Chapter 1009: Violent Clouds of Suspicion

Su Hao put away his phone with a calm expression, stood up, and asked Shen Lingyun, "Do you know where these Magnemite and Magneton usually live?"

"Huh?" Shen Lingyun was dazed for a moment. He racked his brain for a long time before shaking his head. "I don't know..."

"I know."

Wearing a blue work uniform and moving with incredible efficiency, Shen Meizhuang stepped forward in her safety shoes, carrying a massive adjustable wrench, walking toward the two of them step by step.

As the saying goes, one should not judge a book by its cover; although Shen Meizhuang was beautiful, her profession was that of the chief engineer in charge of this power plant. She dealt with those Magnemite and Magneton on a daily basis, so she naturally knew exactly where their nest was.

Seeing who it was, Shen Lingyun said with dissatisfaction, "Sis, why are you here? It's very dangerous here!"

Shen Meizhuang gave a spirited smile and said, "When I heard the noise gradually die down, I ignored Dad's advice and came over."

Shen Lingyun retorted, "What if the two of us had been finished off by the Magnemite and Magneton? Aren't you just walking into a death trap?"

"But you succeeded, didn't you?" Shen Meizhuang blinked playfully, waved the giant adjustable wrench in her hand, and then added, "Besides, I came here prepared to collect your corpses."

Su Hao & Shen Lingyun: "........."

Seeing the two of them rendered speechless by her words, Shen Meizhuang stopped teasing them. With reddened eyes, she bowed solemnly and said, "Little brother, and classmate Li Hua, thank you for helping the Magnemite and the others escape their sea of suffering and saving them."

"Hey, hey, hey, Sis, that's a bit too much." It was the first time Shen Lingyun had seen his sister—who had always been tougher than any boy and had protected him since he was small—bowing with reddened eyes, so he hurriedly helped her up.

As for Su Hao, he had been "disconnected" for a while before finally reconnecting to the conversation. He laughed sheepishly, "Right, right, right, you're being too polite, Sister."

While comforting Shen Meizhuang, Su Hao kept a straight face while inwardly exclaiming how close that was.

It took him a long time to realize why Shen Meizhuang had called out Li Hua's name.

Damn, he almost forgot—I'm actually called Li Hua right now!

Shen Meizhuang rubbed her eyes, and under the comfort of the two, she quickly pulled herself together. She said in a slightly dejected tone, "Ever since I became an engineer at the power plant, I've become friends with the Magnemite and the others. I usually use my own salary to prepare large batteries for them to feed on."

"When they suddenly became violent this time, I was really panicked. I wasn't just worried about my father's power plant being in danger; I was also worried about whether those Magnemite and Magneton would die from an excess of electricity."

"Now that they've been taken into Poké Balls, they should be out of life-threatening danger." Shen Meizhuang put down the adjustable wrench in her hand, looked at Su Hao, and said, "So, to show my gratitude, classmate Li Hua, let me take you to where they live."

Su Hao's expression froze, and he nodded slightly to agree.

Before leaving, Su Hao leaned over to Shen Lingyun and asked, "By the way, can that thunderbolt your Electivire used during the University Cup still be used now?"

Shen Lingyun said with a bitter face, "It can... but usually, Electivire and I don't dare to use it. Given its current strength, if it uses it once, Electivire would have to lie in a hospital bed for at least a month due to the pressure exceeding its limits."

"Just like after the University Cup, Electivire was bedridden for a month. Otherwise, I would have at least touched the edge of the Professional level by now."

Su Hao pondered for a moment and asked again, "Does it only cause physical injuries? Can it be used a second time as long as it recovers?"

Shen Lingyun did not know what medicine Su Hao was selling in his gourd, but after a moment of hesitation, she replied: "........ As long as the Electric-Shock Beast's physical constitution is strong enough to bear the side effects brought about by this move, there are no restrictions; it can be used as many times as one wishes."

Su Hao's face brightened. He patted Shen Lingyun on the shoulder and urged, "Show me your payment code!"

"Huh?" Shen Lingyun was completely confused, having no idea what Su Hao was thinking, but under Su Hao's urging, he still displayed his payment code.

"Beep~~"

Su Hao took out his phone, scanned Shen Lingyun's payment code, and his slender fingers performed a series of operations on the screen.

"Ding~ Piplup Flash Pay

Treasure received, one million yuan~"

Shen Lingyun stared blankly at his phone. Upon closer inspection, his eyes were filled with disbelief.

Why did Su Hao transfer him a million?

"Whoa, little brother, are you being kept by your classmate?" Shen Meizhuang, who had just driven her Jeep over, rolled down the window and said in a teasing tone.

"Kept... kept!?"

Shen Lingyun's body shuddered, and he looked at Su Hao with an expression of extreme horror.

He didn't expect Su Hao to be this kind of person, to actually have such a hobby.

But... Su Hao was indeed very rich, very strong, and very handsome. Following him didn't seem like a loss...?

While Shen Lingyun was struggling with whether or not to "follow" Su Hao, Su Hao had a subtle expression that said, "Where is your mind at?" He said helplessly, "Stop right there. This is for you to buy Electric-type resources for Electivire."

"Huh?"

Shen Lingyun was very puzzled. What kind of saint was Su Hao? Not only did he help out, but he also transferred money for him to train his Pokémon?

Su Hao said in a calm tone, "Supplement Electivire more before I return. Otherwise, I'm afraid that when the time comes to... *ahem*, when it spars with my Pokémon, it won't be able to handle it."

When the time came, as long as he had his Viridian Force to provide continuous healing, Electivire would definitely be able to release that thunderbolt containing Raikou's power multiple times.

But Viridian Force could only replenish Electivire's stamina at most. If it wasn't "fattened up" a bit, Electivire would likely be drained dry by Incineroar.

Poor Shen Lingyun didn't know what kind of torture his Electivire would face in the future. He foolishly replied "Okay," and then, looking happy, he hopped and skipped away, planning to go on a big shopping spree.

Having sent Shen Lingyun away, Su Hao turned his head to look at Shen Meizhuang, who was staring at him blankly, lost in thought for some reason. He waved his hand and said, "Sister Shen?"

"Ah? Oh!" Shen Meizhuang snapped out of her daze, calmed her wildly beating heart, and pointed to the back seat. "Get in the car. I'll take you to where the Magnemite and the others live."

Su Hao gave her a puzzled look, sat directly in the back seat of the Jeep, and fastened his seatbelt, feeling strange.

Why does this family like to zone out so much?

Shen Meizhuang's driving skills were quite good. Although the ground was covered in gravel along the way, it wasn't too bumpy—at least much better than the "black car" motorcycle ride.

After about ten minutes of driving, a mountain of metal trash appeared in Su Hao's field of vision.

Shen Meizhuang didn't look back as she introduced it to Su Hao: "Classmate Li... Hua, this is where the Magnemite and the others usually live."

Looking at the dilapidated and dirty mountain of metal trash in front of him, Su Hao nodded with a complex expression. He closed his eyes slightly, and his vast Aura, which ordinary people could not perceive, spread out like a tide to the surroundings.
