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

Dog system, you swallowed my reward, right?

The system started to play dead again, leaving Jiang Cheng helpless and furious.

Forget it, it’s just a free reward anyway, why get angry with a program?

Even without the system, wasn't Zhenyifa training hard every day to become stronger? Now that he had been given a free reward, it could only be said that Zhenyifa's already very strong strength had become even stronger.

I am lucky to have it, it is a good thing to have it.

Now I, Jiang Cheng, can finally say that my elves are as strong as they are today thanks to my own efforts. System! Give me some points!

"Flutter Hair, you did a great job, you look so handsome today!! You are my Superman!"

Zhen Yifa closed his eyes and raised his head slightly with pride. That’s right, after winning the battle, this moment is the most satisfying!

As Jiang Cheng spoke, he added one point each of the three effort points to life, special attack and speed. Jiang Cheng now had no pressure to survive, so he directly started the bucket training method, focusing on a balanced addition of points.

Adding 50 points is called a bucket number, adding 100 points is called balanced development, adding 1000 points is called a hexagonal super warrior!

My buddy’s Pokémon Album has already awakened the weapon spirit (Rotom), so what’s wrong with me awakening a Wind Spirit and a Moon Shadow?

[Consume 3 points of effort, and each attribute of your flutter hair will be slightly improved]

Zhen Yifa's originally smug expression suddenly paused. She opened her eyes in confusion and looked at her wings. Just now, she suddenly felt that something was different about herself. The feeling was very subtle and she couldn't tell what it was, but Zhen Yifa was very sure that she seemed to have become a little stronger.

"Did you feel it, Zhen Yifa?" Seeing Zhen Yifa's reaction, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but ask with a smile.

"Fa" Zhen Yifa looked straight at Jiang Cheng, the meaning in his eyes was very clear: You did it?

"This is my little secret." Jiang Cheng raised his index finger to his lips and said, "Please keep the wings a secret for me too! Don't let anyone outside know."

"Send it!" Leave it to me!

Outside the field, Liliae was watching Flutterhair, who was as ferocious as a demon on the field, but was now happily chatting with Jiang Cheng. Such a ferocious Pokémon, now had a smiling face, like a well-behaved baby.

Lilia seemed to have some realization. At this moment, her big package seemed to sense something and began to move again.

"Ah, little Xingyun, you can't come out yet!" She quickly covered her big bag, trying to calm the restless soul inside.

"You fought very well." Mamane went to the Pokémon Center to heal her Pokémon, and Kukui came to Jiang Cheng and nodded with satisfaction when he saw Jiang Cheng communicating with the Pokémon.

Unlike the previous match, where the direction of the battle was determined by meticulous tactics, this time Jiang Cheng used absolute force to crush the opponent. The gap in strength between the two sides was too great, and there was almost no suspense during the battle.

"Zhen Yifa is more powerful. I didn't really do much," Jiang Cheng nodded modestly. In this match, Zhen Yifa was basically dominating with her extremely high combat IQ. Her control over the distance of the opponent's moves and skills was terrifyingly accurate. Moreover, she would deliberately stop a little bit at the farthest end of the opponent's skills, or let the skills fly past her body, and only do the minimum evasion to minimize her physical strength loss.

"Hahaha, there's no need to underestimate yourself. Believing in your partners is also an important ability for a trainer. I've seen many trainers who, when facing a battle, get panicked and make wrong commands. The direction of the battle is unfavorable, and they become even more panicked. They don't trust themselves and their partners enough... You are very strong, Jiang Cheng, I believe in my judgment, and your battle even ignites my own fighting spirit," Dr. Kukui said seriously.

I thought that since I didn’t get to the bottom of it this time, should I change into the Royal Mask’s vest next time and have a fight with this kid?

"Hahaha, I don't think this is necessary... I'm still far behind you, Dr. Kukui," Jiang Cheng laughed dryly.

