They had interviewed all kinds of contestants before, and many had acted aloof and overbearing.
Pokémon Trainers as friendly and humble as Hu Bin were truly rare.
Many reporters silently made a note to themselves: once they got back, they would write a flawless article about Hu Bin for everyone to read!
After the interview ended, Hu Bin finally breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Sure enough, becoming famous was hard, and being a famous man was harder still!
After receiving his hefty prize money, Hu Bin took Ninetales and the others to a restaurant for a proper celebration!
Once they arrived, a server spotted the champion coming in for a meal and immediately called the owner!
The owner realized this was a wonderful publicity opportunity and hurried over to attend to Hu Bin personally!
The owner said gently, "Champion, please take a look and see what you'd like to eat. Everything you order today will be half price to celebrate your victory!"
The owner was a shrewd man. Hu Bin had just received an enormous sum in prize money, so offering him a free meal out of the blue would be presumptuous.
Hu Bin would definitely refuse. Better to just give him a fifty-percent discount and treat him well. That way, he could accept without losing face, and it would work out for me too.
Hu Bin's eyes lit up at the offer, and he said happily, "Thank you, boss! Then please bring me one of everything on the menu. We'll order more if that isn't enough!"
The owner's eyelids twitched. *Did champions these days really eat this much? He'd ordered the entire menu just like that! This was ridiculous! Thank goodness I hadn't offered to make it free, or I might end
