Monster Hunter: Farm Story Begins with Pokémon

Bai Zhen spent about half an hour reaching a verbal agreement with Rodna.

After Rodna pays the deposit and signs the contract, Bai Zhen can start ordering wheat in the Pokémon world.

While Rodna was preparing the contract, Bai Zhen and Puxian entered the meeting hall first.

As soon as he came in, Bai Zhen was frightened by the huge crowds in the meeting hall.

It's only six in the morning, why are there so many people? !

"Hahaha." Puxian laughed loudly beside Bai Zhen and said, "Are you shocked? Thanks to your blessing, the population of Yanhuo Village has now reached 712 people, and the number of foreign tourists has also increased to 421."

At present, during the Hundred Dragons Night Parade in Yanhuo Village, there are more than 400 tourists.

If the Hundred Dragons Night Parade ended, Bai Zhen didn't even dare to imagine how many tourists would come.

Bai Zhen asked worriedly: "Does our Yanhuo Village have so many places for tourists to stay now?"

Puxian confessed, "To be honest, the capacity of our Yanhuo Village has been exceeded. We asked villagers with spare rooms to vacate them to accommodate tourists a while ago, and we can barely accommodate so many people. Even Huoya and Shuiyun's former houses have been temporarily used as hotels."

"Is there anything I can help with?" Bai Zhen felt a little embarrassed. He didn't expect that in just a few short months, the population of Yanhuo Village, which originally had less than 500 people, has now reached over 1100.

Puxian patted Bai Zhen's shoulder with a smile and said, "Don't worry, more people are great news for our Yanhuo Village, and the village is already expanding the hotel. We just need to wait until the busiest period is over. This is not the place to talk, let's go to the meeting room first, His Excellency Sui Fengnen is waiting for you there."

Bai Zhen nodded and followed Puxian to the meeting room in the meeting hall.

After opening the sliding door, Sui Fengren in the room looked up and saw Bai Zhen, with a relieved smile on his face: "Welcome back, you have worked hard hunting~!"

Bai Zhen sat down cross-legged opposite Sui Fengren, and Honglian Kaiqi sat down on the right rear side of Bai Zhen. As soon as he sat down, Bai Zhen couldn't help complaining to this respectable elder.

"Hunting isn't hard, but the interpersonal relationships are exhausting. Who would have thought that an ordinary mission would turn into a contest to find a bride, and that we would even encounter a traitorous hunter in the middle of the journey?"

"Oh, oh, I'm so sorry. I only received the additional mission reward the day after you left."

Puxian sat down at one side of the room. He laughed and said, "I watched your video. The princess is also extremely beautiful. Huoya and Shuiyun should not have made trouble with you, right? If so, you can ask Sui Fengren to go down and help you explain it."

"Huoya knew about it last night, but she didn't blame me. Instead, she expressed her feelings to me."

"Oh?" The two seniors' eyes lit up. Is this finally the first step?

But Sui Fengren soon noticed that Bai Zhen didn't look happy, and asked with concern: "Why don't you look very happy? Did you encounter any difficulties?"

"It's not that difficult, but Shuiyun saw me in an awkward situation this morning, and now she refuses to say a word to me. I'm worried about this now."

When Sui Fengren heard this, he immediately gave Bai Zhen some advice: "Shui Yun usually goes to buy paints at this time. Judging from the time, she should buy new paints soon. You can buy some and give them to her. It should help her calm down."

Bai Zhen felt that there was hope, and thanked him twice: "Thank you, Mr. Sui Fengren, I will try it when I return!"

“No thanks, no thanks.” Sui Fengnen stroked his white beard with a smile.

At this time, Puxian asked Bai Zhen about what happened not long ago, "Bai Zhen, what is the matter with the [Xinghui Food] that you talked about with Rodna before, and what about the registration in Yanhuo Village that you mentioned?"

When Puxian asked, Bai Zhen told the two of them in detail about the [Xinghui Group] that he and Daigo and others had jointly established.

And he talked about the purpose of opening [Xinghui Food Company].

After the two heard it, Sui Fengren couldn't help but praise, "How clever! Using this method to tie up the three champions not only allows them to keep the secret, but also allows them to provide resources and funds. This can really protect our Yanhuo Village."

Puxian nodded in agreement and asked Bai Zhen: "Are you really planning to register a chamber of commerce in our Yanhuo Village and pay taxes to Yanhuo Village?"

The wheat that Bai Zhen is going to sell next has little to do with Yanhuo Village. It is not produced in Yanhuo Village, and the transaction can barely be considered to be on the land of Yanhuo Village, but it is not sold to people from Yanhuo Village. There is no problem for Bai Zhen to sell it outside Yanhuo Village.

