Pokémon, you're not allowed to expel me from human form!

So when Luo Ke arrived at the Tian Sui Research Institute and explained that he had come with a research project, the people there led him to the location of the Ten Mysteries, assuming he was a scholar seeking advice from Tian Sui.

But Luo Ke was not a scholar, so he had no idea about the Ten Mysteries of Heavenly Age; he only thought it was a tradition of the research institute.

As for why there is such a strange tradition?

It's normal for geniuses to have some quirks.

If I can go visit her now, otherwise... wait for me tonight!

With this in mind, Luo Ke was quite different from other scholars. He was neither overly enthusiastic nor under any pressure, and remained calm and composed at all times.

His appearance immediately caught the attention of the scholars who were watching the deciphering.

"This gentleman seems very confident. It's been a long time since I've seen such a confident challenger."

"That's right. He's so confident even when faced with Lord Tian Sui's riddle. He must be very knowledgeable."

"It seems we'll see Lord Tian Sui's mystery solved again today."

The onlookers were marveling at this, and Luo Ke arrived at the first riddle.

[Puzzle: Open the mechanism box in front of you]

With the appearance of the request, the mechanism box also came into Rocco's view.

This mechanism box was designed by Tian Sui himself. It looks very high-tech. To open it, you need not only memory, but also logical thinking and spatial imagination.

In short, it certainly stumped a large number of scholars.

After picking up the item and looking at it briefly, Luo Ke turned his gaze to the side.

"No other requirements, as long as it can be opened, right?"

The staff member who brought Luo Ke here nodded immediately upon hearing what Luo Ke said.

"Yes, please follow me..."

Before he could finish speaking, the mechanism box, constructed of a special alloy and supposedly impossible for Snorlax to deform even if stepped on... was crushed by Rocco with his bare hands!

Then, naturally, the mechanism box opened, and a note with the word 'Congratulations' written on it appeared in Luo Ke's hand.

Whether it was the staff or the scholars watching, they all stared wide-eyed at this scene, completely dumbfounded!

It was Luo Ke's words that woke them up.

"I've opened the mechanism box, let's move on to the next level."

......

8. You don't solve puzzles at all, do you? (2)

"Lord Tian Sui, someone has come to solve the riddle you left behind!"

An anxious voice rang out in the research room. Tian Sui, who had stayed up all night and fallen asleep at his computer desk, opened his bleary eyes at the sound, rubbing his temples as he climbed up from the desk. He felt uncomfortable all over.

"...What's wrong? Has someone solved all ten riddles and is waiting to see me?"

When Tian Sui saw the researcher enter, this was her first thought.

But when the other party heard Tian Sui say that, their expression turned strange.

"No, Lord Tian Sui, the opponent hasn't completely solved all ten puzzles yet. It's just that the method they used to solve them... we all think you should go and take a look."

Ok?

The unexpected situation quickly brought Tian Sui back to his senses.

She casually picked up the mug on the table, stood up, got a cup of coffee from the coffee machine next to her, and then walked directly towards the door.

"Come on, since you all think so, I'll go take a look."

Tian Sui started to get interested.

The researchers in her institute were all handpicked by her. While not every one of them possessed a level of expertise that surpassed that of ordinary researchers, at least those who were accepted must have some skill that she considered adequate.

And what makes these guys exhibit this attitude...?

What exactly is the brilliant solution to this puzzle?

Tian Sui kept thinking about this the whole way. She had considered that the person coming this time was a super genius, or a quirky genius with unconventional thinking, but...

After arriving at the scene, she witnessed firsthand Luo Ke's solution to crack the ninth level, a password door.

Without cracking the password or hacking into the device... he kicked open that door that even an ordinary elf couldn't break through!

This scene left Tian Sui somewhat dumbfounded.

Then, while Luo Ke was moving toward the final puzzle, she took out a small handheld device and quickly accessed the previous surveillance footage, witnessing firsthand Luo Ke's previous solution to the puzzle.

A mechanical lock? Pry it open!

A maze? Crash through it!

Mobile platform? It's only a little over two hundred meters, I can just jump over it!

Tian Sui watched Luo Ke complete the challenges. He passed each one at an incredible speed that could break records, but how to put it...

If you say he had no intelligence at all, he broke through the level by brute force.

If you're talking about intelligence... he beat the level by brute force!

For the time being, Tian Sui was also unable to determine Luo Ke's condition.

After all, if she put herself in that situation even slightly, her genius mind would lead her to this conclusion: if she had such superpowers, then if you asked her to break through these puzzles at the fastest speed, her super intelligence would only tell her to use her superpowers quickly!

Because this is the optimal solution.

That's great wisdom!

but...

While Tian Sui was thinking this, Luo Ke had already solved the tenth level.

The tenth level involves sealing the key to victory against a wall with an energy shield. The normal approach is to figure out the technological circuits on the wall to unlock it and retrieve the key.

But Rocco managed to pry the pearl off with sheer force.

He didn't even glance at the technology circuits along the way, and after taking them off, he looked at the staff member next to him with some confusion, his clear eyes seeming to ask - where is the puzzle?

Looking at this guy, even though Tian Sui doesn't like to judge people by their appearance, he couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his eye.

"Great, great wisdom?"

...

In the end, Tian Sui still met Luo Ke.

After all, her rules were designed to be relatively flexible, so what Luo Ke did wasn't considered a foul, and... she was quite interested in Luo Ke as well.

