Age of Elves: I started flashing with my handheld.

"This is Qian Tanliang, the president of the Qiantang Trainers Association, and also a witness to our transaction," Lin Jian introduced to Nanfeng.

"Hello~" Qian Tanliang greeted Nanfeng.

"Nanfeng," Nanfeng introduced himself, then sat down opposite Lin Jian. A Delibird and a Togepi sat in a row beside him, and to keep them quiet, Nanfeng gave them a few Pokémon Cubes.

"You can take a look at the contract first. Once you've confirmed that everything is correct, we can begin the transaction," Lin Jian gestured to Nanfeng.

Nanfeng picked up the contract and glanced at it. The contents were the same as the last one, but the last one was a preliminary version, while this one was the official transaction contract. In addition to the previously agreed-upon clause that "Lin Jian will open up channels for Nanfeng to purchase treasure-level spirits," an additional clause was added: Lin Jian would pay Nanfeng a reward of ten million.

"This ten million..."

"It's what we should give," Lin Jian said casually.

He had seriously considered the value of Nanfeng and was optimistic about its future, even though it was only a short half-hour conversation back then.

This ten million was his way of currying favor with Nanfeng.

After all, the channels for purchasing Treasure-level Pokémon are not a "bargaining chip" for him at all.

Since someone was offering money, Nanfeng had no reason to refuse.

Both of them signed their names on the contract, and the contract was established.

Nanfeng placed his backpack on the table. Inside were a hundred Poké Balls, each containing a hundred Nosepasses. He had taken them from his handheld console early that morning.

Lin Jian picked up the Poké Balls one by one to examine them, releasing them occasionally to observe them.

"Where did you catch these north-facing snouts?" Qian Tanliang asked.

"The Hengya Mountains west of Qiantang," Nanfen casually replied. Normally, no one would find it strange if he occasionally had an extra Pokémon. However, a hundred Nose-Facing Pokémon attacking simultaneously might attract attention.

Therefore, for three out of those seven days, the south wind blew towards Tang Zhihui, who asked for leave from school on the grounds that Lin Jian's research team had something to do, and went to the nearest Class D danger area near Qiantang, "Hengya Mountain Range".

This was all to cover up the origin of these hundred North-Facing Nose creatures. In reality, after entering the Hengya Mountains, Nanfeng found a secluded corner to play games and capture North-Facing Nose creatures.

There's nothing wrong with him saying that he subdued Chao Bei Bi in the Hengya Mountains.

Ultimately, it comes down to my own lack of ability. If I were capable enough, I wouldn't need to make these excuses.

The current solution is to quickly obtain a breeder's professional qualification certificate, open a ranch, and then you won't have to worry about anything when conducting similar transactions.

Of course, no one will actually check your movements over the past few days, but it's always better to be cautious when you're weak.

"Are there that many north-facing noses in the Hengya Mountains?" Qian Tanliang muttered to himself, but didn't delve into it further.

Lin Jian has already inspected the goods.

"It's a pleasure doing business with you. The final payment will be transferred to your account within 24 hours."

"As for how to purchase treasure-level spirit items," Lin Jian looked at Qian Tanliang, "President Qian, are the items ready?"

“Of course,” Qian Tanliang nodded, pulling a cell phone from behind him and handing it to Nanfeng. “Professor Lin has guarantored your eligibility to purchase a Treasure-level Pokémon. You can check the price of Treasure-level Pokémon items anytime through the app on your phone. After placing your order, the Trainers Association will deliver it to your door. Remember to inspect the goods upon receipt!”

Nanfeng took the phone. It was empty except for an app called "Treasure." This app contained something he couldn't find on a regular phone.

Opening the Treasure app is just like browsing any other shopping app for Nanfeng.

However, everything sold there is priced in units of tens of thousands.

A cursed rune with a 24% bonus costs eight million.

The Mysterious Water Droplet, with a 22% bonus, is priced at four million.

After looking through the list from the south, I roughly understood the price pattern of treasure-level spirit items: for every 1% increase, the price increases by two million.

“1% equals two million? That’s pretty cheap,” Nanfeng muttered.

