Just look at it...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Mu was barely holding back drool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nimo noticed Luo Mu staring at the car behind her; after a moment’s thought, she remembered his home looked quite old, and her family had many different cars in the garage—so maybe...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nimo opened her mouth to ask Sebastian to give the car to Luo Mu, but Sebastian spoke first as he approached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dressed as a butler, Sebastian bowed slightly, right hand pressed to his chest, and said respectfully: \"Mr. Luo Mu, please allow me to express on behalf of the family our deepest gratitude for rescuing Miss Nimo from the villains.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Mu smiled. \"It was nothing. No need for such formality.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sebastian shook his head as if startled. \"How could it be nothing? During Miss Nimo’s disappearance, Master, Lady, and Miss Carine were all frantic. Only your intervention prevented a tragic separation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Might you grace us with your presence at our estate? The family has prepared a generous gift to properly thank you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nimo’s eyes sparkled slightly—was Big Brother really going to visit her home?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yay!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Luo Mu’s response to the invitation was firm; he shook his head and declined. \"I appreciate their kindness, but I didn’t act for any reward. I must respectfully decline this invitation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was short on money, but not so desperate as to leverage a small favor for repayment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, with his strength, there were many ways to earn money—he simply chose not to pursue them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh—?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nimo’s face fell with disappointment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had thought she might spend more time with Big Brother...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see... I understand. But please accept this small token of our gratitude.\" Sebastian, perceptive, realized Luo Mu didn’t want material gifts; he swiftly pulled out a gold-embossed business card and smiled. \"This is my card. It contains my personal contact details—should you ever need anything in the future, please reach out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sebastian was clever: since Luo Mu refused material thanks, he offered something else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the steward who managed the daily affairs of the estate, contacting him was, in a sense, contacting the master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This favor wouldn’t vanish—it merely transformed into another form, waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the Master himself preferred to cultivate a relationship with Luo Mu, a retired Champion-level Trainer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps someday, when traveling to other regions, they might need to hire Luo Mu to avoid attacks from evil organizations?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this world, the strong are always in demand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Mu accepted Sebastian’s card, told Nimo she could visit his farm anytime, then returned to the farm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not far from his small villa, about ten figures and several Hailys were working feverishly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if noticing Luo Mu’s arrival, the boisterous voice of the middle-aged man from earlier over the phone called out: \"Mr. Luo Mu, you’re back?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Mu turned to see a middle-aged man wearing a hard hat and a mustache, who gave the first impression of being shrewd; he waved as he approached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Mu scanned him briefly, his expression shifting slightly; upon closer look, admiration flickered in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn, you really are a pro at childcare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man carried two small children on each arm, one riding on his head, and two or three more playing and wrestling a couple meters away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This hellish scene—Luo Mu knew he’d go insane within ten minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Impressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With deep respect for the foreman, Luo Mu nodded slightly. \"The job’s done. Of course I’m back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he looked at the busy workers and asked, \"Are you preparing to start work?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The foreman grinned. \"You agreed to our impolite terms—of course we’ll get everything ready as soon as possible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Mu smiled. \"Then I leave the farm’s basic planning to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haily Construction Team—quality you can trust!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The foreman wasn’t shy at all; after reciting the slogan, he struck the Haily’s signature muscle-flexing pose, making the children giggle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, under the children’s watchful eyes, Luo Mu and the foreman discussed a series of details and finalized the farm’s development plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Haily Construction Team accepted the planning project for a flat fee of 100,000 Alliance Coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scope included dividing the farm into three zones: farmland, pasture, and lake area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this low price only covered zoning and basic infrastructure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most structures and items were wooden; upgrading them would require far more money—unfortunately, Luo Mu didn’t have it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After paying, he had less than 300,000 Alliance Coins left in savings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It barely covered living expenses; his Raichu and others would occasionally go hunting to ease the household burden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How to turn this startup capital into more money was now Luo Mu’s problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Luo Mu felt he’d merely jumped from a 996 job into an even more terrifying 007 pit...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, compared to others starting from nothing, he’d already won at the starting line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Small Spoon Town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside a mansion with its own garden and beach, Nimo, after returning home, grabbed her father Allen’s arm; under her sister Carine’s encouraging gaze, she blushed and said: \"Father... I want to become a Trainer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Allen stopped walking; his eyes, identical in color to Nimo’s, flickered with surprise. He knelt down and smiled at her. \"What made our little princess change her mind? Let me guess... was it that retired Champion-level Trainer?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nimo blushed and nodded, then gathered courage: \"I want to be as strong as him—I’m aiming to become a Champion!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1041,"2026-06-20T17:11:47.132Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","b6441fa2ff2234e86423ec5a7e621a26a47f7cedbf78b015485d55ca286d7b8b","pokemon-the-reemployment-of-a-paldea-former-cham-chapter-13","pokemon-the-reemployment-of-a-paldea-former-cham-chapter-11",695,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpokemon-the-reemployment-of-a-paldea-former-cham-cover.jpg"]
