"Heath, how did you meet this Mew?" Professor Oak solemnly put the photo away, then looked at Heath and asked curiously. He could tell that Mew's attitude towards Heath was different, but it seemed that Mew was not Heath's Pokémon. After all, Mew left immediately after taking the photo, and there was no sign that the number of Poké Balls on Heath's waist had increased.
"Yeah, we just bumped into each other by chance." Heath scooped a small bowl of rice for Professor Oak, then looked at him with a smile and said, "The weather in Pallet Town is very hot today, and it feels like summer all of a sudden." Heath planned to have Snorlax make shaved ice today, which would also give Snorlax something to do. Otherwise, Snorlax would get a little bored if it stayed in the food truck all day with just one Pokémon.
"You're really lucky, this is a dream." Professor Oak took a bite of the "Light-Up" with relish. The "Light-Up" made by Heath tasted very good, but Heath didn't add anything else, just some green peppers, a little garlic, and a small amount of salt for seasoning.
However, the taste of "See the Light" is already good enough. Even if Heath does this, it will still allow the guests to enjoy a pleasant meal. That's how Professor Oak felt. He originally thought that the main course of Heath's event would be the Dreamy Photo Opportunity, and the food would probably be very cheap. He didn't expect Heath to also have "See the Light." Just by looking at the portion size, Professor Oak realized that the cost of this dish was very high. With the addition of the Dreamy Photo Opportunity, Heath's price became not so expensive.
Heath chuckled as he looked at Professor Oak, then silently corrected Mew's popularity in the Kanto region. It seemed that Mew was indeed quite popular in the Kanto region. He wondered how Mewtwo would view Mew after it was born. Heath remembered that in the anime, Mewtwo seemed to have a lot of opinions about Mew, and had a desire to prove that it was not a clone.
However, in the anime, Heath has forgotten how Mewtwo gave up that obsession. It seems to have something to do with Ash, but that's normal. After all, Ash is the protagonist of the world. When he stays at home, everything is peaceful, but once he goes out, all sorts of troubles arise.
You have completed the "Small Restaurant, Stylish Atmosphere" mission, and you have earned one opportunity to upgrade your restaurant.
[Achievement Quest: Pallet Town Specialty Products Completed, You Received a Random Reward]
[Random rewards have been distributed. Congratulations on mastering bodybuilding moves!]
Heath was stunned for a moment, so much so that he didn't hear what Professor Oak had just said.
The completion of the first task was within Heath's expectations, since Heath had called Professor Oak over specifically to complete this task. However, the completion of the second task surprised Heath.
Although Heath knew that Sunflower was a specialty of Pallet Town, he really didn't expect that this time, the reward would be a random one, and the random reward was the Pokémon move Bulk Up, which made Heath both laugh and cry.
If Heath remembers correctly, bodybuilding is supposed to be a special exercise or training to increase a Pokémon's Attack and Defense stats. Heath also thought of the Meditation skill he had drawn last time. Goodness, is this developing into a dual magic and physical skill path?
"If I were given a few more Psychic or Aura Spheres, I'd probably be able to battle the legendary Pokémon." Hiss's lips twitched, but he didn't rush to use them. Professor Oak was still sitting there, and if Professor Oak saw him, Hiss felt he would be lying on his bed in the lab all day.
However, Heath also noticed another blueprint on the kitchen counter of his food cart. It seemed to be the reward for the upgrade. Heath quietly put it away to prevent some mischievous fox from touching it.
"What will the dining area be like if it's upgraded?" Heath was filled with curiosity and couldn't wait to find out. Professor Oak chatted with Heath with a smile, and Heath suppressed his excitement and listened calmly to what Professor Oak had to say.
Chapter 335 I Have to Do the Renovation Myself
Professor Oak returned quickly, as he had arrived very early that day. However, it seemed that older people tend to wake up earlier each day. As soon as Professor Oak left, Heath did not hesitate to use the upgrade blueprint and then upgraded the dining area of his food truck.
