As soon as little Han Xin left, Su Mao followed.
"Xiaohua, are you in the breeding house?"
Xiaohua? What a weird name.
"Uncle Su, if you really don't know what to call me, you might as well call me Xiao Ming like Grandpa Wenren does." Hua Jianming complained helplessly.
Su Mao smiled awkwardly. This would indeed make it easier to say.
"Uncle Su, what are the results of today's audit?" Hua Jianming asked.
"Not bad. The Hazelnut Ball Clan now has 562 individuals, which is about 50% more than last year. The Seed Iron Ball Clan is a little worse, but the current population is 551, which is about 40% more than last year."
It can be seen that Su Mao is very satisfied with such growth.
"It will take a few days to complete the qualification audit. By then, we will start to classify the elves of the two tribes according to their qualifications. I have designated a forest outside the peninsula for the Hazelnut Balls and Seed Iron Balls with qualifications below yellow to live. From now on, the peninsula will specialize in raising Seed Iron Balls and Hazelnut Balls with qualifications above yellow."
Su Mao is very concerned about the Xianlin District's characteristic elves project.
"It's really hard work, but have you discussed this matter with Chief Nut Dumbbell and Chief Forlitos?" Hua Jianming pointed out the crux of the problem.
"Not yet. We are here to find you. Get to know them better and see if you can help Xianlin District negotiate with them."
"You should talk about this matter yourself. It's not easy for me to interfere in this matter. I will be embarrassed if they don't agree. If they put forward conditions, I don't know where the bottom line of the alliance is." Hua Jianming refused.
"You know, we don't have a way to communicate with them for now."
The truth is finally revealed (manually crossed out).
"Honglian Kaiqi, please do Uncle Su a favor and be his translator for a day." Hua Jianming called Honglian Kaiqi, then looked at Su Mao and said, "Uncle Su, is one day enough?"
"Red Lotus Armor Knight, thank you for your help." Su Mao had long guessed that the breeding house had the ability to communicate directly with the elves, and sure enough, it really did.
"By the way, Xiao Ming, on the way here, I saw your Crimson Lotus Knight riding Arcanine and Blue Flame Blade Demon riding Houndrunner. What kind of strange combination is this? What are they doing?" Su Mao expressed his interest.
"They, Uncle Su asked me to strengthen the security of Jiangxin Peninsula. They are carrying out the security mission of Jiangxin Peninsula."
Hearing this, Su Mao seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes flashed inexplicably.
"What do you think about me assigning some elves to serve as police dogs for the police officers in Xianlin District?"
Real-life version of Miss Junsha?
Su Mao's words immediately reminded Hua Jianming of Miss Junsha in the animation.
Speaking of which, when he exchanged Growlithe with Qu Bu Tong, he actually had this consideration in mind. He cooperated with the alliance in the same way as the Chansey project to provide Growlithe for police officers.
Thinking about this, Hua Jianming glanced at Su Mao who was thinking. It might be a bit risky for him to represent the alliance with his position.
"You know what? The more I think about it, the more I think it's feasible. How about we try it out in Xianlin District first?"
In fact, Su Mao's idea was not impulsive.
He had had similar ideas since the establishment of the Elf Special Zone, but he had temporarily shelved this idea due to various reasons.
In recent years, elves have been involved in the vast majority of large-scale criminal cases recorded by various alliances. There are endless examples of criminal gangs using elves to commit crimes, use elves to resist, and use elves to escape.
Many criminals flock to such examples, and many alliances begin to actively look for suitable elves to join the police force.
Su Mao searched for a long time on his phone, and finally found a photo and handed it to Hua Jianming, saying, "Look, there is such an example in the United Alliance. They let Thundermon and Thundermon join the police department."
In the photo, a muscular white man in police uniform is aiming his gun, and a thunder beast follows him. Although it is a posed photo, it looks quite majestic.
Hua Jianming calculated the number of Growlithe dogs in the ecological park.
