I am the only one who practices magic: I practice magic in the city

Chapter 487: Wild Kabi Monster Appears! (First update at 5015, second update around 0:)

The sun was shining brightly in Los Santos in early October, and the temperature was still over 30 degrees near noon. The mist rising from the ground distorted the light, and the sunlight was so fierce that it seemed to be "concentrated" by a huge convex lens and then hit the ground.

"I told you to come out early. Today is Monday, and the public parking building probably only has parking spaces on the rooftop. Why don't you go to the rooftop?"

A Toyota Land Cruiser that looked a bit old went up and down twice in UCLA's Visitor Parking Building No. 8, but failed to find a parking space, so it slowly drove away from the gate.

In the passenger seat of the Land Cruiser, a white young man with a hairstyle similar to Ron from Harry Potter was complaining while playing games on his mobile phone.

"The sun is too strong today. It will be too hot to park on the rooftop to get the car. Myne, can you help me see if there is a parking space on the right? My view is blocked and I can't see."

In the driver's seat, a young girl wearing a white denim miniskirt and a light blue low-cut knitted vest looked at the roadside parking space on her side with a worried expression, gathered her long hair by her ears, and asked her boyfriend next to her.

The knitted vest was not designed to be tight-fitting, but she wore it to look like a tight-fitting top, with the lower edge faintly visible. It was clearly just a normal top, but when a girl wore it, she looked like Fu Liji.

Judging from her face, this girl is no more than twenty years old, and must be younger than that.

But looking at her figure, she looks like a July peach - you can tell how ripe she is just by looking at her without even biting it.

Myne, who had a Ron hairstyle, stared at the screen of his mobile phone and responded casually: "I saw it, there is no parking space. Anyway, you are just going to update your bear card, so just park on the side of the road. I will wait for you in the car with the air conditioner on."

"Ah! Sid, turn around! There's a steel-armored rhino behind us! We're so lucky, it's only a dozen meters away."

Myne excitedly patted Sid's thigh, his eyes still fixed on the Pocket Monsters Go map on his phone.

Less than three months after the game was released, it became popular throughout North Macedonia and successfully gave Nintendo a new lease of life. Every day on the street you could see people holding up their phones to catch the balls.

The young girl named Sid bit her lip in dissatisfaction but said nothing. She turned the steering wheel skillfully, drove forward a few meters, and her eyes lit up.

Isn't this just a parking space? And it's so wide!

"Don't stop, it's right in front...Okay, we can catch it...Hey, hey, don't move...Beautiful! I caught it!"

Sid parked the car with a helpless look on his face and picked up his backpack from the back seat: "Myne, I'm going to update my ID first, so you wait in the car."

Myne was busy sharing the joy of catching the armored rhino with his friends. When he heard his girlfriend's voice, he looked up with an impatient look and responded, but his eyes happened to fall on Sid's looming lower edge.

Sid took a tissue and stuffed it in to wet it. The weather was too hot, and even with the air conditioning in the car, it was easy to sweat.

Gulu.

Mayne suddenly became interested, swallowed his saliva, and was about to ask his girlfriend to wait, but Sid had already opened the car door and jumped out.

Forget it, let’s talk about it when I get home and finish my daily tasks first.

Myne's attention quickly shifted back to the game.

After completing a round of daily tasks and cultivating the monsters in my pocket that I collected, an hour has passed.

Why hasn't Sid come back yet?

Mayne stretched and was about to call Sid when a notification suddenly popped up on his phone.

"A wild Kabi has appeared!"

Wild Kabi!?

Mayne took a deep breath and quickly entered the game. When he saw the icon on the map, he couldn't help but blush with excitement.

Kabi Monster! The most scarce pocket monster in the current version! If you have a Kabi Monster account, you can sell it for at least 100 more yuan!

Right nearby! Wilson Square! Less than an ounce!!

Mayne rubbed his hands nervously and looked out the window.

Why hasn't Sid come back yet?

Forget it, never mind, let’s go catch the Kabi monster first. If it’s too late, we might not even be able to grab a spot.

