Elves: Angler's Rainy Day Team

Chapter 978, Six Months Later...

The 350th day of my stay in the Orange Islands was cloudy.

Half a year has passed since the development of the land, and the construction of the port is nearing completion. The faster gym has been built, and the decoration and furniture are almost ready. Yu Hai has moved in with the elves.

"Mmmmm," Bat Daicho finally saw Ukai and was so excited that she stuck to Ukai the whole day. It was really helpless.

"Okay, stop it, I'm busy," Yu Hai smiled and patted Chin Daidie's head. It had been almost a year since they last saw each other. He would wait until things settled down here before he went to pick up Chin Daidie and the others.

"Mmmmm," Butterfree still held Yu Hai tightly. It really missed Yu Hai as it hadn't seen him for more than a year.

"Okay, okay, whatever you want," Ukai had no choice but to let Butterfree cling to him. He was sitting at the table calculating the cost of building the gym over the past year.

The land where the lakeside cabin was located was also sold through the dojo's channels. After paying taxes, the total sales price was 76 million, which was much more than the original 58 million. It turned out that real estate speculation was the most profitable business.

The Diaoyu Island is now in a state of disrepair, with only two buildings, the port and the gym, and some newly planted citrus trees. The initial reclamation plan for the island has been completed, and the second phase of construction can begin next.

Before that, he had to do some calculations. There was no cost at all to build the island. It was all thanks to the elves, Luo Yan and others. The biggest expense was free of charge, which was a great help.

The construction of the port cost 400 million yuan, the construction of the gym cost 250 million yuan, and the food and accommodation for the past six months cost 15 million yuan. Food and accommodation are not included in the project payment. The total cost of the initial development is 600 million yuan, 65 million yuan.

The Xiagan Island Hot Springs Center, land, and hot spring development license sold during this period totaled five hundred million and seventy-four million.

The land of the lakeside cabin is 76 million, the gems picked up on the island are 120 million, and 90 million were withdrawn from an anonymous bank card, totaling 860 million and 200 million.

The total amount left is 100 million, 95.2 million.

In addition, there were the expenses for his travels in the past two years, the purchase of supplies to assist the elves in their breakthroughs, and some miscellaneous things, which totaled more than 310 million Alliance coins.

He made a lot of money in the past two years. He still had more than 200 million left from the auction, and he made more than 200 million from the wanted criminals he captured on Honglian Island. In addition, there was cash in the backpack, totaling more than 400 million and close to 500 million in cash.

The remaining balance is 100 million, 87 million.

After the final calculation, he still had a balance of 300 million, 82.2 million.

Almost 400 million in funds were not enough for the subsequent island construction. The hot spring hotel had not been built, the residential area in the port had not been built, the elves' honeycomb houses had not been built, and the citrus trees that had been planted had only grown a little.

All these constructions require money, and he is already thinking of ways to make money, which is to give away elves in exchange for labor.

Immigrants must settle in family units, generally calculated as three to four people. Two adults will not give elves, elves are given to children, and what they need is the labor of adults.

If one family counts as one laborer, and one thousand families count as one thousand laborers, that's four thousand people, and each family needs a house.

Based on the average price of 30 to 40 million yuan for a 120-square-meter house, if these 1,000 families want to buy a house and settle down, that would require a labor force worth 30 billion Alliance coins.

But the housing prices on his Diaoyu Island cannot be that expensive. Even if the price is cut in half and only sold for 20 million Alliance coins per house, coupled with the interest-free policy, a thousand families will have a labor force worth 20 billion Alliance coins.

This is only the labor value of 4,000 people. If it is 8,000 or 16,000 people, the 20 billion will be quadrupled to 80 billion in labor value. He can build whatever he wants on the island and does not have to worry about these people having no jobs.

It is entirely possible to let these residents buy and build their own houses, and help him build the island. Besides, the food, clothing, housing and transportation of more than 10,000 people all require money.

He could also extend the mobilization period of this group of labor. For a house that originally cost 20 million, based on an average monthly salary of 300,000 Union coins, each family would need to work for five to six years without eating or drinking.

Now, adding the food and drink for a family, the various expenses for the children, the decoration and furniture of the house, etc., the mobilization period of the islanders can be extended to ten years. It is impossible for him to do any fine decoration. At most, he can paint the walls and install water and electricity. The rest can be solved by the islanders themselves.

In the next ten years, there is no need to worry about the unemployment of this group of people. When the island is truly built, the development of tourism and port trade will create many jobs and be able to absorb this group of labor. The island will then achieve sustainable development and become completely stable.

My goodness, what is huge profit? This is huge profit. It is faster than robbing money. You have to risk your life and make tens of millions or even hundreds of millions by robbing other gangs.

