Elf: Hard work pays off, and I became Giovanni.

"Six million."

The hard stone auctioned by the Elf League is much more effective than others because it comes from the Black Stone Vein.

It's perfect for the horned rhinoceros, and six million is about the highest price Lu Chen could realistically expect.

If you raise the price any higher, it won't be worth it.

"Six million per time..."

"Six million three times... Sold!"

With the auctioneer's gavel falling, Lu Chen successfully obtained the hard stone that amplified the power of rock-based moves by 25%.

Although the Dragon Kingdom Elf Association was backing the auction, Lu Chen still decided to pay for the items himself in the morning.

After all, the money to cover the shortfall isn't something you can just say offhand, and the amount is limited.

So money should be spent wisely...

Among the remaining items, Lu Chen also took a liking to a few other things.

Eighty years of unmelting ice, increases the power of ice-type moves by 30%!

A Flame Orb formed by a Master-level Molten Ant Beast; if a Pokémon carries it, it will immediately suffer a burn.

This is particularly effective against Pokémon with traits like Guts that increase their attack power when under abnormal status conditions.

But Lu Chen bought it for Charizard.

The burn status is essentially an overuse of fire-type energy. It's even better if Charizard carries it so that it can directly activate the Flash Fire ability in battle.

It is also a special technique for using props.

only……

While the Flame Orb was being auctioned, another professional trainer from the beautiful country was also bidding.

As a result, Lu Chen didn't have enough money prepared in the end.

after all……

He never imagined that the Flame Pearl could fetch such a high price of 13.2 million!

However, considering that it is made from a master-level spirit, the price is actually not high.

However, 14 million was Lu Chen's bottom line.

Any higher, and in his mind, it wouldn't be worth it at all.

But if I give up, I'll feel a little reluctant.

Just as Lu Chen was caught in a dilemma, another voice rang out to participate in the auction.

"Sixteen million... sixteen million, three times, sold!!"

This time the price was more than two million higher than the original price!

This caught the professional trainer from that beautiful country completely off guard, leaving him no time to react.

·· ·······Requesting flowers··· ········

In the end, they had no choice but to give up.

"Tsk tsk, sixteen million! That's enough for my Infernape to eat so many Power Cubes it'll be sick of them!"

Lin Ye, who was standing nearby, stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

Sixteen million was spent just like that.

"So there are really a lot of these rich people and big spenders..."

Lu Chen hadn't finished speaking.

There was a knock on the door of their private room.

"Who could it be at this time...?"

Lin Ye excitedly ran to open the door.

What came into view was a young lady with an exceptionally sweet smile.

"Um... excuse me, is Lu Chenjun here?"

"Huh? Oh, yes, yes, Lu Chen, I'm looking for you." After recognizing the person, Lin Ye immediately turned around and winked at Lu Chen.

"Hmm? Ms. Yuki Sakai, is there something you need?"

"Lu Chenjun, Father just said you probably want this Flame Pearl, so he specially bought it and asked me to give it to you. I hope you won't mind. He has something to do over there and can't bring it over himself, so I'm very sorry..."

Yuki Sakai lifted her skirt and bowed to Lu Chen as she explained.

However, judging from her flushed earlobes, it's likely that there was some falsehood in her words.

"Oh? I'm sorry..."

Lu Chen hasn't refused yet.

Without a word, Yuki Sakai shoved the object into his arms, winking at him as she said, "Consider this my thank-you gift for saving me last time. Don't refuse in public, or I'll be so embarrassed... Lu~Chen~kun~"

hiss!

No!

You're so good at this!

Seeing Lu Chen's blank expression, Sakai Yuki smiled and quietly closed the door and left.

"Ahem... Lu Chenjun, don't refuse!"

Seeing Lu Chen looking at the warm flame orb in his hand with a complicated expression, Lin Ye repeated it in a teasing and pretentious manner.

"What kind of 'dog's tycoon' are you? This 'tycoon' has now helped you win such a great prize. Are you still a dog?"

Faced with Lin Ye's teasing, Lu Chen rolled his eyes helplessly.

He placed the Flame Orb on the table, just as he was about to explain something.

Aunt Su Yun, standing beside her, glanced sideways and frowned slightly.

“Lu Chen…”

"Ah, Aunt Su Yun."

"Making many friends is a good thing, but... don't be a kept man."

Chapter 514, the grand finale—The Orb of Life! Let's wait and see! (Please subscribe)

Fortunately, the little episode about 'living off a woman' was finally understood by Aunt Su Yun after Lu Chen explained it.

otherwise……

If this image of his were to spread back, he would probably be crucified immediately!

And after the morning's auction.

Lu Chen obtained a hard stone from the Black Stone Vein, a piece of eighty-year-old unmelting ice, and a flame orb condensed by a master-level melting ant beast.

The total cost was 6.2 million, plus... a favor.

In the past, this amount of money would have been an astronomical sum for Lu Chen.

However, with the help of Dawn Company providing funds, he is no longer as strapped for cash as he used to be.

As for that favor...

Lu Chen also said there was nothing he could do, since Sakai Heavy Industries was rich and powerful.

He acts like a rich, arrogant tycoon.

That's why Lu Chen didn't have to spend money to get the Flame Orb he wanted in the end.

Simultaneously.

Lin Yeye purchased a top-grade fire stone and a bone club.

According to him, he wanted to show Infernape if it could master the staff technique...

Su Yun also purchased two silver spoons left behind by the death of a Master-level Alakazam, which was of great value to her Alakazam.

It also had good results.

The price, however, left Lu Chen somewhat speechless.

The two silver spoons were matched as a pair, and the final transaction price was seventy-eight million...

We're almost there, and we've reached a small goal.

Besides, it was Su Yun who paid for it himself.

really.

None of the families that run temples are poor!

……

After the morning auction and the lunch break.

It's about two o'clock in the afternoon.

Finally, the highly anticipated main event has arrived.

Compared to the quiet morning, the entire hall and private rooms were almost full of people in the afternoon!

More than a dozen top trainers were seated in private rooms in various countries.

Inside the hall, hundreds of master-level trainers were also eager to get started.

Among the items auctioned in the afternoon.

Not only are there many shiny Pokémon, but there are also quite a few pseudo-legendary Pokémon eggs.

"A shiny Charmander... a Shiny Gastly..."

"A mutated fireball rat with electric properties..."

Lin Ye looked at the list of auction items, his mouth practically watering.

But at most, you can only look at it.
