So charming, you want me to raise Pokémon?

Chapter 292 Crimson Sun: Whose problem is this?

The atmosphere at the airport was tense.

Only after the three people behind him stepped onto the airport ground did Wei Xin withdraw his aura. After a brief moment of thought, he decided to let Chi Ri go and took out a Poké Ball.

"Gardedoll, come back first."

Before Team Galactic caused trouble, Sun was a well-known entrepreneur in Sinnoh, and could even be considered a philanthropist.

If the leader of the Galactic Team were to get into trouble in the Eastern Empire, it would cause serious diplomatic problems. And those fanatical believers who have been fooled by the Red Sun, who knows what crazy things they might do after losing their only leader.

Therefore, Wei Xin will not take action against Chi Ri before Chi Ri takes action in Donghuang.

He hopes to resolve the issue peacefully, if the other party is willing.

The man from the Crimson Sun was stunned. Wei Xin's pupils burned for only a moment, but it made him feel as if he had emerged from a dark mine and stared directly at the sun without any protection. When he came to his senses, he realized that a dragon had suddenly rushed in front of him and was angrily breathing scorching heat at him.

The dragon's anger wasn't because he had done anything heinous; it was because he saw a face when he woke up, which displeased him greatly, as if to say, "It's not your fault you're ugly, but it's wrong of you to come out and scare people."

It's completely unreasonable, but as the saying goes, if they destroy you, what does it have to do with you?

When he came to his senses, Chi Ri realized that the lining of his suit jacket was clinging to his body and soaked with sweat.

The subtle atmosphere between the two made Uncle Long feel that something was wrong. Wei Xin's Pokémon jumped out of the ball, and Chi Ri put his hands on his waist, like two Western gunmen fighting each other.

He squinted, wondering if there was some kind of love-hate relationship between the two, or perhaps they were business rivals. But out of professional ethics, he could only try to smooth things over and prevent them from fighting.

Do you two know each other?

Chi Ri remained silent, racking his brains to try and find information about the person in front of him. He didn't know how to answer. He didn't usually pay attention to these things and regretted not bringing Mars with him when he went out. He usually left these information-finding tasks to his secretary.

"It felt like we'd known each other forever."

With a friendly smile, Wei Xin broke the awkward atmosphere and extended his right hand: "Leader of Team Galactic in the Sinnoh region, I've long admired your name."

"I should say president. The title 'head' makes me sound like the leader of an evil organization," Chi Ri could only extend his hand, taking the opportunity Wei Xin offered, squinting his eyes and wearing a standard business smile, "I haven't yet asked for your name, sir."

"Not exactly famous, just an ordinary student from Donghuang, Wei Xin," he added, "currently a freshman."

"That's what it means to be young and accomplished."

Chi Ri loosened his grip and praised from the bottom of his heart. The three people who landed behind Wei Xin were a Sinnoh Champion, a Padilla Champion, the second daughter of Rotom Corporation, and a person who looked eight parts like Professor Padilla. At first glance, you could tell that they were the children of the two professors.

The person who leads these three is definitely not "ordinary".

"Mr. Red Sun, I didn't expect you to come to Donghuang too," Cynthia turned to look at Uncle Long beside her, who looked like he had stepped out of an adventure book, and asked in surprise, "When did you become interested in archaeology?"

"Just providing technical support," Chi Ri said with a laugh.

"I see," Cynthia said without suspicion, turning to look at Wei Xin. "Why did you suddenly unleash such a terrifying aura just now?"

"I saw the shadow of an old friend in Mr. Chi Ri," Wei Xin said.

An old friend? Hilona thought Wei Xin must have misspoke; that aura clearly indicated an enemy.

"Ah, it's Hunter J!" Nemo said abruptly.

Upon hearing this, Cynthia glanced at Akari's head and noticed that Akari's smile was forced and his face didn't look like a good person from any angle. Also, the light blue weeds on his head looked quite similar to Hunter J. She tried hard to suppress her laughter.

"That's incredibly rude," Piper criticized Nemo's behavior, then whispered in her ear, "Mr. Red Sun is the biggest entrepreneur in the Sinnoh region, and he's participated in many charitable activities. How can you lump him in with Pokémon hunters?"

Chi Ri remained silent. What happened to the expert team that was supposed to be parachuted in? He didn't sense a trace of professionalism from the four of them. They seemed more like a teacher taking three students on vacation to the construction site. No, it should be students taking their teacher and classmates on vacation.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Akari." Knowing she had said the wrong thing, Nemo bowed her head and apologized.

"It's alright, my subordinates often tease me like that too," Akari said in an approachable manner. "You all must be tired, why don't you put your luggage down first?"

The six men went outside, but what awaited them was not a luxury car, but a large bread truck, big enough to fit a whole load of bread, people, and tools, with mud still clinging to its lower half.

"Is a bread truck the only option?" Uncle Long asked, getting into the driver's seat.

"It's alright, we're here to do business, not to enjoy ourselves."

Wei Xin placed the large and small bags and suitcases on the bread cart, started the cart, and drove it through the streets of Shaanxi.

"So, are we going straight to the archaeological site to start work next?" Nemo gazed at the bustling traffic outside the window, eager to try.

