"I see you wandering around here, knowing nothing; everything you've bought is just trash."

"Follow me, and I guarantee I can teach you a few real tricks."

Speaking thus, Jia Yi narrowed his eyes.

Su Yu glanced at the props in the man's hand.

Although they held no particular use,

selling them off for cash would indeed prevent any loss on his part.

Moreover, he would even make a small profit of several thousand.

It was evident that this middle-aged man truly possessed some skill.

Seeing Su Yu's reaction, Jia Yi could not help but feel delighted.

It seemed a leek was about to take the bait.

He naturally possessed considerable knowledge.

From the very beginning, he had been observing Su Yu.

He noticed Su Yu's demeanor and the way he carried himself.

None of it suggested a person short of money.

Therefore, he figured that rather than letting Su Yu be swindled by those shopkeepers,

he might as well swindle the man himself.

For he intended to sell Su Yu a course.

As everyone knows, buying antiques does not necessarily yield profit.

But teaching others how to buy antiques is guaranteed to make money.

Although Jia Yi possessed some skill, he still occasionally suffered setbacks.

Furthermore, opportunities to encounter genuine treasures were rare.

Thus, compared to hunting for treasures himself, wasn't teaching others to do so both profitable and stable?

Therefore, Jia Yi resolved to trick Su Yu into purchasing his course.

Smiling with the air of an expert, he said, "Once you master my skills, you too will thrive here like a fish in water."

"Making money will be as easy as picking it up off the ground. How about it? My course isn't expensive; just one hundred thousand Liang Liang Yuan, and I guarantee lifetime instruction."

Jia Yi spoke in a beguiling tone.

However, upon hearing his words, Su Yu immediately understood his intention.

Thus, Su Yu shook his head.

"I have no interest in these antiques, so I'll pass."

With that, Su Yu walked straight away from the spot.

He had no intention of becoming someone else's ATM.

Although he had money, he was not about to give it away for free.

Watching Su Yu leave, Jia Yi narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Still a tough nut to crack."

Nevertheless, he would continue to observe Su Yu.

After all, it was not easy to encounter such a young person who appeared so foolish.

He would not let this opportunity slip away.

Recalling how Su Yu had paid the stall owner earlier without even blinking,

Jia Yi's heart burned with excitement.

This was a high-quality leek! Absolutely cannot be missed!

Su Yu was unaware of Jia Yi's thoughts.

After leaving, he headed straight for the hotel.

After resting for a night, Su Yu went directly to that stall again the next day.

At that moment, upon seeing Su Yu, the stall owner's

eyes lit up.

"Young brother, you're back! I've received some excellent goods today! You must take a look."

Speaking thus, the owner immediately displayed his new arrivals for the day.

Su Yu began examining them one by one slowly.

Just then,

Jia Yi, whom Su Yu had encountered yesterday, arrived directly at the spot as well.

In fact, he had been following Su Yu all along.

The moment he spotted Su Yu coming out, he had immediately tailied him.

Su Yu, of course, was also aware that this person was tracking him.

However, he paid it no mind.

After Jia Yi approached,

he spoke again.

"Young brother, are you really not considering it? Learn my techniques, and you'll never worry about food or drink again!"

Hearing this, Su Yu nearly burst out laughing.

If he truly had a method to guarantee profits without any risk, why wouldn't he introduce it to his own relatives?

In Su Yu's previous life, many people on the internet were frequently defrauded.

Wasn't it simply because of greed?

If someone could truly make money so easily,

he would surely tell his best friend first.

Although the logic was simple, few could truly comprehend it.

Otherwise, so many people wouldn't have been deceived online.

Su Yu shook his head, unwilling to continue paying him any attention.

Seeing this, Jia Yi decided to give Su Yu a demonstration.

He wanted to show him just how powerful his skills were.

Thus, he immediately began searching through the stalls.

Before long, his eyes lit up as he spotted a strange item.

It was a white stone, oddly shaped.

It appeared formless.

Yet, this white stone currently exuded an extreme antiquity.

It looked profoundly mysterious.

194: The Winged Claw Obtained!

He casually glanced at the item he had selected.

Then, leaning close to Su Yu's ear, he whispered,

"Young brother, this white stone looks like a fossil to me!"

"Judging from what I've read in books, this is very likely the fossil of a pterosaur."

Jia Yi's voice trembled slightly.

One could hear that he was far from calm.

Since he researched strange and peculiar antiques, he naturally consulted books frequently.

He vaguely remembered seeing a stone of this appearance in a book introducing fossils.

Hearing this, Su Yu felt quite curious.

Su Yu looked in the direction Jia Yi indicated.

He also noticed that white stone.

This world possessed fossils as well.

Many fossil Pokémon from the anime of Su Yu's previous life also exist in this world.

They can also be activated through fossils.

Pokémon like Kabutops and Aerodactyl, for instance, can only be obtained after acquiring their respective fossils.

Consequently, these Pokémon are extremely rare.

The price of each one is exceedingly high.

Whether for collection or for battle, they are excellent choices.

