Monster Hunter: Farm Story Begins with Pokémon

Chapter 458: Letter from the Fire Nation

1 month 30 day.

Bai Zhen has been sleeping for more than a month, and today there is still no sign of Bai Zhen waking up.

In the afternoon, in the living room of her home, Shuiyun was dealing with the piles of documents on the table. The piles were more than one meter high.

These are all receipts for the farm’s expenditures and income during this period, including various application reports.

In addition, there are many reports on various operations of the Pokémon World Star Group, as well as documents such as the group's future strategic plans.

In just a month or two, many subsidiaries of Xinghui Group have officially got on track.

Among them, the pharmaceutical company and the materials company have completely completed the acquisition procedures, and the entire company has officially started operations.

Other subsidiaries, including jewelry, energy, and food, have also acquired a medium-sized enterprise, preparing to make big moves.

In addition, the aerospace-related subsidiaries have now started operating. The satellite that Bai Zhen wanted to customize before is almost completed, and the first finished product will be available in about ten days.

Shui Yun finally finished processing the satellite expense declaration form in her hand. She placed the form on her left hand side. She turned her head to look at the pile of documents on her right side, and she couldn't help feeling a little exhausted.

It seemed like there was no end to the work. Even though she now had the Rotom Phone and many Felynx to help her, it was still a bit too much for her.

But she really had no way to recruit people. The situation on the farm was special, and she couldn't just recruit anyone who could read and write to help.

Here we also have to consider troublesome things like whether the secrets of the Pokémon world are appropriate to tell the other party.

Just when Shui Yun was having a headache and was preparing to deal with other documents, Huo Ya, with its snow-white wings, landed steadily outside the house.

Huoya walked into the house holding a stack of documents about twenty centimeters thick.

Seeing her sister coming back, Shui Yun nodded to her sister from a distance and said, "Sister, you've worked hard on the interview. How was it going?"

Huoya handed the document in her arms to Shuiyun, and said with a tired tone: "It's even more amazing than I thought. I didn't expect that just by posting a recruitment in the name of Dr. Bai Zhen, 212 scholars came to our Yanhuo Village to apply. There are experts in various fields."

A month has passed, and although the population of Yanhuo Village has skyrocketed, it now only has three thousand people.

This time, 212 scholars came to apply to join the [Yanhuo Village Universe Center] founded by Bai Zhen.

Among these 212 people, after written tests and interviews, as well as certain identity and background checks, a total of 23 experts and scholars were hired, with an employment ratio of about ten to one.

The entire interview process was extremely tedious, and Huoya was busy for a whole week before screening out scholars who met Bai Zhen's requirements.

Shui Yun was also shocked when she heard this number: "I remember that this is the first batch of the fastest scholars, right?"

Due to the limitations of the speed of information transmission in the Monster Hunter world, there are definitely quite a few scholars who are willing and capable but have not received the news, or are on their way.

Huoya: "This is also thanks to the recommendations of the scholars who came to Yanhuo Village to study attributes. After they knew about the new universe center we were going to establish, they were very happy to help introduce us. Most of the people who came to Yanhuo Village now are scholars from the kingdom and surrounding villages. Scholars from farther away are still on their way. I estimate that in the end, there will be no less than 2000 people who sign up to apply."

2000 scholars is a very terrifying number in the Monster Hunter world.

These are not 2000 civilians, but 2000 scholars and experts with professional knowledge. These scholars and experts may be highly respected in their cities or countries, but now they have come to Yanhuo Village to join the new project.

Shui Yun thought that 2000 people might be a little conservative. The scholars recruited this time covered a wide range of fields, even a botanist like Bai Zhen who seemed to have nothing to do with the universe was recruited.

Shui Yun glanced at the documents in her hand and asked her sister: "Are these the names of scholars who have passed the interview?"

"Yes, thanks to Leafa's help, I was able to screen these scholars within a week. These materials include their personal information and various signed contracts. Please enter them into the computer first, and then save the original files."

"Okay." Shui Yun quickly flipped through the information of these 23 scholars.

Among them are 10 dragon scholars, 8 human scholars, and 5 scholars from other races, including but not limited to sea people, earth dragons, and orcs.

