Chapter 376 Suo Cailing will always remember this day
Perhaps because he already knew the root of the problem, Luo Mu's expression was particularly serious and solemn.
Suo Cailing shrank his neck a little aggrieved, as if he didn't understand why Luo Mu's tone suddenly became so serious.
It was clearly just acting according to the instinct of the money-seeking spirit clan, working very hard to collect gold coins and moving towards a goal that it was not sure whether it could be achieved.
Lei He and Lime, who were blocked behind Luo Mu, looked at each other and showed thoughtful expressions at the same time.
Is that what happened?
Judging from the results, Suo Cailing did steal many valuable items from the teachers and students of Grape College. Even the important gold ring of the beautiful teacher Mimosa in the infirmary was stolen by it. This is an unchangeable fact.
But if Suo Cailing does not understand that taking other people's belongings directly is considered stealing, then things become complicated.
At least they cannot expect wild Pokémon to have the same morals and values as humans. It is almost common for many wild Pokémon to pick up items that people "abandon here".
In the wild, there are even wild Pokémon that specifically target passing trainers, snatch their backpacks, dig out their supplies, and then take them away directly.
Taking this into consideration, what Luo Mu is doing now is to teach Suo Cailing what he can and cannot do.
Precisely because it is difficult to define whether punishment is needed and the scope of punishment, the importance of education is reflected here.
Seeing the aggrieved and frightened Suo Cailing, Luo Mu's expression softened a little. He took Suo Cailing from Hualiao Huanhuan's vine whip and said softly, "Return these things to their original owners and sincerely apologize to them, okay?"
Suo Cailing did not run away this time. Instead, he made a somewhat muffled "ding ding" sound, and was obviously still struggling with what he had done wrong.
Seeing Suo Cailing's depressed look, Luo Mu felt helpless.
In fact, there is no unified standard in this world for how to deal with thefts such as the Money Looting committed by wild Pokémon.
Perhaps some Pokémon whose behaviors are more extreme and show no signs of correction will be sent to behavioral correction facilities specially established by the Alliance, but they are ultimately a minority.
In Luo Mu's opinion, Suo Cailing should at least have enough room for improvement at the moment, and the situation will not get to that point.
Thinking of this, Luo Mu squatted down slightly, put the money-seeking spirit on the ground, and said to it: "Go find your gold coins. As for the other things, I'll ask Ms. Lime to contact the owner."
Suo Cailing looked left and right, looked at Lime and the tomb dog beside her, as well as the shadow under Leihe's feet with some fear. With Luo Mu's encouragement, he walked into the pile of gold and began to search for his gold coins.
Lime shrugged helplessly and had no objection to Luo Mu's request.
After all, this would make it easier for her to report to Ye Ci.
Lei He's eyes moved between Luo Mu and the money-suoking spirit who was busy looking for his own gold coins, and she said firmly, "Are you greedy for its body?"
Luo Mu: "Don't speak so vulgarly."
"Then you just want its body. Otherwise, there is no need to be a good person and come up with a plan to reduce the seriousness of its mistakes to a minor one."
Leihe was very sure that her reasoning was correct.
Luo Mu looked at her helplessly and said perfunctorily: "Yes, yes, you are right."
At this time, Suo Cailing also found his most important gold coin. He happily held it in his arms, making a tinkling sound of excitement.
Perhaps because more and more students were gathering nearby, after Suo Cailing found her gold coin, she timidly trotted to Luo Mu's feet and tried very hard to crawl into his shoes and hide.
There was no way Luo Mu would let Suo Cai Ling crawl into his shoes, so he carefully picked it up and placed it directly in the pocket of his shirt which was surprisingly the right size for him.
Suo Cailing was immediately surrounded by a sense of security and leaned even closer to Luo Mu's chest.
If an ordinary person behaved like Luo Mu, Suo Cailing would not have let down his guard so quickly.
Perhaps it was the "meeting" at the tilted watchtower before. The goodwill that was planted at that time led to Suo Cailing's trust, making the very timid it willing to take the first step and accept Luo Mu's help.
After lunch.
It is lunch time for teachers and students, but there is a long line in front of Luo Mu's office.
They were all people who had lost items and registered in the academy. After Lyme reported it, Clavel arranged for them to come here to collect their lost items.
The reason why the collection location is in Luo Mu's office is mainly because many items are personal belongings and may have some kind of private nature, just like this pair of best friends in front of them.
