected Lin Shi to ask this.

No matter what level they are, they have several years more training time than us, so it’s impossible for us to beat them.

But he responded quickly:

"I don't know, but it's definitely not an elite..."

"Lin Shi, listen to me, we don't have to..."

Lin Shi didn't listen to Zhou Wanjin's words. If he was not an elite, he was below level 35...

"Why, you are the number one in the class, but you don't even dare to fight against a liberal arts student like me?"

Seeing that Lin Shi didn't respond, Secretary Wang started to mock him.

Ignoring the other party's poor acting skills, Lin Shi said:

"Let's not waste time,"

"Tell me, what can you give me in a fight with me?"

Secretary Wang: ...

Secretary Wang was silent for a while, as if he had not expected Lin Shi to ask this. After a while, he grinned and said:

"Okay, that's great. I'll just say it straight then."

As he said this he took out a card from his pocket.

"There's 20 in this card, which is exactly your salary. No matter whether you win or lose in the battle later, the money is yours."

"If you win, I'll give you the money and leave immediately. But if you lose, this money will be considered as my advance salary. You leave here immediately and don't get involved in this matter anymore."

According to the contract, Lin Shi can get 200 million if he finds the mineral deposit, and if he fails, he will also receive 20 yuan in labor fees.

"Secretary Wang, that's enough..."

"it is good."

Lin Shi interrupted Zhou Wanjin again and agreed. Why not make 20 yuan for free?

"what?"

Zhou Wanjin's eyes widened. This Lin Shi was too bold. He dared to...

"Lin Shi, are you crazy?"

Zhou Wanjin felt that Lin Shi might not want to do this anymore...

Lin Shi smiled and waved to Zhou Wanjin, giving him a reassuring look.

"As expected of the No.1, very courageous."

Lin Shi accepted the challenge, and Secretary Wang complimented him with a fake smile.

After all, he is a student and he couldn't help but make a few sarcastic remarks.

"Okay, stop wasting time. I have something else to do later."

Lin Shi moved his wrist and said impatiently.

"Fatty, can I borrow your training ground?"

……

At the Zhou family training ground, Lin Shi and Secretary Wang stood on both sides.

Secretary Wang took out the Poké Ball first and released the Pokémon.

It was an elf that looked like an old man, with a gray-brown body but wrapped with red muscle stripes. It held two concrete pillars in its hands and was playing with them in the air with great vigor.

"Migrant workers?"

Seeing Secretary Wang’s Pokémon, Lin Shi understood why he was so confident. The Builder Pokémon had also been glorious in the history of game battles. Its super high physical attack and good skill pool allowed it to occupy a place for a long time.

Using a Pokémon like this to fight against a high school student, the opponent will not be able to find a reason to lose.

However, this Pokémon doesn't really fit with his identity. In his impression, isn't this kind of Pokémon only used by contractors...

It's my turn.

Lin Shi took out the Poké Ball and threw it into the air. A huge, glowing Pokémon appeared in the training ground. It floated in the air and roared at the old builder below.

Gyarados, accept the challenge!
