I opened an orphanage in the Pokémon world

"Dean Teng Shu, thank you." Xing Zhen said sincerely. Locke was gone by now.

He took Koudaihua and Rada to the infirmary, which also provided a place for Tengshu and Yukima to talk.

"Grandpa Xingzhen, you know everything?" Teng Shu was a little embarrassed. In order to allow Xingyi, a ghost wandering in the human world, to return, Teng Shu had lied.

I originally thought that we would never see each other again, but I didn't expect the old man to come to my house and even want to clean his place to repay me.

This is more or less embarrassing.

"Well, at that time... when the old woman was cremated, the medical staff of the alliance investigated and told me that the beast had died. Then I knew that you were definitely not the beast's co-worker." Grandpa Yukihiro's tone was very calm, and there was only a slight tremor when he mentioned cremation.

Teng Shu said nothing.

Gambling dogs will not die well.

It can only be said that the guy Xingyi had such an ending because of his own fault.

Teng Shu didn't want to say anything for Xing Yi. If he did something wrong, it was wrong. Would it be of any use to say he regretted it?

I just don’t know what kind of life Xingyi will lead in the spirit world, and I don’t know if there is a special punishment mechanism in the spirit world.

"Thank you so much for allowing me to let go of my worries before I leave." Xing Zhen said gratefully.

He could naturally see that the old woman was in poor health during that period, and it could be said that she was able to hold on only because she missed her good-for-nothing son.

For this reason, although Yukima was very dissatisfied with the beast, he didn't say anything.

Teng Shu's arrival allowed the old woman to let go of her worries and she passed away peacefully.

Chapter 117 Elderly Pokémon

Old man Xingzhen finally stayed in the welfare home. There were special staff dormitories in Tengshu’s welfare home, but Locke bought a house in Changqing City, so he didn’t usually live in the staff dormitory.

So now Mr. Xingzhen has become the first employee in the entire welfare home to live in the staff dormitory. Although he is just a cleaner, Teng Shu still reported Mr. Xingzhen's information to the alliance.

The salary standard for cleaners is not very high. According to the salary standard released by Changqing City last year, the salary of cleaners just reached the passing line - two thousand Alliance coins.

However, if you add the performance subsidy from the alliance, the actual salary you receive is about 2,700 yuan, which can be considered a welfare position.

"Grandpa Xingzhen, this is the staff dormitory. Our welfare home provides food and accommodation. Your salary will be regularly transferred to your account on the first of every month." Teng Shu introduced the old man.

The staff dormitory is not very big, just a small single room of 30 square meters, but it is equipped with a bathroom, so you don’t have to share a toilet with others.

Of course, there are not many employees in the welfare home now. Apart from Miss Qiao Yiyun who works part-time, there is only Locke, the full-time psychologist, and Mr. Xingzhen, the cleaner.

"Okay, thank you." Old man Xingzhen was not dissatisfied with the environment in front of him. He just moved his simple luggage in. Teng Shu did not bother the old man too much and left directly to prepare today's lunch or something.

Old man Xingzhen was sitting alone in the room, looking at the room in front of him with a dull look. Although the room was not very big, it was just right for him to live alone.

"Old woman..." Xingzhen stroked the pocket in his arms, which contained some of the old woman's clothes.

The ashes have been placed in a small urn and placed in the alliance's special public cemetery. The good news is that you don't have to pay for it. The alliance will maintain it regularly. Of course, if you pay, you will also get some corresponding treatment.

Xingzhen looked at an account in his hand. This was the charity donation account of the Care Welfare Home that he had inquired about from the Pokémon League Office. People in the society could donate to this account for charity. He planned to donate all his salary to it.

Anyway, he is alone now and has no need for this money.

Xing Zhen sat quietly in the room. For a moment, he seemed to be able to hear the old woman chattering to him about the trivialities of life, but when he came to his senses, he could hear nothing but dead silence.

Xingzhen's eyes looked a little lonely.

