Pokémon: From Magikarp

"That medicine contains powerful vitality. It took me many years of hard research to develop it."

"It can instantly help the user to replenish their energy and stimulate their potential, but it also has huge side effects and can cause serious damage to the body. It is a life-threatening drug that should not be taken unless it is absolutely necessary!"

Sang Ji said word by word.

"I know. When the captain used it that day, I could roughly guess it, so... Grandpa Sangji, are you willing to give up a few?"

Lin Shi nodded, then raised his head and looked at Sang Ji in a flattering manner.

"You...sigh."

Sangji wanted to say something, but looking at Lin Shi’s eyes, which were so similar to Shadan’s back then, he finally sighed.

"Okay, but I have to tell you, kid, you must not take this medicine unless it is absolutely necessary. Don't think of it as a strong... cough... what medicine."

Lin Shi: ...

I feel offended again...

"Don't worry, I'm not stupid. I just prepared it for emergencies. Why would I eat this kind of stuff if I have nothing to do?"

Lin Shi immediately made the promise, and he felt that it would be difficult to force him to take this kind of medicine.

"That's more like it. Wait."

Sang Ji nodded, and was quite satisfied with Lin Shi's attitude. Then he went back into the house and came out after a while with a bottle of medicine and a book.

"There aren't many pills in this bottle, only three, but I hope you don't use any of them. Also, this book is a boxing book for physical training, and you're too weak, so just practice it for fun."

Ancient boxing?

Lin Shi raised his eyebrows. The legendary secret book?

He suddenly felt a little excited.

As he spoke, Sang Ji stuffed the medicine bottle and the yellowed ancient book into Lin Shi's arms.

Lin Shi looked at the thing in his arms and a smile appeared on his face. Although they had not known each other for long, Sang Ji was really nice to him.

"Thank you, Grandpa Sangji. I have a few resurrection herbs that I have never used. I'll give them to you as payment for the medicine."

Lin Shi also took out a few green medicinal herbs that were growing well and placed them on the table.

After chatting with Sangji for a while, seeing that the time was almost up, Lin Shi stood up to say goodbye to Sangji. Sangji did not try to keep him, but felt a little regretful that Lin Shi was unable to meet his granddaughter in the end.

……

"Lin Shi, Lin Shi, let's go out for a walk. I heard there are some very lively markets nearby."

After dinner, Li Taoyao said to Lin Shi with sparkling eyes.

"What's so good about it? They're all useless stuff." Lin Shi has long been immune to all this excitement.

"Let's go. We'll be back tomorrow. I haven't been around yet. And I heard there's a gambling place there. I've never been there. Don't you want to go and have a look?"

Li Taoyao continued to recommend it with all her might.

"Gambler?"

Lin Shi had heard of it before. It was a group of elf eggs mixed together and people were randomly selected to buy. The types and qualifications of the elves varied greatly, and there were even dead eggs that could not be hatched put in there to pass off as genuine ones, with the intention of defrauding people.

When he first came to this world, Lin Shi was very interested in it, but unfortunately the identification system could not tell him which elf each egg belonged to. If he wanted to gamble on eggs, it would really just be a gamble, and later he lost interest.

"You can go and join in the fun, but I suggest you don't buy any elf eggs. The elves that appear there are probably not rare ones."

Lin Shi nodded and agreed to go out, while also reminding Li Taoyao.

"Uh-huh……"

Li Taoyao nodded quickly, looking very obedient.

The two of them came to the market together and saw a small gambling stall from afar. Compared with other places, this place was crowded and it could be seen that most of them were tourists from other places.

The elf eggs with green patterns lay quietly on the stall, being touched freely by passing tourists.

"Look, handsome men and beautiful ladies, these are all exquisite elf eggs. Each one is full of vitality. I will definitely not let you down. If a quasi-god is hatched, you will reach the sky in one step..."

Lin Shi and Li Taoyao also came over and looked at the eggs on the stall. Lin Shi asked with a twitch of his mouth:

"Boss, is your egg safe?"

The boss was delighted that business had come, and he immediately patted his chest and promised:

"Don't worry, I'm a seller of elf eggs, how can I sell you dead eggs?"

Lin Shi shook his head helplessly. Don't listen to what the boss said. In fact, he had looked around along the way and found that there were indeed quite a few dead eggs mixed in. It was impossible to recover them. Some were severely damaged and had no potential even if they were hatched.

This boss is not honest.

Li Taoyao, on the other hand, seemed very interested in these things. He looked at the elf eggs from time to time and stroked them with his hands.

"Lin Shi, what do you think of this one?"

Lin Shi glanced at it.

"Not very good, are you really going to buy one?"

Li Taoyao put down the elf egg, smiled at Lin Shi, reached out to tuck the messy hair on her forehead behind her ears, and nodded.

"That's right. I finally came to such a far place, and I want to leave a souvenir. Don't worry, no matter what kind of elf it is, no matter how good or bad its aptitude is, I will train it well."

Li Taoyao clenched her fists and said, Lin Shi naturally believed that the owner's daughter had a wealthy family and it would be easy for her to raise a pet elf.

"Yeah, that's right. Then I suggest you buy this one."

As he spoke, Lin Shi raised his hand and picked up an egg that was not far in front of him. The egg was not big, but Lin Shi could see that it was full of vitality and would hatch soon.

Although he couldn't be sure which Pokémon egg this was, he could guarantee that it was a healthy Pokémon egg.

"This one, let me see it."

Li Taoyao took it as if it were a treasure, rubbing it back and forth as she looked at it. Her pink eyes emitted a faint light. The elf egg seemed to respond to her, and a light flashed as well.

"Okay, this one, I like it very much."

Li Taoyao was delighted to see the prey and made a decision immediately. After she finished speaking, she turned around and looked at Lin Shi.

"Lin Shi, don't you want to buy one?"

"No, I have a lot of elves and I don't have that much energy." Lin Shi shook his head and refused. Although this kind of uncertain elf can make people excited, he still likes to choose the elves he needs.

Lin Shi suddenly remembered the ice and fire red tumbler that Bald Three mentioned. Lin Shi was quite interested in this kind of elf.

But on the one hand, there were too many things to do and he had no time to look for it. On the other hand, as he said, he already had a lot of elves and there was no need to disperse too much energy for the time being.

He could only let it go, and he was already very satisfied that he had been able to subdue the Eternal Flower, an elf that was no less legendary than the legendary one.

At this time, Li Taoyao had already paid the money and happily returned to Lin Shi with the elf egg.

"Let's go. This road is quite long. Let's continue to look around."

Lin Shi said to Li Taoyao.
