Starting with the Different Colored Gas Bomb, he became the Poison Master.

Chapter 20: Taking Down the Overlord Spirit

"How about you take out a loan, Kai?"

Zhao Qian asked tentatively.

Ye Kai rolled his eyes at him. A loan?

He had considered this possibility long ago.

The elf loan industry is highly developed in this world.

From official alliance officials to ordinary citizens, money can be borrowed everywhere.

Of course, you need to provide collateral.

Even so, he would not choose this path.

Rumor has it that those who use violence to collect debts are at least level 2 professional trainers!

With his current strength, trying to renege on his debt would be suicide.

This Nidoking is indeed rare.

Claims that being large doesn't necessarily make one suitable for combat and that one is an easy target.

It was just an excuse for him to try and lower the price.

Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, Zhao Qian gritted his teeth.

"280 million, is that acceptable?"

"If you miss Nidoking, a ruler of such enormous size, you'll probably never find another one like it!"

Ye Kai glanced at him.

Looks like we can't let this kid lead us.

Zhao Qian went so far as to treat me to a meal just to sell this elf, clearly because he was in a hurry for money.

Before he even started bargaining, the other party had already cut the price by 20!

It seems that the price is far from reaching the bottom line of the psychological price.

“Zhao Qian, look, Nidoking is covered in thorns, has a deadly poison, and is extremely cruel.”

"Most people would avoid it like the plague, let alone a tyrant like this, which would only be more tyrannical!"

"A spirit like that is worth more than 280 million."

"Even if you give it to someone else, it will be difficult to sell."

After a series of seemingly polite words,

In reality, he made Zhao Qian speechless!

A table full of hot, delicious food couldn't mask the awkward silence.

"Brother Kai is a smart man, so why not just say what you want?"

"One million is the limit."

"what?!"

Zhao Qian was furious.

This Nidoking was a Pokémon that his father's team fought tooth and nail to acquire, worth 100 million?!

It's not even enough to cover the employees' medical expenses and labor costs!

"Even with this, I still have to ask my dad for money."

"I'm sure you've heard about my husband's situation."

"..."

"So there's no room for negotiation?"

Zhao Qian took a deep breath, using a retreat as a tactic to show that he didn't want to talk anymore.

"This is the limit in terms of price, but I can compensate you for the HM (Hidden Machine), either Fire or Poison types are fine."

"Of course, I also have items that you can bring into battle."

This statement was practically an open declaration that he possessed many poison and fire-type HMs.

As for battle items.

A few days ago, the system automatically opened the item shop.

Magnet, 1000 energy. When carried, it increases the power of Electric-type moves by 20%.

It does not melt ice and has 1000 energy. When equipped, it increases the power of ice-type moves by 20%.

Charcoal, 1000 energy points...

Basically, everything the system offers is stuff he doesn't need.

Even the poison needles were priced at 1000 energy points, leaving Ye Kai speechless.

Right now, he has a full 10,000 energy points left. If he doesn't use them now, when will he?

The Aura Belt is priced at 2500 energy points in the system, which is a good item!

"It still won't work. After all, this is Nidoking. Nidorino needs at least one Moon Stone to evolve!"

"Moon Stones are even rarer than Water, Fire, and Thunder Evolution Stones, with a market price of around 180 million to 200 million. It must be worth at least one Evolution Stone!"

Zhao Qian was still making his final defense.

Ye Kai then picked up a piece of raw cod sashimi.

"But who would use the Moonstone on Nidorino?"

"It's Clefairy and Jigglypuff. Isn't Skitty cute?"

Especially in this world, Clefairy and Jigglypuff are both Fairy-type Pokémon.

Their popularity has remained consistently high, and they are very popular among female trainers.

"Besides, there are wild populations of Nidoking and Nidoqueen, and their numbers are not small!"

"You can't bring up the Moonstone; those are completely different things."

His words were reasonable and well-founded, and Zhao Qian simply couldn't argue with him.

"...Okay! One million it is!"

"Give me two more Secret Techniques and a Power Sash as compensation!"

Ye Kai had already experienced firsthand how powerful the Focus Sash was in Pokémon game battles.

In this world, this is a newly emerging and popular product.

A top-tier combat item developed by the alliance!

If a Pokémon carrying this item is one-shotted while at full health, it will retain a sliver of health instead of dying instantly!

Of course, this incredible effect can only be applied once per match.

