The rewards for this competition are so amazing, which also means that more geniuses will participate, after all, that is a reward that even quasi-gods and Heavenly King trainers would covet.
Lu Li had just finished reading the rewards when Yu Lili's phone call came.
"Lu Li! Quick, look at the official website for the college entrance exam competition!"
Yu Lili's excited voice came from the phone, and even through the phone, Lu Li could tell Yu Lili's mood at this time.
Lu Li calmly replied, "I just looked at it, I've already been excited."
Hearing this, Yu Lili was stunned for a moment, but this did not affect her mood. Yu Lili then revealed another bombshell:
"Quasi-god! The rewards for the top three are the same as the rewards for the Heavenly King Challenge. Now many dojo apprentices have decided to participate in this year's college entrance exam competition."
"So will you participate?" Lu Li asked with a smile.
Yu Lili nodded and said, "Of course, although the Water type doesn't have a quasi-god, the choice of any of the three starters is still very attractive. Even if I can't get into the top three, it shouldn't be a big problem to get into the top ten, right?"
Lu Li didn't discourage her. Yu Lili does have a chance to enter the top ten, and there are quite a few Water-type starters. For Yu Lili, entering the top ten is equivalent to getting into the top three. Yu Lili definitely has no hope for the championship or anything.
Not to mention anything else, just that reserve Ideal Envoy is an insurmountable hurdle for ordinary trainers.
However, if those dojo apprentices also participate, then the competition for the college entrance exam for精灵 might become more intense, and whether Yu Lili can get into the top ten is also uncertain.
After getting excited, Yu Lili also took the initiative to ask, "Do you have confidence in winning the championship?"
"If we look at the previous competitions, I should be sure of winning the championship, but now I'm not so sure," Lu Li didn't speak too definitively.
His initial Pokémon, Tropius, is already Elite level. He can completely be said to be smurfing. In two months, even if those young masters from wealthy families use secret treasures to pile up, it will be difficult to pile up their Pokémon to Elite level.
This is also Lu Li's confidence.
As the saying goes, anything can happen. Lu Li can't guarantee that he will be the biggest cheater. There are really a lot of people cheating in this world.
"It's good that you have confidence. I'll cheer you on then," Yu Lili encouraged.
"Then thank you in advance." Lu Li then asked with a smile, "What level is your Squirtle at now?"
"Late stage of Ordinary level, and my turtle has also learned the secret technique of the Water Wave Dojo. I'll definitely surprise you then," Yu Lili proudly flaunted.
Hearing this, Lu Li also asked in surprise, "Late stage of Ordinary level? Did you use a Pokémon secret treasure on Squirtle?"
It's no wonder Lu Li asked so much. Charmander cheated and only reached late stage of Ordinary level. Even if Squirtle is a month ahead of Charmander, it's impossible to suddenly reach late stage of Ordinary level, right?
Yu Lili explained with a smile, "No, Turtle Turtle advanced with the help of the teacher."
In this world, there are requirements for the use of any Pokémon secret treasure.
The same type of Pokémon secret treasure cannot be used repeatedly, so trainers generally use Pokémon secret treasures in the later stages, rather than using them early on.
The normal way to use Pokémon secret treasures is to break through bottlenecks, such as Elite level to Gym Leader, Ordinary level to Elite level.
As for Gym Leader to Heavenly King?
That kind of bottleneck cannot be broken through with Pokémon secret treasures.
"Alright." Lu Li nodded and didn't ask what method Squirtle used to break through to late stage of Ordinary level.
Lu Li, who was in the mood to find a topic to chat about, then asked, "Is there still enough Beauty Elixir?"
"I still have a little bit here. I can make it after your college entrance exam competition is over. Your main priority now is to prepare for the college entrance exam. I'm not in a hurry," Yu Lili earnestly urged.
If Lu Li delays the college entrance exam because of refining Beauty Elixir for her, Yu Lili feels that she might feel guilty for the rest of her life.
"Okay." Lu Li accepted the suggestion and then asked, "By the way, do you know anything about Ho-Oh?"
"You saw that news too," Yu Lili asked excitedly. Water Wave City is quite close to Gudu City, so Yu Lili did pay special attention to Ho-Oh's matter.
Yu Lili glanced around guiltily, and after discovering that no one was paying attention to her, she whispered, "Let me tell you, don't spread it out, it is said that Ho-Oh has already determined the Rainbow Hero, and now the forces of the entire Kyushu region are looking for that Rainbow Hero."
"Understood."
