Pokémon: I picked up a reborn Eevee at the start of the game

Become stronger.

This is the instinct of all spirits, and also the urgent desire that the Money-Grubbing Spirit suddenly craves after being idle for too long.

If there were truly no hope, who would willingly remain idle?

In the past, the weakness of the creature itself, the limitations of its race, and the scarcity of resources were all reasons for the Money-Demanding Spirit to give up.

But now, everything seems to have changed... With the Godly Rich System, it has a way to grow stronger.

Looking at the ten-yuan coin, Suo Cailing seemed to have made up his mind.

"System, convert all my assets into points!"

[Redeem successful, points balance: 10000221]

Suo Cailing understood immediately. The one million should be the box of coins Xia Chen had given him earlier. It seemed that there were a thousand coins of one hundred denominations, and the remainder of 221 was what he had earned by breathing during this time.

Haven't you cashed out the assets in your secret stash hidden in your secret base?

I'll have to find some time in the next day or two to get it back.

That said, what can you get in the system's shop with one million points?

Driven by intense curiosity, Suo Cailing began browsing the virtual shopping mall interface in front of him.

…………

As mentioned in the system's previous "self-introduction," it currently has three functions.

Lottery draws, purchasing items, and adding skill points.

The money-seeking spirit looked at them one by one.

The lottery interface is a fancy spinning wheel, similar to the lottery prices displayed by some merchants that Suocailing sometimes sees when he goes shopping outside the sewers.

However, this lottery seems to have different prize pools, with a base price of one thousand per draw and a maximum of ten million per draw.

In other words, my points aren't even enough for one draw from the top prize pool?

Suo Cailing clicked his tongue slightly and curiously clicked into the highest-level prize pool.

The prizes with the lowest probability of being drawn, yet also the best, are: Ghost Horse Mane, Lunala Wings, and Registeel Essence...

These are all things that the spirit seeking wealth has never heard of before.

Although the Money-Seeking Spirit had never heard of these spirits, it knew a simple truth.

The less you've heard of a spirit, the rarer it tends to be; it might even be a legendary spirit.

In contrast, the prize pool for 1,000 times only contains the most common Pokémon items such as healing potions and energy cubes. Even the top prize at the very top is just a single gold bead.

The shrewd money-grubber came to a conclusion: when it comes to lotteries, you should always pick the most expensive ones.

It's a pity I can't smoke it now...

Suo Cailing turned his gaze to the second interface of the shop with some regret, and added points.

This interface is much simpler, with fewer fancy features; it's just a basic properties panel.

Name: Suo Cailing

Race: Sai Fuhao

Gender: None

Energy Level: 31

Characteristic: Escape

Health Stamina: 87 (Click to increase)

Attack: 34 (Click to increase)

Defense: 40 (Click to increase)

Special Attack: 84 (…)

Special Defense: 55 (…)

Speed: 88 (...)

…………

The Money-Seeking Spirit knows these six data points are the six abilities used to judge a spirit's strength. Has the system visualized them in numerical form...?

Wait, putting abilities aside for now, why is that race... Sai Fuhao?

What does this mean? Aren't I a money-grubbing spirit?

Could it be... the evolved form of himself that Xia Chen is researching?

Suo Cailing was suddenly startled, realizing this possibility that made his heart race.

So the Money-Stealing Spirit... really does have an evolved form!

Regardless of the mode of evolution, the existence of the endpoint is certain, which reassured the previously skeptical Money-Seeking Spirit.

Putting that aside for now, Suocailing noticed another unusual thing about the panel: after all the attributes, there was a small plus sign.

Adding to that the consistent phrase "Click to upgrade," Suo Cailing had a rough idea.

It tried touching the plus sign next to [Speed], and a payment interface immediately appeared on the panel.

[1000 points will increase one attribute point. Purchase?]

1000 is a little bit? It doesn't seem too expensive. I'll give it a try.

The Money Spirit agreed, and a flash of golden light disappeared, increasing its speed from 88 to 89.

But apart from that, nothing seems to have changed...

Suo Cailing tried jogging for a while, but it didn't seem to be much different from before. Could it be that the improvement was not obvious?

Suo Cailing thought it was very likely, and then decided to continue adding points. Anyway, it was 1000 points at a time, and he had enough of the million points he had to add 1,000 points.

Click again to increase speed.

[1000 points will increase one attribute point. Purchase? (Click to turn off notifications)]

After checking the box to turn off notifications, Suocailing selected to make a purchase.

Having to confirm every time is a bit annoying, so this system seems quite intelligent.

The second time he added points, the speed remained unchanged, so Suocailing continued to add points with his eyes closed.

Three times, four times, five times...

It seems the speed has indeed increased somewhat?

continue!

The sixth, the seventh...

[Sorry, you do not have enough points. Would you like to top up?]

The seventh attempt to add points was interrupted by a system notification, leaving Suocai Ling somewhat bewildered.

A thousand per use? I've only used it six times and you're already short of funds?

Can't you do math? Or is there a system malfunction?

Suo Cailing opened the points balance interface, only to find that the points balance was only 778451.

It was dumbfounded; shouldn't it be over 990,000?

At this moment, it noticed an inconspicuous text below the points balance: [Points Consumption Records], and immediately clicked on it.

Then I saw my recent spending record for the points I had just spent.

It started out normally, 1000, 1000, then suddenly jumped to 10000, 10000, and then there were two spending records of 100,000!

Suo Cailing finally understood why he didn't have enough points to add...

Based on this pattern of price increases, the price will definitely reach one million starting from the seventh time!

Is this how you raise prices, you bastard!

Stop calling it the Godly Rich System and start calling it the Vampire System!

The spirit of the wealth-seeking creature trembled all over and immediately called for customer service to question it.

"System, what's with this stat allocation?"

[Hello, the Godly Rich System is dedicated to serving you. Our algorithm is sound; please consider your own situation.]

The money-seeking spirit understood; didn't that mean, "Isn't it because you haven't tried hard enough?"

This lousy system is infuriating!

The Money-Gathering Spirit was furious, but it couldn't do anything about the system, so it could only silently blacklist the stat-adding interface in its mind.

Let whoever wants to add this stupid point add it! If I add it again, I'm a dog!

[Each system upgrade resets the starting purchase amount. Your experience has met the upgrade requirements. Do you wish to upgrade the system?]

The Money-Gathering Spirit: "......"

Looking at it this way... it seems alright?

"No upgrade for now."

The Money Spirit remained quite calm. He hadn't even added points to the other five attributes yet. He wouldn't waste a thousand or ten thousand points, let alone spend 100,000 to add one point.

Back on the attribute point allocation screen, Suocailing allocated points to the other five attributes four times each before selecting the upgrade system.

…………

After spending over 200,000 points, Suo Cailing upgraded the system to level two, doubling the bonus for each breath to two yuan, and resetting the purchase amount for attribute points to 1000 points.

Apart from that, there were no other changes.

The next upgrade will require one million points, which isn't too far off, but Suocailing isn't in a hurry to upgrade right now.

It then looked at the last screen of the points mall: item purchase.

This interface is much more comprehensive, with a dazzling array of props that make your eyes dazzled.

Especially the string of zeros marked on the props, it made Suo Cailing's blood pressure rise.