The maximum bonus each Pokémon can absorb from a Treasure-level Pokémon is 50%, so the investment in a Treasure-level Pokémon item for a single Pokémon is only 100 million.

I currently earn 60 million a month, and actually more.

Eight hundred million a year is a sure thing.

So, in just one year, I can build a main team that can complete the enhancement of single-attribute treasure-level spirit items.

Qian Tanliang, who was standing to the side, twitched his lips when he heard Nanfeng's words. 1% equals two million and it's cheap?

Which wealthy family does this young master come from?

Many trainers might not even have enough money to buy a single rare-grade Pokémon item with a 1% boost in a whole year. Even if they did have the money, they might not buy it—why exchange two million for a meager 1% increase?

It would be better to buy some good food so that the sprites can train harder.

Treasure-level spirit items are something only the wealthy can afford to play with.

52. Finally, a flash!

"Why are dragon-attribute materials so expensive?" Nanfeng continued reading.

It was discovered that the Dragon Fang item costs an additional 5 million for every 1% increase, which is much more expensive than the 2 million for other attributes.

"Because it has the dragon attribute," Lin Jian replied without looking back.

Okay, I like this explanation.

Soon, Nanfeng discovered that not only were Dragon-type Pokémon items expensive, but Psychic and Fairy-type items were also expensive, costing three million for every 1%.

What, are Dragon, Psychic, and Fairy types superior to humans?

However, Nanfeng also understands that compared to other types of Pokémon items, Dragon, Psychic, and Fairy-type items are relatively rare, and their prices are still within an acceptable range.

Nanfeng placed the order directly.

Let's start with a 30% mystery droplet, totaling 20 million.

There is also a limit to the number of treasure-level spirit items, which is 30%.

The Mysterious Water Drop is for Frog; there's no need to buy other Pokémon items for now.

The Makushita Riki from the Stone Cave drops Black Belt, and Casey drops Curved Spoon. Once you get a Treasure-level Pokémon item, you can give it to Merach and Kirlia.

"Thanks, I'll be going now. If you need any more North Face, just call me," Nanfeng said to Lin Jian, and prepared to leave with Delibird and Togepi.

"Remember to come visit the lab."

"Okay," Nanfeng said, and left without looking back.

After the agreement was reached, Nanfeng took some time the next day to copy down Miss Dujuan's research on north-facing noses and give it to Lin Jian.

Lin Jian gained a lot from reading it, thinking that if Nanfeng joined the research on Chaobeibi, it would definitely accelerate the breakthrough of research results.

Unfortunately, Nanfeng had no interest in Chaobeibi, and his understanding of Chaobeibi only came from Miss Dujuan's cultivation notes. He had nothing to tell Lin Jian, so he had never been to Professor Lin Jian's laboratory.

I'm too lazy to go again.

After leaving the Trainers Association, Southwind took Delibird and Togepi to the nearest buffet restaurant.

I bought one adult ticket and two elf tickets. They can take whatever they want to eat.

The buffet in the Pokémon world has some more rules, such as restricting entry to Snorlax and other small Pokémon, and charging extra for Pokémon weighing over 200 pounds.

That's to be expected. If Snorlax were allowed in, the buffet owner would probably go bankrupt that very day.

However, what Nanfeng didn't expect was that after searching for food, Delibird and Togepi returned to him and asked for Pokémon Cubes.

It seems that Pokémon cubes are not nearly as delicious as those special dishes made for Pokémon.

"Is it really that delicious?" Nanfeng was a little skeptical. After giving Delibird and Togepi Pokémon Cubes, he also put a bite in his own mouth.

"So sweet!" Nanfeng felt like she had eaten a piece of gummy candy with a fruity flavor.

Suddenly I understand why my Pokémon hasn't been eating any other nutritious meals since it ate Poké Blocks.

However, Nanfeng still thinks steak is tastier.

The taste of meat.

After lunch, Nanfeng returned to Qiantang University with Messenger Bird and Togepi. Did he keep his promise and find Togepi a job delivering braised chicken rice on the second floor of the cafeteria?

"By the way, where are you staying tonight?" Before parting, Nanfeng suddenly remembered that Messenger Bird and Togepi had just arrived at Qiantang University and had nowhere to stay.

Are we supposed to sleep in the wild like ordinary elves?

