Trainer? I'm just an ordinary hot spring owner.

[Iron Arm Pistol Shrimp's Claws: The claws that the Iron Arm Pistol Shrimp lost in order to escape from the bite of Doron Messiah can grow many times and are a popular delicacy in the Galar region.]

Looking at the item description of this thing, Jiang Cheng immediately noticed the words "can grow multiple times" and heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed to be a world for children. Secondly, there was its introduction: a rare and popular delicacy in the Galar region.

Jiang Cheng's first reaction: "This thing... should be able to sell for a lot of money, right?"

Don’t blame Jiang Cheng for being vulgar. There’s nothing he can do about it. He’s just afraid of being poor.

A piece of claw of a pistol shrimp can only be eaten for one meal, but if it is sold at a good price, it can be used to buy several meals of noodles! It is important to distinguish between being full for one meal and being full for every meal.

After all, it was said in the introduction that it was a rare delicacy, so the price must be not low. He received a considerable reward for his first operation, not to mention the reward of 10 Meow Meow Coins. These Meow Meow Coins were enough for him to decorate a new hot spring room, but there was no healing pool. But then again, this is a game, and the healing pools in the game can be stored and placed. When needed, he can just use it for emergency use, right?

I remember that their entire laboratory had a total of six QPCR machines, and they were all coordinated in this way.

Chapter 10: The first pot of gold

"Let me see. Today...we are going to sell the claws of this iron-arm pistol shrimp, and then go to the government to discuss the renovation of the ceiling of our hot spring center." Jiang Cheng looked at the map of Maliejing City in his hand and introduced it to Zhen Yifa.

"Let's go out together today. The outside is not our territory. Remember not to attack others when you are flying. Let's eat delicious peach fruit together when we come back, okay?"

"Send it!"

That depends on my mood!

Jiang Cheng glanced at the fluttering hair that glanced at him with disdain and then was fascinated by the scenery in the city, then lowered his head and smiled silently.

After a day of observation, Jiang Cheng has basically figured out Zhen Yifa's temper. Rather than being an aggressive and ferocious big sister, she is more like a hedgehog that raises its spikes just to protect its soft belly.

Each individual reacts differently to external threats. Some timid ones may choose to hide behind their companions, but obviously, Zhenyifa seems to lack this condition. Therefore, perhaps due to realistic choices, her response to external threats is to eliminate the threats.

This is a stress disorder and treatment will take some time. For now, social contact within a controllable range is the first step.

"I remember one of the uncles who came here before opened a restaurant... Ah, I found it, Zhenyifa, let's go this way!"

With his fluttering hair along the way, Jiang Cheng attracted a lot of attention.

"Look, that Pokémon!"

"Is it a dream demon? But...it's really big!!"

"Its appearance is somewhat different from the Dream Demon, and that color, is it a rare Pokémon?"

"It should be. I remember that rare dream monsters are green. But why is it so big?"

"The Overlord Pokémon?"

"A dominant Pokémon? Really? Wouldn't that be very powerful?"

The gazes of the people around her made Zhenyifa feel a little uncomfortable. Seeing those tourists and local residents looking at her, they would stare back fiercely (▼へ▼メ)

"It's really the Overlord Pokémon, right? It looks so ferocious."

"Indeed, it seems that we are not easy to get along with..."

Jiang Cheng could only silently comfort Flutterfat's emotions: "Everyone is amazed at Flutterfat's beauty. Look, Flutterfat's feathers are shining in the sun, like silk. Everyone is amazed by Flutterfat's beauty. No one has ever seen a Pokémon as beautiful as Flutterfat before."

Zhen Yifa felt a little uncomfortable with Jiang Cheng's sweet words and moved a little further away from Jiang Cheng, but he didn't dare to go too far.

Jiang Cheng weighed the shrimp claw in his hand. The claw was large in size and heavy, about 3 kg. However, when he saw pictures of the iron-arm pistol shrimp before, the huge claw was even half the size of the body, so the weight was reasonable.

"Welcome, oh, isn't this the guy from the hot springs? Are you here for dinner today?" The restaurant owner was moving ingredients near the door. When he saw Jiang Cheng coming from a distance, he started to greet him: "Is that your Pokémon? Is that... a Dream Monster?"

