The Kingdom of Loque has arrived, and this sparring partner is so awesome!

Chapter 38 Meow Meow is Ready

Meow Meow's ears twitched, and it opened its eyes to look at Lin Chong, asking a question.

[Will evolving allow me to defeat that wolf?]

Lin Chong thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I can only say there's a chance."

"It clearly didn't go all out in today's match, but in my judgment, it was at least at a professional level."

Meow Meow's level has now increased to 20, and it has a stronger skill pool, making it an absolute top performer among amateur-level players.

If it evolves into a meow, its strength will most likely reach a professional level, but the difference in quality caused by the form suppression will still exist.

Meow Meow got up and accepted Lin Chong's suggestion.

After evolving, at least I won't get killed by its single swipe.

So now there's only one question left... how to evolve?

Lin Chong and Miao Miao stared at each other, thinking that if they knew the method, the evolution wouldn't have been delayed until now.

Lin Chong scratched his head: "Anyway, let's look it up online first."

He opened a search engine and entered the keywords "how to evolve Pokémon".

While the page was loading, Er Mao's head popped up beside it.

The first pinned post is the title of a paper by a Pokémon researcher: Pokémon evolution cannot be interfered with by humans.

Lin Chong pointed to the line of text and said, feigning excitement, "It says that Pokémon evolution can be artificially intervened!"

"Come on, let's continue."

The illiterate Er Mao followed Lin Chong's finger downwards.

One hour later—

Lin Chong continued to diligently flip through each paper and report on "evolution," while Er Mao, who couldn't understand the text, was already lying in the corner of the room, each playing their own game.

Another hour passed, and Lin Chong was still watching.

Another hour passed, and Meow Meow couldn't hold back any longer. It came over and asked, "Have you found a way?"

Lin Chong turned off his phone, rubbing his sore eyes: "There's probably some progress."

"In short, evolution has little to do with the trainer; the key is the Pokémon's own anticipation of evolution..."

Meow Meow asked in confusion: [What do you mean?]

Lin Chong didn't really understand it either; it was a pattern summarized from several academic papers.

He explained in his own words: "It roughly means that when you expect and desire to evolve, you can evolve."

Meow Meow stared with dead fish eyes: [To avoid dying tomorrow, I really want to evolve right now.]

"It's different," Lin Chong shook his head and said, "It has to be your subconscious expectation and desire, such as the feeling that you are about to die, and you can live as long as you evolve immediately. It's that kind of expectation."

One paper mentioned an experiment that involved gathering one hundred exceptionally talented and properly trained Pokémon together and simulating a real life-or-death crisis to promote their evolution.

However, the experimental results showed that only two of the hundred Pokémon completed their evolution, while the rest of the Pokémon all suffered from stress syndrome to varying degrees.

Because the experiment yielded minimal benefits and was inhumane, it was never conducted again.

The fact that "the evolution of Pokémon cannot be interfered with by humans" has become a consensus among the general public.

Lin Chong looked at Miao Miao, thought for a moment, and said, "At present, the most reliable way to evolve is to let you face the crisis in tomorrow's battle and try to promote your evolution."

Meow Meow exclaimed in surprise: "What if I really die?"

"No, the judges and referees on site have the ability to stop it in time..." Lin Chong frowned halfway through his sentence.

Although there won't be any real danger to her life, what if Meow Meow develops post-traumatic stress disorder after being frightened by the demon wolf, just like those experimental elves?

At its mildest, this symptom can cause a fear of fighting; at its worst, it can lead to mental instability!

Lin Chong quickly added, "I'll assess the situation. If things don't look good, we can just admit defeat. Jiang Qianxun wouldn't go for the kill."

Hearing him say that, Meow Meow was finally relieved.

After Lin Chong turned off the light, this carefree guy actually fell asleep immediately.

Lin Chong's lips twitched, and he said speechlessly, "Should I say you're lax, or just heartless..."

At that moment, the little black cat jumped over eagerly, saying, "Why don't you let me try? What if I can evolve?"

Lin Chong thought for a few seconds and shook his head, saying, "Your level may be high enough, but your attribute values ​​haven't reached the threshold yet. Even if you can evolve, it won't benefit you in your current state."

"Don't worry, it's just a friendly match, Meow Meow will be fine."

The little black cat gave a sweet "oh" and then lay down next to Lin Chong to sleep.

Seeing the two cats with completely different personalities lying on either side of him, Lin Chong couldn't help but smile.

He closed his eyes and fell asleep, his mind subconsciously recalling the egg he had entrusted to Old Man Zhou for safekeeping.

When that little guy hatches, will he also like to sleep in bed like Er Mao?

"I just hope it's not a huge one, otherwise I won't be able to fit it in the bed..."

Lin Chong murmured in his sleep, and the two cats beside him unconsciously moved closer to him in their sleep.

The moon outside my window is exceptionally beautiful tonight, no less so than the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival. Perhaps somewhere, a family is having a reunion.

June 6

The fifth day of the Elf College Entrance Examination.

Lin Chong brought his little black cat with him today because it wanted to watch the game closer to the arena, and Lin Chong agreed.

But at this point, his appearance became somewhat strange—a cat was perched on each of his two shoulders, making him look a bit like a street performer.

As he entered the stadium, the audience members he encountered greeted him warmly, and some even came up to ask for photos, giving Lin Chong a taste of what it's like to be an entertainer.

Upon entering the spectator area, the remaining eight candidates for today were already in place.

After revealing her hand, Jiang Qianxun simply stopped pretending and summoned the demon wolf to use as a cushion, leisurely scrolling through her phone. It's unclear whether she intended to intimidate the other examinees.

Upon seeing Lin Chong, her eyes lit up, and she waved, saying, "Come on, come on, it's almost our turn to go on stage."

Lin Chong ignored her and sat down next to Chen Xi without even glancing at Jiang Qianxun.

The cat perched on his right shoulder was also staring straight ahead, lest it be intimidated by the sight of the demon wolf...

At this moment, Chen Xi tugged at his sleeve and asked with concern.

"Have you thought of a way to deal with the demon wolves?"

Lin Chong shook his head honestly: "No, I think this is the end for me."

Chen Xi wasn't surprised and comforted him, "Making it to the quarterfinals with Meow Meow is already amazing!"

Lin Chong thanked him, remaining outwardly calm, but secretly he was already eavesdropping on the Demon Wolf's thoughts.

Chihiro said her opponent today is that kid, and his spirits are two cats?

Huh? The other person was actually observing him?

Lin Chong was quite surprised, but continued listening. At the same time, he caught a glimpse of the demon wolf yawning widely out of the corner of his eye.

What a boring opponent; they'll probably surrender as soon as the match begins.

Lin Chong glanced at it, reached out and scratched the cat's chin. The cat didn't rub its head against his finger, nor did it make a lazy purring sound.

This was an extremely rare and serious state that even Lin Chong had never seen before.

It was somewhat afraid, but it was ready to fight.
