So charming, you want me to raise Pokémon?

Chapter 248 The Money-Grubbing Spirit and Mr. Zombie

Lillie watched Wei Xin's light dog-paddle, without making a sound, as he swam to the clothes, aimed at the creature quietly wriggling inside, and slowly stretched out her hand, placing it at its limit.

The creature inside the clothes seemed to sense something and stopped moving instantly.

Aiming at the bottom of the clothes, I launched my arm and grabbed it.

The creature inside the clothes made a terrified sound, thrashing about until it finally found the spot between Wei Xin's thumb and forefinger and opened its mouth.

"Hiss~" Wei Xin frowned, his expression contorted. This little thing really hurt when it bites.

He quickly switched hands, wrapped his clothes around them, and swung his arms violently.

The windmill creaked and groaned as it spun until the creature inside was dizzy and disoriented. It then gripped the creature's body tightly and peeled away its layers like a banana peel.

A money-seeking spirit in walking form appeared in Wei Xin's hand.

Most Moneyhounds are born in treasure chests or coins that are over 1500 years old. They are very cautious and will run away as soon as they sense someone approaching, so very few trainers have successfully caught them, making them extremely rare Pokémon.

In order to evolve into a super-rich tycoon, it will stop at nothing to collect special coins, even absorbing the life force of others, and using ghost energy to control those who approach it.

The money-seeking spirit regained consciousness and met Wei Xin's gaze. The antenna on its head spun, emitting strange ghostly energy that collided with Wei Xin.

A chill ran through me.

The next second, Wei Xin's enhanced heart erupted with powerful and fiery life force, burning away the invading ghost energy.

It is the power of Ho-Oh.

The money-seeking spirit was dumbfounded. He refused to believe it and tried again and again, but the result was always the same: the humans in front of him were not only immune to his abilities, but also completely restrained by them.

Oh no, we're doomed!

"Have you had enough fun?" Wei Xin pursed his lips into a W shape, examining the little thing in his hand with great interest. As if by magic, he gently rubbed his other hand, and a golden coin emerged from between his fingers.

"Is this what you're looking for?"

The two antennae on the head of the money-seeking spirit instantly stood upright.

He nodded repeatedly, twisted his body, and showed a fawning smile.

This kid isn't stupid!

Wei Xin placed the money-gathering spirit on the ground and suspended the gold coins above its head. The money-gathering spirit jumped up, but found it couldn't reach them, and stomped its feet in anger.

Are you trying to make fun of me?

Wei Xin grabbed Suo Cailing by the back of the neck, lifted him up, and, as if playing with him, propped his chin on his hand: "How many gold coins have you collected now?"

The money spirit snorted, crossed its arms, and ignored the human in front of it.

"Then let me ask you a different question: Do you want to evolve into a super-rich person?"

In a word.

This greatly piqued the interest of the money-seeking spirit.

Want to evolve into a super-rich person?

Of course I want to! I dream about it all the time.

He painstakingly collected gold coins so that one day he could have a body made of gold.

"What if I told you I could help you evolve into a rich man?" Wei Xin weighed the pros and cons with Suo Cai Ling, word by word. "If you want to evolve into a rich man, you need 999 coins, but the number of Laurel Gold Coins is limited. With your short legs, by the time you cross mountains and valleys, the Laurel Gold Coins might have already been used up."

""

Suo Cailing shuddered, suddenly feeling that his future was bleak.

"But I can send people to help you find it," Wei Xin flipped the money-collecting spirit over, facing the empty island. "This entire island belongs to me, and the people and wealth on it also belong to me. In other words, I have enough manpower to find gold coins dozens or hundreds of times faster than you. Moreover, I can cross oceans and take you to other regions to find gold coins. I can even have people carry the gold coins to your hands."

The Money-Seeking Spirit blinked, imagining himself sitting atop a mountain of gold coins, enjoying the attention and worship of the world, casually scattering coins around.

