He then went to the boat rental market to rent a boat he liked.
Arriving at the boat rental market with his aluminum-steel dragon, he was quickly dazzled by the sheer number of boats available.
The Hoenn region is an island area with a long history of fishing, so every Hoenn man knows how to swim.
The boat is essentially the same as the car in the previous life.
Although we now have airplanes and can find spiritual fulfillment in a city, the role of ships has diminished considerably.
But in Twilight Water Town, you can still see the most diverse variety of boats.
The chartering market is essentially a port.
When the merchants saw Qi Feng, they shouted loudly to attract customers.
"These are specially designed fishing boats, equipped with their own nets and bait. No need for groundbaiting; they can catch 3,000 jin (1,500 kg) of fish a day!"
"The fastest speedboat, reaching speeds of 200 km/h, will let you experience true speed and passion!"
"It comes with a built-in Pokémon detector, which is accurate and easy to use!"
Qi Feng immediately became curious.
"Ten thousand yuan a day."
Qi Feng couldn't help but laugh as soon as the middle-aged male boss opened his mouth.
"Do you think I'm some big oaf from another region?"
With ten thousand yuan, I could save up enough to buy a boat.
Besides, if I'm not mistaken, the Pokémon detector on your ship can only detect the location of Pokémon.
We cannot know the specific types of Pokémon.
These detectors only cost a few thousand yuan.
"They dare to ask me for 10,000 yuan a day? They really don't want to do business."
After Qi Feng finished speaking, he turned around and prepared to look for other ships with better cost performance.
Qi Feng had absolutely no liking for merchants who preyed on idiots.
Although he wasn't a local of Hoenn, he knew the basic prices of boats in Dewford Town.
Asking for 10,000 right off the bat? They're really treating themselves like fools.
As soon as Qi Feng turned around, the middle-aged businessman called out to him.
"No, I'll give you a discount. Look at the mess this has made."
I didn't know you were local.
This price would definitely apply to tourists from outside the area.
But for locals like us, it only costs 1,000 yuan a day. Just 1,000 yuan and you can drive away.
Qi Feng chuckled, didn't turn around, opened his phone, and started dialing.
After leaving the middle-aged man's stall, the number was dialed.
"Mushui Town, the Market Supervision Bureau, right?"
"Yes, how can I help you?"
"Boat rental market, No. 013, one price for out-of-towners, one price for locals."
As an ordinary tourist, I was very disappointed.
If my colleagues came and found out about this, they'd probably be furious.
"Um, what's your profession?"
"Prosecutor."
"Okay, I'll take care of it right away."
The tone on the other end changed immediately, followed by the sound of someone hurriedly pressing the mechanical buttons on the landline.
It is undeniable that every world has unscrupulous merchants.
But what hasn't changed is that every world has a market supervision bureau.
Is this a double-edged menu designed to rip off out-of-towners?
Go talk to Officer Jenny.
Qi Feng looked around again and successfully rented a more suitable boat.
When they returned, a man in uniform was holding a notebook and writing something down with a serious expression.
The boss, who had previously looked cunning, now resembled an honest little rabbit.
After watching for a while, the boss finally managed to brush it off.
Qi Feng immediately came over out of curiosity.
"What are you doing, sir?"
He was caught cheating out-of-town tourists by using double pricing and got reported.
The shop owner immediately glared at Qi Feng with eyes wide open, "Don't talk nonsense, when have I ever ripped off tourists from out of town!"
Qi Feng immediately began to play dumb.
"Didn't you just say that locals pay one price and out-of-towners pay another?"
Why are you denying it now?
When Qi Feng spoke, he looked very serious, like a stubborn, silly boy.
At this point, the boss finally understood.
This kid is really trying to mess with me!
"Haha, thanks for the clue."
What else is there to say now?
Come back with us.
Qi Feng stood there, watching his boss reluctantly get into the car and drive away.
"Sigh, you can make money by doing business honestly, so why do you have to cheat people?"
Be grateful that you encountered the kind me.
"You might run into a bad-tempered trainer who could smash your ship, and you wouldn't have anything to say about it."
Qi Feng went to the inn to get his equipment, then found the boat he had rented and recalled all his Pokémon.
This boat is larger than a speedboat, but slower.
But many features have been added.
For example, Pokémon exploration, Pokémon bait deployment, wave protection, and anchorless boat stilling technology...
Many high-tech technologies are involved, and this kind of ship costs a thousand yuan a day, which is truly good value for money.
Qi Feng stepped on the gas and steered the boat out of the harbor.
Chapter 142 The Dragon King Appears!
"Hmm, the Pokémon density here isn't very high."
Qi Feng looked down at the Pokémon locations displayed on the radar on the big screen.
Not dense.
Although the detection range is limited, it is estimated that there are only about a dozen Pokémon within a range of 100 meters.
The reality is quite different from the world filled with Pokémon in the story.
Sailing northwards, Qi Feng hoped to find the Illusion Island.
The Phantom Island is a small island that is easily affected by magnetic fields, and its appearance is very random.
It often happens that you see it, and when you get close to it, it suddenly disappears.
On the island of illusion, I've heard that many small fruits and precious tree fruits live there.
Qi Feng speculated that there were probably many precious minerals as well.
However, how to get up there is a real problem.
The most urgent task is to find the Mohaima.
beep - beep - beep -
The radar whirred alongside the engine roar. Qi Feng took out a sheet of paper and began comparing the surrounding scenery.
Fortunately, the place where Mo Haima last appeared was near an isolated island.
Otherwise, it would be really difficult to find.
Qi Feng slowly brought the boat to a stop.
"Come out, mini dragon!"
The dwarf dragon let out a soft whimper and plunged into the water, then excitedly wagged its tail up and down, signaling Qi Feng to hurry up and get in.
Qi Feng smiled and told him not to rush, then put on his equipment and put the camera on his head.
He leaped into the water in a fish-like motion.
Bubbling bubbles enveloped Qi Feng, and then the mini dragon excitedly circled around him.
"Gulu gulu."
Qi Feng gestured for the Mini Dragon to dive down with him.
Dratini knew that even if it knew the location, finding a specific Pokémon in the sea would still be too difficult.
Therefore, Qi Feng decided to search for stones while also searching for Pokémon.
Although evolution stones like Water Stone and Thunder Stone are instantly taken away by wild Pokémon once they are dug out of the rock by seawater.
