Chapter 285 These leaves are like leeks, they grow again after being cut

The versatility of Victini's infinite energy is simply outrageous. Whether it is Luo Mu's physical strength, the charging of Z Pure Crystal, or the large amount of energy consumed by Flower Therapy Huanhuan and Bai Pengpeng to unfold the Composite Green Grass Field Z, Victini can recharge them all.

On that day, Luo Mu was forced to release Grass Z five times. If Victini hadn't charged too much at one time and his body couldn't bear the fatigue, he felt that today either he would faint from the drain of his energy, or the Z Pure Crystal would explode on the spot.

Fortunately, the results are indeed remarkable, and the growth of the secret seasoning is almost visible to the naked eye. At this rate, the secret seasoning may be fully mature before the end of this year or next year.

Seeing Victini's active performance, Luo Mu, who was hunched over and planning to go back to rest, suddenly had many training plans built around Victini flash through his mind.

With V here, it might not be long before the Pokémon on the farm will undergo a complete transformation.

The next day, Luo Mu brought Roentgen and Thunderbolt, the only two electric-attribute Pokémon on the farm, to the power generation and storage facilities that had been installed and were ready to be put into use at any time.

Also accompanying them was Zhihuixing, the butler who was supervising the engineering team in setting up the facilities group.

The appearance of the power generation and storage facility group is very unique. When he saw it, Luo Mu finally felt that he was in a world with a lot of black technology.

The entire power generation module consists of several tall tower-shaped structures, the surface of which is covered with some kind of smooth silver metal coating, reflecting the sunlight and appearing to be shining.

The towers are connected to each other by thick cables. In the center of the towers is a huge battery storage warehouse. Electricity is input into the warehouse through the largest cable. The battery storage warehouse will store the electrical energy and transport stable electricity to various parts of the farm through circuits connected to the underground.

Because it supplies electricity to the entire farm, Luo Mu aimed to do it on a large scale from the beginning, so the facilities group occupies a large area.

Even though the only equipment that needs electricity now is street lights and small houses, in the future the farm will surely install more equipment that requires electricity. This is also a precautionary measure in a sense.

Zhihuixing's telepathy sounded, and it explained in detail: "Master, the method of charging is very simple. Let Roentgen Cat or Thunder Drum hit the tower with electric-attribute moves, and it will automatically collect electricity, transmit it into the battery storage compartment through cables, and then spread it throughout the farm through the circuit buried deep underground in the farm."

"But we need to be careful. The Roentgen Cat and the Thunder Drum are too powerful. Even a tower built with first-class materials may not be able to withstand it. We need to let them hold back a little."

Luo Mu nodded thoughtfully. Zhi Hui Xingzhen had considered everything very comprehensively. And this power generation and storage facility was indeed very Pokémon-like, very unscientific, and pure black technology.

The Roentgen cat and the thunder drum looked at each other, and sparks began to flash on their bodies, but they did not start to discharge electricity.

In a fight of this level, the speed at which you release your moves can determine the direction of the battle. The speed at which the Roentgen Cat and the Thunder Drum release electricity is naturally very fast. The Thunder Drum even has a move called "Thunder". The reason why they don't discharge electricity for a long time is naturally to control the power of electricity.

It is a technical job to ensure that the power tower will not be destroyed by great force. After brewing for about ten seconds, the Roentgen Cat and the Thunder Drum released golden electric current one after another.

The electric current fell on the body of the power tower. In the blink of an eye, the indicator light on the top of the power tower flashed green. This was proof that the power tower was absorbing current and operating stably.

As time went by, the electric current was transmitted to the battery storage compartment through the cables on the power tower. After about ten minutes, Menglei Gu and Roentgen Cat stopped moving and cast curious eyes on the lit digital screen outside the battery storage compartment.

The bright red 5%, the Roentgen cat and the thunder drum fell silent.

Is this thing so hard to charge?

They continued to output for more than ten minutes!

Fortunately, Zhihuixing quickly stepped forward to clear their confusion, and telepathically said, "The scale of the power storage warehouse installed on the farm is actually enough to supply all the electricity needs of an ordinary small town for a month. The reserve is huge, and it is not so easy to fill it up."

Hearing this, Roentgen Cat and Thunder Drum breathed a sigh of relief, while Luo Mu fell into deep thought.

It seems that the description in the Pokémon Encyclopedia cannot be taken seriously. Saying that one Electric Beast is enough to supply a large city with electricity for a year is as ridiculous as saying that the surface temperature of a lava snail is 10,000 degrees.

You know, the surface temperature of the sun is only six thousand degrees!
When the farm's electricity demand increases in the later stage, it is really difficult to supply electricity relying solely on Roentgen, an electric-attribute Pokémon. Fortunately, there is now Thunderbolt in the farm, which can help the farm generate electricity before it returns to its own era.

