Not a trainer this time

At noon, the Green Onion Duck, which had practiced all morning's green onion skills, found Zhishu with sweat profusely, and began to look forward to what kind of moves it would learn today.

Green Onion Duck had a vague premonition that it would have great luck today, and maybe it would suddenly realize the move it wanted.

"He's really a big gambler." Naoki couldn't help complaining.

All the tree fruits at home were eaten by the Green Onion Duck yesterday, so he didn't make a fruit platter for the Green Onion Duck in the morning.

Just now he directed the Motorized Lizard to go to the orchard and pick a basket of fruit.

Naoki placed the fruit basket on the dining table, took out a few fruits from it, cut them into small pieces with a kitchen knife, and made three fruit platters.

"How was the morning practice? Have you learned all the forgotten moves?" Naoki asked.

Green Onion Duck nodded: "Gah!"

It has practiced the one-word slash countless times before, and has already memorized the method and techniques of using this move, and is completely able to master it with ease.

Therefore, it re-understood it in one morning and gained new insights into this move.

Naoki was a little surprised. It seemed that this scallion duck was very proficient in cutting with one stroke!

At the same time, he was also somewhat curious in his heart. If Green Onion Duck could train Yi Zi Zhan to a state of perfection, he would firmly remember it in his heart and mind.

So the question is, will the fruit platter make it forget this move?

With this thought in his mind, Naoki came to the grass outside carrying several fruit platters.

Seeing that the green onion duck was about to start eating, Zhi Shu patted his head and suddenly stopped it.

Green Onion Duck turned back in confusion: "Huh?"

"Wait for me!" Naoki turned back to the kitchen and found the lucky pudding he had made for Baby Bear from the refrigerator.

Glancing down, the information about the lucky pudding appeared in his mind.

[Lucky Pudding (A): A dessert made with happiness in mind, made with whipped cream, low milk and sweetness.

Cooking effect: good luck. After eating it, the luck will increase slightly for a short time. After eating it, the Pokémon will have an increased chance of picking up rare items while traveling.

Evaluation: Delicious desserts can make people feel happy after eating them and can easily bring good luck. ]

"If you eat the lucky pudding first, and then start eating the fruit platter, you might be able to increase the probability of understanding the move." Naoki thought about the linkage of the two different dishes.

He handed the lucky pudding to the green onion duck and said to it: "Eat this first. This can improve your luck and make you luckier."

Luck is a very mysterious thing.

In addition to good things happening in everyday life, it can even come into play in battle.

For example, if you are lucky enough to avoid the opponent's moves, or use a move that successfully hits the vital point, causing something like understanding.

The Green Onion Duck ate the lucky pudding, and then stared at the three fruit platters in front of him while holding his breath.

In the first part, Scallion Duck realized the shadow clone.

For the second portion, the scallion duck forgot to chop it.

The third copy...

Just after eating the last fruit platter, Green Onion Duck suddenly showed a painful expression on his face.

Its body suddenly flashed with a white light, and a terrifying force gathered crazily.

Naoki's eyelids twitched, and he felt a bad premonition in his heart.

He subconsciously ducked backwards.

The next second, a violent explosion came from the Green Onion Duck, and the terrifying impact directly blew away the surrounding turf.

Naoki was shaken by the impact of the explosion and lay on the ground holding his head. When the sound disappeared, he stood up in shock to check.

Looking at the scallion duck lying in the center of the explosion with his eyes spinning in circles, Naoki immediately understood what was going on.

That move is a big bang!

Big Bang: A normal move that causes a big explosion to attack all Pokémon around you. The power is as high as 250, but you will fall into a near-death state after using it.

"What a terrifying power..."

This was the first time for Naoki to see a Pokémon use Big Explosion in real life. Judging from the appearance of Scallion Duck, this move must be very painful for the user.

I don't know if Qishu's naughty thunder bomb will explode, but Naoki feels that even if Qishu knows it, he won't let it use it, because this move is very harmful to the body.

He exhaled and called Gu Ledun to feed the green onion duck with the milk of life.

Soon, the green onion duck recovered.

But it didn't look happy. Although it had learned two new moves, they were not what it wanted.

The Green Onion Duck was unwilling to give in. It clenched the green onions in its hands and stood up again.

no! Come again!

