MTL - Not a Trainer This Time-Chapter 282 Coin Carrying Man (4k)

Chapter 282 The Coin Carrying Man (4k)

That night, Naoki moved the three oak barrels of fruit wine to the Pokémon Tavern.

With the arrival of business hours, Pokémon from the town came to the tavern one after another.

Zhi Shu was wiping the wine glasses on the side, while his younger sister, the waiter, entertained these guests enthusiastically.

 “爱噫～”（welcome～）

 When the two monsters saw Naoki coming here today, they couldn't help showing surprise expressions on their faces.

Zhi Shu glanced at them and asked: "There is something new in the pub today, do you want to have a drink and check it out?"

 “Nike?” The monsters stared at him with big eyes.

 Zhi Shu introduced the three newly arrived barrels of fruit wine to them:

"These are wines made from tree fruits. The one on the left is peach wine. It tastes sweet and has the effect of curing poisoning."

"The one in the middle is made from cherry blossoms. It has a spicy taste. If you drink a glass of it in winter, your body will warm up quickly. At the same time, it also has the effect of curing paralysis. If you are hit by a grass-type Pokémon, If you drink a cup of paralysis powder and electromagnetic waves from electric Pokémon, you will be healed immediately.”

"The barrel on the right is made from pomelo fruit. Its taste is sour and sweet. If you drink a glass of it when you are tired, your physical strength will be restored quickly!"

 “Ni Ke!”

 Hearing these effects, the monsters looked surprised.

They looked left and right, a little unsure of what they would drink today.

Seeing this, Naoki asked: "Did you go out to work today?"

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　.

 The monsters shook their heads. It snowed heavily recently, and Kelly took a vacation. She stayed at home to rest instead of going out to work.

"That's it!" Naoki turned around and took out two wine glasses: "Then I recommend you try cherry fruit wine. It's the best drink in this weather."

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

The two monsters happily agreed. The distance between the pasture and the town was not very close. They had to walk for a long time every day, and the muscles on their bodies had long been frozen hard by the cold wind and snow.

Zhi Shu poured them two glasses of cherry fruit wine, and the two monsters also took out a coin from under their golden belts and placed it on the table.

 There is no doubt that this is the cost of their drinks today.

After paying the money, the monsters carried the cherry wine to the wine table and tasted it slowly.

  Naoki observed their appearance.

After taking the first sip of the fruit wine, the two weirdos’ faces immediately turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

  Immediately afterwards, they began to gasp fiercely from their mouths.

 “Ni Ke!” (Spicy! So spicy!)

However, at this moment, one of the monsters suddenly felt that his body was getting warm quickly.

 And the spicy feeling in the mouth is not as obvious as before, but there is a feeling that people are still unsatisfied.

』

Zhi Shu looked at this scene with a smile. He said to his sister Ai Guanshi on the side: "It seems they are used to cherry fruit wine!"

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

 Zhi Shu then picked up the coin given by Guai Li.

At first, he thought it was a small-denomination Alliance coin, but when he saw it clearly, he realized that it was not an Alliance coin at all, but an ancient gold coin!

 The gold coins are printed with strange and gorgeous patterns, which make them very precious at first sight.

If it were gold coins, this would be worth a lot of money!

Zhi Shu was greatly surprised. Where did the two strange powers get it?

Thinking about it, Naoki asked.

Hearing this question, one of the monsters felt warm all over and answered happily:

 “Nike.” (We picked it up in the corner of the warehouse.)

"Warehouse? Keli's warehouse?" Naoki immediately thought of the big room behind Keli's workshop.

The monsters nodded: "Ni Ke~" (Yes~)

Zhi Shu was speechless: "...could this be something passed down to her by Keri's ancestors?"

Hearing this, the two monsters also understood what Naoki meant.

They shook their heads quickly: "Nicky, nicky!" (No, it didn't exist before! We just saw it in the warehouse yesterday, and Keri gave them to us and asked us to come to the tavern to buy wine!)

 "That's it..." Naoki nodded thoughtfully.

This is a bit strange, it didn’t happen before, it just appeared yesterday...

 Suddenly, the name of a Pokémon appeared in Naoki's mind.

Solicit wealth!

 That's a Pokémon born from the passion that seeped into the coin!

They will always wander around with a gold coin on their backs, hiding in various places in the Padia region, but as soon as they feel someone approaching, this Pokémon will run away immediately.

 Because of this, it seems that no trainer in the Padia region has successfully captured it.

