My Pokémon Player

The two directors walked in front to lead the way for Ryan and others, and introduced Guanhai City enthusiastically.

"Guanhai City is the largest commercial city in the Kingdom of Arad and one of the largest port cities."

"The unique geographical conditions give Guanhai City excellent maritime transportation conditions. The Shajiao Port outside the city handles a large amount of cargo every day, which is the basis for Guanhai City's survival."

"As the brightest pearl in the south of the kingdom, Guanhai City is home to all kinds of goods, and the residents in the city also have different identities."

"In Guanhai City, you can meet clowns performing on the street, and you can also meet the exiled prince!"

"In Guanhai City, as long as you have enough gold coins, you can buy any product you want!"

"In Guanhai City, poor civilians have the opportunity to become rich overnight, and wealthy businessmen can become impoverished in an instant!"

"And this is the charm of Guanhai City!"

The voices of the two directors gradually became passionate, and their faces were filled with pride and complacency.

It is obvious that they are all proud of Guanhai City's current prosperity, after all, they are also responsible for it.

After giving a general introduction to the overall situation of Guanhai City, the two directors turned their attention to Ryan, wanting to see if he was shocked by Guanhai City.

Based on past experience of welcoming nobles, no matter how arrogant they were before coming, after seeing the prosperity of Guanhai City, their momentum will be suppressed, and they will even have an inferiority complex like a countryman coming to the city.

They wanted to repeat their old tricks this time and planned to use the prosperity of Guanhai City to give Ryan a showdown.

But Ryan's reaction greatly disappointed them. There was not much shock or envy on the other person's face, he just looked at the shops on the street with interest.

Not only does it seem that there is no inferiority complex, but it gives people the feeling that an upper class person comes to experience the local customs.

Just like when they visit other backward towns, they are used to seeing the prosperity of Guanhai City, so they will also become interested after seeing the characteristics of the town.

But why does Ryan feel this way? Doesn’t the intelligence say that he has never been to other cities since he was a child? This must be his first time seeing Guanhai City. Why is he not shocked at all?

The two directors were puzzled. Little did they know that although Ryan lived in a third- and fourth-tier small city in his previous life, the prosperity of the small city was far better than that of Guanhai City.

Not to mention that he has also traveled to the Magic City and the Imperial City. Compared with these two cities, Guanhai City is at best a small town with a medieval style. It is strange that it can shock him.

Ryan is just curious about new things and buildings, and so are the players.

They all whispered about various details of Guanhai City and kept praising the authenticity of the game.

I originally thought that the thousands of intelligent NPCs in Yinghuo Town would be the limit of this game. I didn't expect that there is such a large city in the game. I just don't know if the NPCs in Guanhai City are like Yinghuo Town. There is separate artificial intelligence.

"Ahem, Master Ryan, have you been to Guanhai City before?"

Locke asked Ryan curiously.

"No, this is my first time coming to Guanhai City. Do you have any questions?" Ryan asked.

"No problem, I just looked at you and thought you had been to Guanhai City before."

Locke explained with a smile.

"Oh, I have never been to Guanhai City, but I have heard others mention the prosperity of Guanhai City, and I have already been mentally prepared, so I won't be too surprised."

Ryan made a random excuse to excuse himself.

"I see, that person must know Guanhai City very well, so he can give you a preliminary impression of Guanhai City just by using words. I don't know who that person is. Maybe we know each other."

Gavin said with a smile.

"You must know that person. He is my father, Baron Nord. As the vanguard of the noble coalition, he was the first noble to reach the gate of Guanhai City. After the war, he accompanied you to visit Guanhai City. , so I know Guanhai City fairly well.”

Hearing this, Gavin wanted to slap himself. Isn't he looking for trouble? It made Ryan even more arrogant for no reason.

"Haha, of course we know the brave and capable Baron Nord. He left a very deep impression on us. It's a pity."

Locke shook his head, with a regretful expression on his face, and then said to Ryan:

"Please rest assured that we have sent Lord Nord's appearance to every trader, asking them to keep an eye out for news about Lord Nord. I believe they will be able to find Lord Nord soon."

What Locke said was not a mere statement, but he actually did it. This was also a proposal approved by the council.

They really want to help Ryan find his father. On the one hand, they can sell Ryan a favor, and on the other hand, they have the opportunity to trigger civil strife in Ryan's territory.

