Page 24 The Final Test

Meilin, who was sleeping, was awakened by the continuous severe pain from the back of her head. Although she was lying on her side, the swelling of a big bag behind her head was not a joke. It was really painful. Meilin, who woke up, was gasping for a cold air while tentatively touching the swollen bag with her hands. As a result, there was a burning pain when it was not touched, and it hurt like a piercing pain. Even the gentle touch of her fingertips made Meilin grin and cry.

With tears in her eyes, Mei Lin vaguely saw the worried friends around her and the familiar furnishings of the small house. Then she realized that her party had escaped safely and returned to Mr. Zang's mansion.

As soon as I breathed a sigh of relief, a strong wind blew up from behind my head, and a clean fruit core rushed straight to the back of Meilin's head with murderous aura.

Subconsciously blocked the back of his hand. Although he stopped the fruit core and hit the swollen Lao Gao's big bag, it caused a second injury, but it was hit hard on the back of his hand. Meilin grinned again in pain and exhaled in pain.

"You dare to scream for me!" Mr. Zang's confident voice rang behind Meilin's head, "You clamored to die with the insects last night! Take it out for me! I really underestimated you. I didn't expect that you, a cunning little guy, could do such a stunned thing!" The old man blew his beard and stared at Meilin and scolded her.

Hu Di and Gotha Duck from Merlin were attentively bringing tea to the old man with white foam on the corners of his mouth, Xingfudan rubbed his shoulders and knocked his legs with the ever-changing monster who had changed into Na's shape, and Jiuwei took the Kati Dog and the little Fire Dragon to serve the fire in the distance. Everyone was busy.

While listening to the scolding, Meilin sat up and turned to the old man, and accepted the longing and nagging with his eyebrows down. He didn't feel that it was hard to accept, but on the contrary, he felt a little relieved.

Perhaps it was because Meilin's low posture was very good, but it was because Meilin dared not speak again and made Mr. Zang feel bored. After criticizing Meilin for about an hour, after drinking two large pots of tea, the old man curled his lips, grabbed the teapot and sucked the last moisture in it in one breath and stopped talking.

"Well, I'm too lazy to scold you again." Mr. Zang casually threw the quaint teapot of purple clay to Hu Di who was serving carefully, and said, "Matcha is too bitter and too much slag, but this kind of tea is more for my appetite." He turned his gaze to Meilin again, "I want to ask you what you are wrong with the stubbornness and turned the survival training into a wheel-like battle early on? Did you take the wrong medicine or what happened? I ran to my house and so I just thought you had made some major breakthroughs, so I hurriedly improved the difficulty of the training for you, but the result was still so bearish!"

Meilin hesitated for a while, and finally decided to go deep into the big crack and enter the underground molten hole and then encounter the terrifying middle-aged man and the more terrifying Geng Gui's story and tell the old man all about it.

After listening to Meilin's story, the old man picked up a red apple and threw it at Meilin, hitting him hard on the forehead. Meilin, who was attacked, rubbed his forehead and did not dare to make a sound.

"Idiot! Hopeless idiot!" The old man was still not satisfied, and scolded Meilin again, which made Meilin unable to lift his head. Then he glanced at the mantis brothers who were a little far away and pointed their firepower at them. "I had expected that you two would take him into the big rift, but didn't I tell you to take him there later? Don't you know that this little ghost is afraid of death, and a little accident can make him run away with his tail in a panic?!" The mantis brothers silently lowered his head and humbly accepted the old man's scolding, "I still have to take him to take risks, you just want it..."

"As for you!" After scolding the mantis brother, the old gentleman, began to scold Meilin again, "I will go down to the hot springs to find something every six months or so. There has been no accidents for so many years. Why do you just run into a villain when you go there? It just happened to hit one and can't beat the special level!? Why are your luck so bad!"

Merlin actually wants to ask the same question too.

"Then you said you are stupid, you don't admit it. Do you think you are a valuable thing? Whoever wants to kill you when you see you? You still run away? I'll go! As long as you enter the forest area, I don't believe that anyone who is blind will dare to chase you! He dares to step in, and I will let him land without a second foot!" The old man said viciously, "But I don't have any impression of the guy you are talking about. He should not be a well-known trainer, and probably not a clean person." The old man stroked his beard, "But now you can ignore him at all, let him go." He shook his hand indifferently.

Meilin hurriedly began to flatter him carefully, and he was half sincere and half against his will. Although it was exchanged for the old man's few scoldings, it was obvious that Mr. Zang's mood was much better.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Meilin immediately changed the topic, "Sir, Lingzi 'seized' a lot of spoils in the melting cave. Can you see if there is any use..."

"Barring." Mr. Zang interrupted Meilin's nagging without hesitation, "Why do I want your little thing? If I need it, I will take it myself, and I don't have to take you as a junior." The old man looked like a senior expert, "Tell me, have you encountered something I don't know? If you want to instruct the old man, I will just say, don't do these stupid things all day long."

