Pokémon: The King of Extras

Chatting aimlessly along the way, the two soon arrived in front of the villa that was to be sold.

The man in a suit who had been waiting there opened the door and handed them the key.

"Miss, please feel free to visit. If you think it's okay, please contact her as soon as possible."

Yu Zhou took the key and thanked him: "Thank you very much."

The other party took two steps back and respectfully moved out of the way.

Yu Zhou and Lin Zhuiyi walked into the small manor in front of them together.

First there is a relatively wide road.

The road, which can support two cars, leads directly to the villa in front, flanked by well-maintained manor lawns.

In the area extending five to six meters, there are some shrubs and green plants, which are the products of careful pruning.

"This house is under contract with the league,"

Walking on the road to the house, Lin recalled, "Every half month, Pokémon come to mow the lawn and maintain the house facilities. They are all employees of the Pokémon Employment Association."

Pokémon Employment Association.

Like the Secret Countermeasure Bureau, it is a subordinate unit of the alliance. It specializes in helping Pokémon who have lost their trainers and do not want to find another trainer, as well as some Pokémon who are unwilling to rely on trainers to solve their employment problems.

Among them are Pokémon that were abandoned, and there are Pokémon that are unwilling to return to that family after the trainer died, and there are also a small number of Pokémon that are unwilling to follow the trainer for various reasons.

After passing various reviews and tests of the alliance, you will finally obtain a certificate and become a member who works to support yourself.

Because the salary is paid by the league, it can be regarded as an iron rice bowl in a sense.

Since its release, it has attracted countless large companies to imitate and launch their own "employment associations" under their own brands.

certainly.

The prices are not low either.

The alliance's Pokémon Employment Association has an annual rental price of 600,000 yuan, which includes various props and nutrients for cultivating flowers and plants.

Considering the size of the estate, the price is actually acceptable.

"There are currently over nine months left on the contract, which is included in the sale."

Lin recalled, folding his hands together, "There are still plenty of water and electricity, and the method of recharging is very simple. You just have to hire the cooks and housekeepers yourself."

Yu Zhou shook his arms: "Forget it, I'm not used to living with strangers."

Lin Zhuiyi nodded.

There is really no need for a cooking aunt, the rice cooked by Yu Zhou himself is very delicious.

Arriving at the villa, Yu Zhou opened the door with the key given by the man in the suit.

A simple modern villa with wide glass structures in many places.

Against the backdrop of the surrounding green plants, it not only provides good lighting, but also maintains indoor temperature and air circulation.

From the first floor all the way to the fourth floor, and finally to the terrace, there are no traces of living here, like a place where you only come to stay for a month or two during vacation.

Because it is properly maintained on a daily basis, it looks almost the same as new.

Yu Zhou was very satisfied.

Especially the vast garden covers an area where you can plant many fruit trees at a glance!

"The property fee is 70,000 per year."

Lin Zhuiyi walked beside him and continued to count the annual expenses. "After downloading the app, there are delivery services in nearby business districts, and the purchased items can be delivered to the front door of the villa through the property's car."

"Is it so convenient?" Yu Zhou was even more excited.

Lin Zhuiyi said quietly: "It's all bought with money."

Annual expenses of nearly one million are not something everyone can afford.

Even she would occasionally find herself in a situation where she had no money to exchange for resources.

Because most of the money was spent on the accompanying Pokémon, there is no real real estate now, so the house in the alliance center can only be bought for free.

After looking at the detailed conditions of the greenhouse and the surrounding terrain, Yu Zhou had no objections.

"What's the average price of this building?"

Lin Zhuiyi recalled for a few seconds: "It seems to be around 30 million."

Yu Zhou blinked.

Is one keystone really enough?

"Don't worry, just leave it to me."

Lin Zhuiyi shrugged, "Rich people pay a premium for props, just like we occasionally bite the bullet and buy some good tree fruits to improve the food of Pokémon."

What's more, the new season is about to start.

As long as you have ideas for this season, you won't have to worry about no one being interested.

Yu Zhou nodded understandingly.

That makes sense.

"Shall we go see the second one?"

After walking around, Lin Zhuiyi suggested, "Sign the contract tonight and you can move in tomorrow."

Of course Yu Zhou had no objection.

The second building is also in the CBD area, but it is just a border area.

But with the river view, the terrain is also higher.

The garden area is much smaller, but it is equipped with a private yacht and the style of the villa is very beautiful.

Overall, there are pros and cons to each.

Yu Zhou hesitated for a moment and finally chose the first building.

A larger active range is also convenient for the future.

The key is to entertain some friends you met during your travels─mainly wild Pokémon.

Bobo and the green caterpillar, if possible, can meet here next time.

Lin Zhuiyi also liked the first one better. Hearing this, he nodded immediately: "Well, leave the rest to me."

The other party is the youngest daughter of a large entrepreneur, and is also one of her sponsors. They have contacted each other many times and have a rich foundation for cooperation.

A barter-for-things contract like this can be quickly reached.

Yu Zhou blinked.

It is really good to have someone to help with things, and Lin Zhuiyi is also an "ally" who can be trusted almost completely since the Dream Incident.

But it is not his style to let others solve everything.

"What can I do?" He couldn't help asking.

"Well... cook for me at home, and come to sign when the news arrives?" Lin Zhuiyi winked playfully.

Yu Zhou's face was bitter: "Do you still need to eat?"

"You clearly said yesterday that it's okay to come to eat a few more times!"

"It's just a polite remark."

Lin Zhuiyi put his hands on his waist angrily and wanted to punch him.

"It's okay to eat takeout, we have to celebrate."

Yu Zhou nodded.

Solving the problem of Lanza fruit planting also solves the problem of cultivating too many Pokémon in the future in disguise, so it is indeed time to celebrate.

"Then I'll buy some rice before going back. I ate too much yesterday."

"..." Lin Zhuiyi's face flushed a little.

Is it really that much?

I didn't feel it yesterday.

It must be because the rice was too delicious, and I accidentally overate.

Well, that must be the case!

…

With Lin Zhuiyi's help, things went smoothly.

Before the sun went down, Yu Zhou got the purchase certificate and the house deed.

The key stone was handed over to the person in charge of signing the contract as a matter of course.

The other party carefully wrapped it with cotton cloth and put it in a special box.

"Congratulations."

Lin Zhuiyi stood by and applauded, sighing with some emotion, "When I first met you, you were still my little fan, and now you are a multi-millionaire."

Yu Zhou was also very emotional, but still turned his head to Soraya, who had not yet realized what was happening.

"No matter how rich you are, you can't avoid being a cook."

"Oh?"

The little guy raised his face.

Is it time for dinner?

Yu Zhou pinched her chubby little face and couldn't help laughing.

"Let's go, let's go home first."

"Can I ask about today's dishes?" Lin Zhuiyi trotted to catch up.

"How about grilled meat?"

"Oh," Lin Zhuiyi's eyes lit up, "I still remember the taste of your grilled fish!"
