Pokémon Devil King

Chapter 327: Hanhan's New Use

The sturdy man looked at Jiuji and the two "ordinary" Pokémon beside her suspiciously, then looked at the determined official, and finally his trust in the alliance overwhelmed his doubts. "I'm Ajian from the 'Sea Tide Energy Cube Workshop'! I'm anxious about the three containers of pomelo fruit in Area C-7! If you delay for another two days, this batch of goods will be wasted!"

"I'm the head of the 'Hoenn Fruit Union'. The oranges that we supply to several breeders in Shuijing City are in Area B-3, five containers! Time is very tight!" A middle-aged man with glasses and a more gentle demeanor hastily added.

"I'm……"

"My cherry fruit is..."

All of a sudden, a chorus of demands came up, and every face was filled with anxiety and the last glimmer of hope.

Jiuji listened patiently without interrupting until everyone reported their respective locations and main types of cargo.

She glanced at the chaotic docks and said, "Qi Zai, record all demand points and sort them by the critical time of cargo corruption and the priority of processing."

【已记录并排序完毕。最高优先级：C-7区文柚果（3箱，腐败临界剩余36小时）；次高：B-3区橙橙果（5箱，腐败临界剩余48小时）；其余……】

"Mr. Jian, your pomelo fruit is the most urgent, so let's start with you." Jiuji's gaze fell back on the sturdy man, and his tone left no room for doubt, "Lead the way to Area C-7. Everyone else, please return to your respective cargo areas for the time being, prepare to receive the transfer tools, and ensure that the transfer route is unobstructed."

She then turned to the alliance liaison: "You go and coordinate with the dock workers. I need at least ten empty flatbed trucks on standby, parked on the main channel."

Ajian nodded subconsciously: "Okay...Okay! Follow me!" He turned around and strode towards the area where his goods were stacked.

In Area C-7, three huge containers were open, and the rich, almost fermented aroma of pomelo fruit wafted into the air, mixed with a barely perceptible sour smell. Deep inside the container, some of the fruit on the bottom layer had lost color due to the squeezing and heat. A few long-winged gulls were trying to get in and peck at the food, but Ah Jian waved them away irritably.

"Look! The bottom few layers have started to rot! If we don't deal with it..." Ajian pointed to the inside of the container, his voice full of heartache.

Jiuji ignored his chatter, walked straight to the container, raised his hand and threw a Poké Ball: "White Sea Lion, Freeze Beam! Pay attention to the control range, don't freeze the fruit body!"

First cool down and keep fresh, then transport and process.

"Ao!" It's finally time for me to work!

The white sea lion raised its head, and a bone-chilling cold light instantly condensed in its mouth. A fan-shaped torrent of freezing air with tiny ice crystals suddenly spewed out!

The cold air covered the container precisely, and the iron outer wall of the container was covered with winding ice ridges at a speed visible to the naked eye, reflecting the dazzling cold light in the afternoon sun.

The temperature inside the box drops suddenly.

"Hiss..." Ajian gasped and subconsciously hugged his arms tightly, shivering from the sudden chill.

The long-winged gulls and Zubats that were hovering over the rotten fruit, waiting for an opportunity to peck at it, screamed and fled in all directions.

Temporary cold storage, formed in an instant!

"Mr. Jian, the temporary cold chain transport vehicle provided by Yajing Group will arrive at Port Area A within the hour. First come, first served. You can manage your time accordingly." Jiuji paused and added, "The transportation fee will be settled according to the alliance's standard disaster emergency price, and payment will be made upon delivery."

"You...you are from the Yajing Group?!" The panic and despair were instantly dispersed by the huge surprise. Ajian had obviously heard of the name of this behemoth, although he had never dared to hope to cooperate with it.

Similar surprises began to happen all over the dock.

What Jiuji has to do is to follow the priority sorted by Qizi, take Daidai, White Sea Lion and Chenglong, and freeze and cool the containers in each area one by one, and then wait for their own transport ship to arrive.

The scene at the dock seemed to be cast by magic, quickly transforming from a chaotic battlefield to an efficiently operating logistics center.

Under the command of the union officials and the coordinator of the Yajing Group who arrived later, the workers stopped arguing and began to count, register and transport in an orderly manner.

