As a result, this incident happened... What a misfortune for our family!
Lu Yuan suppressed his impulse and asked tiredly, "What project did you invest in?"
Lu Jing hesitated for a moment, but finally mustered up the courage to speak: "Yes...it's a project related to rocket launch and space exploration..."
Lu Yuan: “???”
My goodness, it’s such a bottomless pit!
You have to know that such projects will not produce any results in the short term, and in the long run, it is estimated that people will not live to see the benefits.
"No, do you understand rockets? Do you understand the universe? Why are you just shooting randomly?" Lu Yuan asked loudly.
"You are still young and don't understand. A man's true romance is the stars and the sea!" When he said this, a light seemed to flash in Lu Jing's eyes.
Then he added, "And I wasn't the only one investing at the time. Companies like Silver, Devon Manufacturing Co., Ltd., Da Zijin Holdings, Marrokomon Group, and the Ether Foundation, all of these world-class chaebols and groups, also participated in the investment."
"So, they are all bankrupt too?" Lu Yuan asked.
"No, we were the only one that went bankrupt." Lu Jing said, "I invested a little more than them."
As he spoke, Lu Jing gestured with his index finger and thumb respectively.

Lu Yuan: “…”
Seeing his son's expression, Lu Jing continued to argue: "The rockets had already taken off, but who knew that a huge green caterpillar came into the ozone layer and sank all 100 rockets."
Green caterpillar?
If Lu Yuan guessed correctly, Lao Deng should be talking about Rayquaza.
Rayquaza lives in the ozone layer and has a strong sense of territory. Lu Yuan remembered that in the animation, Satoshi and Team Rocket once rode a rocket to the ozone layer.
As expected, he was hit by Rayquaza's destructive death ray.
As long as Rayquaza exists, it will be basically impossible for humans in the elven world to make any progress in their exploration of the universe.
Lu Yuan looked at Lu Jing and shook his head helplessly, sighing: "You...take care of yourself."
After saying this, he turned resolutely and walked towards the house.
Lu Jing shouted from behind: "Don't ignore me, I'm your father! Blood is thicker than water!"
In response to Lu Jing's words, Lu Yuan simply said two words: "Dear."
Before he finished speaking, he continued to move forward towards the house without any pause.
When he reached the door, Lu Yuan stopped, but did not look back at Lu Jing. He said coldly: "You owe a lot of debts, pay them with your own ass, don't drag me into it."
"Bam—"
The door was closed tightly.
Outside the house, Lu Jing was alone, looking disheveled in the wind.
Inside the house, Xiao Lan said hesitantly: "That
, do you really not care about your father?"
Lu Yuan covered his head with his hands, frowning, looking very distressed. He rubbed his temples and replied weakly:
"Let him calm down outside for a while before letting him in."
Having such a father, did I destroy the world in my previous life?
After returning to the room, Lu Yuan took out a notebook and started planning for the future.
Now that we no longer have Lao Deng’s financial support, it is somewhat difficult to continue maintaining the gym.
Fortunately, the gym still provides a subsidy of 5 million every month.
With the little savings I have, I can still maintain the backyard.
Oh, and by the way, we also need to reduce Pachirisu's food intake. We can't let it keep eating like this.
At this moment, Pachirisu was lying in the fruit pile in the backyard warehouse.
While chewing the pomelo in his hand, he looked around.
"Jippa?"
Do you always have a bad feeling?
Do I always feel like someone is plotting against me behind my back?
It must be an illusion, right?
Then Pachirisu dove into the berries again.
After calculating the remaining savings at home, the current expenses of the backyard can last at least three months. After three months, we may have nothing to worry about.
It's true that a penny can make a hero fall. I never thought that one day I, Lu Yuan, would worry about money.
Isn't there any job that makes money quickly?
Wait, it seems to be true.
Lu Yuan remembered that Xiao Lan said the prize money for the expert competition was about five million, which was just enough to solve his current urgent needs.
Chapter 104 The Three Protagonists
Kanto Masters Group Chat Group.
[Lu Yuan: Isn't King Xiba in the group? I looked around but couldn't find him?]
[Kona: Shiba can't use a smartphone, and grandma Kikuko doesn't want to use one, so they are not in the group.]
[Kona: What do you want to talk to Sheba about? (Slowpoke is confused.jpg)]
[Lu Yuan: I want to sign up for the Fighting Experts Tournament the day after tomorrow, but the registration seems to have closed, so I want to... (poke the little finger.jpg)]
[Yulongdu: You want to take the back door?! (Dragonite launches a destructive death ray.jpg)]
Yu Longdu, who was undercover in Team Rocket, was shaking with anger after reading the message from Lu Yuanfa.
