Chapter 487: Wild Coffee Monster Appears! (First update in 5015, second update around 0:00)
The sun was shining brightly in Los Santos in early October, and the temperature was still over 30 degrees Celsius near noon. The mist rising from the ground distorted the light, and the sunlight was so strong that it seemed as if it was "concentrated" by a huge convex lens and then hit the ground.
"I told you to come out early. Today is Monday, and the only parking space left in the public parking lot is probably the rooftop. Why don't you go there?"
A Toyota Land Cruiser, which looked a bit old, circled up and down twice in UCLA's Visitor Parking Lot No. 8, but couldn't find a parking space, so it slowly drove out of the gate.
In the passenger seat of the Land Cruiser, a white young man with a hairstyle similar to Ron's from Harry Potter was complaining while playing games on his mobile phone.
"The sun is too strong today. It's too hot to park on the rooftop and pick up the car. Myne, can you help me see if there's a parking space on the right? My view is blocked and I can't see."
In the driver's seat, a young girl wearing a white denim miniskirt and a light blue low-cut knitted vest looked at the roadside parking space on her side with a worried expression. She gathered her long hair by her ears and asked her boyfriend next to her.
The knitted vest was not designed to be tight-fitting, but she managed to make it look like a tight-fitting top, with the lower edge faintly visible. It was clearly just a normal top, but when a girl wore it, she looked like Fu Liji.
Judging from her face, this girl is no more than twenty years old, and must be younger than that.
But looking at her figure, she looks like a peach in July - you can tell how ripe she is just by looking at her without even biting it.
Myne, who had a Ron hairstyle, stared at his phone screen and responded casually, "Look, there's no parking space. You're just going to renew your bear card anyway, so just park on the side of the road. I'll wait for you in the car with the air conditioning on."
"Ah! Sid, turn around! There's a steel-armored rhino behind us! We're lucky it's only a dozen meters away."
Myne excitedly patted Sid's thigh, his eyes still fixed on the Pocket Monsters Go map on his phone.
Less than three months after the game was released, it became popular throughout North Malaysia and successfully gave Nintendo a new lease on life. Every day on the street, you could see people holding up their phones to catch the balls.
The young girl named Sid bit her lip in dissatisfaction, but said nothing. She turned the steering wheel skillfully, turned the car forward a few meters, and her eyes lit up.
Isn't this just a parking space? And it's so wide!
"Don't stop, it's right in front...Okay, we can catch it...Hey, hey, hey, don't move...Beautiful! I caught it!"
Sid parked the car with a helpless look on his face and picked up his backpack from the back seat: "Maine, I'm going to update my ID first, so you wait in the car."
Maine was busy sharing the joy of catching the armored rhino with his friends. When he heard his girlfriend's voice, he looked up impatiently and responded, but his eyes happened to fall on Sid's looming lower edge.
Sid took a tissue and put it in to wet his face. The weather was too hot and even with the air conditioning in the car, it was easy to sweat.
Gurgle.
Mayne suddenly became interested, swallowed his saliva, and was about to ask his girlfriend to wait, but Sid had already opened the car door and jumped out.
Forget it, let’s talk about it when I get home and finish my daily tasks first.
Myne's attention quickly shifted back to the game.
After completing a round of daily tasks and cultivating the monsters in his pocket, an hour has passed.
Why hasn't Sid come back yet?
Mayne stretched and was about to call Sid when a notification suddenly popped up on his phone.
"A wild Kabi has appeared!"
Wild Kabi!?
Mayne took a deep breath and quickly entered the game. When he saw the icon on the map, he couldn't help but blush with excitement.
Kabi! The rarest pocket monster in the current version! Accounts with Kabi can fetch at least 100 more yuan!
It's right nearby! Wilson Square! Less than an ounce!!
Mayne rubbed his hands nervously and looked out the window.
Why hasn't Sid come back yet?
Forget it, never mind, let’s go catch the Kabi monster first. If we’re late, we might not even be able to grab a spot.
In a hurry, Mayne turned off Sid's old Land Cruiser, pulled out the car keys, stared at the AR map intently, and ran towards the monster icon with a big grin and a red face.
