I opened a restaurant in the Pokémon world.

"I just..." Heath hurriedly began to defend himself, but before he could finish speaking, he felt the person holding him let go. He subconsciously turned his head and saw Cynthia with her hands behind her back.

"Of course I know! Do you think I'm the kind of woman who gets jealous easily and is unreasonable?" Cynthia laughed happily.

Chapter 1099 Jade Rainbow City

"Oh, so that's what happened. I never expected my little boyfriend to be so naive. With such a disaster in Fuchsia City, it'll definitely be closed for a while," Cynthia said with a smile. Heath awkwardly touched his nose. He admitted that he hadn't thought much about it at the time, only remembering it after driving to this location. However, seeing his girlfriend's expression, Heath felt a little relieved. But then another question popped into his head: wasn't Cynthia supposed to send him something? How did she suddenly come over herself?

Before Hiss could even ask, Ash happily ran back. But upon seeing Cynthia, who had taken off her sunglasses, Ash showed a hint of surprise, followed by excitement. He looked at Cynthia, who was smiling and waving at him, his mouth trembling. Hiss glanced at his girlfriend and suddenly seemed to understand what she meant. Sure enough, what happened next was pretty much what he expected. After recognizing Cynthia, Ash cautiously asked if he could see his Pokémon. Cynthia immediately released all of her Pokémon, and Ash cheered instantly, jumping up and down.

"Cynthia, you've really been a great help." Hiss breathed a sigh of relief. Although he could bring Ash in the future, it wasn't today, so Hiss was still quite embarrassed. But now, with Cynthia's help, Hiss had solved the problem.

"That's right~ I'm super smart~" Cynthia said proudly, hands on her hips. Hiss looked at his girlfriend with a smile, but this made Cynthia unhappy. She pouted and pointed to her face. Hiss was a little confused, but he quickly understood what Cynthia meant. He was a little embarrassed, but after looking at Ash and seeing that Ash was still playing with Garchomp, he simply leaned over.

"Hey, what are you doing? I just wanted you to compliment me!" Cynthia pushed Heath away, her face flushed red. Heath was stunned for a moment; he was genuinely a little embarrassed.

"By the way, Cynthia, didn't you go to the rescue?" Hiss thought of something else. When Salin came before, there were new problems in the Sinnoh region. He knew that Cynthia went to help with the rescue, but the news did not mention the follow-up, so he did not know what happened.

"Yes, they were rescued successfully, but those guys will have to pay a hefty rescue fee." Cynthia nodded with a smile. Heath breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and then chatted with Cynthia for a while to learn what happened next. Cynthia found those people and brought them down from Mount Crown, and that was the end of the rescue. Although they encountered some dangers along the way, they all turned out alright without any problems.

After playing with Ash for a while, Hiss drove Ash back home. After all, Ash had a lot to do and couldn't be away for too long. Besides, Hiss was also planning to leave Fuchsia City for other places. Cynthia was there too, so he could take her with him.

"Brother Heath, thank you!" Heath also found a way to use the remaining lunch boxes. He gave them all to Ash so that Ash could take them back to the volunteer team. Seeing Ash's happy expression, Heath's bad mood, which had been a bit bad because he had been wronged, improved a lot.

"I saw the documents outside your dining car. What happened before?" Cynthia asked curiously. Heath sighed upon seeing this, but still briefly explained the matter to Cynthia. After hearing this, Cynthia felt indignant on Heath's behalf. She couldn't understand why her boyfriend would suffer such a fate. These problems clearly had nothing to do with Heath. Heath was just doing a good deed, yet he was still reported by someone.

Just then, Heath heard a knock on the door. He looked at the door in confusion. He had already hung up a sign that said "Closed for Business," but thinking that some customers might not have seen it, he still went over and opened the door. He then saw a woman who looked somewhat familiar. She was nervously looking down, occasionally glancing at him out of the corner of her eye.

"Sorry, sir, I'm closed." Heath smiled. His food truck was closed and he wasn't doing business anymore. Even if the customer had been there at noon, Heath wouldn't serve him.

"Um... um..." The woman lowered her head, clutching the tube in her hand tightly. There were cockroaches inside, but she dared not release them. Besides, the other party didn't seem interested in doing business, so she figured it would be alright if she left.

