Let you make a game, what the hell is Pokemon?.

Chapter 255 An Unexpected Gain: Reunion with the Sky-Piercing Flame!
Following the direction of his senses, he crouched down and brushed aside several ordinary stones on the surface that had no value.

Soon a fist-sized, dark brown crystal was revealed.

Its surface is covered with patterns, and at first glance it looks ordinary, but upon closer inspection you can see that there is a yellowish-brown light flowing deep inside the crystal, containing a peculiar power.

This must be the energy of the ground.

Ling Feng picked up the crystal without making a sound; it felt quite heavy in his hand.

He turned to the stall owner, pointed to the ore in his hand, and his voice sounded somewhat low through the mask.

"How do I change this?"

The old man finally looked over at this moment. He slowly glanced at the crystal in Ling Feng's hand, then looked him up and down, as if assessing how much profit he could get from Ling Feng.

"300,000 credits."

He said slowly and deliberately.

This number is outrageously high; according to Ling Feng's understanding, this is a huge sum of money.

You could buy a decent apartment in the heart of the city with that money.

He simply shook his head.

"Not that many."

Although with so many people standing behind him, it would be easy for Ling Feng to come up with 30 credits, he didn't plan to do so.

The old man let out a sneer, his cloudy eyes filled with contempt and knowingness, as if he had expected this all along.

He waved his hand impatiently, as if shooing away flies.

"If you don't have it, get lost and don't stop me from listening to music."

The air seemed to freeze for a moment.

Ling Feng wasn't angry; he simply calmly reached out and took something out of his system inventory.

It was a brand new, ordinary Poké Ball.

This was something he already had when he transmigrated to this world.

However, compared to the rusty and dilapidated Poké Ball shells on the stall, his was completely brand new.

Upon seeing the Poké Ball, just as Ling Feng had predicted, the old man's eyes widened instantly, and his mouth opened unconsciously.

He looked as if he had been struck by lightning, his heavy breathing echoing in Ling Feng's ears.

Ling Feng could clearly see the state in his eyes—fanatics, excitement, and then joy.

He stared intently at the Poké Ball in Ling Feng's hand, his eyes practically glued to it, as if he were seeing a priceless treasure lost for many years.

The old man's fingers trembled as he tried several times to touch the Poké Ball, but Ling Feng dodged him.

"You seem quite interested in this?"

He asked knowingly.

"show me!"

The old man seemed a little anxious.

He even carefully examined the Poké Ball that Ling Feng handed him—of course, Ling Feng didn't completely let go, repeatedly rubbing the smooth, cool surface with his fingers, pressing the button in the center, and feeling something.

He quickly confirmed that the Poké Ball was not a cheap imitation, but a genuine, high-quality item.

The craftsmanship is so perfect that it is even better than those he had collected himself.

Finally, at the moment Ling Feng pretended to put the Poké Ball away, the old man couldn't hold back any longer.

He practically roared it out:

"Okay, okay, let's go with this one! Here, take that thing!"

"Okay, happy transaction."

Ling Feng smiled and handed over the Poké Ball. To be honest, he didn't quite understand why these guys liked collecting Poké Balls so much, but judging from Old Blindeye's previous performance, he had already guessed this outcome.

Does this count as saving 30?

At the same time, the old man hugged the Poké Ball tightly to his chest, his thin body trembling violently with excitement as he repeatedly stroked the Poké Ball.

He was completely absorbed in his own world, and had even forgotten Ling Feng's existence.

The deal is done.

Ling Feng directly put the crystal containing ground-attribute energy into his system backpack.

He glanced one last time at the messy stall and was about to turn and leave when his gaze inadvertently swept over the old man's broken table piled with miscellaneous items.

One of the table's legs seemed a bit shaky, with a dull, unremarkable stone underneath.

The stone was about the size of a palm, irregularly shaped, and covered with spiderweb-like cracks. It was even covered with dust and oil, looking like an ordinary stone that had been picked up casually to prop up a table leg.

