After Luotomu's introduction, everyone had a good understanding of Mu Li's home.
Mu Li later also gave them a simple tour of the lake where Tapu Fini used to live, which was almost the entirety of the area Mu Li currently resided in.
It must be said that for young people, Mu Li's home might have fewer entertainment facilities, but for people of Director Ling and Zhu Yuping's age, it was simply a paradise for retirement.
Drinking tea, chatting, watching TV, and fishing every day, and even being able to go down the mountain for a walk in their leisure time—such a life was simply too healthy.
However, for Chichi, he thought it was a good place to quiet down, perfect for a vacation, but if he stayed longer, he couldn't bear it.
After all, it was too far from the city, and living there made everything from work to education or other needs troublesome; even takeout had to be picked up by a Pokémon from the city, which was indeed very inconvenient.
For the current Mu Li, farm life was indeed not very convenient, which was also the reason he decided to move to Modu.
After showing Director Ling and the other two around the entire farm, the four sat in the farm's courtyard drinking tea and chatting.
The topic of conversation naturally revolved around Mu Li, and Chichi also heard a lot of Mu Li's past gossip from Director Ling and Zhu Yuping.
"A Li, you have several variety shows preparing to go online recently, right?" Chichi suddenly remembered that besides Wu Ha, Mu Li's other variety shows should also be going online soon.
As soon as this was mentioned, Mu Li felt as if it were a lifetime ago.
"It should be within these two weeks," Mu Li thought, "It suddenly feels like I've recorded so many shows, and they're all going online at once.
"Vocal Creation Chapter" is airing the episode I recorded this week, "I Live Alone" has also aired its third episode, which should be the one where I met Fei Ge, and "Wonderful Life" has also started airing its first episode."
"Plus Wu Ha airing its South Island arc, it seems you're suddenly dominating most of the mainstream variety shows!" Chichi couldn't help but exclaim, "After the ripple effect of these shows, I estimate everyone will know you."
"What? A Li, you also recorded other shows?" Director Ling asked curiously.
"I'm going to be a singer after all," Mu Li said, "The 'Idol Project' I recorded before also officially started airing last week."
"Haha, I watched it too." As soon as this was mentioned, Chichi immediately showed a mischievous smile, "You and Pei Pei truly don't hide anything."
"What do you mean..." Mu Li said helplessly, "After the show aired, no one even noticed us, okay?"
"That's right, everyone's attention was drawn to you and Wang Yijia." Chichi said with a mischievous smile, "There are already CP fans of you two on Weibo, saying you two are too sweet."
"Wang Yijia? Who is that?" Director Ling asked curiously.
Chichi mischievously explained Wang Yijia and Fu Peiyao to Director Ling and Zhu Yuping, and briefly described their relationship with Mu Li.
Director Ling seemed very concerned about Mu Li's affairs, especially when he heard about Fu Peiyao, his eyes grew brighter and brighter: "A Li, your parents aren't in the country, when will you bring Pei Pei to my house for a meal?"
Mu Li couldn't help but roll his eyes and say, "What's that got to do with anything? We're just ordinary friends right now."
"Right, right, right, ordinary friends, ordinary friends." Director Ling was already laughing so hard he couldn't close his mouth, "But even ordinary friends can be brought home for a meal."
Mu Li didn't know what to say anymore: "If you're free, why don't you come with me to watch my previous variety shows? I've been so busy lately that I haven't had time to watch them yet."
The three of them had nothing else to do, so they accompanied Mu Li into the room.
However, Mu Li's Pokémon, upon hearing that they were going to watch Mu Li's variety show, all ran over to join in the fun.
"Haven't you all seen it already? Why are you coming for a second watch?" Mu Li looked at everyone helplessly, but seeing their concern for his show, he felt a little touched inside.
Regarding the content of "Idol Project," everyone didn't have much interest in the show itself; they mainly watched Mu Li's performance in it.
"Director Ling, look, that girl inside is Fu Peiyao." The very beginning of the screen showed Fu Peiyao and others gathering in the dance studio.
Mu Li couldn't help but twitch his mouth: The production team even recorded these things.
Everyone mainly watched Mu Li's process of training his limbs, as well as the final performance.
"I have to say, A Li, your limbs don't seem as good as mine." Chichi mocked, "You should learn from Fei Ge, that guy, he didn't really learn to dance, but when he dances, even professional dancers admire him; he just focuses on being shameless."
Mu Li could only try his best to remain calm: If you saw me summoning Ho-Oh with my dance, wouldn't you laugh like crazy?
After a quick look at the content of "Idol Project," everyone started watching "I Live Alone."
When the show aired Mu Li's segment, there was also a simple self-introduction.
This part of the content was also recorded before the show.
Unlike other celebrities, most of whom were accompanied by their parents or friends and family for the opening recording, Mu Li was all alone.
