It's perfectly reasonable for me, a fisherman, to catch a Georgios, right?

"Fuck!!"

"Fuck!!"

"Brother Qin, let me confirm with you again, are you sure it was Chairman Lin Hongsheng who invited you to join the Guangdong Provincial Training Association's Special Operations Team?"

"Yes."

Upon receiving Qin Ming's affirmative reply, Sun Pengcheng exploded: "Holy crap, Brother Qin, do you know what this means?!"

“Countless senior students who graduated from the Trainer Training Program spent their final year at school preparing for the Trainer Association’s entrance exam, just to be able to join the local Trainer Association and become one of the most ordinary members.”

"Then they work hard and struggle, sometimes for five years, sometimes for ten, before they have the opportunity to join the special operations team and become a member!!"

"And you, you skipped that step and became a member of the special operations team!!"

"Do you know how elite the Special Operations Team is? It's the strongest team in the entire province!!"

Li Shiwei and Chen Junliang covered their heads, looking incredulous: "This is too outrageous! To be invited to join the Guangdong Provincial Special Operations Team right after starting university—even in the entire Dragon Kingdom, this is an absolutely incredible achievement!!"

"My God, this is absolutely breaking records!!"

Seeing his roommates' startled reactions, Qin Ming regretted his actions: "I should have just not told them..."

The recruitment of Qin Ming into the special operations team was personally arranged by Lin Hongsheng, and the Guangdong Provincial Training Association issued a public announcement early the next morning.

The announcement immediately caused a huge uproar.

The announcement clearly states that Qin Ming is a freshman from Shenzhen University and has just turned eighteen this year.

Joining a special operations team in a major province at the age of eighteen?

Such explosive information quickly went viral online.

The first thing that comes to mind for anyone who sees this information is that it's a cover-up.

After all, it's hard not to suspect that there's something fishy about a person who has just turned eighteen, started college, and become a trainer three months ago being specially recruited into a special operations team in a province.

Some unscrupulous self-media outlets, upon seeing this news, even cut out the beginning and end of the report.

Soon, the news that Qin Ming had been specially recruited into the Guangdong Provincial Training Association's Special Action Team made it into the top 50 trending topics, and its popularity continued to rise.

#Special Recruitment Scandal

There were numerous comments from netizens under this entry.

"This is definitely a shady deal!!"

"Being specially recruited into a special operations team right after starting university at eighteen—what is this if not a shady operation?!"

"This special recruitment is clearly based on nepotism; please investigate thoroughly!!"

"It's not fair, it's so unfair!!"

"We train our Pokémon diligently, risking our lives in secret realms just to pass the Training Association's exam and become ordinary members, but this guy just bypassed us and parachuted into the Special Operations Team!!"

"What do they take us ordinary trainers with no connections for, after such a shady operation?!"

"A thorough investigation is necessary!!"

Led by several so-called influential online figures, a wave of strict investigations was immediately launched.

The Guangdong Provincial Training Association, which had anticipated this situation, offered no explanation to the public, only releasing a short video.

The video shows Qin Ming and Lü Wanyun's match in the finals.

The release of the video immediately brought the Guangdong Provincial Training Association, which was in the eye of the storm, being criticized, and being asked to conduct a thorough investigation, back to calm.

After watching the video, everyone understood why the Guangdong Provincial Training Association wanted to specially recruit Qin Ming.

Meanwhile, videos of Qin Ming and Lü Wanyun's battle also circulated widely online.

What was originally called #SpecialRecruitmentHiddenFacts quickly became #TheBoundaryBetweenTrainers and Pokémon.

Numerous netizens left comments under this entry.

"What an exciting and magnificent battle! No matter how you analyze it, that trainer named Qin Ming achieved the ultimate perfection."

"Lucario's final burst of power was especially moving; it was the perfect moment between trainer and Pokémon!!"

"After watching this video, I suddenly understood why the Guangdong Provincial Training Association made special recruitment."

"It's purely because that trainer named Qin Ming is too talented. Even if he may not meet the requirements of the Special Operations Team yet, the talent he has shown so far makes him worthy of being specially recruited!!"

