Pokémon Farm

Chapter 48 Probing and Forced War

"Okay, I understand. From now on, please don't call me Young Master anymore. Just call me Xiao Tian. I prefer to be easygoing."

That's just Xuan Mingtian's personality; as long as you work hard, he will never treat you unfairly.

The six men exchanged bewildered glances upon hearing this, for they had never seen a young master from any family act so casually.

At this moment, Xiao Shan said, "Young Master, this is not in accordance with the rules."

Before Xiao Shan could finish speaking, Xuan Mingtian raised his hand to interrupt him, saying, "From now on, I'll call you Uncle Xiao. Now I'm your boss, and what I say is the rule. Just be casual about how you address me from now on, don't make it so serious."

The six of them exchanged glances and realized that this was a very domineering and arbitrary person. Otherwise, how could a child say something like "my rules are the rules"? Then they said in unison, "Okay, Xiao Tian."

“Yes, that’s right. From now on, Uncle Xiao’s annual salary will be 1 million, and the five of you will each receive 500,000. In addition, there will be year-end bonuses, social security benefits, and annual leave. This card has 10 million, which is for your salaries and daily expenses at the villa. If it’s not enough, just ask me for more. We’ll pay you this year’s salary today. Uncle Xiao will take care of this matter later.” Xuan Mingtian generously set their salaries.

Xuan Mingtian's generosity stunned the six people, as their salaries more than doubled, and what surprised them most were the various benefits.

Although their work is easier than that of the service industry, their vacation time is far less. This is especially true for Xiao Shan, who is a housekeeper and has to stay at his employer's house for many years. Annual leave is something he longs for.

Xiao Shan, who was leading the group of six, spoke first: "Thank you, Xiao Tian."

This one sentence is worth a thousand words, because their eyes were already starting to moisten, perhaps because their wish to be able to go home more often had come true.

"Alright, alright, from now on you're all mine. I'll never mistreat him." Xuan Mingtian added in his mind after saying that, "But if you betray me or hurt my family and friends, I'll let you experience the taste of the deepest hell."

"Alright, let me make the arrangements. Uncle Xiao, go and buy four cars now. How can you travel without a vehicle? You can choose the style yourself. Also, buy some ingredients. We're having a party tonight. You five stay here for now. I have some questions to ask you."

After Xuan Mingtian told him what he needed, Uncle Xiao nodded in response and left the villa.

“Where in the Sinnoh region are you from? Xiaolan and I are from Sinnoh too,” Xuanmingtian said.

Upon hearing this, all five people's eyes widened in surprise, and a feeling of meeting an old friend in a foreign land suddenly arose within them.

The eldest of the five spoke first, saying, "We are all from the seasonal orphanage in Tajisi town."

Xuan Mingtian turned to look at Xiao Lan with a bewildered expression.

"Idiot, where exactly did you go in Sinnoh? It was Tajishi Town near Eden City," Cynthia said speechlessly.

Xuan Mingtian said, "Oh, I see. You guys can take care of things at home now. You can get back to work."

The five people bowed slightly and then turned to get back to their work.

After the five maids left, Xiaolan said, "Xiaotian, I heard from others that the seasonal orphanage in their hometown is a bit poor. Would you like to help them out?"

Jun Shaen, standing next to him, nodded in agreement, saying, "Xiao Tian, ​​I checked the police system while you were talking, and their orphanage is indeed quite poor."

"Are you two out of your minds? You can figure this out, do you think I can't? And you want me to sponsor them? I think you're just bored and have nothing better to do," Xuan Mingtian said speechlessly.

Jun Sha'en and Zhu Lan stared at Xuan Mingtian in disbelief. The others who happened to be there also overheard the conversation between the three. No one could have imagined that Xuan Mingtian would say such a thing. It was as sensational as a great figure suddenly being revealed to have beaten up a disabled person.

At the same time, Professor Oak walked over quickly, put his hands on his hips, and said to Xuan Mingtian, "Xiao Tian, ​​even though you are still young, you can't talk like that if you don't want to."

“What’s wrong with what I said? Aren’t they just talking nonsense? Hmm, she’s the sheriff, who knows when she’ll be free? Xiaolan is still young, what can she do? And Professor Oak, you’re always researching Pokémon or going to exchanges, do you really have time for that?” Xuan Mingtian directly rebuked them.

"Xiao Tian, ​​we are so disappointed in you. I know you've been smart since you were little, but it's really wrong of you to say that. Besides, I donate a sum of money to various orphanages every year. I will definitely tell your parents about what you said today." Jie Zilan looked at Xuan Mingtian with disappointment, because this time she was not the only one who felt disappointed, but everyone else felt the same way.

