Chapter 641 Guessing Wen Qi’s Identity
Chapter 641 Guessing Wen Qi’s Identity
Wen Qi was walking around the Western Market when his eyes were attracted by a ghost breeding house.
Ghost-type breeding houses have always been rare. After all, ghost-type elves have special habits and are difficult to manage.
They are elusive and cannot be contained by ordinary fences. It takes a lot of money to customize special protective covers, which is very costly.
It is for this reason that the owner of a breeding house that runs ghost-type Pokémons must be someone with a complicated identity and background.
Wen Qi walked into the breeding house. The light in the house was dim and there was a mysterious atmosphere.
In the corner, an old man in a black robe was concentrating on wiping the Poké Ball in his hand. Every wipe was done with piety, as if it was not an ordinary Poké Ball, but one that carried his lifelong obsession.
Beside him, several floating Haunters poked their heads out curiously, occasionally sticking out their long tongues and then quickly retracting them.
In the middle of the room, a young trainer was talking to the owner.
The trainer's eyes were filled with anxiety, and in his hands he tightly grasped a list that listed the ghost-type Pokémon he longed to obtain.
The shop owner was a burly man with a full beard. He was listening to the trainer's request, nodding constantly and occasionally giving suggestions.
Wen Qi's eyes wandered around the house and were soon attracted by a row of glass display cases.
In the display case, several Garlic-like Gastlys were floating quietly, their eyes flashing with faint light, and from time to time they spit out clouds of purple mist, which changed into strange shapes under the light.
Not far away, a light-footed Mimikyu was hiding behind a tattered rag, with only a pair of lively eyes showing, secretly observing the movements outside.
A wandering night spirit slowly swayed over, its body emitting a faint blue light, and the air around it seemed to tremble with every step it took.
Wen Qi stretched out his hand and tried to get closer, but the wandering Night Spirit seemed to sense the danger and instantly retreated and disappeared into the darkness.
Wen Qi took a deep breath and suppressed his inner excitement.
Wen Qi thought the house would be crowded and bustling, but the scene before him surprised him.
The room was deserted with few customers, so quiet that one could hear one's own footsteps.
He couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong with this store?
Wen Qi quickly opened the system and carefully checked the qualifications of those ghost-type elves.
After some investigation, he found that the qualifications of these Pokémons were quite good, ranging from yellow to green, and there was even a Gastly that had reached the dark green qualification.
He became more and more puzzled. Logically speaking, with such qualifications, business should not be so quiet.
In fact, this is because Wenqi doesn’t understand the market very well.
Ghost-type trainers are rare, and most people are afraid of the characteristics of ghost-type Pokémon and dare not train them easily, so there are usually not many guests in this type of breeding house.
But there were too few customers today, and Wen Qi couldn't help but wonder if he had arrived too early.
With doubts, Wen Qi walked to the counter. The boss was sitting and talking with the trainer. Wen Qi waited for them to finish their conversation.
Wen Qi spoke politely:
"Boss, do you have the sword sheath and candlelight spirit?"
He leaned forward slightly, his eyes full of anticipation.
The boss raised his head, looked Wen Qi up and down, put down the paper in his hand, stood up and said:
“Yes, there are, but the qualification is only yellow.
Green-qualified elves are too rare, and these two types of elves are very popular, so they are usually bought out as soon as they arrive.
I currently only have one yellow-quality one left that I haven’t sold yet.”
The boss spoke slowly, with a somewhat helpless tone.
"What about the price?"
Wen Qi asked, frowning slightly.
"The sword sheath alone costs eight hundred thousand, and the candlelight spirit costs seven hundred thousand."
The boss pointed out the price with his finger.
When Wen Qi heard this, he took a breath of cold air. This price was not cheap.
You know, the price of the three Pokémon in the general alliance is only four or five hundred thousand, and the price of these two Pokémon is almost twice that of the three Pokémon.
He touched his chin subconsciously and thought for a moment.
Although the price is expensive, Wenqi feels that this is not a big problem. After all, Wenqi is not short of money.
If his qualifications are not good enough, he has ways to improve them.
Thinking of this, Wen Qi raised his head with a firm look in his eyes:
"Okay, boss, I want it."
A hint of surprise flashed across the boss's face. He didn't expect to make the deal so quickly.
"Okay, I'll pack it for you right away."
The boss turned around quickly, took out two special Poké Balls from the cabinet behind him, put the Single Sword Sheath and Candlelight Spirit into them respectively, and handed them to Wen Qi.
Wen Qi took the Poké Ball, checked it, and found nothing wrong with it, so he carefully put it into his backpack, as if he was putting in a priceless treasure.
