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

"You mean, you want to make a deal with Lord Zir?"

The stone woman asked with a surprised expression.

"Is there a problem?" Yuan Zhou asked impatiently. Nobody was going to let him stop making money, you bastards!

Although the money goes into Chi Hong's pocket, a strange cooperation has emerged between the two. Of course, if Chi Hong suddenly explodes and blows Yuan Zhou's head off, Yuan Zhou will only feel that it is "just an ordinary thing, nothing out of the ordinary".

The woman with the stone-like skin glanced back at the small door to the private room and explained in a low voice, "Lord Zier is notoriously stingy. Although he pays quickly, his prices are extremely low."

"Those who trade frequently know that the first price Lord Zir quoted was practically a freebie. The second price that was agreed upon was double the price you wanted to pay to Lord Zir, which was the normal market price."

"???" Chi Hong was stunned for a moment, then suddenly grabbed Yuan Zhou by the throat and cursed, "Are you really an alien?"

"You don't even know this? You sold it for 300 cosmic coins and lost half your money!!"

Seeing Chi Hong's angry expression, Yuan Zhou chuckled and said, "Well, I'm just a penniless guy, so isn't it normal for me to make mistakes occasionally?"

"Give me the money!" Chi Hong roared irritably.

"All of them?" Yuan Zhou's expression immediately turned serious.

"nonsense....."

"Or I'll blow you up along with this spaceship right now..."

Chi Hong narrowed his eyes...

"Here you go!!"

"Don't act impulsively!!"

Upon seeing this, Yuan Zhou immediately took out three cosmic coins and placed them directly into Chi Hong's palm.

"Um..." the stone woman stammered, "would you like me to take you to the ATM at the Universe Bank here?"

"Oh? Just like Earth."

"But I don't have a card from the Universal Bank."

Chi Hong spread his hands, indicating his helplessness.

The stone woman's eyes lit up!

"Let me take you to get it done!" the stone woman said, grabbing Chi Hong's arm with all four of her hands.

A beauty like her would make any normal passenger want to ask her if she offered any special services. But with Chi Hong's naive and unsophisticated demeanor, Stone Girl believed he would be willing to handle all sorts of transactions, and might even take out a loan.

Then what about my rebate...?

Thinking of this, the stone woman's smile widened even more.

But for an ordinary Earthling, this is both bizarre and unsettling...

"Don't touch me!!"

Startled, Chi Hong flung his hand away and stood up abruptly. Yuan Zhou and Shi Nu stared at him blankly, equally confused as to why he had suddenly become so agitated.

Yuan Zhou glanced at the stone woman and thought to himself, "Isn't she incredibly sexy? And dressed so scantily, I really can't understand the aesthetics of Earthlings."

"Her taste is terrible; she has absolutely no idea what true beauty is."

Yuan Zhou thought about it more and more and he nodded involuntarily.

Snapped! ! !

Chi Hong slapped Yuan Zhou hard across the forehead!

"Why did you hit me? You want to fight me one-on-one?!"

"You really think I'm afraid of you?!"

Yuan Zhou instantly flew into a rage and roared at Chi Hong.

"You were just slandering me in your mind, weren't you?" Chi Hong narrowed his eyes.

"I don't!"

"Swear it!"

"Damn it, I'm sorry!" Yuan Zhou's face turned bright red with anger, and his angular eyes began to gleam green...

"Let's go, lead the way."

Chi Hong glanced at the stone woman, his expression cold, seemingly wanting to keep her at arm's length...

However, he didn't know that, for the Stone Maiden race, the colder and more unyielding the male, the greater his attraction to the Stone Maidens!

"Okay...okay..."

"Sir, this way please!"

A strange blush appeared on Shi Nu's face as she walked awkwardly ahead to lead the way for Chi Hong, while Yuan Zhou followed behind with a displeased expression.

He was an unregistered person, but he did have a card from the Universal Bank. However, this card only allowed money to go in and not out; as soon as money was deposited, it would be immediately deducted by the Universal Bank.

Therefore, Yuanzhou can only use cash, which is very inconvenient.

On the way, the Rotom phone popped out of Chi Hong's arms, its big eyes full of seriousness, frantically copying everything inside the spaceship.

"Loto..."

Rotom immediately switched to a serious expression!

Network, information, intelligence, system.

They secretly copied and analyzed everything, then enhanced its functionality and permissions.

Guided by the Stone Woman, Chi Hong registered an account with the Cosmic Bank and also provided a form of identification.

His class is: Cosmic Wanderer.

Why?

That's because Chi Hong doesn't have the status of a cosmic citizen. He doesn't own a house on a high-level planet, nor does he own any planet.

That woman with the stone-like skin even recommended that Chi Hong take out a loan to buy a house...

It's all a mess. As a human from Earth, Chi Hong naturally knows how much of a rip-off this thing is. His primary task is to go home, and he doesn't need any house to prove his status as a citizen of the universe.

"Mr. Chi Hong, um..."

"You can sell your items directly on the Cosmic Bank's auction platform."

"All you need to do is install the Universe Bank's program. It can unilaterally create an item teleportation device on your program, and if the price is right, it will teleport the item directly."

"And regardless of the value, the Universe Bank will only charge a one percent fee."

That's nonsense. They already said one percent, regardless of its value...

This is clearly a strategy where they want to make a profit even on the biggest opportunities, and also consider every small one as a bonus...

Chi Hong tried it out, and to his astonishment, the Universal Bank's program could directly provide him with the price of the fruit!

"This app is amazing!"

"They didn't even know where this Universal Bank was, yet they were able to deduce the market price of my fruit."

"I guess there are similar products all over the universe, and they all fall within a price range."

Chi Hong guessed that it was true; the Universe Bank could pay 550 Universe Coins for a single fruit. Even with a 1% handling fee, it would only be 5.5, which was much more reasonable than that of Qi Er.

"That old Qi'er started by offering 30 universe coins..." Chi Hong said in a low voice with an unfriendly tone.

"I think he's already courting death!" Yuan Zhou, standing to the side, glanced at the contents of Rotom's phone and his face darkened.

"?" Chi Hong looked at Yuan Zhou in surprise and asked, "Tell me honestly, were you reading online novels on Earth with your clone?"

"Yes, everyone needs a hobby!"

"I've read a lot of novels, including 'Shaking the Heavens,' 'Blocking the Sky,' 'God Against the Gods,' and 'The Master of Best Friends.'"

"These Earthlings are really interesting. They have such creative ideas, but they can't even leave the solar system. They get exhausted just trying to leave Earth."

"I......"

"Alright, stop talking. When I was broke, you could call me 'brother' and I wouldn't argue with you." Chi Hong paused, then showed Yuan Zhou his balance, and asked, "Now, I have over three thousand universe coins. You still can't beat me. What should you call me?"

"Old...brother?" Yuan Zhou asked tentatively.

"Is this not a good idea? Oh dear~~~"

"You should know you're thousands of years older than me, right?"

Chi Hong retorted, looking embarrassed.

"Those who are accomplished are teachers, and those who are wealthy are superiors."

"Brother, you're still too modest."

Yuan Zhou rubbed his hands together in flattery...

In Chi Hong's mind, Yuan Zhou's character had completely collapsed at this point...

This is not a bizarre, Cthulhu-like extraterrestrial demon at all.

This is just a stupid idiot driven mad by loan sharks...
