Sato found the items he was looking for, but after checking the prices of the three products, his expression darkened. The calcium supplements were fine, costing 100 points per bottle of 100 tablets, which he could still afford. However, the powerful electric fan and the portable laptop posed a bigger problem.
Both of these items were high-tech products developed by Team Rocket and were undoubtedly valuable. The electric fan cost 1000 points, while the portable laptop required a hefty 2000 points.
"It seems I'll have to sell some PokeBlocks to earn points. To quickly enhance my strength, taking a bit of risk is worthwhile," Sato thought as he looked at the laptop on the screen.
As a past life programmer, having a good computer was extremely beneficial and crucial for him. With a personal, high-quality laptop, he could better showcase his skills. A computer would be an excellent tool for collecting and analyzing data.
After considering his plans for the following day, Sato closed the computer, set the alarm on his Team Rocket watch, and lay down on his bed. He quickly cleared his mind and soon drifted off to sleep.
The next day at 7 a.m., the alarm on his Team Rocket watch went off right on time. Sato quickly opened his bleary eyes, turned off the alarm, and after a moment of contemplation, he opened his eyes again, feeling more alert.
His first action was to release Zubat, giving it two bottles of blood and a high-quality PokeBlock for breakfast. After a quick wash-up, Zubat finished it's breakfast as well.
Then, Sato recalled Zubat into it's PokeBall and left the dorm, heading straight for the cafeteria.
To get his body in optimal condition as soon as possible, Sato didn't skimp on his meal. He spent 5 points on a hearty breakfast, which included a large bottle of whole milk (the most valuable item), a big bowl of nutritious wheat porridge (with free refills), and several fresh fruits.
(Note: After deducting the 5 points spent on dinner and the 5 points spent on cow blood, Sato had 504 points remaining.)
Sticking to his usual eating habits, Sato took his time with the meal. While savoring each bite and thinking about the day's events, it took him nearly 30 minutes to finish the generous breakfast. Afterward, he quickly left the cafeteria and made his way to the mission hall.
Typically, not many people frequented the mission hall, and early in the morning, it was even emptier. When Sato arrived, he saw just three lone rangers selecting their desired freelance missions in front of the stone pillars. His arrival only elicited a brief glance from the trio, who radiated an air of "do not approach."
Seeing the nearly empty mission hall made Sato very happy. Ignoring the three solitary figures who seemed to radiate an unapproachable vibe, he quickly made his way to the isolated berry mixer in the corner.
As with the previous night, the supply station where the berry mixer was located had yet to open, and Sato was still the only person there.

After accounting for the several PokeBlocks he had consumed last night and the 120 medium-quality PokeBlocks he sold to Tanya, he had about 400 PokeBlocks left. Among them, the medium-quality PokeBlocks, which had initially been the most abundant, were now down to just 250.
This time, Sato decided to sell the medium-quality PokeBlocks in the internal network marketplace. Therefore, he needed to replenish his stock significantly.
Thanks to his experience, and since he was only making medium-quality PokeBlocks, this time Sato worked quickly. In under 20 minutes, he used the remaining 120 Oran Berries, 20 Nanab Berries, and 20 Tamato Berries, along with spending 400 points, to create 832 medium-quality PokeBlocks.
After completing the replenishment of his PokeBlocks, Sato quickly left the now-empty mission hall and headed towards the internal trade center located in the southernmost area of Team Rocket's underground base in Pewter City.
The internal trade center had the appearance of a rectangular black box. It had only one entrance, while exits were small doors on either side.
In contrast to the cold and quiet mission hall, the trade center was bustling with activity. When Sato arrived, a considerable number of Team Rocket members had gathered there, all wearing various Pokémon masks and queuing in an orderly manner.
At that moment, Sato was also wearing a Pikachu mask, which had been given to him by a Team Rocket member stationed at the entrance. The member informed him that new arrivals were required to wear masks when entering the center.
After about ten minutes of waiting in line, it was finally Sato's turn. He entered a small, enclosed room where it was just him and another Team Rocket member, who was also wearing a mask (similar to a bank counter setup).
"Quickly place your items for sale on the table; don't waste time," said the Team Rocket member, whose mask resembled a Gengar, as soon as Sato entered the room.
Once the door closed, Sato didn't waste any time either. He immediately placed his small package of prepared PokeBlocks on the table, and the other party quickly took the PokeBlocks in hand, examining them closely.
"PokeBlocks, and they're of quite good quality. Did you make these? How many do you have in stock?" After a few seconds, the Gengar-masked member asked Sato, his voice a bit excited.
As an appraiser who had handled countless items, the member knew about PokeBlocks and was well aware of their production difficulty and excellent recovery effects. Although the PokeBlocks Sato presented weren't the best he had seen, they were still pretty impressive.
"It seems you like them. Since that's the case, you're accepting my sales commission, right? I won't beat around the bush. I have more than 800 PokeBlocks of this quality, and I want to sell them at a price of five points each," Sato replied, his tone calm, without directly answering the first question.
Sato wasn't surprised that the PokeBlocks were accepted; however, he was taken aback by the appraiser's enthusiasm. It was clear that the appraiser was very interested in the PokeBlocks Sato had made, which made him internally raise his guard.
"My apologies for asking inappropriate questions. Yes, sir, no problem. We accept your sales commission. Personally, I suggest you sell them at eight points each. PokeBlocks of this quality are quite rare and are excellent supplies for training Pokémon. I believe many people would be willing to pay a premium for them, and your quantity seems a bit low," the astute appraiser said, quickly calming down and speaking in a normal tone after hearing Sato's response.
"No, I'd prefer to sell them at my set price. As for the quantity, I will come back to replenish them regularly," Sato nodded and replied in a flat tone.
While the prospect of high profits was tempting, Sato was well aware of the significant risks involved. He knew he couldn't be too greedy; a moderate price would suffice, and the quantity had to be kept within a very good range. 800 medium-quality PokeBlocks would barely make a splash in the Pewter City Team Rocket market, which would make it harder for any malicious individuals to target him.
"Developing quietly at the beginning and making a fortune without drawing attention is the wise choice," Sato thought to himself.
The two continued their conversation for about two minutes. After Sato provided his point account information, he left the trade center through the reserved exit without any hesitation.
