A Picture Composed of Sound

Chapter 60 A Picture Composed of Sound

"No, boss, I'm just really not convinced."

Naz said, "He's a strange person, like the most annoying kind of riddle. No matter what method you use to solve it, you can't get the answer."

"That's normal; many people share the same thoughts as Bixias."

"He could have earned a high position through his own abilities, but he insisted on pursuing legends, and in such an unacceptable way."

Giovanni twirled the Poké Ball in his hand: "The white-haired monkey you mentioned won't settle for mediocrity. I have a feeling we'll be interacting even more often in the future."

"Perfect timing. You'll be in charge of attending the Johto Joy Academy press conference this time. Try your best to bring me back a big order."

Sakaki said, "The League has already leaked information that the Potions Project is being spearheaded by the League and Joey, and they're openly soliciting bids. You should handle this personally."

Since the league is taking the lead, the identity of gym leader is no longer needed. The people who attended the press conference this time were all in purely commercial capacity.

"Silver, Devon, and all the other familiar faces from the mall are here."

The main product of the Medicine Bottle Project, you could say it has some technological content, but not much.

The key point is that this is an item that can be incorporated into basic medical care, and it is not limited by regional environment, which means the profit margin is huge.

Following this line of thought, Joey and the Alliance are currently developing a second-generation vial, a special version capable of storing healing fluctuations.

"Anyway, once you get there, you can go find that young man named Zhu Suihan, but prioritize your work, understand?"

Naz nodded, understanding that this was already Sakaki's way of showing consideration for his subordinates.

Otherwise, logically speaking, such a matter should definitely be handled by sending someone who is not influenced by personal emotions, otherwise it could easily have a negative impact on the group's development.

"So the press conference and investment promotion work are being carried out simultaneously, and all within the academy?"

Zhu Suihan, holding the incense burner in her hands, asked, "Is it the kind of negotiation where the price is so precise down to the last penny that it's considered a trivial matter?"

"Yes, the family said that the faster the medicine bottles are distributed, the better, so it's not a bad idea to leverage our commercial resources appropriately."

Qiao Yijing said, "Don't worry, kid. You'll definitely get what's rightfully yours. I'll take care of it for you."

"By the way, are you attending the press conference?"

"No, I'd rather go to class."

The morning classes had already ended, and Zhu Suihan was called over by Qiao Yijing with a phone call.

The morning's combat lessons were between students, and considering that future students would not be facing standard field battles, the assessment standard was open-field combat.

This was a complete rout for Zhu Suihan. He was responsible for taking care of Chansey, while Lapras took care of the opposing trainers.

Of course, the reverse is also possible, but we should still save face for our classmates; a real fight seems a bit excessive.

Following the physical education class, Zhu Suihan received her second "get-out-of-jail-free card" from her teacher: "Do whatever you want."

Unfortunately, including these version-insensitive monsters in daily combat training would be a severe blow to the mental and physical well-being of the other trainees.

"By the way, Dean, could you give me another certificate? I feel those tree fruits are very useful to me, and it would be even better if there were crops growing next to them."

He and Chenglong tried the dessert, Snow Skin Mooncake, which is made from ten-year-old tree fruit into a rich and full-bodied jam.

However, the final product was not very satisfactory. Although the other materials were the best available, it was still far from the quality of the tree fruit.

The main problem is that the quality of the glutinous rice flour isn't good enough, while the milk and butter are from large milk tanks.

"In principle, this kind of condition is not convenient to include in the negotiation terms, but don't worry, the alliance and the family will make up for it."

Qiao Yijing smiled somewhat strangely: "Just wait a little longer, the final quantity will definitely satisfy you."

Zhu Suihan:?

I understand. Since he doesn't plan to use his own treasure trove, the dean is probably going to dig up someone else's back mountain.

As for her target, it is very likely that she is one of the elderly people the dean mentioned when she enrolled, the ones who "tricked her into becoming the dean."

Zhu Suihan's phone vibrated. She picked it up and saw that it was an unfamiliar number.

"Director, the staff from the League should be here to deliver the Pokémon egg to me by now. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

"Go ahead, and make sure you get plenty of rest."

"Hello?"

"Hello, Trainer Zhu Suihan, I'm an employee of League Express. I'm currently near the administration building. Would you like me to deliver this to your dormitory?"

"No need, just come to the entrance of the administration building, I happen to be here."

"Okay, goodbye."

Looking downstairs towards the entrance, Zhu Suihan saw a small truck come to a steady stop, and a young man in work clothes got out.

That is, the age when someone has just started working after graduating from university.

"Pokémon egg, please confirm and sign for it."

The deliveryman brought over a suitcase-sized metal box. When Zhu Suihan opened it, she found that it was mostly filled with devices for fixing incubators.

Oh right, there's also a book called "Basic Guide to Raising Little Fairy Milk" in the corner, along with a tourist guide to Galar, with a very grand cover featuring the steam city of Mech City.

Add to that the Gigantamax Duraludon next to it, and you can only say that the unique features have been perfectly highlighted.

