Pokémon: The Journey Begins with a Cowherd

Chapter 383 Zhemutian is short of money!

"Hey, are you getting ready to challenge the Silver Tournament, huh?"

"I'm really looking forward to seeing you next time!"

Hearing Zhemu's words, Qingyuan said with a mix of emotion and anticipation.

"The Silver Conference in Chengdu would indeed be a suitable next target after the Quartz Conference concludes!"

Hearing this, Xia Qiu nodded in agreement.

"When you come to Manjin City, I'll treat you to a meal at my ranch!"

Upon hearing this, Zhe Muda immediately smiled and said to Xia Qiu and Qingyuan.

"Come on, your ranch isn't even here yet!"

"What if we all go and your farm still isn't built? That would be a laughing stock!"

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan immediately smiled and patted Zhemutian on the shoulder.

"Just you wait and see, I'll definitely have the ranch built by June this year. Please come and see the grand opening of my ranch!"

Hearing Qingyuan's words, Zhemu Tian was not annoyed, but patted his chest and assured him.

"Didn't you say before that you were planning to do missions for two years to earn money and build a ranch?"

"You've made enough money in just two days?"

Seeing Zhemutian's confident demeanor, Qingyuan asked him with a puzzled look.

Just two days ago, Zhemu Tianhai told him about his plan to make money and build a ranch.

I didn't expect that Tsugita would change his mind so quickly.

"We may not have other money, but we have the money to build the ranch!"

Upon hearing this, Zhemu Tian immediately waved to Qingyuan with a smile.

Where did you get so much money?

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan asked Zhemu Tian in confusion.

"Need a loan? Go to Guan Microfinance! Super low interest rates to meet all your needs!"

Just then, an advertisement from the commentator made Qingyuan realize what was going on!

"You went to borrow money?"

Looking at Zhemu Tian in front of him, Qingyuan asked in shock.

"I haven't borrowed the money yet. I plan to borrow it after I get back and finish all the formalities!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Zhemu Tian shook his head and said to Qingyuan.

How much does it cost to build a ranch?

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan didn't press further, but instead quietly inquired about the total cost of building the ranch.

"All things considered, it should amount to three or four million!"

"I currently have over a million Alliance Coins, and borrowing another three million should be enough!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Zhemu Tian silently calculated in his mind and then spoke.

"How about this, I'll lend you three million, interest-free. You can pay me back whenever you have the money!"

"You'd better not get involved with that loan app called 'Guan Xiaodai' or something. The interest rates are too high, you'll just be losing out!"

Upon hearing Zhemu Tian's words, Qingyuan pondered for a moment before speaking to him.

He currently has over ten million Alliance Coins in cash, because he has already exchanged resources with Professor Oak and the others.

So for a long time, the money he had wasn't of much use.

Rather than letting the money sit idle in his hands, he felt it was better to lend it to Zhemutian.

Anyway, once the fossil caves start producing fossils in a couple of years, a few million won't be a lot of money for him.

"This……"

Upon hearing this, Tsugita's face immediately showed reluctance.

He and Qingyuan were very good friends, so he didn't want to owe Qingyuan any favors unless absolutely necessary.

"How about this, I have some spare cash on hand, not much, just over a million!"

"How about I invest this money in you and take a stake in your ranch?"

"I don't need you to pay me back the money, just give me a share of the profits every year!"

Just then, Xia Qiu, who had overheard Qingyuan and Zhe Mutian's conversation, turned around and spoke to Zhe Mutian.

Xia Qiu, who has received professional training, understands these intricacies better than Qing Yuan.

Judging from Zhemutian's expression, it's clear that he doesn't want to owe Qingyuan a favor.

So he changed the way he gave money, turning lending into investment.

Anyway, as long as the money was given to Zhemutian and Zhemutian's funding shortage was resolved, personal relationships and such were not that important.

"I can also give you my three million as an investment. With more funds on hand, we can build a big ranch, and then we can go to your ranch for vacation!"

Upon seeing this, Qingyuan's eyes lit up and he spoke to Zhemutian.

"Let me think about it. I'm not sure if the ranch will make money!"

"I can't let you guys lose money, but thank you anyway!"

"If I needed money, I would definitely ask you for it!"

Hearing Xia Qiu and Qing Yuan's words, Zhe Mutian stood there for a while and thought for a moment before speaking.

He originally started his ranch simply to fulfill a childhood dream.

Whether he made a profit or a loss, he didn't care at all.

If all else fails, he can go out and take on missions to support the entire ranch.

But now Qingyuan and Xiaqiu suddenly want to invest in his ranch.

Zhe Muda, who was originally ready to make a big splash, suddenly became hesitant.

If he loses all of Qingyuan and Xiaqiu's money, how will he face his two friends in the future?

"It's no big deal!"

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan patted Zhemutian on the shoulder and said nonchalantly.

"It's okay, just ask if you need anything, we're friends!"

Seeing this, Xia Qiu waved to Zhe Mutian and said.

"Next up is the fourth match of the Indigo League Round of 16, featuring Ash from Pallet Town and Hiro from Formosan City!"

"Please welcome both players to the arena!"

Just as Qingyuan was chatting with Zhemutian, a comment from the commentator made Qingyuan look up at the battlefield.

"I didn't expect Ash and Hiro to be on the field so soon!"

"I wonder who will win this match between the two of them!"

Looking at Ash and Hiro, who were slowly walking out of the entrance passage and heading towards the battlefield, Aoki asked with curiosity.

"It should be Ash. His Beedrill is pretty strong, and it has great synergy with Ash!"

Hearing Qingyuan's words, Xia Qiu stroked his chin and looked at the two people on the battlefield.

"Ash's Primeape is pretty strong too. Even in martial arts battles, neither his Primeape nor his Primeape can beat Ash's Primeape!"

"I heard from Ash that his Primeape even won the Fighting Tournament. It truly deserves to be called a champion Pokémon!"

Upon hearing this, Tsugita continued Natsuki's words.

Ash and Taketo Shimoda had a private sparring session before.

To Zhekida's surprise, Shimoda and his Infernape, both of whom came from the Fighting Gym, were no match for Ash and his Infernape.

Ash gave him a real lesson on what it means to be intimidated by a fighting champion.

"Is that so? Then this match is going to be very interesting!"

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan looked at the battlefield with amusement!
