Chapter 123 Underground Auction (1645)

"Hmm..."

Shan Min ate fried rice, closing his eyes from time to time to savor it. Soon after, he looked at Kashiwa with a complicated expression, "Learned it from the video recipe?"

"It's impossible that Luo sent a chef to Huangtie Town to teach me?"

Kashiwa laughed and looked at him expectantly, "How is it? Are you satisfied?"

"..."

The noble young man drank a mouthful of water to clean his mouth and said, "To be honest, this is no longer a question of satisfaction or not. If I hadn't met you in Huangtie Town, I would definitely think you were Luo Komoko's apprentice."

His decisive tone made Kashiwa laugh in surprise, "Is it so great?"

"Very good, I will solve my three meals here whenever I have time in the future."

Shan Min said this first, then turned his head to look at the wall, "Although I really want to say this, it's a pity that your place is only open for three hours. And it's not very famous. I still learned about it from a senior executive in your team."

A senior executive?

Perhaps someone from the Jing Group, they have always been the public relations team of the Liusha Team.

Kashiwagi replied: "The current reputation is enough. After all, I only open for three hours a day, and the customer base is already saturated. Unless I raise the price again, I may not be able to handle it."

"Then raise the price. Your current price is not worthy of your cooking skills. Do you still want to benefit the masses without raising the price? The masses can't afford your current price. Just raise it by two levels."

He was very familiar with the advice, "This way you can make more money while ensuring that the number of customers will not be a burden to you."

"It seems true..."

"Don't think too much. The news that I came to your place for dinner today will soon reach the ears of the mayor and more people. Your store will be popular."

"This!"

Kashiwagi was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Shan Min's status was even more exaggerated than he guessed. Just coming to his place for dinner could make his store popular.

"I really don't know how to thank you." He looked at the other party gratefully, but he was alert in his heart.

There is no love or hate without reason in the world. Shan Min first gave him the bell of comfort, and then came to take care of his business. Who would believe that there is no trick in this?

And Shan Min seemed to know that he was afraid, and smiled and said: "It's just a small matter. When you go out, you will understand that it is normal to help each other without asking for anything in return. Even if they are as noble as champions, they will not hesitate to accept challenges from novice trainers or lend a hand.

"Their temperament is incomparable to those people in Huangtie Town. You can always trust each of them-Huangtie Town is really not suitable for you. It will only drag a child of destiny like you into a dirty mud pit."

It started again, and started to praise him again.

Kashiwagi felt embarrassed when he heard it, but Shan Min could praise him very directly-most of the characters in the animation in his memory seemed to be like this. When they encountered something admirable, they would express their appreciation without hesitation.

So you really just like him and don't have any purpose?

You must be on guard against others, so be vigilant.

"Thank you for this wonderful meal. "

Yan Min stood up and prepared to pay.

But Kashiwagi decisively refused, "This is my treat. You take care of me so much, it doesn't make sense for you to pay for a meal - from now on, I will treat you when you come."

"Isn't this a bad idea?"

"Nothing wrong, I just want to make friends with you - of course, the premise is that you are willing to give me this face."

"Friends?"

Yan Min was stunned, then smiled brightly: "I thought we were already friends."

"Uh, I said something wrong."

Kashiwagi begged for mercy helplessly.

After that.

The two chatted for a while until a new customer came to order.

And before leaving, Shan Min told him one more thing, "There will be an underground auction in Dungeon No. 6 in two days. There may be things or Pokémon that you are interested in. You might as well participate."

"Auction?"

"Yes, it's a membership auction, and it's difficult for ordinary people to enter. But I just received an invitation letter. If you don't mind, I'll take you. You just happen to be in need of Pokémon, right? "

"...No problem!"

"Then I'll come find you the day after tomorrow. Don't stay here for now. "Shan Minoru said and left.

Kashiwagi was digesting what he had just said in the kitchen.

If he guessed correctly, the main purpose of Shan Minoru's coming this time was to invite him to the auction.

To show goodwill? To extend an olive branch?

Or was there another purpose?

No matter which one, Kashiwagi couldn't refuse it, because the auction was very likely the place where he would get new Pokémon. But to be honest, this kind of place... would only raise the price of Pokémon or other things to a level that it didn't deserve.

Is 10 million enough?

He seemed to foresee the scene where the 30 million he had just received would disappear with the wind.

It would be great if he could buy it for free.

Kashiwagi couldn't help but have some unrealistic fantasies, but he didn't know what effect the wooden sign had - maybe it was a scam like the iron ingot.

At the beginning, Kokodora had no interest in the iron ingot at all.

——

In a blink of an eye.

The day of the auction arrived.

Shan Minoru came to the store as agreed, and Kashiwagi closed the store.

"If you don't mind, take my car. "

He pointed to a dusty hovercraft outside.

Baishi was a little surprised, "Your car?"

"Yes, this is the most suitable car for the environment of Huangtie Town. It is much better than some sports cars and sedans. I am not good at motorcycles." He explained while opening the door of the cab.

Kashiwagi went around to the co-pilot and just as he was about to sit on it, he saw a strange sight coming from the back seat.

Immediately, a golden-haired human-shaped fox-faced Pokémon showed up. It was wearing strange brown armor, like a wise old man.

"Alakazam?"

"My ace Pokémon, I didn't take it out to fight you last time. If there is a chance, I don't mind another game. Your strength has improved again now, right?"

Shan Min started the car and smiled.

"Sure, I am looking forward to it." Kashiwagi nodded.

This person's strength is ranked among the best in the entire Huangtie Town. When he can defeat it, he can walk sideways in Huangtie Town.

On the way.

The two chatted when they had nothing to do.

"Excuse me, how many tournaments have you participated in?"

"Tournaments? I participated in four, the Silver Tournament in Johto, the Caiyou Tournament in Hoenn, the Lily of the Valley Tournament in Sinnoh, and the Miare Tournament in Kalos. The results were not good, the top 16, the top 4, the top 4, and the runner-up."

"This... this is already very strong, right?"

"If you can't win, you can't participate in the Champions League. If you can't participate in the Champions League, you can't challenge the Four Heavenly Kings or the champions to replace them, so the runner-up is meaningless."

Yama Minoru smiled at Kashiwagi, "We're here, get ready to get off the car."

The latter looked up and found that they had arrived at a certain underground city without knowing when, and a huge and quiet building appeared in front of them.

The two found a place to park the car and walked in from the only main door that was lit.

Not long.

A huge banquet hall with many sofas neatly arranged came into Kashiwagi's sight, and at the end of his sight was a bright stage with spotlights gathered, and many staff members were busy around it.

When they arrived, many other invitees had already arrived at the scene.
