Chapter 8 The Deal with Bai Miaomiao
[Bai Miaomiao: Where did you get this thing from?]
The next moment, Lin Wu saw the message from Bai Miaomiao. He immediately picked up his phone and typed.
[Lin Wu: In the sewers]
[Bai Miaomiao:? 】
[Bai Miaomiao: Are you trying to make fun of me?]
Bai Miaomiao almost laughed in anger when she saw Lin Wu's words.
Come on, tell me, how did you manage to find the Ghost Orb in the sewer?
If you can actually climb out of the sewer, I'll change my surname to yours!
As someone who needs this thing, Bai Miaomiao knows better than anyone how inconspicuous it usually is, and how hard it is to find when you need it.
The output is far too low.
Almost only Ghost-type Pokémon with discovered abilities can be produced in small quantities. The problem is, these Pokémon are extremely rare.
Ghost-type Pokémon are inherently secretive, and those with the Dig ability often hide in dark, secluded corners.
For example, ghost rats are practically invisible except around the time a rat swarm begins. Even after the swarm starts, they are extremely difficult to find.
In particular, the start time and location of the rat swarm were uncertain, and the number of ghost rats was completely unknown. Lin Wu was able to find so many ghost rats by searching through boxes and cabinets because he knew in advance that the rat swarm would break out in the sewers and at what time it would break out, and his reaction was even faster than that of the officials.
On the other hand, he gleaned many clues from the description of the rat swarm in the announcement.
Even so, he spent half a day searching. For others, finding the Ghost Orb was a thankless and arduous task!
Because this thing is produced in small quantities and in low demand, only a very small number of elves need it, resulting in a low price.
As a result, no one wanted to make money from this, so there were even fewer Ghost Orbs on the market.
As for those who actually need the Ghost Orb? Who cares? There aren't many of them anyway, and it's not like there's much money to be made.
Unfortunately, as the one who truly needed the Ghost Orb, Bai Miaomiao was having nightmares almost constantly searching for it.
The new Pokémon she recently trained requires a large number of Ghost Orbs to learn a new skill.
That's why she acted so strangely when she heard Lin Wu say that she had found the Ghost Orb in the sewers.
I've been searching day and night, and now you're telling me it's in the sewer? Are you trying to make fun of me?
But after a moment of mixed feelings, Bai Miaomiao immediately started typing.
[Bai Miaomiao: Never mind, is it for sale? How much? I'll take it]
[Lin Wu: Hold on a minute. This is a small business; we don't sell individual items, we sell them in bundles. How about you buy all those Glimmering Stones and Shady Grass over there?]
Damn, what a swindler!
Upon seeing this sentence, Bai Miaomiao was stunned. She couldn't understand how this guy, who was only eighteen years old, could have fallen to such a shrewd and unscrupulous level.
But after thinking for a long time, I still endured the toothache and typed out the word "good".
Never mind, let's give in to her. After all, my aunt still cares about her.
Thinking of this, Bai Miaomiao sighed.
At the same time, I sincerely admire how lucky this unscrupulous merchant is.
How did that mutated hallucinogenic insect end up in his hands? He's really lucky.
After Lin Wu left that day, Bai Miaomiao carefully investigated and finally confirmed that he had taken the mutated hallucinogenic insect with him.
At that moment, Bai Miaomiao felt like the sky had fallen...
Fortunately, Aunt Bai and Professor Bai didn't hold her accountable. After she finished her trembling report, she simply replied with an indifferent "oh."
Then tell Bai Miaomiao that she doesn't need to worry about this anymore. If he contacts her, just give him a heads-up. She'll come to Ningcheng herself to see him in a while.
All I can say is that Bai Miaomiao felt a bit more sympathy for Lin Wu, who was being targeted by her aunt.
Let the child have his way, or he might not have a good time later.
[Bai Miaomiao: Okay, how much do you want?]