For this 10 billion wheat contract, according to the 2% tax, Bai Zhen will have to pay 20 million gold in taxes to Yanhuo Village, which is more than the taxes collected by Yanhuo Village in the past years combined.

The taxation system in Yanhuo Village is very simple, and is divided into four categories: [head tax], [residence tax], [field tax], and [transit tax].

The head tax is a tax collected based on the number of people, with 500 gold collected from each person per year.

The housing tax is imposed on those who have fixed stores for business, such as Haruchai's vegetable shop and Ai Cao's rabbit dumpling shop, and the field tax is imposed on farmers.

The housing tax is the same as the land tax, which is 3% of the thirty-percent tax. In other words, it is a % tax on receivables rather than profits.

Transit tax means that merchants need to pay 2% of the total value of the goods when they cross the border or sell goods in Yanhuo Village.

The taxes collected by the village will eventually be used for village construction and to defend against monsters.

This tax is considered low in the world.

Bai Zhen affirmed: "The Night Parade of a Hundred Dragons has almost left Yanhuo Village with no money to rebuild the village. I have been in Yanhuo Village for five months and I should pay some taxes. I also hope to see our Yanhuo Village grow and develop."

Bai Zhen came to Yanhuo Village and has only paid the head tax so far. He has never paid land tax.

The reason was naturally not that Bai Zhen evaded taxes, but that Puxian and Sui Fengnian exempted his taxes.

Bai Zhen not only brought the attribute theory, but also created high-level medicinal herbs and various attribute grasses. He also helped defend the Feiye Fortress during the Hundred Dragons Night March.

It can be said that Bai Zhen saved the entire Yanhuo Village and brought opportunities for development to Yanhuo Village. If they still ask Bai Zhen to pay taxes, it would be too much.

Therefore, Sui Fengnian and Puxian decided not to collect taxes from Baizhen.

Sui Fengren and Puxian looked at each other, and Sui Fengren said, "Yanhuo Village now has so many tourists because of your contribution. Without you, we can't defend Yanhuo Village at all. How can we collect taxes from heroes?"

Bai Zhen: "But I also enjoy the infrastructure and security of Yanhuo Village, don't I? I also heard from Huoya that our ranch and farm were robbed some time ago, and it was the village guards who caught the thief, so our farm did not suffer any losses. It is only right that we should pay some taxes."

Bai Zhen was eager to give money, not because he had too much money to spare.

Instead, they really hope that Yanhuo Village can have enough money to develop. Recently, the public funds of Yanhuo Village have been almost spent, and Sui Fengren and Puxian have begun to distribute a large number of [Yanhuo Tickets], which are similar to debt notes.

Now that there are so many more tourists in Yanhuo Village, Puxian probably doesn’t have the money to hire craftsmen to repair the inn.

The most important thing is that Huoya and Shuiyun really love Yanhuo Village, and it is their dream to make Yanhuo Village develop.

Even if it costs a fortune, Bai Zhen wants to fulfill their wishes and dreams.

Puxian said: "I mentioned this matter before when I came to your farm to order attribute grass and medicinal herbs. If even meritorious officials cannot enjoy preferential treatment, then other meritorious people will probably refuse the village's preferential treatment. In the long run, no one will be willing to contribute to the village in the future."

Bai Zhen’s intentions were good, but if he couldn’t accept the preferential treatment with an open mind, it would not be good for the development of the village.

Bai Zhen sighed in his heart.

He thought about it and compromised, "Well, in that case, my farm will continue to be tax-exempt, but the Chamber of Commerce founded by me and three other people will not be tax-exempt. This can be regarded as our support for the construction of Yanhuo Village."

Puxian discussed it with Sui Fengren, and Puxian said, "The champions are also the heroes of Yanhuo Village. We should give you some preferential treatment for the Chamber of Commerce founded by the four of you. We will directly reduce all taxes of your Chamber of Commerce by half. The transit tax will only be 1%, and the residence tax will only be 1.5%."

Seeing that Bai Zhen wanted to say something, Puxian also made the final decision: "It's settled. Giving you tax breaks is also part of the idea of ​​keeping the Chamber of Commerce you founded in Yanhuo Village. This will bring much more benefits to Yanhuo Village than directly getting real money."

Seeing that Puxian was so tough, Bai Zhen had no choice but to agree.

Seeing that Bai Zhen didn't look very interested, Puxian comforted him instead.

"Hahaha! Okay, stop dwelling on this. The development opportunities you bring to Yanhuo Village are more valuable than those tens of millions! Those people who settle down and tourists who pass through are the real boosters that can drive the development of our Yanhuo Village."

When Bai Zhen heard this, he also decided to find a way to create more jobs for Yanhuo Village.

But before discussing these matters in detail, Bai Zhen asked about the matter he was most concerned about: "Then let's decide this matter first. Mr. Sui Fengren, regarding the completion of my mission, I wonder if the guild will allow me to defeat the ancient dragon Tianhuilong?"

