I, Xiao Mao, want to become a Pokémon Master!

Page 363

Xiao Mao is rich, but not stupid.

"Don't worry, I also have gold coins here. I can sell them to you at the modern gold coin price," the shop owner said.

Xiao Mao immediately looked at the boss with a suspicious gaze.

Is this shop owner trying to sell counterfeit antique gold coins?

The shopkeeper understood what Xiao Mao meant and quickly explained, "Don't look at me like that. All those gold coins are from my own collection. Some are fakes that I mistook for genuine gold, but they are all real gold."

It's relatively easy to distinguish genuine gold from fake. There are quite a few people who use gold to impersonate ancient coins to deceive people, and many antique shop owners have been fooled.

"Okay, I'll buy one then," Xiao Mao said.

"One isn't enough. The more gold coins you have, the more you'll attract the money-gathering spirits. I suggest you buy more." The shopkeeper now revealed the appearance of a shrewd businessman.

Xiao Mao knew that the boss wanted to sell him more gold coins, but he couldn't find a reason to refuse. Indeed, the more gold coins he had, the more money-seeking spirits he would attract.

"How many do we need?" Xiao Mao decided to splurge.

"The reason the Money-Gathering Spirit collects gold coins is to evolve. It's said that only by collecting 999 gold coins can it evolve into a Rich Man. I suggest you buy 100 gold coins," the shopkeeper advised.

Xiaomao: →_→!

You've received 100 counterfeit ancient gold coins? It looks like you're the old man who's passing off gold coins as ancient gold coins to sell.

"how much is it?"

Xiao Mao didn't mind. 100 gold coins were still within Xiao Mao's acceptable range. Anyway, it was bought at the normal gold coin price. Besides, gold coins are hard currency. He didn't sell them afterward, so he didn't lose much money.

"Hold on."

The boss immediately went to the store's warehouse, took out a burlap sack, placed it on the table, and when he touched the table, he could hear a metallic clanging sound coming from inside the sack.

"There are exactly 100 gold coins here, each weighing 10 grams. You can verify them one by one," the shopkeeper said.

Looking at the sack full of gold coins, Xiao Mao was certain that the coins inside were mass-produced and were just something the boss used to fool people.

"How much?" Xiao Mao asked.

"According to today's international gold recycling price, one gram of gold is worth 500 yuan, so a gold coin is worth 5000 yuan. Adding the 500 yuan processing fee, the total is 550000 yuan."

"Let me check it first."

"Please."

The owner was very confident that the gold coins were genuine, just not antiques. He said that although his craftsmanship fee was a bit high, it was normal, as all other gold shops charged the same fee.

Xiao Mao knew how to verify the gold coins; he simply heated them with fire. The shop had the tools, so he placed the gold coins in a porcelain bowl and started blowing fire at them. It took quite a bit of effort to heat all the gold coins.

The boss wasn't too quick. Although these gold coins weren't antiques, they were definitely made of real gold.

After paying, Xiao Mao put the money in his backpack and left the antique shop.

"How about we catch them tonight?"

After leaving the antique shop, it was already late, so Xiao Mao decided to start catching the money-gathering spirit that night.

At least from the antique shops, we know that there are money-stealing spirits in Zhuotai City, and not just one. They will try every means to sneak into antique shops and gold shops.

Therefore, antique shops and gold shops usually keep a ghost-type Pokémon to guard against money-stealing spirits.

After grabbing a quick dinner at a random restaurant, Xiao Mao stayed at the Pokémon Center until nightfall.

It was 9 o'clock when Xiao Mao came out of the Pokémon Center. At this time, the antique shops and gold shops were already closed, and there were hardly any people on the streets. Most young people would go to nightclubs, but there were hardly any nightclubs near the antique shops and gold shops.

· ·Request flowers·· ·········

Xiao Mao found a closed jewelry store and, through the transparent glass window, saw a Tibetan Mastiff Godfather inside.

【LV33 Mastiff Godfather♂/Elite】

This Mastiff Godfather was naturally used by the gold shop owner to ward off the Money-Stealing Spirit. Although the Mastiff Godfather is not a Ghost-type Pokémon, it is a Dark-type Pokémon, which is effective against Ghost-type Pokémon. In addition, being a canine, it can smell the Money-Stealing Spirit.

In addition, the Mastiff Godfather is a guardian spirit in the Padia region, which can not only ward off money-grabbing spirits, but also ward off thieves, making it highly versatile.

Xiao Mao's appearance here also caught the eye of the Mastiff Godfather. If Xiao Mao dared to rashly break into the jewelry store, he would definitely be attacked by the Mastiff Godfather.

Gary had no intention of evolving; he just came to take a look, then moved away from the area. About a kilometer away from Gold Point, he placed a bag containing 100 gold coins in the center of a small flower bed, then released Gengar and hid to the side, silently waiting for Money Spirit to take the bait.

Gengar was naturally teleported over last night, just to make it easier to capture Moneygruom.

Although this method is foolish, there is currently no other way.

As time passed, an hour went by, and the city gradually quieted down, free from the hustle and bustle of the day.

In the dead of night, a tiny creature, only 10 centimeters tall, came to the flower bed.

