However, how much you can earn depends on your own ability. Most people will choose to participate in various competitions. This is the easiest and most accessible way, but it emphasizes strength the most.
In addition to this, there are also part-time jobs available such as being a Douyin blogger, a Bilibili up-host, live streaming, going to police stations, construction sites, etc., and it’s a question of how much money you can earn.
He probably has to find a way to make money this summer, otherwise all the pressure will be on his parents, and Steel and Rock-type Pokémon are known for being big eaters.
"stare!"
My cell phone rang. I opened it and saw a message from Liu Bin on Penguin.
Liu Bin: "Brother Jing, let's go out for barbecue tonight. It's my treat (smiley face)."
……
Rongcheng Shangcang Food Street is particularly famous in the whole Rongcheng. This can be seen from the three comments made by others about it: the most, the most fragrant, and the most lively.
The food street is five kilometers away from Taiyu Community, and it only takes a short bus ride to get there.
At this time, the sun was almost completely submerged in the horizon, the sky was covered by sunset glow, and the high temperature of the sun began to gradually dissipate.
Time: 6:15
As soon as you get off the bus at Jiangjing Bus Station, you can see the food street not far away, and many stalls have already started setting up.
People began to move around, and the aroma of snacks filled the entire street.
The BBQ Beach is located in the second half of the food street and is not in the most prosperous central area. According to Liu Bin, the closer to the center, the more expensive the rent is, and the location is not very large.
So we chose the seats in the back half as they are large enough for more than 20 tables to dine at the same time.
“Try it, try it, it’s delicious Bobo Chicken, absolutely authentic!”
"Boss, give me a glass of mango sago!"
"Don't run around, wang!"
"I heard there's a stinky tofu shop up ahead that's pretty good."
……
The colorful lights and countless delicious snacks complement each other. The people and elves coming and going make the whole street lively and bustling, and the atmosphere of fireworks fills the entire food street.
Jiang Jing walked to the door of a milk tea shop whose logo was based on an ice Vulpix and took a look at the golden fortune meowth on the counter.
The waiter smiled and asked, "Hello, what would you like to drink?"
Jiang Jing: "Two cups of signature milk tea, one with pearls and one with coconut."
Five minutes later, Jiang Jing arrived at his destination. The shop in front of him had a neon sign hanging high above it: Liu Ji BBQ Restaurant.
There was a person standing at the door of the store. It was Liu Bin. When he saw Jiang Jing coming, he laughed and scolded: "Do you know how long I have been waiting? Half an hour."
Jiang Jing handed him a cup of pearl milk tea and said, "Then, I'll treat you to your favorite ice fox milk tea."
Liu Bin took the milk tea and said, "Oh, it's good."
"Come on, my mom has reserved an excellent seat for us, let's go in quickly."
At this time, the first floor of the barbecue restaurant was almost full, with only one seat empty; the others had already started eating.
The entire barbecue restaurant is divided into two floors, and the seats on the second floor are almost full. Liu Bin took Jiang Jing to a corner seat on the second floor, where it was cooler and they could feel the cool breeze.
After I sat down, someone came over. She was a slightly plump middle-aged woman, about 162 cm tall, with ordinary looks and a kind smile. She was Liu Bin's mother.
There is a lot of sweat on the forehead at this time, which seems to be caused by being too busy.
Aunt Liu smiled and said, "Xiao Jing is here, eat more today and don't be polite to us."
Jiang Jing smiled and said, "Thank you, Auntie."
Liu Bin said: "Mom, we have already told you what we want."
Aunt Liu said, "Your dad is already baking it. It will be ready soon. Okay, I'll go get busy now. I won't disturb you anymore."
Inside the barbecue restaurant, besides Liu's father and mother, there were two shop assistants and two elves helping out.
Jiang Jing asked curiously, "Why did you call me over tonight? And treat me to a barbecue? So extravagant?"
Liu Bin took a sip of milk tea and said, "Nothing much, I just want to find someone to chat with."
"By the way, Brother Jing, my initial elf has hatched." He looked a little proud when he said this.
