She had been holding her breath for this gorgeous competition, but after the sudden disaster, all her anger was gone. The fact that Xiaoyao was still able to stand was a sign of having been tempered.
At this time, on the bottom floor of the Silver Building, Gongsun Yan and Xiao Zhi were rummaging through the warehouse, seemingly looking for something.
"Xiaozhi, did you find it there?"
The warehouse was so big that Gongsun Yan had to shout loudly so that Xiaozhi could hear what he said.
"No, why are there so many things here!" Xiaozhi also responded loudly to Gongsun Yan, his words full of despair and exhaustion.
Xiao Zhi looked at the endless warehouse, then calculated the speed of him and Gongsun Yan. Even with his physical fitness, he felt a little weak in the legs.
So why were Gongsun Yan and Xiaozhi, who were supposed to be visiting the Master Ball production process, in this dark warehouse?
In fact, it is very simple. Although Silver said that he would give them both Master Balls and also contracted the materials, these materials were all in the warehouse and the two of them needed to find them themselves.
They have taken care of everything, they just ask you to find the things and move them up. How could Gongsun Yan and Xiao Zhi refuse such a small request?
So, the two of them took the elevator to the underground warehouse, and in order to ensure that the materials for making the Master Ball would not leak out, Silver emptied the warehouse and gave the warehouse to the two of them.
This warehouse under the Silver Building was built according to the highest standards and theoretically could even prevent meteorites from falling, so it is also an emergency shelter for Golden City.
The design is such that it can accommodate a person from Jinhuang City, which shows how spacious it is.
Chapter 141: Careful Silver
"That old fellow Silver must be trying to trick us!"
After searching for a while, Gongsun Yan and Xiao Zhi felt sore in their backs and found a place to rest, while they kept criticizing Silver.
At the same time, Gongsun Yan took out two bottles of iced drinks from his backpack, threw one to Xiaozhi, opened one for himself, and gulped down half of it.
"Well, that's not the case. They've taken such good care of us, they just let us find the raw materials ourselves."
Xiaozhi took the drink that Gongsun Yan threw to him very easily. He was not surprised at all why Gongsun Yan's backpack could hold so much. After taking two sips, he began to defend Silver. It was that tone... Those who understand will understand.
However, Xiaozhi didn't care, but Silver noticed it. He was still sitting in his office, watching Gongsun Yan and Xiaozhi on the surveillance camera, stroking his chin constantly.
That's right, Silver has been keeping an eye on the two of them, not for any other reason, but simply for insurance purposes. One should not have the intention to harm others, but one must always be on guard against others. The warehouse is an important place, so it cannot be too much of a concern.
"Could this be a new product developed by Dewen Company? Gongsun Che is indeed a talented person. The most valuable and regrettable thing is that he values relationships too much. Otherwise, with him around, Silver Company would have no worries about being able to expand across the world!"
Silver sat in his seat in a daze, and began to imagine the grand scene where Gongsun Che stayed at Silver Company and all the inventions of Devon Company in recent years were sold by Silver Company.
But fantasy is just fantasy after all, and dreams must end sooner or later. Silver is also a famous first-generation rich man, so his psychological quality must be low, and he recovered quickly.
"Humph! Those guys who just eat for free should all be kicked out!"
After coming out of his fantasy, Silver thought of the group of "do-nothing" researchers in his company, and his face suddenly darkened.
Of course, this was just Silver's angry words. Those researchers were not useless. They had made many inventions and improvements over the years, which brought a lot of income to Silver Company.
But compared to Gongsun Che...I can only say, Julong Julong, you are two years behind, forever and ever~.
"Pass it on. I want to see substantial results within a month, otherwise they won't get paid this month."
Silver picked up the phone on the desk, called the research department with a sullen face, and ordered them to produce results as soon as possible.
The chief researcher of Silver Company was completely dumbfounded. Scientific research is not something that can be done overnight. Just like mathematics, it cannot be done just by force. This is just a waste of time.
But the other party didn't dare to say anything. Silver Company was completely a one-man show by Silver, unlike Devon Company. If President Zifuchi did something, Gongsun Che would even dare to go to his door and curse at him. They were simply two extremes.
However, because Silver was very good to these researchers and treated them even better than Dewen Company, and they all respected each other very much and were willing to risk their lives to produce something to hand in.
