Dr. Uchiki, Wanlian Coins

Chapter 9 Dr. Uchiki, Ten Million Alliance Coins

"Is this the Riolu? This is the first time I've seen it in person. Your dad mentioned it a few days ago, and I was planning to make a special trip to find you. It just so happens that we met today." Uchiki said as he stepped forward to greet the two little ones.

Growlithe and Riolu were fairly cooperative and did not resist.

Xia Mu smiled awkwardly and replied with the words "What a coincidence".

Katsusuke, who was standing to the side, was no fool. He naturally realized that Natsuki and Uchiki knew each other and that their relationship was not ordinary.

"Great, everyone knows each other, that makes things much easier. Natsuki, now you can take out the comet fragment." Katsuki was more concerned about the comet fragment and wanted to see it with his own eyes.

Upon hearing this, Xia Mu decisively took out the comet fragment from his spatial backpack.

Since it was confirmed that the items could be recycled, and regardless of the actual recycling price, Xia Mu bought six items in one go.

Each coin costs 60000 Alliance Coins, totaling 36 Alliance Coins.

One piece would have been astonishing enough, but to put six pieces in one go shocked Katsusuke and surprised Uchiki as well.

She knew that Xia Mu had always stayed on Round Island and couldn't possibly go out.

Although Xia Mu's father, Xia He, said that he had recently started training Pokémon in the island's forest, it was really incredible that he found six comet fragments in one go.

Even with good luck, you can't be this lucky.

Moreover, in the past few months to a year, there seems to be no record of comets streaking across the sky in the Kanto region, except for the Tsukimiyama area.

"This is a real comet fragment, and it's so perfectly intact. Even if it's only the size of a palm, it's worth an astronomical sum," Katsusuke said excitedly.

If he didn't have some self-discipline, he would have been unable to resist taking action.

Uchigi suppressed all his doubts, stepped forward, put on the gloves for testing, and opened the briefcase he was carrying.

The testing process is nothing more than sampling and analysis, then scanning, determining the material structure, etc. It was indeed a bit complicated for Xia Mu, because he knew nothing about this field. Ten minutes later, Nei Mu finally gave the answer.

These are genuine comet fragments. Depending on their weight, size, and condition, each piece is worth at least 500 to 1000 million Alliance Coins.

To make the pricing clearer, Uchiki presented sample images and prices from the recent recovery of comet fragments at Tsukimiyama.

Of course, even with the comparison, just to be on the safe side, Katsuki still reported a series of data to a certain department of the Kanto Alliance via telephone. Only after receiving approval and pricing did he give Natsuki a price of 600 million Alliance coins per piece.

The comet fragment purchased for 600 Alliance Coins can be recycled for 6 million Alliance Coins.

Xia Mu sold it for 3600 million Alliance Coins in one go.

Xia Mu was still somewhat excited when the money arrived in his account.

Despite trying to suppress her inner excitement, some of it inevitably showed.

I've never seen so much money in either my past or present life.

This isn't a six- or seven-figure number, it's an eight-figure number!

Suddenly, Xia Mu felt a little dissatisfied. If he had enough money, he could have sold a few more at once.

Again?

That definitely won't work.

Xia Mu could tell that the six comet fragments had already shocked them. If they were to produce more, it would be like a batch. Where did he get them from?

Others aren't fools either.

According to information obtained by Natsuki's investigation, only about ten or twenty pieces of comet fragments were recovered from Mount Tsukimi some time ago.

Xia Mu could no longer sell anything else, because Nei Mu was here, and he had to restrain himself.

The events of today will soon reach the ears of my parents in this life.

This huge sum of money was obtained in this way, and even though Uchiki was his elder, he wouldn't pretend nothing had happened, even though they didn't have a real relationship.

Moreover, Uchigi and his father must have had a working relationship, and Sodeki and Uchigi must be acquainted.

……

We chatted for a long time on the second floor of the Friendship Store.

Basically, he was talking about this and that, and Uchiki was completely attracted by Riolu, so he started collecting information on the spot.

It wasn't until much later, around 11 a.m., that Xia Mu finally made an excuse to leave.

Of course, we added each other on WeChat to facilitate direct communication in the future.

Katsuki invited the three of them to dinner, but Uchiki declined because he had things to do at the research institute, while Natsuki did not want to stay.

He only had a quick bite to eat at noon, and in the afternoon he still needed to go into the forest to train his Pokémon, otherwise the day would be over.

Time was already tight, so he had to be very careful with his spending.

Half an hour later, Natsuki rode his bicycle away from Yuujima City, taking the two little ones back into the forest.

First, find the river and release the Magikarp to let it relax. Also, feed it some Energy Cubes.

No longer confined to the fish tank, the Magikarp was very happy, constantly leaping out of the water. Its mood finally changed, and its intimacy level seemed to have increased as a result.

It's worth mentioning that increasing intimacy in the early stages is quite simple and quick.

However, once the intimacy level reaches 100 or higher, and the relationship is considered very good, the difficulty changes.

Take Riolu for example. Yesterday, its affinity level was 142 points, and it has only increased by 5 points to 147 points.

The number of Growlithe dogs is even lower, rising from 175 to 178 points, a mere 3 points.

Even if something else happens today, and he tries his best to cultivate the relationship, he probably won't be able to raise it by more than 10 points.

It's getting less and less every day; it's hard to imagine how difficult it will be to increase intimacy after reaching 200 points.

Riolu's evolution is also very difficult.

This is similar to how feelings develop between a man and a woman.

In the early stages, establishing rapport is easy; holding hands and hugging are simple tasks.

But if you want to kiss, if you want to go further, it becomes difficult, not to mention getting past the final hurdle.

After letting the three little ones play by the river for a long time, Xia Mu finally planned his next goal.

Proceed along the riverbank deeper into the water, avoiding battles with wild Pokémon of high Water-type level. Focus on Grass and Bug-type Pokémon, but Flying-type Pokémon are also an option.

Let's try it out first. Can Magikarp share its experience by watching from the sidelines?

If possible, there's no need to worry about the early upgrade progress, and he doesn't need to deliberately buy magic candies.

After all, 100 million per piece is too expensive.

36 million Alliance Coins is a lot; it can only buy 3600 of them.

At least, now is not the time to spend money on magic candies. Let's see where the limits can be reached in a few days, and then we'll consider who to give them to.

Keep moving forward.

There are indeed many wild Pokémon on both sides of the river, but most of them are not high level, only a few levels.

To test this out, Natsuki had Growlithe and Riolu team up to defeat some level 10 monsters in an attempt to level up Magikarp.

They even attacked the wild carp king in the river, but to no avail.

On the contrary, Growlithe and Riolu both leveled up by 1.

Perhaps it already had enough experience stored up yesterday, but it's definitely more than the experience required for Magikarp to level up.
