"Dr. Olin also needs to report all her work in Area Zero to me. As for the Gulden she is responsible for taking care of, it was registered within the Padiya Alliance a long time ago."

The questions he was asking Nan Xian involved the privacy and secrets of the alliance.

That is to say, since everyone present was his own people, Ye Ci would speak openly to Nan Xian. Even so, when he looked at the calm expression of the white-haired girl, Ye Ci would still recall the throbbing in his heart when he first learned about 'Millarton'.

"I just want to know if Dr. Olin has shown any other understanding of Millerton."

At that moment, Ye Ci still had a smile on his face and spoke in a friendly tone.

But Nan Xian was not blinded by the performance. He clearly understood the meaning behind Ye Ci's words.

Although Ye Ci said that all of Dr. Olin's work needed to be reported to her in detail, the fact that she asked herself proved that the former was not true.

——Dr. Olin must have concealed some things from Ye Ci, which led to Ye Ci's suspicion of Dr. Olin and his subsequent desire to obtain information through himself.

why?

Doubts kept arising in Nan Xian's mind.

Why do both Ye Ci and Dr. Olin have associations when they see Millerton, who should not belong to this world?

They may know some inside information that Nan Xian doesn't know until now, so they pay more attention to Millerton than Nan Xian.

But it was precisely because of Ye Ci's performance that the girl's thoughts quickly turned and she immediately realized it.

Except for herself, everyone's understanding of Millerton should be just superficial. Otherwise, why would they just ask but not take any concrete action?

Moreover, Ye Ci made no secret of the fact that he did not trust Dr. Olin, which was also a message to Nan Xian, suggesting that the girl should not easily believe the previous communication with Dr. Olin.

——But in that communication, I only told Dr. Olin the name of Millerton and let Dr. Olin meet Millerton.

Nan Xian frowned, and suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind, and she recalled what Dr. Olin said to Millerton at that time, as if he was talking to himself.

"Millarton... As expected, will he behave like this?"

What I didn't take too seriously at the time has now caused a huge storm.

Dr. Olin, an expert in the study of the Taicrystalization phenomenon and the inventor of Taicrystal Beads.

The president of the Padia Pokémon League, the chairman of the Orange Academy, is also Ci.

Which of the two is more trustworthy? Do I need to give a direct answer to Ye Ci's question at this moment?

——The girl hesitated while thinking.

Chapter 148: Dr. Olin's Second Communication

When the situation becomes complicated, we should focus on the main contradiction first and put aside the secondary contradictions.

Right now, the problem Nan Xian faces is to identify the content that needs the most attention from the complex situation.

First up is Millerton.

As the cause of the incident, Dr. Olin and Ye Ci both paid attention to Millerton and developed a strong interest in it.

But beyond that, do they really know much about Millerton?

Nan Xian thought carefully about the two people's performance and finally came to a negative answer from the bottom of his heart.

——At least it was impossible for Ye Ci to understand Milton deeply.

If Yeci really knew what kind of Pokémon Milton was, she would never allow Nanxian to ride Milton around the Padia region.

This is a paradoxical Pokémon with an actual level of 68. Even if it does not show any danger at the moment, if Milton suddenly goes berserk and Nan Xian is unable to stop Milton, what kind of chaos will it cause?

As long as Nan Xian knew the situation, he would never be able to leave the reception room unless he explained Millerton's situation clearly.

At the moment, Ye Ci still maintained a semi-passive attitude, calmly waiting for Nan Xian's reply, which already explained part of the facts.

In this case, Nan Xian can change his perspective and rethink why Ye Ci cares about Millerton.

——The disagreement between Dr. Olin and Ye Ci is almost obvious.

Since Nan Xian didn't know the inside story yet, Ye Ci showed strong distrust of Dr. Olin. That's why she asked Nan Xian, an outsider, for news about Dr. Olin.

No matter how amiable Ye Ci appears to be, due to his position, he cannot easily trust others.

She is the president of the Pokémon League and the chairman of the Orange Academy. How could she be so naive when she is in such a high position?

Thinking of this, Nan Xian's thoughts gradually became clear.

——Perhaps my answer is not important.

What Ye Ci really wanted to know was probably how much truth Dr. Olin had concealed.

Area Zero is too important. Not only is it located in the central part of the Padiya region, but there are also many mysteries within it. It is even related to the crystallization phenomenon that the Padiya Alliance companies have continuously invested in in recent years.

Any slight negligence will cause a chain reaction that will affect the entire region.

Rather than saying that Ye Ci is too scheming, it is better to say that she has to be so cautious in order to live up to her duties and status.

Therefore, even the questions raised to Nan Xian at this moment, in reality, can only provide one-sided information at best.

As for how Ye Ci would react to his answer in the end, Nan Xian thought that it had nothing to do with him.

Just like the answer the girl gave at this moment.

"…Dr. Olin showed no particular understanding."

Nan Xian answered frankly.

Yes or no.

It was an ambiguous answer to begin with. Given Nan Xian's understanding of Millerton, everyone involved could not compare to him.

Now it seems that the waters of the Padia Alliance are indeed deep. I just didn't get involved in it before. If I really step in, there will be a lot of trouble.

Nan Xian didn't want to care about any dispute between Dr. Olin and Ye Ci over Millerton.

The girl didn't care about anything. For her, what she cared about most was Millerton himself.

In this world, Milton no longer has any ties, and it cares about fewer and fewer things. Until now, it seems that it can only rely on itself.

If even Nanxian doesn't focus on Millerton, who can it rely on?

Whether it's Dr. Olin or Ye Ci, there may be complicated reasons why they pay attention to Millerton.

