Chapter 328: The Water Fleet’s Honey Trap

Ghost Pictures now also has some IPs, the most famous of which are Tom and Jerry and Sherlock Holmes.

Teng Shu took out the report and took a look at it. Although he had not paid much attention to the reports of Tom and Jerry during this period, he knew that Tom and Jerry were performing steadily and there was nothing unusual.

This is also due to the tone set by Teng Shu for Tom and Jerry. Teng Shu had very high requirements for Tom and Jerry. Although it is a very ordinary cartoon-like style, Teng Shu required that the soundtrack be composed by a specialized orchestra, and even some professional parts were required to meet realistic standards.

Therefore, nicknames like “Piano Master Tom” and “Billiard Player Tom” often appear, and with the addition of professional orchestral music, it can be said that Tom and Jerry are also thriving after Teng Shu became a hands-off manager.

“Tom and Jerry are performing quite well. It seems that these people in the company have some potential, and they have discovered a few good screenwriters?” Teng Shu looked at the report in his hand and nodded with satisfaction. Now the number of fans of Tom and Jerry on the entire Internet has exceeded 300 million.

There are also many derivative peripheral products, and it has even become a benchmark for programs broadcast in children’s areas in many places.

Every time it is played, besides the children, there are also some adults watching with great interest, which makes people want to laugh. It can only be said that excellent works have a very wide impact.

“But Tom and Jerry haven’t been filmed for such a long time, so…” Teng Shu rubbed his hands. Teng Shu planned to take a break during this period of time, which would also give the audience some time to reduce visual fatigue. This would also make it easier for Teng Shu to harvest fear value, right?
Although Teng Shu still has a work that is vying for an award, he is not in a hurry now. So after thinking about it, he decided to make a Tom and Jerry movie.

As for the type of selection.
Teng Shu thought of that classic work, the episode where Tom plays the piano and Jerry sleeps on the piano. This episode is very interesting, and combined with those classical music, it also has an artistic atmosphere.

So it can be regarded as a classic work among Tom and Jerry. Thinking of this, Teng Shu began to type the script in the office. However, the script was not very complicated. An episode of Tom and Jerry was usually not long, so Teng Shu only needed to write a general story.

When it was almost done, Teng Shu called Ada over.

Now Ada is successful and has become a high-income earner in the company. However, in Teng Shu’s opinion, Ada is still the same. He wears clothes with various Pokémon pictures printed on them and a Pikachu hat on his head. He is completely an avid Pokémon fan.

“Boss!” Ada looked at Teng Shu with some excitement. Looking at Ada’s look, Teng Shu also wanted to laugh. Ada, this guy, has become a famous director of Tom and Jerry, but the result is still like this. However, it is good this way. Only by keeping the original intention can such success be achieved. Now that Tom and Jerry have escaped from Teng Shu’s control, they have not fallen into the cliché. Ada has made great contributions here.

“Ada, sit down. I called you here to tell you about the new script of Tom and Jerry.” Teng Shu pointed to the chair in front of him. Ada sat down quickly. His fingers were twisted together, which looked a little strange, but Teng Shu didn’t care too much. Teng Shu knew that Ada had some mental problems.

After Teng Shu talked to Ada about his script, Ada’s eyes lit up. Then Ada pulled Teng Shu aside and talked for more than ten minutes, without repeating a single word. Teng Shu felt a headache until Fawu came in and dragged Ada away. Only then did Ada shut up.

Teng Shu couldn’t help rubbing his temples when he saw Ada’s excitement. Although Ada had some abilities in this area, his personality was a problem. Fortunately, Ada was not needed to appear in Tom and Jerry, otherwise it would be a strange thing if anyone would watch Tom and Jerry.

“Charity auction?” Teng Shu had nothing to do, so he opened the web and searched for it. Then he found that this charity auction had been held several times before, but not many people paid attention to it, and there were only a few news reports, so he couldn’t tell what was different.

Teng Shu turned off the computer out of boredom.

