Chapter 238 The Assessment of the Fighting-Style Dojo
Looking down on the entire city from the air, it looks like a whole continent.
Of course, these newly emerged lands are still dark brown to this day, with many still showing traces of firelight...
It seems that the mirage has expanded considerably due to this natural disaster.
These lands will soon be developed and utilized.
China's title of "infrastructure maniac" is well-deserved!
Follow the navigation to the location.
Ye Kai flew directly to the airspace above the dojo.
The fighting-themed dojo is located in the core area of Haishi Boxing City.
The entire dojo is like a huge mountain and water manor.
Some of the surrounding defensive fortifications still remain, and they have not been completely dismantled.
It is said that during the most severe period of the previous 7 days, temperatures here reached nearly 60 degrees Celsius!
Countless people died under this scorching heat.
Ye Kai landed and glanced at the dojo's notice.
really.
The dojo's opening hours have now changed from five days on, two days off to only two days a week.
The rest of the time, the gym leader has to participate in the alliance's construction tasks.
As for the challengers' assessment, it has now changed to participating in the construction of alliance facilities...
He entered the dojo and registered with the staff.
Then, turning around, they arrived at a nearby supplies storage point.
"Move these supplies to the designated location and you'll get 2 assessment points. If the supplies are damaged, you'll have to pay for them at cost. Understand?"
Professional trainers are able to command powerful Pokémon in battle and possess strength beyond that of ordinary people.
Therefore, it is a class controlled and won over through alliances.
You can earn points by completing tasks, and then use those points to redeem benefits.
This doesn't seem to be a problem.
But once you get caught up in this cycle...
They're nothing more than "high-level wage earners".
Most jobs are just a bit tiring.
Professional trainers often have to risk their lives to enter the most dangerous areas!
Therefore, Ye Kai's conclusion is...
Do as few tasks as possible, or even avoid doing them altogether!
Forced tasks are unavoidable.
If doing tasks delays your training and gym challenge progress.
That's putting the cart before the horse!
As a result, they are stuck at level 2, or even level 1, professional trainers for life!
It's a huge loss!
To qualify for the dojo exam, you need to score 10 points.
In other words, this kind of material transportation needs to be done about 5 times.
These supplies are mostly medicines.
To put it simply, it's something like bottled water.
Don't underestimate this stuff; it's no ordinary drink.
Ye Kai himself had drunk this stuff at the Mangshan Fortress.
The liquid used for soaking is of the same origin and can quickly soothe the imbalance of the body's elemental forces.
These supplies could be considered life-saving.
Buildings can be rebuilt after they collapse, but people cannot be brought back to life after they die.
In recent years, the overall environment has been characterized by a declining birth rate, and the situation is quite severe.
Elves are powerful and intelligent...
They participate in every corner of social labor, covering almost every aspect of human society.
So, just three months after Dr. Hawkins created the first Poké Ball.
The first Elf War broke out quickly!
The war ended with the establishment of the Alliance, and humanity ushered in an unprecedented period of prosperity.
People from some of the more developed regions of the 12-nation alliance at that time.
The life they lived could be described as extravagant and decadent, a veritable feast of wine and meat.
The company recruits new employees by "grabbing" them; they directly poach people from the Elf Academy's entrance ceremony.
Even if you don't get the job, you'll receive a generous gift just for going for an interview!
The young people who joined the company were full of hope for the future.
They believe that work is something you can do for a lifetime.
Back then, the commercial district was brightly lit 24 hours a day, and everyone used luxury goods.
When eating out, they only look at the menu, not the prices.
Back then, everyone would rush to pay the bill.
As for taking a taxi, everyone was waving around thousand-dollar Union bills!
Even so, it's still often difficult to get a taxi.
Even people who stay at home only need to buy a small amount of shares to watch the numbers in their account keep rising and rising!
Leveraging 1000 times to wipe out your money was the basic strategy back then...
However, the "super productivity" brought by the elves could not ultimately overcome human greed.
But this prosperity lasted for less than 20 years before it could not continue.
Then came the lost 50 years...
In short, the alliance is quite concerned about casualties.
"Hmph! Are they treating us like deliverymen?"
Ye Kai placed three large buckets of water, each 18.9 liters long, at the door of a house.
Every now and then, you could hear other trainers delivering water complaining.
Without saying a word, he carried the two buckets of water to the next household.
He would manage the streets on the left, while handing over the right side to Wanli.
As for Pokémon like Toxicroak, Meganeura, and Nidoking...
Ye Kai was afraid that they would be short-tempered and not only unable to help, but might also damage the supplies.
Instead of complaining, it's better to get it done quickly.
If he wasn't mistaken, this was basically a water-moving task that would take a whole day.
This tedious process could very well last for 5 days...
Fortunately, this weight is nothing to Ye Kai now.
Compared to the weight, it's mostly just boring and tedious.
We returned to the location where the mission was assigned around noon.
"What the hell?! We're professional trainers, not water carriers! I'm going to file a complaint against you!"
