Pokémon: The Bold Rat

"Yiyuan, why do you think the alliance wants to suddenly reform the college entrance examination? If they want to reform it, then reform it, but why are they in such a hurry to let our class take the exam directly?

Over 50% casualty rate! 50%! "

As the fat boy spoke, tears began to flow.

"Hey~"

Zhao Yiyuan couldn't say anything about this and could only pat Dafei on the shoulder silently.

Indeed, a 50% casualty rate was simply terrifying. He had already anticipated that after the college entrance examination, half of Anping City would be covered in white, and the elderly would send off the young.

If the alliance does not take any countermeasures, it is likely to cause huge fluctuations.

But looking at the soldiers who were still doing their duty with no change in expression, he estimated that the alliance must have been prepared long ago.

Just as Zhao Yiyuan was feeling emotional, a soldier suddenly ran over and said:

"Student Zhao, we have received an order from our superiors that the monitors of each class should go to Room 2 on the second floor to check the roster. Please follow me."

As he said this, he made a gesture of invitation.

"it is good."

After agreeing, Zhao Yiyuan followed him without any suspicion.

It was obvious that one person from each of the surrounding teams had walked out and followed the soldiers.

However, some people went to Building A, some went to Building B, and some went to the building next door.

There were seven or eight of them walking together at the beginning, but as they got to the edge of the building, there were fewer and fewer people.

By the time they reached the second floor, he was the only one left.

"Knock, buckle, buckle~"

I knocked gently on the door, and an old man's voice came from inside.

"Since you have brought the person, come in."

"Yes, Chief."

As he spoke, the young soldier looked at the boy next to him and motioned him to go in.

The young man, who was somewhat suspicious, had no choice but to go in.

Opposite the piled-up desk, three old men in teacher uniforms were looking at him with smiles on their faces.

As a high school student, I have a high level of knowledge about my country's military structure, uniforms and insignia.

Therefore, he was shocked and immediately took the lead in saluting and said:

"Hello, three leaders!"

The division commander is definitely a big shot in the military, so it’s definitely right to call him chief.

After all, according to what the book says, all the teachers are at least the best in the professional level (gym).

"Well, classmate Zhao Yiyuan, in order to minimize the possibility of you being exposed, we can only resort to this last resort."

As he spoke, the oldest man with gray hair in the middle was the first to introduce himself.

"Let me introduce myself. My last name is Yu. I am the sub-chief of Yinyan Island and the commander of the Nanyang Yujiang Division!"

"Hello, Chief Yu!"

As a civilian who had only seen military leaders on TV, Zhao Yiyuan felt that the old man looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who he was for a while, so he called out respectfully first.

"My last name is Li, Li Guoping, and I'm the commander of the Nanyang Chuanhu Division. Classmates, you can call me Mr. Li or Commander Li."

"Hello Mr. Li!"

On the left, the second oldest, kind-looking old man smiled and nodded.

Finally, the square-faced old man on the right, or the middle-aged general, "Ahem~", cleared his throat, and said:

"My name is Wang Gang, the commander of the Anwan Island garrison, and also the commander of the Anwan Weiping Division."

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhao Yiyuan immediately showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.

"I have heard of your name for a long time. I have heard of your name for a long time. When we were in high school, we learned about the Anwan 57 Incident!

Commander Wang, you are a real hero! "

After exclaiming in praise, the boy immediately showed a look of admiration on his face.

"Haha~ No, no, that was over 20 years ago."

Although these are all old stories, it still feels good to be flattered by the inheritor of the mythical beast.

"Please sit down, please sit down, classmate Zhao."

He asked the young man to sit down immediately, and without beating around the bush, Chief Yu spoke directly:

"Student Zhao, I secretly called you here this time to ask about the situation on the third floor of the cave.

You must have seen Articuno, right?"

The sudden and direct question made Zhao Yiyuan involuntarily reveal a look of shock on his face.

He didn't expect that he would be exposed so quickly this time.

Didn’t Emperor Yan hide very well that time?

Could it be that the instrument in the backpack has a monitoring function? ?

As if noticing the boy's confusion, Li Guoping next to him laughed.

"Don't guess. We don't have any monitoring or video equipment installed on any of you candidates."