However, there was no response after pressing the upgrade button. But the next second, Heath noticed that a red button had suddenly appeared on his food cart with the word "Reasonable" written on it. Heath's lips twitched. It seemed that he was going to take advantage of Siluf Company again. He wondered if the person in charge of Siluf Company would be very confused and wonder why his company's R&D department had such a strong curiosity and R&D mentality about a food cart.
After all, according to the blueprints, Hiss's food truck can be upgraded once for the dining area, once for the kitchen, once for the snow storage area, once for the lounge, and once for the garden, for a total of five upgrades. Each upgrade is handled by the Siluf Corporation. Siluf Corporation is such a great company.
"I wonder how things will be arranged this time..." Heath pressed the "Reason" button in front of him.
"Eh? Mr. Heath, is that you?" A familiar voice made Heath pause for a moment, then peek out and saw a girl who looked very familiar standing in front of his food cart. Heath recognized the woman immediately: Nami, the head of the research department at the Siluf Corporation. Heath remembered her; he had met her before, and had even played a game of tennis with her.
"Oh, it's Miss Nami. What brings you here?" Heath had some guesses in his mind.
“I’m here for tourism, but it’s good to see you. I have an expansion plugin for your restaurant here, which I developed in my spare time. Would you like to try it out?” Miss Nami said with a smile. Heath was stunned for a moment. Just as he thought, this time Nami was in charge of the matter.
However, Heath felt that this "reasonable" button was already outrageous. Could it be that the cheat system had already made preparations, waiting for Heath to upgrade something, and then sent a dedicated tool to contact Heath?
Heath didn't care much about this; he was only concerned about when his food truck would be upgraded. Soon, Heath noticed the little thing in Nami's hand, which looked like a lucky cat. However, this lucky cat had a cat's face. In the Pokémon world, lucky cats are usually ordinary cats, but Heath had never seen one with this cat-like design before.
"What is this?" Although Heath knew that what Nami had taken out was the plugin for this event, he couldn't connect a lucky cat with a plugin no matter how he looked at it.
"Ta-da! This is the plugin I developed for you. It's very simple to use; you just need to place it anywhere on your food cart." Nami smiled and handed the lucky cat to Heath, asking him to find a place to put it. Heath hesitated for a moment, then placed it on his counter, after all, it was a lucky cat.
"Then, the first time you use it, you need to register your palm print and fingerprint. Put your hand on Meow Meow's head." Nami said seriously, and Heath obediently put his hand on it as Nami asked. Then Meow Meow's head started to glow, and Heath had a strange feeling.
“Then you can pat Meow Meow’s head twice to release the dining area, and pat it twice more to retract it!” Nami was even more smug. Heath curiously reached out and patted Meow Meow’s head. The next second, Heath felt his food cart vibrate, and then the food cart began to transform. A room of about sixty square meters appeared in front of him, perfectly integrated with the food cart’s kitchen.
Heath was stunned. This dining area was too outrageous! However, the kitchen was still the size of the food cart. Heath felt that if he wanted the food cart's kitchen to be bigger, he would probably have to upgrade the kitchen. But looking at the roofed dining area in front of him, Heath was still very satisfied.
At least now when guests come to eat, they won't have to worry about the weather. This place has a ceiling and windows, which is quite nice.
However, the dining area was empty, and the whole room felt like an unfinished house, with no floor tiles and a cement ceiling.
There were no lights, and absolutely no tables or chairs. Heath felt a bit disgusted that such a place was even suitable for eating.
"Miss Nami, what should we do about this renovation?" Heath was a little confused. Without the renovation, it would be incomplete, and what about the tables and chairs? What about the lights? Won't they get damaged when we put them away?
"Oh, this one~" Nami's face showed a smile that Heath felt was very familiar. It was a smile that seemed familiar, but it was also as if he had never seen it before.
“I’ve suggested a few decorating styles for your elders, would you like to take a look?” Nami smiled like a little fox. Heath’s lips twitched, and he took the tablet Nami handed him and glanced at it.
There are European-style restaurants, traditional restaurant styles, sci-fi, horror, and cute styles—all sorts of decorating styles are available, and the tables, chairs, and floors are all fully equipped. However, each decorating style is accompanied by a string of numbers, which makes Heath a little dizzy.