Meilin accompanied her smiling face and signaled Lingzi to put all the seizeds in front of Mr. Zang.

The old man picked up an apple and chewed it. He casually glanced at the piles of various props and minerals. "I can't tell you can plunder it." The old man said a little vaguely as he ate the apple. "There are probably a lot of large communities to collect it, right? They don't like to collect these things, they usually get them to coax children..."

When Mei Lin heard this, she immediately looked at Lingzi, but Lingzi glared back with a proud look.

"You won't know all these props, right?" The old man continued to chew on the apple.

Meilin hurriedly pointed out the four props he could not recognize one by one and asked Jiu Tai to take out, and then took out the additional metal coating.

"Well..." The old man stroked his beard, "This small square box is a 'magma driver'. The fire flame lace can obtain the power of the magma, and it can also increase the temperature of the fire flame trick." Mr. Zang said slowly, "But its most important purpose is not to enhance the fire flame lace, but to allow the duck-billed fire dragon to evolve."

Meilin hurriedly memorized this knowledge silently, and at the same time, there was a hint of doubt in his heart, "Can the duck-billed fire dragon evolve again?" The question in his heart accidentally said it casually.

"Well, it can evolve. This is an evolutionary spectrum that has only been tangible in other regions in recent years." Mr. Zang nodded but was obviously unwilling to talk in depth. "Hey, that's the metal coating, you won't be unable to recognize it, right?" He pointed to the bundle of metal film placed a little further away and changed the topic.

"Of course I recognize it." Meilin hurriedly said, "I just don't know how to carry the flying mantis."

"Oh, that's a small thing, I'll teach you later." Mr. Zang, who had successfully changed the topic, began to identify the remaining three props again. "That stone is that almost transparent stone..." He pointed to the rough stone of some kind of mineral. "We call it the 'Crimson Mirror' a very fun stone. Its biggest use is to look at things through it. You can try it first."

Meilin quickly picked up the heavy mineral stone with both hands and held it in front of him. The scenery seen through the nearly transparent stone surprised him. Through the red transparent material, Meilin's sight turned into clusters of fire flames of different shapes! He turned in amazement and looked at different places, and soon understood how the vision reflected by the stone works. It could actually turn the living creatures in the scenes it processed into flames of different shades, colors and concentrations according to the different levels of strength.

For example, Mr. Zang is a human-shaped white flame, while Lingzi and Vyzel are light blue terrain-shaped flames and nine-tailed flames, Nightingale and Lavi are faint red flames, while Legion and the little fire dragon are one is deep red and the other is orange-red.

Seeing Meilin holding the raw stone to look around, Mr. Zang continued: "This mineral can turn the 'real field of view' into 'flame vision', and use flames of different temperatures and purity to roughly indicate the comprehensive value of the living body's energy and power. Therefore, for a long time, it has been used as a reference for judging the level. But it has no effect now." The old man stroked his eyebrows, "When you go out, find a better gemstone to help you grind the raw stone into several pairs of lenses and make glasses for the Pokémon of the Fire-type. This thing can give them flaming vision, and at the same time you can see through the illusion..."

Meilin, who had enough fun, quickly put down the raw stones and remembered the task of finding a gemmaster to polish the lenses.

"But I guess your stone can only be made of two or three pairs of lenses. It's better to have less." The old man rolled his fingers at the end of his eyebrows, "Take me the ring and the metal piece, and I'll take a closer look." He ordered at the Jiu Tai who was lying beside the pile of props.

Jiuwei immediately wrapped these two things with superpowers and handed them to the old man. He took them in his hand and weighed them first. The old man squinted his eyes and looked at them for a while, "This thing... he pinched the ancient ring with his index finger and thumb. "It should be a kind of prop cast by ancient humans. It was very rusted on it, but it seemed to be a pattern of a bat... call your fork bat over." He ordered again.

Merlin hurriedly called Dracula.

"Come here." Mr. Zang waved at it, and the Fork Bat flew to the old man in doubt. Suddenly, the old man stretched out his arm and grabbed the Fork Bat's body, pulled it closer, and then he forced the ring to the right foot of the Fork Bat who was struggling, and looked at it for a while before letting it fly.

Dracula, who was attacked, immediately flew to Merlin with grievance and complained to Merlin.

"Let it feel if there is anything different." The old man said calmly. He had no intention of admitting his mistake at all.

The fork bat hesitated and flew for a while, felt it for a while, and then sent feedback to Merlin.

"Dracula said it felt like it was flying lighter, and the ultrasound could penetrate deeper..." Merlin said all the translated Dracula's words.

"Well," Mr. Zang grabbed his beard, "It's indeed a 'bat ring'." He nodded, "This thing was specially cast for bats by ancient people. The inferior ones are probably to enhance perception and increase small amplitude gains such as ultrasonic frequency. You seem to be a high-end product and should have other functions, but this requires you and your fork bat to explore slowly."

