Elf: Starts with small diamonds, then mutates into Diancie.

Cui Wenyao explained the various functions of the gravity chamber to Su Hao.

Basic abilities include increasing gravity, while more complex abilities include launching projectiles to attack Pokémon that are difficult to move under heavy pressure...

......

Under Cui Wenyao's guidance, Su Hao visited many training facilities with varying effects.

There's a weather shop where you can "work" with Pokémon that know weather moves and are fed on campus at Shanghai University.

The weather house occupies a very large area and is divided into several areas.

The Sunny Zone is a 24-hour area where Pokémon with the Sunny Day move take turns maintaining a sunny state. It has abundant Fire and Grass-type energy and is also very suitable for Grass-type Pokémon to train through photosynthesis. It also has a remarkable effect on helping Pokémon of these two types train Fire and Grass-type moves.

In addition, there are rainy areas, sandstorm areas, snowfall areas, thunderstorm areas, etc...

There is also a flight simulator room where Flying-type Pokémon can fly freely and train Flying-type moves. Although it is called a simulator room, it is actually a huge plaza with no roof and artificially created airflow.

Here, Flying-type Pokémon can fly freely, fight against air currents, and train Flying-type moves.

Next is the last one, which is also a newly built facility at Shanghai University – the Electric Room.

There were many other facilities further away. Since it was already 7 p.m., Su Hao told Cui Wenyao that he would come back to visit the Electric House next time after he finished looking at it.

"This is the Electric House, which was recently completed and is not open to the public yet."

Cui Wenyao led Su Hao to a huge venue marked with electrical symbols.

As if worried that Su Hao might find the facilities at Shanghai University inadequate, Cui Wenyao explained, "This newly built Electric House is different from other training rooms that are powered by Pokémon or electric generators. It uses a strange crystal stone from the Electric Grand Canyon, a new terrain formed by the fusion of secret realms in the United States League recently, for its power supply."

"These crystal stones called tourmaline store a large amount of electricity. If there are enough tourmalines, they can form a very stable magnetic field that releases current. This current is of very high quality for Electric-type Pokémon, much stronger than artificially created current."

"The electric house is still being tested, and the current intensity generated by the magnetic field formed by different numbers of tourmalines is being measured to ensure that no accidents occur."

"Right now, we're still conducting small-batch verification; many of the ordered tourmalines haven't been delivered yet..."

After Cui Wenyao finished explaining, he looked at Su Hao, his eyes seeming to...

Ask him if he has any other questions.

He asked curiously, "What kind of place is that Electric Grand Canyon?"

Although Cui Wenyao didn't understand why Su Hao cared about the Electric Grand Canyon, which was far away in the United States Alliance, he still explained diligently: "The Electric Grand Canyon is a new terrain formed after a town and a secret realm in the United States Alliance were completely integrated. The canyon is full of this tourmaline, which forms a special magnetic field that will damage any mechanical or electronic products that get close to it."

"Throughout the canyon, electric currents of varying intensities frequently occur, making it extremely dangerous. At the same time, this canyon is also a paradise for wild Electric-type Pokémon, attracting a large number of Pokémon that feed on electricity."

After a moment of contemplation, Su Hao's eyes lit up. This magnetic field and electric current environment was perfect for the Blazing Roaring Tiger to train its body!

He was excited for a moment, then felt a little disappointed.

After all, he can't go into either the Electric House, which is not yet open to the public, or the Electric Grand Canyon in the United States.

Looks like I'll have to wait until I get back to Yangcheng and honestly find Pikachu and Magneton to give Incineroar electrotherapy...

Cui Wenyao was unaware of Su Hao's thoughts. After leading Su Hao away from the still-unopened electrical room, he arrived at the gate of Shanghai University.

"Su Hao, are you really not going to rest here? It's so late." Cui Wenyao tried to persuade Su Hao to stay.

Su Hao shook his head; he decided to go back to the hotel to rest.

