Pokémon: Hoenen Rage

Chapter 227 Raw Stone (15)

"Good guys, is this your valuable cargo?"

Walking in the huge warehouse on the ground floor, looking at the sealed large stones, Lai gently held his forehead and sighed.

Every stone exudes faint energy fluctuations. It is obvious that there are either resources or gems inside, but it is not certain whether there are more or less, good or bad.

"That's right, this is our precious cargo!" Joyce seemed very proud of his cargo when talking about it. "After it is mined in Carlos, it will be shipped directly. We will go to Kaina City to digest some of it first and add some. After batching other goods, go to Kanto and Golden City, many rich people like to play this."

"Okay." Lai Momo hid a series of complaints in his heart. Naturally, selling rough stones is sure to make a profit, but buying rough stones means losing more and winning less.Na Qi, who was walking aside, simply showed a disgusted expression.

"If you are willing to participate in the next mission on behalf of our Emperor Penguin, no matter what the outcome is, the market price of the rough stone here is 200 million alliance coins. I will give you one piece each. You can choose whatever you want. No matter how many things are offered, you can all How about just taking it away?" Joyce waved his hand, showing his pride in every move.

"With all due respect, the trophies and rewards given by the alliance are probably not enough to cover the cost of your missed work, right? What makes you so motivated to compete for this top spot?" Lai, who is well versed in the principle that pie in the sky will not fall, and Instead of being carried away by the other party's offer, he asked a key question.

Joyce did not hide anything and admitted openly: "Yes, the trophies and rewards are just superficial. What we are competing for is the franchise rights. This is not a secret. If you don't happen to come over, we will also invite boxers." The gym takes action.”

Naqi squeezed Lai's hand gently, took a step forward, and said softly: "In this case, we can agree."

Joyce glanced at Lai, who nodded: "Naki means what I mean."

"That's great, I wish us a happy cooperation!" Joyce clapped his hands, his face glowing red, "Would you like to pick the stone now or later?"

"It's better to choose a day than to hit it. Let's do it now. Anyway, it depends on luck and fate."

"Okay, I'll wait outside. Just call me if you choose. If you have any questions, you can always ask the sailors and service staff, they are all here."

Joyce took off his hat, nodded, and retreated to the periphery of the warehouse to rest.

"You don't like driving this anymore, do you?" Naqi pulled Lai's sleeve and asked softly.

Lai burst into laughter: "How is that possible? I'm very familiar with the internal logic of this thing. Anyone who plays this, except for asking, will lose after playing for a long time."

"That's good, let's just pick two pieces?" Naqi breathed a sigh of relief.

"No, wait a minute, I have an idea that I plan to try." The power of the heart spread, and Lai found that he could vaguely sense it, "Maybe I can really make a small fortune."

He walked up to a boulder, put his hands on it lightly, and the power of his heart slowly penetrated into it.

The inner feeling is very hazy, and the surrounding rough stones also emit energy fluctuations, interfering with the judgment of the power of the heart.

Letting go of his hand, Lai turned his head and whispered to Naqi: "It's a little useful, but not too big. It can barely judge the strength of the energy."

For the next hour, the two of them pretended to be casual and walked over one by one. They checked the stones with more energy felt by the power of the heart one by one and shortlisted several alternatives, but there was no particularly outstanding rough stone.

Seeing that only the last few pieces were left in front of him, Lai simply checked them one by one regardless of their strength.

As a result, I found a little unexpected joy in a stone with not outstanding energy.

"Captain Joyce, we've chosen!"

Loudly greeting Joyce who was far away, he stood up suddenly as he was already feeling sleepy.

“Finally picked”

Muttering softly, he moved his body and came forward. "No. 15 in the third row, and this one."

Lai quickly decided on the stone to choose. One stone clearly felt a lot of energy, and the other one had an indescribable strange feeling in front of him.

Joyce was not hesitant, and asked the sailors to send out powerful forces to carry out the big rocks, and use equipment on site to start cutting and breaking them.

As the machine went deeper, the outer layer of the first stone gradually turned into debris, and the attribute gems were exposed one by one. The sailors skillfully sorted them and prepared them for polishing.

"You're lucky, Mr. Lai. You've already made money on these attribute gems. Do you want to continue driving?" Joyce's tone was unconcerned. For sellers like them, as long as they sell it, they can start driving. It doesn't matter if you drive more or less. If a good stone appears, it will be an advertisement for him.

"I'll do the rest myself. I understand the principle. Swampert, the power of the earth, be more precise."

White light flashed, and the giant marsh monster appeared next to the boulder that had been more than half removed.

Gently pressing up with both palms, the earthy yellow energy began to surge, and the outer stone quickly cracked and decomposed. The process was very slow, and the direction changed from time to time.

After about 5 minutes, the stone was broken into more than a dozen pieces, and there was a gem or ore in each crack.

After calling the sailors to come forward and take it out, Joyce could no longer keep calm: "This is really a great harvest, worth tens of millions at least."

"It was a stroke of luck, thanks to the good luck Captain Joyce lent me."

"Hahaha! I should be happy with you! Then let's move on to the next one?"

"No problem, Swamp Monster, just take the medicine as prescribed."

Compared with the machine, the power of the earth is much quieter and faster. In addition, the second stone itself is smaller. Within 10 minutes, it has followed the same path as the first stone. , turned into pieces on the ground.

This time, there were not many gems inside. Four or five fire gems of average quality could only barely recoup the original cost. Compared with the first time, which contained more than a dozen high-quality dragon gems and a few rough ores of unknown use. , obviously not the same.

Joyce stepped forward and comforted: "Stones are just like that, some are more and some are less. It's your first time to play and you've already made a lot of money. It's better to accept it when it's good."

For a strong man like Lai who still needs to rely on, he doesn't want the other party to have any unpleasantness because of opening the stone, especially when he knows that the other party's female partner hates this kind of behavior.

"Of course, I'm very satisfied. Thank you Captain Joyce. Let me take the fragments of the second stone back and keep them as a souvenir." Lai pretended to nod heavily and commanded the Swampert to get on. Collect the stone fragments before moving forward.

"Of course it's no problem. Anyway, if you leave it to us, you'll throw it away in the end. After polishing it, I'll send it to you in the evening." Joyce agreed readily without thinking too much, and then sent it to you who already wanted to go. The two left.

Along the way, Len didn't say a word and seemed to be in a bad mood. Joyce didn't say much either. After seeing the two of them to the guest room, he left first.As a captain, he has a lot of work to do every day. It is not easy to spare half a day to accompany the two of them.

······
"Tell me, what is it that makes you act so hard?"

Naqi, who was well aware of Lai's every move, could tell that he was deliberately hiding something from the first moment. After confirming that there was no one else, she immediately asked.

Lai mysteriously took out an ordinary stone fragment from the bog monster's arms.

"It's here."
