Elf: Starts with small diamonds, then mutates into Diancie.

Unexpectedly, Su Hao didn't even know the relevant reward regulations, yet he still managed to catch the two of them.

Chu Ya didn't list out the rewards to Su Hao one by one. She made a rough estimate and said, "Based on your ability to capture these two people, the reward range is roughly one of the two."

"Common resources on the market, such consumables, can be directly converted into 300 merit points."

The reward is roughly three million Shenzhou coins, which is a huge sum of money for an ordinary student.

But for a genius like Su Hao who already possesses four professional-level skills...

As Chu Ya expected, Su Hao's expectant expression turned indifferent upon hearing the details of the reward: "I'm fine with anything... never mind, just help me convert it into merit points instead."

He casually stole the rewards from Chi Bi and Chi Xu, which amounted to nearly a third of the bounty he had offered on the external website.

This money is really good.

As Chu Ya expected, Su Hao chose to exchange for merit points. After looking around, she whispered in Su Hao's ear, "Save up more merit points. Once your trainer level increases, you can buy a lot of good things that are not available outside."

"For example, resources related to legendary Pokémon, like your Milotic, can be ordered to buy Articuno's Feather to train Ice-type moves."

To some extent, the Four Heavenly Kings share information, so what Li Luoyan knew, she also knew, since she watched the entire final.

Su Hao's Milotic must have grasped some of the essence of the Ice God's ice-type moves during that blizzard unleashed by the Ice God, which is why it was able to create a blizzard capable of freezing the flames of Chandelure.

The feathers of Articuno, the Ice God, can be carried by Milotic to comprehend a trace of the icy essence contained within them.

This is the broad road to becoming a world champion!

Currently, all four of them are betting that it will take Su Hao several years to take over their positions.

Trusting her junior's son, she thought it would take four to five years.

At an age when others are still striving for the title of professional trainer after graduating from university, Su Hao is already participating in the Elite Four Challenge.

Su Hao opened his mouth, then murmured, "Articuno's feathers..."

Chu Ya nodded and emphasized, "It's the super-powerful Articuno that froze this tsunami, which is also the feather of the Ice God."

"..."

Su Hao held back for a long time before finally stopping himself from blurting out, "I have a whole bundle of these feathers," a phrase that sounded like something out of Versailles.

"Ah, that's something to look forward to! (Read in a monotone tone)"

My cat fell from the third floor. He received emergency injections and some medication to treat internal bleeding. We also fed him glucose, Yunnan Baiyao powder, and a pain reliever via syringe. He didn't have any fractures, but he had internal bleeding. The vet said he could survive if he made it through tonight.

I hope he can pull through.

Mewtwo, Moltres, Zapdos, Articuno.

Chapter 323 Years Old

The Alliance used both Polygon and Rotom but failed to find any clues about Nova on the computers. In the end, they could only dismantle all the items and take them back to the technical department to think of another way.

But none of this affected Su Hao's reward distribution, since he had indeed caught the mastermind's accomplice.

Even if they are dead.

Chu Ya led a group of Alliance staff away with the dismantled evidence, and the cave returned to its original state.

Su Hao bid farewell to the Giant Coal Mountain Clan, who had regained their peaceful life, and slowly returned to Shanghai.

Back in Shanghai, Su Hao rejected Su Qing's proposal to throw a big party for her eighteenth birthday.

Seeing Su Hao's resolute attitude, Su Qing had no choice but to call a few acquaintances and hold a video conference.

Even Su Xu, the father who was in a secret location, temporarily left the secret location and repeatedly apologized to his wife and son during a video call.

He is currently at a crucial breakthrough point and can only celebrate Su Hao's birthday via video.

In this way, in a not-so-crowded but still lively environment, Su Hao, who received a lot of birthday wishes on his phone, passed his eighteenth birthday without any surprises.

August 28th marks the start of the second semester for university students returning to campus in just two days.

In this world, the start of the school year is at the beginning of the year, while the second semester begins on September 1st.

Su Hao decided to go to Jiangcheng University ahead of time to avoid the peak return travel period.

Because before Su Hao left, Director Mu strongly urged him to let him know before returning to Jiangcheng University.

As he boarded the high-speed train directly to Jiangcheng, Su Hao still sent him a message.

