Pokémon: Starting with a strongman and a slacker

"Faced with those rigid rules, annoying constraints, and suffocating pressure, don't you ever feel the urge to flip the table and shout 'I refuse'?"

Long Shaoyun nodded. Of course she would. She had thought about this kind of thing countless times since she was a child, but it was just a thought; she couldn't actually do it!

"Have you never thought about dropping everything and doing those things you've always wanted to do but never dared to, completely indulging yourself?"

"Of course I've thought about it, but my position doesn't allow me to do anything out of line!"

"What do you mean by 'out of line'? We both come from prominent families, so why can Chaoyue live a carefree and independent life while you can't?"

"Her? She's a madwoman. How could I be like her? In the Zhuge family, besides her grandmother, how many people aren't afraid of her?"

Bai Jing retorted, "Why can't you learn from her? Are you inferior to her?"

"No, that's not true at all. In what way do I not compare to her?"

"Isn't it over then?"

Long Shaoyun didn't understand. "What exactly are you trying to say?"

"Do you think the Zhuge family's indulgence and transcendence is because of her superpower going berserk, or because of her unbridled personality?"

"Is not it?"

Bai Jing flicked her forehead, "Of course not, you silly girl!"

This intimate gesture made the female tyrannosaurus blush, and her heart stirred.

To hide her unease, she pressed on, "What's the reason?"

"That's because she's outstanding enough; that's what gives her the right to be so arrogant, and it's also the fundamental reason why the Zhuge family indulges her!"

Long Shaoyun was deeply moved, and the string on the zither was plucked hard.

"So, the reason you live such a tiring life isn't because your family's rules and regulations are restricting you, but because you don't have a clear understanding of your own position!"

Give me Chapter 175! I'll try my best to fulfill your wish!

"Positioning? What do you think my positioning should be?"

"The definition of genius!"

Bai Jing advised, "Think about it, you're so outstanding, so what if you make a mistake? Do you really think your family would have the heart to punish you?"

"So what if you do something outrageous? At most, they'll say a few words to you, and then it'll be over."

"Remember this: as long as you demonstrate enough value, it doesn't matter how rebellious you are. They will just gradually accommodate you and relax their requirements on you little by little."

"Outstanding people really can do whatever they want!"

"Of course, you can't cross their bottom line either; you have to find the right balance!"

"In this respect, you should surpass her and learn more from her!"

"In conclusion, it's not that the family is putting too much pressure on you; it's that you're being stupid and making yourself feel suffocated!"

At this moment, Long Shaoyun felt as if a light had suddenly been pierced through the clouds and the sun had been shone through!

"So all this time I've been too foolish, not knowing how to resist and refuse?"

"Isn't that right? That's how people get along. Your concessions will never earn you understanding, but rather further coercion."

"Even parents are the same in this respect! If they think you're doing well and are obedient, then they'll demand that you do even more and better!"

"It's not that your parents want to force you; this behavior is subconscious. It's just that you're not assertive enough and don't know how to say no!"

"This is how depression develops, and this is how suicide occurs when you can't handle the pressure. So even for your own sake, you should learn to fight back!"

"Of course, I'm telling you this not to make you a bad kid, but to teach you self-regulation so that you won't have any suicidal thoughts one day!"

If you suppress your feelings for too long and don't let them out, they will eventually explode. This explosion is extremely terrible; it will not only hurt yourself but also those around you.

"Do you understand now after I've told you all this? It's okay for you to be a little willful and indulgent, because you're good enough that they won't really do anything to you!"

"I understand!"

Long Shaoyun clenched his fists to encourage himself!

"From now on, I will learn to resist. I will not let them arrange everything for me. I will try to do things that I didn't dare to do before, but wanted to do!"

"That's more like it. If a person doesn't even have the right to live autonomously, what's the point of striving? Isn't the purpose of striving to make your life better?"

"Yes, I want to live for myself!"

At this moment, Long Shaoyun seemed to be reborn, staring intently at Bai Jing.

"Thank you, your advice was so important to me!"

"You're welcome, just repay me with your body!"

"You... I hate you so much, I don't want to talk to you anymore!"

Long Shaoyun was furious. He had just started to change his opinion of him, and now he was disgusting him!

That scoundrel is still as annoying as ever!

"Just kidding!"

"Humph!"

"By the way, what's the deal with your red-faced dragon?"

Seeing that Bai Jing changed the subject, Long Shaoyun wasn't really angry, so he simply went along with it.

"Did you see that?"

"Its aptitude isn't that great, but it's my good friend, and strictly speaking, it was my first Pokémon."

"How to say?"

"I rescued it by accident when I was a child, and I've taken it in and cared for it ever since. That's how we developed our bond. Although I didn't tame it, it's like family to me!"

Speaking of this, Long Shaoyun stroked the red-faced dragon and sighed, "Its talent is too low; it can't even be in my second tier. I really feel sorry for it!"

"It has always been a regret for me not being able to fight alongside my good friends."

"Isn't there a secret treasure? With the Long family's resources, surely they can obtain it?"

Long Shaoyun rolled his eyes. "You make it sound so easy. Do you think such treasures are so easy to obtain? Even if they were, the family wouldn't give them to Crimson-Faced Dragon."

That's right, its quality is indeed too poor, giving it to it would be a waste. For a large family that prioritizes family interests, all resources should be used to the greatest extent possible.

"I did search for it secretly, but there are very few such treasures to begin with. Those who are lucky enough to obtain them will keep them for their own use, and very few people will sell them."

"You're right, those lucky enough to receive it will keep it for themselves, like me!"

Long Shaoyun's eyes widened, because the glittering object that Bai Jing was tossing in his hand was none other than the secret treasure.

Moreover, it's a silver-level treasure!

"you you you……"

Bai Jing found it amusing. "Why are you suddenly stuttering?"

"no!"

Group ⑶ Qi ⒈ Qi ⒉ Wine (I) Yao Wine

Long Shaoyun swallowed his anger and exclaimed in surprise, "You actually have this!"

·· ·····Requesting flowers· ······

"Is it strange? This is the second one I've obtained. The first one was given to the single-edged sword sheath, and it's excellent now!"

That Aegislash monster? It's truly excellent!

"that……"

Long Shaoyun suddenly grabbed Bai Jing's hand, his eyes filled with longing.

Not to mention her, even the Crimson-Faced Dragon was drooling over the Silver Treasure.

"What? You want it?"

"Mmmmmmm!"

Long Shaoyun nodded vigorously.

"But I want to keep it for myself. Although I haven't met a suitable spirit yet, there's no harm in keeping it, right?"

"Ahem~ How about selling it to me? You don't need it right now anyway, so why not give it to someone who does? Like me!"

"I reject!"

........ ......

"why?"

"I'm not short of money right now, why would I give away something so precious? You said it yourself, treasures are hard to find, keeping them to appreciate in value is a good idea!"

Long Shaoyun almost cried, "No way! You're so lucky, you've already gotten two, how hard is it to get one more? I really need it, please let me have it!"

"is it okay!"

Good heavens, she's actually pulling on my arm and acting all cute!

It's absolutely shocking that a rigid, old-fashioned person can actually act cute!

It seems that Long Shaoyun is really going all out to help the Crimson-Faced Dragon improve his potential!
