I haven't decided on a name for my Pokémon trainer yet.

The police officer's eyebrow twitched visibly, and he took a deep breath, saying, "What I mean is, next time you encounter something like this, just call the police, don't do anything so dangerous."

"These two look pretty stupid," Ye Feng muttered.

The police officer tapped the table with his pen, reminding him, "You were lucky this time, you ran into two idiots... cough, these two are first-time offenders, and their methods weren't too cruel. If these two were professional poachers, every one of them would be ruthless. Even we need to make detailed plans before taking action. Stolen elves can be recovered, but if a person is gone, they're truly gone."

Ye Feng remained silent for a moment, then nodded.

Only after being reminded did he realize how dangerous his actions were. He had only intended to stall for time, using a method he had seen on TV, but he hadn't considered the deeper implications. If these two were truly professional poachers, they would have attacked immediately instead of cooperating with his act, and Ye Feng wouldn't be sitting here now.

Seeing that Ye Feng had listened to his words, the police officer nodded in satisfaction. He's a good kid, with a strong sense of justice, but he's a bit impulsive.

···

"Thank you so much!" Outside the police station, a bespectacled boy held Ye Feng's hand and thanked him repeatedly.

"It's nothing, it's just a small matter, no need to be so polite." Ye Feng withdrew his hand, looking embarrassed.

This person has been thanking me for ten minutes now and hasn't stopped.

"How could that be? If it weren't for you, I don't know when I would have found my Larvitar." Guo Pengfei grabbed Ye Feng's hand again and began to thank him.

"Really... no need!" Ye Feng pulled his hand back again, feeling a bit overwhelmed. "I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."

"Wait a minute, what's your name? Which school do you go to?" Guo Pengfei called out.

"Call me Lei Feng, from Heyeba School." Ye Feng waved his hand and walked away without looking back.

"Lei Feng? Just from the name, he sounds like a good person, but Heyeba? I've never heard of a school like that in Shanghai." Guo Pengfei fell into deep thought, constantly trying to figure out what school Ye Feng was talking about.

-------------------------------------

next day

Ye Feng boarded the high-speed train to the capital.

Considering the journey would take a while, Ye Feng bought a first-class seat, reclined the chair back, stretched his legs, and half-reclined with his eyes closed to rest.

"Isn't that Lei Feng?! What a coincidence!"

A somewhat familiar voice rang in Ye Feng's ear.

Lei Feng? There are Lei Fengs in this world? Ye Feng was still wondering who the familiar voice belonged to when he felt someone pat his arm.

"Lei Feng?"

Ye Feng then realized that Lei Feng was calling him. He opened his eyes and saw Guo Pengfei, who looked excited, standing in front of him.

"It's you." Ye Feng was a little speechless. How could he run into you like this?

“Classmate Lei Feng, do you still remember me?” Guo Pengfei sat down, turned to the side, and grabbed Ye Feng’s hand to ask.

You can talk, but don't get physical, okay? You're not going to give it to me, are you? Ye Feng's lips twitched, and he withdrew his hand, saying, "You've got the wrong name. My name is Ye Feng."

"Huh?" Guo Pengfei was clearly taken aback. "I'm sorry, I mistook you for someone else. You look a lot like someone I know."

"I am that person." Ye Feng was speechless; this guy seemed a bit too straightforward.

"Huh?" Guo Pengfei was a little taken aback.

“That’s how it is,” Ye Feng sighed. “In my hometown, if you do a good deed and don’t want to leave your name, you’ll mention Lei Feng’s name.”

"So, you're Lei Feng? No, you should be Ye Feng," Guo Pengfei said excitedly. "But who is Lei Feng? Why are you all saying his name?"

Ye Feng felt a little powerless, so he simply gave him a brief introduction to Lei Feng's deeds and the spirit of Lei Feng.

"So that's how it is. Lei Feng was indeed a good person," Guo Pengfei remarked.

Ye Feng was a little annoyed; he hadn't expected this person to be so serious.

Chapter 73 Guo Pengfei's Cutting-Edge Technology

Seeing that Guo Pengfei had been led astray, Ye Feng had no choice but to change the subject: "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to the capital to visit Beijing University," Guo Pengfei said. "Ye Feng, what about you?"

“Me too,” Ye Feng said. Since they were going to visit Imperial University, Guo Pengfei must be in the same year as him.

"What a coincidence! Are you alone? How about we team up?" Guo Pengfei said happily.

Ye Feng nodded.

"By the way, how did your Tyranitar get stolen yesterday?" Ye Feng asked curiously. Tyranitar is such a rare Pokémon that most people can't get their hands on it, and they would definitely protect it well. How could someone steal it?

Guo Pengfei sighed and said, "I had a fight with my family yesterday, so I ran away. I didn't have time to take Yuki with me. Later, when no one was home, I sneaked back to take it with me, but it wasn't there. I knew it must have run away to look for me, so I searched and asked around, and that's how I found out it went with a man and a woman."

When I asked around, no one knew anyone like that. I knew Yukira had definitely been scammed, so I immediately called the police. You know what happened after that. You're like an older brother to me; I'm so grateful! I really don't know what I would have done if anything had happened to Yukira.”

Guo Pengfei clasped his hands together and bowed.

Ye Feng waved his hand: "Alright, alright, just call me by my name. If you consider me a friend, don't keep bringing this up. Just treat me to a meal later."

"No problem!" Guo Pengfei nodded vigorously.

"But what did you argue with your family about that led you to run away from home?" Ye Feng looked at Guo Pengfei, who was about the same age as him and didn't seem like the type to run away from home.

