The demon monk in the second dimension

But few people know that Yuhong Game City is actually controlled by the Rockets and is one of the Rockets' important sources of funding.

The gaming industry has much more abundant cash flow than many other industries, and with a little manipulation, a lot of gray income can be concealed, making it a base that Giovanni values ​​highly.

This is overseen by Dr. Junichi, a master trainer and senior researcher.

Dr. Jun-ichi possesses a Champion-level Pokémon, as well as near-Champion-level Electivire, Magneton, Golem, and other Pokémon. He is a researcher specializing in Electromagnetic-type Pokémon.

There are also quite a few players in Yuhong City.

You asked Xia Zhi how she knew they were players?

Because these people have strange white names on their heads like "Wabibabu," "Sargasurus no Yome," and "Tauros Must Die"!

When Xia Zhi, disguised and wearing a human skin mask, appeared in Yu Hong City, she looked at the few white characters in the crowd and revealed a hint of nostalgia.

"Indeed, this world might be a game, or a game-like world!"

He watched as these players ran from shop to shop, talking to the shopkeepers in hopes of triggering a quest. His clever mind immediately began to work.

"So am I considered a player or an NPC? Maybe I can try to find out, and at the same time let these players find out for me."

Thinking of this, Xia Zhi walked to a street not far from Yuhong Game City, pacing back and forth while turning her head to look at Yuhong Game City several times, showing a clear look of being troubled.

……

"Waibi Babu" was among the first players to enter the game.

Although he didn't have much money and could only afford a game account that cost at least 299, so what if he was a bug catcher?

Every young insect hunter has the heart of a master!

Besides, isn't the fire moth an insect too?

He's a quasi-god!

But when he actually became a bug-catching boy, he discovered how miserable it was!

Not only did he only have 500 initial coins, but the Pokémon he obtained was also an extremely ordinary Caterpie.

Can you believe that he saw a Poké Ball in the store that cost 150 yuan?

Can you believe that a 350ml case of MooMoo fresh milk costs 500 yuan?

My initial funds were gone after buying a carton of milk!

He even felt that after becoming a Pokémon Master, he could write a novel—"The Path to Pokémon Master Begins with Part-Time Work."

"This hell is starting to be greedy for money again!"

While cursing the game developers, Waibibabu was hoping to find a high-paying, low-stress job in a store that was also related to elves.

You can't just work in real life to buy a premium account!

Working in the game and grinding like crazy, it's so satisfying!

Just then, Waibibab saw Xia Zhi, who had been lingering at the entrance of the game city.

Clearly, this person has a mission!

His eyes lit up, and he ran over eagerly, putting on a helpful expression as he spoke to Xia Zhi.

"Handsome, I've seen you standing here for a long time. Do you need any help?"

Xia Zhi hesitated for a moment and then didn't say anything.

This is promising!

Waibibabu quickly continued.

"Hey handsome, what's bothering you? Tell me, maybe I can help?"

"It's not a difficult thing."

Xia Zhi looked at Yu Hong Game City and said slowly.

"I'm from Tokiwa City. I've never been to an arcade before, and I'd like to find someone familiar with the place to show me around. Are you a local? Do you often go to arcades?"

Upon hearing Xia Zhi's words, Waibibabu immediately received a task.

A stranger gives you a task: Take him to play in Yuhong Game City.

Friendly reminder: The identity of strangers is mysterious; helping them might bring you a generous reward.

As expected, we've gone on a mission!

Waibibabu's mouth was practically crooked with a grin, and he quickly said to Xia Zhi.

"You've come to the right person! I know Yuhong Game City very well! You can't go wrong with me!"

Although I didn't have any money in my pocket, Yuhong Game City didn't refuse me entry just because I didn't have any.

Waibibabu has been wandering around here for the past two days, hoping to trigger a quest or find a job here.

He knew perfectly well that Yuhong Game City was Team Rocket's territory!

If he performs well, he might even be able to join the Rockets!

For players, there is never any distinction between heroes and villains.

As long as you give me enough rewards, I'm happy to do some crazy, back-and-forth maneuvers—that's perfectly normal!

Seeing Waibibabu's happy expression, Xia Zhi guessed that he must have received a mission.

So I should be an NPC?

"Thank you very much."

Xia Zhi smiled at Wai Bi Ba Bu and walked into Yu Hong Game City with him.

As soon as Xia Zhi entered, she saw the prize redemption area at the entrance of the game center.

Setting up the prize redemption point here will attract many passersby to come in and play, as they will see people redeeming prizes here.

Xia Zhi glanced around casually and then surprisingly found that there were items such as full recovery potions, full recovery potions, magic candies, and experience candies at the prize redemption area.

These items didn't exist in this world before!

Full recovery potions and full-power potions are fine, but what really excites Xia Zhi are the magical candies and experience candies.

The higher the level of the elves, the more difficult it becomes to level up.

