Chapter 319 Special Training and Gift Giving
A few days later, Yang Ming and his group left Manjin City and headed towards Yuanzhu City. The Silver Conference was about to be held, and he couldn't miss his students' competition.
"Why? You seem very unhappy?" Yang Ming looked at Feng Lu, who had not spoken a word to him along the way.
Feng Lu turned her head away, pretending to be looking at the scenery. After a long while, she squeezed out a sentence in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "You hurt me yesterday."
"It's always like this at the beginning," Yang Ming said nonchalantly, "you'll get used to it later."
After meeting the relatives of Zhengxiong and Wuliyan a few days ago, Yang Ming was deeply touched. He realized that even if he was now quite powerful in Manjin City, he still could not guarantee the safety of the people around him forever.
In order to avoid regrets for the rest of his life, after careful consideration, Yang Ming called Feng Lu into his room alone.
"I have something important to tell you. I hope you won't reject me after listening to me."
Feng Lu lowered her head and twirled her skirt with her hands. She actually guessed what Yang Ming wanted to say, but when it really came to this moment, she couldn't help but feel shy.
"I want to train you!" Yang Ming said seriously, "Your strength still has a lot of room for improvement. In order to cope with future challenges, I decided to train you personally and make you stronger in a short period of time."
"But my training method is very strict. In order to prevent you from changing your mind midway, I will not let you leave during the special training."
Feng Lu just felt that she must have heard it wrong. Was he calling her here just for this kind of thing?
However, Yang Ming was serious. His own strength had already reached a certain bottleneck, but Feng Lu still had a lot of room for improvement, especially since her body had not undergone special training and she had no ability to resist sneak attacks.
Perhaps it was because Feng Lu had helped him so much in the past that he regarded her as a friend from the bottom of his heart. In order to prevent Feng Lu from having accidents in the future, Yang Ming planned to train her as much as possible and make her stronger than before.
Just because he planned to use the branch's resources to train Feng Lu, in order to avoid being discovered for misusing public resources for personal gain, he had to bring Feng Lu into the room alone to discuss the matter.
"Try harder, there are still twenty laps to go before we can complete the race!"
"No... I can't do it anymore... Please let me go..."
"That won't work. Your physical strength has not reached its limit yet," Yang Ming said seriously, "You can't eat until you finish running!"
Relying on various equipment and simulation venues in the branch, Yang Ming conducted devilish training on Feng Lu. After each training session, Feng Lu would collapse to the ground due to exhaustion, and Yang Ming would need to carry her back.
Then, he would send Fenglu to a special treatment room and treat her with expensive medicinal baths. These medicinal liquids could not only heal her physical injuries, but also fully nourish her body and make her stronger.
A few days later, Feng Lu felt like crying when she saw her thighs were slightly stronger than before.
"No, I'm going to turn into a muscular woman if I continue like this..."
"Isn't this good?" Yang Ming disagreed, "Strength is the most important thing."
"Wu...what if I can't get married in the future? Can you be responsible for me?"
"How can I be responsible for something like this?" Yang Ming was somewhat speechless. "Besides, when you have the strength, can't you just snatch any man you like?"
Feng Lu was speechless by his weird logic and simply ignored him.
However, Feng Lu's physical fitness and skills have indeed improved greatly in the past few days. Although he is still not as good as a real fighter, it is no problem for him to deal with three or five gangsters with his bare hands.
In addition, thanks to the facilities within the branch, Fenglu's Pokémon has also improved.
Just last night, because Yang Ming felt that Feng Lu had made great progress, he pulled her to practice with him in actual combat, but he accidentally injured her ankle, which led to the incident just now.
"Well, it must be because I was too forceful last night that she got angry with me. I'll be gentler next time."
Looking at Feng Lu who was still in a bad mood, Yang Ming felt that he should take the initiative to ease the relationship.
"I heard that if you give a girl a gift, her mood will improve. I'll try it too."
Looking at the pile of skill machines in Yang Ming's hands, Feng Lu's expression looked a little strange.
"what is this?"
"This is 'Jet Flame'," Yang Ming introduced without noticing Feng Lu's strange expression, "I think this skill machine is very suitable for your Pokkis, so I got one for you."
"And this, this is 'Boiling Water'. Don't underestimate it because it's a water-attributed skill. It actually has an additional burn effect, which can greatly increase your Dancing Swan's strength."
"This hidden rock is also good. You can let your armored bird learn from it."
"Also, this 'Momentum Shawl' can save your life at a critical moment. You have to bring it to your Pokémon."
Feng Lu was silent for a long time while listening to Yang Ming's endless introduction of the uses of these things. After a while, he spoke up: "There are so many valuable things. It's so embarrassing for you to give them all to me. You should keep them for yourself."
Yang Ming waved his hand: "What are you talking about? I have already bought a full set of skill machines and items for my Pokémon. These are for you, just take them."
Since his last "shopping spree", Yang Ming still has more than 600,000 points that have not been used up. Since Yang Ming has already purchased all the skill machines he needs, he will not need to redeem skill machines for quite some time in the future before he is promoted to a cadre.
Looking at the points that were about to go moldy in his hand, Yang Ming thought that since he couldn't use them at the moment, he might as well buy some for Feng Lu to increase her life-saving strength. Anyway, hundreds of thousands of these points originally belonged to Feng Lu, and she forced them on him in the end, so he might as well return them all to her this time.
Feng Lu looked at these things with a strange expression on her face. She hesitated for a long time before putting the things away.
"Thank you for your kindness. I will accept these things. But next time, please don't give me such expensive things. Please save more resources for yourself."
"If you just give me some ordinary gifts, I'll probably be very happy."
"You don't have to worry about that," Yang Ming said with a hearty smile, "I have always been a selfish person. The fact that I can give you these means that I have already left better things for myself."
"And after all, these are things you gave me, and I am just returning them to you in another form."
Tokugawa, who was sitting in the driver's seat, listened to the conversation between the two and tried hard not to laugh the whole time.
These two people are obviously talking at cross purposes, yet they can keep talking to each other. It's so funny.
Soon they arrived at Yuanzhu City, but unlike the last time, this time Yuanzhu City was decorated with lights and the whole city was filled with a festive atmosphere.
"Is it because of the Silver Conference? The whole Yuanzhu City seems to be celebrating."
At this moment, Feng Lu made a discovery. She pointed to one of the stalls and said excitedly, "Look, it's a golden Magikarp!"