"I'm sorry!" the woman shouted, then covered her face and ran away. Heath was completely bewildered. He didn't understand what was going on or why she was apologizing. However, Heath wasn't too concerned, as long as she wasn't there to cause trouble. He had been worried that she might suddenly say something like, "The child in my belly is yours," which would be too dramatic, and he would have to find a way to explain. Fortunately, that didn't happen. She left quickly and decisively, which relieved Heath. At least he was no longer under pressure.

"What just happened?" Cynthia curiously leaned closer. She had also heard the apology from earlier, so she was quite curious.

"I don't know. They were guests who had lunch here, but they said sorry and left. I don't know what happened." Heath shrugged. He didn't understand what had happened either, but it didn't matter. He had his own things to do anyway. As for what the other person was thinking, Heath wasn't a mind reader, so how could he know?

"Cynthia, I'm going to Celadon City. Do you want to come with me?" Hiss asked Cynthia, who immediately nodded. Seeing this, Hiss activated the Anywhere Door in the food truck and selected Celadon City. However, before doing so, Hiss deliberately drove the food truck out and opened the Anywhere Door on the road. With the effect of the Anywhere Door, Hiss instantly traveled from Fuchsia City to Celadon City, the last city in the Kanto region and the only place Hiss had never set foot in.

Looking at the city before him, Heath took a deep breath, curious about what special rewards he would receive after completing the mission. Heath felt there should be some.

Chapter 1100 Super Department Store

"Heath, is this Celestial City?" Cynthia looked at the city ahead with curiosity. Although she already knew from her boyfriend that his food truck could teleport, she had to admit that when she actually saw it, the strong emotions in her heart were still hard to suppress. At the very least, Cynthia was a little excited. She really didn't expect Heath's trip to be so smooth, convenient, and fast. He had arrived in Celestial City from Fuchsia City in an instant. Although the two cities were not particularly far apart, there was still some distance between them. Normally, it would take most of a day to drive there, but Heath arrived in one go, which was truly surprising.

"Yes, this is Celadon City, and it's the last city I've visited in Kanto so far." Heath nodded. He had already confirmed that he had visited all the cities except Celadon City and completed the corresponding achievements. After completing the achievements for Celadon City, his Kanto trip would officially come to an end. The only problem was Farfetch'd, since Farfetch'd still needed to participate in a cooking competition. However, because Fuchsia City was hit by the super typhoon Salin, the cooking competition was temporarily postponed for two weeks before it would start. That's why Heath came directly to Celadon City.

"Huh? So where are you planning to go next?" Cynthia asked, turning around curiously to look at Hiss. Hiss was silent for a moment after hearing this. He didn't know where he should go either. However, if he could, Hiss would like to travel to all the cities in the League. After all, each region has very unique cities and Pokémon, which is quite interesting. But that should be something for the future. At least for now, Hiss is only thinking about completing the city achievement quest in Celadon City. After that, he will take Farfetch'd to participate in the cooking competition. After the cooking competition, he plans to take a break for a while, focus on cultivating his relationship with Cynthia, and then get married or something. Finally, he will go to other League regions to complete his travel plans.

Of course, all of this will take some time to complete, especially the matter of proposing to Cynthia. To be honest, Heath wasn't particularly confident. Although Heath personally felt that Cynthia would probably say yes, it was hard to say. There are couples who have a very smooth relationship but find it extremely difficult to get married. In addition, the various news stories he had seen in his previous life also made Heath somewhat uncertain about marriage.

"Okay, let's go to the Sinnoh region." Hiss smiled, looking at Cynthia in front of him, and the unease in his heart eased a little. Hiss admitted that he liked Cynthia very much. Cynthia was cute and very perfect, almost the perfect girlfriend. She was not easily jealous and was very understanding. Hiss didn't know what else to say. Anyway, he was proud of his girlfriend countless times.

Cynthia blushed slightly and turned to look out the window. The sky was slowly darkening. Heath could see Cynthia's shy expression through the food truck's glass, which made his heart flutter. He even wanted to propose to Cynthia at that moment, but he held back and drove the food truck to Rainbow City.

