Not a Trainer This Time

Passing through the back door, an area enclosed with a transparent glass cover appeared in front.

It's a bit like the backyard of Dr. Ohki's research institute in the anime, with rivers, meadows, trees, caves, lakes and everything.

Some captive-bred Pokémon run carefree here or sit in the shade of a tree.

Naoki's gaze swept over them, silently reciting the names of those Pokémon in his heart: "Big milk jar, pigtailed sheep, mini fu, salt stone treasure, salt stone giant spirit, frost milk fairy..."

Without a doubt, these are Pokémon that can be raised on the ranch. The

kind-faced, white-sideburned old man was a little hunched, he put his hands behind his back, and while leading the way in front, he introduced Naoki to the Pokémon and ordinary animals in this happy ranch.

"I raised these children with my own hands, and each of them is very healthy and well-behaved, looking forward to being brought back to the ranch by their new owners."

Sure enough, those playful Pokémon saw Naoki following behind the old man and cast curious eyes one after another.

Naoki looked at the group of salt stone treasures around the salt stone giant spirit with some surprise, and couldn't help but ask, "Can the salt stone treasure also be raised?"

"Of course!" The old man said with a smile: "Don't underestimate them, in ancient times, they were very important Pokémon, and for the human beings living on this land, these children are indispensable existences."

Naoki recalled the characteristics of the salt stone treasure and asked, "Because it can produce salt?"

"That's right!" The old man nodded: "The body of the salt stone treasure is composed of very precious rock salt, as long as they walk on the ground, their bodies will be worn by the ground, leaving a large number of salt traces."

"As long as these salts are collected, they can get a bottle of very precious rock salt, of course, this is not harmful to their bodies, as long as they want, the body can make new salt at any time to replenish." "When it evolves into the Salt Stone Barrier and the Salt Stone Giant Spirit,

those salts will also be more nutritious and rich in a variety of minerals, as long as the salt rubbed by the Salt Stone Giant Spirit is sprinkled on the injured Pokémon, no matter how many injuries can be healed!"

"And the dishes made with these salts will taste more delicious, and they will sell for much more than the moo milk produced by large milk tanks!"

Hearing this, Naoki was clear in his heart, and then asked the price of Shioshibao: "How much do they cost?"

Old man: "A salt stone treasure costs 10,000 Union coins." "

Ten thousand...

It sounds a little expensive, but Naoki calculated the value that Shioshibao could bring in his heart, and he couldn't help but feel that this price was very cheap.

With a salt stone treasure there, he can not buy salt from outside in the future, and in addition to his own use, he can also sell it to the outside world, and he will soon be able to return the capital.

But even so, this price is still a bit expensive for Naoki, who is currently struggling financially.

He smacked his tongue slightly in his heart, fumbled with the banknotes in his pocket and finally sighed.

Alas! Let's wait until this season's crops are ripe!

On the way, he can also go to the back mountain to try his luck and see if he can find some rare mountain goods to sell.

It's just that whether it's fishing or looking for mountain goods, it doesn't last, and it depends on luck.

Reality is not a game, the number of fish that inhabit a body of water is limited, and it will be difficult to catch fish from there after large-scale fishing.

Unless there is a different piece of water.

Naoki's mind came up with a map of the vicinity of the ranch.

To the west of the pasture, passing through the town of Jiqin, you will reach the endless Sea of Parthia, where there are more abundant seafood resources.

To the north of the pasture, over the back mountain and through a forest, you can reach the Lake Tai Cauldron, where more freshwater fish can be caught.

"It's just some time before the crops are ripe, so I can ask Oldon to take me to these two places."

Naoki pondered his next plan in his mind.

If he remembers correctly, there are very rare traces of Pokémon mini dragons on the other side of Cauldron Lake.

The Mini Dragon evolved Fast Dragon is smart and powerful.

When the farm prosperes later, it can also develop offline business, allowing people in the town to order fresh milk directly from the farm.

At that time, you can let the fast dragon help deliver it.

Led by the old man, Naoki walked around this ranch and also saw some very special Pokémon.

Examples include large milk tanks that produce milk, pigtailed sheep that burst their hair, mini fur that can produce olive oil, buzz bats that help pick tree fruits, and frost milk fairies that can produce fresh cream. The

whole body is made of cream, and the body exudes a sweet milk fragrance, which can make people feel a strong sense of happiness just by smelling it.

