The infrastructure in the Kyushu region is almost world-leading. Even small towns have public telephones, and some villages do too.
The possibility of a lack of communication tools can almost be ruled out.
Lu Li was more inclined to believe that those people had met with accidents.
A 16-year-old boy going on an adventure with an Ordinary-level精灵 (Pokémon) theoretically isn't a problem, because the roads between cities are regularly maintained by the League.
But some ambitious people generally don't take the highways built by the League, and instead set off from the wild.
The dangers of the wild are self-evident. Even Lu Li, with his Elite-level strength, wouldn't dare say that he wouldn't encounter accidents in the wild.
Not to mention those civilians who haven't received education and don't have any cheats.
"Why is there such a thing as a training journey? Ike, why didn't you stop them?" Wei asked indignantly.
The South American League doesn't have such a thing as a training journey. The reason is simple: the main system of the South American League is a gang system. They are all busy抢地盘 (fighting for territory), so how could they think about going out for a walk?
Among the five major leagues that have the custom of training journeys, only the Asia League, the Europe League, and the North American League have it.
Ike asked back with a bitter face: "What reason should I use to stop them from pursuing their dreams?"
Under the League's deliberate propaganda, almost all young people who want to become trainers are eager to venture out.
Because the wild has everything.
Wealth,精灵 (Pokémon), miracles…
The vast wilderness and秘境 (secret realms) can accommodate everyone's dreams.
Ike said softly: "For us civilians, going out to travel is a life-and-death gamble if we are not careful, but in order to strive for a better future, most civilians will not choose to be careful, otherwise they would not choose to travel."
If it weren't for taking care of his younger siblings, he would also choose to travel.
As a trainer, staying in one place is destined to accomplish nothing.
Because they are civilians, staying in one place means they can't access the knowledge of the upper class, nor can they encounter accidents, and accidents are often accompanied by danger and opportunity.
"In that case, why doesn't your League ban this kind of thing?" Wei couldn't help but ask.
Lu Li interjected: "Because it can't be banned, and it shouldn't be banned."
If ordinary people want to achieve class mobility in this world, the only way is to become a powerful trainer.
And in this world, the only way for ordinary people to become powerful trainers is to travel and see if they can find their own opportunities.
If you ban ordinary people from traveling, it is equivalent to completely封禁 (seal off) the upward channel for ordinary people.
Although there are universities in this world, those ordinary精灵 (Pokémon) universities really don't have much resources, and those top universities are not places that ordinary people can考进去 (get into).
Most importantly, as a trainer, the knowledge that needs to be learned is actually quite small. Trainer is a profession where talent is more important than hard work.
As long as the trainer's talent is outstanding enough, then equipping them with a breeder can make up for all shortcomings.
This is also why so many people embark on the journey without hesitation.
Trainers who have just received精灵 (Pokémon) always feel that their talent is amazing, and that they will be the one who stands out from thousands of ordinary people.
It's human nature!
"Every year, at least 10 million trainers travel. It is worth it even if only one or two天王 (Elite Four/Champion level trainers) emerge from these 10 million people, and the others die," Lu Li said expressionlessly, describing the cruelty of this world.
In this extraordinary world, ordinary people are sometimes just a string of bloody data.
A天王 (Elite Four/Champion level trainer)-level trainer is equivalent to a walking nuclear bomb. Like Qingyun City, before Yu Zhonggang became a天王 (Elite Four/Champion level trainer), a天王 (Elite Four/Champion level trainer) trainer could directly destroy the city.
And the population of Qingyun City alone, just counting the Qingyun City urban area, is more than 2 million.
Wei was silent, and then looked at Ike with some pity.
If it weren't for Lu Li, she might have chosen to travel in the end, and then died silently in some corner.
Wei knew her character. In order to become stronger, she would definitely venture into the wild at that time.
Unlike now…
Thinking of this, Wei couldn't help but gently touch the three精灵球 (Poké Balls) hanging on her waist.
Putting aside the Kubfu for the time being, just the Machop and the Chimchar alone were enough for her to be completely loyal to Lu Li.
Especially the Chimchar, which is almost the luxury of all civilians.
Now she can happily live in a luxury villa and enjoy the best resources, all of which Lu Li gave her.
"So, after saying so much, are you willing to sell your life to me?" Lu Li asked with a serious expression.
Ike looked at Lu Li extremely seriously and said: "My life is still useful, but I am willing to be loyal to you, and not betray you."
Lu Li asked again: "I will put a special咒印 (curse mark) in your brain. As long as you betray me, this咒印 (curse mark) will take your life. Are you still willing now?"
"Come on!"
Ike nodded with a brave face.
Although Lu Li didn't say the specific benefits, Wei had told him before he came.
In just two months, the other party had found Machop and Chimchar for Wei, especially Chimchar, which is a starter精灵 (Pokémon)!
Not to mention the daily resources. Wei said that her精灵 (Pokémon) are fed the best energy cubes every day. Ike had never dared to imagine such a configuration before.
Because until now, his Poochyena had only eaten energy cubes twice.
Ike didn't dare to奢望 (expect) more. He only needed his benefits to be half as good as Wei's, even 1/3 would do, and if that didn't work, 1/10 would be fine.