What does Celadon City have? This is a very interesting question. Unlike Goldenrod City, an art city, Celadon City is just an ordinary city, not even comparable to Crimson City. After all, Crimson City is famous for its hunting grounds, while Vermilion City has a world-renowned port. The ships coming and going make Vermilion City very prosperous, with people coming and going everywhere. The only thing Celadon City can boast about is the super department store in the center of Celadon City.

Some might find it strange that department stores, which aren't exactly rare and can be found in almost every city, would be made the city's iconic landmark and symbol by Yuhong City. Heath had initially wondered the same thing, but looking at that towering building, even he had to admit that Yuhong City had truly taken the concept of a department store to its extreme.

The Celadon City Department Store initially became famous because there were no department stores in the Kanto Alliance at the time. Mr. Arthur, the father of department stores, built a building in Celadon City and named it the Department Store. Naturally, it became a new fashion icon. At that time, all merchants were happy and excited to be able to set up shop in the Department Store, and all citizens wanted to go shopping in the Department Store to buy things that they could not buy in their own cities. Therefore, thanks to Arthur's Department Store, Celadon City instantly became the largest and most luxurious city in the Kanto Alliance. Everything was new and exciting at that time.

However, the tide of the times soon swept in. The emergence of mobile phones and the rise of the internet caused department stores to decline. Under the onslaught of the internet, they lost a lot of territory. So now, department stores in most cities have become very ordinary places. People casually stroll around, eat, shop, and then go home. Yuhong City also became desolate. Yuhong City was anxious to find a new way out, but they didn't know what they could do. Yuhong City didn't have many unique features to explore. The only thing worth mentioning was the first department store in the entire alliance. So Yuhong City set its sights on this place.

With the help of Yuhong City and Mr. Arthur's design, a super department store appeared in Yuhong City.

"I remember this super department store is over 600 meters tall, right?" Heath looked at the increasingly massive building in front of him and sighed. He really had never seen such a large department store before, and the closer he got, the more he realized how outrageous the building's height was.

"I remember that including the top where shops can't be opened, the highest point is 718 meters, and if we only consider the area with shops, it's 682 meters." Cynthia also looked at the super department store with curiosity.

A department store that is over 600 meters tall is already outrageous; it truly deserves to be the largest department store in the entire alliance.

"I have to say, Jade Rainbow City is quite impressive." Heath exclaimed. A department store over 600 meters tall, that should have been a disaster, but it miraculously brought in huge profits. It even claimed that you could buy anything you wanted here, with goods from all regions of the entire alliance available.

Chapter 1101 A Department Store with Everything

After Hiss parked the food truck, even Charizard, who usually had no interest in shopping, unusually followed Hiss out of the truck. They looked at the enormous building in front of them; it seemed impossible to see the top of it. The dense crowds proved the prosperity of this super department store in Celadon City. At the very least, everyone really liked this super department store. Even the Psyduck Trading Company had its own floor in this department store. Hiss looked at the Psyduck on the outside wall and estimated that the Psyduck Trading Company occupied at least fifteen floors, and that was at least the minimum. They would have to go inside to see for themselves.

"To be honest, I've never been to such a huge department store before." Looking at the department store in front of him, Heath couldn't help but sigh. Since coming to this world, he had seen quite a few buildings, but such a massive complex still amazed him. It was a miracle of the Pokémon world. Moreover, this building was not only huge, but its disaster resistance was also top-notch. A special Pokémon protection team was stationed here year-round to deal with any dangers that might affect the building. There was even a Team Officer Jenny stationed here, with Officer Jenny patrolling every floor. You can imagine how much the League values ​​this place. However, in reality, no one would dare to attack this place.

After all, this building is too big, and there are a lot of people. If it were attacked, the League would go completely insane. And a completely insane League would be a match for all the villains in the League. Even Team Rainbow Rocket might not be able to win against a crazed League. So the safety of the Rainbow City Department Store is very well guaranteed.

“Me too. This department store is so big, I think it would take more than a month to walk around it.” Cynthia nodded. This department store is not only tall, but its area is also ridiculously large. Each floor is the size of a stadium, which makes people wonder how it was done. But Cynthia can only say that it is the power of Pokémon. Anyway, it was done. It would take a long time to walk around this super department store. After all, there are so many shops. It would be too much to walk around completely.

