Pokémon League Chronicles/Farming, Pokémon Trainer!

"I understand, I understand, you just want me not to inquire about irrelevant things, and only provide you with valid and worthwhile information, right?" Bage raised his hands to express surrender: "Don't bother, I am a professional, no matter what I have experience in this industry and have been working with you for more than ten years, so I know very well what to do and what not to do.”

"What's the result?" The man in the suit said calmly.

Bagger took out a thick envelope and threw it to the other party: "Here is the topographic map inside and outside the celebration village that I personally drew, as well as the daily patrol sequence and guard changing time of their security team - not including the secret sentry. Ha, I have only been here a few days. It will take some more time to find out the situation of the secret whistle.

If you want to take over this village by force, I suggest you start from the northwest.That's the direction where their government departments are located. As long as we win there, everything else will be easy to talk about. "

The man in the suit put away the envelope, shook his head and said: "Conquering by force is just the chairman's bad taste. In terms of efficiency and stability, business methods are more reliable."

"I know." Bage grinned: "So I also brought you news in this regard.

Don't worry, it's good news. "

Chapter 31 Is there any beautiful and rich woman who can reward me for changing my computer?

"According to my investigation, although the various infrastructure facilities in this Zhuqing Village are more developed and advanced than I expected, this advancement is basically limited to this one village.

Outside of this village, the infrastructure in the Xicui area can be said to be a mess, and it is basically primitive ecology.

Not to mention anything else, after they left Zhuqing Village, there was not even a modern cement road that could be opened to traffic - no, not to mention it was open to traffic, even bicycles could not walk on it, and the nearby areas led to other areas The only channel is the small port called "Starting Beach", and there was only one flight every half month before. During this period, the number of flights began to gradually increase.

In addition, their mode of transportation is the purest and most primitive human transportation.

Hey, Mr. Rhine, you are such a smart person, and you have worked in Fox Financial for most of your life. You are familiar with the related business. Of course you know what this means, right? "

The man in a suit whom Bag called Mr. Rhine raised his eyelids slightly: "Are you trying to say that this place has poor transportation and limited information, and even if we use any unconventional means, the news will not reach the ears of the world? "

"Yep!

Although your domineering and arrogant behavior is no secret to the whole world, as far as I know, every "hush fee" is not cheap, right?Wouldn't it be a good thing for you to be able to save such a large amount of cost? "

Rhine frowned slightly and began to carefully consider the gold content of Bage's words.

To be fair, he is actually not the kind of person who particularly likes to use "unconventional means" - that method is barbaric and rough. Although the top chairman likes it very much, Rhine regards himself as a high-end elite in a new era of civilized society. , inwardly disdainful of that kind of violence.

But this does not mean that Bagh's information is of no value to him.

Inconvenient transportation means that even if Zhuqing Village holds large mineral veins, it is difficult to actively communicate with the outside world for trade, and it currently has no stable trading partners.Even if valuable mineral resources are mined, they can only produce them for their own use at most, and there is no way to efficiently convert that precious wealth into money.

To Rhine, Zhuqing Village, which now has unknown mineral veins, is like a child with a few kilograms of priceless gold in his pocket, but he is powerless and stupid.

As long as they take action in time and cut off all signs of their trade with the outside world, the extra ore resources will be just stones to them, without any economic value, and they will not be able to be used in the upcoming commercial battlefield. Arm yourself.

Rhine thought silently and glanced at Bage: "What is the main communication and trade channel between Zhuqing Village and the outside world?"

"It's a small chamber of commerce called the Ginkgo Chamber of Commerce." Bagge said immediately: "Do you need me to help you get a set of their camouflage uniforms? The price is favorable."

"No need. I've heard of that chamber of commerce. They're just a group of small characters fishing in troubled waters in the countryside. It's not easy to ban them." Rhine shook his head contemptuously: "Besides, are you sure they really have what we want? Bar?"

"Confirmed, very confirmed." Bage shook his head: "Although when I asked the villagers, they all said they had not heard of any mines opened by the Galaxy Team, and I did not directly find the location of their mines and transportation. Traces of ore...

but!

