Starry Sky Train, I opened a small shop on the train

Chapter 375, Zhi Dong borrows money from Feng Dan to develop [the business].

"No? This Bubuflower can evolve? Isn't it already in its final form?" Wendy asked incredulously, voicing what Zhongli, Jingyuan, and the others were thinking.

Ye Yun explained.

"This is mega-evolution; a very small number of Pokémon possess the potential for mega-evolution."

After Mega Evolution, the Pokémon's strength will increase significantly.

Like Star's Infernape, it also possesses the potential for Mega Evolution.

After Infernape evolves into Gorilla, there is a chance that it will Mega Evolve.

After evolving, it will become a Magma Ape.

Infernape has a bug-level skill: Fatal Flame.

This skill consumes half of your stamina and has a 1% chance to instantly kill your opponent.

Of course, there is an upper limit; it is limited to those below the rank of Commander.

Upon hearing this, Yuan and the others gasped in shock.

This skill is definitely bugged. Although the requirements for activating the skill are very high, it's still ridiculously overpowered.

Nobody wants to gamble on that chance. What if they happen to be in that 1%? That would be disastrous.
Half an hour later, Akshia lay on the ground, panting heavily.

Himeko is numb. She can't be killed, she's impossible to kill. This Lisabubu is too cheating. All her skills are either restoring or absorbing stamina.

I didn't even get the one in a thousand chance of a one-in-a-thousand kill at Absolute Zero in Akshia.

In the end, Akshia's stamina was completely depleted, and Himeko returned it to the Spirit Capsule.

Himeko glanced at Lisa Bubu and sighed inwardly.

This little guy is really amazing; Little March is really lucky.

Previously in Luofu, it was this little guy who solved the problem of the medicine smoke in Dan Ding Si.

Seeing that Himeko had given up, the referee announced the result.

Congratulations to contestant March 7th and her little elf Lisa Bubu for winning and advancing to the top 16!
Ladies and gentlemen! The round of 32 to the round of 16 has now concluded!
Stay tuned for the quarterfinals this afternoon!

The morning's matches ended, and the audience began to leave.

The Pokémon Contest has become a global phenomenon, and many children dream of raising Pokémon to win the contest.

Sand Gold also established a club, attracting many promising players.

As for Ye Yun's customers, Ye Yun has already said that they will not be allowed to participate after this session ends.

Now all 16 finalists are customers of the store, which is a departure from the original intention of the Pokémon Tournament.

Ye Yun's idea was to promote Pokémon. If the shop's customers kept dominating the top rankings, it would discourage many ordinary Pokémon trainers.

What's the point of training hard? Can you even compare to these guys who are practically cheating?
Therefore, Ye Yun directly told the store's customers not to participate in future Pokémon competitions.

Jingyuan, Zhongli, and Amber, who have already been eliminated, have all left Happy Little Broken Ball.

The remaining advanced players, such as Liu Ying, Hu Tao, and Fu Xuan, followed the location provided by Sha Jinfeng in the group chat to a hotel for lunch.

As soon as Liu Ying, Xing, and the others arrived at the entrance, they saw Paimon and Milim squatting at the hotel entrance with food bowls in their hands.

When Paimon saw Xing and the others approaching, he immediately flew over, pointed at the doorman, and berated him.

"Star! You're finally here! That guy is so mean! He wouldn't let Milim and me in!"

Milim was also fuming.

"If Ye Yun hadn't told me not to make a move, I would have punched him right away! Humph!"

"Firefly asked curiously."

"Paimon, Milim, what brings you here? Didn't you say you were going to play on the train?"

Paimon took out his phone and opened the group chat.

"I saw it was located here~ What's wrong?"

Liu Ying smiled.

"It's nothing, I was just curious how you knew there was food here."

Xing then said

"Follow me, I'll take you inside."

Xing led Paimon and Milim to the door, where the doorman ran over to greet them from afar.

"Welcome, Elf King, to our hotel. Please come in."

Xing was very satisfied with the doorman's attitude.

"Good, good, you have a good eye. These two are with me, is it alright if I take them in?"

Men Ying glanced at Paimon and Milim, who were standing next to Xing with their hands on their hips and staring at him, and had no words to express her bitterness.

Director Sand Gold sent him photos of all the guests, which he carefully compared and confirmed that Paimon and Milim were not among them before he didn't let them in.

The doorman said with a smile.

