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

Magikarp blew a bubble in the water, and his expression looked like that of Eternal Hatchling Taffy.

Jiang Cheng threw some Pokémon feed to Magikarp, and it was quickly eaten by the other party. Don’t ask why he didn’t give tree fruits. The landlord didn’t have any surplus food!

The company is in trouble, let the employees suffer first, and then make it up to them later!

Jiang Cheng did not plan to open for business today. He was exhausted from fishing for the whole afternoon. After making a simple meal, Jiang Cheng made small beds for Flutter and Gengar, turned over, lay down on the bed and fell asleep. He was really exhausted today.

Don't think that fishing is not tiring. For someone like Jiang Cheng, the continuous wrestling and confrontation with the fish is very exhausting. Jiang Cheng just felt his arms were sore.

In the middle of the night, Jiang Cheng suddenly woke up with a heavy feeling in his chest. He saw that Zhen Yifa, who was supposed to be sleeping in his little bed, was still sleeping on his chest for some reason, breathing evenly and sleeping soundly.

Hmm? Didn't I buy a crib? It's all installed. Did I forget to remind him? It seems so.

While thinking this, Jiang Cheng suddenly saw Zhen Yifa covered with the blanket he had just bought, and Miss Qun'er was still smiling at Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng suddenly smiled with relief, everything made sense. It was not because he did not remind her, but because Zhen Yifa just wanted to sleep on him.

Jiang Cheng adjusted his position carefully and lay back down. He did not try to wake up Zhen Yifa, but chose to indulge him silently. Some people might say that what he did was not good, but he did not intend to change.

Thanks to Zhen Yifa, my chest now feels warm.

......

"Hello, it's me. Hello, hello. I have time. Yes, yes, it's the address I left. OK, OK, I'll wait for you here. OK, OK..."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Cheng jumped up on the bed excitedly.

Today he was awakened by the ringing of the phone. He picked up the phone with a dazed voice, but what he got was a piece of news that made him extremely excited.

"Zhen Yifa, our compensation is coming, and the decoration team is coming too!" Jiang Cheng was as happy as a corrupt official who had waited for disaster relief grain from the imperial court.

Putting aside the compensation, Jiang Cheng is determined to take advantage of the decoration team.

You see, you came all the way here, and it's been a long time since the previous accident. Was the damage to the hot spring only to the roof? Was there any structural damage? You need to measure it, right?

The second floor needs to be reinforced, right? The entire ceiling needs to be overhauled, right?

The government is paying the money, if you don't take advantage of it right now, wouldn't that be stupid of you?

Although Zhen Yifa didn't know what the little brother in front of him was so happy about, seeing how excited he was, he still shouted in cooperation.

"Send it!"

After cleaning up the hot spring center a bit, there was actually not much to clean up, Jiang Cheng brought Zhen Yifa to the outside of the hot spring center and waited for the construction team to arrive.

Almost not long after, Jiang Cheng saw a convoy of cars arriving. Several middle-aged men wearing helmets and several government workers in suits came to the door of Jiang Cheng's hot spring hotel.

"Hello, Director Jiang, we are staff from the Urban Management Office of Maliejing City. Today we are here to discuss with you matters concerning accident compensation and building repairs." The word "professional" was written on the person's face as soon as he came in.

"Hello, I'm the director of the hot springs, Jiang Cheng. Um... shall we go in first?"

Jiang Cheng stepped aside to let everyone go into the house first. The group nodded, excused themselves for disturbing them, and walked towards the inside of the hot spring hall. However, when passing by Jiang Cheng and looking at Zhen Yifa who was standing beside Jiang Cheng, the staff member of the Urban Management Office looked at Zhen Yifa curiously.

The form of the Pokémon in front of him is very strange. Perhaps others will mistake it for a leprechaun, but he won't. Although the form of the Pokémon in front of him is somewhat similar to a leprechaun, the difference is also huge. In terms of size alone, the Pokémon with Flutter Hair is much more oppressive than the small leprechaun.

But we have done research before and found that the only evolved form of the Dream Demon is the Dream Demon. Could it be that this is a special evolved form that has never been discovered before?