However, they were unaware of Xuan Mingtian's thoughts, as there were some differences between his previous life's ideas and those of this world.

"Am I wrong? You all have to go to work or school, some of you are researching Pokémon, and Aunt Hanako has to take care of her children. Tell me, how much energy do you have to manage all these things?" Xuan Mingtian continued to retort.

Xuan Mingtian had already figured out how to resolve the situation, and they were stunned by his words.

"Alright, I'm not going to play games with you anymore. Look at you, you're all not as smart as a kid like me. Do you know why I raised their salaries, and by more than double?" Xuan Mingtian said.

Everyone shook their heads in unison, after all, they couldn't figure out why they should get a raise, as it was already much higher than their current wages.

Xuan Mingtian continued, "Let me tell you, it's my generosity to raise their wages, but it's a different story for those five maids."

At this point, Officer Sha'en, Mustard, and Little Orchid glared angrily, looking like they wanted to devour someone.

“What’s with those expressions on your faces? My purpose is to test whether they will send their wages back home. If they do, then we can keep them, and their orphanage will also be financially better off. If they completely neglect the orphanage, would you dare to hire them?” Xuan Mingtian said.

In fact, Xuan Mingtian's method was very simple: first, he would test the people from the orphanage—a test of their character. If these five women, after receiving more than double their wages, were unwilling to contribute to the place that raised them, then who would dare to employ them? As for those who abused orphans, he would simply send them away with a destructive ray.

After Xuan Mingtian revealed the method, everyone suddenly realized the truth and felt ashamed, because they had all misunderstood the matter, even going so far as to think about the Padiya region.

"Xiao Tian, ​​I'm sorry, we were so overwhelmed by the beautiful scenery of the villa that we got a little dizzy. We all understand what you mean, which is to have the people who came from the orphanage give back to the orphanage. At the same time, what you can do is to significantly increase their wages. Hmm, this is a very good method."

Jie Zilan was the first to speak, because she couldn't stay silent; after all, she was now practically Xiao Tian's elder.

Upon hearing Jie Zilan's words, everyone quickly agreed, as they wanted to use this method to ease their awkwardness.

"Hmph, good that you know. We're having a party by the lake in the backyard tonight, so get ready. I'm really angry right now, the kind that won't be appeased, and I don't want to do any work, I want to lie down." Xuan Mingtian started throwing a childish tantrum after telling them about tonight's plans.

Upon hearing that there would be a party that night, everyone hurriedly left, because if they didn't leave, the awkwardness would be so great that they could carve a living room and a bedroom out of a steel plate with their toes.

Jun Sha'en and Xiao Lan, however, could not leave, because when everyone was leaving, Xuan Mingtian grabbed their clothes, so they could not escape the awkward situation.

"Ah, why do my shoulders and hands suddenly feel so tired?" Xuan Mingtian said to the two of them while rubbing his shoulders.

But Xiaolan found a solution: "What? Do you believe I'll tell Auntie you bullied us? I'm going to have a Pokémon battle with you now."

Having found a solution, the two women dragged Xuan Mingtian to the battle arena in the backyard. Because this was the world of elves, many large villas and manors would have one or more battle arenas.

After the three arrived at the battlefield, Xuan Mingtian said calmly, "Xiao Lan, I advise you to give up. You have absolutely no chance of winning against me."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Lan was not angry at all. Instead, she raised her head and said, "Xiao Tian, ​​don't be so complacent. I am not the same as before."

Indeed, for nearly half a month, Cynthia's Gible had been studying tirelessly from Professor Oak's Dragonite and Charizard, which resulted in a transformation in Gible's strength.

Xuan Mingtian, sensing Zhu Lan's unwavering attitude, had no way to refute her. After all, she would be the future Sinnoh champion and wouldn't give up because of this failure.

After thinking for a moment, Xuan Mingtian said, "Okay, I'll agree to your request this time, and I'll let you choose the Pokémon to battle. But don't cry if you lose."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Lan angrily shouted, "I was careless last time. This time I will go all out. Send out Scyther to fight this time."

The child had indeed not experienced the harsh realities of society. Although his relatives and friends knew about Xuan Mingtian's extraordinary abilities in breaking through the heavens, they did not know its true strength. So, they asked the little cutie to use telepathy to summon the heavens.

Ten seconds later, when Zhu Lan saw Po Tian suddenly arrive, she couldn't help but feel a pang of regret. Po Tian's fierce and strange appearance, along with his twin swords that gleamed with a chilling light, clearly indicated that he was an opponent she couldn't defeat at the moment. However, with her strong personality, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and face him head-on.
