Chapter 196: Silver Wolf's Discovery
Back on the Stellaron Hunters' starship, Silver Wolf surveyed the interior. "Hmm… more ordinary than I imagined. I was expecting at least a super-sized game room."
"Forget it, as long as there's internet," she shrugged, her gaze suddenly settling on you. "Oh, by the way, what's your name?"
"Orion."
"Orion, huh…" she walked around you. "Hmm, he looks alright. But the most important thing is…" She held up the GBA. "He has good taste in games!"
"Is that your standard for judgment?" you couldn't help but laugh.
"Of course!" she said righteously. "You said you bought it at a flea market? Are there any other good things?"
"There is one more," you thought for a moment.
"What?!" Silver Wolf's eyes lit up. "Another GBA? Quick, let me see!"
"It's in my room, I'll give it to you later."
"No! I want to see it now!" she tugged on your sleeve.
Watching them, Firefly felt inexplicably annoyed. This newcomer, she's way too familiar, isn't she?
Silver Wolf's room was arranged next to yours. From the first day, game sound effects constantly drifted from next door. That night, a knock sounded. "Orion! Open up! Let's link up!"
You opened the door to see her holding her GBA, looking at you excitedly. You glanced at the time; it was already late.
"Games know no day or night!" she righteously squeezed into the room. "Hurry, I want to trade Pokémon!"
You both sat cross-legged on the floor, connecting the two GBAs.
"Wow, your Pokémon are such high levels!" Silver Wolf stared at the screen. "And so many rare ones!"
"Just good luck."
"Wait… what is this?!" she suddenly shrieked. "Shiny Dratini?! You actually have a shiny Pokémon?!"
"Oh, I just caught it casually," you glanced at the screen.
"Casually?!" she looked at you in shock. "Do you know how low the probability is? One in several thousand!"
"Is that so? I have others." You scrolled through your list. "Shiny Gyarados, Shiny Onix, Shiny Pikachu…"
Silver Wolf: "…" She looked at you as if you were a monster. "Are you a 'Luck King'?!" She hugged her game console, looking at you pitifully. "Can you… trade one to me?"
"No," you shook your head. "They were hard to catch."
"Please~" she tugged on your sleeve. "Just one! As long as you give me a shiny Pokémon, I'll do anything!"
You raised an eyebrow. "Anything?"
"Mm!" she nodded vigorously.
"Then…" you slowly leaned closer. Silver Wolf's face instantly turned red, and she instinctively stepped back, covering her chest. D-does he want to…
Just as she was lost in thought, you spoke, "Help me look up some people's information."
"…Eh?" she was stunned. "That's it?"
"Otherwise?" you looked at her strangely. "What did you think I wanted to do?"
"I thought you wanted to… No, n-nothing!" she waved her hands frantically, a strange sense of disappointment welling up in her heart.
"Silver Wolf, are you listening?" your voice interrupted her fantasy.
"Ah? I'm listening! Who do you want to look up?"
You paused for a moment, then slowly, word by word, spoke three names: "Feixiao. Neergul. And… Jiang Li."
Silver Wolf keenly sensed something. Your usual composure was gone. "Are these people very important to you?"
"Mm," you nodded.
Silver Wolf became serious for once. "Leave it to me! Forget just their current status, I can dig up their family tree for eighteen generations!"
"No need for that much detail. I just want to know… how they are doing now."
"Understood!" Silver Wolf immediately pulled out a small terminal, her fingers flying across the virtual keyboard. "Hmm… Feixiao… that name sounds a bit familiar…"
Soon, "Found them," her voice sounded, but her brows were slightly furrowed.
"What's wrong?" A bad premonition welled up in your heart.
She was silent for a moment, then handed you the electronic tablet. "You… see for yourself."
