As she spoke, Xia Rushuang took out the email from the folder and handed it over.
"Is it He Yu and Mu Xue's wedding?"
Hua Jianming guessed the content of the email when he saw the name on it, and when he opened it, it turned out to be an invitation from two people.
The date on the invitation is October 3rd, so there are still a few days to prepare.
"First, cooperate with the alliance to finalize the rank benefits. Put this first. The rest can be done slowly. There is still plenty of time."
After Xia Rushuang left, Hua Jianming went to the ecological park with the invitation.
In addition to inviting himself, Zhu Heyu also invited Chi Baixia, Cao Moxuan and Han Xin. These were all friends of Zhu Heyu and Su Muxue when they were still in the breeding house.
"Really?! He Yu and Mu Xue are getting married!" After hearing the news, Chi Baixia changed his gradually cold image and became happy.
......
"Hello, my name is Zhu Heyu, and this is Su Muxue."
"My name is Chi Baixia, and I'm from Zhoushan. This is my friend, Shuiyueyu."
"Zhoushan people, what about this jumping fish?"
......
As Chi Baixia gradually calmed down, scenes from the past gradually came back to his mind.
"Come to think of it, I haven't seen them for four years."
Zhu Heyu and Su Muxue are the same age as Chi Baixia. They left in their sophomore year and went to Russia as exchange students from Jinling Elf Academy, so they studied for an extra year. In total, the total time they spent studying was four years and three months.
"I will prepare a nice wedding gift for them."
Chapter 354: Ideas about the Carrier of the Atlas
Cao Moxuan, who always liked to be in the spotlight, was extremely excited when he heard that Zhu Heyu and Su Muxue had sent him an invitation.
Although his relationship was not as good as Chi Baixia and Zhu Heyu's, they were still somewhat close. For such an important event in the life of an old friend, Cao Moxuan naturally wanted to give him a big face.
So, Cao Moxuan also started to worry about the gifts.
As for Han Xin,
After receiving the news, he didn't have too many worries except for surprise and blessings. He had already thought of what to give as a wedding gift for the two.
"How's the progress of the card encyclopedia?"
Han Xin was already familiar with the progress of the card atlas, so he was able to answer Hua Jianming's questions without looking through his notes.
“首先是图鉴本身，目前除了编号145的闪电鸟、编号146的火焰鸟、编号150的超梦和编号151的梦幻的信息外，华夏地区全图鉴共151只小精灵已经全部收录完成。”
"Sister Rushuang has also bought a company that specializes in card production and is working day and night to produce the cards. Currently, one million copies of the card illustrations have been completed and will be released together with the opening of the battle tower on October 8th. The current price is one thousand Alliance coins per copy."
"As for those illustrations without detailed information, we will display them in the form of '???' on the card illustrations."
"This is all the progress of the card encyclopedia so far."
Han Xin saw Hua Jianming was in a daze and did not interrupt him, but waited quietly by the side.
Hua Jianming has been mumbling something in a low voice. If you listen carefully, you can hear that he is calculating one million copies of the card atlas. If each copy is sold for one thousand Alliance coins, he can get a turnover of one billion Alliance coins.
After deducting the cost of less than 10 million from these sales, the profit is astonishing.
In fact, the biggest cost was the 8 million Alliance coins Xia Rushuang paid when she acquired the card company, which was solved in one go. The rest, whether it was raw materials, labor, maintenance, transportation, etc., did not cost much at all.
Therefore, apart from this first batch of card illustrations, the profits from the subsequent card illustrations will be greater.
How many trainers are there in the Huaxia Alliance?
According to incomplete statistics, there are currently approximately 20 million trainers registered in the Chinese Alliance. After the results of a new round of trainer census come out in October, this number will increase dramatically.
Among these trainers, it can be said that more than 98% of them are only superficially familiar with various Pokémon.
As for whether the remaining less than 2% of trainers can be familiar with all the information of all Pokémons, it remains to be seen.
The emergence of the card illustrations makes up for this well.
There is still some time before the official release of the card encyclopedia. If the factory works harder, the profit of the card encyclopedia should be able to exceed 1.1 billion Alliance coins. By then, Xia Chan's Genesect's armor and attribute cartridge will be settled.
"You've done a great job. Thank you for your hard work over the past two years."
The construction of the elf information database in the Chinese region was a huge project. Although Xiao Dudan and the little carrot heads joined in to help, it was just a drop in the bucket. Han Xin could be said to have built the elf information database on his own.
Han Xin shook his head and said, "This is just a small dream of mine. I want to thank my elder brother for giving me this opportunity to fulfill this dream."
"Okay, there's no need to talk about this between the two of us."
Seeing Hua Jianming say this, Han Xin nodded in agreement.
"Brother, I have two things I need to report to you."
At Hua Jianming's signal, Han Xin continued, "One thing is about the elf information database. As a elf information database that is more comprehensive and has more information than the card illustrations, I think we can import it into the machine and form an illustration machine similar to a scanner."
"I think trainers would prefer this Pokémon Encyclopedia in a machine to Pokémon Encyclopedia in a machine. As for the target audience of Pokémon Encyclopedia in a card, I think it should be children who aspire to become trainers or trainers who can't afford Pokémon Encyclopedia machines."
Han Xin's words made Hua Jianming's eyes light up. This was indeed a good suggestion.
