Chapter 504
In front of the gate of Black Tiger City, Xiao Yan's face was full of curiosity as he looked at the posters posted at the gate.
Although he already had a mobile phone, he rarely watched Douyin and spent most of his time playing games with Agumon, so he didn't know about the Pokémon Contest.
After taking a rough look at the poster, he showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.
"So this is the so-called Pokémon Contest, it seems interesting."
According to the information on the poster, this Pokémon Contest was jointly organized by Sihai Pavilion and Black Tiger Immortal Mansion, aiming to give all Pokémon-loving trainers a chance to show themselves.
The competition is divided into a duel and a beauty pageant.
The duel is about the combat power of Pokémon, and the beauty pageant is about the appearance of Pokémon.
The awards and rewards for the two are separate.
The winner of the duel can not only get a reward of 50 million fairy stones and a Pokémon of the level of a mythical beast, but also get the qualification to open a gym, become a local Pokémon authority and enjoy a lot of privileges, and become famous in the three realms from then on.
The winner of the beauty pageant can also get a reward of 50 million fairy stones and a legendary Pokémon. Although they cannot open a gym, they can get a lot of Pokémon-related endorsements and become a big internet celebrity.
The registration conditions are also very simple. You only need to have a Pokémon to participate in the competition. The same Pokémon can only be registered for one event.
The duel competition is divided into individual competition and team competition, and the rewards are also refined.
In short, no matter what kind of competition you participate in, as long as you get a good ranking, you can gain fame and fortune and become the focus of everyone's attention.
After learning about this, Xiao Yan couldn't wait any longer. He rushed into the city with Agumon as soon as possible, and started queuing after finding the Pokémon store.
During this period, a large number of immortals from Black Tiger City came to line up to buy, and the scene was very lively for a while.
At the same time as the long queue at the entrance of the Pokémon store, on the top floor of the Pokémon store, the Black Tiger Immortal Lord holding Squirtle and Lin Ye holding Dragonite were quietly watching the people queuing below.
"It seems that Immortal Lord, you have done a good job in publicity. So many people have come to buy Pokémon on the first day of opening."
"No, no, this is all your plan, President. I am just responsible for the execution."
"If this Pokémon competition can be held smoothly, your Black Tiger Immortal Mansion will definitely become the Pokémon capital and a pilgrimage site for countless trainers. Not only can it create a large amount of immortal stone income for the Black Tiger Immortal Mansion, but it can also attract a large number of geniuses with beast control talents. Immortal Lord, you will have a heavy burden in the future."
As soon as Lin Ye said this, the Black Tiger Immortal Lord's eyes lit up instantly, and his eyes were full of longing for the future.
Since he got a mobile phone, he either practiced dog-licking on Momo or brushed Douyin every day, and he also learned a lot about what happened in the outside world.
After learning about the recent development of Changliu Immortal Mansion, Wulong Immortal Mansion, and Yaoyue Immortal Mansion, he deeply realized a truth, that is, if you want the immortal mansion to develop well, you must develop the characteristic economy of the immortal mansion and create a unique characteristic industrial chain of the immortal mansion.
The income-generating capacity of characteristic industries is even far higher than that of immortal stone veins. With characteristic industries, the economy of the immortal mansion can be revitalized.
Instead of sending out immortal stones as before, and the immortals took them to save them, or took them to practice. In this way, the immortal stones are not circulated, and the immortal mansion can't talk about development, attracting talents, and retaining talents.
At this time, his mind once again rang with the words that Lin Ye said when he came to him to discuss the creation of the Pokémon City not long ago.
"Resource-based immortal mansions are not a long-term solution. Sooner or later, the immortal stone veins will be hollowed out. The day when the immortal stone veins are hollowed out is the day when the Black Tiger Immortal Mansion comes to an end. Consumption is the driving force of immortal stone growth, and industrial upgrading is the ultimate destination of the development of the immortal mansion. No resources can compare to human resources."
This sentence is undoubtedly a wake-up call for the Black Tiger Immortal Lord.