However, the moment Ling Feng's gaze fell upon it, a sudden change occurred!

He suddenly felt a very strange sensation!

He had experienced this feeling before, which was the feeling of the Mythical Resonance skill taking effect!

Why can this thing trigger mythical resonance? Could it be related to legendary Pokémon? This thought flashed through Ling Feng's mind, and he immediately made a judgment.

He suppressed all his thoughts and remained expressionless.

"Boss, since the transaction went so well, may I have this as a gift?"

The old man was completely immersed in the immense joy of obtaining the Perfect Poké Ball, examining it repeatedly with obvious delight. He paid no attention to Ling Feng's words, impatiently waving his hand without even raising his head.
"Take it away! It's just a piece of junk that's in the way; it's taking up space!"

Ling Feng didn't hesitate and picked up the stone, putting it into his backpack.

The entire process proceeded smoothly and without attracting the attention of the elderly man, who was immersed in ecstasy.

The moment the stone slab fragment entered the system inventory—

hum!
The system interface suddenly appeared before Ling Feng's eyes.

An unprecedented notification appeared, this time with its border entirely made of gold—something never seen before.

And every word in the prompt box is flashing at this moment.

[Ding! A fragment containing the 'fundamental laws of combat' has been detected—Mythical-grade item: [Combat Slab] (Fragment) has been acquired!] [Warning: The fragment is currently highly damaged, and its specific effects cannot be explored at this time. Please find a way to repair it to obtain more detailed information.]

The Slate of Arceus?
Ling Feng stared at the pop-up notification and felt completely dumbfounded.

He had just realized this thing was related to legendary Pokémon, but he never expected it to be this high-level item!
So you mean—in a world of this caliber, an old man uses a slab of alpaca stone as a table mat, and you actually encounter him?

What kind of luck is this?

Wait a minute, come to this point, haven't I made a killing this time?

A single Poké Ball not only bought what Blaze needed, but also a fragment of a stone slab.
Although the effect of this fragment of the stone tablet is currently unknown, and it's broken, it's worth noting that the Creator's Stone is undoubtedly one of the top-tier items in the Pokémon world.
He took a few deep breaths to calm himself down a bit.

After all, this thing is of a very high level; even he couldn't remain calm after obtaining it.
He took one last look at the old man who was still clutching the Poké Ball and grinning foolishly, then turned and left the stall.

The old man watched Ling Feng's departing figure disappear behind the curtain, weighed the Poké Ball in his hand, felt completely satisfied, and grinned, revealing his missing tooth.

"You ignorant brat, exchanging such a fine treasure for a worthless rock."

"We've really struck it rich this time!"

The stone slab incident was just a side issue. Since it couldn't be repaired for the time being, and its information could only be viewed after it was repaired, Ling Feng simply put it into his system inventory and stopped worrying about it, turning his attention to his current task.

After preparing the gift for Po Kong Yan, he didn't waste any time and immediately headed to the surface world.

Unlike the previous passage to the surface world, after communicating his intentions to Alicia, Alicia directly dispatched people to send him to another passage leading to the surface. This experience was obviously much more convenient than the previous nerve-wracking feeling—it can only be said that having connections is indeed a good thing.

This time, the exit of the passage was located deep within a vast urban ruin.

After exiting the passage, Ling Feng smelled that scent of the surface world again, which was much fresher than the underground one.

But unlike last time, the weather is gloomy today.

He immediately released the Crystal Lamp Fire Spirit to protect himself, then turned to observe the surrounding city.

After 500 years, the surrounding ruins have almost completely disappeared, leaving only a vague outline and rudimentary form of the city.

There seemed to be nothing here except for a deathly silence.

However, the silence did not last long.

Just as Ling Feng opened the system panel, intending to use the map provided by the module to see how to get to the crater of the Void Flame,

From the shadow of a half-collapsed building on the left, three cold metallic lights suddenly shone, rushing straight towards Ling Feng!

