I, the Pokémon Master, now resign

Looking at him with a crying face, Bai Chen couldn't help sighing in his heart.

......

090 So the guy controlled by the daughter is really troublesome (3/3)

"Phew... Finally relaxed... How is it? Have you calmed down?"

Filling the glass of lemonade for the vegetable shop owner, Bai Chen asked with a sigh of relief.

Although Bai Chen was caught by him almost an hour ago, and he was almost drowned in bitter water, but no matter what, there were still so many orders waiting for him at that time, even if the guys who ordered were just to take a look at Ma Li came.

However, after delaying this blessing, Bai Chen had an excuse to sneak away from the vegetable shop owner for the time being. After all, everyone is in business, so he naturally understands the principle that customers should not be delayed, so the vegetable shop owner has experienced a lot of struggles. Then he temporarily gave up.

It was said that he gave up, but the vegetable shop owner couldn't resolve the depression provoked by Bai Chen, so he just sat here, waiting for Bai Chen to be free before preparing to confide in him.

"Thank...thank you..."

The vegetable shop owner held up the lemonade, first thanked him, then drank it in one gulp, his expression wrinkled into a ball.

"If you're not very good at eating sour, don't be brave. This is not wine. What are you doing here..."

Bai Chen reluctantly took the quilt that was empty again, but this time he didn't refill the cup for the other party, but put the cup on top of the counter, waiting for the coming offensive of bitterness.

The other customers in the store had already left at this time, and after going through so many hours of torture, Ma Li also showed a tired look and came to sit next to Bai Chen, although she didn't know whether she should or not at this time. She left, but after seeing Bai Chen's embarrassed look, she still decided to sit here and listen to this guest's distress. After all, listening to two people together would be less stressful than alone.

"..." Seeing Ma Li sitting next to him, Bai Chen didn't express any rejection, but just nodded his head in tacit agreement.

"Then what kind of trouble did you encounter to moan so much? Is it related to your family?"

"Ugh......"

Under Bai Chen's questioning, the owner of the vegetable shop sighed again, and then slowly expressed his difficulties.

"Actually...it's related to the Pokémon watch...Didn't I promise my daughter to take her to buy the Pokémon watch sold in advance?"

"Well, that's right..."

Bai Chen nodded his head to express his understanding, while Ma Li on the side didn't seem to have heard of Pokémon Watches, and showed a puzzled expression for a while, because she didn't know what it was, so Ma Li could only temporarily regard it as something special. watch to look at.

"So?" Bai Chen continued, "Is it fake news as expected?"

The term "inside sales" itself has a strange meaning, or it should be sold openly in the society, and if there are difficulties, then it should not be sold at all. Why do we have to deal with internal sales?This is not a problem so what is it?

Originally, Bai Chen had already attributed the reason for the other party's loss to false news, but who would have thought that the next second the owner of the vegetable shop would shake his head and deny Bai Chen's statement.

"No, internal sales are real. When my daughter and I arrived at Celebration City, we did see someone wearing a Pokémon watch."

"Huh? Is it true..." Bai Chen was stunned for a moment because of the result and his guess, but the next second he began to ask doubtfully: "Since it is confirmed that it is an internal sales So, what are you worrying about? It can’t be because the price is too high, right? Wasn’t the price still passable when I watched the promotion on TV?”

Bai Chen's words made the owner of the vegetable shop shake his head like a rattle, and he quickly denied it loudly: "If only the price is a little higher! For the sake of my daughter's happiness, even if I have to pay for a month's wages, I will pay you." I will definitely buy it! Do you understand it or not!"

"...Sorry, I really don't understand..."

"Hmm... hard to understand..."

Not only Bai Chen, but even Ma Li began to show a little disgusted expression, maybe she saw someone's shadow from the old father's words.

