Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

"Do you even consider your fire-breathing dragon a dragon?"

Upon seeing this, Lin Xuan immediately posed a thought-provoking question: he seriously doubted whether the contestant's next Pokémon might be a Gyarados.

High Emotional Intelligence: A Tribute to the Dragon-Riding Predecessor, the Dodo Bird

Low emotional intelligence: I can't collect enough Dragon-type Pokémon, so let's just leave it at that.

Then there was the Blissey trainer's competition. She had previously used a Blissey to violently overwhelm her opponent, and in this competition, we also saw several Pokémon in her back row: Clefairy, Togekiss, and Bellossom.

Relatively speaking, the wins were all relatively easy.

Alright guys, that concludes our commentary for today. See you at the next match!

After finishing his commentary on the last match, Lin Xuan chose the "lightning-fast end" method, which had the most comments on the screen.

"Want to eat? I heard there's a good restaurant nearby. I'm leaving tomorrow anyway, so it's on me," Song Chen said to Lin Xuan with a smile.

"Oh, I really can't accept this!"

Lin Xuan waved her hand and then shouted outside.

"Little one! Ibu! Time to head out for a big meal, someone's treating!"

"Buy?"

"Dandan!"

The two little ones, who had been unable to be roused by Lin Xuan no matter what she said, immediately dropped their controllers and appeared at the door of the room upon hearing that there was a big meal.

Song Chen was speechless. Does this look like you're embarrassed?

However, the main reason he invited Lin Xuan out to dinner was that he wanted to talk to him about something.

Upon arriving at the restaurant and entering the pre-arranged private room, Eevee and Little Point sat on the high chairs reserved for Pokémon, holding knives and forks, waiting for the food to be served, ready to dig in at any moment. Meanwhile, Song Chen used the time while waiting for the food to arrive to talk to Lin Xuan beside him.

"I went to ask my senior about the dojo stuff I just told you about."

"What did he say?" Lin Xuan picked up a drink from the side, took a sip, and looked at Song Chen curiously.

"He first expressed his sincere sympathy for my act of revealing the information to you."

Song Chen said expressionlessly, "Simply put, I got roasted. Originally, Zhong Ming wanted to keep his itinerary a secret and then give Lin Xuan a huge shock when they arrived at their destination, but Song Chen, with her big mouth, directly revealed the plan."

"Pfft~"

Lin Xuan almost vomited up the drink she had just drunk.

"Cough cough cough cough! So what else did he say?"

Lin Xuan, who had choked, coughed several times before finally recovering.

He said he wanted to tell you himself.

"what?"

"Video call."

After saying that, he called Zhong Mingyi.

"Hello? Where is everyone?"

Zhong Ming had finished his match early and returned to the hotel. When he saw Song Chen's call invitation and the instructions he received at noon, he answered the call immediately, but all he saw was a gray, hazy screen.

But soon, Lin Xuan's cheeky voice came through the phone.

"Wait a minute, the food is just arriving, please wait a moment~"

Once the plates were set out, Lin Xuan put her phone down and casually picked up a piece of shredded pork with garlic sauce, put it in her bowl, and took a big bite. Meanwhile, Song Chen was quietly eating his rice.

Let the two of them decide what happens next. He paid for the meal anyway, so wouldn't it be a waste if he didn't eat more?

"what's up?"

While eating, Lin Xuan asked Zhong Mingyi a question.

"Could you put the food down first?"

"It doesn't have any impact~"

"I'm hungry too! I just ordered takeout but I'm stuck in traffic."

Zhong Mingyi looked at the one-kilometer stretch of another food delivery app that hadn't moved for ages, and wished he could send his Long March to snatch the food away. He was just tired of the hotel food and wanted to try something different, but this traffic jam was the problem.

"Alright, alright, you go ahead."

Lin Xuan put down her chopsticks, picked up a tissue, and wiped her mouth, looking very formal.

"You know about the dojo, right? After the tournament, I will take over as the dojo master of Jianghai City."