As long as you stay in that village for two days, you will know that if a large-scale coal mine had not been found, it would have been absolutely impossible to use electricity so extravagantly and wastefully!Unless the boss of Team Galaxy is crazy and gives benefits to the villagers, this is absolutely unreasonable!

Moreover, I personally heard from a stupid little girl from Team Galaxy that they do have mineral resources now!And very importantly, their current mining methods are still the most primitive manual excavation and collection!

From what I can tell, to the outside world, Team Galaxy’s mining operations in the mines are probably still a secret. Do they have any reason to hide it? "

Rhine nodded slightly.

secret?That's reasonable.

The common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying the jade.The leader of Team Galaxy must also know that once the secret of a large mine here is exposed, it will definitely attract the attention of elite business people like Rhine.In order to embezzle the mineral vein, it is normal to treat it as a secret.

Hmm, it's a pity that the naive leader ignored the possibility of leaking the secret from other sources... How stupid!

But that's fine, everything he does out of his own cleverness will be a stepping stone on the road to Fox Financial's expansion.

"I understand." Rhine flicked the thick envelope filled with information that Bag had thrown to him before: "I am basically satisfied with your report this time, Agent Dolphin Head.

I will return to Fanba City and report everything to the chairman.

And you, please continue to lurk near the Celebration Village until the next docking point arrives.If we obtain new valuable information, such as finding the specific location of the opponent's mineral veins, etc., we will never be stingy with rewards. "

"It's easy to talk. My people and I are all professionals. Don't worry when we do things." Bage said with a smile on his face, crossing his two fat hands in front of him and rubbing them gently: "Then, although it's a little hard to say ...Mr. Rhine, what’s the reward this time?”

Seeing the fat on Bag's hands squeezed together, Rhine couldn't help but frowned and said: "The rewards will be settled based on all your achievements after this operation is over, so stay tuned."

After that, he got back into the canopy of the boat.

The inconspicuous boat suddenly made a few noises and smelled of diesel, and then drove away at an unhurried speed.

After watching the other party slowly leave, Bage gradually put away the smile on his face, shook his head and said:

“In the past, when they asked for compensation, these big bosses in Fanba City would throw out a few suitcases full of banknotes without hesitation. There was no such thing as “settlement later” like now.

Alas, when I heard that these big capital companies in Fanba City were already on the verge of collapse under the constant attacks of emerging companies in Feiyun City, I laughed that it was absolutely false news. But now they can hardly even pay. It's up... I'm afraid the market is really going to change.

I have eaten this food in Fanba City for most of my life. I originally thought I could eat it for a lifetime, but I didn’t expect it to be finished so quickly...

Tsk, is it too late for me to introduce myself to the new bosses in Feiyun City? "

Chapter 32 Or Brother Fu can do it

Time flies so fast, in just the blink of an eye, Nono has already stayed in the celebration village for two weeks.

After Mingyao handed over the long-standing work to the Galaxy Team cadre named Xingyue, Nono's life suddenly became easier.

Although many new tasks and documents appear on her desk every day, as she becomes more proficient in the work of the Pokémon League, and Xiaozhao, who was said to have been busy with some work out of town before, comes back to help share the pressure, she now The time required is getting less and less, and I have successfully escaped the endless overtime hell.

The extra free time can not only be used for her to work on her thesis, but also to walk around the celebration village and get to know more people.

For example, Dr. Laben, a friend of her mentor and a well-known scholar who introduced her to the celebration village for internship, is a carefree and approachable optimist who can make coffee in a beaker in her office.After Noonuo took the initiative to visit him to express his gratitude, he entertained Noonuo very warmly, and even dug out several academic books from the furnace in his office that were difficult to obtain in other areas and gave them to her as a token of his gratitude to Noonuo. Nuo's encouragement.

Although it was somewhat rude to put precious academic materials in the furnace, Nono accepted them gratefully.

There is also Listia, this girl who is said to be the chairman's distant sister is usually invisible, but when she appears at the alliance headquarters, she will always generously share all kinds of melons with Nono and Xiaozhao. Fruit snacks - according to her, according to the deal between her and the chairman, the latter will be responsible for paying for these things in the end. They just need to eat happily.