Ling Feng glanced at the newcomer and immediately recognized him. It was the classic combination of Iron Neck, Iron Arms, and Iron Bag.
Without him saying anything, the next moment, a deep blue light burst forth.

The figure of the Crystal Chandelier Spirit appeared in front of Ling Feng.

The next moment, flames erupted.

The flames instantly wrapped around the fastest and closest iron neck—a one-hit kill!

Iron Arm roared forward, following closely behind, but lost its fighting ability the moment it came into contact with the flames.

The iron bundle at the very back reacted quickly; the cold blue light condensed at the muzzle, and the freezing ray was ready to be fired!

However, the Crystal Chandelier Spirit was faster than him.

A slender, ghostly blue flame flashed by, instantly enveloping the iron-clad body.

Its suspended body swayed for a moment before landing directly on the ground.

The battle lasted only a few seconds from start to finish.

The three future Pokémon, each radiating powerful energy fluctuations of mid-level Elite Four members, were utterly insignificant in front of Chandelure.

The difference in strength between a near-Heavenly King and a Heavenly King is that enormous.

"Well done, your control over fire seems to be getting more and more proficient."

Even though he was talking to the Crystal Lamp Spirit after the battle, Ling Feng wasn't really relaxed.

He keenly sensed that from the shadows of the ruins not far away, several pairs of eyes were quietly watching him.

The good news is that this time it wasn't the cold, aggressive gaze of the future, but rather a curious and cautious inquiry.

He turned his head slightly and saw several rugged-looking Pokémon cautiously peeking out from behind the broken wall.

They are similar in size to Dunbari, but larger, with dark brown skin covered by a thick carapace, exposed fangs, and eyes full of vigilance, but not hostility.

This is an ancient species, seemingly in its juvenile form with majestic teeth?
They twitched their noses, as if smelling something in the air.

The powerful aura of the crystal chandelier spirits instilled instinctive awe in them, preventing them from approaching.

But the aura emanating from that human had a strange attraction for them.

The magnificent tusks hesitated for a moment, but ultimately quickly retreated back into the shadows of the ruins.

Seeing this scene, Ling Feng confirmed his previous guess—unlike the future species, the ancient species did not seem to have any proactive aggression towards humans.

This is good news. If the ancient species and the future species are all like before, attacking humans with deadly intent, then there is really no possibility of returning to this world on Earth. It would be better to just let the Genesis Engine blow it up.

With that in mind, he didn't delay any longer and directly opened the map generated by the terrain module. The terrain of the entire surface world quickly appeared before his eyes and soon clearly pointed out the road to the crater where the Sky-Breaking Flame was located.

Looking at the scene before him, Ling Feng couldn't help but rub his forehead. If this map-generating module had been available when he first came to the surface world, how convenient it would have been.
The good news is that with this module, it seems I won't get lost anymore.

Soon, several tens of minutes passed.

During his journey, Ling Feng encountered several more waves of harassment from the future species.

There were lone Iron Warriors, and also groups of Iron Poison Moths.

For some reason, the number of future species this time doesn't seem to be as many as when Ling Feng came to the ground last time. This may be related to the fact that Ling Feng deliberately avoided the route he took last time.

As he continued his journey, Ling Feng noticed a phenomenon: as he approached the volcanic area, the frequency of the futuristic creatures appearing decreased, and eventually, when he got close to the volcano, he could no longer see them at all.

Along the way, I saw more and more ancient species, and they were in the same state as the previous majestic ones, showing no aggression towards me, even though I had theoretically entered their territory.

This was completely different from what Ling Feng had expected, and even somewhat beyond his expectations.

That doesn't make sense. According to the established rules, shouldn't the ancient species be more ferocious than the future species?
As he continued his journey, when he finally climbed a mountain not far from the giant active volcano, the sight before him made him pause in his tracks.

Not far away, a huge crater lies across the land, with red magma churning deep within, emitting a strong sulfurous odor.

At the heart of the churning lava, on a massive black rock, a colossal and majestic figure sat atop it.

It was the same Void-Breaking Flame that I had met once before!
