Trainer? I'm just an ordinary hot spring owner.

The project has passed the acceptance of Party A, and the construction teams can go home for the holiday. The next step is to wait for the project payment to be received, and everyone will drink heavily and take a long bath together.

"Thank you, Uncle Rooney, and thank you all for your help. When my hot spring salon opens, everyone must come. I will give you discounts!"

"Hahaha, don't worry, I will definitely come. I also want to see what the hot spring that can accommodate my construction craftsman looks like!"

"It's not that powerful. We still need to keep observing to see what kind of environment the elves like, and then make adjustments."

Jiang Cheng waved his hand. He was always very strict about what he was going to do.

As the workers left, the bustling hot spring center fell silent again.

Gastly went through the wall and into the hot spring hall. The renovation work this afternoon prevented it from sleeping. The ghost atmosphere in the healing room was very comfortable, and he wanted to sleep well!

Every minute you sleep here is an investment in yourself!

The Magikarp came to the middle of the pond and began to spin slowly. Jiang Cheng looked at the Magikarp in the pond and began to think about the decoration of the Magikarp's pond.

Pokémon really is a very worry-free species. Look at a creature like Magikarp. It can live in any water, whether it's salt water or fresh water, rivers and streams, ponds and lakes, all kinds of waters, all kinds of water conditions, even muddy bays. There is no doubt that it is extremely worry-free, but raising it is just raising it, and as a biology major, Jiang Cheng still wants to pursue some goals.

Although in most cases snakes are kept in a plastic flat drawer in China, snakes can survive in this environment, but their lifespan is not long. This is because, although they are alive, their quality of life is so poor that it is difficult for them to live long.

Since you want to raise them, you should do so with a responsible attitude and not just treat them as your tools or toys for fun.

With this thought in mind and seeing that it would take some time for dinner, Jiang Cheng decided to look up some information about Magikarp.

Through these materials, he had some small guesses about how to create the ecological environment of Magikarp.

Magikarp is described as an all-around fish with a very hard body, and the difference between males and females is determined by the color of the whiskers on both sides.

Magikarp has low intelligence, poor physical strength, and low speed, and has always been at the bottom of the aquatic food chain. The reason why it can survive to this day and cover such a large living range is, firstly, its extremely strong reproductive ability, and secondly, its unique body structure.

Magikarp is stupid, but from the perspective of biological evolution, it is very smart. After realizing that its own strength is not enough, Magikarp starts to walk down a path, which is to make itself unpalatable.

The law of the jungle also exists in the Pokémon world. However, in many cases, Pokémon would rather choose the meat of ordinary fish than touch the Magikarp, because if it is eaten raw, the Magikarp's specialized spiked dorsal fin will scratch the esophagus. Secondly, its body is covered with a layer of very hard scales, which is very difficult to break. Even if this layer of armor is broken, when eating its meat, you still have to be careful not to get your throat stuck by those tiny intramuscular spines.

Intermuscular spines, as ossified connective tissue between muscle diaphragms, can provide Magikarp with muscle support and a large amount of kinetic energy. As long as there is enough food, he can continuously use this to strengthen the hardness of his scales and athletic ability, instead of just piling up his body like ordinary carp.

It is said that older Magikarp can even jump from one end of a mountain to the other.

However, no matter how strong its body is, it cannot be reflected in the power of its moves, and its weak combat strength makes this Pokémon almost completely unwelcome.

Even if there is, it is to evolve Magikarp into Gyarados to pursue the dream of turning things around.

Based on various factors and his own experience in his previous life, Jiang Cheng summarized various conditions. The Magikarp needs a relatively large space to satisfy its strong desire for exercise. The area of ​​the pond is not small and can be expanded later.

It is best to create some shelter underwater, such as large rocks and aquatic plants, to provide psychological security for these weak fish.

Finally, you can put some tree roots to imitate the underwater conditions of the mangrove waters to simulate the hydrological environment of the freshwater waters in the Alola region, making Magikarp more comfortable.

Secondly, it is also a highly social creature. Similar to the elephantnose fish, the Magikarp will pursue social interaction and communication while requiring a personal space, so Jiang Cheng has to find a few companions for it.

One good thing about Pokémon is that you don't have to have a companion of the same species; other water-type Pokémon can also be used as companions.

The abundant aquatic plants and plenty of shelter underwater can also meet the living needs of the crayfish and lobster soldiers. At the same time, a few jewel starfish and corals can be placed to embellish the underwater scene, making it more beautiful and ecological.