How could there be such a person in the group?
Yulongdu is a person who cannot tolerate even a grain of sand in his life, and what he can't stand the most is Lu Yuan's behavior of using backdoors.
【Lu Yuan: What are you talking about? What backdoor? It's clearly a friendly help between friends.】
[Kona: Well said. Although Siba is not here, it is still very easy for me, the organizer of this competition, to sneak someone in. ]
[Red: Fighting Expert Competition, I think I have participated in this competition before.]
【Kona: ......】
[Kona: I am embarrassed to say that you are sweeping the field with Snorlax. How can other contestants play?]
[Lu Yuan:? Snorlax? Isn't it a froggy frog?]
In front of the screen, Lu Yuan was confused. Could non-fighting Pokémon be sent to the Fighting Expert Tournament?
[Kona: Yes, the Fighting Expert Competition is different from other expert competitions. It is not a simple attribute competition. As long as the Pokémon knows some fighting skills, they can participate.]
Emm......Can I participate as long as I know fighting skills?
At this moment, a bold idea suddenly emerged in Lu Yuan's mind.
correct.
[Lu Yuan: Senior Chihong, are you also going to participate in this competition? (Geng Gui trembles.jpg)]
If Red also wants to participate, then there’s nothing to do.
【crimson:.........】
[Kona: He, he has been banned from the competition since then. (Michunjie giggles.jpg)]
【Lu Yuan:......】
It’s a good ban, it’s a good ban!
......
January 1, Wednesday.
Shuimai City, the scene of the fighting expert competition.
“A new year brings a new beginning. This time of year is the start of the expert competition.”
"This year is the year of fighting, and the fighting expert competition will be held here."
"This year's contestants include not only gym owners who specialize in fighting, but also some veteran fighters."
“I believe that these highly anticipated expert matches will allow us to appreciate the fighters’ unique style charm and indomitable fighting spirit.”
The tour guide enthusiastically introduced in detail to tourists including Lu Yuan the wonderful events that would be held here.
In order to save money, Lu Yuan had to follow the tour group to Guandu to participate in the competition this time.
Lu Yuan turned to look at Qiao Yixue who was standing beside him in casual clothes, and asked curiously, "Xiaoxue, it's quite surprising that you would come with us this time. You said you were busy when I called you before."
Qiao Yixue chuckled: "I can't help it, I have to take an exam soon..."
"Certification? Don't you already have a nursing certificate?" Lu Yuan asked puzzledly.
"It's not this certificate. You'll know when I pass the exam." Qiao Yixue said with a mysterious smile.
"Okay, come on."
Afterwards, Lu Yuan, Qiao Yixue and Xiao Lan parted ways. After all, it would be a shame for Xiao Lan not to take advantage of such a grand event to reap some profits, which earned her the title of a profiteer.
Pack your bags.
Lu Yuan prepared to go to the nearby Pokémon Center to register.
Since I informed Kona the day before yesterday, I can participate in the competition just by registering.
"Haunter, stop looking at that black-skinned, barefoot girl in a combat uniform over there."
Lu Yuan said helplessly.
"Scrape hiss"
ーεー
)”
Haunter called out reluctantly and followed Lu Yuan obediently, but his eyes still looked over there from time to time.
The eyes are on me, so I can see however I want.
When I arrived at the Pokémon Center, Miss Joy was the one registering in front of me.
But this Joey looks a bit old.
"Mom?" Qiao Yixue, who was following behind Lu Yuan, suddenly called out.
Lu Yuan: “?”
"Xiaoxue?" The older Joey was also a little surprised.
Isn't this girl in front of me who looks like a big milk can my daughter?
Because of work, the mother and daughter had not seen each other for many years, so when they met, their eyes were filled with tears and they soon hugged each other tightly.
This scene made the bronze-skinned hedgehog-haired boy next to him bleed from his nose: "What great breasts! So exciting."
"boom--"
"Numb, numb, it's numb--" the boy suddenly shouted.
Lu Yuan looked back curiously. Isn't this Xiao Gang and his bad frog?
if it is like this......
Sure enough, there was a boy wearing a hat following behind Xiaogang, with a Pikachu lying on his shoulder.
Next to the boy was a girl wearing a white knitted hat and holding a Pokémon in her arms.
Lu Yuan recognized them at a glance, and blurted out: "Xiao Zhi, Xiao Guang!"
