Start with Awakening the Spirit

The next day, three poles in the sun.

Jiang Xiao and Wu Jin made an appointment to buy wilderness survival equipment, backpacks, food, water, and medical supplies at the Elf Supermarket.

Jiang Xiao searched for strategies on the intranet, discussed with Wu Jin again and again, and even consulted Senior Sister He Yuan before finally deciding on the purchase plan.

Afterwards, Jiang Xiao and Wu Jin worked in the elf supermarket for a long time before finally buying everything and filling their adventure backpacks.

Of course, if you are going to the Jade Insect Forest to conquer the Flying Mantis, what can you do without a Poké Ball?

"Currently, I still have one Poké Ball left, and we still need to go to the Yulin County Police Station!"

Looking at the list of materials in my hand, everything has a check mark, except for the Poke Ball, which is still empty!

Poké Balls are controlled items, and every sale of Poké Balls must be registered.

Even if it is damaged, you must hold the damaged Poke Ball fragments before you can apply for a new Poke Ball. The Xia Kingdom has very strict control in this regard and strictly prohibits the leakage of Poke Balls.

Wu Jin asked curiously: "What style are you going to choose?"

Poke balls include classic red and white balls, rich luxury balls, super balls, high-end balls...

There are many types of Poke Balls, but they are mainly divided into functional balls and non-functional balls!

Function balls are balls with various functions, such as healing balls with recovery capabilities, heavy balls that increase the capture rate of heavy elf...

Functional balls are too expensive, and they often appear in auction houses, costing at least 50 each!

Functional balls are not in Jiang Xiao's consideration at all. Only non-functional balls are suitable for him!

"Let's go for a high-end ball!" After thinking about it, Jiang Xiao said, the high-end ball is the best quality among the non-functional balls, and it sells for about [-] yuan, so it is suitable for him.

Because once you really capture the Pokémon, you won’t be able to replace it with a new one in the future, so it’s nice to have a good Pokémon ball in place at once!

"The premium ball is good. It is much more comfortable than the red and white balls, and it is more playable than the super ball!"

Wu Jin nodded in agreement and said that when he wanted to contract an elf, he would also choose a high-level ball, of course, if he did not have a functional ball.

...............

Yulin County Police Department.

When Jiang Xiao and the two walked into the hall, a police officer came forward and asked, "Gentlemen, do you want to buy a Poké Ball?"

Jiang Xiao nodded and answered yes, and the police officer took them to the special counter.

This time of year is the peak season for new people to buy Poké Balls, so the police station has specially opened a special channel to ensure green access.

"Hello, police uncle!"

Jiang Xiao was sitting in front of the reception desk, and the person handling his business was a young police officer.

"I want to buy some Poké Balls. Does the police station have high-end balls now?"

After hearing Jiang Xiao's question, the young police officer searched on the computer and said, "Sir, our police station still has high-end balls in stock!"

"How many do you need?"

Jiang Xiao asked: "What is the price of high-end balls now?"

Jiang Xiao didn't say how many he wanted, but asked about the price of high-end balls. This was very important.

If the price is right, buy more. If the price is not right, just buy two or three.

The young police officer said: "The current price of high-end balls is [-] yuan!"

The price is a little higher than Jiang Xiao thought!

Thinking about the little money he had left, Jiang Xiao thought about it and decided to buy three!

"Apply three for me!"

After confirming the purchase, the young police officer applied for Jiang Xiao, registered information, recorded fingerprints, iris authentication, video recording...

After a series of processes, Jiang Xiao waited for a long time to pay for the Poké Ball, and finally reached the final step of blood certification.

The young police officer took out a special blood-drawing paper and extracted three drops of Jiang Xiao's blood without any pain or itching, directly completing the step of identifying the owner of the blood!

After walking out of the police station, neither Jiang Xiao nor Jiang Xiao had come to their senses. After going through the entire process, Jiang Xiao felt a little numb. Xia Guo's control over the Poké Balls was too strong.

"Is this advanced ball?"

Looking at the high-end ball in his hand, the normal size is a little larger than an adult's fist. It is round and can be reduced to the size of an egg. The bottom is white and the top is black with yellow stripes.

Rubbing your fingers on the high-grade ball, the smooth surface of the ball is like touching a piece of jasper.

Wu Jin held a high-level ball and studied it.

"It's so high-tech. Such a small thing can actually hold an elf in it!"

Wu Jin couldn't help but sigh when he thought that this thing could hold Pokémon like Big Rock Snake.

"The elf ball technology was discovered by the country in the ruins in the secret realm. I really don't know how prosperous the world used to be in the secret realm!"

Jiang Xiao also lamented that if it weren't for the emergence of Poke Ball technology, the situation of mankind would be much more dangerous than it is now!

In the era before the Poke Ball was discovered, although humans could contract elves, a bunch of elves followed them around, which greatly affected convenience.

After the Poke Ball was born, you can put Pokémon into the Poke Ball. If anything happens, one person can easily get on the road, which greatly facilitates yourself.

"No fun, here it is!"

Unable to figure out the reason, Wu Jin returned the high-level ball to Jiang Xiao.

Jiang Xiao casually took the advanced ball, pressed the button in the middle, the advanced ball shrank, and then sucked the advanced ball onto the elf belt.

The Elf Belt is also special. It must be a Poké Ball that matches Jiang Xiao's information before it can be sucked on. It also uses special technology. The Elf Ball cannot be removed unless fingerprint verification is performed.

All three high-level balls are placed!

Seeing that it was getting late, Jiang Xiao and Wu Jin agreed to meet at the entrance of the town tomorrow. The two separated, and Jiang Xiao went directly back home!

The next step is to recharge your batteries!

In a blink of an eye, the next morning came. At nine o'clock in the morning, the morning fog had just dissipated. Jiang Xiao and Wu Jin gathered at the county bus station.

There is a shuttle bus to Yuchong Forest in Yulin County. There is a village outside Yuchong Forest, which was rebuilt from a former strategic fortress.

Jiang Xiao and the two took the shuttle bus. Along the way, they were enjoying the wind and the scenery. Half an hour later, they saw a towering fortress!

Jade Chong Town!

It is famous for producing a kind of jade and having a large number of insect-type Pokémon living there!

This kind of jade contains energy and is one of the raw materials specially used to make jade powder!

Jiang Xiao didn't stay in Jade Chong Town for too long. After getting some information, he began to replace the god's blood, and then entered the Jade Chong Forest.

As a small forest that has been open for a long time, the Jade Insect Forest has been touched by people for a long time, and all the elves in it can be clearly seen.

In order to find the Flying Mantis more easily, Jiang Xiao also bought a forest map and learned about the Flying Mantis' presence!

It is said that it is in the center of the Jade Insect Forest, an area of ​​rubble. The environment there is complicated and ordinary elves are not willing to live there.

The news that Jiang Xiao received was that a traveling friend wandered into the Jade Insect Forest and accidentally arrived there and saw a flying mantis hunting.

The travel friend even took a photo, which is a picture of leaving with the prey.
