Pokémon: I picked up a reborn Eevee at the start of the game.

If it's the former, that's incredible. It means that a level four system earns eight points per breath, a level five system earns sixteen points, and a level eleven system earns over a thousand points per breath, which is nearly a million breaths a day!

However, the number of points required to upgrade the system to level eleven is not small. Just upgrading from level one to level three has already cost 1110 million points, and upgrading to level four requires adding another one to the beginning of that number.

However, after opening the system this time, Sai Fuhao was pleasantly surprised to find that the system had automatically upgraded to level four.

As expected, it should be the reward for evolution. And the upgrade from level four to level five is multiplied by ten again, requiring a full billion points, which is a small goal when converted into spirit coins.

This is causing Sai Fuhao some trouble. A billion points—even someone with asthma couldn't exhale that much just by breathing!

Looks like I need to find a way to earn some extra money.

Suo Cailing thought of the items in the system shop. Could buying and selling them be a way to get rich?

For example, the first discounted item I bought, the Magic Edition Forced Training Device, even at a price of two million points before the discount, was only equivalent to the "cost price" of two hundred thousand Elf Coins.

Its actual value is such that it could easily be sold for two million.

Of course, this is all contingent on people believing it.

Just by listing a product without any manufacturer information, on the [Carp King Secondhand Trading Platform] and claiming it has a certain effect, who would believe it?

People might mistake this for a gimmicky product like [Snorlax Maitreya Buddha Statue] or [Rayquaza's medicinal wine].

So we still need to find a normal product that isn't so scary to test the waters.

With that thought in mind, Sai Fuhao opened the system shop.

…………

First up are the discounted items that were just recently refreshed.

Sai Fuhao glanced at it and, wow, it was actually a Pokémon egg!

[A Deino's Pokémon Egg (Second-best Potential)]

Price: 10000000 points (50% off)

This is outrageous! The system shop actually sells Pokémon eggs?

Putting that aside for now, the items are still good quality and inexpensive. Is one million Pokémon Coins expensive for a near-legendary pseudo-god egg?

Even if the price increases by thirty or forty times, there will definitely be people willing to buy!

If you encounter a wealthy person who is in a hurry to buy it, you can add a little more price and they might grit their teeth and buy it.

This is the perfect first item to kick off the entire resale scheme; it's something that exists in the real world and is a bestseller.

So only one question remains: how to gain the buyer's trust?

If it's a breeding base, and the owner is a large and established company with a proven track record of trust, buyers won't have any doubts.

But I'm not even a person, so why should anyone believe that the Pokémon egg contains the Deino with the second-best aptitude you mentioned?

Even with today's rapid scientific advancements, the Phantom Egg remains shrouded in mystery, and no instrument can detect what's inside.

That's why there's the saying "opening blind eggs".

Unlike items that cost hundreds or thousands of dollars and can be traded online, quasi-divine eggs must be sold offline.

It seems we still have to go through Xia Chen as an intermediary.

Moreover, after planning for so long, Sai Fuhao was actually a penniless guy who didn't even have 1000 million starting points, and he had to borrow the starting capital from Xia Chen.

Pulling himself back to reality, Suo Cailing closed the shop system and opened the stat allocation interface instead.

The spiritual information that has been growing during this period came into view.

Name: Sai Fuhao

Race: Sai Fuhao

Gender: no gender

Energy level:

Ability: golden body

Health Stamina: 257 (Click to increase)

Attacks: 174 (...)

Defense: 260 (...)

Special Attack: 394 (…)

Special Defense: 255 (…)

Speed: 243 (...)

…………

Suocailing vaguely remembered that when he first obtained the system, his special attack value was 84, and the last time he checked it before evolving, it was 185.

This is a huge improvement it has made through more than a month of hard training (using cheat codes), and one evolution has more than doubled its special attack value.

Indeed, evolution is the most direct way to become stronger.

The changes in the other abilities weren't as dramatic as those in the Special Attack stat, but they still saw increases of at least 100+, except for Speed.

But it doesn't matter, as long as my [reselling plan] is launched, there will be a steady stream of funds coming in.

With enough points, it used to only dare to increase each ability to ten thousand or one hundred thousand.

In the future, it will dare to increase the price to millions or tens of millions!

Anyway, you can't spend it without adding some points, right?

Oh wait, there's also a raffle.

However, with limited points available for adding points and purchasing items, Sai Fuhao was not planning to waste his points on gambling in the lottery.

Whether you can get good items or not is another matter, and even if you do get good items, they may not be useful to yourself or your friends at this stage, so why bother?