"Real secret places like underwater caves do not go through a long period of natural evolution, and the natural rules inside are obviously different from those outside.

Not to mention, we haven't occupied this area yet, and that person is still inside.

It is simply impossible to use monitoring and recording equipment.

The military has spent a lot of money to be able to locate it. "

As he spoke, Li Guoping took out an emergency communicator.

"The cost of this one alone is more than 100,000."

"What, this thing is worth a hundred thousand?"

Obviously, Zhao Yiyuan was shocked by the price.

You have to know that mobile phones can still be used normally in the city, so the smartphone market still exists and has developed to the same level as in his previous life.

The latest Firefox brand mobile phone still costs more than 10,000 yuan!

And this phone, which is as big as a brick and can only communicate using radio waves, can't even make a single call at 100,000.

"Of course, if you went to the Military University, you would know how many precious materials are used in this communicator."

Without dwelling on this topic any further, Chief Yu coughed and said soothingly:

"Don't be nervous, Yiyuan-san."

"Why do you think your college entrance examination was suddenly arranged here?"

"And you've been to the third floor, so you should have seen traces of battle there."

“So, we have known about the existence of Articuno for a long time.

Even the fact that you deliberately set up a third-level bonus item in your assessment is the result of our negotiation with Articuno."

"It needs a talented person to help it accomplish its mission, and our military hopes to get its help.

That’s why we have this assessment.”

This confirmed Zhao Yiyuan's guess.

Thinking of the white cloths with names written on them in the square of the building, and even some stretchers without bodies on them, he couldn't help but clench his hands and asked in a trembling voice:

"So, half of us test takers died because of this!"

This silenced all three of them.

"Yes, that's why they died."

The youngest, Wang Gang, admitted it without hesitation.

“But that’s because none of our military personnel meet Articuno’s requirements.

Before you arrived on the island, a professional division commander, elite brigade commanders, and no less than twenty regiment commanders died on Qingyan Island. In addition, there were at least tens of thousands of other middle and lower-level officers and even ordinary soldiers who died.

The military's casualties are far greater than you think."

These words left the boy, who was about to argue, speechless.

After a long time, he said:

"Then why are you sure it's me? There are obviously many better schools behind, and the top students with strong abilities have entered the third level."

How can you be sure it was him if there was no surveillance?

Is it just because he arrived first?

In response, Chief Yu smiled and took out a photo. The photo showed the elite, oversized bronze bell.

"It told us."

"Student Yiyuan, you should be familiar with this too."

"Now, you believe that what we just said is true.

Articuno hopes that you can grow faster, so he is also happy to reveal the news of the successor to us."

"Ah."

After nodding and realizing that it was Articuno who revealed his identity, Zhao Yiyuan relaxed.

"What do you need me to cooperate with? I will do my best."

This attitude made the three of them very satisfied, and their faces became even more amiable.

“Don’t worry, the country and the alliance will not let you suffer.

I have found out before that Yiyuan, you were accidentally involved in an illusory secret realm while in school, and then obtained a rock-related inheritance.

This time is actually similar to that time. We hope that you will trust the military and the alliance and will never let the citizens suffer."

"it is good!"

Now that things have come to this and the person is sitting here, the boy knows that he only has one choice, which is to cooperate.

"However, three leaders, I didn't gain anything. It was actually my spirit, Sandslash, who was transformed."

As he said that, Zhao Yiyuan touched his waist, and with a "swish", the yawning Sandshrew appeared on the ground.

"Kujia~(￣o￣).zZ"

Generally, when they need to stay in the ball for a long time, Zhao Yiyuan will tell them in advance, so Sandslash and Rattata will sleep in the ball in this situation.

"Chuanshan King, come over and say hello to the three leaders."

"Kuga??"

At this moment, Bing Shushu seemed like a child who was still sleeping in. Then, he was pulled up by his parents to meet unfamiliar relatives. He rubbed his eyes with his paws and showed an awkward but polite smile on his face.

"Haha, hello, Sandsand King."

As trainers holding important positions in coastal cities, the three are naturally familiar with Ice and Water-type Pokémon, and their vision is very sharp.

It is obvious at first glance that this Sandsand King is very good and has truly reached an outstanding level.

"Yiyuan, please tell me about your experience on the third floor of the underwater cave."

"it is good."

