Chapter 263 Summer is coming quietly, let’s make preparations together!

It has been several days since the sparring match between Luo Mu and Huang Bo. Discussions about that battle have remained heated in Orange Academy, and even the number of applicants for Huang Bo's combat courses has increased significantly.

This made the newcomer Huang Bo extremely busy, and he often had to stay at Orange College all day to teach, which was very tiring.

Fortunately, Luo Mu has been promoted to a leader. He doesn't need to teach too many students. He only needs to focus on how to train the top students and find talented students.

Perhaps thanks to Ye Ci's drastic reforms, the school spirit of Orange College has been completely renewed.

Although most of the students wanted to sign up because they were attracted by the power of the Thunder Drum, and even though they heard from Huang Bo that Luo Mu was now focusing on training a few students with good talents in combat, their enthusiasm did not diminish in the slightest. Instead, they began to work hard, wanting to become one of the few chosen ones.

Huangbo did not complain about the hard work. On the contrary, she enjoyed every moment of teaching students and interacting with them.

After the battle, Luo Mu also privately sought out Huang Bo to discuss with her the directions in which Huang Bo and the Staff-tailed Scaled Armored Dragon could try to make progress in the future.

Time has come to a new month.

May 5, Ranch District.

Stroking the dark brown fur of the budding deer, Luo Mu gently plucked the last blooming light pink flower from its horn, and then placed it in a basket that was already filled with flowers.

Wiping off the sweat from his forehead due to the gradually warming weather, Luo Mu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled:
"Okay, now the flowers are clean."

The two budding deer rubbed Luo Mu's empty left hand affectionately, one in front and one behind. After saying goodbye, they walked away with their two obviously grown-up mounts, the lambs.

They also agreed to practice grass-attribute moves later.

Luo Mu watched their departing backs, looked at the grass rustling in the breeze, and the big milk can in the distance eating with a happy expression on his face. The tender buds he touched on the horns of the budding deer when he picked the flowers just now appeared in his mind.

Spudger is a Pokémon whose physical features change with the seasons. In spring, its horns have beautiful light pink flowers, in summer, they have large green leaves, in autumn, the green leaves begin to turn red, and after the red leaves fall off, they become bare snow-white wooden horns in winter.

Whether it is the climate or the changes in the bodies of the sprouting deer, they are all telling one thing -

Summer seems to be coming quietly.

On the way back, Luo Mu happened to run into three white puffins jumping towards the warehouse.

They have fully integrated into farm life and are now Luo Mu's right-hand men in taking care of the farm. The crops thrive under their care, and the abundant fruits they produce provide the Pokémon on the farm with a variety of meals every day.

It can be said that it is the cooperation of Pokémon such as Puffball that has brought us today’s leisurely and affluent life.

"Puff~"

The three white puffies were very excited to see Luo Mu, but unfortunately they had no hands and could not wave, so they could only jump to greet him.

Luo Mu smiled and waved his hand: "Are you going to rest?"

"Puff~"

The white fluffy ones nodded.

Just now, they checked the crops in the farmland with the Monarch Snake. The crops that matured quickly are ready for harvest. In a few days, they plan to call other Pokémon in the farm who have free time to experience the joy of harvest together.

Now, they plan to go to the Flower Therapy Ring's medical room to enjoy some floral aromatherapy and relax their bodies and minds.

Luo Mu suggested: "Then let's go together."

The white puffins readily accepted Luo Mu's proposal and returned to the small villa together.

Watching them enter the medical room that he had specially vacated for Hualiao Huanhuan, Luo Mu realized that Bai Pengpeng and the others had actually made an appointment for Hualiao Huanhuan's floral fragrance treatment and they seemed to be quite good at enjoying it.

With a faint smile, Luo Mu took a few plans from Zhi Huixing who had been waiting for a long time.

[The entire farm is paved with stone slabs. It is estimated that 20 Alliance coins will be needed]

[Farm street light planning and circuit laying are expected to require 25 Alliance Coins]

[Construction of an underground ice cellar on the farm. Estimated funding required: 18 Alliance Coins and several Ice-attribute Pokémon]

[Farm power generation and storage facility group. Estimated funding required is about 50 alliances]

After Luo Mu read through them one by one, Zhi Huixing's telepathy began to sound.

[Master, the above are all infrastructures that I think need to be built as soon as possible before summer. The sooner they are completed, the better.]

