Chapter 173 Gurusha fell into the snowdrift

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Treasure hunting activities did not happen every night. Although some accidents happened to Hoshino and his group, in order for the event to proceed normally, ten people were still able to continue participating.

Within three days, they went through another round of treasure hunting, and the last six people went to the next round. As long as they completed one more round, they could meet other groups of treasure hunters and start the final round of treasure hunting competition.

Of course, as for the specific situation of this last round, not even the Fairy Queen has been found, and Hoshino doesn't know where he will go and what he will look for.

However, luck will not always be good, but it will not always be bad. During the second round of treasure hunting, no accidents occurred, but after walking around the entire ruins, only two treasure chests were found.

Sure enough, without the protection and management of someone as powerful as the Snow Demon Girl, these guys are very timid and do not dare to gather too many people.

However, the gold coins given by Suo Cai Ling in these two treasure chests are quite a lot. Suo Cai Ling's gold plating progress has now reached 88.8%, and 12 more gold coins can directly reach 90%, so Hoshino simply doesn't wait.

The start of the next treasure hunt is tomorrow night. It's so close that he really doesn't want to wait. It's like haggling over prices day and night. It's so close in the end that it's easy to arouse people's urgency.

It feels like I wish I could fill it up quickly.

So he took advantage of today's free time and headed towards the middle of Shuangmo Mountain. There is also a ski resort next to Shuangmo Mountain Gym, which is considered a tourist attraction, and it is also the closest place to him...

"It's so cold..."

Arriving halfway up the mountain, Hoshino hugged Xinye Miao tightly and shuddered. Although the sun was shining now, the temperature was still about minus 10 degrees Celsius.

At this time, Motorcycle Lizard was not willing to come out, but he just came over for a walk and cashed out all the deposits. The procedures had been contacted and handled by the other party in advance. All he had to do was go over and sign.

It is not a holiday now, so there are not many tourists coming to Shuangmo Mountain for skiing, but the gym is also built here, which means there will be challengers coming.

Gurusha, the gym trainer of Frostmoist Mountain, is said to have been the world's second-ranked professional snowboarder, but he retired due to a serious injury in an accident, and finally returned here to serve as a gym trainer.

He obviously majored in the ice system and was also a professional skier, but when he saw the other person's outfit a few days ago, he was more afraid of the cold than he was. It was outrageous, so Hoshino said that the other person had a personality.

"I can't stand it, I can't stand it..."

He shivered again, and then ran towards the Pokémon Bank in the distance. He was still wearing too few clothes. He didn't expect to go to Frostmoist Mountain to spend the winter in the first place, so he didn't buy any winter clothes.

After running into the bank, heating was provided here, and the body became much warmer instantly. It didn't matter to Xinye Miao being held by him. As long as there was sunlight, it could carry out photosynthesis and was not afraid of the cold at all...

"Welcome~ What business do you want to handle? We can do it here..."

"As agreed yesterday, the one who will withdraw the money."

"Mr. Hoshino, please show your trainer certificate or ID card. We need to verify your identity first."

"Um."

The amount of money withdrawn this time was too large, and it was all converted into equivalent coins, so these are necessary procedures. In this era of widespread mobile payment, it is troublesome to withdraw so much cash at one time, but if you follow the procedures well, there will be no problem.

.

When he followed the bank staff to verify his identity and withdraw money, New Leaf and the others stayed in the lobby to wait temporarily. This was also to prevent anyone from using Pokémon to steal money.

"Jiwagu~"

Suo Cailing is getting more and more excited, and is already imagining what will happen after he is the first to complete his goal. Hoshino told him about the evolution of the Seven-Xi Little Golden Man, and what exactly it will evolve into. In fact, he doesn't know, but he is sure.

Very handsome!

New Leaf Cat jumped on the chair, then lay down and started waiting. Gengar sat next to it, and Popper Dolphin ran out. It didn't like the heater blowing on.

Time passed little by little, and Suo Cailing couldn't remain calm, so he started walking around the bank, habitually looking for anyone to drop coins or something like that. After all, this was a bank.

"Gengar?"

Seeing it running around, Gengar immediately followed it, fearing that it would accidentally do something bad in a place like this.

So the two of them started walking around in the bank lobby. However, the place was cleaned every day, so it was impossible for them to pick up coins, so they just passed the time and visited the place.

But just around the corner from the bank gate, Gengar found something interesting and ran over with Suo Cailing.

This is a body surface that reflects the red metallic luster of something unknown, just like the robot that appears in the Locust Man with Legs. Its legs are like skis, and then it kicks off its legs and sits in the corner.