Jiang Jing asked curiously: "Oh? What kind of elf is it?"
Liu Bin took out his phone, opened the photo album and handed it over, saying, "It's the kitten monster!"
Jiang Jing took the phone and took a look. The photo showed a little cat monster, just like a kitten, with the front half of its body blue and the back half black; there were four-pointed star patterns on its ears and tail.
He was surprised and said, "The final evolution of the kitten monster is the Roentgen cat, whose racial value is over 500. The newly hatched kitten monster has a two-star qualification."
"Your family actually bought you a two-star qualification?"
Liu Bin explained: "I was also surprised. When I first found out, I was so happy that I went crazy."
"My dad told me that he and my mom didn't want me to lose at the starting line, and that they worked so hard to make money for me."
"So I gritted my teeth and spent 150,000 to buy a little cat monster's elf egg, hehe." Liu Bin could no longer hide his smile as he said this.
Oh my god, didn't we agree to start the game as mortals? Why did you secretly spend money?
After showing off for a while, Aunt Liu brought out a large plate of meat skewers.
After eating a few skewers, Jiang Jing said, "It tastes really good. I have to come to your house for barbecue. I can't eat anywhere else."
Liu Bin smiled and said, "Of course, otherwise my family wouldn't have such a good business. We have been here for more than ten years."
"By the way, where is your initial elf? Didn't you say your father had prepared one for you?"
Jiang Jing calmly took out his phone and handed it to him, saying, "Well, this is my initial elf. Like you, it was just hatched today."
Liu Bin took it and took a look.
"Cocodora, ah, Cocodora!"
Liu Bin's eyes widened and he shouted, "Fuck, it's Kokodora, what's going on!"
Jiang Jing said, "Calm down, there's nothing to be surprised about."
Then he explained the origin of Kokodora again.
Liu Bin's expression became very complicated after hearing this, and he instantly felt that the barbecue in front of him was no longer fragrant.
We are all unlucky, but suddenly one day a friend tells you that he is actually a European king.
This was probably how Liu Bin felt at the moment.
Liu Bin said with some jealousy: "You are so lucky. You just picked up a two-star Kokodora. It's like you picked up hundreds of thousands of dollars for nothing."
"Why don't I have such good luck? Damn, if I had known earlier I would have let you treat me. Turns out the clown is actually me."
After calming down, Liu Bin said, "There is one more thing. When my parents bought me a cat monster, they also gave me a first-generation Pokémon Illustrated Book."
"I have been using my sister's old one, but now I have a new one and the old one is useless."
"Do you want it? If you want, I'll sell it to you at a low price."
Chapter 9 The Eye of Data (Please collect, recommend, and vote for me!
Jiang Jing was a little surprised and said, "Isn't this bullshit? I definitely want it. How much do you plan to sell it to me for?"
Liu Bin rolled his eyes and said, "The original version of the Elf Illustrated Book is now priced at 6999 yuan in the official flagship store."
"Because it's second-hand and has been used for several years, I'll sell it to you for 2000."
Jiang Jing shook his head and said, "It's too expensive. We have been friends for so many years, are you embarrassed to sell it to me at such a high price?"
"A second-hand Pokémon Encyclopedia initial edition on Xianyu is only 1500. How about this, sell it to me for 1400."
Liu Bin clapped his hands and said, "You really got a good price. My machine is different from the ones on Xianyu. The ones on Xianyu are all tattered and broken, and I don't know what's wrong with them, so I only sell them for 1500."
"I have taken good care of this one, all its functions are still in place, and it looks like new on the surface. How dare you say 1400?"
Jiang Jing said: "You already have a new one, so you can sell me the old one at a low price."
So Jiang Jing spent a few minutes discussing with Liu Bin intensely. Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore and waved his hand and said, "Forget it, 1400, just 1400. Just treat it as a loss-making deal."
Jiang Jing said: "That's right, come on, let's have some barbecue."
Liu Bin took a big bite of a skewer of meat to vent his frustration.
……
It was already past nine o'clock after eating the barbecue, and Liu Bin planned to stay in the barbecue restaurant to help.
