Chapter 342 The Helplessness of Office Workers
On the morning of July 7, the weather was clear and cloudless.

Luo Mu got up early today and greeted the arrival of the new day with a refreshed spirit.

After all, today will be the first day of trial operation for the farm’s newly expanded milk subscription business.

For Luo Mu, the nine customers on the first day were willing to order Moo Moo milk even though Luo Mu did not reveal his name to anyone else. This trust must be continued.

Come to the ranch area.

After the high-intensity exercise yesterday afternoon, the big milk cans were obviously still a little confused. Not only were their eyelids drooping, but they also kept yawning.

With the help of Zhihuixing, the dazed big milk cans were brought to a newly built room on the edge of the ranch area.

In the room is a rather exquisite rectangular machine, made of the finest food-grade materials, with five milking positions that can just milk five large milk tanks at a time.

This machine is an automatic milking machine specially customized by Luo Mu from a manufacturer in Niaoguang City.

Fortunately, Luo Mu had already taken the big milk cans to experience the automatic milking machine a few days ago, and the big milk cans showed no aversion to having the cup-shaped objects worn on their bodies.

It is better to say that even though they are still a little confused at this time, they still have a feeling of anticipation in their hearts.

As they take in more nutrition, they will suffer from milk engorgement almost every morning.

If they had not yet learned how to operate the machines, they would not even need Luo Mu. They could operate the machines themselves to relieve their stress.

As the machine started running, a slight humming sound was emitted, and fresh milk from the large milk tanks was continuously squeezed out and flowed into the dust-proof milk barrel inside the machine through clean pipes that were cleaned every time.

Finally, use the machine's packaging function to inject it into the prepared glass bottle, seal it with a cap, and engrave the date on it.

It has to be said that technology has indeed liberated the labor force.

If Luo Mu were to perform all these operations, he would have to get up at least five or even four in the morning.

Because the total number of Moo Moo fresh milk ordered by customers is only forty bottles, each bottle is about 750 ml, and more Moo Moo fresh milk is still stored in machines with refrigeration function, waiting to be used by Luo Mu to make various dairy products.

After the five big milk cans had their mooing milk successfully squeezed out, they let out a satisfied cry and stepped aside.

Afterwards, the Mosquito Coil Frog King and Mosquito Coil Gentlemen who had been waiting for a long time cooperated with the self-cleaning function of the machine and began to clean the machine with foam light.

After cleaning, he immediately replaced the two lambs and came to the milking machine. After installing the milking device, he squeezed out a small bucket of goat milk in the same way.

When Luo Mu and Zhi Huixing arrived outside the special milking room with today's goods, the Steelixes with their heads held high had been waiting here for a long time under the leadership of Dragonite.

Yesterday, Luo Mu informed Sanmao that nine Steelixes were needed today. Dragonite would lead the team to deliver fresh Moo Moo milk and goat milk to nine households in Pingdie Town by air.

Next to the nine steel armor crows were placed black baskets that matched their jet-black metal armor.

The basket is also customized according to the size of the glass bottle and has special grooves to hold the glass bottle to prevent it from breaking due to collision during transportation.

After Luo Mu placed the corresponding Moo Moo Milk and goat milk according to the different destinations of each Steel Crow, several Steel Crows firmly grasped the black basket made of special material that was not easy to bend, took off one after another, and flew towards their destination.

That posture was just like the Steelix clan flying in the sky in the Galar region by grabbing the air taxi.

By this time the time had quietly arrived at 6:40 in the morning.

"Boooo~"

Dragonite waved goodbye to Luo Mu regretfully. This time it had a heavy task on its shoulders and couldn't give him a daily hug. It could only wait until the work was done before giving him a hug.

As Dragonite's orange-yellow figure disappeared into the sky, Luo Mu, who was gazing at the sky, stroked his chest and felt a rare sense of tension today.

But he also believes that Dragonite and Steelix, who have been trained and passed his own tests, can successfully complete the first delivery mission.

In the azure sky, Dragonite flapped its small dragon wings easily, with flowing wind surrounding its body, as if it was guarding its monarch.

Its eyes dropped downwards. Apart from the nine Steelix flying in a "V" shape, Dragonite's attention was more focused on the land outside of Pingdie Town, searching for the pink figure.

According to Luo Mu, as bird Pokémon with intelligent thinking abilities, Steelix are naturally suitable for delivery and aerial transportation jobs.

Their steel claws can firmly grasp the objects being transported, and they can even easily grab a carriage weighing hundreds of kilograms and fly hundreds of kilometers.

Steelix is ​​an expert at memorizing aerial routes. It will hardly ever forget a place it has been to once.

However, the biggest reason why Steelix taxi and delivery services are not popular in the Padia region and are even overtaken by Angry Parrot is the evolution chain of a Pokémon that lives in Padia.

The Small Forge, the Skillful Forge, and the Giant Forge.

In particular, the giant forger among them can even swing his huge hammer on the ground to knock down rocks and accurately hit the Steel Crow in the air.

The fact that they are distributed in the wild in the Padya region is the real reason why Steelix cannot be used for delivery and work in flying taxis.

Even at high altitudes, Dragonite has a pair of sharp eyes that are not inferior to any other bird. Its job today is to check whether there is any population of this species around Pingdie Town.

Fortunately, they seemed to have been blessed by the goddess of luck today, and there were no pink figures that were like ghosts to Steel Crow appearing near Pingdie Town.

But Dragonite didn't dare to be careless at all.

The reason is that Dragonite vaguely remembered that when he was taking a nap while floating in the sky, he seemed to have seen a pink figure with a hammer in the wild mountains or some ruins.