The large villa in Modu did not make Mu Li's home seem more lively; instead, it appeared even more desolate.
If it weren't for the company of numerous Pokémon, Mu Li would probably seem even lonelier.
Seeing this scene, Director Ling couldn't help but sigh, "You, child, why do you insist on going to Modu? Wouldn't it be better to come to Dijing? At least we are here in Dijing and can keep you company."
Mu Li also felt Director Ling's concern and quickly explained, "It's mainly for work convenience, and Fei Ge and Pei Pei are also in Modu."
Seeing that Director Ling still wanted to say something, Chichi quickly interjected, "You don't understand this, do you? If he went to Dijing, wouldn't he be far from his girlfriend?"
Director Ling was stunned, then burst into laughter: "That's right, that's right, Modu is good, being in Modu is good! Anyway, transportation is convenient now, it only takes a few hours to come to Dijing."
Mu Li rolled his eyes unhappily.
However, Mu Li soon saw Chichi's figure and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Fei Ge, you went to the observation room?"
Chichi smiled and said, "Of course, I had to be there to support you."
Mu Li also understood that Chichi must have participated out of consideration for him, but he didn't say any words of thanks; between men, some things don't need to be said.
In the first episode, Mu Li's style was completely different from the other four guests, mainly showcasing the various rare Pokémon in his home.
Regarding Mu Li's performance, the bullet screen was directly polarized.
One group thought Mu Li was quite interesting; not only did he have various Pokémon at home, but his interactions with them were also quite fun. And everyone also noticed that the Pokémon in Mu Li's home were quite strong.
The other group consisted of haters. From the moment Mu Li appeared, haters constantly filled the bullet comments. Most of the haters' content attacked Mu Li's family background, and such rumors also spread to Weibo.
Many people believed that Mu Li was just a rich second-generation who came to the entertainment industry to play around, and that he was able to debut in Wu Ha and become the theme song creator for "Idol Project" as soon as he arrived, clearly because his family invested a lot of resources.
These rumors were even seen a bit when watching "Idol Project" before; some people said Mu Li was not qualified to write songs for "Idol Project," but most netizens were still relatively rational.
After all, it's quite common for rich second-generations to enter the entertainment industry nowadays, and since Mu Li hasn't done anything outrageous, most of the haters can only attack him by focusing on his family background and his disrespect towards seniors on Wu Ha.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that these are just excuses fabricated by haters for the sake of hating.
"But it's true that popularity brings trouble." Director Ling also sighed with emotion, "When the National Team lost in a competition before, they also faced overwhelming online bullying, but fortunately, everyone's psychological resilience was strong enough that they weren't affected."
"Haters, they're everywhere, unavoidable." Mu Li was quite open-minded, "I once saw a news report about Ortans, the world's number one Pokémon trainer, getting a speeding ticket from the police in the city, and even that small incident had haters complaining, saying things like, 'How can a world-class trainer get a speeding ticket?' Do they think that having power means you can do whatever you want? You don't know whether to call them naive or ridiculous."
"Either they've read too many novels about Dragon Kings descending, or they're just minors," Chichi chuckled, "They haven't experienced society, they lack social experience, so it's natural for them to be like that, nothing surprising. But with your experience, these comments shouldn't affect you."
Mu Li shrugged, "Just treat it as a joke."
Once the topic of haters came up, the four of them had too many things to complain about, and their complaints continued until dark.
After nightfall, the few who had gone to train returned, looking grimy.
Upon returning, they didn't even speak; they simply showered and went straight to bed.
"What did you two take them to do? Why are they so exhausted?" Mu Li asked curiously.
Dragonite pouted, showing a cute expression: "I don't know either, we just had a few fights."
Mu Li's mouth twitched: "Take it easy, don't scare them off, or you'll know it when no one comes to play with you anymore."
"Whatever, they're not durable anyway." Dragonite spread his hands, indicating, 'do as you please.'
"Oh? Is that what you said?" Mu Li also pretended to be indifferent, "Next time I'll take them to the Volcano area; anyway, the guys there are all idle, they can train just the same."
"No!" Dragonite said indignantly, "What do those Pokémon who stay in the volcano all day know? If they have the guts, let them come for a one-on-one, and I'll beat the crap out of them."
Giratina didn't speak, just kept nodding.
Mu Li said helplessly, "I'm really fed up with you two."
However, Director Ling and Zhu Yuping seemed very satisfied with this training intensity: "This kind of training, where you're exhausted but your brain isn't hurt, is simply the best."
Not to mention Yan Jin and the others, Chichi's Blastoise, who was only trained incidentally, was also dog-tired.
Out of curiosity, Chichi also followed them to train for a day the next day, and after returning, he never mentioned wanting to watch the training again.
When Yan Jin and the others woke up, they were dragged away again by Dragonite and Giratina.
