Chapter 10: Gem Auction

Attribute gems that can boost skill power are rare and have always been treasures trainers fight over.

Common attributes, such as Fire, Water, and Grass, start at three million in price.

For a rare attribute like Dragon, the price doubles.

Looking at the valuable gem in his hand, Bai Jing fell into a dilemma.

"Sell it or keep it for myself?"

After weighing the options, he decided to sell it as starting capital for a trainer; after all, he was poor.

After obtaining the gem, he slipped away quietly.

Part of the flower bed was damaged; if he didn't slip away, wouldn't he be waiting to get caught?

Better to act today than wait for another day, so Bai Jing went straight to the Pokémon Center.

The Pokémon Center is the largest and most complete official institution; here, one can not only heal Pokémon but also buy various foods and items, and accept various quests.

In short, almost everything related to trainers can be handled here.

"Hello, how may I help you?"

"I'm here to appraise a gem."

Bai Jing took out the Long Zhi gem, making the staff member's eyes go wide!

The result was naturally no surprise; it was a genuine gem.

"Are you selling this gem?"

"Of course, I need you to handle it."

"No problem!"

This is a state-run institution, so there is no safety issue.

After a series of operations, Bai Jing received a certificate and then consigned the gem there.

Afterwards, he logged onto the trainer website via his phone, uploaded a photo of the gem, and posted a sale notice.

There are two ways to sell.

One is where the seller sets a fixed price, and the deal is made at that price.

The other is in the form of an auction.

Bai Jing naturally chose the latter; after all, Long Zhi gems are rare.

Starting price five million, no upper limit, duration three days, highest bidder wins.

Once the time is up, the deal will be finalized automatically, and the Pokémon Center will be responsible for delivering the gem to the buyer.

Of course, a 5% commission will be deducted, and the rest of the money will be transferred to Bai Jing's account.

After finishing all this, Bai Jing left contentedly; now it was just a matter of waiting for the money, feeling delighted!

He stopped in front of a martial arts hall named 'Gao Shou'; this was his home.

His father, Bai Yutang, thirty-eight years old, is a middle-aged handsome man and also an old rascal, proficient in various fighting techniques.

His mother, Hua Ying, thirty-seven years old, is a typical virtuous wife and good mother.

The couple runs this martial arts hall to make a living and raises one child, Bai Jing.

The front courtyard is where lessons are given; the back courtyard is where they live.

Walking through the door, he saw only a handful of students practicing fighting.

His father was personally instructing a female student; the scene was too lewd.

Bai Jing rolled his eyes; it was this again!

The martial arts hall used to do very well in business; the reason it has gone from bad to worse is all due to this old rascal; his reputation has stunk up the whole street!

Seeing him grin in an extremely lewd manner while taking liberties, Bai Jing felt his anger rise.

So he quietly walked over, and as he passed the female student, he extended his paw.

"Ah~~"

"Coach, you're so bad!"

"I'm not coming anymore!"

Bai Yutang looked utterly confused; what was this little wench suddenly up to?

But then again, it suits my purpose!

Sigh, indeed, there isn't a single normal person coming here to practice martial arts now!

Shaking his head and sighing, he didn't want to look at that unbearable scene anymore and went straight to the back courtyard.

Mom was bustling about, doing household chores.

"Mom!"

"You're back! How did the exam go?"
