Chapter 144: This Wave is a Huge Profit

~6 min read 1,158 words

"Respected VIPs, next we will proceed to the auction of several special items."

"All starting prices are from zero, and there is no limit to each bid increment."

"Please allow me, on behalf of the United Chamber of Commerce, to sincerely hope that all VIPs can encounter auction items that make your eyes shine."

The auctioneer in the tuxedo turned his wrist and bowed slightly to the audience.

"What I want to say ends here. Next is the first special auction item—Toxic Manual!"

"This manual comes from the long-famous Poison-type specialist Gym-level Trainer, Mr. Dugu Bo. Through this manual, Pokémon can practice a Toxic move with greater toxicity than the usual Toxic move."

The auctioneer's tone paused, and he glanced at the audience, finding that most people's expressions carried a hint of curiosity, but their expressions and looks didn't show a desire to buy.

The auctioneer wasn't surprised, thinking to himself that it was just as the note on the list said. That adult is really as wise as a god; it is no wonder he gathered all the scattered merchants alone and founded the United Chamber of Commerce!

"You might be worried that the Pokémon won't be able to withstand the Toxic during the cultivation process and suffer irreversible damage, or that you will commit the crime of causing the death of a Pokémon due to negligence after using it in battle without an antidote."

"Of course, the manual also contains the method for making the antidote. The material price is cheap, and it can even be mass-produced."

The final concerns disappeared, and the special VIPs in the front row starting with 'S' bid one after another.

Both pseudo-legendary eggs were bought by that junior suspected to be from the Dragon-tamer clan next to them, and they didn't dare to have ideas about the Dragon-tamer clan.

They didn't buy any auction items before waiting for these two pseudo-legendary eggs. If they didn't spend money now, they wouldn't have the chance to spend money!

"8 million Shenzhou coins three times, sold!"

"Let's applaud and congratulate this VIP in seat S007 for obtaining this Toxic Manual."

"Clap clap clap clap clap clap"

"The second special auction item, this is a stone that everyone has heard of more or less."

"After research by elite scientists in alliances around the world, this kind of stone possesses the ability to subtly improve the physical quality of Pokémon, and has a certain probability of increasing the affinity of this Pokémon to its own attribute energy."

After the auctioneer finished a long paragraph in one breath, he paused and then said solemnly.

"Of course, our United Chamber of Commerce pursues honest business, and this stone does have its shortcomings."

"It can only produce effects on specific Pokémon. The seller of this stone has tried it on many Pokémon, but has never found a Pokémon that fits it."

"Nowadays, the seller has to entrust this rare stone to our chamber of commerce for auction due to capital flow problems."

"If any VIPs are interested, you might as well bid on it. What if you happen to encounter the right Pokémon? Wouldn't that be beautiful?"

The auctioneer's tone carried bewitchment. Because this auction item hadn't found the corresponding Pokémon, the existence of trial-and-error costs made its value greatly discounted.

To sell it for a good price and get a commission, he still had to work hard.

"Then, please enjoy this wonderful stone!"

The display cabinet rose. This stone, which is better called a glass marble than a stone, lay quietly in a soft red velvet box, covered by a transparent glass lid.

!!!

The moment the full appearance of this stone appeared on the screen, Su Hao, who was originally slouching in his chair, sat up straight instantly, his eyes staring fixedly at this stone.

Mega Stone!?

What appeared on the screen was the Mega Stone that Su Hao had once searched for on the Internet under the series of terms "Evolution Beyond Limits," which clearly had no information about its existence!

Thinking of the auctioneer's introduction just now, it seems that people in this world don't know that Mega Stones need the Trainer to hold a corresponding Key Stone, plus deep bonds and feelings, to complete that miraculous evolution beyond limits.

It was completely used by them as a kind of special resource, using the crudest way to use this miracle stone.

According to the appearance of the Mega Stone on the screen, even without system scanning, he could determine which Pokémon this

Mega Stone belonged to.

The light purple sphere is matched with red and blue-purple symbols similar to gene chains in the middle.

Undoubtedly, this is the Mega Stone of that Ghost + Poison-type Pokémon—the fat purple guy, Gengar!

Looking at this Mega Stone, even if he doesn't have a Gengar now, who knows if he will encounter one in the future?

It's really eye-catching.

The discussion of the three people next to him lowered their voices and reached Su Hao's ears, which were strengthened by Aura and had better hearing.

Concentrating his attention, the content of the three people's discussion was heard clearly by him.

"This auctioneer speaks nicely. Nowadays, various new Pokémon are often discovered. Who knows when you will find the corresponding Pokémon after buying this stone."

"Yeah, yeah, the most advanced machines seem to have no effect; they can't sense the energy contained in this stone at all, and even the corresponding Pokémon has no reaction to this stone."

"The most important thing is, although it can improve the basic quality of Pokémon, other high-level resources also have this effect or even stronger, and this stone can only be used by corresponding Pokémon."

"And that so-called effect of increasing energy affinity is really a 【minimal】 probability."

After the "explanation" of these three people, Su Hao roughly understood what position the Mega Stone had in this world today.

Many people hold this stone, but don't know that it needs a matching Key Stone to start the Mega Evolution of the corresponding Pokémon.

It is even very likely that the Key Stone was also treated as a stone corresponding to some unknown Pokémon. No one has ever been able to gather the five conditions for Mega Evolution.

Bonds, Mega Stone, Key Stone, Pokémon corresponding to the Mega Stone, Trainer holding the Key Stone.

"The starting price of this wonderful stone, named 【Reinforcement Stone】, is zero, and there is no limit to each bid increment."

"Auction starts!"

The small hammer hit again, and many interested people bid one after another.

"1 Shenzhou coin!"

"2 Shenzhou coins!"

"500,000 Shenzhou coins!"

Su Hao quickly searched on his phone and sure enough saw the Baidu entry for Reinforcement Stone.

He checked the market price.

Although Mega Stones are rare, several public transaction records clarify that stones for corresponding Pokémon will not exceed 10 million Shenzhou coins, and those that are not clarified are even discounted.
