"Meow~"
"Gu~"
"Woo~"
"Gengar..."
Sprigatito, Rowlet, and Vulpix were chasing each other around the house, but Little Gengar, which had always been lively, calmed down. It silently floated aside, staring at Kitty to prevent this guy from causing trouble.
It is now after school, and I spent the whole day peacefully. After that, I went to the suburbs as usual and took tutoring with Lillie.
Selene is also here, but she forgot something at home and went to get it. Her Rowlet is left here playing with Sprigatito and the others.
Taking advantage of this gap, Lillie turned on the computer, clicked on the website page she had revised, and showed Xingye the results.
Looking at the advanced page on the screen that was completely different from the first version, Xingye didn't know where to start. The only thing that hadn't changed was the Odd Jobs logo at the top that he made himself.
"It's a bit awesome..."
"It's just so so. The main reason is that I'm not very proficient in this area. This is already the limit. There may be some problems with website security. It would be great if I could find a hacker master to help."
Lillie explained a little embarrassedly, but it was a pity that she didn't know anyone in this field, but Xingye didn't care, he had Rotom Phone, and as long as he didn't take the initiative to expose it, his identity would not be found out.
"So what is the use of this thing now? Do you still need to register and log in to my website account?"
"You are also using someone else's server. You can log in with their account. It is similar to a forum. Here, trainers can post bounty inquiries... Although it is inevitable that you will be cheated, this is the only way for now."
Lillie explained some things about the website to him. In fact, there are quite a lot of similar websites like this, and many of them have even been developed and open to other trainers.
She was actually a little worried about the website Odd Jobs, because there was only one person running it, Xingye, so how could he deal with the problems of so many people, and this guy's theoretical knowledge of Pokémon was not as good as hers, so she could only try her best to help.
Then she continued, "If possible, I will anonymously ask friends to promote it tomorrow, but I still have to remind you... This is quite difficult to do. Due to various reasons such as the market, there is a high probability of losing money, so don't have too much hope."
Xingye shook his head and responded with a smile, "It doesn't matter, I'm very satisfied, thank you..."
Before she finished speaking, Lillie suddenly waved her hand to interrupt, and then she said with a serious expression, "This is what I should do as a member of Odd Jobs, and I am the one who should say thank you the most. If it hadn't been for what happened after I met you that night, I definitely wouldn't have been able to make changes!"
Looking at this serious young lady, Xingye scratched her hair, sighed, and responded, "You have silenced me, what do you want me to say?"
"Hey!"
"..."
Xingye did not continue this topic. He looked at the website and said directly, "That's it, give it a try first, maybe your luck will improve."
"Okay!"
"Isn't it true that no one else knows?"
"No, it's just the two of us."
"That's fine."
Xingye has begun to look forward to the follow-up development. Now that there is an extra Kitty in the family, the expenses have doubled. I just hope that I can trick a stupid guy on the Internet to give me money...
After finishing my work in the evening, I took Sprigatito, who had eaten enough and went to bed, back home. On the way, Gengar seemed to have something she wanted to say, but she hadn't brought it up yet.
"Just say what you want to say, does it have something to do with Sprigatito?"
"Gengar..."
Gengar sat in his arms, hugged his belly, and nodded. Xingye understood what he meant, which was that Gengar hated people cheating on him as a trainer, and Sprigatito was particularly unhappy after his personality was exposed.
After understanding the meaning, Xingye asked Cyclizar to slow down a little, freed up a hand to touch Gengar, and said with a smile, "Let's not talk about other reasons, why isn't it just me again..."
"Gengar?"
"Have you forgotten, I was hated by my classmates before, but now they have begun to accept me and even take the initiative to help me. Kitty is not bad in nature, he just needs some changes and a little help."
It is obviously impossible to temporarily help Sprigatito solve the problem of Curse. This will at least have to wait until Paldea Region has the chance to do it.
Now Kitty's favorable impression of him is most likely to be a long-term meal ticket. Let me ask a guy who likes to eat, would he like someone who can cook? And the food is delicious and he is full.
