My electronic Pokémon came true?

He finally realized that the person in front of him seemed to be the protagonist of many recent news in the academy. Although he forgot her name, she seemed to be a big shot from the Johto region.

Piper raised her hand and patted her forehead, trying to clear her dizzy head.

——No wonder I have some impression of this Pokémon called Milton. I saw it some time ago.

Although she still didn't understand why the other party called out her name, Piper tried to calm down and tried to speak again in a more friendly tone.

At this moment, the white-haired girl spoke naturally, saying words that made Papa's eyes widen.

……

"I got a recommendation from Dr. Olin. I heard that you are studying nutrition and have done some research on cooking, so I wanted to ask you a favor."

Nan Xian looked at the brown-haired boy in front of him with an expression of disbelief on his face, and suddenly felt a little emotional.

The relationship between Dr. Olin and her son is indeed as delicate as rumored...

Although he had come into contact with Paipa through the simulator earlier, after going through so many things, this was the first time Nan Xian had a face-to-face conversation with the boy.

After a few words, Papa's expression became uncertain.

Nan Xian was still wondering if the combo of Millerton and Dr. Olin was not effective enough when Papa finally spoke again.

"You mean mom…that guy introduced me to you?"

He seemed particularly unsure, and there was a strong sense of hesitation in his tone.

But Nan Xian more or less felt that Papa did not seem to completely disbelieve it, he was just a little bit unconvinced, just like what he said next.

"Why would that person mention me to others... Could you be mistaken?"

"of course not."

Nan Xian quickly denied Papa's question.

"Dr. Olin did mention you. Unless I recognized the wrong person, and you are not Piper, who is studying Pokémon Nutrition in Class 1-G, then the talent Dr. Olin introduced to me should not be wrong."

The faster the conversation, the less time the other person has to think.

Although using this method of conversation with young students was a bit like bullying, Nan Xian didn't completely regard Papa as a fool.

After all, he is Dr. Olin's son.

——You know, he is the expert doctor who developed the Taijing Pearl and studied the Taijing phenomenon!

Although the big boy in front of him looked somewhat ordinary, considering that Millerton also reacted to Papa, Nan Xian had already made the decision that it would be better to be more cautious when talking to him.

But after a series of combo skills, Papa's expression seemed more like he was doubting his life.

"How...how could this happen...that person...my mother actually mentioned me to others, haven't I been forgotten..."

It turned out to be the case.

Nan Xian overheard what Papa said in shock and sighed in his heart.

...Dr. Olin, how long has it been since you last contacted your family?

Papa even thought that her mother had forgotten her. When she realized this, she had a better understanding of the hesitant expression on Dr. Olin's face not long ago.

Every family has its own problems...but the situation of this family is obviously more complicated than that of most families.

However, Nan Xian did not come here to mediate the family relationship between the two. As an outsider, she did not think she had the right to tell others what to do.

"Piper-san, let's get back to business."

Nan Xian interrupted Papa's confused thoughts.

"The reason I came to look for you this time is actually because I accidentally got a magical ingredient during this period. It was because of that ingredient that Dr. Olin gave me the suggestion and thought that I could process the ingredient with your help."

"……I?"

Papa barely came to his senses, but still didn't quite believe what Nan Xian said.

"My ability is probably not enough, and I don't know what the ingredients you are talking about are..."

Even if the other person seems to be of high status and I don't know her, suddenly someone will come over and say that their mother introduced them.

——I haven’t seen her for almost ten years!

Papa's inner emotion at this moment was not so much surprise as it was anger as the suppressed emotions were aroused again.

Previously, the reason why Papa went to Area Zero was to look for his mother, but he didn't find his mother and instead let the Mastiff Godfather get hurt.

Although he couldn't complain to anyone else, Papa's mood was quite complicated. It was rare for him to be able to calm down and listen to Nan Xian.

"Just listen to me first."

It's rare to find someone with excellent cooking skills. Moreover, the other party is related to Dr. Olin. He must be familiar with the things in Area Zero.

Nan Xian reached into his pocket and when he took it out again, the secret spicy ingredient he took out from the system warehouse was already in front of Papa.

"...???"

The glowing plant instantly made the boy's eyes widen, and he didn't know what he was seeing.

The white-haired girl holding the plant smiled and spoke slowly.

"My name is Nan Xian, and the plant in my hand is what Dr. Olin calls a secret seasoning."

"I'm looking for someone who can handle secret seasonings. I wonder if you can help me out with this rare ingredient?"

Secret seasoning...

Papa was struggling in his heart just now, trying to figure out how to find its trace.

In the blink of an eye, a white-haired girl holding a secret seasoning came in the name of a mother. For a moment, Papa didn't know what expression to show.

Chapter 152: Secret Spicy Curry and the Changes of Millerton

Nan Xian watched Papa's expression change from disbelief to doubt, and finally a hint of hope.

"You mean... this is a secret seasoning?"

Piper asked in a hesitant tone, and when he realized that his question was a bit nonsense, he hurriedly explained.

"It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that I only know about the existence of this plant from literature. I have never seen its specific appearance..."

Such doubts are reasonable.

No one has ever actually seen the secret seasoning, but Dr. Olin was able to determine that the secret seasoning was real based on instrument analysis. For Nan Xian, the only answer he could make at the moment was to bring up Dr. Olin again.