All it takes is an initial investment of materials and the labor of the immigrant families. Once the apartment buildings are built, the snowball will grow bigger and bigger, eventually tapping into an 80 billion yuan market. Add in the pre-sale system, and then run away with the money...

Ahem, there's no way he could run away. This is 80 billion. How many times did he have to cheat and steal? How many times did he have to put his head on his belt? To earn this 80 billion.

As the number of immigrants increases and more families buy houses, the construction of the island will be faster, more funds will be leveraged, and more money will be earned. Is he still worried about not having enough money to build the island!

His biggest worry has been solved. Now he only needs to consider where to get people. Things will be much simpler. He has already prepared how to attract immigrants to settle down.

In addition to this good news, there was other good news during this period. As early as at the alliance headquarters, the agile bug broke through to the King level.

[Agile Bug (different color)]

[Attribute: Insect]

[Gender: Male]

[Potential: 67.16%]

[Level: 66.99%]

[Features: Wet Body/61.13%][Hidden Feature: Lightly Wore/65.63%]

[Master the moves...]

After the Agile Bug broke through to the King level, its potential increased by two points. It took another year to increase its potential by one point. Without the push of higher-level breakthrough energy, its potential has almost stagnated.

The level has also reached a bottleneck during this period. If the potential cannot be broken through, the Agile Bug will be stuck at level 60 in its lifetime and will not even reach the Senior King level.

The remaining characteristics have also reached the King level, especially the light equipment characteristic, which is a characteristic specially trained. There are also many insect-type moves that have reached the King level.

In addition to the agile bugs, the clay giant also reached the king level after waking up from its sleep. Its situation is much better than that of the agile bugs. It can also grow bigger and smaller at any time, which is similar to the situation of the telekinetic clay giant.

【Clay Giant (different color)】

[Attribute: Ground + Ghost]

[Gender: None]

[Potential: 89.99%]

[Level: 69.01%]

[Features: Iron Fist/66.61%]

[Master the moves...]

After the Clay Giant broke through to the King of Heaven, he was no longer restricted by the bottleneck of his potential and his level was almost 70. When he was developing the island, he would train the Clay Giant whenever he had time and let the Clay Giant do some work.

Unfortunately, when the Clay Giant broke through to the King of Heaven, his potential remained the same, but he was already stronger than many elves, so he no longer desired too much.

Iron Fist, its only ability, has surpassed the Elite Four level. Because of this ability, besides Ground and Ghost types, many of its punching moves have also surpassed the Elite Four level. After the lake in the gym's backyard is built, he plans to put Golem in the backyard to guard the house. He'll take it out when necessary, and otherwise let Golem guard the house and the little guys in the backyard.

He had asked the Tyrannosaurus Rex and others to dig out the lake at the back, and asked the Swim Frogs and others to spray water to fill the lake. The citrus trees and other fruit tree seedlings had also been planted, and they were just waiting for the trees to grow.

Grass seeds have also been scattered on the grass by the lake, and they have all sprouted. It won’t be long before we get a large piece of lush grass, and the backyard will become a green landscape.

It will take some time for the fruit trees to grow, but we can already build an elf honeycomb cabin at the edge of the woods to block out the lake.

But he has no money now, so he can only wait and see. In addition to the Clay Titan, Magneto has also broken through the Uranus.

【Magneton】

[Attribute: Electricity + Steel]

[Gender: None]

[Potential: 99.98%]

[Level: 69.99%]

[Features: Magnetism/66.13%] [Hidden Features: Analysis/62.23%]

[Master the moves...]

It is unlikely that Magneto's level will change. Instead, its level has reached the bottleneck of the Senior King level. It is absorbing the electricity of Zapdos and Electabuzz to break through the bottleneck of the Senior King level.

The characteristics have also reached the King level, and both the electric and steel-type moves are at the King level. There are more King-level electric moves, and basically the commonly used ones have broken through the King level.

With the electricity from Zapdos and Electramon, there is almost no bottleneck for Magneto's breakthrough. Unless Magneto's level catches up with Electramon, the electricity will lose its breakthrough effect.

His goal is to focus on cultivating Zapdos to achieve a breakthrough, and then feed back to the remaining electric Pokémon, which will also help him save a lot of training resources.

In addition, Diglett, Dragonite, Blastoise, and Smurfette have all broken through to the King level.

The situation of Diglett is similar to that of Magneto. Both are stuck at the bottleneck of the senior king level and are accumulating to break through the senior king level.

Blastoise's potential is limited, and it has reached its peak after breaking through to the King level. He plans to let Blastoise hatch eggs. There is also a Squirtle among the cloned Pokémon, which happens to be a female. He has also cultivated it to the quasi-King level during this period.

With a king-level male Blastoise and a quasi-king-level female Blastoise, the next generation of Blastoise cubs should have good potential.

