Chapter 73

You'd Better Have

Sinnoh Champion Cynthia: Shopkeeper, is this scroll related to Eastern mythology and history? (IP: Sinnoh)

"Hishyona?"

Looking at the name that popped up in the message bar, Wei Xin tilted his head and blinked in confusion.

Just as the West cannot lose Jerusalem, as a Pokémon enthusiast, Wei Xin couldn't possibly be unaware of the Sinnoh Champion, the world's strongest woman, a sweets lover, someone with decision-making anxiety, a blonde mature woman, whose ID is "I'm Just an Archaeologist," and who is also the highest mountain and longest river in Pokémon fanfiction, Cynthia!

But, are you sure this Cynthia is authentic?

Whether you guarantee the size of the baby or its authenticity, everyone who comes is a customer, and customers are like alpacas. Even if Ding Zhen comes today, I only have three service attitudes! Be careful, be patient, and be considerate!

Ralts is number one in the world: Dear friend, from the mythical Eastern Empire, a mythical beast from the mountains and seas, the Taotie is one of a kind in the entire world, no deception. IP: Eastern Empire.

The truth is that Cynthia is neither a child nor an old person.

After waiting for a while, Wei Xin did not receive a reply from Cynthia. Instead, another message popped up at the bottom of the page.

The chairman of the Ethereum Foundation sent you a message?

Wei Xin was startled a second before seeing the ID.

Holy crap, Lusamine? The Aether Foundation is calling? Wait, I haven't done anything yet.

They say fortunes change every thirty years, but it's only been three days, and you're already treating me like a fire dragon?

Upon clicking, I found that, just like the previous person, they were asking about product details.

If they're just here to give money, then it's fine.

Ralts is number one in the world: Dear friend, from the Eastern Mythology, the Ultimate Beast, Taotie is also known as the Ultimate Beast in some places, the Gluttonous King IP: Eastern Mythology.

Although Wei Xin is a fan of Cynthia, he doesn't get along with Rosamund.

However, personal feelings cannot be mixed in when doing business.

Hehehe, I'll make my way in the money of bad women too. Not only will I make it, I'll make a killing, make a lot of it, make a lot of it, make a lot of it, make a lot of it!

While waiting for the reply, Wei Xin checked the two people's profiles. Lusamine's profile had privacy settings. Wei Xin always assumed that bad women were the most malicious, and that they must have bought something shameful that they couldn't talk about and that they couldn't let outsiders or family know about.

Cynthia, on the other hand, had a collection of antique books and curiosities, clearly showing a particular interest in the historical artifacts of the Eastern Empire.

"Without Pokémon-related merchandise, we can't tell if it's real or fake," Wei Xin muttered. "That's true, after all, it's a champion Pokémon, a top athlete, they can't just eat cheap food, can they?"

Not long after, Cynthia came out of the bathroom after taking a bath, wearing a loose bathrobe. Glistening water droplets slid down her snow-white skin, from her neck, into the deep cleavage.

She carefully rubbed her fluffy blonde hair with a towel, dried it, tied it into a blonde ponytail with a rubber band in her mouth, and sat in front of the computer to see Wei Xin's reply.

Sinnoh Champion Cynthia: Are the ancient text annotations above all authentic? Did you translate them yourself? Are there any references or materials?

Compared to paintings that can only be collected, ancient books containing related information are what interest her most.

Ralts is number one in the world: My boss said the annotations and translations are real, but the references are a secret.

In an effort to attract customers, Wei Xin tried to find relevant information when filling out the product descriptions, but unfortunately he couldn't find much. The current content was fabricated from his memory.

The plagiarism detection capability is 3%, with the main advantage of ensuring there's no way to prove otherwise.

But Cynthia saw it differently.

Confidential? Could it be information that can't be released? A family of archaeologists, industry leaders?

But why would you sell things online? Could it be that your family has fallen on hard times?

She then carefully examined the contents of the picture.

"It looks very new, not like it was unearthed. Could it be a replica? But he said it's the only one." After thinking for a moment, Cynthia chose to give up.

Anyway, 30,000 yuan is just a week's worth of snacks for Garchomp.

Take my money!

While Wei Xin and Shirona were communicating, Lusamine saw Wei Xin's reply and sat up straight.

Ultra Beasts are the result of her parents' research and have not yet been made public. Only a small number of people in the Aether Foundation know about them, and only she knows the name of Guzzlord.

Chairman of the Ether Foundation: Do you know about Ultra Beasts?

If she's a talented person, then what she wants is more than just a painting.

Ralts is number one in the world: My boss says he knows a little about her.

What you know, I know; what you don't know, I also know.

However, Wei Xin did not intend to be completely honest. What if the other party really became interested and kidnapped him, first subjecting him to severe torture, and then using a honey trap when his will was at its weakest to squeeze every last drop out of him?

I'm talking about knowledge, don't get the wrong idea.

For the sake of business, Wei Xin planned to lure Rosamund first, just in case the price of the painting would have an extra zero later. If not, an extra one would do too.

As for risks, the bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish. A businessman would dare to take risks if he could make a 50% profit.

If there is a 100% profit, he dares to disregard all the rules of the world.

That's a profit of 1,000 percent!

There's also the grudge from before. If I don't take a good stab at this wicked woman, my Dao heart won't be at peace.

Moreover, Wei Xin used a secondary account, which minimized the risk.

So, under Wei Xin's direction, Lusamine and Cynthia sent messages almost simultaneously.

I want it! x2

Wei Xin smiled knowingly.

Today is the day I, Pang Weixin, become rich.

Wei Xin sent messages and screenshots to Lusamine and Cynthia respectively.

Ralts is the best: Sorry, dear, this customer also took a liking to this item.

The two looked closely and were surprised to find that even the time was the same. They frowned, puzzled.

Could it be that the photos were photoshopped on-site to inflate the price?

Having bought so many things, they naturally understand the merchants' tactics.

Until I received a message from Wei Xin: I'm sorry, dear, it seems the other party is unwilling to give up this item. We are a small business and can't afford to offend them. How about this, I'll add you two to a group chat so you can discuss it yourselves.

Is this going to be auctioned off?

"It's a shill, it must be a shill," Lusamine and Cynthia insisted. "It must be a trick by the merchants to raise prices. You think I'm a college student?" But they still agreed to Wei Xin's proposal, since they had time anyway.

I don't believe you can actually bring the Sinnoh champion (Chairman of the Aether Foundation).

The chairperson of the Ether Foundation, Sinnoh Champion Cynthia, and Ralts, the world's number one, have joined the chat group.

Ralts, number one in the world: Our boss said that harmony brings wealth. You two are both important figures, and it's fate that we met. Even if we don't make a deal, we can still be on good terms. Please do as you please.

Why is your boss speaking in such a fragmented way? Are you preparing for graduate school entrance exams?

Ethereum Foundation Chairman: Boss, is the person on the other end a shill you hired?

What mop? I'd say you're a broom.

Cynthia, watching from the screen, looked rather sullen. "You're turning the tables on me, trying to prove you're not a bot, huh?"

Sinnoh Champion Cynthia: I have evidence to prove my identity. What about you?

You'd better have it.

Ethereum Foundation Chairman: I can too, give me a minute.

So Lusamine and Cynthia tidied their clothes and outfits, turned around at the same time, took a picture of the time and chat history on the computer behind them, and after confirming that there was nothing that could not be disclosed, they sent it out together.

Then, Qi Qi stood there, stunned.