"Sigh!" Guo Pengfei sighed. "My family insists I study combat sports at Shanghai University and become a trainer. It's not that being a trainer is bad, it's just that I have absolutely no interest in it..."

"So what do you want to do?" Ye Feng asked.

"Yeah, I like to tinker with little inventions." Guo Pengfei said, taking out something that looked like a thermometer gun from his backpack. "This thing can detect the Pokémon's physical data, and then through the software I designed, it can be compared with big data to see the Pokémon's breeding status."

Ye Feng's lips twitched. He could see how the Pokémon were being raised? You call this a minor invention? Are you the real-life Clemont?

"Is this temperature gun accurate?" Ye Feng picked up the temperature gun, turned it around and looked at it. It seemed no different from an ordinary temperature gun.

“This isn’t a temperature gun,” Guo Pengfei snapped, pushing up his glasses. “I call this a temperature measuring instrument.”

"A rangefinder?" Ye Feng was taken aback. He pressed the button on the roof of the car, but the device displayed an "error" message.

"It's not about distance, it's about data." Guo Pengfei took out a laptop from his backpack and then released his Tyranitar. "Boss, let me show you."

Guo Pengfei took the measuring instrument, pressed a button on it, and then turned the computer to face Ye Feng: "Look."

On the computer screen, a picture of Kira is displayed on the right, and a bunch of incomprehensible numbers are displayed on the left.

"I don't understand." Ye Feng blinked, realizing for the first time that he was a fake academic genius. No, it was Guo Pengfei who was too outrageous.

"Um, let me adjust it." Guo Pengfei reached out and pressed a few buttons. The data on the left side of the screen changed and turned into several bar charts.

"Look, this blue bar chart is a reference standard that I made based on various data about Kira in the big database, while the red one is my Kira."

Ye Feng glanced at the graph and saw that the red bars representing Tyrannosaurus were roughly level with the blue bars, but there were a few bars that were slightly different.

"What data do these represent?" Ye Feng asked.

"This section describes the Pokémon's health status. These include stamina, spirit, attack power, defense, reaction speed, speed, move mastery level..."

"I understand health status, and I can accept physical and mental strength; they can be calculated from physical condition. But can other things also be measured with instruments?" Ye Feng was astonished. This wasn't just a small invention; it was practically black technology! No, this was even more outrageous than black technology; it was a cheat code! What happened to the world's technology tree being entirely focused on elves?

"Of course not, these require a lot of calculations based on real combat data. I've tested it on Yugira, so its data is in here," Guo Pengfei explained.

Ye Feng nodded in realization; that made sense. Then, pointing to the blue bar chart, he asked, "So, what standard is this blue bar based on?"

"This is based on calculations using big data. This comparison data is basic; there's also intermediate data. These two datasets have large sample sizes, so they're relatively accurate. However, advanced trainers have their own unique training methods, and even with the same type of Pokémon, the differences are significant. The sample size is also small, so they have no reference value. As for master trainers, there's simply no data available," Guo Pengfei explained.

Ye Feng really wanted to ask where your big data came from, but it definitely involved personal privacy, and might even... never mind, I won't ask.

"However, these are all theoretical data and cannot be used as a complete reference for strength."

Ye Feng nodded: "That's amazing. This can be used to adjust the direction of Pokémon training, and can save a lot of detours."

Ye Feng was curious about his Pokémon's condition and said, "Help me test my Pokémon."

"No problem, boss, release the elf."

Ye Feng released his three Pokémon, had Guo Pengfei scan them, and then recalled them.

"Let me see." Ye Feng leaned closer to the screen; the first one was for Magikarp.

"There's a lot of data on Magikarp, so the accuracy rate of the test is almost 100%," Guo Pengfei said, pressing a few keys on the keyboard.

The screen displayed Magikarp's stats. The red bar representing Ye Feng's Magikarp showed perfect health; aside from a few blank bars indicating data needed for actual battles, its stamina and mental strength were significantly higher than the official data.

According to Guo Pengfei, Ye Feng's Magikarp's physical stats have already surpassed the beginner level. Of course, this only refers to its training status and doesn't mean the Magikarp already possesses beginner-level strength...

"Boss, you've even raised a Magikarp this well!" Guo Pengfei said, somewhat surprised. "Are you planning to evolve it into Gyarados?"

Ye Feng nodded. Now that they'd caught Magikarp, their goal was naturally to get a Gyarados. They couldn't just keep it as an ornamental fish, could they? Even if they were to keep ornamental fish, they should choose attractive ones. Magikarp looked so dull...

“Look at Growlithe,” Ye Feng said.

Guo Pengfei nodded and pulled up the second set of data.

The Growlithe's data shows that its health is fine, and its mood is even far above the standard. However, other aspects are slightly worse, with the overall value only reaching less than 2/3 of the standard value.

“Growlithe is much lower,” Guo Pengfei said.

Ye Feng wasn't surprised: "Yes, the Growlithe is less than a month old, that's normal."

"..." Guo Pengfei pushed up his glasses, unsure of what to say for a moment.

“Let’s take a look at Kirlia’s stats,” Ye Feng said, as he was most interested in Kirlia’s data.

Guo Pengfei tapped a few keys on the keyboard, and then Kirullian's data appeared on the screen, a long red bar that stood out prominently.

Its health is perfect, its mood is just like Growlithe's, far exceeding the standard, and its stamina is slightly higher than the standard value. Only its mental strength is a long red bar that almost extends beyond the screen.