"I've checked the information. From the 25th floor upwards, the entire 15th floor is a gaming section! All kinds of games, from video games to physical games, you name it! There's even an old-fashioned store. Rumor has it that the first Game Boy in the League was only sold here, and they were all super limited editions! Rumor has it that they also have official Pokémon Yellow cartridges! And the designer's signed versions!" Compared to Heath and Cynthia, Zoroark was the most excited. She screamed like a groundhog almost the entire time, which made Heath both laugh and cry. However, thinking about the Easter eggs in this department store, Heath's expression also became a little strange.

Game Boy and Pokémon Yellow are practically Heath's childhood memories. That's when he first encountered Pokémon, and then he went on to play GBA, SP, 3DS, and NS. He never expected to end up in the world of Pokémon and become a part of it.

"I heard there are five floors dedicated to selling fitness equipment here, and even the League's most famous Superpower Weightlifting Gym has a branch here." Charizard exhaled a hot breath. It was also very interested in this super department store. After all, as its strength grew, its requirements for training equipment also increased, and the things in the food cart could no longer satisfy it.

“There are lots of clothing stores here too.” Kirlia happily strolled around, while Farfetch’d and Snorlax didn’t seem to notice. Mew was also there, but because of Mew’s special nature, Seath could only have Mew hide and follow beside him. If someone else saw it, it would be troublesome. Mew wasn’t too resistant, but how to hide was a problem. So in the end, Zoroark helped to turn Mew into a natural bird, which solved the problem.

"I wonder if there will ever be a game in the future that's just a business simulation game where you open a shop in the Pokémon world..." Heath felt a little lonely. He didn't have a single companion in this world, not even a single friend from Earth.

"Heath, let's go!" But then, Cynthia grabbed his hand and led him into the super department store in front of them with a smile. Looking at Cynthia's flying ponytail, Heath's mood improved a lot. Although he was a transmigrator, in this world, he had his own family, his own place to belong, his future wife, and these adorable Pokémon. Thinking about it this way, it wasn't so bad. At least he could live happily with everyone.

Thinking of this, Heath's mood brightened, and he followed Cynthia and his Pokémon into the enormous, somewhat outrageous department store.

At first, Heath wasn't really interested in buying anything, since his food cart already had plenty of items. However, after seeing the unique ingredients from various Alliance regions, Heath couldn't resist and embarked on a delightful shopping spree. Along the way, Heath bought a huge amount of things, such as the Ho-Oh Fruit from the Johto region, a fruit that, according to legend, grew on a tree trampled by Ho-Oh. The outside of this fruit is inedible; you have to cut all the way to the very center to find the edible part—a small piece about the size of a thumb. It's said to have a very delicious flavor, tasting like a unique blend of mango, coconut, apple, and strawberry.

Then there's the black vegetable from the Unova region, an extremely rare pure black vegetable that's difficult to grow and has exceptionally strict requirements for temperature and light. It's only found in a special place in the Unova region, and it's very expensive, but it tastes great and is rich in nutrients, including a very special nutrient called anthocyanin, which is only found in this vegetable.

However, what interested Heath the most was a local shop that sold Rainbow City's specialty ingredients. Unfortunately, it only sold pictures. Heath inquired and learned that this special creature called the Rainbow Bird was extinct. This left Heath speechless. It seemed that completing Rainbow City's city achievement quest wouldn't be so easy. He would have to think of a way.

Chapter 1102 Medicinal Cuisine

The super department store was huge, crowded with people, and had all sorts of Pokémon. It could practically satisfy everyone's needs. The only problem was that it didn't have what Hiss wanted, which frustrated him. It seemed he'd have to rely on a cheat code to get it; after all, it was an extinct item, and even with his skills, he couldn't obtain it. Only with the system's help could he possibly get the ingredient. However, Hiss still had some anticipation about getting it, just wondering when the system's quest would trigger. Once the quest was triggered, he might get the ingredient. But as far as Hiss knew, this ingredient was basically a one-time thing; it was impossible to get it repeatedly.

Unless the ingredients can be listed in the food encyclopedia, it is virtually impossible to obtain them repeatedly.