After the call, Silver sighed. It's not like he doesn't know about scientific research, but he really has no choice now. The sense of crisis is too great.
You should know that although the space backpacks on the market can hold a lot of things, they are limited and weight cannot be avoided.
But when Gongsun Yan was in the office before, he casually put his backpack on the ground, and it was Silver who picked it up and handed it to him. At that time, he clearly felt that the backpack was a little heavy, but definitely not much.
Based on the images that Silver had just seen, he had an amazing guess, that is, Devon's technology had greatly improved, and they had improved the technology of the space backpack.
This made Silver feel very uneasy. The space backpack was Silver's major product. Although each company had its own space backpack, Silver had the first-mover advantage, so when the effects were similar, people still tended to buy theirs.
But if Dewen Company has a better product, it’s hard to say, so Silver is so anxious.
But Silver overlooked one thing, that is, he could have told Gongsun Yan directly about this matter, and Gongsun Yan would naturally dissuade him from this idea.
The reason is very simple. Gongsun Yan has a golden finger on him. His backpack is not a new invention of Dewen Company. It is simply his gaming backpack.
I'm sure everyone is familiar with gaming backpacks. Items can be stacked, and the weight is not important. More importantly, it can be carried around, and others cannot open it. So Gongsun Yan put most of his precious things and some heavier items in it for convenience.
So it can be said that the researchers of Silver Company really suffered an unprovoked disaster, but they deserved it, as there is never too little inventions and creations.
Let’s put aside the suspicious Silver for now and shift our attention to the warehouse, where Gongsun Yan and Xiaozhi are complaining about Silver’s pettiness.
"......In summary, this warehouse must have a catalog, and there must be regulations on where things are placed. But Silver didn't give us this information, and let us look for it like this. Isn't this just torturing us?"
Gongsun Yan bluntly stated Silver's inner thoughts, which made Silver, who was peeping and eavesdropping on the top floor, feel a little embarrassed. His little thoughts were actually told by a junior.
As a behemoth spanning the Kanto and Johto regions, Silver Company naturally has a set of rules and regulations for the placement of goods. There are strict requirements on where things should be placed, and random placement is not allowed.
Without this awareness, how could Silver Company have grown to such a large scale? Otherwise, any seller who came to pick up the goods would have to go to the warehouse to look for them one by one, which would not only waste time but also definitely not give a good impression to others.
Gongsun Yan seemed to be looking for materials to make the Master Ball just now, but that was secondary. He was mainly looking for any missing products in the catalog. Once he found this, the next things would be easy.
But the people at Silver Company were so efficient, and Gongsun Yan had looked in quite a few places, but nothing was missed, so he could only sit here and curse.
Chapter 142: Great Reputation
"Speaking of which, Xiao Yan, why don't we use our super powers or my wave power to cheat? Old Master Silver never said that we are not allowed to use special abilities."
Xiaozhi looked at the endless warehouse, then looked at the less than one-fifth part that he and Gongsun Yan had searched, and couldn't help but make a suggestion.
"Haha, didn't you see the mysterious smile on old man Silver's face before he left? Could it be that he didn't expect this? But we can try the power of wave guidance. Maybe Silver didn't expect this."
Gongsun Yan laughed at himself at first, but he quickly reacted. It seems that the power of wave is not common in the alliance, and there is no super power like the ability to take objects from a distance. Silver Company may not necessarily do anything to deal with the power of wave.
There is no need to talk about super powers. This is Golden City. The most famous thing is not Silver Company, but Golden Gym. This is the reputation that Nancy has earned.
According to some popular legends, in her early years, when Nancy had not yet recovered to normal, whenever she was in a bad mood, she would often go out late at night and wander around the Golden City. She had even wandered around the warehouse of the Silver Building more than once.
Of course, neither Silver Company nor the Golden Gym acknowledged the incident on the surface, and they firmly denied the existence of this incident.
However, judging from the fact that the Silver Building constantly improved its anti-theft measures, which were updated almost every Monday until a year ago, this rumor is probably true...
In fact, the anti-theft measures of the Silver Building are already very advanced. Naturally, they are fully prepared for superpowers, a special ability that is absolutely invincible in theft.
When the Silver Building was being built, a lot of hair and jackets shed by evil-type Pokémon were added to the building materials, which can greatly affect the visibility of psychic-type Pokémon.
