Golden Hill has always been a city that values culture and education, and the same is true even in the age of Pokémon.
There are a large number of universities and colleges offering Pokémon-related majors, among which Southern River University is a well-known institution nationwide.
Inside Southern River University.
Fang Yuan was walking towards the School Gate. Ahead of him was a young woman in her twenties wearing casual clothes.
"Sister Siyu, thank you for today."
"You're welcome."
Fang Yuan expressed his thanks.
Wen Siyu is a student of Professor Xu Qingmu at Southern River University and an intern researcher. She once invited Fang Yuan to work together on the research of the Anticipation Ability.
Hearing that Fang Yuan was coming to visit Southern River University, Wen Siyu, who lived in Golden Hill, immediately volunteered to be his guide.
After Fang Yuan arrived in the Provincial Capital Golden Hill, Wen Siyu led him, Eevee, and Magnemite to experience various Training Facilities at Southern River University.
However, to Fang Yuan's disappointment...
Although these Training Facilities were also very good, Eevee and Magnemite did not gain anything substantial.
"Fang Yuan, when are you planning to go back?"
Wen Siyu took out her Phone, glanced at the date, and asked.
"It's hard to say, but I probably won't stay in Golden Hill for too long," Fang Yuan said.
Wen Siyu nodded and said, "If you're not in a hurry to go back, would you like to visit Professor Xu Qingmu's Research Institute with me the day after tomorrow? I heard my teacher mention you last time, and I think he would be happy to receive you."
"Oh?"
Fang Yuan showed an interested expression: "If possible, I would definitely like to visit."
"I heard that Professor Xu Qingmu has done a lot of research on Eevee, so maybe I can learn something."
"Yes, last time, in order to study the Anticipation Ability, my teacher applied to the Breeding House for several Eevee for research." Wen Siyu smiled: "A room full of Eevee, it's so cute just thinking about it."
"Eevee..."
At this moment.
The Eevee God on Fang Yuan's shoulder waved its claws, expressing resistance. Those were just a group of Eevee with cute appearances but no emotions.
A real Eevee should be at home playing with a Phone.
Meaning, it didn't really want to go.
"Rejection invalid." Fang Yuan held down the restless Eevee.
These famous researchers are so good. They can directly apply for whatever Pokémon they want to study. This shows the country's emphasis on the field of Pokémon research.
After all, Trainer and Pokémon are the main components of national strength now.
However, visiting the Research Institute is a matter for the day after tomorrow.
Fang Yuan asked Wen Siyu if there were any fun places nearby.
After all, since they were out, they couldn't just stay in the hotel.
"An interesting place, do you have any plans for tonight..."
"No."
"Nineteenth Street is likely to be lively tonight, how about I take you to stroll around?"
"Nineteenth Street is...?"
"Um... it's kind of a down-to-earth Pokémon-related night market?"
"Also known as the bargain-hunting market, the shops and stalls on that street often sell items that have been circulated from the Secret Realm."
"These items have been identified as having no Energy fluctuations and are useless junk, but it is often said that people have found rare treasures."
"At the same time, some shops and stalls will hold small Pokémon-related events."
As Wen Siyu finished speaking, Fang Yuan's eyes lit up.
He instantly imagined the plot of an online novel.
A group of people are ignorant, and then he, the transmigrator, picks up a bargain, finds rare treasures, just thinking about it makes him excited.
...
In the evening, after arriving at the so-called "bargain-hunting market," Fang Yuan realized he had been thinking too much.
Although it was said that the items circulated from the Secret Realm were almost all garbage.
Fang Yuan had already prepared to find a bargain, but he couldn't find anything rare.
In the crowded streets, under the bright lights.
A somewhatdejected (decadent/dispirited) uncle stopped Wen Siyu and Fang Yuan.
"Do you two students want to take a look at this?"
"Special mushrooms that only grow in the Secret Realm, these dried mushrooms can be soaked in water and drunk, and have the effect of strengthening the body."
The uncle held a transparent bag filled with a pile of dried mushrooms. Wen Siyu just glanced at it and quickly pulled Fang Yuan away.
"Well... so, if you want to find a bargain in this kind of place, first you need a good eye, and second you need luck."
"But, the luck component needs to be very, very large."
Fang Yuan said, "I understand all of this, but what's the deal with selling dried mushrooms..."
This reminded Fang Yuan of the Magikarp uncle in the games and anime, what a lame (rip-off/scam).
"Mushrooms from the Secret Realm are still mushrooms, you can't eat anything special, but they won't hurt your stomach. Because of their strange shape, they are taken out to fool people who don't know the market at a high price." Wen Siyu said, "Among the fungi in the Secret Realm, only Aroma Mushroom has some market."
Aroma Mushroom, a rare mushroom that can make the surrounding area fragrant, has average nutritional value, but the taste is extremely delicious. Because it cannot be cultivated artificially, it is almost sky-high when cooked by a chef, belonging to fantasy-level ingredients.
Now, Fang Yuan already felt that the rumors of "finding treasures" were just released to fool people.
After a while, Fang Yuan stopped in front of another shop and looked at the pearls on the display stand.
The Eevee on his shoulder also stuck to the glass, staring at the bright pearls.
"You're an Eevee, not a Dragon!"
"Eevee..." Eevee pouted, it was just lamenting how high the asking price was.
It's not because it likes these superficial jewels...
"Although Shellder pearls aren't very useful, they are very expensive, and some shops often like to mix ordinary pearls in with them, selling them at a lower price... If you want them, it's better to go to a larger jewelry store."
Wen Siyu walked over and said, she was obviously very familiar with this place.
Generally speaking, only ordinary Shellder pearls circulate, and some high-quality large pearls have some Energy fluctuations, and will be put in art galleries for collection. As for Pearl Shellder pearls, they are even more precious and expensive. They can only produce one pearl in their lifetime, and it is said that they have the effect of enhancing Psychic Power. They are Pokémon-related items.
Their value is hundreds of times that of ordinary Shellder pearls.
The more Fang Yuan looked, the more bored he became, regretting coming to this scamming place.
Unable to find any treasures, they could only turn their attention to other things, such as some shops and stalls holding small events.
These kinds of shops are generally larger in scale, with more complete items, and are rare.
"Water Gun shooting activity, 10% discount for hitting all targets."
"Not going, I don't have a Water-type Pokémon."
"Buy something and get a Pokémon Massage experience card."
"Not buying, I can do Massage myself."
Fang Yuan continued to walk forward, passing one shop after another, but suddenly, Wen Siyu stopped him and pointed to an alley.
The alley was relatively dark, and an old man who looked very scruffy, like a homeless person, was setting up a stall, attracting many people. Next to him stood a Spoink
