Pusina is a holy place for rehabilitation and recuperation, not only with excellent talents and technologies from health care and other related industries, but also with a considerable number of high-level medical equipment and equipment for sale, including the Pokémon egg hatching device that Merlin is about to buy. After hastily purchasing all the basic supplies that needed to be replenished, Merlin couldn't wait to rush to the medical supply store on the streets of Pusina.

When Merlin walked into the professional store with a dazzling array of medical equipment and high-tech medical equipment, he was unwilling to buy only one incubator. It just so happened that he had more money recently, and Merlin was dazzled by those fancy high-end goods and aroused his deep desire to buy, so the money was spent like flowing water, and all kinds of large and small subspace boxes were stuffed into Merlin's backpack one after another.

If it weren't for Wizel's insistence on reminding him to keep some of the funds for the event, and repeatedly telling him that he needed to set aside the labor costs of having a lapidary polish his lenses polished, Merlin would probably have purchased a lot more from the store. But even so, when Merlin was excited and satisfied to complete the purchase, he was respectfully escorted out of the store by the store manager and many clerks. Once again, Merlin's assets have shrunk dramatically......

I said, can't you control your desire to buy? Wizil is still chattering on the side on the premise that he knows that persuasion is useless, and you can buy a set of Pok Ball's 'Advanced Life Support Control Terminal', after all, it is still useful...... But why do you want to buy a set of such 'premium mobile ......' good tongue-twisting names! …… What is the 'Advanced Mobile Pokéball Comprehensive Treatment Terminal'? Don't you think it's a bit repetitive? And, why does this damn thing have such a long name!!

"Hey~~" Merlin, who had bought something good, only cared about a strong smirk, and didn't pay attention to Wizil's chatter.

And you also bought a set of that 'Pokémon special diagnosis and treatment instrument set', those things are so expensive, okay! Besides, are you sure you need all that kind of mess like an X-ray machine, a Y-ray machine, a color ultrasound machine, an imager, and so on? Are you planning to open a clinic!? Wizil roared, you scumbag!! I finally saved some money and had more money on hand, but you suddenly plunged into a crisis again!!

"Hey~~" Merlin continued to giggle.

What's the use of all these things, except for that egg hatching system, which must be purchased!? Wizil continues to blame Merlin, and you also bought another set of surgical instruments, plus another set of anesthetic tools!! Wizil's words suddenly changed, well, among these things, I only think that you bought the right set of anesthetic tools, and I also appreciate the decision to buy additional anesthetics and tranquilizers through 'non-legal' means...... Its tone has changed back to didactic mode again, but that doesn't hide the useless move you made to use your reserves to buy expensive and useless medical equipment! I have to bring up the impeachment proceedings! I'm going to freeze your funds! I'm going to limit your purchase privileges! You will only be allowed to buy things after we have voted unanimously on them!!

"Huh?" Merlin was stunned.

So decided! Vizil huffed and said: "A considerable part of your current funding comes from bets after the battle, so as earners, we must have the right to control the final flow of funds!" I will soon make a proposal of no confidence against you and restrictions on financial activities! In the future, you don't want to spend money like this again without knowing how to do it! You have to learn to respect every penny we earn!!

As soon as these cruel words were finished, a blind sound rang in Merlin's mind that would only ring after the phone was hung up. And with this blind sound, Merlin felt a faint chill surrounding him.

"Restrictions? Can't it be like this time? Merlin muttered a few words, and immediately let out a miserable wail.

On the street, many leisurely pedestrians were startled by the sudden screams of the child, and several middle-aged women who were bold and motherly even ran to Merlin's side to greet him for a while.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

In the end, Wizil's proposal did not surprise Merlin, and was unanimously approved by his partners. They agreed on the need for reasonable restrictions on Merlin's buying spree and strict control over Merlin's unrestrained flow of money. To put it simply, in the future, all funds involving an amount of more than 100 yuan (including buying and selling, and even the agreed bet amount during the battle) must be applied to all partners, and explain the reasons, report their reasonableness and necessity, and predict their risks and possible benefits or follow-up expenses. After discussion by all partners, the partners will inform Merlin whether Merlin can take the purchase or sale based on the results of the internal vote.

As the only one of his friends who has a clear concept of money and is "stingy", "slammed", and "petty" (all of the above are Merlin), Wizil is elected as the chief referee to manage the team's funds. In the future, all of Merlin's economic activities will have to be approved and verified by Wizil before they can be established.

In response to this result, Merlin had to acquiesce with tears in his eyes after expressing many protests and repeatedly trying to bribe/bribe the "parliamentarians" by improving food and other behaviors to no avail.

As a trainer and a human, he was deprived of his free economic rights by his Pokémon companions because he spent money without moderation, which is probably an unprecedented feat that has never been done before, right?

In this regard, Merlin could only cry silently in his heart......

Lapidologists are not hard to find, but it is difficult to find true lapidaries who follow ancient methods and strictly practice manual craftsmanship in the fast-paced, simplistic society of the modern age. Thankfully, Merlin, who came from an old aristocratic background, knew the location of several famous craftsmen who specialized in handmade jewelry, creating fine jewelry for old antiques.

And the closest to Pusina, where Merlin is currently located, is the famous craftsman Konno clan who lives in Sweet Wheat Town.

