He himself did not use it in his battle with Chief Champion Yaci.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yaci, as Chief Champion, certainly possesses a Terastallization Crystal, but Luo Mu definitely does not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The outer shell of this Terastallization Crystal, formed by scattered Terastallization energy underground in Paldea and properly enclosing the raw Terastallization Crystal ore, is of extremely high value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So high that it could lift Luo Mu, who is barely scraping by in poverty, back to middle-class stability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sell it to Yaci!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a flash, the idea flashed through Luo Mu’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the Special Prompt System was flashing text in his vision like it had gone mad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【I know you want to sell it—NO! DO NOT SELL IT!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【With it, your Pokémon’s strength can improve even more—why sell it?】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Waaah, please don’t sell it, I promise I’ll help you with your farm!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【This is my lifetime request!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“.........”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Mu was speechless—what a pitiful system, making him feel like he was bullying someone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t mind keeping it, but you have to respond instantly whenever I need a prompt, okay?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【No problem!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the text clearly conveying its joy, Luo Mu sighed and internally accepted the Special Prompt System.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This thing seems dumb and harmless—having a chat partner to pass the time isn’t bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After moving all the furniture and items needing sunlight outside with Gyarados, Luo Mu fist-bumped Gyarados’s right palm and smiled: “Thanks for your hard work—tonight we’re having a big feast. Go rest in your Poké Ball.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gyarados nodded, touched the Poké Ball among the six on Luo Mu’s belt that belonged to it, and vanished in a red flash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Mu stretched, his gaze sweeping the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from the furniture needing sun exposure, the sealed cardboard boxes had also been opened, their contents scattered quietly across the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had gone through everything inside—aside from a few photos of the elderly couple, there was almost nothing useful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Mu planned to tidy these items later and take them to the elderly couple’s grave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides that, he found several bags of unlabeled plant seeds—probably flower or herb seeds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, these seeds were no longer viable; the elderly couple likely didn’t store them properly when they bought them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so much time had passed—even if they had been stored, they wouldn’t have lasted this long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only unexpected gain was this raw Terastallization Crystal ore in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Luo Mu toyed with the raw Terastallization Crystal ore, hesitated a moment, then pulled out his phone and dialed a number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duh……. duh, the call was quickly answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How unusual—you suddenly remembered to call me, Champion Luo Mu?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice on the other end was none other than Yaci, Chief Champion and President of the Paldea League.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve retired already—President, just call me by my name.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Mu sighed, correcting Yaci’s title; after spending some time in Paldea, he had naturally caught her attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After getting to know each other, they grew familiar, and Luo Mu spoke to her without the usual tension he felt with others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other end, Yaci gave a slight shake of her head—this small test revealed that even after half a month, Luo Mu had not changed his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She sighed silently, then said without expression: “So what brings you to me today?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Mu said slowly: “I found a raw Terastallization Crystal ore. I’d like to ask you to help me deliver it to the two doctors to be crafted into a usable Terastallization Crystal.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Yaci’s expression turned serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raw Terastallization Crystal ore—this is an extremely rare material...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And more importantly, Luo Mu wasn’t asking to sell it to her for money—he wanted it crafted into a usable Terastallization Crystal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That meant he hadn’t completely abandoned the path of a Trainer... this could work!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A strategy instantly formed in Yaci’s mind. She cleared her throat twice, her face bright with a smile: “Arranging a connection is a small matter, but... Luo Mu, do you know how expensive it is to craft a Terastallization Crystal?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Mu was stunned—wasn’t the Terastallization Crystal supposed to be a standard item for new Trainers? How expensive could it be? Wait... no.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, Luo Mu remembered: in this timeline, Terastallization had only just been developed, far from the stage of cost reduction and mass production—just like before his transmigration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many high-performance black technologies had already been realized, but due to material and cost constraints, they remained confined to labs, unable to scale into industry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Terastallization Crystal was in the same situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn, he’d been too hasty!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Mu patted his chest nervously and asked hesitantly: “Could you tell me—how much would it cost to craft a Terastallization Crystal, if I provide the raw material?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yaci smiled: “You’d probably need to sell the land you just bought to afford it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sssss...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Mu sucked in a sharp breath—no way was he crafting this thing! He’d rather sell himself than sell that land!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing he didn’t urgently need it, Luo Mu was about to give up on crafting the Terastallization Crystal when Yaci suddenly spoke: “But this problem isn’t unsolvable...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Mu froze, instinctively leaning in to listen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll cover the crafting cost—but... I have a condition.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“C...condition?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In exchange, you must become a Battle Instructor at the Orange Academy in Table City.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Recently, our Battle Instructor took a long leave, and as the academy’s chairperson, I’ve been struggling to find a replacement—you’ve come at the perfect time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You might as well have walked right into my arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Yaci finished speaking, Luo Mu, phone in hand, fell into thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Become a teacher?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Didn’t Yaci worry the future of Paldea would be ruined by him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And... his dream wasn’t to be a teacher!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Luo Mu could refuse, Yaci, as if reading his mind, presented a proposal he simply couldn’t reject.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ll only teach two Battle classes per week—it won’t take much of your time. And Table City is very close to Flat Plate Town; your Dragonite can make the round trip in no time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Most importantly, I’ll cover the full cost of crafting your Terastallization Crystal, and your salary as a Battle Instructor will be the same as a regular faculty member. Are you satisfied with this proposal?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Mu realized he’d been completely manipulated by Yaci—every proposal hit his sweet spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Short working hours, a salary to supplement his household, free Terastallization Crystal crafting, and no interference with his dream of becoming a farmer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did he have any reason to refuse?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>None!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Mu immediately decided: “Chairperson, when do I start?”\u003C\u002Fp>",1230,"2026-06-20T17:11:47.132Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","8e664c3b81b77ab8ea175e44df34bce13dee6b572ab05e76bb839698eac891f8","pokemon-the-reemployment-of-a-paldea-former-cham-chapter-4","pokemon-the-reemployment-of-a-paldea-former-cham-chapter-2",695,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpokemon-the-reemployment-of-a-paldea-former-cham-cover.jpg"]