"What is this Pokémon.....?" If you don't understand, just ask. This is the ninja way of our Pokémon!

"Her name is Flutterhair. She is a Pokémon I met from outside and came to Alola with me," Jiang Cheng replied conditionally.

Are you from another area...? I can tell Dr. Kukui later and ask him to come and take a look.

The staff member nodded, said nothing more, and entered the hot spring hall.

Zhen Yifa didn't like so many people coming to her territory, which made her a little irritable. Jiang Cheng also quickly comforted her: "It's okay, Zhen Yifa, they are here to give us money."

"Let's not go into the house. Let's go and inspect the damaged area first. Besides, we don't know the details of the accident at that time, and we don't know the extent of the damage. It would be bad if there was any structural damage to the hot spring hall. The second floor also needs to be reinforced. Whether the roof needs to be overhauled depends on the specific situation." The uncle with the safety helmet refused Jiang Cheng's hospitality and waved to a few guys to come in. He released his Pokémon to conduct a comprehensive investigation of the hot spring hall. The arrangements he made smooth the way for Jiang Cheng to get benefits from the money.

At this moment, Jiang Chengcai felt that his previous arrangements seemed to be completely unnecessary. He had been too clever and calculated everything, but he did not expect that others had thought of everything for him and maximized the benefits.

This is the Pokémon resident, who has always treated others with the greatest kindness. Even the ideal in the hearts of those villains is to create a utopian world.

Jiang Cheng scratched his head and said, haha, now I’m a clown.

Chapter 19: Maintenance Preparation

Since others came to help him with the work, Jiang Cheng felt embarrassed to just sit there and wait, so he took the initiative to lead a group of people to the damaged area to find out the situation.

"This is it. The damage is quite large. I covered it with a tarp. Otherwise, my house will be flooded after the next rain."

Jiang Cheng introduced the damaged parts of the roof to everyone in the construction team. Fortunately, it had been sunny and windy for the past two days, otherwise it would have rained heavily above and drizzled in the attic, the stairs would have turned into a waterfall, and the first floor would have become a puddle.

"Uncle in charge, do you think this is complicated? Do you need me to move out temporarily?"

"Ah, just call me Rooney." The person in charge looked at the big hole and nodded: "This problem doesn't look big, it should be fixed soon, but we still need to conduct a detailed detection."

As he said this, Uncle Rooney said to one of the members: "You come and do a comprehensive investigation."

"it is good"

At this moment, Jiang Cheng noticed that Uncle Rooney was wearing a white helmet, while this young man was wearing a yellow one.

White represents supervision and yellow represents construction, which is the default rule for civil engineers.

"Come out, Gulp"

Following a burst of white light, a Pokémon with a crimson blue body, purple wing membranes, two pointed ears and small eyes, and almost its entire body occupied by a huge mouth appeared in front of everyone.

"brake--"

Golbat, a poison and flying Pokémon, looks somewhat humorous, but in fact this period is considered an awkward period in the evolution of this Pokémon. When Golbat evolves into Xbat, its appearance is extremely handsome.

The racial value of 535 is not small, but the moveset is average. However, Jiang Cheng still made one specifically for it back then. He didn't do any other reason, as he doesn't play PVP, so it just needs to look cool!

Several staff members placed an instrument on the ground and said to Zubat, "Please, Zubat, use sound waves to detect this building."

"brake--"

The guy who heard the mouth bat's cry had a bitter look on his face: "Okay, okay, I know, I'll let you drink well later, okay? Now just work hard."

“Shasha!”

Zubat showed a contented smile.

Jiang Cheng found it very interesting. In Jiang Cheng's previous life, humans and pets would communicate after spending a long time together. Although the two sides did not speak the same language, they could feel what the other wanted to say through spending a long time together, whether the other was hungry, wanted to play together, wanted a hug, or wanted to remind themselves to turn off the washing machine.

Gifted humans can interpret more information, although it is possible that this information is more of their wishful thinking.

Pokémon has greatly shortened the time it takes to develop tacit understanding. The process of communication between humans and Pokémon is like that of two foreigners who do not speak the same language. And it is only the human language that is not understood. Pokémon is fully capable of understanding what humans are saying. As mentioned before, they have extremely high intelligence.

