Elf: Start with small diamonds, then mutate into Diancie!

The ticket was worth several thousand Shenzhou RMB for a reason. The service throughout the trip was meticulous, and they even tried to arrange a taxi to pick Su Hao up from the airport.

She was gentle, and I cried.

"No need, I'm going to take the subway."

It wasn't that Su Hao was afraid of riding in the Steel Armored Raven taxi; he had ridden in it countless times in Yangcheng.

The flight attendant seemed to think that Su Hao was afraid of heights, which was why he didn't take the Steel Raven taxi. Su Hao didn't explain, there was no need.

However, Su Hao heard that the Steel Raven taxis in Shanghai are different from those in Yangcheng, so he can take a look when he passes by later.

After getting off the plane, the first thing Su Hao saw through the transparent glass of the airport terminal was the Steel Raven parked outside the airport. When he got a little closer, Su Hao's eyes showed some fear.

In Yangcheng, a Corviknight taxi is a "metal box" similar to a cable car on a Ferris wheel, which Corviknight holds with its claws. There are usually only one to four passengers inside, and the driver rides on Corviknight's back.

The Steelrak taxi in Shanghai... or rather, let's call it a bus. A Steelrak was gripping a long carriage with its two claws. Su Hao, with his excellent eyesight, could see the sign on the carriage that read: Capacity: 12 people.

As Su Hao watched the Steel Raven bus take off fully loaded with passengers, a bead of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

Good heavens, is this swaying motion like riding a pirate ship?

Big cities are terrifying. Su Hao was glad he chose to travel by subway.

The subway system in the entire city is extensive, like a dense spider web covering and connecting the whole city.

When talking about subways, one naturally thinks of Pokémon related to the ground—Ground-type Pokémon.

To prevent these Ground-type Pokémon, which can burrow, from accidentally entering the subway tunnels, the Shanghai Metro deploys a large number of well-trained Ground-type Pokémon to patrol the entire tunnel every day.

The May Day holiday is long over, and residents are either back at work or going to school.

Unfortunately, it was during the peak hours of the Shanghai subway.

Chapter 141 Mahjong Navigation

It was midday, and the scorching sun was baking the earth.

Regardless of gender, every passenger entering the subway station to take the subway carries more or less the smell of sweat. At this time, it is the peak period, and the stuffiness caused by the crowd and the smell of sweat mix together, making it a little hard to breathe.

With temperatures neither too high nor too low, and the subway station itself being cooler than the ground level, it's not yet time to turn on the air conditioning.

"More, more, more!"

He heard Doron Mecia's pleading voice in his head, and Su Hao understood what he meant.

The little guy has been eating and drinking well every day since he was born. When has he ever suffered like this? After enlarging the deluxe ball and taking back Dorgon Mesia, Su Hao swallowed hard as he looked at the crowded people in front of him.

After squeezing onto the train with the flow of people, Su Hao sighed with relief that he was physically strong and hadn't been swept away by the disembarking crowd, otherwise he would have had to wait for the next subway.

His goal was to take the subway line 1 to the Breeders Association located in the center of Shanghai to schedule an exam. Su's mother's Evolution Research Institute was located in the suburbs of Shanghai.

Su Hao planned to find a hotel to rest after booking the exam, and then go to the Evolution Research Institute the next day.

After emerging from the stuffy, smelly, and enclosed train car, Su Hao headed towards the subway exit.

The closer he got to the exit, the fewer people there were, and the fresher the air became. He let out a long sigh and exclaimed how precious the fresh, clear air was.

I really don't know how my friends who squeeze onto the subway to go to work or school every day manage to get through it...

Each exit and entrance of the station is naturally staffed with patrolling police officers and police dogs.

The police dogs in the Shenzhou Alliance are of only a few breeds.

The most ordinary patrol and security personnel are usually equipped with common long-haired dogs and large wolfhounds, while more senior personnel are equipped with electric chasing dogs and thunder beasts.

As for Pokémon like Growlithe, Arcanine, and Lycanroc - Daylight Form, they are usually only equipped by special combat units or high-level players.

In particular, the Pokémon of the Growlithe family are basically completely monopolized by the police forces of the major leagues, and Su Hao was very curious about where Grandpa Wang's Arcanine came from.

Su Hao scanned the QR code on his phone at the checkpoint and successfully left the subway station, landing on the surface.

Since he didn't know the way, Su Hao simply handed everything over to the highly-rated "Mahjong Map" app on the market and followed the navigation instructions.

He followed the navigation, turning left and right, circling the area several times before returning to the starting point. Su Hao then fell silent, a rare occurrence for him.

Finding himself in a predicament, Su Hao chose to ask for help from those around him!

After looking around, Su Hao didn't choose any of the girls passing by, but instead picked a baby-faced boy carrying a canvas bag.

He was afraid of accidentally drawing the worst possible lot and encountering a girl who would insult him. He also knew that with such a large number of women, there would always be a few exceptions. So he decided to stick with this guy, who seemed easy to talk to.

Looking at the boy who was 1.6 meters tall and had a very youthful baby face, Su Hao guessed that the boy was probably a junior high school student.