After freezing the designated area, the white sea lions and dragons swam to the processed containers and intermittently sprayed freezing air to maintain the critical low-temperature preservation effect.

Jiuji stood on a slightly higher cargo box, overlooking the port which was gradually returning to order.

Lucario stood quietly beside her, the power of the waveguide was like an invisible radar, quietly scanning the energy flow and life breath of the entire area to ensure that there were no accidents.

Daidai sat at her feet, looking at the busy scene below with curious eyes and yawning occasionally.

"Dai~" Daidai suddenly reached out and touched Jiuji's arm, pointing to a container in the distance that had just been processed by a white sea lion.

Jiuji's gaze shifted away.

The surface of the box was covered with a uniform layer of thin ice with fine crystals, which reflected a rainbow-like halo in the afternoon sun, which was extremely beautiful.

This is in stark contrast to the area next to the dragon that was frozen and covered with a thick layer of ice.

The freezing beam of Longyan is extremely powerful, and the freezing effect is heavy and solid, like the corner of a glacier, full of power.

The White Sea Lion's freezing beam is completely different - its freezing air is softer and more precise, covering a thinner layer of ice, but condensing fine and uniform ice crystals on the metal surface.

What’s even more amazing is that at certain angles, the ice crystals are arranged and combined to form wave-like ripples and swirls, with a unique, almost artistic beauty.

"Ao~ Ao Ao~" The white sea lion finished the maintenance of an area, poked its head out from the side of the box, proudly shook off the water droplets on its head, and called out to Jiuji and Daidai as if asking for credit.

His round eyes were full of anticipation of, "Look, I did a great job, should I be rewarded with something delicious?"

Jiuji looked thoughtfully at the place it had just "maintained".

There, because of a slight deviation in the jet angle and its subconscious, light tail-swinging action like a painter finishing his brush, the edge of the thin ice actually outlined a nearly perfect, small ice crystal vortex pattern, like an instantly frozen wave.

The registration and deadline for the Kaina City Gorgeous Contest flashed through her mind.

Originally, she planned to have Daidai appear again in the first round of review, using the changes in water flow to respond to the seaside style of Kena City.

But at this moment, watching the white sea lion inadvertently display its almost instinctive "shaping" ability for the freezing beam, a new idea that was more in line with the current scene took shape in her mind.

"Dai?" Daidai seemed to have noticed the trainer's thoughts jumping around and looked up at her.

"Nothing." Jiuji's lips curled up slightly, showing the joy of discovering an unexpected treasure. "I just think I should pay more attention to everyone."

She looked at the white sea lion who was trying to win the award and raised her voice: "White sea lion, do you want to join Dai Dai in the gorgeous competition?"

"Ao? Ao Ao?" What is that? Is it edible? Is it better than the snacks made by Dai Jietou?

When the white sea lion heard the words "gorgeous competition", he tilted his head a little confused.

"Chenglong, come along too," Jiuji turned to Chenglong who was still busy on the other side, "You should go out once in a while. Staying in one place all the time is not conducive to improving your strength."

"wuwu~" Chenglong nodded indifferently, as if he was happy to accept any task.

"After the mission, I'll give you a snack." Jiuji threw out a bait that the white sea lion couldn't refuse, "But before that, you need to practice first."

"Ao!" The white sea lion's eyes lit up instantly. As long as there was food, he would do anything!

The Yajing Group's transport ships are incredibly efficient.

In less than six hours, all the perishable fruits piled up at the port had been frozen and loaded onto special cold chain transport vehicles. Under the guidance of the coordinator, the convoy drove to their respective destinations or temporary cold storages in an orderly manner.

The sweet, fermented smell that made people anxious on the dock was finally completely replaced by the refreshing sea breeze.

The crisis was resolved. Alliance officials and suppliers gathered around and thanked Jiuji profusely. Especially Jian, who was so excited that he almost bowed to the young investigator and the eldest daughter of the consortium.

Jiuji just nodded calmly.

Mission completed, points earned.

This is enough.

For her, it was perfect to use some small resources to complete a task with good points.

What's more, those transport ships that were transferred here did not lose money.
