A spirit descends, Gardevoir is my childhood friend?

Amidst the gasps and astonishment of the crowd, Lin Xiaolin returned to the group, and the group began to slowly disband.

Other students who had never seen Lin Xiaolin before crowded around, eager to catch a glimpse of her.

"You're something else!" Yan Fan exclaimed in surprise as he held the banner.

Back in the training room, Lin Xiaolin took out his phone to check and found that he had indeed become a [C] level researcher, and his association points had reached 580 million.

Lin Xiaolin's breath hitched. She thought she had miscounted. She counted again, and the 7 digits were correct. She checked them.

The reward for an A-level research report is 500 million association points, and for a C-level research report it is 50 association points, plus the 10 points he received from the college league and the 10 points he had spent before.

Lin Xiaolin suddenly felt like he was floating on air, and Yan Fan, who was next to him, also leaned over to look at him when he saw his expression.

"Holy crap, five million!" Yan Fan exclaimed in surprise. Qin Lele and the others also came over to take a look after hearing this.

All four of them called him "Big Boss Dog," but in the end, Lin Xiaolin said he would treat them to a meal during the holidays, and they nodded in satisfaction and left.

The rest of the group returned to their normal lives, as if Lin Xiaolin's identity as a researcher had not caused her any discomfort.

Tang Tian finally felt relieved, as he had been worried every day that his promising young talent would grow legs and run away.

Finally, the day of the holiday arrived, and Lin Xiaolin packed the things she wanted to take back home.

"Xiao Lin, I'll treat you to lunch tomorrow." Wan Qiao greeted Lin Xiao Lin at the door of his dormitory and then ran out.

"Something's not right with you, kid. Something's up." Yan Fan crept closer.

The others were also filled with gossip, and they pricked up their ears to eavesdrop. Even Xiao Lan, who was folding clothes for Lin Xiaolin in the bedroom, had her ears twitching.

"Nothing much, it's just that I taught her and she treated me to a meal. By the way, I'll treat you guys to dinner tomorrow night, I'll send you a message then."

With that, Lin Xiaolin slung her backpack over her shoulder and left, with Xiao Lan following behind, carrying her clothes.

Lin Xiaolin has grown very fast recently, and these clothes are a bit too small for him. Xiao Lan has taken all of these clothes out to donate.

The driver from the dojo came to pick up Lin Xiaolin.

When Lin Xiaolin got home, she was surprised to find everyone in the house sitting on the sofa, including her usually busy uncle.

Everyone in the family was present except for the two little ones who are still in school.

"Mom and Dad, Grandpa and Grandma, Uncle and Aunt, why are you all here?" Lin Xiaolin called out as she changed her shoes.

"How could we not know about the big things you've done?" Lin's father looked at Lin Xiaolin with a grin.

Lin Xiaolin touched her nose. Well, it seems her family already knows she's a researcher. She was hoping to give them a surprise.

"Quickly show the certificate to Mom."

After Lin Xiaolin sat down on the sofa, her mother spoke first, and Lin Xiaolin took out her researcher certificate from her pocket.

As a result, Lin's mother immediately took a picture of the certificate and posted it on her WeChat Moments.

Then everyone in the family took turns receiving the certificates and admiring them.

"Yeah, let's make something nice tonight. I'm happy today, so let's have a drink together, Dahai and Xiaoqi."

My grandfather held the certificate of a Level C researcher with great delight.

"Oh, right, and this too." Lin Xiaolin remembered something and took out the brocade banner.

The moment the banner appeared, my grandfather gasped.

"Did the champion really write these words for you personally?" Grandpa carefully accepted the banner.

"Uh, I don't know either. The president of the research association gave it to me." Lin Xiaolin shrugged.

"Xiao Liu, take this and hang it up, in the living room!"

As soon as Grandpa called out, Aunt Liu came over and hung the banner in the center of the living room so that anyone who came in could see it immediately.

"Great! Hahaha!" Grandpa seemed genuinely happy today.

That evening, Lin's father and uncle drank quite a bit with his grandfather, who couldn't stop smiling all day.

After dinner, Lin's father, his face flushed from drinking, entered Lin Xiaolin's room.

"By the way, Xiao Lin, your Grandpa Ye wants to see you in a while. When you have a holiday, come with me to Longdu."

"Okay." Lin Xiaolin nodded, a little puzzled.

The next day was just like any other day. Normally, if something like this happened, the media would be going crazy with news about it, but Lin Xiaolin didn't react at all.

It must have been suppressed by someone again; someone doesn't want Lin Xiaolin to become too famous.

Lin Xiaolin didn't care much. Anyway, she didn't care about reputation, as long as she had money.

At noon, Wanqiao called him and sent him the address for lunch.

