Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 496 Courtyard Renovation! (Seeking monthly votes!)
Early the next morning.

Dreamy bid a reluctant farewell to Jinghe and the other little ones, taking with it its beloved snacks and TV series, which it estimated would be enough to "last" until the Spring Festival.

Wearing her pajamas, Jinghe stood on the second-floor balcony, looking down at the small courtyard below.

to be frank.

The yard is a bit small.

The family has big guys like Rock Giant, Dragonite, Urshifu, and Gengar. It's not a big problem for the family to squeeze together, but it's a bit small if friends come over for a gathering.

Moreover, with Dragonite's size of nearly three meters, the bathtub at home is no longer enough for it, and now it can only take a shower.

Not only it, but the martial arts bear master is similar; he also can't use a bathtub.

Therefore, Dragonite, Urshifu, and Gengar have made suggestions to Jinghe more than once.

How about we build a swimming pool in the garden?

If a swimming pool is added to the already small garden, the space will become even smaller, and the pool itself probably won't be big enough to accommodate the three of them.

Therefore, Jinghe's idea of ​​expanding the garden has been around for quite some time.

"Let's do it today!" Jing He said with rare boldness.

After using the money earned last time to buy ore for Young Gilas and various items for the little guys, there were still more than two million Alliance Coins left.

He was initially hesitant to use it, just in case he needed the money urgently and wouldn't have it available.

However, this trip, including Lugia Island and the Ghost's giant submarine, brought in a considerable amount of income. Although some of it has not yet been credited to their account, the total value is conservatively estimated to be at least 20 million Alliance Coins.

With increased wealth, one can improve their life.

Jinghe decided to use the two million Alliance Coins to expand and renovate the garden, dig a swimming pool, cultivate a field, and build a smaller, ordinary training ground to meet the needs of daily basic training.

I don't know if that's enough.

Expanding or renovating the garden would certainly be enough, but building a training ground would be quite expensive, even if it's just a regular training ground.

However, for something as specialized as building, you can't go wrong with De Wen.

Moreover, the land surrounding their house is also German, so if they want to expand, they have to rent this land.

Ever since.

After finishing breakfast, Jinghe rode his bicycle and headed straight for the Devon Corporation headquarters building with Gengar.

"Genga~~"

Gengar stood with his hands on his hips, his head tilted almost ninety degrees, looking at the tall building in front of him.

Wow, that's so high!
It would be so cool to jump down from there, right?
Jing He straightened the identity tag on his chest.

As a special consultant for Devon Corporation, this was his first time visiting Devon Corporation's headquarters in a real sense.

I've entered it many times in the game.
Enter the building.

Many people immediately turned their attention to it.

However, when they saw Jing He's identity tag, they all put it away.

Special Consultant!

How many specially appointed consultants are there in the entire German language department?
When the girls at the front desk saw Jinghe, they couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

"So handsome! He's just as good-looking as Daigo."

“His style is completely different from Daigo’s; this one looks more scholarly.”

"This isn't Jinghe! Teacher Jinghe? So Teacher Jinghe is our German language consultant?"

"They're here, they're coming!"

Just as they were talking, Jinghe walked towards the front desk with a smile.

However, Gengar was faster than him.

"哓GA!"

The chubby little purple-skinned boy suddenly appeared in front of several receptionists, startling them. Fortunately, the Devon employees were well-mannered and did not scream.

Jinghe pressed Gengar's head down impatiently, saying with a hint of apology:
"Feel sorry."

"I have an appointment with President Zvoki Hibiscus."

"Oh, oh, oh!" A girl whose face was slightly pale reacted and quickly dialed the president's office number.

After confirming the information, she said, "Ms. Jing, the club president invites you up to the top floor."

"Thank you."

Jinghe didn't linger, quickly leading Gengar away, grabbing its head and kneading it all the way, saying fiercely:

"Take it easy, or I might not let you train today!"

"Genga."

Gengar chuckled twice and quickly made the sign of the cross on its chest as a pledge.

