I Want to Become a Trainer

"Thank you for stepping in, Mr. Luo Mu."

Officer Jenny, looking every bit the dashing officer, led a group of police officers in a sincere salute to Luo Mu. The parents of the three children hugged them tightly as though they had survived a disaster, tearfully expressing their gratitude to Luo Mu as well.

Luo Mu was not very good at handling such situations. He laughed awkwardly and endured it until Officer Jenny had escorted the kidnappers away. Then he turned to look at Nemona, who had been waiting nearby, the middle-aged butler beside her who called himself Sebastian, and the luxury car behind them.

"Damn, if I remember right, this car costs at least ten million, doesn't it?"

Luo Mu's eyes went wide as he gazed longingly at the extremely low-key black luxury car. If he had not happened to come across an introduction video about it online recently, he would not have recognized it at all.

Rich young ladies really were different. Even their everyday cars were this luxurious.

Stare.

Luo Mu was practically drooling.

Nemona noticed Luo Mu's gaze fixed on the car behind her. After thinking for a moment, she remembered that Big Brother's home looked rather old. There were plenty of different cars like this in her family's garage, so perhaps...

Nemona wanted to ask Sebastian to give the car to Luo Mu, but Sebastian spoke first to Luo Mu, who was walking over.

Dressed as a butler, Sebastian first gave a slight bow, placing his right hand over his chest as he respectfully said, "Mr. Luo Mu, please allow me to express the most sincere gratitude on behalf of the family. Thank you for rescuing our second young miss from those villains."

Luo Mu smiled. "It was nothing more than a small effort. There's no need to make such a fuss."

Sebastian seemed alarmed as he shook his head, saying sincerely, "How could that be? During the time the second young miss was missing, the master, madam, and eldest young miss were frantic with worry. It was only because of your intervention that such a tragic ending, with them separated by life and death, was avoided."

"Would you honor us by visiting the estate? The master and the others have prepared a generous gift and wish to thank you properly."

Nemona's eyes lit up slightly. Was Big Brother going to visit her home?

Awesome!

However, Luo Mu's attitude toward the proposal was extremely firm. He shook his head and politely declined. "I appreciate their intentions, but I didn't step in for any reward. Please forgive me for declining this invitation."

Though he lacked money, he was not desperate enough to use such a trivial favor to demand repayment.

Besides, with his abilities, there were plenty of ways for him to make money. He simply did not want to do things that way.

"Eh...?"

Nemona looked disappointed, her spirits falling.

She had thought she would get to spend a little more time with Big Brother.

"I see. Then please accept this small token of gratitude." Butler Sebastian was quite perceptive. Seeing that Luo Mu did not wish to accept a tangible gift, he simply took out a gilded business card from his pocket and smiled. "This is my business card. It has my private contact information on it. If you ever need anything in the future, please feel free to contact me."

Sebastian was clever. Since Luo Mu did not need a material reward, he would thank him in another way.

As the butler who normally handled the estate's various affairs, contacting him was, in a sense, the same as contacting the master.

This favor would not disappear. It had merely been transformed into another form and would wait there.

Moreover, compared to material gifts, the master also wanted to build a good relationship with Luo Mu, this retired Champion-Level Trainer.

Perhaps when traveling to other regions on business in the future, they might need to hire Luo Mu to avoid being attacked by evil organizations?

The strong would always be sought after in this world.

After accepting Sebastian's card, Luo Mu told Nemona that she could come to the farm to play whenever she had time before seeing her off. Then, he returned to the farm.

At that moment, not far from the Small Western-Style House where he lived, around ten people and several Machoke were working away in full swing.

Seemingly noticing Luo Mu's arrival, the hearty middle-aged man's voice from the phone call earlier rang out. "Mr. Luo Mu, you're back?"

Luo Mu turned to look and saw a middle-aged man in a safety helmet with a handlebar mustache walking over while waving at him. The man gave off the immediate impression that he was very calculating.

Luo Mu scanned him for a moment, his expression changing slightly. Looking carefully, one could even see admiration in Luo Mu's eyes.

Good lord, you really were helping take care of kids.

Two children who looked about half-grown were hanging from each of the middle-aged man's arms, while another was riding on his head. A few more children were playing and roughhousing one or two meters away.

In such a hellish Shura Field, Luo Mu would probably go completely insane in less than ten minutes.

Impressive.

With respect for the Foreman in his heart, Luo Mu gave a slight nod. "The matter's been handled, so naturally I came back."

Then Luo Mu looked at the busy workers and asked doubtfully, "Are you getting ready to start work?"

The Foreman smiled. "You already agreed to such an impolite condition from us, so of course we had to get everything arranged as quickly as possible."

A smile curled at the corners of Luo Mu's mouth. "Then I'll have to trouble you with the farm's basic layout."

"Machoke Construction Team—quality you can trust!"

The Foreman was not embarrassed in the slightest. After reciting the slogan, he struck Machoke's signature muscle-flexing pose, making several children giggle.

Next, with several children watching them, Luo Mu and the Foreman discussed a series of matters and ultimately finalized the farm's development plan.

The Machoke Construction Team took on the planning project for a full payment of one hundred thousand League currency.

The project involved planning the farm and dividing it into three major sections: the Farming Area, Ranch Area, and Lake Area.

However, that cheap price only covered dividing up the areas and building basic infrastructure.

Most of the buildings and items would be made of wood. Upgrading them would require much more money, but unfortunately, Luo Mu did not have that much.

After all, once he had paid, he had less than three hundred thousand League currency left in savings.

It was barely enough for living expenses, and Luxray and the others would occasionally go out hunting to ease the household burden.

How to use this startup capital to make more money was what Luo Mu needed to worry about.

Thinking of this, Luo Mu felt as though he had merely jumped from the 996 grind into an even more terrifying 007 pit.

Still, compared to others who had started from nothing, he had already won at the starting line.

Los Platos.

Inside a mansion with its own garden and beach, Nemona, having returned home, grabbed her father Allen. Under her sister Karen's encouraging gaze, she blushed and said, "Father... I want to become a Trainer."

Allen stopped walking. A hint of surprise flashed through pupils the same color as Nemona's. He crouched down and smiled at her. "What made our little princess change her mind? Let Daddy guess... was it that retired Champion-Level Trainer?"

Nemona blushed and nodded. Then she gathered her courage and said, "I want to be strong like him too, and work toward becoming Champion-Level!"
