Chapter 26 Human Sentiments_1
"Old He?"
"Doctor He Haifei?"
At first, the name Old He sounded somewhat unfamiliar to Fang Yuan.
But quickly, he knew who it was.
In the Spirit Center, who else could be called Old He but the Elf Doctor who often treated Eevee's injuries?
After seeing him once before, Fang Yuan had run into the doctor quite a few times in the Spirit Center, and since they were from the same hometown, Doctor He looked upon Fang Yuan rather favorably.
When Fang Yuan asked him some questions about Eevee, Doctor He also tried his best to answer.
One could say that in the eyes of Fang Yuan and Eevee, he was a very kind and good person.
"Old He and I are friends," Yang Han said.
"After Nanwu Town issued the disaster alert, we got in contact with the local police and the Spirit Center right away. Old He heard about the location of the secret realm's appearance and immediately looked up your contact information. In the end, after realizing that you were indeed unreachable and combining that with your history of special training near the secret realm's appearance, he guessed that you might have encountered danger early on, so he immediately informed us."
"He was mainly worried that you might be courting death in the secret realm and repeatedly urged us to start the rescue and search carefully."
"Oh, right, the location where this secret realm appeared is quite remote, and there's virtually no one nearby, only you had the misfortune..."
Yang Han glanced at Fang Yuan and Eevee, who indeed did not seem like obedient children.
A new Trainer bringing along an Eevee born just a month ago, angering a strong Pidgeot, didn't sound cautious at all.
"Well... just bad luck," Fang Yuan said with a wry smile, while Eevee sighed deeply.
After flying for a while,
Charizard landed, and to Fang Yuan's surprise, not far away a lot of people were stationed, including the police.
"Over there is the safety zone; we need to go on foot and pass through a security check. I'll take you there," Yang Han said.
"Wait a minute!"
Fang Yuan's expression suddenly changed as if he remembered something. He said, "Brother Yang, may I have a word?"
He almost forgot; the Sand Scale Fruit Core was still in his pocket. Without hesitation, he quickly took it out and handed it over to a puzzled Yang Han.
"This is something Eevee and I stumbled upon by accident; it might be a Tree Fruit Core. It should be useful to you; please take it," Fang Yuan said.
"The Pidgeot might have targeted us because of this core, cough, maybe we accidentally stole its food."
Fang Yuan was still holding onto the Sand Scale Fruit Core Eevee had eaten. Now it wasn't that he didn't want to take it back for planting or selling, but the law stated that any resources found within a secret realm appearing within our national domain belong to the Trainer Association.
In other words, if Fang Yuan took it out, it wouldn't end up in his hands anyway.
Rather than having it discovered and being forced to hand it over later, it was better to give it to the lifesaver.
If Fang Yuan was not mistaken, this uncle who was able to enter the secret realm on a rescue mission was most likely a Professional Trainer.
As a core layer of the Trainer Association, Professional Trainers are already qualified to enjoy some benefits from the secret realms.
"Tree Fruit Core?"
Yang Han carefully observed the Tree Fruit Core in his hands.
Fresh...
He looked intently at Fang Yuan, such a clever kid.
"I haven't seen this kind of core before, but I'll accept it. Let the Trainer Association assess its value later," Yang Han said.
"Do Professional Trainers also have to turn over their findings from the secret realms to the Trainer Association?" Fang Yuan asked in surprise.
"There are many different situations, like with this rescue mission, where we Professional Trainers will share a portion of the earnings with the Trainer Association."
"Since you've given it to me, it's now my gain. Keeping it in your hands would indeed be of no use," said Yang Han.
"I'll handle this item. Once its value has been assessed, I'll let you know. If it's useful to me, consider it a favor I owe you."
"Hahaha... No worries, it should be me who owes Brother Yang a favor."
Fang Yuan scratched his head. They were just a few fruit cores; he estimated their value wouldn't be too high, especially since there was still an entire Sand Scale Fruit Tree in the Secret Location.
After all, nothing was more valuable than his and Eevee's lives.
Being able to save his own life, Fang Yuan was already very content.
Moreover, he might even get some kind of psychic damage consolation money, which would be really delightful.
The most important thing was that Eevee had already eaten the Sand Scale Fruit flesh... Given the circumstances at the time, no one could hold them accountable.
That was the biggest gain!
...
Next, Fang Yuan was escorted by Yang Han to a safe zone up ahead.
As expected, Fang Yuan was indeed searched under the pretext of a security check.
After finding nothing of value, he and Eevee were treated quite well.
An elderly man with thinning hair showed warm concern for Fang Yuan all along the way, asking if he was hurt. Accompanying them was also a psychologist, but seeing that neither Fang Yuan nor Eevee looked shocked, the psychologist just offered some simple words of comfort.
In fact, the optimal rescue time for a Super Miniature Secret Realm is within half an hour.
Yet Fang Yuan and Eevee, not only had they missed the best rescue time, but they also held on for six hours, which could be considered a miracle.
In the end, it was because the Secret Location appeared in such a remote place that by the time the Trainer Association detected it, no one had noticed the incident here.
When it was confirmed that Fang Yuan went missing for six hours, many people thought he had died and were preparing to mourn. But to everyone's surprise, a high school student had actually managed to survive so long in a Secret Location.
The happiest were the management of the Nanwu Town and Pingcheng Trainers Association.
No casualties was better than anything else.
Fang Yuan didn't know how he had left the Secret Location; it seemed the Trainer Association had a special method of traveling between two spaces, but this was beyond his reach.
After leaving the Secret Location, Fang Yuan met the Elf Doctor from the Spirit Center, Doctor He, who according to Yang Han's description, was the reason he had been rescued.
Fang Yuan and Eevee immediately expressed their gratitude.
"It's good that you're fine. Now, take some time to rest. The police have already contacted your parents. You and Eevee shouldn't train for the time being. This Black Forest is definitely out of bounds now. There are dimensional passages leading to the Secret Location everywhere. It will probably take a long time to fully eliminate the danger," Doctor He said.
"Ah..."
Fang Yuan and Eevee were both stunned at the same time. Without this dense forest, their special training would be difficult to carry out.
After all, Eevee hadn't fully mastered the Stump Training Method, and there was still plenty of room for improvement...
"Forget it."
It was an inevitable situation. Although Fang Yuan felt a sense of loss, he didn't insist.
It was a good opportunity to think about how to make Eevee deal with Ghost-type Pokemon.
"Bwoo..."
Upon hearing that Black Forest was sealed off, Eevee, who was perched on Fang Yuan's shoulder, felt greatly relieved and patted Fang Yuan's head with its paw pad, indicating that he should not be sad.
This was all fate.
