Volume 3: Gods of Hoenn Chapter 244 A growth weapon that doesn't need to fight monsters and upgrade
From the beginning of the game to the present, Wang Hao knows that there are actually very few direct sales props, and most of them are basic daily props, such as Poke Balls and recovery pills, which are also mainly common types. Other items can only be obtained through special Personal Mission triggers or limited-time sales events. As a result, there are now a large number of players gathering at any limited-time sale.
It's just that what Wang Hao didn't expect was that Dewen's limited-time sale event actually announced the information on the player's channel three days in advance, which gave many players who were not nearby enough time to rush here. As more and more players gathered, the time quietly reached seven o'clock.
"Welcome to the limited-time prop sales conference held by our company! This time, we are selling the latest product of Devon, the Flame Ball! In the past, Poké Balls only provided a temporary place for Pokémon to rest and live, and did not have much effect. This time, this flame ball developed by Dewen Company combined with the latest technology is a special Poké Ball that can provide growth value to fire-type Pokémon. As long as your fire-attribute Pokémon are included in this Poké Ball, then they will continue to grow in the Poké Ball, and they no longer need to go through a complicated process of upgrading and fighting monsters, which is an absolute growth weapon! ”
Flame balls? Sure enough, it's a new Poké Ball! It's just that this Poké Ball sounds weird, a bit like a cheating artifact! As long as you put the fire spirit into the Poké Ball, you can get a boost, which is too exaggerated, right? After that, will there be a Poké Ball of this kind for each attribute, and then everyone will not have to upgrade and grow the Pokémon through combat? If that's the case, what's the point of Pokémon battles?
After listening to Dewen's description of limited-time products, Wang Hao's mind was full of doubts, but because Dewen has been engaged in research on new Poké Balls, it seems reasonable for such a product to appear. The Flame Ball is a brand new item, the same as the "Unknown Move Learning Machine" that appeared in Kena City before, but in terms of function, it is not as useful as the "Unknown Move Learning Machine" for Wang Hao and them.
Competing with so many players for a purchase opportunity for a useless item? This was obviously not what Wang Hao and Xiao Wei wanted to do, so the two of them didn't think too much about it, and immediately returned to the Pokémon Center in Kanaz City, avoiding the rush to buy.
"This flame ball sounds like a cow, but when you think about it, you always feel that something is wrong! For a long time, the games of the Pokémon series have been based on Pokémon duels to make Pokémon improve and grow, and now the sudden launch of this thing that can improve the strength of Pokémon without passing a duel is a bit suspicious of peddling plug-ins? ”
After returning to the lounge of the Pokémon Center, Williams expressed his doubts to Wang Hao. Seeing that Xiao Wei had the same doubts about the flame ball launched by Dewen Company this time, Wang Hao couldn't help but think about this problem deeply.
"For a long time, the various series of Pokémon games have been advocating one thing, that is, the mutual growth and coexistence between humans and Pokémon. The Pokémon World, which was created in combination with virtual stealth technology, has done this to a large extent, and now it is a bit unreasonable to suddenly appear such a prop that can promote the growth of Pokémon just by including Pokémon in it! However, we can't deny that among players, such a simple way of raising is more popular. Just imagine how many duels and how many grinds we need to go through in order to train a powerful Pokémon, and all of these can be easily done because of these kinds of items. In a way, it's a lot more convenient! ”
"If it weren't for the fact that this sale is a flame ball, we could have bought one and seen how it went! You just saw the looks on the faces of those players after listening to the explanation! One by one, it's like seeing a plug-in artifact, I'm afraid I'm going to break my head! The vast majority of players will cultivate at least one fire-type Pokémon! With the improvement of this flame ball, maybe it will be much more difficult for us to face fire-type Pokémon in the future! Think about it, do you think it's big? ”
Indeed, if the effect of the Flame Ball is really as stated by Dewen, then it will inevitably cause a large number of players to train fire-attribute Pokémon, and I am afraid that the balance between Pokémon will be affected to a certain extent! It's just that there is no accurate information about the specific situation and effect of the flame ball at present, so let's wait for a while!