"Jiwagu?"

Suo Cailing tilted his head. As ghost Pokémon, they can feel life energy, but the thing in front of them clearly has no life energy, which means it is not a living body, but it gives them a very strange feeling.

feeling.

"Gengar..."

Gengar didn't know much about it, so he was curious, so he brought it over to have a look. However, a bank employee discovered them here, so he came over and introduced them kindly.

"This is not real. It's just a cyber-style messenger bird for decoration. It's very handsome. It's obviously not damaged. I don't know who lost it. They picked it up before and put it here."

"Jiwagu..."

Suo Cailing understood and nodded. It turned out to be just a decoration like a statue.

But this thing is really cool. I wonder if my body will reflect metallic light like this after I evolve.

It and Gengar looked at it curiously for a while, and then left, leaving behind this cyber-style decoration that was very similar to the messenger bird.

But when they turned around and left, the completely dimmed eyes of this metal messenger bird with unknown meaning suddenly lit up, its pupils flickering like a dot matrix, and then dissipated in an instant...

After a moment, Hoshino and the bank staff walked out from the back pushing bags full of coins. All their belongings were here. This is the weight they have gained after working hard for so long!

"I am also a booster knight!"

Hoshino dragged the bags hard, but they were much heavier than he thought, and there were more than one bags, making it impossible to carry them down.

He had no choice but to find a hotel in Shuangmo Mountain to stay for one night, and then rush back before the treasure hunt started tomorrow night.

Although he doesn't have a penny now, he is the acting student council president of the college, so it is enough to swipe his face, and the rest will be reimbursed by the principal.

With Motorcycle Lizard's help, he finally brought the bags filled with coins to a nearby hotel, then hid in the room and threw them into Suo Cailing's small vault to plate them with gold.

With so many coins, it would take at least half a day to absorb them all, so they could only stay in the hotel for now, not daring to go out because it was too cold.

"Jiwagu~"

Suo Cailing jumped into the small vault and began to slowly gild, and time slowly began to pass...

In the blink of an eye, the sky has gradually dimmed. Standing by the window, you can still see the moon appear. There is no abnormal weather tonight, and the scenery of Shuangmo Mountain is good.

After such a long period of gold plating, Suo Cailing's gold plating progress has reached 97.3%, and there are still a lot of coins left, which should be enough.

"Come on, a little sleep should be enough."

Hoshino slowly began to look forward to it, otherwise he wouldn't be able to sleep at all, because he wanted to see with his own eyes the moment when Suo Cai Ling evolved into Saifuhao.

As for Xin Ye Miao and the others, they have all rested now, and they are the only ones staying up late tonight.

Suo Cailing couldn't feel sleepy. Now its body had completely turned into gold, and a steady stream of power began to emerge from its body. It was just a little short of it, and it seemed that it was about to catch something.

Hoshino just waited like this, not even bothering to check his phone. He would check out the scenery outside the window from time to time. But when he looked in the direction of Shuangmo Mountain Gym from here, he saw a figure suddenly walking out.

The other party still wrapped himself up tightly, but he was holding a ski in his hand and deliberately came out when no one was around.

"Huh? What are you doing?"

Hoshino naturally recognized that it was Gurusha, but he didn't expect him to run out at night. Didn't he mean that he would stop skiing after retiring from serious injuries? But he was still skiing secretly...

He became somewhat interested inexplicably, so he left the hotel and headed outside. As soon as he walked out of the hotel door, he shuddered and almost went back.

"It's terrible, it's so cold..."

After rubbing his hands, he quietly followed Gurusha who was heading towards the ski resort, wanting to see how this professional player was doing.

When he came to the skis, Gurusha didn't realize that he was being followed. He pushed his scarf, then put the skis on the ground and started to prepare.

"Um?"

Hoshino hid behind a street lamp not far away, and then watched Gurusha getting ready and rushing downwards, so he immediately followed, wanting to know how professional players would show off their skills and learn from them secretly.

When he came to the edge, he was stunned, because there were no superb skills below. There was only Gurusha who fell into the snow like an onion.

"Is this a professional player..."

For a moment, Hoshino felt that the information he saw on the Internet was made up by others. Even if a professional player retired, he wouldn't be inferior to a novice, right? He wouldn't be like this even if he were a pure novice in skiing.

But he immediately retreated and hid, because Gurusha climbed out of the snow, then picked up the fallen skis, walked back expressionlessly, as if he was used to it, and then repeated it.

"..."

Seeing the other party rushing down and falling into the snow again, Hoshino frowned slightly, feeling that this matter might not be what he thought...