After paying the money, he thanked the boss and turned to leave the breeding house.
Wen Qi casually strolled around the Western Market for a few more rounds. Looking around, he felt that the stalls and goods around him were boring and he really couldn't get interested.
He thought to himself that the harvest this time was rich enough and it was time to go to the headquarters.
Thinking of this, he quickly walked to where his mounts were stored, untied the reins of the armored rhinoceros, jumped on it, and galloped towards Yanhuang Mountain.
Soon, Yanhuang Mountain appeared before our eyes.
Wen Qi looked up at the misty mountain. The headquarters building was looming in the mist, exuding a mysterious and majestic atmosphere.
He knew in his heart that this was not a place where he could act recklessly and that he had to act with caution.
Fortunately, before leaving, Dr. Chu Feng gave him a key contact information - the phone number of Vice Chairman Sun Dalong, who was in charge of logistics. He also specifically told him to contact Sun Dalong after arriving at Yanhuang Mountain and follow his arrangements.
Wen Qi knew his own weight very well. As a third-level gym leader, he was just a drop in the ocean in this headquarters and had no real weight.
If you follow the normal process and report it bit by bit from the grassroots level, not to mention how much time it will take, the more people involved, the easier it is for your information to leak.
Trouble might come knocking at any time, and that's not what he wants to see.
Although calling Vice Chairman Sun directly seemed a bit presumptuous, in his opinion, this was the best solution at the moment.
Wen Qi took a deep breath, calmed his slightly nervous mood, took out the communicator from his pocket, and dialed Sun Dalong's number.
"Beep beep..."
The call was connected, and a steady and slightly majestic voice came from the other end:
"Hello, who is it?"
When Wen Qi heard the voice, he raised his voice unconsciously and said respectfully:
"Hello, Vice Chairman Sun. I am Wen Qi. Dr. Chu Feng should have mentioned me to you before. I am now at the foot of Yanhuang Mountain."
As he spoke, his eyes revealed a hint of nervousness, and his fingers tapped unconsciously on the communicator.
When Sun Dalong heard Wen Qi's name, he was slightly startled while leaning casually on the back of the chair. Dr. Chu Feng's instructions and the information about Wen Qi that he had carefully reviewed in the past few days instantly emerged in his mind.
He sat up straight, cleared his throat, and asked:
"Oh, you are Wen Qi. Dr. Chu Feng did tell me that you came here to get the reward he gave you?"
Wen Qi nodded immediately after hearing this. Although the other party couldn't see it, his movements were still very precise. He responded eagerly:
"Yes, Vice Chairman Sun, Dr. Chu Feng said before that he would give me two rewards, one is a blue-qualified elf, and the other is the opportunity to choose an S-level treasure house. What do you think..."
His voice rose slightly, with a hint of inquiry and a tone full of expectation.
Sun Dalong couldn't help but frown and stroke his chin gently. Although Dr. Chu Feng had mentioned before that these rewards might be given away, he always thought it was just a joke.
After all, whether it is a blue-qualified Pokémon or the opportunity to choose an S-level treasure, they are extremely precious and are difficult for many champion-level trainers to achieve.
Especially the S-level treasure house, which only master-level trainers are qualified to enter.
I didn’t expect that Dr. Chu Feng would actually give these to a young man like Wen Qi.
He has studied Wen Qi's information carefully in the past few days. He is less than 20 years old, but he is already a high-level cultivator and a third-level gym master. He is indeed a rare genius.
But even so, it was still difficult for him to understand why Dr. Chu Feng invested so much money.
But since Dr. Chu Feng had greeted him in advance, he also wanted to make friends with Dr. Chu Feng, so he said:
"Okay, I understand. Please wait at the foot of the mountain. I will arrange for someone to pick you up and make proper arrangements for you."
After hearing this, Wen Qi's eyes flashed with joy, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, and he quickly said:
"Thank you so much, Vice Chairman Sun. I'm sorry to trouble you."
After hanging up the phone, Wen Qi breathed a sigh of relief. Then, he found a clean place to sit down and waited patiently for the person to pick him up.
After Sun Dalong hung up the phone, he did not put down the communicator in his hand immediately. Instead, he maintained the posture when the call ended and fell into deep thought.
His eyes were fixed on the unsigned document on the desk, but his eyes were empty and distracted, and it was obvious that his mind had already drifted away.
The office was so quiet that the only sound could be heard was the ticking of the wall clock. The second hand ticked away, as if tapping on Sun Dalong's thoughts.
