Chapter 249 Brother Aoki's Life Philosophy

"General, give me a serving of hot and spicy Lao Gan Ma grilled rice balls wrapped around red flamingo." Sitting at the bar next to Brother Aoki, Luo Mu ordered food to the chef of Bao Canteen.

When the general lowered his eyes and saw that the person who ordered the food was Luo Mu, his eyes lit up: "Isn't this the trainer who made Roentgen Cat Bilibili electrocute Aoki's Mook-Eagle? Is he here to challenge Aoki again today?"

Qing Mu, who was busy eating, said weakly: "What happened today is even worse than the challenge."

The general was startled, looked around at the two of them, and said with an awkward smile: "Hahaha, then you guys chat, I won't get involved."

After saying that, the general turned around and started preparing the food. He had a feeling that the two would talk about something very serious, so it was better not to listen.

Putting down the spoon, Qingmu looked at Luo Mu calmly: "You are here."

Luo Mu nodded: "I'm coming."

Aoki added: "You shouldn't have come."

".Why?"

"Because once you come, it means that I will start working overtime without overtime pay."

"."

Luo Mu had an indescribable expression on his face. Ye Ci shouldn't be so evil. He paid the reward very quickly when he entrusted him with a task.

As a mature member of society, Qingmu, who can judge a person's thoughts based on his expression, saw what Luo Mu was thinking at a glance and said calmly, "This is the helplessness of being a person in society. Sometimes you have to satisfy your boss's willfulness. Since the president didn't mention it, you can only consciously not ask for overtime pay."

"Life is always full of compromises and helplessness. Only in this way can you settle down in the workplace. I understand that a child like you who has no pressure in life doesn't understand these things."

Luo Mu: “.”

No, as someone who has once enjoyed the blessing of working 996, I can understand your thoughts, Brother Aoki. We are the people in the world who can understand each other the most.

Besides, the people who put you into this unexpected overtime were probably me and Papa.

Luo Mu, who had completely jumped out of the 996 vicious circle, felt guilty, but he didn't know how to comfort Brother Aoki, so he could only remain silent for the time being.

Aoki also ate silently, making chewing... swallowing sounds from time to time.

After the grilled rice balls ordered by Luo Mu were ready, Aoki finished eating, wiped his mouth, cleaned up the table, picked up his briefcase, took out a map, and went to work.

"Luo Mu, just keep eating. In order to ensure efficient search and rescue, let me explain our plan after entering the Padiya Pit."

Luo Mu munched on a roasted rice ball, his cheeks moving constantly, and he just nodded in response.

Qing Mu said slowly: "The huge pit in the middle of Padiya is called the Padiya Pit, but it now has an official name - Area Zero. Area Zero has three layers, upper, middle and lower. The deeper you go, the more dangerous it is."

"During the escort mission several months ago, I escorted the two doctors and the accompanying researchers to the third observatory. Now they should be building the fourth observatory in the lower area below the third observatory."

"The environment of Area Zero is intricate and complex, much more complex than Jinhui Town, but fortunately, thanks to the active efforts of past explorers, there is now a slightly safer and simpler route down there." Aoki used the pen in his hand to draw a route on the map of Area Zero.

"After entering the upper level of Area Zero from the Area Zero Gate, we followed this line to the First Observation Station, and then followed the path left by our predecessors all the way down to the Third Observation Station."

"The journey will be long. You must be prepared for a protracted war. Have you purchased enough supplies? No, it seems I am worrying too much."

Aoki's gaze fell on the old backpack filled with things at Luo Mu's feet. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. It seemed that Luo Mu was well prepared.

Luo Mu, who had been listening carefully to Aoki's speech, had also finished his delicious grilled rice balls. He picked up his backpack and showed Aoki the medicine, dry food and other supplies. He used to travel in the wild frequently, so he had already made all the necessary preparations.

"In that case, wait for me to prepare some things and then we'll set off."

Aoki sighed, raised his head, and stared at the soft lights of Bao Canteen, as if lamenting his peaceful life that was about to disappear.

I finally managed to finish my overtime work before 10pm recently.

Aoki's preparations were full of efficiency. He was not the kind of person who would slack off. No matter what he did, he would do it well. According to Aoki, this was the necessary self-cultivation for people in society.

Aoki usually walks to work, and when he occasionally goes on a long journey, he rides his tropical dragons - the M'K Eagle and the Warrior Eagle, but it is a bit difficult for them to carry an adult.

As for how Kukui once crossed the sea on the Warrior Eagle, Luo Mu could only say that the Super Alola could hang on the Warrior Eagle's claws with one hand, but Aoki, who was exhausted by overtime and so weak that he looked like he could die at any time, could not do such a thing.

Looking at the steep cliff not far away, Luo Mu, who was riding on Dragonite, turned his head to look at Qingmu who was riding on Tropical Dragon next to him, and asked curiously: "Do we have to go to the gate of Area Zero? Wouldn't it be more efficient to let Dragonite and Tropical Dragon increase their flying altitude and enter Area Zero from above in one go?"

Aoki shook his head. "That won't work. The fog covering the top of the giant pit seems to have some kind of disorienting effect on people and Pokémon. Few flying Pokémon can break through there, and most of them lose their way and become exhausted, falling into the giant pit and being smashed to pieces."

"Only the Zero Zone Gate is at a height that allows safe entry into Zone Zero. Going there is the safest decision."

Luo Mu nodded thoughtfully. This was knowledge that did not appear in the game. If he was a little more arrogant, he might have rushed in directly from a high altitude and then encountered a crisis.

The accumulated experience of our predecessors is really useful.

Brother Aoki is indeed very familiar with the Padia Pit and Area Zero. He is not only the general gym leader of Jinhui Town, but also one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Flying Type of the Padia Alliance.

Luo Mu thought that one of the reasons why Ye Ci arranged Qingmu to be the gym master in Jinhui Town was probably to keep an eye on the environment inside the Padia Pit at all times and let reliable combat forces guard the place.

Under Aoki's guidance, the two soon arrived near the gate of Zone Zero. Aoki did not take back the Dragonite, but signaled Luo Mu and Dragonite to follow him.

After passing through a slightly dim tunnel, the two came to a building that had an old feel.

The building was built on the hillside, with alliance staff coming in and out from time to time. Their expressions were all tense, and it seemed that they were affected by the disconnection below.

Aoki walked past these staff members with ease and took Luo Mu into the brightly lit building. From time to time, staff members would greet Aoki, and Aoki would respond politely.

This also reflects the calmness and emotional intelligence of people in society.
