Chapter 282 Receive the Reward, Kikuno’s Gift!
The real bird saw the shock in Mingzheng's eyes and couldn't help but be curious.
"Do you know the Red Lotus Research Institute?"
Mingzheng nodded and said half-truthfully: "I've heard a few things. This research institute mainly studies Pokémon genes."
Zhentiao did not doubt it, nodded and continued: "The Red Lotus Research Institute is indeed a good choice. It currently has a very good reputation with the outside world. The head of the research institute, Xia Bo, is the boss's confidant. This cannot be told to others."
She looked at Mingzheng, obviously saying this is a secret, but I still told you.
"Ahem~ Let's continue. What other options does the boss give?"
Mingzheng avoided the sight of the real bird, thinking that I might know more than you.
If nothing else happens, Xia Bo is now Boss Sakaki's sweetheart, and anyone who touches him will be the enemy of the entire Rockets.
"Second, sign with the Siruff Group in the Kanto region and become a star trainer. The boss promises that your freedom will not be lower than if you joined the Devon Group."
Mingzheng nodded. The second one was quite satisfactory, so he passed it first.
"The third one..." At this point, Zhenniao paused obviously, and then slowly said, "Maintain the status quo of cooperation with multiple parties, join the alliance regional representative team and continue undercover, the organization still will not make any mandatory arrangements for you. "
After hearing this choice, Mingzheng couldn't help but become curious.
Zhentiao looked as if he was like this, "I know you are interested in this, but this choice is also the most difficult. Even if you are the champion, you are not yet qualified to register."
"Expand and tell me."
"The alliance regional representative team, as the name suggests, represents the Elf Alliance in a certain region to compete in major events, that is, the official team!
The first mandatory condition for registration is to have at least six gym leader-level elves! "
Six? Mingzheng said it was okay, he was only two short.
"Tell me the good and the bad."
Zhentiao doesn't think Mingzheng will be restricted by hard conditions, but it's just a matter of time.
Just listen to her continue: "There are many benefits, such as high salary, large bonuses, high degree of freedom, and many professional teachers to guide you in training, including many king-level trainers.
Moreover, he can always check his face within the alliance without being as dangerous as a prosecutor.
However, there are also disadvantages. Each league regional representative team has a large number of players and is automatically divided into two groups and three tiers.
Among them, Group B is limited to the Hall Master level, and Group A is limited to the Quasi-King level.
Depending on the group, you can participate in different levels of competitions.
After joining, you need to slowly advance from the third echelon of Group B to the second and first place in Group B.
When you have six elves of quasi-king level, no matter which echelon you are in Group B at the time, you will be automatically promoted to the third echelon of Group A, and so on, and finally reach the first echelon of Group A.
Regardless of Group A or Group B, the third echelon is the reserve and the second echelon is the alternate. Only the first echelon is considered the main player and can represent the regional league.
So there is only one word in the early stage, endure!
But whether you can stand out ultimately depends on your personal strength. "
Mingzheng digested it silently and soon discovered Hua Dian.
"What should I do if there is a Hall Master-level elf in my lineup that suddenly transforms into a quasi-King-level elf, and there are only five Hall-Master-level elves left on hand? Can the quasi-King-level elf still participate?"
Zhenniao glanced at Mingzheng, "Although it will take some time for you to encounter this problem, I can tell you in advance.
If the transformation is completed on the spot, the game can continue, but it must be replaced before the start of the next game.
If the gym leader level is not enough, you can only use elites to make up for it. This is also a test of the depth of the trainer elf lineup.
Moreover, in the echelon grading competition within the team, the quasi-King level is not allowed to participate in the Group B gym leader grading competition. The problem of fluctuations in strength can only be solved by the trainers themselves. "
Mingzheng couldn't help but smacked his lips. In this way, a trainer has 12 elves, which is considered a small number.
If you want a higher fault tolerance rate, you have to have seventeen or eighty at least.
It’s no wonder that many trainers repeatedly train elves of the same type or attributes.
In fact, if you dabble in all attributes, one person's energy is limited, and it is easy to become unsustainable in the later stages, which will instead become a drag on the growth of the elves.
Moreover, the training methods of the alliance officials, groups, and research institutes are obviously different.
The former is like raising voodoos and selecting the best ones to compete.
Under the strict selection system, the selected contestants are strong and stable, and the honors they receive are naturally not bad, and they steadily represent the strength of the alliance.