Along with the sound of the door closing, two people walked into the room. They were Huangbo, whom Luo Mu had just met in the morning, and Mimosa, the owner of the lost gold ring.
Luo Mu took out the corresponding box from the small boxes that Lime had already sorted out and handed it to Mimosa, who had a surprised expression on her face as if she had found her lost treasure.
"Check to see if the things are right."
Mimosa nodded slightly, pursed her lips, and carefully opened the box that Luo Mu handed her.
When she saw the exquisite gold ring lying quietly in the box, tears flowed from the corner of her eyes. She tightly grasped her important treasure in both hands and cried with joy in Huangbo's arms.
After a while, when Mimosa's emotions stabilized, she gave Luo Mu a faint smile, her sweet voice full of gratitude.
"Thank you for helping me find the ring, Director."
Huang Bo, who was standing by, wiped away Mimosa's tears with a tissue without leaving a trace, and then looked at Luo Mu as if he was a god.
My goodness, she had just told Luo Mu the details of the incident two hours ago, but in less than two hours, the other party caught the real criminal and recovered all the lost properties.
Is this the champion trainer?
This is so cool!
"It's okay. As long as the things can be returned to their original owners, it will be great."
Luo Mu smiled at Mimosa, flicked his fingers at Suo Cailing, who had "received quite a few customers" and was now so tired that he was about to fall asleep, and uttered a few words.
"Get up and apologize."
Suo Cailing was startled and stood up in a daze. He held his beloved little gold coin and bowed deeply to Mimosa, crying out his apology.
"Ding Ding!" (Red bean paste private Marseille!)
No one could imagine that this little man with a strong "craftsman spirit" would evolve into a capitalist Pokémon who throws money everywhere.
Seeing the cute little man bowing to her and apologizing sincerely, Mimosa's cheeks flushed slightly and she waved her hand and said, "I accept your apology."
Huang Bo showed a generous smile and teased, "Don't make the same mistake again in the future."
Just like the many owners who walked in before, after receiving Suo Cailing's sincere apology, they all chose to forgive Suo Cailing and were willing to give it another chance to reform.
After the two men left, the next owner entered the office.
It was not until two o'clock in the afternoon that the queue outside the office was completely cleared, and only one slightly larger box was left on Luo Mu's desk.
Compared to those simple gold products or items of the same color, this box contains the real ancient Padya gold coins that the money-seeker needs.
Their owner is Leihe.
The process was complete. Luo Mu looked at the woman who was sitting in front of him with a smile on her face. She had already received the box and Suo Cailing's apology, but still had no intention of leaving. A hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes. "What else do you want?"
Lei He deliberately asked back: "Can't you stay here if nothing happens?"
"I'm going to go back now. If you have nothing else, please leave."
Luo Mu stood up, looking like he was going to chase someone away.
Lei He stopped being naughty instantly, she restrained her smile a little and pushed forward the box in her hand, which made a sound of gold coins colliding with each other as she moved.
"Can you give me a price?"
Luo Mu's gaze first fell on the box pushed by Lei He, and then on Suo Cailing, the little guy who chose to close his eyes and not be affected by external temptations after this lesson.
After pondering for a while, Luo Mu took out his mobile phone and said, "Wait a moment, I'll check the market price."
Lei He: “.”
Looking at Luo Mu typing on his phone very seriously, Lei He's brain was almost overloaded.
No, buddy, are you really checking now?
You've directly exposed your status as a rookie. Aren't you afraid that I'll just raise the price?
Luo Mu ignored Lei He's hesitant expression and typed a message carefully, then sent it to Zhi Huixing on the farm.
He didn't want to go through such troublesome things as checking the market price by himself. Instead of working hard for a long time and still not being able to finalize it, it would be better to ask professionals for help directly.
After Luo Mu sent the message, Zhi Huixing soon received a reply.
Looking at the number given by Zhihuixing, Luo Mu raised his eyebrows slightly and said directly: "Fifty thousand Alliance Coins per piece."
Thinking about how much the price should be, whether to ask for too much or not, Lei He: "."
No, how did he figure out his own psychological expectations directly?
Lei He suddenly felt that she could no longer understand Luo Mu, so she closed her eyes and pretended to be thinking.
There were a total of 25 ancient Padyan gold coins in the box. They were the spoils left over from her last tomb raid before she came ashore, and she had never had time to launder them.
