The God-Tier Refresh Opportunity.
Once per year.
Only a single chance.
Unless granted by special missions, no additional refreshes would be given.
Chen Ran knew how precious this opportunity was.
He had to make the most of it.
When he opened the Flash Sale Shelf, he was immediately pleasantly surprised.
At this moment—
There were ten items displayed.
One item was wrapped in golden light, two were glowing crimson, five were surrounded by purple radiance, and the remaining two were covered in a much dimmer blue glow.
A system prompt appeared.
Item Quality Classification:
Rainbow — God-Tier
Gold — Legendary
Red — Champion
Purple — Elite
Blue — Gym
Green — Advanced
White — Common
"..."
"Let's start with the blue ones."
Chen Ran decided to save the best for last.
He tapped the two blue-quality items.
—
[Advanced Fire Poké Ball] (Gym)
Description: Crafted from special materials. When used by Fire-type Pokémon, it slightly restores stamina and grants a small experience boost during rest periods.
Flash Sale Price: ¥8.67
—
The price was absurdly low.
Chen Ran didn't even want to think about how the system calculated it.
"Doesn't matter."
"Buying first is just good manners."
He opened his phone and logged into the Dragon Kingdom Pokémon App.
This app was the most downloaded application in the Dragon Kingdom, covering everything from secret realms and Pokémon data to battles, events, and item trading. It was indispensable to Trainers.
He searched for Advanced Fire Poké Ball.
"¥39,100…"
"Resale listings at ¥42,000…"
"Devon Corporation official store price: ¥49,000!"
"..."
Good grief.
Chen Ran could only shake his head in disbelief.
"A regular Poké Ball costs 500 yuan, but a high-end Fire Poké Ball jumps straight to forty thousand?"
He had essentially acquired a top-tier Poké Ball for less than ten yuan.
If he had a few more, he could easily make a fortune as a reseller.
It was worth mentioning—
Many familiar companies and figures from his previous life existed in this world as well.
Devon Corporation, Silph Co., and others.
Steven Stone, who loved collecting rocks.
Red, the battle maniac.
Leon, the reigning Champion at the peak of his career.
But the one that caught Chen Ran's attention the most was Cynthia—the elegant Champion and renowned historian.
Soon after, Chen Ran tapped the second blue-quality item.
—
[Fire Stone] (Gym)
Description: An evolution stone that triggers evolution for certain Pokémon.
(Compatible with: Vulpix, Growlithe, Eevee, Pansear)
Flash Sale Price: ¥7.20
—
"A Fire Stone… one sells for over ¥100,000!"
"Another bloodbath of profit!"
Without hesitation, Chen Ran purchased the Fire Stone for 7.2 yuan.
"If I don't need it now, I can always sell it on the trading market later."
Next—
He moved on to the purple-quality Elite items.
Among the five purple items, three were TMs.
—
[TM: Fire Punch] (Elite)
Description: The user attacks with a fiery punch. May leave the target burned.
Flash Sale Price: ¥13.70
—
[TM: Blaze Kick] (Elite)
Description: A powerful kick engulfed in flames. High critical-hit ratio and may cause a burn.
Flash Sale Price: ¥13.70
—
[TM: Bulldoze] (Elite)
Description: The user stomps the ground, dealing damage and lowering the target's Speed by one stage.
Flash Sale Price: ¥13.70
—
"Oh?"
Chen Ran couldn't help but laugh.
This was perfect timing.
"Charmander relying only on Ember in the early game really would've been weak."
And now—
The system had handed him exactly what he needed.
Three TMs at once.
"I wonder if Charmander can learn all of these moves in this world."
In the games, Charizard could learn Fire Fang naturally, while Fire Punch and Bulldoze required TMs.
As for Charmander—
Only experimentation would tell.
"Buy everything."
Chen Ran didn't hesitate.
Hesitating in front of prices like these would be disrespectful to the system itself.
Next, he checked the remaining two purple items.
—
[Toxic Orb Fragment] (Elite)
Description: At the end of each battle, if the holder is not poisoned, it will become badly poisoned.
(Note: Five fragments can be combined into a complete item.)
Flash Sale Price: ¥13.70
—
"A Toxic Orb fragment…"
After thinking for a moment, Chen Ran bought it as well.
For the price of a meal, he was getting an item that could eventually be worth hundreds of thousands.
He vaguely remembered a Pokémon that could exploit the Toxic Orb, turning poison into healing through a special ability.
Even if it wasn't useful immediately, it was still a valuable long-term investment.
The final purple item was a High-Grade Fire Energy Cube.
Chen Ran bought it without hesitation—and casually fed it to Charmander.
Charmander's face instantly lit up.
"Char!"
It happily burrowed into Chen Ran's arms, eyes full of delight.
Faintly, Chen Ran felt their bond deepen.
"The last three items…"
"Those are the real heavy hitters."
He gently patted Charmander and continued browsing.
—
[Experience Multiplier] (Champion)
Description: When held, doubles the experience gained by the Pokémon after battles.
Flash Sale Price: ¥47.28
—
[Champion-Talent Random Pokémon Egg] (Champion)
Description: Hatches a Pokémon with Champion-level potential at random.
Flash Sale Price: ¥49.90
—
The two Champion-quality items looked simple—
But each was incredibly powerful.
"Buy them. All of them."
Chen Ran immediately recharged another hundred yuan.
"The Experience Multiplier will let Charmander level up rapidly in the early stages…"
"And this Champion-level Pokémon Egg will perfectly fill out my team."
After completing the purchases, Chen Ran's gaze finally shifted—
To the last item, still wrapped in brilliant golden light.
