"What happens next? How will the Millelith deal with it?"
Ningguang asked with great interest.
"The Millelith gave the Director of Wangsheng Funeral Parlor a lesson on public safety."
"In addition, Director Hu has obtained the neighbor's understanding. She will fund the reconstruction of the damaged house and provide compensation for the loss..."
When Baiwen said this, she glanced at Ningguang tentatively.
"But the wealthy family next door did not dare to accept the compensation."
Ningguang raised the corner of her mouth slightly.
"The Wangsheng Funeral Parlor has been passed down to the seventy-seventh generation, and Liyue's funeral rites have been arranged by them for eons. They have accumulated countless favors and connections—and perhaps a bit of superstitious fear—from generation to generation."
"So, is this matter over?"
"That's it for now. The Millelith came here specifically to report, and I'm afraid they didn't know what rules to use to properly handle this matter involving a 'monster'."
"Yes! I'll go and relay your instructions right away..."
Watching Secretary Baiwen leave, Ningguang's eyes flickered. For the first time, she became genuinely interested and curious about the new store selling strange pets.
The "50 Million Mora" pet was taken back by the Director of Wangsheng Funeral Parlor for only one night, but by the next day, a neighbor's house was destroyed.
On this morning, word spread throughout Liyue Harbor once again.
"Hey, it's a money loser!"
"Renovating the house and tidying up the garden is another huge sum of money!"
But there were many keen people. When they heard the news, they realized that the "Fifty Million Mora" creature taken back by Director Hu had destructive power that was not weaker than that of wild monsters.
"The novice mission of 10 million turnover has been completed."
"Did the second mission finally appear this morning?"
In the morning, Hiroshi woke up naturally and opened his eyes on the spacious and soft bed in the room above the shop.
He glanced at Jirachi curled up on the pillow next to him, and then looked at Cresselia, the Lunar Pokémon, lying elegantly at the foot of the bed.
"The day of the Store Manager of the Pokémon Home starts from such a 'boring', 'dull', and 'uninteresting' morning."
Hiroshi sat up and smiled at Cresselia, who opened her eyes at the same time.
"Good morning, Cresselia!"
"Good morning, Hiroshi~"
With the Goddess of Sweet Dreams accompanying him to sleep, he wouldn't have nightmares. Hiroshi felt refreshed when he woke up.
Suddenly, a deep, rumbling voice echoed not just in his head, but audibly in the room, vibrating the glass windows.
"Human. You slept too long. I have been awake for hours watching the dust motes float. It is... acceptable."
Zekrom, in its miniature form (shrunk down by the System to fit inside), was hovering near the ceiling, its red eyes glowing.
"Good morning to you too, Zekrom," Hiroshi laughed. "Try not to wake the neighbors with the bass in your voice."
Hiroshi then checked the System panel.
[Mission 2: Business Series II]
[Goal: Achieve a cumulative turnover of 100 Million Mora.]
"Has the business goal been directly raised to a small goal of 100 million?"
Hiroshi complained.
After the novice reward, this second "Ten Chain" draw was really not that easy to get.
For 100 million... if he could sell two Pseudo-Legendary cubs, it seemed easy, right?
But if you think about it, is it really that simple?
Hu Tao was a statistical outlier. She hit the Pseudo-Legendary with one shot because her "European Emperor" (insane luck) energy exploded.
To put it simply, out of a hundred customers who came to the door, only a few of them would hit a Pseudo-Legendary.
And this is still taking into consideration the purchasing power of each customer.
If you draw a Pseudo-Legendary but cannot afford it, let alone support it with resources, it's useless.
This situation is too common in the world of Pokémon. "Trainer" is a profession that burns money and resources. Hiroshi was not just talking nonsense.
"It looks like we need to do some publicity."
"Sitting and waiting for wealthy women with incredible luck to come to my door to accomplish the small goal of 100 million... I don't know if that will happen in the year of the monkey or the year of the horse."
"We must take the initiative!"
After Hiroshi got out of bed and washed up, he took inventory of the warehouse behind yesterday's "Ten-Pull Gacha."
You must know that in addition to the two Legendary/Mythical Pokémon drawn, Jirachi and Cresselia, the physical harvest of the "Ten-Pull" was equally astonishing.
[Joey's Treatment Equipment (Purple)]
Note: One of the upgradeable modules to heal Pokémon faster and more efficiently. Comparable to a Pokémon Center.
[Silph Co. Move Learner (Purple)]
Note: One of the upgradeable modules of the store, which increases the type and quantity of moves Pokémon can learn (TM Machine).
[Door of Training Room Expansion (Purple)]
Note: Place the door on any wall in the store, and this door will open up a fully equipped training room space in a pocket dimension.
[Door of Arena Expansion (Purple)]
Note: The usage is the same as above, but the dimensional space leads to a standard Pokémon Arena.
"These four..."
"They are all considered upgrade props for the store."
Hiroshi looked at the two remaining unknown purple SR props.
[Lunar Wing]
Hiroshi: ??
The corner of his mouth twitched.
I have already conquered the Dream God, what does a feather mean?
This item in the Pokémon game allows you to meet Cresselia once you possess it. To Hiroshi, who already had her, it seemed like just a piece of garbage gathering dust in a warehouse.
The last thing was...
[Gracidea Flower]
Note: A bouquet of Gracidea flowers contains some kind of gratitude. It seems that a certain Pokémon tied it into a bouquet and sent it out. The place of origin is the Flower Paradise.
Hiroshi: !!!
Good guy.
He's straight-up a good guy.
Gracidea flowers are associated with the Sinnoh region (and others), and the Grass-type Mythical Pokémon Shaymin appears in this area.
However, Hiroshi thought, I am in Teyvat, not the Pokémon world. How does this work?
He extracted the bouquet of flowers, and it felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on him. It was just a flower.
Shaking his head, he opened the door and prepared to start a new day of business.
"Hiroshi~"
Cresselia's sweet voice sounded in his heart.
"That Lunar Wing... I feel it."
"And this bouquet of Gracidea flowers in your hand..."
"That Pokémon must have sensed it too and is preparing to respond to your call!"
Hiroshi was stunned when he heard the words.
Response? Summons?
Focus!
Hiroshi, who received Cresselia's prompt, finally figured out how to use these two SR purple props.
Yes, it must have been a mechanism of the lottery system. These items are used to increase the probability of summoning a specific Pokémon!
"Then there is a high probability that my next Pokémon will be..."
"The Gratitude Pokémon, Shaymin?"
