Chapter 236 Building a Salt House, Luo Duanshui Master Mu

After saying goodbye to Mudan, Luo Mu went directly to the chairman's office and explained Mudan's situation to Ye Ci who was in the office.

Even Yeci was surprised to hear that Mudan was the daughter and niece of the former champion and current president of the Galar region.

She quickly pulled up Mudan's information, but found that there was indeed no trace of anything relevant.

If it was to satisfy Mudan's wish of not being disturbed by anyone and just wanting to go to school quietly, we can conclude that the Galar region must have helped cover it up.

Although he was somewhat skeptical, Ye Ci still ordered people to suppress the Mudan incident, thus cutting off the fuse that could lead to hostility between the two regions.

After hanging up the phone, Ye Ci frowned and looked at Luo Mu, asking in confusion: "That child, does Mudan really intend to swallow this anger?"

Luo Mu nodded: "She said that although some unpleasant things happened, she still likes the atmosphere of Orange College. Not only does she not want to affect the relationship between the two regions, she also doesn't want this to reach her father's ears."

Ye Ci was even more confused: "Why?"

"If my overly doting father knew about this, he would definitely go to Orange Academy and go crazy regardless of the consequences. I will really die this time. Please don't let things turn out like this."

"Although my uncle has a bad relationship with my father, he actually has a good relationship with my sisters and me in private. My uncle is a real capitalist, and his methods are even more troublesome."

Luo Mu paused suspiciously for a moment, then said awkwardly, "These are Mudan's original words."

Yeci: “.”

Well, it seems that part of the reason why Mudan came to Orange College to attend classes was that she wanted to get away from her somewhat eccentric father.

"I understand. I will suppress this matter. I will find other reasons to expel those people who bullied her, including the teacher who knew about it but did not report it."

"Okay, that will cause trouble for the president."

Luo Mu nodded, turned and left the chairman's office.

As soon as he left the chairman's office, Luo Mu saw Mudan squatting next to him. She was fiddling with her favorite Eevee backpack out of boredom.

Seeing Luo Mu coming out, Mudan's eyes hidden behind the frame lit up at first, then she hesitated. She wanted to ask Luo Mu what the result was, but she couldn't open her mouth for a long time.

A blush appeared on Mudan's snow-white cheeks due to anxiety, but it was not so obvious under the dim light.

Luo Mu knew that this girl was prone to social phobia, so he smiled and said, "President Ye Ci has agreed to suppress the matter. The students who bullied you and the teachers who indulged them will also receive due punishment, but they will be punished in a different name. Is that okay with you?"

"Ah."

Mudan nodded and responded in a voice as soft as a mosquito's.

She felt that this was good enough, she could continue her leisurely campus life, the bad guys were punished, and the relationship between the two alliances would not deteriorate because of her.

The most important thing is, you don’t have to worry about your father coming over to make you socially dead.

"Thank you for your help, teacher. I will go back to the dormitory first."

Mudan bowed slightly, she already wanted to go back to the dormitory and play video games with Eevee to soothe her tired soul.

After all, Mudan had been communicating with people for half a year in one breath today. That was really great. She must reward herself.

Peony thought proudly in her heart.

"Oh well, be careful on your way back."

Looking at Mudan, whose mood had inexplicably become high, Luo Mu nodded. The security in Orange Academy was already very good, not to mention that it was the period of Ye Ci's "Rat Extermination Plan". It was not an exaggeration to say that there were Alliance operators and police officers everywhere.

When Mudan's back gradually faded away, Luo Mu withdrew his gaze, with a sigh on his face, thinking to himself: "The father is Pioni, and the uncle is Roz? This background is no less impressive than Nemo and Piper. No wonder he can become one of the protagonists in the game."

When we returned to the farm, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening.

Luo Mu happened to run into the Haoli Engineering Team who were returning home after work. He heard from them that the salt house should be completed in the next two days, which made Luo Mu excited for a moment.

In this way, you can collect the rock salt rubbed by the salt stone treasures for your own consumption or sell.

The rock salt produced by Yanshibao is a by-product of the same grade as the cotton wool produced by Baifengpeng. Even though its selling price is many times higher than that of ordinary rock salt, it is still sought after by the public.

The reason is very simple, not just because the rock salt produced by Salt Stone can heal Pokémon's injuries.

Its taste is also much better than ordinary salt. High-end restaurants will never use ordinary salt when they can use Salt Stone Rock Salt. Some restaurants even spread rumors that long-term consumption of Salt Stone Rock Salt can improve the physical fitness and immunity of humans and Pokémon.

