Chapter 271 The Iron Bundle and a Letter

Chapter 271 The Iron Bundle and a Letter
In the evening of May 5, Luomu Farm.

The night had obviously covered most of the dusk. After seeing off the contractor, the workers and Pokémon of the Haoli Engineering Team, Luo Mu put his hands on his hips and looked behind him.

The farm, which was once pitch dark at night, was now illuminated by bright street lights, and even the newly paved stone road was clearly visible.

It represents human wisdom and is the guiding star in the dark night - light!
"That's great. Next time you and Arcanine don't have to use the "Flash" move all the time when you're on patrol."

Luo Mu looked at the Roentgen cat beside him staring at the light in a daze, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

Looking at the lights illuminating the farm, Roentgen Cat remembered his thoughts when he was living in a corner of the city before he met Luo Mu.

At that time, looking at the neon lights illuminating the city and the humans and Pokémon laughing and talking inside the glass walls, Roentgen Cat wondered whether he would be able to find a brightly lit place to live in the future.

Now it seems that this wish has already come true.

Luo Mu just smiled slightly beside the cat as it sighed for a long time. After the cat had seen enough, he said softly, "Let's go and see the new warehouse and ice cellar that have been built."

The Roentgen Cat withdrew its absent-minded gaze, nodded slightly, and followed Luo Mu's steps lightly. Anyone who saw it would know that the Roentgen Cat was in a good mood at this moment.

When he came to the newly expanded and reinforced warehouse, Luo Mu raised his eyebrows slightly. Although he had already had psychological expectations, the size was still shocking. It was almost three or four times the size of the original warehouse.

After opening the newly replaced door of the warehouse and entering, the bright incandescent lights illuminated the interior. The stored crops, food and consumables that originally filled the old warehouse only occupied a quarter of the area of ​​the new warehouse, making the entire new warehouse appear unusually empty.

Whether it is storing new crops or adding new things, Luo Mu has been thinking about filling up the entire warehouse one day in the future.

I brought the Roentgen cat to a corner of the warehouse. There was a huge metal cover underground, just like the passage leading to the secret basement in movies and TV dramas.

In addition to this place, the newly built house next to the new warehouse is also the entrance to the ice cellar. An entrance is set up here in the new warehouse to facilitate the transportation of items between the ice cellar and the warehouse.

When the entrance was opened, there was no cold air or white mist floating out. After all, the ice cellar had just been completed, and the ice-attribute Pokémon that would move in and transform the environment of the ice cellar into a cold state had not been found yet.

Going down the not-so-steep stairs, what comes into view is a huge underground space, which is much larger than the newly built warehouse.

After all, in addition to serving as an ice cellar, Luo Mu expects the upper house to also become the residence of the ice-attribute Pokémon he brings back to the farm in the future.

The entire ice cellar is built with materials that maintain temperature and has good air permeability. The upper house connected to the ice cellar is also very spacious. Normally, ice-attribute Pokémon will rest in the upper house, which will affect the temperature of the ice cellar and make the inside cold.

Looking at the empty space in the underground ice cellar, Luo Mu knew that he had to bring at least a lot of ice-attribute Pokémon back to the farm, otherwise he would not be able to play here.

But before that, let's try this guy first.
Luo Mu took out an advanced ball, looked at the Roentgen cat who nodded slightly, and released the Pokémon inside.

There was a crisp sound of metal falling to the ground, and the iron bundle that was defeated by Moltres still remained in the same state as when it was captured, and was in a turned-off state.

"It's almost the same as a machine. Genesect is nothing more than a bio-machine with a metal shell in front of it."

Luo Mu complained and picked out a few crystal blue stones with snowflake patterns from the basket he had been holding when he went down to the ice cellar. He tried to throw one of them at the motionless iron bag lying on the ground.

After a while——

The iron bag remained motionless, with no sign of absorbing the energy of the Ice Stone.

It seems that the Ice Stone cannot allow it to be charged and turned on. After thinking for a moment, Luo Mu signaled the Roentgen Cat to discharge the electricity at the place behind the iron bag that looked like an interface.

Generally speaking, robots are powered by electricity, right?
It turns out that charging is really effective. From Luo Mu's perspective, the dim light spots on the iron bundle's body are lighting up as the electric current released by the Roentgen cat continues to flow in.

In order to prevent the iron bag from consuming too much electricity and causing a big fuss, Luo Mu only let the Roentgen cat charge it for a while and then stopped.

Under the gaze of Luo Mu and Roentgen Cat, the electronic eyes on Tie Baofu's face gradually lit up, and his body stood up. He looked left and right, as if observing the environment here.