In extremely important places such as the warehouse and the president's office, a lot of explosive materials were added. Before acceptance, many evil-type Pokémon were deliberately allowed to live in them for a period of time, allowing the evil energy in their bodies to seep into the surrounding walls to isolate the perception of super powers to the greatest extent.
Of course, a large amount of residual evil energy will cause some bad conditions to the human body, so you must not stay in it for a long time. The same goes for ghost energy, which is a relatively cold energy.
But Silver doesn't care much about these. Although he is a kind old president now, he was able to compete with Professor Oak in his time.
Besides, no matter what kind of energy you come into contact with for a long time, it will cause consequences of one kind or another. It’s just that the harm caused by evil and ghost energies is more obscure and more serious.
After all, if fire energy enters the body, it will take a while for it to be unbearable, and it is unlikely to cause any serious consequences. Unlike evil energy and ghost energy, once they enter the bones, you can only feel a chill.
Not to mention the warehouse, Silver Company emphasizes the process of inspecting the goods in advance and then putting them into storage. No one will stay in it for too long, so naturally there will not be any serious impact.
Normally, with such precautions, even if a king-level Psychic-type Pokémon wanted to use Psychic powers to enter the Silver Building, it would not be stopped, but it would definitely be detected and the alarm would be sounded.
But Nini is not ordinary. First, she is not a Pokémon. Second, her superpowers are even stranger and more powerful than Pokémon. Even if there is an evil Pokémon in front of her, she can probably turn the opponent into a doll. It's so cruel.
Therefore, the protective measures of the Silver Building were completely useless in front of her. It was just like her own backyard. She could come and go as she pleased. She had never thought about alarms.
The people in the Silver Building were able to discover it because they checked the surveillance footage the next day. After all, Naz had no intention of concealing herself and appeared in front of the surveillance footage in a swaggering manner.
For this reason, Silver personally ordered to update the protective measures, but not to cause trouble for Naz.
The reason is very simple. Naz still has some legal concept and did not touch anything. But this is based on the premise that no one provokes her. If someone is looking for trouble, then it would be hard to say.
But there are always people who don't believe it. I don't know if they really care about this behavior or just want to curry favor with Silver, but they actually took the initiative to go to the Golden Gym to argue with Nancy.
As for the final result, the man was turned into a doll, hung on the door of the gym for a day and a night, and was finally left half-dead at the door of the hospital.
For a time, Naz's notoriety became even worse than before, almost to the point of making a child stop crying, although it is completely invisible now.
Silver had no comment on this. The man deserved it. If he wanted to show his face, he had to bear all the consequences. We are all adults, so don't be so childish.
However, Nini's reputation for evil is not without benefits. You know, places with strong dark energy will attract both ghost and dark Pokémon.
Not to mention that the warehouse of the Silver Building is built in a basement, a place that never sees sunlight, which makes it even more popular with Pokémon. Within three months, Pokémon will settle down there.
As mentioned before, because of the existence of Nancy, even if Pokémon of these attributes dare to live outside Golden City, they dare not get close to Golden City at all.
Seeking good fortune and avoiding danger is an instinct engraved in the DNA of all living things. In the perception of those Pokémon, there is a "God of Devil" in Golden City. If they dare to approach, their lives will be in danger.
But it's really hard to say about the power of wave. After Xiaozhi's reminder, Gongsun Yan's eyes lit up and he hurriedly urged Xiaozhi to use the power of wave to investigate.
"Wait, let me open it."
During this period of travel, Xiaozhi was finally able to collect the power of waves, which was why he didn't think of this matter at the first time.
"Wait, what's going on? How can there be such a strong suppression ability?"
The two waited for a while, and Xiaozhi suddenly opened his eyes and looked around in surprise, as if he had noticed something.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Gongsun Yan asked worriedly.
"My wave power is being forcibly suppressed by something!"
Chapter 143 Another Person with Wave Power
"My wave power is being forcibly suppressed by something!"
After Xiaozhi said this, Gongsun Yan also sighed heavily. He didn't expect that the protection measures of Silver Building were so comprehensive. It was too unreasonable to even defend against the power of wave, which was almost passed down from one person to another.
"Haha, little guy, do you think I would not have thought of the wave force? Every failure makes you wiser. That guy used this to take away a large amount of things."
