Monster Hunter: Farm Story Begins with Pokémon

Chapter 224: Preparing for Brewing (5k, 3.1st supplement)
Jewelry beads open.

In other words, the strength of Bai Zhen's armor can be greatly improved.

This can be regarded as directly strengthening his personal ability.

Bai Zhen closed his eyes and felt the information conveyed by all the armor and weapons.

Different from fighting, you can use your mental power to condense the crossbow bullets.

Bai Zhen needs to obtain the jewelry beads himself. After obtaining them, just let the whole armor swallow them up. After that, Bai Zhen can embed the jewelry beads on the armor at will. There is no complete binding relationship.

Also about slots.

The number of slots for all armor and all weapons will increase as the level increases.

For example, the deformed ice shark armor currently only has 4 holes at Lv.5.

Jewelry beads are divided into grades.

After saying that, Bai Zhen took out the egg-sized Aiki bead from the full armor and asked the other party.

"Of course there is."

"It's just right for me."

Aiki skills may be nothing to ordinary hunters.

[Unlock Aiki Beads Lv.3×1]

Ancient dragons are rare, and it is normal to not know the knife pattern.

If coupled with his characteristic Elf Guardian, he might be able to reduce the damage by 60% in that second.

This bead seems to be a very precious bead, right?
And if you want to forge it, you may need the materials of the ancient dragon species.

"That really helped."

Dao Wen nodded and said: "I only have these beads here now. If you have any extra monster materials in the future, you can give them to the processing workshop for forging. I will make jewelry beads that you are satisfied with."

[Unlock Ice Pearl Lv.1×5]

At that time, I thought this grass was of some use, so I didn’t destroy it.

Lv.1 jewelry beads will use 1 hole, which will improve the corresponding skills of the equipment at level 1. Lv.2 jewelry beads will use 2 holes, and will improve the corresponding skills of the equipment at level 2, and so on.

3. [Attack Lv.5: Attack power becomes 1.06 times, attack power +8]

Dao Wen nodded affirmatively.

Charcoal grass is a special plant created from the drops of the Red Lotus Armor Rider when Bai Zhen first created the earth grass.

When Bai Zhen saw the jewelry beads given by Dao Wen, he looked at the Level 5 Aiki Bead with some surprise.

But for Bai Zhen, who has all the weapons, it is of great use.

Bai Zhen inlaid Aiki Beads Lv. 3 and 2 Attack Beads Lv. 1 into the armor.

Opening his eyes, Bai Zhen swallowed up all the jewelry beads given by Dao Wen.

When dealing with some powerful monsters, this move can be regarded as a magical skill, the kind that can save lives.

After thanking Dao Wen again, Dao Wen talked about other things.

All weapons can be switched every ten seconds. If Bai Zhen switches weapons when the time is up, it will be equivalent to a 30% damage reduction for one second every ten seconds.

"Do you still have the charcoal grass you sent last time?"

Dao Wen asked: "How? Are these beads useful for your armor and weapons?"

"Your plants burn longer than ordinary wood, and the temperature is also higher. Yanhuo Village especially needs such plants. I can harvest as many as you plant."

[Unlock attack beads Lv.1×2]

After Bai Zhenyan finished, he directly released his transformed ice shark armor and weapons.

"Master Dao Wen, what material did you use to forge this jewelry bead?"

4. [Ice Resistance Lv.2: Can resist higher ice damage]

Daowen shook his head and replied honestly: "Unfortunately, I don't know what the material is. It was a material I picked up when I went out hunting."

2. [Ice attribute attack enhancement Lv.2: increased ice damage of weapons]

[Unlock Defense Beads Lv.1×2]

Dao Wen continued: "The ability of this jewelry bead is to reduce a certain amount of damage in a short period of time when retracting and releasing the weapon. Generally, hunters cannot use this jewelry bead, but it should be just right for you."

Bai Zhen swallowed the Aiki Bead back again.

6. [Aiki Level 3: With a unique breathing method, when switching weapons, you will gain 1 second, 30% damage reduction. 】

1.【防御Lv.4：装备防御变为1.05倍，物防+10，特防+15】

Now the skill of Transforming Ice Shark Armor has changed.

