The leaf stone is necessary for Dandan to evolve into the "Coconut Egg Tree".
This type of evolutionary stone is generally priceless and unmarketable...
Even though the technology and transportation in this world are very developed, and various Pokémon-related industries are very complete.
However, evolutionary stones are still in a state where "it is difficult for buyers to find sellers" and "it is difficult for sellers to find buyers" all year round!
Firstly, because the output of evolutionary stones is often not large, and there are not many Pokémon that need evolutionary stones; secondly, there is no artificial production or stable collection method, and it depends on luck; thirdly, it is the evolutionary stone in this world.
, has a strong timeliness, and the farther away from the place of production, the easier it is to fail.
Kanto is considered to be the area with the largest production and trading volume of Leaf Stones - "Kanto Flower" and "Big Food Flower", the two common Kanto illustrated Pokémon in Viridian Forest, both require Leaf Stones to evolve. At the same time,
Kanto also has the Viridian Forest, a place rich in grass-type energy...
However, because the location where the leaf stone is formed is not fixed, and it will turn back into an ordinary stone within a few days after it is formed, it is difficult to form an industry.
This means that "evolutionary stones" often do not have a stable market. They are only occasionally traded in some places where they are often produced...such as Maple Leaf Town!
"Do you have any misunderstanding about the price of the Leaf Stone? Although the price of the Evolution Stone fluctuates greatly, if a transaction is completed, the price usually fluctuates between four and five million... and sometimes it can even exceed one million if it is too popular!"
Xiaoxia emphasized.
In terms of prices in this world, the most basic Pokémon wound medicine costs about 300 yuan in a regular store, an ordinary Poke Ball costs about 200 yuan, and a luxury set meal at a fast food restaurant costs about 500 yuan...
In terms of income, white-collar workers in the six major cities earn around 300,000 yuan a month. In other small towns, it is normal for ordinary people to earn more than 100,000 yuan a month.
However, if there is a skill - for example, there are construction workers with "Construction Master", housekeeping with "Rotom", and programmers with "Metrogross" who can fix bugs...
The income is definitely several times higher than that of peers!
In comparison, the "leaf stone" is by no means cheap, but it is just a pain in the ass - just a few months' salary. After all, this thing has a limited validity period, and the seller must also consider that being too greedy may lead to "drawing water from a bamboo basket".
"Didn't I tell you that I am a pharmacist? As long as the price is normal, I should be able to work hard for half a month..." Eminem said seriously
"No, no, no, even if you are a pharmacist, working part-time for half a month is still too optimistic... Are you a third-level or second-level pharmacist?" Xiaoxia denied repeatedly.
"Level 1." Eminem said truthfully.
"How is it possible..." Xiaoxia was surprised and doubtful at first, and then asked: "Really?"
If she hadn't seen Eminem's usual seriousness in the past two days, she would have thought that Eminem was joking!
"Anyway, the certificate is first-class." Eminem shrugged.
"You mean...false certificate?" Xiaoxia's outlook was shocked. In her impression, the alliance's professional level certificate was still very authoritative.
"No, I mean, the level should be expert level." Eminem rolled his eyes.
"Hey! You are so powerful, why don't you take the expert level exam?" Xiaoxia felt that this sentence must be a joke.
"Registered, there are still more than three months left." Eminem said matter-of-factly.
Xiaoxia:……
A person who usually looks very serious looks like this, so Xiaoxia doesn't know whether what he said is true or false, but... it should be true that he has a first-level pharmacist qualification!
"It is said... that a first-level pharmacist can easily earn several million a month?" Xiaoxia looked a little obsessed with money.
"It's not that exaggerated. It may be possible to be directly employed by those big consortiums, but now I can only buy raw materials from Guladu Store, process them into potions, and then recycle them to Guladu Store to earn a price difference.
"
Guladu Group occupies a high market share in various resource commodities.
Eminem estimates that if he works by himself, from 8 to 5, with a month's weekend off, he can still earn a million dollars - after all, he has a first-level pharmacist certification, and the Guladu chain store will accept it... but the profit will definitely be relatively small.
If you are a first-level pharmacist who opens a store on the ground and has a more stable and affordable purchase channel, and hires one or two more people to open a store and sell by yourself, it will not be a problem to double your income.
If you consider it entirely from the perspective of income, if you give up your "freedom" and accept employment from a large consortium, you will actually earn more.
However, for Eminem when he was traveling, he could only do odd jobs and be exploited by major chain Pokémon stores.
"That's right. It is said that the recycling prices at Guladu stores are very low." Xiaoxia also denounced the Guladu Group.
"After all, they mainly rely on their own production, and the acquisition is just a side trip... Maybe they would rather have pharmacists 'sell themselves' to them?" Eminem obviously has no idea of "selling himself".
Of course, this is a "first-level pharmacist" - although Eminem is confident that he has expert-level skills, he has not yet been certified after all, and it is difficult to find channels for expert-level medicines.
Expert pharmacists can not only use tree fruits to prepare potions for combat, but each expert is often unique and has his or her own unique skills.
What's more, there are not even a thousand first-level pharmacists in the entire Quartz Alliance, but there are hundreds, and there are only a dozen or so expert-level pharmacists!
No matter how many consultants you name, they are not comparable to a first-level pharmacist. It can be said to be a qualitative leap.
…
After Eminem and Xiaoxia arrived in Maple Leaf Town, they first went to the Pokémon Center.
Even though it's a small town, this Pokémon can't be kept busy by only three or two people with Joey at the front desk.
Not only is the area large, but it also has four floors, with the upper three floors being guest rooms for trainers to stay.
There was no sign of Joey at the front desk either...
This was Eminem's first time renting a house. Based on the idea of "there is no shame in not knowing", Eminem took the initiative to ask Xiaoxia for advice.
Sure enough, Xiaoxia immediately proudly showed Eminem what a "veteran" is, and skillfully demonstrated the process of using the Pokémon Pokédex as a newbie to get a room for free - even though she had just started traveling less than three months ago.
!
"Your room is No. 208, get the room card." The staff at the front desk handed over the room card.
Eminem took it and asked by the way: "Is there any leaf stone for sale in town recently?"
"Sorry, I'm not a trainer, so I don't know very well." The young lady at the front desk only gave a helpless smile.
But at this moment, there was a trainer behind him who looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, and he took the initiative to say: "If you want a leaf stone, you can try asking Old Man Ye. He seems to have got one recently. As long as
If you can please him, he will give it to you...but his temper is quite strange."
"Ask Mr. Ye?" Amu was stunned when he heard this. This name felt like it could hit ten people.
"Ask Ye?" Xiaoxia exclaimed in shock. Seeing Eminem looking over, she immediately pretended not to know anything: "Uh... what a strange name, hehehehe..."
"Well, I live in a tree house on the east side of the town... After you go out from the east exit, the tree is very conspicuous." The young trainer told Eminem the location of the other party.
Eminem put his luggage in the room, washed himself again, and then headed to the east of the town.
What he didn't expect was that Xiaoxia also tried her best to follow - thinking of her reaction just now, it seemed...she had known something about Mr. Wen Ye before?
But seeing that she didn't want to say anything, Eminem didn't ask any more questions.
Since she didn't even know that Old Man Ye was in Maple Leaf Town, and she still seemed surprised, she probably had just heard of it before...