At night, Teng Shu also flew to Shuijing City to participate in this charity auction. Although it was an auction, it was more like a party. There were some exquisite pastries on the table, as well as red wine in high-heeled glasses, which made Teng Shu feel like he was going to discuss cooperation with others.

Teng Shu sat there bored and eating cakes. He didn’t have much interest in interpersonal communication, but others were very interested in him. Several people came to greet him one after another, but under Teng Shu’s polite etiquette, the other party also understood what he meant and left politely.

“Director Teng Shu? Can you please sign an autograph for me?” It was a girl’s voice. Teng Shu raised his head and took a look. It was a woman in an evening dress. She didn’t look very old. Her skin was a little dark, but she was still very beautiful. At this moment, she was looking at Teng Shu with starry eyes.

Teng Shu paused. This woman looked familiar.

But Teng Shu couldn’t remember where he had seen him. However, he was quite tolerant towards his fans, so he signed an artistic name.

The reason for signing with an artistic name is to avoid some troubles. In the past, when someone asked a big star for an autograph, the other party would write down his or her name normally. But afterwards, the other party took out an IOU, which caused great social controversy. So later, the autographs of stars to fans became more peculiar.

“Hello, Director Teng Shu, my name is Quan Mei, nice to meet you~” After getting the autograph, the girl spoke to Teng Shu in a soft voice and sat next to Teng Shu.

Teng Shu raised his eyebrows, Quan Mei?
泉？
Senior officer of the water fleet?
Teng Shu suddenly remembered.

A senior officer of the Water Fleet, a character who appears in both the animation and the game. However, in this world, who are the senior officers of the Water Fleet is still a question, and the Alliance has not announced it, so not many people know it.

Teng Shu immediately became interested. Wow! A senior officer from the water fleet suddenly came to him to get close to him. If Teng Shu said there was nothing fishy going on, he himself would not believe it.

“Hello, I’m Teng Shu.” Teng Shu said with a smile. He wanted to see what this guy was going to do, but he was not worried about his safety. Now Teng Shu had a special security team around him, not to mention that Groudon was still hanging on Teng Shu’s waist.

This guy Groudon sleeps every day, but if you encounter danger occasionally, you can still ask Groudon to come out and help.

Quan Mei was performing beside Teng Shu, who was watching with a smile without exposing her behavior. He had already seen that Quan Mei’s character this time was that of a Cinderella, and the kind of Cinderella who admired him very much. When she looked at him and spoke, her eyes seemed to be glowing.

Teng Shu wanted to laugh. If he didn’t know Quan Mei’s true identity, he might really be deceived. But now that Teng Shu knew it, no matter how much Quan Mei showed, it would be useless.

Teng Shu watched Izumi talking about his movie with great interest, and thought to himself that the Water Fleet had been suppressed by the Alliance since they teamed up with the Magma Team to take the Red and Blue Orbs last time, and now they have entered a period of low-key behavior. Teng Shu only had a red orb on him, which could promote Groudon’s original return, and was also something the Water Fleet coveted. It seemed that the Water Fleet was going for the red orb this time, after all, as long as they got the red orb, they could awaken the legendary beast Kyogre.

“This is really troublesome.” Teng Shu sighed in his heart. He was just a rich second-generation, but now he was often involved in the affairs of the mythical beasts. Which of the mythical beasts was simple? Mewtwo was still playing the game of “Look for me, and I’ll let you hehehe” with Team Rocket. Unexpectedly, the water fleet still didn’t give up and came up again.

And it seems that the beauty trap is used this time. Teng Shu glanced at Quan Mei. These guys are really creative. They actually let Quan Mei, a senior cadre, use the beauty trap. I don’t know what they are thinking.

Originally, Teng Shu thought that what happened in the Sinnoh region before had made the leaders of these dark organizations realize that the legendary beasts are uncontrollable and that the crisis they bring is huge.

The dark organizations in the early Pokémon world were rather strange, and some of their purposes were simple, such as Team Magma. The reason they were causing trouble was that they felt there was too little land and housing prices were too high, so as long as they let Groudon come out and create more land, they would be able to bring down housing prices.