He now understood that although he had obtained the opportunity to upgrade the dining area, he still needed to renovate it before guests could dine there. Nami was waiting for Heath here. The renovation styles looked very nice, but the problem was that the prices were also high.
Even though the decor looked rather ordinary, like a hotel dining area, the price of the whole set was extremely high, and Heath's savings were simply not enough.
However, what Heath was most attracted to was the decor of the Pokémon Restaurant. The tables and chairs cleverly incorporated Pokémon patterns without being too flashy, and the overall décor gave Heath a warm, homey feeling. But the price...
Including all the matching furniture, floor tiles, and electrical wiring, the total cost is a full 570,000 Alliance Coins, which is a very high price.
"Why is it so expensive?" Heath was tempted, but he was indeed a poor guy.
"Because these furniture pieces are made from the best materials, there's absolutely no need to worry about any harmful gases or components. Plus, the renovation time is very short—just an afternoon is enough." Nami smiled even more broadly.
Chapter 336 Going to Fengyuan!
Heath's lips twitched. He always felt that Nami was here for revenge, like when he accidentally broke Nami during the tennis match last time. However, if what Nami said was true, then the price was indeed not very high, because if these wooden tables and chairs were really made of the best materials, then a higher price would not be unreasonable.
Timber also varies in price. Some woods are very cheap, but the furniture made from them is not durable and is prone to damage. On the other hand, some woods have excellent quality, and may even have a fragrance or unique patterns, but they are also expensive.
The simplest example is the golden nanmu wood from the previous life. A genuine golden nanmu wood table and chair set could cost tens of millions, or even more.
"Hiss... Can I pay in installments?" Heath looked at the very unique Pokémon restaurant style and was very tempted.
Heath prefers to buy things in one go, rather than making improvements later. Heath hopes to achieve the best results from the very beginning, thus avoiding future troubles.
Heath would be really tempted if he could pay in installments, since he doesn't have that much money to spend on renovations right now.
“No, you can’t.” Nami smiled even more happily. Heath had no choice but to give up on the decorating style that he really liked. Although installment payments were a good option, Heath really didn’t like the feeling of owing money to others, so Nami’s refusal to allow Heath to pay in installments relieved him.
Humans are such strange creatures; they can convince themselves in many ways. So, if you want to entice a consumer, the best way is to stimulate them and let them convince themselves to buy the product.
“But actually, there is a solution.” Nami said breathlessly. Heath squinted at Nami. He hated people who only said half of what they meant. Heath had just been thinking about what kind of decorating style he could get with the money he had left, but Nami came up with another solution.
Heath crossed his arms and looked at Nami. He was curious to see what conditions Nami would propose. Although Heath liked the Pokémon Restaurant's decorating style, it wasn't indispensable. Heath could choose other decorating styles, or even decorate it himself. After all, he only needed to fix the necessary parts and prepare the tables and chairs. Moreover, it seemed that these things wouldn't be damaged when the restaurant shrank or expanded.
“I want you to go to the Hoenn region to attend a technology expo. If you’re willing to go, our company will provide all the upgrades to your food truck for free. What do you think?” Nami looked at Heath seriously. Heath was stunned. Wow, this was quite a leap. Heath had been wondering what Nami’s request would be, but it turned out to be just to go to the Hoenn region to attend a technology expo and then get all the upgrades and renovations for free. This was simply amazing.
Although the Hoenn region is quite a distance from the Kanto region, it's not a problem for Heath. He thinks the Silph Company will help him transport the food truck to the Hoenn region.
Speaking of the Hoenn region, Hiss thought of Devon Corporation, the giant company that rivals Silph Corporation in Hoenn. It's the company whose young master is a champion. Their Trainer Pokédex communication function is quite interesting. However, since there are telephones in this world, he wonders if that function will ever be developed.
