Chương 109: Chapter 109: Gifted Student from NanDa_1
Sunday, after the theoretical course of the New Star Program, Fang Yuan checked the review progress of his paper as usual.
He discovered, to his delight, that the paper he had submitted had passed another round of review.
"The lowest fee for a paper that discovers a new ability is 50,000 yuan, and that's for abilities that are practically worthless. For an ability with significant practical use like Dangerous Premonition, it must be at least a six-figure sum, right?"
Fang Yuan's savings were dwindling, having already spent half of his prize money from the Little Phoenix King Cup.
In a little while, he would really be short of money.
"If the fee for the paper isn't enough, I'll just have to ask Father Fang and Mother Fang."
Father Fang and Mother Fang had prepared 300,000 yuan for Fang Yuan, all of which was deposited in their card.
Of that, 200,000 yuan was for tuition fees.
The remaining 100,000 yuan was to be used for cultivating Fang Yuan's Pokémon.
Now, because of the benefits from the New Star Program, there was no need to pay for tuition, so the full 300,000 yuan could be spent on cultivating Pokémon.
However, since he still had some savings on hand, Fang Yuan hadn't asked Father Fang and Mother Fang for this money yet.
"The 300,000 yuan from my parents, the few tens of thousands I have left, the paper's fee, the regular scholarship from school, and the subsidy from the Trainer Association should be enough to get me through my senior year," Fang Yuan calculated quickly and sighed with relief.
...
"Eevee, Magnemite, let's go out for special training this afternoon!"
After lunch, Fang Yuan called for Eevee and Magnemite after coming home and taking a nap.
With the ointment given by Yang Han, Fang Yuan wanted to take advantage of the momentum and hurry to teach Eevee Iron Tail, then move on to the next phase of training.
"Bwoo..." Eevee, sleepy-eyed, climbed up and then flopped back down.
"Eevee?"
"Magnemite, give it a little Electric Shock, just one volt will do."
Zap!
Eevee suddenly stood up with its fur standing on end.
"Bwoo!" Eevee glared at Magnemite and then turned to look at Fang Yuan with a complex expression, as if to say, fine, let's go, but was that shock really necessary?
Fang Yuan shrugged; there was no better way to wake up Eevee than with an Electric Shock.
Seeing Eevee and Magnemite ready, Fang Yuan also changed his clothes.
But just then, his phone rang. It was an unknown number.
"Hello?" Fang Yuan said.
There was silence on the other end.
After a while, the voice on the other end said, "Hello, I am Qin Shi Huang. I've been accidentally revived by a Pokémon and now I have several thousand tons of gold buried underground that I can't extract. I need your help. Lend me 5000 yuan, and when I succeed, you will be rewarded with plentiful gold and may you become the strongest Trainer."
Fang Yuan: "..."
A scam call?
"Heh..." Fang Yuan hung up without another word. I'm Arceus for crying out loud.
Fang Yuan continued to dress, but soon the phone rang again.
It was another unknown number.
"Endless, huh." Fang Yuan couldn't help but laugh. Scam calls usually only came occasionally, but today they were back-to-back. Did they really think Fang Yuan was easy to mess with?
Fang Yuan answered the phone.
"Hello? Who is this?" Fang Yuan said straightforwardly.
"Hello, I am Wen Siyu, an Elves Researcher..." A female voice came from the other side.
Fang Yuan raised an eyebrow. This time the scammer had changed identities. Compared to Qin Shi Huang, this one seemed a bit more down to earth.
"Oh... this is Patrick Star," Fang Yuan said.
Meanwhile, on the maglev heading to Pingcheng, a woman dressed as a white scholar showed a bewildered expression.
"What star?"
"Patrick Star."
"Sorry, I must have dialed the wrong number." Wen Siyu, the intern sent to Pingcheng by Researcher Aoki, took a deep breath, checked the number again...
It was correct... And what was Patrick Star, a Pokémon?
Confused, she called again and no one answered. When she tried once more, she finally got through.
Wen Siyu only heard a voice say, "Bwoo?"
"Bwoo?" Wen Siyu was baffled. What was this thing answering the phone now?
"Hello, is this Student Fang Yuan? Have you submitted a paper to 'Home of Elves'..."
"Bwoo!!"
Wen Siyu was utterly confused, but then there was a commotion on the other end, and the voice switched back to one she could understand.
"Ah, yes, I'm Fang Yuan. I did submit a paper," Fang Yuan's eyelid twitched.
This time it wasn't a scam...
Next to Fang Yuan, Eevee was rolling on the ground, laughing. Seeing Fang Yuan embarrassed, even Magnemite seemed to be in a better mood.
"No problem, three o'clock in the afternoon, E entrance of Pingcheng Building, alright, see you then." Fang Yuan wiped away sweat and turned to Eevee and Magnemite.
"We still need to train, and the meeting isn't until after three, so let's go."
Eevee: (◞‸◟)
ᑞ(⊙)ᑡ: "Magnemite!"
Eevee showed an expression of how could you do this while Magnemite responded to Fang Yuan. Fang Yuan loved hearing Magnemite speak, even though he couldn't understand it. No matter what Fang Yuan said, Magnemite always replied "okay," "okay," which made him very satisfied.
As for Eevee... it was always "no way," "no way," and it got annoying to listen to.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, at the E entrance of Pingcheng Building, Fang Yuan waited for the talented student from NanDa who had asked to meet him.
Soon, Wen Siyu, the intern who had called Fang Yuan, arrived.
After they met, Wen Siyu glanced at the Eevee on Fang Yuan's shoulder and then back at Fang Yuan, smiling, "Hello, let me introduce myself again. I'm a student of Professor Xu Qingmu, and I'm here about the paper you submitted on the 'Dangerous Premonition' ability."
"Hello, I'm the New Trainer Fang Yuan, and this is my partner, Eevee," Fang Yuan said.
While introducing, Fang Yuan took the chance to observe Researcher Wen Siyu. She seemed quite young, around twenty-three or twenty-four years old perhaps?
Little did he know, Wen Siyu was even more astonished to see Fang Yuan in person. Although she had known that the person who discovered the new ability was just a high school student, seeing him face to face still forced her to admire him.
Comparing yourself with others can sometimes kill your spirit.
All she could do under Professor Xu Qingmu's mentorship was to write average papers or investigative reports. Someone like Fang Yuan who wrote a paper about a new ability in high school was considered an anomaly in their circles.
"Let's find a place to talk," Wen Siyu suggested after checking the time. "How about we go to the coffee shop next door?"
"Sure," Fang Yuan nodded, having no objections.
After arriving at the coffee shop, Wen Siyu explained her purpose. She hoped Fang Yuan could assist them in validating the newly discovered ability.
