Chapter 263: When A Microtransaction Player Meets A Cheater
This is the importance of first impressions. Is Liu Li a good person?
Or put a question mark on it.
Liu Li helps Yu Zhonggang manage such a huge black market. A person who is active in the black zone and is even the controller—how could they possibly be a good person?
But in Lu Li’s view, Liu Li is better than Jin Fengjiao.
“No need, I have the Yao Museum Master’s Pokémon with me.” Lu Li casually made up an excuse.
This is a lie.
The strongest on him are Tropius and Milotic, but if he really encounters a Gym Level Pokémon, Lu Li isn’t afraid at all.
With the boost of spiritual energy, Tropius’s combat power can absolutely match Gym Level Pokémon. Although Tropius doesn’t have Mega Evolution, it has Fairy Transformation.
Seeing this, Liu Li didn’t advise too much.
Aunt Fengjiao nearby listened and was even more envious to death in her heart.
This kid has too good luck with women, and the women he knows help him tremendously. The most outrageous thing is that those women are willing to help him.
Liu Li goes without saying. Yao Yifei is a Gym Leader, and one with extremely high talent at that. Then there’s Fairy Heavenly King Qu Suxin, who is a Title Heavenly King with Champion Level strength.
And Ekaterina. It’s said that she is now the Empress of the Extreme Ice Empire.
Any one of these three would make others envious. Yet this little guy is hugging three big thighs at once.
“Why doesn’t my Lili have such good luck? Arceus is unfair!” Jin Fengjiao sighed in her heart.
Lu Li didn’t know her thoughts, otherwise he would definitely seriously tell this lady that only by being excellent oneself can one attract powerful opposite sex.
A lunch where everyone had their own thoughts ended quickly. As the hostess, Jin Fengjiao seemed more like an outsider at this moment, but Jin Fengjiao wasn’t angry and always kept a smiling face nearby.
The main reason Lu Li chatted so much with Liu Li was to poach her.
He still had two batches of Starter Pokémon being raised at the Qu Family. In the future, his own family would definitely need to recruit breeders, and Liu Li was obviously the best target.
After bidding farewell to Jin Fengjiao and Liu Li, Lu Li took a taxi to the secret realm.
After Lu Li left, Jin Fengjiao sincerely praised, “This child is truly a hidden dragon.”
Liu Li smiled and retorted, “Lili is no worse.”
Hearing this, Jin Fengjiao felt much better in her heart.
Yes! Lili is no worse! She had no need to compare Lili to a freak like Lu Li.
After comforting herself in her heart, Jin Fengjiao then asked, “Did that little guy really go to the secret realm just for training?”
“I don’t know, and I don’t want to know.” Liu Li shook her head.
From her experience managing the black market, some curiosity should not be had, and there’s no need for it.
“By the way, what gift did that little guy give? I haven’t looked yet.” Jin Fengjiao, who had reacted, quickly called for the maid.
After Jin Fengjiao curiously opened the gift box, what came into view was a Pokémon egg.
Jin Fengjiao muttered in surprise, “A Pokémon egg?”
Hearing this, Liu Li also curiously came over and carefully observed the Pokémon egg in front of her.
“Eh~”
Liu Li exclaimed, then quickly took out a magnifying glass from her pocket and carefully examined the patterns on the Pokémon egg.
“Strange… how could this be?” Liu Li frowned as she looked at the Pokémon egg in front of her.
Jin Fengjiao next to her nervously asked, “What’s wrong? Is there something strange about this Pokémon egg?”
“It is indeed quite strange.” Liu Li nodded, then muttered to herself in confusion, “How could Lu Li have a Quaxly Pokémon egg?”
After hearing Liu Li’s mutter, Jin Fengjiao couldn’t help but exclaim, “Quaxly?”
Liu Li nodded and explained, “This is a Quaxly Pokémon egg, but Quaquaval is one of the signature Starter Pokémon of the North American Alliance. Moreover, judging from the luster of this Pokémon egg, it is very likely officially bred by the alliance.”
This was also the strangest point for Liu Li.
Quaxly Pokémon eggs are quite rare in the Jiuzhou Region, but they do exist. Some wealthy families with a bit of foundation can find ways to obtain them.
But alliance officially bred Quaxly Pokémon eggs are different. These things generally only appear on the black market, and ordinary wealthy families can only rely on luck to obtain them.
But Lu Li is just an ordinary person with some background. Even if the Fairy Heavenly King appreciates Lu Li very much, she wouldn’t give him a Quaxly Pokémon egg, right?
