Pokémon: World of Wonder

Jiang Ye touched Xiaoyue's head and stuffed the flyer in his hand into his bag.

Since Xiaoyue wants to go, there's no harm in joining in.

Seeing Jiang Ye stuffing the flyers into his bag, Tong Yi understood what Jiang Ye was thinking.

So he asked, "Jiang Ye, do you have a steel-type Pokémon?"

"Why haven't I seen you let it out?"

Jiang Ye smiled and replied, "Yes, and I have released it many times."

After thinking for a while, Tong Yi's eyes widened, "Jiang Ye, you are not saying that your Nidorino is a steel-type Pokémon?"

Jiang Ye had a smile on his face but didn't say anything. Ami, who specialized in steel-attribute Pokémon, spoke up.

"Maybe~ If I'm not mistaken, this Nidorino is indeed a steel attribute."

"Ms. Ami, why did you guess Nidorino?"

"Doesn't Screw look more like a Steel-type Pokémon?"

When it comes to Steel-type Pokémon, Ami's demeanor changes smoothly from shy to confident in an instant.

"Jiang Ye, if you stay with many steel-type Pokémon for a long time."

"You can feel the heavy temperament in the sharpness of Steel-type Pokémon, which is a prominent feature of Steel-type Pokémon."

Jiang Ye nodded in agreement and then asked another question.

"By the way, Ms. Ami, what about the gym badge?"

"Ah, just call me Ami. I've already applied for the gym badge."

As she spoke, Ami picked up the communicator and brought up the application interface, showing it to Jiang Ye for him to check.

Jiang Ye frowned as he looked at the interface, and Tong Yi beside him was also a little angry.

"Humph! Are you deliberately making things difficult for me?"

Although Lijia blamed Jiang Ye a little, she recognized Jiang Ye's strength.

Looking at the three big red words "Not Approved" on the application interface, he looked a little strange.

Seeing the expressions of the three people, Ami felt uneasy and immediately handed the communicator to herself to check it.

"Huh? How could this happen?!"

Ami clicks on the rejected application to view detailed information.

The reasons for rejection turned out to be that the basic theory was not solid enough and the command was inappropriate.

Using this excuse shows that you sincerely don't want to give the badge.

Ami was just a prospective gym leader who came here to learn, and there was nothing she could do about it.

She could only look at Jiang Ye with a blushing face and apology in her eyes.

Jiang Ye asked himself, he really had no intersection with the Jiang family.

Is it arrogance to civilians to not give them badges?

Fortunately, Master Zhu had anticipated this situation, and Jiang Ye took out the letter of recommendation from Zhu Ziming from his bag.

When Ami saw Jiang Ye take out a letter from his bag, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Jiang Ye, could this be?"

Jiang Ye nodded, "Yes, the recommendation letter from other museum owners."

"Great! With the letter of recommendation, the owner should be able to give you the badge."

"Come on, Lijia and I will take you to visit the owner."

As they spoke, Ami and Lijia walked to the door and turned around to signal Jiang Ye to follow.

Walking into another unknown path, Jiang Ye felt as if he was trapped in a bamboo forest.

Beneath the mottled shadows of the bamboo is a quiet winding path.

"It's a very beautiful bamboo path. Isn't it nice?"

Hearing Lijia's question, Jiang Ye nodded and said it was indeed good.

Different from what Jiang Ye expected, in the gym represented by the steel type, the steel element is very rare.

Instead, there are endless stretches of green, making people feel like they are in a bamboo forest in the wild.

There is a lot of greenery, but with it come very few mosquitoes.

Finally, Ami and Lijia stopped with Jiang Ye and Tong Yi.

We stopped in front of a circular arch with a cypress bud pond hanging on it.

A maid walked up to the round archway and greeted Jiang Ye and the other three people and bowed.

"Dear guests, the front is a private area."

Lijia returned the greeting with a smile, "Thank you for the reminder. Is the owner in there now?"

The maid nodded.

Seeing this, Lijia stepped aside and turned to look at Jiang Ye.

Jiang Ye stepped forward and handed the letter of recommendation to the maid.

"Hello, my name is Jiang Ye, I'm here to visit your owner, please inform him."

The maid took the letter of recommendation, which had no signature on it.

Looking at the seal of the envelope on the back, a red hammer-shaped seal appears.

I took a look at the position of the hammer head and saw that the complex pattern was stuck to the seal without any fall off.

A very representative lacquer seal, owned by the Zhu family.

Seeing this, the maid nodded in approval, "Please wait a moment."

After a while, the maid who had turned and entered the archway came out.

"Mr. Jiang Ye, please come in. You can see the owner by following the main path."

"As for Miss Ami, Miss Lijia, and this lady, I will take you to another pavilion to rest for a while."

