Chapter 7's special abilities are Divine Grace and Super Luck!
As Zhu Suihan headed towards the Rocket Building, the messenger bird perched on his shoulder, eating and drinking, seemed oblivious.
According to his own trainer, this is an old popsicle whose very existence is so insulting that calling him a country bumpkin is an insult to the word. It's normal for him to be interested in modern facilities.
The probability of being lured by various male figures is even higher than that of the elderly.
"The Rocket Building, it's really impressive."
The arcade I was looking for had all been moved to a floor in a building, which had become a highly integrated commercial building.
With a hum, the automatic door opened. Before even the messenger bird could react, a group of men and women in black suits rushed over and fired small ceremonial cannons at Zhu Suihan.
Bang bang bang!
"Congratulations, guest! You are the 1,000th visitor to our Rocket Building this morning!"
Zhu Suihan:?
That's such an old-fashioned promotional tactic; I almost forgot such a thing even existed.
The man in the black suit, beaming, said, "Congratulations on winning the grand prize of one million yuan, plus a rocket suit personally signed by Master Sakaki!"
Zhu Suihan was silent for a moment: "Sir, I have a question."
"I'm here to sell something."
Black suit manager: ?
"Sir, you're here to sell something to our Rocket Group?!"
Zhu Suihan nodded: "I saw your Rocket Group's GG when I came here, so you should have similar services, right?"
The manager asked curiously, "I don't know what you want to sell. If it's resources like berries or evolution stones, I suggest you sell to the Alliance official; their purchase price is much higher than ours."
"No, it's a mechanical blueprint."
Zhu Suihan said, "Wait a moment, I'll go throw the packaging bag into the trash can."
The messenger bird took flight and guided Zhu Suihan to the vicinity of the trash can.
A limit of one million is interesting. It seems I can finally put many of the things I want to buy into my mind.
Zhu Suihan threw the packaging bag into the trash can and then fell silent.
What did he see?
The manager was startled when he saw Zhu Suihan reach into the trash can.
Oh no, this guy might be mentally unstable!
We need to request a Psychic Pokémon from the back office to assist with the treatment!
"Um, you might be interested in this."
Zhu Suihan handed over a beautifully packaged box containing a finely polished blue stone.
"This is."
The manager was dumbfounded: "Water Stone?!"
The familiar letters on the packaging suggest this is a product from the group, and one that has only recently been sold!
"Hmm, I guess some idiot dropped it by accident. Keep it safe, you'll probably see a big grudge coming looking for it later."
It's likely that the shopping bag was mistaken for a trash bag, which is why this kind of problem is most likely to occur in large commercial buildings with food courts.
The manager couldn't help but look Zhu Suihan up and down: "Do you... have a scavenging ability?"
This was obviously a joke, but the other person's luck was indeed a bit outrageous.
Not to mention the lucky guests, who can find a Water Stone even when throwing away trash.
If this was a customer being robbed in the mall, then it is indeed a problem with the Rocket Group.
But if it's the customer's own brain malfunction, then no one else is to blame.
"I don't have the pickup trait."
Zhu Suihan said, "Can you decide which blueprint I want to sell? I can give you half of it for comparison and reference."
"Um, could you please give me some time to give feedback?"
The manager waved his hand, and the employees behind him led Zhu Suihan to the VIP lounge, and instructed their subordinates to expedite the process of obtaining a shopping card with a limit of one million yuan.
Regardless, the lucky guest will definitely receive a reward.
Half an hour later, the manager rushed into the break room excitedly, holding the blueprints in his hand.
"Sir, no, sir/madam researcher, what should I call you?"
"Bamboo Suihan."
The manager nodded: "Mr. Zhu Suihan, the head of our technical department would like to speak with you."
"Minister of Technology?"
Is it possible to connect directly with higher-ups, or is there some lucky guest with special privileges?
The manager said with some pride, "Yes, our head of the technical department, I'm sure you've heard of him."
A strange feeling suddenly arose in Zhu Suihan's heart.
It can't be.
"Lt. Surge, the Gym Leader of Vermilion City!"
The video call screen lit up, and Maszem's large face was pressed directly against the screen.
"Hey, is this the researcher you're looking for? Interested in getting to know our Rocket Group's single young women?"
Zhu Suihan's face darkened: "Excuse me, Mr. Ma Zhishi, we're here to talk about money. Please act normal."
"Oh, sorry, let's get back to the main topic."
Maslow became serious and decisive: "Your blueprints for that battery are very good. Name your price."
Zhu Suihan simply asked, "How much can you offer?"
He just needed to scrape together some money temporarily, and besides, these weren't some particularly valuable blueprints; they were simply technological innovations.
Mascherano was taken aback: "Hmm, so that's the type of research you've been focusing on. I've looked at your drawings, and to be honest, the scale is a bit small. The valuable part lies in the concepts and mechanical structures."