"You can give it a try. Uncle Su, what do you think of Growlithe and Windy?"
"In fact, the Alliance discussed the possibility of Growlithe and Windy becoming Pokémon for the police a few years ago. Loyalty, dignity, fast speed, good sense of smell, the ability to be ridden, and other advantages all prove that Growlithe and Windy are the most suitable Pokémon for the police."
"But in the end, the Alliance had to temporarily give up this possibility because of their small numbers. Even in the wild, the number of Growlithes and Arcanines is very small. Not only the Chinese Alliance, but also other alliances have not found a large Growlithe habitat."
"I see."
Hua Jianming seemed to be thinking about something, but after thinking about it, he felt something was wrong.
"In that case, why doesn't the Alliance collect all the Growlithes and Arcanines for artificial breeding?"
"In fact, the Alliance has done this before. But firstly, most of the Growlithes are in the hands of individual trainers and Pokémon families, so it's not easy to collect them. Secondly, the reproduction rate of Growlithes is very slow, and it's difficult to support the large police force of our Alliance."
"Is the reproduction speed slow?" Hua Jianming was a little self-doubting after hearing Su Mao's words. Could it be that he raised a group of fake Grunts?
"Yes, very slowly. I heard that a couple of Katydids can only produce one or two Katydid puppies a year."
Hua Jianming wondered if he had discovered something extraordinary.
I don’t know if someone played a trick on this, but given Su Mao’s current position, he probably won’t be able to do anything about this matter. I can only ask Wenren Xuesong when I have time later.
Besides, what if the reason why our Growlithe and Arcanine are so fertile is because of the special nature of our ecological park or because of the Burning Ancient Tree and Burning Fruit?
"Let me finalize this with you first. If we cooperate, the first batch of Caterpillars should have five to ten in number. If Xianlin Breeding House has them, I will go back to discuss it and approve this project. If they don't have them or they can't provide them in the future, then there's no need to discuss this matter."
"Don't worry, Uncle Su, there won't be any problem with the quantity."
"That's fine. I'll be leaving first."
After getting a satisfactory answer, Su Mao hurriedly left with the breeding ball containing the Red Lotus Armor Cavalry. He needed to speed up the negotiation progress with the two tribes...
Chapter 179 New Spokesperson, Ancient Steel Tree and Competition
On the second floor of Mo Xuan's house,
"Mo Xuan, how about making energy cubes specifically for the breeding house in the future?"
Hua Jianming looked at Cao Moxuan constantly adding new fruits to adjust the taste and fineness of the energy blocks, and suddenly said something.
To be honest, this guy who usually looks a little unreliable does have an amazing talent for making energy cubes.
Now the formula of this energy cube named "Deep Blue" by the developer (Cao Moxuan) has been initially developed. However, according to Cao Moxuan, "Deep Blue" is not perfect yet, and there is still room for improvement in taste, texture and fineness.
What Cao Moxuan is doing now is to continuously improve the formula to make "Deep Blue" more perfect.
Cao Moxuan was slightly stunned. After thinking for a while, he showed his sunny and charming smile, "Then I will add two more chicken legs to each meal."
"Okay, I'll give you two more chicken legs for each meal."
Although the conversation was a bit inappropriate, it meant that Cao Moxuan had accepted Hua Jianming's invitation.
"By the way, boss." Cao Moxuan stopped what he was doing, looked at Hua Jianming curiously and said, "I asked Lao Bai, and he said that he got his pony at the breeding house."
The little pony is Keldeo. Under the coercion of everyone and Keldeo's resentment, Chi Baixia finally changed the way he addressed Keldeo.
Hua Jianming did not deny it.
"Hey, look, I've sold myself to the breeding house, so can I get the same treatment as Old White?"
Hua Jianming was very confused as to how a person could switch back and forth between the two images of a sunny and cheerful person and a vulgar and obscene person, and express them so vividly.
"She really is selling herself." Hua Jianming emphasized, "She is selling herself in the way that 'she is a member of the breeding house when alive and a ghost of the breeding house when dead'."
