Chapter 488 New Home and New Members
10 month 13 day.
Today, the new home was officially delivered.
The new home was built a little further south of Thunder Lake, near the spot where Moltres was once whisked away by the Monarch Snake.
There is a glass greenhouse on the north side, near the orchard, so that the slow-moving Huhu siblings can come and play at any time. When the sun is shining, they can also go to the glass greenhouse to enjoy life.
To the west is the small hill where Meng Leigu lives and the small hill behind it. After subsequent development, many more things will appear.
It is also not far from the power generation and storage facilities, so electricity problems can be paid attention to at any time. More importantly, it is relatively close to warehouses and farming areas.
In a nutshell, the new home is built in the center of the farm, and it is very convenient to access every area of the farm through the stone roads.
Luo Mu took the Roentgen cats to visit their new home as soon as possible.
It is still a three-story duplex structure, but the floor area is several times larger than the old house where we lived before, with more rooms, which are more spacious and the facilities are more complete.
There is a clinic for flower therapy, a kitchen for Frostmilk, a rest room for Pokémons, a living room with soft carpets for them to play with, a balcony where the white puffballs can stretch out their roots in the flower pots to bask in the sun and perform photosynthesis, a special bartender for Zhihuixing, and even a top-floor birdhouse built specifically for the bird Pokémon that may be added in the future.
Almost all the needs of Pokémon are met.
There is a wall in the new house that is not decorated at all. Luo Mu plans to plant some climbing plants similar to ivy behind it, which will not only be pleasing to the eye but also refresh the air.
Entering the new home through the wide front door, you will see a spacious area.
There is no dizzying smell of formaldehyde, and the decoration of the Pokémon world has long been made of non-irritating and environmentally friendly materials.
Even so, Luo Mu still asked everyone to open the windows for ventilation while exploring their new home.
Shorter Pokémon like Eruption can also cooperate with other partners to open windows by, for example, building a human ladder.
After a while, the little ones were the first to rush into their new home.
Victini took the lead, using his ability to fly as an advantage, and chose to fly towards the stairs without hesitation, reaching the highest point first.
Frosty Milk Fairy was very smart. She knew that she moved slowly, so she bribed herself with cream and rushed in riding on the twisted dog.
It was a pity for Suo Cailing. The little guy was very agile, but due to his size, he couldn't run fast and fell behind in the blink of an eye.
Luo Mu planned to let Suo Cailing explore on his own and find a place that suits him, and then he would move Suo Cailing's treasure chest there.
Luo Mu also caught Windy Dog and ordered it to wash its big paw pads covered with mud before letting it in.
After the first batch of Pokémon had almost disappeared, Luo Mu took the Roentgen cats and the others to slowly appreciate their new home.
Mimikyu is still wearing the puppet set that she used to cosplay as Sylph Eevee. The magical thing is that as long as she wears this puppet, her special ability with almost zero presence will disappear as if it is offset.
It will only be recognized when Luo Mu no longer needs to stay by its side.
Luo Mu, Lei Guan Wang and Zhi Hui Xing analyzed the situation for a long time and barely pinned the cause on Mimikyu's own "mentality", "sense of happiness" and "satisfaction".
Perhaps it was the "happy aura" emanating from Mimikyuu that neutralized that ability, causing such a strange phenomenon.
It is worth mentioning that.
As long as the original puppet is replaced, the ability will take effect again. The principle is completely unclear and confusing.
Obviously, Mimikyu's mentality hasn't changed at all.
Roentgen, Monarch, Blademaster, Swampert, Mimikyu and Dragonite, accompanied Luo Mu to win the championship and complete the initial accumulation. The most important thing is that they are the partners who support him to move forward.
Ultimately, many of the Pokémon on the farm can be friends, work partners, or something else entirely.
But the Roentgen cats are Luo Mu’s most important and reliable partners.
Even though they have long been able to stand on their own, this does not prevent Luo Mu from taking them to slowly appreciate the achievements that have been accumulated bit by bit.
After a while.
After visiting the new house and roughly allocating the rooms, Luo Mu started to get busy.
The first thing is to open up the new home.
Although the contractor carried out a thorough cleanup when he retreated with his large army, it didn't mean that Luo Mu didn't trust him.