Lu Li put the咒印 (curse mark) on Ike.
"From now on, you are my confidant," Lu Li said in a serious manner.
Lu Li didn't plan to put咒印 (curse marks) on Ike's two companions. After all, this kind of咒印 (curse mark) is not something that just anyone is worthy of.
Of course, Ike's two companions will definitely not be able to enjoy Ike's benefits.
"From now on, I will provide your精灵 (Pokémon) with the best quality energy cubes, a secret energy cube unique to our family.
The effect of this energy cube is far greater than those top-level energy cubes on the market. Secondly, there is the issue of salary. Wei doesn't get a salary. She usually asks me for money when she needs it.
But you are different. Considering that you still have to raise a group of younger siblings, I can give you a salary of 10,000 per month."
Lu Li paused after saying this, and then quietly looked at Ike's reaction.
There was no dissatisfaction on Ike's face, only gratitude.
Lu Li was quite satisfied with Ike's reaction, and then continued: "Finally, there is the精灵 (Pokémon) problem. You should be planning to take the Dark-type path, right?"
Ike nodded quickly, his face full of excitement.
He had already guessed what Lu Li was going to say next.
Excited heart, trembling hands.
Forcibly suppressing the urge to bow his head, Ike said: "Although there are no starter精灵 (Pokémon) in the Dark-type, I firmly believe in the power of the Dark-type."
Lu Li nodded. The Dark-type's reputation in the eighteen major types is not very good, but no one has ever questioned the power of the Dark-type.
"If you choose to take the Dark-type path, then I will prepare your next精灵 (Pokémon). What精灵 (Pokémon) egg do you want?" Lu Li asked directly.
After speaking, Lu Li added: "By the way, there is something I have to科普 (popularize knowledge about) for you. The Dark-type does have starter精灵 (Pokémon). Greninja is the unique starter精灵 (Pokémon) of the Yamato region."
Ike's eyes lit up when he heard this, and his face was full of the word "want".
"I can't get a Greninja精灵 (Pokémon) egg," Lu Li directly shattered Ike's dream.
He might still be able to think of a way for Froakie, but he really couldn't get a Froakie精灵 (Pokémon) egg.
Ike said: "Then Houndour. Or Sandile is fine too."
Lu Li nodded.
These two精灵 (Pokémon) are not珍稀 (rare)精灵 (Pokémon). Although they are relatively uncommon, their final base stats are pretty good.
Any精灵 (Pokémon) whose base stats can break 500 is quite good.
Lu Li also arranged: "As for accommodation, I will have someone rebuild Golden Rooster Village in a few days. At that time, it will be considered a staff dormitory, and you can live there with your younger siblings."
Ike nodded.
"Also, you should try to pay attention to those children. This place is close to the Qingyun Mountains, and the wild is still very dangerous," Lu Li also urged.
Naughty children can do anything. Lu Li is also giving a "preventive shot" in advance, so as not to have something happen and he has to take the blame.
"Yes, I will take good care of them. They will definitely not leave the scope of Golden Rooster Village," Ike quickly assured.
In this way, Lu Li can be considered to have gained another general.
Ike's trainer talent is definitely not bad. Even if he can't compare to those top geniuses, his talent is at least on par with Lian Sheyi.
If the resources can keep up, with a little training, Ike will definitely have the资质 (potential) to become a天王 (Elite Four/Champion level trainer) in the future.
Of course,天王 (Elite Four/Champion level trainer)资质 (potential) and天王 (Elite Four/Champion level trainer) are two different concepts. There are simply too many天王 (Elite Four/Champion level trainer)资质 (potential) that fall prematurely these days.
But as long as Ike can endure loneliness and is willing to苟 (develop secretly) here, Lu Li thinks the probability of him becoming a天王 (Elite Four/Champion level trainer) is still quite high.
Especially with the assistance of丹药 (elixirs), their精灵 (Pokémon) have almost no bottlenecks before天王 (Elite Four/Champion level trainer). When Ike and Wei and the others are promoted to天王 (Elite Four/Champion level trainer), then he can also develop势力 (power) externally.
After sending Ike away, Lu Li began to enter a state of learning again.
The Flying-type天王 (Elite Four/Champion level trainer)'s breeding notes still have a lot of干货 (valuable information). Lu Li even found a method for making a道具 (item) in it.
This is definitely a pleasant surprise.
"Those politicians at least still acted like humans, and didn't erase this recipe," Lu Li said with emotion, looking at the recipe in his hand.
Quick Claw Feather.
The effect of this道具 (item) is very interesting. After the精灵 (Pokémon) carries the Quick Claw Feather, it can increase the speed of releasing skills.
If used as a one-time consumable, the effect of the Quick Claw Feather is to increase the精灵 (Pokémon)'s base speed stat.
The Quick Claw Feather is among the highest-档 (grade) levels even among all精灵 (Pokémon)道具 (items).
It is conceivable how precious the production method of the Quick Claw Feather is. It can be said that the recipe can be completely used as the family's inherited craft.
After Lu Li closed the notebook, he once again感慨 (exclaimed with emotion): "Flying-type天王 (Elite Four/Champion level trainer) Ling Kong… is really generous!"
