Pokémon: The Journey Begins with a Cowherd

Chapter 280 The Unwavering Choice: Scorpio King!

Upon hearing these words filled with dependence, Qingyuan's hand, which was reaching for the contract, paused.

Then, his previously muddled eyes instantly cleared.

Seeing his hand reaching for the contract, Qingyuan quickly withdrew it and slapped himself in the face as well.

"Excuse me, Scorpio King has woken up!"

Looking at the surprised-looking Joyna in front of him, Qingyuan smiled at her.

Then he turned and walked towards the bedroom.

"What's wrong, Scorpio King? Are you hungry?"

"Would you like me to prepare breakfast for you?"

As Qingyuan walked towards the bedroom, he spoke gently to Scorpio King.

"Gore! (It's okay, I'm not hungry yet, I was just a little worried about you since you weren't here!)"

"Clang! (I almost forgot, this isn't in the wild!)"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Scorpion King scratched his head at Qingyuan and said with an embarrassed expression.

"You bastard!"

Hearing this, Qingyuan felt a warmth in his heart and poked Scorpion King's head with a smile.

"Hehe!"

Seeing this, Scorpion King just chuckled foolishly at Qingyuan.

Looking at the Scorpion King with his silly expression, Qingyuan silently made a decision in his heart.

What kind of bullshit League Coins are these? He wants to be a Pokémon Master.

He wants to stand on the throne of the world's strongest alongside the Scorpio King.

This amount of money couldn't stop him.

He made his decision and chose that stone slab on the ground.

He was determined to make the Scorpion King experience what it felt like to bring down a god!

"Wait a moment, I need to go out and talk to Sister Na about something!"

"I'll come back and prepare breakfast for you after I'm done talking!"

Having made up his mind, Qingyuan patted Scorpio King's head and said with a smile.

"Greetings! (Okay, go quickly, Qingyuan!)"

Upon hearing this, Scorpion King nodded to Qingyuan, his eyes clear, and called out obediently.

Looking into the Scorpion King's clear eyes, Qingyuan smiled and patted its head.

Then he turned and walked out of the bedroom.

"Sister Na Zi, I've made up my mind!"

"We want the stone slab!"

Looking at Joyna sitting in the chair, Qingyuan said to her with a firm expression.

Of course, while talking about it, Qingyuan forced himself not to look at the contract that would bring in hundreds of millions every year.

He feared that his hard-won resolve would waver again because of that money.

So let's take this opportunity to make a decision with Joyna as soon as possible.

"Think it over. If you sign this contract, you'll be able to receive hundreds of millions or even billions of Alliance Coins every year!"

"Just give up like that? Or should we think about it some more?"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Qiao Yina looked at him with surprise.

She was a little confused as to why Qingyuan had slapped her earlier.

But now she was even more curious about what had caused Qingyuan to change so drastically in the blink of an eye.

He was clearly eyeing that contract like crazy just a moment ago.

But after Qingyuan went into the bedroom, he made such a big change in the blink of an eye.

Is the bond between Qingyuan and Scorpion King really that strong?

"I've made up my mind, I want the stone slab, thank you, Sister Na!"

Upon hearing what Joynako said, Qingyuan spoke to her with a determined expression.

However, his face showed great determination.

But even now, Qingyuan doesn't dare to look at that 60% share of the contract again.

His heart was breaking.

In both lifetimes combined, over the past thirty years, he had never seen so much money.

He once had an opportunity to acquire tens or even hundreds of billions of dollars.

But he didn't cherish it.

If I had the chance to do it again...

He still chose to give Scorpion King another chance to break through to the second level of godhood.

Just kidding, do you even understand his bond with Scorpio King?

Do you even know what it means to raise a Scorpio King with a lot of hardship and care?

Are you kidding me? Can his bond with Scorpio King be measured by just a few billion or even tens of billions of dollars?

When he got back, he ate all of Scorpio King's sour lemon candies!

Waaaaah, I'm so angry just thinking about all that money gone! (T_T)

"Alright, since that's the case, let's sign the agreement!"

Hearing this, Joanna glanced at Qingyuan, whose expression was firm, and then nodded and said to him.

"Row!"

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan quickly nodded in agreement.

But when he saw the 60% agreement on the table, he quickly turned his head away.

"what happened?"

Looking at Qingyuan's actions, Qiao Yina asked with a puzzled expression.

"Don't let me see that, I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself!"

Upon hearing what Joyna said, Qingyuan covered his face and said.

"Ha ha!"

Upon hearing this, Joyna couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Stop laughing, isn't this just human nature?"

Upon hearing what Joynako said, Qingyuan covered his face and awkwardly addressed Joynako.

"You're right, that's just human nature!"

"I believe no fool would refuse such an opportunity!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Qiao Yina put the contract away and teased Qingyuan.

"I'm such a fool!"

"But for the Scorpio King, I'm willing to be this fool!"

Hearing what Joynako said, Qingyuan took his hand off his face and said to Joynako.

Recalling the scenes he had experienced with the Scorpion King, Qingyuan couldn't help but smile.

No matter what, he is determined to become the world's strongest with Scorpio King.

Even if you spend billions to buy several pseudo-legendary Pokémon, and then spend a few years nurturing them to eventually challenge for the world championship, what difference does it make?

Without Scorpio King as his absolute main force, what's the point of all this?

Anyway, his and Scorpion King's original goal was to become gym leaders.

It doesn't matter if I didn't become a world champion and rejected this opportunity.

As long as I'm with Scorpio King, that's all that matters!

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Qiao Yina paused in her movements.

Looking at the silly-looking boy in front of her, she felt a kind of aura slowly gathering around him.

She didn't know what it was, but she instinctively felt it was something good.

He could no longer utter the words he had intended to tease Qingyuan.

He simply smiled and said something to Qingyuan silently.

"Keep going! I believe in you, you will definitely achieve your goal!"

Upon hearing what Joyna said, Qingyuan's expression froze.

What's going on? Shouldn't his silly remarks be teased a bit?

How come I got praised?

Is this the right way to play Joey?

Was he going in the wrong direction when he was communicating with Joey before?

"Then I'll accept your good wishes!"

Despite his mind wandering, Qingyuan still gave Qiao Yina a bright smile and said...