But its belly was already bulging with three fruit platters and one lucky pudding.

Naoki was speechless: "Forget it, you should take a rest first and digest the food in your stomach before talking!"

"Gah..."

The Scallion Duck felt his belly and felt that this was the only way to go.

But instead of resting, it turned around and plunged into the dummy area, holding green onions in its hands and chopping at the wooden stake dummies.

I have become proficient in the technique of using the one-word slash. The green onion duck has a strong posture. The green onion in my hand is constantly sweeping and chopping, and shuttles among the dummies.

I don't know how long it took, but a layer of milky white light gradually enveloped the green onion full of traces of battle.

White light flashed, forming a bright "one" light blade, hitting the dummy's body.

Green Onion Duck looked at the green onions in his hand with some confusion.

How does it feel... that it is more proficient in mastering the one-word slash than before?

In the afternoon, Naoki was thinking about expanding the ranch, so after lunch, he took the Motorized Lizard to the town to visit Mayor Thomas.

Naoki asked the Motorized Lizard to talk to its parents. The Motorized Lizard nodded happily, walked up to his father and mother, rubbed his neck with them, told them about his current situation, and said that he liked his current life very much.

Naoki and Mayor Thomas sat down on the sofa. Mayor Thomas's wife brought two cups of tea to Naoki.

"Thanks."

Naoki politely thanked him, and then asked Mayor Thomas about purchasing land.

After hearing his purpose, Mayor Thomas looked very surprised: "You want to expand the pasture?"

Naoki nodded: "Well, more and more Pokémon are coming to live in the ranch, and the current ranch is not enough."

"That's it!" Mayor Thomas seemed very happy. He sighed: "You are much better than your grandfather! He will be very happy if he sees this day."

After all, that ranch was the old man's lifelong effort, and Mayor Thomas felt that he definitely didn't want to see the ranch abandoned.

Naoki pursed his lips and chuckled, but said nothing.

"Of course there is no problem in buying land!" Mayor Thomas asked with a smile: "Where are you planning to buy?"

Naoki: "The area across the river happens to be an open and flat wasteland, very close to the pasture. As long as a bridge is built across the river, the two places can be merged."

After hearing what he said, Mayor Thomas immediately knew which piece of land it was.

He nodded, and then carefully told Naoki about the land purchase.

"The general price of this kind of undeveloped land is 400,000 Union dollars per acre. However, the Padia Union has preferential treatment for agriculture and animal husbandry. It encourages ordinary people to develop wasteland. Ranchers can enjoy agricultural subsidies, which will be much preferential. Probably around 300,000 alliance coins.”

Zhi Shu nodded. Three hundred thousand alliance coins per acre of land was not too expensive.

Over the past year or so, he has also saved a lot of property and can buy several acres of land.

"Will I have to pay taxes or something later?" Naoki asked again.

Mayor Thomas shook his head: "It's not that urban land does not need to be taxed, because the land in the wild is undeveloped land, and the Padian Alliance will not help you develop it, nor will it send people to maintain it."

"After you purchase the land, the land belongs to you, including subsequent land maintenance and infestation by wild Pokémon. You need to deal with it yourself."

For example, wild Pokémon destroy farmland, knock down fruit trees, and rob crops.

Having said this, Mayor Thomas said with a smile: "However, with the strength of your Pokémon, I believe these things will not be a problem."

Naoki smiled and nodded, thinking that was not the case. No matter what Pokémon they were, as long as they came to the pasture, they would never come back!

There is an old saying that goes well - orcs will never be slaves unless they have food and shelter!

"If you want to buy, I can accompany you to the Land Management Bureau in town to submit an application now, and then someone will go there to measure the scope of the land and give you a price." Mayor Thomas said.

"No need." Naoki didn't want to trouble the old man any more: "I can go there myself. These are fresh milk produced from big milk tanks in the pasture. I hope you like it."

Saying that, Naoki placed a pack of moo milk on the table.

Although the quality of his milk is not as good as goat milk, the quality is still very high.

Mayor Thomas had helped him a lot in the past two years and even gave him a motorcycle lizard as an assistant. It was appropriate to give him some gifts.

Mayor Thomas showed a kind smile on his face: "You kid, you are here and you bring gifts..."

