Chapter 184 Gambling on Stones
The underground black market in the west is large, covers a wide area, and has a large flow of people, but it is also a paradise for gambling on stones.

The sounds of "cutting, cutting, cutting" and "rising, rising, rising" could be heard everywhere.

The selected gambling stones will be placed under a high-pressure water gun for cutting.

Those whose ore was cut down were in great pain.

The most common elves here are fighting-attribute elves.

Xia Mu looked around curiously. On each stall, there were piles of stones like small hills.

The stall owners were calling out to customers loudly.

"Hey, uncle."

An old man suddenly appeared at a stall nearby and waved to Xia Mu.

"Are you calling me?"

Xia Mu then remembered that he seemed to be dressed as a middle-aged poacher.

"Yes, that's right. I'm calling you. Are you interested in the ore I have on sale?"

"I can give you a cheaper price."

Xia Mu's eyes fell on the ore on the stall.

In his eyes, he could see clearly what was inside these minerals.

【Abandoned ore.】

【Abandoned ore.】

【Intermediate level Thunder Stone Ore.】

[Primary Fire Stone Ore.]

Overall, the value of the ore is not great.

The price marked on each piece of ore far exceeds the original value of the ore.

It can be seen that this stall owner is a super ruthless person.

Xia Mu didn't say anything, just turned around and left.

"Hey, this guy, I originally wanted to make a fortune with him."

"You really have no vision."

The old man muttered a few words and then started to solicit the next customer.

Xia Mu took a tour of the entire underground black market and found that there were still many treasures here.

It’s just that the price of the ore is very high, which is no different from directly purchasing the same type of treasure.

But when it comes to gambling on stones, the most important thing is the excitement.

Everyone who comes here dreams of getting rich overnight, and they become extremely fanatical.

Xia Mu did not find the lightning-shaped ore, wondering if it was because it had not been delivered here yet.

Just then, the sound of ringing bells came from a distance.

The crowd put down the ores in their hands and rushed towards one place. Even the stall owner who was originally guarding the stall left.

I followed the crowd and walked in that direction.

“Is there any activity here?”

The DNA of the Yanhuang region began to stir, and the Yanhuang people's nature of liking to watch the excitement emerged.

Xia Mu followed the main force and came to a square.

The square was already crowded with people watching the excitement.

Xia Mu randomly picked a seat in the square and sat in the audience, looking forward to the start of the event.

At this time, a host walked out from a distance, and the lights focused on him.

The host wore a mask and held a microphone.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen."

"The weekly competition has begun again."

"According to the old rules, we will select three lucky spectators to fight against the trainers from the black market using the Pokémon we provide."

"If you win the competition, we'll give you a free piece of ore."

"However, the rules will be a little different from before."

"In the past, we were ranked according to points. Whoever had the highest points would get to pick the ore first."

"But this time it's different."

"Every contestant who successfully completes the challenge will have three pieces of ore to choose from."

"Okay, now I'll draw the lucky audience member on the spot."

A string of numbers appeared on the big screen.

"Contestant No. 569, please enter the arena."

At this moment, Xia Mu found that all eyes were on his seat.

He looked at his seat number and it was indeed 569.

"Oh my god, I can even win this. I guess I have to buy a lottery ticket."

"But it's not impossible to use the elves provided by others to fight."

Xia Mu slowly walked down from the audience seats and came to the arena.

At this time, a tray appeared on the competition platform where he was.

There were six Poké Balls on the tray.

The elves in the Poké Ball are Scyther, Venusaur, Magneto, Charmander, Starfish, and Toucan, corresponding to Bug, Grass, Electric, Fire, Water, and Flying respectively.

These elves were all mediocrely trained, and Xia Mu’s final gaze fell on the gem starfish.

Because among these six elves, only the Gem Starfish is a green-qualified elf. It has excellent super-power talents, and the use of super-power skills will have attribute bonuses.

Xia Mu chose this jewel starfish.

The trainer on the other side chose a Tyrannosaurus Rex.