As creations of Arceus, there is a saying that humans are also a type of Pokémon, belonging to the four-series players of general fighting, psychic and ghost. This statement has been agreed by many people. One of the main arguments comes from the Pokémon's incredible physical fitness and various unreasonable abilities.

All I can say is that a race that can survive in this world full of monsters and demons and still gain ecological dominance has something of its own.

After finishing the bargaining with the construction guy, Zubat started to work. Sound waves began to spit out from its huge black mouth, slowly covering the entire hot spring center.

Soon, the overall structure diagram of the hot spring center began to appear on the instruments of several construction guys, which was extremely convenient.

What era is it now? Are you still doing traditional surveying and mapping?

Several people studied the three-dimensional hot spring structure diagram for a while and soon came to a conclusion: "The ceiling area is the main area that needs to be repaired. However, due to the impact, the main columns here, here, and here have all had certain structural deviations and should be re-reinforced. There are basically no major problems in other places, and the first floor of the building is unexpectedly very solid, which is also good news."

Of course Jiang Cheng knew why the first floor of the building was so solid, because it was all thanks to the system. By the way, if he finished repairing the second floor and the attic now, would it have any impact on the system?

After thinking about it, I decided not to continue speculating. I would know how to repair it once it is done. Besides, I haven't even completed the first stage, which is a simple novice task of welcoming ten guests. What's the point of using a bicycle?

After completing the initial survey, the next step is to dismantle the problematic columns and building parts. Generally speaking, this step requires tools, but here, it doesn't have to be so troublesome.

"Iron-boned earthman, come out and stretch your body!" The construction guys sent another key man

“Iron Bones!!”

With a strong cry, a Pokémon with grayish-yellow skin and holding an I-beam walked out of the Poké Ball. It had a head that was raised like fluffy hair, a round and big red nose, and a thin waist. Its shoulders, neck, and legs were all wrapped in pink muscles.

It is Ironbone Earthman, the evolved form of the Porter, a Fighting-type Muscle Pokémon, a pure Oliva with an inverted triangle body, and a hobby of showing off muscles with his friends after working out. He should have shined in the gym, but he is a natural civil engineering saint. With a steel bar in his hand, he is particularly experienced in demolition and can demolish houses extremely quickly.

These workers were obviously well prepared. They released four iron-boned earthmen in succession to take charge of the demolition of the problematic part of the hot spring hall.

Don’t ask why not five, because five won’t work, the hot spring center will be demolished.

"Everyone, please wait a moment."

Seeing that several people were about to start, Jiang Cheng quickly stopped them: "I still have Pokémon in there, wait a moment, I will take them out and you can take them apart later."

After saying this, Jiang Cheng hurriedly ran into his room, took out two Poké Balls, and went straight to the healing room. Sure enough, Gastly was lazing around in there, sleeping like a yam.

"Garsis, we're going to renovate this place soon. You can sleep in the ball first. I'll put you back when it's done." Jiang Cheng woke up Gastly, explained the whole story, and handed over the Poké Ball. Gastly was also very easy to talk to. He touched the switch of the Poké Ball with his forehead and turned into a red light and entered the interior of the Poké Ball.

"I recaptured Gastly!!!"

Jiang Cheng struck a pose, and then received 10,000 points of contempt from Zhen Yifa.

Why is my little brother like this so stupid?

Chapter 20: Compensation!

"Sorry Flutterhair, I'll make sure to give you a complete ceremony once I find a Poké Ball that's suitable for you!"

Jiang Cheng immediately began to slide down to his knees. Although his Pokémon Flutterfat looked like a big sister, she was actually a jealous person and attached great importance to these things. Jiang Cheng felt very uncomfortable because her first Pokémon was not her.

"Send it"

Even though I have already agreed in my heart that my younger brother wanted to give myself a Poké Ball that could better reflect my status, but putting the facts aside, isn't there anything wrong with you capturing other Pokémon first this time?

However, Zhen Yifa was only showing a little temper on the surface. He quickly softened under Jiang Cheng's sweet words and followed behind Jiang Cheng, watching him continue to conquer the Magikarp.

