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

"It should be fine... right?" Ye Feng was taken aback. He was originally quite confident, but Guo Pengfei's question made him a little flustered.

"Time's up, hurry up!" Guo Pengfei urged, glancing at the time.

Ye Feng quickly opened the webpage, entered his admission ticket number, and clicked to check – all in one smooth motion.

"I told you there wouldn't be a problem." Looking at the results, Ye Feng smiled with relief, having almost been scared to death by Guo Pengfei.

The researchers took a self-administered exam with a total score of 450 and a passing score of 315. Ye Feng scored 400.

Except for math and physics questions, some of which were completely beyond Ye Feng's knowledge and couldn't be solved by just doing practice problems, he answered almost all of them correctly.

"Congratulations, boss! You're now a proud researcher!" Guo Pengfei handed over a can of cola.

"Cheers!" X2

"However, I'm only an intern researcher now. If I want to be promoted to intermediate researcher as soon as possible, two feature papers are not enough."

After becoming an intern researcher and receiving the instruction manual, Ye Feng finally understood the promotion process for intermediate researchers.

Becoming a formal researcher is quite simple. Ye Feng, who is nominally Deng Ruizhe's student, plus two characteristic papers, can pass the next unified promotion review without taking the exam.

However, for intermediate researchers, research in only one specific area is still somewhat insufficient.

Ye Feng decided to work on another paper as soon as possible. As for the content, there was already something ready-made, wasn't there? A magical, dazzling technique.

With the Fairy type just announced, apart from Ye Feng, who, thanks to his time travel advantage, knew in advance what moves the Fairy type had and experimented with the way to comprehend Magic Shimmer, everyone else was still in the exploratory stage.

Therefore, at this time, each new Fairy-type move can be published as an achievement.

This time, I'll reveal the Magic Dazzling move; next time, I'll reveal the Misty Terrain move; and after that, I'll reveal the Moon Power move. Once I advance to the intermediate level, I'll reveal that Ye Feng and Ye Jinfeng are the same person. That way, everyone will be more likely to accept it.

Oh~ No wonder this person revealed so many Fairy-type moves so quickly, it turns out that Fairy-type is the result of his discovery!

Senior Researcher status is within easy reach, isn't it? Keystones will be readily available, and Mega Stones will be just around the corner.

The plan goes through!

Chapter 93 Battle Club

Imperial University Battle Arena No. 3

After the recruitment event ended, all members of the battle club gathered here.

This recruitment drive saw the Battle Club enroll 11 new students. Including second-, third-, and fourth-year students, as well as advisors, the Battle Club now has a total of 51 members.

However, most of the senior students have already gone off-campus for internships. There are a few people, including the club president, who are members of the school team but don't usually appear in the battle club; they are basically just figureheads.

So there were just enough people to make up the 30 people present. As for the consultants, you can't see them unless there's a specific reason for their presence.

"Welcome to all the new juniors who have joined the club. It's a pity there are no juniors... cough. I am the vice president, Li Zi'ang. I think you all know me."

The group sat in a circle on the ground, each with a cushion under their bottoms, while Li Ziang stood in the very center.

"Of course we know each other," Ye Feng thought to himself. "That statement at the recruitment event about 'getting priority in choosing a partner during university' was really memorable."

Thanks to this, Ye Feng received quite a few little notes and pink envelopes, and his WeChat was almost overwhelmed with friend requests. He didn't know how it was leaked, but he had already set it to block friend requests.

Surely these people who send love letters don't actually believe what they're saying?

How ridiculous! I'm destined to become a Master Trainer; women are just a hindrance.

All the freshmen except Ye Feng showed knowing smiles. Li Ziang laughed and asked, "So, the first question for joining the group is, how many love letters have you received these past few days?"

? ?

The newlyweds were dumbfounded and looked at each other blankly. What kind of question was this?

Seeing that no one responded, Li Ziang continued, "As for myself, after the club recruited new members, I immediately received 108 love letters. And currently, none of the old members of our club received fewer than 30 love letters, both boys and girls. I wasn't just saying that to liven things up; it was all for everyone's future happiness! So tell me, how many did you receive?"

Everyone, including Ye Feng, scratched their heads sheepishly.

"You go first," Li Ziang casually pointed to a newcomer.

"Uh..." The newcomer stood up, her face flushed, and said, "I... I only received 10..."

"Tsk tsk tsk," Li Ziang shook his head, "No good, young man, try harder!"

The newlyweds sat back down, dejected.

Wait, what's with this battle club's art style? Shouldn't we be discussing battles, then making eye contact and pulling out Poké Balls for a heated battle? Why are we discussing the number of love letters here?

Ye Feng wondered if he had wandered into the wrong film set. Moreover, looking at the senior members of the combat club, they seemed quite used to this, each of them looking at the newcomer with a malicious smile.

Could this be a show of force to the newcomer? But it doesn't seem like it, and there's no such thing as a show of force like this.

"What about you? I think you're one of the most handsome freshmen, and the first one to steal the spotlight. You must have received quite a bit of attention, right?" Li Ziang looked at Ye Feng, who still had a deep impression of him.