[Elf Name: Overlord Flower]

[Gender: Female]

[Potential: Green Qualification]

[Feature: Chlorophyll]

[Taught Skills: Petal Dance (Mastery), Grass Field (Mastery), Shadow Clone (Mastery)]

[Evaluation: This is a Tyrannosaurus Rex that evolved from a high-level Leaf Stone. It excels at skills like Farmer's Three Powders and has also mastered skills like Petal Dance. Its poison-type talent is stronger than its grass-type talent.]

"Very Queen Flower?"

"I go!"

Isn't it obvious that he doesn't want his opponent to win at all?

Xia Mu looked at it with both eyes. The other trainer chose the Flower Queen after he chose the Starfish.

However, this Queen Flower's poison talent is stronger than its grass talent.

The Gem Starfish's superpower talent is stronger than its water talent.

This means that the Gem Starfish is completely superior to the Queen of Flowers in terms of super powers.

Therefore, if you plan this game well, you won't necessarily lose to Amazon.

[Elf Name: Gem Starfish]

[Gender: Male]

【Qualification: Green Qualification】

[Feature: Magic Mirror]

【Level: 34】

[Attribute: Water + Superpower]

[Skills: High-pressure water cannon (mastery), telekinesis (control), water cannon (mastery), light wall (mastery), water gun (mastery), mind (mastery), water jet (mastery), phantom light (control), high-speed rotation (mastery), liquid circle (mastery), etc.]

[Evaluation: This is a special trained elf that has learned the psychic meditation method. It is good at teleporting and creating illusions. Its psychic talent is stronger than its water talent.]

The key is that this jewel starfish has mastered more skills than Xia Mu imagined.

"Alright, both teams have chosen their game spirits."

"Then we can start the game."

"Three, two, one, the game begins."

At the host's command, both of them gave orders to the elves.

"Gem Starfish, use meditation to increase your combat power."

A star-blue light appeared on the Gem Starfish's body. "Vara, use Leaf Blade."

The other party wants to test the strength of the Gem Starfish.

Then, one-meter-long green leaves were wrapped around the body of the Queen Flower.

Endless green leaves shot out and hit the gem starfish.

"Avoid it, and do not interrupt your meditation."

Xia Mu issued an order.

The Gem Starfish is unusually obedient and is like a friend Xia Mu has known for years.

It spun at high speed in the air, avoiding the impact of the flying leaves and sharp knives.

The flying leaves and sharp knives rushed through the shadow of the gem starfish and flew back like a boomerang.

A green light flashed in the eyes of the Queen of Flowers, and it controlled the Flying Leaf Blade to attack.

"Use the water gun."

The Gem Starfish spun at high speed and used its water gun.

The water gun fired bursts of water in mid-air, landing on the broad leaves.

The leaves were cut into pieces by the high-pressure water gun and fell from the sky like dancing butterflies.

There is a haggard and desolate feeling.

"Very good, Gem Starfish, well done."

Layers of water flow surround the body of the gem starfish, just like a coating.

This is the Water Ring skill used by the Gem Starfish.

"Vaquera, use paralysis powder."

"While doing the petal dance, use paralysis powder."

The queen flower stood on tiptoe and began to dance.

Countless pink petals shot up into the sky, mixed with golden powder.

"Jewel Starfish, use Shadow Clone."

The Gem Starfish created more than a dozen clones floating in the air.

Amazon has no way of telling which clone is the real one.

The petal dance floated in the air and attracted towards the jewel starfish.

In just a blink of an eye, more than a dozen figures were stuck to their bodies by petals.

The clone exploded like bubbles, and petals fell from the sky like rain.

"That's strange, where did the Gem Starfish go?"

The other trainer was puzzled.

"Gem Starfish, use your mind."

To deal with a Pokémon like Amazon that is good at using recovery skills, you must hit the target with one strike and kill the opponent directly.

The purple light gathered on the Gem Starfish's body, which also removed the Gem Starfish's protective color skill.

After seeing the actions of the jewel starfish, the opponent felt something was wrong.

