Chapter 184 The Idea of Buying the Island
Chapter 184 The Idea of Buying the Island
As the history of bridges has progressed, the Unova region has also entered a period of rapid development.
Around 200 years ago, a wealthy merchant bought Liberty Garden Island and named it.
When Xuan Mingtian saw this introduction, a dazzling light flashed in his eyes. The word 'island' kept flashing through his mind, and for a moment he felt an urge to buy an island. He forcibly suppressed it, but unconsciously whispered it out.
Xiao Gang, who noticed Xuan Mingtian's unusual behavior, spoke up first: "Xiao Tian, what's wrong with you? Why are you talking to yourself like that, saying things like 'island'? Well…"
At this point, Xiao Gang, playing the role of a character, looked at Xuan Mingtian with a panicked expression. This prompted the latter to roll his eyes at him.
"What are you talking about? Your mind is completely off-topic, thinking about the Sinnoh region."
Xuan Mingtian retorted without hesitation in response to Xiao Gang's statement.
"Am I wrong? You've been muttering about some island to yourself. If you don't believe me, ask Binzi and your brother."
(Because of class schedules, Xuan Mingtian's younger brother was assigned to sit with him, while Xiao Qingmei sat with the class monitor.)
"Brother Tian, I heard it too."
"Yes, yes, brother, I heard what you just said. I thought you had gone mad, but it turns out you're like this."
After saying this, Xuanwu Ye still had a hint of regret on his face, as if he would be happy that his older brother had become stupid. Although he was only a little over three years old, he had been nourished by the essence of life since childhood. His intelligence and physical abilities far surpassed those of his peers.
After his younger brother uttered those words, he was met with a series of slaps on the head from Xuan Mingtian. It was utterly outrageous! How dare he speak to his own older brother like that? Not teaching him a lesson would truly be beneath the authority of an older brother.
"Ouch~ Ouch~, teacher, I want to report this. There's bullying in school, they're hitting kids!"
After Xuanwu Ye received the loving beating from his older brother, he immediately cried out for help. This instantly attracted the attention of the entire class and the homeroom teacher, who, while looking at him, were still not finished with Xuan Mingtian's actions.
"Ahem~ Xuan, what are you doing? How can you bully your classmate, especially your own brother? It's class time now, let's deal with any problems after class."
When Xuanwu Ye heard this, he was completely stunned. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry; this teacher was utterly biased! This was bullying a child! This was school bullying! What did she mean by "deal with it after class"?
When the students heard this, they all looked at Xuanwu Ye with pity.
"Okay, teacher, please continue your lesson."
The playful fight ended with a casual remark from Xuan Mingtian, though he still gave his younger brother a look that said, "I'll deal with you later."
The Qibao Warehouse was built approximately 100 years ago. The fact that it's still in use today is a testament to the care and attention put into its construction. Not only the building materials, but even the geological conditions were incredibly sturdy. It's truly durable.
Around 100 years ago, Gear began appearing in Tourmaline Caves. This is a new discovery in the Unova region, and it is also a unique Pokémon found only in that region.
About 50 years ago, the little grey monster first appeared deep in the desert. It was all thanks to a group of explorers and trainers who wanted to explore the ruins. However, besides the little grey monster, they didn't even see air in the ruins.
It's also worth mentioning that the legend of Victini has always existed in the Unova region. There's also the legend of the Three Holy Swords: Cobalion, Terrakion, and Virizion, and of course, his little brother Keldeo.
However, Xiao Zhi won't meet this younger brother for many years; Xuan Mingtian isn't interested in these things now. Because his life of "lying down and doing nothing" and "farming" is something he must continue to the very end.
Besides these, there are the Three Spirit Beasts, also known as the Three Clouds. There are also legendary elves and mythical beasts such as the black and white dragons Reshiram and Zekrom, Kyurem and Meloetta.
Xuan Mingtian envied the powerful elves of that place. But with Brother Tuo around, he wasn't particularly interested in such things. However, if the elves were to come to his side willingly, the clever one probably wouldn't refuse. The more the merrier, who wouldn't like that?
However, it's a bit strange that the history of the Unova region seems rather limited. I wonder if it's because of its remote location that it's so little documented in books.
"Class, that concludes our explanation of the new area for today. Please raise your hand if you have any questions."
The homeroom teacher finished explaining the information in the book and then gave the remaining time to the students to ask questions.
However, no one answered for about 5 minutes.
"Xiaogang, I have an idea. Would you like to hear it?"
"I'm not listening, you're just talking nonsense. You never ask me anything good."
Upon hearing Xuan Mingtian's words, Xiao Gang immediately refused to speak to him again.
However, the latter was not angry. Instead, he calmly continued, "Xiao Gang, I really have something I want to tell you this time. Binzi, you should listen too. I'm planning to buy an island, but I don't know where to buy it."
As soon as Xuan Mingtian finished speaking, Xiao Gang and Yang Bin were stunned by his outburst of confidence. Neither of them had expected that this brilliant man had been talking about this very island.
However, Xiao Gang offered his opinion first: "It depends on you. After all, buying an island isn't something you can just do casually. You have to consider the local environment, the marine environment, the island's resources, and so on. I think you should talk to your aunt and uncle and see what they think."
Xuan Mingtian had already anticipated Xiao Gang's statement. However, he didn't think it was a big deal; with his current financial resources, he could buy a small island in just one or two years.
Bai Ying, who was sitting in front of Xuan Mingtian, was stunned when she heard about buying an island. Was this guy still a child? How could he talk about buying an island so casually, giving her the illusion that she was a poor wretch?
Bai Ying's idea was indeed correct, based on their current assets. Even her parents might not have as much money as Xuan Mingtian. However, this also proves that the stronger a person is, the more they acquire.
"Xiaogang, there's no need to inform my parents about this. Since it's all using my own money, I just need to tell them after it's all settled. I imagine they'd love to have their own little island too."
"Alright, since you put it that way, you can do whatever you want with it."
As Xuan Mingtian's friend, all he could do was silently support him.
