Pokémon League Chronicles/Farming, Pokémon Trainer!

"Haha, don't tell me, the actual situation is really similar."

Qi Yun shrugged, grinned, and subconsciously prepared to explain again, but seeing Nuonuo's wary look on his face, he decided not to ask for trouble and honestly led the way.

It was a trail that had obviously just been built recently. It seemed to have been temporarily paved after cutting down a forest next to Zhuqing Village.

Although this road is not very wide, there are quite a lot of people coming and going.

Nono saw several people wearing Team Galaxy uniforms, carrying various documents in their arms and coming and going in a hurry. They all looked very busy.

After walking for a while, a huge building suddenly appeared in front of Nono.

"Wait, what is this?"

She looked at the classical-style castle that seemed to suddenly appear in front of her, and rubbed her eyes hard.

"This is... a castle? This architectural style looks like a classical Carlos noble lord's castle. Why does it appear in the Xicui area?

No, that’s not right. What’s more important is that in such a big castle, why didn’t I notice it outside?This looks taller than the college's teaching building, so it should be very conspicuous! "

"It's normal that you don't notice it outside." Qi Yun replied lazily: "It is said that the owner of the castle subconsciously blocked people at a certain distance from the outside world out of self-preservation. of……

Relax, the words on the outside don't mean anything at all, there are things inside that will surprise you. "

Chapter 8 The painting style seems a bit strange

As soon as he walked into the gate of the castle, Nono immediately understood what Qi Yun meant by "surprised".

She had taken an elective course called "World Architectural Styles" as a minor for credit in college, so she recognized the exterior decoration style of this castle at a glance as that of a Breton castle in the Carlos region.

This kind of castle architecture was a style particularly favored by the ancient Carlos lords who were very happy with their achievements. One of its characteristics is that it is flashy.

Although they look beautiful on the outside, it is very uncomfortable to live in them without ventilation in the summer and warmth in the winter. Moreover, the structure is not strong, and it is easy to cause trouble when encountering natural disasters such as earthquakes and floods, so they are stuck. The people of Los soon gave up building such castles.

It is said that there are several such castle ruins in Carlos, which have been restored and beautified by the local government and turned into classical museums or art galleries. The interiors are filled with precious oil paintings or famous sculptures, and they have become well-known tourism projects. Quite a group of people.

Nono once took advantage of his mentor and traveled to the Carlos region in the name of academic exchange. There was a similar classical castle there.

The castle has a majestic appearance, with a gleaming silver knight statue made of sterling silver on the roof.Just looking at it from a distance, Nono can feel the noble and elegant artistic atmosphere from the inside out turning into dazzling light and color that shocks people's hearts. Of course, what is also shocking is the words " "Tickets Two Hundred One" sign...

Although Nono was not able to enter the castle museum in person in the end due to lack of money, from then on this kind of castle has become a symbol of art and luxury in her heart, even vaguely sacred. Inviolable meaning.

But in this castle with the "Pokémon Alliance Headquarters" sign hanging on the door, Nono's first impression of the place after stepping into it was...

Vegetable market?

"Hey hey hey! Don't miss it if you pass by! Take a look, the freshly baked family pickles can be used with rice or dry food!"

"Collect tobacco taro, collect tobacco taro! No matter what color or size, we accept them all, the price is negotiable!"

"Let's make clothes, let's make clothes! Let's take a look at the new fabrics!"

Nuonuo only felt that he was hallucinating, and rubbed his eyes and ears hard, hoping that he could wake up.

But unfortunately, everything backfired. When she opened her eyes again, she still saw the scene just now.

What was placed on both sides of the marble corridor were not gorgeous works of art, but jars of kimchi and emerald green blouses as sample products. The uncles and aunties shouted vigorously in local accents that she could not understand at all, attracting people to come and go. Pedestrians stopped to watch.

No, why are there so many people wandering around the castle in broad daylight? !Don’t people in Zhuqing Village go to work? !