After observing the details, Su Hao politely stopped the boy and asked, "Hello, young man, do you know how to get to the Breeders Association?"

"Are you... calling me?"

Xia Xiaoguang stared wide-eyed at Su Hao in disbelief.

Su Hao found the boy's reaction a bit too strong, but without thinking much of it, he immediately said, "Yeah, it seems you're a middle or high school student from around Shanghai, right? This is my first time in Shanghai, and I'd like to ask you to point me in the direction of the Breeders Association."

"I'm already a senior in college!" Xia Xiaoguang emphasized, raising his voice slightly. He hadn't expected to be mistaken for someone else's age again today!

Senior year of college!?

To avoid being discovered, Su Hao quickly scanned Xia Xiaoguang up and down a few times. No matter how he looked at him, Xia Xiaoguang didn't seem like a college student at all...

"Ah... excuse me, I'm a senior high school student from Yangcheng, Sichuan Province. Do you know which direction the Cultivation Association is in?"

Senior year of high school!?

Xia Xiaoguang tried to stand on tiptoe to be taller than Su Hao, who was clearly over 1.8 meters tall, but failed and felt extremely indignant.

What do high school students eat to grow up like this? How come they are all so tall and handsome?

Aside from his resentment towards his own height and appearance, Xia Xiaoguang looked at Su Hao with a puzzled expression, then pointed behind Su Hao: "Isn't the Breeders Association in that building behind the subway station?"

Su Hao: ? ? ?

After being reminded, Su Hao suddenly realized what was going on.

No wonder he kept going in circles. It turned out that this terrible navigation system had triggered some kind of bug, making Su Hao repeatedly circle around buildings that were clearly just a stone's throw away.

Su Hao made this blunder because he was not familiar with the terrain of Shanghai and followed the navigation without observing the surrounding area.

"So this is where it is... The navigation wasn't working. Thanks, senior, bye-bye!"

"It's alright, you..."

Before Xia Xiaoguang could even say "Be careful," Su Hao had already vanished in a flash.

Fearing that staying even a second longer would worsen the situation, Su Hao quickly thanked him and immediately ran away.

......

"Is this the Breeders Association?"

A very imposing building stood tall. When Su Hao saw the sign for the Cultivator Association at the entrance, he thought it was some kind of high-end office building.

According to the guides Su Hao found online, registering as a breeder with the Breeders Association requires three steps.

1. After the exam is scheduled, the Parents Association will notify the candidates to take the exam at a later date.

2. After being notified to take the exam, you need to bring your ID to the Breeders Association. The exam consists of two parts: a written test and a practical test.

3. After the exam is over and you pass, you will only have to wait a few minutes for a printed breeder certificate and other documents to be delivered to you.

PS: From the time of registration, breeders are divided into: junior breeders, intermediate breeders, senior breeders and master breeders. Breeders who have not yet been certified are collectively referred to as trainee breeders.

Currently, Su Hao will be taking the exam as a trainee incubator.

Fortunately, this parallel world version of himself had prior training records; otherwise, Su Hao would have had to find a way to become a trainee incubator first, which would have wasted a lot of time.

Upon entering the Breeders Association, the interior decoration changed from the opulent exterior to understated luxury, with a large number of people sitting quietly in the main hall.

Among them were young people of similar age to Su Hao, accompanied by their parents, as well as middle-aged people who came alone and were already in their forties.

After observing, Su Hao discovered that these people were all trainee breeders who were taking the junior breeder certificate exam. They sat nervously in the chairs in the hall, waiting for the examiner to call their numbers.

Su Hao felt that this scene was somewhat similar to when taking the driving test (parts 2 and 3).

People outside feel repressed, while those inside feel tense.

He walked straight past the trainee breeders preparing for their exams and went to the front desk of the Breeders Association.

"Hello, are you here to schedule an exam?"

"Yes, I would like to schedule the exam for junior breeder."

Chapter 142 Evolution Research Institute

"You've booked the Junior Breeder Exam, right? Please pay the registration fee of 50,000 Shenzhou Coins!"

The receptionist states the exam fee upfront, following the training procedure, which discourages many people who want to try their luck.

"Ok."

Su Hao had a general understanding of the fact that the Breeder Exam was chargeable, since once you became a Breeder, even a beginner Breeder could easily earn 50,000 Shenzhou Coins.

"Okay, we have received your payment. Please fill out the form."

Su Hao took the blank form handed to him by the receptionist and glanced at it.

Basically, it involves filling in your personal information and whether you have had any experience as a breeder.

Su Hao quickly filled out the form and handed it to the receptionist. After receiving notification that he would be taking the exam the next morning, he left the Breeders Association.

......

At 3 p.m., Su Hao took the subway, which was finally less congested, to the Evolution Research Institute located on the outskirts of Shanghai.

The Evolution Institute is a technologically advanced building with a facade that combines high-quality black glass curtain walls with gray metal panels.

The curved design on the curtain wall increases the sense of space in the building and also reflects the various colors of the surrounding environment. The gray metal sheet is also designed in a hexagonal shape, creating a shearing effect between it and the glass curtain wall.