Only then did he remember that the Gem Starfish was also a super-powered elf, and it had a counteracting effect on the poisonous properties of the Queen of Flowers.

"Oh no! If the Queen Flower is hit by the thought, she might be knocked down right away."

"No, it can't be like this."

"Valley Flower, use Leaf Storm at maximum power."

After hearing the command, countless grass-type energies emerged from the body of the Queen of Flowers.

The fallen leaves swirled in the air, forming a huge tornado.

A violent tornado floated in the air, and flying leaves gathered in it, forming sharp blades.

"Very Queen Flower, Leaf Storm."

"let's go."

Seeing that the leaf storm was ready, countless green leaves suddenly flew out and rushed towards the gem starfish.

At this time, the thoughts of Gem and Starfish were also ready.

The purple energy, like a giant dragon with bared fangs and claws, merged with the storm of flying leaves in mid-air.

The leaf storm was torn apart abruptly, and countless leaves fell from the sky and landed on the ground.

The Amazon was also hit by the purple telekinesis, and its body was thrown into the air and then fell heavily.

It fell to the ground with a thud and immediately lost its ability to fight.

"Here comes the first winner. Let us congratulate this winner."

The moment after Amazon was defeated, the host hurriedly shouted into the microphone.

"Contestants, please come and select your ore."

The host clapped his hands, and three beauties came up directly pushing a cart.

The cart is piled with red cloth, symbolizing good luck.

The host tore off the red cloth.

The first piece of ore was like a majestic dragon, lying cross-legged on the ground.

【Dragon Stone】

The second piece of ore looks like a bamboo.

【The ultimate evil stone.】

The third piece of ore is exactly Xia Mu’s target tonight. It is a top-grade lightning crystal that can help Pikachu evolve.

Moreover, the entire piece of ore has only a thin layer of stone on the outside, and the rest is lightning crystals.

Developed, developed.

【Top-grade Lightning Crystal】

If there are still most of the lightning crystals left after Pichu evolves, leave them for Pikachu to use.

After all, Xia Mu was not sure whether Pikachu was willing to evolve into the big and strong Raichu.

According to a survey conducted by Dr. Pokemon, more than 50% of Pikachus are unwilling to transform into Raichu.

They think that Raichu's form is not very good-looking.

Since we are all yellow-skinned rats anyway, we might as well show ourselves in the best possible way.

"I choose this ore."

Xia Mu said, pointing at the ore.

"Does it need to be cut open on the spot?"

The host said attentively.

Cut it open on the spot to see what treasure is inside.

This is also one of the few hobbies of stone gamblers.

"No, I have other uses for this ore, so I won't cut it up. It will be the same if I cut it up again when I get back."

Xia Mu knew that wealth should not be shown off.

"Okay, since you don't want to, we won't force you."

"This ore is in your hands."

The beauty and the cart were given to Xia Mu.

The host was just looking for a joke on Xia Mu, to see how he managed to transport the ore out of the underground black market.

The ore is an extremely conspicuous target, and many people will stare at this huge piece of ore.

Although the underground black market does not allow black-on-black robbing, once you step out of the scope of the underground black market, those with ulterior motives will try to steal the ore.

After all, the ores rewarded in the underground black market arena are not ordinary items.

Xia Mu did not stop, but found a corner and quietly released the iron dumbbell.

As soon as the iron dumbbell was released, it used a protective color to float in the air.

After using telekinesis to scan the ore and confirming that no one had tampered with it, Xia Mu quickly put the ore into the storage space, then followed the iron dumbbell and used teleportation to disappear from sight.

Soon, several people found this place. Looking at the empty car, the leader stomped his feet hard.

"Damn it, the little fat sheep got away."

"Could it be that there really is a treasure in that ore?"

At this time, Xia Mu had returned to his room safely. In order to avoid being tracked, Xia Mu also asked Iron Dumbbell to perform more than a dozen instant teleportations in a row.

"Huh, the raw materials for Pichu's evolution are ready."

"Next, you can evolve Pichu into Pikachu."

Xia Mu murmured.

At this time, an important message was sent.
