Chapter 65: Psychic Power Vs Money Power
Regarding Drowzee, the thing Lu Li remembered most deeply was the news from seven years ago.
A physical education teacher in the Fusang Region relied on a single Drowzee to forcefully turn reality into a hentai game.
It was said that after the physical education teacher was discovered, he was shot dead on the spot, and the Drowzee was also executed on the spot.
Drowzee’s reputation began to plummet sharply from that moment, after all, netizens in the past rarely viewed any particular Psychic Type Pokémon through colored lenses.
It wasn’t until that Drowzee appeared that people realized Psychic Type Pokémon could be this evil.
After shaking his head, Lu Li curiously took out the Turtle Shell.
“Qiu Yide… and his facial features are… I hope this photo shows his true appearance.” Lu Li thought silently.
Three Ancient Gold Coins fell to the ground, and upon hearing this pleasant sound, Lu Li’s facial expression suddenly changed.
Oh no!
This is coming for me!
Suspecting he had divined incorrectly, Lu Li divined again, and upon confirming it once more, his facial expression darkened.
Just moments ago he had been boasting that everyone he met after coming to this world was good, but some matters really couldn’t withstand mentioning.
The divination showed Great Omen of Misfortune, and it was brought by Qiu Yide, with the time indicated right tonight.
“No wonder when I was brushing my teeth and looking in the mirror this morning, I felt my philtrum was a bit dark.” While suddenly realizing, Lu Li also pondered how to deal with this danger.
As the saying goes, avoid misfortune and seek fortune.
The best way right now is definitely to leave here, which would avoid the misfortune.
But the divination showed a second time that if he didn’t leave, he could avoid misfortune and seek fortune, with Great Omen of Misfortune followed by Great Omen of Good Fortune.
This was easy to understand; probably after preparing in advance, he might be able to take down the opponent and loot the backpack for great benefits.
But the problem is that what he has to face is a Veteran Level Trainer.
As everyone knows, Normal Level and Veteran Level is a clear dividing line, and it’s also uncertain now whether Qiu Yide has only one Psychic Type Pokémon.
Even more deadly is that Psychic Type Pokémon are notoriously difficult to deal with, and the divination showing Great Omen of Misfortune explains everything.
Lu Li, who was both gambling and greedy, had his brain racing at high speed, constantly thinking of countermeasures.
Wait, no!
A spiritual light suddenly flashed in Lu Li’s mind, then he picked up his phone and opened the contacts list.
Calling the police definitely wouldn’t work; that might avoid misfortune, but the subsequent Great Omen of Good Fortune would have nothing to do with him.
“Hey, Lili?” Lu Li asked kindly.
Thinking Lu Li was calling about the recipe, Yu Lili smiled and replied, “Is it about the potion recipe? Don’t worry, this matter is settled.”
“No, I wanted to ask if you’re coming back today?”
“Missing me already so soon?” Yu Lili’s tone carried a bit of delight.
Before, she thought Lu Li felt bored after she left and was just making an excuse to brush her off, but now it seems like this might be true.
“Uh… yeah, I do miss you a bit.” This time Lu Li was telling the truth; he did miss Yu Lili, or more accurately, the bodyguard behind Yu Lili.
“I might not be able to return until tomorrow, because the Speed Activation Potion recipe will arrive tomorrow.”
Lu Li said, “We can pick up the Speed Activation Potion together tomorrow. How about you come back first tonight?”
Yu Lili, unable to suppress the corners of her mouth, said proudly, “Fine! Since you’re begging me, this young lady will graciously come back early.”
“Mm! Hurry back then.”
After hanging up, Lu Li let out a heavy sigh of relief.
Plan successful!
With that Gym Leader-level Bronzong there, even if Qiu Yide is a hidden Elite Trainer, if he comes tonight, he’s done for.
This is the safest method.
Although he was using Yu Lili, this really was the steadiest method he could think of.
After sighing, Lu Li looked at the Ancient Gold Coins on the table with a wry smile: “Who would’ve thought, my biggest cheat is actually divination.”