Except for the evolved Squirtle, he evolved all the other replicant Pokémon that could be bred, except for Psyduck. This guy's evolution was simply a mystery, and he didn't understand it anyway.

During this period, Dragonite also broke through to the King level. His timid character has been reversed, otherwise he would not dare to let Dragonite break through to the King level so quickly.

【Kuailong】

[Attribute: Dragon + Flying]

[Gender: Male]

[Potential: 79.89%]

[Level: 68.19%]

[Features: Mental Power/64.33%] [Hidden Features: Multiple Scales/61.13%]

[Master the moves...]

Dragonite's potential had been boosted by the Great White Jade fragments, reaching the semi-champion level, and was about to cross the threshold of the senior level. Both of its characteristics were also at the king level. This year, it had been training and transporting supplies.

Since there is no port on the coast near the gym, the materials for building the gym are transported by Flying-type Pokémon, which can be considered as training for these little Flying-type Pokémon.

Apart from the Pokémon that have broken through to the King level, there are only the Ivory Pig of Kaji Gym and the Pidgeot of Oopa Island. He is not clear about the situation yet.

Pokémon such as Umbreon, Queen Bee, Golbat, Megalodon, Butterfree, Smelt, and Magna have all reached the quasi-king level.

The Orb-Silk Spider has evolved into Ariados. He no longer needs the Orb-Silk Spider's assistance. The Orb-Silk Spider can settle down on the Fishing Island, set up his own nest, and then find a mate to hatch eggs.

Pokémon such as Megalodon, Alidos, Stoker, and Kingfisher are basically used for breeding and hatching eggs. It depends on what attributes and types of Pokémon the children who immigrate to settle down like.

Of course, there are more elves to choose from. He plans to prepare elves with eleven or twelve attributes. The most precious ones are naturally dragon-type ones. He will prepare two or three, or even four or five elves of each attribute.

Pokémon like Umbreon can't hatch eggs, and the main Pokémon can't hatch eggs either, at least not for the time being. These guys train so hard every day, how can they have the time and energy to hatch eggs?

Now that the initial construction plan for the gym has been completed, it's time for him to go out and collect Pokémon to hatch eggs. It's a good opportunity for him to go to Otsuka Island. These few Pokémon alone cannot support the policy of sending Pokémon to immigrants that he is about to announce.

However, before going to Daliao Island again, he still had to arrange the subsequent construction and hold a farewell banquet for his subordinates who helped him open up the land.

Some of those guys rushed to Diaoyu Island a month after the rockfall announcement, and are now busy preparing dinner in the kitchen. Some of them couldn't come due to other things, but he didn't care.

He was able to complete the initial construction of Diaoyu Island so quickly, thanks to the help of such a group of people. Luo Yan was busy from beginning to end, following up on the construction of the port. Aaron was also busy from beginning to end, and there were still some details of the gym that needed to be improved.

Aping is at the Rocket Team branch on Jingan Island. He only comes here from time to time, and each time he comes, he brings them the resources they desperately need. Dashi has been following Luoyan around, running errands, and has also contributed a lot.

There is also Xiao Ming who came from Guandu and has been helping Aaron, otherwise Aaron would not be able to handle it alone.

Also coming from Fengyuan area were Xiaoshun, Keita, and Meiqi. The three were arranged to learn how to plant trees. The saplings were obtained for free from Dunmei's house. Xiaoshun's grass-type elves were helpful for the growth of trees, so they were asked to do this job.

He knew that some elves could promote the growth of trees and make them grow faster. He had only experienced this once, when the walking grass tribe on Otsuka Island made the burned forest sprout quickly.

Keita and Meiqi did not plan to leave this time when they came back. They wanted to settle down in Diaoyu Island. He allowed the two to build their own houses on the edge of the orchard in the northeast, close to the edge of the urban cluster, and help him guard the orchard.

The elves of these two people are both flying elves. Flying elves guarding the orchard can just drive away the pests in the orchard. He also plans to let these two people take charge of the orchard business in the future.

Shingo is here too. This guy was being hunted by the Aqua Team in the Hoenn region. He played hide-and-seek with the Aqua Team for half a year before he was able to escape. When he returned to his hometown of Chengdu, he received a call from Luo Yan and hurriedly set off to Diaoyu Island.

In the past six months, Shingo has been following Yukai to check for any deficiencies and coordinate the progress of the island's construction. Otherwise, he would not have had so much time to cultivate the dragon baby he just got from Atsumi's family. Shingo is also a rare management talent.

It’s a pity that the other party is only here to help for half a year. He will then return to his hometown in Chengdu. He plans to prepare for some time and visit the Sinnoh region.

He had no choice. Even if he wanted to travel to Sinnoh, he had to wait until Diaoyu Island stabilized and had a trustworthy helper to help him manage Diaoyu Island before he could leave.

He also found this person. What a coincidence! This person is right next to him...