The Sea People are a race that lived with the sea. Apart from culture, the biggest difference between them and humans is that they have fins on their hands. Also, there is a very obvious boundary between light and dark on the skin of the Sea People.

Shui Yun took a look at the information of the Seaman scholar named [Heller]. This is a very special Seaman who is very good at studying material fusion.

This Heller scholar originally came to study the attribute metal that appeared in Yanhuo Village, but after arriving, he heard that Bai Zhen was recruiting researchers, so he came to apply.

In addition to him, there are also the Earth Dragon Clan who are very good at forging.

Some of the Earth Dragons live in Naguli Village, an Earth Dragon village located at the foot of a volcano. In terms of appearance, they are not much different from humans, nor do they look much like dragon people.

They are good at making weapons and building large ships, and like to live near magma because it makes it easier for them to forge.

The people from the Earth Dragon tribe who came to apply for the job this time originally came to Yanhuo Village for the metal attribute. Later, they heard that Bai Zhen was going to build a rocket to fly into space, so they signed up for the interview without hesitation.

A quick look at the 23 scholars who passed the interview shows that one-third of them are scholars and experts who are good at construction and material research.

Shui Yun spread out the information and prepared to input it into the Rotom phone.

Huoya sat down opposite Shuiyun, drank some water and rested for a while, then looked towards the second floor and asked, "How is Bai Zhen? Hasn't he woken up yet?"

"He hasn't woken up yet. Emrido is helping take care of him on the second floor. He will probably wake up in the next two days."

After a month, Bai Zhen's evolution is still not complete, but judging from the situation, Bai Zhen will probably wake up in the next two days.

The two also received feedback on this through the clones released by Emrido and Bai Zhen.

"Then we have to work harder and finish all the work before he wakes up."

Just as Huoya was helping Shuiyun deal with the documents at hand, about half an hour later, outside the house, Xie Mi suddenly appeared at the doorstep after traveling through the spirit world.

She walked towards Huoya happily with a dozen letters in her mouth.

She used telepathy to ask for credit in Huoya's mind: "There is a letter~"

Huoya took the letters from Xiemi's mouth. She touched Xiemi's head with a smile and praised him, "Good boy, thank you~"

Xie Mi happily rubbed Huo Ya's hand and asked impatiently: "Can I have ice cream?"

Xie Mi's big round eyes looked at Huo Ya expectantly, with an extremely lovable look.

Shemi could have put the letter into her own little spiritual world, but she took it in with her mouth.

This is to express yourself well.

Huoya could naturally see through Xiemi's little thoughts.

But this little thought makes Shemy even more adorable.

"Sure, but you can only eat one serving." "Great!"

Xie Mi didn't even want to run away. She traveled through the spirit world and came to the refrigerator. She opened the freezer with great skill and took out the ice cream she wanted. She put the ice cream on her head. She traveled through the spirit world again and came to Huoya's thigh. Then she opened the lid of the ice cream in Huoya's arms.

When Huoya saw Xiemi’s cute appearance, her fatigue of the day was relieved a lot.

Looking at the lovely Xie Mi every day really makes her feel much better.

Huoya rubbed Xiemi's head and turned his attention back to the letter.

Nowadays, Rotom phones are basically popular in Yanhuo Village. Within the village, everyone is now accustomed to using mobile phones to communicate, and few people use letters anymore, unless it is a very formal occasion, then they will write letters to others.

This situation is like when someone is getting married and they are going to write letters to send invitations to everyone to invite them to attend the wedding banquet.

Based on her understanding of Yanhuo Village, there shouldn't be anything important happening that requires writing a letter.

Then these dozen or so letters must have come from outside the village.

Most of the people who send the items to the farm are businessmen with whom we have had cooperation in the past, who want to contact the farm in advance via letters to place large orders for certain items.

Or it could be a letter from the Hunter's Guild, or an invitation letter from some scholars, etc.

Huoya quickly flipped through the letter in her hand. She glanced at the logo on the envelope, as well as the recipient and other information and knew roughly what was written inside.

As expected, more than half of these letters were from farms ordering products, and the remaining one-third were inviting Bai Zhen under various names.

Some invited Bai Zhen to join a research project, while others invited Bai Zhen to give lectures in their city.

