Chapter 80 Buying Fruit
After crossing the river, the Pearl City is in front of you. If you follow the river, the end is the blue sea, where countless water elves live.
Legend has it that there are legendary elves in the deep sea, but the ocean is very dangerous and few people can dive deep into it to explore, so until now, there are only such rumors.
After entering Pearl City, Kalia was stopped by a middle-aged man in police uniform. Because Pearl City is a port city and also a tourist city with a very dense flow of people, special identity checks are required to prevent people with bad intentions from entering the city.
Kaliya showed her badge and trainer ID card. Most trainers have official ID cards, and Kaliya’s Bikoloko was provided by the league, so naturally she also had one.
"Be careful during this period and don't let the elves stay outside." The uncle in police uniform kindly reminded. There are gangs that steal elves in every city, but they are generally not as rampant as in Goshawk City.
"Thank you." Kalia nodded, rode her bicycle, and took the Fire Dinosaur into the area of Pearl City.
After entering the Pearl City, Kalia rode along a flat rocky path and saw the buildings of Pearl City.
The buildings in Pearl City are not very tall or densely packed, but there are a lot of people coming and going, most of whom travel by boat from other cities.
It can be seen that they all gathered towards the Ocean Exhibition Hall in Pearl City, ready to visit the rare items in the exhibition hall.
Kaliya was also quite interested in the Ocean Exhibition Hall, but she had been traveling all day and was a little tired. Besides, it was getting late, so it was time to find a place to stay.
There is also an Elf Hotel in Pearl City, but unfortunately, when Kalia went there, it was already full, so she could only go to the Elf Center to see if there were any vacant rooms.
Fortunately, there was an empty room in the Elf Center, so Kalia moved into the dormitory of the Elf Center and rested for a while.
night.
"Charmeleon, let's go to the market and buy some fruit."
After waking up, Kalia looked at the time and saw that it was still early, so she said that there was a market in Pearl City. As a port city, merchants from other cities would come here to set up stalls.
Kalia was going to see if there were any tree fruits that she needed. In order to make the flavor that Charmeleon would like by combining them with the Silkworm Fruit, she needed some sweet tree fruits.
The market is even more lively at night. The whole market is brightly lit, as bright as day, and people are coming and going.
Kalia had never been to Pearl City before, so she planned to take a look at what good things before deciding to buy anything.
Following the flow of people, Kalia observed the vendors and their goods on the street, and found that many of the things were from other cities, such as insect repellent spray. This spray could, to a certain extent, prevent wild Pokémon from approaching. Of course, because it has a peculiar smell, few people would use this spray.
Unless going to some dangerous places, some trainers will bring insect repellent spray and spray it on themselves. It can also, to a certain extent, keep the Pokémon away from the smell of the spray, thus avoiding attacks by the Pokémon.
There is also Sweet Sweet, which is a special sweetness secreted by grass-type Pokémon that releases a sweet aroma, and has the effect of attracting wild Pokémon.
In addition to these, there are also various elf props, some of which are disposable, and some can be used for a long time. The most expensive of them is undoubtedly the elf nutritional drink.
There are six types of nutritional drinks, corresponding to the six abilities of the elves. There are enhanced drinks that can increase the attack power of the elves, and enhanced drinks that increase defense. This kind of nutritional drink is only sold in big cities. One bottle costs 9,800 Alliance Coins, which is very expensive.
However, the effectiveness of nutritional drinks has been proven. They can indeed enhance certain potentials of Pokémon, and the effects are very obvious. In order to enhance the potential of Pokémon, many trainers will choose to spend money to buy nutritional drinks.
Lin Chuan looked at these bottles and cans of nutritional drinks. In the game, this kind of thing really seemed to be able to increase the potential of the elves, that is, the effort value. However, ten bottles seemed to be the limit. One bottle of drink could only increase the effort value by ten points.
Although there is no such thing as effort value in reality, it is actually included in potential. Trainers often say that a Pokémon has strong potential, which is actually something similar to effort value.
Lin Chuan suspected that after the ability value reached the limit, it actually meant that the effort value was full. However, unlike in the game, Lin Chuan seemed to be unrestricted and each ability value could reach the limit, while ordinary elves seemed to be able to reach only two ability value limits at most.
Lin Chuan didn’t know whether other elves in reality could only have two ability value limits at most, but it should be about the same.
"Trainer, would you like a bottle? This is a nutritious drink that can increase special attacks. It will be very helpful for your Charmeleon." The uncle who was setting up the stall saw Kalia standing there watching for a while, picked up a bottle of special attack enhancing drink, and spoke.
Kalia shook her head. Although she didn't know how great the potential of Charmeleon's special attack was, it was obvious that it had reached a very high level. This kind of nutritional drink could only be used when the elf was weak. Once the elf's potential was increased, the effect would not be great.
Not to mention, Kalia was just looking and had no intention of buying. Her target was the auntie selling tree fruits next to her.
"I won't buy it. Thank you, uncle." Kalia apologized, and then walked to the stall next to her, which was filled with various kinds of tree fruits, but most of them did not have special effects and were specially used to make energy blocks.
Lin Chuan looked at these bright and juicy fruits and felt a little greedy. However, although these fruits looked delicious, he knew that many of them were very unpalatable.
"Hello, Auntie, how much is this banana fruit?"
Kalia's purpose was very clear. She pointed directly at a pink fruit. This fruit looked very similar to a banana, but it was pink in color. It looked very good and tasted sweet, but with a slight bitter taste.
The energy cubes made by mixing banana fruit with silkworm fruit are not the best combination, but banana fruit is a tree fruit specifically used to make energy cubes, and it is cheap.
"You have good knowledge, little girl. I've seen many people who don't recognize this kind of fruit. One fruit costs thirty Alliance Coins. How many do you want to buy?" The aunt said when she saw Kalia wanted to buy tree fruit.
"Thirty Alliance Coins, that's too expensive, can it be cheaper?" Kalia frowned slightly.
The stores in Reiner City sell banana fruit, and they only sell it for 20 Alliance Coins. I didn't expect that they sell it for 30 Alliance Coins here. That's too unfair.
The aunt smiled and said, "Thirty Alliance Coins is not expensive. This fruit is very sweet. Elves love it the most. If you let your elf eat it, it will definitely like you more."
Kaliya was speechless. The banana fruit itself was not a rare tree fruit. Many cities sold it in large quantities. This fruit was specifically used to make energy cubes. Kaliya was attracted by its sweet taste and low price.
To cover up the astringency of the silkworm fruit, one silkworm fruit needs to be paired with two portions of banana fruit, so Kaliya must buy a lot.
"Auntie, I'd like to buy all the banana fruits you have, but can you give me a discount?" Kalia thought for a moment and said simply.
When the aunt heard this, she immediately understood what Kalia meant. She sold the fruits at such a high price just to make more money. After all, the sales of the berries were not very good.
"Okay, I have ten fruits in total. I'll sell them to you for twenty-five Alliance Coins each, a total of two hundred and fifty Alliance Coins. How about that?" said the aunt.
"Okay." Kalia nodded. The old lady obviously bought it directly from the store. If she only sold it for twenty Alliance Coins, she might even lose money. Twenty-five Alliance Coins was not unacceptable.
