69novels Chapter 20 The Eve of the College Entrance Examination
Chapter 20 The Eve of the College Entrance Examination
June 14th, the 29th.
The day before the college entrance examination (Gaokao) written test.
Lin Chong, who had changed into light summer clothes, stood in the training area, observing the training of the black cat and the meow.
At this moment, the black cat is crashing into the dummy. Compared to a month ago, the speed of its impact is visibly faster and the force is also much greater.
Her physical attack stat, which was previously at the bottom, rose from 60 to 100, barely reaching the passing grade for a level 15 Pokémon. Meanwhile, her speed stat soared from 130 to 180, making her significantly faster than Meowth in actual battles!
The reason why the attributes improved so quickly was twofold: firstly, Lin Chong obtained the "Effort Fruit" from the shop in the second week and gave it to the black cat; secondly, the potential that the latter had previously suppressed was fully released!
But that doesn't mean she can beat Meow Meow.
Compared to the black cat who trains its physical fitness all day long, Lin Chong arranged a completely different training program for Miao Miao.
He lent his phone to Miaomiao, playing various battle videos of Pokémon 24/7 to ensure that Miaomiao wouldn't be caught off guard by an unknown Pokémon during her actual college entrance exam battle.
Once Meow Meow mastered the new move "Enzyme Concentration Adjustment," the black cat had no chance of defeating it.
A special move that can be unleashed in rapid succession during battle, and even has the added benefits of defense and recovery, is simply too overpowered!
Meow Meow secretly went to train with other Pokémon of the same level at the gym. While he didn't lose every time, he certainly beat them all.
In addition, Lin Chong also exchanged the two cocoa fruits that appeared in the shop in the third week, giving one to each cat.
The little black cat is currently level 17, while Meow Meow has reached level 20!
The only two drawbacks are that the shop in the fourth week didn't have any items suitable for the two cats to exchange for, and the second is the issue of Meow Meow's evolution.
Lin Chong clearly remembered that in the game, Meow Meow could evolve into Meow-Woo at level 16.
Although the evolution of Pokémon in this world is not that simple, a level 20 Pokémon should not still be in the first stage.
He asked Miaomiao, who said that she had a feeling of evolution long before she met Lin Chong, but she didn't know why she hadn't evolved yet.
Its current combat power is enough to defeat many second-stage Pokémon, much like the protagonist in an online novel defeating an enemy of a much higher level...
Lin Chong didn't dwell too much on the evolution issue. Even with the college entrance examination approaching, he continued his daily training plan step by step, without being arrogant or impatient.

Lin Chong glanced at the time and called for Er Mao to come and rest, but at that moment he received a message from Chen Xi.
[Chen Xi: Lin Chong, I won't be going over this afternoon. I'm going to a hotel near the exam venue tonight, so I'll stay home with my family this afternoon.]
[Chen Xi: Cute (emoji)]
Lin Chong glanced at it and replied, "Understood."
After a month of getting to know each other, their relationship improved, and Chen Xi changed her address for him back to "coach".
Just then, Xiaoxi ran over and leaned against the door frame, calling out with a grin.
"Brother, Grandpa Zhou is calling you to dinner!"
For a month, Xiaoxi and Linchong stayed at the dojo. The former no longer felt unfamiliar or fearful and basically had a smile on her face every day.
She also got along very well with Old Man Zhou. Lin Chong even saw the old man once telling Xiaoxi about elves with a kind face.
He had never seen Old Man Zhou like that before, nor had he ever heard him speak so patiently...
But for Lin Chong, this was undoubtedly a good thing.
"Let's go eat."
Lin Chong patted Xiao Xi's head and led the two cats out of the training area.
Along the way, many colleagues greeted him, but most of them seemed somewhat uncomfortable.
It is unknown who overheard the news and learned that the brother and sister were being harassed by Xu Xuan and forced to live in the dojo.
As the rumors grew louder, Xu Xuan, feeling embarrassed, continued to rant in the sparring group, demanding a face-to-face confrontation with Lin Chong to prove his innocence.
