Pokémon: The Climb

After staying outside for a while and watching a few games, Yang Yan quickly lost interest.

"Fighting on the field is no longer suitable for me. I don't feel passionate... I'll find a place to settle down first."

As the venue for the conference, of course, there are free dormitories for players who have signed up for the assessment near the venue, and a small number of relatives and friends are also allowed to stay together.

If Yang Yan wants to, he can naturally live in it. But considering that he has many things to do, he still thinks it would be better not to live with his parents.

"I don't know if there are any free rooms in the hotel now..." Yang Yan looked around while looking.

There is still a long time before the end of today's battle assessment. Considering that his father is either preparing to play or observing the opponent in the stands, and his mother is probably accompanying him, Yang Yan thinks it is better not to disturb them yet.

"It should be too late to help dad study his opponent later!" Yang Yan said confidently.

Most of the people who sign up for the gym leader assessment have quasi-king strength, and only a few are at the king level.

There is no need to say much about the gap between the Heavenly King level and the Quasi-Kingdom. Therefore, the Heavenly King-level trainers can directly participate in the second round without having to compete with many Quasi-Kings for qualifying spots.

Of course, the advantage that the Heavenly King can have is only in the first round. Whether he can successfully pass the assessment in the end depends on his performance in the next two rounds.

"By the way, my impression of dad's strength is still from when he was in school. I don't know how much he has improved now? I have to take a good look at dad's games later!"

Understanding the enemy is important, but understanding Dad's strength cannot be ignored.

He didn't know how the Pokémon he had given to his father had grown, and how many of them could be used.

While thinking about it, Yang Yan also asked many hotels, but they all said that there were no available rooms.

"Is it possible to go to the mission hall and ask?" Yang Yan had a headache.

Sometimes there are some rental information hanging in the mission hall. Considering the special characteristics of Higaki City, Yang Yan, who had no results, finally chose to try his luck.

In the end, he actually found a villa that was being rented out. Looking at the pictures, the decoration is very good, including gardens and pools.

The only drawback is the price, which is almost two or three times the normal market price. This must be the owner of the house taking advantage of the opportunity to deliberately raise the price.

"Two million a month? What's the difference between this and robbing money!" Yang Yan slammed the table angrily.

Although he had just made a fortune from Team Plasma, 200 million was not a small sum, and Yang Yan did not want to be taken advantage of.

"Trainer, I'm so sorry, we don't have any other houses for rent." The waiter apologized at the side.

"Forget it, it's not your problem." Yang Yan didn't want to embarrass a waiter, so he thought about it and decided to wait and see.

There will be a group of winners and losers in the venue today, and the losers may choose to leave. It shouldn't be difficult to find a place by yourself. If that doesn't work, it's not too late to stay in the contestant village.

But just as he was about to leave, Yang Yan suddenly heard a shout from behind.

"Sorry, please wait!"

"Are you calling me?" Yang Yan pointed at himself.

"Yes, this friend is looking for a place to live, right? I can help you!"

Looking at the man with glasses in front of him, who didn't look like a trainer but looked like a businessman, Yang Yan stopped curiously and asked, "Do you have a house to rent?"

The man smiled, "It's not for rent, it's for sale!"

"Sell?" Yang Yan said amusedly: "Do you think I'm easy to deceive? Who would sell a hen that lays golden eggs?"

"My friend, I'm not lying to you." The man pointed to a place where there was no one around him, "How about we go over there and talk?"

"Okay, who gave me the time? I just want to listen to what you have to say!"

"I won't let you down!" The man adjusted his glasses confidently.

Walking to the side, the two sat across from each other.

The man took out a stack of papers and lined them up one by one.

Yang Yan discovered that every piece of paper contained information about a house.

Small bungalows, residential buildings, and large villas are all available. Looking at the prices marked above, surprisingly, they are all lower than the market price.

Yang Yan remained silent, silently waiting for the man to perform.

The man said in a low voice: "How about it, my friend? The price of my houses is fair, right?"

"Tell me, what's the specific situation?" Yang Yan was too lazy to talk nonsense.

"It depends on your friend's intentions. I won't hide it from you. The reason why the prices of these houses are relatively low is because they are not normal houses."

"Of course, when I say abnormal, I am referring to the issue of ownership."

"As a trainer, you must also know that it is not uncommon for trainers to have accidents in the wild. After these trainers have accidents, the houses left behind will be taken back by the alliance. However, due to taboos, few people are willing to take over."

"In addition, just because the Alliance cannot contact the owner of the house, it does not mean that the person is really dead. Maybe he just wandered deep into the uninhabited wilderness. He might come back one day. At that time, the old and new owners will inevitably want to A lawsuit over the ownership of the house..."

Yang Yan crossed his legs and said clearly: "Is this the kind of business your Excellency is doing? That's it!"

He knew that the man had a lot to say. If Yang Yan hadn't been well-informed, he might have been fooled by him.

This business of men does exist and exists in all regions. On the surface, they are a group of people who help the alliance handle the trainer's assets after his death.

If certain houses, cars and other assets have not been seen by their owners for a long time, the alliance will indeed recycle the assets.

For example, if Yang Yan does not deal with the properties and future plans that Mr. Xi has purchased for himself in various places, they will be confiscated by the alliance in about 5-10 years.

The alliance has a special department to do this.

And it is true as the man said, the owners of some houses may indeed come back one day.

But it is not easy to get your things back.

Yang Yan didn't go out of his way to get to know or come into contact with such people. He only heard people talking about them by chance when handling trophies, but he didn't expect that he would meet one of them in the mission hall today.

The people in this department apparently work for the alliance, but in fact most of them are involved in the underground world.

In the underground world, people are accustomed to calling them "asset custodians"!

What they keep is not only the trainer's legacy, but their main job is to provide a place for people in the underground world to survive and trade.

It can be said that the shadows of these people can be seen more or less in the black markets in various towns.

The price of the house in their hands is indeed low, but accordingly, it is difficult to say whether it is safe. It may be "robbed" by passing gangsters one day.

"Do you think I look like a 'newcomer'? I'm actually being targeted by an 'asset custodian'..."
