Is there something wrong with playing Pokémon in Genshin Impact?

Noticing Lei Ze's gaze, Zoroark raised his head and smiled at Lei Ze.

Lei Ze didn't say anything, but continued washing the dishes.

A long time ago, alchemists developed a liquid extracted from oil. This liquid is harmless to the human body and has strong degreasing properties, so it is often used in catering. After all, this thing is much more useful than hot water and rags, and the cost is cheap.

Time passes quickly when you focus on doing something, and soon the dishes piled here were washed.

After washing the dishes, Lei Ze sat on the stool and looked around blankly, trying to find something to do.

"Okay, then boy, come over to eat when you're done washing up."

By this time, it was past dinner time and the small outdoor restaurant had been destroyed.

The boss prepared the meal and sat in a chair. He took a puff of the pipe in his hand and looked at Lei Ze with satisfaction.

During this period, due to the arrival of Pokémon, there are an unusually large number of people going out to explore the wild, so there are also an unusually large number of people coming to this small wilderness restaurant to eat, so much so that the owner is so busy that he almost has to work around the clock.

If it weren't for Lei Ze, the boss would have to wash so many dishes by himself until late at night.

"Oh……"

Lei Ze wiped his hands, stood up, and found that there was not only a bowl for himself on the table, but the boss also prepared a small bowl for Soraya.

"Boy, you look like you are from Mondstadt, right?"

The boss asked as he looked at Lei Ze who was eating with his head down.

After all, most of the Liyue people’s clothes are not as free as Lei Ze’s.

"Yes, it's from the Wolf Territory in Mondstadt."

During this period, Lei Ze also communicated a lot with other people while traveling, and he had a clearer understanding of the continent under his feet and knew that the Wolf Territory was on the territory of Mond.

"Is this your Pokémon?"

The boss nodded and looked at Zoroark, whose eating habits were exactly the same as Razor's.

"Zorua... is my partner, my family, not my Pokémon."

Hearing what the boss said, Lei Ze raised his head and said seriously.

"Well, what are you doing in Liyue?"

The boss looked at Zoroark curiously. He didn't see any Poké Ball on Razor, so this Zoroark was most likely a wild Pokémon that just followed Razor voluntarily.

"Pokémon... don't like staying in the Poké Ball. This time... I want to rescue the Pokémon."

Lei Ze looked into the boss' eyes and said seriously.

Chapter 179: The Pickpocket Cat's Return

The boss frowned slightly and tapped his pipe lightly on the table, knocking the burnt ashes onto the ground.

"Boy, I don't have any Pokémon either, so I don't really understand what you're saying, but I want to ask you, how do you know that Pokémon don't like to stay in Poké Balls?"

Lei Ze swallowed the food in his mouth and said seriously.

"Because... Zoroark doesn't like being in a Poké Ball."

Hearing this, the boss smiled lightly. After all, they were just children, thinking so extreme. But who hasn't been through this time?

"Boy, I'm going to tell you something. Just remember it. I don't ask you to understand it now. As long as you remember it, you will understand it in the future."

Lei Ze nodded slightly.

Seeing this, the boss spoke.

"Kid, this world is not all about black and white. Sometimes, there is white in black, and black in white."

Lei Ze tilted his head and looked at the boss. He didn't understand what the boss meant.

"Haha, you don't understand, right? That's right, just remember it."

Seeing Lei Ze's look, the boss laughed.

In the evening, after dinner, Lei Ze stayed temporarily at his boss's place.

He lay on the bed, Zoroark curled up on his chest, and Lei Ze stared at the ceiling with wide eyes, his mind full of the words his boss had said.

Neither the sword master nor the purple master had ever said such words to him.

They would just laugh and change the subject, or simply keep silent.

Lei Ze didn't know how he fell asleep, or maybe he didn't sleep at all all night.

The next morning, the dazed Lei Ze was awakened by the wetness on his face. He opened his eyes and found that Zoroark was looking at him with energy.

"Morning...Zorua."

“咪!”

After getting up, folding the quilt, Lei Ze returned to the sink and started his day's work.

But just as he was about to do it, he was stopped by his boss.

"Okay, kid, go away. I know you have important things to do. It's not right for you to stay here any longer."

"But... the damage caused to you by the pickpocket cat..."

Listening to the boss' words, Lei Ze wanted to speak more, but was interrupted by the boss.

"That little guy brought a large pile of berries this morning. Look, that pile. So the damage caused by the pickpocket cat has been offset. You don't have to stay here and help me any more."

The boss pointed to the various fruits on the table next to him. Seeing those fruits, Lei Ze nodded slowly.

"Then boss...goodbye."

Having said that, Lei Ze turned around and was about to leave, but before he walked out of the store, he was stopped by the boss.

"Wait, this is your wages from yesterday. I also gave you some dry food in exchange. Take it with you. I don't know what you were thinking. You walked from Mondstadt to Liyue without bringing anything. Luckily, you are lucky, otherwise you wouldn't be able to walk to my shop."

As he spoke, the boss took out a package from the kitchen and handed it to Lei Ze.

"Thank...thank you, boss."

Lei Ze's eyes were a little moist. Although they had only known each other for one day, the boss was one of the few people who treated him well.