Cui Wenyao didn't insist, since he and Su Hao had already arranged to visit the breeding house at Shanghai University the day after tomorrow.

"Alright then, there's a taxi right here, you can take this one back."

Cui Wenyao waved, and a taxi that had been waiting for a long time quickly drove up to them.

This was a taxi that his colleague had arranged in advance to take Su Hao back to the hotel.

"Okay, then I'll be going. I'll call you before I come the day after tomorrow."

After getting into the taxi, Su Hao rolled down the window and waved his phone screen at Cui Wenyao.

Cui Wenyao's phone number has already been saved on the screen. Su Hao will call Cui Wenyao in advance before his visit the day after tomorrow.

......

As night fell, the taxi carrying Cui Wenyao's important bonus drove away. He wearily rubbed his head and sighed, "I still have a meeting to attend..."

Sometimes, being a corporate slave is just like that—it's beyond our control.

"However, they're starting to discuss the entrance bonus for Su Hao again. Has he done something extraordinary this time?"

"The previous plan already included a pseudo-god cub as a bargaining chip... and he seems to already have a pseudo-god cub, and it's even a hetero-colored one..."

Chapter 165 Su Hao on the Verge of Bankruptcy

Lying on the hotel bed, Su Hao counted on his Incineroar's fingers: "Now, Draco Mesia needs to consume one Dragon Gem and one Ghost Gem every day. The berries given by Hydreigon are almost gone, and the Power Cube reserves are almost depleted."

"Dragon Gems cost 50,000 Shenzhou Coins each, and Ghost Gems cost 45,000 Shenzhou Coins each. Considering that life energy becomes increasingly difficult to recharge as it progresses, the three million Shenzhou Coins I currently have will only last Little Dragon for a month, even if I feed it all. In fact, it might not even last as long as Little Dragon's absorption capacity increases along with its strength..."

Su Hao felt a sudden itch in his abs. He withdrew his hands from the Blazing Roaring Tiger's paws and pulled the mischievous Doron Mesia out of his t-shirt and placed it on his head.

"Speaking of which, it seems that when Diancie was still a little diamond, she didn't consume any resources at all, yet her strength skyrocketed. Perhaps it was because she had Xerneas's power within her..." Su Hao turned to look at Diancie, who was practicing her shaping ability even while watching TV.

“Mildane has had a portion of the power of two red and blue aircraft sealed into her by her older brother and sister. This power is far superior to the resources available on the market. Now, she only needs to be provided with normal food.” Su Hao looked at Milotic, who was floating near the ceiling.

In a sense, Latios and Latias have already taken care of all the resources Milotic needs for its growth...

After all the calculations, it turns out that Milotic and Incineroar, which only consume Energy Cubes and Candies, are relatively more economical...

Strength doesn't just grow out of thin air; besides energy cubes, he also needs to find rare and powerful resources to provide to Diancie and the others.

"In the end, I'm only good at spending money, not making it. I need to find a way to make money..."

Some people may appear glamorous on the outside, able to take on ten opponents in the arena and even single-handedly defeat the main player of the Magic University team, but in reality, they are going to be eaten out of house and home by Pokémon (sad).

Big Tiger couldn't stand these words. Blazing Roar Tiger stared at Su Hao in shock, his tiger eyes wide open.

Our family is going to be unable to afford food!?

Su Hao didn't notice the Blazing Roaring Tiger beside him, who was looking aggrieved and retracting its palms, with an expression that seemed to say, "Maybe I should eat less of it in the future." He continued to frown and ponder.

Acquiring Dragon Gems and Ghost Gems is also a problem. These items in the League Shop are often sold out as soon as they're put on the shelves. Last time, thanks to his father's connections, he managed to get two of the two types of gems from the Gym's warehouse, but only two of them are left...

Gems with the three attributes of water, fire, and grass are found in many mountain ranges. As the most basic attributes, these three types of gems are easy to form, so they are the cheapest and have a large supply and output.