What surprised Noonuo was that although the mind of this cute doll-like girl seemed to be more naive than that of ordinary children - more strange to be precise, her knowledge was very profound, whether it was mathematics or science. She can talk about everything from culture to literary classics, and her knowledge is even wider than that of Nono, a trainee scholar.

Well, I don’t know if it’s because she has such a wide range of knowledge, but she occasionally utters one or two explosive words or phrases during the chat, which makes Nono, after a brief shock, always couldn’t help but doubt the chairman’s treatment of her. Is the education reasonable?

In addition, the people who interact with Nono the most are the senior Xiaozhao who stays in the same office, and Mr. Shi Er next door.

Needless to say, the former is a very competent and outstanding senior.At work, he helped Nuonuo explain the various celebrations in the village. After get off work, he would even come to her to give her cotton long johns. He said with a silly smile that it was a cold time in the Xicui area, so don’t freeze...

Nono was so moved by his dedicated and meticulous care that he forgot that the other person's biological age was actually younger than his own.

The other Mr. Shi Er, relatively speaking, is much colder.

Except for work needs, he would not take the initiative to communicate with Nono (or anyone). He would just quietly complete the work he needed in the office next door.

According to Nono's understanding, Shi Yi is responsible for most of the daily chores in the operation of the Pokémon League, from food arrangements to daily cleaning to the management of the "work-study students". These daily chores are all done by him. Let's do it again - according to the chairman, although the Pokémon Alliance has only been established for more than two months, Shi Yi has several years of experience in this area, and he is also the best at curing the Pokémon League besides him. A group of "work-study students".

Although Nono didn't quite understand why those work-study students went out of their way to "treat", seeing how worried Shi Ye was when he mentioned this topic, she wisely didn't inquire too much about it.

Occasionally, Nono would take a walk in the village alone, watching from a distance the "work-study students" doing some work with their Pokémon, such as sweeping the floor, carrying goods, or helping to plow the fields, and watch them during their breaks. They gathered around Qi Yun from time to time, and never tired of holding that strange competition called Pokémon Battle.

After watching it a few times, Nono gradually let go of the prejudice that "Pokémon battles are a terrifying and cruel fight" (mainly because no one or Pokémon seemed to be injured after a long time of fighting. By the next time, They were very lively during the game) and classified it as an ordinary sports activity.

Well, anyway, I still couldn't understand why those boys liked playing basketball so much when I was in school. I don't understand why they like playing Pokémon battles so much here. Is it normal?

Slowly, Nono gradually began to feel that life in Zhuqing Village seemed to be quite good.

This place is not as scary as she first thought. The Pokémon that can walk on the road are basically safe and harmless. Each one can take out a safety license issued by the alliance (many even Nono personally reviewed and approved).After putting aside their preconceptions and taking a closer look, some Pokémon can even be called cute. It is not difficult to understand why even ordinary villagers who have no interest in Pokémon battles like to keep them around. .

In addition, the air here is fresh and the environment is beautiful. When you look up at night after being tired from working or reading documents, you can often see the clear stars and moon in the sky. This is something you cannot see in other areas that are seriously polluted by industrialization. A scene unique to this "rural area".

Sometimes she feels a little happy in her heart that she can go to such a leisurely and comfortable place to conduct internship and academic research (and get paid), which is better than she originally expected to live a hard life of saving money and doing research in a backward countryside. much better.

When I came here, I was still wondering which oil lamp would save money. But who would have thought that after coming here, I would be able to use electricity as much as possible?

Nono's life can be very relaxed now. If nothing happens, she should be able to successfully complete her thesis within half a year and return to the Padia region in high spirits...

In other words, would it be a good idea to simply settle in the Xicui area in the future?Anyway, there is also Dr. Laben, a well-known scholar here, and you can do research with him.

Then, if nothing else, it's time for an accident.

On the 15th day after Nono came to Zhuqing Village, a huge uninvited guest visited the Xicui area.

It was a huge steamship, world-class in terms of scale and technology. Most of the locals in the Xicui area had never seen such a huge ship in their lives.

It appeared at the port of the starting beach in the early morning, and the gilded flags on the deck looked dazzling and flamboyant under the sunlight.

However, the most ostentatious thing is the pattern and text on the flag.

"Fox Financial".

