Elf: Starts with small diamonds, then mutates into Diancie.

......

Faced with the deathly silent auction hall, even the auctioneer was somewhat speechless.

"VIP number S001 bid 2000 million Shenzhou Coins once, 2000 million Shenzhou Coins twice, and 2000 million Shenzhou Coins three times. Sold!"

As the auctioneer's gavel fell again, the ownership of the Heartscale Elf Egg was determined.

Su Hao remembered that this S001 hadn't bid at all, and he turned his gaze towards it with some curiosity.

Hmm... long hair, she's a girl, but he couldn't tell anything else.

However, he felt that the voice sounded familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere just today.

People sitting around who knew each other were whispering among themselves, wondering who exactly this S001 was.

Just like before, the girl with number S001 won the next Liangjilong spirit egg with a high price of 2300 million Shenzhou coins, outbidding all other competitors.

Su Hao was a little stunned. Who was this rich landlord's silly daughter?

This is what rich people are like...

Compared to her, I feel like a poor wretch.

------------

Bai Zirou's expression remained calm, but she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She is currently a junior at Tsinghua University's Pokémon Battle University. Her family recently received a Pokémon egg containing a rare combination of a Scaleless and a Rhyperior from the Divine Continent League, which will be featured at an auction in Ice Peak City on April 8th.

Her family is a dragon-riding clan specializing in Dragon-type Pokémon, and they take this auction quite seriously.

The family originally planned to send her uncle, the current Dragon King of the Alliance, Bai Du, to participate in the auction.

For some unknown reason, the Icebird, a deity on Icefeather Mountain, suddenly became angry. My uncle, who was on his way to Icepeak City to attend an auction, was recalled by the Alliance to discuss matters and was tasked with guiding the Flame Emperor.

Just then, she was playing with Yueyue in the clan when she was conscripted. Before setting off, Yueyue insisted on coming to Ice Peak City with her. Under her persistent entreaties, Bai Zirou had no choice but to take Bai Yue and ride on the clan elder's horse, which was lent to her for travel and self-defense, to ensure that the pseudo-legendary egg could reach the clan's Elite Rank Dragonite smoothly and arrive in Ice Peak City.

Everything was fine in the morning, but in the afternoon she went out to answer a call from her uncle. Just a few minutes later, when she came back, she found that Yueyue, who should have been playing in the sand at the children's playground, had suddenly disappeared.

Anxious and usually calm, she momentarily forgot that she could seek help from the lost children's aid center in the mall, and started searching for people like a headless fly.

Fortunately, a handsome boy who looked like a high school student took Yueyue to the lost children's rescue center.

She gave away the Dragon Fang not only because the boy found Yueyue, but also because, in a sense, the boy ensured that she didn't miss the auction while searching for Yueyue.

With the financial support of her family, Bai Zirou successfully acquired two eggs of pseudo-legendary Dragon-type Pokémon, and a huge weight was lifted from her heart. All she had to do now was bring the eggs back.

Chapter 81 This wave of blood profit

"Distinguished guests, the following auction will feature several special items."

"All starting bids are zero, and there is no limit to the increment."

"On behalf of the United Chamber of Commerce, I sincerely hope that all of you will find some items that will catch your eye."

The auctioneer, dressed in a tuxedo, flicked his wrist and bowed slightly to the audience.

"That's all I wanted to say. Next up is the first special item – a highly poisonous manual!"

"This secret technique comes from Mr. Toxupper, a renowned Poison-type Gym Leader. Through this technique, Pokémon can learn to use Pokémon with a more potent poison than the usual poison moves."

The auctioneer paused, glanced at the audience, and noticed that most people had a hint of curiosity on their faces, but their expressions and demeanor did not show any desire to buy.

The auctioneer was not surprised, thinking that just as the notes on the list said, that person was truly prescient and deserved to be the one who single-handedly gathered together various scattered merchants and established a joint chamber of commerce!

"You may be worried that Pokémon may suffer irreversible damage during training due to the poison, or that you may accidentally cause the death of a Pokémon after using it in a battle without an antidote."

"Of course, the manual also contains the method for making the antidote. The materials are cheap, and it can even be mass-produced."

With their last concerns gone, the VIPs in the front row, starting with number S, began to call out their bids.

Both quasi-god eggs were bought by the junior member who appeared to be from the Dragon Taming Clan; they didn't dare to mess with the Dragon Taming Clan.

