Although Xiao Zhao had doubts in her heart, she didn't think too much. She just hummed softly and said casually: "Then, what are you going to do after you go back?"

“There are a lot of things to do, whether it’s reporting to Boss Magamu and the others, settling down the “employees”, or finding a place to recreate Listia’s castle to use as a future stronghold... There are countless things I can do.”

Mingyao sighed quite exaggeratedly: "Xiaozhao, I really have no choice. At least in the early stages of working in the alliance, can you please help me more?"

Xiao Zhao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "Look at what you said... let me think about it, how should I answer?

Ah, right, right.

He has a big brain, what nonsense. "

★Volume [-]★

Chapter 1 Nono

"One, two, three, hey!

One, two, three, hey!

One, two, three... Great scholar, big girl, move, move, stop being blocked here! "

The cold sea breeze in the early morning penetrated into the neck, and the loud shouts of the sailors complemented each other. Finally, Nono, who had been suffering from insomnia due to seasickness for several days and was standing in a daze, suddenly woke up.

She was standing on the deck of the ship, with the gangway in front of her.

When Nuonuo turned around, she saw several strong sailors behind her working together to carry a large cargo that looked very heavy.

The sailors glanced at her. Although they didn't say it clearly, their eyes urged her to move quickly and not to block the way.

Nuonuo's face turned slightly red and he hesitated: "I'm sorry, I was just thinking about something...I'll leave right now."

With that said, she grabbed her salute from the ground and quickly stepped onto the spiral staircase and walked down. The sailors behind her resumed their shouts of "one, two, three" and began to move one piece of cargo after another. Get off the boat.

This medium-sized wooden sailboat finally arrived at its destination after more than ten days of sailing. The passengers were already tired of the life on the water that they were originally looking forward to. Instead, they suffered from seasickness and "itching after not taking a shower for a long time". A more realistic question.

After the boat arrived at its destination, they all couldn't wait to line up to get off the boat.

Although this is only a medium-sized passenger ship, the number of people is really not small.Nuonuo roughly counted, and there were almost four or fifty people here.

They were in groups of twos and threes, including men, women, old and young. There were a few children wearing Pokémon masks at the front of the crowd. It looked like many of them were traveling together as a whole family.

This is really strange. Is the Xicui area a tourist attraction?Why do so many people come here during non-holidays?Judging from their clothes, they don’t look like rich people...

Nuonuo murmured in his heart, took out the map from his backpack and looked at it twice, then silently followed the crowd.

It would be better to have more people, at least as long as you follow the large army, you don't have to worry about getting lost - there is only one settlement village near the dock, and it seems that those people are going there just like her.

The village called "Celebration Village".

The large army was walking in front, and Nuonuo followed slowly behind.Compared with the families or young couples traveling together in front of her, her figure alone seemed a bit lonely, but Nono herself didn't care about this contrast.

She is here to work, not to travel.

"Hello, hello, great scholar."

A person in front of Nono suddenly turned around. It was a girl about the same age as her.

Completely opposite to Nono, whose bookish aura can be seen at a glance, the girl in front of her has smart and lively eyes, her hair is tied into a ponytail for ease of movement, and she is very good at sports at first glance.

She was cheerful and outgoing, and waved to Nono enthusiastically, with an excited smile on her face:

"If I remember correctly, your name is Nuonuo, right?

My name is Ajue, and the room was next to yours when we were on the ship. Do you remember? "

Nuonuo hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "Sorry, I stayed in the room most of the time on the ship..."

"Ah, it's okay, it's okay. Now you know each other." Ajue waved his hand with a smile: "Nono, you are a scholar, right? This is the first time I have seen such a young girl wearing glasses. At first glance, she looks like an intellectual. !”

Nuonuo adjusted her glasses subconsciously, shook her head and said: "No, I am not a scholar. I am just a student now, still learning. Only when I finish writing this thesis can I get my degree from Graduation from school.”

"paper?"

"It's... something like a work results report." Nono thought for a while and explained: "I came to the Xicui area this time to inspect and research to complete my thesis."

"Eh? Really? Then what are you studying?"

"Pokémon and the Legend of Creation—this is my topic."

It wasn’t a secret anyway, and the girl in front of him didn’t look like a bad person, so Nono didn’t hide it and explained casually:

“There are many legends related to Pokémon in various regions around the world, such as the legend of the Bell Tower in the Johto area, the legend of the patron saint of the islands in the Alola area, etc.

