Monster Hunter: Farm Story Begins with Pokémon

Chapter 41 Planning
  Over there, Xie Mi is giving birth to flowers.

Bai Zhen was not idle either.

He began by clearing the ground in front of his land.

Of the four acres of land, Bai Zhen plans to use two acres to plant flowers and keep bees.

For the remaining two acres, it was decided to plant half an acre with medicinal herbs, half an acre with gunpowder grass, half an acre with waterweed, and the remaining half acre with improved crops such as green bear potatoes and sickle cucumbers.

For the half acre of flowing water grass, he also had to dig a channel to create the environment needed for the growing of running water grass.

After Bai Zhen used all-purpose tools to cultivate four acres of land, it was already 12 noon.

If it weren't for the multi-purpose tool's 100% labor-saving bonus, it would have taken him at least four or five days to cultivate that much land.

In the morning, Bai Zhen didn't see Huo Ya. It seemed that he was busy with work and couldn't get away.

Xie Mi over there also gave birth to a Level 4 honey flower after working hard.

When Bai Zhen got the honey flower, the success rate of upgrading was only less than 30%.

When level 3 was upgraded to level 4, the success rate was still 50%.

After Bai Zhen got the flower, he carried out fusion and upgrade, and finally got a level 5 honey flower when his mental power was about to be exhausted.

Asking Xie Mi to plant it, Bai Zhen quickly ate a portion of mashed potatoes to relieve his mental load.

After making a simple lunch at noon, the Pokémon Express arrived at 1 p.m.

The delivery person was a fast dragon, which handed 12 beehives and 100 glass bottles to Bai Zhen, who signed for them and flew away immediately.

Looking at the fast-flying dragon, Bai Zhen was a little envious. It would be great if he could find a Pokémon to travel as soon as possible.

Just when Bai Zhen was thinking this, Pachi, who had not replied to his message yesterday, sent a message.

Bai Zhen glanced at it and was disappointed.

The content of Patch's text message was very simple, that is, he didn't know how to transform Pronglum into a vehicle, but he could recommend some car dealers to Bai Zhen.

As long as you have money, you can buy any car.

Pronglum's hope of building a car was shattered, and Bai Zhen was not discouraged. He thought about other partners who could travel instead, or who could help farm the land and carry goods.

After thinking about it for a while, Bai Zhen really thought of a unique Pokémon - the heavy mud horse.

The Mud Horse is definitely one of the best among Pokémon in terms of endurance and strength.

According to research, a heavy mud draft horse can pull 10 tons of cargo on a mountain road for three days and three nights without rest.

The fighting power is also very high. It is said that a powerful individual can turn a large truck into scrap metal with just one kick.

The most important thing is that the heavy mud draft horse has the [Plowing Land] move. This skill is similar to the 1000% production attribute of the universal tool, which can speed up the growth of crops.

Bai Zhen called Tan Xiaoshi and asked: "Is there a Pokémon like Heavy Mud Horse on the island?"

His private island is very large, and to be honest, he doesn't even know the ecology of all the Pokémon on the island.

Tan Xiaoshi nodded, indicating that he had indeed seen a herd of heavy mud draft horses before.

However, the opponent's ethnic group is located in a relatively deep part of the island. If we look for it today, we may not find it until night.

With Tan Xiaoshi's approval, Bai Zhen decided to set out tomorrow to collect a heavy mud draft horse for his farm.

After lunch, he continued back to the Monster Hunter World to get busy. Bai Zhen placed the twelve beehives he had purchased.

While waiting for Xie Mi to induce the birth of honey flowers.

Bai Zhen is going to deal with the nest spleen harvested yesterday first.

There are many ways to extract honey, and Bai Zhen chooses to use centrifugal method to extract honey.

He took out the design drawing and prepared to make a honey shaker by hand.

At this moment, there was a gentle knock on the door outside the house. Bai Zhen turned around and saw that it was Huo Ya and the vegetable seller Chun Cai who suddenly visited.

Huo Ya asked Bai Zhen, "Are you busy now?"

