Trainers, prepare to fight!

Su Wen bent down and picked up Chilulian with one hand: "It is necessary to relax properly. Let's see what you like."

Chirulian was shocked at first, but as her head rested on Su Wen's shoulder, Chirulian actually relaxed a little.Although she still found visiting the market boring, at least she no longer felt like it was a waste of time.

......

The Fanba Comprehensive Market adopts an individual stall system. Everyone only needs to pay a certain stall fee, and everyone can enter and set up a stall, which is why the products sold in the market are so rich and colorful.

For example, Su Wen discovered several stones that the Human Alliance had long discovered existed but had no idea of ​​their use.

"That's an evolution stone. It's used to evolve certain Pokémon. For example, the Thunder Stone can evolve Pikachu into Raichu, and the Water Stone can evolve Bigtongue into Spiny Shell."

Su Wen suddenly realized.No wonder these stones have specific attribute energy locked in them. Once the stone is damaged, the energy will be lost immediately, and the magicians cannot use these stones at all. It turns out that they are used for the evolution of special Pokémon!

"You actually have this thing?!"

Su Wen picked up a gray-white gem in surprise.

Seeing someone pick up the gem, the stall owner quickly looked up and saw Su Wen who was wearing sunglasses, mask and cap. He looked like a dangerous person who was about to meet.

He didn't have time to think about it, and quickly gathered around to sell the gem: "This customer has good taste. This is a pure natural gem. Look at its edges and corners, its transparency, how can it grow like this in nature?" Very rare!”

Su Wen asked with interest: "How much?"

The stall owner became even more excited.Su Wen was not the first person to be interested in this gem, but several previous customers put down their things and left as soon as they heard the stall owner said that this gem was "purely natural". A gem? To fool a fool."

The conscience of heaven and earth, although this gem does look like it was polished manually, the stall owner can swear that it really condensed into what it looks like on its own!

"Guest, you also know that it is very rare for nature to condense such a perfect gem. It can completely become synonymous with nature's miraculous craftsmanship. So the price is a bit expensive."

As he spoke, the stall owner stretched out four fingers.

"four thousand?"

"No, it's forty thousand."

Su Wen put down the gem and turned away.

"Twenty thousand! Twenty thousand! Just think of it as a good relationship between us."

Seeing that Su Wen didn't pay attention at all, the stall owner became anxious: "Ten thousand! Ten thousand! It can't go any lower. Just think of me as your friend."

Su Wen didn't even look back.

"I thought you were going to be deceived. That gemstone has such sharp edges and corners, and every line is so smooth, how could it be formed naturally." Mingyi despised the stall owner's "fraudulent" behavior.

"He actually didn't lie. The gem was indeed formed naturally."

"Huh?" Mingyi obviously didn't expect this answer.

This time it was Su Wen's turn to educate Ming Yi: "We call that gem an ordinary gem."

"How can a naturally formed gem be so perfect?" Ming Yi began to doubt Su Wen's naming standards.

"This generally does not mean that this gem is very ordinary, but that this gem contains general energy. Correspondingly, there are super gems, flame gems, etc., with various attributes, all formed naturally, but generally There are especially many gems with attributes, and the total number of gems with all other attributes is less than half of that of ordinary gems.”

"How could it be..." Mingyi was very surprised, why are there so many general-type gems? Could it be that nature also has attribute preferences?

Su Wen shrugged: "I don't know. Some people speculate that only ordinary gems are formed in nature at the beginning, and gems with other attributes are slowly transformed from ordinary gems under the continuous influence of specific environmental factors. This theory is supported by many people. , but it has not been supported by conclusive experimental results yet.”

"Oh...then what is the use of this gem? Can it also evolve Pokémon?"

"I don't know if Pokémon can be evolved, but for me it is a one-time consumable. For example, if I am going to use Mental Power, I only need to hold a Super Gem before using it, then When I use the mental force, the super energy in the super gem will surge out to enhance the power of the mental force. But a gem can only be used once. After the energy in it pours out, the gem will Turn into powder.”

"I understand." Mingyi nodded in sudden realization.

"If it was a super gem or a steel gem, I would buy it if he quoted 2, but for ordinary gems... 4000 is a bit too expensive for me."

......

Su Wen and Ming Yi were still wandering around aimlessly. Because they thought it was too troublesome to put on and take off masks and sunglasses temporarily, they would not ask the price if they didn't see something they were very excited about.After shopping so far, the only thing that allowed the two of them to take the initiative to negotiate with the stall owner was the ordinary gem just now.

Chilulian was still nestled in Su Wen's arms, her head resting on Su Wen's shoulder, and she fell asleep unconsciously.

"Although I didn't find anything good, my initial goal was still achieved." Ming Yi leaned on Su Wen's other side and whispered.

"I hope her tense nerves can relax somewhat. Are we almost ready to go back?"

"it is good."

Just as Su Wen turned around, a stall caught his attention.

Its sign reads "For Sale: A Strange Book Connecting the Past and the Future."