Chapter 33 Provocation and Arrogance

News of the steamer's appearance on Start Beach quickly spread throughout the Celebration Village.

Whether it is in the Xicui area or Zhuqing Village, the largest form of transportation that people usually see is a double-decker wooden sailboat that appears two to three times a month.

The majestic giant ship, which is almost as tall as the Galaxy Team headquarters building, has its own majestic and extraordinary momentum. The upper and lower metal shells of the hull shine in the morning sun. For those who have never seen the "countryside" For people, it is simply a dimensionality reduction blow.

Soon, the news of the appearance of "a very big, big, powerful, and powerful ship" spread like wildfire between Zhuqing Village and its surrounding villages and settlements.In less than an hour, many people came to the beach for no reason to "see the world" and marveled at the ship that was far beyond their knowledge.

Two hours after docking, the ship finally slowly lowered its ladder and began to disembark.

To be precise, a group of people!

Dozens of people wearing identical black suits immediately ran down the ladder as soon as it was stabilized.

Their movements were uniform. After landing, they lined up in two rows facing each other at a very fast speed. Their bodies were straight and their hands were behind their backs. They looked well-trained and had been rehearsed for a long time.

After all the men in black stood firm, a stern-looking middle-aged man slowly appeared from the ship and walked off leisurely.

He walked steadily and neatly. He didn't care at all that the villagers watching the theater pointed at him and whispered to him. He walked with style through the road paved for him by two rows of people in black.

When he passed the last pair of people, the people in black immediately took action again and quickly formed a semicircle formation, surrounding the man in the middle without obstructing his sight and movement.

The man walked towards the place where the villagers gathered. He cleared his throat and said loudly:

“I am the executive director of Fox Financial in Sail City, Rhine.

Are there any of you who can represent Team Galaxy or Celebration Village? "

This group of uninvited guests suddenly appeared on the starting beach, and of course Team Galaxy would react.

Two members of Team Galaxy who had been sent to conduct advance investigation and had been observing the crowd for a long time immediately emerged.

The old-looking member of Team Galaxy bowed slightly to Rhine and said, "Hello, Mr. Rhine, I am a member of the security team of Team Galaxy. You can call me..."

He only said half of what he said, but he saw Rhine frowning and raising his hand slightly. The group of people in black behind him immediately stepped forward and surrounded them.

The men in black were tall and strong, and they were surrounded like an airtight wall.Even if you don't do anything, just standing there will release invisible pressure to the people around you.

Another younger member of the Galaxy team suddenly panicked: "You, what are you doing?! I'm warning you not to act recklessly..."

The mature Galaxy team member gently tugged on his sleeve. After the latter calmed down, he took a deep breath and forced a smile:

"Mr. Rhine, what do you mean by this?"

"What I just said is, is there anyone here who can represent the Galaxy Team or the Celebration Village?" Rhine directly ignored his words and said to himself: "And you are just an ordinary member of a subordinate department of the Galaxy Team. right?

Then, you only represent yourself, and you are not qualified to talk to me.

Go to your leader, or find someone who speaks with enough weight, and ask him to talk to me. "

Rhine's tone of voice was cold and arrogant, causing the nearby villagers to burst into an uproar, and the young Galaxy team member became furious on the spot.

"You bastard... don't go too far!" The young man subconsciously reached for his waist and grabbed it, gritting his teeth and said: "I tell you, the duty of our security team is to keep out the bad guys like you. , to prevent you from polluting the air in the village!"

His hand had already squeezed the Poké Ball around his waist, and he almost threw his partner out, but the veteran Team Galaxy member grabbed his wrist.

"senior?!"

The young man suddenly looked in disbelief, but the veteran Galaxy team member just shook his head gently and whispered in his ear:

"Don't be impulsive... These people have a lot of background."

Having said that, he actually leaned toward Laing in front of everyone, and said neither humble nor arrogant: "Okay, I understand, Fox Financial from Saiba City, the leader is Mr. Laing, right?

I remember your name.

Please wait here for a moment. I will return to Zhuqing Village to report your unexpected visit to my superiors. "

After saying that, he forcibly dragged the unconvinced young man and walked step by step towards the direction of Zhuqing Village.

But before he took a few steps, Rhine suddenly stopped him again.