They hadn't bought anything at the auction while waiting for these two pseudo-legendary eggs, and if they didn't spend money now, they wouldn't have another chance to spend it!

......

"800 million Shenzhou RMB, sold in three transactions!"

"Let's give a round of applause to our VIP guest in seat S007 for receiving this highly toxic secret manual."

"Pah, pah, pah, pah, pah"

......

"The second special item is a stone that most people have heard of to some extent."

"Through research by elite scientists from various leagues around the world, this stone has been found to subtly enhance a Pokémon's physical attributes and has a certain probability of increasing the Pokémon's affinity for its own type energy."

After the auctioneer finished speaking at length, he paused, then said solemnly.

"Of course, our Chamber of Commerce adheres to the principle of doing business with integrity, and this stone still has its shortcomings."

"It only works on specific Pokémon. The auctioneer of this stone tried it on many Pokémon, but never found one that worked with it."

"The current owner has no choice but to entrust this rare stone to our chamber of commerce for auction due to cash flow problems."

"If any of you esteemed guests are interested, feel free to take a picture. What if you happen to encounter the right Pokémon? Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

The auctioneer's tone was enticing; the fact that no matching Pokémon could be found meant that the cost of trial and error significantly reduced the value of this item.

He still has to work hard to get a good price and a cut.

"Now, please admire this amazing stone!"

As the display case rises, the stone, which is more like a glass marble than a stone, lies quietly in a soft red velvet box, held in place by a transparent glass lid.

!!!

The moment the full view of the stone appeared on the screen, Su Hao, who had been lounging casually in his chair like Ge You, sat up straight instantly, his eyes fixed on the stone.

ega stone! ?

What appeared on the screen was the Ega Stone, which Su Hao had searched for online for the phrase "evolution beyond limits," but which had no information about its existence whatsoever!

Based on the auctioneer's explanation, it seems that people in this world are unaware that an E-stone requires the trainer to possess a corresponding Evolution Key Stone, along with deep bonds and emotions, to achieve that miraculous, boundary-transcending evolution.

They treated it as a special resource, using the Miracle Stone in the crudest way possible.

Based on the appearance of the Ega stone on the screen, even without using a system scan, he could determine that...

Which Pokémon does an E-stone belong to?

The pale purple sphere is adorned with red and blue-purple symbols resembling gene chains in the center.

Without a doubt, this is the Evolution Stone of Gengar, the Ghost/Poison type Pokémon!

Looking at this Ega Stone, even if he doesn't have Gengar now, who knows if he'll encounter it in the future?

It's really something to be envious of.

The hushed whispers of the three people beside him reached Su Hao's ears, which were enhanced by the power of waveguides, making his hearing even stronger.

He focused his attention and overheard everything the three were saying.

"The auctioneer makes it sound good, saying that all sorts of new Pokémon are being discovered all the time. Who knows when I'll actually find the corresponding Pokémon after buying this stone?"

"Yes, yes, even the most advanced machines are like they have no effect. They can't sense the energy contained in this stone at all, and even the Pokémon that are matched with it don't react to this stone."

"Most importantly, although it can improve a Pokémon's base stats, other high-level resources have the same effect or are even stronger. This stone can only be used on the corresponding Pokémon."

"Moreover, the so-called effect of increasing energy affinity is really a very small probability."

After the three people's "explanation," Su Hao roughly understood the current status of EGA stones in the world.

Many people possess this stone, but they don't know that it requires a matching Evolution Key Stone to activate the corresponding Pokémon's Evolution.

It's even quite possible that the Evolution Key Stone is being used to represent some unknown Pokémon, as no one has ever been able to collect all five conditions for Evolution.

Bond, E-stone, Key Stone, E-stone correspond to Pokémon and the trainer holding the Key Stone.

"This wondrous stone, named the 'Enhancement Stone,' has a starting bid of zero, with no limit on the increment."

"The auction begins!"

The gavel fell again, and many interested people placed bids.

"1 China Coins!"

"2 China Coins!"

......

"50 China Coins!"

Su Hao quickly searched on his phone and found the Baidu entry for "enhancing stone".

He checked the market price.

Although E-stones are rare, several publicly available transaction records clearly state that the stones corresponding to specific Pokémon will not exceed ten million Shenzhou coins, and those without clear details will even be discounted further.