After hearing what he said, Gengar had no objections. He had to try to accept him before rejecting him. Moreover, everyone was a part of Odd Jobs, so there was no need to cause any conflicts.
The atmosphere suddenly calmed down again. Sprigatito, who was lying on Cyclizar's head and seemed to be asleep, moved his ears slightly, opened one eye and took a look, then continued to close it again.
Soon they returned to Kabukicho. Some Meowths at the street corner saw them coming back and quickly hid. Xingye noticed them and ignored them, but they still paid a little attention...
The next two days are weekends, and not having to go to school means I have time to take on commissions.
Moreover, Lillie has promoted Odd Jobs's website to friends, and indeed some people came in and asked serious questions.
They are all students and can only earn some pocket money. Most of them have questions about Pokémon's training, but Xingye still answers them with his professional perspective and insights. He is very good at this aspect and there is no problem at all.
It is currently in the early stages of development, and we need word-of-mouth and accumulation of popularity. After waiting, we will look for opportunities to make our own servers and fully develop the website.
However, there are also some strange guys who ask strange questions. For example, there is a person with an ID called "Alola's Cutest Hellgirl", and it feels like he is here to cause trouble.
"Who is the person behind the scenes?"
"My name is Odd Jobs, can I really do anything?"
"Can I post a dating advertisement here? My Gengar is looking for a girlfriend."
"In addition to simply answering questions, can you also help me draw pictures?"
"..."
Xingye is confused, there are a lot of questions, and all of them are asking for one dollar per dollar.
If Odd Jobs didn't need to accumulate reputation now, he really wanted to use Rotom Phone's system to hang up and greet the other party on the line to greet the whole family.
I don't know where Lillie got this kind of friend, or did he simply learn about it from other channels and then sneak in to cause trouble?
If you encounter someone who is deliberately causing trouble, just ignore it. Although Odd Jobs is marked for trainers to ask questions about Pokémon, there is no restriction on speaking and you must ask this.
Of course, he will answer some questions that are not Pokémon's according to the situation. For example, an acquaintance whose ID is obviously "Mallow Must Work Hard Today" asked about the cooking recipe. It was probably Lillie who mentioned it during the promotion...
The progress has basically stabilized like this. Gradually, some passerby trainers also learned about the existence of Odd Jobs through the publicity of those students, but after all, there were still too few, but don't rush, take your time.
A month passed very quickly, and Xingye had passed all the make-up exams from the previous semester and the first and second grade exams in one go, except for the third grade exam. Such a speed made some students call it outrageous.
As for Odd Jobs, the daily requests from some Pokémon neighbors have increased a lot, such as helping to carry goods or shopping. As long as there are requests, he will basically accept them.
In my free time, I will take Gengar and Cyclizar to practice. Sprigatito spends most of the day basking in the sun after eating Rest. At night, Xingye also made a nest for it to rest.
It has completely adapted to life here, but occasionally there are still some small problems, such as being unable to control its subconscious grabbing for food when eating...
Other aspects are relatively good. At least the things that Xingye was worried about did not arise. Pokémon at home are indeed trying to get along with each other and there are no conflicts.
It's just that my family is running out of food, and once the rent is paid, and the cost of renting a website server, it's really hard to bear.
And Odd Jobs Website doesn't always have a lot of problems every day. It finally hit a bottleneck and the traffic started to drop. Although it never started to rise again, there were still too few people after all.
But just one week before the wilderness survival course started, a user with an ID called "Teacher Mi" suddenly appeared on Odd Jobs Website and left a question.
"I accidentally found this place where there are few people and no one knows me. Odd Jobs means you can do anything, right? Can you listen to me complain?"
"Well, tell me."
Occasionally, there will be people like this. When life is not easy, they will find a place to escape online. Xingye is also used to it. Sometimes he seems to be such a person. Anyway, it would be nice to give him a little comfort...
"My girlfriend is a gym trainer, but she suddenly broke up with me yesterday. I want to know how to get back together. Please teach me!!!"
Xingye:"???"