There is only one way to obtain jewelry beads, which is to find rough stones and then use monster materials to forge them.

"It's not readily available, but I can grow it. Is charcoal grass useful?"

5. [Ice Armor Lv.Max: Within ten minutes, the armor will be activated, double defense will be increased by 1 level, and ice damage will be slightly increased (cooling time is 6 hours)]

"Okay, then I will grow some high-grade charcoal grass and send it to you."

Bai Zhen also didn't expect that the charcoal grass he created casually would be so popular in Yanhuo Village.

"Then please."

There are nothing more than three elements in forging, material, flame and craftsman.

The hot flame can bring more convenience to the forging process.

Speaking of charcoal grass, Bai Zhen suddenly had another whim.

Fire is one of the important factors in forging weapons and armor.

If I later fuse the mud from the heavy mud draft horse, can I create charcoal grass that can burn ground-based flames?
If this kind of flame is used to forge ground-based metal equipment, will the ground-based attributes of the weapon be more abundant?
Bai Zhen thought about it for a while and felt like he could really give it a try.

After bidding farewell to Dao Wen and Dao Wen, Bai Zhen went straight to the farm.

As soon as he arrived at the door of his home, Bai Zhen discovered that Rodna had come to visit him.

On the bench outside the house, Huo Ya, dressed in a maid uniform, brought a cup of tea to the guests.

Huo Ya's hair was tied up high today, and the pale white hairpin that Bai Zhen gave her last night was inserted into the back of her head.

At this moment, Huo Ya looked dignified, gentle and majestic.

Seeing Bai Zhen coming back, Rodna stood up and said hello to Bai Zhen: "Excuse me, Your Excellency Bai Zhen, because I happened to pass by you in the afternoon, so I came over without permission to disturb you."

Bai Zhen shook his head and said indifferently: "It doesn't matter. I also said in the morning that you can come over at any time."

Huo Ya said: "Welcome back, can we have tea?"

Bai Zhen nodded: "Then it's up to you. In addition, please wash out some of the grapes just harvested today."

"Okay~"

Huo Ya turned around and returned home, where Bai Zhen and Rodna sat down apart from each other.

As soon as she sat down, Rodna said with emotion: "I heard from the porter at the dock this morning that Your Excellency recruited Miss Huoya to your farm to be the waitress. I didn't believe it at first, but I didn't expect that you would actually recruit her. Miss Huo Ya has been recruited here."

"Haha." Bai Zhen smiled and said, "I'm just lucky, and I'm really grateful to Huo Ya. I can't manage such a big farm by myself."

"That's not luck, but real strength." Rodna would not simply believe Bai Zhen's words. She said, "You may have just come to Yanhuo Village and don't know that many people in our kingdom are Fire Buds." Miss Huo Ya’s suitors, almost everyone who has been to Yanhuo Village, fell in love with Miss Huo Ya at first sight.”

"I heard Dao Kui say before that Huo Ya has hundreds of suitors."

"Hundreds? How can it be so few? I estimate there are thousands of people. Moreover, there are many nobles in our country who want to recruit Miss Huoya. Of course, there are also people who want to marry Miss Huoya. But now it seems, Those guys have no chance at all."

Bai Zhen expected Huo Ya to be popular.

Rodna thought of something and said, "Speaking of which, Miss Huo Ya's clothes look like the attire of a palace maid. I didn't expect that those clothes would look so elegant on Miss Huo Ya."

There are no maid uniforms in Yanhuo Village, but there are still some in the kingdom, but the maid uniforms in the two worlds are slightly different.

Hearing Rodna praise Huo Ya so much, Bai Zhen also felt happy.

After chatting for a while, Rodna looked at Bai Zhen's flower field and asked Bai Zhen: "Your Excellency Bai Zhen, I wonder if you can let me bring some honey flowers back to the capital? Of course I can pay a large sum of money."

When she came to the farm and saw the honey flowers, Rodna knew how the high-grade honey was brewed.

The honey flowers looked to be of better quality than any she had seen so far.

Only such honey flowers can produce such expensive honey.

