Chapter 13 The 1st Elite Cup Competition!

"Brother, what is this for?"

In the crowd, Sun Zhi put his arm around a buddy's shoulder and asked in a familiar manner.

"I heard that the city is planning to host the first Elite Cup Tournament."

"The winner will receive a prize of 10 yuan, as well as a gift pack of a fairy egg and energy cubes."

This guy told Sun Zhi all the information he had learned.

Afterwards, Sun Zhi asked again and found that what everyone said was exactly the same as what this guy said, so he withdrew from the crowd.

"How is it? Have you asked? Why are so many people crowded here?"

Seeing Sun Zhi coming back, Lin Rui immediately asked.

Sun Zhi took a breath and said, "I have asked, I have asked."

"The Jianghai City Pokémon League is planning to hold the first Elite Cup Battle Tournament, and these people are planning to sign up after seeing the news."

"The first Elite Cup competition? What is it for?" Lin Rui asked in confusion.

"I don't know the details, but it should be a Pokémon battle. It is said that the winner will receive 10 yuan in cash, as well as a Pokémon egg and a power cube gift pack."

"Let's not talk about it for now. Fatty has to go sign up first."

After saying that, Sun Zhi "charged" into the crowd again, and relying on his fat body, he fought his way out.

"Lin Rui, are you planning to sign up?"

After Sun Zhi left, Zheng Jianan looked at Lin Rui and asked.

"Sign up, why not sign up!" Lin Rui said with a smile.

"In that case, I'll sign up too, and let's work hard together!" Zheng Jianan said with a happy smile.

He had to sign up, but what Lin Rui was interested in was not the elf egg, but the 100,000 yuan prize.

In order to become a powerful Pokémon trainer, you must have strong financial support.

Because the later you get, the more money you need to spend to cultivate Pokémon.

Someone once calculated that it would cost at least 500 million to cultivate a Pokémon with King-level aptitude to King-level combat power.

This is just one Pokémon. Six Pokémon would cost 3000 million.

If you want to increase the combat power of Pokémon further, the cost will be even higher.

But such a huge effort will bring huge rewards.

The stronger the Pokémon trainer, the more ways he or she can make money.

Putting aside other things, as long as you become a lord-level trainer, you can pass the exam and work in the Pokémon League and become a civil servant.

Compared with Lin Rui's previous life, the salaries of civil servants in this world are only higher, not lower.

All food, clothing, housing and transportation are reimbursed by the Pokémon League.

Even for normal Pokémon training, you can purchase the corresponding items at an internal price.

Moreover, as your rank increases, the amount of internal discounts will also increase.

Becoming a civil servant is also the lifelong pursuit of many trainers.

However, just like Lin Rui’s previous life, it is also quite difficult to pass the civil service exam in this world.

The ratio reached an astonishing 100,000 to 1.

That means one hundred thousand people compete for one position.

In addition to becoming a civil servant, there are many other ways for trainers to make money.

The easiest way is to go to a secret place to hunt for treasure.

There are various kinds of secret treasures in the secret realm, and the prices of these treasures vary.

Trainers obtain secret treasures in secret realms, and then sell them to trainers in need or return them to the Pokémon League to make a profit.

Because there are quite a few such trainers, a special profession has been born - the scavenger trainer.

There are people who make a living by selling secret treasures, and naturally there are also trainers who make a living by selling Pokémon.

However, Pokémon can only be sold to the Pokémon League, and trainers are not allowed to trade privately, otherwise they will be defined as Pokémon poachers.

Once caught, you will face imprisonment.

But even so, there are still people who take risks and become Pokémon poachers.

Simply because the higher the risk, the higher the return.

The world is so big, there will always be people who are willing to sacrifice their lives for money.

In addition to the above-mentioned money-making channels, some powerful trainers will also win bonuses by participating in various Pokémon battles.

This method is only for trainers who are very powerful and have absolute confidence in themselves, and is not suitable for ordinary people.

Lin Rui's parents are just ordinary working class people, which is more than enough for their living, but if they want to train Lin Rui to become an excellent trainer, that's a bit of a stretch.

Fortunately, Lin Rui still has the help of the system, which can save a lot of money.

Being able to save a lot of money doesn't mean you don't have to spend a penny.

Pokémon's daily rations, regular physical checkups and recovery, as well as learning of moves and skills, all cost money.

Currently, the system mall only sells magical candies, and the winning rate of the lottery is low, not to mention the chance of getting good things.

Lin Rui still has a lot of places to spend money.

Therefore, he urgently needed the 100,000 yuan bonus.

……

The Jianghai City Pokémon League has invested a huge amount of money for this Elite Cup.

There were a lot of people queuing up to register on site, and Lin Rui and his friends waited in line for half an hour before it was their turn.

The staff handed them each a registration form and said.

"Just fill in your basic information here. The competition will start next weekend. The venue is Battle Park in the city center."

Taking the registration form, Lin Rui took a quick glance at it.

In addition to the space for filling in personal information, the registration form also contains the rules for entering the competition.

1. This competition has no age, gender or occupation restrictions.

2. Participants in this competition are strictly prohibited from using Pokémon with combat power above the Lord level.

3、本次比赛分为预赛和决赛，预赛采取1v1单场淘汰赛，决出32强晋级决赛，决赛将采取2v2单场淘汰赛。

4,……

After seeing the first rule, Lin Rui finally understood why so many people signed up.

In some previous competitions, the organizers would list a lot of rules, restricting this and that.

But this elite cup is different. It has no age restrictions, no gender restrictions, and even no occupation restrictions.

This means that no matter whether you are male or female, young or old, no matter what your profession is, as long as you have your own Pokémon, you can participate in this Elite Cup.

However, in order to avoid extremely powerful contestants, the organizers stipulated in Article 2 that all Pokémon participating in the competition must not have combat power exceeding the lord level.

That is to say, the Pokémon participating in the competition must not exceed level 30.

Once you exceed level 30, you are not allowed to participate.

Even if you level up during the game, you are not allowed to continue participating after the game is over and must change Pokémon.

Lin Rui felt that the organizers had considered this point quite thoughtfully.

After all, this competition has relaxed restrictions on participants, so there will definitely be people from all walks of life and different age groups participating.

The only person who sent a Pokémon with king-level combat power to participate in the competition, so there will be no suspense in the competition, so just give the prize to him.

Soon, Lin Rui filled out the registration form and returned it to the staff.

"OK, just come on time for the competition next weekend."
