For the safety of the incubator, the materials used for construction would be of higher quality, ensuring that it could protect the stored Pokémon eggs from various harsh weather conditions.
A constant temperature system also needed to be procured and installed inside the incubator to maintain a suitable environment for the storage of Pokémon eggs.
Rex was not very clear about these details either. Trusting Uncle Henry, he entrusted all the construction matters to him, while he only needed to handle the final acceptance work.
Uncle Henry acted quickly, bringing three muscular men, just like him, early the next morning, each accompanied by a Pokémon.
The two muscular men were each with a Machoke, while the third muscular man's Pokémon was a Hitmonlee. All of them were strong Fighting-type Pokémon, capable of moving bricks as if they were nothing.
Five days passed swiftly, and a building appeared before Rex that was not smaller than the house he currently lived in.
This building had two stories, constructed from bricks and stones. The first floor consisted of a living room that served as a reception area for customers coming to buy Pokémon eggs, along with one room.
The second floor contained three rooms, with the largest designated for storing Pokémon eggs, serving as the main part of the incubator.
The door to this room was made of alloy steel, extremely sturdy and durable; it would be difficult for outsiders to break in without a key.
After giving Yuli and Karen a tour of the entire building, Rex was very satisfied with the construction style and quality, and he promptly settled the remaining payment with Uncle Henry.
Once he became familiar with the operational procedures of the equipment in the incubator, Rex moved the Taillow eggs from the orchard over, leaving just a dozen Taillow eggs for the Swellow to incubate themselves.
This was something only he could manage; even if Yuli and the others had tried to recklessly take the Taillow eggs, they would have been driven away by the Swellow.
Looking at the more than thirty Taillow eggs resting on the soft cushioning, Rex felt a sense of accomplishment. The temperature inside the incubator was now maintained at 30 degrees Celsius, a temperature that would neither cause the Pokémon eggs to hatch nor diminish their vitality over time.
After completing all this, Rex cleaned up one of the rooms on the second floor, planning to move in there later. This would allow him to guard the Taillow eggs and also, since he would be turning fourteen after the new year, it would no longer be suitable for him to live in the same room as three girls.
Previously, due to limited room availability, Yuli and Karen had to squeeze into one room. Although they didn't complain and got along well, Rex knew everyone desired their own personal space.
After sharing his plans with Yuli, Karen, and the others, both Yuli and Karen were visibly happy, while Yuli only hesitated slightly before letting him go, understanding his firm stance.
"I'm just letting you know in advance that I'll still be coming over to eat! Don't forget to cook my portion!"
Seeing the atmosphere becoming a bit dull, Rex joked.
"Hehe, the boss should cook for himself!"
Yuli immediately made a funny face in response to Rex's words.
"Exactly! From now on, this place will be the girls' dormitory. Boss, don't come over unless necessary!"
Karen chimed in.
"Alright, stop messing around! If the boss really doesn't come over later, you'll start missing him!"
Yuli teased as well.
In this cheerful atmosphere, the decision for Rex to move was finalized.
Later, Rex went to Fallarbor Town to purchase some furniture and beds, and he organized the reception area in the lobby on the first floor.
Once everything was ready, Rex's Pokémon Breeding House officially opened for business.
The salesperson was temporarily Karen, as she had previous sales experience and could start right away without any training.
In reality, the work at the breeding house was quite relaxed; it only required welcoming customers who came for inquiries. If customers expressed interest in buying, they would collect the payment and then lead the customer to the second floor's incubator to choose a Taillow egg.
Rex had already organized the remaining rooms for the Machoke, which previously had to sleep in the lobby or on the floor of his room. Now they finally had their own space.
Having them residing there would significantly bolster the security of the place; he believed no one could steal the Taillow eggs from the second floor under the watchful eyes of so many Pokémon.
Rex priced each Taillow egg at 20,000 coins, a decision made after much consideration. This price was affordable for most families.
With everything set, Rex created a grand opening poster and posted it on the task board in the central square of Fallarbor Town, a hub for town announcements. Many residents frequented this area to post or accept tasks, so he didn't worry about it going unnoticed.
Initially, Rex thought it would take some time for the news to spread and attract customers. However, on the day the opening poster went up, many parents brought their children over.
In just one afternoon, they sold eight Taillow eggs.
The parents who came with their children were very straightforward; after confirming the availability of Taillow eggs, they paid right away and rushed to let their children pick an egg, fearing they would miss out.
"Boss, is business at this breeding house really that easy?"
Karen exclaimed excitedly.
In her previous sales jobs, she often had to use a lot of persuasive skills to convince customers to buy products, and the results were often not very good, with items typically priced under 1,000 coins.
Yet this afternoon, Karen barely had to make any introductions, and customers were eagerly handing over their money to buy the Taillow eggs, as if they were afraid she wouldn't sell them any.
"You have to understand the importance of a suitable starter Pokémon for a new trainer!"
Rex's first Pokémon had been a Taillow, and he knew how helpful a Flying-type Taillow could be for these new trainers. It was truly a value-for-money choice.
As news spread, the following days saw a continuous stream of people coming to Rex Farm to buy Taillow eggs.
By the afternoon of the third day, all the Taillow eggs that had been placed in the incubator were sold out.
After three days of working as a sales representative at the breeding house, Karen proudly stepped down. This experience had completely reshaped her understanding of the sales industry.
Rex was also thrilled to have earned over 600,000 coins in such a short time. With this money, he could even afford to expand the glass greenhouse, reserving space for future cultivation expansion.
However, Rex still planned to visit the artificial lake first. At this moment, he remembered that the Pokémon residing at Rex Farm were not limited to just Taillow, but also included Poliwag.
Although Poliwag were not as strong as Taillow as starter Pokémon, in the absence of Taillow eggs for replenishment, Rex believed it would also be fine to sell some Poliwag eggs.