In a hurry, Mayne turned off Sid's old Land Cruiser, pulled out the car keys, stared at the AR map intently, and ran towards the direction of the monster icon with a big grin and a red face.

As for whether Sid will be angry, who cares? I am from Jude, my mother is a legal officer at Paramount, and my father is a distribution manager at Universal Music. A country girl like Sid is dating me only because she wants my resources. I am not short of women.

What I'm missing is the Kabi monster!
Kabi, here I come!
UCLA Kerkhoff Hall, Bear Card Management Center.

"It will take 10 working days. Do I need to mail the bear card after it is made? I will pay for the courier fee myself."

Sid bit his lip and said, "No, can I make an appointment to pick up the card?"

"We don't accept appointments. You can come back 10 working days later to check if the work is done. It costs 25 dollars."

A middle-aged woman with curly hair lazily took the application form handed over by Sid, without even looking at it, and stamped it twice.

Bear Card is the name of UCLA's student card. It costs 25 dollars to replace it if it is damaged or lost. The only good thing is that the replacement process is faster than other procedures in the United States and can be completed in just two weeks.

After Sid took out a credit card and swiped it, he walked out of the Bear Card Management Center in a slightly depressed mood. Many men nearby couldn't help but pay their respects to Sid when they saw him trembling and jumping for joy.

Sid was already used to such looks, and he walked through the lobby of Kerkhof Hall with the bear in his bag without changing his expression.

She is actually not a student at UCLA. She came to LA six or seven years ago and wanted to be a child star. She played minor roles in some bad movies and didn't have a chance to make a name for herself, so she went back to school. Two years ago, because of other things, she came to Los Santos again, hoping to make her way in Hollywood.

She originally thought that she had a few friends from her hometown in Hollywood, and with her figure and looks, she would be able to start from small roles here and work her way to the pinnacle of life step by step.

But what I didn't expect was that after a year here, I had no job opportunities except working as a receptionist at Universal Studios for a few months.

A small town girl like her, with a typical "blonde-haired, fat" image, obviously does not meet the "diversified" role requirements of Hollywood in recent years.

To make matters worse, Hollywood has been shut down for quite some time in the past six months, and news of the cancellation or postponement of various projects can be heard every day.

Those stars who have already made money are fine, at least they don’t have to worry about their livelihood, but it is too difficult for small roles like her to continue struggling in Hollywood.

So, confused, two months ago, Sid signed up for two business courses at UCLA's School of Continuing Education.

Mayen is her boyfriend whom she met at a party a month ago. He is studying music industry at UCLA and has started his junior year. He is a formal student of UCLA.

Sid is not dating Myne just for his family's connections.

Mainly because of confusion.

What will the future hold? Should we give up?
After completing the card replacement procedure, Sid looked at the strong sunlight in the sky and suddenly wanted to drink something cold.

There is a Carl's Jr. (selling hamburgers and milkshakes) at the back door of Kerkhof Hall. As Sid walked out of the hamburger shop with two freshly made milkshakes, he saw an extremely conspicuous classic car parked not far away.

Cadillac V16!

Sid recognized the old car at a glance, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he immediately went over.

She is a small town girl who grew up on a western farm and whose biggest hobby is classic cars.

When she was 14, she started driving a Ford pickup truck that had been in service on her family farm for more than 16 years. At the age of , like many high school students, she drove to and from school by herself in a Volvo that was seven or eight years older than her.

The Volvo her grandfather gave her had a broken oil pan and leaked oil badly. Every time it was parked in the school parking lot, a puddle of oil would leak out in the parking space.

Because her classmates maliciously mocked her for "leaking oil" in the parking lot, she had to fix the car herself. She solved the oil leakage problem with a piece of iron sheet and cardboard, which also made her very interested in classic cars.

Today, she is considered a hardcore enthusiast of classic cars.

Sid carefully examined every detail of this V16.

Is it really V16? Refurbished or re-engraved?

Huh? Is it really the chassis of the V16? The dashboard and headlights don’t look like replicas either…

Could this be the original V16?

How is that possible? It's already 80 years old, it must have been refurbished. I don't know which master refurbished it, but the craftsmanship is so good that there is no sign of refurbishment at all. If it is auctioned, it will be sold for at least one million yuan.