As for whether Sid will be angry, who cares? I am from Jude, my mother is a legal officer at Paramount, and my father is a distribution manager at Universal Music. A country girl like Sid is dating me because she wants my resources. I don't lack women.
What I'm missing is the Kabi!
Chibi, here I come!
UCLA Kerkhove Hall, Bear Card Management Center.
"It takes 10 working days. Do I need to mail the bear card after it's made? I have to pay for the courier fee myself."
Sid bit his lip. "No, can I make an appointment to pick up the card?"
"We don't accept appointments. You can check whether the work is done after 10 working days. It costs 25 dollars."
A middle-aged woman with curly hair lazily took the application form handed over by Sid, without even looking at it, and stamped it twice.
Bear Card is the name of UCLA's student card. It costs $25 to replace it if it is damaged or lost. The only good thing is that the replacement process is faster than other procedures in the United States and can be completed in just two weeks.
Sid took out a credit card and swiped it, then walked out of the Bear Card Management Center in a slightly depressed mood. Many men nearby couldn't help but pay their respects when they saw Sid trembling and jumping for joy.
Sid was already used to such looks, and he walked through the lobby of Kerkhof Hall with the bear in his bag without changing his expression.
She is actually not a student at UCLA. She came to LA six or seven years ago and wanted to be a child star. She played some minor roles in bad movies and didn't have the chance to stand out, so she went back to school. Two years ago, due to other things, she came to Los Santos again, hoping to make a name for herself in Hollywood.
She originally thought that she had a few friends from her hometown in Hollywood, and with her figure and looks, she would be able to start from small roles here and work her way to the pinnacle of life step by step.
But what I didn't expect was that after a year here, I still had no job opportunities except working as a receptionist at Universal Studios for a few months.
As a small town girl with a typical "blonde-haired, fat-bodied" image, she obviously does not meet the "diversified" role requirements of Hollywood in recent years.
To make matters worse, Hollywood has been shut down for quite some time in the past six months, and news of the cancellation or postponement of various projects can be heard every day.
Those stars who have already made money are fine, at least they don’t have to worry about their livelihood, but it is too difficult for a small role like her to continue struggling in Hollywood.
So, confused, two months ago, Sid signed up for two business courses at UCLA's School of Continuing Education.
Mayen is her boyfriend whom she met at a party a month ago. He is studying music industry at UCLA and has started his junior year. He is a formal student of UCLA.
Sid's relationship with Maine wasn't just for his family's connections.
Mainly because of confusion.
What will the future hold? Should I give up?
After completing the card replacement procedure, Sid looked at the strong sunlight in the sky and suddenly wanted to drink something cold.
There is a Carl's Jr. (selling hamburgers and milkshakes) at the back door of Kerkhove Hall. As Sid walked out of the burger shop with two freshly made milkshakes, he saw an extremely conspicuous classic car parked not far away.
Cadillac V16!
Sid recognized the old car at a glance, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he immediately went over.
She is a small-town girl who grew up on a farm in the West, and her biggest hobby is classic cars.
At the age of 14, she started driving a Ford pickup truck that had been in service on her family's farm for more than 60 years. At the age of 16, like many high school students, she also drove to and from school in a Volvo that was seven or eight years older than her.
The Volvo her grandfather gave her had a broken oil pan and leaked oil badly. Every time it was parked in the school parking lot, a puddle would leak out in the parking space.
Because her classmates maliciously mocked her for "leaking oil" in the parking lot, she had to fix the car herself. She solved the oil leakage problem with a piece of iron sheet and cardboard, which also made her very interested in classic cars.
Today, she is considered a hardcore classic car enthusiast.
Sid carefully examined every detail of the V16.
Is it really a V16? Refurbished or a replica?
Huh? Is this really the V16 chassis? The dashboard and headlights don't look like replicas either...
Could this be the original V16?
How is that possible? It's eighty years old, it must be a renovation.
I don't know which master refurbished it, but his technique is so advanced that there is no sign of refurbishment at all. If it is auctioned, it will be sold for at least one million yuan.