There are only two people in the Alola region who understand Pokémon. One is Guzma, a quality player, and the other is Dr. Kukui, who has the invincible Hellscream Tiger. People know their own business. Although Flutterfat looks like a god of war on the battlefield, the gap between him and the real champion is too big. Dr. Kukui's Pokémon are all above level 68. Didn't I just beat a captain? You, a champion, come up and beat me, a baby. Is this okay?

This is not good.

Jiang Cheng looked around, trying to change the subject, and soon saw Lilia struggling with her backpack. "By the way, I think it will take some time for Mamane to heal the elves, so why don't we take Lilia to buy some daily necessities? Girls always have a lot of inconveniences when they go out."

I also bought some strawberry cakes as a celebration of our moving into a new house and as a reward for Zhen Yifa's battle.

"Hahaha, okay!" Dr. Kukui smiled lightly, which was full of oppression. In addition to his fighting style that stimulated his opponent's psychology throughout the whole process, he was actually very thoughtful in life and very considerate of other people's feelings. He was really a contradictory little guy.

Or maybe being able to understand other people's feelings is also a weapon he can use in battle?

The world itself is dialectical, isn't it?

Chapter 75: The hot spring center is finally open!

"Buying things... Hey... Me?" When faced with Jiang Cheng's proposal, Liliae showed a look of surprise on her face.

"That's right. When you move to a new place, you always have to buy some daily necessities that you need. Although I have everything I need, I still need to buy some more clothes for changing." Jiang Cheng said it quite tactfully. After all, menstruation is a relatively private topic.

Regardless of whether there is or not, the main thing is that this girl has been wearing this white dress before, and she is still wearing this white dress now. She is not Ah Shuai, and her wardrobe is not full of identical white dresses. Based on the fact that she ran away from home, Jiang Cheng is more inclined to believe that she has no new clothes to wear.

Adding the two together, it’s better to buy a little bit and let people decide for themselves what to buy.

"But..." Liliae was still a little hesitant.

"It's okay. I'll advance the money for you first. You can pay me back after you get your assistant's salary."

These two sentences dispelled all of Liliae's worries, and she couldn't help but sigh: "Jiang Cheng... is really a very thoughtful person."

Hearing Lilia's sigh, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but laugh: "There's no such thing as empathy, it's just empathy. Living alone outside is not an easy thing. Let's go, we don't have much time, I have to open the business in a while."

Thinking about the fact that today is the opening day, isn’t it a bit unlucky for me to come out and fight with others?

Forget it, Jiang Cheng, don't believe in those feudal superstitious dregs! Be a materialist!

Looking at Jiang Cheng who was striding forward, Liliae was a little confused: "What does Jiang Cheng mean by... empathy?"

"This matter is a bit complicated... Let's go! This is also my mistake. I forgot the difficulties of a girl and had to rely on Jiang Cheng to remind her. Hahahaha, I am really not a good teacher."

Dr. Kukui touched the back of his head in shame. He was so busy that he actually forgot such an important thing.

"No... No, Dr. Kukui is a very, very good teacher! Please don't say that!" Liliae waved her hands in panic: "When I was desperate, it was Dr. Kukui who took me in. I never knew how to thank you."

"Hahaha, I didn't take you in just to ask for your gratitude, but...if you really want to thank me, why don't you help me take care of Jiang Cheng's child?"

"Hey? Jiang Cheng?" Lillie was a little confused by Professor Kukui's suggestion, because compared to herself, Jiang Cheng was much more mature. He got along well with Pokémon, ran such a large hot spring center by himself, and was also able to teach Mamane. Lillie rarely saw people of the same age as him.

Dr. Kukui actually said that such a person needs to be taken care of by himself?

Dr. Kukui's expression was full of emotion. It was hard to describe how he felt when he read Jiang Cheng's childhood experiences while looking up information. Just one word made him feel more uncomfortable than being hit by DD's golden hook arm. It was hard to imagine how someone who had experienced all that would feel: "Maturity is a price. Jiang Cheng's family background... is not good, or even very bad. The conflicts with his parents, the pressure from his brother, and the troubles you are experiencing now are a kind of happiness for him. I'm not in a position to say too much. Just treat it as a personal request from me, okay?"

