Pokémon Origins

"Oh? What contract do you and I have to sign?" Old Xie raised his eyebrows and asked with interest, "Do you know that the contract signed by your uncle Xie is at least 18 million yuan? I did it today just because of the friendship between our ancient school."

"Moreover, the people who signed the contract with me were all owners or managers of elf breeding houses. It's rare to see someone of your age..." Old Xie looked at Zi Mu, and after taking a look at him, he asked, "Could it be that... you are here to discuss this with me on behalf of your parents?"

Zi Mu is too young, and Old Xie really can't imagine why Zi Mu would say that.

"Hmm..." Zi Mu was about to speak after hearing what Lao Xie said, but then he thought of something and swallowed his words back.

"hehe!"

Seeing Zi Mu's look, Principal Gu next to him naturally understood what he meant. When Zi Mu didn't know how to start, he stepped forward and patted Old Xie's shoulder affectionately.

"Old Xie, you don't know that the person we are discussing this with is not this kid, but the one next to him..." Principal Gu turned his gaze to Su Xier next to Zi Mu, pointed at her with his thumb, and said, "Don't underestimate this little girl, she is a serious intermediate elf breeder, and she has her own elf breeding house! And..."

Gu Xiao looked at Su Xier, then at Zi Mu, and leaned close to Lao Xie's ear and whispered something in his ear. Lao Xie's expression gradually became solemn.

"This..." After Principal Gu finished speaking, Old Xie looked at Su Xier in disbelief. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "I wonder what kind of business this little Miss Su wants to discuss with me. Since you, Principal Gu, are here, you can talk about it."

Obviously, Principal Gu's words could change Old Xie's attitude so much, probably because he mentioned Su Xier's family background. Zi Mu had heard Su Xier say that their family was quite famous in elf breeding, and Old Xie must have thought of this.

"Ahem!" After hearing what Old Xie said, Principal Gu beside him coughed twice, winked at him, and motioned him to look at Zi Mu.

Old Xie was confused at first, but he immediately understood after seeing the ambiguous expression on Principal Gu's face.

"Oh, oh, oh!" Old Xie smiled with an "I understand" look on his face. He naively bowed to Zi Mu and said, "I wonder if this young master...what business do you want to discuss with me?"

"Uncle Xie, you're so polite. I'm grateful for Principal Mongolia's kindness and I have to call you Uncle Xie. Do you mind?" Seeing Old Xie saluting him, Zi Mu quickly returned the salute and brought out Principal Gu.

When you are out and about, it is wise to use your backers at the critical moment. What's more... this person is right beside you.

In this way, not only did he praise him in front of Principal Gu, but he also let Lao Xie know that when he came to discuss business with him this time, the first guarantor was Principal Gu. If there were any conflicts in the future, he could also give him some time to think about it.

“Hahahahaha!” Hearing Zi Mu’s flattery, Old Xie laughed heartily a few times, walked forward, helped Zi Mu up, put his hand on his shoulder, and said, “Hello, kid! What you did today is very much to my liking. Don’t say that I’m indebted to your ancient school. Just because you said “Uncle Xie”, I will accept you as my kid!”

After saying that, he gently patted Zi Mu's shoulder, then took it back and looked at Zi Mu with a sincere smile: "From now on, I will call you Mu boy, can you bear it?"

"Of course!" Zi Mu responded with a smile. Old Xie was at least of the same generation as his father. Calling him "kid" showed that he respected him.

"I wonder how many types of products are there in Uncle Xie's Elf Ranch? What are the approximate prices?" After exchanging pleasantries, Zi Mu spoke first and got straight to the point.

"My elf ranch does not breed the Big Three and quasi-gods, but we have almost all other elves, except for some elves that are unique to foreign countries!" Old Xie patted his chest proudly and introduced to Zi Mu.

The three royal families are controlled by the National Alliance. Unless it is a national-level ranch, the Alliance strictly prohibits large-scale artificial breeding. Not to mention the quasi-gods, they have basically become the private inheritance of major families. Who would breed and sell them?

"As for the price... it ranges from 1 to 100 yuan. The Wrestling Eagle you bought is already a top-quality Elf Egg, and the original price is 60 yuan!" Old Xie thought about it and added, "If you want to buy in large quantities, I can lower the profit and give you only % of the profit."

There are many types of elf eggs with different grades, so it is normal that the prices fluctuate greatly.

"Oh?" Zi Mu's eyes lit up, and he asked excitedly, "I wonder what the cost is here, Uncle Xie?"

He knew very little about Pokémon farms. He only knew that most farms were of the foster care type, with trainers leaving seldom-used Pokémon at the farms. He had never studied the cost of these farms.

Generally speaking, a person can only carry a maximum of 6 Poké Balls. If you want to carry more than six, there is a way... Use non-League certified balls, that is, black balls to hold the Pokémon. However, in this case... the Pokémon will not be recognized by the League and will not be subject to League legal certification.

Where are the elves when there are more than 6 elves? This question gave rise to the birth of elf ranches and the rise of foster farming.

"Our ranch usually takes 3% of the profit, and the remaining 7% is given to the trainers who foster here. For example, your Wrestling Hawkman is sold to the Pokémon Breeding House for 60 yuan, 21 yuan is given to the trainer of the father Pokémon, 21 yuan is given to the trainer of the mother Pokémon, and the remaining 18 yuan goes into our ranch's pocket."

If a Pokémon trainer has more than 6 Pokémons and does not have his own ranch to accommodate them, except for the 6 Poké Balls he carries on his body, any Poké Balls certified by the Alliance will be transmitted to the nearest Alliance Center in an instant after sensing the entry of a certified Pokémon.

In this way, not only can the number of Pokémon carried by trainers be controlled, but the safety of the Pokémon can also be well protected. In case of emergency, one only needs to put the Pokémon back into the ball and transfer it in an instant to ensure its safety.

This control method is also the most orthodox alliance control. Although it is absolutely safe for the Pokémon to stay in the Poké Ball, there is no room for improvement. In comparison, most trainers will choose foster breeding. Although there are certain risks, it can not only get some breeding feedback, but also allow the Pokémon to have space for self-training, so that they will not always stay in the Poké Ball.

"If I sell it to you and Miss Su, it will be a different price." Old Xie calculated in his mind and said, "If we sign a formal contract, I will only sell you 60 of the 48 Wrestling Eagle, and 42 to the parents, so we will only keep 6 in profit!"

The price of the wrestling eagle man that Shangguan Chuang bought just now was 42 yuan, and it seems that he didn't even want the % profit...

"It's 10%, but it's not much. The cost of elf feed, manual management, electricity, water, and other miscellaneous expenses for the entire ranch is not small..."