The latter is targeted investment and training. Choosing a trainer is more like placing a bet. In the end, it depends on the performance of the players to make profits.
Well, it's very much like the difference between a national team and a club.
"I'll think about it again."
After pondering for a long time, Mingzheng did not make a decision immediately.
It’s not surprising that Zhen Niao will, after all, this is related to Mingzheng’s path choice for a long time in the future.
She had said everything she needed to say, and the rest was up to Mingzheng himself.
A night without words...
Early the next morning, Mingzheng packed up his luggage and officially left the player area, heading towards the Sinnoh League deeper in Suzuran Island.
Since he is participating in the Suzuran Tournament, Mingzheng will naturally receive some awards in the Sinnoh Alliance.
In front of the alliance building, Mingzheng saw an acquaintance again.
"Aunt?"
"Well, I'll take you to receive the award."
Kikuno smiled gently, looking at the energetic Mingzheng, he couldn't help but feel emotional.
What a good kid, why did he encounter those things?
However, she didn't show it and didn't want to make Mingzheng unhappy. She just led him to the material exchange center.
"Amin, the prizes for the champion of the competition are very selective. There are top-level training manuals, high-potential elf larvae, and high-quality elf props. However, I suggest you choose two of the prizes."
Ming Zheng's heart moved, and he immediately guessed that these two things might be good things that Kikuno helped him run.
"Auntie, tell me."
"Props - No. 237 Steel of Will, and cheats - No. 004 "Special Ability Development Manual". You can exchange the remaining points for whatever you want."
"Steel of Will!"
Mingzheng was shocked, he knew what the Steel of Will was.
In the rare ore sample box that Dawu gave himself, there are a few items that only have photo introductions and no samples.
Steel of Will is one of them!
The Steel of Will, also known as the Steel of Life, can permanently enhance the recovery and reshaping ability of a Steel Elf. A Steel Elf can only absorb it once in a lifetime, making it extremely rare.
"As long as you know its function, this good thing is worth redeeming."
Kikuno nodded, this was specially prepared for Ming Zheng's shiny metal monster.
In her opinion, the metal monster is undoubtedly one of the elves with the greatest potential in Mingzheng's team and deserves to be used for some good things.
Not to mention the "Special Ability Development Manual", which is obviously intended to help Mingzheng better develop his awakened special abilities.
I think this manual will explain the common principles of most special abilities, so Kikuno directly recommended Mingzheng without asking about his special abilities.
"Okay, thank you, auntie!"
Mingzheng did not reject Kikuno's kindness.
Instead of looking around like a headless fly, it is better to listen to the opinions of the elders. Among them, the steel of will is obviously not something that Mingzheng can exchange at will.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the material exchange center, and the staff immediately nodded respectfully after seeing Kikuno, with an expression like "I've done it all."
"Mr. Mingzheng, congratulations on winning this league competition!
You can select any item in the list whose total value does not exceed 500 contribution points, or a combination of items. "
The staff called up the electronic list and said respectfully.
Mingzheng hardly hesitated and quickly picked up the Steel of Will and the "Special Ability Development Manual" according to Kikuno's suggestion.
As soon as he finished selecting, these two items disappeared from the list, which was blatantly cunning.
The two items were worth a total of 400 contribution points, and Mingzheng only had 100 contribution points left.
"Can the contribution value be saved?"
Suddenly, Mingzheng asked curiously.
This time, the staff shook their heads decisively, even King Kikuno did not hesitate when he was around.
"You don't have an alliance establishment yet. I can't save it for you even if I want to. Please redeem it first."
Kikuno explained on the side, which was a relief to the staff.
"Okay, then I'll exchange it for another one...that's it!"
Mingzheng didn't hesitate. He used up the last 100 contribution points, got the corresponding reward, and left with Kikuno.
On the way, it was my aunt Kikuno who started the conversation.
"What are your next plans, should you choose Yamanashi Research Institute or Devon Group?"
Everyone could see that Ming Zheng had a good relationship with both parties, so they naturally thought so.
Mingzheng's heart moved, and he just remembered the last option Zhenniao mentioned last night.
"Auntie, what do you think if I work hard and directly participate in the selection of the league representative team?"
"Um?"
Kikuno stopped and turned to look at Mingzheng, with admiration in his eyes.
"Did you think so yourself?"
“I’ve talked to friends about the pros and cons of various options, and I’m more inclined to this one.”
