After being struck by lightning, I became the leader of the elves

"The hodgepodge area has everything, like antiques from a hundred years ago, ancient Pokémon fossils, various inventions that I made, perfumes that can increase attraction to the opposite sex, and underwear or medicines with special effects, etc."

Bai Zhi pointed to the sign hanging on the tree and continued to explain:

"Although about 70% of the items in the hodgepodge area are useless or simply counterfeit, if you have a sharp eye, you can find a lot of good things in the remaining 30%."

"For example, there are ancient fossils that can hatch different-colored ice dragons, the location of the Dragon Cave Quasi-God, and even information about mythical Pokémon. It is said that the current Chinese champion Qinglong got the information about the whereabouts of his mythical Pokémon Xie Mi from the Cricket Market. As for whether it is true or not, it is unknown."

"As for the help section at the end, I guess you may not be too interested. Usually, most people here are looking for help with holiday projects. Of course, there are also some weird requests such as substitute teaching and seeking a partner."

As soon as Bai Zhi finished speaking, Zhang Tianhou thought of the anime he had watched, and subconsciously asked curiously:

"Do you have a girlfriend for rent? The kind that can..."

He was even afraid that Bai Zhi didn't understand, so he explained it in detail.

"..."

Hearing Zhang Tianhou's sudden words, Bai Zhi couldn't help but open her mouth slightly, her face full of astonishment, and she stood there for a long time without coming back to her senses.

Several seconds passed before Bai Zhi blinked as if waking up from a dream. Then, she swallowed the second half of the words she was about to say and looked at Zhang Tianhou with a dangerous smile.

Monkey, I wish you a safe journey.

Lin Feng looked at Bai Zhi, then at Zhang Tianhou, and mourned for him in his heart for a second.

At this time, Zhang Tianhou also obviously noticed that the atmosphere on the scene had become a little strange. He reacted and quickly hid behind Wang Xiaotian, explaining in a panic:

"Um... Senior, you should understand what I mean, I really didn't mean it that way, I was just joking..."

However, facing Zhang Tianhou's incoherent defense, Bai Zhi just looked at him meaningfully, and then she turned her head as if nothing had happened and said to Lin Feng and the others:

"I still have some things I need to get. How about this, I'll let Zhang Tianhou accompany me on this trip. You guys can just wander around here, and I'll meet up with you when I come back."

"it is good."

"No! Lao Lin, you can't, hey hey hey, senior sister, be gentle..."

Lin Feng and the others all nodded in agreement. Although Zhang Tianhou desperately objected, Bai Zhi still grabbed his arm as if he was dragging an object. In the blink of an eye, the two of them disappeared into the bustling crowd.

"Bai Yao, Wang Xiaotian, if that's the case, why don't you two take a look around. I'm going to check out the hodgepodge area first, and we'll find a place to meet up later."

Lin Feng smiled, his eyes inadvertently sweeping over Bai Yao and Wang Xiaotian's hands which were tightly clasped together and hidden behind their backs, and said calmly.

"Ok."

The two hesitated for a moment, and after Lin Feng's repeated urging, they nodded and walked towards the resource area.

After watching the two of them leave, Lin Feng couldn't help but fall into deep thought:

"What to do next?"

Lin Feng looked curiously at the stalls on both sides of the hodgepodge area. At this time, a special prop attracted his attention.

"Um... Tai Jing Zhu?"

Lin Feng suddenly stopped and stood in front of a stall set up by a blonde mixed-race student with somewhat American looks.

He looked at the 10 colorful gems with different properties and shining with strange light placed on the ground and raised his eyebrows.

At this moment, seven or eight equally curious students had gathered around the small stall, and were having a heated debate about the authenticity of these so-called "Tai Jing Pearls".

After all, the number of Taijingzhu that has flowed out of China is extremely small. Even for students from Peking University and Tsinghua University, the number of times they can witness the Taijingzhu becoming Taijing in fierce battles in a year is very limited.

You know, compared with Mega Evolution and Gigantamax, the side effects of Taicrystalization are the smallest, and it can be used in succession. In the outside world, once there is news about Taicrystal, high-level trainers will rush to it.

But as freshmen, they don’t have enough knowledge about Taijing beads. Besides, there are many fake ones in the cricket market, which makes them hesitate and dare not buy easily.

"Don't miss it if you pass by! This is a genuine American Taijing Pearl. The price is super reasonable. You can take it home for only 10 Elf Coins or 1 credits!"

"If you place an order now, you will get an extra Taijing Pearl for free! With it, clearing all the gyms is no longer just an unattainable dream! Hurry up and take action, students. Opportunities are rare. If you miss today, you may never have such a good opportunity again!"

