Qian Bing knew that Pokémon Centers naturally couldn't be bothered to tamper with low-quality Spirit Eggs.
But the Dratini egg he had selected from the A-Rank Warehouse was of Champion Grade quality, already placing it among high-end Pokémon.
If the Pokémon Center had malicious intentions and wanted to pull some trick, replacing his high-quality Dratini with an ordinary Pokemon,