"Okay everyone, sorry sorry"

Jiang Cheng returned to the crowd panting and apologized repeatedly.

"Hahaha, no need to apologize. It's our fault that we were inconsiderate and didn't notice that there were Pokémon in your hot spring center." Several guys waved their hands and without saying anything else, began to direct the Ironbone Earthmen to demolish key areas.

These Pokémon with natural civil engineering skills are indeed experts in demolition. With the I-beams in their hands, the roof of the hot spring center was torn into pieces.

Jiang Cheng had a smile on his face. He demolished it, and demolished it hard. The more he demolished, the more he had to rebuild. He had already had some opinions about the architectural style of this old house, and now he was going to make some drastic changes!

"Mr. Rooney" Jiang Cheng went forward and found the person in charge, Rooney. As a long-term Party B, although he was not so good at communicating with Party A at that stage, after years of surfing, he still had a certain understanding and knew that a good Party A should put forward any requirements as early as possible, and the more detailed the better. Otherwise, when the other party has finished the work and says that it doesn't feel right, people will really want to kill someone.

"Is there any new situation?" Rooney was also very easy to talk to.

"It's like this. You may not know that I am from Donghuang. I have some personal ideas about the decoration of this hot spring hall. Of course, I won't create something that is incompatible with the overall atmosphere of Malie Jingshi. Would you like to take a look at my reference plan first?"

Jiang Cheng took out his mobile phone and showed Brother Rooney some photos of ancient buildings in the Donghuang area that he had previously searched for.

As an experienced architect with many years of experience, he only took a look at the reference drawings Jiang Cheng gave him and he roughly understood what kind of effect Jiang Cheng wanted. It might just be that he had to add more work content, but the client's requirements had to be met as much as possible. "No problem, your request is not difficult, it just takes more time. We have built Donghuang-style buildings before, so we have some understanding of it. Just leave it to us."

Jiang Cheng nodded. He didn't know much about architecture, so he could only give his own ideas about the style he wanted. The specific implementation still depended on others. To put it bluntly, he just changed a roof. In other words, the architectural style of Chengdu was basically derived from Donghuang, and they were basically consistent. If he really wanted to do pure Donghuang architecture, he would have to make money in the future and find someone to design and construct it, or do DIY in the system.

Of course, I still have to stare. Even though I know that this is the high-moral society of Pokémon, the muscle memory of being cheated by the renovation workers is still in my body.

Rooney acted quickly. Watching the Iron-Bone Earthmen continue with the demolition, he called over the guys in the yellow hats to work on the construction research together.

Jiang Cheng was finally released at this moment, and the staff of the Urban Management Office had been waiting for a long time.

"Master Jiang, let's discuss the issue of your compensation now."

Hearing the old man in the black suit calling himself Master Jiang in a serious manner, Jiang Cheng had a very strange feeling. The other party's way of addressing him made it sound as if he had opened some kind of gym. But there was no problem with that, as the owner of a hot spring center was also the owner!

So can the foot-rubbing technician trigger the characteristics of a skilled person?

"Of course, of course." Jiang Cheng smiled happily when he heard that they were going to talk about compensation. He had been looking forward to this day!

"It's like this. Based on your current situation and the impact on the business of the hot spring hall, and considering various factors, the amount that our city management office can get for you is currently as follows. If you have any opinions, you can also raise them and we can communicate and resolve them."

After taking the paper handed over by the other party, Jiang Cheng read it quickly and immediately locked onto the key information: the amount of compensation!

One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand... one million!!

Jiang Cheng looked up at the man in a suit in front of him with a look of surprise.

But he soon calmed down. It might seem like a lot, but this is a world where a bag of bread costs 850.

Although the exchange rate in the Pokémon world is relatively higher, it is basically calculated based on the exchange rate of the Japanese yen. Calculated in this way, the actual compensation is only 50,000 yuan. However, the compensation of 50,000 yuan including repairs is already far beyond Jiang Cheng's expectations!

This is undoubtedly a huge sum of money. Jiang Cheng tried hard to suppress his excitement: "I think it's okay."
