LRAB Chapter 730 Rewards based on merit
Chapter 730 Rewards based on merit
Xiao Juer's eyes moved slightly. As the most beautiful woman in the Unova region and a world-famous supermodel, she had come into contact with many young talents, but she had never met someone like Yang Ming who came from a low-income family. In just two months, he eliminated all enemies and ruled a quarter of the Alola region. He was simply a young overlord!
"The ideal and real king of the Unova region, as described in legends, must have been just like this when he was young," Xiao Juer thought to herself, "Which girl in the world wouldn't want to marry a young hero like this? What a pity..."
Xiao Juer sighed softly, a hint of desolation flickering in her eyes. She had witnessed Yang Ming rise from the ashes and conquer the entire Ula Ula Island step by step. She had also witnessed how Yang Ming won back the hearts of the people and resumed production. The more she got to know Yang Ming, the more she was drawn to his unique charm. The more she realized that her position in Yang Ming's heart had always been just "Feng Lu's best friend."
Yang Ming is a man who values feelings. He treats his subordinates who work for him very well. Even if they are just undocumented illegal residents, he will protect them and take care of their relatives as well. He teaches all he knows to Hala, the king of the island, just because Hala had done him a favor in Johto. When Kahili helped him to dominate Ula Ula Island, he was willing to share power with her and had no intention of abandoning her.
What such people pursue is not money, status, power, or beauty, but sincerity. Because for Yang Ming, these things can be obtained by force, but sincerity is the only thing that cannot be exchanged for these tangible things.
Xiao Juer asked herself, if it was her instead of Feng Lu who met Yang Ming in Chengdu, would she have any interest in this young man who was still wandering in Chengdu at that time?
After all, the one who could accept this down-and-out young man without any grudge was not her who had already become famous, but Feng Lu, who was simple-minded and had no bad intentions towards anyone.
"It seems like the future princess has already been chosen..." Xiao Juer felt bitter, "But even if there's no title, I still want to do my best to help him achieve success..."
She secretly made up her mind and decided to take action immediately after returning to Hezhong.
…………
After killing all the enemies and conquering the quiet city of Malie, Yang Ming began to send letters of surrender to the four cities that had not yet surrendered. Along with the letters of surrender, there was also a video of Yang Ming killing the eight quasi-kings.
These four cities were originally the territories of Thomas Jr. and others. When the defenders of these four cities saw their leader being killed, they immediately lost their will to fight and surrendered to Yang Ming one after another. Yang Ming then ruled the entire Ula Ula Island.
Afterwards, he ordered his men to count the spoils. In the battle of Malie, Yang Ming not only obtained the Pokémon of the eight quasi-kings who had survived the battle, as well as the Z-Crystals, but also seized Liangzi's seven concubines and his treasury.
After hearing that these concubines were all stolen by Liangzi, Yang Ming immediately gave them money to send them away. As for the treasures in the vault, Yang Ming took all the materials used for fighting and training Pokémon for himself, and then used the gold, silver and jewelry to provide relief to the victims and reward his subordinates who had followed him.
"There is actually a golden dragon throne? Liangzi has not fallen behind in terms of enjoyment." Yang Ming patted the golden dragon throne, turned around and threw it into the warehouse.
As for the medicines, Poké Balls, Evolution Stones and other materials, Yang Ming rewarded them to those who had made contributions according to their merits. Among them, Du Du and others were rewarded with Evolution Stones and a large amount of money for providing information and helping to break the city. People like Zou Shanmang, who had been acting as small advisers, also received Evolution Stones as rewards. Ordinary people who had not made such great contributions received a large number of Poké Balls and medicines as rewards. Everyone was happy.
After rewarding the money and ordinary items, Yang Ming began to process the newly obtained Z-pure crystals.
After Fanshan Yao and the others died, Liangzi and the others annexed their territory and took the purest crystals they left behind. Now, with the death of Liangzi and the others, these purest crystals have all become Yang Ming's spoils of war.
Yang Ming looked at these pure Z crystals and fell into deep thought.
Although there are quite a few Z-Crystals, they are basically ordinary crystals of various attributes. The special Z-Crystal is only one kind that belongs exclusively to Snorlax.
Compared to general Z-pure crystals, this type of exclusive Z-pure crystal is not only powerful, but also comes with special effects.
As Yang Ming mastered mega evolution and Z-moves, he was no longer interested in ordinary Z-moves. He is now only interested in special Z-moves that are exclusive to specific Pokémon.
Unfortunately, he can't use Snorlax's only Z move.
Fortunately, there were some Z-Moves left that Yang Ming could use. After careful selection, Yang Ming chose Rock and Dragon-attributed Z-Moves as his future weapons.
As for the other ordinary Z pure crystals, Yang Ming called in his adjutants Tokugawa and Jones and asked them to each pick a pair to take back.
The two men declined, saying that they could not accept such a valuable reward.
"What are you afraid of? Ula'la Island is just the starting point of our hegemony. There will be things like this in the future."
Under Yang Ming's persuasion, Tokugawa and Jones each picked a pair of Z-Pure Crystals. Tokugawa chose a pair of Fairy-attribute Z-Pure Crystals for Blue King, while Jones chose a Flying-attribute Z-Pure Crystal because his Golbat had just evolved into Crossbat.
As for his student Hawu, Yang Ming decided to give him the key stone he had previously snatched from his "good brother" Jamaica.
"You are the grandson of the King of the Island. There will definitely be no shortage of Z-Pure Crystals in the future, so I'm giving you this Key Stone. As for the Mega Evolution Stone that works with it, you'll have to rely on your own abilities to obtain it."
This is how Yang Ming educates his disciples. He neither lets his disciples do whatever they want nor acts as a full-time "personal nanny". Instead, he allows his disciples to develop freely while providing certain help.
"This bastard actually forgot about me!"
When Gladion heard that Yang Ming did not give him any reward, he was about to explode. He had made such a great contribution, but in the end he didn't get anything. It was so unfair!
However, Yang Ming was very confident: "I provided your sister's tuition and accommodation during this period. As her brother, you didn't spend a penny on her."
"And I even fulfilled my brotherly duties for you by buying new clothes for your sister. Did you see her beautiful white stockings? I bought them for her."
"And I saved her twice during this time... Well, one of those times was done by my sister Xijiana, but since Xijiana is gone, this little credit can be attributed to me."
"In short, you're a completely incompetent brother. As compensation to your sister, you need to work for free to repay my efforts."
Gladion was speechless and could only accept the fact that he was a big cow and horse.
