Elf: Who told him to be an investigator!

Regardless of the abilities demonstrated by this investigator, his intelligence on Mount Tenguan, and his history of repeatedly disrupting Team Galactic's plans, in these three aspects—

In investigating the Tenguanzan Galaxy Team, no one was more suitable to help her than the investigator in front of her.

At least for now, she hasn't thought of anyone who could replace him.

Zhu Lan thought to herself.

But then he saw the investigator in front of him extend a hand with his five fingers spread out.

She tilted her head, puzzled, and asked, "Huh?"

Ze Shu asked matter-of-factly, "What about overtime pay?"

Although it seems to be his duty as an investigator to go against Team Galactic, well... just look at how many times he has gone against Team Galactic in less than a month!

He heard it from Investigator Xiongzheng. How could an investigator be so "busy"?

For a normal investigator, it would be considered an excellent performance if they could solve even one of his previous cases in a few years!

Zhu Lan's desire to use him continuously made him feel like a beast of burden, working day and night for the company.

He also wants some free time!

If there's no free time, then there must be "overtime pay".

Zhu Lan paused for a moment before saying, "...Whatever you want, I will try my best to fulfill it."

Ze Shu hadn't decided yet, but after a moment's thought, he said, "Give me some money first."

That's for sure. After wandering around True Sand Town, he realized that the 100,000 Alliance Coins he had were far from enough... and he could easily spend them all.

In less than a month, he had already spent about 40,000 League Coins on Pokémon training resources...

If this continues, we can only hold on for another month.

Zhu Lan: "..."

money?

That's it?

She was somewhat speechless.

He then pulled out a black card with an intricate pattern: "Ask me again if you need more."

Ze Shu's expression was strange: "I'm talking about the Alliance's money, not your money."

This posture...it looks so much like he's being kept by a sugar daddy/sugar baby! This is clearly the overtime pay he deserves.

But Zhu Lan simply said, "It's the league's money."

She then repeated, "If it's not enough, ask me for more."

He placed the card in Ze Shu's open palm.

Then she glanced at the Glaceon in Ze Shu's arms and said very seriously, "Actually, our league has an inside channel for purchasing Pokémon training items, so it's a bit cheaper."

Ze Shu nodded: "I bought it through internal channels, and it was still expensive."

With the money, he naturally wanted to use the most "powerful" cultivation formula he knew from his memory. This most "powerful" formula was, of course, also the most expensive.

Zhu Lan: "..."

Could it be that he used almost entirely the most expensive materials? She wouldn't have dared to use that when she first started her adventure...

Cynthia didn't say anything, but simply said, "Don't wander around during this time. I'll let you know after I've dealt with these Pokémon hunters."

Then, seeing that it wasn't too late, she decided to leave, but she had only taken a few steps...

Then Ze Shu said, "Don't forget my spaceship, please clean it up."

Zhu Lan paused, a hint of helplessness in her voice: "I understand."

Watching Zhu Lan's figure disappear from the training ground.

As the sound of Koma-dō soldiers sharpening their swords filled the air, Sawaki sighed, "Mount Tenkan?"

After thinking for a moment, he realized that the system had not yet settled the accounts.

Then the system is opened.

This act of charity was divided into two parts.

[Good Deed 1: A Great Victory in the Operation to Protect the Valley Power Plant!]

[Good Deeds Receipt: Your brilliant strategies made your protection of the Valley Power Plant twice as effective; you are the hero who saved Sinnoh from a power outage!]

[Good Deed 2: The Sinnoh Pokémon Hunter Army? Defeat them!]

[Good Deed Receipt: Your "boat-driving skills" allowed you to effortlessly subdue most of the Pokémon Hunters in Sinnoh. Now that the remaining Pokémon Hunters in Sinnoh have found their "predecessors" in jail, things will quiet down for a while... right?]

I smiled and clicked "Settle Charity".

In an instant, two treasure chests appeared from the yellow and black mist.

A treasure chest that flickered with faint lightning, as if touching it would paralyze you.

A treasure chest shrouded in black mist, looking extremely menacing.

Ze Shu waved his hand, opening both treasure chests at once. Amidst the surging lightning and black mist, two items appeared.

He looked over and saw that one of them was shaped like a 'U'.

【magnet】

[A very special magnet that can significantly enhance the power of Electric-type moves. If charged with its positive and negative poles, it will grant Electric-type Pokémon the "Crystal" status.]

Ze Shu was stunned for a moment.

Transistor? Like the previous "Sharpness," is it a special ability?

It seems to be the ability of Reggie the Electric Pillar, an ability that can significantly increase the power of Electric-type moves.

He realized that this special item, like the 'metal membrane' he had previously obtained, was an ordinary attribute item with special functional enhancements.

But the problem is, he doesn't have any Electric-type Pokémon right now.

It's just gathering dust, sitting there.

Thinking this, Ze Shu looked at another prop—this prop was a square stone that exuded a fierce black aura.

【Evil-faced Slate】

There is still no systematic explanation.

Ze Shu's expression was strange.

It's one thing that the "Ice Pillar Slab" injured Liu Bo before, but this can also yield a slab? Does he have to build a slab set with all his Pokémon? That seems pretty good too.

The reason why "Evil Face Plates" appear is because Pokémon hunters use Dark-type Pokémon.

As Ze Shu held the "Evil Face Stone Tablet" in his hand, he could feel an extremely malicious aura threatening him and trying to invade his body.

This looks like an unsafe slab of stone?

But then—

Ze Shu's eyes seemed to flash with fire, and a faint, monstrous yellow flame emerged. Instantly, the 'Evil Face Stone Tablet' in his hand ceased to be threatening and fell silent.

Ze Shu: "..."

The evil attribute is bullying the weak and fearing the strong, right?

Sheep... Would Arceus feel ashamed to see such a stone slab?

Sawaki hesitated for a moment before tentatively bringing the "Evil Face Stone Tablet" closer to the soldier who was still sharpening his sword and whose blades were already incredibly sharp all over his body.

They felt an attraction between them like magnets, and the stone slab instantly merged into the soldier's body and disappeared.

Ze Shu asked, "Do you feel anything? Or have you noticed any changes?"

After pausing for a moment, as if after assessing his physical condition, Koma-no-Bing shook his head blankly.

Even the soldier with the dagger was shaking his head blankly.

Zeshu could also see it.

Supported by his body, which was as sharp as a mountain of knives, the soldier with the dagger-like blade exuded an even more ferocious and cold aura.

……

night.

After teleporting Paras back to Miko and her father via the teleportation device and hanging up amidst their repeated thanks, Ze Shu casually checked the card that Zhu Lan had given him.

Only then did I realize that Zhu Lan's cash was close to 800,000!

The specific figure is 798525 Alliance Coins.

There are both whole and odd amounts.

If Ze Shu hadn't known that the ice cream at the Alliance headquarters cost 25 yuan a cone, he wouldn't have realized that this was the card that Zhu Lan usually used.

Oh well, I'll just consider it my overtime pay anyway.

"Bu-i?"

Glaceon looked at the many numbers on the card, its clumsy brain unable to figure them out.

But it knows: Our family is rich now?

"Yeah, right." Ze Shu smiled and ruffled its hair. "Eat as much as you want from now on!"

Well, the first step is to visit an ice cream shop.

"Buyi!"

Ice Eevee is happy for its trainer.