Speaking of this, Sui Fengren couldn't help but praise you again: "I have watched the battle process in detail. I didn't expect that you are so powerful now. There is no problem for you to accept the mission of defeating Tianhui Dragon."

Bai Zhen's battle against the Pengelong can almost be described as complete restraint and complete crushing throughout the whole process. Bai Zhen also proved to him once again the benefits brought by attribute restraint.

Bai Zhen's face lit up: "Then what about the information about Tianhui Dragon?"

"You may have to wait for about another week. We have sent a secret force led by Elu Cat Dongfeng to investigate the location of the Tianhui Dragon's lair. I think they will be able to send back accurate information in another week. If you can't wait, I can also tell you the approximate range and you can search by yourself."

The Monster Hunter Wild Area is very large, and the range of Tianhuilong's activities is very wide. Going out to look for it by yourself would be like a headless fly, which is a waste of time.

"A week isn't long. I'd better wait."

He also has things to do next, such as acquiring the satellite factory and then getting the satellite construction on track as soon as possible.

Whether we can find a large number of Ice Wolf Dragons and let the Red Lotus Armored Cavalry learn the [Hail Core] skill depends entirely on the geospatial satellite at this stage.

"Okay, if there is any news, I will tell you at any time." Sui Fengnen nodded.

Tianhui Dragon could not be conquered for the time being, so Bai Zhen asked about another target: "By the way, is the Excited Golden Lion still within the range of the Water Flood Forest?"

"For some unknown reason, the golden lion is still wandering around the submerged forest. It's very dangerous. Some time ago, I issued a ban to hunters, temporarily prohibiting them from entering the submerged forest. In addition, the village chief and branch manager of Jieyun Village also banned their hunters from entering the submerged forest."

Bai Zhen asked: "The golden lion is wandering around the flooded forest area. Could it be because the wind dragon is nearby?"

"Hmm," Sui Fengren said after a pause, "We can't rule out this possibility. The headquarters has already accepted all requests for the Wind Dragon mission, and has sent a team of master 6-star hunters to our Yanhuo Village. I estimate that within a month, the four hunters will be able to arrive at our Yanhuo Village and investigate the traces of the Wind Dragon around Yanhuo Village."

"The guild is quite fast," Bai Zhen sighed.

Sui Fengren said: "After all, this involves the safety of the world. If your speculation is correct, the faster the better."

"So regarding the Golden Lion, can I accept this subjugation mission?"

It’s like the Ice Wolf Dragon is the key for the Red Lotus Armor Knight to open the forbidden road.

The significance of the Golden Lion to the Boom Dragon is similar to that of the Ice Wolf Dragon.

If it were possible to let Honglong master the power of thunder and lightning, he would become terribly powerful.

Sui Fengren thought for a moment and said, "It may not be appropriate according to the rules, but if you can defeat Tianhui Dragon, I will give you the task of defeating the Excited Golden Lion. Safety is the top priority in everything."

"nature."

Bai Zhen would not really joke about his own life, but if the fighting power of the Excited Golden Lion was similar to that of the Grudge Thundering Tiger Dragon, then he was still confident that he could defeat the opponent.

You have to know that now he is able to wrestle with large monsters. In terms of strength, defense, speed, and even mental power, he is far superior to a large number of monsters.

After discussing the mission with Sui Fengnen in detail.

Bai Zhen then told the two of them about his plan to build a rocket launch base in Yanhuo Village.

At first, the two did not understand what rockets and satellites were.

But after Bai Zhen's detailed explanation, both of them showed shocked expressions.

Like Huoya before, they all firmly believe in the theory of the flat earth, that is, the earth is flat and that the world has boundaries.

However, Bai Zhen now told them that the world they lived in was actually a round sphere, and outside the sky there was a seemingly endless universe.

There are billions of planets in the universe that are similar to their world.

Faced with the photos that Bai Zhen took out, the two were unable to speak for a long time.

This shock to their worldview took them a long time to finally accept this fact.

"I have lived for most of my life, but I didn't expect to be shocked in my later years. Nature, no, I should say the universe is really amazing."

Puxian sighed, and his thoughts gradually began to drift away.

Sui Fengnen drew Puxian's attention back and asked the village chief, "Since we want to build a factory, we need land. Puxian's plan should have been completed by now, right?"

The thoughts that were drifting towards the universe were pulled down again, and Puxian nodded clearly: "The plan is still in the draft stage, but it is indeed time to start preparing."

Bai Zhen was completely confused after hearing this.

Do these two have any special plans?

"What plans are the two elders talking about?"

Puxian and Sui Fengren said in unison: "Yanhuo Village expansion plan!"
