Chapter 119 When to confess?
Li Shuwen broke the silence, "Doctor, I'd like to ask about the growing conditions for red lotus fruit. Can it be grown in the current large wetlands?"
"I plan to plant some for my friends."
Dr. Mustard Orchid raised an eyebrow. "Your friend? What kind of friend needs a red lotus fruit from a thousand years ago?"
Li Shuwen said, "I was fortunate enough to learn some information about Ancient Sinnoh, and based on her appearance, I judged her to be a Goodra living in Ancient Sinnoh!"
"I don't know how I ended up in our era."
Since people in this era are unlucky enough to be brought to the era of jade washing.
So it's quite normal for Pokémon from the Green Age to come to this age.
It wasn't the protagonist brought to the era of the Emeralds by Arceus, but rather the unfortunate Metro Commander.
Is it heading north or south?
Professor Mustard's eyes immediately lit up. "The Ancient Sinnoh Goodra?"
Not only Dr. Mustard, but even Cynthia was somewhat curious.
"Do you still have that ancient book that you read about the ancient Nymphaloid dragon?"
Li Shuwen shook his head. "It's gone. I don't know how that book disappeared."
Li Shuwen heard from Dr. Yamanashi that many of the books in his family about that era called Xicui had disappeared so suddenly.
He used this reason, and neither Cynthia nor Dr. Mustard would doubt it.
Dr. Mustard stroked his chin and said, "Perhaps the Great One Sinnoh doesn't want us to know the stories of that era."
"Cynthia, go with him to meet that Golem and see if you can learn anything about that era from it."
"Go and pick all the ripe red lotus fruits and bring them to Nianmeilulong as a gift."
Cynthia nodded. "Okay, Grandma, leave it to me."
After Cynthia left, Dr. Mustard looked at Li Shuwen and said, "The wild doesn't have the conditions for growing red lotus fruit. If you want to grow red lotus fruit, you can only build a greenhouse like a cultivation garden."
"If you want to plant it in the wild, you must meet quite complicated conditions. Come with me, I'll find the relevant records."
In a cabinet full of documents, Jie Zilan took out a file folder and handed it to Li Shuwen.
"It's all in here. Make a copy and take it home to read at your leisure."
Li Shuwen looked grateful. "Thank you, Dr. Jiezilan."
Professor Mustard smiled and asked, "Young man, how strong are you? Where do you rank among the Sinnoh Gym Leaders? When will you be able to officially take over as Gym Leader?"
"Do you have any plans to challenge for a spot among the Four Heavenly Kings?"
A series of questions made Li Shuwen blink blankly.
Li Shuwen thought for a moment, "I don't know exactly where I'll rank since I haven't played against them. It will probably take another four months to take over the Guandian Hall."
"As for challenging the Four Heavenly Kings, I do have that idea."
Dr. Mustard nodded in satisfaction, saying that only those with the same goals can go far.
Dr. Mustard smiled and said, "As an elder of Shenhe Town, I am responsible for teaching the Heavenly Dragon Meteor. After you subdue the Numeru Dragon, you can bring her to me."
"Let me teach you the cultivation method of the Heavenly Dragon Meteor."
Li Shuwen bowed gratefully, "Thank you, Dr. Jiezilan."
Dr. Mustard waved his hand, "Alright, you and Cynthia go ahead and get busy. I still have some research to do."
She went to great lengths to get Cynthia married off as soon as possible.
Li Shuwen nodded. "Okay."
The red lotus fruit must be given to Nymphalosaurus; Cynthia cannot pick it alone.
When Li Shuwen returned to the red lotus fruit orchard, he found Xilona picking and eating the fruit.
Seeing Li Shuwen approach, Cynthia handed him the red lotus fruit.
"You should try some too."
Li Shuwen took the red lotus fruit, picked one up, and put it in his mouth.
It's sweet and sour with a crunchy texture.
Nymphalosaurus would definitely love it.
"It's not the time when red lotus fruits are ripe in large quantities yet. I remember one year, there was a bumper harvest of red lotus fruits, and all the residents of Shenhe Town were able to eat them."
Li Shuwen personally picked nearly thirty ripe red lotus fruits from a single stem.
In a corner of the park, there are large baskets used to hold red lotus fruits.
Li Shuwen picked a large basketful. "Miss Cynthia, this is enough for the merolos to eat. I don't think we need to pick any more."
Cynthia waved her hand, "Red lotus fruits can be stored for a relatively long time, so pick more."
Since Cynthia said so, Li Shuwen continued picking.
She picked four whole baskets, and if Li Shuwen hadn't been worried about not having enough room in the trunk, Shirona would have continued picking.
After loading the red lotus fruits into the trunk with a cart, Li Shuwen asked, "Miss Cynthia, shall we ride with me to the Wilderness Area?"
Cynthia smiled and declined, "I'll drive my car. After I see the Nymphaloid, I'll come back and report what I've learned to my grandmother."
Li Shuwen waved his hand and said, "I'm fine, I can take you back later."
Cynthia nodded, "Alright."
On the way to the Great Wetlands, Li Shuwen asked curiously, "Is Miss Cynthia preparing to challenge for the Elite Four title?"
Cynthia raised an eyebrow. "Kikuno is a very tough opponent. She is the biggest obstacle to winning the Elite Four title."
"And then there's Gosho, that guy's Psychic Pokémon are also a real pain."
Cynthia smiled knowingly. "So you're already gathering information about the Elite Four so soon, are you preparing for your challenge against us later?"
Li Shuwen smiled and said, "When I can break through in the gym rankings, I will ask Miss Cynthia for information about the Elite Four. I hope Miss Cynthia will be generous in sharing her knowledge."
Cynthia smiled and nodded. "Okay, I'll definitely tell you everything I know, but shouldn't you do something in return?"
Li Shuwen smiled and said, "After we give the red lotus fruit to Nianmei Lulong, let's go sightseeing in Shiyuan City. It's on me!"
Cynthia asked jokingly, "You're treating me to dinner, won't Cabbage be jealous?"
Cynthia smiled, and interacting with Li Shuwen as Cynthia felt completely different.
Many things that are inconvenient for cabbages to do, Cynthia can do with ease.
Li Shuwen: "..."
Li Shuwen suddenly remembered the first time he met Cynthia. Cynthia saw him having dinner with the girl with glasses, and Cynthia's attitude towards him was very bad.
"Did Bai Cai introduce me to you back then?"
"Huh?" Cynthia blinked in confusion, not understanding what Li Shuwen was so excited about.
Li Shuwen explained, "It was last time, when we met at Chef Cai Bo's restaurant, that you were so cold to me because of Bai Cai, when you saw me eating with other girls?"
Cynthia blinked. Is that so?
"I think so."
If Bai Cai had introduced him to her friends so early on, she would have done so much earlier.
It seems that the cabbage's feelings for him are the same as his feelings for the cabbage.
Looking at Li Shuwen, whose face was beaming with happiness, Cynthia asked directly, "Shuwen, let's go back to the same question: between me and Baicai, who's prettier?"
Li Shuwen smiled faintly, "The person I like is cabbage, and that will never change."
Cynthia smiled. "Then why haven't you confessed yet?"
