Chapter 94: The Thief
But how was this achieved?
The ordinary clay used to fire bricks was molded into the shape of a Clay Golem and brought to life.
Lei Wen recalled the Clay Golem’s types, being a Ground and Ghost type Pokémon. Could it be that a soul was required as a driving force during its creation?
This is pure Black Technology!
It’s a shame that before the technology was unlocked, he couldn’t view more detailed information.
Lei Wen couldn’t help but feel a little regretful, but based on the current situation of his territory, he chose to unlock three technologies: Advanced Berry Cultivation, Fertilizer Science, and Toilet.
As a result, the Satisfaction he had painstakingly accumulated over this period was instantly cleared.
However, at the same time, a large amount of information flooded into Lei Wen’s mind.
Skills and cultivation methods for rare berries such as Durin Berries, Wiki Berries, and Pomeg Berries were unlocked!
The method for producing fertilizer for crop growth was unlocked!
The construction method for a Toilet was unlocked!
“With this, the residents and Pokémon in the territory will have a dedicated place for excrement,” Lei Wen thought to himself.
He briefly reviewed the fertilizer production process and discovered that there were several types of fertilizer.
One was made by mixing crop stems with the excrement of an Explosion Head Water Buffalo, then treading and composting it.
Another was… human excrement treated through fermentation. This technology could be linked with the Toilet.
Lei Wen glanced at the Toilet technology. This toilet was not a simple pit latrine, but a complete toilet system that combined corruption, filtration, oxidation, and conversion.
The effects of different fertilizers varied. Some could accelerate crop growth, while others could make the soil more fertile.
As for the chemical fertilizers commonly used today, they were not yet available, but these were already sufficient.
Lei Wen had a few Pokémon stay at home while he went to the Lord’s Hall, summoned Elif, and instructed him to arrange for workers to build toilets and produce fertilizer.
Elif, having received the order, hurried away.
Lei Wen then let out a long sigh of relief.
He looked at the technology called Clay Doll on the technology panel and couldn’t help but think: I still need to find a way to gain more Satisfaction.
Lei Wen was eager to know the production methods for Clay Doll Person and Clay Golem.
With these two Pokémon, the territory’s production capacity could be greatly liberated, and the progress of city construction would also significantly increase.

At the same time, Megan’s Pasture.
Megan directed her brother Chris to dig a pond in the pasture and channel water from the riverside.
Once the pond became clear, Megan placed the six Magikarp inside one by one.
Watching the Magikarp swim leisurely in the pond, Megan stood up and let out a long sigh of relief.
“Alright, you can live well here!”
Chris beside her also felt relieved. He turned to look at the Beehive where a large number of Combee lived, and then reminded his sister:
“We must not forget Prince Lei Wen’s instructions.”
“Yes, brother!”
Chris looked around and said to his sister, “You go take care of those Monsters, and I’ll go plant the Flower Seeds.”
His Highness said that these Monsters relied on Gathering Nectar to brew Honey, and if there was a dedicated Flower Field in the pasture, these Monsters wouldn’t have to travel so far to collect Nectar.
With that said, Chris began to act.
These Flower Seeds were a rare type called Gracidea flowers. They were said to be tribute from envoys from other continents and were very rare in the Unova Region.
Prince Lei Wen liked flowers very much, so the King handed these Flower Seeds to him to take to his territory and plant in his own Garden.
But now, Prince Lei Wen had entrusted such precious Flower Seeds to them for cultivation…
They must not let down His Highness’s expectations and must cultivate these flowers well!
Chris secretly made up his mind.
Meanwhile, Megan carefully approached the Beehive, gazing at the golden, palace-like interior and inhaling the sweet scent of Honey. Megan felt that the scene was so dreamy.
She stared for a long time without realizing it until a Combee flew in from outside, jolting Megan awake.
She carefully tapped the doorframe and called out, “Um, excuse me!”
The Combee and the Vespiquen in the Beehive all turned to look.
This was Megan’s first time facing these unfamiliar Monsters alone, and she couldn’t help but feel nervous.
“Um… is there anything I can help you with?” Megan asked cautiously.
Seeing this, the Vespiquen could clearly feel that this human seemed a little afraid of them.
“Bee~”
It let out a gentle Growl.
Then, a Combee flew over with some Honey and landed in front of Megan.
“Huh? This is for me?” Megan was a little surprised.
The Combee nodded happily and then flew back to the Queen’s side.
Megan put the piece of Honey into her mouth, and her eyes instantly lit up.
“So sweet!”
“Bee~” The Vespiquen let out a gentle Growl.
“Thank you!” Megan was no longer as nervous as before.
She pointed to herself and said to the Combee, “If you need any help, please come and tell me. My brother and I will do our best to help you!”
“Bee~” The Vespiquen readily agreed.
Megan then breathed a sigh of relief.
That night, Megan and her brother Chris stayed at the Pasture to Rest.
Their belongings had already been moved from their previous House to here.
Although the house here was not large, it was fully functional and had several rooms.
After a busy day, the siblings went to bed early and drifted off to dreamland.
Deep in the night, when all was quiet.
Above the Pasture, a moth Pokémon, entirely black with an orange stripe on its abdomen, traced the sweet scent to this location.
It circled in the air for a moment, its gaze quickly locking onto one of the buildings, its eyes filled with greed.
That was a Gothitelle, a Pokémon that had no fixed abode and constantly flew through mountains and fields in search of its favorite Nectar.
Some scholars, through observation, discovered that although Gothitelle’s staple food was Nectar, they never collected it themselves and were rarely seen in Flower Fields.
It was only late at night that Gothitelle became very active, flying back and forth and stealing Honey from the nests of sleeping Combee.
Now, it had returned.
The Gothitelle’s gaze greedily fell upon the Beehive below.
It wasn’t in a hurry, but patiently flew around the area for a few laps. Only after confirming that all the Pokémon here had fallen asleep did the Gothitelle quietly sneak into the Beehive.
Seeing the room full of stored Honey, the Gothitelle’s eyes lit up.
Was this… paradise?
It quickly flew forward, expertly avoiding the sleeping Combee, and used its pointed mouth to suck the sweet Honey.
Perhaps because the Gothitelle was too engrossed in its feeding, it made a noise unintentionally.
This sound instantly woke the surrounding Combee and the Vespiquen.
Upon seeing someone stealing Honey, the Combee and the Vespiquen were instantly enraged.
“Bee!”