Jinghe is quite unique among Pokémon trainers who use the threat of "not allowing training" as leverage.

As for Gengar being scary...
There's no way around it, it's just the nature of Gengar. Even Agatha Christie, a veteran Elite Four member who's been with Gengar for decades, still sees her Gengar as a mischievous child who never grew up.

Jinghe has always respected the nature of Pokémon, such as Gengar's mischievousness, Greatsmith's bird-hunting, and Dragonite's love of flying.

Of course, the premise is that it cannot be too excessive, otherwise there will be "punishment".

However, the little ones also knew Jinghe's temper and wouldn't go too far, lest Jinghe find a "handle" to use against them.

As you ascend the sightseeing elevator, the entire city of Kanaz gradually comes into view, revealing its complete outline, including the coastline to the west and the mountains to the east.

Ding--

The elevator made a sound and arrived at the top floor.

When the elevator doors opened, the old president of the Zivchi Mujin Society was standing alone at the elevator entrance, smiling as if he were waiting for him.

"Grandpa." Jing He was somewhat surprised, but still hurriedly called out.

"Hahaha—" Grandpa Zivchi Mujin smiled gently, "Jinghe, is this your first time at the Devon headquarters?"

"yes."

The two exchanged pleasantries as they walked toward the office.

"Huh?" A floating bubble emerged from behind the old man, and upon seeing Jinghe and Gengar, it clearly recognized them at a glance.

"Genga~~"

Gengar greeted the floating bubbles with a smile.

In the office, Jinghe also saw a Coco Doraemon resting in the corner, and an iron dumbbell lying on the desk as if it were a decoration.

Although Mr. Zifuji Hibiscus is not a trainer, he loves Pokémon very much, so he has quite a few Pokémon.

In the Pokémon world, many people keep Pokémon but are not trainers; these Pokémon are like family and friends to them.

The only difference is that Mr. Zvoich Mujin is much richer than the average person.

The office is large, but the decor is not luxurious; instead, it appears rather simple.

Apart from a huge desk, a bookshelf that almost covered a wall, and a few potted plants, there wasn't much else.

However, the floor-to-ceiling windows and the view outside are the unique "decorations" of this office.

Gengar, Bubble, and the curiously drifting Beldum were all perched on the windowsill, looking outside and whispering amongst themselves.

".no problem!"

After listening to Jing He's idea, Grandpa Zifuqi Mujin waved his hand without any politeness.

This is such a small matter that it's not even a big deal for a company as large as Devon.

If Jinghe hadn't refused the "gift from the student's parents," the old man would have given the house and land to Jinghe directly, and even built him a large villa.

The renovation of the courtyard, given the capabilities of the German construction team, should only take two or three days at most.

"Besides this matter, I actually have a few more questions."

After discussing the courtyard renovation, Jinghe spoke again.

If it were just a matter of the courtyard, he wouldn't have needed to make the trip at all; a simple phone call would have sufficed. It would have wasted both his own time and the old man's precious time, which was worth hundreds of thousands of dollars per second.

"You mean to ask about the 'Rathalos Capture Plan'?" the old man asked, seemingly having anticipated this.

He was aware of what had happened in Green Ridge City recently, especially after learning about the remnants of the Great Corydalis Holdings Company.

In Jinghe's opinion, the so-called "Rathalos capture plan" is a bit ridiculous.

Is Rayquaza, the mighty Sky Dragon, something that can be captured simply by combining the technology of a few companies and having a few Elite Four members?

Unless Rayquaza doesn't try to escape, there's absolutely no chance.

Of course, the most important part of this plan is the "∞ energy" possessed by Devon Corporation, which is also the only "variable" in Jing He's view. Jing He smiled, neither confirming nor denying.

He wasn't sure if he was capable of knowing these things right now.

Grandpa Zifuqi Mujin saw it very clearly.

