Chapter 121 The Victims

In the afternoon, before setting off, Luo Mu occasionally checked his mobile phone and accurately found the message from Terry among a pile of messages.

After reading it, Luo Mu took a breath and blurted out "Fuck!"

What on earth did Terry do to make the white fluffy cotton wool, which cost 6000 Alliance coins per pound, be sold at such a high price?
[Mr. Luo Mu, the auction of white fluffy cotton wool has come to a successful conclusion. This auction attracted many interested bidders. The cotton wool was successfully sold at a price higher than the market price. The following are the specific details]

[In the first round of auction, the starting price of one kilogram of cotton wool was 4000 Alliance Coins and the transaction price was 7500 Alliance Coins. In the second round of auction, the starting price of one kilogram of cotton wool was 4000 Alliance Coins and the transaction price was 9000 Alliance Coins. Thanks to the small batch of cotton wool auctions that heated up the atmosphere, please don’t be surprised to see the subsequent amounts.]

[Three rounds of auctions of three kilograms of cotton wool, the starting price is 15,000 Alliance coins for three kilograms, and the transaction price is 33,900 Alliance coins. The last round of auctions of five kilograms of cotton wool, the starting price is 30,000 Alliance coins for five kilograms, and the transaction price is 73,000 Alliance coins. The total auction amount is 123,400 Alliance coins, which has been transferred to your account, please check.]

This is exactly double the 60,000 Alliance Coins that Luo Mu had initially expected. Even if the white fluffy cotton wool is a little rare in the Padia region, it shouldn't be such a huge profit.

Thinking of this, Luo Mu called Terry. This man had not accepted any thank-you gift since he had saved the other party before, so he took this opportunity to secretly add some money to the money.

As a result, Terry actually sent him the video of the auction scene, in which the bidders in suits were arguing with each other and almost got into a fight.

Terry even sent a message with great pride: "The person in charge of the clothing manufacturing factory behind the Aldi clothing store also came to bid. They were the ones who won the five kilograms of cotton wool."

Luo Mu looked puzzled and typed a reply: "But, with the doubled auction money, we can also transport cotton wool from the Galar region by air, right?"

Terry replied immediately: "You are mistaken. They are willing to pay a high price for the white fluffy cotton produced in Padia, and I helped to encourage them."

Luo Mu: "Add fuel to the flames?"

Terry, who was holding his phone in Zhqin Town, froze for a moment, secretly cursing himself for letting the cat out of the bag, and quickly tried to make amends: "They also specially found a professional appraiser, who concluded that the quality of the cotton wool is very good. They also wanted your contact information for in-depth cooperation, but I refused."

Luo Mu typed quickly: "You did a good job!"

The cotton wool from the Pokémon he sells is the cotton wool that falls naturally from them. Once you pick it actively, it will consume the nutrients that the Pokémon need for growth. Exchanging the health of the farm Pokémon for money goes against his original intention.

He had been saving these ten kilograms of cotton wool for a long time and had no ability to guarantee the supply. Not giving him a chance from the beginning was the best decision.

On the other side, Terry's eyes lit up when he received the news. He was praised by his benefactor!

Although he was excited, he still replied with reserve: "This is what I should do."

After finishing the conversation with Terry, Luo Mu once again confirmed whether he had forgotten anything: "I have brought all the equipment, cleaned up the garbage, and the Poké Balls of Deere and Haxorus are also on me!"

Accompanied by a gust of wind that pressed down the vegetation on the ground, Luo Mu took off on Dragonite.

After flying over the Daguo Lake, at Luo Mu's signal, Dragonite did not fly to a higher altitude that was more suitable for rapid flight, but instead maintained a suitable flying altitude.

At this height, even Luo Mu can observe the conditions on the ground with his naked eyes, which is suitable for finding Pokémon.

Yes, he still had some hope, thinking that he might meet some Pokémon suitable for the farm on the way back. But he didn't see many Pokémon, but he saw a student lying in a puddle, soaking wet, and seemingly unconscious, in the wild of West Second Area, some distance away from the Cauldron Lake.

As for why Luo Mu was so sure that the other party was a student, it was naturally because of the Orange Academy uniform he was wearing.

Under Luo Mu's command, Dragonite landed quickly and rescued the face-down student from the puddle. Luo Mu first reached under his nose, and after feeling it carefully, Luo Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, I still have some energy.

After finding an open flat area, Luo Mu carefully put the student down and gave him a quick look up and down.

The boy was a little older than Nemo and the others. His short flaxen hair was made dirty by the muddy ground. The Orange Academy uniform was even more so, covered in mud and dirty water, making him look particularly disheveled.

But these were not the worst. When he picked him up and moved him a short distance, Luo Mu could clearly feel that his body was unusually soft, as if there was something wrong with the bones somewhere.

The boy's breath was a little weak, but he had no obvious external injuries.

Taking all these factors into consideration, Luo Mu judged that the boy might have been attacked by some extremely powerful wild Pokémon.

In a flash, Luo Mu made the decision.

First he released the Flower Therapy Ring, and Luo Mu said seriously, "Please use the Flower Therapy to stabilize his physical condition first."

Flower therapist Huanhuan felt very distressed when she saw the weak boy, so she used flower therapy techniques to stabilize the boy without saying a word.

Luo Mu also investigated the surrounding environment at this time. Because it had just rained, the ground was very moist, so it was relatively easy to find the criminal's footprints.

About ten meters away from the puddle, on a path leading to a woods, Luo Mu found the boy's somewhat messy shoe prints and a circular footprint.

Luo Mu frowned and squatted down. After careful observation, he concluded: "These are the footprints of a bear Pokémon. They look like tundra bears, but the area around here is either a scorching desert or a cauldron lake. They don't meet the living conditions of tundra bears."

"Could it be a cygnus? But cygnus prefers to attack with its claws, and its footprints aren't that round."

Unable to figure out who the criminal was, Luo Mu simply gave up.

After all, now is not the time to worry about the identity of the criminal. Knowing that the boy was most likely attacked by a powerful bear Pokémon, the next step is to take him to the nearest hospital for treatment.

The nearest town was Ziqin Town. Luo Mu remembered that there was a suitable hospital there that should be able to treat the boy.

After making the decision, Luo Mu carefully picked up the boy and sat him on the back of Dragonite, allowing Dragonite to fly as steadily and quickly as possible. Flower Therapy Huan Huan used flower therapy techniques to maintain the boy's condition and prevent his injuries from getting worse.