As he walked up to it, Naoki swallowed several times of saliva.

His movements were captured by the frosty fairy, and the cute little creature immediately shivered and hid behind a tree, looking afraid that he would be eaten later.

The old man laughed softly when he saw this scene, and he calmed the mood of the frost milk fairy: "Don't be afraid, this is the new rancher in the town."

Being appeased by the old man like this, the frost fairy's fear was much better.

The old man smiled and said to Naoki, "It's also a very special Pokémon!" At present, there are 63 confirmed forms of cream milk fairy, and each form produces a different cream taste.

For example, the cream made by this little guy is vanilla flavored, and there is also a cream milk fairy that can make creamy caramel flavored cream!

Naoki was hungry when he heard this.

After strolling around, the two returned to the front desk.

The old man took out a price list from the drawer and said, "Let's see what kind of animals and Pokémon you want to buy?"

Naoki looked down and saw that the price of each Pokémon was clearly marked on it. Common animals: Rooster 1000, hen 1200,

duck 1200

Pokémon: Three bees 1500, mini fufu 1500, frost milk fairy 1600, buzz bat 3000, pigtailed sheep 6000, big milk can 8000, salt stone treasure 10000 Feed: chicken feed 50/serving, cattle and sheep feed 100/serving,

sweet grain 100/serving, savory grain 100/portion Looking

at the price above, Naoki asked, "How much is a grain?"

"About a kilogram, these grains are made from tree fruit with table salt, flour, eggs and other materials, and one grain is enough for a Pokémon to eat for half a month."

The old man looked down at the above content and introduced in turn:

"Chicken feed is made of corn flour mixed with grain, one part can be eaten for a month, cattle and sheep feed is dry pasture, large milk cans and pigtailed sheep do not eat much, one half a month is about the same."

"As for the three bees and the buzz bat, they don't need you to provide food, as long as you give them a place to live, they will go out to feed themselves, and the buzz bat will bring you all kinds of fruits and tree fruits."

"Three bees are different from it, they live in a hive, and the prerequisite for raising them is that there is a flower field in the pasture."

"Once they have a flower field, they will go to the flower field every day to collect nectar and bring it back to the beehive to make it sweet."

Naoki nodded, knowing in his heart.

"I have about fourteen thousand five thousand left in my current deposit to buy ten hens and one rooster."

Naoki originally planned to do so, and he was going to keep the rest of the money to buy vegetables.

But now, looking at the Pokémon above, he decided to change his plans.

Reduce the number of hens and buy a cream milk fairy and mini fu first.

The Frosted Milk Fairy can produce cream, which can help him make grass cakes.

Mini Fu can produce olive oil, which can save him a lot of oil money.

Then there are 10,000 left. "Well, then buy three more

hens and a rooster, so that there are six thousand eight left, and buy four more parts of chicken feed, and three parts of sweet grain will be about the same."

The remaining 6300 are kept in case of emergency.

Thinking of this, Naoki made a decision: "I want to buy three hens and a rooster, a cream milk fairy and a mini fu."

The old man smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll ask people to help deliver these things to your ranch later."

Naoki: "The location is..."

He just wanted to say the detailed location of the ranch, but the old man shook his head: "No need, I know there."

Naoki was a little surprised: "Huh? A

wistful smile appeared on the old man's face: "I am friends with your grandfather, when he was still alive, I often visited him there, I still hugged you when you were a child, but you may not remember it now."

"So it is!" Naoki was abrupt.

Speaking of this, the old man squatted down, rummaged in the counter for a while, and finally took out a transparent glass jar.

He handed the glass jar over: "This is the rock salt produced by the salt stone giant spirit, bring it back and taste it!"

Naoki looked at the glass jar.

It was filled with jars of fine salt grains that were pink in color.

[Rock Salt: A top-quality seasoning produced at the fingertips of the Salt Stone Giant Spirit, rich in minerals and trace elements, with the magical ability to heal wounds.]

The Salt Stone Giant Spirit will scatter it on the injured Pokémon's body, and it only takes a moment for the Pokémon's injuries to heal.

Therefore, there will always be a large number of Pokémon gathered around the Salt Stone Giant Spirit in order to lick its mineral-rich salt.

It is a very precious seasoning and is very expensive, so adding it to a dish can add an additional effect of "physical recovery" to the dish.

"This... Too precious.

Naoki subconsciously shook his head.