If he hadn’t divined on a whim today, the consequences would be simply unimaginable.
Without any defense, a Veteran Level Drowzee could absolutely take him out silently.
After hanging up, the impatient Yu Lili shouted loudly, “Mom, I’m heading back first; I’ll handle the recipe tomorrow.”
After Yu Lili finished speaking, she released Bidoof, then rode on Bidoof’s back and left the Gym without looking back.
Jin Fengjiao looked at her daughter’s back, shook her head helplessly, then said to the void, “Bronzong, Lili is in your hands.”
“Dong~”
After a spatial fluctuation, only a pleasant bronze Tackle sound remained in the room.
At Bidoof’s speed, even taking Yu Lili on its back, it took less than 20 minutes from Qingfeng City to Golden Chicken Village.
Just after landing, Yu Lili excitedly shouted, “Lu Li! Quick, let me see the wild Sitou Fruit.”
Sensing that familiar psychic power fluctuation, Lu Li thought to himself, “It’s steady now.”
“Don’t rush, I’ll show you right away.” Lu Li soothed Yu Lili, who seemed to have taken an excitant.
“Hurry, hurry!” Yu Lili’s eyes sparkled as she looked at Lu Li’s Space Backpack.
Given Yu Lili’s family background, she had even seen the rarer Sand Scale Fruit than Sitou Fruit, so normally she shouldn’t be this excited.
But the Sitou Fruit was obtained by Lu Li through wilderness exploration, and for Yu Lili who had longed for secret realm adventures since childhood, this held extraordinary significance.
“Wow~ So this is Sitou Fruit, it looks just like a lychee.” Yu Lili exclaimed.
Lu Li asked in surprise, “You’ve never seen Sitou Fruit?”
Yu Lili shook her head: “No, but I’ve seen Speed Activation Potion.”
Thinking about it, it made sense; the secret realm guarded by Yu Lili’s family had Sand Scale Fruit Trees, and with Sand Scale Fruit available, who would care about Sitou Fruit.
At the same time, a doubt that had troubled Lu Li for a long time was resolved.
No wonder Yu Lili’s Squirtle was so fast; it must be the result of eating a lot of Sand Scale Fruit.
Lu Li once again felt the huge gap between rich and poor.
He had used cheats to strengthen Tropius’s vitality, while Yu Lili directly used money to strengthen Squirtle’s speed.
It was just absurd.
After carefully examining the Sitou Fruit, Yu Lili, whose novelty had worn off, asked, “By the way, the Sand Scale Fruit in the secret realm this year will ripen in half a month. Want to come with me to the secret realm to harvest a few Sand Scale Fruits then?”
“Uh… can I?” Lu Li looked at Yu Lili in some surprise.
Yu Lili nodded casually, “No problem at all. My dad has a transaction with the Overlord of the secret realm, so our Yu Family can harvest ten Sand Scale Fruits in the secret realm each year, though we have to hand over half to the Alliance.”
After saying that, Yu Lili sighed, “It’s a shame our family’s stored Sand Scale Fruits were all eaten by Turtle, otherwise I could’ve brought some over for you.”
Lu Li: “…”
Looking at the stunned Lu Li, the belated Yu Lili counted on her fingers nearby: “You have exactly three Pokémon, one Sand Scale Fruit each for Xiao Lü, Xiao Mei, Xiao Hong, and the rest can go to our family’s Wailmer. Turtle doesn’t need any; it’s no use for it anymore.”
Lu Li: “…”
If a Pokémon no longer benefits from eating Sand Scale Fruit, there are only two possibilities.
Either this Pokémon has become a god-level Champion or above, or it has already eaten 10 Sand Scale Fruits.
In other words, Yu Lili’s Squirtle had already eaten 10 Sand Scale Fruits.
The market price of Sand Scale Fruit is around 10 million, and it’s often in short supply, meaning Yu Lili had spent a billion on her Squirtle.
Damn!
This was the first time Lu Li deeply felt just how wealthy the daughter of this Gym Leader really was.