Luo Mu simply felt that it would be more meaningful for him and the Pokémon to clean the house thoroughly, inside and out, by themselves.
Even with a lot of helpers, Luo Mu still had to work for most of the day.
By the end, my clothes were completely soaked with sweat without me noticing, and a light wipe of my forehead would leave a hand full of sweat.
Rubbing my aching waist, I couldn't help but sigh that once the house becomes spacious, it will be extremely time-consuming and laborious to take care of it. Even with a smart sweeping robot, I'm afraid it will have to work like a slave every day to keep it clean.
Not to mention the places they can't reach. Maybe we should find some assistants for Zhihuixing?
Thinking of this, Luo Mu summoned all the Pokémon scattered around the new house.
Even if it was just his psychological effect, the contractor said when he left that there was no problem moving in that day. Luo Mu still asked everyone to leave the new house temporarily, open the windows for ventilation for a few days, and then move in together.
Besides, there are still many things that need to be purchased with Zhihuixing.
After a short rest, Luo Mu asked the flower therapy machines to use techniques such as "sweet fragrance" and "aromatherapy" outside the new home to quickly cover up the subtle "smell after renovation" in the house.
Even Yueyue Bear, who almost forgot that he also had the Sweet Fragrance move, was pulled in by Luo Mu to serve as a soldier.
Luo Mu felt it was a pity that Xiaozhi left too early, otherwise, after the delivery, he would let his geranium walk around the new home a few times, and the whole house would be filled with a very fresh and pleasant smell.
Most of the furniture purchases can be made in Pingdie Town.
After all, it is a good-sized town, occupying a corner on the map of Padia, and has everything it should have.
Because the quantity required was relatively large, Luo Mu and Zhi Huixing went directly to the furniture factory recommended by the contractor and went with direct wholesale, eliminating the middlemen who made a profit from the price difference.
For tables, chairs, beds, etc., try to choose varieties of original materials with less processing.
The sofas were also chosen based on the ones that felt most comfortable on the buttocks.
In addition, many kinds of furniture were also bought to fill the new home.
He has enough money, so he doesn't spend money lavishly, but he won't compromise on anything that doesn't need to be saved. During this period, the revenue generated by Moo Moo fresh milk and goat milk was extremely terrifying.
The high-quality crops grown on large tracts of farm land are not as profitable as these.
When paying, the owner of the furniture factory looked at Luo Mu as if he were the God of Wealth. After giving the best discount, he kept muttering that he must treat the contractor to a drink tonight.
After agreeing on a time for door-to-door delivery, Luo Mu and Zhi Huixing returned to the farm under the stars. After washing up, they fell into a deep sleep in their original home.
As for the purchase of home appliances, it can be handed over to more professional people who will come to visit us in a few days.
The Hitron family will come to visit soon.
10 month 14 day.
The perceived temperature dropped a lot, and Luo Mu, who was preparing to complete the expansion of the farm before the snow fell, also sped up his actions.
The little blacksmith who joined the farm a few days ago, although he has not yet started to learn the forging skills from the Flower Crown King, he is busy with another task assigned to him by Luo Mu -
Try to communicate with the Pokémon living on the hill as much as possible, and inform them that the farm will be expanding there.
Of course, if these wild Pokémon are willing, there is no problem for them to join the farm and work in exchange for food.
After several days of work and effort, the young blacksmith returned to the farm with his achievements in hand and high spirits.
Following behind it were a few small figures.
Three gophers with red noses, most of their bodies buried in the ground.
Logically, it should be considered a whole Pokémon, but in fact it is like a Pokémon with multiple individuals like the Array Soldiers and Egg, a pair of mice distributed in Padiya.
"Kanu!"
With the help of Zhi Huixing's translation, the young blacksmith gave a general account of his work.
Because of the competing Houndoom and Flame Queen tribes at the foot of the mountain, there are not many wild Pokémon living on the hill itself. Apart from the flying bird Pokémon, there are Pokémon that can live well even if they don't go down the mountain, such as Otoshitsugi, or Pokémon that can dig holes, such as Diglett and Pair of Rats.
