After leaving Coaster Island, Leo flew for more than ten minutes, holding little Eevee in his arms, and finally stopped in an empty sea area.
He looked at Coaster Island in the distance and murmured. "Will the movement be transmitted through this location?"
In addition, he looked in the direction where the little guy keep struggling.
It's just that little Eevee's body is tightly restrained by Leo, and it can't make any big moves. A newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. Not only was it not afraid of being at a high altitude, but it also struggled stubbornly in Leo's arms, not afraid of falling into the sea below.
"Stop making trouble, be good," he said, rubbing Eevee's little head. Regardless of Eevee's dissatisfied look, Leo smiled and continued, "Little guy, let me show you your new companion today!"
Eevee shook its head, but couldn't escape from the clutches of the devil. In the end, it had to accept its fate and let Leo play with it.
Leo laughed loudly, and with a thought, a Pokéball with golden skin appeared in the palm of his hand. "Come out, Wailord!!!"
The Pokéball was thrown. The sky suddenly became gloomy. A huge creature appeared in the middle of the ocean.
In an instant, the seawater surged, like a huge tsunami rising high and rushing in all directions.
"ROOOAAAARRRRR!!!"
The Wailord roared. It was obviously a friendly roar, but in the ears of Leo and Eevee, it sounded terrifying.
"So Cool!" Leo said, looking at the Wailord, which was as huge as mountains.
"Bah! Bah!"
Little Eevee, frightened by the huge Wailord, kept crawling into Leo's arms.
Leo touched its head to soothe the little guy. Seeing the huge waves continuing toward Coaster Island, Leo quickly shouted, "Wailord, use the freezing beam in that direction, don't let those waves destroy that country!"
"ROAR!"
The Wailord let out an ear-splitting cry, opened its huge mouth, and a freezing beam condensed in its mouth.
The temperature within a radius of several hundred meters dropped sharply. The freezing beam caught up with the nearly 100-meter-high wave. The thick frozen beam halted the surging waves in place, turning the entire huge wave into a giant ice sculpture that slowly sank to the bottom of the sea.
Leo took Eevee and landed on the Wailord. The huge body made him feel as if he was on a small island, very stable.
"This freezing ability seems to be a little less potent than Aokiji..." Leo murmured, recalling the battle on the top.
After the freezing display, Leo summoned the computer Rotom for a full-body examination of the Wailord.
[The Wailord]
[Level: 65]
"Level 65? Ace's Charizard is level 42," Leo noted, thinking about Pokémon levels in the pirate world.
He can roughly sort out the corresponding levels of Pokémon levels in the pirate world. Level 40-50 is equivalent to the top group of Vice Admirals in the navy. Level 60-70 is roughly the level above the Pirate King and below the Navy Admiral.
"If it were in the sea, the Wailord might be able to defeat those devil fruit users in an instant," Leo speculated.
Although he doesn't have much pursuit of combat power, the strength of the Wailord has still reached the top level in the world.
Leo smiled, "Then, let's officially start my journey as a businessman!"
Leo, holding Eevee, teleported into space inside the body of the Wailord.
Suddenly, a sky that was no different from the outside world came into view.
Half of the space was built as a small courtyard by Leo, and the other half was used for living.
The courtyard is full of flowers and green grass, exuding a vibrant atmosphere.
The style of the room is simple and bright.
Huge floor-to-ceiling windows directly bring in sunlight from the sky.
Although it is not real sunshine, it feels just as comfortable.
"These points are well spent!" Leo exclaimed.
He put down Eevee and let him play freely in the courtyard.
Leo returned to the house and summoned the computer Rotom again, wiggling his ten flexible fingers a few times.
"Let's work hard today and finish the rest of the preparations."
"It's been almost a week since time travel, and it's time to design new functions for consumers."
According to the original plan, Leo intended to integrate his mobile phone into the Rotom system today, initiating a major update.
The functional system of the mobile phone Rotom is currently too basic. Aside from contacting Leo and detecting Pokémon levels, it only offers a chat function.
Without new functions, how can he stimulate consumers' desire to spend? If he can't ignite this desire, how can Leo call himself a businessman from another world?
So, he decided to invest some time in upgrading Rotom's mobile phone functions.
While not an expert in business, Leo is well-versed in how to encourage impulsive purchases.
Thinking of the pitfalls he had fallen into before, he felt a moment of regret. However, things are different now. He can now uncover those pitfalls and watch others fall into them.
In an instant, Leo felt a surge of inspiration.
"Firstly, the mall system is a must-have!"
"Pokémon can serve as an introduction, and the transaction conditions should be relaxed. However, in the future, we must focus on these Pokémon products!"
Drawing inspiration from online games, where free games have zero entry thresholds, Leo plans to run Pokémon cultivation like a game.
Pokémon is the ticket to the game! For combat players like Ace, Leo positions them as power-seekers, and the appeal of consumption lies in gaining more strength and satisfying curiosity.
For combat players, he believes that Pokémon with high talents and strength limits can be recommended, such as those found in various places.
Then, through the mall, items that can enhance Pokémon's strength will be continuously sold—items like evolution stones, exclusive training equipment, energy cubes, and special function props. These items will be particularly attractive to power-seekers like Ace.
As for Joffrey, Leo positions him as a strategic player. Strategic players aim to improve the environment or expand territory through Pokémon.
For strategic players, Leo can recommend Pokémon like Caterpies and Magnemites, enabling them to build Pokémon textile mills, power plants, and other production buildings.
Leo added a key symbol on both sides of "Strategy Player."
To cater to this player type, the mall can offer items like cheap but highly nutritious Pokémon food, along with production lines used by Pokémon, factory construction drawings, etc.
After classifying products, Leo moves on to classify consumers into different levels. This classification doesn't refer to combat levels but rather to their consumption levels.
Although consumers are said to be equal on the surface, how can a consumer who spends one million be equal to one who spends one dollar?
Leo decides to follow the grading method in mobile games.
"Let's go with Vip12345..."
"The one with a recharge of 100 million Beli is Vip1..."
"1 billion Beli Vip2..."
"5 billion Beli VIP3..."
"10 billion Beli VIP4..."
"20 billion Beli VIP5..."
"Let's leave it like this for now."
Looking at the planned levels, Leo is satisfied. Now that the levels have been divided, consumers of different levels must be treated differently.
"Vip0 and Vip1 must have no special treatment. How is it possible for them to expect preferential treatment without depositing more money?"
Vip2 can get Rotom mobile, place orders through the mall, and contact me for meetings.
Vip3 can purchase skill machines and some less powerful affinity abilities. Vip4 can enable Mega evolution, Z-moves, and Dynamax.
For Vip5, they can purchase enhanced Pokémon or powers, wave guides, superpowers, and ancient powers!
After picking and choosing for a long time, Leo completes the prototype of the mall.
"So, the rest... I'll leave it to you, Rotom."
Pointing to the text document he created, Leo says with a smile.
...
Three hours later.
Coaster Palace.
Joffrey, who was discussing with the ministers how to build a Caterpie textile factory, was suddenly stunned. He quickly took out the vibrating Rotom and examined it carefully.
When he saw the Caterpie textile factory production line pushed on the homepage of the mall, he immediately became entangled.
"How about... exchanging for another 2 billion points?"
