I run an orphanage in the Pokémon world.

"Snorlax..." Teng Shu scratched his head, then turned off the computer. He was somewhat pessimistic about the adoption rate of Snorlax.

Munchlax eats a lot, but its battle strength is not very good. It takes too many resources to evolve a Munchlax into a Snorlax. However, if it is a Snorlax, then there will be no shortage of adopters, since Snorlax is a Pokémon with pretty good strength among ordinary Pokémon.

It's also soft and comfortable to lie on.

Tengshu had seen a sofa based on Snorlax online before and really liked it, but he couldn't afford it.

Chapter 259 The Queen Bee's Gift

"I still need to buy food for Munchlax today." Teng Shu stood in the bathroom washing up, yawning as he did so.

He originally wanted to go to bed early last night, but he couldn't resist watching the latest anime, so he stayed up two hours late, which made him feel a bit tired now. However, he could still handle staying up late, since his body wasn't that badly injured.

However, those who have already developed this habit know that once the biological clock is delayed for a while, it will always make people feel a little uncomfortable.

Teng Shu glanced at the mirror and could see the living room through it, where Xin Ye Miao was sleeping on the sofa.

Its body was still slowly rising and falling.

Is Shin-Ye-Niao asleep?

Like sleeping.

Last night, when Tengshu was getting ready for bed, she went out and drank a glass of water. However, this meant facing a dilemma: drinking water at night could increase the burden on the heart, while not drinking water could make the blood thicker.

Teng Shu couldn't remember where he had seen this evaluation, but since that's what it said, he believed it.

When Tengshu went out, he saw Xinye Miao still watching magic videos. When she noticed Tengshu, she hurriedly pretended to be asleep, which inexplicably reminded Tengshu of himself when he was a child and secretly played on his phone in bed.

So Teng Shu pretended not to see it and even 'thoughtfully' turned off the computer.

There's no need to lock it. Shin-chan doesn't know how to turn on the computer, and even if she did, she wouldn't know how to open a webpage to search for magic videos. She can learn Psychic Pokémon, but it's still quite difficult for her to learn other Pokémon.

"And then... ha... it seems like no one came to the Alliance's monthly sweep event. Is it because of the bad weather?" Teng Shu yawned, straightened his clothes, and pulled up Xin Ye Miao's little blanket so she could sleep more soundly. Then Teng Shu put on his knitted hat and went out.

"Caw!" The raven landed skillfully on the vine's shoulder, preening its feathers with a hint of affection in its eyes.

"Good morning, Blackie." Teng Shu smiled and stroked the Black Raven's feathers. The Black Raven perched steadily on Teng Shu's shoulder, looking very energetic.

As soon as Tengshu led Murkrow outside, he saw Munchlax peeking out of the kitchen door. Judging from Munchlax's appearance, Tengshu knew what it was up to.

Teng Shu was somewhat speechless.

Yesterday, he specifically talked to Munchlax about its mealtimes, but it was clear that Munchlax, being a special Pokémon, didn't pay much attention to it, or rather, every minute of Munchlax's day was mealtime.

"Little Munchlax, it's not breakfast time yet, have some berries first." Tengshu took out a berry from his pocket and tossed it to Munchlax. Munchlax finished it in one bite, then looked at Tengshu with lingering interest, mouth open, pointing with its little paws, looking like a "rich lady is hungry."

"That's all, wait a bit." Teng Shu said helplessly, he really had no more tree fruits on hand.

This tree fruit was something Teng Shu brought with him that morning, intending to snack on it on the way to refresh himself. Because this tree fruit is quite sour, although it has a sweet aftertaste, it is still quite sour. He even chilled it in ice water. Taking a bite first thing in the morning, the sourness instantly energizes you.

The little Munchlax left dejectedly. Tengshu felt a little helpless; it seemed he needed to buy more food for the little Munchlax as soon as possible.

Upon arriving at the gate of the orphanage, Teng Shu saw the bear dressed up. The bear was wearing the outfit that Akai had made for it, looking very cool, like a heavy mecha.

"Good morning, Big Black." Teng Shu greeted the bear-wearing creature. The bear suddenly raised its greatsword and then slammed it down, looking strangely cool.

Teng Shu glanced at the greatsword in the bear's hand. This was also made by Akai. He had to admit that Akai was really amazing; he could do everything.