Nuonuo took a closer look and saw that on the walls as white as jade on both sides of the corridor, one side was engraved with a few neat large characters, "Hezhu Pickles"; the other side was a wooden board with dragons and phoenixes written in calligraphy on it, "Xiaojuan" tailor".

The two signs complement each other and complement each other, and together with the marble floor that is so bright that it can reflect people's shadows, they successfully enhance Nono's sense of dissonance to the sky.

"Um...Mr. Qi Yun?" Nono turned his head stiffly, trying to force out a smile that was uglier than crying: "This is the headquarters of the Pokémon Alliance, right? Why does it look like a vegetable market? of?"

"To be more precise, the correct name here is Alliance Commercial Street, which is one of the two major economic centers in Zhuqing Village." Qi Yun said seriously: "By the way, the other major economic center is the street in front of the Galaxy Team headquarters. Come on, most of the shops here are branches over there.”

"No, so..." Nono covered her face: "Why are there these individual traders in the alliance headquarters!? This is so weird, it's just as weird as having a snack street in the principal's office of our school!"

"Oh, this..." Qi Yun scratched the back of his head: "This situation is a bit complicated, and it will be difficult to explain clearly for a while.

To put it simply, the official office space of the alliance is on the second floor. Only a few rooms on the first floor are used to set up service offices, and the other rooms are empty.

Due to various reasons, the service office became very popular after it was opened. Many villagers came to visit it every day, and it was common to wait in line for half a day.

As time went by, when some adults and aunts were queuing up, they found that many empty rooms here seemed suitable for opening shops, so they simply went to the chairman and asked if they could make some room here for them to set up stalls and sell things. "

"Then...the chairman agrees?"

"He didn't agree immediately. He was actually quite hesitant at first. It wasn't until he calculated the income from rent collection that he made an immediate decision."

"..."

Nuonuo was silent for a moment. She looked into the corridor and saw that except for a few people who were bargaining with the boss near the shop, most of the villagers were still queuing up against the wall in an orderly manner. In front of the queue was a hairless person. The inconspicuous room, with the room sign saying "Pokémon Center - Headquarters", seemed to be the "very popular service office" that Qi Yun mentioned.

She subconsciously wanted to get closer there to see what kind of office could be so popular, but suddenly she heard a sharp scream unique to a middle-aged woman coming from inside:

"Oh, Miss Joy, you must help me. Look at our Slowpoke. His foot hit a chair leg more than two hours ago this morning and broke his toes. But But it never responded at all. It still needs to eat and drink. Do you think it is stupid? Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, you must save it... Oh, oh, oh! No, no, no! It started to shout. It hurts! Be good, it doesn’t hurt. Miss Joy, do you have any trauma medicine..."

Nono quietly put his head back and turned to look at Qi Yun: "Mr. Qi Yun, let's go quickly. Let's go to the second floor to report to the chairman."

"Eh? Are you leaving now?" Qi Yun's face was full of regret: "Why don't you try that pickle? It obviously tastes good, even if you don't eat it as a snack, it's still good..."

"No need!" Nono covered his face with his hands: "Although I don't know what the Pokémon League and Pokémon Center do, nor what exactly happened here!

But my gut tells me!If I stay here any longer, my worldview and cognition will collapse!

So please, take me out of here quickly! "

Chapter 9 The corporate culture here seems a bit strange.

Nuonuo covered her face and didn't look at the road. Forced by the huge sense of disobedience, she followed Qi Yun as if fleeing from the first floor of a vegetable market.

Setting up a vegetable market (technically called a commercial street) in such a classical and majestic castle...does the Pokémon Alliance leader named Chairman really have no problem! ?

While thinking about it, Nono finally arrived at the second floor. The first thing that came into her sight was a series of slogans on the wall.

