I opened an orphanage in the Pokémon world

After all, this Pikachu looks very friendly with Teng Shu.

"Teng Shu, I'll come to your orphanage to chat with you later. I have something else to do now~" Kojiro glanced at his phone and said to Teng Shu.

"It's okay, it's okay. Come at lunch time and I'll prepare lunch for you." Teng Shu didn't say anything. He thought that Kojiro could only come to Changqing City to meet Boss Sakaki, but he didn't need to say it out loud.

Although Kojiro is not a senior officer or cadre in the Rocket Team, his status in the Rocket Team is actually quite special. Teng Shu even suspects that the reason why Sakaki takes a laissez-faire attitude towards the Kojiro, Musashi and Meowth trio is because of the identities of Musashi and Kojiro.

After seeing off Kojiro, Teng Shu brought Pikachu to the vegetable market. Although Teng Shu arrived late today, there were still many familiar faces in the market.

"Hey, Teng Shu, would you like some of the big-can milk I produce today?" Not long after entering, Teng Shu saw an old acquaintance.

A middle-aged woman was sitting on a chair with a smile on her face. She didn't sell anything else at her stall except large buckets of packaged milk.

"Aunt Dali? Do you still have milk in your big milk can for sale?" Teng Shu asked Dali in front of him with some surprise.

As a chef, Teng Shu naturally knew what was going on in the vegetable market. He also knew that Dali, the girl in front of him, was a popular vendor in the market. Her large milk cans were all produced on her family's ranch. They were of high quality, tasted good, and were rich in nutrition, making them a very popular commodity.

Because he went out late today, Teng Shu thought he might not be able to buy it.

"Hey, it's because of the weather. It's been very cold these past two days and not many people come out to buy groceries." Dali smiled. Although she was complaining, there was no complaint in her tone, but rather a hint of casualness.

"Then..." Teng Shu looked at the big cans of milk in front of him.

If it were in the past, Teng Shu would naturally only be willing to buy one or two buckets to supplement the nutrition of the little ones. However, since he had the money sent by Akai, Teng Shu looked at the twenty buckets of milk in front of him and finally had the confidence to buy them all.

"Then I'll take them all!" Teng Shu finally decided to be generous.

"Huh? Okay, I'll send it to you then." Dali was also a little surprised, but she didn't ask Teng Shu if he had won the lottery or something, but responded with a smile.

But before leaving, Teng Shu asked Dali for three plastic bottles, filled three large cans of milk, and handed them to Pikachu.

The weather is getting colder, and it is more difficult for Pikachu to find food. Three large bottles of milk cans can make the Pikachu family's life much easier, and little Pichu can also survive this cold wave.

"Pika..." Pikachu held three large bottles of milk and looked at Teng Shu with tears in his eyes. Teng Shu rubbed Pikachu's little head.

He just noticed that when Pikachu jumped up, he was dirty and looked thinner than before. It was probably because food was so hard to find during this period.

With the help of Pikachu, Teng Shu finished purchasing the food this time. Before leaving, Teng Shu gave Pikachu some sweet potatoes and some tree fruits, and then sent Pikachu back to the grove.

Looking at Pikachu going back with his backpack, Teng Shu smiled. With so much food, Pikachu and his family should be able to survive easily, right?

Teng Shu looked up at the sky. It was covered with dark clouds and was very gloomy. Even though it was morning, it felt like it was not completely dark yet after sunset.

"The weather forecast says it might snow..." Teng Shu looked at the dark sky and frowned slightly. If it snowed, it would be troublesome. It seemed that he had to go back and see what facilities to upgrade. Teng Shu planned to see if the welfare home could be upgraded so that it would not be affected by the temperature. Otherwise, if it was too cold, the little ones might get sick.

Teng Shu hurried back to the welfare home, and moved the food brought by the vegetable vendors to the warehouse. Then he clicked on the welfare home's exchange list to take a look.

[Orphanage infrastructure upgrade lv1: The main building of the orphanage will become more suitable for Pokémon life]

[Welfare House Natural Environment Facility Upgrade Level 1: The natural environment in the welfare house is more realistic and more in line with the survival requirements of various Pokémon]

[Welfare Institute training area facility upgrade lv1: training area expanded, more equipment, improved training effect]

...

A series of upgrades popped up, and Teng Shu hesitated. He originally wanted to save them to upgrade the medical cabin, but the cost of upgrading the medical cabin was gradually increasing. Now it required two thousand happiness points to upgrade, and the next time it would probably be four thousand. One thousand was really a drop in the bucket.

"Main building, natural environment..." Teng Shu looked at the two upgrade options.

These two are what Teng Shu thinks are more suitable. The main body is suitable for Pokémon life, while the wild meets the Pokémon survival requirements.

"If the main structure is upgraded, air conditioning may not be needed indoors, but I already have air conditioning indoors." Teng Shu took a look at the air conditioner. Teng Shu's welfare home has air conditioning, which is good for both heating and cooling.