"Is it because of Devon Corporation?" Heath thought of this. Speaking of Silph Corporation's enemies, there are basically none in Kanto. Silph Corporation's status in Kanto is like that of the three major telecom operators in China. You can't avoid them when using the phone. Silph Corporation is the same. In the Kanto region, no one's life can avoid Silph Corporation. It is a company that integrates high technology and people's livelihood. It is a well-deserved monopoly.
Such behemoth companies can only have behemoth companies in other regions as their enemies. The Johto and Kanto regions are closely connected, and the Silph Company has virtually no rivals. Therefore, only the Devon Company in the Hoenn region can be considered an enemy of the Silph Company.
“Yes, it seems Mr. Heath has a deep understanding of the world. We received an invitation to the Hoenn Region Alliance Technology Exhibition recently, but our company unanimously believes that the best way to showcase our company's technological prowess is to present you with this food truck, Mr. Heath.” Nami looked at Heath with surprise, but nodded in acknowledgment.
Heath rubbed his nose. He believed the claim of high technological content, because his food truck was indeed incredibly technologically advanced. Leaving aside the bizarre space expansion technology, the fuel consumption and electricity usage alone were cutting-edge technologies. But wasn't that a reward from his cheat system? He hadn't expected it to actually be developed by the Shilf Corporation. Or was it because his cheat system wanted to use it, so the Shilf Corporation developed it?
Heath found the question interesting and worth exploring, but the specifics would have to wait and see, as Heath was still in the early stages of understanding cheat codes.
"If I agree to go, can I use the Pokémon restaurant's decor for free?" Heath asked Nami expectantly. Nami nodded, and Heath immediately agreed.
Then Nami gave Heath a contract, which Heath read very carefully, showing no signs of youthful naiveté, which made Nami even more satisfied.
When many young people sign a contract for the first time, they are sometimes embarrassed or want to show their trust in others, so they just glance at it and sign it directly. However, they don't realize that this is a completely naive thing to do. There are many traps in contracts. If you don't read them carefully and get tricked by some clauses, you can only bear the consequences yourself. A written contract is not just a figure of speech.
"By the way, Miss Nami, I'd like to ask where this technology exhibition is being held?" Heath thought of this question, signed his name, and then looked at Miss Nami curiously and asked.
"In Mossdeep City in the Hoenn region, there is the Hoenn region's space rocket research and development center, and it is also the place that best reflects the Hoenn region's science, technology, and culture." Nami said with a smile. Hiss was stunned for a moment. Goodness, it seems that this trip can also help resolve the Mimikyu trainer issue. Killing two birds with one stone.
Chapter 337 The Most Hateful Person in Pallet Town
After signing the contract, Hiss got off the food truck with her Pokémon. It was now Nami's time to finish the renovations on Hiss's food truck. Just as Hiss was wondering how Nami, a girl, could complete such a complicated renovation, she saw a group of Machamp coming in from outside, led by Machamp. They were wearing the work uniforms of "Pallet Renovation".
Machamp and Machoke are practically the go-to movers and decorators for the Kanto region. However, it's said that some Pokémon from other areas have joined this ranks recently, including Pokémon like Master Builder who used to specialize in this kind of work, putting some competitive pressure on Machoke and Machamp.
Heath couldn't help but smile. In the world of Pokémon, having Pokémon is a good thing. However, Heath's business had to be temporarily suspended today. But it was worth it. Heath glanced behind him. The food truck was still the same food truck, with no major changes. The only difference was that there was a door on the side of the food truck, which was where Heath had just come out.
The door looks very simple and blends perfectly with the surface of the food cart, making it impossible to tell that it is a separate door. This is the cutting-edge technology of the Shiruff Company.
"I wonder if this restaurant can be expanded. If it could expand to the ground, it would look more normal." Heath stroked his chin. Heath was a little surprised by this space compression technology. It looked like Palkia's ability. But it was pretty good. It didn't take up any other space. It would be very useful in some busy urban areas.
Just like the magnificent city of the Indigo League, such a large restaurant would be extremely expensive to rent. Heath's food truck avoids this problem. However, Heath thinks that the Silph Corporation is unlikely to develop other space compression equipment in the short term. After all, his food truck is a reward from his cheat ability, and the Silph Corporation is just a qualified tool.
