Looking at the beautiful picture depicted on the letter sent by Ma Xiu, Xia Chen sighed slightly.

Who would have thought that the seed that was unintentionally planted at the beginning has now grown into a lush and towering tree.

Presumably, the group of people who really love gorgeous performances, led by Ma Xiu and Mikoli, must have spent a lot of time and effort, right?

Hoenn area... I just haven't traveled there yet, but by the way, I can go to the appointment of Ohgo a month ago.

Thinking so, Xia Chen immediately made a decision in his heart, the next stop, go to the Hoenn area!

As for the start of school on September 9, this is no longer a problem for Xia Chen.

If the previous Donghuang Youth Competition championship was only enough for Xia Chen to graduate without worry, the championship of the World Youth Championships this time can completely allow him to be directly promoted to honorary alumni before he graduates.

made a phone call to Lao Yu to explain the situation, and the principal personally approved Xia Chen's long vacation for the first half of the second semester of his sophomore year.

Xia Chen estimated that even if he didn't take the initiative to ask for leave, Lao Yu would take the initiative to approve the leave.

The current situation is that Xia Chen does not need the brand of Shanghai Beijing University to gild himself, but Shanghai Beijing University needs "Xia Chen is an excellent student of our school" to prove the gold content of his first university in Donghuang.

After dealing with these complicated trivial matters, Xia Chen immediately asked Yan Shu to help book a ticket to Kanaz City in the Hoenn region the next day-

Today is only August 20th, and there is still more than half a month before the opening of the gorgeous competition, so I am not in a hurry to go to Liuli City first.

As for why Hoenn's first stop is Kanaz City, it is naturally because it is the headquarters of Hoen's largest force, the Devon Group.

"Do the elves need to bring them all, though?"

Xia Chen thought about such a question in his heart.

With more and more sprites being subdued, this is a problem that most trainers will encounter.

The more elves you bring with you, the longer you will spend taking care of them, cooking and the like along the way.

Even Sirona only takes six elves with her when she goes out to deal with alliance affairs or explore ruins every day, and now counting Gu Leton, she has taken in a total of nine elves, so she can't take care of it.

…………

"So what do you think, do you want to travel to Hoenn and stay at home?"

The old rule, Xia Chen still listened to the elves' opinions first.

If no one says they don't want to go, it doesn't matter if they bring them all.

After a few seconds of silence, the Flame Blade Ghost raised his hand, "Kalu—(I'll stay at home, I need a long time to fix now...) Training, it would be a little more convenient in a fixed place. ）”

As far as he was concerned, the "medicine dust" consciousness had dissipated two-thirds of the way, and he needed to hurry up and leave more of this precious memory before it completely dissipated.

As for Xia Chen, there was a good reason, so he naturally nodded in agreement.

After thinking for a few seconds, Sticky Meier also chose to be a left-behind child.

"Sticky—(I think I need to settle down, so I'm not going to go this time.) ）”

Although this was the reason, from the way she glanced at the Cangyan Blade Ghost from time to time, there was more or less a sense of competing with him.

Xia Chen, who saw all this in his eyes, didn't care too much, the healthy competition between elves was a good thing, if she could learn the experience she lacked from the Cangyan Blade Ghost, it would be even better for Sticky Mei'er.

And except for Sticky Meier and Cangyan Blade Ghost, there are no more elves who want to stay at home after that.

However, there is still one last question to be solved before leaving, who should take care of the two elves who are left at home?

The most convenient is undoubtedly the little assistant Yan Shu, but Xia Chen can't rest assured.

It's not that Xia Chen has an opinion about her, it's mainly because... Unless it was handed over to Ming Yi or Sirona, he couldn't let go of the others.

