Chapter 42 The Meat Pigeon of the Kingdom of Locke
Chapter 42 The Meat Pigeon of the Kingdom of Locke
After thinking for a long time, Lin Chong decided to be honest with Li Weize: "Coach, actually I'm quite good at 3-on-3..."
He recounted his experience working part-time at the Xianzhong Dojo, indicating that he was actually quite familiar with playing round six every few days.
However, Li Weize simply looked at him quietly before speaking.
"The opponents you encounter while working part-time at the dojo are almost all nobodies. That doesn't mean anything. It's like a middle school student in kindergarten; he'll naturally think he's a genius."
It seems that Li Weize mistook him for an arrogant and ignorant young man.
Lin Chong couldn't help but feel ashamed. What the other person said made a lot of sense, but he was indeed a legitimate "intermediate professional trainer," only he didn't have a license issued by the Federation...
Which professional trainer doesn't do 3v3 and 6v6 battles? That's their main job!
In order to avoid being forced by Li Weize to learn the knowledge that he had already fully mastered, Lin Chong had no choice but to say helplessly.
"Why don't you test me?"
"That's exactly what I was thinking." Li Weize snapped his fingers, and a laptop suddenly floated up from the next table, as if lifted by an invisible force, and was placed in front of Lin Chong.
"What's this?" Lin Chong asked, somewhat surprised. "A Ghost-type Pokémon, with the ability to see ghosts?"
Li Weize glanced at him with slight surprise. In the past, when freshmen saw this move of his, they would be quite frightened.
Lin Chong was quite bold; not only was he unafraid, but he also immediately recognized which spirit it was.
"It seems you have a good grasp of the knowledge about Pokémon," he praised, then opened his laptop and worked on it for a few minutes.
When Li Weize flipped the laptop screen, a pixelated interface, resembling a game homepage, appeared before Lin Chong's eyes.
Li Weize explained: "This is the latest battle simulator developed by the Federal Research Institute, which includes all the Pokémon that humans have discovered and understood so far."
"Players can hone their combat skills through virtual battles. Give it a try."
Lin Chong became interested; he could actually play a pixelated version of "Roco Kingdom World" in this world?
But after trying it out for a few minutes, he discovered that the gameplay of this "simulator" was completely different from that of "Roco Kingdom World".
There's no open-world capture or riding system; all you get is a flat, level-based interface where you acquire new Pokémon and moves by defeating NPCs.
During the adventure, there are rest stops and shops where players can replenish their stamina and combat power, making it a veritable "Rogue Kingdom Rogue Version"!
Li Weize explained a few key points about the simulator to Lin Chong, then said he had to go and get busy.
Lin Chong's game records are all saved on the computer. After he finishes his work, Li Weize will decide for himself whether the other party needs to learn about "three-on-three" related knowledge.
As the office door opened and closed, Lin Chong, sitting alone in front of the computer, felt a surge of excitement.
He entered the first level with "DuckJiJi", the initial Pokémon randomly selected by the system.
After a burst of rousing music, the pixel-art battle interface appeared.

Meanwhile, Li Weize, having temporarily said goodbye to Lin Chong, walked up the teaching building and arrived at the principal's office.
He tapped lightly on the door frame with his fingers, and after hearing a "Come in," he pushed the door open and walked in.
At that time, Principal Mudu was sitting behind his desk processing documents when he saw Li Weize and smiled.
"Have you met Lin Chong?"
"I've seen him."
"How are you feeling?"
Li Weize pulled up a chair and sat down. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Very arrogant."
The principal became interested: "How so?"
Li Weize then recounted his conversation with Lin Chong. When the principal heard that he had used the "battle simulator" as a standard to evaluate Lin Chong, he laughed out loud.
"You're really mean. That simulator was developed specifically for professional trainers, and you're using it to test kids. That's really unfair."
Li Weize was already used to this unreliable principal, and said seriously, "I have carefully watched his college entrance examination match video. He is a talent."
"If he can maintain the level of skill and intuition he displays in three-on-three or even six-on-six games, and then he has a few excellent Pokémon."
"We really have a chance to be promoted to the top tier in this year's league competition!"
The principal grunted in agreement and asked, "What if he can't maintain that?"
Li Weize said calmly, "That's normal."
While the two were chatting, Lin Chong, who was diligently working on the challenge in the office, encountered trouble.
"Damn it, this simulator is so crude! Not only is the move pool incomplete, but they also haven't implemented abilities. It's so much less fun!"
Staring at the pixelated sprites dancing on the screen, Lin Chong's face was full of regret.
Since humans and elves have only been in contact for a little over a century, many of the elves' secrets have yet to be discovered by humans.
For example, each Pokémon has a unique "trait," or a special evolutionary form for some Pokémon, as well as the definition and solutions for polluting Pokémon...
Every year, news of the birth of "unknown spirits" can be heard from all over the world. Currently, humans have only developed less than 10% of the spirits.
This also means that this "battle simulator," lacking certain elements, just doesn't feel quite right no matter how you play it...
Just as Lin Chong was sighing with regret, the office door was suddenly pushed open.
The person who arrived was not Li Weize, but a girl in uniform with a high ponytail.
"Coach Li, excuse me... um?"
The girl exchanged a glance with Lin Chong, who replied, "Coach Li isn't here; he just went out."
The girl nodded and was about to turn and leave, but she suddenly stopped when her hand touched the doorknob.
She turned sharply to look at Lin Chong, exclaiming in surprise, "You're that Meowth trainer!"
Lin Chong was taken aback. He could actually run into his fans here? But what was this guy who couldn't even remember his name?
He hesitated before greeting her, and the girl, noticing his confusion, began to explain.
It turns out she was a second-year student at Mudu Academy and one of the reserve players for the academy team. A few days ago, Li Weize showed them a video of Lin Chong's match against Jiang Qianxun.
The girl ran over excitedly, saying, "You and Meow Meow are amazing! You managed to fight the demon wolf for so long!"
"I'd heard before that you might be coming to Mudu, but I thought it was just a rumor. I didn't expect it to be true!"
The girl was very enthusiastic, and Lin Chong didn't put on a cold face. He directed the pixel sprites while chatting with her.
Only then did the girl realize what Lin Chong was doing. She seemed to recall some painful memory and cried out in distress, clutching her head.
"Ah, so you were also made to play this simulator by the coach?"
"I've been playing all week, but I still can't reach his requirement of 1000 points. My highest score is only 600..."
As she spoke, she leaned closer to the screen, wanting to see Lin Chong's score, but she froze after just one glance.
The score bar in the upper right corner of the screen showed: 1100 points.