In the eyes of businessmen, no noble would give up the power in his hands easily. In history, there are often stories of fathers and sons fighting, and brothers killing each other in order to compete for power.

As long as Baron Nord is still alive and successfully returns to Firefly Town, there will definitely be conflicts between Ryan and Nord.

No matter who wins in the end, Yinghuo Town will fall into a passive situation.

If Ryan continues to be in power, his reputation will drop significantly. The aristocratic circle will no longer tolerate the nobleman who usurped his father's power. They are also afraid that their descendants will imitate Ryan, and then Guanhai City will be able to deal with Yinghuo without any scruples. The town takes action.

If Nord comes back to power, with Nord's terrible governance ability, Firefly Town can only maintain the status quo, and it is impossible to grow and develop, and Guanhai City will no longer have any worries.

Therefore, Guanhai City is very concerned about finding Baron Nord. Not only did it mobilize the power of the Chamber of Commerce, but it also issued a large reward. Now the reward price of Nord on the black market is higher than that of the Scourge cub.

Of course, the bounty order also states that only living people are needed to avoid some young people who are confused about the situation and cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

"Thank you for helping me find my father. If you can really find him, I will also give up some benefits in the transaction."

Ryan didn't have so many twists and turns. He really wanted to find Nord, which was also the wish of his predecessor.

As for power struggles, Ryan didn't think so much. If it didn't work, he would give Firefly Town to Nord. Anyway, as long as there are players, he can develop wherever he goes.

However, this situation is almost impossible to happen. In Ryan's memory, Nord is not greedy for power. He often complains about the trouble of governing the territory in front of Ryan. He always says that when Ryan grows up, he will hand over the territory to Ryan and go out alone for adventure.

I think that cheap father should not compete with him for power. He even wants to hand over the territory to Ryan.

Wait! Did his father deliberately not show up and go out to wander?

Otherwise, it wouldn't be so long without any news.

The key is that according to Ryan's previous memory, Nord can really do such a thing!

Thinking of this, Ryan couldn't help but frowned and began to think about how likely it is that the cheap father would leave the mess and run away to have fun.

As a result, the more he thought about it, the more possible it was, and his expression became more and more complicated.

Seeing this, the two directors thought that they had brought up Ryan's sad story, and quickly changed the subject:

"Lord Ryan, look, this street is one of the eight commercial streets in Guanhai City, and it is also the street with the most merchandise. On this street, there is nothing you can't think of, nothing you can't buy."

"Really? You can really buy everything?"

Before Ryan replied, Eve beside him couldn't help but interrupt and asked.

"That's right, even natural disasters can be bought!"

Locke waved his hand and said confidently.

"Can you buy time?" Eve continued to ask.

"Uh"

The two directors were stuck.

"Can't buy it? Then can you buy regret medicine? That is, a potion that can regret after drinking it."

"This"

"No, what about health? What about talent? And."

"Okay, stop making trouble here."

Eve was about to continue talking when she was stopped by Ryan.

He looked at Eve helplessly. She had only been in contact with the players for two days, but she had already learned to argue. If she continued like this, it would not take long for Eve to be assimilated by the players.

"In the future, have less contact with the monster masters in the territory."

Ryan lowered his voice and said to Eve.

"Why? I think they are very interesting."

Eve said with a puzzled look on her face.

"Why do you have so many questions? Do you still want to become my disciple?"

"Oh~"

After Ryan admonished Eve, he turned to the two directors who looked embarrassed and said, "Children are ignorant, please don't mind."

"It doesn't matter, we used the wording imprecisely, but in Guanhai City, even if you can't buy time, you can spend money to save time, such as the guides waiting for work on the roadside. As long as you pay some copper coins, you can save time to understand Guanhai City."

"But you can't trust them completely. If they find out that you are a traveler who knows nothing, they will find a way to empty your money, so let me and Director Gavin introduce Guanhai City to you."

Locke tactfully avoided this topic and introduced Guanhai City to Ryan again.

Ryan also cooperated and said to the two directors with a smile:

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, two directors."

With the introduction of the two directors, Ryan had a general impression of Guanhai City in his mind.

As they said, Guanhai City, as the largest commercial city in the kingdom, relied on its superior location near the Whirlpool Sea to vigorously develop maritime trade, accumulate original capital, and then build a complete commercial system.