“Of course, that’s no problem. You are a distinguished guest of our hotel and a friend of Director Sand Gold. Whatever you say goes.”

Upon hearing this, Xing swaggered into the hotel.

Seeing this, Milim raised her head, puffed out her chest, and followed after him with an overbearing gait.

As she passed the doorman, Milim gave him a cold snort.

Hmph! Serves you right for not letting me in! Did you really think I had no way to get in?

Xing and his companions entered the hotel and were led to a private room by a waiter.

After everyone was seated, the waiter began serving the dishes.

Xing, Liuying, and the others didn't rush to eat; they waited for Paimon and Milim to each fill a bowl first.

Every meal follows the same routine: Paimon and Milim will first take their bowls and serve themselves, and then you don't have to worry about them anymore.

Milim frantically shoveled food into her bowl, and after getting her food, Milim and Paimon turned to say goodbye and left the private room.

Paimon and Milim planned to go back to Ye Yun's shop to eat, where they could watch cartoons while they ate, which sounded very appealing.

In the afternoon, Xing and the others returned to the venue to continue the competition.

Xing was called over by Toppa, who said he wanted to talk to her about the Elf King Challenge.

There will be some opening ceremonies that Xing will need to perform.

Liu Ying and the others continued with the competition.

At this moment, in New Teyvat, New Fontaine.

Funina and Robin were strolling hand in hand.

The new Fengdanting has been completed. It is the same size as the original Fengdanting and has a similar style.

Fontaine's construction speed is comparable to that of Liyue.

Most importantly, Fontaine has the support of a major financial backer, Funina.

Neville and Fucarus have absolutely no need to worry about financial matters.

The credit points in the account are more than enough; Funina will deposit a large sum of money into the account every few days during her vacation.

Fu Ningna is now incredibly famous, earning hundreds of billions of credits every day.

The two of them were incredibly extravagant when buying materials from Toppa. They paid in full upfront, without even asking for IOUs or installment plans.

The main selling point is that they are financially well-off and have money.
Frinna arrived at the Moman Palace with the robin, and Fucarus and Navelette said they had something to discuss with Frinna.

Funina kicked open the office door.

"Ta-da~ Superstar Funina makes her dazzling entrance~" Funina jumped into the room from outside, raised her hands high, and struck a pose.

Funina opened her eyes and was instantly mortified with embarrassment.

Inside, one could see the ice god Barnabas, along with a lady and her servant.

You've made a fool of yourself!
Funina dashed out of the office, closing the door behind her.

Then, there was a knock on the door, and Funina slowly pushed it open, exuding the air of an elegant young woman. "Oh? Isn't this Sister Barnabas? What brings you to Fontainebleau? Why didn't you tell me? I could have prepared in advance and taken you out to play."

Barnabas smiled.

"I'll definitely tell you next time I come to Fontainebleau."

Furninna nodded.

"Okay, by the way, what brings you to Fontainebleau?"

At that moment, Fukaros said.

“Furina, Barnabas wants to borrow some money from Fontaine to develop until winter, so we called you here to ask for your opinion.”

Upon hearing this, Funina first looked at Navelette, the chief financial officer.

"Villet, do we have any extra money in our public accounts?"

Thatvilette said.

"There are a lot more."

Upon hearing this, Funina...

“I think that’s fine. Lending some to Sister Barnabas shouldn’t be a problem.”

We all come from Teyvat, so naturally we need to help each other.

"When Fontaine suffered disaster before, you Fools helped a lot, saving many of Fontaine's people."

Fukaros nodded.

"That's what I meant too, but since all the money in this account was deposited by you, I still need to ask for your opinion."

Funina waved her hand dismissively.

"Hey~ I thought it was something serious. Robin and I were just strolling around. You don't need to ask me about these things anymore."

All you need to do is one thing: call me when you're out of money. I have more money than I can spend.

Speaking of which, I remembered something. Yesterday, when Robin and I were inspecting the land in Pinocchio, I casually bought a shop. The deed is in my dressing table drawer in my room.

"Fukaros, go pick it up when you have time, and take a few people to check out that shop."

Upon hearing this, Fukaros nodded in agreement, as the prices at Pinocchio's shops were quite high.

Doing business there is practically risk-free; the foot traffic is just too high.

The woman was very puzzled.

"I'd like to ask something, it might be a bit presumptuous, but I'm genuinely very curious."

Upon hearing this, Funina put her hands on her hips and looked at the lady.