In the pavilion at the end of the main road, an old man sat cross-legged on a bunk bed.

Next to him was an unfinished chess game, and in front of him was the crude fishing rod.

The old man held Zhu Ziming's letter of recommendation in his hand and looked at the contents of the letter with a puzzled expression.

For a commoner, it is nothing to get the secret skills that the Zhu family publicizes so much.

But a letter of recommendation is not something that can be easily obtained, especially from that old guy Zhu Ziming.

This person seems to be able to get along with anyone, but it is extremely difficult to gain his true recognition.

The content of the letter was filled with vulgar language, and the handwriting was crooked, and it was obvious that it was handwritten.

In a nutshell, let Jiang Wuya take good care of Jiang Ye.

Jiang Wuya must give face to Zhu Ziming.

When Gangyan City was just starting out, it was Zhu Ziming's father who recruited most of the blacksmiths from Heisha Town.

All of them were sent to Gangyan City to help their Jiang family with forging and research and development of materials.

This is how the Jiang family became what they are today, becoming the northern hegemon of the Huangyan Alliance and one of the economic arteries of Huangyan.

Under the guidance of his father since childhood, Jiang Wuya has become shrewd and scheming.

But he is very grateful to the craftsmen in Heisha Town and the Zhu family.

From Gangyan City to the present, under the management of Yan Chengjiang, the promotional advertisements for Heisha Town are still as good as the local scenic spots.

If the Zhu family didn't have only one girl, he wouldn't have held this head-on competition in advance.

Since Zhu Ziming sent such a flamingo and is so optimistic about him.

Jiang Wuya naturally had to take good care of him.

If it's appropriate, it would be nice to let Shu Yun develop some relationship with him.

After all, this kid is good-looking and his personality could be improved with a little guidance.

Managing the family for Shu Yun is also a piece of fine unpolished jade.

But the plan cannot stop, he has to clear all obstacles for his granddaughter before his death.

Jiang Wuya was just thinking when the sound of footsteps was heard.

Turning around, I saw a young man with messy hair walking towards me.

"Jiang Ye?"

Jiang Ye walked into the pavilion.

Looking at the old man in front of him whose breath was like a candle in the wind and could be extinguished at any time, he nodded.

After taking a look, Jiang Wuya evaluated in his heart.

Not bad, more handsome than in the portrait.

Jiang Wuya nodded and pointed at the cushion opposite him.

"Sit down?"

"it is good."

Jiang Ye sat on the mat and looked at the hunchbacked old man opposite him.

"I am Jiang Wuya, the current master of the Precision Gym."

(Second section, I missed one chapter yesterday, so I’ll make up for it here)

“Can you play Go?”

"will not."

"What about chess?"

"will not."

This kid really doesn't give me face. This time Jiang Wuya didn't ask any more questions.

"Backgammon!"

As he spoke, he cleared all the black and white chess pieces on the board, and then placed a white piece at the center.

Jiang Ye can play Go and chess.

But he didn't want to play chess with the old man because he was just an ordinary man who knew a little bit.

How could this old man who is in his twilight years be killed?

The old man looked at the chessboard and waited for Jiang Ye's move. Jiang Ye could only pick up a black piece and put it down.

From the perspective of the chess game, it was clearly the black piece that made the first move, but the old man made the first move with the white piece.

"Jiang Ye, I will just take advantage of my age and call you Jiang Boy."

As he said this, he dropped a piece.

"Ah."

Jiang Ye nodded in agreement and placed a move.

"Ordinary people can get the Zhu family's secret skills, but there are only three people who can get a letter of recommendation in all these years."

Jiang Wuya dropped a piece and looked at Jiang Ye dimly, "You are the third one."

"The Zhu family and the Jiang family depend on each other. Zhu Ziming asked me to take good care of you, so I must do it."

With three lives on two roads, Jiang Wuya is going to lose.

Hearing this, Jiang Ye looked up at Jiang Wuya, "So?"

Hearing Jiang Ye's question, the old man placed a piece on his own and replaced the black piece with three active pieces in two rows with a white piece.

"Originally, I refused to give you the gym badge just to make you complete one thing."

"Now, I can give you the gym badge right away, but I just want to ask you for a favor."

Jiang Ye looked at Jiang Wuya's godly move on the chessboard and his eyes twitched.

You thought you were so focused on the conversation that you couldn't see anything, right?

Helplessly leaving one move behind, Jiang Ye hadn't spoken yet, Jiang Wuya continued, "Of course, after the task is completed, the reward will definitely satisfy you."

"So, what's going on?"

Jiang Wuya suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Jiang boy, you escaped from the black mine before, right?"

Jiang Ye nodded. It would not be difficult for such a wealthy family to find out the news. Then he gave birth to a son.