As Cadillac's former top luxury model, the V16 is not as valuable in the second-hand market as the Duesenberg, which has only a few units left and is worth tens of millions of dollars, but it is the most coveted car for classic car fans in the United States.
Because it is the world's first car to use a V16 engine, a symbol of McLaren technology, and a representative of McLaren's dream.
Even if there is only an original chassis left, and the rest are cheap parts, or even a completely scrapped car that can't start, it can easily be sold at a high price of more than 100,000 yuan in the auction market!
Sid quickly took out his cell phone and took a lot of pictures of this legendary V16.
Do you want to find someone to take a few photos of you and this car?
Huh? Did Mayne just pass by?
Out of the corner of her eye, Sid seemed to see her boyfriend running hurriedly past the entrance of the UCLA shopping mall with his cell phone in hand. Before she could call him, he disappeared around the corner in the blink of an eye.
Huh? Why are there so many people running over there? What's going on?
Forget it, Sid sighed in disappointment, turned his gaze, and saw a tall and strong Asian man walking towards the planetarium across the street.
"Hey! Handsome guy over there, can you take some pictures of me and this V16?"
Sid smiled brightly and waved at the Yayi.
Yayi was stunned for a moment, then smiled with eight teeth in the sunlight and took her phone: "Okay."
Seeing this smile, Sid couldn't help but blush and squeezed his legs together inconspicuously.
——
Huh! Huh! Why are there so many people?
It was a scorching 30-degree day, and Mayne was sweating profusely as he rushed towards Wilson Square, panting heavily. Before he even reached the location where the blue fat man had appeared, he saw a large group of people all around him, all holding their phones and rushing towards Wilson Square from all directions, shouting, "Kabbi! Kabbi!"
Damn! I knew it! How could a rare pocket monster like Kabiki be left unattended?!
Mayne was very anxious and quickened his pace.
He knew that a super rare wild pocket monster like the Kabi Monster would only survive on the map for less than half an hour once it was spawned.
Although theoretically everyone has a chance, it has taken me more than ten minutes to run over here, and the escape rate of the monster is very high. What if I am unlucky and get up early but arrive late, and I don’t catch it when the map refreshes? Wouldn’t I be crying to death?
Not to mention that there are buildings all around this kind of location. Once the GPS drifts, you may not be able to click on the model of the Kabi monster.
He quickly took out his cell phone and locked onto the fat blue figure on the map while running, fearing that he would be eliminated by the system by the time he squeezed into the position.
Whoosh whoosh, caught up.
Mayne held the phone breathlessly. Although AR was not turned on, he still ritually aimed it forward and clicked on the Kabi model on the map to enter the capture interface.
Dozens of young students who came to catch the kappa monster were all holding up their cell phones, like some kind of strange ritual.
Dozens of people were chattering around the position of the Chibi Monster. Some had already opened their Poké Balls, while others were still changing for raspberries.
"Damn! The super ball was also knocked away!" Mayne was so anxious that he was sweating. He quickly threw another ball. His hands were stiff with nervousness, but he didn't even get a Great judgment.
It is impossible to capture the pocket monster go indefinitely within the refresh time. After throwing 3 balls, the monster's escape probability will increase sharply. Once it escapes, the Kabi monster will disappear completely.
"Caught! Kabi!" A cheer came from the crowd.
Has someone caught it? Myne's hand trembled, and the ball on the screen was thrown out.
"Oops!" Mayne was about to curse his clumsy hands when his phone flashed and the word "Excellent" appeared.
Myne's phone vibrated a few times, and a white halo appeared in the center of the screen, spreading out from the center of the Poké Ball. The Poké Ball on the screen locked with a "click", and a golden halo appeared on the ground.
The Kabi monster didn't jump out again!
Myne's face flushed, his breathing became rapid, and his heart beat like a drum.
Success?
"You caught the Chibi!"
A notification of successful capture popped up on the screen.
Yay! It worked!
Finally caught it!
