Chapter 401 Little Blacksmith: Thank God for the Gift

The afternoon passed.

Except for Nemo, who will continue to challenge enthusiastically regardless of winning or losing, and seems to have no limit to her energy in Pokémon battles.

Even Shinji chose to take a break because of repeated defeats.

As for Papa and Pipa, the two players whose IQs were not very high had already been played around by the Frog King.

During the battle, Shizuka, who was acting as the team doctor, volunteered to join the battle to practice the combination of shrinking rock collapse + substitute poison that she had been studying and practicing for the past few days.

But the result was very cruel.

Because of her lack of proficiency and experience, Shizuka had to think for a long time about what moves to use.

During this time, the Frog King used the freezing beam to bind the shrunken Jigglypuff, and then killed the opponent with a soul-piercing Qi Punch.

Shizuka was stunned at that time.

Why is this tactic so different in my hands and in Luo Mu's hands! ?
Until five o'clock when Luo Mu was ready to leave work on time, even though the five students continued to consume the Mosquito Repellent Frog King through round-robin battles, they had not won a single victory.

Now everyone is as wilted as eggplants hit by frost and is applying medicine to their partners' wounds.

Luo Mu clapped his hands, drew the five people's attention to himself, and then emphasized the problems he had discovered today.

"Nemo, the power of Babu Tubo's lightning double attack is already very good, but you made a misunderstanding and regarded it as the final blow to decide the outcome. You chose to use the dumbest method to charge it——"

"You need to find a way to smoothly integrate this move into Babu Tubo's combo. Although it is a special move that can only be used once now, this situation will change soon. You must be prepared in advance."

What Luo Mu was referring to was naturally that after Babu Tubo had the Taijing Electricity, he no longer had to worry about his electric properties disappearing, and his electricity would not be exhausted by a single electric double-click. With the energy brought by the Taijing Electricity, Babu Tubo could perform the electric double-click many more times.

Nimo's eyes were bright and she responded with great energy: "I will work hard on this!"

Luo Mu looked at Pipa again.

"Pipa, I may not know as much as you do about fighting skills, so I won't elaborate on it. The biggest problem between you and the Abandoned Monkey today is not your fighting skills, but that you like to endure attacks continuously and then use the Fist of Fury with your anger stacked on top of it."

"This move is indeed very powerful, but you have seen how the Frog King responded today. Now it is difficult to be successful with just one move. You need to think about other tactics."

"By the way, the acceleration characteristics of the Strong Chicken are also worth developing. Its leg muscles are very important, so remember to exercise them more."

Pipa sat upright and nodded slightly stiffly.

As soon as Luo Mu turned to look at Papa, Nemo, who was next to Papa, came over and quietly invited her to join them for special training later.

Looking at the guilty Papa, Luo Mu sighed helplessly and said, "What gave you the courage to let the fierce lajiao and the mosquito-repellent frog emperor compete for the weather?"

Papa didn't dare to say a word.

You can't say that he actually wanted Hot Chili Pepper to seize the weather and then kill the Frog King with a solar beam.

"However, you have taken into account the combination of characteristics and moves, which is a great improvement over before."

Luo Mu patted Papa's shoulder and turned to look at Shinji and Joey Shizuka.

In a sense, the problems of these two people are very complementary.

Shinji had meticulous combat thinking and tactics, but was limited by the fact that the Forest Turtle and the Fire Crocodile were just starting out, and their strength and the moves they had learned were far from enough to support many of his ideas.

As for Shizuka, while Chansey has an amazing skill pool, her command is terrifyingly low.

For the two of them, Luo Mu only gave basic advice for the time being.

Their team is far from forming its own unique style like Neemo and Pipa, so the basic suggestions are enough for them to digest.

When Luo Mu finished speaking, the five o'clock bell rang.

Several students were discussing whether to form a group to go to the Pokémon Center in Flateye Town to visit Peony and Flareon.

Luo Mu was very wise and did not join in the topic. He just turned around and left.

This made Papa, who was planning to go to his house for dinner in the evening, shut up wisely.

On the way out of Grape Academy, Luo Mu was suddenly stopped by a voice from behind.

"Hey, busy man, long time no see!"

Pausing for a moment, Luo Mu turned around helplessly and asked, "Teacher Lei He, is there something wrong?"

"It's nothing serious. I'm just curious about your progress in collecting ancient Padya gold coins."

