Chapter 27: Every resident of Rongcheng is a Luo Chen chef!
Li Luochen vaguely remembered the red-haired girl in front of him.
She's somewhat like Kanon from "The Guardians of Water City the Movie," and is also the form Latias likes to take when he transforms into a human.
They traveled all the way from Odomare to Rongcheng to study. Is Rongcheng University in their Donghuang region really that attractive?
Li Luochen didn't think Rongcheng University was really that attractive, able to draw talents from all over the world to study there.
"Luo Chen, this fruit basket is for you, along with some local specialties from our Unova region—local elemental gems. I saw in your profile that you specialize in Dragon-type, right? These Dragon Gems should be helpful to you!"
Last night's dinner was split equally (split the bill), which made Mingyi feel a little bad, since Li Luochen had shown her the way, and she had to find a chance to repay the favor.
For her, the Dragon Gem was like interest.
"And then, this is my roommate, Canon, from Odomare, also in your breeding department~"
Mingyi introduced her roommates to Li Luochen.
"Hello~ I'm Canon from the 2511 breeding team, nice to meet you~"
Kanon released her arm from Mingyi's and extended a fair, jade-like hand.
Seeing this, Li Luochen grasped it slightly and then let go: "Cultivation 2511, Li Luochen."
The two were in the same class, but because Li Luochen had just joined the group and entered the secret realm, he didn't get to know all the people in the class.
"Then I won't bother you anymore~ Bye-bye~"
Mingyi brought a fruit basket this time, so Li Luochen had no choice but to accept it. He would reciprocate if he had any small gifts next time.
He didn't want to owe Mingyi anything, as it was only fair.
"Okay, be careful on the road. I'm heading back to my dorm now."
Li Luochen still had some things to take care of, and even if he wanted to take Mingyi back to her dormitory, he was too weak to do so.
Besides, with Canon around, the two of them can keep each other company. It's only a short walk, so they're unlikely to run into any hooligans.
After Li Luochen entered the dormitory building.
Mingyi arrived at the bottom of the building, took out her phone, and checked today's group messages.
[Beat 2511 Lin Jiahao: Brothers, the Minrong Dojo has reopened, and its rating is only at the district level right now. I feel this is the best time to get the Minrong Dojo badge!]
[Fighting against Dong Qiu (2511): It was indeed the best time, but the new gym leader is Li Luochen, the top scorer in Fujian Province's college entrance examination this year, right? That's him.]
[Against Wang Weilei (2511): Li Luochen is invincible. Now that Li Luochen has come to Rongcheng University, even we students from the combat department cannot match him.]
[Wang Weilei (2511): If you ask me, aside from gym challenges, if I encounter Li Luochen in the exchange tournament in a few days, I should surrender as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary damage to my Pokémon.]
【? 】
As soon as these words were spoken, a series of "?" questions appeared on the public screen from students of various universities.
Are you trying to demoralize your own team before the battle has even started?
Wang Weilei was one of the many prodigies who fought against Li Luochen. He wielded the starter Pokémon Swampert and was known as the Wailing Wall of Fire-type Pokémon.
That's the situation.
In the end, he was still defeated by Li Luochen.
This almost shattered his Dao heart, but fortunately he managed to recover.
Seeing someone overestimating themselves and wanting to challenge Li Luochen, he couldn't help but offer a word of advice.
[Battle 2511 Lin Jiahao: @Battle 2511 Wang Weilei It's okay, I've investigated. The Minrong Gym's main battle type has been changed to Dragon, and I have Admiral Lapras, which has both Water and Ice types. Even if Li Luochen uses Charizard, he won't be able to do anything to me for a while.]
[Battle against 2511 Lin Jiahao: Brothers! I'll be streaming on the Flashflame Douyin platform tomorrow, so please support me and watch how I get the badge! I'm determined to win this battle!]
Lin Jiahao was determined to leave, and the other classmates who knew Li Luochen's true strength didn't try to dissuade him. They just kept sending him messages wishing him good luck.
"Mingyi, what are you laughing at?"
"It's nothing, I was just laughing. It looks like there's going to be some fun to watch tomorrow~"
Mingyi reads light novels in her spare time, and this kind of scene perfectly fits the trope of a villainous minor character getting slapped in the face. She just wonders if this Lin Jiahao will go live and aggressively go after Li Luochen to cause trouble.
……
……
The next day, around nine o'clock, at the Minrong Martial Arts Hall.
"Is anyone there? I'm a trainer here to challenge you! Is the Gym Leader in? Come and accept my challenge!"
Li Luochen arrived late, riding his Charizard. As soon as he reached the door, he saw a young man wearing a black hoodie, who was even more covered up than Mingyi, knocking on the door.
"I'm the head of the dojo. Minrong Dojo doesn't open until nine o'clock. You've come a bit early."
Li Luochen glanced at his phone; it was only 8:58, and there were still two minutes until the dojo opened.
Of course, even if the time comes, it doesn't necessarily mean you can immediately face the challenger.
"You're Li Luochen? The top scorer in the Fujian Province college entrance examination?"
The young man was Lin Jiahao.
"Yes, it's me."
Looking at Lin Jiahao's attire and the tone of his voice, Li Luochen had a bad feeling.
Could this be a challenge segment of the classic?
"Teacher Luo Chen! I'm your fan! I watched your battle during the college entrance exam over and over again!"
"Especially that match where he suddenly unleashed his power, the one in the semifinals! Charmeleon evolved into Charizard, and then used Solar Beam to defeat Swampert!"
"I've watched the evolution scene at least ten times! Every time I finish watching it, I get so excited!"
"Teacher Luo Chen! Could you please sign my autograph after the battle?"
Lin Jiahao darted to Li Luochen's side, his eyes shining brightly as if they were shooting stars at high speed.
"No problem. Since you've been waiting so long, I'll give you something free later."
This was the first time Li Luochen had called a challenger "teacher." Although he was called "teacher" when giving away Polaroid photos at comic conventions, he still felt a little awkward in this situation.
"Thank you, Teacher Luo Chen! I'll wait for you here. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Lin Jiahao couldn't stay idle and wanted to see if there was anything he could do to help Li Luochen.
"It's alright, I don't need to turn on many things here. I'll just turn on a light after the automatic door opens."
Li Luochen shook his head, and after turning on the main switch, the dojo's main gate shrank to both sides.
While waiting, Lin Jiahao and Li Luochen exchanged emails and immediately sent them to the class group chat.
[Battle against 2511 Lin Jiahao: Brothers, we've arrived at the dojo entrance. Teacher Luo Chen is very approachable; I'm the first challenger today. He said we can stay for tea later, and there are autographed items to collect! ~photo.jpg]
[Battle against 2511 Naruto: ?]
This was the first time Mingyi had sent a message in the group chat, and her appearance immediately attracted many classmates who wanted to get to know her.
But on the other end of the phone, Mingyi felt envious.
"I want to collect stamps too! I want freebies too!"
