Pokémon: The Journey Begins with a Cowherd

Chapter 275 Joey Jungsa, who's siding with outsiders!

Qingyuan was taken aback when he heard Qiao Yiying's words.

Then he spoke to Qiao Yiying in a very matter-of-fact tone.

"I'm doing this to thank you for your help before!"

"Without your help, I might not have reached my current strength!"

"These things are a way for me to express my gratitude to you!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Qiao Yiying fell into deep thought.

Looking at the silent mobile communication device, Qingyuan quickly reviewed what he had just said.

What gratitude and repaying kindness, what expression of thanks to the Joey family for their help? Those are all empty words, all nonsense.

If he had the ability, he could devour the entire fossil cave all by himself.

He would definitely eat his fill first, until his mouth was greasy and full, before he could think about anything else.

At most, considering the help Joey and the Officer Jenny had given him before, he would share a small portion of the cave's profits with them.

How could things be like this, where I only take a small portion of the profits from the fossil cave, while giving the rest of the pie to Joey and the Officer Jenny's family?

Ultimately, it comes down to his lack of ability.

So all I could do at this point was say something polite, hoping that Joey and the Officer Jenny would take into account my gratitude.

Give yourself some rare resources.

"I will report this to the family!"

"The family members will probably go in the evening, so you can explore the fossil cave more!"

After a moment of silence, Qiao Yiying spoke to Qingyuan again.

After saying that, Qiao Yiying hung up the call without waiting for Qingyuan's reaction.

Qingyuan was stunned when he heard this. Looking at the disconnected call, he was at a loss for words.

Is this a plan to delay the reporting time so that they can plunder more from the fossil cave?

But he's already looted everything!

Left with no other choice, Qingyuan had to call Qiao Yiran again.

And then I got the same reply again.

Qiao Yiran would also have her family members go there at night, so Qingyuan could explore the cave more.

"What's going on here? I want to leave as soon as possible!"

"How come this is taking so long, and it's getting later and later!"

After making a couple of exasperated comments, Qingyuan immediately called Jun Shaqi.

According to Qiao Yiran, Jun Shaqi successfully earned merit because of the information Qingyuan had previously reported to her.

He has now been transferred to Interpol as a captain.

Moreover, its strength has increased by more than a little bit; not only has Growlithe evolved.

The Officer Jenny family then formed a contract with a Riolu possessing the Righteous Heart trait.

Because Officer Jenny's sense of justice is a perfect match for Riolu's sense of justice, the intimacy between Officer Jenny and Riolu increases rapidly.

Riolu has now successfully evolved into Lucario, becoming a powerful asset in Officer Jenny's arsenal.

Qingyuan was already drooling with envy upon hearing the news.

That's Lucario, a creature that combines good looks and power.

And the super-evolved dog is really cool!

This may explain why Jenny Tsai is busier with her work at Interpol.

Qingyuan tried to contact her, but it took her much longer than Qiao Yiran and the others to get through.

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Jun Shaqi excitedly expressed her excitement to him.

Then it's the same meaning, but different wording.

Jun Shaqi adopted a more tactful approach, suggesting that Qingyuan go into the cave and reap some benefits first.

After hanging up Jun Shaqi's call, Qingyuan looked helplessly into the depths of the cave.

Tell me what kind of nonsense this is. We've given you all the benefits, and you're not even eager to take them.

"Sigh, there's no other way. Things have come to this, so I can only reluctantly make one more round of plundering!"

"Little fossil babies, here I come, hahaha!"

After letting out a cunning laugh, Qingyuan called the Mantis back and then quickly headed deeper into the cave.

……

Meanwhile, just as Qingyuan finished searching the cave for the second time, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.

At this moment, Qiao Yilingzi, the current head of the Qiao Yi family and a high-ranking member of the alliance, also received a report from Qiao Yiran and Qiao Yiying.

"An ancient underground cave has been discovered in Da Sha Valley, containing several kinds of surviving fossil spirits?"

Is this information accurate?

After carefully reviewing the report, Qiao Yilingzi looked up and asked the secretary who had brought it over.

"The information is accurate; both of Joey's saw the living fossil elves with their own eyes!"

Upon hearing Qiao Yilingzi's words, the secretary stood up and addressed her respectfully.

"And who is this Qingyuan?"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Yilingzi nodded.

He then glanced at it again and asked about the name Qingyuan, which was mentioned no less than forty or fifty times in the report.

The person who wrote this report had too many hidden agendas; Qingyuan's name was mentioned multiple times.

It's obvious at a glance that this is an attempt to curry favor with Qingyuan.

"Qingyuan is an orphan trainer invested in by Qiao Yiying!"

"He rescued the Viridian City Pokémon Center from an attack, and you personally approved his reward!"

"He was also the first to pass on the information to Officer Jenny during the last major riot in Lampurch!"

"After the riot ended, Qingyuan was attacked and fell into a coma, but ultimately, he turned out to be a blessing in disguise and awakened his superpowers!"

"His reward was decided upon through discussions between us and the Officer Jenny family!"

"Because his awakened superpowers are quite strong, he is currently ranked ninth in the first tier of trainers invested in by his family!"

"However, the family has not formally signed an investment contract with him!"

Upon hearing Qiao Yilingzi's words, the secretary spoke while taking out all the relevant information about Qingyuan.

These documents even contain detailed records of Qingyuan's previous time at the welfare home.

"A genius from humble beginnings!"

"This kid has a good character; he's grateful and repays kindness. We can move him into the top three!"

"Besides, we've taken such a big advantage from him this time, so we should be generous in return. We can't let outsiders say that the Joey family is stingy!"

"Those few items in the treasury are just sitting there anyway, send him those two that are suitable!"

"Also, tell Xiaoying and Xiaoran to speed things up. If marrying into the family isn't an option, they can marry out of the family!"

"Don't let someone else steal the fruits of your labor!"

Upon hearing the secretary's words, Qiao Yilingzi glanced through Qingyuan's file and spoke to the secretary.

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, the secretary bowed slightly to Qiao Yilingzi.

"By the way, is that piece of land in Big Fool Valley owned?"

Just as Qiao Yilingzi closed Qingyuan's file, she suddenly seemed to remember something and asked her secretary.

Not yet!

Upon hearing this, the secretary bowed to Qiao Yilingzi.

"Let's negotiate with Officer Jenny first to secure the deal, and then the profits can be redistributed!"

"Let's get the land first, otherwise we'll suffer a huge loss if someone else takes it!"

"Okay, that's enough for now!"

After saying that, Qiao Yiling waved to her secretary, signaling her to leave first.

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, the secretary bowed to Qiao Yilingzi and left the office.

After the secretary left, Qiao Yilingzi sat in her chair and thought for a long time.

In the end, they made a call to the head of the Officer Jenny family.

The old woman from Officer Jenny's family is a bit stubborn. If we don't cooperate with her and someone else gets the benefits, we'll be at a huge loss!