 Is this coin the coin of Suo Cailing?

Zhi Shu has never seen a Pokémon like Sucai Ling, so he is not sure for a while.

 After thinking for a moment, he placed the coin in a conspicuous place on the wine rack.

If it is really the coin of the fortune-seeking spirit, then the fortune-seeking spirit will definitely chase after it to retrieve the coin.

At this time, another Pokémon guest came to the tavern.

Naoki stopped thinking and began to help his sister, Aoi, entertain these Pokémon guests.

After getting busy, he forgot about the coin.

 Gradually, the night got darker.

The guests left the tavern one after another. Naoki closed the tavern and returned home with Gu Ledun and his sister Ai Guan, who had been waiting for him.

 After washing themselves, they turned off the lights in the room and went to bed to rest.

After all the lights in the pasture went out and everything fell silent, a little boy who had been hiding in the dark and was only ten centimeters tall came out of the corner.

It first carefully observed the surrounding situation to see that there was no danger, and then came to the wooden house and raised its head to work on the huge wooden door in front of it.

　　It leaned down and walked through the crack in the door into the dark room, and immediately saw the shining gold coin placed high on the wine shelf.

"Ding!"

This Pokémon let out a cry of joy, then climbed onto the table with great effort, and jumped onto the wine rack with a powerful leap.

 It carried the coin back on its back, then looked left and right, and finally disappeared into the darkness with the coin on its back.

   *

 Early the next morning, Zhi Shu, who was having breakfast, suddenly remembered the coins he got from Guai Li yesterday.

So after finishing breakfast, he immediately rushed to the tavern without stopping.

Hush the door open and look at the empty wine rack.

 Gone!

The coin is missing!

Zhi Shu opened his eyes wide. He clearly remembered where he put the coin when he closed the door last night!

 And now…

 It must have been the Suo Cai Ling who lost the coin and took it away!

At this time, the dreamy bear cub who followed him here suddenly noticed a series of small footprints on the snow.

 They hurriedly called to Naoki: "One!"

Zhi Shu turned around and noticed a string of small footprints extending from outside the pasture to here.

 According to the footprints, the owner of the footprints entered the tavern, but there were no footprints leaving.

 This means that the money-seeking spirit has been staying in the tavern ever since!

"Knew it!"

Whether in the form of a treasure chest or on foot, Pokémon like the Sorcerer likes to lurk in the corners of warehouses or item shops, where they rarely encounter people or Pokémon.

 The money-seeking spirit in the walking form is fine, but the wealth-seeking spirit in the treasure box form is often mistaken for an antique by people, and is therefore taken away or sold to antique shops.

 Meng Meng and Baby Bear are still studying the footprints.

And Naoki has figured out who the owner of the footprints is.

 Obviously, it is a walking fortune-seeking spirit.    Speaking of the Wealth Spirit, this is a very special Pokémon both ecologically and in terms of evolution.

 They were born during the Kingdom Period about 1,500 years ago, from the enthusiasm of ancient explorers and treasure hunters that seeped into treasure chests and gold coins.

 And the way it evolves is also unique.

 That is, you need to collect 999 ancient gold coins of the Kingdom of Padia to evolve into a Saifuhao.

999 ancient gold coins. This evolution condition is too harsh. Most people cannot achieve it. Even some wealthy people will have to spend a lot of effort to collect all these ancient gold coins.

Zhi Shu was curious in his heart and wanted to meet this special Pokémon.

He walked into the tavern and scanned every corner of the tavern, but he did not find Suo Cailing.

Seeing this, Naoki began to seek help from Mongol.

“Hero, can you use your superpower to help me explore the room? I always feel like there is a strange aura hiding here.”

Hearing this, the helpful dream readily agreed.

 “miu!”

 It flew to the tavern and closed its eyes, and then released a wave of superpowers from its body.

Immediately afterwards, layers of transparent ripples rippled in the air.

 Fantasy superpowers cover the entire tavern,

Everything here is invisible to its detection.

 After a moment, Dream opened its eyes, turned around, and flew to the cabinet under the bar.

  “miu?”

Is it there?

Zhi Shu quickly stepped forward and carefully opened the cabinet door under the gaze of Meng Meng and Baby Bear.

Immediately afterwards, they saw a small figure in the cabinet. The Pokémon was nervously hugging the gold coins in its arms, half of its body hiding in the darkness.

 “Wow!” It’s really Suo Cailing!

