Rotom's Compendium, Xia Family's Water

Chapter 55 Rotom's Compendium, Xia Family's Water

After hearing Natsuki's account of Rotom, Natsuki and Kiki Sori were utterly shocked.

As the top executive of a cross-regional logistics group, and with a very special status and direct ties to the alliance, he naturally knows many secrets that ordinary people don't, and can make connections to various aspects with just a few words.

The couple were naturally aware of Rotom's existence.

They just never imagined that Rotom, a Pokémon, could be developed in so many ways.

Come to think of it, whether it was a coincidence or not, they had the privilege of witnessing the extremely special Rotom Compendium at the banquet just now.

What his son is talking about now is a more complete Rotom industry chain.

As a smart person, you can't miss a great deal of business opportunity.

Xia He and Mu Xiuli already had an idea, but they needed to conduct in-depth investigations and gather enough intelligence.

After all, this is no small matter. If the Rotom industry chain becomes feasible and enters all aspects of human life, it will overturn the original way of life of people in the current era.

However, if this project succeeds, it is essential to seize the initiative. Even if related research and development have already taken place in other regions, they can still implement it in the Kanto region.

The problem is that the Xia family can't possibly handle such a large piece of the pie.

If we don't share the profits, the implementation will face numerous obstacles.

Furthermore, regional alliances are unlikely to stand idly by.

A monopoly is not allowed.

"Son, where did you get these ideas? If your mother and I hadn't seen Rotom's encyclopedia last night, we wouldn't have been able to imagine that Rotom could be involved in so many fields," Xia He said.

Xia Mu was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

"Dad, did you and Mom see Rotom's Pokédex?"

"Yes, at last night's dinner, Dr. Mulan from the Galar region, along with her granddaughter and assistant, demonstrated the wonders of the Rotom Dex. According to them, the development of the Rotom Dex in the Galar region has reached its final stage. A major purpose of their trip to the Kanto region this time is to improve the Dex information. After the testing is completed, this Dex will be distributed to the whole world," Xia He said with emotion.

"Speaking of which, your dad and I were just discussing on our way back that we're planning to arrange for one of our family's small cruise ships to provide them with some assistance," Mu Xiuli said, while also bringing up another matter. "After all, they're coming to the Madoka City Research Institute to take over Uchiki's work, and we'll be seeing each other frequently for the next year."

"We invested in the research institute because of Uchigi back then. Now that Uchigi is gone, we still have to worry about the institute's affairs." Xia He shook his head, feeling quite helpless.

Xia Mu could understand. After all, research institutes belong to the alliance's industry, and when local corporations invest, it's basically like giving away money, which has been a considerable expense in previous years.

However, there are drawbacks as well as advantages.

This mere nominal appointment will greatly benefit the group's future development.

This is similar to Xia Mu's previous life in the world, where private enterprises, once they grow big and strong, inevitably have to contribute to society and the country, no matter how much or how little, and there's no escaping that.

The same applies in the Pokémon world.

"Dad, you don't need to think like that. Even if the research institute doesn't make a profit, we should be able to double the money in other areas. Besides, our family isn't short of money. Just consider it publicity for our family." Xia Mu was very clear-headed and said frankly.

Xia He listened to Xia Mu's words and laughed with satisfaction: "That's true, but many things are more complicated than you think."

Xia He paused, then exchanged a glance with Mu Xiuli, smiled at each other, and spoke again:

"Son, after this experience of falling into the water, you have indeed matured a lot and grown up a lot. These past few days, your father and I have been discussing and planning to use some practical actions to train you from now on."

"Perfect timing. Since you're planning to go on a trip tomorrow, my plan is that while you're traveling, you should also complete the task I've given you..."

"You'll need to get involved in our business, and you'll also need to get to know some essential people..."

Xia He's words were very direct, and Xia Mu was once again forced to learn a lesson.

This late-night heart-to-heart talk backfired spectacularly, and I ended up digging my own grave.

However, Xia Mu was somewhat aware that he couldn't escape it.

Xia Mu discovered that her family background was not as simple as she had initially thought. Through her spare time, she researched and investigated, and gained some understanding of it.

Take the Xia family for example. Even if they aren't the top-tier wealthy families in the Kanto region, they are definitely one of the best in the Kanto Islands.

The Xia Group has branches not only in the Kanto region, but also in the Orange Islands, the Chengdu region, and other areas, and is controlled by every member of the Xia family.

Although his parents were directors of Xia's Logistics Group and held very high positions, their power was only at the regional level. Moreover, Xia's Logistics was just one of the many businesses of the Xia family.

During their conversation, Xia Mu accepted Xia He's first request: to go to Red Lotus Island, he had to first find Xia Bo, his great-uncle.

Xia Bo is the head of the Red Lotus Dojo and is also one of the true power holders of the Xia family.

Xia Bo is one of the three people in charge of the Xia family.

In short, my future won't be like that of the time travelers in those novels, free and unrestrained.

Four words to describe it: immense pressure.

In his previous life, he wasn't a big shot, and the original owner of this body lived like an ordinary person.

Now all the pressure is on him.

……

In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.

Xia Mu and his Pokémon were full of energy and enthusiasm.

Even Gardevoir, who only joined the team yesterday, was forcibly infected by the atmosphere of anticipation.

Xia Mu is starting a new life, but she doesn't force it. Because she has suffered emotional trauma, it's better to let things take their natural course.

Speaking of which, Xia Mu felt mentally exhausted from last night's conversation. Fortunately, she had thought things through clearly, so she didn't have insomnia. Otherwise, she probably wouldn't be in such good spirits now.

He will do his best to do what his parents ask him to do, but as for the outcome, or rather, the choice he has to make, it is that he will not need to depend on the Xia family in the future.

After all, he was a transmigrator with a cheat-like simulator.

The law of the jungle applies to every world. Xia Mu knew that as long as he possessed absolute power, he could surpass anyone and no one could control his thoughts.

Today's breakfast was very plentiful.

This was Natsuki's first long trip away from home, so Mu Xiu Li got up early to prepare.

At the same time, Gardevoir was also welcomed, and delicious snacks were specially prepared for it.

Unlike her father, her mother even apologized to Gardevoir for forcibly capturing it.

Because she accepted Natsuki, Gardevoir received some emotional healing and did not dislike Natsuki, accepting her apology.

However, Gardevoir still harbors hostility towards Xiahe, which will take time to subside.
