Pokémon: I picked up a reborn Eevee at the start of the game.

Xia Chen silently complained to himself.

…………

"Well, here's the thing. We have another option: 500,000 yuan in cash, plus two annual memberships to Silver Company, which entitle you to a 15% discount on purchases at Silver Company for a year. What do you think?"

"More or less," Jiang Qian replied calmly.

Wang Fang breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and then said with a smile, "That's good. I hope you two will help me with today's matter."

Jiang Qian sneered, "We were just talking about compensation, what does hush money have to do with it?"

Wang Fang: "."

He desperately wanted to slam the door and leave, but after thinking about the serious consequences of the matter being exposed, he could only grit his teeth and say, "Add another 300,000!"

Jiang Qian raised her head like a proud dancing swan, "Are you kidding me? If this were exposed and hyped up, my brother could gain both fame and fortune. In your eyes, this is only 300,000?"

Xia Chen silently added while lying in bed, "It costs more money."

Wang Fang felt his world spinning. He had been hunting geese all day, but he had been pecked in the eye by one. Had he finally gotten his comeuppance for all the evil he had done over the years?

His voice was mournful, even tinged with a sob, "Another 500,000, that's really the most I can offer."

Jiang Qian replied decisively, "Deal. The total is 1.3 million. I hope to see the transfer record tomorrow."

Wang Fang opened his mouth, but in the end, he couldn't bring himself to say, "I meant add 500,000, not 800,000."

Xia Chen thought for a moment and added, "Oh right, what you just said still stands, right? I need to come back to that place again tomorrow, to the Elf Sanctuary."

Wang Fang, fearing that this ancestor might cause more trouble, stammered, "Well... that place is quite dangerous, you'd better not go."

Jiang Qian chuckled, "Mr. Wang, I suppose you wouldn't want what happened at your scenic spot today to be exposed, would you?"

Wang Fang: "."

In the quiet hospital room, the phone rang. Jiang Qian glanced at the message, then turned and said, "The car has arrived. Let's go."

…………

As the car sped along the lakeside road of Yunze Lake, Xia Chen, feeling the luxurious interior of the unbranded, extra-long sedan, became even more certain of his guess that Jiang Qian was a rich woman.

The wealthy woman, however, was no longer the arrogant person she had been just moments before, and sincerely thanked Xia Chen.

"Brother Xia, thank you so much for today. Otherwise, I really wouldn't know what to do."

Xia Chen waved his hand, "If you want to thank someone, thank Ibu. She heard your son's cries and chased after him."

Jiang Qian nodded and thanked Ibu again.

Eevee wagged its tail modestly, "Ee~ (No problem~)"

Xia Chen asked curiously, "Although it may be a bit presumptuous, I still want to ask why you brought a coal turtle with you?"

Although it's clear that this Torkoal is very strong, no matter how strong it is, it's still just a Torkoal, one of the slowest Pokémon.

There's really nothing we can do about what happened today.

Jiang Qian smiled wryly, "Xiao Han prefers to eat the meat roasted on the back of the coal turtle, and since there aren't any powerful spirits in Lingmiao Mountain, he was a bit careless. Anyway, I will definitely learn from today's lesson in the future."

Xia Chen twitched the corner of his mouth, not expecting such a bizarre reason.

"Oh, right, I heard from Xiaohan that you want to tame an ugly fish. Although I can't give you a beautiful scale for now, I can help you get an ugly fish with good talent."

Jiang Qian is indeed a rich woman; a Ugly Fish with decent talent is worth at least a million, and she just gave it away like that.

However, Xia Chen didn't seem to have any objections, saying, "Let's forget about that."

Jiang Qian became anxious, "How can this be? The scenic area's compensation is for the scenic area. You saved Xiao Han, so please don't refuse this small token of gratitude!"

Xia Chen replied helplessly, "Please let me finish. What I mean is, I really like that ugly fish from today, and I'll tame it myself. You can exchange it for five fairy gems, which are more important to me."

The five fairy gems were roughly equivalent in value to the ugly fish, and Xia Chen didn't want to owe them a favor.

Moreover, with the most important Fairy Gem secured, plus half of the 1.3 million, I no longer need to worry about raising Eevee and Feebas.

…………

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qian breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "My company has business dealings with the Carlos region, so this is no problem at all. If you'd like, you can buy from me from now on, and I'll sell it to you at cost price."

"Also, you can borrow my Pokémon when we go to Lingmiao Mountain tomorrow. Although there aren't any powerful wild Pokémon there, you should still be careful."

Seeing Jiang Qian's concerned and rambling manner, Xia Chen smiled slightly. This woman's emotional intelligence is really high.

Although it's unclear whether her feelings were genuine or not, concern and care are undeniable. This trip has even helped Ibrahimovic build a positive connection for himself.