After buying everything, Heath left the department store with his Pokémon. He and Cynthia went to the nearby Officer Jenny's Building to apply for a stall permit. After obtaining the permit, Heath got a prime location. Looking at Cynthia beside him, Heath was a little amused and exasperated. He suspected that Officer Jenny, after seeing Cynthia, decided to give him a better spot. Officer Jenny even winked at Heath and gave him a thumbs up, which made Heath feel helpless. Although Officer Jennys were all cute, since they were basically Heath's elders, they also had a kind of elder-like pressure to get him married.

However, Heath didn't dislike this kind of concern. After all, although Officer Jenny had this mentality, she wouldn't urge or ask questions casually. She would only offer help occasionally, like in the situation just now, where Officer Jenny gave Heath a better position.

"Heath, do you feel tired every day entertaining guests?" Cynthia asked Heath curiously. Heath paused for a moment after hearing the question, but then shook his head. Although it was true that he sometimes felt tired, it was alright. Heath had gotten used to this kind of life. It's like staying up late. If you go to bed at three or four in the morning every day for a day or two, it will have a very big impact on your health. But if you go to bed at that time every day and get eight hours of sleep every day, then it's not staying up late anymore, but a normal routine.

At first, Heath was a little unaccustomed to this busy life, but he gradually got used to it. Life goes on, after all. No matter what Heath thought, unless he stopped seeing customers every day or simply switched to a reservation system, he couldn't implement a reservation system for his restaurant. So he could only choose to slowly receive customers. Fortunately, with the help of his Pokémon, Heath gradually got used to his daily life and can now easily handle even a large number of customers.

"Just like Cynthia, you train your Pokémon every day. It's a bit tiring, but you get used to it." Heath chuckled as he hung up the "Open for Business" sign. He wasn't in a hurry now; he knew he could always find a way to get the ingredients. The only problem was figuring out a solution himself and seeing if he could trigger a system quest.

However, just as he put up the sign saying "Open for Business" at the door, Heath noticed a man standing outside the food truck staring at him blankly. Heath glanced at the man; his age was hard to tell, he looked to be in his thirties or forties, but his clothes suggested he was in his forties or fifties. The man's eyes were somewhat vacant and complex, something Heath had never seen before. This puzzled Heath. He looked at the man in front of him. Was he coming to eat in his food truck? But it didn't seem like it. If he was coming to eat, he could have just come in.

Heath didn't think much of it and went straight back to the dining car. But as soon as he got back to the kitchen, he heard the sound of wind chimes. He looked up and saw the man from before. The man silently pushed open the door and came in, then stood in the dining car looking at Heath, and then stared intently at Cynthia. Cynthia was about to go back to Heath's lounge at that moment, since coming out would only cause Heath some trouble. So Cynthia was planning to go in, but at that moment she also noticed the man.

She frowned slightly. She didn't remember ever seeing this man before, but the problem was that he was staring straight at her, which made Cynthia feel a little uncomfortable.

"Guest?" Hiss asked in confusion, while Kirlia looked at the man with some bewilderment. She had never seen such complex emotions before. Kirlia had seen many people and all kinds of emotions, but the emotions in this man's heart were very strange. There was destruction, sadness and grief, indifference, and many other thoughts. In short, it was very strange.

"...Hello, I see you have...medicinal cuisine here?" The man asked Heath blankly. Heath nodded. Of course, he had medicinal cuisine, as it was a common type of Chinese cuisine. However, the question of whether medicinal cuisine was effective was a subject of much debate. Personally, Heath believed it had some effect. It was like how, in China's thousands of years of history, before the introduction of Western medicine, traditional Chinese medicine was the most popular, leaving behind many prescriptions. Even now, Japan is researching traditional Chinese medicine, so Heath always felt that these were useful.

So Hiss took it out. In the Pokémon world, there are naturally Chinese medicines, so it was convenient for Hiss to buy these Chinese medicines. There are even special Pokémon injury medicines made with Chinese medicines. They are very effective and cheap, but because they are too bitter, Pokémon will not like them. If they eat too much, they will hate their trainers.

Although Heath had written it on the menu, he had rarely seen anyone order medicinal cuisine in all this time. In fact, the man in front of him was the first man to order medicinal cuisine.

