Chapter 38: Buying a Snow Boy

The next day

Tenkai City

Meet the Star Elf Breeding House

"Hello, is this Mr. Shangguan?"

As soon as Zi Mu and his companions walked into the door of the breeding house, a woman in professional clothes bent down and invited them in, obviously knowing of their arrival.

"Yes." Shangguan Chuang nodded, turned his head to look at Zi Mu, and walked in front.

"Okay, sir, the Snow Boy's elf eggs you pre-ordered are in front, please follow me." The waitress put on a professional smile, made a "please" gesture to several people, and then led them to the elf egg counter.

Encounter Starlight is a spirit breeding house located in the center of Tianhai City. It is much more advanced than Xinwan Breeding House in terms of size and decoration. It has only been three days since the news of the Snow Boy Spirit Egg came out. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the best breeding house in Tianhai City.

Not only that, under the dream energy that Zi Mu secretly opened, the quality of the elf eggs in this breeding house is also better than those in Xinwan's breeding house.

From the moment you enter the store, you can see that the quality of ordinary Pokémon eggs is between D+ and C+, and there are even a few B- ordinary Pokémons. What shocked Zimu the most was that there were more than a dozen Pokémon eggs from the three great families in this store!

Although the three starter Pokémons are expensive, their racial values ​​are indeed top-notch among the Pokémons, and they are undoubtedly in short supply in all Pokémon breeding houses.

Generally speaking, the Pokémon eggs of the three great Pokémons are sold out as soon as they are pre-ordered or put on the shelves. This Encounter Star Breeding House can actually keep more than a dozen Pokémon eggs of the three great Pokémons in the store. Although they were just put on the shelves in the morning, it is enough to show the rich heritage of this breeding house.

"China's No. 1 breeding house actually has a branch in Tianhai City. That's great! I don't have to worry about buying elf breeding supplies in the future!" Su Xier looked at the dazzling array of elf eggs and elf breeding supplies, and suddenly spoke excitedly.

"China's No. 1 breeding house? Are there rankings for breeding houses?" Zi Mu was stunned. He knew nothing about this. As a poor elf breeder, he usually didn't pay much attention to the news of breeding houses.

"Ah?" Su Xier turned her head to look at Zi Mu. She looked at him in surprise for a while, then smiled and explained, "It's normal that you don't understand. These rankings are given by us breeders! And they only involve private elf breeding houses."

"Oh...what do you think of Xinwan's breeding house?" Zi Mu nodded and asked.

"It's just so-so, but the nutrient solution is really good. It should have been made by a high-level elf breeder. If we ignore the quality of the elf eggs, the best thing in that store should be that bottle of nutrient solution." Su Xier looked left and right and answered casually.

Suddenly she stopped in front of a shelf for a moment, thought for a moment, and then followed the line again, muttering, "That purple jade ball looks pretty good, ah..."

There is only one reason why Su Xier likes something but doesn't buy it: this intermediate elf breeder who spends money lavishly has finally... run out of money!

Zi Mu, who was right in front of Su Xier, was very close to her. Although Su Xier spoke very quietly, he still heard it. As a careful person, he could understand why Su Xier didn't buy the item she liked. Although he didn't know the function of this thing, he still pretended to be nothing and turned his head to look at the purple jade pills and took note of it.

Following the waitress to the second floor, I finally saw the elf egg series that are not available in the Naigrin area. Generally, they are some elf species that can only be found in extremely cold or extremely cold areas. For example, Ice Treasure, Burning Fire Centipede, Duck-billed Fire Beast, etc.

The Tianhai Great Forest does not only have forests, but also mountains, rivers, jungles, etc. However, although the terrain is rich and there are many species of elves, it is located in the Central Plains after all. Elves that extremely like heat or extremely like cold will not be confined to the Tianhai Great Forest.

In snowy areas or deserts, it is just the opposite. There are always some Pokémon that you cannot encounter in the wild. It is for this reason that many trainers have spotted the business opportunity and started breeding and reselling Pokémon eggs. The Pokémon breeding industry has gradually prospered.

Of course, in addition to some businessmen who are only after fame and fortune, there are still some high-level Pokémon breeders who do not simply run Pokémon breeding houses for money. Su Xier once told Zi Mu about her dream when chatting with him - to become a master Pokémon breeder, and then open a Pokémon breeding house of her own, so that the Pokémon products she has researched and her own breeding house can help more Pokémon and trainers.

When they reached the back of the second floor, the waitress finally stopped, turned around and leaned over to Shangguan Chuang and said, "These are the Snow Boy Elf Eggs you ordered. The quality of the three eggs is still unknown, but the price will be slightly different depending on the level of their parents."

Although it is impossible to estimate the level of a Pokémon egg, after a lot of data research, it is found that the higher the level of the parents, the higher the probability of hatching a Pokémon with high qualifications. This also leads to a large price fluctuation for the same Pokémon egg. Of course, most trainers do not have a gambler mentality and will not pay a high price to buy Pokémon eggs that have a "high probability" of being high-quality.

"The one on the left is an elite-level Pokémon egg, the one in the middle is a gym-level one, and the one on the right is a high-level one. You can look at the labels for the specific prices." The waitress stepped aside slightly and introduced to Shangguan Chuang.

"Snow Boy Elf Egg, estimated by a senior appraiser to be an elite-level Elf Egg, price: 20, certification number: 040203, detailed data of the Elf's parents can be checked."

"Snow Boy Elf Egg, estimated by a senior appraiser to be a high-level Elf Egg, price: 18, certification number: 040203, detailed data of the Elf's parents can be checked."

"Snow Boy Pokémon Egg, estimated by a senior appraiser to be a gym-level Pokémon Egg, price: 25, certification number: 040203, detailed data of the Pokémon's parents can be checked."

Seeing the three elf eggs, Shangguan Chuang couldn't help but ask Zi Mu suspiciously in a low voice: "Why have I never heard of elf eggs having different levels? Are you kidding me?"

Zi Mu was embarrassed. Although he had seen through the qualifications of the three elf eggs, he was not clear about the ins and outs here. He turned his gaze to Su Xier beside him.

"Ah, this is a specialty of senior appraisers. They can roughly infer the level of the elf egg based on the various indicators of its parents. Generally speaking, after verification, the higher the level of the elf egg, the higher the probability of hatching a high-quality elf, but it cannot be confirmed." Su Xier looked at the suspicious eyes of the crowd and explained, "And the probability of elf eggs of this level is about the same. Only when it reaches the level of the king of heaven will the probability increase."

Shangguan Chuang was confused by what he heard and looked at Zi Mu for help, without any backbone at all.

"Since the probability is about the same, I'll just buy the 20 yuan one. 2 yuan is just for psychological comfort."
