Chat group: Taming Kuina, controlling Cynthia

"Thank you so much!"

Connor's eyes curved into crescents, and his dragon tail swayed happily from side to side.

...

In the early morning in the Forbidden City, Zhu Youjian closed the book in his hand.

The strategies for governing the country that Gu Beichen sent him suddenly enlightened him.

Taking advantage of the turmoil in the court, he decisively reactivated the Embroidered Uniform Guard and launched a purge of corrupt officials.

"Wang Banban, proceed according to the list."

Zhu Youjian handed the booklet to his trusted eunuch, saying, "Those who defect to the enemy will be imprisoned, and those who flee from office will have their homes confiscated. Not a single one will be spared."

At the same time, three thousand carefully selected eunuchs began practicing the newly acquired "Sunflower Manual" and "Evil-Repelling Sword Manual".

These two quick-success methods are inexpensive and perfect for the current situation where military force is urgently needed.

Zhu Youjian sold the precious medicinal herbs stored in the palace to earn points, and quickly gathered the amount he needed for cultivation.

With progress in his cultivation and the confiscated silver entering the treasury, the young emperor finally gained confidence.

The news spread like wildfire.

The officials who had fled to Tianjin hurriedly turned back, and Wu Sangui of Shanhaiguan immediately reorganized the defenses.

The Qing army learned of the changes in the Ming court, and their offensive stalled.

The Later Jin dynasty dispatched numerous spies to infiltrate the Forbidden City in an attempt to uncover the truth behind the "divine descent to earth."

The truth.

Chinuhaci and Dorgon were eager to find out the reason for the annihilation of Li Zicheng's army, and this mysterious force made them dare not act rashly.

Zhu Youjian learned about the movements at Shanhaiguan through the Embroidered Uniform Guard. He was busy training the eunuch troops and sending people to collect martial arts manuals and precious medicinal materials.

He temporarily set aside matters of the court and focused on enhancing his strength, preparing to annihilate the Later Jin forces in one fell swoop in the future.

In Soul Society, Aizen is planning his future in the Fifth Division barracks.

After breaking free from his constraints, he decided to go into seclusion to cultivate and integrate the various techniques he had obtained from the chat group.

He planned to deal with the threat from the Invisible Empire first and was already preparing to report the relevant information to Captain-Commander Yamamoto Genryusai.

Gu Beichen received a video call from Shirona as soon as he got home.

He was somewhat surprised to see that the other person had already returned to the Pokémon world.

Hilona explained that the negotiations progressed smoothly due to the active cooperation of the Chinese side, so she returned ahead of schedule.

"The cooperation between the Sinnoh region and the Dragon Kingdom has been finalized, and the negotiations at the League headquarters are almost done. I don't need to get involved in the remaining minor details."

Gu Beichen smiled and said, "That's great!"

He has a deep affinity for the culture of the Chinese people and naturally hopes for harmonious relations between the two sides.

That was the initial intention behind facilitating the cooperation between Sinnoh and the Dragon Kingdom.

Cynthia nodded: "It went very smoothly."

I heard that things aren't so easy for Wataru and Daigo, especially the island nation that Daigo is in charge of.

Chapter 49: Okay, I agree.

Interestingly, that place is quite similar to the Hoenn region.

Gu Beichen almost burst out laughing.

How could he not know? The Hoenn region is modeled after Kyushu Island, and other regions also have real-world counterparts, so it's normal for them to resemble each other.

However, with Daigo involved, the island nation's cooperation will be successful sooner or later—seeing that China is almost finished, the island nation and the United States on Earth will certainly not be willing to fall behind.

"You came back alone? How's the construction going at the branch office over there, Naz? Do you need me to come and lend a hand?"

Gu Beichen asked.

Naz suddenly leaned in front of the camera, a slight smile playing on her lips: "It's going very smoothly."

Thanks to your help in selecting the location beforehand, and the smooth negotiations with Longguo, the project has already started.

If we bring in a Pokémon construction team, it should be finished in about a month.

She paused for a moment, then said, "But we'll have to rely on you to contact the construction team; you have a wider network of connections."

Gu Beichen's reputation, built up through competitions in various regions, is no joke; he has won championships in every league.

"I will handle it."

He readily agreed, "Where are you now? Do you want me to come pick you up? My teleportation ability has improved again."

"Then come over here! We're on our way to the Kanto Alliance headquarters!"

Cynthia teased with a smile.

Gu Beichen readily agreed: "Okay, I'll be right there."

Before he finished speaking, his figure had already disappeared from his home and appeared in the sky above the sea.

With his current cultivation level, he can hover steadily in the air without any assistance.

After confirming the direction, he locked onto the location in the Kanto region and teleported twice to appear in the car where Cynthia and Sabrina were riding.

"what!"