As Cadillac's former top luxury model, the V16 is not as valuable in the second-hand market as the Duesenberg, which has only a few units left and is worth tens of millions of dollars, but it is the most coveted car for classic car fans in the United States.

Because it is the world's first car with a V16 engine, a symbol of McLaren technology, and a representative of McLaren's dream.

Even if there is only an original chassis left, and the rest are cheap parts, or even a completely scrapped car that can't start, it can easily be sold at a high price of more than 100,000 yuan in the auction market!
Sid quickly took out his mobile phone and took a lot of photos of this legendary V16.

Do you want to find someone to help you take a few photos with this car?

Huh? It seems that Mayne just passed by?

From the corner of her eye, Sid seemed to see her boyfriend running hurriedly past the entrance of the UCLA shopping mall with his cell phone in hand. Before she could call him, he disappeared around the corner in the blink of an eye.

Huh? Why are there so many people running over there? What's going on?
Forget it, Sid sighed in disappointment, turned his head and saw a tall and strong Asian man walking towards the planetarium across the street.

"Hey! Handsome guy over there, can you take some pictures of me and this V16?"

Sid smiled brightly and waved at the Ya-Yi.

Yayi was stunned, then smiled with eight teeth in the sunlight and took her phone: "Okay."

Seeing this smile, Sid couldn't help but blush and squeezed his legs together inconspicuously.
-
Hoo! Hoo! Why are there so many people here! ?
It was a hot day with a temperature of over 30 degrees. Mayne was sweating profusely and panting as he rushed towards Wilson Square. Before he reached the location where the blue fat man appeared, he saw a large group of people around him, all holding their phones and rushing towards Wilson Square from all directions, shouting, "Kabbi! Kabbi!"

Shit! I knew it, how could a rare pocket monster like Kabiki not be watched by anyone! ?
Mayne was very anxious and quickened his pace.

He knew that once a super rare wild pocket monster like the Kabi monster was spawned, it would only survive on the map for less than half an hour.

Although theoretically everyone has a chance, it has taken me more than ten minutes to run over here, and the escape rate of the Kabi monster is very high. What if I am unlucky and get up early but arrive late, and I don’t catch it when the map refreshes, then I will be crying, right?
Not to mention that there are buildings all around this location. Once the GPS drifts, you may not be able to click on the model of the Kabi monster.

He quickly took out his cell phone and locked onto the fat blue figure on the map while running, fearing that he would be eliminated by the system by the time he got to the position.

Whoosh whoosh, caught up.

Mayne held the phone breathlessly. Although AR was not turned on, he still ritually aimed it forward and clicked on the Kabi model on the map to enter the capture interface.

Dozens of young students who came to catch the Kabi monster were all holding their cell phones, like some kind of strange ritual.

Dozens of people were chattering around the position of the Cabbage Monster. Some had already opened their Poké Balls, while others were still changing for raspberries.

"Damn! The super ball was also knocked away!" Mayne was so anxious that he was sweating. He quickly threw another ball. His hands were stiff with nervousness, and he didn't even get a Great judgment.

It is impossible to capture pocket monsters indefinitely within the refresh time. After throwing 3 balls, the monster's escape probability will increase sharply. Once it escapes, the Kabi monster will disappear completely.

"Caught! Kabi!" A cheer came from the crowd.

Has someone caught it? Myne's hand trembled, and the ball on the screen was thrown out.

“Oops!” Mayne was about to curse himself for his clumsy hands, but then something flashed on his phone—the word “Excellent” appeared.

Myne's phone vibrated a few times, and a circle of white light appeared in the center of the screen, spreading out from the center of the Poké Ball. The Poké Ball on the screen locked with a "click", and a golden circle of light appeared on the ground.

The Kabi monster didn’t jump out again!
Myne's face flushed, his breathing became rapid, and his heart was beating like a drum.

Succeeded?
"You caught the Cubby!"

A notification of successful capture popped up on the screen.