Gary and Gardevoir didn't notice the tiny creature either, because it was too small, and Ghost-type Pokémon are generally not easily detected, so they naturally couldn't find it.

However, as soon as the tiny figure approached the money pouch, it was immediately spotted by Gary and Gardevoir.

Wearing night vision goggles, Xiao Mao also saw the little figure, which was the money-gathering spirit he had come all the way from afar to find.

【LV30 Money-Gathering Spirit/Elite】

This money-grabbing spirit doesn't have much potential, but its level is quite high.

The potential of an elite is such that a spirit can only reach level 39 at most. This money-gathering spirit must have taken a lot of time to grow to level 30.

Xiao Mao felt that this money-grubbing spirit had lived for at least twenty or thirty years, and was probably older than Xiao Mao himself.

534: Sai Fuhao

"Gurgle! Gurgle!"

The money-seeking spirit climbed onto the money bag, saw the gold coins inside, and its eyes lit up with excitement, shouting loudly.

The money bag contained a full 100 gold coins. This money-grubbing spirit had never seen so many gold coins in its life, so it was naturally very excited.

However, at that moment, a red beam of light shone on the Money-Seeking Spirit.

"Gurney!!"

Money Spirit immediately turned around and saw Gary and Gengar appear behind him.

"Geng Ga!"

Gengar grinned smugly, "Little brat, let's see where you run now."

"Gurgle."

The money-seeking spirit immediately realized it had been tricked, but strangely enough, humans usually chased it away when they saw it.

Why was this boy so strange? He didn't chase him away, but instead kept him here. For a moment, Suo Cailing was a little confused.

The Moneypick is a "270" with no natural enemies. It is only 10 centimeters tall and no Pokémon would eat it, so it is not very wary. Its only enemies are the Pokémon in antique shops and gold shops.

But the Money-Gathering Spirit has to go there on its own initiative, otherwise no spirit would bother attacking it for no reason.

Seeing that the Money-Grubber wasn't flustered, Xiao Mao didn't want to subdue it through battle. Instead, he persuaded it, "Money-Grubber, become my Pokémon, and I can give you all these coins, and even more coins."

"What's wrong!?"

The money-seeking spirit was very suspicious, wondering if Xiao Mao was lying, and wanted to know where it had hidden the gold coins.

Without saying a word, Xiao Mao took out the Money-Gathering Spirit's coin pouch from his spatial backpack.

When the money bag appeared in Xiao Mao's hand, the Money-Seeking Spirit immediately sensed that the money bag was filled with the scent of gold coins, and these were not ordinary gold coins, but gold coins that had been nurtured by the Money-Seeking Spirit.

"If you're willing to be my elf, I can give you all the gold coins in my purse," said Xiao Mao.

"Gurgle!"

Without hesitation, the Money-Grubber immediately nodded in agreement. After all, it didn't have many coins to collect, and as long as it became Gary's Pokémon, it could get so many well-nurtured coins, so why wouldn't it agree?

Seeing the Money-Gathering Spirit nod, Xiao Mao didn't expect it to be so easy to persuade, but it was clear that gold coins had a great influence on the Money-Gathering Spirit.

Xiao Mao put the Moneypick's coin pouch back into his inventory, then took out a Poké Ball and threw it at the Moneypick.

Having witnessed trainers capturing Pokémon, the Money-Grubber stood still, letting the Poké Ball hit it and trap it inside.

The Poké Ball wobbled a few times on the ground before stopping.

Xiao Mao successfully subdued the Money-Stealing Spirit.

Shigeru quickly walked over, first collecting the coins, then getting the Poké Ball to check the data of the Moneypick.

【Sprite: Money-Grabbing Spirit】

[Attribute: Ghost]

【Level: 30】

[Potential: Elite]

[Ability: Escape (Guaranteed to escape from wild Pokémon.)]

[Skills: Startle, Collision.]

【Intimacy Level: 100 (Maximum 255)】

【Item Carried: Gold Coins of the Money-Gathering Spirit】

The data for the Money-Gathering Spirit is like this: no matter how many levels it levels up, it can only awaken two skills.

After reviewing the data of the Money-Gathering Spirit, Xiao Mao released the Money-Gathering Spirit again.

"Gurgle!"

The money-grubbing spirit appeared and immediately went to Xiao Mao's feet, demanding gold coins from him.

"What a greedy guy," Xiao Mao thought to himself, then took out the comfort bell.

"Here, put this in your storage space. I'll give you some gold coins later," Xiao Mao said.

The Money Spirit looked at the Soothing Bell, then took the gold coins out of its storage space, put the Soothing Bell back in, and held the gold coins in both hands, looking as if it was afraid that Xiao Mao would snatch them away.

"Don't worry, I won't steal your things." Xiao Mao pouted helplessly, reaching out to stroke Suo Cai Ling's body. The touch was icy cold, and the body felt smooth, like some kind of special metallic texture.

Xiao Mao immediately began teaching the Money-Grubber to its skills. Generally, after being taught, the Money-Grubber can only master three skills: Sleep, Reflect Wall, and Guard.

"Gurney!!"

The Money-Seeking Spirit was also very surprised, as it had unknowingly awakened three new skills. It immediately looked at Xiao Mao, knowing that Xiao Mao must have done this.
