Chapter 67 The Small Courtyard Expansion Plan
Chapter 67 The Small Courtyard Expansion Plan
After finalizing the plan with Xiao Gang and Yang Bin, Xuan Mingtian, seeing that there was still half a class period left, immediately lay down on his desk to sleep. After all, no one could stop him from going to sleep.
"Brother Gang, after your Larvitar hatches, do you just let it eat dirt, or do you mix some ore into its diet?" Bored, Yang Bin asked Xiao Gang about the food for hatched Pokémon eggs.
"I want to adjust the ratio according to percentages. I'll try a 100:1 ratio first, which is 100 kilograms of soil to 1 kilogram of ore. If it doesn't work, I'll reduce the ratio."
At that moment, Xiao Gang was completely unaware that his baby Gilas egg trembled slightly. If it could speak, it would definitely scold Xiao Gang, saying that it only eats dirt and that eating ore would kill the elves.
After all, a Pokémon egg can sense its surroundings within a certain distance, especially since Brock said it in front of it.
"Brother Gang, I actually think we can let it eat some soil containing metal elements, then it won't need to eat ore anymore," Yang Bin said, sharing his idea.
Xiao Gang said thoughtfully, "Well, this method isn't impossible, but it's rare in the Kanto region. After all, if it's just rock, there's plenty in Dark Grey City, but soil containing metals might have to be ordered from other regions. We'll have to ask Uncle Xiao for help then."
Time flies, and before we knew it, it was time for get out of class to end. But when the bell rang, Xuan Mingtian had already forcibly broken off his relationship with the Duke of Zhou (a figure associated with sleep).
A slightly confused Xuan Mingtian said to Bai Ying, "Class monitor, I'll return your Bulbasaur to you on Friday."
After saying that, he turned around and led Xiaogang and Yang Bin out of the classroom without looking back, heading towards the principal's office.
At this moment, Bai Ying said fiercely to Xuan Mingtian's back, "Bastard, I curse him to trip and fall while walking, choke on his water, and steal my Bulbasaur."
Xuan Mingtian was completely unaware that Bai Ying was cursing him behind his back, but he still had to deal with today's matters, otherwise there would be nowhere to put the soil he bought, and the Doudou pigeons would also need a place after they hatched.
The three arrived at the principal's office in no time.
Knock, knock, knock. After receiving permission from the principal inside, the three of them went in.
At this moment, the principal asked in confusion, "Xiao Tian, didn't you ask for leave? Is something wrong?"
“Principal, I really have something to discuss with you. I'd like to expand that little courtyard by fencing it up. Now that we have more Pokémon, we need a bigger place to train.” Xuan Mingtian said earnestly to the principal.
After hearing the question, the principal fell into deep thought and glanced at Xuan Mingtian without leaving a trace. After all, the question was neither too big nor too small.
Xuan Mingtian glanced at Yang Bin, who immediately understood. He then took out a 20-kilogram bag of Miracle Seeds that had not been infused with life essence from his spatial backpack and placed it on the principal's desk.
As the Seed of Miracles was placed there, the principal swiftly put the bag of Seed of Miracles into the drawer.
The principal then said, "Xiao Tian, the expansion is fine. Although your little villa is on the edge of the academy, it can't affect the ecology of the surrounding forest too much. After all, affecting the ecology is not good for either elves or humans."
"You don't need to worry about that. I'm just marking out some areas to store minerals for the elves to eat."
Xuan Mingtian also explained his purpose for the expansion, since this was someone else's land, and he had to let them know what he was doing.
Then Xuan Mingtian took out an Alliance Card from his pocket and said, "Principal, this is for the academy to upgrade its equipment. It's just a token of my appreciation."
The principal looked at Xuan Mingtian with shining eyes and said, "Xiao Tian, you have made a great contribution to the academy. On behalf of the academy, I thank you."
Seeing the principal preparing to bow, Xuan Mingtian immediately stepped forward to stop him and said, "Principal, you're too kind. The better the academy is, the better we students will be. Besides, I'll be nagging you for years to come."
"Haha, stop with the nagging. Your contributions to the academy are obvious to all," the principal said with a broad smile.
After communicating with the principal, the first step of the expansion plan for the small courtyard was successfully completed. Xiao Gang and Yang Bin also witnessed the principal's satisfied expression under the pressure of money and power.
After leaving the principal's office, the three of them strolled around the campus with an air of nonchalance, while students from all classes watched with envy, wishing they could replace one of them.
A moment later, the trio returned to the small courtyard and saw Uncle Xiao practicing martial arts, while his Mr. Mime was also practicing on his own.
Upon seeing the three return, Uncle Xiao immediately stopped his martial arts practice and greeted them, saying, "Xiao Tian, has the expansion plan for the small courtyard been approved?"
