Not a Trainer This Time Chapter 11

Chapter 11 Exclusive enhancement of green caterpillars

 New facilities in the pasture, fish pond +1!

 Looking at the carp swimming in the lake, Naoki felt the joy of a good harvest in his heart.

The fishing plan was disrupted by Gu Ledun. Zhi Shu looked up at the sky, estimated the time in his mind, and planned to return to the wooden house to see if the glutinous rice dumplings were steamed.

I picked up the iron bucket full of fish and just turned around when I saw the Motorized Lizard running over with a small yellow wild flower in its claws.

 “For me?” Naoki asked in surprise.

"Gah~" The Motorized Lizard nodded his head, with a naive smile on his face.

This guy is too cute, right? Naoki reached out to take the wild flower, looked at the petals on it, and thought to himself: Maybe this is why so many people like Pokémon?

They are simple, innocent, and kind. As long as you treat them well, most Pokémon will stay with you throughout your life, and they will even use their own lives to protect you.

Zhishu sighed in his heart, and at the same time reached out and touched the Motorized Lizard's head, then turned around and prepared to call Gu Ledun back.

 But Gu Lerton, who was watching fish here just a second ago, has disappeared.

Looking up, I saw Gu Ledun quickly weaving through a patch of vibrant grass. The butterflies in the grass were frightened and fled away into the distance.

 About a few minutes later, Guluton turned back.

It holds a handful of colorful flowers in its hand, including blueberries, tulips, and hyacinths.

Zhi Shu immediately guessed Guluton's thoughts, but having said that, Guluton should be regarded as the least qualified mythical beast, right?

After these two days of getting along with each other, its words and deeds did not look like a mythical beast at all. Instead, it was as childish and innocent as a primary school chicken.

 Hulden handed the flowers over: "Gah, ah, ah, ah!"

Zhishu sighed in his heart and reached out helplessly to take it.

He was just about to pick up the iron bucket, but he saw something wrong and put his head over.

 Naoki: “…”

 As expected, he looks like a childish primary school chicken.

He felt dumbfounded and touched Gulton's head.

 So Luton was satisfied.

 “Let's go!” Zhi Shu picked up the iron bucket, and Motor Lizard and Gulton followed him back to the wooden house.

 Put the iron bucket in the shade so that the fish will not be burned to death, and then hand it over to Zach when he comes to collect the goods at five o'clock in the afternoon.

Enter the house and checked that the glutinous rice dumplings were not yet cooked. Naoki sat at the desk and took out the account book and pen he had purchased at the grocery store.

 Keeping detailed records of daily expenses and income is something a qualified rancher must do.

 In this way, when the pasture becomes bigger in the future, your eyes will not be darkened.

 Lifting up the pen, Naoki calculated and wrote on it.

  Spring 198, January 5.

 Income: Black Truffle +33000

 Expenditure: Purchase of seeds, fishing rods, seasonings, ingredients -4190

  Remaining funds: 28810

  Spring 198, January 6.

 Income: Fish+

 Expenditure: 0

The fish hasn't been sold yet, and Zhi Shu doesn't know its selling price, so he left a blank at the end and plans to count it up in the evening.

In addition, Naoki also wrote on it the funds needed to expand the house and repair the Pokémon house and chicken house.

This makes it easier for him to check and at the same time provides him with motivation to work hard towards this goal.

 After writing down the accounts, Naoki stood up and checked the steamer.

This time, those glutinous rice dumplings are finally cooked.

 In the mist of steam, they look like white and tender fat dolls.

 When Naoki looked down, their information also emerged. Glutinous rice dumplings (B): A spring delicacy made of glutinous rice and red bean filling, very popular among young people.

 Cooking effect: Limited to Insect Pokémon, Worm Silk Strengthens Level 2, which moderately increases the toughness and strength of Worm Silk. If you add ingredients with attributes, the Pokémon you eat may have more changes...

Rating: Snow-white in appearance, glutinous and soft, sweet and delicate, fragrant and refreshing, with a hint of sweetness from red beans, it is a very good snack. ]

Um?

 Insect Pokémon limited enhancement?

 Looking at the words above, Zhi Shu suddenly became interested.

The white and tender glutinous rice dumplings are lying in the pot. Each one has the same strengthening effect, but there are differences in levels between them.

 There are level 1 enhancements and level 2 enhancements, with the highest being level 3 enhancements.

However, what piqued Naoki's interest was not the entry "restricted to insect-type Pokémon", but the following sentence "Ingredients with attributes".

If he remembered correctly, this kind of ingredient does not seem to exist in the Pokémon world.

 But in that garbage game, there are some.

For example, the Bingbing Fruit contains the power of ice, the Electric Lemon with electric properties, etc.

 But, can they be grown in this world?

Naoki subconsciously thought it was impossible, but he suddenly remembered the effect of a certain dish in the game.

It is a dish called "Grass Cake". After the little person trained by the player eats it, he is then placed in the player's farm to help him take care of the crops.

 Slight mutations will occur in crops taken care of by small hands.

For example, ordinary mushrooms become armored mushrooms, ordinary lemons become electric lemons, and ordinary apples become glowing apples.

 After feeding the apple to the villain, it will light up and turn into a big light bulb, which is equivalent to a free transmogrification.

So the question is, if he successfully makes "grass cake" and feeds it to Pokémon, can the Pokémon also have that magical ability?

 After thinking for a moment, Zhi Shu felt that it was feasible.

  But the key is that he, a technician, does not know the ingredients and detailed ingredients required for grass cake.

 How does Qingcao make a cake?

I'm afraid only the Pleasant Goats living in the Yang Village know about this...

 At that time, if you put the electric lemon into the glutinous rice dumplings, you might be able to make worm silk with enhanced electrical properties.

Green caterpillars using the power grid are no longer a dream.

 Thinking of this, Zhi Shu couldn't help but feel a surge in his heart.

“It seems necessary to try making grass cake next.”

 But not yet, the ranch is in its early stages, and no money can be wasted.

Keeping this in mind, Naoki placed the glutinous rice dumplings on a clean plate to cool down.

The Motorized Lizard looked at the glutinous rice dumplings on the plate curiously. Compared to it, Leden's interest seemed not that great.

Seeing the Motorized Lizard's appearance, Naoki warned: "It's hot now, and you can eat it after it cools down."

The Motorized Lizard is very obedient, and it will remain motionless until Naoki doesn't let it eat.

 Leaving most of it to Guluton and Motorized Lizard, Naoki took out a glutinous rice dumpling reinforced with lv3 worm silk.

 He remembered that there were green caterpillars in the back mountains.

He wanted to know what kind of changes a small glutinous rice dumpling could bring to the green caterpillar, and to what extent it could strengthen the silkworm threads.