"Your blueprints are designed to be a battery for small Pokémon. If I were to take over, I would modify it into a super battery that can also be used by large Pokémon."
"The structural stability and safety are its greatest advantages, and it can even be used to modify some facilities that pose electrical hazards."
Lt. Surge patted Raichu beside him: "Modify it into a Pokémon like Electivire or Electivire that can be used by multiple Pokémon."
"Oh, perhaps you don't know what Electivire is. It's the evolved form of Electivire, and when fully charged, it can power the city for one or two days."
Zhu Suihan pressed his temples: "Alright, Master of the Kuye Gym, let's talk about the price. I don't doubt your expertise, but I'm not an expert in your field either."
"Haha, sorry, I got a little excited."
Mascher grinned: "You are a lucky customer of our group, and I also need your help. I am willing to buy the complete blueprints for five million, but of course you can enjoy the subsequent profits in the form of a share."
I need to review the contents of this drawing again, and even invest resources to improve and research it, but business can't be viewed that way.
After he finishes studying the blueprints and makes improvements, whether he uses them for technological innovation or keeps them within the group as exclusive supplies, the returns will be very high.
Buying a blueprint that doesn't even have experimental data reports or a prototype for five million can only mean that M. Surge's main goal is to make friends.
People who enjoy research might pull something good out of their pockets at any time, so you have to build a good relationship with them.
Moreover, given the size of the Rocket Group today, it's not worth being stingy in this kind of thing. In fact, being stingy in this kind of thing would be foolish. Maszeitung, who has a wealth of life experience, would never do that.
It's just a small expense, the kind that goes through the company account and doesn't even need to be reported to the boss.
"A reasonable price."
I don't care about the price, as long as it's enough for me for a while, I can't keep using the "pocket money" given to me by Professor Oak and Professor Plum.
Economic independence is a crucial prerequisite for embarking on this journey.
"Haha, what a generous attitude! We should get along very well."
Maszell laughed heartily: "However, young man, you have a kind of unkempt beauty that you have in research institutes. I suggest you take better care of yourself."
The manager immediately understood: "There's a shop in the building owned by a famous stylist. I'll take the client there right now."
"Okay, it's all yours now. Payment will be made immediately."
Lt. Surge ended the video call, leaned back in his seat with practiced ease, took a leisurely sip of his coffee, and gently rubbed Raichu's head with his other hand.
This is the life of a minister! Sitting at his desk, performance results come from nowhere.
"You seem very happy?"
Mascher's hand trembled, and he almost spilled coffee on his uniform.
"Naza, please say hello before entering my office next time. This isn't how you use the ability of a superhuman to appear and disappear without a trace."
"Feel sorry."
The man with long, straight black hair gave a perfunctory reply without any expression, then looked at the scanned documents on his desk.
"This is the storage device you were talking about?"
Maslow asked, somewhat surprised, "You heard that? What documents do you need me to approve?"
"Not really, it's my time to rest now, just letting fate take its course."
Naza picked it up and glanced at it: "Hmm, it's very good for you, and it'll be very good for the whole group too."
"Thank you for your kind words."
Lt. Surge grinned. As a powerful psychic, Sabrina's words were quite reliable.
This month's performance, no, this half a year's performance, might all be achieved in one go!
At the Rocket Building, Zhu Suihan was still strolling around, with two cards in his pocket: a shopping card for a lucky customer and "payment" from Ma Zhishi.
The manager accompanying him kept wiping away sweat.
As a valued guest, Zhu Suihan will certainly not have to pay for today's expenses himself.
However, there is a problem.
The sounds of celebration and congratulations rang out again, and the shopkeeper handed Zhu Suihan the special grand prize from the stall with a smile. It was a basic Eevee evolution stone set.
Water, Fire, and Lightning Evolution Stones.
Zhu Suihan glanced at the manager: "This is a legitimate business transaction between us. You don't need to try to curry favor with me like this."
The manager felt like he was about to shake his head off: "No, sir, please let me explain!"
He really didn't try to curry favor with Zhu Suihan!
Throughout this journey, whenever there was a prize draw at a store, the grand prize always went to Zhu Suihan!
"Pele".
The messenger bird scratched its head, beginning to doubt Zhu Suihan's true identity.
His small package had been transformed into a large suitcase, stretched beyond recognition, and was stuffed with all sorts of large gifts.
The messenger bird suspects that the old popsicle in front of him is actually Togepi in human form, and he even has evidence.
Behind them, besides the manager, there was a small group of busybodies following behind, either to absorb their good fortune or to admire this living, breathing super lucky star.
From the manager's perspective, this behavior is a great way to boost sales.
However, from a personal perspective, the manager felt a chill run down his spine and was also vaguely jealous, which was the normal jealousy of a traditionally unlucky person towards a lucky one.
If you won the grand prize, that's fine; just consider it a stroke of good luck.
Not missing a single one is a bit too much!