Upon seeing this message, Lin Wu's eyes lit up, realizing that the other party was indeed a wealthy woman.
[Lin Wu: Sigh, you're being too simplistic. When have we Beast Tamers ever been in it for the money? It's always for the healthy growth of our own spirits and for our own aspirations...]
Bai Miaomiao: Speak Human Language
[Lin Wu: How about a rich woman sponsoring a skill stone?]
[Lin Wu: I've already selected the orders, here, this one.]
In an instant, the true intentions were revealed. Bai Miaomiao looked at the order Lin Wu had sent; it was an entry-level poison powder skill stone, of the normal type, priced at... eleven thousand.
Holy crap, what a swindler! He just sits there and doubles the price!
For a moment, Bai Miaomiao gritted her teeth, but thinking of her own Pokémon training, she still typed through gritted teeth:
[Bai Miaomiao: Okay! Submit!]
[Bai Miaomiao: No more additions! Send me your address, the courier will bring all your junk over tomorrow!]
[Lin Wu: Thank you, boss! I hope you're in good health. I'll definitely come back to you next time I need a Ghost Orb!]
Lin Wu chatted merrily for a few minutes, sent a mailing address, and then turned off his phone.
Lin Wu was overjoyed to have obtained the skill stone and the profit he made from it.
Because this is the fourth skill he chose for the psychedelic insect, to compensate for its offensive capabilities!
So, he happily picked up the hallucinogenic insect and rubbed it vigorously twice.
"Your skill set will be complete soon, how about that, are you happy?"
Lin Wu said lightly, and the hallucinogenic insect tilted its head and made a "ee" sound.
Sushi had suddenly started singing and dancing happily, but Chongchong didn't know what he was so happy about; Chongchong just felt that he had gone a little crazy.
Lin Wu simply shook his head and sighed softly.
"I hope you'll come to enjoy the feeling of growing up."
He said sincerely, "Because I promised you that I would make you a powerful elf."
"For these two reasons, I will do everything in my power to find all the resources I can to make you stronger."
This was an agreement he made during the contract process, and although the hallucinogenic insects didn't respond, he always remembered it.
Feeling happy about making money, Lin Wu finished spouting these idle ramblings before feeling a wave of dizziness.
He sat up, patted the psychedelic insect's body, and said with a smile:
"Although you may not understand it yet, this is just the beginning. We will become stronger and stronger."
Even if you're a little lazy, let's cheer each other on.
"babble?"
The hallucinogenic insect tilted its head, then curled up.
The beast tamer is spouting incomprehensible nonsense again; the little bug wants to sleep. But since you've said that, fine, do as you please.
She nuzzled Lin Wu's trouser leg affectionately, and after a busy day, she finally fell into a deep sleep.
........................
Lin Wu and the hallucinogenic insect quickly fell asleep, lying sprawled out on the bed in the small room.
The next morning, sunlight streamed into the room, and Lin Wu woke up naturally, stretching.
Great, I slept for over six hours and feel refreshed. Now it's time to get to work.
As he was thinking, he looked down and saw the psychedelic insects still sleeping. He was speechless for a moment, then sighed after a brief silence.
Never mind, an hour or two won't make a difference. Let Chongchong sleep a little longer; she must have been really tired last night.
He covered the psychedelic insects with the blanket again, then got up to go wash up, thinking about his plans for the day.
Today is Sunday, and Lin Wu plans to continue searching the sewers. Judging from Bai Miaomiao's words yesterday, she must have used a lot of the Ghost Orb; it would be great if she could find two more.
Once the package Bai Miaomiao mentioned arrived, she prepared to set off to continue exploring the sewers...
Just as Lin Wu was envisioning earning thousands more that day, a phone notification interrupted his reverie. He took out his phone and then fell silent.
[Notice: Students of Ningcheng No.1 Middle School will return to school early this Sunday, March 12th at 3 PM. Please spread the word.]
Lin Wu: ...
Pinch the horse.