Lu Li chatted with Yu Lili for a while before hanging up the phone.
The Rainbow Hero was actually born, born at a time when the War of Truth is about to begin, which makes people wonder if the end is near.
You must know that in the previous destructions of several eras, there were only struggles between two divine beasts. If three level one gods appear in the same era, it is definitely a hell-level doomsday.
The Rainbow Hero actually appeared. According to Ho-Oh's nature in the anime, this Rainbow Hero must be a rookie trainer, maybe even a rookie with a super physique. The most important thing is that the other party should be a traveler.
Those who have watched anime know that Ho-Oh prefers the "single-celled" rookie trainers who travel.
Of course, these characteristics can only be used as a reference.
However, Lu Li kept this matter in his heart. If he encounters such a trainer in the future, he can consider befriending them.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Li went to inspect the orchard again.
In just one night, those budding flowers began to bloom. At this rate, the berries in the orchard will soon bear fruit.
Lu Li felt that he would be able to harvest the first batch of berries after the college entrance exam competition.
Calculating the time, from sowing to fruiting, it only takes one and a half months.
Is this time short?
It can be said to be ridiculously short.
You must know that it takes three months from sowing to harvesting for Watmel Berry, and this is already the fastest maturing精灵 plant.
Moreover, Watmel Berry is a grain, and berries are fruit trees. There is a world of difference between the two.
This cheat seems to be a bit big.
Lu Li suddenly regretted agreeing to Yao Yifei's request to let the Bee Queen live in. Yao Yifei will definitely discover this abnormality. This kind of thing can't be treated as if it didn't happen just because the other party doesn't ask.
Lu Li's eyes flickered. Yao Yifei is a collateral relative of the Yao family. Although Yao Yifei is considered to have left the family, there is still contact.
He is not worried that after Yao Yifei discovers this secret, she will tell this secret to the Yao family behind her.
So the most important thing now is to determine Yao Yifei's attitude towards the Yao family.
If it is like Yekaterina towards the family, then he has to consider the issue of confidentiality.
In the direction closer to the Sprite Mountain Range, Lu Li found the Bee Queen who had already completed her nest building on the wall.
The Bee Queen did not build her nest on the tree, but built her nest underground.
Lu Li was quite puzzled by this. Combee is benchmarked against bees in nature, and bees generally build nests on the ground. They never build nests underground.
Shouldn't building nests underground be the patent of Ground-type Pokémon?
Seeing that Yao Yifei was there, Lu Li also said the doubts in his heart.
Yao Yifei listened and explained with a smile: "The underground is safer than the ground, and the Bee Queen is reluctant to build nests on these trees, after all, these trees are still growing rapidly.
If the Bee Queen builds nests on the trees, it will affect the growth of the fruit trees, and after all, this is not the wild, there is not much difference between the ground and the underground."
After explaining, Yao Yifei said meaningfully: "However, compared to my Bee Queen living underground, I think you should worry about another thing."
Lu Li looked at Yao Yifei curiously.
"I found another secret of yours." Yao Yifei said with a smile.
Before Lu Li could speak, Yao Yifei said to herself: "There are actually two rare fruit trees in the orchard, one of which is actually a Sandile Berry tree, and it was even planted not long ago. As far as I know, even advanced berry planters can't grow Sandile Berry trees, right?"
After Yao Yifei finished speaking, she looked at Lu Li slyly, looking like please start your performance.
However, the panic that Yao Yifei wanted to see did not appear on Lu Li's face. Instead, he smiled and asked, "So what does Gym Leader Yao want to say? Let me admit that I have master-level planting skills?"
Yao Yifei: "…"
Yao Yifei threatened cheaply: "I mean, I'm actually quite short of Sandile Berries, Lu Li, you don't want the Sandile Berry tree to be discovered by others, right?"
Lu Li: "…"
"As a friend who is always perverted, please stop being disgusting." Lu Li pretended to be disgusted.
Yao Yifei's appearance is indeed a bit like the classic dialogue in some action movies.
Lu Li, with his arms crossed, stared at the other party with unwavering eyes, "Sandile Berries can be given to you, but what is the price? What price can you pay for this?"
Yao Yifei pretended to be aggrieved and complained: "Isn't giving you a bodyguard enough?"
"This is a task assigned to you by the higher-ups, it's two different things." Lu Li didn't buy it. The beauty's shyness is indeed full of charm, but compared to beauty, benefits are more important.
Seeing Lu Li ignore her charm, Yao Yifei asked helplessly, "So what do you want to get from me?"