Not to mention the Zapdos that signed an unequal treaty with Luo Mu. In a few days, he will bring it back to the farm to work and let it fully charge the farm in one go.

Afterwards, Luo Mu took the table provided by the engineering team from Zhi Huixing, and compared it briefly. He was surprised to find that if it was the electricity used by the farm today, 5% alone would be enough to keep the lights on for a whole day on the farm. All the electrical facilities in the small villa would be turned on, wasting a month.

Luo Mu was a little surprised that he suddenly didn’t have to pay the electricity bill.

In the afternoon, Luo Mu ran to the pasture area and found two budding deer.

Milkman and his two lambs were leisurely eating grass on the grass, while the two sprouting deer walked up to Luo Mu.

At this time, their appearance has changed greatly. The tuft of hair on their chest in spring has completely disappeared, small green spots have grown on their bodies, their tails are slightly raised, and the biggest change is their horns.

The pale pink flowers on the two pairs of long horns that looked like trees disappeared, replaced by new green leaves.

Smelly is a Pokémon that changes its appearance with the seasons, and this look is undoubtedly summer.

But the most important thing is——

Once the sprouting deer turns into its summer form, its leaves can be picked and used to make a special black tea with a rich aroma!

This kind of black tea is popular among the public because of its rich aroma, mellow taste and rich layers. To be honest, Luo Mu has been craving this for a long time.

In addition to making black tea from the leaves, there are many other ways to drink it, such as adding petals to enhance the flavor of scented tea, adding honey and other condiments to make different drinks, and blending moo moo cow's milk and goat's milk into milk tea, etc.
Luo Mu, who couldn't wait, started picking leaves with a basket after getting the consent of the budding deer.

Fortunately, Luo Mu had long been eyeing the summer leaves of the budding deer and had consulted many related professional books on tea making at the Orange Academy. In terms of theoretical knowledge alone, he was confident that he was not inferior to anyone.

Picking is the most basic, important and must not be ignored step.

You should choose the new buds and leaves growing on the sprouting deer antlers. The color must be sufficiently light green and have a certain amount of tea hair. Anything older will not be acceptable.

Soon, the tea leaves filled up the basket in Luo Mu's hand. Due to the height of the Sprouting Deer, Luo Mu, who was only a little over 1.8 meters tall, had to raise his hands high to be able to serve the tea leaves from the long horns on top of the Sprouting Deer's head.

The temperature has been getting higher and higher recently, not to mention in the ranch area where there is little shade.

Luo Mu wiped the sweat from his forehead, thinking about planting a few trees in the pasture area, or building a sunshade so that the heavy mud draft horses and sprout deer can avoid the sun and heat when needed.

At this time, he discovered that there was some tender green on the horns of the two budding deer, as if they were about to pop out at any time.

Just like the pink flowers before, as long as there is enough nutrients, it can grow at an unreasonable speed. It's just like leeks, cut one crop and another will grow.

But in the final analysis, these plants still grow by absorbing nutrients from the sprouting deer's bodies.

Although they can grow indefinitely, we still have to grasp the degree and try not to burden the sprouting deer. In the wild, some sprouting deer will even have their nutrients snatched away by flowers, causing their growth to slow down.

After spending some time intimately with the two budding deer, Luo Mu hurriedly left with the basket full of tea leaves. Because he was in a hurry, he subconsciously ignored the fact that the two budding deer were now more intimate than before.

In order to ensure the effective ingredients in the fresh leaves, the second step of processing - withering - must be started as soon as possible after picking the tea leaves.

Allowing the picked tea leaves to naturally lose moisture over time under appropriate temperature and humidity will make them soft. This step directly affects the subsequent steps.

After arranging the tea leaves to wither, Luo Mu took out the dried flowers that he had already dried from the warehouse.

These are the products of processing the light pink flowers on the heads of budding deer. Luo Mu wants to try using them to make scented tea.

After calling Shang Zhi Huixing to boil a pot of water in the living room, Luo Mu put dried flowers and some tea leaves into a cup, added some Three Bees honey, and finally added boiling water to make it brew.

With the boiling hot tea, Luo Mu and Zhi Huixing tasted the scented tea made from the flowers on the top of the budding deer's head.

Zhi Huixing picked up the teacup, sniffed it gently, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

What greets it is a scent that seems to carry the breath of spring, rich yet sweet, making it feel as if it is in a garden, feeling the freshness and vitality of the flowers.

Take a sip of tea, and the fragrance of tea leaves spreads in your mouth. This fragrance is elegant and long-lasting, blending with the rich fragrance of flowers and the sweetness of honey, making the taste softer and smoother.

It tastes even better than the can of scented tea that it used its superpowers to snatch from the principal's office at the Pokémon Butler Academy, which the principal treasured as if it were his life!

