Chapter 112: Farm Steward
The light from the green grass field spread across the land, and the light spots quickly merged into the land where the mysterious seeds were buried like fireflies. If it were an ordinary plant, it would at least have broken through the soil and sprouted new buds after this combination of punches, but this mysterious seed did not move at all.
This surprised the other Pokémon, especially Asterix and Serpentine, who were well aware of the effects of the green grass field. The fruit trees were changing day by day under the cultivation of the green grass field. I'm afraid they will bear abundant fruits by the end of this month.
But when it comes to the mysterious seed that Luo Mu took out, it didn't even sprout under the effect of the green grass field, which was really outrageous.
Luo Mu was not sure whether the seeds were no longer active, or whether the energy required for germination and growth was simply higher than that of fruit trees. He did not know how long it would take him to study it himself, so he planned to ask the hacker directly -
"We agreed before that I can ask you any questions at the farm. Can this mysterious seed still be planted? If so, what conditions do I need to provide?"
Luo Mu asked the system in his mind.
[Ding! The seeds are active. Recommended planting methods: water and fertilize daily, use green grass for cultivation at least twice, frequently use tillage techniques to optimize the soil, and expose to sunlight for at least half an hour every day when they germinate after half a month]
"That helped me a lot, thank you."
[Hehe! (Akkiri)]
After the conversation, Luo Mu suddenly realized.
According to the system, as long as you do what you normally do, the seeds will be able to grow normally.
As for what kind of plant the seeds were, Luo Mu did not ask the system. It would be too boring to know everything. Life should leave some surprises or shocks for oneself.
Looking at the white fluffy ones who were hesitating whether to come to the green grass field again, Luo Mu smiled and said, "Just cultivate these seeds according to the normal process. It will sprout in about half a month. Don't worry too much."
Several grass-type Pokémon led by Serpentine nodded doubtfully. Since Luo Mu said so, they had no choice but to believe it.
The next day, Luo Mu went to the fields early in the morning to do farm work. With the nourishment of the green grass, the crops grew very well.
Especially the wheat field, which is now green and looks very relaxing. It will reach the heading stage in a while. Once it reaches the heading stage, it will not take long to harvest a large area of golden wheat.
Grinding it into flour can make pasta, or it can be fermented into wine through the ability of the paparazzi bag. Then the Pokémon on the farm will be able to enjoy food with different flavors.
After the farming area got on track, Luo Mu's work was actually several times easier than before when he had to work all day. He only had to clear the weeds growing in the land and check for pests or wild Pokémon coming to eat at the buffet, and he was basically done by around nine in the morning.
All this is thanks to the Pokémon that are starting to increase in number on the farm, but in a sense, the things that need to be done have not disappeared, they have just moved to other places.
There are now a total of 19 Pokémon officially included in the farm. Not to mention the Moltres who eats and drinks for free. Although Rhynchos has been temporarily captured by Luo Mu with a Poké Ball, it is currently in the stage of treating psychological trauma. It is not ruled out that Rhynchos may choose to return to the wild after the treatment.
That is to say, apart from occasionally being lazy and providing ready-made Pokémon food, Luo Mu has to prepare three meals for 21 Pokémon and his own three meals. If it were a human employee, it would be fine, just cook a big pot and be done, but the farm includes different Pokémon with different habits and eating habits, and providing them with suitable meals is not an easy job.
Luo Mu clearly remembers the food preferences of each Pokémon, and daily energy intake is essential for improving the strength of Pokémon.
Just like the main team's several Pokémon are already at their peak, they don't need to consume a lot of food to improve themselves like the growing Growlithe. While maintaining their strength, we also need to consider how to help them go further.
As for the reason why Moltres eats so much, Luo Mu has some guesses. Normally, Moltres absorbs fire energy from deep inside the volcano, but after it came to this farm, as a legendary Pokémon, in order to maintain its bottomless physical strength, it must eat a lot.
The method to reduce the food intake of Moltres is also very simple. Just let it eat high-energy food or take a few laps around the volcano.
Luo Mu plans to let Moltres take him to the volcano where it lives when he has the chance. If there is a chance, he might be able to find a Fire Stone of good quality and color near the volcano to prepare for the evolution of Growlithe.
For the sake of her beloved son, I think Moltres would definitely be willing to do so.
From 9:30 onwards, Luo Mu started preparing lunch for the Pokémon. Even though he had to leave some physically and mentally demanding tasks like preparing the food to Azure Blade Demon, he only managed to prepare lunch for all the Pokémon before 11:30.
Although it was hard work, when he saw the reserved main team members salivating over the delicious food he had prepared, and the Pokémon working on the farm showing happy expressions as they ate with their mouths full of oil, he felt from the bottom of his heart that his efforts were worth it.
While eating the egg noodles he had casually prepared, Luo Mu was lost in thought.
If there is a chance, it would be better to find a suitable housekeeper for the farm, who can act as his assistant and help him share some of the big and small chores on the farm.
The person who is suitable for this role has already been outlined in his mind.
Pokémon such as Dinosaur, Enchantress, Almost, and Happiny are all suitable Pokémon for this job.
In the afternoon, Papa and Nimo arrived as promised. They rudely woke up Luo Mu, who was lying on a recliner enjoying the afternoon sun and had fallen into a light sleep.
When Luo Mu yawned and opened his hazy eyes, he realized that it was already three o'clock in the afternoon after hearing the helpless explanations from Nemo and Papa. Even Papa and Nemo had arrived here from the Orange Academy in Zhuotai City.
Luo Mu woke up instantly and turned over quickly. He said calmly, "Ahem, you guys came quite quickly. Without further ado, I will directly announce the content of today's special training."
Papa already knew Luo Mu's personality and was not surprised at all by his lazy look.
On the contrary, because of the existence of the adoration filter, Nimo is now wondering if Luo Mu has been busy with something important until now, which is why he is so tired.
She looked at Luo Mu worriedly, feeling somewhat guilty for adding too much burden to Luo Mu.