Ye Feng touched his nose. "I know I'm handsome, but I need to keep a low profile... (Just like the author, I only mention it occasionally, not constantly.)"

"Well, I haven't counted either. Because I have a girlfriend... someone I like, so I didn't pay much attention and just lost track of her." Ye Feng stood up and scratched his head sheepishly.

"Oh, you have a girlfriend? Well then, I'll let you off the hook." Li Ziang waved his hand, gesturing for Ye Feng to sit down.

Ye Feng's face darkened, and the others realized that this wasn't about joining the group at all; they were being tricked.

Seeing the newlyweds' expressions, Li Ziang knew his prank had failed. He glanced regretfully at Ye Feng and said, "Alright, enough joking around. Let's start over."

I'm Li Zi'ang, the vice president of the club. Welcome to the battle club. I won't waste any more time. Please fill out the application form, and we'll give you a certificate. With this certificate, you can get a Pokémon at the school's breeding center at half price.

Also, and most importantly, I hope you all perform well in the gaming club. Although you've already joined the club, whether you can advance further and join the school team depends on yourselves.

Hearing that they could get the new Pokémon for half price, everyone was still quite excited, even though they already knew about it beforehand.

It's important to know that buying high-quality Pokémon outside is very expensive. Although you can exchange them for credits in university, it's calculated at a certain ratio, so it's not much cheaper in terms of money.

Moreover, in university, credits cannot be bought with money. Besides the credits earned from academic studies, you need to earn them yourself: club activities, experimental projects, exploring secret realms, submitting resources, battling and gambling... even doing things for the teachers can earn you a little bit of credit.

There are many ways to do it; it all depends on whether you can seize the opportunity and how much you can earn.

For first-year students, the main ways to earn extra credits are club activities and research projects. The secret realms are only accessible to second-year students and are specially allocated to universities. As for resources, it is strictly forbidden to purchase resources with money outside the school and then hand them over to the school. Resources can be exchanged or obtained from other people, but the ultimate source of resources can only be the secret realms.

The half-price credit reward sprite can save you a lot of credits.

Saving credits means you can get your Pokémon earlier than others, giving you more time to train them. Time is a precious resource!

However, Ye Feng hasn't decided which Pokémon to choose next.

He currently has Kirlia, Arcanine, and Magikarp. Kirlia and Magikarp's evolved forms can both have Mega Evolutions. Therefore, Ye Feng's plan is that his fourth Pokémon should also be one that is known to have a Mega Evolution, so that he will have a better chance of finding a Mega Stone in the future.

Although this world is different from games and anime, and there's no guarantee that other Pokémon won't have Mega Evolutions, it's always good to be prepared for the worst...

Considering Guo Pengfei's Tyranitar, perhaps Bangira is also a good choice?

I wonder if the Imperial University's breeding center has Riolu. Lucario is not only strong but also very cool, and it can also Mega Evolve.

What other cool and stylish elves are there... or would you like something unique?

Leaving aside whether Mega Evolution will be limited like in the game, imagine Mega Lucario on the left, Mega Gardevoir on the right, Mega Gyarados in front, and then riding Arcanine. The scene would be amazing! Just thinking about it is exciting!

While daydreaming, Ye Feng filled out the application form to join the group and then received the half-price certificate.

"Alright, there's nothing else to do today. We'll just fill out a membership application and get to know each other. There are plenty of areas here, and you can battle freely. You can also go to the breeding center to see the Pokémon now, but no, you have to make an appointment a day in advance—although you definitely don't have enough credits, so it would be a waste of your time."

"Alright, everyone, you're free to do as you please."

Li Ziang said something, then took the application form and left. He still needed to go find the teacher to register.

Chapter 94 Don't look at me!

After Li Ziang left, the senior students either went to class or did other things. They said goodbye and disappeared in an instant, leaving only 11 new students looking at each other in bewilderment.

"They're all gone?" One of them stared blankly at the people around him.

"It seems...yes."

"Then what do we do next?"

"Forehead···"

"How about we go check out the breeding center? Even if we can't afford to buy now, we can still pick some out in advance!" someone suggested.

“But you can’t get in without a reservation,” another person objected, and their argument was so logical and well-founded that it was impossible to refute.

"Oh, this..."

"How about we have a match?" someone suggested.

"This..." Everyone else suddenly looked at Ye Feng, and then shook their heads in unison.

Ye Feng looked completely bewildered.

"What are you doing joining the battle club if you're not going to fight?" Ye Feng was speechless. "And why is everyone looking at me?"

"Ye Feng's Kirlia is too powerful, I can't beat him," one person said.

"Um... I have another Pokémon, so I don't need Kirlia." Ye Feng said, slightly taken aback.

No, I wasn't the one who suggested the match, so why me? Shouldn't they be asking the person who suggested it? Dude, you're not following the script!

"Well..." The group looked at each other. "Alright, we have nothing else to do anyway."

So, the 11 people arrived at the battlefield—it was right next to them.

Since he's been singled out for a challenge, Ye Feng isn't one to back down from trouble. In fact, he quite enjoys stirring things up and getting involved in excitement, but he rarely has the opportunity.