After supporting each other for so long, he and the old woman had long become each other's closest people, but now the old woman has passed away, leaving him alone in this world. Every day, every second, every time he opens his eyes, is a torture for him.

If it weren't for the desire to repay Teng Shu for his help, Yukima might have chosen to die.

"Huh?" A strange sound was heard. Yukima looked up and saw a dark crow standing at the window, looking at him curiously.

As if noticing his gaze, Murkrow tilted his head.

"You...are holding an orange fruit in your mouth?" Yukihiro smiled. He noticed what the dark crow was holding in its mouth.

Murkrow nodded subconsciously, and then there was a hint of wariness in his eyes. Could this stranger with the scent of Dean Teng Shu be planning to steal its orange fruit?

Dark Crow wanted to use this to plant fruit trees and win the dean's praise.

Thinking of this, Dark Crow flew away decisively.

Although the person in front of him was brought in by Teng Shu, Dark Crow was not particularly familiar with him, so he was naturally wary of him.

"Dean, who was that just now?" Locke poked his head out of the cafeteria window and asked curiously.

"A friend." Teng Shu was very calm. He was checking the beef jerky he had made earlier. He originally wanted to air-dry it, but apparently the weather was not very good during this period, so it was difficult to air-dry it. If it continued like this, bacteria would breed.

If so much beef became inedible because of bacteria, Teng Shu would be so heartbroken that he would think about it every night before going to bed.

Therefore, the rattan tree naturally needs to be processed using some other methods, such as burning it dry.

The roasted dried meat tastes very good and is relatively easy to store. Although it cannot be stored for a very long time, Teng Shu feels that with the speed at which he and Locke eat, and with so many mouths to feed in the welfare home, it should not be difficult to finish it all.

"How are Koudaihua and Rada?" Teng Shu asked Locke while making fire to burn the dried basil.

Although Teng Shu felt that it would take a long time for Kuchika and Rada to recover, Locke was a psychologist after all, so it was possible that he might have some solutions.

"Not very good. Still the same as always, refusing to communicate and being self-isolating. But I also learned some other information." When Locke mentioned the two new Pokémon that joined the welfare home, he suddenly became much more serious.

Although he is a foodie and particularly likes to write papers, Locke is still very reliable when it comes to serious matters.

"What?" Teng Shu looked at Locke with some curiosity.

"These two Pokémon are very old. They have entered the later years of Pokémon life. They probably don't have many years left." Locke's voice was a little low.

Pokémon also have a lifespan. Relatively speaking, insect-type Pokémon have the shortest lifespan, and the lifespan of ghost-type Pokémon is still unknown. However, the vast majority of Pokémon, like humans, cannot escape death in the end.

Only death is the final scale standing in the way of life.

Teng Shu didn't say anything. He also knew that the lifespan of those two Pokémon was not long. After all, the old lady was relatively poor, and these two Pokémon had been with her for almost half her life. It was pretty good that they could survive until now.

"Give me the information and I'll report it to the alliance." Teng Shu put the beef on the grill.

These two Pokémon also need to go through the alliance's process to determine whether to release them into the wild or put them up for adoption. However, judging by the lifespan of these two Pokémon, Teng Shu feels that they will most likely not be put up for adoption in the end.

After all, old Pokémon with a short lifespan are often not adopted and may even be abandoned.

The physical functions of elderly Pokémon decline, and their fighting power is no longer what it used to be. They cannot be used in battle even if they are adopted, so there are almost no people willing to adopt them.

Pokémon like this might be kept in Teng Shu's welfare home, and then the alliance would pay Teng Shu to take care of it. After all, that's what the welfare home does.

Chapter 118 Sudden Power Outage

[...According to current investigation, Koudaihua and Lada have entered their old age. ]

Teng Shu was sitting in his office typing on the keyboard.

As the director of an orphanage, Teng Shu's job is boring but interesting at the same time, but in fact, most of the time it is repetitive work. Every time a new Pokémon comes in, Teng Shu has to make a report.