All these are the reasons why rock salt is popular. Although the first-stage Salt Stone Treasures do not produce much salt every day, after they are cultivated and grown, the second-stage Salt Stone Barriers and the third-stage Salt Stone Giants can even produce more and better rock salt.

It is very appropriate to describe Yanshibao as a banknote printing machine.

Looking forward to the completion of the salt house, Luo Mu handed the cleaned lunch box to Zhihuixing, interacted with the Pokémon for a while, and then returned to his room and fell asleep.

May 4, weekend.

After Luo Mu fed the fish fry he raised in Leiming Lake... No, now they have grown a lot bigger and are no longer fish fry. It is expected that they will grow into fat big fish to fill his stomach in a few months.

I observed the state of the secret seasoning again. There was not much change in a short period of time, but I could see from the appearance that these secret seasonings had a vigorous breath of life, and at least there was no possibility of withering.

"Mysterious Hill~~"

At this time, Mimikyu suddenly jumped out from the shadow of the plant. The shadow, which it used as a hand and could be said to be commanding as if it were an arm, grabbed Luo Mu's trouser leg and asked him to follow it.

"Mimicho? Aren't you over there observing the construction team building the salt house?"

Luo Mu was a little confused at first, but he soon understood what Mimikyuu meant.

The Rock House is finished!
Just as Luo Mu came to this conclusion, the cell phone in his pocket rang. After he answered the call, the contractor's generous voice came through.

It turned out to be the news that the salt house was completed.

With Mimikyuu, they quickly arrived near the salt house. In addition to the construction workers from the Haoli Engineering Team, there were also many Pokémon gathered here, looking at the built salt house curiously.

Among them, the Salt Stone Treasures were the most excited, because the appearance of the salt house was not much different from the house they lived in at Ali Ranch, which completely dispelled the slight sense of uneasiness they still had after arriving in an unfamiliar environment.

The overall appearance of the salt house is like a huge rock that has been neatly cut, simulating the caves where salt stone treasures in the wild often live. It can be regarded as a building that fits the wild growth environment.

The opening of the house door is designed to be two and a half meters high and nearly three meters wide. Usually, a curtain is used as the door. This is Luo Mu's suggestion. The salt stone treasures will definitely evolve into salt stone giants in the future. Instead of rebuilding the salt house at that time, it is better to make proper preparations from the beginning.

When you enter the salt house, what you see is a "floor" that looks a bit strange.

There are some tiny diamond-shaped structures on the surface of the floor, and the way they are densely packed together would simply make people with trypophobia ecstatic.

Seeing that Luo Mu didn't say anything and was just observing the floor, the contractor thought that Luo Mu didn't know what the effect of the floor was, so he immediately introduced it: "These gaps can effectively collect the rock salt produced by the salt stone treasures that rub against their bodies when moving. When you need to recycle it, you just need to lift up the floor like this and take out the box installed underneath."

As if afraid that Luo Mu didn't understand, the contractor even demonstrated again how to operate it.

The other party was so enthusiastic that Luo Mu was too embarrassed to say that he knew the operation very well and embarrassed the other party. He pretended not to understand and learned it, then paid the balance and sent the contractor and his team away.

Not to mention, the cost of building the salt house is not cheap, almost as much as the price of a single large milk tank. The extravagance in the past few days has caused Luo Mu's savings to fall below 300,000.

Fortunately, whether it is the Salt Stone Treasure, the lamb mount, or the White Fluffy, their by-products are accumulated over time.

In addition, it has been a month since a new batch of crops were planted in the farming area. With the catalysis of the green grassland, another harvest will be available around May.

There are plenty of opportunities to make money, which will be just enough to advance the farm's infrastructure plan in one go.

"Salt! Salt!"

Just as Luo Mu was lost in thought, he heard several anxious cries outside the salt house, which made him realize that the salt and stone treasures had not yet entered the house to experience it. He hurriedly let the salt and stone treasures go into the salt house with an apologetic look on his face.

Sure enough, after entering the salt house, the salt stone treasures all smiled as if they had returned home, and they felt more relaxed than ever before. Luo Mu took the opportunity to pour a bag of fresh soil into the stone bowl next to them for them to enjoy.

The salt stone treasures immediately cheered with joy. The three small bodies surrounded the stone bowl which was several times larger than them and ate the soil frantically. It was obvious that they were very satisfied with this food.

Seeing the happy faces of the salt and stone treasures, a smile also appeared on Luo Mu's face. As if he remembered something, Luo Mu suddenly muttered to himself:
"Rock-type Pokémon usually eat soil, ore, and normal Pokémon food. Although I can buy them directly, I have to go to the town of Anaza tomorrow anyway. I will find a chance to explore the nearby mines and try to see if I can be self-sufficient."

