Chapter 675: Rules
However, not all held items carrying the same value; items like Razor Fangs were considered relatively low in value.
Inside the held item area, there were several smaller sections, each with its own inspectors responsible for reviewing different types of held items.
All the items submitted for review were marked with a sequence number. When a merchant\'s number was called, they would submit their items to the staff.
Here, everyone was busy with their own tasks. Once they handed over their items for review, they would leave without lingering.
Unlike the Pokéblock area or the Incense area, where on-site crafting was required and tension ran high between participants, the review process here was faster.
However, despite the speed, the results of the review were not announced on the same day, unlike in other areas. Instead, they had to wait until the following day.
When it was Yuga\'s turn, he followed the instructions of the staff, submitted his items, filled out forms and documents, and then left with Anya.
The results of the review in the held item area would be announced the next morning. If a product was selected, the merchant would sign a supply agreement with the league on the spot.
For other items with same-day review announcements, supply agreements would also be signed the next day.
After submitting the Razor Fangs for review, Yuga saw no reason to stay any longer. He took Anya to the Incense area where Lain was.
He didn\'t feel comfortable leaving Lain alone with those old ghost and little ghost In incense area.
When Yuga arrived there, the review process in the Incense area was heating up.
Compared to the held item area or the Pokéblock area, the Incense area had very few participants. The incense tradition itself was rare, and there were even fewer who excelled at it.
During the competition, the incense makers were arranged in separate compartments, making it impossible for outsiders to see what was happening inside.
This was done to prevent the leakage of any family\'s secret incense-making techniques.
However, having compartments did not mean there was a chance to cheat; that was impossible.
All participating incense makers were thoroughly searched before entering the compartments. The materials and tools for making incense were provided free of charge by the league.
In other words, apart from themselves, they couldn\'t bring anything in.
The rules in the Pokéblock area were similar to those in the Incense area.
Yuga sat down next to Lain and, after asking, found out that it wasn\'t her turn yet.
The incense maker named Miyuki hadn\'t taken the stage either.
But Yuga noticed that Miyuki\'s sister, Yuki, and his bodyguard, Ando, were not present at the scene.
However, it was understandable. Anyone who had been slapped four times would not want to show their face, at least not immediately. Everyone had their pride, or at least they pretended to, and couldn\'t afford to lose it.
Seeing Yuga approach, Miyuki, who was not far from him, smiled sweetly at him.
It had to be said that Miyuki was indeed a very beautiful woman. If someone who didn\'t know better saw her, they might be genuinely entranced by her charm. However, Yuga could only feel a chill down his spine at the moment.
Lain was in a great mood and showed no signs of pre-competition nerves. Upon seeing Miyuki give Yuga a "bewitching" smile, she playfully elbowed him and said with a mischievous smile:
"Is she eyeing you? You really are quite lucky! She\'s a real beauty!"
Yuga\'s skin crawled at Lain\'s words, and he quickly shook his head, saying:
"No, please, don\'t say that. If she were interested in me, I\'d rather have you interested in me. I honestly think she\'s not as beautiful as you are. Don\'t let her exterior deceive you."
Yuga\'s words reflected his true feelings.
Indeed, purely based on appearance, Lain could be considered a beauty. However, compared to Miyuki, there was quite a gap.
But one should not judge people solely by their looks. No matter how Yuga looked at it, Lain was the more pleasant one to his eyes.
"What are you talking about? I wouldn\'t be interested in you!"
Hearing Yuga\'s remark, Lain\'s face displayed a suspicious blush, and she playfully punched Yuga\'s shoulder in shyness.
Soon, it was Lain\'s turn to take the stage. Coincidentally, Miyuki was also scheduled to go up in the same batch.
"Go for it!"
Yuga encouraged Lain.
"Don\'t worry!"
Lain made an okay gesture toward Yuga, exuding confidence as she took the stage and entered her designated compartment.
When Miyuki went on stage, she deliberately smiled at Yuga once again, but Yuga completely pretended not to see it.
After Lain and the others entered their compartments, the materials they needed were provided. About thirty minutes later, some participants had already successfully produced their incense.
However, Yuga wasn\'t in a hurry.
Because this competition only assessed the quality of the final incense products, not the speed of making them. Merchants like Yuga who supplied the league\'s shops didn\'t need to worry about whether they made incense quickly or slowly at home, as long as they regularly provided a sufficient quantity of high quality incense. Speed of production was irrelevant; quality was key.
There were nine types of incense, but not all participating merchants could produce all nine. Some only mastered one or two types.
YoYo Day Care was one of the few participants capable of producing all nine types of incense.
By the way, the incense house where Miyuki belonged also knew how to make all nine types of incense, showing significant strength and depth.
However, the league\'s shops didn\'t choose suppliers individually; they selected the top five from all participating merchants.
But each type of incense had its own ranking.
For example, YoYo Day Care\'s Rose Incense ranked in the top five among all merchants, while Sea Incense didn\'t make the cut. So, Rose Incense would be chosen, and Sea Incense would be left out.
The same rule applied to the Pokéblocks.
Different attribute Pokéblocks had separate rankings, with only the top five in each category being selected.
After more than an hour, Yuga finally saw Lain emerging from her compartment with the finished incense in hand.
However, Miyuki came out about three minutes earlier than Lain, making her slightly faster.
Just like Lain, she had also managed to produce all nine types of incense.
YoYo Day Care participated in the bidding with regular versions of the incense; they didn\'t have any enhanced versions.
After submitting the finished incense to the inspectors, Lain returned to sit beside Yuga, waiting for the inspection results together.