"You can sell the seeds, but I have to tell you in advance that honey flowers of this quality are very difficult to cultivate. They are very picky about soil and nutrients."

"Of course I know this. The growth requirements for honey flowers of this quality are naturally high, and I am mentally prepared."

Bai Zhen: "Since you are mentally prepared, I can sell it to you. You can set a price."

Rodna did some calculations and said: "How about honey flower seeds of this quality, plus planting methods and beekeeping methods, a total of 100 million gold?"

"Three million gold, not even a penny less." Bai Zhen directly offered 300 million.

Level 6 honey is very valuable. If Rodna cultivates 300 kilograms of honey for 2000 million gold, she can get her money back. This is a real expensive thing.

Rodna hesitated for a long time when she heard Bai Zhen's offer.

300 million can obtain a technology and take away such high-quality honey flowers. Although the return of this transaction is slow, as long as it succeeds, it will be a huge profit.

In the end, Rodna agreed: "Deal, then the price will be 300 million gold."

"It's a pleasure to cooperate." Bai Zhen earned another large amount of money. Bai Zhen, who had almost used up all his money in the past few days, now has a lot of blood coming back.

As for selling honey flowers and technology, Bai Zhen is not worried at all whether the other party will occupy the market and cause the price of honey to drop or become unsalable.

Lv.6 honey flowers are extremely difficult to grow, and it can almost be said that there is no need for Xie Mi to help take care of them every day.

These honey flowers are probably less than half wilted.

And without the plow transformed by the universal tool and the nutrient water purified by the universal tool, it would be difficult for honey flowers of this level to grow.

In addition, beekeeping is not that simple. Without the special cooking bonus of Xie Mi and bees, the honey can only be harvested almost every six months, and it is impossible for the other party to grow it in a short time.

Even if it is planted in the future, your honey level will probably reach Lv.10.

Richen Farm and other farms are not on the same track at all.

As soon as Bai Zhen finished chatting with Rodna, Huo Ya came out with the grapes just harvested today.

"These are the grapes just harvested today, have a taste."

"These grapes look so small." Rodna was surprised when she looked at the black grapes in her hand.

Monster Hunter World is not without grapes, but the grapes here are twice as big as ordinary grapes.

Rodna tasted one and her eyes lit up slightly.

"So sweet! Is this also a species unique to another world?"

"Yes, it took a lot of time. It has just matured today and the harvest has just been completed."

Rodna asked expectantly: "Is this for sale?"

If these grapes are brought back to China, they will definitely sell well.

"It's okay to sell it, but it's not easy to transport and the cost is very high."

Rodna patted her head in annoyance. She actually forgot that transportation was the biggest problem.

Rodna thought for a moment and thought of something. She said: "Grapes cannot be shipped back to China, but wine can!"

"Wine? Does anyone in the kingdom make wine?"

"Of course! In addition to wine, the Kingdom also has alcoholic beverages such as whiskey, vodka, and beer."

Bai Zhen was stunned when he heard this.

Whiskey and vodka are both made from wheat and barley.

So there is no wheat and barley in Yanhuo Village, but the Kingdom has wheat and barley?
"The kingdom also has wheat and barley?"

"Of course." Rodna nodded affirmatively, "The kingdom's wheat and barley planting area is still very large."

Bai Zhen thought for a moment.

There is also wine in Yanhuo Village, but the villagers drink sake, which is brewed from rice and Yanhuo water.

The flavor is somewhat different from that of whiskey.

"Do you have kingdom wine on your ship? For example, red wine, whiskey, etc."

"Yes, please wait a moment, I will go to the boat to get it for you."

Every time they go out, the crew will bring some wine on board to drink, so there is still some stock on the ship.

Bai Zhen asked Da Wan to accompany Rodna on a run.

Rodna came back soon with three cans of wine, and she also brought the 300 million gold she had just promised to Bai Zhen.

The wine is contained in a ceramic jar with a narrow mouth, and an oak stopper is plugged into the mouth of the jar.

Rodna introduced: "Here is a jar of whiskey, a jar of wine, and a jar of vodka."

Huo Ya helped get two wine glasses from home.

