RNP Chapter 62 Debut
Chapter 62 Debut
The next day,
The midday sun streamed in through the gaps in the curtains, casting dappled shadows on the floor.
Lin Ye stretched and got out of bed, but when he stepped out of the room, he found it empty; Qiao Yijing had already left.
This is not Lin Ye's fault. Last night, he waited for Daigo at the Skarmory group and then unexpectedly encountered Zoroark, spending most of the day learning how to deeply develop the "Illusion" ability.
Finally, in the early hours of the morning, they participated in the long-awaited double-cross operation and brought back the beloved Charcoal Servant.
By the time Lin Ye finished his work and returned, it was already dawn. He dragged his tired body and fell asleep immediately. When he opened his eyes again, it was already midday.
The living room was empty, except for a note on the dining table:
"Lin Ye, a terrible incident happened in Lilycove City early this morning. Many injured people will be coming to the Pokémon Center. I'll definitely be very busy tonight, so don't wait for me to eat!"
--quiet!"
Looking at the note, Lin Ye felt a slight sense of guilt. Qiao Yijing's overtime work today was also related to him.
However, when I thought about what I had gained last night, I could completely ignore the feeling of apology.
After all, as the saying goes: sacrifice the small for the greater good.
Lin Ye's thoughts instantly cleared up again. He then took out his phone to check the time; it was almost noon.
The pinned message in the unread messages below was from Xiaoyao, who was fast asleep at the time.
"Lin Ye! There's this guy who's been bothering me lately, it's so annoying! But our two families have some connections, so I can't just refuse him directly."
"Can you come see me today? Tell him you're my boyfriend and come with me to see him. Make him give up completely, and I'll treat you to a big meal afterwards!"
"Hey~, someone dares to make a move on me, the second richest woman!"
Lin Ye was taken aback, thinking of a young man with a green hair.
"She must be talking about Shun! Hehe~, that guy is still up to his old tricks, looks like I need to give him a little setback."
Although this behavior is somewhat like being used as a shield, considering that Xiaoyao and Lin Ye already had feelings for each other, and that she was one of the rich women Lin Ye planned to woo, there was nothing to hesitate about.
Lin Ye put down his phone, intending to get himself and his Pokémon some food first, but then suddenly remembered that he already had a "Hoenn Chef" in his team.
It spoke with such confidence last night, so its cooking skills must be superb. Since no one is in the villa now, let's give it a try.
So he took out the Luxury Ball, released Charcoal Servant, and brought it to Joey Jing's luxurious kitchen.
Looking at the high-end kitchenware and the dazzling array of ingredients in the huge refrigerator, Tan Xiaoshi immediately drooled with emotion, and flames shot up from his head!
"Boss, is this your kitchen? Being your chef must be so wonderful."
"It's alright. The equipment and the venue are all yours now; it's up to you to do your best!"
"Alright~ Boss, just wait and enjoy the culinary skills of the most renowned master chef in Hoenn in the future!"
Charcoal Servant excitedly ran to the stove, which was taller than the flames above its head, then turned away awkwardly:
"Boss, I think I need a stool."
“…………”
Lin Ye found a stool for Tan Xiaoshi, and then "Little Chef" pushed it to the refrigerator door and began to select ingredients.
After that, she pushed the ingredients and stools onto the stove, put on an apron and belt, and began to prepare the food in a professional manner.
"Clang clang clang clang~~"
It wielded the kitchen knife, its movements so fast they were dazzling.
Tomatoes were sliced into even, thin slices; onions were shredded; potatoes were cut into strips the thickness of matchsticks; beef was cut into uniform chunks; and bell peppers and mushrooms were also cut into pretty shapes.
The entire process took no more than three minutes, leaving the other Pokémon dumbfounded.
"Holy crap! That's faster than me stealing things!" Gastly nodded in approval.
"This is indeed excellent swordsmanship. If one day this little fellow were to possess a precious sword that resonates with his will, I would certainly have a good duel with him."
Tan Xiaoshi put down the cleaver and wiped non-existent sweat from his forehead: "These are just basic skills, nothing to mention!"
Next, it was finally cooked and put into the pot.
Unlike others who cook, Tan Xiaoshi didn't use liquefied gas to start a fire; instead, he opened his mouth and breathed out a flame.
At this point, there are no problems; many Fire-type Pokémon can cook with their own flames.
But Tan Xiaoshi showed off a bunch of crazy tricks in front of Lin Ye and everyone else.
As it lifted the pot and tossed the wok, it used its mind to control the flames that had just spewed out.
"This is... controlling fire from a distance!"
Lin Ye was shocked!
"That's right!" The snow fairy persisted in translating, braving the sweltering heat from the stove.
"It said it was born with the ability to attract flames from a distance, and later it further developed this ability to make cooking easier."
Through persistent practice, it can now not only absorb flames from a distance, but also control them remotely.
"I see! Superb knife skills and exquisite fire control, no wonder people say this charcoal servant is exceptionally talented."
Lin Ye understood. This little charcoal servant had actually developed extraordinary knife skills in order to cook, and had also further developed the "fire-starting" property.
Although it does all this simply for cooking, it would be incredibly powerful in actual combat as well.
Lin Ye was already looking forward to seeing how strong Tan Xiaoshi would become after evolving into the Azure Flame Blade Demon with the "Cursed Armor," given his powerful swordsmanship and control over flames.
Soon, the aroma of stir-fried dishes gradually filled the air, making Gastly's mouth water. Zoroar also stood up, sniffing the air incessantly.
Even the usually indifferent Snow Fairy had eyes full of anticipation at this moment.
Charcoal Servant was completely immersed in its own world, tossing the wok and stir-frying with fluid, seamless movements.
In just over ten minutes, four dishes and a soup were served, all of them delicious and visually appealing.
After smelling the aroma, the Pokémon buried themselves in the food like starving ghosts.
Lin Ye took a bite and gave it a thumbs up:
"Delicious! It tastes just like the real thing!"
…………
After finishing their meal, Lin Ye took the demons to the woods on the outskirts of Mizushima City, intending to give them, especially Tanjiro who had just joined the team, a combat training session.
After all, having talent is one thing, but fighting spirit and the desire to become a strong person are even more important.
He had already promised Xiaoyao that he would act as her shield tonight, so all he could do now was to focus on training.
At first, Tanji didn't want to participate in combat training. It was focused on becoming a "Special Grade Chef" and didn't understand why it had to fight.
Later, after Lin Ye tricked it into believing that it could only successfully use the "Cursed Armor" to complete its evolution by becoming stronger to a certain extent, it reluctantly mustered up the energy to start training.
