Trouble!

Su Yu frowned and stepped out of his room. A young woman in her twenties stood outside.

This young woman managed the Team Rocket on Su Yu's behalf. Her name seemed to be Lin He!

In any case, the core Energy Cube technology and Berry production remained in Su Yu's hands, so he was not afraid of anyone stealing them.

"Boss!" Lin He bowed respectfully.

"What happened?" Su Yu asked.

"It's East Sea Pharmacy again, and that Guang Biao!"

"Damn it!" Su Yu cursed under his breath.

East Sea Pharmacy was a pharmacy in East Sea City. They mainly sold low-end spiritual items, supplying century-old spiritual herbs to low-level Soul Masters.

However, ever since the Team Rocket had been established, the low-end market had been completely taken over by Energy Cubes.

This made East Sea Pharmacy constantly covet the Team Rocket's Energy Cube technology.

After one instance of malicious sabotage by East Sea Pharmacy, they learned that the Team Rocket possessed virtually no Soul Master strength.

This world still revered the strong.

Without high-level strength, it was difficult for the Team Rocket to protect its wealth.

After that, East Sea Pharmacy came to cause trouble from time to time, disrupting the Team Rocket's sales.

Su Yu hurried down to the first floor.

The first floor was a complete mess. Even the purchase windows bore cracks from Soul Tool attacks.

Damn it! Did they think I was a sick cat just because I hadn't shown my claws?

Su Yu thought to himself. The Team Rocket's current strength was indeed abysmal. Aside from the severely injured and dying Arceus, they had no other high-level combat power.

At that moment, Su Yu saw a figure appear before him.

The man stood over two meters tall, with an incredibly burly build, a bald head, a full beard, and fierce eyes.

This was Guang Biao, the man defeated by Wu Zhangkong in the original story.

Guang Biao must have reached some sort of agreement with East Sea Pharmacy. Before this, he had repeatedly come to cause trouble and disrupt the Team Rocket's sales.

As the publicly acknowledged strongest man in East Sea City, he was also the captain of East Sea City's Mecha Corps.

Therefore, Guang Biao had nothing to fear.

A smile appeared on Guang Biao's face as he looked at Su Yu. Earlier, he had been surprised that the Team Rocket's boss was actually a nine-year-old child.

But on second thought, a child was good!

Easy to control.

"Isn't this Boss Su? Long time no see!"

Su Yu said coldly, "Heh, weren't you the one who smashed up my shop a few days ago?"

"Ahem, that definitely wasn't me! Next time I see that person, I'll absolutely help Boss Su catch him!" Guang Biao smiled and continued.

"This time, I've come to discuss a major business deal with Boss Su!"

"What business?" Su Yu asked coldly.

Guang Biao continued to smile. "Hehehe, Energy Cubes! Look, you're only selling Energy Cubes in East Sea City right now."

"If you sold them throughout the Heavensea Alliance, other cities, and even Shrek City, I believe Energy Cubes would become the trend of the era!"

Su Yu frowned and said coldly, "And then?"

Guang Biao did not notice the chill in Su Yu's words at all and continued smiling.

"Boss Su only needs to share the manufacturing process for Energy Cubes. We split it seventy-thirty. I'll only take thirty percent, and Boss Su gets seventy percent. How about it?"

"What if I refuse?"

Guang Biao's expression changed, and his smile vanished.

"What did you say? Boss Su, don't fail to appreciate my kindness!"

"I said you're a fucking idiot!"

"You!" Guang Biao's aura changed, and the pressure of a Soul Emperor instantly descended upon Su Yu.

"Boss!" Seeing this, Soul Power surged from Lin He's body, and a pair of fluffy rabbit ears appeared atop her head.

Four Soul Rings descended around her as well.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple!

A Four-Ring Soul Ancestor!

Lin He was the Team Rocket's strongest combatant in practice, but she was still far too weak before Guang Biao, a Six-Ring Soul Emperor.

"Get lost!" Guang Biao shouted, and six Soul Rings appeared around his body, accompanied by a dragon's roar.

Su Yu let out a muffled grunt. His body swayed slightly, but he still forced himself not to kneel.

"You don't even have a single Soul King. Do you think you can protect it? You might as well hand it over to me!"

Guang Biao glared viciously at Su Yu, completely ignoring Lin He beside him.

Lin He still wanted to make a move, but Su Yu hurriedly stopped her. Then he smiled.

"Do you think I invented Energy Cubes? Or do you think there's no one backing me?"

Guang Biao's expression changed.

Indeed, how could something like Energy Cubes possibly have been invented by a little brat?

There had to be a more powerful faction behind him.

No, this little brat must be lying to me! Guang Biao thought.

He had caused so much trouble before, yet he had never seen anyone stop him.

But what if?

What if the Team Rocket really did have powerful backing?

Guang Biao's expression changed repeatedly. In the end, he snorted coldly. "Boss Su! Don't fail to appreciate my kindness. I'll give you a few more days to think it over."

With that, he strode away.

Su Yu let out a long breath. If Guang Biao had directly attacked, things would indeed have been troublesome. The main issue was that the Team Rocket did not yet have its own core members.

These outsiders would never help Su Yu.

The most urgent matter now was to recruit several powerful Soul Masters.

However, to make Soul Masters join, he needed something that could attract them, whether spiritual items or status.

For example, the status of Shrek Academy, the Spirit Pagoda, or the War God Hall.

Countless people would flock to such statuses, scrambling to join.

The current Team Rocket had not reached that level. It was merely a newly established organization in a remote city.

Neither its financial resources nor its strength were enough to attract people.

Su Yu thought of the Pokémon Soul Spirits he would release later. Without sufficient strength, he would very likely be unable to keep them.

"No, I need some top-tier combat power!"

Su Yu shook his head first. He would take things one step at a time.

"Boss, are you all right?" Lin He stepped forward and asked with concern.

"I'm fine!" Su Yu turned to look at Lin He.

Lin He could be promoted when the time came!

Right, Lin He could try out the Pokémon Soul Spirit project.

"Xiao He, what level are you now?"

Lin He froze. She was still somewhat unaccustomed to her boss calling her Xiao He.

Her boss was clearly so young. Shouldn't he call her Sister He instead?

"Xiao He?" Su Yu asked doubtfully.

What was this girl thinking?

Lin He came back to her senses and hurriedly said, "Boss, I'm level forty-nine!"

In her twenties and already level forty-nine!

Her talent was fairly decent, though not to the point of being monstrous.

"Boss, I'll work hard to raise my Soul Power level!" Lin He said seriously.

"What was your Martial Soul again?"

"Reporting, Boss, my Martial Soul is the Soft Bone Rabbit!"

Soft Bone Rabbit!

Su Yu considered it for a moment. Meanwhile, within his portable space, Arceus began creating something.

A few minutes later!

Lin He looked at her boss, who stood motionless in place.

"Boss?" Lin He asked timidly.

Su Yu came back to his senses, took an item from his portable space, and said,

"This is for you!"

"Boss! What is this?" Lin He caught the item and asked in confusion.

"This is a Mandatory Training Device! You can try using it. In a few days, write a five-hundred-word report on your experience using it!"

"Once you reach level fifty, I'll give you a surprise."