Lei He spread her hands, indicating that she really just called Luo Mu out of curiosity.

Glancing at her, Luo Mu answered honestly, "It's still 26. I haven't collected any recently."

Lei He took a few steps forward, almost sticking to Luo Mu, with no sense of boundaries at all.

She seemed to be observing Luo Mu's expression, and said frivolously, "Do you need me to introduce you to some channels?"

Taking a few steps back without leaving a trace, Luo Mu shook his head, "That's not necessary. I've already thought about it."

Compared to Lei He, whose motives are unclear, Luo Mu would rather find a solution on his own and has already put it into practice, but he has not received a response from the right person yet.

As if she was hurt by Luo Mu's stepping back, Lei He said with a hurt look on her face: "I was planning to make an exception and introduce you to some channels in order to meet the first Saifuhao of modern times. What a pity."

"Then I'd like to thank you for your kindness, but I don't need your help for now." Luo Mu, who saw through Lei He's acting, shook his head and changed the subject. "Is there anything else? If not, I'll leave. There are still many things to do on the farm."

Lei He also took a few steps back and shrugged. "No, the detailed locations of the four disaster treasures, the location of the pile, and the clear water are still under investigation. I will contact you if there is a breakthrough."

"After all, with just a weak woman like me, even if I unlock the seals of the four disaster treasures, I can't subdue or stop them."

Luo Mu nodded slightly, without saying anything else, he left the Grape Academy directly, boarded a Dragonite outside of Zhuotai City, and flew towards the farm.

Just as he arrived above the farm, Luo Mu happened to encounter the Steel Crow Sky Guard changing shifts.

As the tribe leader, Sanmao directed the blue crows and steel crows to change shifts quickly, and then landed on the farm to collect today's daily wages.

Taking into account the mental health of the Steeljaws and Bluejays, Luo Mu and Zhi Huixing had previously redistributed the shifts of the Steeljaws Sky Guard.

It changed from working a whole day to working three shifts with time divided.

After delivering milk and goat milk in the early morning, the Steel Crows and Blue Crows only need to stay until twelve o'clock, and then they can switch shifts with another shift of Steel Crows and Blue Crows.

The new shift lasts from 11 a.m. to about 5 p.m., and then the members of the last shift will come to take over, work until 9 p.m. and then go back to the nest to rest.

This not only solves the problem of long working hours, but also allows more Steel Jays and Blue Jays to participate because the two extra shifts allow the Steel Jays to always be in the best condition when guarding the farm's sky.

What Luo Mu paid was just a small part of the farm's already increasingly surplus production.

Watching the Steeljays and Bluejays skillfully completing their shift, Luo Mu was about to let Dragonite land when he suddenly noticed something was wrong. "Huh?"

As Sanmao flapped its wings, its black feathers with a metallic luster fell one by one.

Some were blown away by the wind and drifted into the wild.

Some landed on the farm ground, in the fields, and in Thunder Lake.

Is it time for molting to start shedding feathers?
Luo Mu frowned slightly, looked around, and found that the other Steeljays and Bluejays had the same phenomenon.

There are only two reasons why Steelix would molt its feathers.

One, you have some disease.

The probability of this is very low. It's impossible that the dozen or so Steeljays and Bluejays in front of Luo Mu all have the same disease, right?
Second, the body is well-nourished and grows feathers that are better than the original ones.

Luo Mu felt that this was probably the reason.

Since being recruited to work on the farm, the skinny Sanmao and the dull feathers have been improving at a speed visible to the naked eye. Now, many of the Steel Crows are even overnourished and have gained weight.

It is normal for them to begin to grow stronger and higher quality feathers.

A few moments.

Dragonite landed at Thunder Lake. Luo Mu released the Pokémon teacher, who had been busy all afternoon, from the Poké Ball, and interacted with it, as well as Hackon and Dragonite leader, before returning home.

Zhihuixing must have gone out to purchase daily necessities, while the Rape Crown King was interacting with Cosmog, who had rarely woken up.

As soon as she saw Luo Mu coming back, the Queen of the Crown of Flowers said through telepathy: "The Roentgen cat and the wind speed dog have returned, and they brought back good news."

Luo Mu's eyes lit up slightly, "What good news?"

The Lotus Crown King used his telekinesis to control a piece of paper that seemed to have been torn off casually, and made it float towards Luo Mu.

"Miss Joy from the Pokémon Center in Flat Disc Town has already prepared a recipe for salty ingredients, and she asked them to bring back a copy."