In this matter, Wang Hao and Xiao Wei didn't have many ideas, although they still had some doubts about the appearance of the flame ball, but it didn't have much to do with them after all. The two of them rested overnight at the Pokémon Center in Kanaz City before leaving at noon the next day.
When they walked out of the Pokémon Center, they found that the headquarters building of Devon Company was once again full of people. It's just that this time is completely different from last night, and the mouths of those people who are surrounding the headquarters building of Dewen Company are full of swearing voices and ugly swear words, as if they have been greatly deceived.
Why did the painting style of the headquarters building of Dewen Company change overnight? When Wang Hao was wondering what the hell was going on with Dewen, Serena Williams had already logged into the player chat channel in the Hoenn region to collect information.
"Sure enough, there's something wrong with that ball of flames! Most players who snapped up the Flame Ball last night reported that they locked up the Fire-type Pokémon after they added it to the Flame Ball. Not only did the buttons on the Poké Ball fail, but even the Pokémon in it completely lost contact, and the system panel could not see the specific situation of the Pokémon in the Flame Ball. These guys gathered here all came to Dewen Company to ask for a solution, but it seems that the people from Dewen Company took a blind attitude towards this matter and did not give a reasonable explanation! Players feel as if they have been cheated by Devan, and now someone has launched an attack on the Devan headquarters building on the chat channel! If Dewen Company doesn't come out to give an explanation and a way to deal with it, then I'm afraid it's going to be a battle! ”
Poké Ball button doesn't work? Can't even view the Pokémon in the Flame Ball from the system panel? When Dewen Company launched the flame ball, Wang Hao felt a little strange, there was such a serious accident now, and there was no timely treatment and explanation after the accident, this does not look like the style of a large company! What's going on in this Dewen headquarters?
"Serena Williams! It stands to reason that as a large-scale props production company, they must have absolute control over the props they produce, how can they let the problematic goods flow into the market? What's even more strange is that as a large company, not only did it not show up in time to provide a solution after the accident, but it also took a blind approach. This is even stranger! I always feel like something is going on in this Dewen company? ”
"I know what you're saying! It is true that there are many unreasonable aspects in the performance of Dewen Company, but after all, this is also an internal matter of the company's own company, so let's take a look at the excitement! Don't you still want to take care of this? How? ”
Truly! The problems between other people's companies must be solved by themselves, Wang Hao and Xiao Wei were not directly affected by the incident of Dewen Company this time, so they just want to be a melon eater. Just as the two of them were about to ignore the incident, a loud roar came from behind them.
After hearing the voice, Wang Hao and Xiao Wei both subconsciously looked behind them, and almost at the same time found a large crater caused by the explosion, fragments of Poké Balls that were torn apart, and a Pokémon with a blackened body that could not distinguish its specific appearance was lying in the center of the pit. Next to the crater were several stunned players who had been blown away by the blast, one of whom was holding a large iron rod in his hand.
"What good things have you done? How do you blow up a Pokémon like this? That Pokémon can't have been blown up, right? ”
Williams roared angrily at the group of players next to the pit as he ran towards the Pokémon Center. Wang Hao knew that Xiao Wei was going to ask Miss Joy to check on the situation of the Pokémon that was injured, but through the power of the waveguide, he already knew that even if he invited Miss Joy now, it would be meaningless. The injured Pokémon didn't have a trace of a waveguide on it, a situation he had only experienced when Menas was killed by Mewtwo.
Wang Hao, who had experienced this feeling again, suddenly became extremely angry, and his bloodshot eyes glared fiercely at the player holding the big iron rod in his hand, as if he was going to kill the other party with his eyes every minute. The player was stared at by Wang Hao's eyes, and immediately panicked, and his whole body was completely paralyzed, and the big iron rod in his hand also slipped down.
"It's nothing to do with me! I really don't know what's going on! It's all Dewen's fault! If it weren't for the fact that the Flame Ball they were selling didn't have a button and the Poké Ball locked, I wouldn't have thought of a way to release the Pokémon in it by smashing the Poké Ball! And I really just hit it with an iron rod just now, and I didn't expect it to blow up like this! How did my stupid fire camel become like this? How so? ”