Su Hao: Director Mu, I'm getting ready to go back to school.

He thought he would have to wait a while for a reply, but two seconds after Su Hao sent the message, the other party responded.

Mu Donghai: Okay!

Mu Donghai: What's the train number? How long will it take? I'll arrange for someone to pick you up!

Su Hao was surprised that the other party could reply to the message so quickly, even at such a late hour.

After thinking about it, he figured it wouldn't be bad if someone picked him up. He glanced at the ticket and entered the specific time into his phone.

Su Hao: Arrived at 8:00 AM on the 29th, got off at Jiangcheng Station, train number C.

The next day, Su Hao, who had slept soundly in business class all night, was unsurprisingly woken up by the flight attendant.

Stretching and without any luggage, Su Hao got off the bullet train feeling relaxed.

Not to mention the larger and more comfortable environment of the business class ticket compared to the regular ticket, Su Hao's physical condition would certainly not cause him any back pain.

Unlike Shanghai and Beijing, Jiangcheng is not known for its fast pace and high-tech industries.

The overall atmosphere is one of slow-paced living, with beautiful natural scenery, making it ideal for retirement and travel.

There were very few people holding signs to pick up people by the fence outside the station, and Su Hao spotted the person who was there to meet him almost immediately.

Then... he rubbed his eyes, wondering if he had seen wrong.

Hmm, not sure, let me take another look.

After going back and forth several times, Su Hao had to confirm that the "trio" that seemed so out of place in every sense was there to pick him up.

The girl had long, flowing hair that was smooth and jet black.

Her skin was flawless, as smooth as jade, and her delicate features were expressionless. She wore a long dress and held up a white cardboard sign with the two bold black characters "Su Hao" written on it.

He has a cold, aloof demeanor that keeps people at arm's length. Is he a trainer specializing in Ice-type Pokémon?

The creatures standing on either side of her like guardian deities were not human, but rather humanoid Pokémon.

Two pairs of arms, muscular and bluish, with light blue skin, and a red safety helmet on his head.

He looks like a freak who just ran out of a construction site.

On his first day officially settling in Jiangcheng, Su Hao sensed a hint of abstraction.

Su Hao hesitated for a moment, then mustered up his courage and stepped forward.

Under the watchful eyes of the two strong men, Su Hao looked at the senior student in front of him who was holding a sign and seemed to be lost in thought, and asked:

"...Is she a senior from Jiangcheng University?"

The girl's unfocused pupils seemed to be filled with Su Hao's gaze.

The sound seemed to awaken him, and he instantly became still.

As if she had just restarted, she showed no sign of the embarrassment that most people would feel after losing focus, and said expressionlessly, "Yes, I am the person sent by Jiangcheng University to pick you up."

"My name is Mu Yao, I'm a senior, please feel free to address me."

Su Hao glanced at her with some oddness. Why did this Senior Mu... Yao give him a sense of unease?

It's like someone who is two-faced.

Su Hao extended his hand and thanked him:

"May I call you senior? My name is Su Hao, and I'm a freshman. Thank you for picking me up."

He was already waiting for him outside the station at 8 a.m., so Su Hao felt obligated to thank him.

Mu Yao extended her hand, which was as white as her skin, and lightly shook hands with Su Hao before parting. She said in a calm tone, "Okay, then I'll call you Junior Su Hao too. We're all classmates, so there's no need to use honorifics."

After speaking, Mu Yao remembered that her teacher had told her to be kind to this legendary genius.

As both of them withdrew their hands simultaneously, Mu Yao, whose face had remained expressionless and somewhat stiff, forced a strange smile that was neither particularly attractive nor unattractive:

"Welcome to Jiangcheng University, junior Su Hao!"

She tried to soften her tone to appear more approachable.

But in Su Hao's eyes, she was a pretty senior student who forced a somewhat stiff smile and spoke to him in a detached tone.

There's a strange sense of disconnect.

"Please advise..."

Su Hao didn't know what to say, so he could only respond weakly.

This senior student seems a bit strange, but she seems like a nice person.

"Hmm." Mu Yao nodded gently in response, then craned her neck and looked around behind Su Hao for a long time, looking somewhat puzzled.

"Senior Mu Yao, what are you looking at?"