Such a small coin is worth 50,000 Alliance Coins, and 25 coins are worth 1.25 million Alliance Coins. Even as an antique, the price is very expensive.
However, the reason why the price of Padya gold coins remains high is that they are too difficult to obtain.
Ancient Padyan gold coins are only found as burial objects in some ancient ruins and tombs, just like the tomb she and Luo Mu went to before. It is very difficult to take them out easily.
How did Luo Mu figure out the specific value in such a short time, or was he just playing himself?
Lei He swallowed the price she had in mind, looked at Luo Mu and Suo Cailing, smiled and said cheerfully, "Deal, the boss is generous!"
Luo Mu paused, and said to Lei He with a strange expression: "I thought you would bargain with me again."
"That's enough. I'm not a greedy person. Besides, the client this time is an acquaintance of yours." Lei He waved her hand casually, picked up the pen on Luo Mu's desk, wrote down a number and handed it to him, "Just transfer the money to this account."
"it is good."
Luo Mu took the piece of paper and nodded slightly. Even though he spent a lot of money in one go, he didn't even frown.
Before leaving, Leihe pointed at Suo Cailing, who had consumed too much courage and energy and had fallen asleep holding his gold coins, and asked, "Are you really going to collect the ancient Padya gold coins and try to evolve them as the legend says?"
Lei He didn't understand. At present, the research community could not give an answer as to how the money-seeking spirits should evolve. Perhaps collecting gold coins was just their hobby and had nothing to do with evolution.
Luo Mu spent such a huge price to purchase the gold coins, and even because of the loss of items in Suo Cailing's "treasure pile", he could only compensate the registered owners with an equal or higher price.
Is all this really worth it?
Lei He, who thinks she only cares about profit, is very confused.
“That’s the plan at the moment.”
Luo Mu did not deny Lei He's statement. He finally met a money-seeking spirit that got along well with him. He really intended to train one to be a rich man.
As for the money to buy ancient gold coins, the income from the farm is now enough to support me to "spend a little money" without being too excessive, not to mention that according to the description in the illustration book, Sai Fuhao is a Pokémon that can really "spend money".
Besides, this little guy is indeed destined to be with me.
After passing through the tilted watchtower in the hot desert, he can meet it again in this grape academy. Luo Mu thinks that since the fate has come, he must seize it.
After Lei He left, Luo Mu asked the butler Zhi Huixing to transfer the money to her account, then he poked the little person who was sleeping soundly.
When the bubble of sleepiness was burst, Suo Cailing was still a little bit tempered, really just a little bit.
It opened its eyes angrily, wanting to see who was disturbing its sweet dream, but found twenty-five glittering ancient Padya gold coins piled in front of it.
Almost instantly, Suo Cailing's eyes lit up and he subconsciously wanted to move the ancient gold coins forward, collect them all, and hide them in a place that only he felt was the safest.
But at this moment, the previous memories quickly came back.
Suo Cailing's movements froze halfway, and he silently suppressed his restless hands, turned his head away and stopped looking at the golden coins.
Suo Cailing: (〃>_<;〃) Be patient!
"What are you doing? They are all yours now."
Luo Mu's voice suddenly sounded from above his head.
"Ding?"
Suo Cailing was stunned, and looked up at Luo Mu, who had been silent until now, with confusion in his eyes.
Luo Mu pushed the twenty-five ancient Padya gold coins toward Suo Cailing again and said with a smile, "Would you like to come with me? From now on, you should stop running around and stealing other people's belongings."
"Let's collect gold coins together from now on. When you have collected 999 coins, you can evolve."
Suo Cailing looked up at Luo Mu in a daze, not knowing whether it was because the lights in the room were too glaring or because of his emotions.
Suo Cailing felt the corners of his eyes getting wet. Unprecedented emotions washed over his soul, causing his cries to tremble.
"jingle!"
Putting down the only gold coin that had accompanied him through many hardships, Suo Cailing moved his short legs, trotted across the desk to Luo Mu, and directly hugged his hand.
Feeling the warmth brought by the palm of his hand, Suo Cailing rubbed it again and again with his little face somewhat greedily, and bubbles representing happiness kept popping up on his head.
Suo Cailing thought that it would probably remember this day forever.
I met a soft-hearted trainer, who brought me a new home when I was wandering around and couldn't find a place to stay (treasure chest), corrected my mistakes, and promised to collect 999 Padia ancient gold coins with me, becoming the richest man that every money-seeker dreams of evolving into.
It's really lucky.