Bai Zhen put down the pen and paper in his hand and shook his head: "I'm not busy now. Did something happen to me?"

At this time, Chun Cai, who was behind Huo Ya, took two steps forward and said to Bai Zhen, "I have something to ask you for. The cucumbers and peanuts I bought from you yesterday have been sold out, so I came to buy from you." "They were sold out so quickly?"

Yesterday he sold 70 kilograms of cucumbers and 12 kilograms of peanuts.

So many vegetables were sold out in one day.

Haruna had long expected that these vegetables would be a big hit. She said: "After all, they are rare things from another world. It is normal for them to sell out so fast. Do you still have some stock here?"

"Of course, how many pounds do you plan to have?"

"300 kilograms of cucumbers and 1000 kilograms of peanuts. Are there that many?"

What Chun Cai wants in particular is peanuts, which are considered a very rare crop in Yanhuo Village.

"I have cucumbers, but as for peanuts, I only have 500 kilograms on hand now."

So far, peanuts have not been sold in the Padya area. They have matured twice since they were planted.

The total harvest of the two harvests was about 1000 kilograms. These peanuts were freely distributed to Oliva and the others, about 300 kilograms, and now they still have 700 kilograms on hand.

It will take almost 4 days for the next ripening, including today.

"500 kilograms is enough!" Chun Cai was overjoyed. She didn't expect Bai Zhen to have so many peanuts.

"Then wait a moment and I'll get it for you."

"Let me help you." Huo Ya offered to help Bai Zhen.

Bai Zhen spent a little effort to bring up all the vegetables needed for spring vegetables.

After checking that the weight was correct, Haruna paid Bai Zhen 31000 in hunter gold.

After the payment was cleared, Chuncai hired workers to transport the vegetables.

Looking at the busy workers, Haruna said with emotion: "You live quite far away. If it can be delivered directly to your door in the future, I think I would be willing to pay more gold coins."

These villagers who moved the goods did not help for free, Haruna paid real money.

"Wait later. I'm going to get a new partner tomorrow. Once I have a new partner, the delivery work will be much easier."

Upon hearing that Bai Zhen planned to win over his new partner, Huo Ya looked at Bai Zhen, as if asking if he could take her with him.

It was naturally impossible for Bai Zhen to respond to Huo Ya in front of Haruna.

Haruna laughed loudly and said: "If you can deliver it to your door, you will really do me a big favor. After that, for every 100 kilograms delivered, I will pay you an extra 10 gold."

This price is naturally lower than the wages of porters. If Bai Zhen agrees, she will naturally be happy.

"Just do as you say."

"It was really fun for you to make the deal. I thought you were going to charge me more."

"Those are just small amounts of money. Everyone will be happy if they make money." Bai Zhenzhen doesn't care about those small amounts of money.

Haruna smiled. She looked back at the four acres of land that Bai Zhen had plowed, and curiously asked Baizhen: "What do you plan to use for growing these lands? If they are vegetables, I can buy them."

"I plan to use two acres to plant flowers, and the rest to plant some medicinal herbs, such as gunpowder."

"Plant flowers?" Chun Cai couldn't understand why Bai Zhen would plant those plants with little edible value. If you wanted flowers, couldn't you just go to the wild and pick them?

"I plan to keep bees to produce honey. I wonder if you can harvest the honey?"

No one in Yanhuo Village has ever kept bees. The land here is very precious. It is a luxury to grow flowers and raise bees.

“It doesn’t feel like the output will be very large.”

A bee hive in the wild can only harvest 5 to 7 pounds of honey.

It takes at least two months for a bee hive to complete nest building and reproduction, and it will take a long time to collect honey.

In her opinion, Baizhenhua's two acres of land to plant flowers and keep bees was simply a waste of natural resources.

Of course, she wouldn't educate Bai Zhen for this kind of thing, as long as she could get a steady supply of cucumbers and peanuts.

Chun Cai said: "I'm really sorry, my vegetable shop doesn't sell honey. If you have other vegetables to sell, you can come to me. I'll go back and guard my vegetable shop first. See you next time."
