In a massive conference room.
Inside the spacious and bright conference room, soft lighting fell onto the floor, creating a tranquil and solemn atmosphere.
Everyone was seated around the huge round table in the center of the conference room, making the scene appear exceptionally orderly and solemn.
Among them were three familiar figures.
They were none other than Jiao Wuyan, Ye Jinnian, and Li Zhengxin.
At this moment, one of them spoke first.
"Old Jiao, Old Ye, have you two started getting senile? How could you just decide on that person's general position so decisively?"
"That's right! This idea really lacks proper consideration!"
"Exactly, this is a matter of national importance. Even you two shouldn't be able to open such a backdoor so easily. Besides, this will definitely cause resentment among many soldiers."
...
Slap!
Listening to the chatter from everyone, someone finally couldn't take it anymore.
A heavy sound broke the argumentative meeting.
Ye Jinnian and Jiao Wuyan looked at Li Zhengxin with some surprise.
The latter looked away directly, clearly not wanting to see their faces.
"Don't misunderstand, I'm just annoyed by all this useless nonsense."
Thump, thump, thump!
After saying that, he symbolically tapped on the table and cast a very serious gaze at the two of them.
"You two should explain the specific details."
The two of them appeared serious on the surface, but were secretly laughing inside.
They thought to themselves that this dishonest old man had clearly already let it go, yet he insisted on keeping that expression, as if they owed him money.
Jiao Wuyan immediately straightened his expression. "You all should stop with the hindsight. At the time, none of you dared to do anything!"
"Now you come to us looking for a sense of presence? You want a reason? We'll give you a reason."
After finishing, he signaled to his old friend beside him.
Ye Jinnian took over the conversation.
"First of all, everyone knows very well what contributions the other party has made."
"Not only did she ease the relationship with the Pokémon, but she also solved the initial problems for us. Not to mention the technology she left for us to research."
"As for her ability, you all know that better than anyone."
Ye Jinnian and Jiao Wuyan didn't give the others any face this time.
Hah, they couldn't come up with any ideas, and now they wanted to bully them?
"But given her situation, she simply won't be able to convince the masses."
"That is no longer our concern. People with ability cannot hide their brilliance no matter how they try to cover it up."
"Besides, if you have the ability, go say it to her face."
Seeing someone still refuting, Jiao Wuyan spoke without thinking.
That's the reason. If you have the guts, don't put on an act in front of us.
In short, the topic regarding Fei Xiao in this meeting was hastily concluded.
Afterwards, it was about some related research on Pokémon and previous projects.
"By the way, according to investigations, there is a strange rumor near the waters of Sakura Country."
"Tell us the details."
"It seems there was a hidden island in the sea, but a few days ago, that island inexplicably sank. They even rumored that this was the work of a monster."
"However, since there are no traces left, it is impossible to verify its authenticity."
"Forget it, the current focus is still on the construction of the Pokémon House in our country and subsequent arrangements."
"Right, as for those messy matters, let them worry about it themselves!"
...
...
"Bulbasaur! Bulbasaur!"
Fei Xiao looked at the group of Bulbasaur in front of her, a gratified smile appearing on her face.
"It seems you have successfully found your way home!"
The Bulbasaur also came forward very enthusiastically to nuzzle Fei Xiao.
Lin Siyu and Meng Xi also moved to Fei Xiao's side.
"Yeah!"
"Your Bulbasaur was jumping up and down with excitement at that time!"
Listening to the teasing, the Bulbasaur couldn't help but lower its head.
Everyone noticed the little guy's flushed face.
...
"These Pokémon are so cute!"
Jiao Xiaoyan's speech was very excited, her hands shaking slightly with excitement.
Clearly, she had long been looking forward to having close contact with Pokémon.
"I'm glad you can integrate into the group so naturally."
Fei Xiao looked at her with surprise.
She couldn't tell that after they last parted, she had become so interested in Pokémon.
Lin Siyu and Meng Xi were not surprised at all.
Only after personal contact would one discover the cuteness of Pokémon.
Especially since the Pokémon present were of the smaller, cuter type, which was very attractive to girls.
Grovyle:???
Clang!
Fei Xiao looked at Meng Xi beside her, speechless.
"So this is your reason for dragging me, an injured person, to come cook?"
Meng Xi nodded without blushing or skipping a beat.
"Yes, in any case, we cannot let Siyu touch the kitchen utensils again."
Jiao Xiaoyan, who was helping out on the side, blankly washed the berries in her hands.
She kept wondering what she had missed again!
As for Lin Siyu?
She was sitting alone on the side, waiting for dinner, her slender fingers constantly drawing circles on the table.
Although her task was very easy, she always felt a sense of being isolated. She clearly wanted to help and learn to cook too!
Damn little Meng, she actually told on me to Sister Fei Xiao!
I'll draw a circle in my heart to Curse you to never grow up!
...
About half an hour later.
"Everyone, dinner is served!"
"Melo!"
It was still the familiar recipe.
Diancie and Meloetta helped distribute the Pokémon food together.
This scene, which looked like a cafeteria serving food, left Fei Xiao stunned.
She moved her stiff gaze toward Meng Xi and the others.
"So this is why I prepared so many berries, yet now there isn't a single one left?"
"Uh..."
Both of them turned their heads away embarrassedly.
After all, to max out the Pokémon's favorability, they used Sister Fei Xiao's berries to feed them every meal.
Fei Xiao patted her forehead, speechless.
You can't live without me, right? Do you have to keep using berries to increase favorability? It's not like you didn't bring other fruits and snacks!
Lin Siyu: Forgot!
Meng Xi: It's not as effective as berries!
Jiao Xiaoyan: What does that have to do with me?
It was bad enough that she had to cook herself upon returning, but she also had to take out more berries.
"Sigh!"
Fei Xiao could only sigh silently.
After distributing the Pokémon food, the four of them returned to the table to eat.
"Sister Fei Xiao, are those berries very rare?"
Meng Xi asked uncertainly.
Fei Xiao didn't answer immediately, but closed her eyes.
Although everyone didn't understand, they tacitly kept quiet.
A few minutes later.
Fei Xiao slowly opened her eyes.
"What's wrong?"
"Just now I tried to investigate, and I didn't find a single berry within a few kilometers of the vicinity."
"I don't rule out coincidence, but it's very likely that they are indeed quite rare."
As the words fell.
The three of them were stunned!
What the hell?
You finished investigating a radius of several miles just by closing your eyes?