Jing He, his beloved son's most trusted and respected teacher, is almost certain to become one of the Elite Four in the future, capable of defeating the Twin Dragons of Time and Space and kicking Lugia, and riding Rayquaza.
So after a brief pause, the old man said:
"Actually, the plan was called off because we felt the chances of success were slim, and failure could be a catastrophe for the entire Hoenn region."

"On the other hand, the people of the Great Violet want to use this cooperation to steal Devon's secrets."

Now that they're collaborating, many secrets between Devon and Grand Mauville, the two top technology companies in Hoenn, are no longer secrets.

The so-called secret is undoubtedly the German word "∞ energy".

The old man's words made Jinghe realize that his current "authority" was not low, and he could know many things.

So he asked a lot more questions.

Bi Ri asked if she had encountered a girl named "Shio Kana" during the planning process, and also, besides Da Zi Jin, who was in charge of the plan at the time.

Nor for anything else.

Jinghe just wanted to learn more so that if Team Lava and Team Ocean caused trouble, they could react more quickly.

Given his current relationship with Rayquaza, although it's not exactly good, he should be able to call Rayquaza over immediately and deal with its two fighting underlings, right?

After the conversation, Jinghe had a better understanding of the situation and prepared to leave.

"Don't you want to have a meal before you leave?" said Grandpa Zifuqi Mujin.

Jing He politely declined.

As the conversation progressed, the topic gradually shifted.
It turned into...
"You really don't want Pokémon? This old man can give you a Iron Dumbbell."

Jinghe felt ashamed.

Grandpa Zivchi Hibiscus gave him a Great Blacksmith back then, and now that he's finally managed to keep it alive, he's getting an Iron Dumbbell too.
In addition, there's the un-evolved Young Giras.

Raising two pseudo-legendary Pokémon babies at once, especially since both require precious and rare minerals, Jinghe thought it best to "let go" of herself.

"No, no need! Grandpa, I won't take up your time. I'll be going now! I'll come see you again next time!"

After saying that, Jinghe grabbed Gengar and ran out of the Devon Building as if they were being chased by some money-devouring behemoth.

"tsk"

Watching Jinghe's departing figure, the old man clicked his tongue, feeling a little regretful.

Given Jinghe's ability to train Pokémon and the strength of the Pokémon he has trained, if he could adopt a Beldum and raise it in the future, and then use it as a breeding stock, it could probably greatly improve the Beldum offspring of the Zuvchi family.

"I'll ask again next time."

After Jinghe left, the secretary, who had learned of the situation, immediately came in.

"President, this project is still awaiting your approval."

As he spoke, he placed a stack of documents in front of the old man.

The old man gave a wry smile and rubbed his temples.

It's rare for Jinghe to come, so I can find an excuse to rest. As soon as Jinghe leaves, more things come up. I wish Jinghe would come more often!
Despite his thoughts, he still looked at the document intently.

If Jing He were still here, he would definitely see the photos in the documents, which are the huge submarine of Ghost that he "seized" a few days ago.

The title of this project is "Unlimited Energy Submarine Proposal".

After confirming that there were no problems, the old man signed the document in a flash.

The Pokémon world's exploration of the universe and ocean is too limited, so Devon launched the Infinite Energy Rocket and Submarine project to help the Pokémon world and the League explore more unknown areas.

After the old man finished signing, the secretary gently pushed up his glasses and left with the documents.

Her actions attracted the attention of some people, both overt and covert, within the Devon building.

Viridian City, Kanto Region, Team Rocket base.

Since Porygon2 successfully evolved into PorygonB, the entire Team Rocket base has seen a qualitative leap in data processing, network processing, and other aspects.

This allowed the researchers to gradually adapt to the bizarre movements, behaviors, and words of the Polymorph B.

No matter how bizarre the Polygon B type is.

As long as it works, that's fine!

Overall research efficiency has improved significantly.

Apart from the occasional mention of the word "Gastly".

Even the researchers have gotten used to it.

The Multilateral Beast project was brought up again by the researchers.

