Pokémon: All Pokémon

“Fortune points can increase the player’s luck in the dungeon and help the player win the project. There is a high possibility of suppressing players with low luck, thus affecting the final direction of the game project.”

The crowd watching the fun had long dispersed. They all stayed away from Shi Yun and his companions. In order to make it more convenient for them to fish without being disturbed, they stayed more than ten meters away from Shi Yun and his companions. Fortunately, the pond was big and wide enough, and there were many fishing spots.

But on the contrary, it also provided Shi Yun and others with a relatively safe space for conversation.

Shi Yun's fingers gently kneaded the bait. The mottled sunlight under the shade of the trees sprinkled on his hands. The skin on the back of his hands and the palms was in sharp contrast. His fingers were slender, and his fingertips were sticky with a little Moo Moo Milk mixed with the egg white of Jelly Egg (provided by the organizer). He fixed the bait on the fishhook, into a round ball the size of a fingernail.

"Yes, so now basically no one will participate in multiplayer projects. They are afraid of meeting a player with better luck than themselves."

Shi Yun threw the fishhook in his hand. It was not perfect, but it was pretty good.

The hook hit the water with a gurgling sound.

"Then how do we earn Yuanqing coins now?" Lu Jianming looked at Shi Yun's hand holding the fishing rod and tightened the fishing rod in his hand and asked.

There are very few single-player events, and you need to queue up if you want to participate, which is a waste of time.

The two-person projects are almost the same, and the Yuanqing coins earned are much less. Projects with more people are not cost-effective and are losing Yuanqing coins.

Shi Yun looked at the water surface. Two goldfish were hovering near his fishing line. He unconsciously lowered his voice: "That's naturally a side quest..."

As if in response to Shi Yun's words, a broadcast echoed in the sky and throughout the entire park:

“[Ding Dong~ Side Quest 28: Snorlax’s Lunch (Only) has been completed!]”

"Ah this?"

"Hiss! Who is so awesome..."

"..."

There were bursts of surprised noises coming from nearby. Two side quests had already been snatched up, and the atmosphere in Yuanqing Square became a little tense. Everyone wanted to grab a side quest. After all, that was the best way to earn Yuanqing coins at the moment.

“【Side Quest 2: Participate in the river fishing activity and catch a large crab (only one) has been completed!】”

Another broadcast sounded. Shi Yun frowned and quickly looked in one direction with Lu Jianming.

Not far away, the lake water was churning and swollen, and a light brown hard-shelled crab was pulled out of the water. On the shore, a middle-aged man was pulling a fishing rod with all his might. The metal fishing rod was undergoing horrible deformation, like a curled willow branch, and it looked as if it would break in the next second, but it just couldn't break, and stubbornly hooked this ordinary-grade large-clawed crab to float out.

At this moment, the man didn't care about exposing his strength. He shook his wrist, a beam of red light appeared, and his elf appeared on the shore.

"Stop standing there! What the hell are you doing? Come and help me! You useless piece of shit!"

The man gritted his teeth, using all his might, and cursed at the top of his voice. Veins bulged on his neck and sweat broke out.

This giant crab is of ordinary high level. Not to mention its thick shell, even without counting its legs, its body is larger than a 56-inch display screen.

The man's spirit was an ordinary intermediate-level arm force. As soon as it was released, it quickly hugged the man. The words he just said were to his teammates.

A thin man next to him finally came to his senses and helped him pull the giant crab.

The two of them and one elf were working hard, and everyone around them was watching coldly, with no intention of stepping forward to help.

After all, even if you help him, you may not get any Yuanqing coins.

"Try harder! Can you please use some strength to get it out? Damn it, I didn't give you any food to eat, did I?"

"He's trying his best! Ah!"

"Waste, ah!"

The giant crab's body left the water, and the two people and the elf lost their balance and fell to the ground.

They succeeded.

But, it's not so easy to complete the side quest, Shi Yun thought silently as he watched.

Considering the difficulty of his side quest, this giant crab also offers the same 50-yuan celebration coin reward, and can even increase luck by 5 points. Is this just a test of strength?

Shi Yun suddenly thought of something and looked at the giant crab that was caught ashore.

The crab waved its huge claws and rolled over, turning itself over. The next moment, it crawled towards the man.

It's a battle. Shi Yun understood that catching a Pokémon while fishing will trigger a battle!

Most people caught nothing good, just a few Magikarp, which didn't make any waves, so everyone ignored them. The Pokémon caught also need to be fought.

