I, the Pokémon Master, now resign

On the other side....

"Ding ding ding~~!!"

Dawu's movements are very skilled, just when Bai Chen worked hard to mine about ten crystal mines, Dawu has already dug out a small area of ​​crystal mines.

"Your practice is far from enough. At this speed, the amount of collection that can be completed in one day may take three or four days to complete."

After finally finding such an opportunity to be proud, Dawu turned around to show off to Bai Chen without hesitation.

"As long as you have a little bit of pride, you won't be able to compare with me."

Feeling a little sore in his arm, Bai Chen put down the iron pick in his hand, rubbed his arm and responded angrily.

He didn't feel much when he didn't dig before, but now when Bai Chen really did it himself, he began to feel that this win-win situation is still more inclined to Piaotai's side. Helping them mine, this saves them more than a little bit of trouble.

Especially the development of the mining area here and the discovery of the underground passage, these two achievements alone are completely worth the sum of all the prizes added up.

Dawu, who stopped at the same time as Bai Chen, seemed to have seen Bai Chen's heart, shrugged his shoulders casually and said, "This kind of event must be beneficial to the organizer~ If you just think about what both parties get, you will fall into a trap." Is your mind deadlocked?"

Dawu said so and sighed.

"It's like when you go to a buffet, don't you want to eat back your money? Isn't it usually for more and more free choices to go to that kind of place?"

"Although I think there is a subtle difference between these two things."

Of course, Bai Chen also understands this truth. Although he explained it clearly, he always felt that it was a small loss. It would be great if he could take back all the ores he mined, but the rules have already stated that the ores they mined The ultimate ownership is still on the black gold mining area.

Perhaps this is why Piaotai set up a participation award after the basic ten rewards.

Sure enough, it is still rich in experience.

Bai Chen couldn't help but think so.

"How? Do you want to continue? Or take a break?"

Seeing that Bai Chen seemed to have no intention of continuing to mine crystal mines, Dawu asked this question.

"You go on first, I'll go inside and have a look, maybe there will be something interesting~ Anyway, I found this place, and the things I want should be prepared for me. If you want to mine, forget it, sure enough Not suitable for me."

Bai Chen still couldn't stick to this long, boring and unenthusiastic job, just like approving documents in the alliance office.

Compared to myself, only those who love rocks like Dawu can persist, after all, he has already screamed five or six times in such a short period of time.

"is it?"

Dawu waved his hands regretfully. Although he felt a little pity that Bai Chen couldn't understand the beauty of mining, he didn't say anything in the end. Instead, he followed Bai Chen's suggestion and continued to dig ore.

.......

522 The Expedition Continuation, the Unknown Cave

Far away from Dawu, Bai Chen began to walk aimlessly in the mine.

As a Pokémon trainer, or even an adventurer by nature, it is really difficult for Bai Chen to behave as leisurely outside as in Random Town, especially in such a thousand-year-old mine.

Whether it is in novels, comics, or film and television dramas, generally such ancient places should be buried with treasures and the like, but Bai Chen is not a child now, so he naturally does not believe in so-called treasures.But although there will be no treasures, there should still be some things from ancient times, right?

Whether it's the kind of murals in the iceberg ruins or the fossils hidden deep underground, the probability of these things existing should be relatively high.

"It's rare to come to this kind of place and still think about mining. What a waste..."

With the help of the headlamp and the crystal mine, Bai Chen could not see the road clearly, at least it was not difficult to walk normally in such a relatively dark mine.

After crossing a few turnings, the crystal mine has disappeared, replaced by some shiny black stones. Bai Chen doesn't know what these ores are called, but at least they are not in the scoring manual. It should be either a very rare thing, or a relatively bad street thing.

Thinking of this, Bai Chen simply knelt down and picked a few pieces and threw them into his backpack. What if it was something good?

"But is that all there is to it?"

After walking around for a short distance, Bai Chen still didn't find anything strange or interesting. In the end, even though he was one thousand meters underground, this place was just an ordinary mining area after all.

Let's go back.

Feeling that the backpack had become a bit heavy, Bai Chen thought about it, and leaned the backpack against the rock wall next to him, preparing to put in the remaining ore that he had just mined on the ground. At this time——

"click~"

When Bai Chen leaned his backpack against the rock wall in front, a clear and clear voice suddenly came out.

