Chapter 130: What if I could pick up a bargain?

Returning the phone to the cleaning lady, Su Hao walked quickly to the nearby Alliance Fire and Rescue Team station.

Just as he intended to go inside and ask the rescue team to head back up the mountain to save the three missing people, he saw Luo Jie walking out with Dai Wu and Mu Xia.

"Huh?"

"Huh?"

Both groups stared at each other, looking back and forth, momentarily unsure of what to say.

"We just requested a rescue from inside; we thought you were still on the mountain..." Mu Xia broke the silence.

"I also thought you were still trapped on the mountain, so I came to ask for help..." Su Hao replied.

After a moment of silence, Luo Jie spoke up: "Since everyone is fine, let's go cancel the search and rescue request."

The four of them walked toward the Alliance Fire and Rescue station, both sides curious about the other's experience.

After some exchange, Su Hao learned that the three of them had just happened to run into a wild Ninetales clan that saved them.

"Looks like we were still quite lucky." Su Hao smiled.

"Yeah, it's fortunate you were able to find a cave just in time and even picked up an egg." Dai Wu returned the smile.

Dai Wu felt that both sides were very lucky this time; Su Hao was able to find a cave to hide from the snow, and they were able to encounter the Ninetales clan.

Plus, Su Hao had picked up a Pokémon egg out of thin air, though it was unclear what kind of Pokémon it was.

Mu Xia leaned in to observe it for a while, unable to tell what kind of Pokémon egg it was.

"Can't tell... looks like we'll have to wait for it to hatch."

After canceling the rescue request, Su Hao added Dai Wu and Mu Xia on Piplup-Chat before returning to the hotel to get some good rest.

Tomorrow, he planned to go to the Pokémon Comprehensive Center to buy an incubator.

An incubator with added special nutrient solution could accelerate the hatching speed without forcing the Pokémon inside to grow prematurely, and it could also consolidate their physical fitness.

"Hmm... I can buy Moomoo Milk suitable for newborn Pokémon. When a newborn Pokémon is born, you need to support its head and place it in a basin of warm water, using a soft cloth to wash away the mucus, otherwise there's a risk of it getting sick."

"Na na..."

【A new little brother.】

"Ka ao..."

【No more risk of being last place.】

"Fuu..."

【Is that how big brother and big sister picked me up too?】

Carbink, Incineroar, and Milotic each had their own thoughts about the future new member of the family.

Surrounded by his three Pokémon, Su Hao spent the time looking up the birthing process for newborn Pokémon online until he fell asleep.

April 8th, sunny, comfortable temperature.

Ever since that blizzard, for some reason, the temperature had warmed up significantly.

Today, he planned to go to the Pokémon Comprehensive Center to buy the supplies for hatching the Dreepy, then attend the auction held on the top floor in the evening.

Su Hao did a rough calculation; his savings accumulated over many years, the startup capital given by his parents, and the two million from the Water Boat Gym ticket share added up to about ten million Shenzhou coins.

When he registered for the auction, he browsed some of the publicly available auction item introductions. Among them were not only various high-level Pokémon training resources but also high-quality starter Pokémon like Charmander and Froakie participating in the bidding.

Most of the high-level Pokémon training resources were things like the source flame of a Gym-level Ninetales, which could help Elite-level Pokémon break through the barrier to Professional-level, or ointments formulated by high-level Breeders suitable for Steel-type Pokémon's physical maintenance, or to help non-Steel-type Pokémon learn Steel-type moves, and so on.

The rarest ones were the two items for the finale and the grand finale.

The finale was a Dragon-type pseudo-legendary—Frigibax's Pokémon egg, with a starting bid reaching a staggering two million Shenzhou coins; the final transaction price might be even higher.

The grand finale was also a Dragon-type pseudo-legendary—Jangmo-o's Pokémon egg, with a starting bid of 1.8 million Shenzhou coins.

On the market, most pseudo-legendary Pokémon eggs, unless machine-tested for exceptionally superior aptitude or if the parents were Champion-level or Elite Four-level Pokémon,

usually sell for around ten million or so.

Su Hao had originally planned to borrow some money from his father to try and bid on one of the pseudo-legendary Pokémon eggs.

With the ten million Shenzhou coins in his own small treasury plus the funds supported by his father, he should have had a chance to win the bid.

But with a Dreepy egg falling from the sky, he gave up on that idea.

Currently, his plan was to see if there were any hidden auction items or items he could "pick up as a bargain."

With the system's function that could even display information about Legendary Pokémon, he might be able to spot things that are "divine objects hiding their luster" through the system's capabilities.

For example, 【Key Stones】, 【Mega Stones】, 【Wishing Stars】, 【Luminous Stones】, 【Z-Crystals】, 【Terastal Orbs】, 【Partner Stones】~

Hehe, just dreaming...
