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

What's more, when you eat alone, others will more or less look at you. After being used to a hard life, eating alone is too expensive and always makes you uncomfortable.

Now that I have lived a second life, even though I have no cooking skills, I have Pokémon and familiar friends, so naturally I want to have more good meals together.

Comfort yourself for your hard work, celebrate yourself for living another day, and be grateful for another ordinary day, these are all reasons to have a good meal. In any case, at the end of the day, it is really a comfortable thing to have a meal with a friend who you can talk to without any burden.

"Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you something!" Liliae suddenly remembered during the meal.

"Yesterday, Miss Sirona, the champion of Sinnoh, came to see you, along with a lady with a small child. Because you were not there, I told them to wait for two days..."

"Sinnoh Champion...Ms. Sirona?" Jiang Cheng slowly repeated what he heard and confirmed it with Liliae.

"Yes, I didn't expect that you, Jiang Cheng, actually know such a powerful person. I was shocked when I saw her. In fact, I also admire Miss Sirona! I also want to be a strong, independent and charming woman like that..."

Jiang Cheng shuddered when he heard the words "independent woman", but then he remembered that it was Liliae who said this, so he quickly put his mind at ease and started thinking about more important things.

That is the Sinnoh champion Sirona, why is she looking for me?

If it were in the past, Jiang Cheng would have been very excited to hear Zhulan's name, but now, he only felt a lot of pressure.

I shouldn't have done anything that would attract the attention of this champion lady, right?

Jiang Cheng looked at Zhenyifa and Erguiyan. The two little guys were concentrating on fighting with the food in front of them.

Could it be that he was after the new Pokémon? Now that Uruk-Yor has not been included in the Alliance Atlas, there is only one Flutterhair in the open, and Flutterhair is just an ordinary Pokémon, so why would it attract the attention of the Profound Champion?

unless.......

"Boni?" Ergui felt Jiang Cheng's gaze and looked over curiously.

"It's okay. Is it delicious, Erguiyan?"

"Boni!" Delicious!

Jiang Cheng smiled gently and watched the little guy continue to eat.

Unless... the other party has found out something about Er Guiyan's affairs.

I was wearing a Team Rocket vest at the beginning, how could I be found out? Isn't it said that Sirona is good at fighting? How can she be so good at investigating cases? Isn't this person a lazy person?

Jiang Cheng was a complete layman when it came to investigating cases. He couldn't figure out where he had gone wrong, and he also overlooked the fact that the esoteric champion, Miss Sirona, was a mythology scholar.

In other words, as game players, most of the personal labels for Shirona are esoteric champions, and her identity as a myth scholar is often overlooked.

In this world, mythologists mostly do archaeological work, and archaeology, like investigating a case, requires unraveling fragments of information, slowly restoring the original appearance of events and stories, and finding the traces of the mythical beasts recorded in mythology.

Shirona is good at finding mythical beasts, and she is also good at finding people.

But since the person has come to you, there is no point in dwelling on past omissions. The key now is how to respond afterwards.

According to Lillie's story, the other party was quite polite when he came to her house, and after learning that she was not there, he just said that he would contact her when he came back and asked her to wait for a few days. This shows that the situation was not serious, otherwise, the person Lillie was talking about might have been Team Rocket.

This way, there is room for maneuver.

"I would like to meet Miss Sirona, but I know her, but she doesn't recognize me. By the way, Lilia, did Miss Champion tell me where she is?"

"No..." Liliae looked up and shook her head after recalling for a while: "She just said that it was really an unfortunate coincidence. When you come back, Jiang Cheng, contact her through the number. She just happened to be planning to look up the myths of Alola these two days."

"But I think if I want to look up mythological stories, it will most likely be in the library. Do you want me to contact you now?"

“No, not yet.”

Jiang Cheng quickly refused: "Even if you are Miss Champion, you should have a good rest after traveling so long. Besides, it is getting late now. If we contact you, we will just disturb you. Why not talk about it tomorrow morning?"

Lilia nodded in agreement.

Everything in Alola moves at a slow pace. The materials here are abundant, and people live casually without any sense of urgency. They are also casual in doing things. If they can be done during the day, they will not do it at night. If they can avoid working overtime, they will not work overtime. They believe that there is always a tomorrow for everything. What Jiang Cheng said is very reasonable for Liliae, who grew up in Alola.

In fact, Jiang Cheng was buying time for himself.

Although it seemed that the Girona champion had no intention of seeking revenge, a man without long-term plans will inevitably have immediate worries, or in other words, he was afraid of ghosts knocking on his door because he had done something wrong.

I have to find a way to clean up my mess, but I don't know how much information the other party has, so I can only slowly fill in the gaps.

