Chapter 259 Mistakes Must Be Admitted
"When will I finally be able to collect all the Pokémon cards from the Kanto region?!"
Hearing Xuan Mingtian's mutterings to himself, the friends and elves around him all rolled their eyes.
They never expected that for the first half hour, they would still be so stubborn and unwilling to pay attention to everyone, so focused on their love for the elf cards, but after finishing, they would feel it was a pity that they didn't have enough cards to collect.
Seriously, the sun is shining so brightly, even the sunflowers don't know which way the sun is anymore.
As time went by, the group and the elves traded their items at their favorite stalls.
Until they randomly spotted a stall belonging to a school teacher, which not only had spirit stones of various attributes, but also some highly practical spirit items.
Moreover, there were quite a few people queuing up at this stall.
Judging from the items on the stall, they seem to be convincing and reassuring enough.
"Let's go see what the stalls have that might be suitable for us."
As Xuan Mingtian finished speaking, everyone shrugged and waved their hands indifferently.
The Pokémon acted as if they would follow their trainer wherever he went.
Another major reason is that the Pokémon are no longer able to care about their owners or trainers.
They're trying to imitate Squirtle by eating gems that aren't of their own elemental attribute. They want to see if their bodies will change color like Squirtle's.
"Jenny~Jenny~Turtle": Brother Long, is it really okay for you to eat this?
"Awooo~ Dragon~ Fire Dragon": Brother Turtle, what am I afraid of? As long as the flames on my tail don't go out, the boss can definitely heal me in no time.
“Stone~ Little Fist Stone~”: What are you afraid of? Just the big sister comes out and can cure us.
"Turtle~ Squirtle~ Squirtle": Okay, okay, then Dragon Bro, try the Leaf Stone first. Let's see if the flames on your tail can shoot up a foot high. And Stone Bro, try the Light Stone and the Dark Stone, see if you can turn pitch black or shiny.
……
As the group approached the stall, their respective sprites were either chattering away or holding various kinds of spirit stones.
Then, they handed the spirit stones of different attributes to their companions of different attributes.
Even our little darling has joined in on one of the most insane events in history.
It even took out pieces of spirit stones from its own little backpack and handed them to the little fist stone.
Xuan Mingtian glanced at the scene, but did not try to stop it.
At that moment, he was rubbing his hands together, his eagerness on his face was obvious.
Because he was already quite eager to see what the colorful little geormilla stones looked like.
Will it be like the colorful lights in a bar, or even more so?
"Stone~Little Fist Stone": Big Sister, why don't we try it when we get home? If I become multicolored right now because I ate the spirit stone, wouldn't you be the one who embarrasses yourself?
"Mimi~Mimi": Hmm~ You make a lot of sense. Let's try it when we get home. That salted fish will be the first to try it.
I wanted to see how Geodude changes color in public.
Unfortunately, they weren't in the mood for it at all. So, Xuan Mingtian pouted, looking unsatisfied.
However, his gaze returned to the stall that was right next to him.
"Hey~ Isn't this the third member of the infamous truancy quartet? Pick whatever you want. I'm in a good mood today, so everything on the stall is 20% off."
The person speaking was the teacher who was tending the stall. Or rather, this was his personal stall.
After all, along the way, we saw that many teachers had their own booths.
Some people have one stall, some have two people, and some even have several people sharing a stall.
So please don't be surprised if you see teachers setting up stalls.
"Ahem~ Hello teacher, thank you teacher. We have something we've got our eye on, and we'll let you know."
Xuan Mingtian was truly helpless when he heard this teacher address him in this way.
Honestly, since the start of the semester, there has been one day almost every week when we're not in the classroom.
This frequency is indeed a bit too high, even more so than a woman's monthly visit to her period.
Therefore, when faced with teasing from unfamiliar teachers, one can only swallow one's pride and bear it.
After exchanging a few words, Xuan Mingtian and his companions began to browse and select what they needed.
Until about ten minutes later~
For some unknown reason, the ceramic elf figurine, about the size of a fist, fell straight to the ground before Xuanwu Ye could even hold it tightly.
"Tap and light up~"
The sound of shattering ceramic rang out, and he stared in astonishment at the shards on the ground. Then, at a loss, he looked at Xuan Mingtian beside him with pleading eyes.
However, the latter only said one sentence: "See, this is the consequence of not being able to handle things properly. Apologize to this teacher and then compensate him at the original price."
"Uh~ Xuan, you don't need to be so strict with your brother. This ceramic elf figurine isn't worth much at all, let's just forget about it."
The teacher glanced at the embarrassed Xuan Wuye, then at the serious-looking Xuan Mingtian, and offered some words of comfort.
But the next moment...
“Absolutely not. The goods haven’t been sold yet, and it was my brother who accidentally broke them. He should be responsible for this; a single sentence can’t erase the mistake.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Xuanwu Ye gradually overcame his helplessness and anxiety, and then said to the stall owner, "I'm sorry, teacher. I couldn't hold it properly, so the ceramic elf figure broke. I will compensate you at the original price. I'm really sorry."
After speaking, Xuanwu Ye looked up at his teacher with his blinking eyes, looking completely at him like he was ready to be taken advantage of.
"Alright, alright, Wu Ye, I accept your apology. This figurine only costs 200 Alliance Coins."
The teacher couldn't possibly interrupt Xuan Mingtian's lecture to his younger brother.
He even greatly admired and respected them, believing that admitting mistakes is the first principle of being a good person. Xuan Mingtian's education effectively prevented Xuan Wuye from becoming a spoiled brat in the future.
After all, he has the soul of someone in their fifties or sixties. If he can't even educate his own younger brother properly, he really won't have the face to face his elders and fellow villagers.
He paid for the damages and cleaned up the broken pieces in one smooth motion. Xuanwu Ye no longer looked embarrassed, but his slightly trembling hands indicated that he was not entirely at peace with himself.
As he was sweeping, he suddenly seemed to have discovered a new continent.
"Huh~ What is this? A round little pebble? Or did we find some treasure? Brother, come and see what this is."