But in that case, the small pond would have to be expanded. That was a piece of cake for Jiang Cheng, as he had a map editor and could just dig!

Although those two old men are not good people, this hot spring center covers a large area. In addition to the hot spring center, there is also a small courtyard, which is enough for Jiang Cheng to do DIY.

When the compensation comes in, I will go see if there are any aquatic plants or corals for sale.

After checking the information, Jiang Cheng stretched lazily, got up from the table and looked at the time.

"Oh my god, it's already past six o'clock, hurry up and cook!" Jiang Cheng hurried into the kitchen.

.... "Oh, I'm so stupid!" After a while, Jiang Cheng ran out of the kitchen, knocking his head, "I forgot to give the prize to our great hero today, General Zhen Yifa!"

Jiang Cheng quickly took out the big strawberry cake from the box and called Gastly and Magikarp together: "This is to celebrate the completion of the renovation of our hot spring hall. At the same time, it is also to congratulate our sister with flutter hair for leading me to a great victory in the first battle! Everyone applaud!!!"

Jiang Cheng was the first to quack

"ghost----"

".o0O"

The two Pokémon fought back fiercely, but it was difficult to flap their wings.

"Then this cake is naturally the prize given by Zhenyi."

Upon hearing the news, Gastly, who was originally looking forward to the strawberry cake, looked annoyed and asked, "Why did you call me over if you don't want me to eat it?"

"Of course, I have prepared it for you too." Jiang Cheng took out two small cakes as if by magic.

"That cake was earned by Flutterhair with her own ability, so of course it's hers, but you are all my Pokémon, I'll buy it for you if you want to eat it. I don't really like this, so I'll give it all to you."

"ghost!!"

".o0O"

The two Pokémon were visibly happy. Jiang Cheng smiled with satisfaction and said, "Eat quickly. I'll go cook."

After working for a whole afternoon, my stomach is growling with hunger.

Gastly and Magikarp were showing off their cakes, while Flutterbear was looking at Jiang Cheng's back as he hurried away, seeming to be thinking about something.

Jiang Cheng planned to make himself some fried rice with egg. He cooked a pot yesterday and there was a lot left over, so he finished it all today.

Jiang Cheng seldom has the opportunity to cook for himself on weekdays, so his cooking skills are not very good. He can only cook a few dishes, and egg fried rice is one of his best specialties.

The rest include garlic lettuce, spicy stir-fried potato shreds, hot pot base noodles, and various instant noodles.

The main feature is convenience and speed.

First beat two eggs, add some salt, and beat into egg batter for later use.

Heat the pan, pour the oil into the pan to lubricate it, then pour the egg mixture into the pan, stir and fry quickly, sprinkle some diced ham and chopped green onions, stir-fry slightly, pour in the leftover rice from yesterday, stir-fry again and sprinkle some salt before serving. This is an introduction.

If you need protein, you have protein; if you need carbohydrates, you have carbohydrates; if you need meat, you have meat; as for vitamins, just eat some fruit after the meal and you’ll be all set!

Jiang Chengyuan calls it the ultimate survival meal.

Of course, there are undergraduates in his laboratory who are even more extreme. They just eat vegetables, eggs, and noodles, and some vitamin tablets. That's it.

He took a big mouthful of egg fried rice, and the familiar taste brought him back to the old days. At that time... forget it, what was there to miss about those poor days.

Jiang Cheng was eating happily, but suddenly he felt something extra beside him. He turned around and saw Zhen Yifa placing the half-eaten strawberry cake on Jiang Cheng's table.

"Send it!"

Seeing Jiang Cheng's gaze turning towards him, Zhen Yifa pushed the cake in front of him towards him.

The flapping wings were born in the middle layer of Zone Zero, which is a place full of competition.

The past, present and future, three different paradoxes of time and space are intertwined. The scarce resources force them to fight each other for survival space.

The deeper you go, the more complex the environment of Area Zero becomes. Pokémon that can live normally here must have some unique skills of their own.

In this environment, the Winged Hair tribe is at the top of the food chain.

However, no one is born strong, and every flap of wings is the result of experience in brutal fighting.

In such an environment, her birth seemed like a mistake.

Because her fur color is different from other flutter hairs.

The unique fur color means it is more conspicuous, and being conspicuous means an extremely low hunting success rate and an extremely high rate of being attacked.

Being unique will either be revered or be hated, and hostility is often much easier than reverence.

