Chapter 420: Preparations Before Leaving
However, in terms of typing, they weren't very suitable for Hikaru's Pokémon.
Choosing them wouldn't be very meaningful.
It was better to choose Zacian's sword. If he gifted it to Zacian in the future, perhaps he could gain a good relationship with it.
"Mhm~"
Sakura (Xiao Ye) didn't delve into it, just stared intently at Hikaru with her beautiful eyes.
Hikaru knew very well what she wanted.
He soon locked his gaze on a pitch-black meteorite.
This stone was about the size of a millstone.
[SS+ Secret Treasure – Cosmic Ore. Contains immense radioactive Dragon-type energy. Rumored to be Rayquaza's favorite food.]
"This one is risky to handle, child?"
Over there, seeing the secret treasure Hikaru and Sakura (Xiao Ye) had chosen, Gong Hui couldn't help but remind them.
Most secret treasures from space carried radioactive energy. This energy was harmless to Pokémon, but for humans, if used to make energy cubes, improper handling could introduce radiation into the human body, leading to various diseases.
"Rest assured, Chairman Gong."
Hikaru took out his expert-level breeder certificate, "Professional handling!"
Gong Hui suddenly remembered that Hikaru was indeed a breeder.
But he hadn't expected him to be at the expert level.
The younger generation is to be held in awe, truly to be held in awe!
Pan Shanyu, who was selecting his own secret treasure nearby, felt his mouth twitch, then immediately thought it was normal.
When it came to Hikaru, seeing anything out of the ordinary was understandable.
Hikaru smiled and immediately released Gardevoir.
The meteorite inside was wrapped in a layer of specially made transparent plastic.
Such an item definitely couldn't be handled by hand. It required psychic power, then wearing a protective suit, followed by slow cutting, and adding some neutralizing secret treasures, to make excellent Dragon-type energy cubes that could significantly speed up a Dragon-type Pokémon's growth.
Such a large piece; Hikaru was already contemplating how many energy cubes he could make.
"Gardevoir..."
Gardevoir, having not seen daylight for a long time, looked at Hikaru, who was asking for its help. Feeling somewhat helpless, it could only carefully wrap the meteorite with a layer of psychic power to prevent leakage, and then put it into the spatial backpack.
"Thank you for your hard work, Gardevoir."
Patting its head, Hikaru recalled it again.
Since he had chosen this meteorite, Hikaru also found some excellent SS-rank Berries to eliminate the radiation energy in the meteorite.
Speaking of the mildest Berries in effect.
That would naturally be the "vibrant" Changchun Fruit.
Hikaru spent 2.1 billion and also took down that five-hundred-year-old batch, a total of ten Changchun Fruits.
Later, with Sakura (Xiao Ye), he returned to the second room and went on a mad shopping spree for the secret treasures inside. Most of them were Berries or consumable secret treasures, spending his over ten billion quota until only 660 million remained...
When leaving the Spiritual Medicine Bureau, Hikaru still felt a bit dazed.
In one day, he had gone from a ten-billionaire back to a hundred-millionaire.
And his backpack was filled with various secret treasures scavenged from the second-floor room.
The reason for such frenzy was because Hikaru knew that the secret treasures placed in the Spiritual Medicine Bureau's vault were, in terms of rarity, one could say, unobtainable by chance.
Usually, the secret treasures the Spiritual Medicine Bureau could take out from the second-floor room were put up for auction to attract popularity.
Now that he could choose freely, it was better to choose more.
After bidding farewell to the ceremonial lady Shen Chu, Sakura (Xiao Ye) immediately linked her arm with Hikaru's. And the first thing she said wasn't about buying many things, but looking at him doubtfully, "Bro, do you know that ceremonial lady?"
Hikaru's heart skipped a beat. He thought his purchases this time were actually very normal, and his interaction with Shen Chu was just a normal transaction.
Sakura (Xiao Ye) could tell they actually knew each other?
Looking at Sakura's (Xiao Ye) questioning gaze, Hikaru nodded, "Mhm, when I bought secret treasures before, she was in charge of Psychic-type secret treasures. After a few interactions, we got to know each other."
"No wonder..."
Sakura (Xiao Ye) looked at him warily.
This piqued Hikaru's curiosity, "How did you tell we knew each other?"
If Sakura (Xiao Ye) had Aura power, it would be understandable, but the problem was Sakura (Xiao Ye) only had Aura power. (TN: The original text has a contradiction here, implying she has Aura, then questioning how she'd know without it. It likely means she doesn't have the same sensory Aura as Hikaru). How did she figure out they knew each other?
"A woman's intuition, hmph!"
Sakura (Xiao Ye) unlinked her arm from his and walked ahead lightly.
What a joke, that woman was staring at you the whole time, how could I not tell you know each other?
Hikaru, left behind, couldn't make heads or tails of it...
...
After returning home.
Hikaru first took out all the secret treasures bought from the Spiritual Medicine Bureau from his backpack and arranged them in order.
Xue Nai, who had been waiting at home, her eyes were dazzled. She covered her slightly agape mouth with her hand, looking at this scene in disbelief, "There are so many?"
Although she also knew Hikaru had won a lot of prize money in the Youth League,
She hadn't expected there to be this much.
The entire floor of a room was almost completely covered, and the strength of these secret treasures all looked very powerful.
"You're so amazing! Junior Brother."
"Heh heh..."
Hikaru smiled with considerable self-satisfaction, an indescribable joy in his heart.
It was like "a man works hard to earn money outside, and when he comes home, his wife says 'you've worked hard'?" He felt as if all the day's fatigue had vanished.
Actually, love is just that simple.
You care about me, I care about you.
"These are prepared for you."
Hikaru pointed to a portion of the secret treasures.
"I get some too?"
Xue Nai was somewhat surprised. Actually, she knew Hikaru wouldn't forget her, but seeing Hikaru actually consider her when choosing secret treasures, she still couldn't help but be moved.
She was also a breeder. Although her level wasn't high, she could still sense the terrifying energy levels within them.
These secret treasures, at a glance, were all very good...
"Heh heh... of course..." Hikaru replied with a silly smile.
Xue Nai again felt her question was somewhat redundant and couldn't help but lean close to him and give him a kiss.
Sakura (Xiao Ye) saw this, took Xue Nai's hand, and went to her own room, saying as she walked, "Don't mind Bro. He met another very pretty older sister outside today..."
This made Hikaru's smile abruptly stop. He shrugged and focused his gaze on the secret treasures.
He allocated all the secret treasures according to everyone's various Pokémon and also had to plan which secret treasures they would need at each stage.
This was a big project.
He then went into the room, had Sakura (Xiao Ye) and his senior sister, as well as his own Pokémon, come out one by one, and then set up a usage plan.
Apart from eating a little lunch in between, Hikaru threw himself wholeheartedly into this project.
Actually...
He was also making preparations to leave Kyoto.
Once he embarked on his journey, there wouldn't be as much time to deal with these things.
At that time, he would also have to deal with matters concerning his investigator identity.
At this moment,
Inside Sakura's (Xiao Ye) room...