In the past few months, Gengar has only leveled up once, which is nothing like the exhilarating feeling of devouring Pokémon before.

Immediately, Xia Zhi changed her mindset.

"Let's not deal with Team Rocket here yet. Let me exchange my Rare Candies first!"

The real Yuhong Game City certainly doesn't only have lottery machines to play; it has many other games.

Shooting, puzzle, and sports games are all available.

The grand prize at the game's redemption area is a 3D dragon, an artificial sprite that can only be obtained through redemption at the game city.

However, there are also rarer Pokémon such as Clefairy, Scyther, and Eevee.

Once you complete the games in the game city and obtain enough prize tickets, you can redeem them.

You need to complete all the games in the arcade to get enough tickets to redeem the 3D Dragon.

The Summer Solstice only needs three Magic Candy Shop redemption points, and redeeming all of them would only require one-third the number of tickets needed for 3D Dragon.

Xia Zhi entered the game city with Wai Bi Ba Bu, and immediately began to sweep up the nearby games after exchanging 1,000 yuan for game coins.

With his physical abilities comparable to those of a Champion-level Pokémon, he can easily complete sports and shooting games.

Waibi Babu, standing nearby, watched Xia Zhi complete game after game at an astonishing speed.

"Wow! This guy is definitely a big shot! I have to stick close to him!"

Seeing Waibibabu's appearance, Xia Zhi gave him some game coins and let him play by himself.

As time went by, more and more people in the game city noticed the summer solstice.

They gathered behind Xia Zhi, watching him complete one game after another, and became excited.

Does anyone know him?

"Could it be that they're aiming for the grand prize?"

Seeing the bustling scene, the staff inside the arcade all laughed.

This isn't the first time Yu Hong Game City has encountered skilled players. Although they can complete many games, they always encounter games they're not good at and can't complete them all.

Besides, if you really encounter such a gaming expert, giving away a 3D dragon is no big deal.

They can also use this as a publicity stunt.

Compared to the increased revenue, what does a Pokémon, which is rare but not impossible to create, really matter?

Chapter 458 Surprise Attack and Upgrade

After spending most of the day collecting enough tickets to redeem the magical candy, Xia Zhi arrived at the prize redemption counter.

"Hello, I want to claim my prize."

The lady at the prize redemption counter opened the prize redemption list with a big smile on her face.

"Okay, what would you like to redeem?"

Xia Zhi looked at the items on the list, scanning them one by one, and the smile on her face slowly disappeared.

what happened?

The magical candies, full recovery potions, and full-restor potions he had just seen disappeared when he actually tried to redeem them.

"Unable to redeem?"

Xia Zhi returned to the game center with a bunch of lottery tickets. After thinking for a moment, she found Wai Bi Ba Bu, who was happily playing a game.

"Can you help me exchange some items?"

It was just a simple errand-running task, and Waibibabu happily accepted it.

"No problem! What would you like to exchange for, sir?"

Xia Zhi told Wai Bi Ba Bu what she wanted to exchange.

Soon, Waibi Babu ran over excitedly and handed Xia Zhi a magic candy, a bottle of full-boosting medicine, and some extra prize tickets.

"Here you go, boss!"

"Thank you so much!"

Xia Zhi accepted the two items with a smile and looked down at them.

[Rare Candy: Raises one Pokémon's level by 1.]

[Full HP Recovery: A spray-type healing item that restores all HP to one Pokémon.]

"It seems we still have to rely on the players for this! Then I can collect more Magic Candies from them in the future. Right now, their Pokémon are all at low levels, so using this kind of item isn't cost-effective. As long as they're willing to pay a high price, there's no reason why they wouldn't want to exchange for it."

Xia Zhi smiled, gave Wai Bi Babu some more game coins, and continued to roam the game city.

When the game city closed, Xia Zhi and Wai Bi Ba Bu agreed to meet there again the next day.

Waibibabu was overjoyed: This means I've connected with the big boss!

The next day, word spread that a skilled player had come to the arcade and gone on a shopping spree, attracting even more people to the arcade.

Because of the Yuhong Game City, many Yuhong City residents have played a lot of games, and a large number of game enthusiasts come from all over Kanto.

Some wanted to see how many games Xia Zhi could complete, while others wanted to compete with him.

Among them were well-informed players born in Yuhong City, who also rushed over, hoping to trigger some kind of quest.

The employees at the arcade were very happy to see such a large number of customers.

Xia Zhi ignored these people and continued to progress through the game at her own pace.

Over three consecutive days, Xia Zhi completed half of the games in the game city.

He also had Waibibab exchange all three magical candies, as well as some experience candies, full recovery potions, and full recovery potions.

Finally, Xia Zhi handed over the remaining game coins and 10,000 yuan in cash to Waibi Babu and thanked him.

"Thank you for your help. I've had a lot of fun these past few days. Here are some game coins for you."