The Roentgen cat looked at the iron bundle vigilantly, and as long as it showed its intention to attack, it would take it down directly.

As a result, the Iron Bag just glanced at Roentgen Cat and Luo Mu, then turned around, raised the spherical device under its wings, and sprayed an extremely cold frost stream towards the open space.

[Energy reserves restored, began to transform the surrounding environment]

Tie Baofu started to transform the environment of the ice cellar without paying any attention to anyone else, completely ignoring Luo Mu and Roentgen Cat.

Luo Mu & Roentgen Cat: "."

According to the explanation of Sanmao, who has evolved into Steel Crow later, it seems that as long as the Iron Bag is not disturbed from transforming its surroundings, it will not become hostile.

The blue jay and rocket sparrow populations were annihilated simply because they chose to resist in order to protect the forest environment.

As for what Iron Baggage's attitude will be after the environment is transformed, Luo Mu doesn't know. Maybe we can see it today.
Thinking so, Luo Mu retreated with the Roentgen cat, silently watching the iron bundle transform the environment of the ice cellar, thinking that this guy seemed to have maxed out his attributes as a tool bird.

No matter how big the space of the ice cellar is, it is not as big as the forest and lake where Sanmao and the others live. Even though the energy reserves of the iron bag are not in the best condition, it took it less than ten minutes to completely transform the ice cellar into an "ice and snow" environment.

Fortunately, Luo Mu had already prepared thick winter clothes and put them on while the iron bag was transforming the environment.

Even so, he shivered unconsciously, while the Roentgen cat relied on its own fur to remain calm.

At this time, the entire ice cellar has been frozen with a thick layer of ice in all directions, and one can feel the biting cold just by breathing. The iron burden that does all this is standing on the snow piled on the ice surface, still maintaining a moving posture.

Luo Mu and the Roentgen Cat looked at each other. The electricity just released by the Roentgen Cat could only support the operation of a refrigerator for about a month at most.

But the Iron Bag was able to successfully start up with just this little bit of electricity and also carried out environmental transformation in such a large space. Isn't this thing too energy-efficient?
It's like they were born to be exploited. Bah. Bah.

Before Luo Mu could imagine a hundred ways to use the iron bag, the Roentgen cat beside him suddenly let out a threatening growl.

Looking closely, Luo Mu found that the iron bag with its back facing him had turned around at some point, and its electronic eyes, without a trace of emotion, were staring straight at him and the Roentgen cat.

[Environmental transformation completed, hunting begins in pursuit of survival and continued activities]

[Target: creatures with abundant electricity]

The iron bag lifted the spherical device, and the ice energy gathered. When it was about to turn into a frost stream and whistle out, a crackling sound of electricity came from the body of the Roentgen cat. The next moment, the horrifying electric current broke through the air and directly enveloped the iron bag.

Unlike the gentle current used to help charge the iron burden, the current released by the Roentgen Cat this time was full of aggressiveness, and under the control of the Roentgen Cat, it deliberately avoided the charging port of the iron burden.

The violent electric current continued to exert pressure on the iron bundle's body, and the frost stream spewing from the spherical device could not break through the horrible discharge of the Roentgen cat. After a while, the iron bundle fell into the melting snow pile with smoke all over its body.

[The body is too damaged, and all energy reserves are used for healing]

[Warning, warning, insufficient energy. In order to ensure the survival of the machine, forced to shut down.]

Seeing that the iron bundle had stopped moving, the Roentgen cat showed a look of disgust.

What is this, both a novice and a playful person?
After a while.

Luo Mu said into the phone, "Yes, yes. The habit of the iron bag is probably to transform the environment it is in into a place suitable for its own habitat. Before the transformation is completed, it has no aggressiveness. After the transformation is completed, in order to replenish energy or because it has its own territorial awareness, it will attack the surrounding creatures."

"It's not suitable to stay in the outside world. I decided to put it back to the Padya Pit."

Ye Ci on the other end of the phone nodded slightly: "I understand. Since we can't communicate, we can only release it back to the Padiya Giant Pit. You don't have to go down to the Padiya Giant Pit this time. Just let Qingmu go there."

Luo Mu: "Ah? Let Brother Aoki run away?"

Ye Ci asked curiously, "With his strength, isn't it the safest approach to make a trip?"

After hanging up the call with Ye Ci, Luo Mu looked at the high-level ball in his hand.

I don't know whether he was sighing that Brother Aoki was such a poor social animal, or sighing that he wanted to release the pig iron burden, Luo Mu sighed softly
Alas, it’s such a great Pokémon that can make ice and save energy. It’s really hard to let it go.