"Exactly! Get the owner out here! It's only open two days a week? When will we ever get there? Are we just putting on a show?"
A group of people surrounded the staff of the dojo, demanding an explanation.
"Gentlemen, if you wish to be exempted from the task of transporting and distributing supplies, that is also possible."
"I have another challenge here. If you pass the test, I, as the acting gym leader, will now accept the challenge."
These words, though spoken softly, resonated in everyone's minds.
This is not a language spoken by the mouth.
It's a waveguide!
Ye Kai was merely an observer when he sensed a strange power sweeping over everyone around him.
He looked again into the distance.
A woman dressed in martial arts attire stood with her hands behind her back, exuding an otherworldly aura, and wore a high ponytail.
"What kind of assessment?"
“It’s very simple, just pass Lucario’s review.”
"Lucario can understand human thoughts, so it will only befriend trainers with upright hearts."
The results of the image scan were broadcast, giving everyone a general idea of the assessment content.
Ye Kai was speechless.
This is indeed very difficult.
Lucario's waveguide perception has reached a point where he can't help but listen to his own thoughts!
Therefore, the presence of those with evil and filthy hearts will only increase its psychological pressure.
As the saying goes, no one is perfect.
Who dares to say they are completely "pure"?
Ye Kai was thinking about it.
However, quite a few people shamelessly went up to let Lucario test them.
"Well!!"
Lucario closed its eyes and brought the paw pads close to the person's forehead.
In just a short while...
Lucario bared his teeth and kicked the man away.
The force was just right, and it didn't hurt the trainer.
"It seems Lucario doesn't like you. You've slaughtered weaker Pokémon before, haven't you?"
"How could it possibly know even this..."
The trainer looked on incredulously.
He then looked at Lucario and the woman with a sinister gaze.
"If you don't want others to know, then don't do it in the first place; Heaven is watching what people do!"
"Fighting-type is a class that upholds justice. A lowlife like you doesn't deserve to challenge a Fighting-type gym. Get lost!"
really.
Ye Kai watched coldly from the sidelines.
He probably wouldn't pass that test.
Lucario is handsome.
But these spirits are very good at choosing their masters, so despicable people shouldn't even think about getting one!
He believed that what he was doing was in line with his own values.
But to say that it was all true, Ye Kai could only laugh it off.
The world is not a black-and-white diode.
"With rules like these, how many people could pass the test?! You're just nitpicking!"
"Oh? Then how about I lower my requirements and give you a second option?"
The woman closed her eyes, then slowly opened them.
"In this way, one Pokémon is released, and the two Pokémon cannot use moves to attack. Instead, they simply slap each other, and can only attack the head."
"Once one side has finished its attack, it's the other side's turn."
"Whoever can't take it first loses. As long as you pass this 'slap test,' you can immediately fight me."
Good guy.
Ye Kai couldn't help but take a closer look at the woman.
He had seen clips of slapping contests online in his previous life.
Only someone with absolute confidence in their own abilities would dare to say such a thing.
"Alright, I'll give it a try!"
"Come out, Incineroar!"
A middle-aged man stepped out from the crowd.
"Fiery Monkey only throws punches, so it counts as a slap, right? Don't say I'm bullying you."
As he spoke, he gave a malicious smile.
"No problem, I can loosen the rules. The elf can use its tail, its feet, or its wings!"
"Come out, Iron Palm Warrior!"
"As you can see, Iron Palm Warrior's palm is a bit big, you don't mind, do you?"
"..."
Ye Kai glanced at the Iron Palm Warrior, the acting master of the martial arts school.
Good heavens, neither of his hands is the same size; one of his hands is several times bigger than his head!
If you were to slap someone like that, their head would spin around in circles.
It seems this Fighting-type gym is not to be trifled with...
He stopped thinking about it and decided to obediently go and work for the full five days.
"Ugh!!"
Intense Monkey threw the first punch, swinging its arm in a wide arc and unleashing a powerful blow!
"Crack!"
The terrifying force slammed into the Iron Palm Warrior's head, causing it to stagger back a step.
"It's starting! What powerful force!"
"Hehe, I reckon that Fiery Monkey is going to lose..."
The onlookers were buzzing with discussion.
It was Iron Palm Warrior's turn to make his move.
Its cheeks were slightly swollen, but its gaze was incredibly resolute.
The fiery monkey in front of us has its face and body fused together, so let's just consider it its head.
"Bang! Thud!!"
A terrifyingly powerful explosion resounded.
The fiery monkey was slapped and sent flying dozens of meters away.
This is purely physical strength, without using any techniques!
Some people rushed to check on the condition of the fiery monkey.
It is on the verge of death.
You should know that Infernape is not a Pokémon to mess with.
This kind of spirit is extremely vengeful; once you offend it, it will hunt you down to your death!
Whether it lives or dies is irrelevant, but revenge is a must!
Intense Monkey is such a creature.
too frightening.
Yet this very spirit was brought to the brink of death by the Iron Palm Warrior!