This is not the sound of any mechanism being activated, it is just the sound of the collision between two objects, and...Although Bai Chen's backpack is filled with various heavy ores, this collision sound is still a bit strange .

The collision of two solid objects should produce a dull sound, but right now...

"Bang bang ~ bang bang~~"

As if to prove his conjecture, Bai Chen put down his backpack and tapped the stone wall in front of him with the back of his hand.

One after another, the clear and clear voices just like before resounded in the cave, and the ending was already obvious.

"empty?"

Bai Chen's brows were tightly furrowed at this moment, originally he only came here half-jokingly to look around, if he really wanted to find something special here, he would have given Darkley a long time ago. Called out, instead of choosing to run around like a headless chicken by myself.

And now his messing around really turned out something, so the nature of the whole thing will be different.

What's in it?The same ore as outside?Or a relic of 6000 million years?Or is it a treasure that appears in various legends?

No matter what it is, there is a need to find out here.

Bai Chen turned around, was stunned for a moment, then opened the backpack, took out a lot of ore from it, held it in his arms, and threw the ore on the ground as he walked.

In this way, it is absolutely impossible to get lost!Although there were not many turning points from where Dawu was, Bai Chen still chose to do so just in case.

........

"k~k~"

"Well...so that's the case...."

After Bai Chen left for less than ten minutes, he came back here again, but this time he was accompanied by Dawu and the giant golden monster.

"It's possible, as you say, that there's a large void behind this wall, but it's also possible that it's just a small patch of vacancy that happened to be left by the movement of the earth's crust, at least by knocking. It’s impossible to tell how much space there is inside.”

Originally, Dawu was still happily mining over there, but at this moment, Bai Chen came over suddenly and told him that the other end of the underground passage might have a hidden hole. After hearing about this, Dawu even threw away the mine in his hand. After getting down, he followed Bai Chen here without taking the backpack, but it turned out that this place was not what he imagined.

"But at least it's possible, isn't it?" Seeing that Dawu gave up hope so quickly, Bai Chen suddenly said with some dissatisfaction.

"Of course it is possible, but crisis and opportunity coexist."

Dawu said with a sigh.

As a lover of rocks and adventures, Dawu is naturally impossible to be frightened by the dangers hidden in the cave. If you don't even have the guts, don't say you are a champion. Dawu is not even suitable for magic The baby trainer called himself.

But Dawu's attitude at this moment clearly shows that what he is worried about is not the danger from the hidden cave, but...

"Are you worried that breaking through here will cause this place to collapse? Is it the same as above?"

"Hmm~"

Dawu closed his eyes, raised his voice, and hummed casually.

"But there are some differences between the two sides~ We opened up the mine on the top floor before. Even if it collapses, we can escape easily, but if it is here."

"So it's because I didn't think carefully."

After being reminded by Dawu, Bai Chen suddenly remembered where they were now.

Even in the mining area on the first floor, the Monarch Snake did not dare to use all its strength to attack the boulder, for fear that it would cause the mining area to collapse and cause major incidents. Now that they are in a thousand meters underground, it is naturally even more impossible to use brute force To break this stone wall.

If there is a collapse in this kind of place, then you will really want to escape but you will not be able to escape.

"Oh, there's no other way. Although it's a pity, it's the only way to forget it..."

Even though he already knew the pros and cons of it, Bai Chen still felt a little pity, after all, no one knew what was inside, the unknown and the unowned were always the best.

"Forget it?" Hearing what Bai Chen said, Dawu asked in a puzzled way: "How can it just be forgotten?! What if there are some precious stones inside?"

"what???"

Bai Chen had question marks all over his head.

Didn't you say these words yourself?How come you don't recognize it now?

Bai Chen originally wanted to ask him this question, but before Bai Chen could say what he wanted to ask, Dawu snapped his fingers lightly, and said flatly, "Mental thoughts."

"???"

It all happened so suddenly, Bai Chen didn't even make any preparations when he heard the sound of breaking from the wall behind him.

Turning his head, just as he thought, the inside of the wall is hollow, and there is nothing inside, just a narrow passage connecting the inside and outside.

"You are..."

"As long as you don't attack on a large scale, it's fine~ Of course you can't use the same method as above to open the way here, not to mention that the walls are not thick, so the giant gold monster can easily handle it by itself, right?"

