Locke: Daily intelligence, I'm going crazy finding bargains!

Golden Bean's eyes widened, and he even forgot to wipe his snot.

"Are you serious?"

"When have I ever joked with you?"

Luo Xing turned and walked towards the living room, leaving behind a single sentence.

"Prepare the entrance fee; we'll leave first thing tomorrow morning."

As the night breeze blew by, Luo Xing stood on the balcony, reflecting on the past two days. It still felt somewhat unreal, but having family and friends around was actually quite nice.

Just then, my phone lit up in my pocket; it was a message from Su Mumu.

[Su Mumu: The egg is so cute! I knitted it a little blanket! [Image]]

Luo Xing glanced at the picture; a red and white elf egg was wrapped in a pink woolen blanket, and a circle of plush toys were placed around it.

He typed two words and sent them.

Luo Xing: So ugly.

Three seconds later, the other side exploded.

[Su Mumu: Luo Xing, are you sick in the head?! !!!]

[Su Mumu: You're going to get a beating tomorrow!!!]

In the system panel, the hatching progress bar for the mysterious egg jumped from 0% to 0.1%.

Before going to sleep, Luo Xing took out the two bottles of potions the old man had given him from his pocket: a blue magic power boosting potion and a red physique boosting potion.

Without hesitation, I unscrewed the red bottle and gulped it down.

It tasted extremely bitter. As soon as the medicine entered my stomach, a surge of heat exploded from my stomach and spread throughout my body along my limbs.

Luo Xing felt that his body temperature was over 40 degrees Celsius, and his bones and muscles were crackling. It took about half a minute for the temperature to subside.

He threw two punches at the sandbag in front of him, and the power felt noticeably different.

Next up is the blue bottle.

This one tastes much better, like mint water.

After drinking it, I had a wonderful feeling in my body, similar to how a phone battery went from 60% to 95%.

Luo Xing closed his eyes, sensing the changes in the magical power within his body.

He can currently summon two spirits at the same time without any problem, but he's a little short of three. At this rate, with one or two more bottles, he'll be able to release three spirits simultaneously.

At six o'clock in the morning, the notification sound rang again.

[Ding! Daily intelligence update.]

[Today's News: This morning, there was an autographed photo of Xu Yifei at a street vendor's stall on Garden Road.]

Luo Xing stared at the intelligence report for five seconds, suspecting that the system had malfunctioned and had given him this intelligence report at six o'clock on a weekend.

Autographed photo of Xu Yifei? Who is Xu Yifei?

A quick mental search revealed Xu Yifei, the star magician of this world. She possessed a pink Snow Shadow doll, whose popularity surpassed even that of the top celebrities in her previous life.

The key question is, why does he want an autographed photo?

It can't add attributes to the spirits, nor can it be used for fighting.

Luo Xing even considered continuing to sleep and not doing the task, but hesitated for a second.

"It's not far anyway, not taking advantage of a bargain is just plain stupid!"

When I went downstairs, Huang Jindou was still sleeping like a log, his snoring carrying from the second floor to the first floor, causing a strong tremor.

Luo Xing went out, walked along the lake for a few minutes, and then turned onto Garden Road.

Garden Road was quiet in the early morning, lined with tall plane trees on both sides, and a few elderly people doing their morning exercise by the roadside.

At the corner at the end of the road, an old man wearing a straw hat spread out a blue cloth, on which was piled a bunch of messy old cards, old photos, and old posters.

Luo Xing squatted down, flipped through the cards a couple of times, and a slightly stiffer card was revealed.

Luo Xing took it out and looked at it.

The photo shows a woman in a formal dress with a bright smile. She looks nine-tenths like Liu Yifei, and there is a signature in the lower right corner.

[Item: Autographed photo of Xu Yifei (Limited Edition, No. 037)]

[Note: Authentic item, well-preserved.]

"Sir, how much is this?"

The old man in the straw hat glanced at it and waved it casually.

"That one, five yuan."

Without saying a word, Luo Xing took out five yuan and handed it over, then put the autographed photo in his pocket.

A notification sound went off in my head.

[Ding! Today's intelligence settlement complete.]

[Completion Rating: F]

[Reward: 1 low-grade cocoa fruit.]

Without further explanation, Luo Xing received an F-level rating.

On his way back, he stopped by a breakfast shop and bought eight steamed buns, two cups of soy milk, and a serving of xiaolongbao. For someone with Huang Jindou's appetite, six steamed buns would be the minimum.

When I pushed open the villa door, Huang Jindou was already awake, sitting on the sofa picking her toes in a very eye-catching silk nightgown, her hair sticking up like a bird's nest.

"Brother Xing! Where did you go? I thought you ran away because you were afraid of losing money!"

Luo Xing placed the breakfast on the table and casually tossed the autographed photo onto it as well.

"Have a meal."

Huang Jindou came over to take the steamed bun, but when he caught a glimpse of the autographed photo, the bun in his hand fell onto the table.

"Xu...Yifei!"

He grabbed the autographed photo, his small eyes widening into saucers.

"This, this, this... this is Xu Yifei's autographed photo?!"

Luo Xing took a bite of the steamed bun and hummed in agreement.

"Brother Xing, where did you get this?!"

Golden Bean was trembling all over, turning the autographed photo over and over to look at it, and then holding it up to the light.

"Found it at a street stall, five yuan."

Five dollars?!

"Brother Xing, do you know how rare this photo is? It's numbered; you can't buy it on the market at all!"

"Take it if you like."

Golden Bean was stunned.

"Really... really for me?"

"I have no use for the autographed photo, take it."

Huang Jindou held the autographed photo, and her eyes instantly welled up with tears.

"Brother Xing, you're my brother, no, you're my godfather!"

Luo Xing kicked him.

"Alright, enough with the mushy stuff, let's get down to business."

Luo Xing set off first. As soon as he opened the door, Su Mumu stood there with her hands on her hips, her face full of anger.

"Luo Xing!"

What brings you here?

"What did I come here for?! I told you yesterday I was going to beat you up!" Su Mumu pounced on Luo Xing like a lamb.

Golden Bean changed her clothes, still holding the unfinished steamed bun in her hand, and just as she stepped out, she saw this scene.

"You guys continue, I didn't see anything."

Su Mumu's face turned bright red, and Luo Xing kicked Huang Jindou again.

"Shut up, eat your food."

Golden Bean chuckled and shrank back, giving Su Mumu a knowing look, only to be glared at fiercely.

After the playful fight, Luo Xing told Su Mumu about the beans.

Su Mumu immediately expressed her excitement and said she wanted to go too. Luo Xing couldn't persuade her otherwise, so she had to give in.

Upon arrival, a large clown mask stood at the entrance. Luo Xing was surprised that the store was called "Joker Pet Shop".

Upon entering, the place was much more lively than I had imagined, with at least twenty or thirty people crammed into the lobby, all queuing up.

In the center of the hall, in a transparent display case, sits a Pokémon egg.

The eggshell is dark gray all over, with fine silver patterns on the surface, and a display board stands next to the cabinet.

[This week's grand prize: Epic-grade Memory Stone Sprite Egg]

[Attribute: Earth]

[Bloodline Quality: Epic]

Luo Xing glanced at the display board and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with it, so the problem must lie in the rooms where the lottery was being held.
