Chapter 72 Is your product authentic?
When a large, somewhat unfamiliar, rough hand grasped hers, Mary suddenly felt her heart begin to race, her cheeks flush, and the footsteps of those around her seemed amplified infinitely.
Her brain seemed to have lost its ability to think; she couldn't tell whether the sudden appearance inside her body was excitement or fear.
What are you expecting?
Ralts glanced sideways at Marie, whose eyes were closed and whose pink lips were slightly pursed, then looked at her trainer, opened the box, took out a cookie, and handed it to Morpeko.
Morubek picked up the biscuit without any suspicion and ate it.
"Ugh~"
If I make a mistake, please let Arceus elbow me; I can fight back with Guard instead of making me eat super sour cilantro-filled cookies.
Do you know how much psychological trauma this is for a foodie?
Seeing the adverse reaction on Morpeko, Frog crawled out of its Poké Ball, grabbed the entire cookie box from Ralts, and began to enjoy it.
It's alright, I can give you a quantum micro acid.
She glanced at her trainer again, sighed regretfully, and thought, "Sigh, being love-struck is really something."
Women who are obsessed with beauty are the most pathetic and unlikely to achieve great things in the future.
Wei Xin released his grip: "Alright, can you open your eyes now?"
"Huh?" Mary opened her eyes, looking completely bewildered.
[Is it over already? Was I too nervous? Why didn't I feel anything?]
Sigh, don't slander me out of thin air. She's defaming me! She's defaming me!
Looking down, Mary saw a black magnetic card in her palm.
"This is?"
"The key to dormitory 280. If you need it, you can use it to open the door of dormitory 280 directly." Wei Xin had already copied the magnetic card with his mobile phone.
In other words, this magnetic card is now useless to Wei Xin.
But for Mary, the magnetic card was like an invitation. Wei Xin was inviting her to enter his life, just like when he suddenly entered her life in front of the stall, which had a different meaning.
So, the matter of Pokémon hunters was not mentioned again. Marie held the magnetic card, placed her hand on her chest, looked up at Wei Xin, and smiled from the bottom of her heart without any attempt to hide it.
"Thanks."
"You're welcome. What would you like to eat tonight?" Wei Xin asked.
Do you know why an honest man's 20,000 yuan bag can't win a woman's heart, but a young man with blond hair can make a girl happy all day with a cup of Blizzard Ice Cream for five yuan?
Price is just a cold string of numbers. Donghuang has Chengdu, so it doesn't care about adding one or two zeros. The emotions behind the gift are the paperclip that unlocks a girl's heart.
……
Nighttime, Sinnoh region, Cynthia's villa.
After the girls' party ended and she saw off Karuno and Gadria, Cynthia sat at her computer desk and spent another penny on the Donghuang game on her phone. Then, under the big hand of capital, a white light flashed before her eyes, and she was fully guaranteed a comfortable life.
I couldn't help but wonder.
"Does this gacha pool really have any SSR characters?"
Although her net worth can't compare to someone like Cattleya, a naturally wealthy woman whose fortune could wipe out an entire city in East Asia, she is still quite well-off as the Sinnoh Champion.
But you can't treat me like a pill master, do you think I'm that bad-faced?
I, the champion of Sinnoh, can't put up with this?
Cynthia made up her mind that once she got to the Eastern Empire, she would definitely find an opportunity to beat up the Steel-type Gym Leader of the Eastern Empire, shave his head, and then make him change the drop rate of the gacha pool.
To alleviate her frustration from failing to win the gacha game, Cynthia turned on her computer and opened a shopping platform. For a girl, the only ways to relieve negative emotions are eating and shopping.
However, Cynthia is not interested in clothes and bags; she prefers to buy historical and mythological items, especially ancient books and paintings.
As a result, she frequently visits Donghuang's shopping website. Although nine and a half out of ten antiques bought from Donghuang are fake, Cynthia doesn't care.
the reason is simple.
She doesn't lack money.