Lu Li said: "First of all, confidentiality, everything here must be kept in your heart."
"Okay, this request is not excessive." Yao Yifei nodded, she didn't want to say this in the first place, this request can't be considered a request at all.
"Then… I need a channel that can supply me with steel for a long time." Lu Li said again.
As a globally renowned Coordinator, Yao Yifei can crush the Yu family and Jin family in terms of connections.
The Jin family is unreliable, so Lu Li can only find other ways.
Yekaterina's family is far away in another alliance. Even if Yekaterina is willing to help, Lu Li will not accept it, after all, the transportation cost is too high.
Yao Yifei was thoughtful, although it's good for Lu Li to ask for so much steel, Yao Yifei didn't ask too much.
After a while, Yao Yifei agreed, "I can introduce you to a long-term and stable steel supply channel, but you have to pay for the steel yourself, don't think about sister paying for you."
Yao Yifei didn't know how much steel Lu Li needed, so she didn't take on this matter completely.
Lu Li also nodded. With the steel matter resolved, the next thing is…
"Have you heard of Unown?" Lu Li asked.
"What are you looking for Unown for? That kind of Pokémon can't be captured, and it has no capture value." Yao Yifei looked at Lu Li suspiciously.
In this world, except for those researchers who specialize in ancient ruins, ordinary people are not interested in Unown.
Unown is not strong, nor does it look good, and it has no functionality. Except for being strangely shaped, it has almost no advantages.
This is the general perception of Unown by the world, except for ancient ruins researchers.
Even Psychic-type Pokémon are ignored, and it is precisely because of this that Yao Yifei is curious about Lu Li's purpose.
"Don't worry about so much, just tell me if you know." Lu Li urged.
Although she didn't know what Lu Li was looking for Unown for, Yao Yifei told the truth about the information about Unown.
"I have heard of Unown. They are generally active in various ancient ruins. If you want to find Unown, I suggest you go to Gudu."
Hearing Yao Yifei's words, Lu Li raised his eyebrows.
Finally found information about Unown, and the authenticity of this information is quite high.
If I remember correctly, Ho-Oh also appeared in Gudu…
Lu Li doesn't want to go to Gudu during this time period, because due to that news, almost the whole world's attention is focused on that city.
Seeing Lu Li's indifferent appearance, Yao Yifei continued to explain: "There are six secret realms near Gudu. Each of those secret realms has a long-standing ruin. If you want to find Unown, then I suggest you go to those secret realms to find them. The probability of Unown appearing in the real world is lower than the probability of divine beasts appearing."
It seems that I have to go to Gudu after the college entrance exam.
Lu Li silently added a new plan to his itinerary.
"After the college entrance exam competition, I want to study those Unown. During this period, you still have to protect me." Lu Li took the opportunity to ask.
He is just purely researching Unown. It doesn't matter to have a Gym Leader-level bodyguard by his side, and doing so his safety can be guaranteed.
"Okay, what other requirements are there?" Yao Yifei asked.
Lu Li said: "I can sell Sandile Berries to you at market price. As for the specific quantity, it depends on the result."
"No problem." Yao Yifei nodded. She is not short of money. Being able to exchange money for Sandile Berries is definitely the best.
This can also be regarded as solving the problem of the fruit trees growing too fast. It doesn't matter if Yao Yifei knows, the other party's strength is not strong, if there is any malicious intent, it is not that he can't resist.
At that time, he can just shamelessly eat soft rice. After he has cultivated successfully, he will stage a king's return. Time is always on his side. As long as he doesn't waste himself to death, the winner will always be himself.
After confirming that there was no problem with the orchard, Lu Li went to the farm again.
The Watmel Berries sown the day before yesterday have already sprouted, and they are emerald green, looking very healthy.
When going to the farm, Lu Li also saw Ike who was leading people to inspect the farm.
Ike cares a lot about the newly reclaimed farm, because this is related to their future treatment.
Lu Li just roughly checked the situation of the farm.
Lu Li bent down, picked up a small clod of dirt, and lightly crushed it. Then, he smelled the dirt in his hand before discarding it. Turning to Ike, who was behind him with a notebook, Lu Li instructed, "Increase the daily watering from once to twice. The soil is a bit dry."
Ike nodded seriously and proactively asked, "Anything else to note?"
"Not at the moment," Lu Li replied, shaking his head.
With the buff from the farmland, Wangwang Valley was growing quite healthily, and there was nothing that needed changing.