For Luo Mu, the most important thing is to prioritize the safety of the Pokémon on the farm, but the instability of the iron bag is too strong, and there will always be loopholes. It is better to remove the dangerous seeds from the beginning.

Anyway, there are many ice-attribute Pokémon in the world. Instead of leaving the unstable factor of Iron Bag on the farm, it is better to capture some ice-attribute Pokémon normally.

Luo Mu shook his head and prepared to hand over the high-level ball in the iron bag to Aoki when he set off.

There is little time left before we set off for the Unova region, so I thought I should go to Freezer Town to check whether the four students have passed the Freezer Gym.

Luo Mu rode on Dragonite, crossing countless mountains and rivers of Padya along the way. He also stopped at the Big Pot Lake for a while, accompanied Dragonite to review the environment here, and then flew into the range of Frost Mountain along the waterfall.

Because he had been to Freezer Town several times before and caught a notorious Pokémon hunter along the way, Dragonite was very familiar with the route.

Looking at the gradually approaching outline of Ice Box Town, Luo Mu fell into deep thought.

I don’t know which prison Hunter J and her accomplices are in now. Since she has been sent to prison, she should not be able to get involved in Sinnoh’s affairs regarding Team Galactic and the Three Sacred Mushrooms.

Even though summer is about to arrive, Icebox Town is still covered in frost and snow as usual. At most, the weather will be slightly clearer and the greenery will be more lush.

Luo Mu was wearing the same windbreaker he wore when he arrested Hunter J last time. As soon as he landed in Freezer Town, someone greeted him.

"Isn't this Luo Mu? Long time no see!"

Luo Mu turned around and found that the person who greeted him was old man Trang, who had accompanied him and Lila to climb Frost Mountain before.

The old man still looks energetic, with a rosy face. He must be in a good mood recently.

At Tran's feet, a grave dog was looking at Luo Mu with curiosity.

"Mr. Trang, long time no see." Luo Mu responded first, his eyes lit up, looking at the flickering candlelight above the tomb dog's head: "It seems that you get along well with Douding."

Telang smiled, squatted down and touched the head of the tomb dog, looking at Luo Mu: "Thanks to you, my wife has recovered now. She has always wanted to meet you. If you don't mind, could you please come to my humble abode and have a cup of hot tea?"

"It's just a small favor." Luo Mu scratched his head and apologized, "I plan to go to the Ice Box Gym to see my students. They are currently challenging the Ice Box Gym. I probably can't go now, at least not until later."

"It's okay, it's okay. As long as you can come, my husband and I and Douding will be very happy."

Tran waved his hand and told Luo Mu not to worry about it.

Then, as if he remembered something, Trang smiled and said, "Your students are not those four children, Piper, Nimo, Mudan and Pipa, right?"

"If it's them, the gym challenge is over. They stayed in Freezer Town a week ago. Although there were some twists and turns, they completed the challenge this morning."

"Right now, they should be being entertained by the owner of the Lime Pavilion, right?"

"That's great!" Luo Mu's eyes lit up. The four of them really did a good job. He bowed slightly to Tran and said, "Then I'll take my leave first and visit you again later."

Tran smiled and waved his hand: "Bring those four kids too."

Luo Mu nodded slightly: "Okay!"

Looking at Luo Mu's leaving back, Tran smiled, turned around and walked into a shop to choose a suitable envelope.

Then, Tran picked up a pen and slowly filled in the recipient's address - Aindook.

Walking on the streets of Freezer Town, Luo Mu praised the four people generously and made promises.

"You guys have done a great job. As a reward, I'll treat you to a feast at the Bao Canteen before you leave."

According to Lime, Nimo completed the challenge on the second day, Pipa on the fourth day, Peony on the fifth day, and Papa this morning.

Even Lime praised the four for their progress this week. They even managed to conquer the sixth gym, so they really deserved a reward.

"Great!"

The four of them cheered in surprise. Every Padian knew the reputation of Bao Canteen.

Papa even imagined what to order. The signature dish of Bao Restaurant is still...
Nimo, who had been to Bao Canteen many times, paid more attention to "the reward given by Luo Mu" than "going to Bao Canteen". She asked excitedly: "Teacher Luo Mu, are we going to go down the mountain now?"

Mudan and Pipa also cast their curious eyes towards Luo Mu. After staying in Icebox Town for a week, they still knew a lot of roads. This road should lead to a residential area.
Luo Mu smiled mysteriously and shook his finger: "You will know when we get there."