After an unknown amount of time, Sun Dalong slowly came back to his senses. He sighed softly, reached out and pressed the call button on the desk, his voice low but with a certain degree of unquestionable:
"Xiao Li, come here."
After a while, the office door was gently pushed open and Secretary Xiao Li walked in quickly.
He was wearing a neat suit, his hair was combed meticulously, and he had a professional smile on his face. He stood in front of the desk, bowed slightly, and asked respectfully:
"Vice Chairman Sun, you're looking for me?"
Sun Dalong raised his head, glanced at Xiao Li, nodded and said:
"Well, a young man named Wen Qi has just arrived at the foot of Yanhuang Mountain. Go and pick him up.
He was introduced by Dr. Chu Feng, who gave him some rewards. We’ll talk about the details after he arrives.”
As he spoke, he picked up a document from the table and flipped through it seemingly casually, but in fact he was hiding his inner doubts and uneasiness.
After hearing this, Xiao Li's heart skipped a beat and he couldn't help but think to himself:
Things like picking up people are usually assigned to ordinary staff members. Why is it my turn this time?
And he picked up a young man. Who is this young man?
But his many years of secretarial experience made him quickly put away his doubts. He still had a smile on his face and nodded in response:
"Okay, Vice Chairman Sun, I'll go right away."
After saying that, he turned around and left the office with brisk but steady steps.
Sun Dalong watched Xiao Li's departing back. The office door slowly closed. He leaned back in his chair, crossed his hands over his chest, and tapped his arms rhythmically with his fingers.
Dr. Chu Feng's action was like a fog that made him unable to understand.
Those rewards are so precious that even some fathers may not be willing to give them to their sons.
Although Wenqi has great potential, its future is full of uncertainties. What are the considerations behind investing such a huge amount of money now?
"Is he Dr. Chu Feng's illegitimate son?"
This thought suddenly flashed through Sun Dalong's mind, but he quickly denied it.
He clearly remembered that he had read Wen Qi's information, which clearly recorded the information of Wen Qi's biological parents. There was no doubt about that.
"Is that a master-disciple relationship?"
He began to ponder again. But when he thought of Dr. Chu Feng's attitude towards Wen Qi, he shook his head again.
The attitude of Dr. Chu Feng when he talked to him about Wen Qi was not at all condescending, like an elder to a younger person. Instead, it was like an equal communication between peers.
Thinking of this, Sun Dalong sat up straight suddenly, and was shocked:
Dr. Chu Feng is now the vice president of the alliance. Even his previous status was not low. Can an ordinary person get along with him on an equal footing?
The more Sun Dalong thought about it, the more he felt that Wen Qi was not a simple person. This person must be hiding some unknown secret.
He picked up the communicator and dialed Xiao Li's number. At this time, Xiao Li had already walked halfway up the mountain. The communicator suddenly rang, and he hurriedly stopped and answered the phone:
"Hello, Vice Chairman Sun, what can I do for you?"
Sun Dalong spoke very quickly, with a bit of urgency in his tone:
"Xiao Li, when you meet Wen Qi, be polite to him and be considerate. Remember, don't make any mistakes."
When Xiao Li heard this, he staggered and almost fell.
He was very puzzled. Why did he emphasize being polite and considerate when he was just picking someone up? But he still answered immediately:
"Okay, Vice Chairman Sun, I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Li quickened his pace, and was extremely curious about Wen Qi's identity. As he walked, he thought to himself:
"Who is this Wen Qi to make Vice Chairman Sun pay so much attention to him? Is he the illegitimate son or relative of some important figure?"
As for Sun Dalong, after putting down the communicator, he leaned back in his chair, stared at the ceiling, and muttered to himself:
"This Wen Qi may really bring unexpected gains, so it seems that we must treat it well."
Wen Qi stood at the foot of Yanhuang Mountain, looking at the surrounding scenery boredly. He had no idea that his arrival would cause Vice Chairman Sun Dalong and Secretary Xiao Li to rack their brains to guess his identity.
At this moment, Sun Dalong was pacing in the office in deep thought, while Xiao Li quickened his pace to walk down the mountain, wondering in his heart who Wen Qi was.
If Wen Qi knew that they thought he was an illegitimate child, he would definitely be in tears and laughter.
Imagine that after Wen Qi learned of the guess, he would definitely spread his hands helplessly, curl his lips and say:
"You have good taste. I am indeed not a simple person, but why do you all think of me as a illegitimate child? Do I look that much like one?"
But Wen Qi was completely unaware of all this. He was still patiently waiting for the person to pick him up, occasionally teasing the armored rhinoceros beside him.
I never thought that I had become a mysterious figure in the eyes of others, which triggered an intense brainstorming session.
