Chapter 163 The Arrival of Boss Hong
Chapter 163 The Arrival of Boss Hong
"Yes, Xiaotian, doing things this way will not only cost a lot of money, but also gain your family's friendship in top-level competitions. What if hundreds or thousands of people participate?"
"Haha, Professor Oak, maybe I didn't explain it clearly just now. Not everyone can get my family's friendship in the top competition; only the top 20 can."
"And Grandma Mustard, do you think I have money to burn? Uncle Xiao, tell them how much money I have right now."
Faced with their doubts, Xuan Mingtian decided to let his strength speak for itself. Money was like dirt to him; he had no idea how much money he actually had.
"Professor Oak, Professor Mustard. Xiaotian currently has around 10 billion in cash, and over 10 billion in Alliance Coins in his account. Therefore, he's really not short of money."
Uncle Xiao's words left the three of them completely dumbfounded. Even someone as amazing as Professor Oak only had about one-tenth of Xuan Mingtian's savings. As for Mustard Seed Orchid, let alone her...
"Furthermore, the advanced competitions are held every two years, while the top-tier competitions are held every three years. I receive billions in dividends every year, do you think I'm short of money?"
The words had been spoken so bluntly that the two understood this was a share of the profits from Devon Corporation. The thought of being kidnapped instantly crossed their minds—hadn't they seen how much money the other side made from just one kidnapping case?
"Professor Oak and Grandma, please don't think like that. This involves both power and risk. You wouldn't want to take the destructive beam head-on, would you?"
When Xuan Mingtian uttered those words, both of them instantly regained their composure. The former was right; without considerable strength, the Xuan family would have already wreaked havoc across the regional alliances.
"Okay, I was being narrow-minded. After all, with Dragonite by my side, I wouldn't dare to take the destructive rays head-on. But I'd also like to participate in the pigeon racing you mentioned. How do I register?"
"That's easy. As long as you have a Bean Pigeon, you can participate in the competition. However, there is one rule: you cannot abandon your Bean Pigeon at will. Otherwise, even if you win the competition, your prize money will be recovered."
The rules for pigeon racing are not yet finalized, but there's still plenty of time. It will take at least another six months before the sport can be implemented.
After that, Xuan Mingtian ignored Professor Oak and the others and focused on observing the training of the Bean Pigeons.
Looking around, you can see the eldest Bean Pigeon desperately chasing after the three Muker brothers, but no matter how hard it tries, it can't catch up with them.
This is inevitable, however, because the three Muker brothers undergo at least one hour of flight training every day, giving them a slight advantage over the Bean Pigeons in this regard.
An hour had passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, both Dragonite and Tropius returned, but Mr. Hong, carrying the latter, looked terrified. This puzzled everyone present.
"Boss Hong, what's wrong? Did you encounter something terrifying?"
Faced with Xuan Mingtian's question, Boss Hong was stunned for a while before muttering to himself, "Too fast, really too fast. It's even faster than flying."
"Tropical dragon, what's going on?"
"Awooo~ Tropical~ Tropical Dragon": Oh, it's probably because I flew too fast. Look how scared this young man is, all those muscles are wasted.
Through the little cutie's telepathic explanation, Xuan Mingtian finally understood the whole story. No wonder it was able to return at the same time as Dragonite; it turned out it was due to flying at full speed.
However, upon closer examination, it becomes clear that Dragonite is currently only at the near-champion level. No matter how fast it is, it can't compare to a mid-champion Tropius.
Although the latter is not good at flying, its method of using elemental energy is unmatched! This is something that a Dragonite in the near-championship level cannot compare to.
"Mr. Hong, I'm so sorry to have startled you. Are you feeling better now?"
"Oh, it's Young Master Xuan. It's alright, it's alright. I'm tough. I also brought some of the elf eggs with me. Please come and check them."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tropical Dragon belatedly took off the box behind him and placed it in front of Xuan Mingtian.
After Boss Hong entered the password and opened the box, he was greeted by 16 neatly arranged Pokémon eggs.
Next to each egg is labeled its name: Sandshrew, Buffalo, Afro-Headed Buffalo, Milkcan, Curly-Eared, Spoon-Snake, Ponyta, Mud Donkey, Mounted Goat, Mareep, Bean Dove, Derubi, Oddish Mastiff, Little Wild Boar, Lotus Leaf Boy, and Electabuzz.
Looking at the 16 Pokémon eggs before him, Xuan Mingtian activated the data panel. Scanning their basic information, the results delighted him.
Because these 16 Pokémon eggs are at least green-quality. Among them, Miltank, Houndoom, and Electabuzz are evenly split between green and blue.
This shows that Boss Hong really put a lot of effort into collecting these eggs.
“Mr. Hong, you’ve done a very good job. I’ve also checked the quality of these Pokémon eggs, and they’re perfectly fine. I can grant you one reasonable request.”
"Young Master Xuan, you're too kind. These are all things I can do. It's my honor to help you, and I wouldn't dare to ask for anything in return."
Boss Hong was initially overjoyed by what Xuan Mingtian said. However, he later suppressed his excitement because he had also received news that the other party had once again captured the legendary spirit.
"Haha, Mr. Hong, there's no need for further words. Since I've agreed to your request, I'll keep my word. If you haven't thought it through yet, then let's wait until you have to before we talk about it."
Reputation is something Xuan Mingtian values highly. Just like with Manager Jia before, if he said he would wipe out his whole family, he would wipe out his whole family.
With Boss Hong's matter temporarily settled, Xuan Mingtian also instructed the twelve Earthly Branches to tidy up their respective spirits.
Then he looked at the Pokémon egg in Dragonite's arms, and at the same time the data panel opened again.
Firebird Egg
Attributes: Fire, Flying
Characteristic: Overwhelming Force (A Pokémon possessing this characteristic can suppress its opponent in battle with its imposing aura, causing the opponent to consume double the energy required to use its moves.)
Qualifications: Qing
Assessment: This is a direct descendant of the Oak family's guardian spirit. If properly nurtured, it will undoubtedly become a powerful force in the future.
Looking at the elf egg in its paws, Xuan Mingtian felt a surge of excitement. After all, this was the first time he had ever seen an elf egg from a legendary elf.
"Xiaotian, Tropius. From now on, I'm entrusting Dragonite to you. This is the descendant of my family's guardian Pokémon, and also the one with the best potential."
"Haha, Professor Oak, don't worry about that. Now that the deal is done, Tropius will definitely teach Dragonite a good lesson."