When all nine Steel Crows had completely flown into the area of ​​Pingdie Town and dispersed to their respective destinations, Dragonite flapped its wings to identify the scent of the nine Steel Crows in the air, and under the guidance of the wind, flew in the direction of the Steel Crow it was most worried about.

Pingdie Town, No. 145 Renmin Road.

Compared to the pigeon-cage-like apartment buildings, the residents here have lived in Pingdie Town for generations.

They bought the land at the most favorable price and lived in a residential area where "single-family" houses were built uniformly under the coordination of the previous mayor.

Zheng Xing, 29 years old this year, is a male and an office worker.

It is just like the growth trajectory of most ordinary people, or it can be said to be the blessing of his name.

Masayuki was both normal and lucky and had a happy childhood.

After entering society and starting to work, he met his current wife Hinata, fell in love and got married. This single-family house was also left by his parents. Without any pressure, he and his wife gave birth to their child, Himawari, who is now five years old.

But recently, Masayuki's lucky BUFF seems to have lost its effect. His virtuous wife, who works full-time at home, has developed a grudge against him for some inexplicable reason, and only expressed her dissatisfaction after Masayuki's repeated questioning.

It turns out that the five-year-old Sunflower is smaller and smaller than other girls of the same age in school. She looks thin and small, as if she is underdeveloped. School teachers have even visited her home many times, suspecting that the couple is secretly abusing children.

After his wife Hinata asked the mothers of other children, she found out that they had spent a lot of money to order the freshest Moo Moo milk from the neighboring Zhuotai City and delivered it via cold chain.

The other party also touted the huge difference in nutritional value between fresh Moo Moo milk and Moo Moo milk that has been stored for several days.

It was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. Hinata, the wife who had been secretly anxious, expressed some seemingly plausible complaints to her husband when he came home from get off work for the first time.

Basically, it's about why their families can't even afford fresh Moo Moo milk to supplement their children's nutrition, and can only go to the supermarket to buy refrigerated products that have been stored for who knows how many days.

Hinata, the wife, knew that she was being unreasonable and causing psychological pressure on her husband who worked hard to support the family. Feeling guilty, she wiped her tears and said that she might as well go to work at a ranch in the suburbs to earn some money to supplement the family income.

This made Masayuki silent and at the same time he felt a little powerless.

Sunflowers are now in the growth period, and a bottle of Moo Moo Milk a day is an essential consumption. Now Moo Moo Milk in the supermarket costs about 500 Alliance Coins, but if you order it from the next table market plus the transportation cost, the price of a bottle will be at least 1000 Alliance Coins.

The monthly expenses almost doubled, which was a heavy pressure for the small family where only Masako worked to support the family. But he really couldn't bear to let his wife, who took care of all the work at home and had to pick up and drop off the children, go to work.

Until a few days ago, on his way home from get off work, he met a familiar-looking man handing out flyers with a gorilla-like Pokémon.

Even though Masayuki once dreamed of becoming a trainer when he was young, the dream has long faded, and the original Pokémon, Scorching Crocodile, has now become his wife's cooking helper.

Only in his spare time would Masayuki open a can of beer, play old videotapes with a nostalgic look on his face, and watch the exciting Pokémon battles between trainers.

The young man was sure that he seemed to have seen the other person somewhere, but the fatigue from work made his brain rusty and difficult to function after get off work. He could not remember where he had seen the other person and just stood there.

By the time Masayuki came to his senses, the other party had already handed him a flyer with a smile.

For some reason, even though the other person was doing what could only be called a part-time job of handing out flyers, Masayuki felt that the other person's smile was so dazzling that it was irritating. After taking the flyer, he ran away as if he had been scalded.

That kind of self-confidence is the dazzling sun that Masayuki cannot face now.

When he got home, Zheng Xing realized that he was still holding the flyer. For some reason, he did not throw it into the trash can, but spread it out and started reading it.

When he noticed the slogan, Masayuki was stunned and looked surprised.

It was a flyer promoting a milk subscription service, which said that the service used fresh milk squeezed daily and delivered that morning. The price was within Zheng Xing's affordable range.

Perhaps wanting to take a gamble, he chose to send his residential address and order letter to the address on the flyer.

Then, time passed and soon the agreed delivery time arrived.

Fortunately, I got up early today, and even my wife and daughter were still sleeping soundly.

In the dark living room, Masayuki walked around the table anxiously, and even walked carefully for fear of waking up his sleeping wife and children.

Until the old clock hanging on the wall stopped at six fifty-five in the morning, and there was a knock on the door on time.

Masayuki was like he had waited for his savior. He almost used his hands and feet to come to the door, opened it gently, and showed an expectant smile: "Good morning."

Masayuki's gaze fell on the person knocking on the door. His words paused and his expression became slightly dull.

What did he see?
A simple-minded Dragonite and a brave-looking Steelix with three scratches on his chest!

In Dragonite's hand, in the black basket were the two bottles of Moo Moo Milk that Masayuki had ordered!
One bottle was for Hinata, his wife who took care of the housework and the children, and the other was for his growing daughter Himawari.

As a current office worker who once dreamed of becoming a powerful trainer, Masayuki still knows a lot of Pokémon, except for the white-haired gorilla next to the young man that day.

The two Pokémon in front of him were Dragonite, a dragon-type Pokémon that was extremely rare and synonymous with power.

And the Steel Crow, who was wearing black armor and seemed to reflect a breathtaking cold light under the sunlight, perfectly hit the XP hidden deep in Masayuki's heart.

Both Pokémon are powerful and handsome, and were the powerful Pokémon that Masayuki had always dreamed of when he was a trainer.

Oh my God, is he behind the times?

Now, there are still people using Pokémon like Dragonite and Steelix, which are both pretty and powerful, to distribute Moo Moo Milk? !