The location was a place that Lin Xiaolin was quite familiar with, which turned out to be the small restaurant where Lin Xiaolin had first done an association commission.

The appearance of the commercial vehicle attracted the attention of many people around.

Lin Xiaolin got out of the car and went straight into the restaurant, while the driver, Lin Xiaolin, told him to go back first.

The restaurant was still doing very well, and the tables were almost full. When Lin Xiaolin arrived, the first thing she saw was Wanqiao, who was wearing an apron and carrying dishes.

Lin Xiaolin sat down at an empty table.

Wanqiao also saw Lin Xiaolin. After serving the dishes, she went to the back kitchen, took off her apron, and walked up to Lin Xiaolin.

"What would you like to eat? I'll ask my mom to cook for you. She's a great cook." Wanqiao handed Lin Xiaolin a menu.

Lin Xiaolin casually ordered a few dishes and then returned the menu to Wanqiao.

Unexpectedly, this aunt was actually Wanqiao's mother. Lin Xiaolin looked around curiously.

A moment later, Wanqiao came up with the dishes.

"Uh, our place is rather basic," Wanqiao said somewhat embarrassedly.

"It's alright, I've been here once before, and Auntie's cooking is delicious," Lin Xiaolin said with a smile, which aroused Wanqiao's curiosity.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art.

Chapter 112 Fairy Queen

The two ate and chatted. After a while, the aunt came out of the kitchen and immediately saw Lin Xiaolin and Wanqiao.

"It's you, little classmate! I thought Wanqiao was talking about someone else." The aunt greeted him warmly.

"Yes, what a coincidence! Auntie must have been busy for a long time. Let's have dinner together," Lin Xiaolin said politely.

The three of them ate and chatted. Soon after, some guests left. Originally, Wanqiao's mother wanted to clean up, but Wanqiao told her mother to sit down and then cleaned up herself.

"Wanqiao has been a sensible child since she was little. Her father passed away when she was young, and it took me so many years to raise her." Wanqiao's mother said with a smile as she watched Wanqiao's back.

Lin Xiaolin simply listened without interrupting.

"She really wanted to be a trainer, but she was too sensible and refused to go because of her family's situation. I had to keep her going until she agreed."

"I heard from Wanqiao that you've been very good to her and helped her a lot at school. Thank you so much, young man," Wanqiao's mother said with a smile.

"Of course, we're all classmates."

After lunch, Lin Xiaolin said goodbye to Wanqiao and left.

I took a taxi back to the dojo. I've been quite busy lately. I need to treat Yan Fan and the others to dinner tonight, and I also need to think about Ugly Fish. Now that I've qualified for the researcher competition, I need to start preparing.

It's almost October now, and there are still two months until the Researcher Competition. I need to figure out Milotic's evolution method in these two months.

However, Milotic's evolutionary path alone shouldn't cause much of a stir in the Researcher Competition; the main goal is to find traces of Azure Blade Demon.

If we can pull out the Azure Flame Blade Ghost at the tournament, I wonder if it will cause a sensation. After all, Fengdu is a famous home of fire-type spirits.

Lying on the sofa, I checked my phone for recent news. Since I had nothing else to do, I figured I might as well see what headlines were trending in China.

While browsing Baidu, Lin Xiaolin actually came across a title that interested her.

A mysterious new species of powerful Pokémon has been discovered near the Blue Mist Nature Reserve.

Lin Xiaolin clicked on it casually and saw a blurry picture. The picture was surrounded by blue mist, which greatly affected the vision. There was a pink and white figure in the blue mist.

The figure was somewhat blurry, and overall it looked a bit like a small airplane.

"Latias?" Lin Xiaolin exclaimed in surprise, not expecting that even a mythical beast could be photographed.

Below the picture is the photographer's own account:

I'm a photography enthusiast who enjoys taking pictures of Pokémon in various nature reserves. I captured this Pokémon by chance one day, and I've searched the Pokédex countless times but haven't found anything similar. It must be a new species. I hope the official Pokédex can check if they have this type of Pokémon.

Before I could finish reading it, the post suddenly disappeared; it had been deleted.

The post was deleted in about ten minutes, and only a few people could see it. Lin Xiaolin just happened to see it.

Lin Xiaolin stroked his chin thoughtfully. It seemed that the authorities had some knowledge of the mythical beasts in these nature reserves, but they couldn't let ordinary people know.

I took out my phone again to search for the Blue Mist Nature Reserve.

The Blue Mist Nature Reserve is a protected area near the city of Divergent, named for the blue mist that fills the area every morning and evening.

The majority of Pokémon in the Blue Mist Reserve are Psychic-type Pokémon, and most of them originate there.

After reading it, Lin Xiaolin let out another long sigh. Oh well, she'd read it later. Anyway, she knew she'd definitely have to make a trip to the Eight Great Capitals eventually.