However, the influence and spread of these legends are basically limited to the region, and the content cannot be said to be exaggerated if you think about it carefully.The true legends related to "Creation" can only be found in the Xicui area, so I came here. "

"That's it...I haven't read a book or gone to school. I always feel so complicated."

Ah Jue touched the back of his head and smiled without embarrassment: "I thought Nuonuo, like us, came here to work."

"We? Work?" Nono was puzzled: "Didn't you come here to travel alone?"

"No, although I have traveled to many places before, but this time I am here to stay for a long time."

Ah Jue pointed to himself, and then to the crowd talking and laughing in front of him, and explained: "It's not just me, most of the people here immigrated to the Xicui area to live permanently."

Nuonuo was stunned again and continued to be confused: "Immigrate to the Xicui area... to live permanently? Why?"

Nuonuo knew the Xicui area quite well. It was a very ancient area with a long history. There seemed to be a large town called "Shenhe" a long time ago, which was considered prosperous in that era.

But later, the city of Shenhe was ruined for some reason, and the people of Shenhe were dispersed. The Xicui area fell silent, and gradually turned into a rural area with no characteristics except for legends.

A sparsely populated remote area with nothing but special local customs - this is the Xicui area.

A place like this might be good for traveling, but... long-term stay?migrant?

Normally, if you want to immigrate, shouldn't you immigrate to a large and advanced area like the Hezhong area?Why did they do the opposite and come to this rural place to suffer?

Ajue seemed to see the doubts in Noonuo's mind, and smiled and explained: "Indeed, the Xicui area is indeed relatively backward in terms of conditions. When I wanted to find a place to settle down, I didn't consider Xicui at all. area.

But, I don’t know why, but the Blazers team in the Xicui area called the Galaxy Team has been recruiting people with high salaries since more than half a year ago. The benefits and benefits are very good, not inferior to the big teams in the Hezhong area. company!As far as I know, there are a lot of people here who are attracted by the super high salary they offer. "

Chapter 2 Slowpoke isn’t worried, why are you worried?

This was not the first time that Nono heard the name of the pioneering group "Galaxy Team" - rather, she actually had a certain relationship with this organization.

Academic research is not a simple matter, and one of the most crucial points is research funding.

Although Nono's research is biased towards the humanities and does not require a lot of experiments like those students who are engaged in physics, conducting field trips in the Xicui area, whether it is food, clothing, food and accommodation here or the collection of ancient books and materials, these are all Need money.

The university's research funds are basically awarded to those popular majors. For students like Nono whose research topics are relatively niche, it is good if the school can reimburse the round-trip boat ticket.

After arriving at the place, they basically had to fend for themselves.

Nono's luck was pretty good. Although she didn't apply for the school's research funds as expected, she luckily had a pretty good mentor.

According to Nono's mentor, he has a PhD friend who joined the investigation organization called Team Galaxy a few years ago and happened to be doing some ecological research in the Xicui area.

It is said that the doctor still has some status in Team Galaxy. After thinking about it for a while, Nono's mentor wrote to him and asked if he could help take care of Nono.

And the doctor's reply was quick. He promised that Nono's food, drink, housing and transportation in the Xicui area would be taken care of by Team Galaxy, and the price was only to have Nono name herself in Team Galaxy and arrange a casual position for her. Just help with some minor chores after research.

"Hey, is that so?" After listening to Nono's explanation, Ajue showed an incredulous look: "I remember what your name is... a working-study student?"

"I'm an intern." Nono corrected subconsciously: "I don't have a salary or a formal establishment. The Galaxy team only provides me with food and accommodation.

But even so, it saves me a lot of worry and I can focus more on research.

Ideally, I only need to stay here for less than half a year before I can finish all my research and leave here. "

"Is that so..."

Ah Jue didn't know if he understood, but he just nodded confusedly and sighed: "I really didn't expect that there are really everyone among the dozens of us, ranging from craftsmen to lawyers, and finally there are You are a great scholar...there are so many different kinds of people here."

"Artisan? Lawyer?"

"Look, for example, the man walking on the far left, did you see it? His name is Seth, and he is an elf ball craftsman from the Johto area. Although he looks taciturn, it is said that his craftsmanship is famous throughout the Johto area. A very famous craftsman who can even be called a "grandmaster".

Also, did you see the young couple walking not far in front of us?The husband's name is Ryunosuke, a lawyer, and his wife's name is Shousado, who is his legal assistant.It is said that they recently returned from studying abroad in the Galar region, and after much consideration they decided to open a law firm in Zhuqing Village.