This impressive sign attracted many customers, but in the end very few paid.The reason is that all the books on the stall are wrapped in plastic, and none of them can be read on the spot.

Someone asked if they could open a copy and take a look, but the stall owner refused.

"If you want to see it, just buy it. What else am I going to sell after you've seen it all?"

The stall owner's attitude was not exactly friendly.

The onlookers shook their heads and left. Only Su Wen stepped forward alone.

When I looked closer, I saw that the cover of the book did not have any pattern or portrait. It was only made up of two large color blocks, one red and one purple. The title of the book corresponded to the cover. It was called "The Book of Nobles and Purples".

Chapter 116 Whoring for free

Neither the title nor the cover fits the slogan of "a strange book that connects the past and the future."

The slogan seems shocking, but the book itself seems simple and unpretentious.

Could this be the legendary "Tao to Simplicity"?

Su Wen picked up a book, weighed it, and asked, "How can I sell this book?"

The stall owner was looking at the customers who were scattering away with reluctant and stubborn eyes. When he turned around, he realized that there was still one person who hadn't left yet.

He really wanted to enthusiastically and proactively go up to him and sell the Book of Nobles to this scapegoat, but when he thought of the "mysterious sales method" he had learned from others, he still held back, and just said in a neutral tone. : "1000 copies."

"1000?"

Su Wen understood. No wonder everyone just watched and didn't buy it. Those who wanted to buy it also asked to read the content of the book. It turned out that the price was a bit outrageous.

If you can buy the insights of a well-known trainer or breeder for 1000 yuan, then the value is almost equal; if you can buy the insights of a gym trainer, it is worth the money; if Being able to buy the feeling of one of the Four Heavenly Kings or even a champion is a stroke of luck, and the buyer is usually described as a son of destiny.

However, the content of such a book is unknown. There is a high probability that it is just some strange stories. If you buy it, it will be a piece of music. If you cross out a 0 at this price, you have to consider whether to buy it.

I don’t know who this stall owner gave him the courage to sell at such an expensive price.

Su Wen was not short of the money, but he was not ready to be taken advantage of. He put down the book and was about to leave.

As soon as he saw that the "victim" who finally came to the door was about to leave, the stall owner became anxious. He tried to keep calm on his face, but the hand holding Su Wen's sleeve was trembling slightly: "This guest, seeing as you are the first one today. If you buy a book from the bookstall, I can give you another book for free."

Su Wen felt funny in his heart. He was not in a hurry anyway, so he might as well stay and see what this courageous stall owner had up his sleeves: "What book?"

"It is this "The Biography of Master Su Wen" that has just been written after the painstaking efforts of several people, but has not been printed due to time constraints!"

Su Wen:? ? ?

The stall owner was still gushing: "You haven't heard of Master Su Wen, right? He is a very popular figure nowadays. He taught Butu to pull the flame fist and directly caused an earthquake in the entire academic circle. To be honest with you, He said, I came to Hezhong from the Patia area. So far, no other trainer in Patia has been able to cultivate the second cloth dog with fire fist. Therefore, everyone is very curious about this master. ah!"

Mingyi was holding back her laughter beside her.

"It's just that Master Su Wen doesn't like to appear in public. If his disciples hadn't revealed his existence in a street interview, the world wouldn't have known about such a master with incredible skills. And this "The Biography of Master Su Wen" is amazing. Yes, it is a compilation of Master Su Wen’s experiences collected from various places in Hezhong through interviews and investigations by several reporters and media. It contains various unknown secrets of Master Su Wen, which will definitely amaze you. Understand the true face of Master Su Wen. This book alone is worth 1000 yuan, now I will give it to you for free!"

Mingyi finally couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.Her passive hypnosis with a smile immediately became ineffective, and only then did people notice that there was a girl beside them who was smiling wildly.

"Isn't this Mingyi! Then the one next to her...could it be Master Su Wen?!"

At this point, Su Wen could only helplessly take off his sunglasses and mask, and said to the stunned stall owner: "I'm really curious. What secrets do I have that I don't know about myself?"

"I'm sorry!" The stall owner apologized quickly and quickly retracted his hand that grabbed Su Wen's sleeve and prepared to close the stall and run away.

Su Wen grabbed the stall owner's arm with his backhand: "I suspect that you are involved in false publicity and infringement of other people's portrait rights. Come on, come with me to the market management office."

After saying that, before the stall owner could react, Su Wen teleported away with him and Ming Yi, leaving the fans who were about to surround him in vain.

"Why did Master Su Wen suddenly disappear?!"

"It must have been teleportation. Didn't you see that the master was holding a Kirulian in his hand?"

"But I think that Chirulian seems to be sleeping?"

"Who is the master? Is it difficult to cultivate a Kirulian who can move directionally and instantly while sleeping?"

......

"Master Su Wen, thank you for your contribution to maintaining the comprehensive market order of Fanba."

Su Wen waved his hand: "It's just a little effort. What's the situation with that guy?"

