Pokémon that goes with the flow

Standing in front of the shelves in the supermarket, Hoshino thought for a long time and made various comparisons before finally deciding in his mind that he had chosen the lowest product on the shelf - compressed biscuits worth two yuan a pack!

Just this morning, when Hoshino was still packing things at the Pokémon Center, he realized that last time he went shopping at the mall, he only bought things for Pokémon and not food that he could eat.

After realizing it, Hoshino wanted to save trouble and immediately went to a nearby small supermarket to buy supplies after leaving the Pokémon Center. He planned to simply replenish some before setting off.

【Ding! Dear~, would you like to take a look at the system? Dear~, the luxury outdoor kitchenware can be taken away for only 1500 yuan. It is easy to carry and simple to operate. Say goodbye to ready-to-eat food! 】

(Hoshino: But aren’t you just asking me to cook for myself? It’s too troublesome. The food only needs to fill my stomach. You might as well sell me gourmet tablecloths and I can eat directly.)

【Ding! Dear~, this is also available~, a gourmet tablecloth, the same style as the famous blue (Zeng) cat-shaped robot. Just spread the tablecloth on the ground and think about it in your heart, and the food you want to eat will appear. It is simple and practical, and you can Enjoy a great meal anytime, anywhere! Say goodbye to food problems! The price is now only 1 yuan! Forever warranty. 】

(Hoshino: Well, to be honest, it’s not expensive, but I still can’t afford it. I might consider buying it in the future.)

【Ding! Dear ~, according to your last suggestion to expand the service scope of the system, this system has privately conducted a comprehensive study of commercial services, and has now launched a new service "Worry-Free Flower". Use it this month and pay it back next month! Installment payment is more affordable! Don’t hesitate to buy anything anymore! 】

(Hoshino: ...So what did you learn? Hey! You even have a loan service! Forget it, how much is the interest? If it’s to buy gourmet tablecloths, it’s worth it.)

【Ding! Dear~, super reasonable price, nine out of ten will be borrowed and nine out of ten will be returned! Isn’t it very smooth! Very exciting! 】

(Hoshino: ...Are you a devil?! I should just hold on to my compressed biscuits.)

Looking at the compressed biscuits in the basket, Hoshino thought that eating two packs at a time would be enough to last him until Hualan City.

【Ding! Host, are you planning to just eat compressed biscuits...]

(Hoshino: Yes, it’s cheap, delicious and can fill your stomach. Isn’t this perfect food?)

Hoshino said to the system seriously, as if there was no problem at all.

【Ding! As a system, even if you, the host, do not buy goods from me, I still have to remind the host that eating like this is not good for your health. 】

(Hoshino: No need~, you must know that economical, affordable and portable food like compressed biscuits are rare. It is my good partner in school! It saved me from the clutches of the school cafeteria. ! It is a favor given to us by God!)

I saw that Hoshino seemed to have turned into a saint, holding the compressed biscuits in his arms devoutly, as if the compressed biscuits were his Bible, and even behind him there was a holy light... It's strange, so Host, are you exaggerating...

Seeing that the host was so insistent, the system didn't say anything more. Then Hoshino came to the cashier to pay.

Just as Hoshino lowered his head to take out the money from his wallet, many colorful ribbons suddenly fell down with a bang, followed by a round of applause, and a man who looked like a supermarket manager walked up to Hoshino with a smile on his face.

"Congratulations on becoming our millionth customer. In order to give back to new and old customers, please come with me to receive your mysterious prize!"

"......ha?"

......

Under the leadership of the store manager, Hoshino was still surprised that he had won the lottery and did not react, so he was taken to the reception room of the supermarket in a daze.

"Sir, please wait here for a moment. I will go to collect your prize now."

The store manager bowed slightly to Hoshino, turned and left the room.

"I'm so lucky. I didn't expect to win."

"Scorpion~."

Scorpio flew to the coffee table and ate the snacks on it, while Hoshino sat on the sofa, curiously wondering what the so-called prize would be. At this time, the system's doubtful voice came from his mind.

【Ding! It’s so strange, I don’t understand...]

(Hoshino: What’s wrong with the system? What’s weird?)

【Ding! According to the recent learning results of this system, so-called surprise activities like this are essentially a kind of publicity behavior. Awards in such activities generally need to be in public to achieve the best publicity effect. Now the host is brought into this empty reception room. Doesn't this conform to business logic? 】

(Hoshino: Uh, is that so? I don’t know much about this.)

【Ding! It seems that this system still needs to be learned...]

The system was talking to itself. Suddenly, the whole room suddenly started to tremble. Hoshino was so frightened that he immediately jumped up from the sofa. Scorpio also instantly flew to Hoshino's head and looked around.

"The ground, there was an earthquake?!"

【Ding! Key progress has been detected, and the side mission "Escape into Darkness" is now released: Join Team Rocket, reward: money +1000, failure: none. (I, the Judge of Darkness!)]

(Hoshino: System! What do you mean by this mission!!!)

【Ding! Me, I don’t know either! The task modules are automatically triggered and are not managed by me! I'm responsible for selling things! 】

boom--!

The violent sound interrupted the protagonist's thoughts. With the sound of mechanical rotation all around, Hoshino was surprised to find that the walls around him were gradually rising...or the floor was falling!

The shaking gradually stabilized, or it could be said that the room was slowly descending, like an elevator. As if he had figured something out, Hoshino held Scorpio in his arms and comforted him for a while before putting him into the elf ball and sitting on the sofa waiting for the descent to stop.

As long as the tasks can be completed...

After an unknown amount of time, the room finally stabilized, and a new door appeared on the wall in front of Hoshino.

"Well, you should probably ask me to come over."

As Hoshino spoke, he walked to the door. As if sensing someone approaching, the metal door slowly opened, revealing the room behind the door.

The furnishings of this room are very simple, with only a huge monitor and a chair, and not even a light.

That's right! There wasn't even a light, so Hoshino could only see through the light coming from the conference room behind him.

Just as Hoshino was considering whether to go in, a deep voice sounded.

"Won't you come in?"