Modern jewelry can only be reluctantly called handicrafts, with the help of a large number of machines, mechanical power to produce things only the original value of their own precious materials without the slightest sense of beauty, let alone soul and spirit. Only those craftsmen who use their own hands to polish and carve with their own hands bit by bit, with God, are qualified to be called works of art. It is only when the craftsmanship of the craftsmen and the expensive materials used are combined with the mind that these ores and metals have artistic value.

In fact, for Merlin, to polish a pair of lenses, you really don't have to find a famous craftsman. But for Merlin, who has become accustomed to excellence, or simply has money to burn, he still trusts the handwriting of these famous craftsmen who have made great statements.

Now that the destination has been decided, Merlin quickly embarks on a journey to Sweet Wheat Town with Nightingale, who is still responsible for hatching eggs. Since he was not in a hurry, and Nightingale's own speed of action was really not fast, Merlin slowly began a new journey.

Unbeknownst to him, just as Merlin and Nightingale had just reached the foot of Mount Prussia and were about to turn and follow the road straight to Sweet Wheat Town, a magician dressed in hippie costume met him.

"It's you!?" The two of them, who had already crossed paths, both spoke when they saw each other. It's just that Merlin's side was simply surprised to see the old man, while the magician's side was surprised.

"It's really you!" The magician who walked over on the opposite side was naturally the famous trainer Duowu who had "guided" Merlin to come to Pusina to challenge the gym, and he said with a sigh while playing with the treasure ball in his hand: "You really made a lot of fame in the neighborhood!" Not only did he defeat the brother owner of the Pusina Gym, who had never been defeated since the opening of the museum, but he also caused a big storm on the already lively mountain road in Pusina! ”

Tatake was amazed and looked at Merlin, who had returned to his usual outfit, with interest, "Originally, I didn't really believe that the legendary imp worth a lot of money would be you, but now it seems that it is really you." ”

Hearing this, Merlin immediately smiled bitterly and said, "You have also heard about this matter?" He shook his head, "Those guys, they're crazy." Originally, it was just an ordinary roadside fight, but who knows how to spread it more and more evilly, and finally it was out of control......"

"Hehe," said Tatake with a smile, "it's not at all surprising that this would happen to ordinary people whose eyes are blinded by money. Besides, legend has it that you're worth tens of millions! This is such a huge amount of money, even I can't help but be tempted......" He looked at Merlin with a raised brow.

"Tens of millions!?" Merlin exclaimed. He could vaguely guess that he must be worth a lot of money in the rumors, but he really didn't expect that he was worth so much money!

"Well, legend has it that if you beat you, you'll pay tens of millions of bets. And these are the bets you have accumulated from the top of the mountain road of Pusina......" said Tabu, "and it is a shame that the foolish men and women who are bent on getting ahead and getting rich overnight are willing to believe it...... With tens of millions of jackpots, where would they have so much money for you to win...... What a joke. ”

Merlin had no choice but to put on a deeper wry smile.

The fundamental purpose of the alliance to vigorously promote the trainer policy, encouraging teenagers, young people, and even middle-aged people who have already started a family to train Pokémon and become trainers, has not yet been praised, but the means taken are nothing more than to lure/lure through huge or even massive amounts of money and huge fame. From the very beginning, we reward scholars and explorers who have discovered Pokémon, and scholars or individuals who have discovered new tricks, evolutionary lineages, and everything about Pokémon. Until now, the top three in the conference have been rewarded, the salaries of elite trainers after joining the league have been raised, and the economic and financial policies surrounding elite trainers have been promoted...... All of this, to put it bluntly, is to tell ordinary people that as long as they become a prestigious high-level trainer, then they can become a member of the upper class, they can have thousands of family fortunes, and they can be a good person.

For ordinary people, it is this visible benefit that most instigates/motivates them to follow in the footsteps of the Alliance, and it is the countless examples of sudden riches that can most motivate them to devote themselves to the trainer and Pokémon without hesitation.

In the not-so-distant period of the former Alliance, Warcraft was a monster that could only be driven and controlled by individuals with great strength or families with profound heritage and nobles who wielded great power and power. In the era of the Alliance, Pokémon has entered the homes of ordinary people, mingling in the streets and alleys of towns and villages of all sizes, and has become an ordinary pet and companion in people's daily life.

No one can arbitrarily judge the merits of this development trend, and at most they are standing on their own side and making some inconsequential comments from their own point of view.

"Hey, are you going to attend this year's quartz convention?" Tatake asked Merlin suddenly.

"Of course," Merlin nodded, "of course I'm going to participate." I'm going to make a trip to Sweet Wheat Town, and then I'm going straight to the Quartz Plateau to start preparing for this conference. ”

"Oh?" Dowu showed a thoughtful look, and after a while, he spoke, "So, do you mind if you mind having another traveling companion?" ”

"Traveling companions?"

"Well, it's always boring to be alone." Tatake tossed the baby ball back and forth between his hands, "Anyway, you're going to the Quartz Plateau in the end, so why don't you and I go on a trip together?" ”

"This ......"

If it was the former Merlin, he would naturally reject Tawu's request for a companion neatly. No matter how normal and common Tawu's request seems to ordinary people, it is always an unnecessary trouble and a huge hidden danger to Merlin, who has basic hostility and inexplicable defense against humans. However, Merlin now does not seem to have many of his previous scruples and precautions, and after a little silence, he readily agrees to go with Tawu.

Anyway, it's just a relationship...... Merlin, who has taken an important step, comforts himself: Always alone, it is indeed a little lonely and boring......

Turning his head, he happened to see Tawu who was still changing various magic techniques, and a smile naturally appeared on the corner of Merlin's mouth.