"Me~"

The giant gold monster replied with a confident expression as if it was a matter of course.

At this point, Bai Chen didn't know what to say to express his current thoughts.To blame...he called Dawu over again; to praise...just as he himself said, if they fail here, the consequences will be beyond their ability.

But if it's consequentialism....

"Oh, that's it."

In the end, Bai Chen just sighed and shook his head, as long as the ending is good anyway.Looking at the current situation, the giant metal monster can indeed handle it alone. There is a thick enough rock wall above the broken rock to support the entire wall, so the accident they imagined at the beginning should not happen. That's right.

"Of course~ Since there is a possibility of exploration, you can't give up. If you have lost even the thought of taking risks, wouldn't you be the same as those old men at the top of the alliance?"

"Your words are really rude. If they heard it, you must have lost your job change this time."

Dawu and Baichen just chatted with each other sentence by sentence, maybe it was because they really felt something, or maybe it was just to not feel lonely in such a dark and lonely space.

The figure of the giant metal monster can't pass through this narrow tunnel, so it can only stay outside and use its mental force to control everything in the passage to prevent accidents, but the figure can barely pass through Bai Chen and Dawu here. , but one after the other, they bent sideways and moved forward slowly.

"By the way, have you ever encountered a similar scene when you were traveling?"

This road is very long, so long that Bai Chen has to keep looking for topics to distract himself.

"If it's a mine, of course I've been there many times, but I've never encountered such a thing as searching for a treasure that no one has experienced in a place thousands of meters underground..."

It was a bit difficult to move forward, even Dawu, who was very accustomed to advancing in this kind of terrain, already felt a little sore and backache, but even so, he was still very excited in his heart.

This is a once-in-a-century opportunity, if there is anything special to discover here......

Don't say you resigned!So what if he was the champion for a few more years?Compared with the troubles brought to him by becoming a champion, it must be that the excitement and excitement brought to him by the current adventure are much stronger. This strong sense of excitement is enough to sweep away his past boredom empty.

Although he hasn't had many boring scenes since he took office, most of the time it's just him making things difficult for himself, just like Bai Chen back then.

The two had their own thoughts, and the time gradually passed in such a boring conversation. After nearly 5 minutes, the two finally walked out from the narrow entrance. Not only the vision, but also the body and mind Relaxed as the surrounding environment changed.

"Hmm~~ I'm so exhausted, I finally don't have to bend over..."

After finally escaping from the narrow passage, Bai Chen couldn't help stretching his body, and said happily.

If it took two or three minutes longer to pass through that passage, Bai Chen might have already lay down in it. Although he is more confident in his physical strength, the passage that tests the support of his back is not his. Long term.

"It's pitch black."

Different from Bai Chen's focus, Dawu began to look at the surrounding environment immediately after he came out of the corridor.

Different from the outside, there is no luminous ore here, let alone ore. After Dawu scanned the nearby ground with his headlight, he found that there was nothing here at all.

No ore, no life, and no sign of anything else.

It's just an empty area.

"It seems that reality is not as colorful as movies and TV dramas~ Generally speaking, even if you don't encounter treasures, wouldn't you encounter some dangers in this kind of place?"

"Thank you so much for your crow's mouth. If there is any danger in the future, I will be the first to throw you there as bait."

Bai Chen's mouth twitched inadvertently.

Danger?

Just kidding, I have encountered more dangers. When I was traveling, it seemed like God was against me. Every time I came to such a place, I would definitely encounter dangers and troubles. Over time, he himself developed some PTSD.

And since he resigned and became a trainer, Bai Chen hasn't encountered any unexpected situation similar to that in the past for a long time.Although I also met Regiece and Darkley during the trip, I had some mental preparations at those times, so that I wouldn't be caught off guard like before.

"Hahaha~"

Dawu smiled disapprovingly.

Just kidding, although it is not a thousand meters underground, he has encountered too many closed caves like this, but he has not encountered any danger in such a place for so long.

You know, if there are more dangerous Pokémon inhabiting this kind of place, they will have been attacked when they first came to the cave. After all, there is no sound here all year round. Conversations should not be too loud compared to the surrounding environment.

And since they have been out for so long and have not encountered any danger, it means that there are no Pokmon here, at least there are no dangerous Pokmon with a strong sense of territory here.