Luo Mu quickly took the prescription and looked at it carefully.

Perhaps because Flareon's problem requires a race against time and treatment as soon as possible, this prescription is a bit more radical than the previous conservative prescription of sour ingredients, and boldly adds several medicinal plants that may be able to complement the effects of salty ingredients to promote the effect.

It's almost like it was specially customized for Flareon.

When he saw the prescription, Luo Mu understood why Joey asked the Roentgen cats to bring the prescription back.

This is a question for myself.

Replace medicinal plants that are somewhat stimulating and quiet with milder ones that are more suitable for general use.

After putting the prescription away, Luo Mu planned to study it slowly at night. After coming up with a suitable prescription, he would go purchase medicinal plants and then produce the medicinal liquid in Sister Hu Hu's shell.

Then, Luo Mu told the Belle Crown about the Steelix and the others starting to lose their feathers, and raised his own questions.

"Can the feathers of the Steel Crows be used to reforge the rotten sword and rotten shield?"

The feathers of the Steelix are amazing.

While possessing the characteristics of feathers themselves, they can also exist as hard steel. Luo Mu remembered that this kind of feather should be very popular in some steel smelters in the Galar region.

So, can the feathers of the Steel Crow be used as one of the materials when repairing a rotten sword or a rotten shield?
The Rape Crown King put down the rattle he was using to tease Cosmogu and answered without hesitation, "If we can collect a large amount of this material, it will indeed help with the repair."

As a type of metal, Steelix's feathers have extremely excellent properties.

The Flower Crown King vaguely remembered that when he ordered the craftsmen to make swords and shields, the craftsmen seemed to have added the feathers of the Steel Crow.

The other party seemed to have said so.

"If we only use the best quality iron ore and other materials, no matter how skilled we are, the final product will never be able to withstand the power of the king, and it will not be able to become an excellent artifact."

"Fortunately, there are many living "steels" in the world. As long as we mix in the fragments of their body tissues or their fallen objects, it will be enough to make the finished product strong enough to withstand the gift of the King's power."

While recalling, King Lei Guan repeated the words to Luo Mu verbatim.

After listening to this, Luo Mu fell into deep thought.

In other words, one of the necessary requirements to repair the rotten sword and rotten shield is the "parts" of various steel-attribute Pokémon.

Just like the bronze on the king's bronze elephant, it chopped the metal on the commander's body.

field.

A rustling sound could be heard in the waist-high grass.

After a moment, a small pink figure poked out its head, which was larger than its body, and looked around vigilantly.

Its name is Little Blacksmith, and it loves to forge hammers. Every little blacksmith has the dream of becoming a master craftsman, and it is no exception.

However, the little blacksmith is now missing something that is as important to it as its soul.

Looking down at his empty hands, a look of loneliness flashed in the young blacksmith's eyes.

When it left the tribe to practice as a master craftsman, it passed by a bamboo forest, where its hammer was snatched away by the ferocious creatures. It was even forced to watch as the hammer was eaten up by those creatures.

I don’t know how I will be treated if I stay any longer.

In desperation, the young blacksmith could only flee from the bamboo forest and embark on a wandering journey, looking for materials everywhere, hoping to rebuild his own hammer.

It seemed that there were also the same kind of people as those hateful guys lurking around here, and the young blacksmith felt that he had to be more vigilant.

While moving carefully in the grass to avoid making conspicuous noises and attracting those nasty bullies, the little blacksmith groped carefully in the grass.

It remembered that a few feathers suddenly fell from the sky just now, and they should have landed nearby.

After searching for a long time, the little blacksmith's already dirty body was even more covered with mud.

Fortunately, hard work pays off, and the young blacksmith finally found a feather at the junction of a water source and grassland.

The feathers are jet black in color, reflecting slightly under the sunlight that has not yet set, revealing a metallic luster.

From the perspective of the young blacksmith as a rookie apprentice craftsman, he could definitely use this feather to make a hammer of far superior quality than the one he and the elders of the tribe made after attacking the bronze mirror monster!
Thank God for this gift!
The young blacksmith's eyes sparkled. He put his old hammer aside and continued to look for feathers with great effort.

But it was not until the sun went down that the young blacksmith found five feathers nearby, which was still far from the thousands of feathers needed to make a hammer!

The young blacksmith turned his gaze in the direction where the feathers were floating and silently made up his mind.
