Elf: No, it's because he was made the gym leader!

"Is it really okay for it to be like this?" Xiao Lan asked worriedly.

Panting like this on the ground isn't a good idea.

"It's okay, this is normal, it will be fine in a little while."

This conclusion has already been verified in Patchlitz.

It's caused by the energy cubes being of too high a quality to be digested; there are no side effects.

Cynthia glanced at Lu Yuan subconsciously.

"you made it yourself?"

Lu Yuan didn't try to hide anything and readily admitted it.

“Yes, I have other flavors too.” As he spoke, Lu Yuan pulled out a handful of colorful energy cubes from his pocket.

Cynthia took one and examined it.

Perfect quality again!

"You even know how to breed?" Cynthia asked incredulously.

Prior to this, Lu Yuan had already demonstrated remarkable talent in research and combat, and now he has even ventured into breeding.

"I know a little, I know a little," Lu Yuan said modestly.

My LV4 Energy Cube crafting skills must be considered as showing off my limited skills in Cynthia's eyes, right?

???

Do you know a little?

The energy cubes in Guang Luyuan's hands are enough to instantly kill a group of experienced advanced breeders.

Cynthia fell into deep thought and began to re-examine Lu Yuanlai in front of her.

Could it be that battling and research are just his hobbies, while breeding is his main job?

Lu Yuan turned to Dr. Yamanashi and smiled, "Dr. Yamanashi, I feel like I have a special connection with it, could you...?"

Upon hearing this, Dr. Yamanashi was taken aback, then understood what Lu Yuan meant.

"Haha, the spirit in this mountain has been released, if it wants to."

With Dr. Yamanashi's permission, Lu Yuan patted the Salt Stone Giant's thigh: "How about it? Interested in following me? We'll have as many energy cubes as you want."

Wait, why does this sentence sound so familiar?

"coax?"

You can have as many as you want, really?

But then it shook its head. What would happen to its people if it left?

Lu Yuan noticed its concerns.

"That's easy, just take them all!"

Salt Stone Giant: ?

Dr. Yamanashi: ?

“Lu Yuan, you need to think this through. There are over a hundred Salt Stone Treasures and Salt Stone Fortresses here.”

"Their basic monthly expenses alone amount to millions!"

"Don't worry about me, Dr. Yamanashi, little Qian." Lu Yuan waved his hand, indicating that Dr. Yamanashi could rest assured.

Dr. Yamanashi: ......

Are you really not planning to leave any for me?

Upon hearing this, the Salt Stone Giant's eyes lit up, and without any further hesitation, it immediately agreed.

She hurriedly urged Lu Yuan to pick up the Poké Ball, afraid that he might change his mind at any moment.

"Look at you, so impatient."

Lu Yuan patted the Salt Stone Giant, "Don't you still need to give your people some gifts?"

I counted the energy cubes in my hand, only to find that there weren't nearly enough to go around.

At that moment, Patchlitz suddenly came into Lu Yuan's view.

He looked at Pachlitz, who was completely bewildered.

After Patchlitz's brain overloaded, he tentatively pulled an energy cube from his tail.

Lu Yuan accepted it with gratitude.

A rough estimate suggests that we are still short about one hundred more.

He looked at Patchlitz expectantly again.

This time, however, Patchlitz turned his back on her and refused to hand over another one.

These energy cubes were all saved up by him through frugality.

Lu Yuan immediately launched into a lecture: "Patchlitz, look, if you distributed the Power Cubes to the Saltstone Treasures and Saltstone Fortresses right now, wouldn't they be incredibly grateful to you?"

"When they come to our house in the future, if you ask them for salt again, won't they feel embarrassed to refuse you?"

Patchlitz nodded almost imperceptibly, as if he thought Lu Yuan's words made a lot of sense.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan intensified his efforts: "They say first impressions are very important. If you can improve your image in their minds, they might not only ask for it, but they might even give it to you on their own initiative."

"Just imagine, with over a hundred Salt Stone Treasures and Salt Stone Fortresses, wouldn't you be able to collect over a hundred portions of salt blocks every day!"

"Jipa! (⊙o⊙)!"

Patchlitz suddenly realized that this was called investing, as he had seen it online!

There is a flaw!

Taking advantage of Pachilis's momentary lapse in attention, Lu Yuan grabbed its tail.

It is said that squirrels have the habit of hoarding food, and Patch Liz is no exception.

With its scavenging ability, it always hides excess food in its tail.

Lu Yuan rummaged through its tail, and all sorts of food piled up like a small mountain.

The sheer variety is dazzling: tree fruits, snacks, energy cubes...

In terms of food alone, it can hold more than Gengar's four-dimensional pocket.

Lu Yuan distributed the energy cubes here to Salt Stone Treasure and Salt Stone Fortress, and they even had some left over.

As Patchlitz watched her stockpile of food dwindle at a visible rate, tears welled up in her eyes.

This is an investment, this is an investment...

Looking at Patchlitz, who was lost in self-numbing, Lu Yuan said with a pang of pity, "I'll pay you back later."

......

Salt Stone Treasure and Salt Stone Fortress accepted the energy cubes sent by Lu Yuan.

They're used to moving, and just hope the food there will be better than here.

Swallow the energy cubes of different colors.

!!!

In an instant.

Dazzling golden rays erupted forth like a volcanic eruption...

That day, all the Pokémon on the mountain saw the light.

Lu Yuan was very satisfied.

Once you've learned all the necessary skills, you can go to Old Deng's warehouse and find a few skill discs to complete the rest, and you'll be basically set up.

Two and a half minutes had passed since the Salt Stone Treasure and Salt Stone Fortresses began emitting golden light.
