May passed in a flash, and June arrived.
Zhuqing Breeding Center.
The impact of Li Wei winning the 24th Youth Breeder Competition championship had not yet ended.
Thanks to the broadcast of the last episode of the variety show, Li Wei's popularity soared to another peak.
Both Li Wei's Super Aromatic Pokémon Puff and perfect Energy Cube sparked very enthusiastic discussions.
Because of the Super Aromatic Pokémon Puff in the semi-finals, the Aromatic Pokémon Puff made by Li Wei was also in short supply.
Li Wei had to make both Poffin and Energy Cube, and one person was simply too busy.
Fortunately, they have now solved this problem.
Lalami, Li Wei's opponent in the finals, has already joined the Zhuqing Breeding Center.
She approached Li Wei herself and proposed to join.
"After competing with you, I feel there's still a lot to learn, and Professor Oak recommended me to you."
This was Lalami's reason for joining.
A Breeder who can consistently make Super Aromatic Pokémon Puff, even more consistently than Li Wei, and recommended by Professor Oak.
How could he refuse?
Lalami is responsible for the same things as Li Wei: Pokémon hair management and Poffin, both with profit sharing.
Li Wei is unsure if Lalami can be kept at the Zhuqing Breeding Center and continue working there in the future.
But for now, it has indeed solved the problem of Poffin being in short supply and allowed Li Wei some time to rest.
After the show aired last night,
Li Wei secured the popularity award for the Breeder Competition and will sign a three-year endorsement contract with Harrod Company.
But this has to wait for notification from Harrod Company.
In the past half month or so, Li Wei successfully mastered Squirrel-shaped Mandarin Fish and Chopped Pepper Fish Head.
However, Li Wei can only make the Squirrel-shaped Mandarin Fish with the lucky buff once every three months.
Even if he makes an A-grade Squirrel-shaped Mandarin Fish again, it's just delicious, but it doesn't carry the lucky buff.
Now, as long as he completes it carefully, the probability of failure versus success is 7 to 3.
Generally speaking, the first dish is always more prone to failure, but from the second dish onwards, it becomes relatively easier to succeed.
Now even Li Wei's family and employees have figured out this pattern.
The account, which had been dormant for a long time, also featured one episode each based on Squirrel-shaped Mandarin Fish and Chopped Pepper Fish Head.
At the end of the video, it was Li Wei, appearing on screen,
"Next episode preview: Super Aromatic Pokémon Puff. Friends who like this video, please follow!"
Now everyone knows that the operator of this account is Li Wei; showing his face or not makes no difference.
Li Wei simply showed his face directly.
Now Li Wei's update frequency has become fixed.
One episode updated every half month.
Even if it's one episode updated every half month, the tutorial videos he releases are enough for others to learn slowly.
The next episode preview caused Li Wei's followers to surge.
(397,854 / 500,000)
500,000 followers are just around the corner.
Including the last episode of Chopped Pepper Fish Head,
Li Wei has released a total of 9 videos.
Among them, 8 videos have over a million views.
Although Li Wei's process of making Super Aromatic Pokémon Puff was shown in both variety shows and live broadcasts.
But without an accurate recipe, and control over time and heat, how difficult it is to replicate!
In fact, some people on the internet have long since posted replication videos, but without exception, they all ended in failure.
They didn't even make Aromatic Pokémon Puff;
Some even made disgusting Poffin,
The kind that even Grimer wouldn't eat.
Unless it's someone like Lalami, who specializes in Poffin.
Even Lalami, if Li Wei hadn't told her how to operate, she would have found it very difficult to replicate.
...
The Breeding Center has started construction again; to be precise, a large part of it has already been constructed.
Four two-story wooden houses are rising from the ground.
Machoke, Conkeldurr, and Timburr are working diligently, and Uncle is supervising wearing a hard hat.
These four two-story wooden houses will serve as dormitories for the children attending the Pokémon Summer Camp, with safety as the top priority.
Starting from July 4th, three sessions of the seven-day Pokémon Summer Camp will be held, with one day of rest between each session.
Although the children come here for the Summer Camp and they don't have money, they have received Professor Professor Rowan's approval.
It is also linked with the Shanli Research Institute,
It can also be seen as a future investment.
These children will eventually grow up,
They may also become Trainers or Breeders,
Or pursue other professions...
They might also become customers of the Breeding Center in the future.
Even if not, Li Wei will just consider it a good deed.
...
Besides daily work, Li Wei is mainly focused on mastering Crispy Apple and spicy Poké Curry.
Spicy Poké Curry, to be precise, is about the ratio of the sauce and the cooking time; it has little to do with the ingredients.
Any ingredients can be used, as long as the chef can control them.
June 8th,
A call came in,
"Mr. Li Wei, you should still remember me."
Li Wei smiled, "Of course, Mr. Harrod, you can just call me Li Wei."
Harrod is Harrod's personal butler, over 60 years old this year, and they had one previous phone call.
During the Breeder Competition award ceremony.
Mr. Harrod's voice was very gentle,
"The endorsement contract has been drafted. Do you have time to come over tomorrow? Mr. Harrod also wants to see you."
"Of course, if you don't wish to meet, that's fine. It won't affect the signing and performance of the contract. I will arrange for someone to deliver the endorsement contract."
"No, I will go. What is the specific time?"
Li Wei was also very interested in this mysterious Mr. Harrod, as mentioned by Qinglv, so going to see him was no harm.
Qinglv even gave him a gold card.
Plus, Li Wei now has Lucario, Dragapult's mother, and Mega Metagross, three Master Class Pokémon...
He was no longer the Trainer he once was, with only one Gym-level Lucario.
He didn't need to worry about safety issues.
Mr. Harrod's voice revealed his happiness, "That's wonderful! How about we schedule it for 11 AM tomorrow? We can also have a meal together then."
"No problem, I will be there."
After saying goodbye to Mr. Harrod and hanging up the phone,
Li Wei looked at his father, Comrade Leon, who was busy in the kitchen, "I have to go to Hearthome City tomorrow to sign the endorsement contract."
Comrade Leon, who was stir-frying Kung Pao Chicken, nodded, "Alright, signing a contract is a big deal. The house affairs are manageable."
Signing an endorsement contract means a lot of money...
Comrade Leon, who loved making money more and more, hummed a song.
Lalami's addition had somewhat freed up Li Wei.
...
The next day.
"Shaymin, do you want to come along?"
(Can I play hide-and-seek there?)
Li Wei pondered, "Probably not."
(Then I'd better stay home~)
"Okay, then you can play hide-and-seek at home."
(Hide-and-seek~ Hide-and-seek~)

Taking Lucario, Arcanine, and Milotic,
Riding on Metagross's back,
Two Dragapult escorted them,
"Hearthome City, forward!"
