Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 24 "The Money Tree"

After some fiddling, Jinghe finally managed to temporarily block the constant stream of pop-up comments on her computer.

He glanced at some of the comments.

To be honest, most people came to "watch the show" because of Professor Oak's comment. After all, not everyone has the time or inclination to study Pokémon. However, this kind of "show" did "activate" his online consultation room.

He pays more attention to those who come to him for advice than to the comments under his papers.

After all, this was a good sample for him to observe.

However, some of the people who came for consultation left him speechless. For example, one person asked if it was a psychological problem for a Pokémon not to eat, and another asked whether humans and Pokémon should coexist.
It's either too simple or too profound.

If Jinghe hadn't already known Mewtwo's account, he would have even suspected that the person called "Mathematical Magician" was Mewtwo.

In comparison, the question asked by the user "Eevee eats cabbage," about what to do when your Pokémon is too insecure, is a more normal psychological issue.

However, considering that he had finally gotten so many inquiries, he replied to each one with the idea of ​​"taking this opportunity to make a name for himself".

This will be beneficial for him to open his own psychological counseling center in the future.

[Jingzhongzhihe]: If a Pokémon doesn't eat, and it's not because it's full, could it be because the food doesn't suit its taste?

The first question is very simple.

The third person, Jinghe, chose to throw the question back at the other party. Someone who could ask such a question probably already had their own understanding, so it was better to listen to what the other party had to say first.

【Jingzhongzhihe】: If humans and Pokémon should not coexist, then what do you think is the best way for them to get along?
As for the second question...
【Jingzhongzhihe】: There are many reasons for low self-esteem, such as physiological reasons, experience reasons, environmental reasons, psychological reasons, etc.
Neither "Growlithe" nor "Mathematical Magician" replied, but "Eevee Eating Cabbage" quickly sent another message.

[Ibrahimovic eating cabbage]: I think it's probably related to both.

'High-intensity internet surfing?'

I didn't expect them to reply so quickly.

After thinking for a moment, Jinghe started typing on the keyboard.

【Jingzhongzhihe】: That would be quite troublesome. But no matter what's involved, there's always a fundamental problem, and once that problem is solved, the other effects will likely be resolved as well.

Considering the blunder Mewtwo caused last time, he continued to reply.

【Jingzhongzhihe】: Can you show me what Pokémon it is?
Soon, a photo was uploaded.

It looks like it was taken on location with a mobile phone.

But when he saw the Pokémon in the picture, he fell silent.

Surrounded by lush greenery and covered in grass, a fish-shaped Pokémon swims in a crystal-clear pond.

Its entire body is almost entirely yellowish-brown, with some pits and bumps. Its fins and tail are light blue, but they look somewhat tattered, and its eyes appear dull and lifeless.

The Water-type Pokémon, Feebas!
Jing He: "."

He pursed his lips, staring at the ugly fish for a long time, unsure of what to say.

If we're talking about which Pokémon is the most insecure, then Feebas is undoubtedly number one, though Pokémon that can see through everything might be a close contender.
However, curing the ugly fish's inferiority complex is indeed a very difficult task.

Jinghe even suspected that this person was deliberately making things difficult for her.

Perhaps because Jinghe hadn't replied for a while, the other party popped up to ask.

[Ibrahimovic eating cabbage]: Is there a way to do this?

Jing He took a slight breath.

【Jingzhongzhihe】: Yes.

[Ibrahimovic eating cabbage]: Really?
【Jingzhongzhihe】: It's quite difficult and requires a combination of psychotherapy and physical intervention. Considering your situation, only physical intervention is possible. You can try feeding it an astringent fruit or vegetable, such as "Zero-Yu Fruit," and then observe its reaction before deciding on a method.

[Ibrahimovic eating cabbage]: Okay, thank you.

Seeing its name quickly dim, it must have gone to search for "Zero Surplus Fruit," Jinghe couldn't help but press her temples.

How to cure Ugly Fish's inferiority complex?

There's really only one way: let it evolve!

In the game, there are two ways to evolve Feebas: one is to raise its "Beauty" to 170, and the other is to carry the item "Beauty Scale" and then trade it.

However, in reality, considering the difficulty of obtaining "Beautiful Scales" and the uncertainty of the other party's financial resources, he chose a more reliable method to increase "Beauty". The reason for using the astringent "Zero Fruit" is that increasing "Beauty" requires using astringent energy cubes or Baofen, and he first needs to determine whether this Ugly Fish can accept astringency.

Gastly definitely wouldn't accept that.

Moreover, the method of slowly improving "beauty" is more like a form of "therapy".

If all goes well, perhaps this can serve as theoretical support for writing a paper on the evolution of the pufferfish into Milotic?

Drip!

Just as Jinghe was about to shut down the computer and take Gastly to training, another message popped up.

[Ibrahimovic eating cabbage]: Sorry, I forgot to ask about the cost of this treatment.

cost?

Jing He's eyes lit up slightly.

Yeah, he's not giving Pokémon psychological counseling to students at the school, so he doesn't need to do volunteer work.

However, considering that the outcome of this "treatment" is currently unknown, he thought about it and decided to wait and see.

Don't ruin your reputation before you even make a name for yourself.

[Ibu Eating Cabbage]: I found the account. Sorry, I spent a little more because I've been short on cash lately. I don't know if this is enough; if not, I'll play again next time.

Registering an affiliate account usually requires filling in complete information, so Jinghe's bank card account is not difficult to find.

Looking at the message on my phone: "Your account has received 20000 Alliance Coins, and you have 45000 Alliance Coins remaining."

Jinghe silently deleted the sentence she had just typed, "It's not too late to say anything after we see the results."

That's really too much.

Mewtwo, look at this!
This is just the consultation fee; there is still the cost of follow-up treatment.
"This is the driving force behind my desire to open a psychological counseling center," Jing He murmured to himself.

Looking at the now-dulled "Eevee Eats Cabbage" account again, it felt like seeing a "money tree," the kind that jingles and rattles.

"Gastly!" Jinghe suddenly shouted.

"Kou Jie?!"

Gastly, who was holding its phone, suddenly jolted.
What to do?

ˇˇ)
"Give me your phone, and I'll order two more cases of Moo Moo fresh milk!"

"What?! What?!" Gastly's voice rose three octaves.

Really?!

"Even if we're poor, we can't be poor when it comes to Pokémon. When have I ever lied to you?" Jing He's eyes widened slightly.

Gastly curled its lip, its face full of disbelief.

You told me last time that you shouldn't inhale too much gas, or you'll die if you inhale more than three times.
Jing He: "."

Is this a scam?

It wasn't until Gastly saw Jinghe place two more orders on her phone that it finally believed it.

"Kou Jie?"

Did you win the lottery?
Jing He smiled but did not answer.

"Let's go train."

I will strive to become a registered trainer as soon as possible, and also try to improve my skills as much as possible before the autumn trip.

"Kou Jie!"

Gastly is full of energy.

Sure enough, for food-loving Pokémon, one of their driving forces is food.

Thank you so much to the lovely Baby Tiger Dragon for the 8.3k points! And thank you to the amazing Mengmengda, Fengxue Yiling, Moshang Qingchen 799, Tianhui SGrey, Pingchangxin Shiwo, and many other generous donors!

Hey everyone, stop raising them, please continue reading!
Considering the request for extra chapters from the author "Love's Baby Tiger Dragon," and my previous promise to update more, I'll try my best to update more. However, I might not be able to do it today, maybe tomorrow or the day after. If conditions permit, I'll see if I can maintain three chapters a day. Finally, I'd like to ask for your continued reading; your continued reading is really important for the new book!
