Pokémon: Having just completed the Pokédex, I'm now traversing the world of Beast Taming.

"You are all good children."

"To reach that A-level at this age is considered exceptional talent."

"I'm giving each of you a chance. If you have any questions about beast taming, you can come and ask me."

"According to your rankings, Sun She, you go first."

Professor Yan glanced at the ranking list in his hand and began to call out names.

"Where am I ranked? Aren't I number one? I feel like I can easily defeat Sun She!" Chi Hong whispered in President Li's ear.

"You didn't participate in the assessment. What you did was just private practice."

"You didn't actually participate in the assessment. I thought you didn't really care about this kind of empty title."

Mr. Li said in surprise, "Although Chi Hong said some impressive things, he didn't participate in the recent assessments at all."

"Yeah?"

"Is that how you see me?"

Chi Hong asked in surprise.

"Could it be... no?" Mr. Li asked, somewhat puzzled.

"No, you're right. I'm the kind of man who doesn't care about empty fame." Chi Hong nodded affirmatively.

General Manager Li: "........"

Chi Hong wasn't in a hurry, nor did he use his special privileges to directly curry favor with Professor Yan. He simply watched calmly from the sidelines.

It turns out that even beast tamers have so many problems: low synchronization rate between pets and beasts, pets not learning skills, and poor effects of their own beast tamer skills, etc. Professor Yan answered and helped with each problem very seriously.

Finally, it was Chi Hong's turn. Almost everyone else had left, except for Sun She, President Li, and Deng Jiahao.

Everyone there was someone I knew!

"Alright, that's enough for today. Chi Hong, how about coming over for dinner tonight?"

"I'm just an old man living alone, and I often feel lonely..."

Professor Yan smiled and looked at Chi Hong, asking a question.

"Is that all? But Professor Yan, I haven't asked you anything yet."

"get out of class is... over already?"

Chi Hong was a little confused. He didn't want to use facial recognition, but he couldn't just ignore it!

"Nonsense! I never extend get out of class time. Class is over, how can I keep you from resting?" Professor Yan said seriously. "Besides, I know your abilities. Those questions about beast taming from those students shouldn't be a problem for you, right?"

joke!

This kid actually comes to school?

With that pet, that synchronization rate, and that skill power, is there any student in this school who can be his match?

Could any normal teacher teach this student? He's utterly shameless!

"Professor Yan, but I don't know how to sense auras."

"Nobody has taught me that yet."

Chi Hong wasn't afraid of losing face, so he spoke out directly.

This ability to sense aura is something that all beast tamers possess; it's a basic skill, and you can even find tutorials online, though of course, you'll need to pay to learn it.

Pay?

What a joke! Chi Hong would never spend money to be a sucker. If he can't learn it and can't get a refund, it has nothing to do with whether he has money or not.

He's rich now, but he's not stupid...

"real?"

Professor Yan looked suspicious, and the other students also looked surprised.

Is there anyone who doesn't know how to sense aura?

"Yes." Chi Hong nodded vigorously.

"That's easy, I'll teach you during dinner tonight."

"get out of class dismissed."

Professor Yan nodded, then turned and left.

In the evening, Professor Yan cooked four dishes, and the grandfather and grandson had dinner together. Chi Hong also drank some wine.

At 18, one is an adult and can drink alcohol.

Sure enough, aura perception is a very simple skill. Professor Yan only explained the principle, and Chi Hong learned it.

Professor Yan was very surprised by this, as it would normally take a normal person several days to learn!

Is his talent truly terrifying?

After bidding farewell to Professor Yan, Chi Hong disappeared into the night...

"This little guy looks murderous; what's he up to now?"

Professor Yan looked at the moonlight outside the window and smiled as he murmured to himself.

Chi Hong arrived at the home of a wealthy family, only to find wreaths placed in the courtyard.

Someone died?

Lu Yao spent some time investigating the buyers and sellers of Wangyuehu thoroughly!

It was this family that sent the Moon Fox to the underground auction house.

"What a coincidence? I came to see him today, and he died?"

"Then who should I ask for the money? You must understand that those who act without due process are not entitled to any interest payments. Thinking about it carefully, since it involves Wangyuehu, it's equivalent to me paying for it!"

"Then let's find another one!"

The Moon Fox passed through the hands of three people; this was the last one to die.

There are two more ahead!

So, under the cover of night, Chi Hong rushed to another person's house, only to find...

He died too!

Or perhaps both husband and wife died!

Something's not right...

Chi Hong felt something was off. This couldn't be a coincidence; there was no way it could be so coincidental!

So he rushed to the first house, which was the first person Li Lianzhu's mother had sold the goods to.

result.....

They didn't hold a funeral, but the guy who bought the Moon Fox died at home; his body was practically rotting...

No one has noticed it yet, and it's already emitting a strong stench of decay!

"........."

Chi Hong felt a deep sense of powerlessness, as if a hand had reached out from the next stall and forcibly wiped his butt after he finished using the toilet!

Moreover, he couldn't stop that intense sense of unease from filling his heart.

"Then there's only one left..."

Chi Hong's gaze was deep and unfathomable as he disappeared into the night once more.

At this moment, Li Lianzhu was at home, having just returned from a long day of part-time work.

When I got home, I found my mother having a great time with two young men.

Her face darkened instantly, and without saying anything, she quickly walked back to her room.

My family is considered wealthy!

However, Li Lianzhu still had to take on part-time jobs to earn a living, because the Li family had fallen on hard times after her father's death.

The company is long gone; this villa is the last bit of face left for Li Lianzhu's family.

There was no other reason than that Li Lianzhu's mother had plastic surgery, took drugs, and slept with young men.

She squandered all her money over the past few years.

"Oh my! Is that your daughter?"

"Call them out to play together!"

"Yeah, yeah, let's all have some fun!"

"Okay, I'll go get her!"

Laughter echoed through the villa. Li Lianzhu knew that her mother had kowtowed again; this had happened countless times before.

All she had to do each time was lock the door. The house was in complete chaos; her father had died a few days ago, and her mother had handled it hastily, without even holding a funeral...

They didn't even notify their relatives.

The sound of banging on the door urged her to go out and play.

In situations like this, she can only hug her knees, curl up on the bed, and cry...

But today was strange; the noise from outside quickly disappeared.

And then there were faint, strange noises.

Li Lianzhu forced herself to open the door a crack, suppressing her fear.

The two men had already run away. On the ground by the door, his mother's eyes were bloodshot, and there was still an excited expression on her face, but her body was no longer moving.

She trembled as she reached out to check her breath; she was dead.

"Drugs...died from overdosing?"

"Oh....."

In an instant, Li Lianzhu seemed to have seen the light. She held her mother's head in her arms and gently closed her eyelids.

"Why are you treating me like this? Why does everyone treat me like this...?"

"What...should I do...?"

Li Lianzhu's expression became blank, and he muttered to himself.

Outside the window, Chi Hong's expression was also blank...

He saw it.

"I suspect I've been set up..." Chi Hong turned to look at Zoroark.

"whee...."

Zoroark covered his mouth with his paw and chuckled.