So there’s only one possibility: Lu Li specifically asked the Fairy Heavenly King for it, and the purpose was probably for Yu Lili.
Thinking of this, Liu Li couldn’t help but praise, “This is really…”
Liu Li didn’t even know how to describe her current mood with words. That child Lu Li was truly grateful and returned the favor.
“After the Pokémon egg hatches, we’ll check the Pokémon’s qualification. If the qualification is high enough, we’ll thank the child properly then.” Liu Li said in an indisputable tone.
Jin Fengjiao nodded decisively. She wasn’t the type to not recognize kindness. Lu Li’s actions did make her feel happy, even ashamed.
………..
“This can be considered a test too.” Lu Li thought to himself while sitting in the car.
The Quaxly Pokémon egg was his trophy from the America Region, with Gym Level initial qualification. If nurtured properly, the qualification could even reach Champion Level.
The Quaxly Pokémon egg was quite suitable for Yu Lili.
Quaquaval is similar to Blaziken; both are famous for physical attack, and both output with their feet. However, Quaquaval doesn’t have a Mega Evolution form, so in the end, Blaziken is superior.
After registering at the secret realm entrance, Lu Li smoothly entered the secret realm.
He remembered the last time he came, Yu Zhonggang had brought him in directly.
After entering the secret realm, Lu Li first took Onix to Onix’s territory, which was its hometown.
There was no baby looking for mommy scene, because Onix’s mother was long gone.
After releasing Onix, Lu Li smiled and patted Onix’s body, saying, “Look, this is your birthplace.”
Onix curiously looked at the surrounding environment and soon lost interest in the place.
The only advantage of this place is that there are plenty of rocks; actually, the ground and rock attribute energy are particularly abundant.
Looking at the uninterested Onix, Lu Li smiled and asked, “Onix, do you want to train here for a while? This environment is quite suitable for you.”
Onix shook its head decisively upon hearing this.
“Rock”
（No, it’s good at home.）
In Onix’s heart, the real home is not here, but in that suburban villa.
There is its farm and companions, and most importantly, the trainer.
“Alright then, if you don’t like it, forget it.” Lu Li smiled and nodded.
It was just a sudden idea of his anyway. After all, the environment here is indeed quite suitable for Onix’s training.
“Lu Li?”
A voice full of surprise sounded from behind.
Hearing the voice, Lu Li turned around curiously and was equally surprised, “Jin Huang? Why are you here?”
“Hehe, clan uncle arranged for me to train here.” Jin Huang scratched the back of his head and explained.
Lu Li nodded. During lunch chat with Jin Fengjiao and the others, Lu Li had learned about Jin Huang’s whereabouts.
That Aunt Fengjiao’s mouth was not very good; in her words, whenever Jin Huang’s name appeared, it was usually accompanied by terms like ungrateful wretch or beast.
Yes, Jin Huang left Qingyun Gym and returned to the Jin Family.
The reason was simple. On one hand, Jin Fengjiao didn’t treat him as family. On the other, Yu Zhonggang had died without even leaving training notes.
Of course this was nonsense, and Jin Huang knew it, so he left.
Jin Fengjiao had her own reasons too. How could such an important thing as trainer notes be given so easily to Jin Huang, an apprentice?
Moreover, Jin Huang already had Yu Zhonggang’s breeding notes, which were enough for the early stage. There was really no need to give more so soon.
In summary, Jin Huang wanted to progress too much, and Jin Fengjiao felt Jin Huang was too impatient.
Lu Li didn’t comment on this.
“Congratulations on winning the Grand Festival championship. I can finally congratulate you in person today.” Jin Huang smiled and congratulated.
“Then your congratulations are too late.” Lu Li also smiled and patted Jin Huang’s shoulder.
Jin Huang asked, “Are you here for Onix’s training field too? I know a good place; I can take you there later.”
Lu Li shook his head, “My Onix isn’t planning to train here. I’m mainly here for training.”
Jin Huang suddenly understood upon hearing this and didn’t ask too much.
“By the way, how about a Pokémon battle?” Jin Huang actively invited.
Classmates reuniting after a long time, Lu Li didn’t want to dampen the mood at this time, “What do you say?”
Jin Huang said, “We both happen to have Onix, and they hatched around the same time. How about a one-on-one between Onix?”
Lu Li gave Jin Huang a strange look, then confirmed, “You’re sure?”