But to be honest, this guy spoils his daughter too much, right?A month's wages to buy a watch?If his wife finds out, it might not be as simple as kneeling on the washboard. If the other party wishes, I can provide him with a nut dumbbell. Kneeling a nut dumbbell should be a good choice. Dumbbells look like they're shiny, don't they? (laugh)

"So? What the hell are you bothering about? Please finish it all at once, please? I'm not a big idler either...I'm going to tidy up the store and go for a walk after that."

"You're obviously very busy..." The vegetable shop owner glanced at Bai Chen and complained like this, but he also knew that procrastinating like this didn't seem good, so he simply told the truth. "In fact, my daughter and I have already found the place where the Pokémon watch is sold in the store, and the other party has even handed over the watch I want to buy, but at this moment, she...she...she Received a call, and then said "I'm really sorry, because I received a call from the boss, saying that there are still many problems with Pokémon watches, so the sale is now suspended", and then they...closed up. "

"what......"

After listening to this statement, Bai Chen made a sound like that, and then shook his head helplessly.

I didn't expect the ending to be like this. Isn't it as tragic as "the cooked duck flew away"?

"That's it... That's no wonder, after all, the things that were almost at hand suddenly disappeared, and anyone would be in a bad mood..."

"Right! It's already handed over! She gave me this watch first and then said she wouldn't sell it! Why did she have to be stuck with me! It's all because of this incident, which made my daughter feel lost for a long time , until now I don’t really want to talk...I shut myself in the room all day...Damn it——! Why on earth! Could it be that someone is targeting me behind my back!"

To put it bluntly, it's all because you dote on your daughter too much, so it ended up like this... It's just a watch, how many people would lock themselves in a room because of this...

Of course, Bai Chen didn't say these words, he didn't want to add fuel to the fire at this time, otherwise the crazy father in front of him didn't know what "long speeches" he would say.

"Alright, alright, since we've finished talking, please leave, I have to clean up quickly..."

"By the way!? If I entrust this matter to Wanshiwu... Mr. Bai Chen, can I ask you..."

"How could it be possible!"

Finally, Bai Chen couldn't bear it any longer and interrupted him rudely.

Just kidding, I am just the owner of a small coffee shop and master house, where can I get him a Pokémon watch?

......

091 The Man With Glasses I Haven't Seen For A Long Time, The New Commission Is...

It has been 4 days since Mary came to work in the coffee shop. During this period, the number of customers in the coffee shop every day is comparable to the peak period in the past. Although it is not as busy as the first day, it is still enough Let Bai Chen work until normal rest every day, and now it is even a luxury for him to take an early rest.

"It's crazy... don't these guys have their own business every day?"

In the everything room, Bai Chen covered his tired face from the recent high-intensity work. To be honest, he never thought that he would be so tired just by cooking something to eat.

"Doesn't that mean that Teacher Bai Chen's craftsmanship has been affirmed?"

"Although this is not my credit..."

"Ok?"

Ma Li tilted her head as if she didn't quite understand what Bai Chen's words meant, but if she didn't understand, Bai Chen could only smile, she had to understand this kind of thing by herself.

"But... are you here because of some commission?"

Mary looked around the master house curiously and asked.

Today, after the morning training, Ma Li followed Bai Chen to the coffee shop as usual. At first, Ma Li thought it would be open as usual today, but who would have thought that as soon as Bai Chen entered the coffee shop, he would put out a long-awaited expression without saying a word? The signboard "Closed for one day today" was prepared in the corner, and then hid in the master house, until now.

"Consignment? There are not so many commissions in this small town. The purpose of coming here today is to rest and recuperate. Who can support it after working so long every day~"

"Just for this reason..."

Seeing Bai Chen shaking the chair nonchalantly, Ma Li felt that she had a new understanding of Bai Chen today.

"Of course, a person must learn to relax himself properly. I don't have any special goals to accomplish now, so there is nothing better than being idle here, and the entrustment system of Master House adopts the It is in the form of phone or email. Although there will always be people who don’t know the rules and go directly to the coffee shop to make commissions, but today the coffee shop is closed. Will someone know that I am here, and then knock on the back door of the master house? ?"