Mentioning the stall owner, even the market manager twitched his lips: "He did come from Patiya. He had never done business before. He just wanted to sell something because he was short of money recently. The Book of Noblesse he sold was actually not What a rare thing, this book can be read by everyone in Patia Comprehensive College, it is not as magical as he advertised. He just put it up for sale because Hezhong and Patia did not have much communication."

"What about "The Biography of Master Su Wen"?"

"He said that he made up the book by himself, just to gain your popularity. He originally planned to wait for the book of Nobles to be sold to get some start-up funds before printing it. Don't worry, it includes the messed up book. We confiscated all the books on his stall, including "The Biography of Master Su Wen," and we were supposed to confiscate the illegal gains, but he didn't sell any of them."

Su Wen nodded: "Thank you very much. By the way, can you give me a copy of the Noble Book that you confiscated?"

The market supervisors readily agreed. These books were not banned anyway. They had to destroy them after they collected them. There was no harm in giving one copy away.

Su Wen happily bought a book that was supposed to sell for 1000 yuan for nothing.

During lunch time, Su Wen ate a simple croissant and read this strange book called "Connecting the Past and the Future" with Mingyi and the Pokémon.

Su Wen didn't know whether it really connected the past and the future, but this book was indeed quite strange.

"Is there really a Pokémon with a face like an electronic monitor?" Mingyi pointed to the picture called "Iron Tracks" and said, "I think the majestic teeth in the front are normal, maybe we don't know A subspecies of Dunjia, this iron track..."

Su Wen understood what Mingyi meant. This iron track didn't look like a Pokémon that normally existed in nature.

"I think it's outrageous too. It looks like someone's imaginary Pokémon." Su Wen said as he turned another page. The portrait of Pokémon on the page made Su Wen, Mingyi and Kirulian pause. Startled.

"Is this Elleduo...or Gardevoir?" Mingyi's voice was full of uncertainty.

"Iron Warrior..." Su Wen read out the name softly and turned to ask Chirulian, "Does your group of Lalulas have other evolutionary branches besides Eluredor and Gardevoir?"

Su Wen was answered with a blank look in Chirulian's eyes. She didn't care either.

This thing looks like a combination of Gardevoir and Alluredo, and it also gives people a strange mechanical metal texture.What kind of posture must be used to evolve into this?

Could it be...

Thinking of Su Wen's steel attributes, Chirulian's eyes kept drifting towards Su Wen.

At this moment, Su Wen's phone rang.

Chapter 117: The Disappearance of the Tunnel Pokémon

Su Wen took out his mobile phone, and an unfamiliar number was displayed on it.

His first reaction was: Could it be that some fanatic fan got his contact information from somewhere? !Now Su Wen is scared to be surrounded by fans at every turn.

But then I thought about it, apart from Ming Yi, the only people who knew his contact information were the league's top management and Rhodes. No matter who they were, they didn't seem like people who would leak his contact information, but it didn't seem like such a thing. Easy to say...

After hesitating for a moment, Su Wen frowned and answered the phone.

"Hello, Master Su Wen, I'm Boss Ju."

Su Wen's frown relaxed. It was someone from the alliance who called him. It seemed that his contact information was not leaked: "It's me."

"I heard that you two are still in Fanba City, so I want to ask you for a favor."

Mingyi, who was right next to Su Wen, also heard Boss Ju's words. She and Su Wen looked at each other and felt that the "busy" in Boss Ju's mouth was not something simple.

"whats the matter?"

"It's like this. There is a tunnel excavation and road construction project in Fanba City recently. There are some wild Pokémon such as screw gophers, three gophers, and rock dogs living in the tunnels being excavated. Sometimes we We will also ask them for help. But in recent days, all the wild Pokémon living in the tunnel have disappeared. We didn’t notice it at first, but after a whole day, none of them showed up, which is very abnormal.”

"Maybe they just decided to move? Or maybe they were just lazy for a day and didn't want to stand out." Su Wen asked.

"Generally speaking, these cave-dwelling Pokémon will not move easily, and even if they move, it is impossible to move them so cleanly that no one is left. In addition, this situation has lasted for three days. We suspect that there are human factors involved."

At the end, Boss Ju suddenly added: "By the way, just yesterday, someone witnessed someone suspected of being a newborn plasma group near the tunnel."

Hearing the plasma ball, Su Wen's expression immediately became serious: "Plasma ball...the wild Pokémon disappeared...could it be said?"

Boss Ju on the other end of the phone said: "It seems that Master Su Wen and I thought about the same thing. About a year ago, the Plasma Corps used special means to control wild Pokémon to attack Qibao City."

"Yes."

"This is also the reason why I came to ask the master. In order to prepare for the Plasma Group's attack, I need to be in Fanba City to conduct command and dispatch. I can't get away to investigate, so I want to ask the master to investigate on my behalf."

Su Wen had long wanted to see Plasma Group's ability to control wild Pokémon, so he agreed: "I agree to this, please send me the location."