"Oh? You ask."

"I asked the woman."

"Ms. Funina, I'd like to ask how you earned so many credits?"
"After interacting with the businesspeople on the company's app recently, I've found that none of them are easy to deal with; they're unwilling to give up even the slightest benefit."

The servant echoed this sentiment.

"Yeah, yesterday I transported a batch of goods to a nearby market planet. In one day, I earned 10 credits. These credits are so hard to earn."

Funina scratched the back of her head, looking bewildered.

"Huh? Are credits hard to earn? No, right? I haven't even bothered with it, and my account keeps adding over 10 billion every day. It's driving me crazy, because Toppa comes to me every day to sign documents."

They said large transfers required a signature, and even if I had to sign, there were just too many—a thick book of agreements. My hand ached every time.

Barnabas, the lady, and the servant were instantly petrified upon hearing what Funina said.

What do you mean it can generate over 10 billion more every day? And you're still signing so many documents your hand aches?

Goodness, the company has never asked me to sign anything for a large transfer before.

There's not much to say, I'm just envious, nothing but envious. Barnabas says, "I also want to sign so many autographs my hand gets sore."

Fukalos gave an awkward laugh.

"Barnabas, Frinina is a special case."

Barnabas nodded stiffly.

"OK, I understand."

asked Navilette.

"Lord Barnabas, how many credits would you like to borrow this time?"

Upon hearing this, Barnabas exchanged a glance with the lady and the servant, and then spoke.

“We want to borrow 1000 million to buy a central heating system from Toppa so that our city can stay warm.”

Upon hearing this, Funina raised her hand.

"Sister Barnabas, why don't you borrow more? Is 1000 million really enough?"

I remember Navis said that it cost nearly 300 billion to build Fontainebleau.

Barnabas felt a sharp pain in his chest. Good heavens! There are people even eager to borrow money?
Are you still asking yourself if you're enough?
And another thing, it cost 300 billion to build Fontainebleau? That much money? No wonder it was built so quickly.

Wow, that's terrifying financial power.

Barnabas made up his mind to go back and have a good chat with the rich man.

If others like Fu Ningna can make so much money, why can't you, who specializes in business and finance, do the same?

finally.

Barnabas took 10 billion credits from Fontainebleau.

As Barnabas boarded the spaceship back to winter, he still recalled the strange look on Funina's face when they parted.

Especially the last sentence.

"Is 10 billion really enough? I'm afraid it won't even cover the cost of laying the foundation."

Barnabas almost swore at that moment.

Please stop with the Versailles thing! Especially not in front of someone as poor as me!

Before coming to Fontainebleau, Barnabas thought that everyone's development was probably similar.

Who would have thought that Fontaine is so rich!

Barnabas then went to Sumeru, Liyue, Mondstadt and Inazuma.

After walking around, wow! Apart from Nata who hasn't moved in yet, Zhi Dong is the poorest.

For the sake of Liyue's development, Zhongli went to Jingyuan and, after giving up the tea cakes worth 20 Star Coins that she got from opening the trash can, successfully obtained a 2000 billion Credit Point loan from Jingyuan without interest.

Ningguang used this money to create several more money-making projects for Liyue within a month.

Firstly, in the fisheries sector, Ningguang acquired a well-known fish farm in the universe. The first batch has now grown up, and the fish fry have been preserved, earning them over 20 billion yuan.

Secondly, in the mining industry, Ningguang found Ruotuo and asked him to make a move, which led to the purchase of an unclaimed planet rich in minerals.

This mineral-rich planet alone can bring Liyue over 10 billion credits every day.

Thirdly, there are Liyue's specialties: Celestial Talismans.

Ningguang spent a lot of money to hire several immortals and their disciples to make immortal talismans.

These talismans are selling extremely well, with demand exceeding supply.

Liyue has a more comprehensive development, while Fontaine relies on Fryna.

Mondstadt, Sumeru, and Inazuma are also quite good, and the Teyvat girl group consisting of Barbara, Nel, and Linghua has also gained a lot of popularity.

Putting aside other factors, the three countries still have a couple hundred billion credit points in their public accounts.

Barnabas thought about his public account until winter and tsk tsk, it was only a few million.

These millions were earned through years of hard work in business and traveling to various markets.

Well, so everyone's making a fortune in silence, huh? And I'm the only poor wretch like Zhi Dong~
I thought everyone was about the same, but I never expected that they were all secretly making a fortune.
