'''

Flick is a special character who debuted in. He runs the Bug-Off every three weeks during the summer, replacing the role of Nat from previous games.

He will appear on random weekdays after the Resident Services have been upgraded to a building. He will show up at least once every three weeks. Flick offers to buy bugs from the player at a price 1.5x higher than Nook's Cranny price. He leaves at 5 AM the following day. Once per visit, the player can commission him to make a model of a bug, which requires giving Flick 3 specimen of the same bug. Flick will mail the model the following day. He is mentioned often by C.J., who refers to him as his partner.

 * "What - really?! You don't need them as spiritual guides? I mean - let me just add it up for you."
 * "Alright, get ready to transcend...'
 * "Once you save up 10 points, you can redeem them for bug-blessed relics I've obtained. Good luck!"
 * "The epic tale of my pilgrimage to obtain these relics should be written on a scroll or something!"