The gaze directed at Wei Xin was no longer that of a human being requiring vigilance; instead, it was that of someone envisioning a great future for him.

Wei Xin put the money-gathering spirit down and placed the gold coins on the ground: "So, choose now. Are you willing to be an unknown person, living a mediocre life while watching others shine, or are you willing to gamble your life for wealth and glory that belongs only to you?"

Still need to ask?

The money spirit's hands trembled slightly as it held the gold coins. It lowered its head and raised them above its head.

Then there is only one answer: Respected Godfather, I will swear allegiance to you!

"Alright, I accept your loyalty and return your wealth," Wei Xin pressed the gold coins into the money-gathering spirit's arms. "Afterwards, I will be waiting for you at the camp."

Carrying the gold coins on his back, the money-grubbing spirit left with loyal steps and high spirits.

Wei Xin retreated back into the hot spring, satisfied, and hugged Lillie to warm himself up.

Soft and fragrant.

"You actually subdued the Money-Gathering Spirit just like that?" Lillie couldn't believe that Wei Xin had subdued the Money-Gathering Spirit with just a few words. And judging from the look in its eyes when it left, it was willing to go through fire and water for him. If it could speak human language, it would definitely kneel down and call him godfather. "How did you do that?"

There's an old saying in Donghuang: "Speak human language to humans, and ghost language to ghosts." It's that simple.

Wei Xin wasn't worried about the money-seeking spirit escaping. He conducted a thorough search of the entire island, while the laurel flowers and gold coins waited patiently. The power of the waveguide could also give the money-seeking spirit unexpected surprises.

"Then what did you say to me?"

"It depends on what you want to hear when you get back."

"I want to hear you whisper sweet nothings in my ear!" Lillie turned around, affectionately hugged Wei Xin's neck, and delivered a direct shot that hit Wei Xin squarely in the chest.

What to do when she's too good at it?

What else can we do? We'll just have to do it.

"Get up and get dressed quickly, or you'll get dizzy from soaking in the water, and you might catch a cold."

The group returned to the camp. Stars hung in the sky, the evening breeze blew through the forest, and the chirping of insects was mixed with familiar and melodious songs.

After the excitement, the exhausted group returned to their rooms.

Steven hugged Taleborg, Korrina hugged Lucario, Cynthia hugged a huge plush Rayquaza body pillow, Rukia used Altaria feathers as a pillow, and Karni shared her experiences on the island with Cynthia, who was grading students' homework in the Eastern Empire and was curious about why the homework had such a high plagiarism rate.

But she didn't dare turn on her voice, because she could hear faint groans coming from next door.

The house clearly uses soundproofing materials.

The group spent a sweet night on the island.

Meanwhile, in Donghuang and Xiangxi, a thunderous roar erupted!

Cai Dou punched a passerby who rushed towards her in the face. She controlled her strength very well. The person who attacked her and Marie was only deformed and fell into a coma.

"That's really strange!" Aya clicked her tongue, her muscles tensing and her fists clenching so tightly they cracked. "There have been quite a few attacks at night these past few days."

From the moment they entered the city, they heard news of attacks at night from time to time, and it seemed that the number was increasing over time.

"It makes me feel uncomfortable—" Mary felt a chill run down her spine, but also a strange sense of familiarity. She glanced at Aya's fist and said, "Aya, your hand is cut."

There was a noticeable scratch on the hard fist, covered in green liquid.

-

"Hey! Does this person not brush their teeth?" Rainbow Bean flicked the liquid off her fist in disgust. "It's okay, no broken skin. Let's take them to Officer Jenny to report—"

Only then did Aya realize that the attacker who had been lying on the ground had disappeared.

In the gloomy night sky, thunder rumbled from time to time, drowning out screams. In western Hunan at night, passersby would occasionally hear footsteps and figures moving up and down with their arms outstretched, passing through the walls. The streets were shrouded in an inexplicable and eerie atmosphere.
