Pokémon League Chronicles/Farming, Pokémon Trainer!

His eyes compared back and forth between the paper and Nono, and said solemnly: "Miss Nono... you came to the Xicui area for academic research, right?"

Nonuo raised his head slightly and found that the piece of paper in Mingyao's hand was the resume he had sent before.

The girl in the photo on the resume has long black hair and is wearing a pair of glasses on her face. She is wearing a scholar's iconic white robe. She looks pretty and delicate, and she is indeed a typical scholar girl.

She nodded: "Yes, my topic is "Pokémon and Creation Myths", and the Xicui area has many records on this aspect."

"I see..." Mingyao rubbed his brows that were dizzy due to lack of sleep, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "You came here from the south gate of the village, and you should have seen a lot of scenes in the village, right? Do you have any thoughts or questions?”

"...Yes, and there are many."

Nuonuo took a deep breath and quickly recounted everything he had seen and heard in less than an hour since he entered the village. Finally, he said with a worried tone:

"Chairman, the Pokémon competition organized by Mr. Qi Yun is really dangerous, and it is very likely to cause ordinary villagers to panic! And if Magam Village Chief knows that there is such a terrible thing in his village, it will be very dangerous by then. The entire Pokémon League might be blamed!"

Mingyao was silent for a moment, covered his face with one hand and sighed: "Where should I start... In short, first of all, those games were not organized by Qi Yun."

"Eh? Which dangerous person did that?"

"it's me."

Nono froze immediately.

The dangerous person is actually my boss?

Mingyao rubbed his eyes and said helplessly: "It's not surprising that you would have this reaction. You are not the first foreigner to be shocked after seeing our Pokémon competition here, and you probably won't be the last.

But don’t worry, Zhuqing Village will always be safe. All Pokémon in the village are under our control. Boss Magamu and the villagers also know very well what we are doing every day. "

"Then, then..." Nono opened his mouth and said in disbelief: "Why, why would you do such a dangerous thing? As far as I know, no government in the world would do such a thing!"

"Actually, there are still some. Before us, this kind of thing was not new to the King Kong Team and the Pearl Team... but it does seem to be very rare outside the Xicui area."

Mingyao scratched his dull hair and waved his hand to instruct Nono to move a chair in the corner of the room and sit in front of him.

The conversation that follows is probably going to be long, and it wouldn't be good to keep her standing.

He even stood up and poured a cup of tea for Nono. When the fragrant tea cup was handed to him, Nono, even if he was extremely confused and surprised, could only suppress it silently in his heart for the time being.

After watching Nono take a sip of tea, Mingyao slowly said:

"Before I formally explain it to you, please allow me to ask a small question.

I originally thought that your research topic was "Pokémon and the Legend of Creation", so you should have some basic contact with Pokémon, and maybe even have your own handheld Pokémon... But it seems that it turns out it's not true? "

"No, apart from literature, I have almost never had close personal contact with Pokémon."

Nono shook his head honestly: "Pokémon is a very powerful and terrifying creature. To us, it is like a natural disaster like a tornado or tsunami. There are few scholars who study tsunamis or earthquakes. Have you experienced disasters yourself?”

"It seems to make some sense..." Mingyao smiled bitterly: "In that case, can you guess from the perspective of an "outsider" like you, what is the work of our Pokémon Alliance?"

Nono tilted his head and asked tentatively: "To...protect the people and prevent wild Pokémon from entering the village?"

"Unfortunately, it's just the opposite." Mingyao spread his hands: "Our job is to let Pokémon enter the village and enter human society."

Chapter 11 A good leader must learn to squeeze himself

Mingyao had to admit that he had indeed underestimated the workload of the Pokémon League - or in other words, the workload of starting his own business.

After returning to Zhuqing Village, the first problem Mingyao decided to deal with was to place Listia's castle near Zhuqing Village.

After all, before the official opening of the business, you need to have an office space, right?

Affected by Listia's simple and crude way of thinking that "superpowers can solve everything", Mingyao actually didn't take it too seriously. He subconsciously thought that the process of setting up the castle was basically the same as setting up an elephant. It's almost like putting it in the refrigerator.

But when he actually reported to Magamu and started meeting and discussing with the dozen or so members of the construction team he appointed to support, he gradually realized that this matter was really not that simple.

The first is the issue of placing the castle.

Mingyao originally thought that he could just find an open space of suitable size and put the castle down, but the people from the construction team said that the answer was far from simple. The things to be considered were very complicated, including land geology, crustal stress, soil influence, etc. There are a lot of professional terms that Mingyao doesn't understand at all.

