He hadn't taken it seriously before, thinking that it was not easy to meet a rich man who liked stones and was willing to spend a fortune on a stone, but he actually met one. It was really strange.
After asking around, the two of them stood on a high place and looked at the people who were scattered around the mountains looking for stones.
"How's it going? Any ideas?"
Zhuang Yan asked.
Su Yuan said with a frown.
"Although it is possible that some people really like to collect stones, I always feel that this matter is not that simple. After all, there is no such thing as pie falling from the sky, and even if there is, not everyone can pick it up."
Zhuang Yan nodded in agreement. This whole thing gave off a weird feeling.
"Then let's go into the city and take a look?"
"I think it's ok, let's go."
The two released Charizard and Fiery Eagle again and headed straight for Suzhou City.
Suzhou, if you ask me what Suzhou is most famous for.
It must be a Chinese classical garden. After all, it is in the textbook. Su Yuan still remembers reciting that text when he was a child.
Suzhou.
When the two actually entered the city, they found that it was somewhat different from the Suzhou City they had imagined.
Neither of them had actually been to this place, and all they knew about it came from textbooks and ancient poems.
Like the text about Suzhou Gardens, Hanshan Temple outside Gusu City, and the midnight bell reaching the passenger ship.
So much so that in their imagination, Suzhou should be more ancient.
However, what appeared in their eyes at this moment was a highly modernized city. A huge high-rise building stood in the center of the city, like a giant pillar standing tall against the sky. Not far away was an arched high-rise building, full of modern feel.
Well, but in Su Yuan's opinion, it looks a bit like a pair of big pants standing up.
"Where are we going next?"
Su Yuan took a look at the 'big pants' before turning his head to ask Zhuang Yan.
Zhuang Yan thought for a moment and said.
"Let's find a place to stay first. Although they said that the rich man is collecting stones in the city, they didn't specify where. Let's find a place to rest first and then collect some information."
"Okay, I think that's fine."
In fact, they didn't have to pay any attention to the rich man who collected stones. They could just rest for a night, replenish their supplies and continue their journey.
But Su Yuan always felt that this matter was not so simple, maybe...
Su Yuan frowned as he thought about it.
Maybe, all of this could be related to the Honghuang Organization. After all, you can never predict what a group of crazy people who believe in myths and legends will do.
Of course, this is just Su Yuan’s guess, and it is only the worst possible scenario.
"Hey, hey, hey, no way, is this so outrageous?"
While Su Yuan was lost in thought, Zhuang Yan fed him three times in a row, with an expression of disbelief written all over his face.
Su Yuan asked curiously.
"What's wrong, Brother Zhuang Yan?"
Zhuang Yan handed the phone to Su Yuan and said.
"Brother Su Yuan, look, all the hotels have no rooms for rent. They are all full."
"what?"
Su Yuan was stunned and took a look. Wow, it was true. All the hotels shown on the mobile app were fully booked.
"How did that happen?"
Su Yuan rubbed his eyebrows in confusion, feeling it was unbelievable.
Logically speaking, Suzhou is a tourist city, and there should be many hotels in the city. Even if other tourists stay in some of the rooms, it is unlikely that all the rooms are full.
"I see!"
Zhuang Yan suddenly thought of something and had an expression of "I see."
"what happened?"
"Shitou, the merchant who collects stones."
"A merchant who collects stones? Oh——"
Su Yuan also reacted.
The news that someone is willing to spend a lot of money to collect stones must have spread. After all, the Internet is extremely developed nowadays and news can be transmitted very quickly.
When people from other places get to know this news, they will definitely want to come and make a fortune, and then occupy the hotel.
No wonder some people's accents didn't sound like locals when they were asking about the specific situation on the mountain. It turned out that the people who came from outside to sell stones did not leave after selling the stones, but went straight in to look for new stones to make another profit, right?
"So what do we do?"
Zhuang Yan also fell into deep thought, and said yes after a moment.
"Let's go to the city. In addition to the hotels listed online, there may be some hotels that are not listed online. If that doesn't work, we can just stay at the Pokémon Center for the night."
It is inconvenient to build a shelter in the city, otherwise Su Yuan would directly ask Boskodora to build a stone house on the ground of the park.
After searching for a while, they finally found a low-rent house. They had no choice but to squeeze in and stay there for the night.
But the good news is that they found out a lot of information while looking for accommodation. The most important point is that they found out the location of the stone merchant.