The two women and the driver were startled by his sudden appearance, and the car skidded violently, almost crashing into the guardrail.

"Beware!"

Gu Beichen immediately used his telekinetic powers to stabilize the car and then cast a calming spell on the driver.

"How did you get here so fast? Were you in the Kanto region the whole time?"

Cynthia lightly punched him.

Sabrina keenly sensed the change in his aura: "Did you teleport directly from Sinnoh?"

It's important to know that the two places are tens of thousands of kilometers apart, and even the closest area is more than a thousand kilometers away.

Previously, he could only teleport up to 500 kilometers at most, and that required a huge amount of energy.

"Naza is so smart!"

Gu Beichen smiled and ruffled her hair. "Thanks to the Origin of Time and Space given to me by Dialga and Palkia, I have gained a basic understanding of the laws of time and space."

The current maximum teleportation distance is 5,000 kilometers, with only one percent of the original energy consumption.

The driver muttered in confusion, "Why is there no sound from behind? I could clearly feel them talking."

He only heard one word: "Be careful."

The rest of the text was censored.

This must have been done by Gu Beichen; some secrets are indeed not suitable for the Alliance to know.

"Five thousand kilometers? That means I can get home in just two or three teleportations?"

Cynthia and Natsu both wore expressions of disbelief.

This distance was completely beyond their comprehension.

No wonder you dared to guarantee that you would send us home.

However, we need to go to the league headquarters to talk to Chairman D'Amaranchine first before we can go back.

I'm so sorry.

Cynthia said apologetically.

She felt bad that Gu Beichen had made such a long trip and had to wait for her.

Gu Beichen waved his hand dismissively: "Perfect timing. Last time when I went to Blue Star, President Damaranchi promised to let me pick ten items from the Alliance Treasury. I'll just go and get them this time."

"Ten items?"

Cynthia and Sabrina exclaimed in unison.

"I only got two chances to represent the alliance on Earth this time."

Cynthia sighed helplessly.

However, she was also aware of the great risks Gu Beichen had taken. If it weren't for the fact that it involved the two gods of time and space, she would never have agreed to this arrangement.

"I've never done it even once."

"Naza said calmly."

“You represent a private company, so the nature of the business is different.”

I work for the league, after all.

Cynthia pouted.

"If you think it's not enough, you can come with me to pick some more later."

That's exactly what I was struggling to choose.

Gu Beichen smiled and put his arms around their waists.

"It's a deal! I've been wanting to see what good stuff is in the Alliance's treasury for ages."

"Naza can't wait to say it," she said.

Cynthia did go once; it was as a reward for winning the championship.

"Oh, right, you'll have to come with us to China later."

Cynthia suddenly said.

"why?"

Gu Beichen was a little confused. Hadn't he completed all his missions? But it wouldn't hurt to take a trip to the Dragon Kingdom.

Sinnoh and the Kanto Alliance headquarters have established a space passage directly to the Dragon Kingdom, with the Kanto passage leading directly to the Dragon Capital.

"The Grand Elder of the Dragon Kingdom would like to invite you to their Pokémon League opening ceremony and the first Gym Finals. He also hopes that we can hold an exhibition match to showcase the charm of Pokémon to Earth."

Naz added, "They probably want to see the champion's true strength."

Cynthia then asked, "We'll be sending two Elite Four level trainers to participate in the exhibition match. Do you want to go?"

"Of course I want to go."

Gu Beichen readily replied, "Their thinking is perfectly normal."

Currently, the level of the little elves on Earth is generally not high; the high-level ones live deep in the mountains and are rarely encountered by humans.

This event may also be related to the future distribution of profits.

He smiled mysteriously: "But they probably don't know yet that high-destructive weapons like nuclear and hydrogen bombs will soon become ineffective."

"what?"

Cynthia and Sabrina exchanged a surprised glance. "Why didn't you tell me about something so important sooner?"

Gu Beichen had already guessed that Cynthia and Natsume would think this way, and he explained, "These weapons will take one to two years to become ineffective, and saying it now will only cause unnecessary panic."

Moreover, how long can an agreement reached through threats last? It might even trigger a war.

It wasn't that he distrusted the Alliance headquarters; it was just that there were too few truly visionary people like Damaranchi, and most of the seats were controlled by various families and conglomerates.

These profit-driven individuals might actually cause trouble if they find out.

"I've already planned to remind the Dragon Kingdom to be prepared when I go to Earth next time."

Gu Beichen added.

Although two years is not enough for Blue Star to catch up with the league level, it at least gives them a buffer period.

Given the way things are done in China, this favor will surely be repaid in the future.

Cynthia and Natsume both agreed after hearing this.

The three chatted and soon arrived at the headquarters of the Kanto Alliance.

As soon as I got off the bus, I ran into D'Amaranchi and his entourage, who had also just arrived.
