Chapter 16 A Visit to Jones Farm
Luo Mu remembered that after the Taicrystal Pearl completed a Taicrystalization, all the Taicrystal energy stored inside would be exhausted, making the trainer unable to use Taicrystalization a second time.

If you want to replenish Taijing energy, you have two options.

The first method is to go to the Pokémon Center in each town and use the supporting facilities invented by Orin and Dr. Fortu, the Taijing Energy Recharge Device, to recharge.

However, because the Taijing beads have not yet been fully mass-produced, the Taijing energy replenishment devices are only distributed in several large cities in the Padia area, and Pingdie Town is not included.

The second method is to find the rare Taijing crystals distributed in the vast land of Padya. When the Taijing beads come into contact with the Taijing crystals, the Taijing energy will automatically replenish the Taijing beads.

This method is much more realistic. Unfortunately, Luo Mu has not encountered any Taijing crystals near the farm, so he can only wait for a while before recharging.

Thinking of this, Luo Mu sighed and had to give up the idea of ​​figuring out the Taijing attributes of his other Pokémon except Swampert.

Roentgen Cat and Monarch Snake must be Taijingdian and Taijingcao. The only suspense is Azure Blade Demon, Mimikyuu and Dragonite.

Papa tugged at Luo Mu and asked curiously, "Can we plant crops and harvest food this way?"

Luo Mu pondered for a moment and said, "How should I put it? Generally speaking, as long as the land is well cultivated and the plants planted are not only suitable for planting in specific seasons and land environments, it will be fine."

"I have only a limited understanding of this aspect, and I haven't decided what plants to plant for the first time."

Papa was speechless. Even though he was only a ten-year-old kid, he could see how unreliable Luo Mu was. He seemed to have no professional knowledge related to planting and was almost a layman.

"Brother Luo Mu, you..."

Papa was silent for a long time, but didn't know what to say.

Luo Mu smiled and patted Papa's shoulders twice, causing him to stagger. He smiled mysteriously and said, "I know what you want to say. In fact, I am also very aware that I am an outsider. So, why don't we ask the professionals for advice?"

Piper rubbed her slightly sore shoulder and tilted her head.

Jones Farm is one of the largest sources of agricultural products for Pingdie Town. The various crops produced here will be distributed to the tables of people in the town and will even be transported to large cities in the Padya region for sale.

With such a huge sales channel, the company is naturally a major taxpayer in Pingdie Town and will receive preferential treatment from the town’s managers in various aspects.

Jones Farm is located a little further west of the land purchased by Luo Mu. It is also located on the outskirts of Pingdie Town and borders a part of wild land.

But whether it is the facilities or the professionalism of the staff here, it is something that Luo Mu's empty farm can only dream of.

It is early afternoon at the guardhouse outside the farm. Looking through the glass, I can see an old man lying leisurely on a recliner and sleeping soundly.

Luo Mu glanced at the ordinary watch on his wrist that he bought for a few hundred yuan, and confirmed that the time was already past 2 o'clock, the time for lunch break. He tapped the glass lightly with his fingers and said, "Uncle, please register the visitor."

The old man put a straw hat on his face, as if to block out the afternoon sunlight. After Luo Mu knocked three times again, he woke up slowly and looked at the person who came with sleepy eyes.

A young man and a child. And a dog?

This strange combination made the old man a little confused, but he still stood up dutifully, yawned, took out the registration form and asked, "Name?" Luo Mu smiled and said, "Luo Mu, I have made an appointment to visit before, please take a look."

Hearing this, the old man raised his head and looked at Luo Mu. His old fingers were not idle either, flipping through the papers. He picked up his reading glasses and put them on, then said happily, "Hey, it's true. We had an appointment at 2 o'clock this afternoon. It seems that I overslept."

"I'm sorry."

"It's okay." Luo Mu shook his head, indicating that he didn't take it to heart, and then reminded: "As agreed before, please help us contact a guide."

"No problem, no problem." The old man breathed a sigh of relief and replied repeatedly, and immediately picked up the landline to contact the inside. Suddenly, his fingers paused while entering the number, and he looked at Piper and Godfather Mastiff, hesitantly asking: "Who are they?"

Luo Mu glanced at Papa and Godfather Mastiff, then explained calmly, "These are my relative's children and Pokémon. They happen to have something to do and I want them to take care of them. Can you make an exception?"

The old man hesitated for a moment, but finally dialed the number.

After the call was connected, someone came over soon.

The man was in his early twenties, with a short shaved head, bright eyes, and an inexplicable sense of clarity.

He seemed to have just come down from the fields, with fresh, wet dirt still stuck to his trouser legs and a large straw hat on his back. He looked a bit like an enlarged version of the insect catcher that Luo Mu had seen in the game.

The young man smiled widely, took Luo Mu and the others over from the security guard, and led them into the gate of Jones Farm.

Jones Farm specializes in planting, producing all kinds of seasonal fresh fruits and vegetables according to the season. The farm is not large, only about half the size of the land purchased by Luo Mu.

However, Luo Mu also divided the land into areas, and in fact the farming area was much smaller than Jones Farm.

The young man gave a brief self-introduction on the way. His name was Peter, and he was the person in charge of fruits and vegetables at Jones Farm. He was involved in most matters related to planting, and was a so-called professional.

Peter said that when the Jones couple heard that colleagues were coming to learn from them, they felt honored but also a little regretful because they were negotiating business at the market in Ziqin Town and could not spare the time to come back to receive them.

Finally, the matter fell on his head.

"I heard from the boss that someone recently bought the long-abandoned wasteland nearby. I didn't expect it to be you, little brother?" Peter showed gratitude, shook Luo Mu's hand, and said, "The boss has also been eyeing that wasteland for a long time, and was hesitant about whether to buy it. I didn't expect it to be snatched up by you, haha!"

Luo Mu was a little embarrassed. He remembered that when he went to see the mayor, he did say that there were many other people waiting to buy the house because of the price. He saved a lot of money after traveling for a year, so he chose to buy it in full.

Unexpectedly, the Joneses were among them.

"It's better to strike first. Don't mind it!" Peter held Luo Mu's hand a little harder and said bluntly: "I personally want to thank you. Fortunately, you bought that piece of wasteland, otherwise my workload would at least double!"

"So, if you have anything you want to know, just ask me!"