When it was just a Porygon, it was fine. Although it could increase efficiency and security, Team Rocket's computers were already quite good, so the improvement seemed limited.

But as Porygon evolved into Porygon2 and PorygonB in succession, they realized that this Pokémon created by their Team Rocket had enormous potential!

If we could create dozens of Polymorph Beast Type Bs, we could hack the entire Alliance's network without even fighting with the Alliance.

But the problem they now face is...
How exactly did Porygon evolve?
On that very day, the usually active Polymorph Beast Type B suddenly became very quiet.

The researchers were surprised by this, but didn't think much of it.

Anyway, it was already weird to begin with, and its occasional quietness was probably just another form of weirdness.

However, for Multiverse Beast Type B, it received a somewhat inexplicable distress signal while "swimming" on the network.

Although it is a signal, the text, encoding, language and so on used by the other party are all things that the Multi-Beast Type B has never encountered.

Furthermore, the source of this signal was none other than the Unova region!

The reason why the Polygon B is so quiet is because it is decoding, trying to get more information from the signal.

As Mewtwo's "port," Porygonus Type B can sense that the sleeping Mewtwo also seems very interested in this information.

"buzzing"

Within the network, the Multi-Beast Type B emitted a faint sound, proof that its built-in system was operating at high speed.

And through its countless attempts, that message was finally gradually deciphered.

【■■■■■】：I want to go home, please help me, we want to go home.
Who am I? My home.
Devon acted extremely quickly.

It could be because of Jinghe's status as a "specially appointed consultant," or it could be because of the personal arrangement of Mr. Zvoich Mujin, or it could be that the German version was originally this quick.

Before Jinghe even got home, Devon's construction team had already started work.

As for the design drawings, Mudan had already drawn them up according to his requirements and handed them over to the construction team.

The money was transferred all at once, and Jinghe basically didn't need to worry about anything else.

According to Jinghe, expanding the courtyard by two or three times would be sufficient.

As a result, the old man said that if we were going to renovate, we should do it thoroughly to avoid having to expand later. So he simply included the entire open space behind Jinghe's yard that led to the river.

Without altering the original layout of the yard, a swimming pool, training ground, planting area, gravel area, and so on were built in the expanded area.

It can meet the needs of the little ones for swimming, bathing, and training, as well as Jinghe's idea of ​​saving money by farming, and at the same time provide the Salt King with a comfortable place to rest.

The entire renovation process only took two days!
A construction team from Devon completed what Jinghe considered a "major project" in just two days.

Furthermore, thanks to the technology in the Pokémon world, there's no need to wait for the concrete to naturally harden; the swimming pool can be filled with water and used the very next day after it's built.

The key is speed.

So when Jinghe brought the little ones to the backyard two days later on Saturday, and they saw the newly renovated courtyard that had expanded more than seven or eight times, the little ones' eyes lit up.

“Woo~!!”

Dragonite was the fastest, and immediately plunged headfirst into the pool.

According to Jinghe's requirements, the swimming pool was constructed with a deep water area of ​​eight meters, a medium water area of ​​four meters, and a shallow water area of ​​one and a half meters.

In addition, the swimming pool has its own drainage and water purification functions.

They even set aside a hot water area; if the Azure Flame Blade Demon sets a fire below, it can turn the area above into an artificial hot spring.

In addition, the training ground can fully meet the basic training needs of the little ones. As long as they are not messed around, the specially treated ground will not easily crack.

And the Salt King finally had a place to rest that satisfied him greatly, which also served as Young Gilas's "dining hall".

The courtyard is surrounded by green plants, with a planting area in the middle.

Jinghe plans to transplant both ice radishes and black radishes, and then plant a patch of sunflowers and corn, so that they can be self-sufficient while also beautifying the environment.

Without further ado, on Saturday, Jinghe led the team, and everyone got busy.

Overall, Jinghe and the kids are very satisfied with this courtyard renovation.

"This money was well spent!"

"I just don't know why my chest hurts a little."

P.S.: Something came up and I'm a little late, sorry.
