Pokémon development strategy

Going further in, there are fossils of tentacle lilies and archaic feathered insects on display.

These two Pokémon became extinct 1 million years ago. The corresponding root fossils and claw fossils were first discovered by Dr. Solance. Meteorites and fossils are always inseparable, which is also the charm of Akiba Town.

With fossils that retain sufficient genetic data and energy sequences, the tentacle lily and the ancient feather worm have been successfully resurrected by Devin Company.

Unlike the process in the game where you can be resurrected by simply finding the corresponding fossil, if the energy factors contained in the fossil are not sufficient, you cannot be resurrected.

Just like the two fossils in front of us, which are kept in the Qiuye Town Fossil Exhibition Hall, there is no way to turn them into lively tentacle lilies and ancient feathered insects.

After listening to Shen Qi's introduction, the Pokémons felt like they were on a roller coaster.

First, I heard that they were extinct, and I felt a little depressed;

Then, I heard that Devon was able to revive fossil Pokémon, and my spirits rose again;

When I heard that the energy factors of these two fossils were not enough to revive them and they were dead, my mood dropped to the lowest point again.

At first, Shen Qi really didn't expect that the fossil exhibition hall would bring such strong emotional fluctuations to his Pokémon. If he had known earlier, he would have just brought Madam Hua Jie in.

Put yourself in their shoes. When you enter a human exhibition hall and see some ancient ape skulls, and then see a corpse specimen of a modern Homo sapiens, people usually have ups and downs in their emotions.

During the lunch break, Miss Quner said she couldn't take it anymore, so she took out her cell phone and arranged other activities.

"Oh? Regular season."

The purpose of letting Miss Skirt wear the Flower Crown and come to the Hoenn region with the extra cost is to play one or two regular season games here, get the prize money to make back the money, and maybe even make some more.

There was news about the regular season in Shuijing City before, but unfortunately I only saw the announcement on the night I checked into the hotel. The registration time had not passed, but the quota was full.

Miss Skirt’s current regular season game is at Yuanyao Lake.

There is no such place in the game. Far Lake appears in the animation, where there are a large number of sweet fireflies and electric fireflies, both of which are classified as firefly Pokémon.

All sweet fireflies are female, while all electric fireflies are male. During the breeding season, they will gather in groups of sweet fireflies and perform a brilliant courtship dance, which is a very unique sight in Yuanyao Lake.

It’s a pity that it’s winter now, and the sweet fireflies and electric fireflies are not courting each other, so there’s nothing to see.

"You go and practice. My wife and I will hold on and finish our tour of the fossil exhibition hall."

As if she had been pardoned, Miss Qun'er quickly contacted Long-Eared Rabbit, and Duoduo also ran away.

Chapter 372 Shopping Plan

The fossil exhibition hall was also huge in scale. Shen Qi went there again the next day to walk through the rest of the area.

In the center of the top floor of the exhibition hall is a skeleton of a large bird, with even traces of feathers clearly imprinted on the fossil.

It was a pied eagle, and the fossil was formed very recently, only about 1 years ago.

According to the description on the introduction board, this Pidgeot was waiting for its trainer, but the trainer never came and eventually it turned into a fossil.

The story reminded Shen Qi of Maiden Gorge, one of the winter race tracks. The girl watched her husband going to the battle from afar on the beach and finally turned into a stone statue.

However, Pidgeot is even more miserable than the girl. He is not waiting for a specific trainer. He is purely a wild Pokémon who has honed his skills and wants to follow his trainer to conquer the world.

As a result, no one took him away until he turned into a fossil.

"As expected of Pidgeot, he comes with the destiny buff of staying in the mountains."

Shen Qi had a fairly fulfilling visit to the Meteorite Exhibition Hall. He was able to understand most of the things he saw. Even for those things he really didn't understand, he could still get a general idea from the introduction signs.

Unlike the fossil exhibition hall, the introduction signs talked about various elements, substances, reactions, and speculations about their origins from certain celestial bodies. I could recognize every word but couldn't understand them when they were put together.

Mrs. Hua Jie felt exactly the opposite. At the meteorite exhibition hall, she just concentrated her attention on sensing whether the crystal petals that were integrated into her body had any reaction. But when it came to the fossils... although she didn't gain anything, she still felt shocked.

When she walked out of the meteorite exhibition hall, Mrs. Hua Jie felt her body go limp.

Shen Qi handed the drink he bought to Madam Hua Jie, "You've worked hard, sit down and take a rest."

The infrastructure of Qiuye Town cannot be compared with that of big cities. The benches on the roadside are basically made of the leftover scraps of excavated ore and raw stones. Looking around, they are all stone benches on the same street, but they look different.