Huoya simply helped Bai Zhen deal with these letters.

When faced with an invitation, Huoya always politely declined and invited the other party to visit Yanhuo Village.

As for those orders, Huoya made a brief assessment and asked Elu Cat, who was in charge of allocating farm resources, to record the needs of those merchants and then prepare the goods for those reputable merchants in advance.

Huoya has the authority to handle these letters.

But when Huoya was looking through other letters, her attention was attracted by a crimson envelope.

This envelope is more gorgeous than other envelopes, and the paper used is obviously different from other envelopes.

"What is this letter?"

Huoya first glanced at the recipient, it was undoubtedly Bai Zhen.

Looking at the logo on the envelope again, it took her a long time to react to the unfamiliar, yet unexpectedly familiar logo.

Suddenly she realized why she felt both familiar and unfamiliar!

It was strange because she had never seen this logo a few months ago, but it was familiar because she had seen this logo almost two months ago!
"Is this a letter from the Fire Nation?!"

Huoya muttered in surprise, and Shuiyun, who was sitting opposite her, was immediately drawn to the word "Fire Country".

She put down the work in her hands and asked her sister: "A letter from the Fire Nation? Is the Fire Nation the small country that Bai Zhen went to conquer Peng Gelong before?

"If the Fire Country is the only country in the world that regards the Fire Spirit as its totem, then this letter must have come from that country."

Shui Yun frowned slightly. She felt something was wrong and asked, "Almost two months have passed. What's the matter that the Fire Nation suddenly wrote to Bai Zhen?"

"I don't know." Huoya was about to open the envelope and look at the letter inside.

But as soon as she held the envelope close to herself, she suddenly smelled a pleasant scent of rouge powder.

This letter was written by a young girl!

Huoya's mind immediately thought of the video that Bai Zhen had shown her before, and of the princess of the Fire Nation whose beauty was so stunning that one could describe her as a being of heaven.

Huoya hesitated for a moment and put the letter in her hand aside.

Shui Yun saw that her sister suddenly didn't intend to open the envelope, and asked in confusion: "Sister, what happened?"

Huoya said honestly: "I feel that this letter may involve some personal privacy. Let's wait for Bai Zhen to wake up and let him open it himself."

When Shui Yun heard her sister say this, even though she was extremely curious about the contents of the letter, she had to suppress it.

Shuiyun nodded, agreeing with Huoya's idea. She tried to focus her attention back on the computer in front of her, but her eyes were always attracted to the red envelope.

The envelope was like a black hole that prevented her gaze from escaping.

Huoya wasn't much better, she kept keeping an eye on the letter.

I couldn't help but start to think wildly: "There is no doubt that this letter must have been written by the princess of the Fire Country. The handwriting is beautiful, and there is also a nice perfume smell on the envelope. That is not a perfume that ordinary girls can afford. Why did the princess write a letter to Bai Zhen? This can't be a love letter confessing her love, right?"

When Huoya watched the video before, she noticed the wavering emotions in Princess Lingling's eyes.

Although Bai Zhen tried her best to deny it, but as a woman's intuition, she still firmly believed that the princess must have been moved.

But she didn't know to what extent she really liked the dialogue.

Shui Yun looked at the letter and felt extremely conflicted. After a moment, Shui Yun tried to persuade her sister.

"Sister, what if this letter is from someone from the Fire Nation asking for help from Bai Zhen? Or what if someone is coming to visit our Yanhuo Village? If that's the case, it would be better for us to prepare as soon as possible, right?"

After Shui Yun said this, Huo Ya was actually a little tempted. After all, Bai Zhen gave her the power to manage the correspondence information.

But reason told her that she couldn't just open the letter, as it might contain content she didn't want to see.

"Forget it. Bai Zhen will wake up in the next few days anyway, so let him open it himself."

Huoya decided to respect Bai Zhen's privacy.

But the next second, Xie Mi saw that Huoya and Shuiyun both had very conflicted expressions, so he took the initiative to open the envelope for Huoya: "Let me help you open it~"

She was not afraid of Bai Zhen anyway, and she would just apologize to Bai Zhen if she made any mistakes.

He looked like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.