Messenger birds might be fine, but Togepi...

“Dei Li…” The messenger bird was also a bit troubled.

"Would you like to stay at my house?" Nanfeng asked.

The messenger bird felt a little embarrassed; it had eaten the food, asked the other party to help it find a job, and now it was going to live in the other party's house...

"I'll take you to get acquainted with the place, so you can come over whenever I order braised chicken rice." Nanfeng didn't give the two of them a chance to refuse, picked up Togepi and headed home.

“Chajiduyi (≧▽≦)ゞ (Let's go!)”

The messenger bird had no choice but to hurry and catch up.

Back in the dormitory, Nanfeng specially picked out an empty room on the second floor for Messenger Bird and Togepi.

"This will be your place to live from now on. You can come here to rest when you're not delivering food," Nanfeng said generously.

The villa was too big. Even after giving Messenger Bird and Pocoby a room, there were still two empty rooms on the second floor.

Of the few Pokémon around him, only Kirlia and Smeargle have their own rooms.

Kirlia is a girl. The dog, on the other hand, needs to paint quietly, mainly because Southwind wants peace and quiet.

The strong chicken likes to sleep on the floor of the south-facing room. The frog, on the other hand, prefers to sleep in the pool in the yard.

Makushita Rikishi is practically glued to the sofa. Occasionally, when Nanfeng gets up in the middle of the night and goes down to the living room, the TV is still on, and Rikishita is already asleep, holding popcorn in one hand and a can of cola in the other, just like a typical couch potato.

"Dei Li! Dei Li! (I will definitely repay you!)" The messenger bird clenched its little fists, looking ready to work hard.

"Chaiji duyi (Me too!)" Togepi imitated Delibird, its cute and earnest appearance making people want to laugh.

Nanfeng gently stroked Togepi and then went back to his room.

I leaned back in the lounge chair on the balcony and took out my handheld game console.

Let's start playing!

Upon opening the game, the protagonist is standing on the first basement level of the Stone Cave.

Wait a minute, the tea hasn't been brewed yet, and the tablet hasn't been picked up.

As Nanfeng was pondering this, Kirlia had already used her telekinesis to control the tablet and teapot, sending them flying to the tea table.

"As expected, you understand me best!" Nanfeng gave Kirlia a thumbs up.

“Liru~” Kirlia slowly bowed, holding her little dance dress.

The tablet was brought over, but the TV series still had to be chosen by oneself. Nanfeng pressed the movement button on the handheld console with one hand and tapped on the tablet with the other, selecting a crosstalk episode.

Listening to this while playing games is the most relaxing thing.

Nanfeng picked up the handheld console, then looked down again; the console was already in the battle mode.

Nanfeng was preparing to have Frog use its swift "Thief" move to both eliminate its opponent and steal its belongings.

"Wait!" Nanfeng's hands froze, as if frozen in place.

The opponent that suddenly appeared on the screen was a shiny CocoDora!

I...I finally...finally got a Flash!

53. Radiant Gold Cocoa Dora

The Coco Dora on the screen is slightly larger than the regular Coco Dora, and its silver-white shell has now turned into pure gold.

It's not the kind of gold you see in real life, but a shimmering gold, or rather, a bright gold, so bright and dazzling it seems to be glowing on its own. (The color scheme of the Boss Dora in the game is awful.)

"Finally got it working! It was worth spending over half a month here!"

Although it took half a month to get a shiny Pokémon, I was still lucky; at least I didn't get any other shiny Pokémon.

Nanfeng took a deep breath; the battle had only just begun.

It's not considered a true flash until you've actually caught it.

(Come on, tell me how many unlucky people have encountered a flash, only to have the flash run away or commit suicide. Well, I'm different. I've never encountered a flash, so it's impossible for me to encounter either of those situations... Suddenly I feel a little sad.)

The level of a regular Poké Ball is too low; it's not worthy of Akodorara. Nanfeng always uses a Commemorative Ball to hold the Pokémon he trains after catching them. This particular Commemorative Ball doesn't exist in this game; in other words, it's a unique design exclusive to Nanfeng!

The first Super Ball was launched but was broken free, so Cocodora used a slam attack.