Naoki stood up and shouted over there: "Motor Lizard!"

"Gah!"

The Motorized Lizard responded immediately, then said goodbye to his parents and ran back to Naoki.

Naoki touched its head and said goodbye to Mayor Thomas: "We won't disturb you anymore. See you later, Mayor Thomas!"

Mayor Thomas smiled and nodded: "Go ahead and come to me if anything happens!"

Naoki responded, turned around and left with the Motorized Lizard.

Mayor Thomas looked at his back and couldn't help feeling very emotional.

This child has really grown up!

After careful calculation, Naoki is already in his twenties this year. If he gets married and starts a family, I believe his parents and grandfather will be completely relieved in another world.

*

The Bureau of Land Management is very efficient. After hearing about Naoki's intention, they immediately sent someone to go to the ranch with him to measure the land.

After careful measurement, the management staff told Zhi Shu the scope and price of the land:

"This piece of wasteland has a total of thirty-five acres, including nine acres of mountainous land. Including farmers' subsidies, it requires a total of 8.7 million alliance coins."

Thirty-five acres... is much larger than the previous pasture. The two pieces of land add up to a total of fifty acres.

Although the price is a bit expensive, fortunately, the ranch has made a lot of profits over the past year. Coupled with the increase in the price of goat milk and the sale of rock salt, the milk in large milk tanks is better than the quantity.

Zhi Shu now has a lot of savings on hand, which is barely enough to buy this land.

After thinking for a moment, Naoki nodded and said, "Then this is the place."

Just kidding, it’s permanent, there’s no need to pay taxes, and it’s still at this price. If he doesn’t want it, he will regret it for the rest of his life!

"Okay, then please follow me back to the Land Management Bureau to register." The staff member grinned: "We will register your information and identity data on the Internet. After that, this land will completely belong to you. .”

Without saying much, Naoki immediately took his bank card and went to town with the other party.

By the time we returned to the ranch, the balance in our bank card had been emptied.

But even so, Naoki was still very excited.

Because the land on the other side of the river is officially included in the pasture from now on.

He asked Gu Ledun to take him across the river and came to the other side where the ducks lived.

Standing on this vast green grassland, Naoki felt unprecedented excitement in his heart.

This place will be his territory from now on!

Naoki did not ride Guluton, but ran freely on the grass.

Gullton, who couldn't understand why Naoki was so obsessed with the land, squatted on the spot in confusion.

It didn't understand, so it simply didn't think about anything. It yelled and happily followed Zhi Shu on the grass.

What should he do with such a big land?

Open a braided sheep ranch, build a tropical dragon orchard, plant more apple trees, and reclaim more farmland!

But there is another problem...

Zhi Shu's speed slowly slowed down. After the expansion of the pasture, the area became larger. It would take a lot of effort for him to get here just by relying on his leg strength.

Although he can ride Guluton, if apples are planted here in the future, how will the harvested apples be transported to the shipping box?

You can't use Guluton as an ox or horse to pull a cart, right?

Naoki fell into thought.

He thought of tractors used by farmers.

But he has never driven a tractor...

At this moment, a Pokémon that was more suitable for such a thing suddenly appeared in Naoki's mind.

That is Pronglum, who has steel + poison attributes!

If he remembered correctly, in the game Tianxing Village once transformed Pronglum into a special tank for the Tianxing team.

So the question is, can this Pokémon be transformed into a tractor and used to pull fruit from trees?

Beyond that, there's another problem.

This technology was modified by Ordiga in the Tianxing Team, and it also used the Red Lotus Armor Cavalry and the Blue Flame Blade Demon as the power source of the chariot.

Three Pokémon at once, this one belongs to Pronglum, another one belongs to Crimson Lotus Armor, and another one belongs to Blue Flame Blade Demon. It’s too extravagant...

It feels like letting Groudon, the god of earth, come to farm the land.

"Forget it, don't worry about it now." Naoki shook his head and put these thoughts back in his mind.

Now that he had just bought the land, it was too early to think about the tractor before even seeing the shadow of the apple tree.

Take your time, don't rush, as long as everyone is here, there will be bread and milk.

The most important thing now is to order wooden fences from Keri to surround the entire land, and to build a bridge across the river to connect the two pieces of land.