In this regard, Sticky Meier swore solemnly: "Sticky-(Don't worry, I'll take care of the Cangyan Blade Ghost~)"

Xia Chen knocked her head angrily, "Just you?" It's good to take care of yourself! ”

After pondering for a long time, he turned his head to look at the Cangyan Blade Ghost, "Then during this time, Sticky Mei'er will ask you to take care of it, and I will teach you how to shop online in a while, and you can decide what to buy yourself." ”

Although theoretically speaking, Cangyan Blade Ghost is a junior, but he seems to be much more reliable than Sticky Mei'er, Xia Chen feels that he should be able to take care of himself and Sticky Mei'er after a long journey.

The Cangyan Blade Ghost nodded lightly and replied, "Kala-(Don't worry, it's no problem.) ）”

The Donghuang region has always been safe, and with the strength of the two of them, as long as it is not a legendary elf, it is at least no problem to protect themselves.

After teaching Cangyan Blade Ghost some convenient measures such as takeout and online shopping, Xia Chen left Zhijiang the next day and set off for Kanaz City.

…………

The Hoenn area and the Donghuang area face each other across the sea and are considered close neighbors.

Because of the geographical proximity, the climate is similar.

Even in ancient times, when Groudador and Gaioca were fighting, the Donghuang continent was divided into two, and there was the current Hoenn region.

The true of the legend is unknown, but the two regions are really close.

In less than two hours, the plane from Zhijiang crossed the ocean and landed at Dewen Airport in the city of Kanaz.

This is the strength of the Devon Group in the Hoenn region, even the airport is named after a private company instead of a place.

As soon as he got out of the airport, before he could call the phone number sent by Dawu, an extra-long limousine stopped in front of Xia Chen.

The car stopped, the door opened, and a middle-aged man in a suit with a gentle smile came down.

Immediately, two rows of black-clad bodyguards lined up, as if welcoming the guests.

Xia Chen was a little puzzled.

No, it's all in the elven world, are human bodyguards really useful?

It's better to have a row of Shanaiduo and a row of Eloredo, which has both cards and strength guarantees.

Xia Chen complained so much in his heart, the man in the suit in front of him had already bowed slightly, and invited: "Mr. Xia Chen, I am Kuroda, the general secretary of Dewen Group, and in the name of President Zvoci, I am responsible for taking you to Dewen Group. ”

President Zvoci?

Xia Chen raised his eyebrows in surprise, he thought that these people were sent by Dawu to pick him up, but he didn't expect it to be his father directly.

He has a little impression of Daigo's father, President Zvoch, and seems to be an avid stone lover, and Daigo's fondness for digging stones is indispensable to being influenced by his education when he was a child.

When he appeared in the anime, he was already an old man with gray hair, but Daigo in this world was only in his early twenties, and President Zvoch estimated that he was in the prime of life.

As for why he sent someone to pick him up and put on such a big show, Xia Chen was not surprised.

With his current influence, when he went to Silver's company, it is estimated that Captain Sakaki's secretary Matori came to greet him in person.

Retracting his thoughts, Xia Chen nodded to Kuroda and bent down to sit in the car.

…………

Devin Group's headquarters is located in the tallest building in the heart of Kanaz, the Devon Financial Centre.

As the world's most well-known cross-regional super-large enterprise other than Silver, Devon's business scope covers mining, real estate, finance, energy, medicine, elf props, etc., and is a veritable giant business empire.

Looking up at this towering skyscraper of more than 300 meters, Xia Chen was slightly amazed in his heart, this scale was so strong that he didn't know where to go.

However, he doesn't have any idea of "he can replace him", and there are many things he pursues in this world-

After meeting more elves, leave more of your own mark in this world, an ending that is not a firewood knife... Wait, this one seems a little crooked.

In short, in no way does it include making more money.

Well, this kind of Versailles-sounding remark seems to be just something to say after you have money...

"Mr. Xia Chen, please come here."

Following Kuroda through the luxurious lobby and taking the elevator all the way up, Xia Chen came to the office of President Debun on the top floor.

Like most bosses' offices, a large transparent glass curtain wall is embedded in one side, framing the bustling landscape of Kanaz. In the middle is a luxurious leather sofa – the finest Hakron skin.

The only difference, perhaps, is that there is no elegant book behind the desk, but a shelf filled with all kinds of colorful and strange-shaped stones.

