Pokémon: I'm a detective, not the sixth one.

In this world where a bottle of Elf nutritional supplements costs 9800 yuan, the income of migrant workers is definitely not low. And the more technology and automation develop in a society, the more expensive the raw labor cost is, because almost no one is willing to do such a thing.

Lu Yi originally planned to be considerate of the other party and quoted a deposit of 3000 yuan, which was enough to save him money on food and accommodation in the first stage. But when he heard that Brother Higashino's monthly salary was between RMB 3 and RMB 6, depending on the type or size of the project, he instantly felt that he was at the bottom of society.

(Legendary ps: This involves a piece of cold knowledge in the automated society. Assume that a factory or construction site adopts fully automatic equipment and saves 100 labor. Then only a few people need to be hired to regularly add materials, oil, or maintain these equipment. Just run it. The 100 wages saved can multiply the wages of these maintenance workers several times, so manpower becomes rare and valuable. This is also the future development direction of earth society.)

So Lu Yi decided to increase the deposit to 5000 and directly purchased a ferry ticket to the Carlos area this afternoon.

Brother Higashino's hometown is relatively remote. According to the location, this village is located in the mountains of southern Carlos, completely separated from the bustling city.

This picture shows the overall view of the Carlos region. The commissioned location is in the lowermost mountainous area that has not yet been fully developed.

It's probably like Urushi Town, which is neither developed nor appeared in the Pokémon TV anime.

Lu Yi sent away Dong Ye, who had high hopes for him. The latter tightly held Lu Yi's hand before leaving, with very complicated eyes. After all, he had asked Muzi for a lot of micro-expression knowledge, and he could see the sincere emotion in the other person's eyes, which was definitely from the heart.

This made Lu Yi more determined to help. Dongye did have a deep affection for his best friend.

He packed his luggage and wrote the words "I have something to go out" on a piece of paper, along with his contact number, and prepared to post it outside the door before leaving.

There were still a few hours before boarding time, and the business building was not too far from the port. Lu Yi let his friends relax and walked to the next room alone to make elf food.

However, just as he was washing the ingredients and preparing to cook a big pot of rice, the office welcomed its second guest today.

"Eh? That's strange, where is brother Lu Yi?"

Hearing the voice coming from outside the door, Lu Yi felt a little familiar and hurriedly walked out.

At this moment, a girl with a cute face was carrying a backpack, holding her hands on the straps of the backpack, looking at the scene with a playful and curious look.

The only ones in the room were the Wind Speed ​​Dogs, who greeted the girl with a smile, while Tropical Dragon, who had never seen a girl before, didn't even raise his head, sitting alone in front of Lu Yi's computer, studying something unknown.

"Lina? You actually came to my place??"

Lu Yi looked at the girl in surprise. The sudden sound startled the latter.

"Wow! Brother Lu Yi, why did you come out from behind?!"

Rina jumped on the spot like a frightened little rabbit, her big watery eyes blinking non-stop.

"You haven't answered me yet." Lu Yi took two steps forward in surprise. "You, a top student majoring in cultivation, didn't go back to help your grandpa take care of the elves. Why did you actually come to me?" Lu Yi was really surprised. It’s hard to understand. This girl expressed her wish in this regard a long time ago, but he didn’t agree at all!

The work in the office is complicated and dangerous, and Lu Yi is worried that Lina will not be able to adapt!

"But I think it's very interesting! And I'm young, isn't it too early to go home and live an idyllic life? I still want to travel around and see more new and interesting things!"

Linai said seriously, making Lu Yi helplessly shake his head.

He took Rina to sit down, poured the latter a glass of water, and then chatted about common things.

According to the girl, she doesn't plan to leave this time, and directly applies for the assistant position in the firm. Lu Yi thought for a moment and felt that this request was difficult to refuse.

Although the firm is not on the right track yet, there will definitely be many trivial matters to be busy with in the future, such as collecting and sorting out clients' entrustment information, preparing travel plans, storing and archiving each file, and communicating with the Alliance Police Force for transcripts after the entrustment is completed. wait.

You will definitely be too busy by yourself, and sooner or later you will need to hire someone to take care of these detailed tasks.

"Does Grandpa Fuji agree to your coming?"

"Yeah!" Rina nodded expectantly, "I made an agreement with him! Grandpa said that as long as I am happy, he will support me in anything I do!"

Hearing this, Lu Yi curled his lips and thought to himself that this is really the apple of his grandfather's eye... He can't treat Rina badly, otherwise Grandpa Fuji might join forces with Uncle Xia to make him unable to eat and walk around...

"Okay, then you first carry out the commission with me and get used to it for a period of time. I'm not sure about the salary of the assistant position now, but I will adjust it according to your workload and make sure you won't suffer a loss. Where can I get it in the future? If you are dissatisfied, you can also directly raise it and we can help each other!"

"Okay!~" Lina laughed happily. She didn't care about salary at all. She was deeply attracted by the interesting stories about police and criminals that Lu Yi once told, so she volunteered to apply.

While the two were chatting, a little guy was staring at the red and white ball hanging around Rina's waist, curiously looking at the group of guys around him.

That was Riolu, the "problem boy" from Pokémon Home. He had been abused by his trainer in his early years. Before he came here, he had thought about asking Lu Yi to help him vent his anger.

However, when it saw with its own eyes the state of the elves around it, it felt unreliable.

——Fengsu Dog is starving, and Lu Yi’s cooking process was delayed by Linai’s sudden visit. At this moment, it can only show off the fruits to satisfy its hunger;

——Pikoxi stood next to Lu Yi, listening to him and Lina chatting wordlessly, and dancing from time to time as their moods changed, not knowing what they were happy about;

——There was a Steel Cannon Arm Shrimp standing in front of the window sill. Ever since Rina entered the room, it had been looking at the northern sky. It was all because Lu Yi told it that its afternoon trip was to the north;

——Elledo leaned back in the corner of the room, polishing the sharp blades of his arms against each other, making a faint piercing sword sound;

——The tropical dragon seems to be the most reliable guy in the audience, because from Riolu's perspective, it has been staring at the computer screen, its face full of solemnity and thinking. I think it might be reviewing files and analyzing various commissioned cases, right?

But Riolu didn't know that this guy who seemed to be the most reliable was currently playing the chess game that came with the computer. Tropical Dragon is too cautious, thinking over every move dozens of times, and will not make a move until the last second of the timer!

Artificial intelligence may have understood the reason why it was created today. If it had its own thoughts and the same emotions as humans, it would probably have lost patience with the tropical dragon, right?