"She is Zhen Yifa, the eldest sister in my family. Zhen Yifa, say hello to the uncle?"

"发" (｀⌒′メ)

"Hahaha, what a unique Pokémon!" The uncle didn't care about Flutterfat's behavior. Pokémon are creatures full of personality, aren't they?

"Uncle, this time I came here to sell something to you," Jiang Cheng said straight to the point.

"sell things?"

"Yes, I wonder if you guys will accept this, uncle." Jiang Cheng took out the shrimp claw from behind him.

"Oh, this... this is it!!!" The uncle looked at the claws in Jiang Cheng's hand with his eyes shining: "Isn't this the claws of the iron-arm pistol shrimp? There is very delicious meat inside, and the meat looks very fresh, as if it just fell off. Where did you get this good stuff?"

"I got it from a Doron Messiah. Can I sell it?"

"I see... That makes sense. The claws of the pistol shrimp are a highly prized ingredient among tourists in Galar. This one is so fresh, it's worth 10,000 per kilogram."

"Just... a shrimp claw?" Jiang Cheng was a little surprised. He had expected this thing to be expensive, but he didn't expect it to be so expensive.

This shrimp claw can completely free Jiang Cheng from poverty.

"Hahaha, you don't quite understand. For Pokémon like the Pistol Shrimp, their claws are very important organs. Without their claws, the Pistol Shrimp will need to hide for a long time before coming out again, so this thing is very rare. Moreover, due to its unique and delicious taste, many rich people, especially wealthy people, are very fond of it. Even though we are not in the Galar region, as a tourist destination, there are many rich people here."

"How about selling it to me? I can give you 500 yuan more." The uncle looked at Jiang Cheng earnestly. The currency in the Pokémon world is called Pokémon yuan, and the unit of price is yuan.

"Of course, the first thing I thought of when I got this thing was you, uncle. We are close to each other, so of course I will consider you first." Jiang Cheng's nice words came out of his mouth. Don't underestimate scientific researchers. They also have to socialize, otherwise where will the funds come from?

"Hahaha, thank you very much, young man." The uncle laughed and was obviously very happy. He took out the electronic scale and said, "Well, 63 kilograms. I'll calculate it to kilograms for you, which is more convenient. That is . I'll transfer it to you directly."

The uncle took out his cell phone, and Jiang Cheng also quickly took out his cell phone. The two scanned each other's codes, and soon, an extremely pleasant sound of money arriving was heard, and more than 30,000 yuan was officially credited.

Looking at the balance on his phone, Jiang Cheng was extremely excited. Finally, he no longer had to eat macaroni and could add two eggs to his meal! !

The uncle who had made this deal was obviously in a good mood, and greeted happily:

"By the way, it's getting late. Do you want to come to my store to eat something? It's my treat. You sold me a good thing today, so I have to treat you well no matter what."

"Ah? This... isn't a good idea?" Jiang Cheng was a little tempted, but also a little hesitant. After all, he had just earned other people's money and was eating their food for free. He couldn't keep taking advantage of them.

"What's wrong with that? It's decided. Come on, let's go. Today I'll show you my cooking skills!"

It’s so great to be in the Pokémon world...!

Chapter 11: The happiness comes to an abrupt end

Although most restaurants in tourist areas are meant to cheat outsiders, this is the world of Pokémon. Here, only those who are absolutely confident in their cooking skills will work in the catering industry. At the same time, they sincerely hope that outsiders can eat and drink well in their restaurants. This uncle who runs a seafood restaurant is just like that.

Although the meal was free, the uncle served a lot of dishes. Jiang Cheng kept saying that he couldn't eat any more, which stopped the uncle from serving more food.

The uncle even specifically asked about Zhen Yifa's taste. After learning from Jiang Cheng that the other party preferred sweet things, he brought out a lot of desserts.

Zhen Yifa's impression of this uncle also changed from a weird middle-aged two-legged beast at the beginning to a generous two-legged beast who cooked delicious meals.