Everyone exclaimed that this giant crab was a little too fast and its size was also larger than that of ordinary giant crabs.

The man hadn't wiped the sweat off his forehead yet when he saw the big crab crawling towards him. Its sharp claws could easily break his neck. He froze in place, unable to utter a word.

"Loach, throw mud! Come back to your senses! Get up and fight!"

It's the man's companion, who owns a loach, a blue-gray loach Pokémon as thick as an arm. No wonder he didn't call out to help pull the fishing rod just now.

Lao Hao's arms were shaking, and he obviously hadn't come back to his senses. However, his wrist strength was more reliable than his. He rushed forward and followed the loach to attack the giant crab.

……

Shi Yun remained silent and withdrew his gaze. The battle over there had somewhat affected his side, causing ripples on the water.

He pulled the fishing rod back, and one of the baits on the hook had been bitten, while the other remained as it was.

He kneaded the bait again and coated it with more egg liquid to make the aroma more pleasant.

Shi Yu said: "Brother, let's..."

"No need to take action. The announcement was made when the giant crab was hooked, which means that the Garden Celebration Square has already determined that he has completed the mission. It doesn't matter whether we try to grab the giant crab or not. There will be no rewards for the side quest."

"But, brother, it looks like they can't beat the giant crab."

Indeed, the two elves have fallen into a disadvantage. The loach is okay, but the arm force has a fighting awareness, but its abilities are not up to standard. Although it is an ordinary intermediate level, it is definitely a level that is piled up with resources. Facing a fierce ordinary high-level elf, it is good enough to be able to survive.

Lu Jianming didn't want to watch any more and said, "If they don't give up the fight, they might die."

Yes, side quests are far from being as simple as they seem, and death is the truth hidden behind all side quests.

The loach's trainer also saw the problem. With only his loach, he would never be able to defeat the giant crab. The man next to him usually neglected to train his Pokémon. He joined the team because of his relationship. He relied on the resources allocated by the team to break through to the ordinary middle level a few days ago. If he had the resources of this man, he would have broken through to the high level long ago. If he was not afraid that he would report to the captain, he would have ignored him and run away.

Just as I was thinking about how to persuade the man to leave and give up the giant crab, I saw the man struggling to run back with his hands and feet, and he did not forget to retract his wrist that was hit several meters away by the giant crab's bubble beam. "Run, run... run!"

The thin man quickly took back the loach and chased after the man.

The giant crab lost its target, looked around, and saw that the man who caught it had walked away, so it jumped back into the water.

"Wow."

Seeing that the lake was gradually calming down, Shi Yun threw the fishing hook back into the water.

On the other side, the arm wrestling trainer was standing beside the organizer of the competition, arguing with him fiercely.

"What do you mean I've been eliminated? Are you trying to blackmail me?"

"Sir, it is expressly stipulated that..."

"What kind of bullshit rule is this? If I don't catch any fish, will I be eliminated?"

"No, sir..."

"If it's not you, then return my deposit. I won't compete anymore!"

"Sir, you're out."

"When was I eliminated? The fishing rod is by the river, it's not damaged, you can go get it yourself. The deposit is 20 yuan, return it to me!"

"Sir, the rules of the fishing competition state that no one may touch another person's fishing gear. Once touched, both parties will be deemed to have automatically given up the competition. The deposit is non-refundable, sir."

"..."

"It's all your fucking fault! You're such a wimp and useless. I'll ask the captain to fire you!" The man felt humiliated and even started scolding his teammates.

“……” The trainer of Mudfly was also very angry, but he still wanted to stay in the team and get more resources. If he left the team, it would be really difficult for him, so he could only swallow his anger, turn a blind eye and keep his mouth shut.

The two men walked out frustratedly and headed towards the center of Yuanqing Square.

The man spat viciously, and after a few breaths, he spit out his grievances, and laughed cruelly: "Damn it! Fortunately, the rewards for the side quests have been issued, so I still have some money to earn. You just wait to be kicked out of the team, you have not contributed anything at all!"

"Really? The side quest has been sent out, right?"

The man turned around when he heard that, his face looked a little unhappy. He didn't know when this person came behind him, and there was more than one person.

The two or three people were obviously a team. I only heard that person say, "I challenge you!"

It was public knowledge that the man's arm strength was weak, and the three people on the opposite side were there to guard against the man's refusal.

Two rays of light flashed by, and the two figures on the ground disappeared.