Therefore, every single fossil is worth a fortune.

When Su Yu noticed this white stone, he immediately used his Eye of Appraisal.

【Ice Dragon Dung: Excrement of an Ice Dragon; it has no use whatsoever.】

Upon seeing the information transmitted by the Eye of Appraisal, Su Yu was instantly speechless.

This was not some mysterious fossil at all; rather, it was the dung of an Ice Dragon!

This was just too...

After taking one more look, Su Yu lost all interest.

Seeing this, Jia Yi assumed Su Yu simply lacked discernment.

Snorting coldly in his heart, he turned to ask the shopkeeper.

"Shopkeeper, how much for this stone?"

Hearing this, the shopkeeper chuckled.

"I dug this stone out of a ruin; I'm not entirely sure what it is myself."

"If you want it, I'll sell it to you for 50, 00."

Upon hearing this, Jia Yi gritted his teeth.

Fifty thousand might be a drop in the bucket for trainers, but for an ordinary person like him, it was a significant sum.

He hesitated to take the gamble.

"Young brother, why don't you buy this stone? I guarantee you won't lose out!"

Jia Yi said to Su Yu.

Since he didn't have that much money himself, he might as well trick Su Yu, this big fool, into buying it.

That way, he wouldn't suffer any loss himself.

However, Su Yu shook his head.

"I have no interest in this item; if you want to buy it, go ahead yourself."

Saying this, Su Yu continued to examine the other items.

Under his careful scrutiny, Su Yu's eyes finally flashed with light.

He had spotted his target item.

【Reshiram's Wing Claw: A claw imbued with Reshiram's power, containing immense energy; it offers tremendous aid to Dragon-type Pokémon!】

Upon seeing this wing claw, Su Yu remained outwardly calm.

Pretending to browse, he picked up a few items in front before placing his hand on the wing claw.

The shopkeeper showed no reaction.

He thought Su Yu was just there to deliver more money to him.

Thus, he held no wariness toward Su Yu.

With a calm expression, Su Yu secured the item he wanted.

He also added a few useless props to make the act convincing.

Having made his selections, Su Yu nodded.

"Shopkeeper, I'll take these items today."

The shopkeeper took a look and said, "Young boss, that comes to 50, 00 in total."

Without hesitation, Su Yu paid the money immediately.

He then clenched the props handed over by the shopkeeper in his hand.

The shopkeeper chuckled inwardly.

This young man was truly his cash cow.

In just two days, he had brought him nearly 100, 00.

Meanwhile, Jia Yi, watching from the side, felt quite envious of Su Yu's wealth.

"Young brother, just listen to me, you absolutely won't lose! This stone is definitely a profitable buy!"

Jia Yi began to persuade him again.

But Su Yu remained unmoved, too bothered to even acknowledge him.

Asking him to spend 50, 00 on dung was simply a joke, wasn't it?

The boss chuckled inwardly.

This young man was truly his money tree.

In just two days, he had brought in nearly a hundred thousand Liang Liang Yuan for him.

Seeing this, Jia Yi standing nearby felt quite envious of Su Yu's wealth.

"Young brother, just listen to me; you absolutely won't lose! This stone is definitely a profit!"

Jia Yi began speaking again.

But Su Yu remained unmoved, too bothered to even pay him any attention.

Asking him to spend fifty thousand on feces was simply a joke, wasn't it?

Seeing Su Yu in this state.

Jia Yi secretly harbored resentment in his heart.

This young man clearly looked like a fool, having bought a huge pile of useless things.

Why then did he simply refuse to believe what he said?

Jia Yi had always regarded Su Yu as the type of brainless rich young master.

Yet such a person would not listen to him at all.

This truly made him somewhat furious.

"Forget it, I will just buy it myself."

Jia Yi thought to himself.

If this item truly was a fossil, then he would have made a huge profit!

Therefore, after some deliberation, Jia Yi still chose to pay and take the stone.

After receiving the rock handed over by the shopkeeper.

·· ··Seeking fresh flowers··· ·

Jia Yi placed it in his bag as if it were a treasure.

Subsequently, he let out a cold snort at Su Yu.

By now he had also realized that there was no hope of fleecing Su Yu.

However, as long as this fossil was confirmed to be genuine.

Then he would not need to care about those hundred thousand or so!

Thinking this in his heart.

Jia Yi hurriedly left this place, preparing to go to the Pokémon Center for appraisal.

He wanted to see whether this rock was truly the fossil he had read about in books.

Thus, Jia Yi departed from here with great speed.

When Su Yu returned to his hotel.

He immediately sought out a private room.

Subsequently, Su Yu took out Reshiram's wing claw.

The grayish-white bone bore a striking resemblance to Reshiram's pure white body.

Furthermore, almost no strange energy could be sensed emanating from it.

If Su Yu did not possess the Eye of Appraisal, he likely would not have discovered the peculiar nature of this wing claw.

It was no wonder that the shopkeeper, no matter how hard he tried, could not detect anything unusual about this wing claw.
