Pokémon Origins

Chapter 40: "Family" Dinner

"Ahem!" Zi Mu, who was suddenly discovered, coughed twice in embarrassment and said with full energy, "I went to the toilet and just came back."

Shangguan Chuang and Shangguan Qi didn't notice Zi Mu's departure, and didn't react much when Su Xier said that.

“Has this been bought?”

Seeing Shangguan Chuang taking back the bank card, Zi Mu took the opportunity to change the subject.

"Yes." Shangguan Chuang took the incubator containing the Snow Boy Elf Egg and put the nutrient solution into the storage necklace.

After completing all the formalities, Shangguan Chuang turned his gaze to Zi Mu, who was trying to reduce his presence, and asked, "Why are you hiding here and there? You're like a white mouse. Do you need to buy anything?"

Zi Mu’s body suddenly froze for a moment after being discovered. Oh my god, why is this guy so rude?

"**"

After cursing back, Zi Mu thought about it and realized that if he gave this purple jade pill directly to Su Xier, it might be difficult for her to accept it. He glanced at Shangguan Chuang who seemed to be nonchalant and called him aside.

"What? If you have anything to say, just say no."

Although Shangguan Chuang was tough on the outside, he still followed Zi Mu to a small corner with a cocky look on his face.

After arriving at the small corner, Zi Mu glanced in the direction of Su Xier and Shangguan Qi, and after making sure that the distance was safe enough, he whispered, "I bought two purple jade pills and have already paid for them. You'd better buy one as well. It can improve your Snow Boy's aptitude. It's a very good thing, so be sure to get it."

The qualification of the Snow Boy that Shangguan Chuang bought is probably between C+ and B-. After using the Purple Jade Pills, it should not be a problem to stabilize it at B-. It may even be possible to reach the level of B like Su Xier's Pogamon.

The qualification levels in this world are clearly classified. The current levels are E-level being the lowest and S-level being the highest. Each major level is divided into three minor levels, with a total of 18 levels.

For example, s-, s, s+. S- is in the third level of 18 levels, while s+ is the first level in the current level.

Elves at the S+ level are, by definition, the highest level of qualifications.

Because at the beginner stage, most elves are initial elves and have not yet received the baptism of the light of evolution, elves with B-level qualifications are already considered to be very outstanding qualifications at this stage.

"There's such a good thing? Then why do I only buy one, and you can buy two? I'll buy two too."

Shangguan Chuang was a complete failure in the cultural subjects, so he naturally knew nothing about the elves' aptitude in this area, and he started to compare himself with them for no apparent reason. Zi Mu was so angry that he desperately massaged his temples with his fingers.

"This item has no effect on elves above level 5, do you understand?" Zi Mu gritted his teeth and uttered a few words.

"Then why did you buy two? Have you decided on your third elf?" Shangguan Chuang asked without noticing Zi Mu's murderous look.

"..."

Zi Mu let out a long breath, calmed himself down, suppressed the urge to beat someone up, and said calmly: "I'll buy one for myself and one for Xi'er as well."

Shangguan Chuang suddenly realized something, and with an expression that said "I understand, I understand", he stood a little closer to Zi Mu.

......

When everyone came to the first floor again and were about to leave, Zimu noticed that Su Xier once again cast her eyes towards the Purple Jade Pills display. Seizing the opportunity, Zimu asked, "Xier, are these Purple Jade Pills useful for levels before level 5?"

"Ah?" Su Xier was lost in thought, and when she came to her senses, she replied, "Yes, it is useful as long as it is before level 5. The earlier the newborn elf is used, the better the effect."

Zi Mu nodded and glanced at Shangguan Chuang. After the two looked at each other, Shangguan Chuang winked at him knowingly.

"Hey, you're here, and all the elf items are on sale. It just so happens that the three of us all have new elves, so why not take this opportunity to buy one each!"

"Yes, we can't delay the acquisition of these aptitude-enhancing items. If we delay, it will take a lifetime. The little Pogaman should be hatching in a couple of days, so why not buy them together?"

Zi Mu and Shangguan Chuang stood on Su Xier's left and right, chattering in unison in Su Xier's ear.

Su Xier was obviously tempted, but after thinking about her balance, she bit her red lips with her pearly teeth and looked embarrassed.

"But...but I have no money..." Su Xier's pretty and cute face flushed slightly, and she squeezed out a few words from between her teeth a little embarrassedly.

Her three elves have all used pills to improve their qualifications. Originally, she felt that it was unrealistic to find a way to improve their qualifications in Tianhai City, but now that the Purple Jade Pills are right in front of her, she would be lying if she said she wasn't tempted.

Although she wanted the Purple Jade Pill very much, she had already spent all the money she brought with her. She was too embarrassed to ask Zi Mu and the others for money. After all, she had no means of making money in the short term, and it might take a long time for her to pay back the money...

Seeing Su Xier's increasingly embarrassed expression, Zi Mu quickly winked at Shangguan Chuang and said to Su Xier, "It's okay. We'll buy you half each. Your birthday is in a few days, so just consider it as a birthday present from us."

Shangguan Chuang received Zi Mu's gaze and nodded hurriedly, agreeing, "Yes, yes, let's consider it as our birthday present to you. Besides, we also want to use your Intermediate Elf Breeder business card. A 10% discount is not a small amount of money!"

"Hehe~ Sister Xier, just agree. Anyway, my brother and brother Zimu happen to have money now. Otherwise, they will probably be out of money in a few days!"

Shangguan Qi, who was standing by, looked at the two people making faces at each other and immediately understood their intentions. He then joined their group to deceive people.

She had grown up playing with the two of them, so she knew Zi Mu and the other's little thoughts very well.

"But..."

Su Xier wanted to say something, but Zi Mu and the others didn't wait for her to respond. They hurriedly walked to the counter of the Purple Jade Balls, waved to Su Xier, and said, "Come here, Xier, you need to show me your business card!"

"Ah... okay." Su Xier hesitated for a moment, and finally took out her business card and walked towards the two of them.

......

In the end, each of the three people got a purple jade pill. Zi Mu looked at the balance on his bank card and couldn't help but sigh.

He naturally paid for the Purple Jade Balls in full, saying that he and Shangguan Chuang would each pay half, but in fact he had already paid the full amount in advance. After paying, there were less than 10,000 Elf Coins left on the card...

Alas, I am poor again...

"Drip~"

A new message has been delivered.

Mom: "Son, your dad has arrived and is buying groceries to prepare dinner. All he needs is you to bring someone with you! See you at 7pm~ (If you don't bring anyone with you, don't come into the house anymore! Hehehe!)"

Tenkai City

Zimu's home

Jiang Xiaoli put down her phone with a relaxed look on her face, and saw that the book she had been following, "Pokemon: Origins", had finally been updated. She immediately finished reading it with great interest.

Looking at the "Friendly reminder, don't close the comments~", Jiang Xiaoli smiled gently and murmured: "This author is really interesting~"
