Chapter 139

No matter which world, there are women pursuing beautiful things...

Su Hao, who was somewhat emotional, suddenly remembered that after Carbink mutates into Diancie, she could create pink diamonds, although he had to wait for Diancie to complete Mega Evolution to create sacred diamonds rich in special energy.

But she could also create pink diamonds that didn't contain any energy storage and were just good-looking during the Diancie period.

Diancie could casually create dozens of pink diamonds, and Su Hao could just lie flat. Could it be that he would be kept by Diancie?

"The tenth auction item is a whole jar of ointment carefully formulated by Mr. Wang Jingze, a high-level Breeder, which is sold in limited quantities on the market."

The auctioneer's voice, which had increased in volume slightly, woke Su Hao from his wild thoughts.

"This ointment is a patented product officially certified by the Shenzhou Alliance. It can increase the hardness and defense of Steel-type Pokémon's steel, and can also be applied to the Pokémon's own attack parts or weapons to increase the power of Steel-type physical moves. The effect is very significant."

"Starting price 300,000 Shenzhou coins, with a minimum bid increment of 1,000 Shenzhou coins!"

"301,000 Shenzhou coins."

"310,000 Shenzhou coins!"

"Steel-type moves, increasing physical strength..."

Su Hao lowered his head slightly and pondered.

He had envisioned the technique of making the effects of strengthening moves permanent on Pokémon.

But it's easy to think about, hard to do.

These moves often require time to release during battle, and then the bonus disappears after a certain period of time.

The Iron Defense move released by Carbink was the same.

Among the three Pokémon, Carbink had the strongest comprehension and talent; perhaps he could find the key point of this technique from Carbink's Iron Defense move.

The essence of Carbink and Diancie's bodies were mineral and diamond materials; the Steel-type energy contained in this ointment should be able to improve Carbink's mastery of the Iron Defense move.

Only by improving the mastery could there be a chance to turn the idea into reality.

"Decided, buy this jar of ointment!"

Su Hao made up his mind in his heart and prepared to raise the number plate beside him to join the bidding.

The current bidding price had already reached 700,000 Shenzhou coins. The excellent resistance of Steel-type Pokémon made many Trainers collect a Steel-type Pokémon more or less, so this ointment could be said to be a rare item in short supply on the market.

After reaching the high price of 700,000 Alliance coins, only seven or eight of the numerous bidders in front were still competing with each other.

Because this auction didn't list this ointment in the partial product catalog, otherwise Su Hao could guarantee that the Steel-type Pokémon specialist Trainers who heard the news would have crowded the entire venue.

"710,000 Shenzhou coins!" Raising the 1145 plate, Su Hao said.

"VIP 1145 bids 710,000 Shenzhou coins. Is there anyone else who wants to bid?" The host said with an elegant broadcast tone, fanning the flames.

"720,000 Shenzhou coins."

"750,000 Shenzhou coins."

This group of people is really persistent. In two sentences, they raised the price by 40,000 Shenzhou coins. Su Hao gritted his

teeth; it had already exceeded the original official selling price of 500,000 Shenzhou coins.

This is the drawback of the auction mode; goods that are out of stock or scarce can often sell for double the price.

Even if the number of bidders was small, this bidding was clearly much more intense. Su Hao had just reported the figure of 800,000 Shenzhou coins, and another person immediately reported 810,000 Shenzhou coins to top it.

After a short while, the price was about to soar to 900,000 Shenzhou coins, and four or five more people withdrew from the competition. Now only Su Hao and two other middle-aged men in suits were bidding.

"900,000 Shenzhou coins."

As the price officially reached 900,000 Shenzhou coins, only Su Hao and the gentleman in the suit in the special VIP seat in front were competing. It was likely that this person was a Steel-type specialist Trainer, or his junior was.

It wouldn't be worth it to keep entangled like this. Su Hao closed his eyes and slowly spat out his bottom-line price.

"1 million Shenzhou coins..."

The middle-aged man didn't bid again.

"VIP 1145 bids 1 million Shenzhou coins once, 1 million Shenzhou coins twice, 1 million Shenzhou coins three times."

"Sold!"

With the sound of the small hammer hitting, Su Hao spent double the price to buy this Steel-type ointment.

It was just a double premium; after all, this ointment was basically unavailable on the market. Not a loss (spitting blood)...

Su Hao could only comfort himself this way. Sure enough, being a Trainer is very money-burning.

Before the Elite level, most Pokémon didn't need, or couldn't absorb, expensive resources, which would only force them to grow prematurely, so even geniuses with strong backgrounds wouldn't surpass contemporary Trainers too much at this stage.

Except for Su Hao, the exception.

After the Elite level, it's "eight immortals crossing the sea, each showing their own magical powers."

Resources plus the unique cultivation techniques and plans of families and clans could speed up their progress.

The reason why most universities in the Shenzhou Alliance set the graduation condition as one or more intermediate badges is that in the university battle major, as long as you perform normally and your talent isn't bad, relying on the resources and rewards within the school, cultivating a Professional-level Pokémon within four years is no problem.

But anything more depends on talent and financial resources.

The Professional level is also the watershed that distinguishes amateur Trainers from those who take this as a lifelong profession.

Only by cultivating six Professional-level Pokémon, even if it's cultivating Professional-level Pokémon through specialization techniques, can one obtain the Alliance's certification and become a Professional-level Trainer.

Everything before this is classified as an amateur Trainer, and the number of Pokémon held cannot exceed six.

Only after becoming a Professional-level Trainer will the Alliance allow an increase in the number held, whether it's the Shenzhou Alliance or foreign alliances.

Lugia, the reason the picture looks like it's missing a piece is because this place doesn't support such large pictures. ===== CHAPTER 140 =====
