Pokémon: Having just completed the Pokédex, I'm now traversing the world of Beast Taming.

"Underground criminal organization... an assassination group."

"Getting a part-time job with them is easy, but to join, you have to complete at least five A-level assassination missions."

"A-level means that the person to be assassinated also possesses A-level strength."

"The assassin organization in Jinling City... I don't know where they are, but I can find their people."

Chi Hong pulled out a cell phone; it belonged to the guy named Lao Li who had come to assassinate him that day.

As he lay dying, he seemed to be trying to contact someone; his phone was still unlocked, and Chi Hong discovered something from it.

Old Li himself also works part-time as an assassin, and he has the contact information of relevant people in his phone.

So he contacted the contact person.

In the pitch-black park, a woman with a full head of red hair sat on a bench with her legs crossed.

She was wearing fishnet stockings and boots, and was reading a book by the light of a street lamp next to a bench.

As Chi Hong got closer, he noticed that the book's cover read "Postpartum Care for Pets".

The woman looked up, glanced at Chi Hong with her large eyes, and said, "Although you've concealed it well, I can still tell you're too young. Are you even an adult? I'm not interested in a little boy like you."

Chi Hong's face darkened. This woman thought he was there to flirt, but she certainly had the looks to back it up.

He took out his phone and held it out in front of the woman.

"Thank you, no thanks..."

Where is Mr. Li?

The woman glanced at her phone and immediately asked, "It's common for part-time workers to have others handle their business, but this Mr. Li doesn't seem to have done that before."

"He's dead."

Chi Hong put his phone away, his face calm.

"That's a real pity. Although his strength is average, he has indeed done quite a few C-level missions. He's the kind of guy who can give me a steady little commission, and he's never failed."

"But I don't remember him taking on the mission to assassinate you."

The woman closed her book and looked at Chi Hong with a smile. Her mature and sophisticated aura was overwhelming, but Chi Hong didn't feel anything. Shyness was an emotion that only innocent young virgins would have.

He is Chi Hong, no.

"I'll be frank, I need to hire an assassin. You should be able to arrange that for me, right?" Chi Hong leaned against a lamppost with his hands in his pockets.

"Of course, but how much are you offering? And who do you want to kill?"

"I'll give you a 200 million deposit to find me an A-level assassin, but I need to meet with the assassin first to confirm his abilities before I pay the deposit."

"Little brother, you're too naive. With a deposit of 200 million, I can only find you a B-level assassin. An A-level one would cost at least 800 million."

The woman said with a smile, without asking Chi Hong if he really had that many. Daring to mess around with the assassin organization, he would soon regret it!

"I thought it would cost hundreds of millions." Chi Hong was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect it to be so cheap. Was the assassin organization that poor?

He began to doubt whether the A-level assassin was as formidable as he had imagined.

"Hahaha, you're really funny. But my performance hasn't been great lately. If you're willing to put up a 400 million deposit first, I'll introduce my friend to you for this task."

The woman covered her mouth and laughed. She and her friend had indeed had very poor sales performance recently.

350.

"If possible, I'll pay you right after I meet your friend."

Chi Hong said without hesitation, "It doesn't matter whether I see my friends or not, what I want to see is an A-level pet!"

He chose to go out in the early morning because he was worried that he would see one of those pet animals on the roadside as soon as he stepped out the next morning.

It would be fun to unlock a caterpillar for myself when the time comes.

"I'll contact him, but first we'll agree that the final payment is 650 million."

The woman took out her phone and looked at Chi Hong, giving him a reminder.

"no problem."

Chi Hong nodded, already sensing that the woman had offered a significant discount.

After making the call, the woman said she would have to wait half an hour and gave her name, "Number 73".

She is the contact person for Assassin Number 73, and she emphasized that Number 73 is just a code name and has nothing to do with her performance ranking in the organization.

"Okay, I didn't ask."

Chi Hong responded, already certain in his heart that Number 73's performance within the assassin organization was among the worst...

Half an hour passed quickly, and a young man with a sinister face walked over with his neck hunched. He looked very cautious, glancing around every now and then.

He walked up to number 73 and nodded to her.

It seemed that they had already discussed it over the phone, and the sinister-looking man raised his hand to summon his pet beast.

A pet beast as tall as a person emerged from the ground, its expression even more gloomy than its owner's.

It has no hair, wrinkled skin, and two sharp teeth sticking out.

Overall, it can be summed up in one word: ugly.

"The Cruel Beast, an A-grade pet with pure dark attributes, is, as you should know, one of the most difficult A-grade pets to tame."

"How is it? Are you satisfied, little boss?"

Number 73 said with a smile.

"Hurry up and make him give you the money, stop talking nonsense, the family is waiting for rice to cook."

The man with the sinister face urged, his eyes darting around constantly.

Chi Hong glanced at the cruel beast; it was level 68 and its attribute was evil.

Its base stats are pretty good, much higher than its own Great Wolfhound, but it's just so ugly!

The Dark attribute of this world is the same as the Evil attribute in the Pokémon universe, Chi Hong deduced.

Soon, he unlocked a Pokémon, and a jet-black Poké Ball appeared immediately, ready to be released from his hand in the next second.

Chi Hong pressed down on the Poké Ball, preventing the Pokémon from being released.

He glanced at it, and the corners of his mouth immediately curled up.

Zoroark: Level 50.

Characteristic: Illusion.

Props: Exquisite glasses.

Techniques: Dark Blast, Shadow Ball, Flamethrower, Psychic.

This is a purely offensive Pokémon, and it also carries an item called the Specs, which can increase the power of the user's special attacks.

He clearly remembered that the Pokémon he brought with the items all had maxed-out Individual Values ​​(IVs) and corresponding maxed-out Core Effort Values ​​(EVs)!

"So this Zoroark, wait... it's level 50?"

Chi Hong was stunned for a moment. Meow Meow was only level 40. He couldn't quite understand how the level required to unlock Pokémon was determined.

"Alright, give us the deposit, then tell me the target you want to eliminate, and we'll give you results in three days."

The sinister-looking man urged, then raised his hand and recalled his pet beast.

"The person I'm going to take down is Lin Xia, the president of the Lin Group." Chi Hong glanced at him, and the name he uttered made the man's face instantly turn ugly.

"This bastard is playing us..." He took a step forward, looking at the red-haired woman and said in a deep voice, "How can you trust a child like this?"

"Little brother...you're kidding, right?"

"Lin Xia's assassin headquarters has no fewer than ten assassins, each worth no less than 10 billion. You want us to kill him for ten million?"

The red-haired woman's face also darkened; she felt she had been played for a fool.

"So there's nothing to discuss then? I'm sorry, I thought it wouldn't cost that much." Chi Hong spread his hands, looking very apologetic.

"If I don't teach you a lesson..." The man's face immediately darkened.

"I'll give you one million as an apology."

The man with the gloomy face stopped mid-sentence, his expression changing instantly.

"Well... I'm so sorry!"

He rubbed his hands together, looking embarrassed, and said...