Yay! It worked!
Finally caught!
“Hahahahaha~” Mayne laughed heartily, looking at the reward settlement interface happily, then stood there and took a screenshot and shared it on Twitter, FB, Instagram, and Tumblr…

"How do you catch a Chibi? It's simple, take out your Ultra Ball, and then - throw it. [Sunglasses]"

The thirty-minute refresh time passed in a flash. Among the dozens of players in the square, only a few caught the Kabi monster. Those who caught it were overjoyed, while those who didn't were beating their chests and stamping their feet.

Dozens of players did not disperse, and began to add each other as friends and share albums.

Myne, feeling very happy, talked excitedly with several girls about his gaming experience. He almost forgot the time and even forgot about his girlfriend. When he remembered, he glanced at his phone and fuck!
It’s been an hour!

I forgot, Sid must have completed the card replacement procedure.

Feeling guilty, Mayne picked up his phone and called Sid.

Why didn’t you answer?

Forget it, let’s go back to the parking lot first.

Anyway, she didn't call me, so she probably went shopping again.

Mayne was looking at the Kabiki on his phone with an infatuated look on his face, muttering "my baby" to himself as he walked across Wilson Square and the Student Activity Center towards Parking Lot 8.

Huh? Why is there an antique car parked here?
This vintage car looks quite beautiful, with a swooping winged angel on the front. Could it be a Rolls-Royce?

Remember Sid seems to like classic cars? Ask her when you see her later.

Mayne pulled out his cell phone, approached the vintage car and took a picture.

Huh? Why is the car shaking so much? Is there someone moving around inside?

Mayne approached the V16 with an obscene smile, but found that the windows were completely dark and he could not see anything inside.

Tsk!
Forget it, take care of him.

I caught the Chibi Monster!
Mayne licked his teeth, whistled, and walked towards the parking lot at a brisk pace.

When he reached the ground parking space at the entrance of the parking lot, before he even opened the car door, Mayne's face turned pale.

All four doors were open, the glove box and the armrest box were opened, and the interior of the car was in a mess.

Shit! I was so anxious to catch the kabby monster that I forgot to lock the car!
This is no ordinary Chibi! This is a Gigantamax Shiny Chibi!
While Maine was nervously trying to capture the Chibi Monster, Sid was also caught in a tough battle with the Chibi Monster.

Sid had never expected that his Lantern Monster, which had evolved to its limit, would be so vulnerable to the Super Gigantamax Shining Chibi Monster! Both Lanterns were deformed! He could only rely on the Splashing Turtle, which had not yet evolved, to barely cope with it.

"Wait... that's my boyfriend."

Sid, who was struggling to hold on under the attack of the Cubby Monster, suddenly saw through the car window that Maine, who was holding a cell phone and grinning, was walking towards him from the direction of Wilson Square.

Fang Yu just waved his hand, and all the car windows darkened.

Automatic privacy glass?

Is this car modified so much? It just looked like ordinary laminated glass and tempered glass.

And don’t all automatic privacy glasses turn white?

Sid didn't have time to think about it, the pressure brought by the Gigantamax Shiny Chibi to her Squirtle was too great!
However, Aquamarine's moves are completely useless against the Gigantamaxed Kabi. No matter it's the physical move with an attack power of 50 - Spin, or the special move with an attack power of 60 - Water Wave, they have no effect on the opponent!

Even if Aquamarine tried to hurt both sides by using its ultimate move - Wave Charge, which had an attack power of 120 but would also cause it to suffer considerable damage, the opponent's Kabi Monster remained motionless.

He just used a basic move to hit, and he watched helplessly as Myne peeked outside while Kabiki knocked his Aquatica off the field.

In the end, Sid could only use the pocket monster he had barely trained - Kou Daikusa - to fight with his opponent.

Fang Yu picked up a torn receipt that had fallen on the seat. With a slight movement of his finger, the receipt automatically returned to its original state. It was a receipt for replacing a Bruin Card with a name written in the applicant column.

"Sydney Sweeney? You were born in Sydney?"

"You can't lose this thing. Those bastards at the Bear Card Center love to make things difficult for you. If you lose it, they will just ask you to reapply."

Fang Yu touched Sid's hair, took a look at the receipt, and stuffed it back into Sid's bag.
