This is a one-time consumable item.
The diamond skin has a hidden trigger condition.
If a diamond-attribute skill is used, all the Eternal Diamonds created will be consumed, disappearing after dealing damage and not remaining on the field for one to two minutes.
So, it increases damage by consuming the energy of the Eternal Purity Diamond, and the increase is quite significant, equivalent to a bonus to this element.
The key to triggering this bonus is the Diamond Skin. This bonus cannot be triggered by the Diamond Skin alone; both the Diamond Skin and the Diamond Skin need to work together to trigger it.
Although it's a bit complicated, the principle is similar to that of gem-type items; you can treat the Everlasting Diamond as a one-time use item.
As for the chill generated by activating the Extreme Diamond Storm, it is very likely a special phenomenon caused by consuming the Constant Purity Diamond, which has a slowing effect and also has a certain chance of causing the target to fall into a frostbite state.
Chapter 71 First Auction
Bulong~
Frostbite?
No wonder I felt like I had frostbite.
The electric dragon was slow to realize that it had just been hit by a Extreme Drill Storm, and there were faint signs of frostbite on its skin.
After repeated verification, the Extreme Diamond Storm does indeed carry a chill, which seems to be unfriendly to Dragon-type Pokémon. Charizard has fire resistance and can use the heat it emits to counteract the chill.
Electric Dragon is having a bit of bad luck.
Twice as weak ice.
I almost couldn't withstand the chill.
Whether by coincidence or not, Bai Hongqi's skill name happens to fit the characteristics of frostbite. Extreme Diamond Storm is just Extreme Cold Diamond Storm, but its additional effects are different from Diancie's Diamond Storm.
[Extreme Diamond Storm: Power 110, Accuracy 95%, reduces the target's speed by 30%, and has a 50% chance to inflict Frostbite.]
According to his understanding, Diamond Storm has a power of 100, a hit rate of 95%, and a 50% chance to increase the user's defense by two levels.
These two exclusive skills.
Each has its own characteristics.
Extreme Diamond Storm deals more damage.
Both have the same hit rate.
The only difference is the additional effects of the skills.
If you are hit by Diamond Storm, your speed will be reduced by 30%, which is not good for most Pokémon. The chance of being frozen is 50%, the same as Diamond Storm.
The strength of the Frostbite status lies in the fact that when a Pokémon is Frostbite, the damage from non-fixed damage special moves is halved, and it continuously loses 1/16 of its maximum HP.
Reducing the damage of the opponent's special moves is quite powerful. Whether it's the regular Steelix or the Diamond Steelix, their Special Defense stat is extremely low, making them practically paper-thin.
If you inflict a frostbite status on your opponent, their special skill output will be greatly limited, which is equivalent to a reverse boost to their special defense. This is much more practical than Diamond Storm.
Obviously, increasing your own defense is not as effective as reducing the opponent's special skill output, even though the trigger probability is a bit low.
Haha~
Diamond Steel Serpent is practicing.
It continuously creates a diamond storm around it.
Bai Hong glanced at Charizard and Ampharos, then suddenly had a brilliant idea: "Don't you know Ice Fang? You can try using Ice Fang while you're using Drill Storm."
Gahe~
Do as Diamond Steel Snake does.
Then it discovered a surprise.
The cold air released by the Frozen Teeth can actually increase the chance of triggering the frostbite status. That's too overpowered.
The combination of Drill Storm and Ice Fang is the best way to deal with Dragon-type Pokémon, especially Flying Dragon which is four times weak to Ice.
Budding~
The faucet feels numb.
I guess I won't spar with Diamond Steelix again next time, even if Diamond Steelix provokes me, I won't budge.
What the hell is this?
It's clearly a diamond-attribute skill.
However, it can cause the target to suffer from frostbite.
The Diamond Steelix wasn't satisfied with just being a fighter, so it turned around to challenge Charizard and Ampharos for a sparring match, only to find them gone.
Haha~
It stood there, frozen.