After thinking about it, Teng Shu chose to upgrade the natural environment first. He wanted to see what type of environment was suitable for Pokémon to survive.

As Teng Shu made his choice, his phone vibrated.

[Arzeus Construction Company: Mr. Teng Shu, the environmental renovation project you booked has been insured by our company, and the construction team will arrive soon...]

"Is this... so reasonable?" Teng Shu was a little surprised, but it was better this way, so he didn't have to think of reasons to explain to Locke why the situation outside became even stranger.

Soon, there was a knock on the door. Teng Shu curiously opened the door and took a look. Outside was a group of ordinary people. They looked very ordinary, carrying a lot of equipment, and their clothes were printed with [Arceus Construction Company].

Chapter 94: Snack Selection and Comic Publishing

Looking at the professional construction teams in front of him, Teng Shu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he still politely let them in.

This construction team that suddenly appeared was also very taciturn. They nodded to Teng Shu and went straight into the construction. Teng Shu looked at his phone thoughtfully. He just searched for [Arceus Construction Company] and found that there really was such a company.

"It's not made up by the system? This is really interesting." Teng Shu looked at the busy construction team thoughtfully. They released a large number of Pokémon, and then rapidly improved the natural environment in the welfare home at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Dean, are you doing construction?" Locke came over and looked at the construction team in front of him, asking with some curiosity.

"Well, hasn't the temperature dropped recently? The little guys come out less often, so I thought I'd take the opportunity to improve the situation." Teng Shu nodded. He couldn't say that he had extracted this using the system, right?

If he said that, Locke would probably come over and ask him if he needed help, or even think of asking him to write a paper.

Locke nodded, then handed the bag in his hand over. Teng Shu paused, looked down, and saw that it was a bag of specially processed dried fruits.

Teng Shu took out a dried fruit and took a bite. It tasted sour and sweet and was not bad.

Anyway, for this guy Locke, you may not find anything else in his office, but you can definitely find food. Teng Shu also can't understand why this guy Locke can eat so much.

Normally, a person's appetite gradually weakens as they age, but this is especially true after entering college. In junior high and high school, people generally eat more as they get older.

That's what happens when a young boy eats his father out of money.

"Dean, you are really amazing. You even invited Arceus Construction Company here." Locke seemed to recognize the construction team in front of him, which made Teng Shu curious. He had thought that this was a company created by the system for the sake of rationality. Could it really exist?

"What do you mean?" Teng Shu glanced at Locke, and Locke didn't think much about it and answered casually.

"Arceus Construction Company is one of the old-established construction companies in the alliance. Because of its fast construction speed and good quality, many people have made appointments with it." Locke took a bite of the dried fruit and then smacked his lips. He always felt like something was missing?

Teng Shu understood it, but he didn't know how the system was rational. However, it didn't matter. Teng Shu was not worried if the system took action. Otherwise, Teng Shu would be an illegal resident now.

After all, Teng Shu traveled directly to the Pokémon world with his own body, so he didn't have a household registration in the Pokémon world. Fortunately, he got one after receiving the novice gift package. He was also a "lucky orphan". After winning the lottery, he decided to open an orphanage to give back to the society. He can be said to have a good family background.

"You seem to like eating snacks very much?" Teng Shu said to Locke as he walked to the door. He heard a knock on the door.

When he opened the door, it was a postman who brought Teng Shu's package. Teng Shu took it with some excitement. He knew what was inside. The comic he had submitted to "Kanto Manqing" had been accepted before, so it should be the comic magazine sent to him now.

Every cartoonist whose work is serialized in this issue of the comic will receive a free copy of this issue.

"It's mainly because I'm used to having something in my mouth." Locke took a look and then looked away. He had no interest in prying into other people's privacy.

Teng Shu understood. He glanced at Locke and decided to make some snacks later. On the one hand, it could be used as an employee benefit for Locke, and on the other hand, it could be used as snacks for the other little ones in their spare time.

But what to do is still a question.

After taking a look at the construction team still working, Teng Shu hurried back to his office. He planned to see how his adaptation of Journey to the West appeared in this world.

However, the initial excitement subsided after I read the comics.

“In fact, there is no difference between it and what I drew myself. It just appears in the comics. It still depends on whether the readers like this work.” Teng Shu looked at the Journey to the West he had finished drawing, then stretched.

The stories of Journey to the West are all in Teng Shu's brain. All Teng Shu has to do is to take them out and complete the settings of Journey to the West in the comics so that more people can understand Journey to the West.

However, Teng Shu is still quite confident in Monkey Brother's charm. After all, Monkey Brother has been popular for so many years in his previous life, and excellent works will always be memorable.

Kanto Manga will regularly collect the attention and fan count of works to confirm whether a work can become popular, and bad works will often be taken off the shelves.