The old man said peacefully: "It's okay, it should be a gift to celebrate the reoperation of the ranch, your grandfather died early, I have a good friendship with him, and it is also appropriate to help him take care of you."

The old man's attitude was very resolute.

At this time, it would not be appropriate for him to refuse again.

Naoki nodded and thanked him seriously.

Only then did a smile appear on the old man's face: "Naoki, right? Your grandpa would love to see the ranch return to its former prosperity, so come on! If you don't understand something, you can come here to me.

Naoki answered, said goodbye to the old man, turned and left the shop, riding Gu Raton directly back to the ranch. Soon after, a

round-faced girl about sixteen years old, with a double ponytail, freckles on her face, and big eyes, arrived at the ranch in a tricycle full of goods. She looked at Naoki,

who was waiting there, and asked timidly, "You are the newly moved rancher that grandpa said, Naoki-san, right?"

Naoki bowed his head slightly: "It's me."

The girl breathed a sigh of relief, parked the tricycle on the grass, and then gently clapped her hands, and two small Pokémon with petite bodies and cute appearances appeared on the box.

On the left is a Pokémon with a pale pink body, sweet cream all over its body, and two strawberry-like things on its head.

On the right is a Pokémon shaped like an olive.

It has a tender green body with several green leaves on its head and a petiole above its face. A yellow fruit grows in the middle of the leaf.

The two of them only showed half of their heads, and looked at Naoki not far away with some fear and worry.

Seeing this scene, the girl said: "Don't worry, Mr. Naoki is a kind person, he will definitely take good care of you!"

"Ma... Ma..."

"Fufu..."

The two little ones were still a little scared.

It just seems that it is not Naoki, but the large monster that squats beside him with a scarlet body and a hideous appearance (in the eyes of Frost Milk Fairy and Miniature).

Seeing this scene, the girl was embarrassed: "I'm really sorry, Mr. Naoki."

Naoki: "..."

He followed the gazes of Frost Milk Fairy and Miniature, saw Gu Raton beside him, and immediately understood what they were afraid of.

With a light cough, Naoki decided to send Goreton to do something else: "Guleton, you go see where the motorcycle lizard has gone, and call it home to meet his new partner." The

moto lizard was happily fluttering butterflies in the grass on the other side of the ranch, and Naoki knew about it, but it didn't stop him from sending Gu Lerton out to find it.

"Gaa So Ledon obediently turned around and went to find the motorized lizard.

Seeing it leave, the Frost Milk Fairy and the Miniature Fu were visibly relieved.

"Fu..."

"Ma..." The

girl also finally understood what Frost Milk Fairy and Miniature Fu were afraid of.

Seeing the strange Pokémon leave, she encouraged loudly: "Go!"

Frost Milk Fairy and Miniature then jumped out of the car and carefully moved in front of Naoki.

In order not to bring them a sense of oppression, Naoki deliberately squatted down, reached out and touched the heads of the two Pokémon, and said: "Please take care, mini Fu, frost milk fairy!"

Pokémon are very simple and kind by nature, and when they feel the kindness expressed by the humans in front of them, their faces also show happy smiles.

The girl came up and said, "Please take care of them, Mr. Naoki!"

Naoki nodded, "I will."

The girl's gaze fell on Mini Fu and spoke: "By the way, Mr. Naoki, grandpa asked me to tell you one thing, the oil produced by Mini Fu before it evolved into Orinho is very bitter and unsuitable for consumption, and the oil can only become delicious after evolving into Orinho."

"This miniature has been hatching for almost a year, and it will soon be time for its evolution."

Naoki was slightly startled, then nodded, "I see."

The girl quietly breathed a sigh of relief, she turned around and moved several large boxes of feed from the tricycle, and finally put the cage containing three hens and a rooster on the ground.

"Excuse me, where is the chicken hut?"

"I'll do it!"

"Huh? Thank you! The girl quickly thanked her, and then moved a box of feed and followed.

It was difficult for a girl to carry such a large cage, so Naoki stepped forward and moved the cage to the chicken hut.

As soon as the door opened, the hens ran out stupidly, walking around the chicken hut, smelling the grass, looking down at the ground, as if to familiarize themselves with the environment.

The girl put the feed box on the ground, and Naoki opened the box and poured the feed inside from the feeding trough into the silo, so that the feed could be fed directly from the house later, which was very convenient.