Lin Chong ignored it, but from then on, his story with Xu Xuan became gossip among his colleagues at the museum.
He walked into the rest area and saw Old Zhou sitting there early, holding a newspaper.
"The stream is here?"
Old Zhou was all smiles, but when he saw Lin Chong come in, his expression changed drastically, and he turned back into that stinky rock.
He scoffed, "Oh, so the top scorer in the college entrance exam is here?"
What score are you aiming for on tomorrow's written test?
Lin Chong casually served the old man rice, saying, "I've only looked at a little bit; it's enough."
The written exam for the Elf College Entrance Examination wasn't difficult, at least not for Lin Chong. Most of the questions were basic, such as type advantages and disadvantages and Elf evolution.
The few challenging questions on "elf habits" and "federal history" account for a small percentage of the total score. Ultimately, the real difference between candidates lies in the practical test.
Xiaoxi obediently picked up a piece of meat for Old Man Zhou and smiled at Lin Chong.
"Brother, I've already made plans with Grandpa Zhou to go to the competition venue to cheer you on during the tests!"
Lin Chong looked at the old man in surprise.
"Are you going too?"
"Ha, I'm not at the age where I can't walk yet."
"...Shall I transfer the hotel money to you?"
The old man gave Lin Chong a disdainful look: "Who wants your paltry sum?"
"Do I look like a penniless pauper?"
How come it's not like this anymore? Just a month ago, we were arguing over a few thousand dollars...
Lin Chong originally disagreed with Xiaoxi leaving the dojo. Although police deployments increased in various regions during the college entrance examination period, considering the variable of Xu Xuan, it was safer for her to stay in the dojo.
Even if you don't go to the venue, you can watch the game through live streaming.
However, with Old Man Zhou by his side, Lin Chong could rest assured.
After lunch, Lin Chong did not train anymore, but instead walked around the entire dojo.
He saw his former partner, the timid and angry cat, lifting dumbbells in the training area; he saw his colleague, Dong Jiahao, trying his best to please the guests in Arena 1; and he saw several overconfident rookie trainers shouting that they wanted to pass the dojo's assessment to become sparring partners...
He watched all this quietly from a corner of the dojo, and couldn't help but sigh, "It's been almost a year."
Lin Chong still remembers that when he first arrived, he relied on his gaming experience from his previous life to bite the bullet and apply for a sparring job at the dojo. He actually managed to beat an opponent arranged by Old Man Zhou and started working there part-time.
He was in a daze, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips. At this moment, the cat that had been following behind him climbed onto his shoulder and poked his cheek with its little paw.
[After your exams, we won't go back to the dojo, right?]
Lin Chong paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "I just won't be coming back for the time being."
"Will you miss leaving here?" He stroked the cat's head, and the cat tilted its head and thought for a long time before asking.
Probably, since I've been here since I was born.
At that moment, the black cat following behind Lin Chong watched the interaction between the two and couldn't help but feel annoyed.
It quickly climbed onto Lin Chong's other shoulder and urged, "Why don't we go back to training?"
The fight is in two days, so we can't afford to be careless now!
Lin Chong smiled and was about to speak when he heard a human-like mockery appear on Miao Miao's face.
He retorted to the black cat: "What's your rush? You don't even need to play in the match the day after tomorrow."
Oh, I forgot, you're so bad at this, you really need to practice more.
Meow deliberately dragged out the last syllable, full of sarcasm. For some reason, he, who was usually peaceful, always got along with the black cat.
Hearing this, the black cat became enraged and bared its teeth, saying, "You're talking nonsense!"
Lin Chong and I agreed that I'd go first in a fight. Who do you think you are?
Meow Meow sneered: "That was also to hide my true strength. You should be secretly happy, thanks to Brother Meow."
Listening to the two cats arguing on either side, Lin Chong felt both amused and somewhat helpless. He glanced at the time and walked out of the building.
It was time for him to collect his scholarship.
