Chapter 338 Arrival in Crystal City! Inspection of the Temporary Sightseeing Area at Snorlax Park! The Magical Berries of Pokémon Park!
The city chosen as the location for "Kirby Land" is a unique city in China called "Jingxi City," which is where Ye Yinchuan is now heading.
Although Jingxi City cannot be considered one of the top-tier cities in the country, it is much more upscale than the city where Ye Yinchuan lives.
Crystal City, just like its name suggests, is located near the sea and is rich in crystals. Even the iconic building in the city, the "Tide Tower," is a clock tower made of crystal. It is said that it plays a specific melody with the ebb and flow of the tide, a melodious and ethereal sound that is truly magical.
Crystal City has a large population, providing a significant potential tourist base for Kirby Park.
Crystal City also perfectly meets Ye Yinchuan's requirements for the surrounding wilderness areas. There are at least three well-known adventure wilderness areas nearby: Crystal Forest, Fairy Wetland, and Tidal Coast.
The three wilderness areas are interconnected, but each has a dedicated outpost. In addition, the edges of the city and the wilderness areas are well integrated. For example, some city buildings are built on water or on mountains. This is similar to the style of the towns that Ye Yinchuan played in Pokémon games. It is not like the city he always lived in, where the boundaries between the wilderness areas and the city are distinct and even quite far apart.
This is also a manifestation of harmonious coexistence between humans, Pokémon, and nature.
Statistics show that cities like these have higher rates of Pokémon ownership and a higher proportion of people becoming professional Pokémon trainers, and the corresponding Pokémon battle culture is also more popular.
It's like when you're walking down the street or in the wilderness with your Pokémon, someone might walk up to you and challenge you to a battle...
Ye Yinchuan decided to build "Kirby Park" here, so he naturally did a relatively thorough understanding and investigation of the city.
When he learned of these circumstances, he also felt a great sense of anticipation for the city.
As soon as he got off the high-speed train, he was greeted by a special person. After all, Ye Yinchuan was a crucial figure in this project. Led by Hong Yang, almost everyone involved in the project gave him the highest respect.
"Mr. Ye!"
In the crowd, a man with tousled curly hair, wearing round-framed glasses that couldn't hide his dark circles, and whose dark circles couldn't conceal his excited expression, was waving as he rushed towards Ye Yinchuan, then excitedly grasped his hand:
"Nice to meet you, I'm Lin Sen, the lead designer of the Kirby Park project!"
Seeing the other party's enthusiasm, Ye Yinchuan responded with a friendly smile:
"This is our first time meeting in person, but we've met many times online."
Ye Yinchuan has spent a lot of time discussing details about Kirby Park with this designer, Lin Sen, this month.
As they got into the car, they started talking about Kirby Park:
"Mr. Ye, we are currently working on construction and are planning to mobilize more Pokémon, such as Dugtrio and Diglett to help with the foundation, and Graveler and Golem to compact the ground... The Machamp family and the Mockingbird family have already started to be used..."
"By the way, you mentioned last time that you wanted some Sweet Bamboo to be placed in the Pokémon nap area... I'm planning to design a soundproof eco-dome. This dome will not only block sound but also intelligently adjust the intensity of light transmission, ensuring that the sunlight isn't too strong while still allowing it to penetrate well. Also, there will be a dedicated air circulation system to freshen the air and fully diffuse the scent of the Sweet Bamboo, allowing both the people and Pokémon resting inside to feel peaceful..."
"As for the ground, I plan to plant some Flounder. This plant can withstand the weight of large Pokémon like Snorlax, and it also provides a cloud-like feel. It has a strong self-cleaning function, so as long as it is watered regularly, there is no need to send someone to clean it..."
Throughout the journey, Lin Sen discussed work matters with Ye Yinchuan without uttering a single unnecessary word.
Ye Yinchuan was slightly surprised, because he had also worked as a laborer and knew that almost no one could maintain such a work attitude and enthusiasm. Lin Sen's love for this project was evident.
This suited him perfectly; he felt at ease entrusting the main design to someone like that.
Besides Lin Sen, there is a whole design team here, led by Lin Sen, but today, only Lin Sen himself is present.
Not long after.
Ye Yinchuan arrived at the construction site of "Kirby Park". The words "Hongxing Construction Group" and "Kirby Impression" were very eye-catching on the construction barriers outside the gate.
