Not a trainer this time.

Chapter 6 The First Money Made
black truffles...

Maybe it was because of the lack of money, which caused Naoki's first thought when he saw this thing to be: the price of this thing should be very expensive, right?
But soon, he noticed the buff effect behind.

[Although it does not have any gain effect, it can greatly improve the effect of cooking. ]
What's this?Advanced synthetic materials?

Regarding this point, Naoki can vaguely judge based on the settings in the previous game.

In that game, there are also ingredients of this type.

Adding it to cooking can not only change the effect of lv1 to lv3, but also change the short-term buff into a permanent buff.

In this way, the preciousness of black truffles has risen to another level.

Good stuff!

Naoki carefully dug out a whole piece of black truffle.

Seeing his movement, the motorcycle lizard also fell on the side, as if he didn't dare to show his anger, until the truffle as big as a palm was put into the backpack by Naoki, it looked up and said puzzledly: "Gah! ?”

"This is a great thing that can improve our quality of life!"

Naoki smiled and said to the motorcycle lizard, he weighed it in his hand, and felt that this piece of black truffle was about one kilogram.

As a layman, he doesn't know the price of black truffles, but based on the shape and size of this black truffle, he can also feel that its price will not be low.

Looking up at the sky, seeing that it was getting late, Naoki rode on the motorcycle lizard and let it lead him towards the pasture.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Zhishu had just returned to the ranch and was about to pour a glass of water for a drink when he heard a whistle outside.

"Drip drip!"

He walked out the door and saw a van with the Splash logo driving in from outside.

The driver, a strong man with a muscular arm and a cropped head, stuck his head out of the car window and said enthusiastically:
"Are you Naoki, the new owner of this ranch? Mayor Thomas has already told me that I am Zach from the Zuqin Market, and I am responsible for purchasing goods from nearby ranches. Please take care of me in the future!"

"Hello, Mr. Zach." Naoki greeted politely.

Zach turned off the engine of the truck and jumped down from it. He looked around and saw the farmland not far away. He grinned and said, "It seems that you have successfully started the work of the ranch! What do you want?" Anything for sale?"

Zach just asked casually. He knew very well that it was impossible for a novice rancher to sell mature crops and wool milk.

After all, the development of a ranch takes time.

But in the next second, he saw that the new rancher pulled out a large black thing out of nowhere.

The well-informed Zach recognized the name of the thing at a glance.

He opened his eyes wide and said in surprise, "Black truffle? Wow! Black truffles of this size are very rare. Where did you find it?!"

"Houshan." Naoki asked, "Can it be sold?"

Zach nodded quickly: "Of course, the price of this thing is very exaggerated! A normal-quality black truffle is about [-] Union coins a catty, and the quality and specifications of the black truffle in your hand are almost top-quality. Black truffles of this quality are hard to find in the market, and the price is about [-] union currency per catty."

That unique taste has been sought after by many people, especially the upper-class people among the rich and noble.

They are not short of money.

Fifteen thousand pounds?
Zhishu's heart moved, that is to say, the black truffle in his hand is worth a total of [-] alliance coins?

For this price, Naoki couldn't help but feel a little moved.

Want to sell?
This level of rare ingredients used for cooking can bring great improvements to Pokémon.

Can……

If he sold it, he would have enough money to buy seeds, improve pastures, and prepare food.

For a moment, Naoki fell into hesitation.

But soon, he made a decision.

Take a long-term view. Even though black truffle can improve the cooking effect, if it is exchanged for cash, it can speed up the development of the ranch and make more money.

When the ranch develops, he can use the money to buy other top-quality ingredients with the same effect.

Thinking of this, Naoki no longer hesitated, and simply chose to sell.

Seeing this, Zach took a weight from the car to measure, then pointed to the marking on it and said to him: "One kilogram and one hundred grams."

He took out his calculator and notebook again, used them for a short calculation, and finally said: "The total is [-] alliance coins."

"Okay." Naoki nodded.

"Then I'll take this black truffle away!" Zach said while taking out a stack of money from his wallet and handing it over.

Naoki reached out to take it, counted it carefully, and then heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.

Earn your first cash as a rancher!He can finally stop eating tasteless hot noodle soup!

Zach had to go to other ranches to receive the goods. Before leaving, he looked around the entire ranch and suggested:
"In addition to growing crops and raising Pokémon, there are many ways to make money. Have you ever been to Zheqin Town? If you go there, you must remember to go to the grocery store to buy a fishing rod. During the period when the crops are growing, You can make money fishing."

"Ah, but you don't have to worry, it's very difficult at the beginning, and it will be much better in summer. At that time, in addition to common crops, you can also grow hops to make wine. Beer full of idyllic flavor is very popular in big cities." Welcome!"

Hops?
Hearing this familiar name suddenly, Naoki raised his eyebrows.

However, what he thought of was not the brewing process, but the beer brewed by him. I am afraid that it will have some strange effects just like cooking...

Naoki thought so in his heart, nodded his face, and said to Zach: "I remember, thank you very much."

Zach smiled heartily: "Come on!"

After speaking, he bid farewell to Naoki and left here in a large truck.

Naoki returned to the wooden house and looked at the small piece of black truffle left on the table—it was accidentally broken when he was digging.

"The price of black truffles is so expensive. I don't know if the fragrant dolphins are raised, can they help dig out the truffles hidden in the ground..."

Naoki pondered slightly.

He is going to keep this small piece of black truffle well. When he makes the desired dish later, he will add black truffle to it to strengthen the effect of the dish.

As for now...

Looking at the thick stack of alliance coins in his hand, Naoki was in a good mood.

It's time to go shopping in the town, buy new ingredients and come back to cook!

Naoki rode the motorcycle lizard, and after pointing out the direction, the motorcycle lizard ran towards the destination.

Naoki sat on it, looked at the sky dyed red by the sunset, and hummed softly in his mouth: "Ride on my beloved little motorcycle~"

"Gah?"

Motor Lizard looks puzzled, beloved little Motor, are you talking about it?