During the meal, the uncle also suggested to Jiang Cheng that if he had the chance, he could buy a fishing rod. Maliejing City is a coastal city. In addition to tourism, fishery is also an important source of income here. Jiang Cheng nodded and kept this suggestion in mind.

After eating and drinking, Jiang Cheng left the uncle's shop and started to do the second thing of the day.

The City Management Office of Malie City is right next to the Pokémon Center, and there is a police station nearby. For Pokémon-related matters, go to the Pokémon Center, for public security issues, go to the police station, and for city-related matters, go to the City Management Office. One place, three things can be satisfied, and the main theme is "you don't have to run away even once", which is very user-friendly.

Of course, the reason why police stations and city management offices are basically located near Pokémon Centers is to protect the Poké Ball facilities underground in the Pokémon Centers.

The Poké Ball facilities are like WiFi base stations, which are the hardware equipment of the Poké Ball management system. The Poké Balls can only be used smoothly within the scope of this system. Once the system is damaged, the Poké Balls in the city will be unusable.

(Defense: This is a setting in the animation, not the author's own setting)

The Pokeball is actually quite delicate. It cannot be used without WiFi, it cannot be used if it is interfered by sound waves, and it cannot be used if there are abnormal geomagnetic waves. In short, Pokemon is great and there is no need to say more.

When you enter the lobby, there is a special receptionist who is responsible for reception: "Hello, this is the Urban Management Center of Maliejing City. How can I help you?"

"Hello, I am the current operator of the hot spring center in xx Street. I learned that the roof of the hot spring center was damaged to a certain extent due to a traffic accident. The Urban Management Office seems to be responsible for the repair work, so I came here to consult."

"Please wait a moment, I will help you check." The front desk staff lowered his head and operated on the computer for a while and found the relevant information.

"Oh, yes. It was an accident caused by a tourist's improper operation of a Charizard mount. The city management office was prepared to compensate, but they couldn't find the person in charge of the hot spring center, so the matter has been shelved..."

"That......"

"There is absolutely no problem with compensation. In fact, compensation and repairs should have been made long ago. But there is a problem with this matter, sir. That is, compensation involves the issue of ownership. That is, there is still compensation after the repairs, and the compensation must be paid to the person in question, so..."

"Oh, that doesn't matter. The previous owner of the hot spring center was my dad. Look, this is our identity card and family certificate." Jiang Cheng was well prepared and handed over two small notebooks.

"Ah, that's fine, but if you are father and son, why don't you let him do it in person?"

"My dad passed away two days ago, so I took over his spa."

"Ah..." The staff lady opened her mouth and quickly lowered her head: "Sorry"

Without saying anything else, she took Jiang Cheng's ID and began to operate quickly on the computer. Soon, she returned Jiang Cheng's ID with both hands: "Please leave your contact information here. We will contact the construction team in the city to bring Pokémon to your door to communicate with you and carry out repairs according to your needs. I hope your phone will be open as much as possible. The compensation will be transferred to your account within three working days. In addition, since your father has paid taxes in Malie for six years, we will issue you a Malie Citizen Certificate. With this, you can go to the car dealership to pick up a bicycle for daily travel. This can be used as your identity proof in the future."

The staff's work efficiency was amazing and they got the job done in almost no time, and there were unexpected gains.

Jiang Cheng took the citizen ID card, which was a small card. It looked quite novel. He put it in his pocket solemnly and smiled sweetly: "Thank you, sister."

After leaving his contact and identity information, Jiang Cheng packed up his things and turned to leave. Just as he was about to exit the city management office, he heard a snapping sound behind him.

Jiang Cheng was a little surprised. He looked back and found that everything was normal, except that one side of the staff lady's face was a little red.

Without daring to stay any longer, Jiang Cheng left immediately.

Two major issues were resolved in one day. Jiang Cheng stood at the street entrance, feeling extremely happy.

Without the huge economic mountain pressing down on his head, Jiang Cheng felt relaxed, feeling the sea breeze blowing through the city and looking at the various Pokémon carried by pedestrians on the roadside. The air was filled with a cozy and comfortable atmosphere.

Therefore, 10% of those who say they go to the countryside to relax and unwind have never done farm work. If you ask them to really farm for a day, let alone relax, they will be so tired that they will curse their ancestors.