Heath believes that people's lifestyles may change in the future. A room that looks small could actually be transformed into a large villa. This design is particularly suitable for use on Earth, since some cities are densely populated and have high housing prices. The application of this spatial technology can effectively solve these problems.
However, this world does have Pokémon, and it was only with the help of advanced technology that this level of achievement was possible. On Earth, it's unknown how long it would take to achieve a similar effect.
However, after leaving the dining car, Heath found himself suddenly at a loss for what to do. At this time of day, Heath would usually be preparing to entertain guests, but now, he could only sit blankly in a chair to the side.
Life in Pallet Town moves too slowly; Heath feels himself becoming somewhat lazy.
"Huh? Heath? Why are you coming out of the food cart?" Nurse Joy walked out of the Pokémon Center, looking at Heath with surprise. She had just been thinking of buying a jianbing (Chinese crepe) from Heath. Nurse Joy looked up and saw a sign on Heath's food cart that read, "Closed for renovations today."
"The people from Silph Company came today to set up a compact restaurant for my food truck. It's still under renovation, so it has to be closed for the time being... But once it's finished, Miss Nurse Joy, you can come in and have a meal." Heath said with a smile. Miss Nurse Joy nodded knowingly, then jogged back to the Pokémon Center, took something out, and handed it to Heath.
“You should eat something in the morning. I was thinking of coming here to buy some breakfast... These are nutrition bars that we specially asked another manufacturer to make to prevent us from getting hungry and not having time to eat while we're on duty. Would you like to try some?” Miss Joy smiled gently. Heath looked at her smile and touched his stomach. He had originally planned to say that he had already eaten, but looking at Miss Joy's smile, he didn't say it.
Sometimes it's really hard to refuse other people's kindness.
Heath took the energy bar, and as soon as she opened it, a rich aroma of chocolate and milk wafted out. Curious, Heath took a bite. It was very sweet and a little sticky. After eating one, Heath felt a bit overwhelmed by the sweetness.
"This stuff... I can't eat too much of it." Heath clicked his tongue. Eating this stuff occasionally might be okay, but eating it every day wouldn't be sustainable, unless you were in a disaster and stranded on some deserted island. In that case, it's impossible to expect a girl who knows how to survive to suffer with you. However, carrying these energy bars can help him live a little longer.
"Haha, it doesn't taste good, right? That's good. This stuff can provide the energy and nutrients you need for a meal, but to prevent some Joeys from only eating this, it was made to taste like this." Miss Joey laughed happily, while Heath was somewhat amused and exasperated. What kind of situation was this?
Just as Heath was about to say something, he noticed a man walking towards him in the distance. The man looked lost and disoriented. He was wearing a well-tailored suit, but it was old. His hair was messy, and he was covered in dust. He also walked in a very strange way.
Miss Joy noticed Heath's gaze. She turned her head curiously, then turned around with a look of disgust, pulling Heath with her to turn their backs to the man.
“Miss Joey, do you know him?” Heath was somewhat surprised. Although he had only talked with Joey for a day or two, Heath knew her quite well. In Heath’s opinion, Joey was a typical good person, honest and compassionate. It was really hard to see Miss Joey dislike someone so much.
"Ignore him, Heath. That guy is a notorious gambler in Pallet Town." Miss Joey's voice was full of disdain.
However, after hearing what Miss Joey said, Heath understood why she disliked this man so much; it turned out he was a gambling addict.
Heath turned his head and glanced at the gambler walking dejectedly. As he got closer, Heath could see some details about the man, such as the bruises on his calves that occasionally rose as he walked, indicating that he had been beaten up quite badly.
However, Heath felt no sympathy whatsoever. Gamblers were not worthy of sympathy; these people were no longer worthy of being called human.
Heath turned his head away indifferently.
Chapter 338 Believe the words of a gambling addict
“Miss Joey…” But sometimes when you don’t want to talk to someone, that person might actually come looking for you. Just like now, when they heard the other person’s voice, Heath and Miss Joey had no choice but to turn their heads and look at the man.