Secondly, there are slightly rarer gems. For example, the Steel Gem has a chance of being found in places rich in minerals, while the Flying Gem is easier to find in dangerous places with cliffs and precipices.

The origin of ghost gems is quite mysterious. Some say they are produced in graveyards or near tombstones where ghostly energy is strong, while others say they are produced in the legendary spirit world.

No new dungeons have appeared in recent years, and the amount of resources naturally generated is insufficient to meet the demand. Most of the mines have been almost fully exploited, and prices are constantly rising.

Every year, more and more new generation trainers embark on the path of becoming trainers, while the older generation of trainers are also consuming resources.

This is why countries all over the world are paying so much attention to the upcoming arrival of a new secret realm near the high seas, and have even proposed regulations to determine resource allocation through battles.

In short, it all boils down to four words: no resources.

"And then there's this, tourmaline..."

Su Hao played with the yellow crystal in his hand that occasionally emitted a "weak" current of 220 volts, which made his palm feel slightly numb.

These were the things Cui Wenyao brought from the electrical shop before he left Shanghai University, looking quite hurried.

At the time, Cui Wenyao carefully instructed Su Hao that this thing must be properly insulated before contact, otherwise the current emitted by just one tourmaline stone would be enough to threaten the human body.

He solemnly handed over the tourmaline with its impeccable protective measures to Su Hao.

He had only shown a little interest in the fact that the university in Shanghai had actually given him a tourmaline.

"There's no way to buy this stuff right now; it's completely monopolized by the American alliance. I wonder where Shanghai University got enough tourmaline to build an electric house..."

Su Hao called over the Blazing Roaring Tiger, who was standing to the side, looking aggrieved and clenching its fists in a horse stance.

"Big Tiger, let's see if the current and energy inside can be used?" Su Hao tossed the tourmaline in his hand to the Blazing Roaring Tiger.

"Kahoo??"

Incineroar looked disgusted as it touched the tourmaline. The occasional electric current it emitted couldn't even break through its fur's defenses, and it wasn't as powerful as Magneton's Thunderbolt!

Having tried all methods of inducing electrical energy and current, the Blazing Roaring Tiger shook its head at Su Hao, indicating that it couldn't even extract it, let alone absorb it.

The Blazing Roaring Tiger's assessment was: Not as powerful as Thunder Stone.

Su Hao was speechless. What exactly is the structure of tourmaline? Does it really require multiple tourmalines to form a magnetic field before it can be used?

He put away the tourmaline that the Blazing Roaring Tiger had handed him and began to consider his next plan.

Jiang Chengcheng just told Su Hao in the group chat that the opening time of the University Cup is in early June. The preliminary rounds will be held in various provincial capitals to determine the trainers who will represent each province in the knockout stage.

Eight students from Yangcheng High School, including Su Hao, were assigned to Chengdu for the preliminary rounds.

There are still three weeks left, which is plenty of time.

Su Hao planned to finish everything in Shanghai, then say goodbye to his mother and Yibu. He planned to visit Beijing University again.

The High School Cup wasn't a big deal for him; the main concern was the Seed Project knockout stage, which involved the possibility of healing Eevee and the Nirvana Secret Realm where Ho-Oh might be present.

Then it's time for the fifth or sixth Pokémon. If possible, he'd like to get an Electric or Flying-type Pokémon.

Then Miao Yin is also in the capital now. He said that after Su Hao arrives in the capital, he will take him to choose a Pokémon... Now the six slots in the League's records are full. If he wants to increase the number of Pokémon he has caught, he will have to become a professional trainer or make some kind of contribution and achievement to increase the number of Pokémon he has caught.

The Poké Balls in the Shenzhou Alliance do not have the function of recording the data of the Pokémon inside the ball; they can only know whether a Pokémon has been caught in the ball and then upload it to the database.