Chapter 176: The First Snack

"By the way, you said there was a mother and son looking for me. What did they want to do with me? Did they tell you?"

The matter of Sirona can be delayed for now, and if the other party starts studying the mythology of Alola, it will probably take a while for them to be busy. The longer it can be delayed, the better!

What made Jiang Cheng curious was that besides Shirona, there was actually someone else looking for him?

"Ah... yes, it was a stern-looking older sister. She seemed to be saying something... Doctor, it was Doctor Kukui who came with her. She said she had something very important to talk to you about."

Doctor? With Doctor Kukui?

Jiang Cheng's face looked a little strange. No, didn't Dr. Kukui just have some progress with Dr. Barnett? Why is he acting like a thief again? Can he ever get well?

Doctor...Doctor...The word Doctor carries a lot of weight in the Pokémon world.

A PhD basically represents the highest academic level in a region.

In the Pokémon world, people who can be called doctors are not like Jiang Cheng in his previous life, who only have certain scientific research achievements and have written a few papers. Basically, they must have their own coordinated research topics and have achieved certain results before they can be given the title of doctor. Strictly speaking, they are more like the academicians in Jiang Cheng's previous life.

Speaking of this, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but feel a little numb.

A regional doctor and a regional champion, two heavyweights serving me alone, how could I miss such a blessing?

No, why? In my life, I have always been law-abiding, but at least I have behaved properly. How could I have deserved these two people to come to my door?

"Since he is someone that Dr. Kukui knows, we must hurry up and meet him."

Scratching his head, Jiang Cheng felt quite distressed. The pleasant mood after the rain disappeared in an instant. He could only be thankful that he had been lazy first, otherwise he would not even have that half day of leisure.

In any case, Dr. Kukui has helped me a lot, and I must meet the people he brought here.

After dinner, Jiang Cheng thought about the possible mistakes he had made these days. He thought that he was using the Land Shark at the time, and the local villagers might have seen the flapping hair. It was strange that such a backward place could actually invite Shirona? ?

Tomorrow’s worries will be tomorrow’s concerns. Now that things have come to this, let’s take a look at the new features we have unlocked.

While washing dishes after dinner, Jiang Cheng began to check out the new feature he had unlocked - snacks in the restaurant.

The snack function in the hall is not a particularly big update, but the open kitchen of the hot spring hall has been further upgraded. Based on the original counter, Jiang Cheng’s cooking utensils have been transformed into system facilities.

Sure enough, this main character is a stingy person who won’t spend a penny more. He also wants my style to be a little more stingy. It’s my golden finger, and it’s his taste.

We have basically looked at the functions before. You can use it to cook, but you have to try it out to know how to do it specifically.

The snack that the system automatically unlocks is called Unagi-yaki. Jiang Cheng bought a few portions of Mama Eel King meat before he came (purely natural drop, this novel guarantees that no Mama Eel King was harmed in this cooking, Mama Eel King fans please don't rush me)

To make unagi, you need a grill. Different snacks have corresponding cooking utensils. Currently, Jiang Cheng only has two sets of cooking utensils, and unlocking them later will cost meow coins.

Haha, this system is really, I really want to hang you on the street light!

You buy my cookware, but you buy the whole set, but he only buys one, and then you have to pay to unlock the subsequent functions. I really...

Forget it, stay calm, stay calm. I won’t get angry if others get angry. If I get sick from anger, no one can replace me. I have finally regained my life, so I must take good care of my health.

Unagi grilled is not difficult to make. You just need to cut the eel meat into thin slices, brush it with oil and sauce, and then put it on the grill and bake it. It only tests your knife skills and the control of the heat. It is a very suitable snack for beginners.

The only difficulty is how to cut the eel meat into thin slices of the same size.

But come on, what era is it, and why are you still using traditional cooking methods? Jiang Cheng just gave him technology!

"Rotom cooking machine! Give him a full job!" Jiang Cheng snapped his fingers, summoned the Rotom illustrated manual, and transformed himself into a kitchen cooking machine.

"Fuck, go!" Rotom entered the cooking machine, grabbed the eel meat, and refined it in an instant!

Soon, the eel meat was cut into thin slices of even size.

Jiang Cheng gently picked up a piece in his hand. It was of even thickness and moderate length, just right. When his fingers touched the piece of meat, he felt a faint numbing sensation. It must be the effect of the electric current.

The discharge principle of the Ma Ma King Eel is similar to that of the electric eel. Both generate bioelectric energy through muscles. What is more convenient than the electric eel is that the Ma Ma King Eel has a discharge organ, which is its teeth.