The price of the imposing sash is around 50, and there is a hint that the price is about to rise!

"Let me make a call."

He put down his chopsticks and took out his phone.

I thought to myself, "This Zhao Qian is really stubborn and won't budge!"

It seems he'll have to spend some money to buy this Nidoking.

Well then, now it's up to Old Deng.

If things come to a head, they can still squeeze out 100 million.

"Hello? No, he's the one who started this trouble for me..."

"Just 200 million. I won't ask you for a single penny for the next year..."

"No, 80 isn't enough!"

"Hello? Hello?!"

Actually, the call ended after the mention of 200 million.

However, to make the performance more convincing, he specifically told Zhao Qian what he meant.

"Ding!"

The 200 million has arrived.

Ye Rong was a little angry this time.

His anger wasn't because Ye Kai had ruthlessly defeated his younger brother.

Instead, Ye Xuan, even using the pseudo-legendary Larvitar, couldn't defeat a Zubat!

Not only could they not win, but they were also instantly killed in one move.

It's embarrassing enough to be defeated in seconds.

She still needs him, her father, to coax her.

"Hey, don't worry, his Zubat is just a bit higher level right now."

"When your Larvitar evolves into Tyranitar, defeating your brother will be a piece of cake, right?"

After some persuasion, Ye Xuan was finally appeased.

But he, as the father, was already planning for his younger brother's future.

I'll call him again about this kind of thing in the future.

Ye Xuan is utterly useless!

It's time to consider letting Ye Kai inherit the family business.

Previously, the two brothers were still in the learning stage, and academic performance was the main competition, with Ye Xuan far surpassing Ye Kai.

But in this world, what matters most is real-world experience!

At best, studying hard will only make you a scholar or expert in elf research.

His outstanding combat skills earned him the prestigious title of Dojo Master and one of the Eight Elite Four.

Even the championship!

Ye Rong already has enough wealth.

To put it bluntly, as long as you don't do anything reckless, you could spend it all, even if it meant using your son's son's son's money!

So he wanted his sons to pursue strength and become world-renowned Pokémon trainers!

"Ding!"

Ye Kai and Zhao Qian have already reached a deal.

In the end, they bought the dominant Nidoking for 80.

"As promised, you still owe me 3 Secret Techniques and a Power Sash!"

“No problem, but you have to put the Pokémon that wants to learn skills with me this week.”

"I'll give you the imposing sash tomorrow."

Regardless, Ye Kai managed to negotiate a further reduction of 20 yuan.

Instead, it was replaced with an opportunity to learn a skill.

After discussing these matters, the two chatted and laughed, and then continued eating.

This meal took an hour and a half to finish.

Zhao Qian did most of the talking, revealing many secrets to him.

Zhao Qian's father and mother were both elf hunters.

Of course, they only dare to capture Pokémon because they have a legal license issued by the League.

Instead, his parents were also forest rangers.

The mantis was caught and given to him by his parents.

There may be other wild Pokémon in the future, including quite a few Poison-type ones.

If a suitable elf comes along, he will inform Ye Kai.

Not long after, the two returned to school.

Little did they know that the story of Ye Kai and the Cross Bat had already spread throughout the entire Rock Academy!

The pink cross-bat has attracted a lot of attention.

It also includes the story of the school champion exchanging a Pokémon egg for a Shiny Zubat.

The conflict between the two brothers and the story of favoritism towards their father spread like wildfire!

"Brother Kai, quick! Let everyone see the Crossbat!"

"Yes, yes, I heard it's pink, and it's really pretty!"

"A real man should wear a pink fairy, it's so flashy!"

His dormitory was completely surrounded by his classmates.

Unable to withstand the crowd's relentless advances, Ye Kai directly demonstrated the Cross Bat to everyone.

"Come out, Crossbat!"

"Cough!!"

A pink cross-shaped bat, over 2 meters long, hovers in the air, flapping its four wings.

He gestured for the cross-bat to fly around the school building once and then fly back.

A pink blur flashed by, moving as fast as lightning, and in the blink of an eye it had darted dozens of meters away.

In the blink of an eye, they've flown back.

"hiss!"

Everyone gasped in astonishment; that was incredibly fast!

Ye Xuan also witnessed this scene from afar.

His jealous gaze seemed to spit fire.

"Damn it, how did that ugly Zubat evolve into a pink Crobat in the blink of an eye?!"