I wondered why he was running so fast?
"Don't bother looking anymore, Charizard and Ampharos have escaped." Bai Hong sighed helplessly. After witnessing the terror of the Extreme Diamond Storm, who would want to encounter its deadly attack again?
Jiejiejie~
Gengar couldn't help but laugh out loud.
So this guy was here.
"You can train with Gengar."
A wicked smile crept across Bai Hong's lips. He had finally found a chance to mess with Gengar, so how could he possibly let it go?
Hey~
Gengar did not appear.
It slipped away silently.
Haha~
Don't run away!
The Diamond Steel Serpent cried too late.
There was no trace of Gengar around.
Left with no other choice, it turned to Jirachi, but Jirachi, showing no mercy, suddenly unleashed a powerful psychic wave that seized control of the Diamond Steelix's body and flung it far away.
"Sorry, I won!"
Jirachi is such a clever little devil.
The sparring session was over before it even started, and Diamond Steelix could only crawl back dejectedly. It's really hard to find a sparring partner these days.
"There are no competitions recently, so there's no need to be in such a hurry. If you can't sleep tonight, make more diamonds. I'm going to put them in Yongxin's Lucky Shop and sell them at a high price."
Bai Hong has three diamonds in his hand.
A large diamond.
Two small diamonds.
These are all flawless diamonds.
It has constant cleanliness properties.
He plans to sell it as jewelry, a new product from Dragon Nest Ranch. Its purity is higher than that of diamonds sold on the market, and its biggest selling point is that it is big and sparkly.
The Diamond Serpent was a little tired, but it still did its best to create two small diamonds.
Five diamonds are enough!
Bai Hong yawned and went back to his room to sleep.
The next morning, he first contacted Yongxin using his Rotom mobile phone, and then sent the five diamonds over.
"Wow, Dragon Valley Ranch can produce diamonds? Does anyone believe that? How much are you planning to sell them for?" Yongxin poured out five sparkling diamonds from his small bag, so excited that he was incoherent.
"What's the big deal? Everyone knows I have the Diamond Steel Serpent, so why can't I produce diamonds? You set the price. I don't know much about the diamonds sold by those big brands." Bai Hong said while eating breakfast.
“Diamonds are luxury goods, mainly relying on brand premium. They are touted as incredibly valuable when they are sold, but when it comes to recycling them, they are said to be worthless,” Yongxin revealed the truth.
"I know this."
"You know that, yet you still ask me to set the price."
"How about this, we'll label it as a new product from Dragon Nest Ranch, and sell the larger diamond for 20 Alliance Coins?" Bai Hong suggested a relatively cheap price.
"The big diamond is bigger than an egg, and it's selling for 20 Alliance Coins? Isn't that too cheap? If a big jewelry brand buys it, it'll be auctioned off as a rare diamond in no time," Yongxin complained.
“Since we can’t decide the price, let’s hold an auction. Do you know how to hold an auction? Anyway, the highest bidder wins.” Bai Hong slapped his forehead, wondering why he hadn’t thought of this before.
"No, but I can ask Daiwu for help. He should have relevant connections." Yongxin added Daiwu as a friend and chatted with him last night, mainly about Bai Hong.
"Is Daigo still in Lucerne City?"
"Ok!"
"Then go find him."
After hanging up the phone.
Yongxin immediately contacted Dawu.
When Daigo heard that Bai Hong was going to auction diamonds, he agreed without hesitation and arranged the auction venue in just half a day.
Bai Hong was a little surprised when he received the message. What kind of efficiency was this? They had just contacted each other in the morning, and the auction was starting that evening.
At 2 PM, he rode his fire-breathing dragon towards Luna City, arriving at the auction before nightfall, as it was the first time Dragon Nest Ranch had offered diamonds as a product.
"This way!"
Yongxin waved.
He seems to have a lot of free time.
The auction process is overseen by relevant staff, but afterwards, venue and labor costs must be paid, along with various other miscellaneous expenses not included in the calculation.