When questioned, most of the flying bird Pokémon would rather move than coexist with humans whose background they didn't know, even if the little blacksmith praised Luo Mu to the skies.
Alas, the ball mushrooms also chose to leave. They still remain quite wary of humans.
In the end, the only wild Pokémon willing to join the farm and work in exchange for food were the three shrews and a pair of rats in front of us.
Diglett was one of the wild Pokémon that Luo Mu had his eyes on. After the farm expanded, the increase in land area also meant an increase in the workload for the Mudhorse. It was impossible for Luo Mu to let the Mudhorse work hard to plow the land every day, so the arrival of these digletts was really just right.
In many nearby farms, farmers carefully cultivate them. The soil will be properly turned over after the gophers pass by, and their excrement will make the soil fertile, making it the most suitable field for farming.
It is perfect as an assistant to pull the heavy mud horse.
Looking at the three gophers with longing faces, seemingly completely conquered by the little blacksmith's lobbying, Luo Mu hesitated for a second because he was not decisive enough. He directly knocked on the board and agreed to let the three gophers join the farm.
Then he looked at a pair of mice nearby that seemed a little embarrassed.
In books, a pair of rats is classified as a composite organism consisting of two rat-like rodents that live together in a collaborative way.
Each individual in a pair of mice walks upright on two feet. Its small white body has a round head and two big ears, short and thick limbs and big claws, making it look like a doll.
They looked at Luo Mu with their big black eyes, seeming to be expectant yet timid. Their little black noses twitched and their short whiskers trembled, as if they were observing the surrounding environment.
What’s even more bizarre is that the two individuals within a pair of mice actually have slight differences in their fur.
The individual on the left has light grey hair on its legs, looking like a pair of small pants.
The upper body hair of the individual on the right is light grey, like a shirt.
The long, curled tails that end in a ball are joined together, indicating that whenever a pair of mice are together, they will divide the food they find into two halves and eat together in intimacy.
It can use its tacit teamwork to cut off things that can serve as nesting materials with its incisors and carry them away.
It is not only an individual, but also a family. No matter how many times he has seen this symbiotic relationship, Luo Mu still finds it very strange.
After observing the pair of mice for a while and seeing their nervous expressions, Luo Mu readily agreed to their joining.
There is no other reason.
This Pokémon, which is good at teamwork, seems to be very suitable for cleaning and sharing some of the pressure with Chiron. What's more, after evolving, they can even learn a move called "General Cleaning".
The Holy Body of Innate Housekeeping!
This alone is enough reason for Luo Mu to agree to their joining.
It's vulgar, but very practical.
All the treasures he recommended were successfully added to the farm. The little blacksmith clenched his fists with an expression of "that's great".
As long as it keeps proving its worth, it can climb to a high position and become the indispensable Pokémon beside Luo Mu. In this way, isn't it, the little blacksmith, also indirectly achieving its dream of becoming the king of the mountain?
Thinking of this, the excited little blacksmith glanced at the three gophers and the pair of rats.
Just work hard, okay?
The four Pokémon naturally knew what the little blacksmith meant. They nodded cautiously, then looked at the excellent environment of the farm with longing eyes and were no longer so cautious.
After handing a pair of rats to Zhi Huixing and three three-eared rats to Chong Ni Pulling Horse, Luo Mu returned home and talked to the little blacksmith about the last two tough bones in the hill.
The Dark Lord tribe and the Flame Queen Lizard tribe.
The simplest method might be to drive them away by force, but that goes against the laws of the Padya region. This path cannot be taken and will not work.
Fortunately, Lord Serpent had already planted the seeds in the Houndoom group. In the past two days, it often took Milotic to run there, and it should have achieved certain results.
In addition to being introduced to Miss Junsha and the Alliance as police dogs, the group of Hounds were also used as shepherd dogs in the ranch area.
However, given the current size of the ranch area, there are probably nearly a hundred Dalupi and Houndoom in total, which is really too much to "eat".
Luo Mu still prefers to keep a few reliable ones and introduce the others to the Alliance and the police station. Or if they are willing to move to another wild area to live, he can arrange that.
The same is true for the Flame Queen Lizards. The Lotus Crown King saw many caves in Xueza Town, which are very suitable for their lives.
