"Five plants for 100,000 Alliance Coins?"
The bald boss was dumbfounded.
He cursed inwardly.
What's the difference between this and robbery?
He had initially used his connections and spent a lot of money to acquire these five fairly good-looking imitation herbs, but he ended up ruining them.
"You're the one who told me to make a bid."
Bai Hong's tone was unusually calm.
She was wearing a mask.
There was no apparent change in his emotions.
Even if the bald boss tries his best, he can't observe micro-expressions, let alone engage in psychological warfare with him.
Before the deal on the fin fossil was finalized, an even bigger problem arose: whether to sell or not. He was caught in a dilemma.
Seeing that the other person was struggling with the decision.
Bai Hong turned around.
We continued exploring with Daigo.
During this time, I purchased some common turnip seeds, which are the easiest spring crop to grow. Although it is now summer, they should be fine to plant in the Secret Realm, where the climate is very stable.
The bald boss was like a tagalong, and a particularly conflicted one at that, debating whether or not to sell to Bai Hong.
Aren't you going to buy anything?
"I don't need to buy anything."
"Then let's go back."
"But he kept following us."
Bai Hong and Daigo have already explored most of the area. Next time they come here, they will probably choose to come at night, because there are very few vendors during the day.
They were wearing black cloaks and were unbearably hot, but thankfully they were in the basement of the mall, where a cool breeze would occasionally blow in, though their backs were still soaked with sweat.
"In the end what you want?"
"Let's discuss it."
"Sorry, there's no room for negotiation. Everything you're selling has problems." Bai Hong would not back down an inch.
Whether it's the Alien Walking Grass, the Fin Fossil, or the five Imitation Herbs that aren't quite dead yet, they might not even sell at a bargain price, let alone try to swindle some money from him to make a quick comeback.
"Alright, here you go!"
The bald boss's heart is bleeding.
Her smile is uglier than her crying.
"Don't think like that. Look on the bright side. At least it won't be a complete loss. Take me to dig up some imitation herbs." After paying, Bai Hong carefully put the fin fossil into his backpack.
"I'm the one who got ripped off."
The bald boss sullenly mocked himself.
But what can be done? If he were truly capable, he wouldn't have ended up like this. He tried to grow and imitate herbs like others, but in the end, he didn't earn a single penny and instead lost a lot of his savings.
Following the bald boss, Bai Hong used a shovel to dig and pot up all five imitation herbs that were not yet completely dead, then took them away.
Daigo also wants to help.
Unfortunately, he was rejected.
They said you can't cut the roots.
Half an hour later, Bai Hong dug them all out. Judging from the way they mimicked the appearance of vanilla, the probability of them surviving was extremely low, but no matter what, he had to take them back and try.
On the way back to the city, Daigo kept glancing at Bai Hong, because he was really curious about why Bai Hong wanted to buy these things, and his bargaining skills were truly admirable.
“No one’s here!”
Bai Hong pulled off his black mask.
He wiped the sweat from his brow with the back of his hand.
Then unbutton the black cloak.
"Are you hungry? I'll treat you to a meal." Daigo took out his phone and checked the time; it was four in the afternoon.
"No, I have to go back. We can have dinner another time." Bai Hong was carrying five imitation herbs, which was quite inconvenient.
"We haven't exchanged contact information yet."
Daigo paused for a moment.
They chased after him in a great hurry.
I couldn't get his contact information during the Eight Masters elimination round, but I finally got it now. He's rarely in a hurry, which shows how much he wants to be friends with Bai Hong.
Bai Hong returned to Hongyun Store.
The first thing I did upon entering was look for the electric dragon.
And those four electric umbrella lizards.
"They're behind."
Yongxin was busy greeting customers.
Business has been getting better and better lately.
"I am leaving."
"Aren't you going to stay the night?"
"Maybe next time, I have other things to do."
After leaving the Lucky Shop, Bai Hong found a quiet spot, pressed the button to release the Fire Dragon, and then rode on it.
roar~
The fire-breathing dragon faces the setting sun.
It flapped its wings and took flight.
They flew towards the sandalwood forest.
This trip was quite fruitful. I participated in the Lunar New Year Cup and obtained the Electro Dragon Mega Stone. The winning prize was only 200,000 Alliance Coins, but the Alliance side made up the previous 800,000 Alliance Coins.
I also bought six Alien Walker Grasses, a Fin Fossil, Turnip Seeds, six Resurrection Grasses, and five Imitation Herbs that weren't quite dead on the black market. I'm going to be busy tonight.
When we returned to the Sandalwood Forest.
It was completely dark.
"what happened?"
Bai Hong noticed footprints nearby.
Judging from the patterns, it wasn't him or Yongxin. Could it have been a trainer who happened to be passing by? Based on the direction of the footprints, it can be roughly deduced that they escaped from the white mist not long after entering it.
It can only be said that the judgment was absolutely correct. If one had noticed something was wrong when entering the white fog, they could have gotten out.
If not.
Then you will be trapped inside.
"Swamp Monster, time to get to work."
Bai Hong released the giant swamp monster, which was also used to remove the tire tracks left by the appliance delivery truck and the timber delivery truck.
The first thing to do upon returning to the secret realm was to release the six alien walking grasses. They had been locked in the iron cage for too long, and their expressions were dull and lifeless. As soon as they came out, they huddled together.
Honey~
Xiao Feng and Xiaomi walked over.
Greet them in a friendly manner.
Ah ~
These walking grasses did not respond.
He raised his head in a daze.
They were as stiff as robots.
"A newly caught Pokémon?"
Jirachi flew over leisurely.
Ask using telepathy.
"I didn't capture them; I bought them from the black market." Bai Hong said as he used the Rejuvenation Wind on the Oddish to see if he could restore them to their original state, because he suddenly remembered what the bald boss had said: these Oddish would go berserk at night.
Do~
Healed by the winds of recovery.
The condition of the walking grass has improved somewhat.
They huddled together, staring at Bai Hong with frightened little eyes, as if they were about to let out a terrifying scream at any moment.
Trainers who know Oddish know that if you forcibly pull an Oddish out of the soil, it will scream.
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. If you don't believe me, you can ask Xiaofeng and Xiaomi. This is Dragon Valley Ranch," Bai Hong said in a calm and gentle tone.
Hopefully they can understand.
Walking grass that grows in the Dragon's Graveyard.
They had never been in contact with humans before.
After being captured, they might develop a strong hostility towards humans, so we can only ask Xiao Feng and Xiaomi to ease the tension.
Jirachi's head popped up with a question mark, as if to say, "Why did you bring them back? Isn't Dragon Valley Ranch supposed to raise Dragon-type Pokémon? Oddish isn't a Dragon-type Pokémon, is it?"
"These walking grasses are no ordinary plants. I need their power. They bury themselves in the soil. If I carry crops with me as props, it might make the crops grow better."
This is his idea: to use the habits of walking grass to grow resurrection grass, turnip seeds, and mimic herbs, so that he can start a planting program in Dragon Valley Ranch in the future.