There are monthly reports every month, quarterly reports every quarter, semi-annual reports, annual reports, and then at the end of the year when the accounts are checked, it is a chaotic time again.

However, Teng Shu has only been running the welfare home for three months, so he does not need to prepare annual reports or anything like that in the short term. In some ways, this is quite lucky.

"Finally I've finished writing it." Teng Shu hit enter and felt much better as he watched the email being sent out in a circle.

Then the next second, the computer screen went black.

Teng Shu was stunned for a moment.

He looked at the black screen of the computer in front of him in astonishment, then rubbed his eyes in disbelief, but when he opened his eyes again, the computer screen was also black.

"It crashed?" This was Teng Shu's first reaction. He took a look subconsciously and found out one good news and one bad news.

The good news is that the computer did not freeze.

The bad news is that there is a power outage.

"Fuck!" Teng Shu couldn't help but curse.

In fact, as a stable man in his thirties, Teng Shu doesn't like to swear very much. But when the work was done and the power went out during the sending process, if this happened to anyone, I'm afraid he would be unable to avoid saying "fuck".

"Is there an automatic save function? The files won't be lost or damaged, right?" Teng Shu felt helpless. He stood up and took a look. Oh my god, the whole welfare home was out of power.

Teng Shu walked out in a hurry.

"Director, there's a power outage in the infirmary!" Locke just happened to come over and said anxiously after seeing Teng Shu. Teng Shu nodded. Of course he knew that not only the infirmary, but the entire welfare home had a power outage.

Although Teng Shu's welfare home was built with the help of the system, the power grid and water supply are still connected to the alliance. Otherwise, Teng Shu would have to find a way to explain why his welfare home did not need to be connected to the power grid and water pipes.

Although the benefits of this are very reasonable and there is no need to worry about any problems, there are also disadvantages.

Just like the situation we are facing now.

[Evergreen Power Grid issued an emergency notice: Due to the influence of severe convective weather, power supply problems have just occurred in some areas of our city, and power poles have collapsed. The alliance is currently carrying out emergency repairs. The affected areas...]

Teng Shu looked at the notification on his phone and scratched his head.

"The electric pole collapsed and the power went out. We are currently repairing it." Teng Shu explained and then looked towards his welfare home.

There are not many places in the welfare home that require electricity, and probably only the air conditioner is the most affected.

Moreover, Teng Shu always uses a gas stove to cook, so naturally he doesn't need electricity. According to the alliance's emergency repair speed, the power supply is usually restored by evening.

"Is the infirmary affected?" Teng Shu asked Locke. Locke shook his head. There was nothing in the infirmary that needed electricity, except for the medical cabin.

But he had checked and found that Teng Shu's medical cabin had the ability to store electricity to prevent such things from happening. Even if there was a power outage, it would not affect normal use.

"That's okay." Teng Shu rubbed his face.

So in this power outage crisis, I am the one who is most affected, right?

The report I wrote hasn't been sent out yet, and suddenly the computer screen went black. This feeling is enough to make a worker's blood pressure rise.

Teng Shu shook his head. There was nothing he could do now. He would have to wait until the call came back. It seemed that he would need to buy a laptop next time to prevent any problems.

If such a problem arises when preparing the annual report, Teng Shu would probably really want to cut down the telephone pole.

Although Teng Shu was very worried about his email, now that things had already happened, there was no point in worrying, so Teng Shu quickly put the matter behind him.

At worst, I can just write a new one when the time comes and that'll be the end of it.

"The two cat bosses adopted by Kojiro and Yongye gave me a total of 1,300 happiness points. The accumulation speed is quite fast." Teng Shu took out a notebook and looked at the to-do list on it.

Here are some things recorded by Teng Shu himself, all of which are things to do in the welfare home.

The first one is the heart problem of the gangster crocodile.

However, it is very difficult to solve this problem at present. Teng Shu does not have enough happiness points to upgrade the medical cabin, and even if it is upgraded, he needs to find a matching heart source.