But after all, it was Teng Shu’s first work published in a weekly comics magazine, so Teng Shu still put this Guandu Manqing on his bookshelf.

"Becoming a cartoonist doesn't matter. The main thing is whether I can make money." Teng Shu took a look at the comics in the cabinet. His biggest hope for this work is to make money. After all, there are so many little ones in the yard who need to be taken care of.

"Then what should this snack be used for?" Teng Shu fell into deep thought. He was thinking about what snack would be better?

Snacks, as the name suggests, are used to kill time, so in theory melon seeds are the best. A bag of melon seeds can be paired with many things, watching a movie, reading a novel, etc. are all good choices.

But there are melon seeds in the world of Pokémon, so this is not within Teng Shu's consideration.

After all, it always feels a bit stupid to make something that already exists on the market.

"Snacks...beef jerky?" Teng Shu thought of a snack that was quite common in his previous life, but relatively expensive.

Beef jerky.

This stuff can be said to be a hotbed for counterfeiting and selling fakes. After all, beef itself is relatively expensive, which also leads to the outrageous price of beef jerky. Therefore, some products on the market use rabbit meat, mutton and pork to impersonate beef jerky.

Although they have been cracked down on many times, they still continue to do so. After all, if they don't say it is beef jerky, they will just say it is air-dried meat, which is not considered fraud. Unless the customer holds up his mobile phone and asks if it is beef jerky, the other party will reluctantly give an answer.

Although traditional beef in the Pokémon world is quite expensive, Teng Shu still plans to give it a try. After all, the taste of beef jerky is really good.

Chapter 95: Musashi Kojiro and Meow Meow!

Teng Shu has always believed that foodies are the most sincere people in the world. They always vote with their mouths. If something tastes good, it tastes good. If something tastes bad, it tastes bad. No matter what you say, nothing will help.

Although there are some people who specialize in brushing orders, most foodies still quietly use their wallets to endorse their favorite foods.

If it tastes good, it tastes good; if it tastes bad, it tastes bad. Although there may be slight differences depending on individual tastes, if an old restaurant is often visited by people, the taste of the food will usually not be too bad.

Beef jerky is one of the snacks that has "survived" after going through the screening of a lot of foodies.

It tastes good and is durable, the only drawback is that it is expensive.

"Beef jerky..." Teng Shu was standing in the kitchen. He planned to make beef jerky while making lunch. The most important thing in making beef jerky is the marinating and the selection of beef, but these are not a big deal for Teng Shu.

When Teng Shu was young, he learned how to make beef jerky from the elders in his family, so he is quite good at it now. The only problem is that he feels a little bit distressed when making beef jerky, after all, beef is still very expensive.

However, looking at the beef waiting to be dried, Teng Shu was still quite satisfied.

"So what's next..." Teng Shu looked at his food cabinet and without much hesitation, he decided what to eat for lunch.

"Ga!" The dark crow flew in with a cry, then flapped its wings.

"Xiao Hei, is there a guest coming?" Teng Shu knew what Murk Crow meant as soon as he saw Murk Crow's actions. Murk Crow nodded. Teng Shu was a little happy. Of course, he knew who would come to see him at this time. It could only be Kojiro.

After all, Teng Shu had talked about this matter with Kojiro before, so it was certain that Kojiro would come to find him.

"Xiao Hei, please go and open the door and bring the guest over." Teng Shu smiled and touched the head of the Dark Crow. The Dark Crow nodded and flew out immediately. Teng Shu originally wanted to go there himself, but he was cooking now, so he couldn't free up his hands to pick up the guest for the time being.

"Teng Shu, is your welfare home still under construction?" After a while, Teng Shu heard Kojiro's voice. Teng Shu put down the food in his hand with a smile and turned his head to take a look.

Then Teng Shu saw Kojiro standing at the door of the cafeteria and looking inside, with Meowth and Musashi beside him. This made Teng Shu pause. Why did the trio come together this time?

"Musashi? Meowth? Why are you here?" Teng Shu asked with some joy. He had a good relationship with Musashi and Meowth. Teng Shu and the trio had bumped into each other in Changqing City. The three guys went out to eat and their wallets were stolen. It was Teng Shu who helped pay for the theft, so they became friends after a few encounters.

"Dean Teng Shu! Long time no see, meow!" Meow Meow trotted over excitedly, but before she could take a few steps, the leader of the cats rushed over, grabbed the back of Meow Meow's neck, and then tried to carry it out.

"This is not your Meow Meow!" Musashi hurried over. The three cat leaders rushed over and looked at Musashi in front of them with fierce eyes. The leader stopped and turned to look at Teng Shu, as if asking Teng Shu if this was the case.

Teng Shu nodded, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

For Pokémon like CatBoss, the leader of the group will take the responsibility of taking care of the members. Although he also enjoys the offerings of the group, he also needs to be able to do things himself.