"As for you..."
Cao Moxuan was immediately displeased by Hua Jianming's looking him up and down.
"Don't worry, as long as you can provide food and accommodation, I can also do 'live as a person in the breeding house, die as a ghost in the breeding house'!" After saying that, Cao Moxuan added: "Old White's elves have fruits as rations, I also want similar fruits."
"Can you eat?"
"Of course..." Cao Moxuan reacted in time and immediately changed his words: "Of course not, I'm asking for it for my elf."
It seems like it's a done deal, so Hua Jianming is not in a hurry.
"I'll think about it and give you an answer tonight."
Hua Jianming said as he ran back to the breeding house. (It was mainly because the ancient sword leopard ran fast.)
After returning to the breeding house, Hua Jianming opened the system warehouse and found two more things inside, one was an elf egg and the other was an ancient steel tree.
“Is it distributed so soon?”
Hua Jianming couldn't wait to place the ancient steel tree in the ecological park. He rode on the ancient sword leopard again and headed straight for the mineral rock area.
[Ancient Iron Tree, an ancient tree that produces Iron Will, the origin of the Steel Elves, attracting all the Elves who yearn for Iron Will, breeding incredible things, and a branch somewhere is an important material for repairing swords and shields.]
"Sword and shield? Sword King Sorahiki and Shield King Kuramarant?"
Hua Jianming had automatically ignored the words "attract all elves who yearn for iron will". The news about Sword and Shield was what he was most concerned about.
It is said that every ancient tree has a little elf connected to it.
The Pokémon associated with the Burning Ancient is Ho-Oh, the Pokémon associated with the Dark Ancient is Giratina, the Pokémon associated with the Dripping Ancient is Lugia, the Pokémon associated with the Ice Ancient is Kyurem, the Pokémon associated with the Fairy Ancient is Xerneas, and the Pokémon associated with the Iron Ancient are Sora and Kuramalanth.
Hua Jianming was very much looking forward to it, as he didn’t know whether he would be able to see these legendary elves in the future.
The Iron Ancient Tree is an ancient tree that emits a silver-white halo all over its body. Its branches, as hard as steel, are a slightly darker silver in color, and the leaves of the ancient tree are a lighter silver-white.
Hua Jianming planted it on the Gobi Desert in the mineral rock area. From a distance, it looked like an artificial mithril tree.
"Little Leopard, go and try it."
Upon hearing this, the ancient sword leopard jumped up, bit the tree trunk, inserted the broken sword in the corner of its mouth into the thick branch of the ancient steel tree, and then let go and pulled it out.
Hua Jianming noticed that the broken sword of the ancient sword leopard was stained with some silver-white liquid, which was being absorbed by the broken sword.
It seems that although this ancient steel tree has a steel appearance, it is indeed a real tree full of vitality.
However, Hua Jianming was quite curious that the silvery-white sap could actually be absorbed by the broken sword of the ancient sword leopard.
Perhaps this is why the introduction says that "a certain branch is an important material for repairing the sword and shield."
That night, Cao Moxuan came out of Moxuan's room and excitedly found Hua Jianming.
"Do you want this fairy egg?"
Before he could say anything, Hua Jianming took out the elf egg from the system warehouse.
This is an elf egg with a silver base and orange-red patterns wrapped around it.
Silver represents the steel type, and orange represents the fighting type. Combined with Chi Baixia's Keldeo, one can imagine what the Pokémon in this Pokémon egg will be like.
Chi Baixia, who had just returned from training at Xianlin Lake, also noticed the actions here and walked over curiously.
When he saw the elf egg, he immediately understood something. Chi Baixia was very welcome to Cao Moxuan's joining.
"Hehe, I want it! I definitely want it! I absolutely want it!"
As soon as Cao Moxuan saw the silver background, he knew that the elf in the elf egg was definitely a steel-attribute elf. The elf egg of the Big Mouth that he picked up during the spring outing was also this color.