Chapter 1103 A Man with a Story

"What would you like, sir?" Heath looked at the man before him. Although the man had mentioned medicinal cuisine, the notification box above his head hadn't popped up yet, so Heath didn't know what was going on. This was the first time Heath had seen something like this, so he was a little curious. However, Heath himself wasn't quite sure what was going on. Heath also noticed that after he asked, a hint of hesitation and struggle flashed in the man's eyes. The man seemed to be thinking about something. Heath was curious about what was going on. Heath had never seen this type of person before, which puzzled him. However, Heath didn't say anything and just waited to see what the man intended to order.

"Are there any made with arsenic?" the man asked, but his words made Heath's eyes turn strange. Heath even wondered if he had misheard, because the man's words sounded very odd. What did he mean by "are there any made with arsenic?" Was he sure it was arsenic and not something else? Looking at the man's expression, Heath didn't think he was a fool, someone who didn't know that arsenic was highly poisonous. However, Heath also had some doubts about his own judgment. After all, Heath seemed to have actually heard of arsenic being used in medicine before, but the dosage of arsenic was very difficult to control, so even if it were to be used in medicine, it would basically require a very professional doctor to determine the dosage.

Although Heath knew how to cook medicinal cuisine, he genuinely didn't know how to use arsenic. So, Heath could only shake his head to indicate he didn't. Unexpectedly, the man sighed and left, leaving Heath completely bewildered. What was going on? Heath was utterly confused. Wasn't he supposed to be here for dinner? Wasn't he supposed to be ordering medicinal cuisine? How did things suddenly turn out like this?

The man had just opened the door when another customer entered—a young woman. Upon seeing him, a strange emotion flickered in her eyes, and she cautiously stepped aside. Only after the man left did she enter, curiously surveying Heath's restaurant. Heath, however, was even more curious about the man from before. His intense curiosity almost made him want to ask. Heath wasn't usually one to ask questions, but he genuinely couldn't resist inquiring about the man's strange behavior. He really wanted to know his story.

However, Heath held back and simply looked at the girl in front of him and asked her what she wanted to eat.

"Boss, could you please tell me what that man ordered?" To Heath's surprise, the woman actually came to ask him. Looking at her curious eyes, Heath knew this girl was also quite curious. However, Heath didn't say anything, only that the man had ordered medicinal cuisine but hadn't accepted it and left. Heath naturally didn't mention the specifics. If it were Officer Jenny, Heath would have answered immediately, but this was just an ordinary girl, not Officer Jenny, so Heath naturally wouldn't say more. After all, arsenic was a rather sensitive topic.

"Sigh, Brother Li has it tough." The girl sighed, then ordered a draft beer and a fried chicken. Heath nodded when he heard this. The draft beer could be poured directly, and the fried chicken was also very convenient, it would be ready in no time. Heath even went up to deliver the food himself, just to see if the other party could say anything. All he knew about the other party was that her surname was Li, and that was all he knew.

"Boss, let me tell you, if Brother Leon comes again, you absolutely, positively cannot sell him anything poisonous." The girl said very seriously. Heath nodded after hearing this, but he didn't expect the girl to be so proactive in saying it. Now Heath also knew the girl's name was Leon, and it seemed that the girl even knew that he might buy poisonous things, but Heath didn't know the specific reason or why.

However, the other party didn't seem inclined to say anything more, instead drinking and eating fried chicken. Heath had no choice but to give up. But Heath was also a little curious, wondering what had happened to that man just now.

Meanwhile, Leon, whom Heath was worried about, had returned to his apartment complex. However, as soon as he got back, Leon's expression became even more complicated. He walked quickly with his head down, seemingly afraid to look at the passersby. As he walked, he heard cries of pain, interspersed with various vulgar and offensive language. Occasionally, a phrase like "ungrateful wretch" or "I raised you for nothing" would pop out. Hearing these words, Leon's expression turned ugly. He walked quickly and disappeared into the dimly lit stairwell.

The four middle-aged women playing mahjong nearby watched Lyon's retreating figure and then sighed together.

"Xiao Li really has it tough, having to deal with someone like this..." Aunt A sighed, then casually picked up a card.

