Pokémon: From Magikarp

Baishan City, Zhou family.

"Lin Shi, you're back."

In the evening, Lin Shi dragged his tired body back to Zhou's house. The little blacksmith had still run away. There was a vast sea of ​​trees and he had no idea where to find it. He could only go back in a few days. Maybe it would go back.

"Lin Shi, what you are holding in your hand is..."

As soon as he entered the door, Zhou Wanjin was attracted by the box in Lin Shi's hand. He asked Lin Shi in disbelief.

"I have lived up to your expectations."

Lin Shi threw the box to Zhou Wanjin and went into the house to wash and change his clothes.

Zhou Wanjin quickly opened the box, and inside were several brown stones that Lin Shi had taken out from the mining area.

"Damn, Lin Shi, you're too strong."

"From today on, you are my Zhou Wanjin's best brother!"

Zhou Wanjin looked at the brown stone still covered with mud and shouted at Lin Shi who was taking a bath.

When Lin Shi heard this, he immediately closed and locked the bathroom door, otherwise he was really afraid that the fat man would rush in.

"By the way, Fatty, don't tell anyone else about my discovery of the mineral deposit. Just tell your dad."

"Ok?"

"why?"

Zhou Wanjin was holding the phone, looking at Lin Shi who had changed his clothes with a puzzled look on his face.

"Do you still remember that I was followed by Minghui Mining?"

Lin Shi sat down, thought for a moment and then said to Zhou Wanjin.

"Of course."

"Why do you ask?"

"Have you ever thought about why I am followed by their people whenever I go out?"

Zhou Wanjin was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted.

"Are you saying there's a traitor among us?"

Lin Shi nodded. It was obvious that the two brothers knew everything about him, even the fact that he would have dinner with Zhou Wanjin that day. It was obvious that someone inside the Zhou family was leaking the information.

"No, I have to tell my dad right away and ask him to check it out."

Zhou Wanjin pondered for a while, took out his phone and was about to call Zhou Qiming.

"Okay, save it."

Lin Shi picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and shook his head.

"Your father and your second uncle probably knew about it a long time ago. I've always said that businessmen are really cunning."

"They didn't tell you because they were afraid you would alert the enemy. They probably already started investigating the suspects."

After listening to Lin Shi's words, Zhou Wanjin nodded. If it was his second uncle and the others, it would not be surprising if they did such a thing.

"So do you think my dad and the others have caught the man?"

Zhou Wanjin asked, holding his chin with his hand.

"Probably not, otherwise we would have heard the news a long time ago."

Then Lin Shi pondered for a moment and said:

"Generally speaking, the traitor hasn't been found yet. It's either because he is hiding deep inside or he has a high position..."

"Then what should I do now?"

Zhou Wanjin picked up the phone, put it down again and asked Lin Shi.

"Didn't I tell you? Just call your dad and ask him to arrange for someone he trusts to gather here tomorrow and go into the mountains to prospect for minerals."

Lin Shi smiled and said to Zhou Wanjin that no matter who the traitor was, Zhou Qiming couldn't be it, so there was absolutely no harm in telling him.

And he didn't want to cause any trouble. He was just here to explore for minerals. As for solving cases, sorry, that was not within the scope of his services.

"okay, I get it."

Zhou Wanjin also thought it made sense and nodded heavily.

"Oh, right."

After talking about the mine, Lin Shi looked at Zhou Wanjin and suddenly smiled.

"Do you remember the conditions you promised me?"

……

"Lin Shi, just pick it. Don't mention just one. Even if you want both, if I, Zhou Wanjin, frown even once, I will never be able to pursue Tingting in this lifetime..."

Listening to Zhou Wanjin's oath and seeing his serious expression, Lin Shi clearly felt his sincerity.

In the room in front of him were placed all the stones that Zhou Wanjin had collected over the years, ranging from various minerals and gems to ordinary stones that were just beautiful.

As soon as he entered the house, Lin Shi looked at it carefully and patiently, his eyes sweeping over the dazzling stones.

Keystone, keystone, keystone...

A key stone appeared...

Lin Shi kept praying and begging in his heart, if you give him a key stone, he would take off right away!

But as he looked at one stone after another, his hope gradually faded as the number of stones he had seen decreased, until he finished looking at the last stone and still found nothing.

Not to mention the Key Stone, Mega Evolution Stone, and Z Crystal, he didn't even see a piece of Tai Crystal fragment...

Lin Shi didn't know what expression to make now. Although he didn't get anything, it also showed that these things were indeed rare in this world, so he wouldn't be the one who would open his hands on a passerby one day.

"What? Lin Shi, you don't like any of them?"

Zhou Wanjin looked at Lin Shi in disbelief.

Brother, are your standards so high?

"Wait a minute, this is..."

Just as he was about to leave, a jar filled with various black crystals caught Lin Shi's attention.

This seems to have not been checked yet...

Zhou Wanjin looked at the jar. It contained some small black collections that he had collected before, including crystals and stones. There shouldn't be anything precious.

Ignoring Zhou Wanjin's thoughts, Lin Shi picked up the jar and searched carefully. This was the last hope for the whole village.

Suddenly he stopped. If Zhou Wanjin looked from the front, he could see that his hands were shaking slightly.

found it!

Evil Z: It can be used to create Z-power crystals that can be used in battle and can upgrade evil-attribute moves into Z-moves.

Lin Shi excitedly took out the black diamond-shaped crystal, a genuine Z crystal.

Then Lin Shi carefully put it away, and while Zhou Wanjin was not paying attention, he searched all the stone items and props he could think of, and only after confirming that nothing was missed did he leave reluctantly.

Coming out of the room, Lin Shi felt very happy.

Although this Z crystal cannot be used for a long time, after all, the use of Z crystal requires the cooperation of Z bracelet, and things like Z bracelet are unlikely to appear in this world for a while...

But it was a good start. Maybe one day he could meet the four island gods and ask them to make one for him.

Seeing that Lin Shi had chosen the items he wanted, Zhou Wanjin seemed very happy. As for what Lin Shi took away, Young Master Zhou didn't care.

"Boss, you're back."

Lin Shi and Zhou Wangangang were about to go downstairs when they heard the voice of the nanny.

The two looked at each other.

"Your dad is back?"

Zhou Wanjin nodded and immediately walked towards the door.

As a guest, Lin Shi naturally followed him.

"Dad, Second Uncle, you are here."

"Secretary Wang is here too."

When I arrived at the door, three people had just entered. Looking at their appearance, it seemed that they had rushed over immediately after receiving Zhou Wanjin's call.

"With such a big discovery, there's no way Dad could sit still."

Zhou Qiming's face was flushed and he looked very happy.

Then he turned his gaze to Lin Shi.

"This must be Lin Shi, he is indeed a handsome man."

"I'm sorry, Xiaolin. I'm too busy with work, otherwise I should have come to see you a long time ago. It's Uncle Zhou's fault. Please bear with me."

Zhou Qiming first praised Lin Shi, and then expressed his apologies.

Lin Shi smiled but didn't say anything. He was sure that before the brownstone mine was found, Mr. Zhou might not even remember his name.

Then he asked Zhou Wanjin to take out the box containing the brown stone that Lin Shi had brought back, opened the box, and the three men immediately came to the front.

"It is indeed brown stone." Zhou Qiming exclaimed.

"I actually found it." Uncle Zhou Er looked at Lin Shi in disbelief.

Secretary Wang said nothing, with a complicated expression.

The night is getting deeper...