"Bang bang bang~~ Is there anyone??"

"...Okay, I take back what I just said...So can you stop looking at me with that kind of eyes..."

At this time, the inexplicable admiration in Ma Li's eyes was more uncomfortable to Bai Chen than the mocking eyes.

But who could have imagined this?Obviously, no one has knocked on the back door of Wanshiwu directly since it opened. Generally, people who obey the rules directly call or use emails to entrust. Who would knock on the door if it's okay?

Originally, I thought that I could have a complete rest today by hiding in the master room, but facing the continuous knocking on the door, Bai Chen had nothing to do. If Ma Li wasn’t here, he might pretend he wasn’t there, but Ma Li is here now. side watching myself...

"Ugh."

As a teacher, he still had to maintain a little image, so Bai Chen had no choice but to stand up and walk towards the door, and opened the back door without any expression.

"what?!"

The sudden opening of the door made the man who was knocking on the door stunned, but after seeing Bai Chen standing opposite, he showed a reassuring expression, and said in surprise: "It's okay... Sure enough, you Right here."

"It turned out to be you..."

At first, I thought who was knocking on the door, but I didn't expect it to be the man with glasses who had been away for a long time because of work. Bai Chen still remembers what he said before he left. The chance to meet again, but now the other party came directly to the door......

Ah, so it seems that Bai Chen himself told the man with glasses that he would hide in the master house alone in his free time...

Tsk, careless.

Bai Chen clicked his lips silently, and couldn't help but feel regret for his carelessness at the beginning.

"Long time no see, Mr. Bai Chen." The man with eyes nodded to Bai Chen, smiled slightly and said, "It's a good thing you're in the house of everything, otherwise I'll have to wait until tomorrow to ask you this matter. "

"Ah...um...do you have something to entrust..."

Although Bai Chen's expression looked a little stiff, since the other party had already come to the door, he had no reason not to listen, so he could only turn sideways to let the man with eyes come in.

......

"Please."

The man with eyes was led by Bai Chen to the front desk of Wanshiwu. Ma Li, who was at the side, saw the guest coming, so she pulled a stool over so that the guest could communicate face to face with Bai Chen who was sitting at the front desk.

"Ah, thank you. By the way, is this the employee you hired, Mr. Bai Chen?"

"It doesn't count, it should be said that you volunteered to help... In short, a lot of things happened during the time you left, but the content is not easy to explain. Let me talk about the content you want to entrust first. Bar."

Bai Chen casually dealt with the glasses man's problem, then sat in the front desk, his expression became serious, and he finally entered the working state.

"However, I still want to say something first, Wanshiwu will not accept all commissions, but there are certain conditions."

"I know this. I did some research before coming here, although the results of the investigation are not many."

The man with glasses smiled wryly. It is really not an easy task to investigate Wanshiwu. After all, he has not received any formal commission since the establishment of Wanshiwu. In the end, the man with glasses only got Bai Chen's ability to go deep into Tianguan Mountain. He was just looking for a missing resident, and he didn't know the more specific details. The reason why he chose to come to the Master House to entrust the task in such a hurry was because he was really in a hurry now, but he couldn't find any other way. .

"Hmm... Do we need to go through a special investigation... It seems that it is not a simple commission..."

"Yes, the matter I want to entrust to you is indeed not simple... and there is a certain degree of danger." The man with glasses did not hide anything, but directly affirmed Bai Chen's guess, and then said: "First Let me introduce you, my name is Makoto Ueda, I first worked at the Baoke Watch Company in Zhuqing City, and I was the propaganda director there."

"Bao Ke Watch Company?"

"Mr. Bai Chen, don't you know his name?"

After the man finished his self-introduction, Bai Chen and Ma Li seemed to have different concerns, but Ueda, who is the head of publicity, didn't care, and directly expressed his commission request.

