Chapter 11: Monetary Value
Next.
Cheng Hong came over.
The young man had only some injuries and contusions, and after a day of recuperation, he entered the door to find Kashiwagi playing with Cocodora to throw and catch Poké Balls.
"Huh? Is the relationship so good? He was a little surprised, he had seen Cocodora's resistance to the Poké Balls earlier.
Kashiwagi didn't respond, silently watching Cheng Hong triumphantly open a poke ball.
In white light.
Pokémon landing.
It was a strange creature with a black rock ball with a pale yellow hexagonal hole in the center, a slender rock block on its head, and stone legs.
When this guy came to a strange place, he seemed to be a little panicked and trembling.
"Stone Maruko—it's a good fit for you."
"Yes, it's very well-behaved!"
Cheng Hong picked it up with a smile and said, "Speaking of Kashiwagi, when are you going to pick Pokémon?" Any slower, the best ones have been picked. ”
"Don't pick, I choose to cash."
Kashiwagi shook his head.
Now that Coco Dora has become a partner, it is necessary to help him get out of his malnutrition state, and it is necessary for him to get used to raising Pokémon himself.
Real cultivation of Pokémon is very different from the game, you will understand how troublesome it is if you have a pet, and it is even more difficult to train to become combat power.
Many half-baked people in the quicksand team can't cultivate Pokémon, often choose to replace the individuals in their hands, and never cultivate them seriously. is often like buying magic weapons in immortal cultivation novels, constantly replacing new ones.
This phenomenon is even popular throughout Yellow Iron Town and even in the Ouray region, so those Pokémon that are very powerful when caught are always very expensive.
Some Pokémon, which are rare but not very strong in the eyes of trainers in other regions, are not so popular, and not many people buy them with high prices.
"Discounted...... Also, you have Cocodora. ”
Cheng Hong nodded and said something about his colleagues.
The three people they rescued were seriously injured and could lie down for ten days and half a month, while only one of the other people who failed to join them on the first day passed the assessment.
It's a pity that after coming out, it's almost like a waste, and I'm lying down to recuperate.
Six people passed on the first day.
It's undoubtedly a huge boost to their small group.
"It would be nice if it went so well in the next few days."
Cheng Hong sighed.
"Hmm."
Kashiwagi nodded, looking at Coco Dora, who was in contact with Ishimaruko, casually playing with the Poké Ball in his hand.
Last night, the two sides complained to each other, although the progress was slow due to the language barrier, but it also made each other a lot closer. Unfortunately, when it came to the goal, Cocodora didn't give him an answer.
Or was it given, and he didn't understand it...... I hope we can get an answer in the future.
In the blink of an eye.
The four-day assessment passed.
Except for a few accidents on the first day, the following days became unusually smooth, and more people passed.
Kashiwagi's small group also participated in the follow-up and completed the assessment, and Shibata was not very clear.
In the end, nearly 100 people stood out and reached the threshold of full membership, accounting for a quarter of the total participants. At first glance, there seem to be a lot, but in fact, there are many people who have participated in the assessment many times and finally passed the test.
As a result, Yugo, as the current agent, was not satisfied with such an outcome.
The Quicksand Brigade's subordinates, that is, the official members, have a total of more than 1,200 people, and they are like a drop in the ocean in this Huangtie Town with a population of nearly 500,000, and if they can't absorb enough new blood, they will always be a second-rate force.
It will never be able to develop better.
However, this anxiety did not affect those who passed through with joy, and for many the full membership was tantamount to a step to the sky, a sign that the days of toil were gone.
They should be happy.
——
On the day of discharge.
Kashiwagi was packing up with Coco Dora when there was a knock on the door behind him.
"You're Kashiwagi?"
The person who came met his gaze and looked at himself, "You have a good physique, you are qualified, I will report to the sand group tomorrow, and if you count your colleagues, I will be present if I can come." ”
After that, he didn't give Kashiwagi a chance to reply, and immediately turned around and left.
“…… It's okay. ”
He shook his head at the bewildered Cocodora.
There are also many factions within the quicksand team, and in terms of the combat section alone, in addition to the boss at the top, below are the three groups of sand, crystal, and stone led by the three top cadres.
Among them, the highest cadre in charge of the sand group is a giant man of more than two meters, who is called bold by the outside world, does things aggressively, and hates dragging mud and water. He cares for his subordinates and is a good leader.
I hope the rumors are true.
Kashiwagi understands that he has no choice, and that only the Quicksand Team can work alone like Kojiro Musashi, but the Secret Service Team is not cultivated internally since childhood.
The other party took the initiative to come to the door is already sincere.
Pack your things.
Kashiwagi left the hospital with Coco Dora and went directly to the quicksand team building to register his identity and receive the relevant items of the official members.
The clerk who assisted looked at Coco Dora with some surprise, he rarely saw a minions who had Pokémon before they received it.
After all, most people who can get it directly can't look down on it.
"Please help me exchange my Pokémon's rewards for financial subsidies, I think I can exchange them, right?"
"Huh? Yes! OK! ”
Kashiwagi's words made the clerk snap back to his senses and nodded hurriedly.
After some operation.
The former received 100,000 yuan and left with Coco Dora satisfied.
The Pokémon that the quicksand team provides to new members usually only have stone balls and small fist stones, and occasionally Ubo, Pangolin and the like will appear, and although the types are different, the price is basically the same.
It is worth mentioning that the Poké Dollar currency used in the Ouray region is worth about the Japanese yen, i.e. Poké Balls cost 200 per unit and Soda 300 per unit.
Most of the prices are normal, but Pokémon are worth far more than other regions due to the need to import them—especially in the area of Huangtie Town, where the seaside Violet Harbor and the largest city, Silicon City, are slightly lower.
"Our food expenses have increased again~"
Kashiwagi smiled and waved the bill at Cocodora.
"Goo!"
Coco Dora tilted her head and responded happily.
Copper Mill Street.
There are apartments assigned by the quicksand team, three-and-a-half-story concrete high-rises, the façade is large and weathered and dark gray cement color, there is no greenery in sight, and the road is in tatters.
But the infrastructure, such as water pipes, sewers, and electrical systems, is far better than the prefabricated houses on Iridium Street.
I think I can afford to toss even more, after all, I have to bear the weight of Pokémon.
Kashiwagi likes it very much, and it has nothing to do with the facilities, just because you can see all kinds of Pokémon playing around.
There were only people near his previous residence, and he couldn't figure out many times whether he had come to the Pokémon world or not.
"Kashiwagi! Going out together at night? Everyone wants to thank you and celebrate. ”
Cheng Hong, who was carrying a large bag and a small bag, said with a smile.
"Okay, remember to tell me the location."
Kashiwagi nodded, not to mention that the subordinates of the quicksand team are only higher and lower, even if they are the highest cadres, it is very important to hold a group.
But it's human...... He couldn't cope with that.
I don't know if it's deliberately arranged, the places they are assigned to are quite close, like Cheng Hong is next door next door, and the rest can't waste a few feet.
Was it arranged by the man during the day?
I don't know if I can get detailed information about Ishigaki from him, specific family environment, friends, backstage, Pokémon and the like.
"Let's start packing up our new home!"
"Goo!"