In this way, the elf encyclopedia completely replicates the encyclopedia format in the previous animation, and its dexterity and convenience far exceed the card encyclopedia.
"That's a good suggestion, but for now we're still selling mainly card illustrations. As for the illustration machine you mentioned, when Sister Shuang is free, you can go and discuss the possibility with her."
"But the illustrated machine still needs someone who is more knowledgeable about machines to help make it. After all, it is not easy to copy the scanning function of a scanner to an illustrated machine."
In response to Hua Jianming's reminder, Han Xin said that this was not a particularly big problem.
"You mean the little rascals are very interested in this and have started to learn on their own and have made good progress?"
Han Xin nodded and replied, "To be precise, Pina and Didi are interested in electronic information engineering, while Qiu Ming and Pi Pi like mechanical modification."
"What about Mei Ke?" Hua Jianming patted his head: "I remember now, she likes making energy cubes."
Today, Mei Ke has mastered the skills of making excellent energy cubes, and is one of the most capable makers of the energy cubes sold in Mo Xuan's house.
Although the quality is not as good as Cao Moxuan and Xia Ruxue, the quantity can definitely crush Cao Moxuan who works for three days and rests for two days.
It can be imagined that Mei Ke, who possesses super high talent, has a bright future in the field of energy blocks, and it is not impossible for him to become a master of energy blocks.
"In short, it's good for them to have their own hobbies. If necessary, they should go to professional schools to learn professional knowledge, which will be of great help to their growth."
"By the way, what's the second thing you mentioned?"
"The second thing is the new Pokémon sequence. Now that the Chinese region has been completed, the next Pokémon sequence based on the Neon Alliance and Southeast Asian Alliance can be put on the agenda."
It took Hua Jianming an hour to memorize the sequence of the Pokémon illustrated book in the Chengdu area of his previous life. The Pokémon in the illustrated book were extremely similar to the Pokémon that inhabited the Neon Alliance and the Southeast Asian Alliance.
"Take a look and see if there is anything wrong."
Han Xin took the new sequence from Hua Jianming and read it carefully. After a while, Han Xin had read through all the contents.
“这份图鉴的难度有几点，一个是御三家小精灵的获取有一定的难度。然后是编号201的未知图腾、编号243的雷公、编号244的炎帝、编号245的水君、编号249洛奇亚、编号250凤王、编号251时拉比这七只小精灵我从来没听过。”
Except for the three starter Pokémons, the other Pokémons that Han Xin mentioned are either very rare Pokémons or legendary Pokémons, and they are indeed very difficult to obtain.
"The starter Pokémon are relatively easy to get. I remember the Alliance also captured a lot of Infernape and Crocodile. I'll go and exchange some for them when the time comes. As for Geranium, it would be great if the Alliance has it. If not, I'll wait for Brother Zhuang to come back and ask him to go to the Neon Alliance. This guy loves to go there to get money anyway."
Han Xin couldn't help but want to laugh when he heard Hua Jianming's words, but he finally held it back.
Seeing that Hua Jianming was in a daze again, he stood quietly by and waited.
Speaking of the legendary elves, Hua Jianming thought of the ancient jade fish that he had not seen for a long time, and he didn't know when they would come back.
If they can get back before Christmas, the Cao family's rescue operation will be extremely smooth. If they cannot get back before Christmas, the rescue operation will not fail, but there may be certain twists and turns.
By the way, that Dark Lugia egg should be hatching soon.
After sending Han Xin away, Hua Jianming rode on Arcanine to Dark Hills.
"Night Demon, what happened to the elf egg?"
Inside the castle, a night demon was opening a dark hole and looking towards the elf egg in front of it that was also emitting black air.
Black energy continued to overflow from the cave and was absorbed by the elf egg.
"Old, boss."
At this time, Youming came over from the side.
Today is a cowardly personality.
Youming's timid look made Hua Jianming frown, and this frown made Youming even more cowardly.
Looking at the even more cowardly Youming, Hua Jianming frowned even deeper.
Seeing Hua Jianming frowning even deeper...
Chapter 355: The Birth of Dark Lugia
Just as Hua Jianming and the cowardly Youming were staring at each other, the elf egg in front of the Night Demon seemed to shake slightly.
Hua Jianming, who was touched, no longer paid attention to Youming and turned to look over.
The night demon, who has been paying attention to the elf egg, seems to have sensed something. It forcefully expanded the dimensional black hole behind it, and more black energy gushed out from the hole, all of which were absorbed by the elf egg.
“Wow!”
The Night Demon reminded Hua Jianming.
Although there was no translation, Hua Jianming still understood what the Night Demon meant. This elf egg was about to hatch.
Sure enough, when the elf egg swallowed the black energy to the extreme, an inexplicable aura spread from the elf egg.
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Hua Jianming seemed to hear a dull sound from the dimensional black hole opened by the Night Demon.
However, Hua Jianming had no time to care about it, because the elf egg was already releasing black light.
That's right, it's a dark light.
This should be the special evolutionary light of this elf egg.
As time went by, the light of evolution grew stronger and stronger until it reached its peak, and then disappeared.
With a crisp cracking sound, the eggshell finally cracked, and a bird-shaped elf with a pitch-black body appeared in front of Hua Jianming.
It has fangs in its jaws, a mask-like structure around its eyes, and wings that resemble two giant hands.