"Okay...Okay, I'll try my best!" Although she still didn't quite understand, Liliae decided to fulfill the doctor's entrustment well!

But at the same time, she was also very curious about Jiang Cheng.

What kind of past did Jiang Cheng go through that made even Dr. Kukui keep it so secretive?

......

Contrary to Jiang Cheng's expectations, it took Liliae much less time to buy clothes and some daily necessities than he thought. When they returned to the hot spring center with large and small bags of things, many neighbors had already gathered at the door.

"Hey, the young inn owner is here. Where have you been? We thought we came on the wrong day. Hey, isn't this Dr. Kukui?"

When the neighbors saw Jiang Cheng coming back, they started to make fun of him.

They all heard the news that Jiang Cheng was going to open a business, and came to support Jiang Cheng's business. The nights in Alola are actually a little lonely. People here get off work at 4:30 on average, and after that, it's basically family time. There may be an occasional bonfire party to get everyone together for some fun, but weekdays are basically quiet.

Everyone pursues their own hobbies, grows flowers at home, breeds Pokémon, plays music, pursues other hobbies, and then goes to sleep.

After all, this is the quiet city of Malie. Every city has its own culture. Tranquility and peace are the main themes of the quiet city of Malie.

In this way, a hot spring center that can open at night and allow people to soak in the hot springs and relax becomes extremely precious to the night of the quiet city of Maglie.

"Sorry, sorry. I went out to buy some things and came back late. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."

Jiang Cheng clasped his hands together and apologized sincerely. After all, it was because of him that others had waited at the door for so long. These were his future breadwinners, and it was a favor for them to come and support him. After all, hot spring halls were not rare on Ula'ula Island, which had an active volcano.

"I'm sorry, it was because of me that the child went to the training ground to participate in the game, so he was late. I hope you don't mind." When Kukui saw that the child took on too much responsibility, he quickly spoke up to take the blame. He didn't want Jiang Cheng to be misunderstood as an unreliable child because of him, otherwise he would be guilty.

"So that's how it is, a battle between elves, so awesome..." The neighbors were talking about it.

"Why don't you explain yourself, kid?"

Jiang Cheng smiled and bowed: "We are open for business. No matter what, it is my fault for being late. As an apology, and also to celebrate my victory in the Elf Wings War, everyone will get a 30% discount on their purchases tonight!"

Jiang Cheng waved his hand generously, and the atmosphere on the scene instantly became warm. The negative emotions that had been waiting at the door had long since disappeared with the influence of the crowd.

Jiang Cheng might lose a little, but it was a business with no capital, so how much could he lose? He just wanted his wish to go smoothly!

Life is proud to be thoroughly enjoyed themselves!

Chapter 76: Various small problems in opening a business

As the sun sets in the west, dusk gradually envelopes the quiet city of Marie, dyeing the city with the color of the island god Tapu Moo.

The entrance of the hot spring center is very busy at the moment. In this so-called tourist city, but actually a small town called Maglie, a newly opened hot spring center is attractive enough to attract local people nearby to try it out.

At this time, you will be able to experience the Alola feature that cannot be seen in other regions - mount Pokémon.

The Alola region developed later than other places. There is basically no heavy industry here, and very little light industry. Daily necessities still need to be imported. So the question is, how did people travel before cars were invented?

The answer, of course, is to take a carriage. This is the case in the Alola region. The relatively backward technology has resulted in mutual support between the Alola people and Pokémon. Pokémon has become a part of the daily life of the people in this region.

The Ether Foundation located here develops technology based on this. Alola's biotechnology can be said to be the best in the entire alliance.

This is the best Dragonite sanctuary in the entire league. While it's hard to even see this kind of Pokémon in other areas, the people of Alola can ride on Dragonites to travel around. In Alola, there are a lot of mount Pokémon like Tanabata, Dragonite, and Garchomp.