After drinking some drinks, Mrs. Hua Jie felt much better. "Thank you for helping me search with you, sir."

"Wherever there is."

To be honest, Shen Qi felt that the ticket price for the Fossil Exhibition Hall was worth it and it was truly an eye-opener. However, it was not convenient to say such things in front of Pokémon, especially since Madam Hua Jie had just experienced the visual and emotional impact of various Pokémon fossils.

The exhibits in the two exhibition halls will be rotated and updated every once in a while, but it is impossible for Shen Qi to settle in the Hoenn area. Before leaving Akihabara Town, the two exhibition halls are no longer worth exploring again.

[Narrator: Madam Hua Jie felt guilty, and Shen Qi followed her all the way here, but in the end, she got nothing.]

"gentlemen…"

"It's okay, it's just a casual trip."

Looking at the narration prompts on the text interface, Shen Qi knew in advance what Madam Hua Jie wanted to say.

Before the winter competition, when Shen Qi planned the journey to Qiuye Town, he talked to everyone about how it was possible to predict a place in his mind and find clues to the crystal petals by just rushing over. It was highly likely that it was just a trip.

For Pokémon trainers, there are always actions in life where they accompany Pokémon on long journeys. Even if the predetermined goals are not achieved, there are still other gains.

"Where are you going to take me next, sir?"

This simple sentence shows Mrs. Hua Jie's mentality. When she asked Shen Qi "where are you taking her", it was obvious that she approved of him and was willing to follow him.

After all, the script strategy level is 43%, which is already halfway. It is reasonable for Madam Hua Jie to have such a high degree of recognition for Shen Qi.

"Go to the Stone Forest District."

As early as the day when Zimei came to express her gratitude, she and her sister listened to the purpose of Shen Qi's trip and discussed several places that met the requirements.

Needless to say, the two museums also have Meteor Falls and Stone Forest Blocks to mention.

Ordinary world lines do not have so many meteorite impacts, nor are there any dangers of super-large meteorites. Meteor Falls and Liuli City are among the few terrain areas with traces of super-large meteorite impacts.

Meteorite and fossil enthusiasts, as well as scientific researchers, often go in and out of Meteor Falls, hoping to discover something good. This has been the case for the past two or three hundred years, but in fact, it is very difficult to pick up treasure by chance.

Besides, entering Meteor Falls is like going on a wild adventure, so the sisters certainly wouldn't consider it as a high priority.

The last place mentioned is Shilin Street District, which is actually a street of street stalls for shopping, or a flea market.

In Qiuye Town, the street vendors mainly sell stones, all kinds of stones, so it is named: Stone Forest Street

As a rational tourist, you should know very well that it is possible to find good stuff in the street markets where you look for antiques and treasures, but the probability is quite small.

The patrons and stall owners who often go there are all experts in identifying goods. The rare treasures that appear will be recognized by them first. And since the treasures are repeatedly misjudged by experts, the probability of them falling into the hands of tourists is extremely small.

However, the Shilin District is still worth visiting.

In many novels, especially fantasy novels, two scenes where the protagonists often pick up bargains and make huge profits are shopping districts and auction houses.

Anyway, there are always detection techniques provided by the golden finger to find the real treasures that many experts have missed.

Shen Qi's situation is similar. The detection method is of course Madam Hua Jie. Take her for a walk around the Shilin Street District twice. The crystal petals sensed something and were not put aside. That was a huge profit.

Don’t believe other things sold on the street even if the stall owners exaggerate their prices.

After listening to Shen Qi's analysis, Mrs. Hua Jie expressed her agreement very gently.

Compared to going to the fossil exhibition hall, going to the Stone Forest Street area for bargain hunting has much less psychological burden.

Like most mysterious shopping districts, Shilin District gradually becomes lively in the afternoon, and there are still a large number of customers late at night and even in the early morning.

After returning to the residence to rest for a while and have dinner, Miss Qun'er had already taken Long-Eared Rabbit to go running in the mountains to get a feel for it.

It's rare for Jilidan to go into the mountains to practice hard, and Shen Qi allowed her to stay there until tomorrow at the latest. Of course, she would not return early for no reason.

The phone lit up with messages from friends, and Mayumi asked Shen Qi how his shopping was today.

I politely replied, "What a pity," that I didn't find what I wanted. Fortunately, the contents of the fossil exhibition hall were indeed very attractive, and the trip was worthwhile.

Talk to Mayumi again and we plan to visit the Shilin Street District tonight and in the next one or two days.

When she heard about going to Shilin Street District, Mayumi said there was really nothing she could do to help.