Also, the red-haired boy carrying a wooden box at the front is said to be a swordsman from some region. He joined the Galaxy Team in order to save medical expenses for his sister who had a strange disease. …”

Ah Jue had a cheerful and outgoing personality and was willing to make friends. He had interacted with many fellow passengers on the ship. At this time, he told them the names, origins and purposes of the people in front of them like a treasure trove.

After listening to her talk for a while, Nono was surprised to find that the professions of these dozens of people included all walks of life, and each of them could be said to be outstanding in their own field, or at least a mainstay in related fields.

With so many talents, even some small towns in the Hezhong region may not be able to accommodate them.

Team Galaxy offered them high salary and good treatment to invite them to come to the Celebration Village...for what reason?Can they really find a use here?

Isn't this just a backward and barren land? Is there any need for so many people?What does the leader of Team Galaxy think? Doesn't he care about money?

After thinking about it for a moment, Nono shook his head and casually threw this doubt somewhere in his heart.

No matter what the people of Team Galaxy think, it has nothing to do with her.

When the research ends in half a year, she will leave the Xicui area.Until then, no matter what happens here, it will have nothing to do with her.

After thinking for a while and with polite thoughts, Nono turned to look at Ah Jue and said, "What about you? Miss Ah Jue, what is your job?"

"Oh, don't call me miss..." Ah Jue scratched his head in embarrassment: "Hey, you probably wouldn't have thought of my profession...

I'm a Pokémon gourmet, or maybe a chef. "

Pokémon... gourmet?

What the hell kind of profession is that?

Nuonuo was stunned for a moment, and the look he looked at Nuonuo suddenly became strange, and he couldn't help but say:

“Does Pokémon food mean...making Pokémon into delicious food?

For example, steamed Carp King, braised Carp King, and charcoal-grilled Carp King..."

Ah Jue was stunned for a moment, and then said in a dumbfounded voice:

“No, no, no, not at all!

Turning living Pokémon into food...how terrible is this?

And why did the examples you gave all involve Magikarp? Have you ever considered Magikarp’s feelings? "

Because compared to other powerful and dangerous Pokémon, Magikarp seems to be easier to catch... Nono, who has a certain knowledge of Pokémon, answered silently in his heart.

Fortunately, Ajue did not take what Nono said seriously, but explained patiently: "The ingredients used by Pokémon gourmets are by-products collected from Pokémon, such as milk from large milk cans, The berries of the snow monster, the tail of the Slowpoke, etc.

This kind of food is not harmful to Pokémon, but it is very delicious after being processed. I was deeply conquered after eating it once. Since then, I have been traveling around, getting food everywhere and studying cooking skills, and finally finally Decided to find a place to open a restaurant..."

No, can Slowpoke's tail really be used as "an ingredient that will not harm the Pokémon itself"...

Nono struggled for a moment, but in the end he still didn't ask the question.

Because during the conversation, their journey was finally almost over.

Not far away, the gate of Zhuqing Village appeared in their eyes.

A middle-aged man with a mustache wearing a black kimono and a cotton coat stood at the gate, silently waiting for their arrival.

Chapter 3 Hell Ahead

When everyone reached the gate of Zhuqing Village, the sturdy middle-aged man with a mustache also took the initiative to walk towards them.

He coughed twice and said loudly:

"Hello everyone, welcome to come from afar.

I am the leader of Team Galaxy and the head of Zhuqing Village. You can call me Magamu.

After more than ten years of exploration and construction, Zhuqing Village has established a firm foothold in the Xicui area and is a village that I am proud of.

And now, due to some kind of opportunity, Zhuqing Village and even the entire Xicui area will enter a stage of rapid development that no one could have imagined.To this end, your strength is indispensable.

Welcome to Zhuqing Village, and please take good care of me in the rest of your life. "

As soon as Ma Jiamu finished speaking, dozens of people present began to applaud.

They didn't think Ma Jiamu's short speech was very touching, but the head of the village not only gave you so many benefits and invited you to stay here for a long time, but also came out to greet you personally. Out of politeness, it was worth taking two pictures. Lower your palm.

As the man who single-handedly built the celebration village, Ma Jiamu is an out-and-out action man. After his brief speech, he immediately instructed the Galaxy Team members who had been waiting at the rear to come forward and organize the visitors to line up in several rows. After confirming their identities one by one, they were quickly released with a smile. If they had a lot of luggage, one or two people would be assigned to help carry it.

"As expected of a pioneering team starting from scratch, the operational efficiency is truly extraordinary."
