Chapter 78
When it came to the tenth lot, Su Hao discovered that this auction was not just selling Pokémon-related items, but also some jewelry and gold ornaments.
For example, the ninth lot was a pink diamond.
The color of the pink diamond was bright and vivid, as if it could illuminate the entire space. Through its surface, one could see the subtle white connotation and delicate and exquisite cutting. Every angle showed its perfect curves and shining light. As soon as this diamond appeared, the eyes of the ladies in the front row of the special VIP seats were glued to this item and refused to move.
The starting price of this pink diamond was as high as one million Shenzhou coins.
What is the concept of one million Shenzhou coins, and what is the purchasing power?
One hundred boxes of intermediate energy cubes, ten ordinary quality Pokémon props, and double that is the starting price of a quasi-god Pokémon egg.
This is just a useless stone that only looks good.
It was such a beautiful diamond that the ladies bid up to three million Shenzhou coins before it was sold.
No matter���In which world are there women pursuing beautiful things?......
Su Hao sighed and suddenly remembered that after the small diamond mutated into Diancie, he could make pink diamonds. Although he had to wait until Diancie completed Mega Evolution to make sacred diamonds with special energy.
But he could also make pink diamonds without any energy storage during the Diancie period.
Su Hao could just lie down and relax after Diancie made dozens of pink diamonds. Could it be possible that he would be kept by Diancie?
"The tenth lot is a limited-edition product on the market, and it is a whole jar of ointment carefully prepared by Mr. Wang Jingze, a senior breeder.
The auctioneer's voice, slightly increased in decibels, woke Su Hao from his wild thoughts.
"This ointment is a patented product officially certified by the Shenzhou Alliance. It can increase the hardness and defense of steel-type Pokémon. It can also be applied to the attacking parts and weapons of Pokémon to increase the power of steel-type physical moves. The effect is very significant."
"The starting price is 300,000 Shenzhou coins, and each bid increase must not be less than 1,000 Shenzhou coins!"
"Three hundred thousand one hundred Shenzhou coins"
"Three hundred and ten thousand Shenzhou coins!"
"Steel-type moves to increase physical strength......"
Su Hao lowered his head slightly in thought.
He had thought of a technique to make the effect of enhanced moves stay on the Pokémon permanently.
But it is easier said than done.
These moves often require time to be released in battle, and then the bonus will disappear after a certain period of time.
The same is true for the Iron Wall move released by Diamondback.
Among the three Pokémon, Diamondback has the strongest understanding and talent. Perhaps he can find the key point of this technique from Diamondback's Iron Wall move.
Diamondback and Diancie are essentially made of ore and diamond. The steel energy contained in this ointment should be able to improve Diamondback's mastery of the Iron Wall move.
Only by improving the mastery level can there be a chance to turn ideas into reality
""I've decided, I'll buy this bottle of ointment!"
Su Hao made up his mind and prepared to raise the number plate beside him to join the auction.
The current auction price has reached 700,000 Shenzhou coins. The excellent resistance of steel-type Pokémon means that many trainers will more or less capture a steel-type Pokémon, so this ointment can be said to be a rare commodity in short supply on the market.
After reaching the high price of 700,000 Alliance coins, there are only seven or eight bidders left in the front who are still competing with each other.
Since this bottle of ointment is not included in the catalog of some of the products released at this auction, otherwise Su Hao can guarantee that the steel-type Pokémon specialist trainers who heard the news will fill the entire venue.
"710,000 Shenzhou coins!"Raising the number 1145 sign, Su Hao said
"VIP No. 1145 is bidding 710,000 Shenzhou coins. Is there anyone else who wants to bid?"The host said in an elegant voice.
"720,000 Shenzhou coins"
"750,000 Shenzhou coins."
This group of people is really persistent. They raised the price by another 40,000 Shenzhou coins in just two sentences. Su Hao gritted his teeth. Now it has exceeded the original official price of 500,000 Shenzhou coins.
This is the disadvantage of the auction model. Out-of-stock or scarce goods can often be sold at double the price.
Even though there are few bidders, the bidding this time is obviously much more intense. Su Hao just quoted the number of 800,000 Shenzhou coins again, and another person immediately quoted 810,000 Shenzhou coins to top it.
However, after a while, the price was about to soar to 900,000 Shenzhou coins. Four or five people withdrew from the competition. Now only Su Hao and two other middle-aged men in suits are left bidding.
"900,000 Shenzhou coins."
As the price officially reached 900,000 Shenzhou coins, only Su Hao and the man in a suit in the VIP seat in front were left to compete. This man should be a steel-type trainer, or his junior. It would be too worthless to continue arguing at this point. Su Hao closed his eyes and slowly uttered the bottom line of the price in his mind.
"1 million Shenzhou coins......"......
The middle-aged man did not make any further offer.
"VIP No. 1145 bids 1 million Shenzhou coins once, 1 million Shenzhou coins twice, and 1 million Shenzhou coins three times"
"Deal!"
With the sound of the hammer hitting the wall, Su Hao spent double the price to buy this bottle of steel ointment.
It was just a double premium. After all, this ointment is basically not available on the market, so it's not a loss (vomiting blood)......
Su Hao could only comfort himself in this way. It was true that being a trainer was very expensive.
Before the elite level, most Pokémon did not need or could not absorb expensive resources. This would only force the growth of the seedlings. Therefore, even geniuses with strong backgrounds would not surpass the trainers of the same period by much at this stage.
Except for Su Hao.
After the elite level, it was like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing their magical powers.
Resources plus family and family-exclusive training techniques and plans can speed up their progress.
The reason why most universities in the Shenzhou Alliance set the graduation requirement as one or more intermediate badges is that as long as you perform normally in the university's combat major and have good talent, it is not a problem to cultivate a professional-level Pokémon within four years with the resources and rewards of the school.
But more than that depends on talent and financial resources.
The professional level is also the watershed that distinguishes amateur trainers from those who regard this as a lifelong career.
Only by cultivating six professional-level Pokémon, even if you cultivate professional-level Pokémon with specialized techniques, can you obtain the certification of the alliance and become a professional-level trainer.
All those before this are classified as amateur trainers, and the number of Pokémon you hold cannot exceed six.
Only after becoming a professional trainer will the alliance allow you to increase the number of possessions, whether it is the Shenzhou Alliance or the foreign alliance.