Just like now, there is Charizard flying in the sky and Kentaro running on the ground. Jiang Cheng has to think a lot about how to deal with these Pokémon, because the Alola people don't like their Pokémon to stay in the ball.

This is why Pokémon are willing to work in Alola. They are not being enslaved. The Alola people truly do not view them as Pokémon, but as their partners and members of their family. Many of the younger generation even grew up under the care of their own Pokémon mounts.

I'm talking about you, Kachi.

After observing this, Jiang Cheng, who was a little anxious, said, why not let everyone bring their Pokémon in? We also have a pool specially for Pokémon to bathe in, but we may have to make them suffer and shrink their bodies.

Jiang Cheng's suggestion surprised the neighbors. There is actually a pool for Pokémon? I must let my friends try it.

This is only the case in Alola. In other areas, this business may not be possible. Although the phenomenon of Pokémon with poor fighting ability being abandoned is not very common, it is definitely not uncommon. It's not for nothing that a silly guy can pick up an abandoned Starter Pokémon in every area he goes to.

The uniqueness of the hot springs began to be recognized by the residents of Alola.

"You have such a big pond here, can you put water Pokémon in it? My Dragonite is very well behaved and will never make a fuss."

"Yes, ma'am, you can let it in. We can also provide Pokémon feeding service if you need it." Jiang Cheng dealt with the guests one by one at the door.

It is really not easy to open a business.

Looking at the dragons swimming leisurely in the swimming pool, Jiang Cheng scratched his head. How come this aquarium was turned into a parking lot?

In the corridor, many people had stopped in groups of three or four and leaned out to look at the Pokémon underwater. There were even children holding snacks and trying to feed them.

"Try not to feed them anything!" Jiang Cheng stepped forward to stop them: "They already have enough food every day. If they eat too many snacks, they will be picky about food and can't eat."

"Sorry..." the child apologized politely and stopped what he was doing.

It seems that we need to add a "Do Not Feed" sign here... This is another point that I didn't notice before.

When we entered the hot spring hall, a group of people had already gathered in front of the ice cream machine.

"Is this the Frost Milk Fairy?"

"It's really the Frost Milk Fairy!"

"Is this actually the ice cream made by the Frosty Fairy herself? I must try it!"

"The ice cream in this shop can actually give birth to a cream fairy. Give me one to try!"

“I want the original flavor!”

"I want ice cream!"

"Give me some strawberry flavor!"

Customers placed orders one after another, and Little Frost Fairy was busy all the time.

“Mama…!!”

"Frost Fairy, do you need help?" Jiang Cheng was afraid that the little guy would be tired, so he hurried forward to ask.

"Ma!" Frost Milk Fairy shook her head and refused Jiang Cheng's help, because she saw that every customer who ate the ice cream she handed out had a happy smile on his face.

Seeing Jiang Cheng coming, the customers also greeted him: "Hey, boss, your ice cream is so delicious!"

“It tastes ten times better than the ones sold on the ice cream truck outside!”

"I wouldn't dare to say that. Everyone has their own strengths." Jiang Cheng denied it hastily. Such words would cut off someone's financial resources and should not be said casually.

"But yours is much cheaper than his!"

"That's because everyone has already entered the hot springs. Didn't I make up for the cheaper part with the ticket price? They specialize in selling ice cream, so naturally they don't have the convenience that I have. It's normal for them to be a little more expensive."

"Hahaha, young inn owner, you are really good at talking..."

"It's amazing. It's the same cream and the same ingredients, but some people's food tastes better than others." Someone held the cone in his hand and shared his thoughts with his friends.

"That's right. Hey, I heard that you came from Donghuang. I heard that there are a lot of delicious foods there. Is that right?"

Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "There are indeed a lot of delicious food over there. You can basically not finish eating them all in a lifetime," even though the original owner and he had basically never eaten them.