When the conversation turned to serious matters, Zhong Mingyi's expression became slightly more serious.

"I know, Song Chen told me everything."

"Don't worry, I've got it figured out. When I get back to Shanghai, I'll definitely give him a good training session."

Zhong Ming spoke in a very calm tone, but Song Chen felt a chill run down her spine upon hearing it, before quickly continuing to eat.

Anyway, Zhong Mingyi is still in the capital. After the competition ends, he will just go back to Shanghai to pack his things and then come to Jianghai City to take up his post. He can just ask his advisor for a leave of absence for a couple of days!

In short, they've given up.

"So what do you want from me?"

"Ahem, as you know, this is the first time the League has ever opened a gym, and it's the first time for me too. We don't have much experience, and I don't have many people here, so I thought..."

"No way, I don't have time!"

Lin Xuan shook his head immediately before he could finish speaking. He was just trying to drag him over to be a laborer, and he refused to do it no matter what!

"The salary is very high!" Knowing Lin Xuan's personality, Zhong Ming immediately pulled out his trump card. Sure enough, Lin Xuan hesitated for a moment before asking:

"How many?"

"The alliance attaches great importance to this project and provides a large amount of funding and resources every year, most of which are at my disposal."

Zhong Mingyi didn't say it explicitly, but the meaning was clear: many of the resources allocated by the alliance are not things that money can easily buy.

"Hiss~" Lin Xuan admitted that he was wavering.

"Your job is very simple. When you have free time, come and give some pointers to the apprentices you recruit. You decide the time; come whenever you want."

Zhong Mingyi had prepared a whole host of tempting conditions for Lin Xuan, so he wasn't afraid that Lin Xuan wouldn't agree.

"When will the contract be signed?"

Chapter 143 Xiao Zhong: Have some decency!

"You agreed?"

"It's mainly these conditions you mentioned. I've thought about it and I think they're not unacceptable. I'll just consider it helping you out as a friend."

Lin Xuan sighed and said, as if Zhong Mingyi had taken a huge advantage of him.

Zhong Mingyi's lips twitched violently. This guy always managed to make people teeter on the edge of wanting to punch him. If Lin Xuan had some kind of negative emotion system, his strength would have reached the champion level long ago.

“If you’re going to push yourself so hard, you don’t have to make a special effort to help me,” Zhong Mingyi said through gritted teeth.

"No, I must help my friend in need," Lin Xuan said with righteous indignation.

But Zhong Mingyi always felt that this guy drew his sword to put on a show of helping a friend in need.

"That's settled then. We'll discuss the specifics when I get to Jianghai City. You can't back out now!"

In any case, it's not a loss to be able to trick Lin Xuan into coming here first. With his help, the establishment of the dojo should be relatively simple, and then we won't have to trouble him with everything.

But Zhong Mingyi may have overlooked one thing: Lin Xuan was never someone who could be easy to deal with...

After finishing their conversation, Zhong Mingyi was about to end the call, but Lin Xuan stopped him.

"Don't rush off yet, your takeout hasn't arrived yet. Let's eat for a bit first!"

As Lin Xuan put meat into her bowl, she spoke to Zhong Mingyi, whose face immediately darkened upon hearing this.

"roll!"

After hurling insults, he immediately ended the call.

"Tsk~ Really." Lin Xuan lowered her head, took a bite of rice, thought for a moment, and then asked Song Chen beside her, "Did you bring your tablet?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

Song Chen, who was frantically eating, was stunned for a moment after hearing Lin Xuan's words, and then nodded.

"Ahem, can I borrow your photo for a moment? You should have a picture of Zhong Mingyi, right?"

Yes, I do, but what do you want to do with it?

Song Chen took out his tablet from his backpack and stared blankly at Lin Xuan.

"You'll find out soon."

Lin Xuan brought up Zhong Mingyi's photo on Song Chen's tablet and placed it aside.

"To give him a sense of participation."

"Wouldn't that be a bad idea..."