"you're right."

Luo Mu nodded thoughtfully and agreed with Zhi Huixing's suggestion.

The so-called roads on the farm today are made by Luo Mu having two ground-type Pokémon, Swampert and Mudsling, compact the soil. Whenever it rains, the ground is always muddy, and Pokémon will inevitably be covered in mud when passing by.

After every rainy day, Luo Mu would call on Frog King and Mosquito-Coolants to spend a long time bathing the Pokémon.

Especially the Husky, Husky, who was not well-behaved at all. He rolled around in the mud with the Mahua Hound, got himself covered in mud, and still wanted to get into the house.

Luo Mu's blood pressure has risen countless times because of the wind speed dog.

There was also the Roentgen cat. Luo Mu almost lost half his life just by giving it a bath.

I don't know why it hates being soaked in water even though it is obviously immune to water-attribute Pokémon. Fortunately, the Frog King and the Pokémons can use bubble beams to clean it, and finally freed Luo Mu.

In any case, the paving of this stone road is one of the most important infrastructures.

Zhi Huixing suggested:
[Master, in order to save costs, I suggest laying the circuits throughout the farm before laying the stone roads. Otherwise, when laying the circuits underground later, you will have to lift up the stone roads, wasting energy and financial resources.]

Luo Mu felt that what Zhi Huixing said made sense. Construction planning existed for times like this. There was a lot of knowledge involved in building the best farm from scratch in a reasonable order.

As for the ecological dome farm that Luo Mu imagined, not to mention the financial issue, he didn't even know if Blueberry Academy would be willing to share the technology. He could only put this idea aside for the time being.

Next, Luo Mu and Zhi Huixing discussed the construction of underground ice cellars and the power generation and storage facilities to match the laying of circuits.

The farm now has two powerful Electric-attribute Pokémon, Thunderdrum and Roentgen, as well as many Pokémon that can learn Electric-attribute moves. As long as we customize equipment that can convert the Pokémon's Electric-attribute attacks into electricity, we can supply electricity to the entire farm.

In this regard, we must find a reliable party B, and the power storage facilities built should be larger. Luo Mu has not forgotten the agreement with Zapdos.

Be sure to let it generate electricity and fill up the battery in one go!

There is also Articuno. When the time comes, a large ice cellar will be built underground, and the ice inside will be made by Articuno, so that if the messenger bird returns after its journey, it can still live in a suitable environment. Of course, Luo Mu has also made a backup plan in case he can't wait for Articuno to return. After all, it is said that the elves' concept of time is always different from that of ordinary people, probably just like the difference in the concept of time between elves with long ears and humans in the fantasy world.

If Articuno doesn't return to the island, Luo Mu will go to Frost Mountain or other snowy mountains to kidnap... No, bring back a few ice-attribute Pokémon.

Such as the furry Ice Vulpix and Ice Ninetail, the Ice Eevee known as the Snow Fairy, the Snow Moth that can spit out ice silk, and other ice attribute Pokémon
If you are more daring, in other areas there are also Regice who can create non-melting ice and Blizzard Horse who spews frost streams.

Kyurem being able to freeze the world is a bit too much. If we really bring Kyurem back, the entire farm and even Pingdie Town will probably be covered in snow.

Or it could be the iron bag that you might find in the Padia region.

Before the discussion was about to end, Zhi Huixing asked with some concern:

[Master, regarding the issue of funds.]

"Ah, funds? Don't worry about that."

Luo Mu thought Zhi Huixing was worried that his savings were not enough, so he quickly spoke up to tell Zhi Huixing to relax.

"As you know, I got a promotion recently, and my salary has tripled to 24 yuan a month. The farm is also making money, and I have savings. If things don't work out, I can still take on some tasks to earn some money."

"Construction! We must vigorously construct! Now that we have conquered everyone, we must create an environment where everyone can live happily."

【.】

Chimp was silent for a moment. He originally wanted to say that the farm would be his workplace and home for a long time to come. If he didn't mind, he had saved some money from studying at the Pokémon Butler Academy and occasionally working part-time over the years, so he might as well use it.

The money is not much, it can be regarded as a token of wisdom from the ape, which is only several times of the farm's current liquid capital.

Since the young master has taken on this matter so domineeringly, let's forget about it for now and keep it for future use.

In the afternoon, Luo Mu rode Dragonite to Orange College again.