After agreeing, the boy began to speak.

"At that time, I was being chased by a group of rumbling stones, and the leader blew himself up. By chance, I fell to the third floor, where I met many powerful...

Articuno talked to me and said that it couldn't hold on for much longer, so...

Besides that, the mission it gave me was to go to the Ultimate Cave to find the Sea God Lugia after I became strong.

Then it passed some of its power to the sandshrew, which also allowed it to evolve successfully."

It was described in great detail, nine parts true and one part false.

Zhao Yiyuan only concealed the matter of the Ice God's Feather. After all, it was an incomplete priesthood, and he was still a little worried.

"Ah."

"it is good."

After listening, the three nodded.

There is nothing wrong with the logic, and it is basically the same as the trajectory they located.

It’s a pity that the current Chuanshan King is too weak, and the unlocked inheritance is extremely limited, so it is of little value to them.

And he did not inherit the ice-type training.

But no matter what, this is also a heritage that maintains the friendship between the mythical beasts.

Furthermore, the developed Sandslash is also a Pokémon with great potential. According to their estimation, with elite level as the foundation, if it is trained well, it has a great chance of reaching a gym.

By then, when I become stronger, maybe I will be able to unlock some important knowledge.

So it is better to incorporate it into your own system.

Thinking of this, Li Guoping glanced at the old leader next to him and said:

"We roughly understand the situation."

"Student Yiyuan, you just took the college entrance examination.

We have already calculated our results, and they are among the best in the country, but not to the point where famous universities are offering conditions to recruit us.

You should be the top scholar in Anping City, not even the top scholar in the province."

"Well, I am very satisfied with this result."

Zhao Yiyuan was not surprised by this ranking.

In fact, if he wanted, he could get a perfect score in the practical test, and the same goes for the cultural test.

In this way, there is a great chance that he will become the top scholar in not only the province but also the country.

But after thinking about it, I decided to keep it a secret.

The city's top student is already qualified enough to enter any university in the country, and the school and the city will definitely give a generous reward.

A tree that stands out in the forest will be blown away by the wind.

No background at all, even worse than an ordinary family!

In terms of academic subjects, one can say that one has worked hard and has a bright talent, but how do one explain the cultivation and actual combat of elves?

With just that little bit of funding from the school, they were able to surpass countless second-generation wealthy families across the country?

No one is a fool!

So it's not necessary.

"Have you decided where to go to college?"

"Not yet~ It should be in my province or a few provinces next door. I don't want to be too far away."

As soon as these words came out, Li Guoping and Wang Gang both smiled and asked:

“Then why don’t you come to our military university? Sujiang Military University is also one of the top universities in the country.

Chief Yu is also an honorary professor there, you can become his disciple.”

The old man nodded. If the student was forced to come to the military university, he would not agree. But if the student wanted to come, there was no reason to do so.

put one's oar in.

"Sujiang University of Technology..."

This school was indeed one of his alternatives, not to mention that there was a big shot in the military who could be listed as one of them.

"Yes."

"Besides this, our military can make the decision to waive your tuition and fees for four years of college.

I will also give you another million in scholarship.

Don't complain that it's too little. This breaks the tradition of the Military Engineering University. Our military-affiliated university has never given anyone a free lunch."

One million is indeed not a lot.

You should know that Sandshrew is now at the intermediate level, so the auxiliary training resources he uses - energy crystals, also need to be at the intermediate level.

The price of an intermediate energy crystal is 3 Alliance coins, and 100 million is only enough for King Chuanshan to practice for a month.

Of course, this is just an analogy. With the Ice God's Feather, before reaching the elite level, Sandslash has enough energy to absorb and does not need the assistance of additional energy crystals.

As for the waived tuition and miscellaneous fees, it is a small amount of money, estimated to be at most 200,000 yuan for four years.

"Then can I use the school's training room for free?"

After hesitating for a while, Zhao Yiyuan asked carefully.

After all, training is the basis for him to help the elves become stronger!

Once you leave high school, if there is no free training room to use, the expense will be absolutely huge.

This small request made the three of them stunned.

Unexpectedly, the boy only wanted to use the training room for free, and they had to pay extra money!

So I agreed without thinking.

"That's no problem. It's just a training room. What's the problem with giving it to you for free~"
