068 The Importance of the Active Energy Block Design! Inherit the Power of Wood Release (First Update)
With the Black Belt now equipped on Heracross, Qin Yun was pleased. Now, all four of his Pokémon had held items suited to their strengths. Few trainers at his level had the luxury of customizing their team so well.
[Design Blueprint: Active Energy Block]
Required Materials: Occa Berry (8g), Rindo Berry (6g), Rawst Berry (4g), and additional ingredients…
Effect: A neutral energy block with high energy density. Unlike conventional high-grade energy cubes, this variant enhances a Pokémon's natural recovery rate and boosts vitality.
Market Price: 22 points per unit.
Qin Yun's eyes widened in surprise. The second item in his store refresh turned out to be a new type of energy cube, an industry known for its astronomical profits.
In the Pokémon world, companies that specialized in energy cubes had risen to become multibillion-dollar enterprises. According to insider sources, the profit margin on these cubes was immense often reaching 700% markup, with high-tier energy blocks commanding even higher prices.
However, due to the scarcity of certain key materials, many of which were non-renewable, the Pokémon League strictly regulated their production. To prevent excessive depletion of resources, League-enforced purchase restrictions were in place, making energy blocks highly sought after.
Qin Yun studied the blueprint carefully. Most of the required ingredients were common, with only a few classified as rare. Fortunately, none were restricted items, meaning he could legally purchase them from stores.
"At first glance, the total cost of production seems to be under 10,000 Pokémon Dollars," Qin Yun muttered to himself.
That was ridiculously cheap compared to conventional high-grade energy cubes, which required ingredients worth over 200,000 Pokémon Dollars per batch.
His mind raced. If he were to sell these active energy blocks, they could easily fetch upwards of 250,000 Pokémon Dollars each.
"This is a goldmine."
However, Qin Yun quickly realized the problem.
Energy cube manufacturing was heavily regulated. Selling them without League approval was considered illegal. Anyone caught engaging in unlicensed transactions could face severe penalties.
"Even though I can't mass-produce them for sale, I can definitely use them myself," Qin Yun reasoned. "Maybe I can also make some small-scale trades under the radar."
An idea struck him.
"What if I sell active energy blocks to earn Pokémon Dollars, then convert that money into system points?"
> [System Notification]
Self-produced items cannot be converted directly into points. However, if sold for Pokémon Dollars, those earnings can be converted at the standard exchange rate.
Qin Yun smirked. That meant he could still profit indirectly.
The system had strict conversion rules:
Official competition rewards were converted at market value.
Self-created items were valued based on material costs.
Pokémon Dollars had a fixed exchange rate: 10,000 = 1 point.
By selling energy cubes, Qin Yun could gain money without taking losses in system points.
"This is perfect. I'll convert my old energy blocks into points and switch to these active energy blocks for personal use."
Previously, Qin Yun had been reluctant to use high-grade energy cubes for training due to their cost.
At 200,000 Pokémon Dollars per cube, with four Pokémon consuming four cubes daily, his monthly expenses were an eye-watering 24 million Pokémon Dollars.
"No wonder rich trainers have such a massive advantage."
But with these active energy blocks, the cost dropped by 95% only 1.7 million Pokémon Dollars per month. That was a huge relief.
"This is a game-changer," Qin Yun grinned.
The Last Item: Wood Release!
With two amazing rewards secured, Qin Yun turned his attention to the final item.
[Wood Release: Inheritance]
Origin: From the world of Blaze (Naruto), developed by the legendary first-generation user, Senju Hashirama.
Nature: A fusion of Water and Earth energy, capable of accelerating plant growth, manipulating vegetation for attack, defense, and reconnaissance.
Effect: The user gains knowledge of Wood Release techniques, but mastery requires continuous training.
For Pokémon users: The ability will integrate into the Pokémon's biology. As their strength grows, they will be able to share Wood Release energy with their trainer.
A long and detailed description, but every word carried weight.
"This is perfect for Fomantis!"
Ever since he obtained Fomantis, Qin Yun had been searching for ways to enhance its offensive capabilities. While its potential was great, its attack power was still lacking compared to his other Pokémon.
If Fomantis could inherit Wood Release, its strength would skyrocket.
Of course, mastering this ability wouldn't be instant.
"Even Hashirama took years to perfect his Wood Release… If Fomantis wants to reach that level, it's going to be a long journey."
But that wasn't a problem it was a goal to strive toward.
Qin Yun carefully picked up Fomantis and stood up.
The sudden movement startled both Combusken and Heracross.
Heracross groggily opened one eye.
"Hera?"
The Bug/Fighting Pokémon blinked in confusion. Why was Qin Yun and Fomantis awake?
More importantly was there food involved?!
The mere thought of a midnight snack instantly woke Heracross up. The beetle Pokémon jumped up with alarming speed, its antennae twitching with excitement.
Qin Yun let out an exasperated sigh.
"This glutton…"