In the low-rent apartment, the two sat on the small bed and discussed their next plan, and the purple fat man Gengar stood opposite them.
"Geng Gui, take out all the things."
Su Yuan looked at Gengar, who looked reluctant and shook his head.
"Gengga~!"
"No?
Haha, do you still want energy cubes? I don't want your other stuff, just take out those nice-looking and unique stones, and after you exchange them for money, you can eat as many energy cubes as you want."
"Really?"
Gengar's eyes widened, as if asking if this was true?
Su Yuan nodded.
"Really? I'll buy you energy cubes after you change the money."
As Su Yuan said this, he added in his heart, You can buy it, but I have the final say on how much it sells for.
He took a fancy to a new portable energy cube making machine. This machine was smaller than the traditional energy cube making machine, but the quality of the energy cubes it produced was similar. The most important point was that the price was acceptable to Su Yuan.
So he planned to save money to buy this machine, so that he wouldn't need to buy energy cubes in the future.
Chapter 271, Nails
After getting Su Yuan's assurance, Gengar began to continuously take things out of his stomach.
All kinds of fancy things were piled up on the floor.
"Stop, stop, stop, stop."
Su Yuan stopped Geng Gui.
"These are not what I want. These things are useless. What I want is stone."
As he said this, he took out the stone that the girl with glasses had given him from his pocket.
"You should have something like this, with special patterns on it, or a stone with a very special shape."
Gengar took a look at the stone in Su Yuan's hand, and then his eyes lit up, as if a light bulb suddenly popped up in his head.
"Gengga~!"
Gengar showed a look of understanding, then stuffed the thing on the ground back into his stomach.
After a while, more than a dozen strangely shaped stones appeared in front of the two.
"Wow, there really are some. These stones are quite interesting."
Zhuang Yan picked up two stones and looked at them. One of the stones looked a bit like a leaf, and the other looked a bit like a smaller version of Gengar.
"Well done. Let me see. Pick out a few special stones and we'll go take a look at what's going on."
The two of them picked two stones with peculiar shapes, and Su Yuan chose two stones with special patterns. The pattern on one stone looked a bit like flames, while the pattern on the other stone looked like snowflakes.
Zhuang Yan took two image stones, one was a smaller version of Guoran Weng, and the other was a smaller version of Swamp King.
He originally wanted to take the mini Gengar's piece, but Gengar wouldn't let him.
After getting ready, the two went out.
Several parasols were set up in a park outside a luxury hotel. Under the parasols were several tables. Several staff members in suits were sitting behind the tables identifying the stones brought by other people.
A long queue of workers who came to exchange stones for money had formed, stretching from the center of the park to almost outside the park.
"Hiss, wow, there are so many people."
Looking at the long queue, Su Yuan couldn't help but sigh.
"That can't be helped, just queue up."
The two of them lined up separately, one on each side, in order to collect more information.
Su Yuan found an excuse to chat with the uncles from the two parties in front and behind. After chatting for a while, Su Yuan asked.
"Uncle, do you know where this stone collector comes from? He is so rich that he paid 300,000 for a single stone."
"I'm not too sure about this, but I heard he's a big boss from the capital, and he's very rich."
"Well, I did tell you that this boss's ancestors were stone collectors and collected a lot of stones. They also collected stones from other places before."
Su Yuan nodded thoughtfully, then asked again.
"I have collected stones in other places, so why didn't I hear about it before?"
"I'm not sure about this."
"Another uncle took over."
"I've heard some rumors about this."
"Oh, what kind of rumor is that? Tell me about it."
Su Yuan and an old man in front of him pricked up their ears to listen to what the rumor was.
“I heard that this big boss’s collection of stones is not just a simple collection.
Young man, I think you are also a trainer, so you should know what Mega Evolution Stones and Z Crystals are. "
Su Yuan nodded.
"Yes, of course I know. Could it be that he is collecting these stones?"
The uncle shook his head.
"No, if he wanted to buy these stones, he wouldn't come to us to buy them. Besides, how can such things be traded casually? They are all regulated."
Well, whether it's the Mega Evolution Stone or the Z Crystal, these items that can unleash the special powers of Pokémon are strictly controlled in Donghuang, and most people don't dare to trade them casually.
"If it's not these stones, then what kind of stones are they looking for?"
Su Yuan frowned and thought in his heart.
I just heard that uncle say.
"I heard that they are looking for a stone that has a special effect like those super evolution stones."
"A stone with special powers."
Su Yuan's heart trembled.