After the promotion, he no longer had fixed teaching times, which he basically adjusted according to his schedule and the needs of the students he chose to train.

In the brand new office, Luo Mu received a girl who seemed a little reserved.

Luo Mu had just fought a few battles with Nemo with Arcanine, pointed out some of her shortcomings, and then returned to the office to rest, read a book, and then returned to the farm.

But Peony came over.

Mudan was still carrying her favorite plush Eevee bag. After Luo Mu received her, she said frankly that she wanted to become stronger.

Luo Mu sat up straight, his expression was stunned for a moment, and he tapped the desk with his right fingers: "You said, you want to train Pokémon with me, do you want to become stronger?"

Mudan twisted her fingers together and nodded gently, "Yes."

Luo Mu paused knocking on the desk. Is the sun rising from the west today?

Mudan, who had always been his target, actually came to him on her own initiative.

However, the necessary process still needs to be followed.

Luo Mu put down the Ice-Attribute Pokémon Habitat Guide in his left hand, stood up, and looked at Mudan: "Can you let me see your Pokémon?"

The office is very spacious and can easily accommodate several Kentaro. Luo Mu is not worried at all that the office cannot accommodate Mudan's Pokémon.

Besides, her Pokémon are small and cute.
Mudan nodded nervously, and her voice as soft as a mosquito's whistle sounded.

"Come out, Fairy Eevee."

With a sweet cry, a very cute Pokémon appeared in the office.

Sylveon's body is mostly white, with pink dotted on the top of its head, ears, tail and the lower part of its legs. It has a bow on its left ear and neck, with two ribbons connected to the bow. The ends of the ribbons are a gradient of pink, dark blue and light blue.

After leaving the Poké Ball, Sylveon first looked at the surrounding environment. Under the control of Sylveon, the ribbon on the bow was tied around Peony's wrist. It seemed that they had a very close relationship.

Sylveon's big blue eyes looked at Luo Mu curiously, and Mudan's nervousness was relieved when Sylveon tied the ribbon around her wrist, and she introduced: "This child is my original partner, Sylveon."

Luo Mu nodded and chuckled, "Although I had a hunch just by looking at your backpack, you really do like Eevee."

"I can see that you have a good relationship with Sylveon. After all, trainers who can evolve Eevee into Sylveon are people who care about their Pokémon very much. That's great."

Mudan's cheeks turned slightly red, as if she was embarrassed by Luo Mu's praise.

Although he knew that the future Peony would be a strong person who could scare the bullies who no longer existed into dropping out of school with her strength, Luo Mu still suggested:

"Well, from this well-trained Fairy Eevee, we can see that your training ability should be good. As for the battle, we can arrange a time to test it later. How about it?"

Mudan hesitated and said, "Ah, not now?"

Luo Mu glanced at her and did not answer the question. Instead, he hesitated for a moment and asked, "Don't you dislike being in the spotlight? Can you tell me what made you change your mind?"

Mudan has a serious social anxiety disorder, and Luo Mu never expected that Mudan would come to him on her own initiative.

As if Fairy Eevee knew Peony's determination, the wrapped ribbon tightened slightly, transferring its power to Peony.

Mudan clenched her fists slightly and said in a deep voice: "I want to train myself a little bit. I can't always rely on the help of teachers. Sometimes, I have to push myself."

"Not a bad answer." Luo Mu clapped his hands lightly at Mudan's surprised expression, then picked up the book on the desk and said with a smile, "Chairman Ye Ci will come to see me later, so I don't have time today."

"I see."

Mudan was about to lower her eyes, but she saw the title of the book in Luo Mu's hand.

Ice attribute Pokémon habitat guide.
Is he trying to capture some ice-attribute Pokémon?
Although she didn't say it, Mudan actually felt a certain gratitude towards Luo Mu.

Whether it was him firing the first shot in dealing with the bullies, or helping her keep the secret so that her family in the Galar region wouldn't worry about these things, Mudan really wanted to thank him.

Mudan thought of her father and sister who were exploring and investigating legends in the Crown Snowfield.

The Crown Tundra is an extremely cold area in the Galar region, with many ice-attribute Pokémon living in it. It has a rich Pokémon ecology and should be able to meet Luo Mu's needs.

Maybe if there is a chance, I can get some information from Luo Mu and ask my father and sister to check for the traces of the corresponding ice-attribute Pokémon.