"The 'ghostly crafted ball' unearthed in Xi'an? It's all been sold, why are you hanging it up there?"
Cynthia said somewhat indignantly, "Isn't this just making people jealous?"
"What does it mean when the ancient people of Donghuang used a sacrificial cauldron that grew legs and ran away in a state of extreme anger?"
What happened to the promise that Donghuang's quality is trustworthy?
I believe you, but you deny it, right?
After browsing through a bunch of unreliable vendors for a long time, a newly opened store finally caught Hirona's attention. Unlike other stores that had a huge variety of antique products, like a mother hen selling antiques, and even wholesale options, this store only had one item.
It's like browsing an antique street. If an old man dressed in ancient costume has a pile of things in front of him, it's very likely that none of them are genuine. He offers to buy everything for 500 yuan, and the merchant makes a meager profit of 450 yuan.
But if an amateur wearing shorts and a short-sleeved shirt, with only one item in front of them, the situation is quite different.
Could it be something passed down from our ancestors?
The antique painting was initially advertised as 30,000, but later it was said that the price was negotiable. Clearly, the 30,000 price was just a lure to a few people. Could it be that it's genuine?
The following introduction cites classical texts, including the Classic of Mountains and Seas, which seems to be a legend from the Donghuang region. In the archaeological community, it is known as the earliest Pokémon Pokédex.
Unfortunately, it has long been lost, and only scattered fragments can be found in the ruins.
Below this is a long string of ancient Donghuang language, along with annotations and analysis, as if they were afraid the seller wouldn't understand or recognize the value of the goods, presented with reason and evidence.
Could it be that a leading figure in the archaeological field of Donghuang has emerged from seclusion?
Did I really find a treasure?
Who cares? I'm not short of money anyway.
Let's talk to the merchant first.
On the other hand, let's talk about Lusamine.
After a busy day, Rosamund finally remembered Lillie's enrollment in school and decided to personally pick out a gift for her long-lost daughter from the website.
Before she knew it, she had entered the Pokémon section, specifically the special Pokémon category, which was full of rare and exotic creatures. Although nine out of ten of them were fictional and mostly created to attract attention, and some were even flawed Pokémon, she wasn't interested in them.
There were also some oddly shaped stones, Pokémon eggs of unknown species, and some rare Pokémon clues.
Until I saw a string of text that someone had forwarded, from under a merchant's product.
The ferocious beast Taotie was insatiably hungry and never stopped eating; it devoured mountains, seas, the sun, and the moon.
This description reminded Lusamine of the Pokédex left by her parents, which recorded a type of Pokémon called Ultra Beasts that lived in other worlds, and the description of Guzzlord, the most ferocious and dangerous of the Ultra Beasts.
"interesting."
After some effort, Lusamine finally found the merchant.
"Thirty thousand, that's so cheap."
Is your product guaranteed authentic?
Who cares? I'm not short of money anyway.
Out of curiosity, Lusamine clicked on the merchant's private message.
……
Donghuang, Shanghai, Shanghai University dormitory.
After dinner, the delinquent frog took Ralts to the yard for skill training. Marie hummed a little tune and happily cleaned up in the kitchen, not even noticing that what she was using to wipe the dishes wasn't a sponge, but a sleeping Morpeko.
While wiping the plates, they made a squeaking sound.
The long-haired troll was disheartened because he had once again succumbed to his desires. "Why can't I control my mouth?" he said.
So, he started lifting weights like a madman.
If you eat too much food, then practice. As long as you don't die from practicing, practice like crazy.
Wei Xin sat in front of the computer and started typing away. Now that he had signed a contract, he was an author. Just to be on the safe side, he would write a million words of drafts first.
Half an hour later, Wei Xin held his phone, checking if anyone had bought the paintings he had listed online.
"Nobody's here yet. Is the price too high?"
Just as Wei Xin was about to halve the price, a text message popped up in the account's private messages.
Sinnoh Champion Cynthia has sent you a message.