After a conversation, he really regarded Lin Ye as a friend and a mentor.
Thinking of this, Black Tiger Immortal Lord couldn't help asking: "President, why didn't you choose to build Yaoyue Immortal Mansion into the capital of Pokémon, but chose our Black Tiger Immortal Mansion?"
Hearing this question from Black Tiger Immortal Lord, Lin Ye thought about it first, and then gave an answer: "Because you are kind."
"This..." After getting the answer, Black Tiger Immortal Lord was immediately moved, not for anything else, just because Lin Ye understood him.
Others think that he chose to taming beasts because he has an extraordinary talent for taming beasts, but who knows that he originally chose to taming beasts because he likes small animals. All the beasts he has raised were taken care of by him personally. When the beasts died, he cried more sadly than anyone else, but no one saw it.
Even his name of Black Tiger Immortal Lord came from the first pet he raised in the lower world - Black Tiger. If Tiger Tiger Immortal Lord was not too unpleasant, he would have called him Tiger Tiger Immortal Lord. For tens of thousands of years, he has been using a fierce and rough appearance to cover up his kind heart.
What he didn't know was that the main reason why Lin Ye chose Black Tiger Immortal Mansion instead of Yaoyue Immortal Mansion was because Yaoyue Immortal Mansion had gone astray.
He had previously planned to build Yaoyue Immortal Mansion into a Pokémon capital, but the female fairies there really treasured their own Pokémon. After a long time, Yaoyue Immortal Mansion had already created a new industrial chain.
Pokemon beauty salons, Pokémon clothing accessories, etc., have also led to the rise of the beauty industry in Yaoyue Xianfu. A large number of female fairies have begun to engage in beauty salons, hair salons, nail salons, eyelashes, clothing design, clothing manufacturing, cosmetics research and development, etc.
Perhaps because women understand women better, Yaoyue Xianfu has a tendency to become the beauty capital of the Three Realms. A large number of female cultivators from all over the Three Realms line up to go to Yaoyue Xianfu to get their hair done, do nail art, and buy clothes.
Pokémon is more like a fashion item for them.
In addition, there is another more important reason, that is, the Black Tiger Xianfu has rich fairy beast resources. There are not only a large number of ordinary fairy beasts here, but also some descendants of legendary beasts, which makes it more convenient to produce Pokémon.
"By the way, Immortal Lord, I heard that there are seven beast-controlling families in the Black Tiger Immortal Mansion. Have they been invited to this Pokémon Competition?"
Lin Ye suddenly asked this question. The Black Tiger Immortal Lord nodded first, and then replied:
"Except for the Xiao family, I have sent people to notify the seven beast-controlling families, but they seem to be quite resistant to Pokémon."
"Oh? Why is that?" Lin Ye asked curiously.
"The seven families all started out as beast-controlling families, and they followed the traditional beast-controlling route. In the past, the fairy beast market in the Black Tiger Immortal Mansion was basically controlled by them. Now that Pokémon is being fully promoted, they naturally do not agree." At this point, the Black Tiger Immortal Lord frowned slightly.
"And I also heard that, except for the Xiao family, the other families strictly forbid their children from buying Pokémon. They are even secretly trying to hinder the promotion of Pokémon in the Black Tiger Immortal Mansion."
"Why doesn't the Xiao family prohibit it?"
"Because the Xiao family lives outside the city, they don't know about Pokémon yet."
"So that's it. They refuse to buy Pokémon because they don't know the advantages of Pokémon compared to traditional beast control. If they can know the advantages of Pokémon, they will naturally not refuse."
"Huh? The one in the queue over there seems to be Xiao Yan, the son of Xiao Zhan, the head of the Xiao family. He is also queuing up to buy Pokémon." At this time, the Black Tiger Immortal suddenly said.
Hearing his words, Lin Ye immediately followed his gaze and looked over. At a glance, he saw a boy with Agumon queuing there.
"Xiao Yan from the Xiao family? Why not let him tell the other six families that the era of traditional beast control is over?"
"What do you mean, President?"
