Chapter 189 The Phantom in the Night
The fifteen fully grown fruit trees alone can produce a lot of fruit every month, not to mention the large fields planted with crops, which cannot be stored in a warehouse.
"I understand your request. Crop storage is a big challenge for every farm. It's not so bad in spring now. As long as the crops are stored in a suitable environment, they can be stored for a long time. But in summer, I'm afraid..."
The contractor scratched his head and calmly pointed out the fatal problems facing the farm.
"Other farms use freezers for storage, which consumes a lot of electricity and costs a lot to build. Even if you take a step back, you have to buy a lot of freezers. But the environment of your farm doesn't have a strong modern feel, haha."
Luo Mu could understand the contractor's euphemistic meaning. He was saying that his farm lacked any traces of modern technology. The ground was not paved, and all farm operations depended on Pokémon. There was not even a street light at night, and it was pitch dark.
The electricity is brought from a small wire nearby, which is enough to supply one room. There is no condition to open a cold storage or a large number of freezers.
Luo Mu has already made a plan for this. He only needs to add one or two ice-type Pokémon to the farm before summer. By then, the natural ice storage will be no worse than a freezer, right?
Moreover, Dragonite also has the move of Freeze Beam, and Swampert also has the move of Freeze Punch. So the conditions are there, but the key in the Pokémon world is to make good use of the power of Pokémon.
Thinking of this, Luo Mu said, "You should help me build two warehouses of the same specifications next to it. As for the storage problem in the summer, I will also be able to solve it by then."
The contractor had no doubts. Just by looking at Luo Mu's Pokémon, he knew that his identity was not simple. There should be many solutions. Instead of thinking too much, he might as well take this order and consolidate the relationship with Luo Mu, the future big customer.
After the contractor left the farm with the new contract, Luo Mu stretched and muttered, "It's been a while since Meowth left, why hasn't there been any news yet?"
His anticipation for the butler Pokémon has reached its peak, so don't tell him that it didn't pass the review.
ding dong~
The phone in his trouser pocket rang. Luo Mu quickly took out his phone. When he saw the sender displayed on the screen, his eyes lit up: "This is too coincidental. Speak of the devil, and he will appear."
[Yeci: The matter of the Pokémon Butler Academy in the Kalos region has been finalized. When can you find time to go to the Kalos region? I will help you sign up.]
Luo Mu looked at the time. Today was March 15th. Lei Si and Shinsi had visited the farm the day before yesterday. Yesterday, he called the contractor to discuss the details of building the chicken coop, and it was completed today.
The invitation time in the letter Zhimi sent him was very flexible. He would stay in the Kalos area between March and May, and during this period he welcomed Luo Mu to visit him at any time.
Half a month has passed since the spring break, and the second semester of Orange College will start soon. Since we are going to the Kalos area, we need to set aside at least seven days.
During this period of time, he also had to arrange all matters on the farm, and take care of the matters of Growlithe and Moltres. After some thought, Luo Mu set the time.
[Luo Mu: Then I will leave on March 21st. After arriving in the Kalos region, I will contact them about the specific time of the visit. Is that okay?]
[Yeci: No problem]
late at night.
Because there are no street lights, except for some Pokémon with good night vision, most Pokémon in the farm will not choose to wander around in the dark, and have developed the good habit of going to bed early and getting up early.
The Roentgen cat had just finished its last round of patrol, and even it was a little tired, not to mention the two little tails following behind it - the Katie and the Mastiff who volunteered to join the late night patrol.
At this point, the two puppies were no different from the wandering souls at night, walking with unsteady steps, like wandering souls.
Roentgen Cat yawned calmly, looked at them helplessly, and thought it was almost time to rest, so he led the two Pokémon towards the house.
A long time after the Roentgen cat left, a pair of big eyes suddenly opened in the grass not far from the fence outside the farm.
Finally, it got its chance. According to its observations over the past few days, there are many powerful Pokémon in this farm. It dares not invade the farm during the day, and only dares to move at night long after the powerful guardian has left.
Now the powerful guardian has finally left to rest. It has been observing for many days. This rest will last until dawn, and then the guardian will patrol again.
The time to take action is now!
The black figure hidden in the grass nimbly climbed over the fence without making any noise. Its black body, which almost blended into the night, walked familiarly to the warehouse where a lot of food was stored.
It observed for a long time and determined that this warehouse was where the hateful humans usually stored food.
It was going to poison this human being like the ones on the farm, just like before.
However, directly applying the poison to the fruits of crops might alert the other party, so this time we have to try another method and quietly apply the poison from its fingertips on the food in the warehouse.
As for those Pokémon, there is nothing we can do about it. It's their fault for making them live with the hateful humans who have abandoned them.
It is not afraid that the other party will detect its venom. After all, it is well aware of its own abilities. As long as it eats those foods, it can produce venom with the same color and no pungent smell, but only sweet and fragrant.
Even if there is a Pokémon with a keen sense of smell, the opponent will only mistake it for the aroma of food and its appetite will be stimulated. It is absolutely impossible to be discovered before eating it.
The poison-type Pokémon let out a few slightly morbid laughs, its heart filled with the pleasure of revenge. It nimbly opened the window and climbed into the warehouse, beginning its own revenge.
At a certain moment, the bright moonlight covered by clouds fell softly, illuminating the figure of the little lemur struggling to apply venom in the warehouse with the window open.
The next day, Luo Mu got up very early.
Today he planned to change up his breakfast a little bit and make some crumbled fruit pie for the Pokémon.
As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw the Roentgen cat sniffing the ground with a puzzled look on his face. Luo Mu asked in confusion: "What are you doing?"
"Meow."
The Roentgen cat looked up and replied in distress. It always felt that there seemed to be a strange fragrance on the ground of the farm, which made it a little puzzled.
"Oh."
Luo Mu nodded in understanding, letting the cat continue sniffing, and reminded him, "I'm going to the warehouse to get some berries, you go do your thing first."
The cat continued to lower its head and sniff, searching for the source of the scent, and responded by calling out without even raising its head.
Luo Mu smiled as if he was used to it. These actions were all manifestations of the Roentgen cat's sense of responsibility.
Wearing new slippers, Luo Mu walked out of the warehouse.
Before opening the door, Luo Mu looked at the open warehouse window next to him and frowned, wondering, "Did you forget to close the window yesterday?"
Scratching his head, Luo Mu opened the door of the warehouse, took a deep breath to feel the fragrance, and sighed: "The fragrance of the fruit is getting stronger and stronger. It seems that I can make a good puff pastry fruit pie."
I'm going on a two-day trip tomorrow, so I'll update in two days QAQ
