Chapter 201 "Just Like That"
"Who's narrating this strange tale? It's the Strange Tree!"
"Welcome to Qishu's Amazing Stories channel! This video is about exploring a restaurant... Hehehe! Qishu's really doing well~ I actually got a business order!"
As they walked onto the street, greeted by Rotom's camera lens, Kiki's adorable face widened, and cheerful words kept emanating from his raised, jubilant shark teeth.
"And the theme of this restaurant visit is..."
"It's a conscientious company in our Niangguang City—Yuemeng Company!"
As a popular live streamer on the internet, Qi Shu's popularity is undeniable. So when Qi Shu approached Yue Meng Company to discuss his willingness to promote Yue Meng Company, a conscientious local enterprise in Niangguang City, Yue Meng Company naturally did not refuse.
"This is our guest for this channel—Miss Higanbana from the Hoenn region!"
"Hmph hmph hmph... Hello everyone!"
Facing the camera, Xijiana put her hands on her hips, raised her head, and grinned foolishly, as if to say, "You invited me, so I had no choice but to come." But the comments scrolled by, all expressing almost the same meaning—"Who is this woman?"
Qi Shu blinked, quickly blocking the comments from Xi Jiana, and then hurriedly said, "Alright~ Without further ado, we've arrived at the entrance of Yue Meng Company. Hehehe~ The store visit officially begins!"
Then, Qi Shu led a group of four people—Qi Shu himself, guest Xi Jiana, and...
There is also a 'photographer', who is the cute and chubby Alolan Vulpix standing on her shoulder.
And a "lighting technician", with a little chubby guy floating beside him helping to lift the lighting panel.
Enter the interior of Nayuemeng Company.
Qi Shu was already greeted at the front desk of Yue Meng Company by a "guide," a young, white-haired man wearing a white coat.
"Hello, Qishu. My name is Fried, and I'm currently a researcher at Yuemeng Company. Let me show you the products. Although the company isn't big, we do have some research secrets!" Fried said with a hearty laugh.
Kiju: "Okay! Please!"
Next, it seems, is the process of visiting the store.
"YueMeng Company is a Pokémon research company, and we also sell products based on our Pokémon research. Although we are not as large as Devon Corporation or Maroccomon Group, after years of accumulation, we are confident that our products are no worse than theirs."
"Because of its small size, we only have this one company address. All our best research and products are gathered here, making it small but excellent."
Fried began his formal introduction, after all, it was just work, but then he suddenly felt he shouldn't be so serious, and joked, "If the entire YueMeng Company were blown up and destroyed, we'd probably suffer heavy losses, we'd lose everything, hahaha—"
Qi Shu exclaimed, "Wow! Aren't you afraid our competitors will bomb your company?"
Fried paused for a moment, then said, "Hmm... I don't think so..."
"After all, our company is full of experts and heavily guarded!"
"Take me for example, I'm a Pokémon professor who's an expert in battle, and my combat strength is not weak."
"Forget about making a huge fuss like blowing up our company; even sneaking into the company to steal secrets is impossible and has no chance of happening!"
"Hmm!"
Qi Shu's adorable face subtly hinted at something strange.
She pursed her lips, but couldn't help herself, so she went along with it and exclaimed, "Amazing!"
Fried chuckled twice, then said, "This area we're walking through is our product display area. Now let me introduce the essential products."
"This is the newly developed 'Spiderweaver Loom,' which, as the name suggests, is inspired by the Pokémon Spiderweaver. Their flexible limbs can precisely manipulate spider silk to create all sorts of traps. With this loom, it's like having a new Spiderweaver in your home—you'll never have to worry about mending or altering clothes again!"
"And this, this is the 'Painting Sprayer.' Just like how Painters can turn newly eaten food into poison and apply it everywhere, this sprayer can also turn various things into paint, allowing you to freely create your designs..."
Fried introduced them one by one.
The strange tree would occasionally let out a "Wow!" in response.
Unbeknownst to them, they gradually became more and more involved in Yuemeng Company.
And also, unbeknownst to him, during a moment when Fried's attention was distracted, the "photographer" and "lighting technician" of the Qishu team...
It's as if they've all become different people, as if they've been replaced by other Pokémon.
