Chapter 50: Boss, You Are So Humorous
“Boss, you’re really humorous…”
Ouyang Xin awkwardly pursed her lips and smiled. It’s summer, so there’s no need to turn on the air conditioning. Besides, she’s not short on electricity bills.
“So, Boss, is this an Ice-type elf?”
Chen Yun looked at the ‘Ice Cream’ in the Pokedex with great interest. It really looked just like ice cream. And what Guxin had said instantly reminded him of the Ice attribute in elf attributes.
“That’s right, this is a Mini Ice, and it looks incredibly cute, doesn’t it?”
Guxin nodded with a smile, giving a brief introduction to the Mini Ice. The pure Ice-type Mini Ice indeed had a very delicate and cute appearance.
“Moreover, Mini Ice is not just about its charming appearance; it has great potential and is definitely considered excellent among Ice-type elves.”
“The final evolved form of Mini Ice is Double Scoop Ice, and its base stats also exceed 500 in the game, so its strength is definitely not weak.”
“Then I’ll take it, Boss.”
Ouyang Xin blinked her eyes. As a girl, who wouldn’t have a bit of a girly heart?
“Please wait a moment.”
Guxin nodded with a smile and walked towards the private room.
Soon, Guxin came out of the private room, and Mini Ice floated curiously behind him while looking around.
“So cute!”
Ouyang Xin’s eyes instantly lit up, staring closely at Mini Ice.
It can even float, just like the little elves in Western mythology.
“This is Mini Ice. From now on, this young lady will be your trainer. You two should get along well.”
Guxin turned to Mini Ice, who was still curiously looking around and pointed at Ouyang Xin.
“Hello, Mini Ice.”
Mini Ice accelerated slightly and drifted to Ouyang Xin’s front in an instant, gazing at her with its big eyes and emitting a soft hum.
“Hello there, Mini Ice.”
Ouyang Xin’s heart raced as Mini Ice came so close, but she managed to suppress her excitement and greeted Mini Ice warmly.
So delicate, so adorable!
Being this close allowed Ouyang Xin to get a better look at Mini Ice. It was quite small, approximately 0.4 meters tall, and looked like vanilla ice cream. Its pupils were ice blue, and its lips carried a perpetual, heartwarming smile. Its lower body resembled an ice pillar, with small short hands made of ice crystals on either side.
“Mini, Mini!”
Mini Ice’s pupils reflected Ouyang Xin’s face, and after a while, Mini Ice’s big eyes curved into crescent shapes as it happily called out to Ouyang Xin.
Mini Ice’s voice was incredibly sweet and tender, melting Ouyang Xin’s heart.
“So adorable, Mini Ice!”
Unable to resist any longer, Ouyang Xin gently cradled Mini Ice in her hands. A sudden chill rushed from Mini Ice to her hands, making Ouyang Xin shiver.
Wow! So, what the boss said about not needing air conditioning in the summer was true!
“Mini Ice is an Ice-type Pokémon, naturally inclined towards cold temperatures, and it has a very low body temperature, so be mentally prepared when you touch it.”
“Of course, Mini Ice is a Pokémon; if you want to touch it, it will actively suppress its coldness. It’s a very considerate Pokémon.”
After seeing Ouyang Xin’s actions, Guxin slowly approached and offered guidance.
“Also, here are some Energy Blocks, which Ice-type Pokémon like to consume. New customers receive two boxes for free. This is the Beginner’s Handbook, where you can find basic knowledge about Pokémon.”
“As one of the top ten customers to purchase Pokémon, you will receive these two commemorative Poké Balls. I believe Mr. Chen has already told you how to use them.”
“Additionally, this is the Pokémon Pokédex. Would you like one?”
Guxin handed over a series of items, including the Energy Blocks, and finally raised the red Pokédex with a smile, asking Ouyang Xin if she wanted it.
“Of course, I definitely want a Pokédex,” Ouyang Xin replied with curiosity, flipping the commemorative Poké Ball in her hand. How could she resist having a Pokédex, the essential tool for checking Pokémon data?
“The Pokédex is priced at five hundred, and Mini Ice costs two hundred thousand,” Gu Xin smiled.
“Alright.”
Ouyang Xin took out her bank card from her bag and didn’t negotiate because she felt that it was really worth it.
Looking at the little elf Mini Ice floating beside her, a smile appeared on Ouyang Xin’s pretty face.
Such a cute and magical little creature!
No matter how you looked at it, Mini Ice didn’t seem like a normal animal; instead, it resembled an elemental being, which was truly astonishing.
The first thing Ouyang Xin did after receiving the Pokédex was to point it at Mini Ice.
“Ding! Mini Ice, Ice-type, New Snow Pokémon
Ability: Snow Veil
Moves: Harden, Scare, Taunt, Ice Shard
After absorbing the energy of the morning sun, it transformed into a Pokémon and buried its body in the snow to sleep.”
“How amazing!”
Listening to the Pokédex’s description, Ouyang Xin looked at Mini Ice in astonishment. It really transformed from an ice pillar?
“It seems like the customer really likes it, which is the best outcome,” Guxin said with a smile, seeing Ouyang Xin’s strong interest in Mini Ice.
“Yes, I really like it. Thank you, Boss,” Ouyang Xin said with a polite nod and a smile.
“Please don’t be so polite; this is business,” Guxin said, a bit surprised, and then quickly added to Ouyang Xin. He was in the business to make a profit, not charity.
“Ouyang Xin, let me explain. The boss doesn’t need to be surprised. This girl is great in every way, except she tends to take everything too seriously,” Chen Yun said with a smile. He was already used to Ouyang Xin’s usual behavior.
Ouyang Xin pursed her lips and gave Chen Yun an annoyed look, but after all, he was her superior, and she had somewhat grown accustomed to it.
“By the way, Ouyang Xin, I’ve added you to the group. Would you like to have a battle with my Cocoa Dora?” Chen Yun handed Ouyang Xin the group card and then looked interested in Mini Ice.
An Ice-type Pokémon, it seemed like this was the first time someone had drawn one. Chen Yun was also curious about what Ice-type moves were like. He also wanted to see how his Cocoa Dora’s Steel-type moves would fare.
Guxin’s expression turned slightly strange upon hearing this. A battle between a newbie’s Cocoa Dora and a newbie’s Mini Ice?
“A battle, huh…”
Ouyang Xin hesitated for a moment after accepting the group invitation. She had watched battles on Bilibili but wasn’t sure if she could do it herself. Besides, Mini Ice was so cute, and Cocoa Dora was a Steel-type Pokémon.
If Cocoa Dora bumped into Mini Ice, wouldn’t her Mini Ice just shatter into pieces?
Thinking about this, Ouyang Xin glanced at Cocoa Dora, who was still eating continuously, and her expression suddenly became strangely determined.
Maybe… she could give it a try?