Another two-way victory.

Jiang Wuya held two white pieces, blocked Jiang Ye's two routes and spoke.

"I want you to read out everything the Yan family did to all the audiences watching the game live and online when you give your championship speech at the Head-to-Head Contest."

"Champion's speech? How do you know I can win?"

Jiang Ye picked up a piece and was about to place it down, but Jiang Wuya grabbed two white pieces and placed them on the board first.

In an instant, his three-piece position turned into five white pieces.

"Hahahahahaha, the Head-to-Head Contest is hosted by our Jiang family."

"With your abilities, if I give you a little help, you will definitely be able to win the championship smoothly."

Jiang Ye's eyes twitched, and he finally understood.

Jiang Wuya is an absolute lousy chess player. He always likes to cheat when playing Gobang.

I wonder how miserable it would have been if I had chosen to play Go or chess before.

If the Jiang family helps throughout the process, it will not be difficult to win the championship.

Jiang Ye nodded, "So, what's the reward?"

"Haha, I have three rewards."

"First, the Pokémon that competes with you and wins the championship will be taught all the Steel-type moves that can be learned in the gym."

Hearing this, Jiang Ye nodded. Awesome, there are two more rewards of this level. How generous.

Seeing Jiang Ye nod, Jiang Wuya continued, "Second, our Jiang family will give you a spirit illustration book."

"Of course, this is definitely not an ordinary elf encyclopedia, but a very sophisticated intelligent machine."

"After testing the current Pokémon's blood and observing it in real time."

"It can display all the detailed information and status of the current Pokémon."

"The effect is even better than those elf illustrations given by the doctors!"

Yes, this thing is a very practical prop for Jiang Ye as a trainer.

Jiang Ye continued to look at Jiang Wuya and waited for him to explain the third reward.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Wuya smiled mysteriously and said, "The third reward will be known when you win the championship. I hope you like it."

Ok?

These words made Jiang Ye feel a little uneasy.

Aren’t you explaining the compensation to me now?

Why are you still hiding it?

Jiang Wuya might have his reasons for saying this, but the first two rewards had made Jiang Ye a little unable to walk.

"How about it? Jiang boy, do you want to do it?"

"......Do."

Jiang Wuya nodded and took out a badge-sized machine from his arms.

The machine has a large hollow gear with four small gears at the four corners, and a complex mechanical structure in the hollow center of the large gear.

Handing the mechanical badge to Jiang Ye, Jiang Wuya said, "Here, Jiang boy, this is the mechanical badge of our Precision Gym."

Jiang Ye reached out and took it. He finally got the second badge.

"Okay, go back and get ready. Don't let me down, Jiang boy."

Jiang Wuya turned his body to face Jiang Ye, picked up the crude fishing rod beside him, and started fishing on his own.

Jiang Ye nodded, stood up and walked out of the pavilion, and under the guidance of a maid, he met Tong Yi and others.

"Jiang Ye! What did the owner say?"

Facing the inquiring gazes of the three women, Jiang Ye took out the mechanical badge he had just received from his pocket and showed it to them.

"got it."

"Great! I knew you could do it, Jiang Ye!"

"This museum owner must be bullying you because you are a commoner!"

"Fortunately, Master Zhu had anticipated this!"

Jiang Ye and Amelia listened to Tong Yi's chattering with a smile.

After resting for a while, Ami and Lijia sent Jiang Ye and Tong Yi out of the gym.

It was only around three in the afternoon.

Ami and Lijia said goodbye to Jiang Yetongyi and said they were going to Heisha Town to experience the unique volcanic hot springs.

Tong Yi brought Jiang Ye, who was free for the time being, to the Pioneer Square.

This square was built to commemorate the first generation of workers in Gangyan City.

At that time, there was no fully automated mechanical manufacturing process, and people could only hammer and perform repetitive non-human work.

It is because of these hard-working people that Gangyan City has finally developed into what it is today.

There are a small number of specialty shops in Pioneer Square.

The rest are all the specialties of Gangyan City, which should be like a food street in the local area.

Tong Yi took Jiang Ye for a stroll, and they saw a robot master making hand-pulled noodles stretching the noodles on the spot, and watched the master at the barbecue stall perform a flexible barbecue show using a robotic arm.

Finally, we also tasted the local Pioneer Energy Meal, which was various organs fried on an iron plate.

Lamb liver, deer kidney, poultry small intestines, beef tripe, pig large intestines, beef heart, and pig liver; these were what Jiang Ye ate from his own bowl.

The cow is most likely a Kentaro, the sheep should be from the mount goat series, the poultry is most likely a farmed Onion Duck, and the pig intestine should be from the long-haired pig or the fragrant pig series.

In short, it's a hodgepodge of all kinds of Pokémon.