Zhu Suihan:?

Now, the Marocomón Group seems to be in charge in Galar, so isn't this travel guide a bit too deliberate?

As expected of you, President Rose.

This opportunistic propaganda effort rivals the cunning of corrupt officials in ancient times when it came to accumulating wealth.

That book on raising basic Pokémon is probably a guide for other trainers who chose the Galar region, all for the sake of that travel guide.

Trainers who can participate in the event are either already rising stars or, like Lance, from wealthy families. Appropriate promotion to other leagues is perfectly acceptable.

You've really got the hang of the relationship between vinegar and dumplings.

Zhu Suihan signed to confirm, and then solemnly took out the incubator from the box. Little Fairy's egg lay quietly on the soft cushion.

A quick glance at the incubator's electronic screen revealed that, based on the monitoring data of life fluctuations, the little fairy milk inside would be ready for market in about three days.

"Three days is a good amount of time."

There's enough time for Zhu Suihan to prepare the nutrient solution. As for photography equipment, all you need is a tripod; you can record it with your phone.

Rocket Group's technology is trustworthy.

Zhu Suihan pondered his future image for a moment, then suddenly burst out laughing.

Even if I need to hold an incense burner in one hand and hug an incubator tightly in the other, I, Zhu Suihan, am still invincible in the world!

That's right, as long as I run fast enough and can't touch the enemy, that's a kind of invincibility!

"Waaah, waaah!"

Let me see!

The dragon ran out again, eagerly bringing its head close to the incubator, and began to hum a beautiful lullaby.

From now on, Longlong, I'll be your big sister!

Please give me your guidance, Little Fairy!

"Looking forward to your arrival, little one."

Holding the incubator, Zhu Suihan sat on the back of the dragon, looking at the sky and feeling the faint rhythm. The sense of peace brought her immense tranquility.

Even Chenglong's usual habit of speeding and increasing Zhu Suihan's intensity has disappeared.

The dragon quietly drove towards the dormitory area, without even a ripple appearing on the water, as if it were using superpowers to hover above the water at an extremely low altitude.

This isn't some kind of superpower; it's just a way to let the little ones inside the egg hear more from the outside world.

This can be understood as prenatal education.

The sounds of other Pokémon leaping out of the water not far away, and the splashing of some energetic little creatures racing on the water.

The big-toothed raccoon, with a stick in its mouth, wiggles its little bottom and paws as it swims past the dragon in a line.

The dancing swans are teaching ducklings to fly with their graceful movements. Each long call is different, perhaps praising or instructing.

"Gala!"

In the distance, you can still hear the roar of the Gyarados soaring through the sky. It's probably provoking Pidgeot and its flying bird Pokémon again. I wonder if there's something wrong with it.

Sound paints a vibrant picture.

"Chenglong, take good care of the little sister at home. I need to make nutrient solution."

“Wuwu!”

Chenglong skillfully turned on the TV with his head, then stood behind the incubator like a security guard in a suit, his main role being to protect it.

"Fairy-type resources? Does Rocket Corporation really have such a wide range of businesses?"

Given the significant financial power, Rocket Group once again dispatched Quick Dragon to serve Zhu Suihan.

Aside from some that can be used directly, some resources need to be taken to the laboratory tomorrow to extract the fairy energy.

"No, I think I can try direct extraction."

The prerequisite is that I need to upgrade my incense burner again, which will probably require another batch of materials.

Fortunately, the profits from the medicine bottle technology are enough to cover these expenses, so we don't have to ask Ma Zhishi for money like before.

"A design for an energy extractor that can be used in a portable version for incense burners."

[Research points required, transmission commencing]

He covered his forehead to get used to the feeling. Since the last experience, and with the high-quality tree fruits he had been eating these past two days, Zhu Suihan's resistance had improved a lot.

"really."

I suspect that my incense burner will also become a major energy consumer in the future, in addition to being a major energy consumer myself.

No matter how much Chenglong eats, he's probably only third in terms of appetite at home right now.

Incense burner has successfully moved up to second place, and it will probably remain the eternal runner-up like Green Brother.

"Although it can still be charged directly, the power consumption may be a bit higher than expected."

Zhu Suihan pondered this question. As long as he could ensure that his energy was fully charged, a short trip to the wilderness would definitely be no problem.

However, one should always consider unforeseen circumstances, such as finding a Pokémon with sufficient power to solve the power supply problem.

Electabuzz seems to have that potential.

To put it dramatically, Xiaoxiannai is the future supplier of high-end ingredients, while Zhu Suihan and Chenglong are considered the biggest and second biggest foodies.

Oh right, they could barely be considered head chef and sous chef.

"I wonder what kind of personality my little fairy will have."

Zhu Suihan couldn't help but laugh as he skillfully removed the pits and peels from the tree fruits.

"It's impossible that he's still a foodie."

"If it evolves in the future, it might become the first Alcremie that can eat its Gigantamax form directly in its normal form?"