Xuan Mingtian said, "Yes, Uncle Xiao, please contact a qualified construction team this afternoon to build a fence and a few pigeon houses. After the DouDou pigeons hatch, they will be moved to the pigeon houses to live."
“Okay, Xiaotian, but I suggest you plant five trees that are 10 to 15 meters tall, and then build some small wooden houses on the trees for DouDou and the others to shelter them from the wind and rain. I feel that this will be closer to nature, and I believe DouDou will like it very much.” Uncle Xiao shared his suggestions and ideas.
After a moment of silence, Xuan Mingtian said, "Uncle Xiao, your suggestion is excellent. Let's make it that way."
"By the way, Uncle Xiao, do you know where I can find soil rich in metals? I plan to feed the baby Giras this kind of soil after it hatches." Xiao Gang also asked his question at this time.
Uncle Xiao said, "Xiao Gang, if you need to find soil like this, it would be best to contact Dewen Company. They used to be involved in mining and steelmaking, so they might know where to find such soil. I'll contact them this afternoon."
"Uncle Xiao, then I'll have to trouble you."
Xiao Gang was overjoyed when he heard that Devon Company might have found such fertile ground. He immediately expressed his gratitude to Uncle Xiao.
Uncle Xiao waved his hand with a smile. After all, he knew the relationship between Xiao Gang and Xiao Tian. He could just call and ask. It was a small problem.
Xuan Mingtian didn't say much about it, because young Gilas are much better off eating soil containing metal than rock, but this requires preventing them from having indigestion.
After making some arrangements, Xuan Mingtian stopped caring about Uncle Xiao's plans, because he knew that the latter would definitely handle things well within the day.
The trio slowly walked towards the training ground in the backyard, which Xuan Mingtian had renovated when he came to live in the small villa. Although it was not large, it was just right for the number of Pokémon they currently owned.
Looking around, Dehua and Xiaota were lying on chairs, watching the Pokémon train while drinking milk tea. Geodude, Charmander, and Garlic were practicing their skills, while Little Dot was as desperate as ever, scratching the iron plate with its claws.
Most notably, Potian is instructing Little Fatball. Last night before going to bed, Xiaolan entrusted her Gible to Xuanmingtian and asked him to see it evolve into Garchomp within a year.
Xuan Mingtian readily agreed to this simple request, but it would require Little Fat Ball to put in 12% effort. After all, for humans, no matter how much training they receive, the Pokémon itself has to be capable; otherwise, even if Arceus came, it wouldn't make a difference.
Thinking of this, Xuan Mingtian looked at the Sloth Egg and immediately felt a headache coming on. He could handle healing Pokémon and enhancing their aptitude, but asking him to change their traits was a bit of a stretch.
Xuan Mingtian then released Bai Ying's Bulbasaur and said to Xiao Ta, "Xiao Ta, teach this frog how to use Grassy Terrain this week. If possible, also teach it how to use Magic Leaf."
Bai Ying's Bulbasaur, facing so many powerful Pokémon, didn't panic at all, and even went directly to Garlic to start a conversation.
Upon hearing Xuan Mingtian's words, Xiaota immediately used his vine whip to wrap up Bulbasaur and walked towards a patch of grass nearby.
At this moment, Xuan Mingtian came to Potian and said, "Potian, you have been training hard during this period, but there are still many shortcomings."
"Mantis, mantis, mantis." Master, just say it, train me to death.
Upon hearing this, the little fat ball next to it widened its eyes. In all the Pokémon it had ever seen since birth, it had never heard of a trainer wanting to train a Pokémon to death. This was simply a crazy Pokémon.
Xuan Mingtian said again, "When you were cutting the ping-pong ball yesterday, although you were fast, you also created a lot of wind. You should know that this small flaw is easily detected in high-level Pokémon battles. So when you use your wings to accelerate, you need to reduce the wind you create."
Xuan Mingtian's words silenced everyone present, including the elves, as the topic was far too profound for them.
Xuan Mingtian looked at the silent people and elves and said again, "You know the Night Hawks of the Johto region, right? They can fly without making a sound and without creating much wind."
At this moment, Yang Bin asked doubtfully, "Brother Tian, are you overthinking this? Potian is an insect, and the Night Hawk is a bird. Their wings are different. How can they learn from each other? Also, although Potian is an insect, it is a humanoid elf. We still need to consider air resistance, right?"
Yang Bin's words enlightened everyone except Potian and the elves. Xiao Gang even laughed out loud, which made Xuan Mingtian, who was already embarrassed, even more so.
After the awkward moment, Xuan Mingtian continued, "Potian, try changing your body shape while flying and see which has less resistance. Also, try increasing or decreasing the frequency of your wing flapping and see which method generates less air and achieves higher speed."
Meanwhile, Xiao Gang and Yang Bin, who were standing nearby, also wanted to see if Potian could do it.