Jin Huang nodded seriously.
“My Onix is Veteran Level. Do you still want to challenge?” Lu Li asked teasingly.
“Veteran Level? How is that possible!” Jin Huang, whose defense was broken, raised his voice several decibels.
With the family’s support, his Onix was Normal Mid-stage. He originally thought he could have a good match with Lu Li.
But the other party’s Onix was already Veteran Level.
What concept is this?
A whole major level gap—this was almost heavenly.
“Then forget it. How about I use Corphish instead?” Jin Huang was determined to battle Lu Li.
“What strength is Corphish now?” Lu Li asked curiously.
Jin Huang: “Normal Mid-stage.”
Lu Li: “…”
“What’s the difference?” Lu Li gave Jin Huang a speechless look.
Jin Huang explained seriously, “There is a difference. Corphish has stronger pressure resistance than Onix.”
“And… Onix being crushed by a same-species same-age Onix would affect its future battle mentality.” Jin Huang added.
Lu Li looked speechlessly at the confident Jin Huang.
Say he knows his limits, but Jin Huang insists on battling him. Say he doesn’t, but Jin Huang also knows to care for Pokémon’s emotions.
“Come on then.”
Lu Li patted Onix.
The quick-witted Onix moved to the open ground.
Jin Huang also eagerly released Corphish.
“Lu Li, please go all out!” Jin Huang requested sincerely.
Lu Li nodded, “Don’t worry, I won’t hold back.”
Holding back would mean disrespecting the opponent. Jin Huang was his classmate after all, so he had to strike hard.
“In that case, we’ll go first!” The high-spirited Jin Huang shouted loudly to Corphish on the field, “Corphish! We use Tackle.”
Corphish charged barbarically straight at Onix.
“Onix, full power Iron Tail!” Lu Li commanded as well.
Onix raised its tail high, and after Corphish approached, it smashed down heavily.
Corphish, smashed into the ground, had scattered consciousness, and eight hundred grass mud horses surged through its heart.
“Is this f*cking an opponent I can beat?” Corphish cursed in its heart as it lost consciousness.
Looking at Corphish that had been slapped underground and hadn’t moved for a long time, Jin Huang shouted anxiously, “Corphish! Are you okay? Get up quickly!”
“Don’t shout, Corphish has probably lost consciousness. Hurry and recall it.” Lu Li reminded helplessly.
Lu Li really didn’t expect the battle to end so hastily.
But thinking about it, it was normal. Onix was a whole major level higher than Corphish, plus the boost from constantly taking pills, and the weight advantage. It wouldn’t be scientific if Corphish could stand up after one Iron Tail from Onix.
Hearing this, Jin Huang awkwardly recalled Corphish.
“Is this the gap in talent? Corphish got one-shot.” Jin Huang thought bitterly in his heart.
Onix had only been born for over thirty days, while Corphish was almost three months old.
Lu Li comforted, “Don’t be discouraged. Your Corphish is quite excellent and should break through to Normal Late Stage soon. I think at most two months.”
Jin Huang’s talent was actually very high, and Corphish’s even more so.
Breaking through to Normal Late Stage in half a year—this talent would be called genius anywhere. If he hadn’t cheated, he might not have beaten Jin Huang.
Jin Huang forced a smile and replied, “No need to comfort me like this. I won’t be discouraged over something like this.”
Lu Li nodded, relieved in his heart.
He was indeed a bit worried that he had gone too hard and shattered the other’s mentality.
In fact, such things were common in this world. Many trainers switched to other professions after being deeply hit.
The grandfather and grandson watching the battle from not far away.
Jin Longyu, who didn’t expect the battle to end so quickly, turned to his grandfather in confusion and asked, “Grandpa, didn’t you say this guy was done for? How did even his Onix become so strong?”
The old man nearby listened, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
This… the old man doesn’t know either! Maybe he cheated?
Recalling over a month ago, he had confidently declared that Lu Li had taken the wrong path and was ruined for life.
Now, the other party used Onix to slap him twice hard, though this face-slapping wasn’t aimed at him.
“Is it popular these days for trainers to take the breeder route?” The Second Elder muttered in his heart.
The old man said seriously, “Grandson, I suspect this guy used a Pokémon Secret Treasure in advance. He’ll regret it in the future.”
To maintain his image in his grandson’s heart, the old man chose to stay stubborn.
Veteran Level in a month and a half—if not from using Pokémon Secret Treasure early? He would be the first to report this little beast for cheating.