The photographer's bright eyes darted around, then he looked greedily at the biscuits on the table in the distance, which looked like the researchers' leftovers.
The lighting technician put on sunglasses, just to hide his clever little eyes underneath.
Inside YueMeng Company, in a small room that appeared to be an employee's room, there was a computer connected to the company's local area network. Below the computer...
There was also a fragile researcher wearing a white lab coat who had been knocked unconscious on the ground.
"Pink mist, crystals..."
"After my extensive review."
"The only connection is a project within the YueMeng Company that's marked as 'long abandoned,' named 'Eternal Grace.' But strangely, despite being an abandoned project, the information within it is strictly sealed off; I have absolutely no access to it."
"The researcher we knocked out clearly had pretty high privileges."
Xiao Lan sat in front of the computer, puzzled and distressed, and said, "Hmm, this blockade is too advanced. I only know a little about computers and I can't crack it at all. I can only get a so-called plan name, but I can't find anything."
Ze Shu said, "Let me try; perhaps I can solve it."
Xiao Lan stepped aside, exclaiming incredulously, "You can crack it? Ze Shu, are you a computer genius?!"
Ze Shu shook his head and laughed, "I'm not a computer genius, but there is someone who is."
He took out a USB drive, found the computer's data transfer port, and plugged it in. A pink Cassiopeia icon appeared on the computer screen, and after a while, a slightly hesitant voice came from the computer speakers.
"Teacher, what...what do you need me to do?"
"I want the highest level of access to this computer," Ze Shu said.
A timid voice continued, "Okay, it won't be long."
Little Blue, standing nearby, blinked in surprise. She recognized the voice coming from Cassiopeia—it was Peony, a café employee. Could Peony be a computer genius? Ze Shu hadn't told her that!
Seemingly noticing Xiao Lan's confusion, Ze Shu smiled and said, "Mudan is a computer genius."
So after bringing Peony to the shop, it was for this situation. Zeshu got a USB drive from Peony, a USB drive that could remotely connect to Peony, the "Cassiopeia," so that she could hack into the computer in front of Zeshu at any time—as long as there was a port, she could physically hack into it.
After all, some computers are on local area networks, like the one in front of us.
After all, having a top-notch hacker by your side is a good excuse to use him.
"Okay, all done... It's all cracked."
Soon, the Cassiopeia icon flashed, and the entire computer was now at Ze Shucai's mercy. He clicked on "Eternal Grace" and began to read it.
Soon, Ze Shu chuckled:
"This plan wasn't 'abandoned long ago,' but rather that YueMeng Company realized the danger of this substance and turned to researching the plan in secret, and they've done quite a bit of research on it."
"Let's go, this so-called 'eternal grace' lies deep within this company."
"Perhaps we'll have to fight."
Xiao Lan said, "Okay!"
Yuemeng Company is not large, and its staff is not many, but there are still quite a few people. They have to be constantly aware of the risk of being discovered.
Ze Shu and Xiao Lan were lucky; as they ventured deeper into the 'depths,' they first encountered two researchers dressed in white lab coats. Unfortunately for them, the researchers were knocked unconscious and their coats were ripped off.
This greatly reduces the risk of Ze Shu and Xiao Lan being discovered.
Before long, they arrived at a gate.
"We need identification cards; the two researchers we knocked out weren't high-level enough," Xiao Lan said after her investigation, delivering the bad news. But then she laughed and said, "But I have a way!"
She took out a card and swiped it, and the gate opened, revealing a narrow metal passage inside.
"This is the ID card of that guy named Fried outside. I just grabbed it when I left," Xiao Lan explained softly. "I didn't really want to frame him, considering he's a student of Luca, a regular at our café."
"But in this situation now..."
"I can only apologize!"
Walking into the narrow metal passage, you'll find the secret area that Fried mentioned earlier within the YueMeng Company.
There are quite a few Pokémon here for observation, but they are not treated as cruelly as Team Rocket had been to Zeju. On the contrary, they live quite well, plump and healthy, sleeping wherever they are.
So Ze Shu ignored them and went straight deeper to study the location of the "Eternal Grace". But a few minutes later, after passing through several narrow passages, they arrived at their target.
This is the entrance to a laboratory, guarded by a sentinel rat, a ladybug, and a slashing commander.
