Pokémon Origins

Chapter 39: The Effects of Ziyusu Pills

Under the perspective of Zi Mu's dream energy, he took in the qualifications of the three elves. Although it didn't seem reliable to judge the qualifications based on the levels of their parents, it was still somewhat logical. Otherwise, it wouldn't make sense why when he met two king-level elves, they happened to have two offspring of high-qualified elves.

Among the three Pokémon eggs, the one with the worst qualifications is the one judged as a high-level Pokémon egg, which is probably only at the C- level. Looking at the other two, the gym-level Pokémon egg is probably at the C+ level, and the elite-level Pokémon egg is slightly stronger than the gym-level one, roughly at the peak of C+ or just touching the threshold of B-.

Shangguan Chuang was lucky. Normally, C+ and B- elf eggs are considered good quality among ordinary elves. Unexpectedly, he encountered a decent Snow Boy with only 3 elf eggs. He turned the flock of Maeli sheep guarded by a king-level electric dragon upside down...

Of course, even though he knew that the elite-level Snow Boy was the most qualified, he couldn't be too sure. After all, the ability of "perspective" was something only he knew. After thinking about it again and again, he could only use the word "psychological comfort" to prevaricate his dream energy. Whether to listen to him or not was up to Shangguan Chuang's own decision.

"Okay, let's choose the elite one."

Obviously, Shangguan Chuang still chose to follow Zi Mu's decision. Anyway, he knew nothing about this aspect, so he just wanted to save as much money as possible.

After hearing Shangguan Chuang's choice, the waitress took out the elite Snow Boy Elf Egg and handed it to Shangguan Chuang carefully. Then she smiled and asked, "Mr. Shangguan, do you need an ice-specific incubator?"

"I want high-quality ones." Shangguan Chuang was very clear about the fact that incubation required an incubator, so he said proudly, "Give me another bottle of high-quality nutrient solution!"

When the waitress heard this, the smile on her face became even brighter. Obviously, this was also a considerable commission.

"Okay, sir, please wait."

After the waitress left, Zi Mu and the others wandered around the second floor, wishing to buy everything. Especially Shangguan Qi, who had a low sense of presence, had a pair of big eyes full of curiosity. When she looked at the ice-type Vulpix, tears flowed from the corners of her mouth.

She is not old enough to apply for her own Pokémon yet. All Pokémon trainers must become adults before they can register their first Pokémon. Of course, there are also many families who will choose Pokémon for their children early to accompany them as they grow up. After all, everyone has Pokémon affinity when they are born.

This situation rarely happens, because everyone's initial elf affinity will break through the shackles after the age of eighteen, and increase as they train with the elves. For some reasons, the highest elf affinity before the age of 18 is no more than 10.

Since the birth of elves, no matter how people study, they cannot break this law. After a long time, there is only one conclusion - in a level that humans cannot reach, there are elves beyond the world setting. (Or maybe a handsome guy in another dimension who is not in the setting, holding a keyboard, created this elf world by himself.)

While Su Xier was looking at the goods, Zi Mu seized the opportunity and when no one was paying attention to him, he sneaked back to the first floor and walked straight to the counter of the Purple Jade Balls.

"Purple Jade Pill: can improve the elf's qualifications slightly. Only elves below level 5 can use it. Each elf can only be used once, and the maximum improvement is one small level. Price: 50 per pill."

Zi Mu looked at the price and felt a little distressed. He could only bite the bullet and say to the waiter at the counter: "My friend, can we negotiate the price of this purple jade crispy ball?"

"I'm sorry, sir. All the goods in our store are clearly marked with prices, and the marked price is the fixed price." The waiter smiled at Zi Mu politely, with no intention of discriminating against Zi Mu.

"Then is there any discount? If I buy two, I can get a discount. Or if I ask a friend who is a mid-level elf breeder to buy them, can I get a discount?"

Thinking of the discount measures of Xinwan Breeding House, Zimu couldn't help but ask.

"It's like this, sir. Our store doesn't have a membership system or a discount system. However, if you are a Pokémon Breeder or Pokémon Appraiser, you can get a discount based on your level. You can ask your friends to buy the goods."

"Low-level elf breeders can enjoy a 96% discount in our store, intermediate elf breeders can enjoy a 9% discount in our store, advanced elf breeders can enjoy a 82% discount in our store, expert and master elf breeders can enjoy a 7% discount in our store, as well as elf product trials, equal exchange and other privileges. The same applies to elf appraisers."

The waiter patiently explained the store's regulations to Zimu. As the number one private breeding house in the country, Xiehuixingchen has a preferential system different from that of ordinary breeding houses.

Of course, for people like elf appraisers and elf breeders, even breeding houses like Encounter Star will be given some privileges.

"Okay, pack two for me. I'll prepay 90 yuan first. I'll ask my friend to come over and swipe his intermediate appraiser's business card, okay?" Zi Mu took out his bank card from his clothes and handed it to the waiter reluctantly.

After the waiter took the bank card with both hands, he smiled politely at Zi Mu and said, "No problem sir, just bring your friend to pick it up later."

Zi Mu looked at his bank card with a bit of heartache, then sneaked back to the second floor.

Although its Merely sheep is already of B+ rank, the effect of using Purple Jade Pills may be mediocre, but based on the principle of every bit of growth is a bit of growth, it is still necessary to spend the 50. After all, there are too few ways to improve the elf's rank. The elf's rank determines the upper limit of the elf. Zi Mu does not want his elf to lag behind others, so even if it is an ordinary elf, he will give it the best!

Besides, the Merely sheep was born at level 3, and although it had not been trained, after a few days of adaptation, it had already reached level 4. The general method of improving the qualifications of elves was only applicable to newly born elves. After level 5, the effect of this method was almost zero.

"Sir, this is your Snow Boy, the exclusive advanced incubator, and the advanced nutrient solution you requested, a total of 35 yuan. How would you like to pay?"

When Zi Mu came back, he happened to meet Shangguan Chuang paying the bill, so Zi Mu tiptoed back behind Shangguan Chuang.

"Do intermediate elf breeders enjoy discounts?" Su Xier on the side handed over her business card and asked.

Although he had just met Shangguan Chuang, since he was Zi Mu's good brother, he had a relationship with her too, so naturally he had to help her to the best of his ability.

"Hello, miss. There is no discount for the elf eggs. The incubator and high-grade nutrient solution cost a total of 15 yuan. You can enjoy a 9% discount at our store, so the total is 33.5 yuan." After the waitress took the business card and checked it, she did a quick calculation and spoke.

The discount was 1.5 yuan, which was a good discount in Encounter Star. Shangguan Chuang took out his bank card without hesitation, handed it to the waitress, and said to Su Xier sincerely: "I will definitely treat you to a meal some other day! Forget about today..."

Su Xier, who was standing by, was stunned after hearing this. Suddenly, she thought of something. Her pretty face flushed slightly and her eyes unconsciously looked for Zi Mu.

"Huh? You're back?"