"Isn't that right? The family's financial situation was already bad, and now it's even worse; they have to spend over nine hundred yuan a month on medicine." Aunt B shook her head as well.

"Yes, Xiao Li works himself to the bone every day and only earns four thousand five hundred. He still has to pay rent, utilities, and living expenses. I heard that he hasn't paid his property management fees for several years. Only the property manager knows about their situation, so he hasn't chased after them. Otherwise, if it were any other family, they would have gone to their door to ask for payment countless times." Aunt C touched the gold ring on her hand and then shook her head. They were all old neighbors who had watched Xiao Li grow up. Seeing him like this now, these old neighbors felt a pang of sadness.

"Sigh, if it were me, I would endure it every day. If I couldn't take it anymore, I would just die to avoid burdening my child." Aunt D pressed her hearing aid in her ear with some irritation as she listened to the harsh cursing.

"Don't talk nonsense, this disease doesn't affect you." Aunt C rolled her eyes. She knew more and had asked her medical student son. Then she knew how tormenting this disease was. But in the end, it was caused by not having money, so no one could be blamed.

Chapter 1104 Crab Roe Noodles

People say that real life is far more absurd than movies, and Heath actually thinks so too. Take the girl he just served, for example. She had been drinking, which isn't really strange, but what was odd was that she became quite peculiar after drinking. After checking his phone, Heath was torn about whether to continue operating. It was already quite late. He had arrived in Yuhong City late, and by the time he went to the Super Department Store, it would have been even later. It was almost 10:30 p.m. So, after hesitating for a moment, Heath went to the entrance, put away the "Open for Business" sign, and then turned to look at the girl, lost in thought.

The girl named Mina was dancing in Heath's food truck, and what was most impressive was that she was dancing alone, but it was a duet. The whole time, it was as if there was someone she couldn't see in front of her. Heath even asked Kirlia, but Kirlia said she couldn't see anyone either. So, the girl was indeed dancing a duet by herself. This made Heath both amused and exasperated, but she still went up to her and told her. Then, Heath saw Mina's drunken eyes and expression, which made Heath judge that she was definitely drunk.

Left with no other option, Heath asked for the other person's phone number and dialed a number labeled "Dad." A moment later, a middle-aged man rushed over, thanking Heath profusely before leaving with his drunken daughter. Only then did Heath finish his work for the day. When Heath returned to the lounge, he saw Cynthia lying on the sofa playing Pokémon Rumble with Zoroark. Zoroark looked very serious, clearly having been defeated by Cynthia many times. However, her seriousness was of no use; under Heath's watchful gaze, Zoroark was once again reduced to a blur of light.

Heath almost laughed, but he held back when he looked at Zoroark; the little guy was quite troublesome.

"Heath!" Cynthia beckoned to Heath, who sat down. Heath wasn't really interested in playing games, since he didn't play them much. After talking to Zoroark, Heath turned on the TV to watch the news. He hadn't watched TV in a long time; TV was mostly used as a way to play games. But Heath wasn't really sleepy, so watching TV a little longer was a good option. After turning on the TV, Heath noticed a news report on e-commerce.

"Huh? A fire broke out in that tourist destination too?" Heath was a little surprised. The news he had just seen was quite interesting. It said that a massive wildfire had broken out in Hawaii, a tourist destination, causing countless houses and forests to be burned down. An investigation was underway. What surprised Heath was the location of the wildfire. After all, Hawaii and Pokémon are only one word apart, but one is a tourist destination in the real world, and the other is a tourist destination in the Pokémon world. So, Heath had once suspected that the two places were actually the same place, just with different names.

Hawaii is said to have a great many instruments for detecting natural disasters, which can immediately sound an alarm when a natural disaster occurs. So theoretically, even in the event of a fire, these alarms should be able to help the local people detect and be alert to such fires. However, it is unclear why such a huge loss still occurred. What is most ridiculous is that the houses of ordinary people were completely destroyed, while the residences of the wealthy were undamaged and intact. Their houses were well protected.

Even Heath had just checked his phone and saw that many people online were discussing this issue. Some had even found videos taken by local residents showing the wildfires seemingly targeting their area while showing no mercy to the nearby wealthy neighborhoods. This had generated a lot of resentment online, with many accusing the wealthy of doing something wrong.