"Hahahahaha~" Mayne laughed heartily, looking at the reward settlement interface with great satisfaction. He then stood there and took a screenshot and shared it on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and Tumblr...
"How do you catch a Chibi? It's simple. Take out your Ultra Ball and—throw it. [Sunglasses]"
The thirty-minute refresh time passed in a flash. Among the dozens of players in the square, only a few caught the Kabi monster. Those who caught it were overjoyed, while those who didn't were beating their chests and stamping their feet.
Dozens of players did not disperse, and began to add each other as friends and share albums.
Myne, who was in high spirits, chatted enthusiastically with several girls about his gaming experience. He almost forgot the time and even forgot his girlfriend. When he remembered, he glanced at his phone and fuck!
It’s been an hour!
I forgot, Sid must have completed the card replacement procedure.
Feeling guilty, Mayne picked up his phone and called Sid.
Why didn’t you answer?
Forget it, let’s go back to the parking lot first.
Anyway, she didn't call me, so she probably went shopping again.
Mayne was staring at the coffee monster on his phone with a crazy look on his face, muttering "my baby" while walking across Wilson Square and the Student Activity Center towards Parking Lot 8.
Huh? Why is there an antique car parked here?
This vintage car looks quite beautiful, with a swooping winged angel on the front. Could it be a Rolls-Royce?
I remember Sid seemed to like classic cars, right? I'll ask her about it when I see her later.
Mayne took out his cell phone, approached the vintage car and took a picture.
Huh? Why is this car shaking so much? Is there someone moving around inside?
Mayne approached the V16 with a lewd smile, but found that the windows were completely dark and he could not see anything inside.
Tsk!
Forget it, never mind.
I caught the Chibi Monster!
Mayne licked his teeth, whistled, and walked briskly toward the parking lot.
When he reached the ground parking space at the entrance of the parking lot, before he even opened the car door, Mayne's face turned pale.
All four doors were open, the glove box and the armrest box were opened, and the interior of the car was in a mess.
Shit! I was so anxious to catch the kabby monster that I forgot to lock the car!
This is no ordinary Chibi! This is a Gigantamax Shiny Chibi!
While Maine was nervously trying to capture the Chibi, Sid was also caught in a tough battle with the Chibi.
Sid had no idea his Lantern, already fully evolved, would be so vulnerable to a Gigantamaxed Glitter Chibi! Both Lanterns were deformed! He could only rely on his less evolved Splashtork to barely hold his own.
"Wait... that's my boyfriend."
Sid, who was struggling to hold on under the attack of the Chibi Monster, suddenly saw through the car window that Maine, who was holding a mobile phone and grinning, was walking towards him from the direction of Wilson Square.
Fang Yu just waved his hand, and all the car windows darkened.
Automatic privacy glass?
Is this car modified so much? It just looked like ordinary laminated glass and tempered glass.
And don’t all automatic privacy glasses turn white?
Sid didn't have time to think about it, the pressure brought to her by the Gigantamax Shiny Chibi was too great!
However, Aquamarine's moves are of no use to the Gigantamaxed Glitter. Neither the physical move with an attack power of 50 - Spin, nor the special move with an attack power of 60 - Water Wave, have any effect on the opponent!
Even if Splashtork tried to inflict damage to both sides and used its ultimate move - Wave Charge, which had an attack power of 120 but would also cause it to suffer considerable damage, the opponent's Chibi Monster remained motionless.
He just used a basic move to hit, and he watched helplessly as Myne was peeking outside, and let Chibi knock his Splashtork off the field.
In the end, Sid could only use the pocket monster he had barely trained - Kou Daicao - to fight with the opponent.
Fang Yu picked up a torn receipt that had fallen on the seat. With a slight movement of his finger, the receipt automatically returned to its original state. It was a receipt for reissuing a BruinCard, with a name written in the applicant column.
"Sydney Sweeney? You were born in Sydney?"
"You can't lose this. Those bastards at the Bear Card Center love to make things difficult for you. If you lose it, they'll just make you reapply."
Fang Yu touched Sid's hair, took a look at the receipt, and put it back into Sid's bag.