This gave Ye Yinchuan a sudden thought. He never imagined that his code name could become the signature for this kind of project construction, on par with an entire company, or even a group...
Ye Yinchuan will not inspect the area under construction for the time being. He is mainly here today to inspect the temporary tourist park, which is half-finished.
Ye Yinchuan accompanied them to the location of the temporary sightseeing park.
There was a giant Snorlax figure lying on the ground with its mouth tightly closed, surrounded by sculptures of various berries.
"This building is well-made, but where's the entrance? Can Snorlax really keep its mouth shut when it sees food? That doesn't fit its image, does it?"
Ye Yinchuan inquired, "I remember, our previous discussion was to have Snorlax's mouth open as an entrance for visitors?"
Lin Sen smiled confidently and pressed a button. Sure enough, Snorlax's mouth slowly opened.
It looks like Snorlax wants to eat these berries, and you can see the sign where Snorlax's mouth is open—
Kirby Land Temporary Tourist Area
Ye Yinchuan looked at Lin Sen with some surprise and delight; they hadn't mentioned this detail during their discussion.
"I forgot to tell you, I felt that using iron railings or any kind of gate wasn't quite right, so I simply made it a closable structure. Although it cost a bit more, are you satisfied with the result?"
Lin Sen took it upon himself to increase the budget, which would likely infuriate most business owners, who would either have to consider costs or feel that the designer couldn't distinguish between the two.
Ye Yinchuan simply nodded, because he was very satisfied with the effect. He imagined tourists lining up, waiting for Snorlax to open its mouth, and then rushing in. Ye Yinchuan thought it would be very shocking and interesting.
"Can safety be guaranteed? We can't let the doors suddenly close when visitors are entering."
Ye Yinchuan was thinking of something. What he cared about was not just Pokémon, but also people.
"You can rest assured about that. We are a professional design team, and if there were any security issues, it wouldn't pass the review."
After entering the sightseeing park and touring around, Ye Yinchuan exited from the other side, his face filled with satisfaction and joy.
Although this tourist park is a temporary construction and relatively small in area, it is small but complete in every way.
Everything I had envisioned before was there, such as waterways for water-type Pokémon to live in, well-developed waterways, and areas for Pokémon to train and play. The natural ecology was very high, with green plants everywhere, grass and soil at your feet, and apart from some necessary facilities, you could not see any concrete or steel.
There was a tree fruit corridor that Ye Yinchuan really liked. It was surrounded by tree fruits, and sunlight would filter through the gaps in the leaves above. You could easily pick some delicious tree fruits with just a casual touch...
Aside from a few minor changes, such as requiring a special passage for bird Pokémon to enter the nap area... otherwise, Bamboo Bamboo would be too attractive to bird Pokémon and might be eaten as a berry.
In fact, the official Pokédex mentions that humans may directly consume Sweet Bamboo, which is one of the few cases of Pokémon being used as food for humans.
However, in this world, almost no one would eat sweet bamboo shoots directly.
Furthermore, the encyclopedia also states that sweet bamboo is too sweet for humans to eat directly; it's just right to make juice from their sweat.
This is how people in this world treat sweet bamboo.
After all, sweet bamboo shoots are so cute, how can you eat them?
Incidentally, because Ye Yinchuan is coming to inspect the plants today, the first batch of eight Sweet Bamboo plants has arrived. They are all in good health and are very lively, like little elves, which is very endearing.
The reason for placing a batch of Sweet Bamboo in the Pokémon nap area is that the fragrance released by Sweet Bamboo is not only pleasant but also has a calming effect, which can soothe the mood of both people and Pokémon and help them fall asleep more easily.
Ye Yinchuan also tried out the nap area. There were specially designed rattan lounge chairs where people could lie down like on a swing, basking in the sunlight, smelling the sweet bamboo fragrance, and with Pokémon sleeping peacefully next to them. The level of healing and comfort was simply amazing.
In addition, Ye Yinchuan's own Pokémon have also explored other areas of the tourist park...
All the gates and passageways in the park are designed to allow large Pokémon, such as Snorlax, to pass through. This was a design strongly requested by Ye Yinchuan.
The waterways that are everywhere are also wide enough for Milotic to pass through. With Milotic's size, basically any Water-type Pokémon can also pass through them.
Because of the waterways, the temperature in the entire tourist park is more pleasant. As we all know, water has a high specific heat capacity, just like the climate of a coastal city, making it more comfortable.
