Chapter 8 Filio’s work record
"Ma~Qi~"
After swallowing a cream puff in one gulp, looking at the plate with only a few residues left, the dream demon let out a soft cry of satisfaction.
"Little Dream Demon, sometimes I'm quite curious. You're obviously full, but how on earth did you eat so many snacks?"
Putting his elbows on the table and gently holding his cheek, Filio asked seriously.
"Machi! Machi~!"
The little dream demon gently patted her slightly bulging belly and talked about the theory she learned from the Internet, such as "dessert is in the other stomach".
"However, even though you have gained a little weight after eating so much, your weight has not increased too much. Is it directly digested into energy?"
Philio didn't want to expose it lightly, so he looked serious and asked heart-wrenching words.
After spending so long with him, how could the dream demon not know what he really meant?
"Marge!——"
The small black figure turned into a facehugger and pounced on Filio's face. The fiery hair condensed into several strands and gently slapped Filio's head.
"Okay, okay, our little dream monster is not fat at all, and has a perfect figure, except for a slightly bulging belly."
While begging for mercy, Philio "picked" the little dream monster off his face, put it on the table, and gently scratched the dream monster's belly with his fingertips.
"Machi~"
The dream demon narrowed his eyes in relief, but did not forget to retort.
"As long as you two are at home, the house is always so lively."
While washing the dishes and watching the adults and children playing around at the dining table, Judith said softly.
"Yip!"
Frost Milk Fairy echoed with a smile. Every time she saw the little dream monster eating the snacks she made with a happy face, she felt very accomplished.
The light aroma of cream fills the room, and the light seems to have a lazy atmosphere, making people feel slightly tired and sleepy.
------------------
"Eh? Mom has gone back to the cafe? Oh, that's right, it's two o'clock. I slept well today. It seems that after training well, the quality of rest will be improved!"
"Machi~"
Rubbing his sleepy eyes in unison, Philio walked down the stairs with the dream monster sitting on his shoulders and looked at his watch.
"I'm going to make some money for you later. Are you going to go with me or go and play with Kerni? There aren't many people in her gym anyway. Why don't you go to her to practice?"
Going to the bathroom and taking care of his hair that was a little messed up while sleeping, Filio looked at the little dream monster who had started to take a nap again and asked.
"Machi...Machi!"
After thinking about it, Philio was making energy cubes for several hours without paying much attention to anyone. The little dream demon didn't want to accompany him, so he decisively chose to go to the Salo Gym to find someone who loved to play and make trouble, and met Philio again.
Very long-lasting Korni.
At this moment, inside the Salo Gym.
"Lucario, Metal... Sneeze!...Did you catch a cold during nap time?"
Korni, who was training alone with Lucario, sneezed for no reason, rubbed her nose, and was a little confused.
But soon, the cheerful little cucumber left this little thing behind and clenched his fist hard:
"Lucario, do it again, Metal Claw!"
On the high platform, an old man with scary white eyebrows was overlooking his granddaughter's training. His face was expressionless, but his eyes showed a bit of satisfaction.
------------------
"Then I'll go out. Please pay attention to safety on the road and be polite to Grandpa Cocobul."
"Marge?"
"Kerni? That doesn't matter."
"Marge!"
After saying goodbye to the little dream demon who was pretending to be reluctant to leave, and saying a few words of advice, Filio walked on a path in a relaxed mood and rushed towards the Breeders Association.
I owed more than two million yuan in debt in one day. Although it will be much easier to make money after passing the intermediate cultivator exam in more than two months, this time cannot be wasted and must be used effectively.<
/p>
The rent of the training hall is expensive, and if you go there every day, the expense will not be small.
Philio can make the little dream monster's rations, intermediate energy cubes and elf food by himself, but for the little guy's better development, he has to take high-level energy cubes from time to time as a gift. One box costs at least 50,000 alliance coins.
Although Philio currently has a very useful sensory superpower, it is still very difficult to reverse the advanced formula. He has tried many times before, and even though there was some progress, they all failed in the end.
In order to support his family, or at least not ask for too much money from his family, Filio still had to turn into a hardworking worker and go take on some OEM work for energy cubes.
Although there are a lot of junior cultivators, there are only a handful of people who have the ability to make elementary energy cubes above the level, let alone intermediate cultivators, and many intermediate cultivators are also unable to do so.
In this regard, Philio relied on his excellent craftsmanship and gradually became famous.