A generation of business legends, the helmsman of Devin Group, Zvochi Hibiscus, is sitting in the boss's chair and working in the office.

More than a decade ago, it was he who inherited the Devon Group, which grew from a small company mining iron ore to extract steel into a supergroup that now rivals Silver.

Xia Chen snorted lightly, and suddenly envied Dawu, he is the kind of model who has become a super-rich second generation through his father's efforts...

Stunned for a moment, President Zvoch behind the desk had just finished signing a document and handed it to Miss Goethe on the side, and looked up and greeted: "Mr. Xia Chen, welcome to Dewen Group, please take a seat." ”

…………

President Zvoci is a handsome middle-aged man, and Daigo estimates that it is because of his excellent genes that he is so popular.

His hair color is light blue like Daigo's, but the baptism of time has made it look a little gray.

In general, this is a man who can be called "handsome uncle" rather than "master" by the little girls when he walks outside, and has an easy-going but dignified temperament.

Xia Chen was observing Zvoch, and Zvoch was also looking at Xia Chen.

Long-term meditation exercise has given Xia Chen a unique mysterious temperament, self-disciplined work and exercise has given him a young and outstanding physique, coupled with a handsome face that no Yan dog can fault with.

All kinds of synthesis, even Zvoci, who has read countless people, can't help but praise in his heart - "I have the style of Sancheng when I was young!" ”

"Mr. Xia Chen, a young talent, when I saw him today, he deserved his reputation!"

"Mr. Zvoci, your deeds are legendary, and I often wrote about you when I wrote essays in high school!"

"Hahaha, Xia Chen's little friend is really humorous, you have a relationship with Dawu, if you don't dislike it, we can call us uncle and nephew."

"It's an honor, Uncle Zvoch."

"Where, where, Xia Chenxian's nephew."

The adult world is so simple, in a few words, the two of them have an uncle and a nephew.

After the business exchange and greetings, the atmosphere gradually eased and harmonious.

Zfuchi laughed: "That guy has gone to the Carlos area to dig stones again, so I am the only one to entertain you, and don't dislike me as an old man." ”

Picking up the black tea handed over by Miss Goethe, Xia Chen replied, "How come, it's too late to learn from you." ”

After a change of words, Xia Chen changed the topic and asked, "Carlos area?" I've also traveled over there, the scenery is very good, is there any special stone? ”

The topic was deliberately shifted to the Carlos region, naturally to knock on the side of the super stone, and the Carlos region is the birthplace of superevolution.

…………

There is a theory in the past life that when the final weapon made by AZ was launched three thousand years ago, the life energy of Zernhas or Yin Peltar spread throughout the Kalos region, thus leading to the formation of the Super Stone.

However, there are also rumors that the super stone originated in the Hoenn region and was born from a meteorite from outer space, and the Ryoza who wanted to intercept the meteorite to protect the Hoenn region became the first elf to be able to super evolve because of the meteorite.

Xia Chen didn't know what the situation in this world was, anyway, he hadn't heard of a super evolution since ancient times.

It is not impossible for a third scenario to arise.

So he now wanted to get some news from perhaps the richest stone lover in the world, and see if he could get a clue.

Zvoch didn't have so many ideas, just thought that Xia Chen was chatting, and after thinking for two seconds, he replied: "Special stones, except for the precious pink diamonds in the legendary diamond kingdom, there are nothing, but our family has settled in Carlos for a period of time before, and Daigo has more feelings for that side." ”

Xia Chen was a little surprised, "Have you still settled in Carlos?" ”

Zvocchi nodded, and introduced with a little nostalgia: "That is also a turning point in the rise of our Dewen Group, my father devoted his life to civilizing the life energy that was scattered throughout Carlos when the final weapon was launched three thousand years ago, and he succeeded in the end. ”

"He has developed a method to convert life energy into a special energy that can be controlled and stored and has a very high energy density, which he named [Living Energy], or [∞ Energy], and it is precisely because of the research and development of this energy that our Dewen Group has flourished and come to this day."

