Chapter 7 One month later, on the eve of departure!
Time flies like an arrow; a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
On the lawn where Qingyuan saw Scorpion, Scorpion was standing a few dozen meters away from the tree where Qingyuan was resting in the shade, with sandbags tied to his two pincers, constantly exercising.
"Clatter! Clapper! Clapper!"
The scorpion swung its pincers while shouting, the sounds unusually rhythmic.
Qingyuan sat in the shade under the tree, flipping through the Pokédex in a somewhat irritable manner.
After a long while, Qingyuan stopped flipping through the Pokémon encyclopedia, looked up at the sky, and let out a long sigh.
The alliance's monopoly on knowledge is truly remarkable.
Unless you purchase it from the exchange interface, you won't see any systematic cultivation methods anywhere else.
The remaining unsystematic cultivation methods are merely folk remedies and tricks.
Qingyuan either already knew these tricks, or they were useless against Scorpios.
Anyway, Qingyuan is now extremely worried about Scorpion's training, and for his sake, he can only devise a half-baked training method for Scorpion.
He had Scorpion train using this method first, and at the same time, he used the Pokédex to observe Scorpion's body and refine the training method.
If Scorpius's body shows even the slightest imbalance, he will immediately stop Scorpius from training and make a trip to the Viridian City Pokémon Center to treat Scorpius's hidden injuries.
It's free anyway, might as well use it.
After the treatment is completed, Qingyuan will modify the training method according to the injured parts of Scorpion's body.
After several revisions, his half-baked training method became quite decent.
At least Scorpio's level and physical fitness steadily improved during this process.
After putting away the Pokédex, Qingyuan looked at Scorpion, who was panting heavily from exercising under the scorching sun. He reached into his spatial backpack and took out ice water and an energy cube before stopping Scorpion's training.
"Scorpio, it's time. Come over and rest for a bit, have something to replenish your energy!"
"Clatter!"
Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Scorpion immediately threw away its pincers and the weight on its back and flew towards Qingyuan.
"boom!"
Scorpion accelerated through the air and pounced on the open ground in front of Qingyuan. Then it waited motionless for Qingyuan to serve it.
Qingyuan was not unhappy about this. After feeding the Scorpion energy cubes and giving him ice water, he did so.
Qingyuan then took out a steel brush and began to massage Scorpio with it.
This is a massage technique that Miss Joy specially taught Qingyuan after seeing him running to the Elf Center every few days.
Brushing a scorpion's joints and exoskeleton with a steel brush can effectively relax the muscles inside the exoskeleton, reducing the risk of the scorpion suffering hidden injuries.
Miss Joy's intention was that teaching him this skill would allow Qingyuan to visit the Pokémon Center less often, thus reducing her workload.
But who knew that after Qingyuan acquired this technique and massaged Scorpio, Scorpio's recovery speed significantly accelerated.
This led to an increase in Scorpio's training volume, and for some unknown reason, Scorpio became increasingly indifferent to the possibility of injury.
Before, it was a little better; at least it could land properly. Now, Scorpio dares to freefall from several meters in the air.
Just like today, it fell straight to the ground.
This led to Qingyuan visiting the Pokémon Center even more frequently.
Originally, I would only go every three to five days, but now I go to Qingyuan regularly, every two days.
As Scorpio became increasingly unruly, Qingyuan grew more and more worried about Scorpio's health and began to consider whether he should visit him every day.
"Clatter!"
Just as Qingyuan was lost in thought, Scorpio complained that the force of the swish had weakened and called out to him.
Hearing Scorpion's cry, Qingyuan quickly came to his senses.
Sorry, Scorpio!
"Clatter! Clack!"
Scorpio generously waved its pincers at Qingyuan.
……
"Moo!"
With the last Kentauro herded back into the barn, Qingyuan finished his work for the day.
"Brother Qingyuan, Mr. Tian Shi is looking for you. He wants you to go to his residence!"
Qingyuan had just locked up the cowshed and was about to go back to his lodgings to take a shower and then eat when he heard Tuomu standing in front of the sheep pen calling out.
"Okay, then I'll trouble you to save me a meal!"
"Alright, Qingyuan!"
"Thank you!"
After thanking Tuo Mu, Qing Yuan headed straight for Mr. Tian Shi's residence.
The summer evening was no longer as hot as during the day. Qingyuan felt the cool breeze of the summer evening and a happy smile appeared on his face.
He already knew why Mr. Tian Shi had summoned him.
A month ago, on the night Qingyuan received the Pokédex, he took the opportunity of returning the Tauros Poké Ball to submit his resignation to Mr. Tian Shi.
However, with the arrival of summer, it is the perfect time for grazing, and there is an increase in things to do on the farm.
In addition, since it would be difficult to find a successor for Qingyuan if he left, Mr. Tianshi asked Qingyuan to stay at the ranch for a while longer.
Because Mr. and Mrs. Tian Shi take good care of themselves every day, and Scorpios who have not yet passed their infancy do need time to develop.
So Qingyuan agreed to stay at the ranch for another three months, but after three months, regardless of whether a replacement cowherd was found, Qingyuan would definitely leave.
To Qingyuan's surprise, only a month had passed.
Mr. Tian Shi has already found a successor, so he can leave with peace of mind.
After all, Mr. and Mrs. Tianshi treated him very well, and Mrs. Linghua also taught him a lot about cultivation.
He would feel guilty if he just left without a second thought.
As Qingyuan walked and pondered, he soon arrived at Mr. Tianshi's door.
Qingyuan knocked on the door, and Linghua opened it for him again today.
Linghua warmly welcomed Qingyuan inside, while Mr. Tianshi had already prepared the contract and was sitting at the coffee table.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the conversation got down to business. Qingyuan signed the resignation contract that Tianshi had presented and received his wages for the past few months.
This matter can be considered closed.
Qingyuan drank tea with Tianshi for a while longer before taking his leave.
Before leaving, Tian Shi gave Qing Yuan 10,000 Alliance Coins, and Madam Linghua also gave Qing Yuan her cultivation notes from over the years.
The two were surprisingly in agreement, both hoping that Qingyuan could continue on the path of becoming a trainer.
Hopefully, he can make a name for himself.
Qingyuan felt a warmth in her heart, and with red eyes, she bid farewell to the two.
I didn't recover until I got back to my place.
Qingyuan had just put his things down when there was another knock on the door.
Qingyuan went over to open the door and saw Tuomu standing in front of his door, holding a lunchbox and scratching his head.
"Brother Qingyuan, here's your lunchbox!"
"Thank you! Would you like to come in and have a seat?"
Qingyuan took the lunchbox and looked at Tuomu, who was scratching his head, and asked.
"No need, Brother Qingyuan. I have to herd sheep tomorrow, so I need to go to bed early tonight."
"Brother Qingyuan, I wish you a safe journey. In a few years, when I've saved enough money, I also want to travel and become a trainer."
Looking at Qingyuan, who was about to embark on his journey, Tuomu said with a hint of envy in his eyes.
Upon hearing Tuo Mu's words, Qing Yuan smiled and said.
"Alright, then I'll wait for you up ahead. We'll have a trainer battle then!"
"But before you travel, don't forget to pay your taxes and get the Pokémon Pokédex. Its additional benefits are very useful to us!"
Like Qingyuan, Tuomu came from the Tokiwa City Welfare Home, and during this time, he often saved meals for him.
Qingyuan was happy to help and give Tuomu some pointers, because there's a big difference between a trainer with a Pokédex and one without.
