“Oh my god, I slept for a whole while, how is it only ten twenty-one?”
Li Chen, who had just woken up, excitedly opened his phone, only to find that it was just past ten, and there was still more than an hour until the items refreshed.
Time passes slowest when waiting, and Li Chen had never felt so tormented.
To pass the time, Li Chen secretly went to the entrance of the old man’s room, heard the loud snoring, and confirmed that the old man was sound asleep.
Li Chen then quietly returned to his own room, locked the door, and then took off the first Luxury Ball hanging on his Pokémon belt, lightly touched the button, and released Charmander.
“Wani~”
As soon as Charmander came out, upon seeing Li Chen, he raised his hands, asking Li Chen for a hug.
For this small request from Charmander, Li Chen naturally had to satisfy him.
Holding Charmander and interacting affectionately with him, Li Chen suddenly remembered something.
He quickly placed Charmander on the table, and under Charmander’s curious gaze, Li Chen opened his space backpack and took out a box of Fire-type advanced energy cubes from inside.
Because Li Chen suddenly remembered that ever since he acquired Charmander, he seemed to have not eaten anything; from afternoon until now, he had been hungry.
Li Chen opened the box of Fire-type advanced energy cubes, took out a square, entirely red energy cube from inside, and handed it to Charmander.
“Charmander, are you hungry? This is a Fire-type energy cube. Try it and see if it’s tasty.”
Li Chen looked at Charmander with joy, introducing it.
Charmander, hearing this, took the energy cube with his small hands, then sniffed it with his nose, and finally swallowed it in one bite.
“Wani~”
“Gulp~”
After eating the energy cube, Charmander let out a cheerful Growl and burped contentedly.
For a Pokémon like Charmander, who has not yet evolved and has a small body and appetite, eating one energy cube per meal is already enough to fill him up.
Time flew by while playing with Charmander, and unknowingly, it was already eleven fifty-nine, accompanied by the ringing of the alarm Li Chen had set.
Li Chen’s face showed an excited expression; he first turned off the alarm, then said something to Charmander, used the Luxury Ball to recall Charmander, and re-hung the Luxury Ball back on the Pokémon belt.
After doing all this, more than a minute had passed, successfully reaching twelve zero one eighteen seconds past midnight on the next day.
“System, System, are you there? Please help me open the flash sale interface.”
“Ding, okay, Host.”
Li Chen lowered his voice, impatiently calling out to the System. Fortunately, the System did not need to sleep and was available on call, quickly responding to Li Chen, and a phantom interface appeared before Li Chen’s eyes.
The flash sale System indeed refreshed three items, which were:
“Fire-type Skill Learning Machine: Fire Punch”
“Description: Contains the essence of an Elite Blaziken’s lifelong learning, can be used on any Fire-type Pokémon to help them learn and master Fire Punch (Note: Learning machines are one-time use)”
“Flash Sale Price: 9.9 yuan”
“…”
“Fire-type Secret Treasure: Fire Stone”
“Description: This is a stone containing a large amount of special Fire-type energy, of superior quality, which can evolve certain specific Pokémon. After successful use, there is a certain chance to slightly increase that Pokémon’s potential.”
“Flash Sale Price: 9.9 yuan”
“…”
“Luxury Ball”
“Description: Made of special materials, it can provide a more spacious and comfortable environment for the captured Pokémon, and slowly restore the Pokémon’s stamina and injuries.”
“Flash Sale Price: 9.9 yuan”
After looking at these three flash sale items, Li Chen felt a bit disappointed; compared to yesterday’s flash sale items, today’s three items were far inferior, not even on the same level.
“Ding, friendly reminder, the three precious items refreshed yesterday were because, given the Host’s first flash sale, this System made an exception and used a good luck card for the Host. Otherwise, did you think a Shinny Charmander with Master-level potential was so easy to refresh?”
A System voice sounded in Li Chen’s ear. He hadn’t expected his thoughts to be seen through by the System, and at the same time, he was left speechless by the System’s retort.
Li Chen originally thought he had incredibly good luck, as if his ancestral graves were emitting green smoke.
He hadn’t expected that it was actually the System, seeing his pitiful situation, that intervened, which then refreshed three incomparably precious flash sale items.
“Ding, if the Host dislikes the quality of the flash sale items, you can also choose not to purchase them; they will naturally refresh again after time passes.”
Then, another System voice sounded, and Li Chen always felt as if the other party was mocking him.
But Li Chen did not hesitate at all; he directly clicked the flash sale buttons behind the three items, successfully purchasing these three items, and his phone also received three debit messages.
Although the three items refreshed today were indeed far inferior to yesterday’s, they would still be rare treasures in reality.
For example, that skill learning machine; there are also skill learning discs sold on the market, specifically used to teach Pokémon new skills.
The cheapest ones cost tens of thousands of elf coins, and skill discs like Earthquake cost even more than two hundred thousand elf coins.
Moreover, whether a Pokémon can learn it depends on its aptitude and comprehension, which is purely a tax on intelligence.
Since it’s not guaranteed to be learned, why buy skill discs? It would be better to find a Pokémon that already knows the skill for live teaching.
And the Fire Stone is even more remarkable; although he doesn’t need it for now, this high-quality Fire Stone could sell for over a million elf coins if he sold it, making instant wealth not just a dream.
Even the Luxury Ball, which had the lowest value among the three items, was worth thirty thousand elf coins and was something Li Chen urgently needed.
Li Chen looked at the three extra items on his bed. He first took off an Ultra Ball from his Pokémon belt and then hung the newly acquired Luxury Ball.
As for the Ultra Ball, he directly put it into his space backpack.
As for the red stone, which was the Fire Stone, he also had no immediate use for it, so he put it into his space backpack as well.
On the other hand, the Fire Punch learning machine came at just the right time. Charmander was quite imbalanced in his skills, knowing six Dragon-type skills but only one Fire-type skill.
So Li Chen once again took off a Luxury Ball and released Charmander, who he had just recalled.
Seeing Charmander’s raised little hands, Li Chen knew that this guy was asking for a hug.
Li Chen did not hesitate, hugging Charmander for a while before placing him on the floor.
Then he picked up the thin Fire Punch skill learning machine, which looked like a disc, and handed it to Charmander.
“Charmander, this is the Fire Punch learning machine. Take it and see if you can learn Fire Punch.”
“You can do it, Charmander, I believe in you.”
With Li Chen’s encouragement, Charmander grasped the Fire Punch learning machine. In an instant, the learning machine disappeared, as if it had merged into Charmander’s body.
Then, Charmander suddenly clenched his fists, and a layer of dense flames covered his small fists, causing the temperature inside the room to rise rapidly.
Li Chen looked at the flames covering Charmander’s fists and was overjoyed, laughing like a child.
He hadn’t expected Charmander to learn Fire Punch so quickly, seemingly in the blink of an eye. As expected of a Master-level potential Charmander, with high comprehension and unparalleled aptitude.
“Charmander, that’s enough, enough! Stop quickly, put out the flames first, my goodness, don’t set my room on fire.”
But Li Chen quickly remembered something else, turning pale with fright, and hurriedly told Charmander to extinguish the flames.
