Chapter 138 Ice Radish, King of Abundance, and Li Luochen's Ambitions!
This plant is a radish.
It is entirely blue, radiating the essence of ice.
【Item: Ice Radish】
[Note: Growing in fields covered in snow, this is a crop favored by the King of Abundance's beloved horse.]
That's right, the ivory pig gave him the ice radish!
Ice Radish that can summon a Snowstorm Horse!
only……
Giving a Dragon-type trainer an item to summon an Ice-type legendary Pokémon feels somewhat strange.
Ok……
The problem is not big.
"But speaking of which, what's the story behind this radish? It's a bit outrageous that it could be planted here."
Li Luochen waved the iced radish in his hand and asked the tusked pig curiously.
The King of Abundance, also known as the Crowned King.
That's a legendary Pokémon from the Galar region, a legendary Pokémon, and a noble DLC Pokémon.
But this ice radish actually appeared in the secret realm of Rongcheng...
That's a bit unreasonable, isn't it?
"Mammon." (Well... it's a seed that came with a spatial rift a few years ago. We didn't know what it was at the time. We only found out it was a radish containing a huge amount of ice elemental essence when we dug it up.)
The ivory pig wasn't lying.
It really is just as I said.
This ice radish was originally a seed, and its vitality in this icy and snowy environment is still quite strong.
Most other seeds cannot be planted in this extreme weather, but the seeds of this ice radish can grow vigorously.
This kind of thing takes several years.
As they watched so much time pass, they wondered if it might be some kind of treasure that would be very useful to Pokémon.
As for the result...
Yes, it exists, but its actual effect is probably not as good as absorbing an ice gem.
It's truly tasteless to eat, but a pity to throw away.
Therefore, seeing that Li Luochen wanted to take over, they certainly wouldn't let go of the idea of ripping off the "sucker".
On the other hand, Li Luochen was overjoyed.
As long as you can bring Ice Radish to the Galar region, and take a trip to the Crown Snowfield, you're guaranteed to get a level 2 god.
This ice radish is a historical crop, and no one grows it now.
It really did allow me to get a bargain.
Besides, the resources he promised to provide only cost the price of an energy cube.
The rest of the resources were all scavenged from the secret realm, not extracted from the dojo's special fund, so it's not a loss.
Rounding it up, this is how you exchange a few energy cubes for a chance to subdue a level 2 god – that's a huge win!
Both sides felt they had gotten a great deal, and the subsequent conversation became much more relaxed.
Li Luochen sat there for a full three hours. Seeing that it was getting late, he waved goodbye to the group of Pokémon leaders.
"Since the amount of energy cubes is quite large, I will pay in three installments. I will have someone deliver the first month's amount the day after tomorrow at noon."
Crafting Power Cubes takes time, and the gym doesn't have much in stock, but luckily there are raw materials.
We'll start processing a batch tonight, and after finishing the battle with N tomorrow, we'll process a little more. That should be enough to meet the needs for the first month.
Upon hearing this, all the Pokémon readily agreed.
Without a word, they immediately acted as Li Luochen's bodyguards, escorting him all the way to the evacuation point before watching this wealthy patron return to his original world.
Donghuang area, Rongcheng University, evening.
The dim afterglow of the setting sun bathed the earth. Ye Tian paced back and forth at the entrance to the secret realm, his anxious expression undisguised, as if he were worried about the situation inside.
"Hopefully Luo Chen will go easy on him and not ransack the entire secret realm..."
Ye Tian's concerns were not unfounded.
Li Luochen is known as "the one who plucks feathers from a passing goose and leaves skins on a departing beast." Every time he enters a secret realm, he always manages to maintain a profit of millions upon exiting.
Unless, of course, it is within a secret realm under one's own jurisdiction.
Otherwise, the secret realm would definitely suffer a huge financial loss.
"Hey, do I look like the kind of person who would go around damaging the school's secret areas?"
Li Luochen leaned out halfway and gave Ye Tian a disapproving look.
He had just come out when he heard Ye Tian making fun of him, and said irritably, "At most, I only plunder the land each time. I haven't touched any of the raw minerals deep in the secret realm. Besides, I only took a little bit this time, so it didn't cause any major economic losses."
"Really? It can't be just a tiny bit, can it?"
Ye Tian remained skeptical.
There's nothing we can do about it; Li Luochen's reputation in the secret realm hasn't been very good.
"Hey, why don't you just take a look for yourself?"
Li Luochen walked out of the secret realm, tossed his backpack to Ye Tian, and held the ice radish in his hand.
"Wow, it really is."
Ye Tian weighed the backpack in his hand a few times, but then noticed something was off: "This shouldn't be like you... Oops, what's that super ball on your waist?"
As for the ice radish in Li Luochen's hand, Ye Tian didn't care at all.
If it were truly valuable, given Li Luochen's personality, he would definitely have stuffed it into a safe place.
For example, Li Luochen placed the Charizard Mega Stone X directly on Charizard, maximizing its safety.
"This is from the Eastern Region... ugh, just an ordinary boss, the Styracosaurus. It's merely a pseudo-legendary that can undergo Mega Evolution, nothing to brag about."
Li Luochen took out the Super Ball and sent out the Styracosaurus.
Upon seeing the halberd dragon, which was as tall as a one-story building, Ye Tian nodded without any change in expression.
It's just a pseudo-legendary Pokémon that can Mega Evolve...
Wait, it can super evolve?!
Ye Tian secretly rejoiced that he hadn't been sitting in his office listening to this news; otherwise, he would definitely have ended up spitting out his tea the moment he heard it and was trying to process it…
"Asteriformis... it can Mega Evolve?"
Ye Tian instinctively wanted to refute.
But this was learned from Li Luochen, and this time Li Luochen only took out an ice radish. From the perspective of not losing money, the value must have reached the expected level, which is why he took it out so quickly.
Otherwise, Ye Tian truly believed that Li Luochen would stay until dawn before reluctantly leaving the secret realm.
"This is a video of the battle between the Mega Styracosaurus and Lugia. I think that explains everything, right? If that's not enough, there are also witnesses in the video. You can ask them when they come out."
Li Luochen plugged the adapter into his phone, imported the videos from his album to the USB drive, and then handed it directly to Ye Tian.
He specifically recorded the video during the match.
Demonstrating super evolution live isn't really feasible, since it's their trump card.
Why not just give the USB drive to Ye Tian and let him handle things for me?
This can also be considered as one of the means for Ye Tian to stabilize his position after joining the department.
Li Luochen didn't plan to join the department, but as the saying goes, having more friends means having more options, and letting Ye Tian in would definitely be beneficial for him.
Let's help each other and strive to make the pie bigger.
"call……"
Ye Tian played the video at three times the speed.
After watching it, I couldn't calm down.
If he hadn't quit smoking, he really wanted to smoke a Yellow Crane Tower cigarette right then and there to calm his excited emotions.
That's super evolution...
The profits alone are enough to drive people crazy.
Ye Tian said solemnly, "Luo Chen, if you need anything, just tell me. As long as it's within my power, I will never refuse."
Li Luochen raised an eyebrow. He did indeed have something he needed Ye Tian's help with, and immediately spoke up...