Jiang Jing himself took the bus home.
On the bus, he took out a red cube-shaped machine from his bag, like a game console.
When you open it, you will see a black screen on top and four buttons on the bottom; this is the legendary initial version of the Pokemon Encyclopedia, or the first generation of the Pokemon Encyclopedia.
The first generation of Pokémon illustrated books released in China in 2001 according to the New Alliance Calendar.
It is very similar to the Pokémon encyclopedia in previous games and animations, and has similar functions.
When you see an unfamiliar Pokémon during your travels, just open the atlas camera and point it at a button, and the Pokémon's detailed information will appear.
However, the information in the first-generation illustrated book is different for each country, and they are all the elves owned by the country.
The information is incomplete and only available in Chinese, not in other languages.
When this Pokémon Encyclopedia was first released, it was priced at 30,000 yuan per unit, which was ridiculously expensive, but those who bought it were all rich people, and they didn't think it was expensive at all.
The quantity is also limited, and once it is released, it is sold out. If you want it, you can only find scalpers to buy it at a higher price. Ordinary people can't buy it at all.
The price only came down after production increased and new versions were developed.
Jiang Jing originally thought about buying a second-hand Pokémon Encyclopedia, but he thought it was too expensive and not cost-effective, so he didn't buy it. Unexpectedly, he would have one today, and the price was within his affordable range.
He knew that Liu Bin didn't plan to sell it for much, so he just sold it at a low price as he said.
"Ok?"
He felt a little hot in his chest, he looked down, patted his chest, and suddenly his consciousness seemed to be pulled into a void, where there was only a huge colorful bead.
There was gray airflow all around the beads, and a stream of colorful light turned into water from the colorful beads and flowed out along his body into the elf illustration in his hand.
The black screen suddenly flashed, then turned on automatically, and a picture of a small fire dragon with detailed information appeared on the screen.
Then it flashed by and switched to Bulbasaur, then switched to Pikachu, and then kept switching Pokémons, and the speed was getting faster and faster, like a slide show, it was a bit daunting to watch.
It kept getting faster and faster, and it was now so fast that I couldn't see which sprite would be the next one to switch.
Jiang Jing's heart was filled with turbulent waves, but he showed no reaction on the surface. He was very calm, staring at the Pokémon Encyclopedia in his hand. He had a premonition that something terrible was about to happen.
He was sitting in the last row of the bus, with no one around him except three people in front of him, and no one noticed anything unusual here.
The abnormality in the Elf Encyclopedia lasted for five minutes before it ended. The screen suddenly went dark, as if it had crashed.
The next moment, Jiang Jing felt an extremely special energy flow rushing out from the atlas at an extremely fast speed and rushing to his forehead at lightning speed.
It struck his brain with a bang.
He felt as if his head was hit hard by a heavy hammer.
The sudden pain made his eyes darken, his consciousness was immersed in pain, and his brain went blank in an instant.
Everything happened so suddenly that he didn't even have time to scream. He could only hold on to his seat tightly to ease the pain.
In the pain, countless memories about elves emerged in his mind one by one without him realizing it, whether it was animation, games, theatrical versions, special comics or all the current knowledge about elves came to his mind like a passing glance.
I don’t know how long it took, but the memories finally ended and the pain disappeared.
Jiang Jing opened his eyes and regained consciousness. He looked at the driver and passengers in front of him, as well as the broadcast in his ears, and felt as if he was in another world.
He was in a daze for thirty seconds before he came to his senses. He had only one feeling: this was really like a dream.
I took out my cell phone and checked the time. Only fifteen minutes had passed.
The incident just now made him feel that some unknown changes had taken place in his body. He didn't know what specific changes had taken place, so he could only wait until he got home to explore it. He needed to slow down now.
After a while, the bus arrived at the station and he got off the bus staggeringly.
After walking slowly for a while and breathing the fresh air, he felt much better.
When we reached the gate, under the night light, a man in his sixties with white hair and brown casual clothes was walking in front with a Kitty puppy following behind him.
Jiang Jing greeted him, "Grandpa Lin, are you back from your walk?"