Silver sat in the office, looking at the confused Xiaozhi and the sighing Gongsun Yan, and smiled with great satisfaction.
It was not difficult to hear from his words that one of the previous winners possessed the power of wave guidance, and it was very likely that he made a bet with Silver and then took away a large batch of goods from the warehouse.
"That's right. As soon as I released my wave power, I felt as if the space around me solidified. My wave power was like being stuck in a quagmire. No matter how hard I tried, it could only spread to about two meters around me at most."
Xiaozhi spoke to Gongsun Yan very seriously, and Gongsun Yan's face became solemn after hearing this. You know, Xiaozhi's current wave power, when fully expanded, can even cover the entire Jinhuang City, but now it has been suppressed to this level.
"Puff! Cough cough cough! This kid, is he bragging? Two meters? What is he thinking about? Is he still asleep?"
While Gongsun Yan and Xiao Zhi were lost in thought, Silver spat out the tea in his mouth and even choked a little.
When designing the protective measures before, Silver specially invited Ya Xuan, the contemporary waveguide hero. According to Ya Xuan, his waveguide power was directly suppressed around his body and could not even leave his body.
As a result, when Xiaozhi arrived, not only could the wave force leave the body, it could also cover a two-meter area around the body. Isn't this a joke? Even if you, Xiaozhi, are... the descendant of someone, it wouldn't be so outrageous.
But the more Silver thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. There was no reason for Xiaozhi to tell lies. There was no point in such a lie that would be exposed at the slightest provocation.
"Could it be? I failed again this time?" Silver immediately fell into self-doubt.
Putting aside what Silver suspected there, Gongsun Yan and Xiaozhi had both recovered from their confusion. They were just curious that there was something that could block the power of the wave, and they were not worried about anything else.
Besides, being able to be two meters away from the body is not bad. At least it can save them a lot of time. This is a big project, and every bit of time saved counts.
After a short rest, Gongsun Yan and Xiaozhi each went to look for raw materials. The Master Ball was too troublesome to make, as the raw materials needed were so diverse, from plants to ores, nothing was left out.
Originally, the items in the warehouse were arranged according to major categories. With just a quick search, you can know what is placed in this area. If you don’t need it, you can just skip it.
It turned out that the raw materials needed for the Master Ball were too many and too complicated, and Gongsun Yan guessed that Silver had deliberately selected some unnecessary raw materials in order to mislead the two of them to prevent the Master Ball's formula from being leaked.
And the quantity and other things are probably also changed, otherwise Sakaki's Rocket Team would have started developing their own Master Ball a long time ago. After all, he is also a person who has suffered.
As for why Gongsun Yan and Xiaozhi didn't release their Pokémon to help find it, this is obviously a good question. To put it simply, the author forgot...
But obviously they can't say it so directly, obviously because the Pokémon they have now are all a bunch of rough guys, and it's easy for them to bump into things when they're searching, and it would be bad if they get hurt.
And because the basement was full of evil energy, when Gongsun Yan tried to release Gardevoir, Gardevoir rarely protested, so Gongsun Yan had to take her back.
However, even if Gardevoir is willing to help, it would be of no use. After all, she is a Pokémon that specializes in psychic powers. When her psychic powers are destroyed, her weak physical strength will hardly play any role.
"By the way, is it possible? I mean it's possible. Mr. Silver once encountered someone who could use the power of waveguide, and suffered a great loss. That's why he thought of targeting the power of waveguide."
In the midst of almost endless fatigue, Gongsun Yan and Xiaozhi had no choice but to find joy in suffering, and because there was no such thing as mp4, Gongsun Yan and Xiaozhi could only choose to chat. So, Xiaozhi took the initiative to find a topic.
"Indeed, but who is it? I remember reading in the information before that there is only one Wave Hero walking in the world, but he doesn't seem like a money-loving person. As for the other people who may possess the power of Wave, it's impossible."
Gongsun Yan also felt a little confused. When he "borrowed" his father's authority to check the information, he did not see any similar people appear.
However, Gongsun Yan was obviously blocked by knowledge and perception. The information he had received before was very accurate and comprehensive, so he did not even consider whether it was relevant information. Even his father's authority was not enough.
But Gongsun Yan was still quite pioneering, so he quickly guessed something. He couldn't help but glance at Xiaozhi several times. He guessed something in his heart, but he shouldn't believe it.