Luo Mu also showed an intoxicated expression. This was simply the best scented tea he had ever tasted in his life.

Putting down the teacup, Zhi Huixing looked intoxicated and asked about the business through telepathy: "Master, regarding the matter of the Dragon Clan in the Johto area, when do you plan to leave?"

Luo Mu hesitated for a moment and replied, "Doesn't that start in the second half of this month? Just fly to the Johto region on Dragonite a day or two in advance."

Hearing this, Zhi Huixing nodded slightly, so that it could continue to arrange some trivial matters on the farm.

Luo Mu tasted the scented tea again and began to think.

When he reaches the Dragon Taming Clan in the Johto region, he will most likely meet A'du, nicknamed the Invincible Dragon Messenger. He doesn't know how close he is to A'du now.
The withering of tea leaves takes a few hours, followed by three steps: rolling, fermentation and drying, each of which takes a lot of time and effort.

Luo Mu could only hope to drink this cup of black tea before heading to the Johto area, and then use the black tea to entertain the visiting guests and listen to their feelings about the black tea after tasting it.

However, before that, Luo Mu was entangled in another matter.

In the early morning of June 6, with a pair of broad black steel wings flapping continuously, a huge bird, which seemed to be wearing armor that could even reflect the sunlight, landed on the platform next to Luo Mu's window.

Not far from the platform was Moltres's nest, but Moltres, who was sleeping soundly, simply raised her eyes to glance at Steelix and then turned around and continued to sleep.

Anyway, Sanmao and the others have learned their lesson and won't disturb people early in the morning. They are still my little brothers and obey my orders, so I can do whatever I want.

Sanmao looked through the window with her red pupils at Luo Mu, who was also sleeping soundly on the bed. She carefully used her beak that could peck through even steel to knock on the window like a woodpecker, trying to wake Luo Mu up.

But how could Luo Mu, who was sleeping soundly, react?
Fortunately, Zhi Huixing, who was cleaning the dust with four or five feather dusters and using his superpowers, happened to open the door and walked into the room. With the help of Zhi Huixing, Luo Mu was successfully awakened.

After getting dressed and washing up, Luo Mu, who was still a little sleepy, looked at the anxious Steel Crow, still a little confused.

Then, he was awakened by the hoarse voice of Steelix.

"Quack quack -!"

Steel Armor Crow was gesticulating and trying to tell Luo Mu something, but Luo Mu couldn't understand a word. Fortunately, the gold medal translator, Zhihuixing Butler, was right next to him.

Listening to the simultaneous interpretation, Luo Mu finally understood what Steel Crow Sanmao was so anxious about.

Ever since they rescued Sanmao's entire tribe and the Fiery Arrow Hawk tribe from under Tie Zhiyin's basketball and Tie Baofu's spherical device, the Blue Crows have obviously paid more attention to patrolling the sky over the farm, and have driven away many wild flying Pokémon that wanted to steal crops.

There had been a misunderstanding before. The three bees under the Queen Bee's command, who came to deliver honey to the three bees regularly and collect some nectar from the flower fields, were stopped by the Blue Crows and almost got into a fight.

Fortunately, Huanhuan, a flower therapist who was near the flower field, rushed over and cleared up the misunderstanding. The blue crows then realized that the three bees had established a cooperative relationship with this farm and did not need to be expelled.

They also received some honey gifts from the three bees. The delicious honey, which can replenish energy and stamina, instantly captured the hearts of the blue jays.

After a while, the Blue Crows established some connections with the three bees, and helped the three bees drive away some wild Pokémon that attacked them when they were collecting honey, and then exchanged them for some honey.

Luo Mu felt that if he continued like this, he might be able to set up a Steel Crow bodyguard company one day.

In short, after the Steel Crows and Blue Crows, who had a good relationship with the Queen Bee and the three bees, learned the news from the Queen Bee, they immediately flew to the farm without stopping and informed Luo Mu to visit the Queen Bee as soon as possible.

Because rare female three-bees were born in the queen bee's colony!
Male bees are born to be loyal to the queen. They are responsible for the hard work, carrying nectar and protecting the queen.

Male three-bees cannot evolve. Only female three-bees can evolve. After a female three-bee evolves into a queen bee, she will begin to develop her own bee colony and occupy a territory.

Therefore, for the queen bee, even her own offspring will become her competitor in the future from the moment a female bee is born.

There are many queen bees that, after hatching female bees, directly choose to expel them from the colony as unstable factors.

The reason why Steel Crow was anxious was because the Queen Bee still clearly remembered the agreement with Luo Mu. Now she was suppressing the instinct to expel her future competitor from the tribe and was waiting for Luo Mu to come and take away the female three-bee bee.