"If we eat better, the quality of rock salt we produce will be better."

This is not a losing business at all, and Luo Mu will do his best to give his Pokémon a better life.

He has to make money while ensuring the physical and mental health of his Pokémon. He doesn't have the habit of exploiting his own Pokémon.

After leaving the salt house and saying goodbye to the salt stone treasures who were happily playing the stacking game in the salt house, Luo Mu took out a set of equipment from the warehouse, as well as a cleaned bucket and some glass bottles that were originally purchased to store honey.

That’s right, Luo Mu is now going to the pasture area to find his mount and lambs to milk.

On the way, he happened to meet a monarch snake that had finished inspecting the farming area. With the help of its vine whip, Luo Mu instantly felt a lot more relaxed while carrying so many things.

The body of the monarch snake snakes forward with an elegant and noble posture, and it can be seen that it has always maintained a very good temperament.

Looking at the figure of the Monarch Snake, Luo Mu suddenly asked: "Is the relationship between you and the Moltres not so good?"

"Gallo."

The monarch snake's body stiffened, and it turned its head away and snorted. How could they have a bad relationship? Luo Mu was obviously overthinking it.

"Huh"

Luo Mu raised his eyebrows and decided to just take it as it was, even though Mimikyu had already told him about the conflict between Serpentier and Moltres before he came back.

Pretending to be indifferent, Luo Mu said to the monarch snake: "Since you two have a good relationship, I want to ask you a favor."

"It's now living in the birdhouse built for it by the eaves. As you know, this small house is actually very old, and various parts are not very solid. If you have time after milking, go and help Moltres reinforce its birdhouse."

A hint of disbelief flashed across the Monarch Snake's brows. It licked its face and went to reinforce Moltres' bird house?

Isn't it simply inferior to Moltres for no reason?!
When it comes to understanding the personalities of monarch snakes in this farm, Luo Mu considers himself to be the best. He is also well aware that monarch snakes have the common arrogance of their species, and coupled with his experiences as vine snakes, he has developed a kindness that is now hidden beneath their arrogance.

Whether it was the fact that it rescued the drowning Nemo without hesitation, or its participation in the rescue of the kidnapped child, it can be seen that the monarch snake is actually very kind at heart, but this kindness is hidden by its proud and sharp shell.

The reason why it has a bad relationship with Moltres is simply because it has been a jealous person since its time with Serpentine, and it is also afraid that the new members will take away its share of "love".

In fact, Moltres didn't have that intention at all. Apart from Arcanine, eating, and fighting, it seldom thought about anything else in its mind.

So, Moltres, who found the inexplicable hostility of Serpentier very puzzled, also chose to confront it head-on.

The method to resolve their grievances is very simple. After returning the book lent to him by Joey from Pingdie Town, Luo Mu read a lot of psychology books and understood the solution to this problem.

He just needs to let the monarch snake know that no one can take away the attention that belongs to it.

It is easier said than done. Since returning to the farm and hearing the cause of the incident from Mimikyu, Luo Mu has been thinking about how to make the monarch snake feel safe again and has scrapped many manuscripts.

Finally, I found the opportunity today.

"You are an important person who has accompanied me all the way to this point. The six of you are irreplaceable to me, and this will never change."

"Molten has only been at the farm for more than two months. I don't need to explain the difference in your status in my heart, right?"

The slightly ambiguous and vague words also leave room for the monarch snake's imagination. Given its usual tendency to use imagination, this should have a good effect.

In fact, the Monarch Snake did hesitate, and the tip of its tail twitched in a tangled manner. It was easily satisfied and instantly felt safe. It even began to worry that its hostility towards Moltres was a little too inexplicable.

After a moment, Serpent's face turned slightly red, and it raised its head to look to the other side, with an expression and demeanor that a tsundere character often uses, and hummed, indicating that in this case, it would graciously take on the job of reinforcing the bird house for Moltres.

At the same time, the monarch snake was secretly delighted, because it was one of the special six.

Taking in all the expressions on the monarch snake's face, Luo Mu smiled as if he had mastered his plan.

Of course, it is not enough to just deal with Serpentine to resolve the conflict between Serpentine and Moltres. In fact, Moltres has already taken care of it on her own.

At that time, Moltres will think that Serpentier is helping it reinforce the bird house out of regret and is showing goodwill to it. Naturally, it will not say much since it has no intention of conflicting with Serpentier.

Naturally, there was no possibility of the monarch snake being exposed.

As expected of him, he not only kept things fair, but also defuse conflicts with clever words.
