My elf trainer simulator

Chapter 123 Underground Auction (1645)

"Um……"

Shanmin ate the fried rice, closing his eyes from time to time and concentrating on the recollection. Soon after, he looked at Kashiwagi with a complicated expression, "Learned it from the video recipe?"

"It can't be that Luo sent a chef to Huangtie Town to teach me, right?"

Kashiwagi laughed and looked at him expectantly, "How is it? Are you satisfied?"

"..."

The noble young man took a sip of water to clean his mouth and said: "To be honest, this is no longer a question of dissatisfaction. If I hadn't met you in Huangtie Town, I would definitely have thought that you were Locomoco's apprentice."

His decisive tone made Kashiwagi laugh in surprise, "Is it so great?"

"It's great. Whenever I'm free from now on, you'll take care of my three meals a day."

Shanmin said this first, then turned to look at the wall, "Although I really want to say this, it's a pity that this place is only open for three hours. And it's not very well-known, so I'll go through someone in your team. A senior executive learned about it.”

Someone high up?

Maybe it's someone from the Jing Group. They have always been the external public relations team of the Quicksand Team.

Kashiwagi replied: "The current reputation is actually enough. After all, I only open for three hours a day, and the customer base is already saturated. Unless I raise the price again, I will probably be too busy."

"Then raise the price. Your current price is not worthy of your cooking skills. If you don't raise the price, do you still want to benefit the masses? The masses can't afford your current price, so just raise it by two levels."

He was very knowledgeable and helpful in giving advice, "This way you can make more money while ensuring that the number of customers won't burden you."

"It seems indeed..."

"Don't think too much. The news that I came to eat at your place today will soon reach the ears of the mayor and more people. Your restaurant will become popular."

"this!"

Kashiwagi was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Shanmin's status was even more exaggerated than he had guessed. Just coming to eat at his place would make his shop popular.

"I really don't know how to thank you." He looked at the other person gratefully, but he was wary in his heart.

There is no love or hate for no reason in the world. Shanmin first gave him a comforting bell, and then came to take care of his business. Who would believe that there was nothing fishy about it.

Shanmin seemed to know that he was afraid, and smiled and said: "It's just a small matter. When you get outside, you will understand that it is normal to help each other without asking for anything in return. Even if your status is as noble as a champion, you will accept it without hesitation." A challenge from a novice trainer, or a helping hand.

"Their magnanimity cannot be compared with the people in Huangtie Town. You can always trust every one of them - Huangtie Town is really not suitable for you. It will only drag a proud man like you into a dirty pit." .”

Started again, started praising him again.

Kashiwagi blushed when he heard it, but Yamamin could praise him very straightforwardly - in my memory, most of the characters in the anime seemed to be like this, and they would not hesitate to show their appreciation when they encountered something that impressed them.

So it’s really just about taking a fancy to him instead of having any purpose?

It is essential to be on guard against others, so be vigilant.

“Thanks for the wonderful meal.”

Shanmin stood up and prepared to pay.

But Kashiwagi decisively refused, "I'm treating you to this meal. If you take such good care of me, there's no reason why you have to pay for every meal - from now on, I'll treat you to meals when you come."

"Isn't this not good?"

"There's nothing wrong with it. I just want to make you my friend - of course, the premise is that you are willing to give me this face."

"friend?"

Shanmin was stunned for a moment, then smiled brightly and said: "I thought we were already here."

"Uh, I made a mistake."

Kashiwagi reluctantly begged for mercy.

after.

The two chatted for a while, until a new customer came to order.

Before leaving, Shanmin told him one more thing, "There will be an underground auction in Dungeon 6 in two days. There may be things or Pokémon that you are interested in. You might as well participate."

"auctions?"

"Yes, it is a members-only auction that is difficult for ordinary people to enter. But I just received the invitation letter. If you don't mind, I will take you. Are you short of Pokémon?"

"……do not mind!"

"Then I'll come here to see you the day after tomorrow. I won't leave for now." Shanmin said and left.

Kashiwagi was in the kitchen digesting what he just said.

If he guessed correctly, Shanmin's main purpose of coming here this time was to invite him to participate in the auction.

court? An olive branch?

Or maybe you have other plans?

No matter which option, Kashiwagi would not be able to refuse easily, because the auction is most likely the place where he can obtain new Pokémon. But to be honest, this kind of place... will only raise the price of Pokémon or other things to a price that is not what it deserves.

Is ten million enough?

He seemed to have foreseen the scene in which the thirty million he had just received would disappear in the wind.

It would be great if I could buy it for zero yuan.

Kashiwagi inevitably had some unrealistic fantasies, but he didn't know what effect the wooden sign had - maybe it was as deceptive as the iron ingot.

The original Cocodola had no interest in iron ingots at all.

——

In a blink of an eye.

The day of the auction arrived.

Shanmin came to the store as promised, and Kashiwagi closed the store upon seeing this.

"If you don't mind, take my car."

He pointed to a dusty suspended SUV outside.

Kashiwagi was a little surprised, "Your car?"

"Yes, this is the car that is most suitable for the environment of Huangtie Town. It is much better than some sports cars and cars. I am not good at motorcycles." He explained while opening the door of the cab.

Kashiwagi walked around to the passenger seat, and just as he was about to sit in, he saw a strange sight coming from the back seat.

Immediately, a golden-haired humanoid fox-faced Pokémon was revealed. It was wearing strange brown armor, like a wise old man.

"Hu Di?"

"My ace Pokémon, I didn't bring it out to fight you last time. If I have a chance, I wouldn't mind fighting again. Your strength has improved now, right?"

Shanmin started the car, turned his head and smiled.

"Okay, I'm looking forward to it." Kashiwagi nodded.

This person's strength is ranked among the best in the entire Huangtie Town. Whenever he can be defeated, he will be able to walk sideways in Huangtie Town.

On the way.

The two chatted about nothing.

“I’ll take the liberty of asking, how many conventions have you attended?”

"Contest? I participated in four conferences, the Silver Conference in Johto, the Aiyu Conference in Hoenn, the Suzuran Conference in Sinnoh, and the Miare Conference in Kalos. The results were not good, the top 16, the semi-finals, Final four and runner-up.”

"This...is this already strong?"

"If you can't win, you can't participate in the Champions League. If you can't participate in the Champions League, you can't challenge the Four Heavenly Kings or have the champion take their place, so runner-up is meaningless."

Shanmin smiled at Kashiwagi, "We're here, get ready to get off."

The latter looked up and found that they had arrived at a certain underground city at some point, and a huge, lonely building appeared in front of them.

The two found a place to park the car and walked in through the main entrance, which was the only light.

Not long after.

A huge banquet hall with many sofas arranged neatly came into view, and at the end of the sight was a bright stage with spotlights, and many staff were busy around it.

When they arrived, many other invitees had already arrived.