Merlin's eyes lit up suddenly.

"And this..." Mr. Zang threw away the pentagonal metal badge in his hand, "This thing has been too old and has been worn too much, so I can't see too much, so I come..." He turned around and pressed the badge on Gotha duck's chest.

Gotha Duck who was raided was shocked.

"Do you feel anything?" the old man asked at it seriously.

Dake lowered his head and looked at the badge that was absorbed in front of his chest. After sensing it for a while, [it seemed to be that he had obtained some defense gain, which should be in terms of special defense...]

Merlin also said Dark's original words.

"Special defense..." The old man stroked his beard again, "When talking about the differences between badges in ancient and modern times, you should know more than me. Tell me, what are the badges you used for when you look at them?"

Merlin blurted out, "If it is a badge related to Warcraft, then in ancient times - at least in known and well-known ancient times - the badge was widely used as a gain carrier for some kind of power. Different badges represent different gains, different attributes, different ability values, more or less gain effects, and so on. And the current gym badge can be said to be a deleted version of the ancient badges of the old era, without it..."

"Well, enough." The old man interrupted Merlin's speech, "In other words, this old badge is a carrier of special defense enhancement, which allows the wearer to obtain a small gain of special defense. However, due to the long-term age and the damage, the gain effect is already very small, but it can still be used." The old man continued, "...so, the easiest way to quickly identify props when you encounter unrecognizable items is to let Pokémon touch them in person, and wearing them or carrying them for a period of time can intuitively reflect the basic functions of these items..." Mr. Zang started a temporary lecture again.

Merlin seized the opportunity to expand his knowledge and accumulate knowledge.

After talking about various knowledge about props, Mr. Zang talked about the question of how various props should be carried by Pokémon. "...For things like this badge or beads, one way is to hang it on your body, and of course you can directly hold it or stick it outside your body with your own strength. Some props require special carrying methods and also require the help of trainers, especially this thing." Mr. Zang pointed to the bundle of metal films that had been neglected for a long time. "It's more difficult to carry, but to put it bluntly, it's easy to carry. Just open it and wrap it on the Pokémon's limbs... Come here." He called Priors, the younger brother of the Mantis brother who longed for evolution.

"I'll guide you next to you, and you'll understand after experimenting with me." He ordered Merlin, "Open the bundle of film..."

Meilin immediately did as he did, squatting on the ground, first wrapped a protective layer on his hands with superpowers, and then plucked up a lot of strength to open the bundle of metal sheets. However, he found that the metal sheets were much lighter than expected, so it stretched out very smoothly. He pressed one end with superpowers, and then dragged the remaining metal coating until it completely expanded into a rectangular metal film about four or five meters long.

"Well, cut it open next." Mr. Zang continued to instruct, "If it is a big rock snake that needs to carry a metal coating, it will be much simpler. Just wrap the body directly. But the flying mantis is different, and other steel systems are different. Some of them need to be cut into suitable small pieces according to the different body structures and then wrapped on the specific limbs."

Preles immediately waved his sickle and couldn't wait to get started.

"Well, cut more here, wait for a while to wrap it on the sickle. Since this is the attack site after evolution, it requires extra hardness... Yes... the rest should be cut to save a little, just basically wrap the chest, abdomen, and legs. Don't waste it too much, just have some meaning. You don't have too much metal coating. If there are too many, you can wrap it a few more layers... Well, leave some scraps to wrap the joints..."

Mr. Zang skillfully directed Priles and Merlin to perform the cutting work. In a short while, the entire metal coating turned into pieces of large and small on the ground.

"Pack it." Mr. Zang ordered as he was domineeringly, "Be careful not to hurt its body... Well, carefully fold it out of the depression..."

Merlin had to use metal films to wrap all parts of Priors' body one by one, and soon it turned into a silver flying mantis.

"Try to move." Mr. Zang ordered.

Preles walked tentatively for a few steps, waved his sickle a few more times. Although his movements were a bit stiff, he still had the minimum ability to move.

"Well, that's all. Let it adapt to the existence of these metals in the past few days, and then conduct electronic transmission and evolution after it has some understanding and experience of these steels. "Mr. Zang said, "It's the same thing I said before. Evolution is very particular. As a trainer, you must think of everything you can think of, and you must think of what you can think of. And you can't hurry to achieve it. Of course, don't delay..."

Merlin was taught.

After finishing the metal coating assembly work of Priles, Mr. Zang talked for a while and then got up and left Meilin's hut. When Meilin's team followed him respectfully and sent him out of the moon gate, he suddenly stopped and turned back to Meilin and said, "Since you have finished your survival training in the wild - although your grades are not very good, they are OK, which is quite beyond my expectations - then your practice here is over. You should take a break these days, and I will arrange the 'final test' for you after a while."

As he spoke, he floated away, leaving only Meilin and his group thinking about what the "final test" was.