After saying goodbye to the bear, Tengshu walked out of the orphanage. The winter morning was cold, and after walking for a while, dew appeared on the feathers of the raven. Tengshu took out a tissue and wiped the raven's feathers, then quickened his pace.

During this morning's patrol, Tengshu didn't find any abandoned Pokémon, but he did see that there were more signs of wild Pokémon activity around the orphanage. It seems that these wild Pokémon are coming to the orphanage more frequently.

Tengshu didn't care about this, since the welfare home was about to be upgraded, and the area of ​​the upgraded welfare home would be expanded, and the natural environment suitable for wild Pokémon to live in would also be expanded, which could accommodate more Pokémon.

Even if the vine tree were upgraded to become a welfare home for the entire alliance region, it probably wouldn't be able to fill it up, so the vine tree doesn't mind letting them live there.

With a buzzing sound of wings, Teng Shu turned his head and saw a familiar Pokémon. It was being guarded by a swarm of three bees and a beedrill, and was holding a strange object in its hand.

It's the Queen Bee!

"Vee Queen?" Teng Shu looked at the Pokémon in front of him with some surprise. He had seen Vespiquen before. She was a stray Pokémon that did not want to enter the orphanage, but wanted to build a nest in the orphanage, but Teng Shu refused.

However, the other party seemed to be doing well in Viridian Forest, so Tengshu didn't interfere much. They would occasionally send over some honey or something similar. This time...

After seeing the vine, the queen bee flew even faster. The raven glanced at the queen bee, then closed its eyes and continued to doze off. It had seen the queen bee before, so it wasn't worried.

"Queen Bee, it's been a long time." Teng Shu smiled at the Queen Bee, and the three-necked bees and bees around her stopped, showing that this guy was of very high status.

However, looking at the Bee Queen in front of him, Teng Shu also sighed. Insect Pokémon generally do not live long. Of course, there are some that live very long, but the Bee Queen's lifespan is not among them.

The queen bee in front of me looked a bit older than before.

The queen bee flew to the vine, followed by two other bees carrying something to the vine.

Teng Shu glanced at it; it was a bright green stone that looked somewhat like jade.

"This is... for me?" Teng Shu was a little surprised. The Queen Bee nodded. Teng Shu was a little confused, but he still accepted it.

He felt that the Queen Bee seemed to have something on her mind, but after he took the bee, she left immediately, coming and going in a hurry.

Chapter 260 100,000 Whys (Deluxe Edition)

"Today is really strange." Teng Shu looked at the jade in his hand, scratched his head, and really didn't expect to receive a gift so early in the morning, especially from the Queen Bee.

However, Teng Shu still couldn't understand the significance of the Bee Queen giving him this stone, so he simply took it back to his room. He planned to ask a professional later to see what it was. If it was something valuable, he could sell it to improve the lives of the Pokémon in the orphanage.

When Teng Shu returned to his office, he casually put the jadeite into a cabinet, which also contained Diancie's pink diamond.

“Tianxi…” Teng Shu looked at the pink diamond in front of him, his eyes filled with contemplation.

Ever since obtaining Diancie's diamond, Tengshu has been researching how to release Diancie, but so far, the magical conch has not reacted.

So Tengshu still doesn't know how to unlock this diamond.

Tengshu even tried putting the diamond and jade together, but there was no reaction. Tengshu sighed. It seemed that this thing had nothing to do with Diancie's diamond. But that was normal. If any piece of jade could solve the problem, it would be like being treated like a protagonist.

"It seems we still need to rely on luck. The trigger probability of this magical conch is too low." Teng Shu shook his head. He didn't know what to do at the moment. After all, the situation with this Diancie's pink diamond was quite special. Even the Pokémon professors didn't know how to handle this, so Teng Shu couldn't find any precedent.

After placing the peculiar stone, Tengshu began preparing breakfast for the little ones.

"Uncle Tengshu!" As soon as Tengshu entered the kitchen, he heard the voices of three little girls. Meanwhile, in the canteen, Locke, who was chatting with his daughter and wife, turned pale. But when Locke looked at his daughter, he breathed a sigh of relief. With his daughter here, there shouldn't be any problems, right? After all, his daughter was very considerate.

"Good morning!" Teng Shu greeted the three little girls with a smile, and then Xiao Lan noticed Luo Xin next to Locke looking at them curiously...