It's not surprising that there are slogans in the castle. Such things often appear in schools like Nono. The corridors are lined with photos and portraits of famous scholars, and their famous quotes are written below. , the sentence on the right, "There is no turning back when a bow is fired," makes the great men in the portraits on both sides seem to be arguing with each other across the corridor, life and death, time and space, and the philosophical atmosphere is extremely strong.

And the slogan here is...

"Turning off lights".

"No running in the corridors."

"Pay attention to ventilation."

"Turn right ahead and go straight to the toilet, men on the left and women on the right."

Is this, so practical?

Qi Yun seemed to have seen through Nono's thoughts, and added in a timely and considerate manner:

"Originally, when Miss Xiaozhao suggested adding some eye-catching slogans to the corridor to show off the energy, the boss was quite excited. But as soon as we bought pens, inks, paper, inkstones and other materials, we started to think about it, what should we write?

The people in Team Galaxy and the Pokémon League are either practical people or born in science and engineering. If you ask them to analyze the building structure, land changes, and dietary balance, they may be able to tell you a clear and logical answer, but when it comes to literary talent, it is really difficult. What's more, several people scratched their heads together and couldn't come up with even a single sentence.

But it’s rare that all the materials are ready. Wouldn’t it be a loss if I didn’t write something?So the boss finally thought about it and simply slapped his thigh. Forget about professionalism, write something about pragmatism first, and other fancy things can be discussed later.

Don't tell me, these slogans are quite meaningful. At least the newcomers won't be unable to find the toilet when they come here, right..."

Nono was silent for a moment and quickly accepted this fact.

Anyway, no matter how outrageous it is, it shouldn't be any more outrageous than the scene on the first floor. Just get used to it.

Qi Yun waved his hand and walked in front, turning left and right through the corridor. After passing more than a dozen other slogans such as "handle with care" and "no loud noises during lunch break", the two came to a There is a "Chairman's Office" sign at the door of the room.

Although a lot of things happened on the road, Nono was still a little nervous subconsciously when he thought that he was about to meet his direct boss for at least the next six months.

She couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "Mr. Qi Yun, what kind of person is that chairman...?"

Qi Yun did not answer directly, just shrugged: "What kind of person do you think he will be?"

What kind of person will he be?

In Nono's original understanding, since the other party was the first leader of a department under Team Galaxy, he should be a mature, stable, experienced, and dignified middle-aged man.

But after thinking about it carefully, Nono said that his poor imagination really couldn't imagine how a "mature and stable" middle-aged man could do such a weird thing as opening a vegetable market downstairs in his office...

So she shook her head honestly: "I can't think of it at all."

"Well, I think so... don't worry, don't be too nervous." Qi Yun said with a faint smile but not a smile: "Unlike ordinary people's impressions of bureaucratic leaders, he is actually very easy to get along with. And, in a nutshell In other words... Chairman, he is a very interesting person, naturally interesting."

"Born to be interesting?" Nuonuo repeated.

"It means that you will never be bored or bored when you are with him. This is true whether you are getting along with him or working with him."

After that, Qi Yun stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door: "Boss, the scholar lady recommended by Dr. Laben is here to report."

Nono immediately tensed up and prepared for the first meeting with her boss.

But half a minute later, until her nerves were almost broken due to nervousness, there was no response from inside.

"Boss? Are you still alive?"

Qi Yun knocked on the door harder, but there was still no response.

He couldn't help but frown: "It's strange...what's wrong?"

"Could it be... that he went out?" Nuonuo whispered.

"It's unlikely. In the past two weeks, except for going to the toilet, I haven't seen him go out of it. And judging from the weight, I conservatively estimate that he will have to stay in there for another week or two."

Qi Yun responded casually, reached out and pushed open the door and walked in.

Nono followed him cautiously, and saw that the room was about thirty square meters. There were not many furnishings in the room. There was only a huge wooden desk inside, and the floor above and around it was full of neatly folded koans. document.