Facing the members of the construction team who became more and more enthusiastic as they discussed (most of them had encountered such a difficult project for the first time, so they seemed particularly excited), Mingyao could not keep up with them 10 minutes after the meeting started. Rhythm, after 10 minutes, I just raised my hands and surrendered, saying that we really don’t understand this kind of professional thing, you just come up with the plan and I will try my best to help implement it...

The people from the construction team were really not polite to him. They took him on a step-by-step tour around Zhuqing Village that afternoon. After walking around for a few times, they roughly finalized the location. In the next few days, they cut down trees to make room for the castle. The location was measured and marked, and Mingyao was brought with him for everything, including digging the foundation and dusting. He worked more than fifteen hours a day, allowing him to thoroughly experience the life of a civil servant.

And after working for half a month and asking Listia to take out the castle again, change it back to its original size and place it in a new location, Mingyao can finally take a breath for a while...

hell.

Not to mention that a lot of follow-up work is needed to make the castle stable for a long time. The interior decoration alone is enough to give Mingyao a headache for half a month.

Internal decoration not only refers to things visible to the naked eye such as walls, ceilings and floors, but also things that are not noticed at all, including but not limited to electrical grids, sewer systems, drainage systems, ventilation systems...

And none of these things are found in this Carlos-style castle that has at least a hundred years of history and is classical at best and outdated at worst!

Everything had to be built from scratch!

Especially the drainage system. Without this, there would be no running water in the castle, and even flushing of toilets would be impossible - Mingyao didn't want to have to run 800 meters to the other end of Zhuqing Village to use the toilet.

It can only be said that thanks to the experienced practitioners of the members of Team Galaxy's construction team, plus Listia who can use her superpowers to help with fine-tuning brick by brick (Mingyao fooled her and said that this would make her The property of the castle increased in value, so the girl was quite active), and it finally took another half a month to generally arrange the inside and outside of the castle.

Although there are still some issues such as the aging of the building that will have to be dealt with sooner or later, but at least now, this office base can finally be put into use!

Then, Mingyao fell into the second problem.

The name of this problem is, office hell.

The matters related to the former gym disciples and the people from outside the country have been put on hold for nearly a month, and he needs to arrange and deal with them personally; the villagers in the celebration village who asked him to handle Pokémon-related tasks have almost crossed the threshold of Team Galaxy's gate, and they also He needs to deal with it; the alliance's internal planning arrangements and job assignments are a mess, and he needs to deal with it; Listia has eaten half a box of fruit and has no money to pay, so he needs to deal with it; the alliance's toilet is blocked again Now, he needs to deal with it...

Only at such times, Mingyao would especially sincerely admire Team Leader Xingyue: How on earth did that bitter-faced man woman handle so many complicated tasks at such a fast speed? !

Mingyao could only say that he was lucky to have lured Shi Er, a rare talent who could work directly without training, from Ah Shun. Otherwise, if he had to do all these big and trivial matters by himself, he would probably have to start his business and collapse in the middle. Unfortunately, he died suddenly in an office that he had no time to decorate...

In addition to Shi Yi, he also selected several people to help him work, including Joey, Dr. Laben, Xiaozhao, etc.

Joey opened a clinic on the first floor of the gym (and renamed it the Pokémon Center at Mingyao's strong suggestion). Dr. Laben was responsible for re-education for the "work-study students", while Xiao Zhao struggled to cope with the villagers. Replacing Mingyao's previous job.They all hold positions in this Pokémon League, which is still very rough as a whole, and they work continuously every day with little rest.

But this alone is not enough.

Mingyao needs a dedicated helper who can help him handle paperwork.

Only in this way can he be freed from the endless file hell.

And now, this person was right in front of him.

--sleep--

After Mingyao described the situation and development direction of the Celebration Village and the Pokémon League in as short a word as possible, Nono fell into a brief daze.

After a long time, she finally came back to her senses and reluctantly said:

"That is to say, you are currently engaged in a social revolution, dedicated to introducing Pokémon into human society, allowing people to accept them and give them social status, is that right?"

"That's right." Mingyao nodded, with some joy in his eyes.

As expected of a scholar, everything he said was so formal, as if it was copied from a textbook.With her here to help, it will definitely be a lot easier for me, right?

Thinking of this, Mingyao couldn't help but smile.

In contrast, Nono really wanted to cry.

No, not like this!

I just came here to do internship and complete my thesis. I have never heard of anything like this happening!

I really have no interest in Pokémon or social revolution or anything like that!

There are Pokémon everywhere here, almost the same as in the wild!Why would I enter such a dangerous place!

If I had known earlier I wouldn’t have come here!Is it too late for me to go home? !

After Mingyao was briefly excited, he also noticed the change in Nono's mood.

He thought for a moment and said comfortingly:

"Miss Nono, you don't want to be stuck in your degree because you can't complete the thesis, right?"