Bai Zhen uncorked the bottle, smelled it, poured it into a cup and took a sip.

Rodna looked at Bai Zhen expectantly and asked, "How does it taste? This quality is considered top-notch in the kingdom."

Bai Zhen was silent.

Even if he seldom drinks alcohol, he can taste the good and bad.

All three wines were absolutely terrible!
Let’s talk about vodka first. Vodka is distilled from wheat. Logically speaking, vodka should be extremely clear, but in the vodka Rodna brought, you can clearly see some sediment floating in the wine.

Not to mention the wine. Although you can taste some unique flavors from it, the overall taste is very bland and not delicious.

Whiskey is similar. It may be because the craftsmanship is not up to standard, resulting in a huge difference in taste.

In addition, and most importantly, Rodna and the others used ceramic jars to store their wine, which were no better sealed than thick glass bottles.

Because the wine was not tightly sealed in the ceramic jar, Bai Zhen took a sip of the wine and felt a slight bitter taste from it, which was a sign of spoilage.

Bai Zhen sighed and said to Rodna honestly: "To be honest, the taste of this wine is not very good. How does the wine that the royal family members drink compare with this?"

Rodna did not expect Bai Zhen to say that the wine was not good to drink. If an ordinary person, Rodna would have said that the other person did not understand wine.

But Bai Zhen is from another world, and Bai Zhen's actions when tasting wine just now looked very professional.

This also made Rodna believe what Bai Zhen said.

Rodna replied: "The royal family must drink better than this."

"To what extent?"

"This is actually quite subjective, but I was lucky enough to drink it when I attended a royal dinner. There must be a significant difference in taste."

Rodna said that there was an obvious difference, but in fact the quality was not much better. It was probably at most the same as the commercially available wines in the Pokémon world.

But it’s no wonder.

Wine is a test of craftsmanship.

Just like when I see ancient poems mentioning so and so many times how delicious their wine is.

What should only be found in the sky, it is something that can be boasted to the sky.

But in fact, the quality is not as good as modern wine, and this is the same reason.

In addition, everyone uses ceramic jars to store wine, which will also affect the flavor of those wines.

Bai Zhen said: "If I make wine, will the kingdom buy it?"

"Does Your Excellency Bai Zhen plan to make wine?"

“I grow these grapes to make wine.”

Bai Zhen planted grapes in the first place because high-quality wine was particularly popular in the Padia region.

And in addition to wine, he also has such high-grade wheat, which can be used to make whiskey, vodka, and even the simplest beer.

He has unlocked the raw materials for these wines, and now he just wants to see how to make the best wine.

"Great! If it is made from this grape, the wine will definitely be very delicious. And if it is a high-quality wine, I think the royal family and nobles of the kingdom will definitely buy it!"

Rodna seemed to see a lot of hunter gold waving to her.

"Since someone buys it, I will expand the scale of manufacturing." Bai Zhen secretly decided to expand the size of the vineyards and wheat fields in the next two days.

Bai Zhen drank the remaining red wine in the glass.

Bai Zhen asked Rodna: "Speaking of which, what barrel was your wine made from? Is there anything special about it?"

Rodna looked at Bai Zhen in surprise and asked, "Can you drink this?"

"When you drink it, the taste is quite special. It's not the taste that comes with the wine."

"Your Excellency Bai Zhen is really amazing. You can actually taste it as soon as you drink it. This is indeed not brewed in ordinary oak barrels. It is brewed in oak barrels charred by fire dragon breath. It will have a unique taste when you drink it."

"Fire dragon breath charred oak barrels? Do you sell this kind of oak barrels?"

Oak barrels can be used to make wine and whiskey, and they are one of the most important materials.

"That kind of oak barrel is still hard to find. If you want it, I can bring it to you next time I come here."

The next time Rodna comes will be half a month later.

There will be some delays in time.

"Forget it then, I'll think of other ways."

Bai Zhen thought that he still had an exclusive refresh of the Barbarian Jaw Dragon, which was useless.

I don’t know if oak barrels burned with the flames of the Barbarian Jaw Dragon will have the same effect as the fire dragon’s breath?
