Chapter 82 Iron Shrimp
After hanging up the call with Jun Shaqi, Qingyuan continued walking towards the Silver Company's shopping mall.
Calling Jun Shaqi was just a minor incident.
He still needs to spend a few million Alliance Coins at the mall before boarding the ship to continue his journey.
……
When Qingyuan came out of the mall, his extremely low aura caused people around him to unconsciously keep their distance from him.
"My money~ Waaah!"
Qingyuan stood in front of the mall, looking up at the sky, hoping to ease the pain of Xiaoqianqian leaving him.
Silver Company's stuff is really too expensive; just one 100,000 Volt skill disc cost him 1.2 million Alliance Coins.
Other miscellaneous items, plus the fact that he upgraded another set of equipment.
This trip alone cost Qingyuan over two million Alliance Coins.
Half of Qingyuan's fortune was spent just like that.
Fortunately, these things can quickly improve the strength of Scorpion and the others, so Qingyuan can accept it.
After securing the spatial backpack to his body, Qingyuan took the boat ticket and headed towards the Kuye City dock.
The ticket Qiao Yiran gave him was for a ship called the Iron Shrimp.
Based on the name alone, Qingyuan had enough reason to guess that the captain must have an iron-clawed lobster.
Otherwise, it's impossible to explain why a ship would be given such a rugged name.
The Iron Shrimp was a ferry that traveled between the Kanto and Hoen regions.
Its main job is to transport goods, but when there isn't much cargo, the captain of the Iron Shrimp will also take a few passengers.
While earning a little money, these passengers also provide some entertainment for the crew during the monotonous voyage.
As soon as Qingyuan boarded the ship, he saw a crew member shouting loudly on the deck with a megaphone.
"Our captain plans to hold a competition during the voyage to Lampurchi!"
"The competition will last for three days, and the top three winners will receive a mystery prize prepared by the captain!"
Upon hearing this, Qingyuan immediately became interested in the competition.
Because the Iron Shrimp was also carrying some cargo, its sailing speed was slower than that of cruise ships that were mainly for sightseeing.
The Iron Shrimp takes about four days to travel from Kuye City to Lampurch.
Participating in a competition during this tedious voyage seems like a way to alleviate the boredom.
So Qingyuan walked straight toward the crew member who was shouting through a megaphone without any hesitation.
After successfully registering with the help of the crew, Qingyuan returned to his room on the ship.
Upon entering the room, Qingyuan's first action was to replace the Poké Balls of Gliscor and the others with Ultra Balls.
"How about Scorpio?"
"Which ball feels more comfortable, this one or that one?"
Qingyuan released Scorpion from the Advanced Ball and asked with a curious expression.
Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Scorpion quickly pointed at the Advanced Ball with his pincers.
"Grumble grumble! (This feels so good, so good!)"
Seeing this, Qingyuan smiled, patted Scorpio's head, and said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, I got it. As long as you're comfortable here, then my money wasn't wasted!"
Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Scorpio happily jumped around in the room a couple of times.
After putting away Scorpion, Qingyuan gave the 100,000 Volt skill disc to Cat Boss.
There are still four days before we arrive at Lampurch. These four days will be just enough time for Cat Boss to stay on the ship and fully learn 100,000 Volts.
In that case, by the time they return to land, Cat Boss will have almost mastered the 100,000 Volts.
Qingyuan still had some ideas about the Tentacruel in Lampridge that had grown to a giant size because of the Rockets trio.
If he can successfully capture it, he can contact Professor Oak sooner.
Of course, if he can't catch them, he can use this skill to gain some advantage in the riot of the stinging jellyfish.
With so many stinging jellyfish, no one would care if he caught a few of the better ones in the chaos.
If he remembers correctly, the Iron Rhino should also be able to learn Thunderbolt.
Qingyuan couldn't remember the specifics clearly, but he did remember that the armored rhinoceros could learn to generate thunder.
If you can learn to strike thunder, then you can definitely learn to strike a 100,000-volt armored rhino.
The problem is that the armored rhinoceros is a bit slow-witted.
Although he may be slow-witted, it doesn't mean he lacks comprehension; the armored rhinoceros may very well be a genius at learning skills.
However, Qingyuan couldn't help but worry about the Ironclad Rhinoceros when it came to learning skills across disciplines.
Moreover, if it learns this skill early on, the armored rhinoceros might even be able to help it when capturing giant jellyfish.
"What method can we use to quickly teach the Armored Rhino to use 100,000 Volts?"
Qingyuan sat cross-legged on the bed, looking at the Rhyhorn's Poké Ball, and frowned as he thought.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him, and the characteristics of the Ironclad Rhinoceros Lightning Rod entered Qingyuan's mind.
It has the Ground and Rock attributes, and its ability is Lightning Rod.
This makes Rhino immune to most Electric-type moves.
So, if the cat boss were to chop down armored rhinoceroses dozens or even hundreds of times every day...
Could the armored rhinoceros learn this skill simply because it deeply experiences the power of 100,000 volts?
The more Qingyuan thought about it, the more feasible the plan seemed.
Moreover, while splitting the armored rhinoceros, Cat Boss can also use this opportunity to practice his 100,000-volt technique.
"Snapped!"
"I have a plan that kills two birds with one stone. I'm so clever!"
Qingyuan clapped his hands, sat on the bed, and said excitedly.
Meanwhile, the armored rhinoceros, who was enjoying a more comfortable living environment in the advanced ball, suddenly sneezed.
Then it suddenly felt a chill down its back.
"Huh? (What's going on? The Poké Ball is leaking air?)"
"Hoo-ha! (No, next time I go out, I have to talk to Qingyuan and ask him to get me a new Poké Ball!)"
After calling out twice, the armored rhinoceros drifted back to sleep.
I have to say, the high-end ball is just more comfortable than the red and white ball!
After packing his things, Qingyuan left the room and went to the deck.
It was already 11 o'clock, lunchtime.
After asking the crew members a few questions, Qingyuan went to the ship's restaurant.
The interior of the restaurant looks just like a buffet restaurant.
You can choose any food you like at Qingyuan, but you are not allowed to waste any.
Because the buffet restaurant is free, the Iron Shrimp provided meals for the entire four-day voyage.
Qingyuan strolled around the restaurant and found that the lunch was quite plentiful.
The ship's chefs prepared a variety of meats and fruits in a way that was both visually appealing and delicious.
It even has delicious elven ingredients like barracuda and sardines.
As Qingyuan picked up a piece of mullet fillet, he secretly grumbled to himself.
"With the captain cooking like this, can a single ship ticket even cover the cost?"