As a genius, she had a different perspective on Luo Ke than ordinary people.

Based solely on visual inspection and calculations of the strength of those mechanisms, she didn't believe that Rocco harbored a superhuman strength beneath his skin, because data doesn't lie. If a real fight broke out... even if you gave the superhuman strength ten lives, it still couldn't defeat this guy!

That's an overestimation of superhuman strength!

What Luo Ke was showing Tian Sui at this moment was a completely new possibility that she had never discovered or even thought of before!

So even if Luo Ke wasn't a scholar, didn't bring a project, and came for her looks rather than her intelligence, Tian Sui would still feel it was a worthwhile deal.

After all, there are plenty of people with two eyes and one nose on the street. Even if the facial features are arranged in a more delicate way, you can find quite a few such "beauties" all over the world.

But it would be a miracle if there were even one person like Luo Ke in the whole world!

She made a killing.

However, that's what she thought, but Luo Ke didn't.

Although Tian Sui is exceptionally beautiful, she's still a bit short of Alice. She possesses top-tier looks, reaching the pinnacle of human beauty, similar to Eureka, but not quite at the level of a yokai like Alice.

Even when facing Alice, Rocco only sighed in his heart a few times in the very beginning, and that was all.

Tian Sui's appearance was not enough to catch his eye, so he took out all the research results on Z-Crystal that he had prepared beforehand.

"Ms. Tian Sui, I'm here to discuss a collaboration with you."

"These are research materials on a type of crystal. I named these crystals Z crystals and mobilized their internal power through resonance."

“But currently, apart from me, no one else can obviously do something similar, so I thought, could we make something like a bracelet that can amplify the resonance between people and crystals?”

While handing over the materials, Luo Ke explained his understanding of the Z-bracelet and Z-crystal to Tian Sui.

At first, Tian Sui listened attentively after discovering that Luo Ke had indeed brought a project, but the more Luo Ke talked, the stranger her expression became.

She finally spoke up and exclaimed after Luo Ke finished speaking.

"Speaking of which, since I didn't watch the live broadcast of the Baping City Cheating Competition, I only watched the Chaos Crystal press conference, so I only know your name and have never seen what you look like—so you are Luo Ke, the one who used the Z Crystal for the first time."

"And... you don't even have a team, yet you came to me for cooperation."

Luo Ke was puzzled when he heard Tian Sui say that.

"Is there something wrong?"

"No! Rather, thank you for taking me with you. I really needed a lot of money, you've been a great help."

...

Just as Luo Ke and Tian Sui reached an agreement, Bai Youyou returned!

She is the gym leader of the Ghostly Gym. Although someone stayed behind for her when she left, it's not good to be away for too long.

Even after returning, Bai Youyou was still thinking about Eureka.

She knew that Eureka had absolutely no experience in relationships and was afraid that Eureka would be deceived—but at the same time, she respected Eureka and would not investigate her unnecessarily because of her own suspicions, or even take the initiative to approach Mr. Rocco.

So even after returning to the dojo, she was still sighing as she lay in bed in the night.

"I wish that kid Luo Ke would come looking for me on his own!"

"Eh!"

......

9. Tian Sui: Why is dancing useful at all?!

Tian Sui was indeed a genius, a fact that Luo Ke realized after spending some time with her.

He had also read the doctor's materials. Although he couldn't understand a lot of the highly academic material, he could still get a general idea based on his knowledge of Z-Gemstones and finished Z-Moves.

The doctor had considered using resonance to guide the power inside the Z-Crystal, but the power inside the Z-Crystal was too stable, and he could only think of a way to slightly interfere with it, no matter how hard he tried.

That's why he developed the Chaos Crystal.

However, after hearing about Luo Ke's idea, Tian Sui came up with a preliminary resonance plan in just one night. After seeing Luo Ke use the Z-Move once, he changed his approach and adjusted the resonance connection, using the bracelet device to strengthen the connection.

What a doctoral student had failed to overcome in decades of research, Tian Sui conquered in a single day.

From this, Luo Ke could imagine that when the doctor came to Tian Sui with his research for advice, the old man must have been hiding something, afraid that Tian Sui would steal his results. In the end, he ended up getting something that was neither fish nor fowl, and he also went down the wrong path and wasted his time.

But to say that the Z-band is finished... well, not quite.

While the current bracelet can enhance Roko's resonance with the Z Crystal, Roko doesn't need it to use Z-Moves, so it's not very useful. And for most people, having such a bracelet is still not enough.

"This shouldn't be the case. The data is all normal, there are no other problems, and the resonance has been achieved, but the power inside the Z-Crystal is not active at all under this resonance. Where exactly is the problem?"

Even geniuses get stuck.

It's no wonder the Alliance hasn't paid attention to Z-Crystals for so many years and no one has ever successfully developed them.

It's too difficult to develop!

But Luo Ke looked at Tian Sui, who was wearing a bracelet, and seemed to be deep in thought.

His research ability was basically zero, and he shouldn't even have the right to interrupt in front of Tian Sui. But Luo Ke's advantage was that he had played the game and knew what the Z-Move should look like.

This led him to discover something very quickly.

He didn't dance during the Tian Sui resonance!

So Luo Ke came to Tian Sui's side.

"Tian Sui, when you resonate with the power inside Flight Z, do this first, then squat down, then flap your hands, and finally strike this pose!"
