"I will add another billion in cash!"
After saying that, Steven clapped his hands.
The door to the reception room opened again.
Several more staff members came in pushing trolleys.
This time the cart was taller and fuller, with three times the amount of cash as before.
The green banknotes were piled up into hills, and the light shining on them made people's eyes hurt.
Ash The four of them were completely stupid.
They thought that Starf Berry would be valuable, but they never expected that it would be so valuable.
Three hundred million plus one billion, that's 1.3 billion.
And the cash was just piled in front of them.
Ash has never seen even one million in his life, and now with more than one billion in cash piled in front of him, he feels like his worldview is being pressed to the ground and rubbed repeatedly.
Gary's mouth twitched, Misty's eyes were dull, and Brock was so shocked that he even squinted his eyes open.
Steven folded his hands on his chest, with a confident smile on his lips.
He has a winning chance.
Because in Steven's opinion, no one can resist this scale of cash Captivate.
No one!
Then Steven looked at Lu Chen.
What surprised Steven was that Lu Chen didn't show any surprise at this time.
Instead, he was drinking tea with a calm face.
"This black tea tastes good."
Lu Chen took a final sip, put down the tea cup and said
"I will definitely not sell the cultivation method of Starf Berry."
Lu Chen spoke, his voice neither urgent nor slow, and with a firmness that could not be refused.
"Secondly, I don't accept cash payments."
Steven's smile froze.
"I want to exchange this money for something."
Steven frowned.
He hates problems that money can't solve, and he hates people who are not interested in money even more.
As a person who grew up surrounded by money, he is well aware of the power of money and the reaction of most people when faced with money.
But the man in front of me obviously does not belong to most people.
"What?" Steven asked.
Lu Chen coughed slightly and held up three fingers.
"Help me heal the hidden injuries that may be hidden on the three Peak Champion level elves."
Steven was stunned.
This request was beyond his expectation.
Heal Peak Champion level elves' hidden injuries?
This is not impossible for Steven.
With the technical reserves of Devon Corporation, coupled with the rapid development of modern technology, even artificial sky fortresses and space folding backpacks can be built, and it is natural to heal the elves' old hidden injuries.
It can even be said that Devon Corporation does have some reputation in the Pokémon medical field.
But Steven hesitated about something else.
"Whose elf do you want to treat?" Steven's expression became cautious.
"Peak Champion-level elves often have hidden injuries that involve extremely complex battle accumulation, and their treatment requires a very sophisticated plan."
"And..."
Steven paused, with some hesitation in his tone.
"With all due respect, Mr. Lu Chen, each of the elves of Peak Champion level has the power to affect the balance of the region."
"If anything unexpected happens during the treatment, I cannot bear the responsibility."
This was said very tactfully, although on the surface it was a rejection.
But Lu Chen could see that what Steven actually meant was that he wanted to know the origins of these elves.
However, Lu Chen did not intend to answer this question.
"Pah!"
Lu Chen just raised his hand and lightly snapped his fingers.
Lu Chen's shadow suddenly began to twist as if alive, and a purple figure emerged from the shadow.
Gengar grinned, showing his iconic big white teeth.
Then he opened his mouth and took out what Steven had always dreamed of from his own alien space!
Cultivated steel + Psychic-type Elf's top Berry!
The legendary King of Berry!
Starf Berry!
One, two, ten, fifty, a hundred...
Nearly three hundred Starf Berry were piled neatly on the table in the reception room.
Each one is plump and round, with bright color.
There is a faint layer of gleam on the surface.
Just the faint sweet fragrance made Steven's pupils shrink suddenly.
Steven stared at the pile of Starf Berry and remained silent for three seconds.
At this time, Steven has no room for other ideas in his mind!
"I agree."
At this time, the sound of Steven is crisp and clear, without any sloppiness.
"But..."
Steven spoke faster, as if he was afraid that Lu Chen would regret it.
"If it is to treat Peak Champion level elves, we need some preparation time."
"I need to gather the best medical team and mobilize the most advanced equipment."
Lu Chen nodded. "Okay."
Steven turned around and walked aside, took out his cell phone and started making a call.
About ten minutes later, Steven hung up the phone, took a long breath, and came back.
"Mr. Lu Chen, my medical team will be ready in three days."
"Of course, if you have anything during these three days, you can contact me at any time."
Lu Chen nodded again, then patted Gengar on the head.
Gengar grinned and took back more than two hundred Starf Berry from the table to the different space.
There are only ten Starf Berry left on the table.
Lu Chen stood up and pointed at the ten Starf Berry:
"Just treat these as a deposit."
After saying that, Lu Chen turned around and walked towards the door.
"Gone, Ash."
Ash woke up from a dream and followed in a panic.
Gary, Misty, and Brock also stood up quickly, as if they were awakened from a dream.
The door to the reception room closed behind him.
Steven stood there, looking down at the ten Starf Berry on the table.
He stretched out his hand, carefully picked up one, and looked at it carefully under the light.
The shiny luster flows on the surface of the fruit, and the sweet fragrance is tangy.
Steven's mouth slowly opened in an arc, smiling like a child.
"Ten..." Steven said to himself, the excitement in his voice uncontrollable.
"Ten Starf Berry... these alone are enough to keep the entire Devon Corporation research team busy for a year..."
"When I get those three hundred Starf Berry, it should be enough to break through the bottleneck of Metagross's strength and reach Intermediate Champion."
"Huh~"
"This time I made a lot of money!"
But Steven also said with some confusion
"But in this entire elf world, there are almost only a handful of Peak Champion elves!"
"Where did this person named Lu Chen get three of them?"
"Or is it that he is a trainer from another area, and he didn't want people to find out that his patron saint-level elf was injured, so he came to me specifically for help?"
Obviously, the information between different Pokémon League is not interoperable.
Steven never imagined the true identity of Lu Chen.
I just feel that I have completed an extremely cost-effective transaction.
"But don't get too excited. We'll wait until the deal is concluded."
Fourth update, 8,000+, this time it is completely Burn Up.
Also thank you to the Present king of "Longqingshu de Lin Tianfei"!
This is the first time that the little author has received such a valuable Present, thank you!
At the same time, I would also like to thank other readers for their Present. I won't thank them all here (otherwise it would be a waste of hundreds of words)
