Chapter 142 Since ancient times...
In the vast sea area on the border of China, there is a mysterious and beautiful island hidden. This island is like a shining pearl, inlaid on the blue sea.
It is surrounded by crystal clear waters, soft sandy beaches and lush vegetation, creating an enchanting picture.
If such a unique natural environment can be reasonably developed and utilized and built into a tourist destination, it will surely attract countless tourists and become a popular tourist attraction.
At this moment, two figures quietly appeared on the beach, breaking the original tranquility.
Their appearance startled a nearby sun coral so much that it screamed and fled into the sea in a hurry.
Lin Guochang watched the panicked sun coral disappear beneath the sea. He slowly turned his gaze around and fully appreciated the beautiful scenery before him. A feeling of emotion welled up in his heart.
"The scenery here is so beautiful! It is even better than the famous tourist city of Sanya! If I have the opportunity to visit here again in the future, it would be a good thing."
However, Ruan Tianli on the side smiled slightly, shook his head gently, and said in a slightly warning tone:
"Of course you can try, but remember, if you enter this Pearl Island without permission, you may be shot on the spot~"
After saying that, he pointed around and signaled Lin Guochang to observe carefully.
Lin Guochang looked in the direction of his finger and saw several huge large-billed gulls hovering in the sky, looking down vigilantly;
There are several tall coconut palm trees standing by the beach, like guards protecting the island.
In the rough sea, there are huge lobsters lurking...
These Pokémon that can be found everywhere on the island may not attract attention at first, but if you pay a little attention, you will notice that they are different.
They are strong in build, with shiny fur, and are obviously excellent animals that have been carefully cared for and trained.
What is more noteworthy is that these Pokémon have earphone-like equipment stuffed into their ears, and their eyes are fixed on this side, like hunters ready to strike. As long as Lin Guochang makes the slightest movement, they will attack without hesitation and put him to death.
Judging from their appearance alone, these Pokémon should be quite powerful.
Although it may not pose a substantial threat to the battle-hardened Lin Guochang, it may still cause him some trouble if a surprise attack is launched when he is caught off guard.
Not only that, Lin Guochang also keenly felt that several gazes were fixed on him.
But after a moment, those eyes shifted away again.
Could they be security personnel sent by the Alliance to guard this place?
“Wait, Pearl Island?”
Lin Guochang's heart suddenly shook and he looked at Ruan Tianli in astonishment.
"Didn't we Chinese snatch this Pearl Island from the Philippines more than a decade ago..."
"Hey! What do you mean by snatch? Can you speak?"
Ruan Tianli shouted, interrupting Lin Guochang, who then pointed his finger and spoke in a very logical manner.
"You will be one of the Four Heavenly Kings in the future, so you still have to be careful with your language. That's not called robbery. This Pearl Island has been an inseparable part of our China since ancient times!"
"……hehe."
Lin Guochang couldn't help but roll his eyes at him. A man who was speaking to President Aminos of another country in a diplomatic setting with other countries had no right to ask him to be more careful with his language.
During this period, China and the Philippines had conflicts in the sea, and a big part of the reason was this Pearl Island.
Originally, Lin Guochang was a little confused. It was just an isolated island. Was it necessary to go to so much trouble?
Now it seems that the island has a lot of secrets hidden in it as it is valued so much by the alliance.
Originally, those old guys at the top of the alliance were not going to approve Ruan Tianli's application, but before they could give an excuse, Lu Wusong became unhappy.
In his opinion: Lin Guochang trains → becomes stronger → can become the new king → the work can be shared.
However, Lin Guochang did not receive adequate training → his strength was not enough → he lost in the King of Kings competition → he did not get any share of the work.
In order to take a vacation, Lu Wusong acted like a madman on the spot, suddenly pointing at so-and-so and how much tax they had evaded this year, how many shell companies so-and-so had under his name, and how so-and-so received gifts from which place.
Judging from the expressions of those old guys, it was obvious that Lu Wusong was right.
Lu Wusong launched another offensive, saying that if you want to embarrass me, none of us will live!
...Well, his mental state was very good, so much so that Ruan Tianli was so scared that he called Xia Nantian on the spot to help with the work and forcibly sent Lu Wusong to the hospital for examination.
Although there were some twists and turns, Ruan Tianli's application was finally approved.
Ruan Tianli seemed very familiar with this island.
Before long, he found a seemingly ordinary rock wall and reached out his hand and tapped it twice.
“Dongdong——”
As crisp knocking sounds were heard, a small hole suddenly appeared above the rock wall.
Faced with this sudden change, Ruan Tianli did not show the slightest surprise, but calmly stuffed the application form in his hand into the small hole.
After a moment, a clearly electronically synthesized voice came from the small hole and asked:
"This guy has been in a bit of an unstable state lately. Are you sure you want to come over?"
When asked, Ruan Tianli just waved his hand casually, indicating that he didn't care.
Then, the electronic synthesized voice sounded again:
"Then why did he come along?"
The "he" here naturally refers to Lin Guochang who was standing next to Ruan Tianli.
Faced with the question, Ruan Tianli answered casually: "Just a sparring partner."
Lin Guochang did not interrupt. After all, according to common sense, he was not qualified to use this so-called training equipment as he had not yet become one of the Four Heavenly Kings.
Since I came in through the back door, it would be better for me to just keep my mouth shut and wait for the process to be completed.
The small hole was silent for a long time, as if time had stopped.
Finally, the rock wall in front of him suddenly shook slightly, and then a piece of rock that was originally no different from the surrounding rocks slowly sank downwards, revealing a huge metal door hidden inside.
Ruan Tianli took a deep breath, stepped forward, and gripped the door handle tightly.
His fingers lightly touched the surface of the handle, and instantly completed the extraction of fingerprint information on it. Then, his eyes fell on a small hole in the center of the door lock, which was obviously a device for iris verification.
Ruan Tianli stared at the small hole. After a moment, he heard a clear electronic sound:
"Identity confirmed, King Ruan, welcome."
As the voice fell, the metal door slowly opened with a low roar.
Ruan Tianli gripped the door handle tightly and pulled it hard, then turned and motioned to Lin Guochang behind him to follow.
Under the seemingly ordinary rock shell outside the door, there is such a unique scene hidden - a laboratory full of futuristic and technological atmosphere is presented before your eyes.
Under the bright lights, rows of precision instruments are neatly arranged, and various complex data charts and screens are flashing.
The researchers in white lab coats were busy and focused on their respective jobs, conducting some mysterious research that was puzzling to the public.
They kept typing on the keyboard and recording data. The densely packed numbers, like tiny handwriting, made the viewers feel dizzy.
Lin Guochang was surprised to find that these researchers were actually the Pokémon doctors who had publicly retired to the outside world.
“Only those who have reached a certain level of research and have retired and cut off contact with the outside world can come here to conduct research.”
Ruan Tianli explained in a low voice: "If your wife retires in the future, she will also be eligible to come here. Of course, it all depends on her personal opinion whether she wants to come to this godforsaken place."
Lin Guochang nodded to show that he understood.
"King Ruan, this way..."
An old man with gray hair who looked like a leader came over. Lin Guochang did not listen carefully to the conversation between him and Ruan Tianli because his attention was all on the content of the experiments.
It seems to be... cloning technology?