As soon as they approached, the sentry rat raised its tail, glared angrily with its rat-like eyes, recognized that these were strangers, and tried to make a warning sound.
But before it could even utter a sound, a black flash appeared, and a soldier with a dagger grabbed its sharp blade and thrust it straight at it!
There was a loud "clang".
The sentry mouse's tail was wagging, and it farted.
The sudden commotion startled the other two "guards." Just as the ladybug reacted and began to flutter its wings, trying to sound the alarm...
Suddenly, a heavy "whoosh" was heard.
The massive ground-crawling wing suddenly emerged from above the ladybug, pressing the ladybug down with its heavy body. By the time the ground-crawling wing slowly moved its body and crawled out, the ladybug was already flattened and looked like it was about to die.
Little Blue: "Hmph! Then, aiming at that cleaver commander, brute force!"
Having eaten and drunk its fill, the ground-crawling wing, which had gained a lot of weight in the past few days, naturally wouldn't disobey its owner's command. It immediately turned around, let out a roar, and swung its thick forelimbs at the slashing commander who was confronting the little soldier with the dagger!
!!!
The overwhelming force, four times more restrained, slammed the Commander into the metal wall, but the Pawnblade Soldier quickly followed up with a tile-splitting strike, completely ending its evolved form.
"Let's keep going." Ze Shu raised his hand and threw a red and white ball, smashing a spherical surveillance camera in the distance. "I suppose it won't be long before..."
People from that company will then arrive.
Although the guards didn't sound the alarm, the battle caused quite a commotion, especially when the Commander of the Slashing Beast was slammed against the wall by the Ground Wing, the tremor of which carried far.
When Ze Shu finally passed through the checkpoint guarded by the group of guards and entered the laboratory...
The cacophony and devastating sounds suddenly reached Ze Shu's ears, proving his divine power.
There were many glass-like boxes standing here, filled with pink mist, which made the Pokémon trapped inside all have bloodshot eyes and were banging their heads against the glass.
This is in stark contrast to the previous zone where the Pokémon had grown plump and healthy.
"This..." Little Blue's pupils contracted slightly.
"This is an experiment, testing the effects of this so-called 'Eternal Grace'." Ze Shu scoffed. "They're quite clever, using only weak Pokémon like Ladybug, Minifox, Rock-type, and Slug... That's why they can't break through the glass and escape when they're in a berserk state."
But suddenly, with a "click," the door in the back opened, and a man walked in.
"Thank you for the compliment. Yes, I am very smart. But you are not bad either. Tell me, how did you get in here? It's quite rare to see unrelated people here."
"By the way, let me introduce myself first. My name is Spinner."
"As for why I'm introducing my name to you, it's because you can't escape anymore."
"Heh, they just walked in like that. Your security is so bad, I imagine they could have walked out just as easily," Ze Shu said casually.
Looking around, he suddenly asked, "How's your research on this Laku element going?"
Spinel said, "Unfortunately, we can only experiment with these weak Pokémon that you mentioned at the moment."
Ze Shu took out the previous grand prize and asked, "What about this one? Is it also an experiment?"
Spinner nodded and said, "I see. So that's why I brought you here."
Ze Shu said, "That's quite an idea."
Spinell nodded in agreement: "I think so too, but that's not what I suggested. There always have to be some idiots in a team."
Okay, I've said enough. If I keep going, I'm afraid I'll get scolded too.
He sneered, holding the Poké Ball in his hand, and said:
"Let me see just how 'easily' you escaped!"
"However, before you witness my subsequent methods, you'll have to show me whether you actually have the strength to see them!"
But just as he was about to throw the Poké Ball, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his neck.
Then everything went black, and his body stumbled and fell helplessly to the ground. As he fell, his once confident eyes widened in surprise, as he tried to struggle to stay upright, but to no avail.
"How...how is this possible..."
Ze Shu shrugged and sighed: "You wanted to see how easy it was? Well, it's that easy. I suppose your so-called methods afterward..."
It seems I can't use it anymore.
This guy thought Ze Shu had so much free time to chat with him before.
Ah, youth.
Little Blue picked her up and ran back. Nidona, who had just stabbed Spinner in the neck, chuckled.
