Chapter 532: Northeast Region Contestants

Chapter 532: Northeast Region Contestants

"Hi, Lin Shi."

At the entrance of the villa, Li Taoyao appeared outside the door, graceful and elegant.

The spring sunshine gently shines on the girl. She is wearing a simple blue striped shirt, white trousers, and her hair is simply tied into a ponytail and thrown behind her.

"Oh, you're here so soon. I'm ready too. Let's go."

Li Taoyao was also a contestant in the national competition, so the two of them planned to go there together, and Lin Shi also wanted to visit Tao Ran.

Lin Shi remembered that there were quite a few Suo Cai Ling coins in her collection, and Lin Shi wanted to ask in person to see if he could trade them.

In addition, Tao Ran was an explorer in the past, so he probably knew other friends who were also explorers. Maybe they had collected a lot of coins, so Lin Shi also wanted to find out some information.

There is no other way. I have already collected all the elves. I can’t just leave them there...

Two people were walking on the street. Although the temperature in Taoxian City had risen in April, it was still a little chilly, and people passing by were wearing thicker clothes.

"I heard that today's meeting was organized by the Northeastern Trainers Association, but I don't know what they specifically want to do."

Li Taoyao walked beside Lin Shi and spoke slowly.

"What else can we say? Encourage, motivate, bring glory to China, bring glory to the Northeast. That's all the clichés."

Lin Shi shrugged and said.

"However, with the competition coming up, perhaps the Trainers Association can grant us some resources. These benefits will be tangible."

The Trainer Association is one of the core organizations under the Alliance. It is mainly responsible for managing and coordinating trainers within Shenzhou. They are responsible for the management of the Pokémon Centers in various cities and play a very important role.

There will also be competition between the trainers associations in each region, so they must have high hopes for players like Lin Shi who are about to participate in the national competition.

"Oh, here we are. This is it."

Soon, Lin Shi and Li Taoyao arrived at their destination, the Taoxian Elf Alliance Center, commonly known as the Elf Center. It was here that Lin Shi was certified as a gym leader-level trainer not long ago.

"Lin Shi, Tao Yao, you're here. I've been waiting for you for a while."

At the entrance of the center, Qiu Ning, who was leaning against the wall, saw Lin Shi and the other person, and immediately walked up to them happily and waved to them.

"Senior Qiu Ning, long time no see."

Li Taoyao greeted Qiu Ning politely.

"Sister Qiu Ning is getting more and more beautiful."

Lin Shi praised. He and Qiu Ning hadn't seen each other for a while. During this time, Qiu Ning had invited him to go on missions, but Lin Shi had just come out of the spiritual world and was still in shock, so he had no thoughts at all.

Besides, his elves already have rich combat experience, and now they need some time to settle down and hone their abilities.

"Hey, Lin Shi, you're so sweet. You must participate in the next mission. Let me tell you, this mission is very exciting. It would be a great loss if you didn't participate..."

Qiu Ning giggled and patted Lin Shi's shoulder. Qiu Ning was in really good health, not just in terms of figure. Long periods of field missions had made her muscular and heroic.

"Okay, Sister Qiu Ning, we'll talk about your mission later. Let's go up first, the time is almost up."

Looking at Qiu Ning talking endlessly about his mission experience, Lin Shi said helplessly.

"Oh, that's right. I just saw a few contestants go up. Let's hurry up."

The three of them entered the Pokémon Center together and soon arrived at the conference room. At this moment, there were already four people in the conference room, all boys. They had also participated in the regional competition, and they easily recognized each other's identities.

In the seed rankings, Bi Yang, Yu Yanming, Ji Lang and Qu Lin were once ranked third, fourth, seventh and eleventh respectively.

Their performance was quite satisfactory and they did not encounter any strong opponents. They all advanced to the quarterfinals smoothly and won a place in the national competition.

The few people didn't know each other. After a slight nod, they sat down at a distance from each other. Then Lin Shi looked at the four people thoughtfully.

Bi Yang and Yu Yanming both sat up straight, both with short hair, and indeed looked like people from the military. Qu Lin was a bit mysterious, but also a bit ordinary, and it was hard to tell what he was thinking.

As for Ji Lang, he had some wounds on his body that looked very new, probably caused recently. Moreover, there was some eagerness in his eyes when he looked at Lin Shi, as if he regarded him as an opponent.

“Are there so many people here already?”

At this time, a gentle male voice came into the room, and then Zhang Yaohan, dressed in a suit, walked in with a smile, and greeted everyone familiarly, just like the host.

"Taoyao, long time no see."

Finally, Zhang Yaohan turned his gaze to Li Taoyao, smiled and spoke softly.

"Ah? Have we met before?"

Li Taoyao seemed to wake up from a dream, looked at Zhang Yaohan pointing at herself and said in surprise.

"cough."

Qiu Ning was a person who could not hide her temper. As soon as Li Taoyao finished speaking, she could not help laughing, but she felt it was impolite, so she immediately covered herself up by coughing.

Zhang Yaohan's expression was also a little unnatural, and the corners of his eyes twitched twice. He took a deep breath and continued:

"Of course I have. At the Peach Blossom Gathering two years ago, Master Tao Ran attended with you. We met at the meeting."

Li Taoyao reacted a little and nodded thoughtfully.

I remember this, I also remember that the peach blossoms at that meeting were very beautiful, but you... I'm sorry, I really don't have any impression.

"you……"

Zhang Yaohan's expression changed and he wanted to say something else.

"Okay, classmate Zhang, stop forcing our class monitor. I can prove that her brain isn't very useful, so it's normal that she can't remember."

Lin Shi rested his arms on the table and spoke lazily.

Li Taoyao:?

"Nonsense, where do I have it?"

Li Taoyao retorted unconvincedly and tapped Lin Shi's arm with his hand.

Zhang Yaohan:?

What are these two people doing?

Am I a human being? Am I a human being?

"Oh!"

At this moment, the door of the conference room was suddenly opened, and a tall woman in white walked in.

This is a girl with a delicate face, but she exudes a hint of coldness all over her body. It is not the coldness of an ice goddess, but a more weird and mysterious ethereal feeling. She is Wan Qiansi, who was originally ranked second in the seeding, and the last player to arrive.

As soon as she entered the room, her eyes looked around, scanning the people in the conference room one by one, and finally stopped on Lin Shi.

Then she walked quickly forward to Lin Shi, slapped the table with her hand, making a loud sound, and then tilted her head.

"Are you Lin Shi?"

This sudden scene made Lin Shi a little confused. He was indeed lucky that he had never seen this girl before and had never had any interaction with her.

"That's right, there are no plans to change the name for the time being."

Lin Shi nodded and answered frankly.