The production of energy cubes depends on the blending of tree juice and final shaping. If you are not careful, either the quality will decrease or the output will decrease.
With the perception and coordination brought by superpowers, Philio's configuration is almost error-free. Every portion is almost of the highest output and highest quality. This is unique in the entire Salo, so it is very popular and the price is higher than
The industry average price is much higher.
The market price of primary general-purpose energy cubes is 4,000 alliance coins per box, and high-quality ones can be sold for 5,000 alliance coins.
The market price of mid-level general-purpose energy cubes is 15,000 alliance coins per box, and high-quality ones can be purchased for 18,000 alliance coins.
Different levels of energy cubes have considerable differences in purity and difficulty in absorbing energy. They also have an important impact on the growth of Pokémon. The importance of Filio is also reflected, although he is still just a person.
He is a junior breeder, but his market performance is not inferior to those of senior intermediate breeders.
The regular processing fee ratio is 10%, and Filio's is 15%. Although the cost of the production fee is higher than the market price, it is very affordable when converted into actual craftsmanship, so the business is quite good. Several local Pokémon
Supply stores and breeding houses are willing to cooperate with him to make some high-quality energy cubes to replenish their inventory.
What Filio wants to meet today is the person in charge of a store that specializes in selling daily necessities for Pokémon. This month’s energy cubes should be made together again.
------------------
Breeder Association branch building, energy cube production room.
"Uncle Kenny, I haven't seen you for a while. Your store's business has been very good recently. I passed by several times and saw customers queuing up to check out!"
Entering the appointed room, Philio saw Kenny, who must have been waiting for a while, and greeted him with a smile and a compliment.
"Good afternoon, little Philio. Thanks to you, the energy cubes sold very well last month. How about another 20% increase this month? It's still the same price."
Kenny, who has a bit of Mediterranean hair, stood up quickly when he saw Philio, looking very enthusiastic.
"Another 20% increase? Your business is really booming, congratulations." Filio nodded, put on his gloves, and calculated the result in his head instantly, "In this case, using the association's machines and formulas, there will be a total of 180 boxes of primary energy.
Cubes, 36 boxes of intermediate energy cubes, overtime work, estimated to take two days? You know my level, I will give you a small change, and I will charge you 230,000 alliance coins."
"No problem. I have prepared the money for you a long time ago. The materials are all here. I came here in advance today just to take care of them first."
Kenny took out his mobile phone and clicked it with his fingertips. After a while, Filio's account was filled up again.
It's a pity that such income only comes twice a month.
Apart from him, the only big customer like Kenny is the breeding house of the Abe family. The purchase volume of the other companies is much smaller. All taken together, it is about 650,000 alliance coins a month.
p>
High-quality energy cubes are relatively luxurious for most people, and the consumption of the entire Salo is not high.
Most ordinary trainers still only use elf food and occasional energy cubes for training.
The level of mass consumption also determines Philio's income to a certain extent.
He is unwilling to engage in price wars for OEMs of low-quality energy cubes. Compared with junior breeders and many trainers, his income is already high, but compared with the mid-level breeders who can name stores and affiliate with the Breeders Association, it is more practical.
It's a little bit less.
The dream monster's rations and energy cubes cost approximately 80,000 alliance coins in tree fruits and other ingredients every month.
Calculated based on two boxes of general-purpose and ghost-type advanced energy cubes each month, it is about 200,000 alliance coins.
There are also skill CDs that are of average quality but cost hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands.
Calculated in this way, even though he only bred one Pokémon, Incubus, it is still difficult for Philio, who has the mentality of "raising a daughter of wealth", to save money, so he needs to work more diligently to "earn money."
.
Thinking about the innocence and cuteness of the little dream monster, and the occasional sly smile, Filio was full of motivation, adjusted his gloves slightly, stood next to the machine, and asked:
"Uncle Kenny, it's still the same as before. After starting one machine for two minutes, add materials to the other machine according to the formula proportion and start the pre-processing. Just like we did before, without wasting time, okay?"
"Of course it's no problem. Don't look at my old arms and legs. I'm no worse than you young people doing this kind of physical endurance work."
Although he is over 50 years old, Kenny still likes to do things by himself. After all, although the family business is not small, one less employee can ultimately reduce costs, and careful budgeting is the norm in life.
"You are not old at all, you are very strong and strong! Let's get started. Today is a time-tight and heavy-duty task."