Her parents couldn't help her because they had no news since Zhenyifa was born. Zhenyifa could only rely on herself. She fought with people of her own age almost every day. In addition to her peers, there were also other enemies from outside.

Faced with those unreasonable sieges, all she could do was to run away, dodge, hide, and then wait for the opportunity to retaliate.

She had just completed a revenge and thought she would have to live like this forever until a voice appeared in her mind.

It asked herself if she wanted to change. Of course she wanted to change, but she just nodded and came to a completely unfamiliar place with a strange two-legged beast in front of her.

He brought him food and helped him heal his wounds, which was something Zhen Yifa had never experienced since he was born.

Food can actually be shared, and wounds no longer have to be hidden in the cracks of caves, waiting for them to heal naturally.

Looking at this fellow in front of him who was obviously not small in size but extremely weak, Zhen Yifa decided to take him in as his younger brother.

This little brother is very good. His body is very warm. Sleeping on him is much more comfortable than sleeping in the cave in Area Zero. He is also very sensible. He knows to give delicious food to the leader first.

Today was the first time they fought side by side.

He knows himself, his speed, what he can do, and which moves can quickly finish off the enemy. As he said, he is better at using his brain.

Although it was just an ordinary small victory, he took it very seriously, commemorated it, and even bought a delicious strawberry cake.

Zhen Yifa suddenly felt a very strange thing called companionship. If he had not agreed to that voice at the beginning, he would probably never have felt this.

You will never know that food can be shared and partners can be trusted.

Looking at the smile on his younger brother's face, Zhen Yifa suddenly felt that victory was actually a joyful thing.

It felt so good to be a winner, and she didn't want to lose this feeling.

She won't lose to anyone.

"For me?" Jiang Cheng looked at the strawberry cake in front of him and pointed at himself with some surprise. His expression seemed as if he had heard that he would be the next one to fight Sukuna.

Zhenyifa nodded slightly: "Yes."

"Do you want to share the joy of victory with me?"

Jiang Cheng took the cake happily, scooped out a piece with a spoon and put it into his mouth: "Hmm, it's delicious." But eating egg fried rice with cake was a bit weird and greasy. Jiang Cheng quickly drank some water to rinse his mouth.

No matter what, we must give positive feedback to children's kindness.

Seeing that Jiang Cheng was enjoying his meal, Zhen Yifa made an expression that said, "As expected."

Humph, you liar. You said you don’t like it, but look at you, you eat it without saying a word!

Nothing can be hidden from the eyes of Master Zhenyifa!

........

After dinner, Jiang Cheng washed the dishes and slumped in a chair looking at the ceiling. Part of the ceiling on the second floor had been replaced by the construction team. The main reason was that the previous damage caused water leakage when it rained, resulting in moisture. Many of the wooden floors on the second floor had expanded and deformed.

On the contrary, the first floor, which was the worst hit by water, was still intact, which surprised the engineers. Jiang Cheng could only explain that he had already carried out an internal renovation.

The system is very easy to use. It's neither traditional like Dian Niang, who believes that hard work pays off, nor reformist like Lu Zi, who believes that Jotaro is possessed. It's very practical and not very stressful.

However, after such a long time in obtaining the system, we have only received two guests at most, if we exclude the Dragon Messiah that was used for novice training, there was only one Galagala.

Among the countless users of the cheat code, Jiang Cheng can be considered as one of the most pretentious ones. I have never seen him use it, and he hasn't completed the novice mission in more than 20 chapters. He is a real lazy guy.

But there is no way. Before I traveled through time, I was a cow or a horse. After I traveled through time, I am still a cow or a horse. Then wouldn’t it be a waste for me to travel through time?

Having said that, Jiang Cheng still plans to make a good effort and complete the novice tasks well. By then, maybe he can unlock more types of furniture.

My own hot spring spa is still waiting to open!

Chapter 27: Can a novice mission also get stuck?

Considering that Gastly had performed a good job in serving customers before, Jiang Cheng decided to let Gastly continue to work.

As for the cold service attitude of Gastly, the store clerk, Jiang Cheng's comment was that you'd better pray that a ghost is cold to you.

Besides, this is a hot spring spa, and people basically come here to take a bath and relax. It's not Haidilao or Pang Donglai. Why are your service staff so enthusiastic?

In a place like this, a sense of boundaries is the most important thing, otherwise people will mistakenly think you have some special fetish.

However, surprisingly, after opening for half a day, there was not a single customer. Jiang Cheng almost fell asleep with the system running.