Locke suddenly had a sense of unease, he didn't know why, but he just felt very uneasy.

Locke's unease soon came true.

Xiao Lan, Xiao Huang, and Luo Xin hit it off immediately, and the three little girls started chatting instantly. Then they let out screams, and the two "100,000 Whys" books evolved into a deluxe edition of "100,000 Whys," complete with a daughter's glare. Locke was exhausted; he suddenly felt like he had been pulling all-nighters. It was unbelievable.

"Good morning, Uncle Tengshu." As usual, Xiaohong didn't bother Locke, but greeted Tengshu with a smile and also handed him a gift box. Tengshu smiled and accepted it, and then found that it contained a set of knives with some strange patterns and designs on them, which looked very expensive.

"Thank you, Xiao Hong." Teng Shu pulled out the kitchen knife and weighed it in his hand. He was quite satisfied. It felt good in his hand and wasn't too heavy, which was just right for him.

These knives look expensive, but Teng Shu is still very satisfied. After all, these knives look to be of very good quality and are good for chopping bones. He was originally planning to replace his kitchen knife, but now he has saved a lot of money.

Xiao Hong smiled politely, then sat down next to her younger sisters and quietly drank her plain water.

Teng Shu was cooking in the kitchen, but this time he was under a lot of pressure because there was a reincarnated starving ghost staring at him. The little eyes seemed to be glued to Teng Shu's face, so he cooked much faster.

After finally finishing, Tengshu moved the big pot next to Munchlax and glared at it. Munchlax had been staring at him like a starving ghost, making Tengshu's scalp tingle.

"Eat up." Teng Shu looked at the little Munchlax and said helplessly. The little Munchlax cheered and then darted into the hole. The two Constables stood quietly behind Xiao Hong, looking at the little Munchlax's amazing speed with a look of surprise on their faces.

Tengshu ignored the little Munchlax and instead served breakfast to the three sisters and Locke's wife and daughters, and then prepared breakfast for the Pokémon as well.

As for the bucket for Munchlax, Tengshu has already labeled it. This little bucket will be used specifically as Munchlax's food bowl and will not be used for anything else.

"Caw?" Murkrow ate while curiously watching the little Snorlax, who was now lying on the ground with a round belly, rubbing its belly.

The abandoned monkey looked at the little Snorlax's special food bowl, then at the amount it was eating, and a strange expression appeared on its face. It had never seen such a big eater in a Pokémon.

After all, while Snorlax can eat a lot, its size is what it is, so even if it eats a lot, it's not that surprising. But baby Snorlax isn't that big.

"...Dad, Dad, why does Munchlax eat so much?" Luo Xin tugged at her father's sleeve curiously. Locke, wearing a pain mask, could only look to Teng Shu for help. Teng Shu smiled and explained, which finally attracted the attention of the little girls.

After a lively breakfast, Ai Guanshi took over the task of washing the dishes, while Teng Shu drove away from the orphanage.

There was no other way; if this problem with Munchlax wasn't resolved soon, it would become too troublesome. Tengshu didn't want to wake up to Munchlax's resentful gaze; it was just too frightening.

"Let me see, Xiao Guang's father's supermarket, I remember it's in..." Teng Shu searched on the map and then drove there according to the navigation. When he arrived at the scene, Teng Shu saw the supermarket, which was quite easy to recognize.

Guangmei Supermarket

"I heard that the name of this supermarket comes from the owner's wife and children." Two middle-aged women, like NPCs who suddenly appeared, pushed a shopping cart while introducing the origin of the supermarket's name.

Teng Shu's lips twitched.

But when you hear it this way, it doesn't seem wrong. Guang, Xiao Guang, and Na Mei is Xiao Guang's mother's name, right?

Teng Shu shook his head and went inside. He had come to check on Snorlax's food.

As soon as Teng Shu entered the supermarket, he saw a familiar face.

Or rather, a familiar ghost.

Saki.

The other person had his head stuck in the pile of rice, but Teng Shu still recognized him by his clothes.

Chapter 261 Complex People

Saki said she was going out to play, and Fujiki didn't care. Then he didn't see her for a few days, but he didn't expect to see her again now.

However, seeing Saki with her head stuck in the rice, Fujiki still didn't go over to disturb her—mainly because Fujiki felt that Saki seemed to be having a lot of fun.

