Pokémon: The Climb

Two hours passed so unconsciously.

When Yang Yan returned to Zhen Lao's office again, Zhen Lao was studying drawings at his desk.

"Sit down for a while!"

Zhenlao didn't look at Yang Yan when he spoke, his eyes were focused on the work in hand.

Yang Yan didn't bother, or in other words, no one was qualified to bother Zhen Lao at this time.

After about 10 minutes passed, Zhenlao put down the pen in his hand, adjusted his glasses, and said with a smile, "You're in a hurry. That's my problem. I forget time when I get busy."

"Many people are like this," Yang Yan nodded in agreement: "I am no exception."

Zhen Lao adjusted his glasses and said with a smile: "I can't say for sure, but I do believe that everyone who can achieve certain results has this characteristic."

After finishing speaking, Zhenlao took a sip of tea, and at the same time motioned Yang Yan to sit down with his hand, and then said: "Tell me about your matter. What important matter is it that you avoid other people to come to me at this point?"

Yang Yan sat on Zhen Lao's right hand: "I just learned..."

He told what happened during the day when he went to the cultivation house and met Mayor Uda, without hiding anything.

He didn't hide it, firstly, because the old man had a good attitude towards him, and secondly, he had worked with Zhenlao for a long time. With Zhenlao's status, he could easily find out about building a nursery.

Therefore, choosing not to hide is the greatest respect.

Zhenlao asked first: "How much do you know about the water fleet?"

Yang Yan replied: "The water fleet is very powerful. They and the Fire Rock Fleet are the two most powerful forces in the underground world in the Fengyuan region. It's just that one center of gravity is on land and the other on the sea."

Zhenlao asked again: "Since you understand, this time it is such a big thing to establish a transfer station at sea, do you think the water fleet will intervene?"

He had thought about this question for a long time, but he really didn't know the answer clearly, because no matter whether he chooses to intervene or not, there are advantages and disadvantages to both, so the final decision-making power will only lie with people, and human nature is the most unpredictable. , not to mention that Yang Yan has never had contact with the water fleet before, so it is even harder to judge.

"Sorry, so old, I didn't know."

Zhen Lao paused for a moment, stared at Yang Yan seriously, and found that he had thought about it, but he didn't relax until he understood it.

"That's right, you haven't dealt with the water fleet, so you don't know how normal it is, so I'll tell you. I've had many contacts with people from the water fleet in my life, and judging from their behavior, it's impossible. If you are interested in a breeding house in a small place like Yuanzhong City, even if you are really interested, you will not spend five months using such a small trick."

Yang Yan nodded in agreement. He also felt that it was a bit strange for the water fleet to target this breeding house, and the methods were even weirder, but the fact was the fact.

"Then do you think there may be influence from the Shanhai Team? For example... the force behind this training house is actually the Shanhai Team?"

Yang Yan said the words "Shan Hai Team" without any hesitation, because he believed that with Zhen Lao's status, Gao Temple would not hide anything.

The guess he just made is the most likely possibility he can think of at the moment. Otherwise, why would the water fleet use this method to deal with an ordinary breeding house?

"Shan Hai Team..."

After hearing Yang Yan's question, Zhen Lao fell into thinking.

Sure enough, to a certain extent, Zhen Lao also believed that this conjecture was logically reasonable.

After a while, Zhen Lao shook his head: "No, there are too few clues, and I can't judge it." However, Zhen Lao changed the subject again: "But from my experience, even if what you said is true, the water There is no reason for the fleet to do this.”

He raised his finger: "With the size of the Water Fleet, even if we have to compete with the Shanhai Fleet, it will not be too petty in this small training house. You have to know that in their world, what they believe in has always been It's the law of the jungle. If there is a conflict, those who are not strong enough will immediately choose to swallow their anger, while those who are strong will choose to take action directly. Even they don't like this method."

Yang Yan thought about it carefully and thought it made sense.

A person takes a breath of life, and a Buddha fights for a stick of incense. People like them are not people who can be patient and do "little things".

"Then how do you think we should handle it? Will the mission be affected?"

This time Zhen Lao did not hesitate and answered directly: "Whether it's the water fleet or the mountain and sea fleet, we don't need to pay too much attention to them. If they come to cause trouble, you can lead the team to repel them. We only need to do our job well." At the same time, just stay the same to cope with the ever-changing situation.”

Yang Yan hesitated for a while, but still said yes.

Zhen Lao's handling method cannot be said to be bad, but Yang Yan thinks it is too passive, which is not in line with his character. He prefers to hold the initiative in his own hands instead of passively welcoming trouble when it comes.

But in order not to spoil Zhen Lao's good intentions and face, he would not speak out at this time, and would only take some actions in private.

As for how to act, it's very simple, just call and ask Ms. Ju!

Since leaving Caiyou City, he had planned to contact Miss Ju in the past two days. Through Miss Ju, he can easily know the layout of part of the Shanhai team in Yuanzhong City.

If the Shan Hai Team really had a conflict with the Water Fleet, Miss Ju would be happy to tell her and find a way to attack the Water Fleet through her own alliance.

If not, the Shanhai fleet must also know what the water fleet is doing in Yuanzhong City.

This is called the rat way.

In the same world or circle, it is difficult to hide a lot of information.

"By the way, you said you wanted to build a nursery, was it because of the sea access?"

After putting aside the matter of the water fleet, Zhenlao asked about what he was just interested in.

Yang Yan nodded in agreement.

With my real experience, it is easy to guess.

Zhenlao laughed: "Yes, you have a good sense!"

Yang Yan pretended to be embarrassed and touched his head: "I just happened to catch it. I thought it was an opportunity and I didn't want to miss it."

"Building a nursery house is a time-consuming, labor-intensive and expensive job. Will you have enough money left after buying the land to buy building materials and hire a construction team?" Zhenlao asked curiously.

"There is still some money, which is enough. The construction team has not been hired yet. I am asking someone to help design the blueprints. I plan to find a suitable construction team when the blueprints are available."

"But don't worry, I will never delay the official event!"

Yang Yan made a guarantee.

"I do know a few construction teams with good reputations. If necessary, I will give you their contact information later."

What Yang Yan was waiting for was this sentence: "Thank you, really old man!"

……

Later, Yang Yan chatted with Zhen Lao for a while. Seeing that the old man was a little tired, he consciously said goodbye and left.

At dawn the next day.

Yang Yan led three team captains to join Zhenlao's inspection team and set off to Qinglian Island on a boat prepared in advance.