After saying goodbye to his boss, Lei Ze followed Zoroark's instructions and headed towards Liyue Harbor.

While walking on the road, Lei Ze suddenly stopped, sniffed the air, and finally set his eyes on a big tree.

"Why are you following me?"

Lei Ze asked in confusion.

As soon as he finished speaking, a purple kitten slowly walked out from the tree. It was the pickpocket cat from yesterday.

"Meow~"

The pickpocket cat jumped down from the tree, slowly walked to Lei Ze's side, raised his head, and made a soft cry.

"You...want to follow me? Why?"

Lei Ze looked at the pickpocket cat with some surprise.

"Meow~"

The pickpocket cat also looked at Lei Ze strangely and made a sound.

"Why should I help you? I... don't know."

Hearing Lei Ze's answer, the pickpocket cat covered his mouth and chuckled, what a fool.

It walked to Lei Ze and gently rubbed Lei Ze's trouser leg.

In response, Lei Ze didn't say anything, but just acquiesced to the pickpocket cat's actions.

【Pickpocket Cat】

[Attribute: evil]

[Features: Mischievous Heart (Can be the first to use a change move)]

[A mean Pokémon that steals people's belongings for fun, and the people whose belongings are stolen from will unconsciously forgive it because of its cute actions.]

[Skills: Grab, Call, Leverage, Throw Sand, Yawn]

Razor didn't react much, but Zoroark might not be the case.

When the little black fox saw the pickpocket cat's actions, his eyes suddenly became sharp and he stared at the evil cat fiercely.

In response, the pickpocket cat rolled its eyes, a hint of teasing flashed in its eyes, and in front of Zoroark, it jumped onto Lei Ze's shoulder in a few jumps and gently rubbed Lei Ze's cheek.

This time, Zoroark couldn't bear it anymore, and pounced directly on Razor, dragging the pickpocket cat down. The two little guys wrestled with each other, and the scene was very chaotic for a while.

Lei Ze looked at this scene at a loss, he didn't know what to do. When he was in the wolf pack, the wolf pack was a big family. Even if there were any conflicts, nothing would happen under the remaining power of the king wolf. It was not like it is now.

……

The next morning, Ningguang sat up from Shakira's side.

Before she knew it, she had slept on the stairs all night.

"Bai Xiao."

After waking up, Ningguang regained her usual confident and calm smile. When she heard Ningguang's call, the door opened and Bai Xiao walked in.

"Lord Ningguang, what can I do for you? (Oh no, I didn't offend Lord Ningguang in some way, did I? Yesterday, that poor fellow Bai Shi was exiled to Fontainebleau, where will I be exiled next?)"

Bai Xiao's wails rang in Ningguang's ears, but this time, Ningguang's expression did not change at all.

"Go and bring today's government affairs here. Oh, and ask Baiwen to gather all the construction owners in Liyue Harbor."

Keqing has already visited the location of the Taoist temple, and now she has to start dealing with the construction issues of the eight Taoist temples.

“I understand, Lady Ningguang (Huh… Fortunately, I didn’t make Lady Ningguang unhappy. But then again, Lady Ningguang seems to be in a good mood today, much better than yesterday).”

Bai Xiao took his leave and left the Qun Yu Pavilion, and Ningguang took this opportunity to change her clothes.

I have to meet those construction bosses later, and I can’t be fully dressed.

As the Tianquan Star of Liyue, Ningguang has strict rules about who to meet and what to wear in every occasion. This is Ningguang's etiquette.

"Shakira, evolve soon."

Before leaving the room, Ningguang gently stroked Shakila's rough skin. In her mind, she seemed to have imagined what this big cocoon would look like when it broke out of the pupa.

Chapter 180: The Birth of the Pink Devil

"Morning, Master Ningguang."

Rushing to the reception room, all the construction merchants of Liyue, big and small, gathered there.

Ningguang was like a born protagonist. As soon as she appeared on the scene, she attracted everyone's attention.

Hearing their flattering laughter, Ningguang just nodded slightly.

At this moment, all their thoughts were exposed to Ningguang's ears without any reservation, but Ningguang did not show any concern, just like before.

"Everyone, the reason I called you here this time is that I want you to build eight gyms in eight strategically located places. The first thing to ensure for a gym is that it is solid. Who among you thinks you are capable of doing this?"

The main task of a Pokémon Gym is to be sturdy. After all, the main purpose of a Pokémon Gym is to fight against challengers in the gym, so if it is not sturdy, it will not work.

"This……"

After hearing this, everyone below began to look at each other in confusion.

This job is not easy to take, but high risk also means high rewards.

On the stage, Ningguang still looked at them with a smile, waiting for them to express their opinions.

"Master Ningguang, I'll take this job."

Finally, someone stood up, and immediately, the others followed suit and rushed to sign up, fearing that they would be left behind.

"Boss Li, long time no see."

With a laugh, the door of the Pokémon House was pushed open, and a man with a snake wrapped around his neck slowly walked in.

The innocent-looking little Fudan followed closely behind.

"Hey, it's Doctor Baizhu, how come you have time to come to my place today?"

Li Pan replied with a smile.