Chapter 12 Uncle Magamu is really well-intentioned and sincere

Well, Mingyao admitted that the sentence pattern "You don't want xxx either" doesn't really sound like something you should say to comfort someone.He only said this after staying up so late that his brain was rusty.

But what he said was like water that was thrown out and could not be taken back. After hearing his words, Nono's face immediately changed. He leaned back and hugged himself with both hands, and said nervously:

"Are you threatening me?"

"No, no, no, I definitely didn't mean that." Mingyao pinched his brow, waved his hands slightly awkwardly, coughed twice and said, "I just want to say that your identity here is just a Intern, right?”

"Uh, yes..." Nono hesitated and added: Before coming here, I estimated that I might stay here for half a year to a year..."

But after seeing what I saw today, I wish I could take a boat back at night - she added in her mind.

"Yes, so you don't actually need to care too much about the specific development of the Pokémon League in the future - after all, you are just here to intern for a period of time, right?"

Mingyao spread his hands: "I will not force you to pay or sacrifice anything for our cause. The contract we signed remains unchanged. You work for me, and I will prepare food and accommodation for you, equal exchange, right?"

Well, considering that the workload may be a little over [-] million... If you need to work overtime, of course I will pay you overtime, whether it is cash or the information you need for research, I will try my best to provide it for you. .

After your thesis is completed, you can leave here at any time, and I will never force you to stay here. "

Nuonuo blinked and made sure that the other party did not hide the threatening words at the beginning or end of the sentence. He sat up slightly and said with doubts in his tone:

"Are you comforting me?"

"Yes, if I scare you away, where can I find someone to back me up... Well, no, I mean, you don't need to be too scared."

Mingyao coughed twice again: "As your immediate superior, I will absolutely guarantee your safety when you are in Zhuqing Village and even the entire Xicui area. Whether it's a Pokémon or an ordinary bandit or something else, I You won't let them hurt you.

This is my responsibility and my obligation.

Of course, if you are really too scared and don’t want to stay here any longer, I won’t force you to stay and can help you arrange the fastest boat back to Patia.Of course, we will pay for the boat ticket...

What do you think? "

Nono hesitated for a moment.

On the one hand, she could see that the young chairman in front of her, who could not tell whether he was a boy or a young man, was very sincere (of course she would not know until much later that he had received professional acting training), and the conditions given by him were not bad.

On the other hand, she is actually not that afraid of Pokémon.

Yes, she can't really be said to be particularly afraid of Pokémon.

Although we often hear news about Pokémon hurting people and destroying town buildings, Nono herself is not one of those victims, nor are her relatives and friends.

She has never personally come into contact with Pokémon, and all her impressions come from hearsay, so her fear of them is mostly based on herd mentality.

Although the fear caused by this herd mentality has been fermented for more than ten years and has become deeply rooted in her heart, the degree is not particularly serious.

If she really had the experience of being harmed by Pokémon, she would never have chosen to come to the Xicui area, a place with many wild Pokémon.

Anyway, I'm here now... How about staying here for a while first and giving it a try?

If you really can't accept it, just leave.

After struggling for a moment, Nono finally nodded slowly: "I understand... Then please let me try it first."

Mingyao was immediately overjoyed. He took out a wooden name tag that he had prepared a long time ago from his desk, quickly wrote the words "Intern Affairs Secretary" on it with a pen, and handed it to Nono with a smile: " We are not some kind of devil. You just came here this morning and you are tired from traveling. It is not too late to take a rest and recuperate your energy before getting back to work.

Okay, how about you go to your dormitory to rest for half a day and try the special snacks in the village? Then come back to me in the afternoon and I will tell you about our work in general. "

Nuonuo took the name tag and hesitated for a moment: "Then I'd rather be respectful than obey... But, where is my dormitory?"

"Well...it's okay. I'll have someone take you there."

Mingyao thought for a while, stood up and shouted loudly out the window:

"Qi Yun! Stop trying to fish out there! Come here and take the little girl to the dormitory to settle down!"

Immediately, a figure flashed out from the intersection and said with a smile:

"Got it!"

—One hundred thousand volts—

"Really? It turns out that the scholar girl named Nuonuo arrived today? There were too many people at that time, and I didn't even recognize her."

Magamu sat on the chair of Yuman Pavilion, took a sip of tea leisurely, and said slowly: "But this is good, isn't it?

At least after the kid joins the work, Mingyao should finally be freed from the document hell.

In this way, some of the shelved things he originally wrote in the plan can finally be pushed forward. "

"...Why didn't I see that you were so evil-minded before?"

Shi Yue snorted, took out one or two dishes of side dishes, and threw them casually in front of Magamu.