In today's chaotic era, Guanhai City can still maintain its prosperity as always, which is really amazing.

But after visiting all the way, Ryan always felt that something was wrong.

He remembered that White once said that Guanhai City was a paradise for the rich and a hell for the poor, and the gap between the rich and the poor was extremely wide.

But according to his observation, there were no poor people on the street, and the most destitute were just a few jugglers.

However, there were Pokémon beside them, who could also be called beast masters, and they made a lot of money. In a short while, they made more money than ordinary farmers could make in a month.

Could it be that Guanhai City has developed to the level of common prosperity?

It's impossible. Ryan's society in his previous life was so developed, and there was a "God of Agriculture" who basically solved the problem of eating. How could Guanhai City develop to this level?

Just when Ryan was puzzled, Yalang beside him whispered to him:

"Master Ryan, I sense a lot of bad emotions coming from the alleys around me, including fear, anger and sadness."

Ryan raised his eyebrows and subconsciously glanced at the alley not far away.

There were two beast masters standing at the entrance of the alley, looking nervously at this side, as if they were on guard against something.

"Can you sense what happened in the alley?"

Ryan asked Aaron in a low voice.

Aaron replied ashamedly: "Sorry, Lord Ryan, my current ability cannot sense the scene far away, I can only vaguely sense some emotions."

"Okay, don't worry about it for now, let's check it out when we have a chance."

Ryan did not blame Aaron, the power of wave also needs to be developed, Aaron has only developed it for a short time, naturally can't reach the level of super long-distance perception of the battlefield in the movie.

And the power of wave also needs the cooperation of Lucario to use its full power.

It's a pity that Lucario is also a relatively rare Pokémon, and it is difficult for ordinary people to encounter it. I don't know if I can meet one in Guanhai City.

If Aaron can subdue Riolu or Lucario, then his power of wave can be further developed, so that he can sense the scene.

Ryan did not delve into what happened in the alley. He was now in someone else's territory. Although he did not need to be timid, he could not act too much. Before he was familiar with the situation in Guanhai City, Ryan did not want to act rashly.

So he just noted the locations of these alleys and continued to listen to the introductions of the two directors.

After they walked away, the guards at the entrance of the alley breathed a sigh of relief. One of the guards spit on the ground and said with lingering fear:

"I was scared to death. The young noble just glanced at us. I thought he had discovered something."

Another guard also wiped the cold sweat from his forehead:

"Yes, Lord Gavin glared at us. If the noble noticed something wrong, we would be finished."

"Who on earth is that noble? Not only did he make the two directors go out of the city to greet him, but he also had to clear the entire street for him."

The previous guard said curiously.

"Who knows? We are not as well-informed as the guards guarding Luca, but his status must be high. He may be the heir of a great noble. We have to be careful these two days and don't bump into this noble."

"You think too much. We don't even have the qualifications to meet such a noble, so how could we bump into him?"

"That's right. Let's complete the task assigned to us by the Chamber of Commerce first. By the way, how should we deal with these people? We can't let them stay in the alley all the time."

The guard turned and looked at the alley, only to see many ragged poor people curled up in the alley.

At this time, they were trembling, looking at the two guards at the entrance of the alley with horror.

They couldn't understand why the caravan guards, who usually kept to themselves, took them to this place by force and didn't let them beg on the street.

But they didn't dare to disobey the guards' orders, especially after the guards killed several poor people who tried to leave the alley without hesitation, they dared not have any opinions, and could only pray secretly that they could get out alive.

"Tsk, what a hassle. The order from above is not to let these people appear in front of that noble, nor does it say how to deal with them."

Another guard said impatiently, his face full of disdain and disgust for the poor.

"How about killing them all?"

"It's too wasteful. I remember that the Colosseum is short of consumables recently. Sell them to the Colosseum and earn some money for wine."

"Okay, just treat it as waste utilization."

The two guards decided the fate of this group of poor people with just two sentences.

When the poor heard that the guards were going to send them to the Colosseum, they immediately showed terrified expressions.

It's not difficult to see from their expressions that the Colosseum is definitely not a good place to go.

But under the intimidation of the guards, they can only be forced to accept their fate.

The same thing happened in other alleys. Obviously, under the prosperity of Guanhai City, there is still a dark and devouring darkness.

I hate taking a day off!!