"Of course, at least that's what Dr. Olin said."

The girl spoke as if it was a matter of course and took out her cell phone.

"If you still have doubts, I have her contact information here..."

"No! No no no, I believe it, I believe it!"

Before Nan Xian finished speaking, Papa, who was a little skeptical just now, suddenly changed his expression, waved his hands hurriedly, and refused repeatedly.

——Dr. Olin’s words are indeed useful.

Although Nan Xian knew very well that Papa's current reaction was simply because he didn't want to face his mother, it didn't matter anyway, as long as his words worked.

but……

'Young people are still too young.'

Nan Xian couldn't help but sigh when he saw that Paipa no longer raised any doubts.

Because he didn't want to face his mother, the big boy simply believed that the secret seasoning in his hand was genuine. In other words, he had no intention of deceiving him. If someone with ulterior motives knew of this weakness, Papa would sooner or later experience the dangers of the adult world.

Perhaps because she had lived in the academy for a while and dealt with teachers every day, the girl couldn't help but look at these students from the teachers' perspective.

Whether it was Nimo or Piper, Nan Xian could always see what they were lacking at the moment. When she realized this, she couldn't help but think about it.

——Maybe I am more suitable to be a teacher than a student?

Nan Xian's thought only lasted for a moment. When Papa recovered from the sudden heart palpitations, he looked at the secret seasoning in the girl's hand from a different perspective.

What if this secret seasoning is indeed real...

The big boy, who had just been worrying about how to get the secret seasoning, couldn't help swallowing, with a hint of desire in his eyes.

"I don't know if I can do it, but I can try to help you with this secret seasoning... No, please let me do it!"

Papa was halfway through her speech when she hastily changed her words and began to explain.

"I'm also curious about the secret seasoning. If you're willing to come to me, I'll definitely do my best to help, but I also have a request."

"The process of handling secret seasonings requires tasting, and there may be some loss. If you don't want to use this loss, can you give it to me?"

At the end, Papa even used honorifics to address Nan Xian.

Can I ask Nan Xian for some secret seasonings...

This thought only lasted for a moment in the boy's mind before he could no longer suppress his excitement and couldn't help but speak.

If it was the old Papa, if he suddenly came into contact with someone he didn't know, he would definitely choose to retreat after hesitating in his heart.

But after cheering herself up and mustering up the courage, Papa was willing to even give up her dignity for the sake of the Mastiff Godfather and it didn't matter who she asked for help.

Now is the best opportunity. If you miss it, how long will you have to wait to verify the effect of the secret seasoning?

Although he felt that the boy's tone in front of him was a little subtle, Nan Xian didn't think too much about it.

Whether as a craftsman or as a life principle, the girl has always advocated equal exchange. Papa is willing to help her process the secret seasoning, and what he said is also within the scope of common sense.

If Erkuei were to eat such a large string of secret spicy ingredients in one go, the nutritional value would be too much. For Millerton, it only needed the secret spicy ingredients as a stimulus to stimulate its energy and did not need too much supplementation.

Since there will be losses anyway, and if Papa wants that part of the content, then just give it to him. This will allow him to do Dr. Olin a favor.

Nan Xian thought about it for a while and felt that it would not be a loss to get a favor from Dr. Olin, so he stopped hesitating and nodded.

"no problem."

Upon hearing the reply, Papa couldn't suppress the joy on her face.

Millerton, who witnessed this scene, slowly shifted his eyes to the secret spicy ingredient that Nan Xian was still holding.

It didn't understand how complicated the conversation between Nan Xian and Papa was just now. It was just that Nan Xian had mentioned to Millerton not long ago that he would feed it the seasoning in his hand later.

Although his expression changed monotonously, there were many thoughts running through Millerton's mind.

"Ah, Gas..."

The smell of this seasoning is really unpleasant...

Millerton could feel that the secret seasoning would definitely bring a lot of benefits, but even so, he really didn't like spicy food.

Thinking about eating this string of things, Millerton's mood suddenly became extremely subtle, and even his pace following Nan Xian slowed down a little.

But what is coming will come.

After taking the secret spicy ingredient, Papa re-examined it and had an idea of ​​the nature of this bunch of plants.

"Although it looks rather unusual, its properties seem to be concentrated in the leaves. Grinding these glowing leaves into powder should be able to be used as a common type of seasoning for cooking."

"In that case, can we make it into the curry rice that's popular in the Galar region?"

Nan Xian made a special request.

Hearing this, Piper hesitated.

"For curry rice, the loss may be higher than that of sandwiches."

Unlike the popular sandwiches in Padia, when people in Galar make curry rice, they basically just throw a pot of ingredients into it and stew it, and then pour the soup over the hot rice to enjoy it.

Although curry rice is indeed fragrant, each region has its own regional pride.

As a native of Padia, Papa still believes that sandwiches can better bring out the nutritional value of ingredients. As long as the quantity is controlled well, the sandwiches can perfectly bring out the performance of the ingredients, which can be said to be the best cooking method.

However, Nan Xian shook his head firmly at this moment.

"No, please stick with the curry rice."

Nan Xian really didn't want to taste the sandwich anymore.