"That's it, and I came this time mainly to ask Mr. Bai Chen to help you develop the Pokémon watch that still has loopholes, so that it can appear on the market earlier."

......

092 Iceberg Ruins?Scary unknown Pokémon?

"Huh? Help develop..."

"Pokémon watch?"

Not only Bai Chen, but even Ma Li felt strange.

This sounds like something technical, what's the use of asking Bai Chen for help?

"Mr. Bai Chen, do you know how to program?"

"I have so much hair, how is it possible, do you think I look like a programmer?"

"...It is my fault......"

Let's not talk about whether the conversation between Bai Chen and Ma Li hurt some people, but after thinking about it carefully, Ma Li naturally ruled out the idea that Bai Chen has mastered this skill. His character has completely demonstrated that he is a person who cannot sit still. If he is really allowed to face the computer screen all day long, maybe he will go berserk one day.

Seeing that there seemed to be some misunderstanding between Bai Chen and Ma Li, the glasses man Ueda Zhen quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, it's not about this problem. Please don't get me wrong. In fact, my commission is to ask you to help our company investigate. The detailed topography of a place."

"Surveying the terrain?" Bai Chen was curious about Ueda Makoto's words again.

"Well, I don't know if you have heard of the survey site, but it is a place called the Iceberg Ruins in the north of Qiefeng City."

"..."

Bai Chen has stayed in the Shen'ao area for so long, so of course he has heard of the iceberg ruins.

According to legend, the Iceberg Ruins is the resting place of Regis, one of the three pillars of the gods. It is precisely because of Regis' reputation that countless archaeological teams have entered the Iceberg Ruins, and countless trainers have come here admiringly. , all to find clues related to Regis, but in the end no matter how many people came, no one found clues related to Regis, so until now the iceberg ruins have gradually faded out of people's vision. Standing there as a symbol of the past, the iceberg ruins that have not been inhabited for a long time seem to have become the habitat of ice-type Pokémon.

"I have heard of the iceberg ruins, and I know a little about the ruins." Bai Chen replied.

"Since this is the case, in fact... our company has such a slogan when promoting the Pokémon Watch, "But for any place that has been thoroughly explored, the terrain of that area will be recorded in detail on the Pokémon Watch. An electronic topographic map is also provided for your reference." "

"So, you pulled down the iceberg ruins and didn't record them, so do you want me to go? But it's not difficult to enter the iceberg ruins, right? Didn't you say that you have professional equipment? And the paper maps of the iceberg ruins are everywhere There should be a backup in the archives, right?"

Ueda shook his head and said: "It would be great if it was that simple... It is because of some abnormality in the iceberg ruins that caused our drawing work to have problems... I bought the Poké released by our company One of the dream watch trainers went to explore the iceberg ruins on the day he got the watch, but then he came to our company with injuries all over his body, saying that the map on the Pokémon watch and the actual It was completely different, so he was injured, our company also lost a lot of money privately, and we quickly stopped selling and recovered some Pokémon watches afterwards.”

"Ah... So that's how it is... That's why the owner of the vegetable shop couldn't buy a Pokémon watch that day..."

Bai Chen and Ma Li looked at each other and smiled, they didn't expect such a coincidence.

Ma Li and Bai Chen were smiling over there, but Ueda Makoto, who was the rightful lord, had a sad face on his face.

"Oh... If it's really because of our mistakes, then things will be easy to handle, just go to investigate the iceberg ruins again, but the problem is... the map in the Pokémon table and the alliance give The official area is actually the same. For the sake of rigor, we went to the iceberg ruins that day, and used the machine to roughly measure the terrain inside three times, but in the end we found that the results of each measurement were completely different. ah!"

"Ok?"

"Why does it sound... a bit like a ghost story..."

Hearing this, Bai Chen's expression changed from curious to dignified, while Ma Li showed an uncomfortable expression and stroked her arms.