A man was lying on the table. His mid-length hair, which was in a ponytail but had not been taken care of for a long time, covered his face. Nono could not see his appearance clearly at the first time. He could only continue to ask Qi Yun in a low voice: " Is this the chairman? Is he asleep?"

Qi Yun did not answer her. He just walked forward silently, stretched out his fingers to explore the man's nose, nodded and said: "Well, it looks like he is dead."

Nuonuo: "...?"

Before she could react, Qi Yun suddenly fluttered on the ground and began to cry. While crying, he took out a bag from his arms with the cover saying "About the top ten things you will never do during the establishment of the Pokémon League." In the book "Secrets You Know", I recorded what I cried about:

"No! If the chairman's office is filled with work documents and they remain unprocessed, the mental energy of the boss who has been working at his desk for a long time during the startup process will also be burned out. Please, don't die, boss. ! If you fall down here, what will happen to the agreement you made with Miss Xiaozhao and Boss Magamu? You still have health points left. If you can survive this time, you will definitely be able to finish the job. of!

Next time, "The Death of Mingyao", DuelStandBy! (Cheerful tone)*. "

Nuonuo suddenly understood what Qi Yun meant by "being particularly easy to get along with."

This person was so arrogant that the Chairman didn't even fire him. This can't be explained simply by "having a good temper and being easy to get along with", right? !Does he have any leverage against this person? !

Then she saw the "Chairman" who was lying on the table suddenly stood up. Without saying much, he just grabbed Qi Yun's collar and ignored the latter: "Hey, boss, you're alive, wait a minute." "There are still more lines to finish", he shouted...

Thrown out of the window? !

Chapter 10 The dangerous person is actually my boss

As the saying goes, if you want to gain knowledge, it is better to read thousands of books than to travel thousands of miles; to travel thousands of miles, it is better to read countless people; and to read countless people, it is better to be guided by famous teachers...

But Nuonuo now feels that none of the above methods are as practical as walking around the celebration village like him.

At least in other places, there should be no bosses who would burst into tears as soon as they saw their boss Xiao Mian, wishing to play the suona and wait for the subordinates to eat, or simply throw the subordinates out of the window like garbage.

After being thrown out, Qi Yun turned around in the air for two and a half weeks, successfully stabilized his center of gravity, landed on his feet, and landed firmly on the ground.

Nuonuo put his hands on the edge of the window. Just when he was about to breathe a sigh of relief that he was not injured, he saw Qi Yun suddenly let out a "Gah" and fell to the ground at a 90° angle to the right while maintaining his original posture. He also shouted loudly:

"It's broken, boss. My arm seems to be broken. I would like to apply for three months of work-related injury leave and salary..."

"climb."

"Eh, come on."

Then Qi Yun immediately stood up, patted himself, waved goodbye to Nuonuo at the window, and ran away easily along the path they came from...

Nuonuo could only say that he seemed to be increasingly unable to understand this person.

"Don't worry, that guy is one of the best in the whole village. If you try to understand his thinking logic, it will only kill your personality and not be beneficial to your physical and mental health." A tired voice came from behind Nono. : "Anyway, would you like to introduce yourself first?"

Nuonuo woke up from a dream. She quickly turned her head and finally formally met her boss.

Because of the other person's messy bird's nest-like hair and the deep dark circles on his face, Nono could not accurately judge the other person's age. He could only judge that the other person's age should be no more than 25 through the voice that was between a teenager and a young man. Years old, much younger than I expected.

His eyes looked tired, as if he had been working hard for a long time.If he hadn't taken the initiative to greet her, Nono would have even wanted to run out of the door first and let him continue sleeping for a while, so as not to die suddenly in front of her.

Nuonuo walked quickly to the other party's table, one and a half meters away, with his hands behind his back, and said slightly cautiously:

"Hello, I am Nono from the Padya region, and I am the incoming intern chore assistant."

Chairman Mingyao first waved his hand, indicating that Nono didn't need to be so nervous. Then he rummaged through the pile of documents on the table and pulled out a piece of paper.