"No, we're going to the hotel. We won't work tonight. In fact, archaeological work is usually done during the day. At night, everyone usually eats, sings karaoke, and does some entertainment. Then, the next morning, after breakfast, a group of people get in a van and go to the construction site to dig for a day. Then, in the evening, we do some group entertainment," Uncle Long said.

"But aren't we an archaeological advance team? And we can't see the sun from underground in the tomb," Nemo said.

"But underground tombs are extremely dangerous, especially these special imperial tombs. We have no idea what kind of traps or mechanisms might be inside. In fact, before you arrived, the excavation work on site was nearing completion, and we are currently testing the exploration equipment used to go deeper into the tomb," Chi Ri said.

"Wei Xin, what are you looking at?" Shirona asked, puzzled, after seeing the usually talkative Wei Xin staring intently out the window without saying a word after getting into the car.

"I was thinking about the essay questions in the test paper you gave me before," Wei Xin said.

"An essay question?" Cynthia asked, puzzled. "A question about the creation myth."

"Yes, I seem to have forgotten to write about Arceus creating the world with his mind."

With too many papers to grade, Shirona couldn't recall Wei Xin's answers and said, "It's okay, the answer key will be graded on a point-by-point basis, and you won't lose points for missing a single sentence."

"Isn't the idea that the world is created by the mind an unproven theory?" Chi Ri suddenly blurted out, as if a materialist had encountered an idealist.

"That's not necessarily true. My textbooks are based on the contents of the Sinnoh Relic Tablets."

"Textbooks and slates are written by people, and no one can guarantee that the information on them is accurate," Chi Ri retorted.

"But you have no evidence to prove it's wrong. At least in terms of the creation myth theory, I have more authority to speak on this. The mind is undoubtedly the foundation of the world's structure," Cynthia retorted.

"But my men are all scientists. They have more say in the truth of the world. Unless you can bring Arceus here and let it confront me face to face," Chi Ri said, getting a little anxious.

"Maybe he thinks you're not worthy to listen and is too lazy to explain, since you wouldn't believe him anyway," Cynthia said coldly.

Unable to win the argument against Cynthia, Akari silently clenched his fists.

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing, Wei Xin quickly interrupted, "I was just joking. Who would be thinking about exams when they're out?"

Chi Ri nearly coughed up blood. He and Cynthia were arguing so fiercely they were about to fight. You're telling me this is a joke? What's the difference between this and knocking on someone's door and then running away?

That's so unethical.

Wei Xin changed his tune: "Actually, I was wondering if this expedition would be disrupted by some villainous organization that suddenly appeared, or if a few villains would suddenly launch an attack and blow up the axle of the bread truck."

"Why did they attack us?" Chi Ri asked疑惑地. "What do we have that they would covet?"

"I was just joking." Wei Xin glanced at Chi Ri through the rearview mirror. If Chi Ri had telepathy, he would have heard Wei Xin cursing him as an old fox in his mind.

"Perhaps the attack will happen after we come out of the ruins. Who knows what strange, magically powerful items are in the ruins? What do you think, Mr. Dragon? That's how you write your adventure stories."

"Actually, my storybooks contain a lot of artistic embellishment," Uncle Long said.

Pipa and Shirona blinked, sensing that there seemed to be something hidden in Wei Xin and Chi Ri's conversation.

"Don't worry, no organization would be stupid enough to risk being hunted down by Donghuang by causing trouble on this land," Chi Ri joked. "Even if they escaped to other regions, it wouldn't matter; the risks are too great."

"High risk means high reward," Wei Xin said, his tone like that of a villain about to cause trouble. "One general's success is built on the bones of ten thousand. If someone is willing to risk making an enemy of an entire region, it means their goal is far more than just one region. Perhaps—"

Wei Xin paused for a moment, and when he spoke again, his voice was filled with chilling ambition and ideals.

"It is the whole world."

"A whole world, that sounds really nice," Akari said happily.

"Sorry," Wei Xin smiled awkwardly, then changed his words, "It was just something I felt compelled to say, but please pretend I didn't."

"

"I understand. I went through a similar period when I was young. It's a good thing for young people to have ideals. In fact, I admire people with ideals the most," Akari chimed in. "It's a pity you're only a freshman now, otherwise I would definitely invite you to work at Sinnoh."

"That's great!" Wei Xin said with a smile, as if a college graduate who couldn't find a suitable job had found a boss who could make empty promises, but inwardly he sighed.

Akari did not emit any aura of appreciation.

Old Deng is putting on an acting show with himself.

Wei Xin's actions aroused the suspicion of Xilona and Pipa. With Wei Xin's resume, he would never lack work. If he just shouted on the street that he didn't want to work hard, a group of hungry people would hand him postcards, and some would even ask him if he was free tonight.

How could they possibly accept the olive branch offered by the scorching sun?

Even a turtle shouldn't look at a mung bean like that, let alone Wei Xin, who doesn't even look like a mung bean.

Wei Xin's performance tonight was clearly problematic, but it's also unlikely that Wei Xin is the problem. They've known Wei Xin for so long, don't they know what kind of person he is?

If Wei Xin were to slap someone on the street, it would definitely mean that the person being slapped has a problem.

Therefore, they concluded that the problem lay with the red sun.