But the mechanical paradox dragon from another world just follows Nanxian. It trusts Nanxian so much, so Nanxian needs to consider Millerton's ideas more seriously.

——Your intrigues are your business, don’t involve me.

Ye Ci didn't know that Nan Xian had thought so much in such a short time. When she heard the girl's answer, she felt a little disappointed.

"Is this so..."

The girl's expression didn't seem fake. Thinking about it carefully, Ye Ci believed that Dr. Olin would most likely not reveal too much information to Nan Xian on their first meeting.

"Maybe I was too anxious..."

Ye Ci thought to himself.

No matter how Millerton came into Nanxian's hands, at least its existence itself means that the situation in Zone Zero may have changed.

As the president of the Padia Pokémon League and chairman of the Orange Academy, Ye Ci has to worry about the operations of the league while also caring about the teaching situation in the academy.

In addition, since the development work in Zone Zero in the Padiya region is also managed by the Alliance, the companies that have previously invested a lot of money in Tai Crystallization research will ask Ye Ci about the progress from time to time.

As time went by, the pressure on Ye Ci became greater and greater, while at the same time, the intelligence coming out of Area Zero became less and less.

Although he was willing to think on the bright side, Ye Ci still needed to prepare for the worst-case scenario.

No matter how calm Dr. Olin appears during the increasingly rare video conferences, it is a fact that she cannot send good signals.

The recent incident of the paradox species breaking out of Area Zero, which included an individual named Gulton, further verified Ye Ci's conjecture.

——Perhaps, the situation in Area Zero has gotten out of control.

There are still a large number of ancient paradox species active in Area Zero, and a few of them are now circulating outside of Padia. At this time, Nanxian from the Johto area has brought a Milton that is suspected to be related to Area Zero.

One conversation was enough for Ye Ci to understand Nan Xian. She believed in her own way of looking at people, and there must be nothing wrong with the white-haired girl in front of her.

If there is any problem, it can only be Dr. Olin, who is still in Area Zero and is a huge suspect.

"Olin...what on earth did you do in Area Zero?"

Ye Ci shook his head slightly, looking a little tired.

It just so happened that he had received and understood enough information during this meeting, so he calmed down and smiled again.

"Nan Xian, thank you for answering my questions. I think you must be a little tired after the communication and conversation just now. Let's finish it first, and then I will take you away."

Ye Ci continued to send friendly signals in the end.

The girl noticed this. Although it seemed a bit too ostentatious to let Ye Ci come personally to send her off, looking at the familiar looks in Xin Li and Basho's eyes, it seemed that the president of the alliance and the chief champion often did similar things.

"...Then I'll trouble you."

Nan Xian nodded and accepted Ye Ci's kindness.

Seeing this, everyone in the room smiled, and the slightly depressing atmosphere from before disappeared.

Although she said she was seeing Nan Xian off, in fact, Ye Ci only accompanied Nan Xian out of the reception room. After they arrived at the corridor inside the academy, the girl politely declined the suggestion of seeing him off further and watched Ye Ci turn around.

“It’s really stressful.”

Not until Ye Ci walked away did Nan Xian let out a sigh and murmured to himself.

"Although I can feel that Miss Ye Ci's mind is all focused on work, it is precisely because she is too serious and responsible about her work. If you have a boss like this, the pressure on your subordinates will definitely be enormous..."

From the perspective of workers, if the boss keeps an eye on their work progress every day and their attitude is not spur of the moment, it is natural that the members of the Padilla Alliance can withstand such pressure and have flourished in recent years.

But Nan Xian definitely doesn't want to work under Ye Ci.

Being free and easy has become a habit for me. Even my job as a craftsman is done at will, purely driven by my interests and hobbies.

——You’re already well-funded, but you’re still so greedy. Don’t you want to give others a chance to survive?

Nan Xian only wants to live for himself and his Pokémon, and doesn't want to share any other pressure.

While silently complaining in her heart, the girl took a step forward, preparing to return to the dormitory to continue playing the simulator leisurely.

As a result, the phone suddenly vibrated continuously and a communication signal came.

Who would call me at this time?

The girl was very curious and took out her mobile phone from her pocket. Before she could see the content on the screen clearly, the call was automatically connected and the video screen was displayed.

"Hello, Nanxian."

A smiling Dr. Olin appeared in the middle of the girl's phone screen and waved in greeting.

"..."

Nan Xian couldn't help but hold the phone farther away.

As soon as Ye Ci left, Dr. Olin sent a message. Nan Xian was the first one who didn't believe it was a coincidence.

and.

I clearly didn't make any move to receive the call just now, but Dr. Olin directly connected to the conversation and even turned on the video function automatically.

——Did you hack my phone?

What a scary person.

For the first time, the girl felt fear for Dr. Olin, who was far away in Area Zero.

Even though his current abilities are already quite strong, Nan Xian never dares to underestimate those who have made achievements in the research field.

Dr. Olin showed off a little bit of his skills at this moment, which was enough to make the girl respectful. She murmured in her heart while forcing a smile.

"Dr. Olin...what can I do for you?"

"It's like this. I seem to have detected a strange energy signal around your body. After analysis, I found that the energy signal is beneficial to Millerton, so I sent a communication to inquire."

Dr. Olin did not mention Ye Ci's plan at all.

Although according to her words, Nan Xian immediately guessed that she probably used some means to sense the secret spicy ingredient in his hand.

If that was the case, the conversation between me and Ye Ci just now must have been within the scope of Dr. Olin's observation.

From the first meeting, Dr. Olin said that Nanxian had problems with the cultivation of Millerton, although he could contact her.
