He then stayed in the courtyard.
Yongxin and I looked at the flowers and plants.
"Can I go and visit?" Yongxin finally asked after a long pause, filled with curiosity about the Origin Secret Realm that Bai Hong had mentioned.
"Of course, but I'll need your help to set up a safe and stable space teleportation device to bring the network cables, power lines, and water pipes into the Origin Secret Realm." Bai Hong didn't want to live like a caveman.
Regardless of where you live.
Water, electricity, and the internet are all indispensable.
With a space teleportation device, one can live more comfortably without worrying about running out of water, electricity, or internet.
Moreover, if the ranch has a good harvest in the future, some of the crops that need to be sold can be transported to Yongxin via a space teleportation device and sold through the department store platform.
This saves a lot of effort.
"Your idea is very good."
Yongxin had to admire Bai Hong, who had actually thought of using a space teleportation device to solve several problems, and even took into account the future need to sell some agricultural products.
Where is the sewage pipe?
His tone suddenly changed.
It doesn't sound like a joke.
"Sewage pipe?"
“Yes, since you’ve already decided to install water, electricity, and internet cables, why not also solve the sewage pipe problem at the same time?”
"Thanks to your reminder, I almost forgot about the sewage pipes. Wastewater from daily life cannot be discharged into the Origin Secret Realm. Let's build a sewage system that connects to the outside world."
“If you don’t mind, you can connect to my sewage system, as well as the water, electricity, and internet.” Yongxin offered, so Bai Hong wouldn’t have to buy another house.
"Row!"
He did not refuse.
Friends are meant to be a nuisance.
Water, electricity, and internet fees will be paid later.
After signing the contract, Bai Hong and A Lei agreed to come back the next morning to take away the Pokémon construction team. Before leaving, Bai Hong checked the team and found five Machamp, three Ironhide, and four Stranglethorn.
Superhuman strength and iron-boned earthen beings are relatively common in the construction industry, while cunning tengu are almost nonexistent.
After A-Lei explained, I learned that these were carpenters he had specially trained. Two of them, the cunning Tengu, were excellent carpenters, especially skilled at cutting wood with their leaf blades. The other two cunning Tengu could help out, sanding or assembling the wood.
It's approaching evening.
There's no time to get back now.
Unable to resist Yongxin's warm invitation, Bai Hong stayed at his house for the night and planned to return to Baitan City the next morning to buy timber.
After dealing with the department store matters briefly, Yongxin took him out to eat. During the meal, he said, "I never expected that you would become the strongest champion in your first World Championship, realizing a dream that I had before but could not achieve."
"I was just lucky."
"No, you are very strong!"
"There should be no alcohol in the juice."
"You mean I got drunk from drinking juice? No, I'm not drunk! The day you defeated Dan, I wished I could fly there."
Bai Hong looked helplessly at Yongxin, listening to him talk endlessly about his feelings and experiences back then, the corners of his mouth always turned up.
He had a very happy night.
After all, it's been a long time since I've confided in anyone.
next morning.
I went to A Lei's house as agreed.
Yongxin somehow found a pickup truck.
"Come up!"
He urged Bai Hong to get in the car quickly.
Then I went to pick up the Pokémon construction team.
"Is this your pickup truck?"
"No, it was borrowed."
"This pickup truck is really good; it can carry so many Pokémon. We'll arrive in Ebony City at noon and head straight to the lumber market."
Chapter 17 Rescuing Two Honeydew Dragons
The pickup truck was driving on a country road.
The surrounding scenery is beautiful.
The pickup truck had four seats in the front, which could only accommodate Bai Hong, Yong Xin, and three Iron-Boned Earthlings. The five Mighty Ones and four Cunning Heavenly Dogs had to squeeze into the open cargo box in the back.
The city of White Sands is not too far from the city of Miare. You can reach the lumber market there by noon. You will definitely need to buy lumber to build a duplex cabin, and good lumber is not cheap at all.
Houses built with red bricks and concrete don't fit into Dragon Nest Ranch. Living in the Origin Secret Realm doesn't require protection from wolves or other ferocious beasts, so wooden houses are obviously more comfortable, and they're also less expensive to build.
I spent two hours browsing the timber market.
He chose the best cedar wood.
After paying, I was planning to take the Pokémon construction team out for a meal, since it would take some time for the movers to load the wood onto the truck. But to my surprise, the owner called over two Rhyhorn and two smaller Plumeria.
Not only the one-horned rhinoceros, but also the plesiosaur has a cargo frame attached to its body. Simply place the cedar wood on it and it can be transported from the warehouse to the transport vehicle, so there is no need for so many porters.