"Let me see... Pokémon section..." Teng Shu found the Pokémon food section. There were many kinds of food here, and they were further divided into various types of Pokémon food, from Normal type to Fairy type, everything was available.

Snorlax's food was placed together with the regular Pokémon food, and Tengshu went over to take a look.

"Shugbeard food... 50 kilograms, 3,000 yuan? That's expensive?" Teng Shu was a little surprised when he saw the price. Although he knew that the League could offer discounts on food, usually 20% off, which would bring the price down to 2,400 yuan, it was still not cheap.

"This amount is too small. If I buy one bag, it won't last for more than a few days. It seems I need to find another way." Teng Shu fell into deep thought.

Teng Shu also noticed the relatively cheaper Snorlax food on the other side, also fifty kilograms, but only seven hundred yuan.

This is a cheaper version of the staple food, but the ingredients are not as high-quality. After all, you get what you pay for, and if you want to lower the price, you have to make some sacrifices in the raw materials.

"Sir, are you looking to buy Snorlax food?" A cheerful voice asked. Teng Shu turned his head and saw a girl dressed as a supermarket sales assistant, smiling at him.

Teng Shu instinctively wanted to refuse, after all, these supermarket sales assistants were very talkative and liked to recommend products, but Teng Shu usually only wanted to choose products himself when shopping at the supermarket, so he always kept his distance from these supermarket sales assistants.

These people are incredibly persistent, and I wonder if they're getting some kind of sales commission.

"Sir, if you're looking to buy Snorlax food, I actually recommend making it yourself," the girl said with a smile, interrupting Teng Shu's attempt to politely decline. Teng Shu looked at the girl in surprise; she wasn't playing by the rules at all.

"Then how do I make it myself?" Teng Shu asked curiously. He really didn't know how to make Pokémon food, and it seemed cheaper that way.

"Sir, I suggest you search on the [Value-for-Money Life Forum]. I'm still working, so I'm very sorry I can't go into details." The girl still had a business-like smile on her face. Seeing this, Teng Shu quickly thanked her and then stepped aside to take a look at the forum. He then discovered that it was full of life hacks.

These were all shared by these people themselves.

[Inexpensive Pokémon Food Replacement Methods]

Affordable alternatives to Snorlax food

Teng Shu raised an eyebrow. These people really were full of talent. Teng Shu curiously clicked in to take a look.

Then I found that the method for making alternative Snorlax food was quite detailed. After making the food, I saved 200 yuan compared to buying food directly. The only drawback was that there was more staple food, but that's just how it is.

"So all things considered, it'll cost at least five hundred yuan." Teng Shu gasped. No wonder raising Snorlax is so expensive. Moreover, there aren't many Snorlax in the wild. If a lot of Snorlax gather in one place, the League will even go and deal with it, relocating some of the Snorlax to prevent them from eating too much and causing problems with the local ecosystem.

"Hey? Dean Teng Shu, you still want to save money?" A familiar voice made Teng Shu shudder, almost dropping the phone in his hand.

He turned his head and saw Saki, who was walking past the shelf and looking at him and the phone in his hand. When she noticed that Fujiki had turned his head, she still had a grin on her face.

Teng Shu was somewhat annoyed and wanted to question him, but considering the guests coming and going around them, he gave up the idea and instead asked in a low voice.

"Why did you come here?" Teng Shu asked helplessly. He had deliberately gone around her, but he still managed to be discovered by Saki. It was truly a twist of fate.

"I was just bored and stuck my hand in the rice for fun. I wanted to try it when I was shopping at the supermarket... and then I saw you!" Saki said with a smile. Fujiki's lips twitched. Don't stick your hand in the rice! Although Saki is a ghost, Fujiki still didn't plan to buy the rice there because it felt strange. The thought of buying rice with someone else's head stuck in it made Fujiki feel very weird.

Teng Shu was somewhat helpless, but he still took a bag of premium food and a bag of regular food. He planned to go back and study it himself to see what kind of food his little Munchlax liked.

"Fujiki, why are you carrying two bags? Why did you buy Snorlax food after I left? Did a Snorlax come?" Saki started asking a million questions again, but Fujiki only said a few words to Saki from time to time, while also picking out a few items that were no longer available at the orphanage and taking them back with him.

This Guangmei Supermarket is quite large, and there are many customers coming and going.
