章節 78: Chapter 78: Uncle Henry
At 5 o'clock in the evening, all the games had ended today, and 30 of the 60 people would advance to the next round.
This time, the method of drawing lots was automatically selected by the computer, so there was no need for people to go there, and a text message would be sent directly to the players' mobile phones.
However, at eight o'clock, many people still went to the bottom of the big screen, which already showed the rivals they would be fighting tomorrow, as well as the battlefield and the time of the matches.
Among the five in Julian's group, except for Shen, who was eliminated by Julian and missed the second round, the other three successfully advanced to the next round.
The 30 people were divided into 15 groups to fight in pairs.
Julian, who was staying in the hotel, had already received the competition venue information, and his first match was scheduled for 8 o'clock in the morning.
The text message didn't specify who his rival was. If Julian wanted to know, he could go to the conference's official website to check it out. There, he would find information about each player, including the Pokémon who had already competed, and even videos of the battles.
Anyway, collecting information about the competition before the battles was normal, and some conferences directly published basic information about the players on the Internet, saving players time on their research.
Julian was very confident in his own strength, even a bit conceited. He didn't care who his rival was at all; he opened the Drakorian Trainer Association app on his mobile phone and entered the trading section.
The Drakorian Trainer Association app is a must-install app for every trainer. Even if you are no longer a trainer, as long as you have Pokémon at home, you will still have this app installed.
Daily active users range between four and five billion.
Julian checked the trading section of this app almost every day to see if there were any good items for sale.
This trading section covers all aspects of Pokémon.
There are Pokémon items, berries, Poké Balls, evolution stones, as well as various Pokémon eggs and Pokémon themselves--even pseudo-Elite level Pokémon can be bought here.
Some time ago, there were people who sold a Mega Evolution stone through auctions. In the end, the Mega Evolution stone was sold for 600 million without specifying which Pokémon it was for.
As for whether you will get fakes, there was no need to worry.
Anything purchased on the trading board would first be sent to an appraisal agency, where the agency would confirm that there was no problem with the item, and then it would be sent to the buyer. After that, the money would be sent to the seller's account.
Julian didn't need the Mega Evolution stone; this item could be purchased in the system, where the quality was much better than what was available outside, although the points required were a bit more expensive.
"Oh, a Shellder with cyan qualifications"
In the Pokémon trading area, Julian's thumb swiping on his phone suddenly stopped.
He wasn't really interested in Shellder, but he had the King's Rock he bought last time on the black market.
Shellder + King's Rock + Slowpoke = Slowking.
Slowking was still in the undiscovered category. Once Julian announced another form of Slowpoke, he would receive generous rewards from the Drakorian Trainer Association.
Slowking itself was a relatively powerful Water-type and Psychic-type Pokémon, and its IQ was also very high.
If another evolutionary form of Slowpoke--Slowking, was to be announced, Julian would definitely do it himself. He had no intention of giving such a discovery to anyone else.
Therefore, in terms of qualifications, it was necessary to start with at least cyan qualifications.
Both Slowbro and Slowking needed Shellder to evolve, so the aptitude of the two Pokémon would affect the aptitude after evolution.
If you have a yellow qualified Shellder and a cyan qualified Slowpoke, then whether you evolve into Slowbro or Slowking, your final talent result should be green.
In fusion evolution, aptitude is a combination of both Pokémon's qualifications, rather than taking the highest or lowest qualification among them.
Cyan-qualified Shellder were occasionally sold on the market, but if you truly wanted to buy one, you wouldn't be able to do so easily.
Now that a Shellder with cyan qualifications was placed in front of him, Julian really had no reason not to buy it.
"However—"
Looking at the price, which had already exceeded 200 million, and was still increasing, Julian felt a pang of worry.
Julian only had less than 10 million in liquid funds.
He could call home for more, but based on the trend, the Shellder could easily exceed 300 million before the auction ended. Even if his family had the money, it wouldn't be possible to get that much cash in time.
So, Julian closed the app page, opened his contacts, found the entry for "Uncle," and called.
After the phone rang twice, it was quickly connected.
"Little Lia, is something wrong? Do you need money?"
On the other end of the phone, a middle-aged man in a neat suit was sitting in a conference room. He made a silent gesture to his subordinates and spoke in a soft tone.
The subordinates, seeing the chairman who had always been unsmiling, were shocked to hear his tone so gentle.
Upon hearing the name Little Lia, some of them had a sudden realization.
The young, beautiful, and attractive female secretary next to him even looked at the chairman with a mix of emotions.
This title gave Julian a strong sense of discomfort.
"Uncle, don't call me little Lian! Call me Julian, or anything else, but not that!" Julian replied, exasperated. The nickname sounded that of a girls, and it annoyed him every time.
"Alright, alright. What's up why are you calling uncle today? Shouldn't you be resting for tomorrow's match?" his uncle asked.
It turned out that the chairman's nephew had called. Hearing the chairman self-identifying as "uncle," his subordinates understood who was calling, and some people who were thinking inappropriately severely despised their own dirty minds.
The female secretary felt she could take action again.
"I need to buy a Pokémon," Julian replied, cutting straight to the point. "It'll probably cost more than 300 million. Can you help?"
"A Pokémon for 300 million? Sure, I'll transfer the money. Just make sure to bring home that championship."
"Don't worry," Julian said confidently. "There isn't a single person in this high school league who can beat me. I'll get that trophy, and give it to you."
The call ended quickly.
Julian's uncle immediately instructed his secretary to transfer 500 million into his nephew's account.
Before long, Julian, who was scrolling through his phone, saw a bank text message indicating that 500 million had arrived.
"Thanks, Uncle Henry" Julian muttered as he reopened the Drakorian Trainer Association app, ready to bid for the Shellder.