 Naoki's eyes lit up instantly.

 Meng Meng and Baby Bear also looked at this Pokémon they had never seen before with a curious look on their faces.

However, this money-seeking spirit showed a panicked expression.

It was startled, quickly dropped the gold coins in its hand, turned around and started running away.

 Naoki: “…”

Now he finally knew how players got their gold coins in the game.

 Seeing Suo Cailing running away, Baby Bear and Meng Meng were also shocked.

They looked at Suo Cailing in confusion, and the baby bear tried to call it out: "One!"

 However, it is of no use.

Naoki: "...It's useless. The characteristic of the Suo Cai Ling is to escape. As long as it doesn't want to be caught, it can definitely escape."

  “miu…”

 Meng Meng didn’t understand why this Pokémon ran away.

Zhi Shu had already chased him out of the door and shouted outside:

"Suo Cailing, you don't have to be afraid, we don't mean any harm! I won't take away your gold coins, just leave them here! You can come and get them at any time, and we welcome you to stay in the tavern. If you don't want to, We won’t bother you anymore!”

Zhi Shu didn’t know if Suo Cai Ling heard it. After he put the coins back in their place, he and Gu Ledun started to work on today’s snow shoveling work.

 Meng Meng and Baby Bear began to play in the pasture.

 They are ready to rest in the pasture for a while before going out for travel.

 Zhishu said that the Chinese New Year is coming soon.

 For humans, the Chinese New Year is a day for family reunions. No matter where the other person is on that day, they will rush home to be with their families.

˜Baby Bear likes such festivals very much, so he and Dream decided to wait until the New Year is over before continuing the expedition’s trip.

While Zhi Shu and Gu Ledun were working, Meng Meng and Baby Bear came to the glass flower house to explore.

Here, they saw a Pokémon with a big head and loving eyes.

Yesterday, King Lei Guan was not at the ranch. He rode the ghost horse to the back mountain to pray for the lost Pokémon, hoping that their souls could rest in peace.

 So Baby Bear and Dream haven’t seen King Lei Guan yet.

After seeing these two little guys, King Lei Guan was a little surprised at first, and then smiled at them.

“I am King Lei Guan and a friend of Naoki. I am very happy to meet you.”

“One?” Baby Bear blinked and tilted his head to look curiously at the Pokémon in front of him.

 Meng Meng felt a hint of Yggdrasil from the Pokémon in front of him.

It understood instantly: "miu" (It was you who cultivated the World Tree!)

Hearing this, King Lei Guan was a little surprised. He didn't expect this little Pokémon to feel it.

King Lei Guan nodded slightly: "Yes, I did it. The World Tree is the source of life. I am honored to be able to participate in it and help it grow."

 The baby bear was very surprised: "What!" (So awesome!)

 Meng Meng's eyes widened slightly, and then a happy smile appeared on his face: "miu!" (We will also help together!)

King Lei Guan smiled slightly. Just as Meng could feel his ability, he could also feel the ancient and vigorous aura and energy of the Pokémon in front of him.

This Pokémon named Mew is obviously not as weak as its petite and cute appearance.

　　On the contrary, it is an ancient Pokémon that has existed in this world for a long time.

Thinking of this, King Lei Guan raised his hand to summon the Kesi Pot and Lai Bei Tea, and sent out a tea party invitation to Baby Bear and Dream in front of him.

 “Want to have a cup of tea?”

 Meng Meng and Baby Bear blinked, and then agreed happily.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

  “miu～”

   *

 In the afternoon, Zhi Shu took time to go to the pub.

He opened the cabinet door under the bar and was shocked to see that the ancient gold coin he had placed inside was gone.

 Obviously, the money-seeking spirit came back here again and carried the gold coin away.

 I don’t know if it heard what I said before...

After some thought, Zhi Shu invited the hero to help him investigate.

 Meng Meng once again released his super power.

 After a moment, it opened its eyes again and fixed its gaze on a more hidden corner.

 Zhi Shu asked in a low voice: "Is it still there?"

 Hong Kong Dream nodded: "miu!"

Zhi Shu breathed a sigh of relief, it’s okay if he’s still here.

 This at least means that Suo Cailing heard what he said before.

This volume is almost over, and so is the first half of the book. Zhu Zi’s DLC has been released. I finished the plot yesterday and managed to find some key information. The follow-up plot is confirmed, and the outline of this book is finally finalized. It’s ready, happy!
