Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

On the other hand, he lamented that apart from the initial construction of the dojo, he didn't really feel much involvement in the rest.

It's like a fake dojo has been opened.

He came to the dojo mainly to explain something.

He instructed the butler to contact the German company, as he wanted to build a shrine next to the dojo.

The shrine of Arceus, the creator god.

although.

After agreeing to Arceus's request, Arceus never pressed him for it.

But as a faithful "believer," one should still have this self-awareness.

If he really waits for Arceus to destroy him, Xia Yan estimates that he will be getting further and further away from being a true believer.

If you try to take advantage of Arceus again, the creator god probably won't allow it.

"Mr. Xia Yan, what scale do you want to build?"

Yamato, the dojo manager, fully demonstrated the professionalism of a manager. Instead of asking Natsuhiko why he wanted to build the shrine, he directly asked what size he wanted.

He was dressed in a professional butler's uniform, and gently adjusted his monocle, looking much more reliable than Xia Yan, the owner of the establishment.

"With our current dojo's accounts, we can barely afford to build a medium-sized shrine, but this would mean there's a 10% chance that the dojo's operating cash flow will be disrupted."

No, not medium.

Xia Yan, who hadn't sat behind his desk in a long time, shook his head.

My fingers tapped lightly on the edge of the table.

“A small shrine is no problem at all,” Yamato said.

No, what I mean is...

Xia Yan sat up straight and said slowly, "We need to build a giant shrine, one that far exceeds the size of our dojo."

"This"

"You don't need to worry about funding, and the dojo doesn't need to bear any of it; I will take care of it."

Since we're going to build it, we should build it on a large scale.

Arceus, don't make too much of a fuss. You really believe that?

Doesn't that limit your perspective?

Not only should we build it, but we should build the largest shrine of the Creator God in the entire Sinnoh, and even the entire Pokémon world!

"Also, you can ask reporters to publicize that I want to invite all the famous people in Sinnoh to attend the ceremony when the shrine is completed, and I will even invite people from other regions."

Even though he was somewhat prepared, the butler Yamato still swallowed hard upon hearing this.

"Mr. Xia Yan, is this all the fuss? Our dojo is only of medium size."

Xia Yan stretched out his hand and said, "The expansion of the dojo can be postponed. I have already decided on this matter. You can talk to Devon and get the blueprints done as soon as possible."

Seeing that Xia Yan made such a request, even the butler Yamato could not object anymore.

He nodded and said, "Okay."

We must cling to Arceus; he could be a lifesaver in a critical moment.

At that time.

With the dojo, shrine, and his research institute—three iconic buildings—there's no need to worry about attracting investment to Suiyi Town.

"By the way, Mr. Natsuhiko, Miss Cynthia should already be on her way," Yamato reminded him.

Xia Yan's research institute has been built with the help of the alliance and the strong support of Devon Corporation.

However, he, the owner of this research institute, has never been there even once.

Cynthia, on the other hand, is already working at the research institute.

"Ok."

Xia Yan nodded and casually flipped through some accounting documents on the table, as well as development data of the dojo and Suiyi Town during this period.

Don't try to know too much, just have a general idea.

"Is there anything else?"

Seeing that Yamato was still standing respectfully to the side, Xia Yan put down the documents and asked.

Yamato smiled and gave Natsuhiko a meaningful look.

"No, these are green tangerines prepared for you."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Green tangerine?

Xia Yan watched Yamato's departing figure, glanced at the bright green tangerines on the table, and a look of doubt flashed in his eyes.

You stay here and don't move, I'm going to buy some oranges.

Yamato shouldn't understand this joke.

"Perhaps it was just a well-intentioned gesture."

Xia Yan didn't think much of it.

I casually peeled one open.

"Pfft cough cough"

next second.

Xia Yan was almost in tears.

"So sour?"

The elves playing around in the office burst into laughter when they saw Xia Yan's appearance.

Knock knock—

Soon there was a knock on the door.

The woman who entered through the door was tall, with flowing blonde hair and an elegant and dignified demeanor.

Cynthia.

After pushing the door open and entering, Cynthia's brows furrowed slightly involuntarily.

"Cynthia, you've arrived."

Xia Yan quickly threw away the green tangerine in his hand; it was too sour.

"Ah."

Cynthia responded softly and walked up to Xia Yan, her furrowed brows still furrowed.

Seeing this, Xia Yan couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Cynthia shook her head, somewhat hesitant and uncertain.

Finally, she spoke up: "Xia Yan, can you smell a special fragrance here?"

"fragrance?"

Xia Yan was startled.

He pointed to the table.

"you this?"

But Cynthia shook her head again without hesitation.

"It doesn't smell like mandarin oranges, it smells like perfume. It's very light, but this perfume should last a long time and still have a faint scent."

"perfume?"

Xia Yan sniffed.

The air was filled with the tangy smell of green tangerines.

How come he can't smell it?

Moreover.

Where did the perfume smell come from?

Suddenly, Xia Yan's expression froze as he realized what was happening.

Could this perfume scent be from Que Lan?

No.

He flew from Jiayuan City to Suiyi Town.

None of it was blown away.

You can smell that?

Are you a dog?

and many more!

Xia Yan looked at the bag of green tangerines on the table again, and only then did he finally realize what was going on.

What is the reason why Yamato left a bag of green tangerines here?

And what was the meaning behind that meaningful look in his eyes before he left?

A veteran!

Using the scent of lime to mask the fragrance?

“Yamato was here just now. You know that as a butler, he comes into contact with all sorts of people. Maybe he was talking to a wealthy lady who wanted to invest before.” Xia Yan said calmly.

"Oh."

Cynthia suddenly realized and expressed her understanding.

"Why did you buy a bag of green tangerines? These green tangerines are so sour."