The armored rhinoceros looks like a rhinoceros, with a sharp horn on its head, incredibly tough skin, strong bones, and short limbs. Because its brain is small, it can only think about one thing at a time, so it often acts as a porter, working hard to move timber.
Fenrir evolves from Berrybug, is a Grass/Dragon type, and has an average height of 40 centimeters. It is a relatively rare Pokémon in the Kalos region, but it is unknown why it appears here.
These two Ponmiosaurus were unusually large. Although they were only slightly smaller than the one-horned rhinoceros, they still looked very big, since the one-horned rhinoceros had an average height of one meter.
Bai Hong estimated that the two Fengmi dragons were over 80 centimeters tall, which means they were several times larger than normal Fengmi dragons.
Something is wrong!
It's too big.
Where can you find such a large fengmilong?
Could it be that she was given hormones?
The fruit lace on their backs was crushed by the shipping crates, and the sweet scent they emitted often attracted some bug Pokémon.
Ignoring the protests of the two pleco dragons, the porters continued to pile cedar logs onto the cargo crates on their backs.
Do it.
The movers have it easier now.
But it's Fengmilong who suffers.
The one-horned rhinoceros has a small brain and doesn't think much, making it best suited for all sorts of dirty and tiring work. But the plesiosaur is different; it suffers so much when it's being exploited that it seems to have become numb.
"It's too heavy!"
Bai Hong couldn't stand it anymore.
Call the boss over to find out what's going on.
It turns out that these two phlox were used by a furniture factory in the Galar region to pay off their final payment. They had no money to pay and could only use them to pay off their final payment.
The owner couldn't collect the final payment after six months, so he had no choice but to take away the two oversized Flounder dragons. He originally planned to sell them to a breeding farm, but the breeding farm found that they had almost no fighting ability and refused to take them.
Left with no other choice, the owner secretly took them to the black market to sell, but unexpectedly, the black market vendors bargained down the price.
Because the black market vendors were haggling so badly, they decided to keep them around and do the dirty and hard work of moving timber with their own rhinoceros. It would be a waste for such a big animal not to work; that was the owner's original thought.
Selling it at a low price won't recover the cost.
It's better to keep it.
"Can you tell me how much of the final payment the furniture factory in the Galar region used to offset the cost of these two Ponmy Dragons?"
Bai Hong thought that since Flounder was a Dragon-type Pokémon, if he could buy it from the shopkeeper, he could take it back to Dragon Valley Ranch and raise it. Dragon Valley Ranch couldn't be without a Dragon-type Pokémon.
Although the duplex wooden house for living is not yet completed, since we have decided to raise dragons in the future, let's save these two Flounder Dragons. It's such a good dragon-type Pokémon, and they're just using them as porters. They really don't know what's good for them.
"Not much, just 400,000 Alliance Coins. The furniture factory in the Galar region is doing poorly and is about to go bankrupt. Where would they get the money to pay the balance? From what you're saying, are you going to spend money to buy these two Honeydew Dragons?" The shopkeeper quickly realized what was going on.
"Yes, can you make it cheaper?"
Bai Hong felt that 400,000 Alliance Coins was a bit too expensive. If he hadn't recently become the strongest champion and received a prize of 1.2 million, he probably wouldn't have had the money to build a duplex wooden house.
I spent 200,000 League Coins hiring a Pokémon construction team and nearly 300,000 League Coins buying cedar wood. I only have 700,000 left, so I'm thinking of getting a discount if possible.
"Here's 300,000 Alliance Coins for you."
"Too expensive, 150,000 Alliance Coins."
"Cut it in half?"
The boss felt a chill run down his spine.
Thinking that they were going to never come back anyway, it would be good to recover some health points. Keeping these two Honey Dragons would be like throwing them away.
"Two hundred thousand Alliance Coins!"
"I only have 150,000 Alliance Coins."
Bai Hong did not back down at all. He wanted to save the two Fengmi Dragons, but he could not spend too much money, so he had to persevere to the end.
"Okay, deal!"
The boss hesitated for a moment.
I gritted my teeth and agreed.
Jirachi breathed a sigh of relief and immediately flew over, using his mental powers to remove the cargo frames from the backs of the two Honeydew Dragons, freeing them without Bai Hong having to say a word.
"Here, these are their Poké Balls." The boss asked an employee to bring out the Poké Ball for the Flounder and handed it to Bai Hong in front of him.
"The money was transferred."