As an independent researcher who is extremely socially anxious and not good at communicating with others, for Zhen Youmei to go to a crowded shopping venue, the psychological challenge is no less difficult than asking an ordinary person to wear a swimsuit to go to the supermarket to buy groceries.

ID Shen Qi: Don’t be so polite

To be honest, there is no need to bring a scientific researcher with you to a shopping district where 99% of the places are full of scams.

Mayumi provided a three-bedroom, one-living-room suite for Shen Qi to live in, fulfilling her duty as a host.

After replying the message, Shen Qi helped Madam Hua Jie clean up the kitchen. When living in someone else's house, it's best not to make it messy.

"Let's go, let's go to the Stone Forest District!"

Guji!

With Madam Huajie and Duoduo, this Taobao team is very serious.

Chapter 373 Stone Forest Block

As night falls, the Shilin Street area is lit up with lights.

How to describe this place...

It looks like an old town that has been half demolished.

The area is about the size of seven or eight athletic fields, and the roads are all paved with very rough stone slabs. Most of the old and ancient buildings are low, about two or three stories high, and are clustered in a small area to the south.

That's why Shen Qi described it as half of the old city being demolished.

Although it is Qiuye Town's top trading center, the infrastructure of Shilin Street District is still not very good. It uses old-fashioned dim street lamps, with one lamp every ten meters, making the entire area look dim and sallow.

Experienced bargain hunters will bring their own flashlights or miner-style headlamps, and some stall owners will also put out camping lights and lanterns, so that from outside the Stone Forest Street District you can always see a large number of swaying lights, as if the residents of an ancient tribe are performing some kind of ritual around torches.

Shen Qi brought Duoduo and Madam Hua Jie into the Shilin Street District. In fact, this place does not have a so-called front door or back door, and the venue is accessible from all directions.

The items on the peripheral stalls are all pretty normal, small sculptures of sun rocks and moon rocks, and handicrafts.

You can also see Pokémon items: hard stone, cold rock...

The former can enhance the power of rock-type skills; the latter is used to extend the duration of snow and hail skill effects.

Unlike Pokémon items purchased directly from stores, the items sold in the Stone Forest District are closer to the original ore.

For example, for cold rocks, the store will cut them and carve out energy circuits for them, so you can just take them home and use them.

The cold rock on the stall in front of me was a large piece of ordinary shelter attached to it, like a car tire.

If the buyer can cut the cold rock into several pieces of normal weight after buying it, then he makes a profit. If the cut cold rock is of low quality, small in weight, and contains many impurities, then he loses money.

The same goes for the Evolution Stones sold at nearby stalls.

The Fire Stone, together with the remaining rocks wrapped around it, is as big as a gas tank. The stall owner sells it for 2b and you can take it back and cut it yourself.

Shen Qi checked the price of Fire Stone in the real world. A standard piece is about 3000b, which is not much different from the price in the game.

It should be noted that in reality some Pokémon have higher requirements and need to consume the attribute energy of two or three Fire Stones at the same time in order to evolve.

Pokémon that failed to evolve can adjust their status and evolve again with a new Fire Stone.

The price of each one is not expensive, and the consumption is much greater than in the game.

The gas tank-sized Fire Stone ore on the stall is sold for 2 baht. Judging from the size, it is more than enough to cut out more than ten standard-sized Fire Stones.

But no one knows whether the proportion of impurities inside will be high after cutting, whether there will be any quality problems, and the cost of cutting and polishing is also part of the cost.

It really feels a bit like gambling on stones.

Shen Qi knew that such shop owners probably had rock-type or fire-type Pokémon, and could roughly understand the situation inside the ore. They knew that they would probably make a profit by selling it for 2b, so there was no need to rely on luck.

Outside the Shilin Street District, stone carvings and various raw minerals are not outrageous and the prices are within a reasonable range.

Some hand-carved stone carvings are sold for around 100 or 200 euros, which is a decent price/performance ratio.

As we continue walking into the Stone Forest District, the scenery starts to become more mysterious.

Most of the stall owners don't shout, but light lamps and make tea, looking like mysterious and unfathomable masters.

Sometimes he would suddenly glare at Shen Qimeng, wave at him, or say sternly, "You have a very good-looking face, and it goes very well with the treasure on the stall. If it were someone else, he wouldn't sell it at all."

Shen Qi used to work as a truck driver and traveled all over the country, encountering many deceptive sellers.

Now with this guy, who is about sixteen or seventeen years old and looks like a foreigner, it would be strange if we don’t try to take advantage of him.

Now that you are here, let’s take a look at the ways of the vendors in the Pokémon world.

"Young man, you look like a noble and upright person."

"That's true."

No matter how the other party cheated him later, Shen Qi had to admit that he was good at judging people.