He smiled and nodded in response to Jiang Qian's words, while subconsciously rubbing Ibu's head.

Ibu muttered to himself, "This inexplicable development is making me feel like I'm getting further and further away from my past life."

(An extra chapter today to show my sincerity!)

Chapter 24 Cheese Swamp King (Please continue reading!)

This was the first night since Xia Chen transmigrated that he didn't spend the night at home.

Lying on the soft bed in Jiang Qian's luxurious villa, Xia Chen held Yi Bu in his arms, reminiscing about this wonderful and exciting day.

The berries and Pokémon items gathered before that incident were completely insignificant compared to the rewards received later.

On Xia Chen's way back, Wang Fang readily transferred 1.3 million yuan to the bank account he had left.

When Xia Chen tried to transfer half of it to Jiang Qian, she refused with a smile and even humiliated him with something like, "The seat you're sitting in is worth more than that."

But shamefully, he accepted her humiliation.

So, 1.3 million in cash, five fairy gems, and a yearly shopping card from Silver Company.

This time they've truly made a fortune!

As long as I don't greedily raise more other Pokémon, at least I won't have to worry about the food and training costs for Eevee and Feebas before I go to university.

Although I haven't tamed the Ugly Fish yet.

As the saying goes, "He who eats another's food is bound to do his bidding," and having received so many benefits, Xia Chen felt embarrassed to refuse Jiang Qian's invitation to have dinner at her house.

After a pleasant dinner, the two grew even closer.

During the conversation, it was learned that Jiang Qian runs a technology company that researches elf creatures on her own. She is quite well-known in Zhijiang and has assets of several billion yuan at a young age, making her a typical rich woman.

But Xia Chen has a strong stomach and doesn't like to be a kept man; he doesn't have any of those strange ideas.

Unlike those characters in erotic novels who develop feelings for every handsome young man they see, Jiang Qian didn't.

The two had a close yet distinct relationship, and they got along very comfortably.

Finally, Jiang Qian kept Xia Chen behind, saying that she would need to lend him the elf the next day.

Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Xia Chen rubbed his head, turned off the light, and went to sleep.

Silent all night.

…………

The next morning.

Sunlight streamed into the simply decorated room, waking Xia Chen from his slumber.

He stared at the unfamiliar ceiling for about ten seconds before realizing he wasn't home.

Eevee, who was beside me, seemed to have woken up earlier than me and was no longer in the room.

When it was time to get up, Xia Chen realized that his legs were sore and aching. He struggled to get up and limped through his washing up.

Looking down from the balcony of the room, Ibrahimovic was consciously jogging in the villa's small garden.

The difference in physical constitution between humans and Pokémon became apparent. After a night of recovery, Eevee was already bouncing around and back to normal, while Xia Chen could only limp slowly down the stairs.

In the restaurant, Jiang Qian and her son Jiang Han were eating at the table. When they saw Xia Chen come down, they quickly invited him to come over.

Good morning, Uncle!

Jiang Han greeted Xia Chen with great enthusiasm, but only received a forced smile in return from Xia Chen.

Firstly, I'm feeling really unwell.

Secondly, can't this kid change his tune?

Jiang Qian glared at her son reproachfully, "That's so impolite. You should call him 'brother'."

Xia Chen thought about it and realized that, based on his soul age, being called "uncle" didn't seem unfair, so he decided not to dwell on it.

"It's alright, good morning Xiaohan, good morning Sister Qian."

He greeted them and sat down.

The breakfast was plentiful, and Xia Chen ate until she was about 80% full without any hesitation.

The female maid in a maid outfit was clearing the table. Jiang Qian wiped her mouth and said, "I have to go to the company in a bit. Feel free to borrow any spirits you like. They're all in the garden. Don't worry about Xiao Han; he has spirits to keep him company at home."

After saying that, she hurriedly left with her bag, her brisk manner a stark contrast to her image as the caring older sister from yesterday.

Jiang Han was used to it and pulled Xia Chen towards the garden.

"Brother Xia Chen, let me introduce you to the other members of our family."

Xia Chen was puzzled. "I told you to call me brother, but you called me uncle. Now that I don't mind, you've changed it back."

What, is your specialty to be a contrarian?

…………

Silently complaining, Xia Chen followed Jiang Han to his garden.

The garden is teeming with elves; besides Xia Chen's Eevee, there are six or seven other elves.

At this moment, Eevee is chasing and playing with a lively Arcanine.

Jiang Han introduced the Pokémon in his home, starting with a Swamp King that was lying on the grass, leisurely sunbathing.

It stared at the blue sky with its big, green bean-sized eyes, motionless and lost in thought, just like a sculpture.

"Cheese Swamp King"

Perhaps because his voice hadn't fully recovered, Jiang Han's voice sounded somewhat muffled, and Xia Chen inexplicably misheard it as this.