They can also buy a house to live in.

The Water Fleet believes that the sea is the source of life, and Kyogre can expand the area of ​​the sea, so they want to awaken Kyogre.

I can only say that this idea is naive, but these guys actually did it, and even succeeded in the game. I have to say that each and every one of these villains is a talent.

Of course, after they succeeded, the uncontrollable nature of Groudon and Kyogre made them realize what a natural disaster is. When the players solved this crisis, the Water Fleet and the Magma Fleet were gone. The bosses all turned over a new leaf and gave up their organizations, and the others were no match for the Alliance.

“Dear guests, thank you very much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come here.” Soon, a man came to the center with a microphone, and behind him, several etiquette ladies followed, holding several plates covered with red cloth. It seemed that these were the items to be auctioned at this evening party.

With the items to be auctioned, Teng Shu’s expression became more serious. The acting skills of this guy Quan Mei were a little worrying. Teng Shu felt a stomachache just by looking at them. He might as well just look at these items to be auctioned.

Although the Zifuchi family is a wealthy family, there is nothing they can do. The old father Mu Jin and the eldest brother Daigo are not very interested in other things. What they are most interested in is collecting stones. Therefore, there is nothing else in the house but various kinds of stones. The Teng tree is almost turned into stone by looking at them.

Quan Mei was watching Teng Shu from the side, and when she found that Teng Shu didn’t pay any attention to her at all, she curled her lips helplessly. She felt that the boss was wasting his time, and to deal with Teng Shu, a rich kid, couldn’t she just attack him directly? Why make so much trouble? Now that the distance was so close, Quan Mei was sure that Teng Shu would faint before he could even scream.

But this was a task assigned by the boss after all, so Izumi still endured it.

“So the first item for today’s auction is an endurance trainer donated by Mr. Qianli, the gym leader of Chenghua City. It can improve the endurance of Pokémon.” The auction began, and Teng Shu watched with great interest. These auction items were quite interesting.

However, the general value is not very high, which is not surprising to Teng Shu. After all, it is an auction, so the valuable things must be in the middle and at the back.

Sure enough, as the fifth lot was brought up, Teng Shu became interested.

“The next item to be auctioned is the collection sponsored by Mr. Odile, which is a royal collection from the Dark Empire period, a royal pocket watch.” Sure enough, in the middle, the valuable things appeared.

Teng Shu looked at it with interest. The pocket watch looked very expensive, with all kinds of gems on it. Even the dial was carved from a whole gem. However, Teng Shu was not interested in these gems. He was interested in the origin of the pocket watch.

Dark Empire.

This was an empire before the Pokémon generation. It was said to have ruled the entire world for many years. It was a very brutal and bloody era, so later a group of people rose up and established the current Pokémon League.

It is a very interesting era and has great archaeological value.

So Teng Shu made an offer and finally bought the pocket watch for 30 million.

Teng Shu showed no interest in the next few collections until the last bell was brought up, and then he sat up straight.

“The last auction item was provided by a collector. It is a bell that was once enshrined on the top of the Bell Tower in Yuzu City. It survived the fire that engulfed the entire Bell Tower. There are also unknown bloodstains on it. According to the detection of professional institutions, these bloodstains do not belong to humans, nor to any Pokémon that has been known to have bloodstains detected.” The host said excitedly.

Teng Shu watched with interest. The bloodstain detection did not belong to any known Pokémon, which meant that the owner of the bloodstain was a Pokémon that had not yet been captured by humans, so the alliance’s database could not find any information.

Thunder God, Entei, Suicune? Or is it Phoenix King?

However, Teng Shu felt that the possibility of it being Ho-Oh was not very high. After all, although Ho-Oh was a photographer, he was also a mythical beast.

“Hmph!” At this moment, Teng Shu heard a cold snort. He turned his head and saw a girl with blonde hair. She was looking at him sideways. After noticing his gaze, she snorted coldly again, which made Teng Shu a little confused.

He didn’t remember meeting the girl.