Kikuno nodded and said with a smile: "In fact, the ultimate goal of most contracted trainers is to be selected for the league representative team.
Just because of lack of energy, insufficient funds, etc., they will go out to make quick money for two years and strengthen their foundation.
Because, 80% of the training secrets for King level and above are in the hands of the alliance.
If you want to be stronger, joining the alliance is your choice sooner or later! "
Mingzheng suddenly understood, and finally understood why Boss Sakaki was still willing to let him go.
If he only wins the semi-finals or the semi-finals of a competition, Honglian Research Institute and Siruf Company may be his only two choices.
But he who ranked first in the competition represented infinite possibilities. A king-level undercover could be seen everywhere, and a quasi-king or even gym leader-level undercover could be seen everywhere. Sakaki naturally preferred the former.
Mingzheng suddenly had a lot of expectations for his next meeting with Sakaki.
After all, if he wants the former, the sacrifices will naturally be different.
"So, A Ming, if you have enough background, you can wait until you have the strength and directly participate in the selection of the representative team, but..."
Kikuno hesitated for a while, but finally said nothing.
Mingzheng didn't answer. He knew what his aunt wanted to say.
If he could return to his family, Mingzheng would naturally have a lot of background.
But the Ming family is special, so it’s okay not to mention it.
"Thank you, auntie, I know how to choose."
"Just be good. If anything happens, don't shoulder it alone. If you need anything, just come to me.
If you hadn't participated in the Alliance Competition, I wouldn't have known you had been in Sinnoh for so long! "
Finally, Kikuno couldn't help complaining, but Mingzheng felt warm in his heart.
No matter what happened to the Akira and Kiku families, at least Kikuno in front of him really cared about the original body and himself.
"I understand, thank you, auntie."
"Well, your flight is in the afternoon. If you're not busy at noon, come and have a meal with me."
"Okay, thank you aunt for treating me to a big dinner!"
"Hehehe, yes! Eat a big meal!"
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Kikuno sent Mingzheng to the Elf Alliance dedicated airport.
"Back to Kanto, if necessary..." Kikuno hesitated for a while, then said: "Don't disturb your aunt, she has been busy."
Mingzheng thought a lot at once, but in the end he just nodded slightly.
"okay, I get it."
"Well, there's also this!"
Kikuno said, taking out a purple and gold medal from his bag.
"When you go to the headquarters to receive the award, take out this Medal of Glory and the staff will recognize that I have transferred the medal award to you.
You can take the medal and select a high-potential elf at the headquarters. This is my reward for you! "
"Auntie, this..."
“Don’t refuse, the award of the Medal of Honor is of little use to me, and it can only be given to immediate family members.
Juliang has your aunt and he doesn’t lack this. If I don’t give it to you, who else can I give it to? "
How could this not be of much use?
Being a high-potential elf certified by the alliance headquarters is equivalent to giving Mingzheng another reward for winning the competition.
Mingzheng is not stupid. Not to mention that Juliang is not the only descendant of the Ju family. Even Mingzheng has been expelled from the family.
It wasn't an illusion, Mingzheng always felt that Kikuno seemed to be taking the initiative to make up for something, from all aspects.
"Then I'll accept it, thank you auntie."
"Well, good boy, I will help you keep an eye on the league representative team matters. During this period, you can just improve your strength with peace of mind and meet the standards before selection."
"good!"
Kikuno gave a lot of instructions, and Mingzheng also agreed to them one by one.
It wasn't until the radio sounded the ticket check reminder that Kikuno asked Mingzheng to board the plane quickly.
After getting on the plane, Mingzheng took out the Medal of Glory, looked at the medal and thought a lot.
"Forget it, it's too much to think about, let's go to sleep first!"
…
I don’t know how long it took, but when Mingzheng woke up, the radio had already sounded the landing prompt.
Mingzheng stretched out and felt that he hadn't had such a good sleep in a long time.
Even last night, Mingzheng didn't get a good rest.
I spent the first half of the night watching game commentary, eating late-night snacks, and synchronizing information with real birds.
In the second half of the night, Ming Zheng released his friends and celebrated with everyone. After all, they were the main contributors to winning the game.
As soon as we get off the plane, we have to start a series of social interactions again.
Half an hour later, Mingzheng took a deep breath, put on his backpack and got off the plane.
At the exit, the sign greeting him was raised high.
Mingzheng looked at the person who greeted him and almost thought he was hallucinating.
"Dawu, why are you here?!"