Tai Crystal Orb: A gem containing the power of crystal. After charging, it can make Pokémon Tai Crystallize.

The mixed-race student with dazzling blond hair shouted at the top of his lungs while waving the Taijing Pearl in his hand vigorously to attract the attention of people around him.

However, even though he was shouting until his mouth was dry, most of the students watching still looked hesitant, as if they still had many concerns in their hearts.

Seeing this, the blond student paused for a moment, his eyes rolled around, and then he suddenly raised his hand, slapped his chest hard a few times, and then shouted at the top of his voice with a sincere and confident look on his face:

"Don't worry, fellow students. My reputation in school is well known to all! Just ask around and you'll find out that I'm the most conscientious person on this street. I definitely don't sell fakes."

"And I solemnly promise here that if I find any fakes, I will compensate you ten times the price! So, fellow students, if you do business with me, you will definitely make money!"

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of several students began to waver. Wu Liang caught this with his sharp eyes, and was secretly delighted. He immediately struck while the iron was hot and continued to persuade them:

"Juniors, you are going to complete your winter vacation projects, right? It's too hard. Let's do some work, seniors. Whichever one you like, I'll give you a 20% discount! I wish you a successful start!"

After Wu Liang's continuous sweet talk and solemn assurances, the students who were originally somewhat worried finally put their minds at ease. They all squatted down and began to carefully select the Taijing Stone they liked.

The stall owners at other stalls nearby looked at the scene with helplessness on their faces and couldn't help but shake their heads slightly.

This Old Wu is here to cheat the freshmen again.

But even the school has tacitly acknowledged the existence of fake goods in the hodgepodge area, and they are not interested in interfering, so let Wu Liang teach a lesson to these freshmen who have just been in college for half a year.

When they enter society in the future, these students will deeply realize that the society, this big melting pot, is much more complicated and dangerous than a simple university campus.

Not long after, several students had chosen their favorite Taijing beads and were about to go to Wu Liang to pay the bill. At this moment, a discordant voice suddenly came from the side.

"Wait, there's something wrong with this crystal."

The corner of Wu Liang's mouth, which had just been raised, suddenly froze. He glared at Lin Feng and said unhappily.

"My fellow student, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."

"You said my Taijing Stone is fake. What, do you have any evidence? If you can't explain it clearly, I will ask you for compensation for mental damages and lost wages!"

Facing Wu Liang's aggressiveness, Lin Feng just smiled lightly and responded slowly:

"Haha, I didn't say your Taijing Stone is fake."

When Wu Liang heard this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"That's true..."

However, before he could finish his words, he was ruthlessly interrupted by Lin Feng.

"But they're just disposable props."

As soon as these words were spoken, the students who were watching the fun were all stunned. They looked at each other in surprise.

There are disposable Taijing stones? Isn't this thing something that can be used forever?

Hearing Lin Feng's words, Wu Liang laughed.

"Heh, you said my Taijing Stone is disposable? Have you ever used Taijing Stone? What makes you say that?"

Seeing that Wu Liang was still stubborn, Lin Feng picked up a crystal stone and said calmly:

"Tai Jing Shi is a specialty of the United States, so you may not know much about it. On the one hand, Tai Jing Shi can be obtained by digging through Tai Jing Pit, and on the other hand, it can be obtained by defeating wild Tai Jing Pokémon."

"However, no matter which method is chosen, what you end up with is often just some fragmented pieces of Taijing. Only after a series of extremely tedious and complicated processes such as processing, extraction, and synthesis can the numerous Taijing fragments be combined into a complete and usable Taijing stone."

"Although a single Tai Crystal fragment has a certain level of energy that is enough to support a Pokémon to achieve a short Tai Crystal state, this temporary strengthening effect lasts for a very limited time and is usually difficult to be used twice or more."

Listening to Lin Feng's words, the surrounding students nodded frequently. In contrast, Wu Liang, who was standing aside, became more and more upset.

"And in order to disguise it as Taijing Stone for sale, you even polished the Taijing fragments to look like Taijing Stone. The energy contained in it should be even less. I think it's not enough to fight a full battle."

"But it's not completely fake after all, and the buyer can indeed complete the crystallization. As for the bill from you later, you can find various excuses to shirk it, and it doesn't ruin your reputation of not selling fakes."

Lin Feng played with the pieces of Taijing in his hand and looked at Wu Liang with interest.

"I'm right, right, isn't it, Senior Wu Liang, the most conscientious one?"