In the wild, the king eel will use its hands and the suction cup-like structure in its mouth to control its prey, and then use its teeth to discharge electricity. Compared with the electric eel's purely external discharge, the electrical energy conduction efficiency is higher and the loss is smaller.

Of course, it is also because the Pokémon in the Pokémon world are all physically strong and have strong resistance to electricity. It is not certain that they can be caught if they are discharged purely outside the body.

Pokémon meat also carries the magical properties of Pokémon, just like this piece of Ma Ma King Eel meat, which has electric current flowing on it.

If this were to appear in a food animation series, it would have to be at least an A-grade ingredient, and the dishes made with such ingredients would surely have a different effect.

Jiang Cheng lit the grill, brushed oil and sauce on the king eel, and started grilling.

As time slowly passed, the eel meat began to twist and deform under the influence of the flames, changing from pink to light brown, and waves of unique eel meat aroma began to spread.

Since Jiang Cheng had put the eel meat into the system warehouse less than half an hour after buying it, it was still very fresh and had no fishy smell at all.

There is not much technical content in making unagi, and soon two servings of unagi were ready.

After it was done, the system popped up a notification [Congratulations on making: Ma Ma Eel Grilled]

[Mama Unagi: Meat skewers made from the meat dropped by the Mama King Eel. You can almost feel the electricity flowing in your mouth.]

[Effect of consumption: Increases the power/resistance of electric moves to a small extent (permanent)]

[Congratulations, you have successfully made your first snack! Reward: Meow Meow Coin x15]

[Should we replace Unagi-yaki with: Mama Unagi-yaki? ]

Chapter 177: Human Troubles

It really works!

Looking at the words in the prompt, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but get excited.

My previous guess was correct. If Pokémon-related products are made into snacks for DIY, snacks with special effects can be made, thus achieving various magical effects.

In this way, this hot spring center, on top of its originally unscientific foundation, has added a lot of fantasy.

Maybe we can even put up a sign that can have a certain effect on the cultivation of Pokémon to attract customers?

Forget it, let's put all that aside for now, I should get some sleep first, and conserve my energy for tomorrow's meeting...

I just don’t know what exactly will happen tomorrow.

Returning to his big bed, Jiang Cheng slowly fell asleep.

In the dream, he was captured by Sirona and exiled, and eventually joined Team Rocket, and became a partner with Nancy, and lived a happy life from then on...

Damn, what a horrible dream!

Jiang Cheng woke up from his bed with a start. He actually dreamed of being with Nazhi. This was too horrible. This was the originator of the landmine girl. If she was unhappy, she would turn you into a doll and you would be with her forever. How could I have such a dream?

After comforting the two little ones who were awakened by his excessive movements, Jiang Cheng washed up and prepared to get up.

"Oh!! You're back so soon. I thought you would stay there for two more days!" Professor Kukui's energetic face almost filled the small screen on the belly of the Rotom Encyclopedia.

“Yes, because things went smoothly, I came back directly.”

Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "By the way, Dr. Kukui, I heard that someone came to see me during my absence, right?"

"Oh, yes, that's right." Dr. Kukui nodded. "It was Dr. Futu and Dr. Olin from the Padilla region who came to you and said they have something very important to discuss with you."

"Dr. Olin and Dr. Futu from the Padia region?" It turns out that it's not one person, but two people?

Jiang Cheng was stunned. To him, these two people couldn't be said to be as close as family. At least they were completely unfamiliar to him.

In Jiang Cheng's impression, these two seemed to be, probably, perhaps, noble doctors. The fact that they were from the Parthian region also explained their identities.

But, Jiang Cheng has never played Zhu Zi!

Oh no, now the time traveler’s first-mover advantage is gone.

Jiang Cheng had no idea what these two people did, what they were researching, what their personalities were like, and what happened in the Parthia region.

The pure unknown makes people uneasy, although Jiang Chengdu doesn't know what he is uneasy about.

Perhaps it was because of the mysterious type of the Flutter Hair and its unreasonable strength. Could it be that the Flutter Hair was also involved in various ways in the local area, and the two doctors came to look for its traces?

If the other party comes to flap his wings and send it back, how should I respond?

It would be better to say that there is no need to think about how to deal with it. It is 100% impossible to agree to it. Zhen Yifa has now become an indispensable and important part of Jiang Cheng's family. How could he give him up to someone else for some stupid reason?

"Don't worry." Seeing the change in Jiang Cheng's mood, Dr. Kukui comforted him: "Although the other party seems very anxious, I don't think it will be a bad thing. Just keep a calm mind."

After hearing what Dr. Kukui said, Jiang Cheng calmed down a little and nodded slowly.