"It's safe to predict that someone with such formidable talent will definitely not be an ordinary person in the future!!"

"This trainer's name is Qin Ming, right? Remember him!!"

With the release of the battle video, there was no longer any doubt about the special recruitment. Everyone who watched the video praised Qin Ming's performance.

However, at the same time, some people have repeatedly ignored this.

"It's far too early to draw conclusions so soon!"

"Qin Ming is indeed a genius, but this is China, where there is no shortage of geniuses!"

"Furthermore, if a genius cannot transform their talent into strength, then even the strongest talent is useless!"

"The more talented you are, the more you need to cultivate yourself!"

"It's not a good thing for him to be exposed so early!"

"Does everyone still remember the event that shocked the Dragon Kingdom fifteen years ago?"

Sensing the scent of a secret, a newbie immediately asked, "What secret happened fifteen years ago? I was only in the third grade of elementary school at the time. Could you please tell me in detail?"

"Fifteen years ago, a young man with exceptional talent appeared in the Dragon Kingdom. He was more outstanding and dazzling than Qin Ming is now, but it was precisely because of his brilliance that he attracted the attention of the Illuminati."

"Everyone knows that the Illuminati is an organization composed of countless geniuses, and their only goal is to kill equally talented young people in order to maintain their power!"

"At that time, that exceptionally talented young man was assassinated by the Illuminati during a special training exercise in a secret realm, which ultimately became a regrettable event."

"After the incident, the top leadership of the Dragon Kingdom was furious and searched almost the entire country, but they didn't find much."

"In recent years, the killing of geniuses has continued in countries around the world."

"Therefore, the more talented one is, the more one should keep a low profile..."

"..."

Despite the many different opinions, there is no doubt that Qin Ming has appeared in the public eye for the first time and has gained a certain reputation in the trainer community.

Qin Ming didn't pay much attention to the online attention.

Therefore, he had another, more important task to complete at this time.

"Five million yuan has been received via Alipay."

"1.5 million yuan has been received via Alipay."

The champion of the selection competition and the Little Dragon Medal were both awarded, bringing joy to everyone.

At the Shenzhen University facility specifically for Pokémon training, Qin Ming, the champion of the selection competition, Lü Wanyun, the runner-up, and Luo Yongbin, the third-place winner, were all present.

Good morning, seniors.

In a good mood, Qin Ming took the initiative to greet him.

"Hey hey hey, bro's here."

The good-natured Luo Yongbin greeted him cheerfully, and Lü Wanyun waved back as a greeting.

"Everyone is here."

At this moment, Guo Jianguo walked over with a young man whose skin was as dark as Luo Yongbin's.

"Let me introduce it to you."

"This is Yin Yihang, a member of the Shenzhen City school team."

Guo Jianguo introduced them one by one: "This is Qin Ming, this is Lü Wanyun, and this is Luo Yongbin."

"Hello everyone."

Yin Yihang greeted each of them in turn.

According to the selection rules, the top three finishers are eligible to join the Shenzhen University team.

There are selection competitions every year, which means that three people join the Shenzhen University team every year. So why is there only Yin Yihang on the team?

Yin Yihang explained, "Including you guys, the Shenzhen University team has a total of 12 people, but right now only I am left at the school."

"Everyone else is training in the secret realm in preparation for next year's Crazy April."

"To be honest, I also plan to go to the secret realm for special training in a couple of days."

That's it!

Qin Ming understood, and at the same time, he was impressed by the hard work of his seniors.

"Alright, it's good that everyone has gotten to know each other."

"Next, we'll move on to the next step: choosing Pokémon from the starter Pokémon breeding farm."

Guo Jianguo led Qin Ming and the others outside, where a Buick GLS was already waiting.

The training base for the three top brands in Shenzhen is located in the suburbs. There are only two training bases for the three top brands in the entire Guangdong Province, one in Shenzhen and one in Guangzhou.

Basically, each province has only one breeding base for the top three companies. Guangdong Province has two breeding bases because it has two first-tier cities, namely Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen.