After meticulously calculating everything, the wealthy Sai exited the system with satisfaction.

…………

After collecting the gold coins and evolving his Money-Gathering Spirit, Xia Chen became even busier.

It's not that I need to write a paper on the evolution of the Money-Gathering Spirit; that's not really in a hurry.

Firstly, their own [Cash-Seeking Spirit Cultivation Base Plan] is still far from being realized.

Secondly, to write a thesis, one must disclose every detail of Sai Fuhao's characteristics and traits.

Before he could even dominate the battlefield with the help of Sai Fuhao, how could he possibly reveal all the data on his secret weapon?

Although he didn't need Sai Fuhao, as Sylveon and Gardevoir were enough to dominate the battlefield, Xia Chen wanted the Pokémon he had personally raised to shine in front of the world.

He decided to publish his paper during the World Youth Championships, by which time the Money-Seeking Spirit Breeding Base would have already produced its first batch of Money-Seeking Spirits, and the plan could begin.

So these past few days he hasn't been busy finishing his thesis, but rather helping Sai Fuhao sell things.

Simply put, Sai Fuhao needed money, but didn't want Xia Chen to give it to him directly, so he borrowed ten million yuan from Xia Chen as start-up capital to sell things.

Xia Chen roughly understood that Sai Fuhao's cheat was something similar to a pay-to-win system.

The matter of the elves was his matter, and since Sai Fuhao needed help, Xia Chen was duty-bound to help, so he agreed.

The first batch of goods that Sai Fuhao obtained from the system surprised him.

A near-legendary Pokémon egg with near-top-tier aptitude, top-tier Mystic Water Drops, Unmeltable Ice, and several other rare and valuable Pokémon items.

With a starting capital of ten million, Sai Fuhao directly acquired goods whose value had increased more than tenfold. It seems that the system wasn't from the Tencent ecosystem.

As for Xia Chen himself, he had been in Donghuang for so many years, spent so much money, and fattened up so many people, so he naturally had his own channels to sell.

In the end, they managed to get 150 million back for Sai Fuhao. Sai Fuhao was so happy that he immediately returned 30 million to Xia Chen, including the principal, interest, and commission, and then he made 120 million himself with tears in his eyes.

As Xia Chen expected, Sai Fuhao's strength increased dramatically in the following days, and he was not far from the top tier of the team.

The first tier naturally refers to Xyzsuna and Milotic, so Leedon is T0.

…………

Not only did he help Sai Fuhao, but Xiao Duolong also expressed his desire to evolve in the past few days.

What else could Xia Chen say but to make arrangements?

Although this place is a long way from Dragon Island, it is relatively close to Galar, so there are some wild Doromias.

Xia Chen consulted with Nimo, who said there were quite a few at Daguo Lake.

Since Pipa hadn't informed him of the location of the next Pokémon Master yet, Xia Chen decided to take advantage of this gap to help Little Dragon complete its evolution.

Lake Dag is the largest freshwater lake on the Padian continent, located in the western part of the Padian region.

To the west, a tributary flows into the Western Paddia Sea.

On the northeast side of the lake, you can see the Great Pot Waterfall, a waterfall cascading down from Frost Mountain, which is known as one of the "Ten Views of Patia".

Lake Dag is quite far from the city of Xeza in eastern Padiya, and it could take a long time to get there by traveling along the city route.

So Xia Chen decided to fly there directly to help Xiao Duolong evolve, naturally disregarding any romantic travel experience.

Mingyi didn't go with them, but instead headed south to challenge the Fukaba Dojo.

The two agreed to meet back in Xuezha City after completing their respective goals, and then continue their journey.

On April 15th, Xia Chen departed by plane and arrived at Millong Airport on the island in the middle of Daguo Lake that same day.

The island in the center of Daguo Lake is very large, larger than the entire city of Niangguang, so naturally there is a city here called Daguo City.

Before the development of technology, Daguo City was a cluster of villages composed of several fishing villages, where people made a living by fishing.

In modern times, Cauldron City has become a famous tourist city in Padia, and a great place for trainers to catch aquatic Pokémon or Pokémon that like to live near water.

Doromecia is one of the elves who live by the water.

However, being a pseudo-legendary Pokémon, Draco Messia is quite rare even in the entire Lake Dag.

Whenever there's news of a Dragonite or Dratini appearing, Big Pot City always experiences a mini-tourist peak.

There haven't been many people around these days, so there probably isn't any relevant information leaking out.

To find Draco Messia, you definitely can't look for it on the main island, as any that exist there have long been captured by countless trainers.

Xia Chen's target was the small islands scattered like stars on the lake.
