Chapter 779: Random control
"Well, then you should work hard." Yang Ming nodded, turned and left.
Only a trainer can decide his own path. Yang Ming will not interfere with Cobin's choice. Only he can decide how far he can go in the future.
“It was a really great match.”
As soon as he walked out of the room, Yang Ming met Shirona and Cattleya walking towards him. The Sinnoh champion gave this evaluation of this competition.
"Champion, you're too kind. With my limited skills, I'm probably just showing off in front of you." Yang Ming said modestly.
"You're quite self-aware," Cattleya said, unlike Sirona. "If you were to score a perfect 100, I'd give you about 60, which is barely a passing grade."
"Winning all three battles is barely a passing grade. In your eyes, does a perfect score mean being superhuman?"
Shirona watched the two bickering and couldn't help but chuckle: "Cattleya, that's not what you said when you were in front of me just now..."
Cattleya quickly covered her mouth and said, "Don't talk nonsense. I don't like people who are so petty."
"Okay, okay, I got it. You guys chat slowly, I won't disturb you anymore." After saying that, Shirona left very "tactfully", leaving Yang Ming and Cattleya staring at each other.
"To be honest, there's something I can't figure out." Taking advantage of the fact that no one else was around, Yang Ming quickly pulled Cattleya into the small room next door. "Why did you provoke a fight between me and Kebin?"
"No matter what, I am the king of the island now. I don't care about a mere 1 billion bet. Why do you want me to gamble with him for such a small amount of money?" Yang Ming was a little puzzled.
Cattleya couldn't help but roll her eyes at him: "What an idiot! Do you think everyone spends money like you do?"
Yang Ming was puzzled: "Huh? Isn't he an outstanding descendant of the Temple Clan? Can't he even come up with 1 billion?"
"Those are the resources of the Temple Clan, not Kebin's own money," Cattleya explained. "Although these major forces possess abundant resources and can cultivate a large number of outstanding successors, there are also rules for the internal allocation of resources. Although Kebin enjoys high treatment in the Temple Clan, the wealth he can personally control is very limited."
"It's like a rich young master who lives a life of luxury, his clothes and food are so luxurious that ordinary people would look up to him. But those resources are given by his family, and he can't control them at will."
"I see," Yang Ming suddenly realized. "No wonder you deliberately used provocation to provoke a fight between him and me. It turns out you saw that Kebin had no financial power."
"Yes," Cattleya nodded. "He definitely won't be able to come up with the money by then. He can only rely on his status as the heir to take you to Miqi's temple to participate in the temple clan's trial."
"But will things really go so smoothly?" Yang Ming was still a little hesitant. "The power of overcoming is a special ability that only the Temple Clan possesses, right? How could an outsider like me possibly be recognized by them? The Temple Clan might even break the contract on the spot."
"You don't understand this," Cattleya deliberately whispered in his ear, "Don't look at Kebin as a simple-minded young man. He is the younger brother of the temple's Saint Sina. As long as he persuades her, Sina, as the Saint, will definitely relent and agree to this."
"And you must seize this opportunity. Even if you fail to master the power of transcendence, you must establish good relations with the Temple Clan, and ideally win the favor of the Temple Saint."
"What? You want me to have a relationship with someone else again?" Yang Ming felt something was wrong the more he listened. "Why do I feel like you're using me as a gigolo?"
"If you want to achieve great things, you must learn to be good at dealing with people," Cattleya taught. "Besides, what's wrong with being a gigolo? As long as you can gather enough forces to help you, what's the big deal even if you end up being a 'son-in-law of a hundred families'?"
"The reason emperors throughout history have had numerous wives and concubines is to win over the power behind them," Cattleya counseled him earnestly. "You must recognize this and take the initiative to approach those young ladies with strong backgrounds."
"I'd rather die than become a son-in-law!" Yang Ming gritted his teeth. "How can I, a man who fought my way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, a great overlord, become a son-in-law? If being a son-in-law is the only way to advance my career, then I'd rather stay on Ula'ula Island and be a king for the rest of my life."
"Don't be so rigid. When you become the King of Unova, won't you be able to choose the girl you love as your legal wife according to your own will? As for other women, just give them a title."
"Get lost! I'd rather die than do such a thing!"
The two of them had a huge disagreement on the matter of "son-in-law". Seeing that Yang Ming refused to accept her advice, Cattleya had no choice but to give up trying to persuade him.
"By the way, what are you going to do next?" Cattleya asked. "Right now, Sinnoh is searching everywhere for Team Ginga, but as far as I know, Team Ginga's headquarters is deserted. Unless Chiri shows up, no one will be able to find him."
"I'm planning to go to Random Town," Yang Ming said. "I've already made an appointment with the Black Gold Gym Leader, Piaotai, to go to the underground world, and the place we agreed on is Random Town in the central Sinnoh region."
Another reason for choosing Suiyi Town is that there is an ancient relic called "Suiyi Ruins" there, which contains unknown totems.
Yang Ming had entered the Alufu ruins in the Johto area and suspected that there might be some connection between the two ruins.
"In ancient times, the Sinnoh region and the Johto region were once connected. Perhaps the Suiyi Ruins were once part of the Alfu Ruins." Yang Ming guessed.
"Since you want to go there, take me with you," Cattleya suggested. "It seems that Shirona is also busy commanding the suppression of Team Galaxy recently. It's really boring for me to stay here alone. Let's just go out and get some fresh air."
Yang Ming didn't mean to object to her, but simply asked, "By the way, what is my student Hao doing now?"
"Him? Ever since he was commended by Miss Junsha of Shenhe Town, he has received a lot of bonuses. During the days when you and Sirona were sparring, he was traveling around the Sinnoh region."
"This guy! He won't train hard now that I'm gone?" Yang Ming was immediately furious. "He's going to be the king of the island in the future. If he slacks off like this, what's his future going to be?"
So, Hao was called over by him and given a severe scolding.
"I've decided. You have to go with me on this trip to Suiyi Town. I want to train you well!" Yang Ming said seriously.