If you don't worry about survival, you can relax.

Next! It’s consumption time!

We will be living in the hot springs, so we need to buy a lot of things, such as beds, daily necessities, various seasonings, cooking utensils, rice, flour, oil, etc.

Before, when I didn’t have money, I was thinking about how to save as much as possible. Now, I buy! I buy a lot!

Thanks to the excellent map guidance of Malie City, Jiang Cheng quickly found a bicycle shop and used his citizen ID to pick up a bicycle. He did not have a Pokémon mount yet, so the bicycle was his main means of transportation.

"Zhen Yi Fa, let's go shopping!!" Thinking about the wonderful life in the future, Jiang Cheng's heart was full of determination.

He could have been very happy if a girl in a white dress and a sun hat had not suddenly poked her head out from the street and ran very fast and bumped into Jiang Cheng in the next second, then he could have been very happy.

Chapter 12: Shopping

"Oh, I... I'm fine, I'm fine, Zhen Yifa, it's okay." Jiang Cheng was knocked down and the first thing he did was to comfort Zhen Yifa, fearing that she would rush up and get hurt.

"Send it!"

After calming down Fluttering Wings, he finally paid attention to the girl who knocked him down: "Sister, you should pay more attention to your surroundings when you walk, it's so dangerous..."

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry," the little girl apologized to Jiang Cheng in panic, bowing so hard that the sun hat on her head was thrown back, revealing her golden hair.

Only at this moment did Jiang Cheng notice the appearance of the girl in front of him. She was wearing a pure white dress, and her golden hair, which was as smooth as golden satin, was cut into a princess style. Her emerald green eyes were like two gems embellished on her skin, which was as white as mutton-fat jade, and her panic-stricken expression added a different color to her eyes.

She stood there like a daffodil soaked in rain water.

Of course Jiang Cheng knew who she was. Or rather, as long as one played Pokémon, it would be hard not to recognize who she was, the seventh generation Sun and Moon heroine - Liliae.

But why is Liliae in the quiet city of Malie? Shouldn't she be in Melemele Island?

Jiang Cheng was a little confused. Liliae had never been to Ula'ula Island, right?

It’s bad. Could it be that he followed this stupid thing?

"Forget it, it's okay. I'm thick-skinned, so it's no problem. But you, little girl, are you okay?" Jiang Cheng tried hard to look serious, scanning the surroundings to see if there was a suspicious 11-year-old boy wearing a baseball cap and carrying a Pikachu on his shoulder.

"I, I'm fine." Liliae waved her hand and quickly touched the bag at her side. After touching something familiar, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Jiang Cheng naturally noticed the other party's unintentional action and narrowed his eyes.

Carrying a big bag... Could it be Nebula Cosmogu inside? Did she come to the quiet city of Marie during her escape from the Aether Foundation?

I don’t know whether this is a game world or an animation world, but I know that the story will begin in three months.

But these have nothing to do with me. After all, I am not the ultimate Dragon Aotian like the protagonist. Killing champions is like a piece of cake. If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. It is more realistic for me to be my own hot spring boss.

"For safety's sake, how about I take you to the hospital?"

"No... no need, I can do it myself." Hearing that they had to go to the hospital, Liliae quickly shook her head. Looking at the nearby Flutterbone, she quickly stepped back a few meters and said, "Well, I have something urgent to do. I'll leave first." After saying that, without waiting for Jiang Cheng to speak, she secretly glanced at Flutterbone. Liliae was a little panicked. She had never seen such a Pokémon before. It looked like a Dream Witch, but it was completely different from a Dream Witch. Moreover, there was no glass as a partition... It was too scary!

With this thought in mind, Liliae quickly ran away.

"Hey..." Jiang Cheng stretched out his hand, then put it down: "I forgot that she is afraid of Pokémon."

He and Zhen Yifa looked at each other and said, "Forget it, Zhen Yifa, let's go shopping."

"Send it!"

Jiang Cheng picked up the bicycle, turned around and left with his fluttering hair. He didn't notice that a little thing poked its head out of Lily's bag when she left, staring at Jiang Cheng's back.
