Chapter 118: New Technology
【Your citizens’ Garbodor shared the technology “Concrete” with your other citizens!】
【Concrete: Unlocks the production process for concrete, which can be used to build houses and bridges!】
Inside the City Hall’s lord’s private office, Lei Wen couldn’t help but be slightly taken aback as a technology panel suddenly popped up.
“Elif, how are the Garbodor doing?” Lei Wen asked.
“Reporting, Your Highness, yesterday those monsters, led by Machop, went to their dwelling and stayed there to rest,” Elif reported. “This morning, they seemed to have gone to the construction site with Machop.”
Hearing this, Lei Wen immediately understood what was happening.
It seemed the Garbodor had understood the situation in the territory and had begun to actively try to integrate into this place.
This outcome was within Lei Wen’s expectations.
Pokémon who were once slaves would not refuse a place that treated them kindly and viewed them as “people.”
“Yes, with the addition of these Garbodor and Machop, the remaining projects in Raven City should be completed very soon,” Lei Wen thought to himself.
However, the number of residents in the territory was still too small, only three hundred people, which was even less than the population of some villages. This also led to most of the town’s areas being vacant.
This was also a problem…
Lei Wen couldn’t help but start thinking about corresponding solutions.
The first method: vigorously develop the city and attract people from other places to settle here.
The second method: when war breaks out, many people will likely be displaced, and at that time, they can take in these people to increase the territory’s population.
The third method: wait for the natural procreation of the citizens within the territory, commonly known as having children.
But no matter which method, it could not be completed immediately in the short term.
Thinking of this, Lei Wen couldn’t help but sigh.
Never mind, such things cannot be forced. Instead of dwelling on this matter, it would be better to take this opportunity to see what useful new technologies could be unlocked.
With the construction of the new town and the satisfaction of the three basic needs of food, clothing, and shelter, Lei Wen had gained tens of thousands of satisfaction points in just a few short days.
He glanced at it; the current satisfaction balance was: 9730.
【Gathering】→Branch 1【Basic Berry Cultivation】→【Advanced Berry Cultivation】→【Fertilizer Science】→【Plantation（Unlocks）】
→Branch 2【Basic Herbalism】→【Advanced Herbalism】→【Bandage Application（Unlocks）】
Branch 3【Toilet】→【Bathhouse】→【Irrigation Canal（Unlocks）】
【Livestock】→【Basic Processing】→【Advanced Processing（Unlocks）】→【Messenger（Unlocked）】→【Pokémon Legion Reform（Unlocks）】
【Fishing】→【Basic Shipbuilding】→【Advanced Shipbuilding（Unlocks）】
【Mining】→【Basic Ore Theory】→【Advanced Ore Theory（Unlocks）】→Branch 1【Construction（Unlocks）】
→Branch 2【Pottery（Unlocks）】→【Clay Doll（Not Met）】
Several new technologies appeared on the technology tree that could be unlocked.
Among these, with the construction of the bathhouse in the territory, the related 【Bathhouse】 technology on the technology tree panel was also automatically unlocked.
In addition, Lei Wen noticed that the 【Messenger】 technology was also in an unlocked state.
This was a technology for training flying Pokémon like Pidgey as messengers, which Ai Wen had shared with him before.
Besides that…
Lei Wen’s gaze swept over the technologies that could currently be unlocked.
【Plantation: Unlocks the cultivation, gathering, and processing techniques for economic crops such as natural rubber, coffee, cocoa, and oil palm. Redemption Cost: 1500 Satisfaction.】
【Bandage Application: Unlocks the production technology for medical bandages and some treatment techniques for bone and surgical diseases. Redemption Cost: 1500 Satisfaction.】
【Irrigation Canal: Unlocks irrigation canal related technology. This technology can bring water sources to farmland through various channels, forming an irrigated water network system that can effectively reduce flood disasters. Redemption Cost: 2000 Satisfaction.】
【Pokémon Legion Reform: Provides unified training methods for all Pokémon incorporated into the troops. Redemption Cost: 3000 Satisfaction.】
Besides these, there was also a technology later on that could create Pokémon like Clay Doll Person and Clay Golem, but Lei Wen’s current satisfaction was still a bit short.
“In that case, let’s unlock some more useful moves first!” Lei Wen thought.
Plantation could provide methods for cultivating and processing some economic crops. Whether it was rubber, palm oil, or cocoa beans, they all had great uses. However, the only problem was that there were no seeds for these crops in the territory.
Bandage Application: When knights and Pokémon train together, injuries like fractures and sprains can easily occur. At such times, potions alone are not enough. This technology could improve the medical level within the territory and be very useful at times.
Irrigation canals were also very important. Currently, most of the fields in the territory were reclaimed near the river, and it was fine during this season.
But during summer, extreme weather like heavy rain could occur. Although moves like Sunny Day could change the weather, Machop’s current strength was not enough to change the weather for 24 hours a day.
Therefore, this technology was also very important.
“In that case, let’s unlock Bandage Application, Irrigation Canal, Pokémon Legion Reform, and Pottery first!”
With a slight movement of Lei Wen’s mind, his satisfaction was instantly deducted by 7500, leaving only 2230 points.
Lei Wen planned to save this satisfaction for now. When it reached ten thousand, he would use it to unlock the 【Clay Doll】 technology and see how Pokémon like Clay Doll Person and Clay Golem were made.
If the production technique was simple, then they could mass-produce these Pokémon. Whether for developing the territory or defending it, Clay Golem could play a very significant role.
While thinking, Lei Wen wrote down the newly unlocked technologies on a piece of parchment and handed it to Elif, asking him to take charge.
After finishing his official duties, Lei Wen stood up and let out a slow sigh.
Next, he would take Dragonair and Servine for special training.
They now knew Kyurem’s location. Before officially heading there, they had to improve their strength to a certain level, at least enough to protect themselves.
But just then, Lei Wen suddenly heard a clamor from the street outside.
“Hmm? What’s going on?”
He was slightly taken aback and then walked to the window.
The next second, Lei Wen saw a large procession on the wide street.
That was… ?
Just then, hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside.
Elif, who had just left, pushed the door open, his aged face revealing an expression of immense excitement.
“Prince Lei Wen! Someone is here from the Royal City! His Majesty received our letter! His Majesty not only sent us many people but also sent Victini!”
As soon as Elif finished speaking, Lei Wen heard a familiar yet unfamiliar cry.
“Nini!”
