Chapter 31 Temporary New Member
"Anyway, you should rest here for the time being. After all, there are no volcanoes nearby that can help you recover to your prime quickly. If you fly out in a weak state, you might really be captured by others, okay?"

Moltres was surprisingly quiet. It just nodded and said nothing more, as if it had something on its mind.

Luo Mu squatted beside the right wing of Moltres, carefully lifted a corner of the bandage to observe the healing degree of Moltres' wound, and nodded with satisfaction.

Although the orange flame burning on the Moltres' wings was still in a weak state, the external injuries recovered quickly and most of the scars were almost healed.

The only problem is that due to the lack of nutrient intake and the fact that the body is trying its best to repair the injuries on its own, the energy recovery is a little slow.

This situation is easy to solve.

Finding some items or props containing high-quality fire or flying energy for Moltres to absorb, or using some expensive ingredients to make medicinal food can also effectively replenish Moltres' energy.

Unfortunately, Luo Mu is unable to provide these conditions for the time being.

Not only does the construction of the farm require money, but there are also nine mouths and an egg at home that also require money. The savings have also been reduced to only 60,000 Alliance coins due to Qishu's operation.

It can be said that one foot has stepped on the brink of bankruptcy.

The next day, the experimental fields were set up in the farm area.

Luo Mu squatted in the strawberry field, stroking the green stems and leaves of the plants, with a smile on his face.

Today is the fourth day since planting the strawberries. Although I don’t know how long it took the strawberries before the time travel to grow to their current size, but with Bai Pengpeng’s regular cultivation, it should only take half a month to a month for them to grow buds, bloom, and bear fruit.

In this world, Grass-type Pokémon are of great help to agriculture.

However, Bai Pengpeng's energy is limited after all. Apart from the failed potato field, there are four other fields of tomatoes, eggplants, cabbages and cucumbers still waiting for Bai Pengpeng's visit.

It would be too much of a strain to have only one Pokémon to cultivate. Unfortunately, it would take some time for the young Cotton to evolve. Luo Mu could only try his best to provide nutrition to White Fluffy and tell it that there was no need to rush the fields and it could just wait for them to grow naturally.

After leaving Serpentis, Puffball, and two young Pokémons who were temporarily in a carefree stage to take care of the field and prevent them from being eaten by passing wild Pokémon, Luo Mu moved to the lake area below the battlefield of Dragonite and Moltres yesterday.

Dragonite's thunder not only hit Moltres, but more lightning also landed on the ground.

Normally, Dragonite and the others consciously restrain the power of their moves so as not to cause too much change to the surrounding environment.

Today, this big pit can be said to have been formed under Luo Mu's instructions.

"Meow."

The Roentgen cat walked over, and a closer look revealed that the hair on its body was still standing up, and electric current could be seen flowing freely through the hair from time to time.

Luo Mu did not stroke its fur as usual, because it would be easy to burn his palms if he touched the Roentgen cat in this state with his bare hands.

Looking at the Roentgen cat, Luo Mu asked, "How is the residual electrical absorption going?"

The Roentgen cat twisted its head and looked at the big pit behind it, confirming for the fourth time that there was no residual electricity, then turned around and nodded to Luo Mu.

"Thank you for your hard work." Luo Mu nodded slightly, and only after getting confirmation from the Roentgen Cat did he dare to take a step and come to the center of the pit.

Luo Mu's nostrils twitched slightly as he smelled the burnt smell still lingering in the air. He looked around and fell into thought.

Although this pit is called a big pit, it is actually not much bigger than a normal fish pond. When filled with water, it is only about 3 meters deep and has an area of ​​about to acres. However, in the early stage of fish farming, it is enough for smaller water-type Pokémon to live in.

As for the real lake, we should wait until the farm has developed and established a certain foundation, and then expand it slowly until it is worthy of the name "Lake District".

As for how to fill the lake area with water, Luo Mu has already considered it.

His farm was connected to the wilds of South District 4, and a long distance further on was the South Padilla Sea.

In the wild of the South District 4, there are still several lakes close to the farm that can draw water from. Luo Mu plans to go there to survey today. If it is appropriate, he will let Swampert draw some of the water from the lake and then refill the water diversion channel.

There was only a little over a week left before Orange College started, and he had to complete the infrastructure construction of the farm during this time.

Luo Mu brought the Roentgen cat back home and began to pack the items needed for his outdoor adventure.

This trip is not only to investigate whether the lake environment is suitable for drainage, Luo Mu also plans to return to his old business of "treasure hunting" in the wild.

Thinking back to when he first came here, he got the first sum of money from the wild. He was able to train the Roentgen cats to their current level thanks to the many opportunities to find valuable items in the wild in the Padia region.

Luo Mu replaced the canvas bag he usually carried with a larger backpack that was even more worn out and full of signs of use.

Since he couldn't afford a space backpack, this was already the largest backpack he had.

Luo Mu was full of confidence on this trip, and the source of his confidence was the golden finger that had little presence in his mind.

Luo Mu reminded himself in his mind: "Remember to notify me when you detect something good."

[No problem, in exchange you must remember the agreement! ]

Luo Mu raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "Don't forget to keep in shape and continue your training. Don't waste your strength, right?"

"Since I promised you, I will naturally do it."

Although he was communicating with the system, Luo Mu did not stop his actions. After counting the necessary items, he immediately called the Roentgen cat lying on the spot and walked out of the house.

There was no rush to set off. Luo Mu went around from the main gate to the back of the small villa, where there was a simple shed where the injured Moltres was sleeping underneath.

Moltres maintained a hen-like squatting posture, with its flaming wings folded up. Under its body, the incubator for Pokémon eggs stood there quietly.

Because this scene was so much like a hen incubating eggs, Luo Mu couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Moltres: “?”

The Moltres, with its eyes closed, looked at Luo Mu strangely. Its intuition told it that this man was thinking about something rude.

Moltres, which usually has a bad temper, held back its anger. It was not because it could not beat the Roentgen Cat beside Luo Mu, who was even more difficult to deal with than Dragonite and had been running around with it by the neck for a day and a night. It was just that Moltres was too lazy to bother with Luo Mu.

Moltres silently hypnotized herself in her heart.
