Chapter 238: Big Milk Tank and Hero
Moo Moo milk of such good quality is actually sold to miners at a price lower than the market price. Could Hanzawa really be doing charity?
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
Just as this question popped up in Luo Mu's mind, Banze seemed to have finished packing and walked into the room with an apologetic look on his face.
"Milu~"
The big milk can who was sitting obediently on the side smiled and stretched out his hand to greet Hanzawa.
"Thank you for your hard work, Miltank." Hanze nodded slightly, his eyes fell on Luo Mu again, and he said straight to the point: "I heard everything from Mr. Sebastian. You plan to adopt a Miltank, right?"
"Yes, because I'm also opening a farm, and the pasture area inside is a little empty, so I want to add some Pokémon."
Luo Mu put down the glass bottle in his hand which had been empty without him noticing, and confirmed Banze's question.
"Is that so? I feel relieved then. You don't look like the kind of person who would treat Pokémon badly." Hanzawa smiled and extended his hand to invite, "Please come with me to visit the ranch behind the house."
Luo Mu then stood up and followed Banze all the way to the ranch behind the house, which was not small but definitely not spacious.
There were about twenty big milk cans lying on a fertile green meadow. Some of them were eating the delicious grass in small sips, while some were sleeping, looking very leisurely.
"They are all babies I brought from the Johto region. Each of them is very healthy. Even the grass and soil for cultivation were brought from the Johto region at a great cost to me."
Hanzawa proudly introduced the situation of the ranch to Luo Mu. In the Johto area, raising big milk tanks is a science and cannot be taken lightly.
The living environment is related to the physical and mental health of the big milk tank, and its physical and mental health is related to the quantity and quality of fresh milk produced, so we must pay attention to it.
Luo Mu was a little surprised: "It would cost a lot to bring it from the Johto area. Padya and Johto are almost half a planet apart!"
Hanzawa's proud expression fell, and he laughed awkwardly, "Haha. I'm not afraid of you making fun of me. In fact, most of the money I made from running a ranch in the Johto area was spent on this. The rest was used to purchase this property and the small piece of land behind it."
"In fact, I am almost penniless now."
Luo Mu was very puzzled: "Then why did you let me adopt Milk Tank for free? Is it just because of a favor?"
"That's just one of the reasons. The bigger reason is that I can't accept trading them for money." Hanze looked at the big milk cans living a leisurely life on the ranch and sighed, "To me, they are all part of the ranch and my family."
"Although it is a bit difficult now, it is only temporary. I will never sell my family members for this reason."
Luo Mu was silent for a moment, then said softly: "It seems that they are very important to you."
Hanzawa nodded slightly.
Questions then arose in Luo Mu's mind, why would Banze be willing to spend a huge price and become penniless to move from the Johto area to the Xieza town in the Padya area?
After all, the main business of Xuezha Town is basically related to mining, which shows that the environment around here is not very suitable for building a ranch.
Why did Banze do these thankless things? Because he was really curious, Luo Mu still tried to ask and emphasized that Banze didn't have to say it if he didn't want to.
"It's okay, there's no special reason." Hanzawa smiled, his eyes full of reminiscence, "When I was a kid and had just become a trainer, I brought Miltank, the one that just entertained you, to the Padia region for adventure."
"When I was traveling and passing through the town of Xieza, I was attacked by a very ferocious Banjiras. In the critical moment, I was saved by a hero who was like a knight."
"I wanted to see that hero again, which is why I moved to the Padiya area."
Luo Mu frowned slightly: "Hero. Is he a trainer?"
Hanzawa shook his head. "No, I remember it very clearly. It was a Pokémon. It had very gorgeous swordsmanship. Its continuous attacks, like a dance, made the Banjiras that attacked me retreat step by step."
"The bright purple light of the long sword still resonates in my memory, but its specific appearance has become a little blurred due to the passage of time."
Could the swordsman knight be Aledo?
Luo Mu pondered for a moment and felt that the Pokémon that matched the characteristics described by Hanzawa was Alakazam.
"Oh, by the way, the mines that the workers who bought Moo Moo Milk are mining are actually where I once met the hero. After I established a good relationship with them, I went in for a look around. Unfortunately, not to mention the hero, even Banjiras was nowhere to be seen."
Hanzawa felt a little regretful. He believed that if he could meet the hero again, he would definitely remember him, but this meeting was so difficult.
Luo Mu's eyes widened, and he asked hesitantly: "So, the reason you sold them Moo Moo Milk at a low price was just because you wanted to build a good relationship with them so that it would be convenient for you to go into the mine from time to time?"
Hanzawa admitted it straightforwardly: "Yes, I am almost penniless now. There must be a reason why he made me do a business at a loss."
Luo Mu: “.”
Give me back my awe and my admiration!!!
Hanzawa pointed at the big milk cans living leisurely in the ranch and said with a smile: "Okay, I have gone off topic for a while. These big milk cans are all very gentle. You can pick one. As long as it doesn't resist you, you can adopt it."
After chatting with Luo Mu for some time, Hanze confirmed that he should not be a bad person. In addition, there was no reason for Mr. Sebastian to introduce him to someone who would treat Miltank harshly. Now Hanze was completely relieved.
Hearing this, Luo Mu nodded slightly. Under the guidance of Banze, he observed the spirit, appearance, and development status of these big milk tanks based on his half-baked experience. It can be seen that these big milk tanks are very healthy.
Hanzawa half-jokingly said, "Seeing that you are so picky, you can also try the milk produced by each of them before making a decision."
Luo Mu was not embarrassed at all. He could only adopt one, so he had to choose a good one.
Finally, his eyes were fixed on a big milk-can that had been eating grass since he entered the pasture, while the other big milk-cans had no intention of stopping even after they were full.
You can see that the big milk can is covered with a barely perceptible layer of fluorescent green light, which flickers with the rhythm of its eating.
Miltank has three characteristics: "Thick Fat" to increase tankiness, "Courage" to target ghost-type Pokémon, and the hidden dream characteristic "Herbivorous"——