In short, this tourist park is very different from other tourist parks. In other tourist parks, the main focus is on people, and Pokémon are more for "observation". However, the tourist park created by Ye Yinchuan is mainly about Pokémon. It is a paradise where Pokémon live, and people are just tourists passing through, although they will still have a good experience.
"I believe people will like it, especially those who love Pokémon."
Ye Yinchuan was quite satisfied with this temporary tourist park, even though it was a bit small and the Pokémon hadn't arrived yet... He was even more looking forward to what a wonderful park it would be when the complete Snorlax Park was built.
Of course, there is also a special design in the tourist park to facilitate Ye Yinchuan's connection to his "Elf Paradise". That is an area that is not open to the public, which is Ye Yinchuan's private office. Lin Sen designed a hidden back door for him, and there is also a special parking place there... although Ye Yinchuan does not drive at the moment.
After the inspection was completed, Ye Yinchuan and Lin Sen discussed it and decided to officially open the temporary tourist park to the public three days later.
Ye Yinchuan parted ways with Lin Sen and went to his private office. With a thought, he opened the portal to "Elf Paradise".
Previously, only Ye Yinchuan could enter "Pokémon Paradise". Although he could understand its functions, he could not activate them. But now that it is bound to "Kirby Paradise", he can bring his Pokémon in and out at will. He can also return to "Kirby Paradise" at any time through the connection between "Pokémon Paradise" and "Kirby Paradise".
Ye Yinchuan entered "Pokémon Paradise" and sent out all his Pokémon. The vast space in front of them excited the Pokémon, but they were also a little confused. However, they soon realized that this was their own paradise, very safe and incredibly free.
Snorlax, Incineroar, Decidueye, Milotic, Sableye, Cinderace, Cottonball...
Also newly added are the Electric Frilled Lizard, the Electric Frilled Lizard, the Solar Rock, the Sticky Goo, and the Two-Headed Tyrannosaurus.
Today, Ye Yinchuan's Pokémon family, or rather, its lineup, is already very full.
However, now that the temporary tourist park is about to open, Ye Yinchuan plans to catch as many more as possible. After all, it would be rather embarrassing to have only a handful of Pokémon in such a large tourist park, even if they are rare and precious.
Ye Yinchuan couldn't possibly leave all his Pokémon at the tourist park; at most, he would rotate them, implementing a shift system.
Of course, Ye Yinchuan had already made arrangements with them, and they would definitely be there to make a splash at the tourist park on opening day.
"Let's try out the 'Elf Paradise' feature..."
Ye Yinchuan plans to use some influence points to build the Elf Paradise. The most important things are land reclamation and fruit planting. The fruits in the Elf Paradise have a growth rate and quality several times that of the outside world, and there are also some special fruits that are rarely seen or even non-existent in the outside world.
"A golden banana-scented fruit? After eating it, it can calm Pokémon down, even making frenzied wild Pokémon docile? This isn't just a berry, it's practically a secret medicine..."
"A Bigger Berry? After eating it, it can increase the size of a Pokémon... This is perfect for a Pokémon like Snorlax, which is good at the move 'Body Slam,' or some Pokémon that rely on size!"
"Smallberries? Just like Beagle Berry, they can make Pokémon smaller and lighter... Although they don't seem as useful as Beagle Berry, they seem pretty powerful!"
"Amazing Candy... wait, how did this turn into a berry? Eating it can quickly raise a Pokémon's level..."
Although he had only glanced at it briefly before, Ye Yinchuan realized just how powerful "Elf Paradise" truly was after taking a closer look. The ability to plant and provide these tree fruits alone was worthy of being called a unique ability, and this was only one of the functions of Elf Paradise!
Ye Yinchuan immediately began to cultivate the land and plant some of the necessary tree fruits, a significant portion of which were intended as food for the Pokémon.
For example, Iron-Iron Fruit can, to some extent, replace the metal ores that Kodora needs to eat...
In other words, Ye Yinchuan will be able to save a lot of money just by relying on the Pokémon Paradise, and he can even raise the Pokémon better!
After leaving the Pokémon Park, Ye Yinchuan also left "Kirby Park." He was heading to the wilderness near Crystal City to begin a new outdoor adventure...
Incidentally, you can also catch rare and valuable Pokémon if you come across them.
