When Dak woke up, the first thing he did was look around him.
The nine eggs' flashing frequency was very fast now, but they had not yet hatched.
Dak sighed in relief, then suddenly felt something heavy on his legs.
Looking down, he saw that Eevee and the others had somehow made their way outside and were snuggled up sleeping around him.
Pawniard, however, was awake, seemingly unfazed by the suddenly enlarged store, just quietly standing by the lake, looking at his reflection on the water surface.
"Hey, Dak, the room suddenly got bigger! I don't know what happened!"
Bon Clay hadn't come out from the dormitory yet, but he started shouting.
Then, opening the door and stepping outside, he was immediately stunned, his mouth agape, walking out dumbfounded at the suddenly transformed surroundings.
"Don't be too surprised, Bon Clay, our Mystery Hatchery House is going to spread across many worlds. The store can't stay this small forever."
Dak looked at Bon Clay like that and still explained a bit.
After all, there would definitely be occurrences that would shake one's world view in the future, and they couldn't always think about muddling through every time.
"How did you do it?"
"It's somewhat related to the development of our house. The birth of these little ones is a sign that our house is taking a big step forward, so the store also changed along with it."
Dak didn't mention it was a system task; that explanation would be too complicated.
This way of explaining it was simpler, and not exactly wrong.
"It's magical. Ever since you appeared, I've felt the world starting to become strange to me."
Bon Clay calmed his own little heart.
"No, it's me who has made this world strange."
Dak shook his head, correcting Bon Clay's words.
"Dak."
At this moment, Darkrai emerged from Dak's shadow. He almost didn't need to sleep, so he had been around all this time.
"Yeah, Bon Clay, you and Darkrai prepare those things we prepared yesterday again. These little ones are about to be born."
Dak stood up with a slight headache, feeling suddenly overwhelmed by the tasks at hand.
The sudden increase in the number of Pokémon in the store made Dak acutely aware of his poverty.
He wanted to buy some toys for the little ones, use Pokécoins to get some food for them from the marketplace, but he had no funds.
How to make money? Dak pondered while Bon Clay and Darkrai were preparing things.
Selling these little ones would definitely be the quickest way. It seemed like both the Marines and the Whitebeard Pirates had this idea, even Mihawk was interested in Pawniard.
But Dak was somewhat reluctant to part with them, and also not quite at ease.
The Pokémon that had already hatched naturally weren't the same as when they were eggs.
Dak liked the little ones clinging to him; it was a good feeling, and he quickly grew fond of them.
When they were eggs, without any response, Dak didn't feel as affectionate, it was more about responsibility.
More importantly, he had already said that after a Pokémon is born, only those who gain the Pokémon's approval can obtain the right to buy it.
So, this method was passed on.
If that didn't work, then selling goods was the next option.
He could buy some goods from the Magic Marketplace and then sell them at a high price.
For example, Moomoo Milk from before, whether it's the Whitebeard Pirates, the Marines, or even Mihawk, they would buy it; those few are not the ones who would worry about money.
Although their Pokémon eggs had not hatched yet and they were not in a hurry to buy Moomoo Milk.
But calculating the time, those eggs would probably hatch within a week; they might come with Belly three or four days later to buy in advance.
By then, he could also make some money.
"Sigh, not being the head of the house, one does not know the expense of firewood, rice, oil, and salt."
Dak didn't know how many times he had sighed about this.
In just a short while, the sounds of Bon Clay and Darkrai preparing things had also woken up the Pokémon around them.
Eevee, just waking up, burrowed into Dak's arms, curling into a ball intending to continue sleeping.
"Dak, you can't, little brothers and sisters are about to be born, I still have to watch, Eevee, be good, go sleep over there."
Dak didn't mind holding this soft little ball, but he still had to deliver the newborns.
Bon Clay and Darkrai wouldn't know how.
It was about time he found an employee to teach about these matters. He couldn't always do everything himself.
It would be best to find a girl; girls are more meticulous.
"Eevee~"
Eevee obediently walked to the side and lay down, but also stopped sleeping, his long ears perked up, watching intently.
Smoochum seemed not to have been woken up by the noise but was woken up by hunger.
Upon waking up, it pulled Dak to help pick fruits. Dak told it to find Bon Clay or Darkrai for help; they could fly, making picking fruits easy.
Rockruff acted as a bodyguard, circling around the eggs as if protecting them.
Pawniard remained by the lake, staring at his reflection on the water surface, lost in thought.
Dedenne was a skilled tree climber, easily climbing up a five-meter-tall tree, holding a Nanab Berry to munch on, making Smoochum drool, hugging the tree trunk in desperation.
Vulpix, upon waking up, started licking its fur, straightening out the fur that had been flattened while sleeping, truly a little girl who loves beauty.
In no time, the nine eggs began to deform one by one.
Nine new Pokémon appeared in front of Dak and the others.
Bon Clay and Darkrai had already been excitedly standing by, only Dak was relatively calm watching this scene.
The first to catch Dak's eye was a fluffy big dog.
A Growlithe, about 0.4m tall!
It was the little one that hatched from the purple quality egg.
As soon as it came out of the egg, it ran around the grassland full of energy, even jumping over to knock Dak down and licking his face with its tongue.
"Okay, okay."
Dak's entire face was wet and uncomfortable, and he quickly pushed the little Growlithe away.
He could almost predict that this little thing would be the most troublesome, its vitality was too abundant.
The remaining eight were:
A lazy-looking Krabby, which stood still with its eyes closed upon arrival, not moving.
An Eevee, unlike the previous shy and gentle one, this one was bold and confident, apparently a boy.
A common Magikarp, placed into the lake.
A common Feebas, placed into the lake.
A dazed-looking Rowlet.
A defiant-looking Scraggy, who seemed to challenge anyone.
A somewhat odd Ditto.
And the last, a Miltank.