With a compliment, Filio's expression returned to calmness and he quickly entered the perfect state for making energy cubes, which made Kenny nod his head repeatedly.
If my boy could be so successful, I wouldn't have to work hard to save this money.
After silently sighing at "other people's children", Kenny also got into work mode, sorting and packaging various materials.
------------------
Box after box of energy cubes have been neatly stacked quite high. Outside the window, the sun has begun to set slowly, and has been slightly blocked by the treetops outside the window.
"Uncle Kenny, there's something wrong with this one. The amount of apples is about 2% too much."
While operating his own machine, Filio reminded Kenny who was adding materials to another machine, and then with a finger click and stepped on the most precise moment, the mixture in the machine began to stir and melt.
Integrate into one body, then pour into the mold, cool and set.
After finishing the work in one go, Filio raised his head and looked at Kenny, who was still adjusting the materials. After taking a short break, he took out the tissue next to him, lightly dipped the fine beads of sweat on his forehead, and moved a bit.
Slightly stiff shoulders.
"Little Philio, your judgment is always so accurate and you can do two things at once. I think even many high-level breeders are not as good as you in this regard."
Kenny's waist was also a little stiff and sore, but he didn't mind it and had already adapted to it. He adjusted it according to Filio's instructions while praising him.
The cost losses caused by such material errors must be borne by the store. Filio's words saved him more than two to three thousand alliance coins.
"How can I be worthy of your words? It's just a little bit of vision. The seniors who have really studied this have much better vision than me."
Filio said humbly, packed up the energy cubes in the machine for Kenny, put them in boxes, and then walked to the machine next to him, seamlessly starting the connection operation.
------------------
"Little Philio, I really can't stand it anymore. Let's take a rest."
The sun was setting in the west, and the sunset was bright red. In the energy cube production room, looking at the boxes containing energy cubes piled high, and Filio who was still operating in an orderly manner like a machine, Kenny suggested.<
/p>
"It's okay, Uncle Kenny, please rest. I'm counting. I've done it 114 times today, and I can make exactly one box every time. I'll make a whole box for you today. I'm not in a hurry anyway, I'll take my time.
Come, it saves you from throwing away some less important parts when processing, which is also a cost after all."
Philio responded while operating.
While talking, all 32 perfect molds were produced again, and the aroma filled the room with a faint energy fluctuation.
"Dr. Kamal really has a good son. Uncle, I am really envious of him. I have seen a lot of skilled breeders over the years, but this is the first time you have thought about us like this."
Kenny sat on the chair, rubbing his sore waist and sighing.
As early as half an hour ago, he was a little unable to hold on, and later it was already difficult to handle the fruits.
"We all earn some hard-earned money, so it's natural to be considerate of each other."
Philio's voice was gentle and sincere, which made Kenny feel warm in his heart.
Over the past year or so, Philio has been able to find so many partners from scratch, which is inseparable from his way of dealing with people. While providing great value for money, he also tries his best to consider his collaborators, so that he can have a long-lasting business.
.
------------------
The last ray of sunlight still tenaciously brings a little brightness, and the street lights have already turned on.
After helping put the last box containing unused fruits into the back of Kenny's car, Filio wiped his sweat. Although he was a little tired, he also felt fulfilled that he was getting paid for his work.<
/p>
After saying goodbye, I walked home leisurely along the road. I also met a few classmates who came out to play. I said hello and exchanged a few words before we separated.
------------------
"Machi~"
As soon as the door opened, the dream demon, who had obviously been waiting for a long time, immediately jumped into Philio's arms.
"I'll play with you later. I've been busy for a long time today and I'm covered in sweat. I'm afraid it doesn't smell very good. I'm going to take a bath first." After touching the dream monster's little head, Filio took off his clothes.
While walking towards the bathroom, he asked, "How was your time with Korni today? Did you say hello to Grandpa Cocobul?"
"Machi! Machi!"
The little dream demon grabbed Filio's clothes in front of him, his eyes were full of attachment, and he kept shouting.
"It was a good time, if it hadn't been pestering me to go home halfway through the game."
While they were making out, a girl's energetic voice came from the living room. When she got closer, she saw that Kerni was eating snacks and drinking coffee, as if she were at home. No, to be precise, she was far more comfortable than at home.
Mother Judith is preparing dinner with a smile on her face.
Seeing Filio, she quickly winked and said, "Go and take a bath first. Korni will stay at our house for dinner today, and your father will be back soon."
Chapter completed!