Perhaps a little dry-mouthed, Zvoci took a sip of his tea and then laughed to himself, "Everyone calls me a business genius, but in fact I have only done something trivial on top of my father's great research." ”

Xia Chen nodded slightly, and Zvoch's words awakened his long memories of his previous life.

I remember playing the Ruby Sapphire remake a long time ago, and it seems that this energy is indeed mentioned in the plot.

The plot of that generation of games takes place in the Hoenn region, but with the appearance of MEGA evolution, Flyless and Fathead Fish also gained a handsome and powerful [Primal Return] form.

This is also a strong evidence of the rumor that MEGA evolved in the Hoenn region.

However, Devon Group is closely related to life energy, and life energy and super evolution are inextricably linked.

Rounding off, that is, Dewen Group and Super Evolution are closely related, and this relationship should be well maintained...

Xia Chen thought so.

…………

After chatting for a while, President Zvoci took Xia Chen to visit his proud collection of precious stones.

Although Xia Chen put on the coat of a stone lover in order to investigate the matter of the Super Evolution Stone, he still put some effort into understanding it, and the level was about the level of an amateur.

However, this circle is already niche, and it is usually difficult for Zvoch to meet like-minded people, but this time he caught one, and he had a good chat.

After chatting for hours, his "virtuous nephew" can be regarded as shouting very smoothly.

"Virtuous nephew, this is only a small part of my collection, there are all kinds of rare stones that Dawu and I have dug up over the years, I will take you around after dinner."

Zvoci warmly invited, looking unsatisfied.

Xia Chen subconsciously took half a step back, and said with a reluctant smile: "Uncle Zvoch, next time, I just got off the plane today, and I am a little tired." ”

After looking at the stone in the afternoon, although it has not reached the point where I want to vomit when I see the stone, it is estimated that it will be almost the same after looking at it for another night.

Zvoch is also an understanding person, how can he not understand the meaning of Xia Chen's words.

With a smile, he said: "It's me who is abrupt, if you don't dislike it, the virtuous nephew will stay in the hotel of our group these days, and I don't boast that this is the premier hotel in Kanaz City." ”

Xia Chen replied politely: "Thank you for the hospitality, it couldn't be better." ”

Zvoch smiled: "Little thing, then let's go eat first, we have three floors of food floors used as a staff restaurant, see if you can get into the eyes of your chef." ”

The secretary, Kuroda, appeared at the right time and led Zvoch and Xia Chen to the meal.

After that, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.

…………

At the beginning of the lanterns, the bustling night scene of Kanaz City appeared in front of Xia Chen's eyes.

After eating, Zvoci asked Kuroda to send him to the hotel, giving Xia Chen the treatment of being at home.

At this moment, he and the elves are enjoying the night view in front of the glass curtain wall of the luxurious elf suite of the Zvochi Hotel, relieving the fatigue of the first visit to the Hoenn area.

The city of Canaz is the largest city in the Hoenn region, and its status is similar to that of Miare City to the Carlos region.

In addition to the level of technology and the resident population, another important reason is the geographical location.

Bordered by Meteor Falls to the north and Orange Blossom Forest to the south, Kanaz is located between two of the most important elven habitats in the Hoenn region.

Speaking of Meteor Falls, it is also a place that is closely related to super evolution.

In the game, the people of Meteor who live there have been able to make a mega evolve since a thousand years ago with the legendary dragon god Ryoza signing a contract to prevent the fall of an extraterrestrial meteorite that could destroy the Hoenn region.

However, there is no mega evolution in this world yet, and I don't know if there was a meteorite falling thousands of years ago, and whether the Liekong sat and whether it evolved mega...

In any case, this is also an important place where there may be super evolution clues, and it is always necessary to explore them.

Anyway, it's still a lot of days before the opening of the gorgeous competition, and these days are idle...

Xia Chen patted his head and immediately made a decision, and he would set off for Meteor Waterfall tomorrow!
