Chapter 259: Novice Protection Period and Slowpoke

On April 25, a day had passed since Luo Mu returned from the Padiya Pit.

Butler Zhihuixing had already prepared a report on the farm's situation in the past few days.

The new fruit trees that Luo Mu had originally planned to introduce had been transported and planted. They were still the three-piece set of orange, peach and pomelo. Although these tree fruits were common, they were also the most versatile. The total number had increased to fifty, which could be considered a small orchard.

In addition, there were some trivial matters, such as the chickens in the chicken house, who recovered from the stress under Oliva's loving care and continued to peck at the ground heartlessly.

In the morning, after finishing most of the work, Luo Mu, as usual, carried the milk bucket and milking tools, sat on the back of the thunder drum, and walked over slowly.

The grass on the farm was particularly fertile and tender under the nourishment of the white fluffy grass field, and the nutritional value contained was probably also very high.

The two lambs were small when they came, but now they are about to grow horizontally.

And Miltank has completely let go of himself. With his herbivorous characteristics, his extraordinary ability to digest grass has surpassed Moltres, and he has become the most gluttonous Pokémon in Luo Mu's farm.

This also allows Miltank to have sufficient milk every day, because if the milk accumulates too much, it will cause engorgement, and it must be squeezed out for Miltank on time.

In the past few days, I asked Zhihuixing to handle it. From today on, Luo Mu will have to do it himself.

Thinking of this, Luo Mu looked at the thick golden hair under his crotch and the rope tied on it, as well as the milk buckets that collided with each other as Thunder Drum walked. Even he didn't expect Thunder Drum to be willing to help carry goods.

If Dr. Olin, Dr. Futu and President Ye Ci knew that he could let the "violent" ancient paradoxical Pokémon help him work, even they would probably be surprised, right?

Once communication is established, in addition to the arrogance of dragon-type Pokémon, the temperament of Thunder Drum is not fierce, and it is even a little lazy.

As Luo Mu observed yesterday, Thunder Drum especially likes to lie down by the Thunder Lake to bask in the sun, licking its fur slowly, just like a large cat.

It seems to like the feeling of the sun covering its body, which may be related to Thunder Drum's characteristic "Ancient Activity".

Luo Mu remembers that except for Gulerton and Milerton, the characteristics of the Paradox Pokémon are unified. The characteristics of the ancient Paradox Pokémon are "Ancient Activity", and the characteristics of the future Paradox Pokémon are "Quark Charge".

The former's best ability will be increased by 30% on sunny days or when carrying props driving energy, and the latter's best ability will be increased by one level in electrical fields or when carrying props driving energy.

According to the conclusion drawn by Dr. Olin on that day, Flying Thunder has a unique talent in special attack direction, and also has the physical fitness and strength of dragon-type Pokémon.

Such Flying Thunder can fully serve as the main force of the King-level trainer.

Because it has a high intelligence different from other paradoxical Pokémon, most Pokémon in the farm only regard Flying Thunder as a big guy with a particularly tall head and a new member, and there is no fear of it.

This is probably because Pokémon do not know the ferocity of the Pokémon in the zero zone, and Flying Thunder's own efforts.

It is very adaptable to the external environment, and can tolerate Frost Milk Fairy Salt Stone Pokémon playing on its back. It has an absurdly good temper.

Thinking of this, Luo Mu stroked the thick but smooth hair of Thunder Drum under him and whispered: "If other paradoxical Pokémon are like you, the dream of Olin and Dr. Fortu can come true."

Thunder Drum's long neck turned slightly, thinking about the guys in its memory. Compared with those violent and barbaric guys, it is the real alien.

On the contrary, the little guys in this farm are very cute.

Soon, Thunder Drum came to the pasture area, and the eagerly waiting mounts and Milk Tank surrounded it directly.

Luo Mu took off the props from Thunder Drum, first milked the two mounts with low milk production, and then it was Milk Tank's turn.

Pah~ Pah~ Pah~

"How is it, is the strength appropriate?"

Luo Mu looked at Milk Tank with a face full of enjoyment, and squeezed Milk Tank's milk-producing organ from top to bottom rhythmically.

"Milu~"

Under the bright sunshine, the big milk can squinted his eyes and responded to Luo Mu's question with a look of enjoyment.

"Haha, it seems that I asked a nonsense question."

Luo Mu smiled, and continued to squeeze the milk from the big milk can into the milk bucket under the watch of the lambs who had finished their work.

From the reactions of the big milk can and the lambs, it can be seen that Luo Mu's milking skills are getting better and better.

After the initial curiosity, the thunder drum on the side lost interest in Luo Mu's milking movements, but to be honest, it tasted the small cup of mooing cow's milk and goat's milk that Luo Mu scooped out, and it tasted very good. It has never drunk anything so delicious.

At this time, Meng Lei Gu was staring at the fertile grass growing on the ground. Luo Mu said that the lamb and the milk can were fed with milk produced by this. He had not eaten grass yet. He didn't know how it tasted.

Curiosity got the better of him, and he tried it. Then-

Pfft!

What is this mixture full of sweet and earthy smell?

Can such delicious milk be produced by just eating this?

Meng Lei Gu was in deep doubt.

After milking, it was almost time for lunch. Luo Mu hung several full milk buckets on Meng Lei Gu and fixed them. He said goodbye to the milk can and the lambs who were basking in the sun comfortably, and called Meng Lei Gu, who was inexplicably bitter, to go home together.

After lunch, Luo Mu received Papa, who had contacted him beforehand.

Papa's mood improved a lot. As soon as they met, he bowed 90 degrees to Luo Mu and said gratefully: "Brother Luo Mu, thank you for saving my parents."

"It's okay, it's just a small favor." Luo Mu smiled slightly and stretched out his hand to rub Papa's smooth hair. "As agreed, in return, you have to accompany me to go fishing this afternoon."

Papa was particularly frank this time. He didn't say that patting the head will make you grow shorter. He nodded gently and responded in a low voice: "Okay."

The fishing location this time was not in the stream near the farm. Luo Mu stated in advance that he was not worried about the nonsense of Magikarp eating buffet.

He just wanted to change the place to fish. He couldn't hang himself on a crooked tree, right?

Papa had no objection to where to go fishing. When Luo Mu packed up a bunch of miscellaneous fishing tools, in addition to the Roentgen cat who went with him, Luo Mu called down a blue jay from the sky.

Papa discovered that the blue jay had three scratches on its chest feathers, which looked like they were made by a bird Pokémon. Was it captured by Luo Mu?

Speaking of which, he did see several blue jays hovering over the farm, and he thought they were wild Pokémon.

Noticing Papa's questioning gaze, Luo Mu introduced: "It is Sanmao, the leader of a wild blue jay tribe. The blue jay tribe has signed a friendly cooperation agreement with the farm, and ten blue jays are dispatched every day to guard the farm's sky."

"Many flying Pokémon that want to fly into the farm to steal crops and fruit have been driven away by them. They are very reliable."

Moreover, the cost of hiring each blue jay every day is only a few fruit, which is very cost-effective!

Of course, Luo Mu didn't say this in front of Papa, as Papa wasn't old enough to accept the dirty thoughts of adults.

"Quack~"

After drinking a can of Moo Moo Milk prepared by Luo Mu, Sanmao, who had been taking private jobs and eating alone without telling his tribe, flapped his wings and flew in front with a flattering look to lead the way for Luo Mu and his group.

The location where Luo Mu planned to fish this time was provided by Sanmao. It said that the river was near the territory of the Blue Crow tribe, and it was far larger than the stream where Luo Mu usually fished, both in terms of aquatic resources and scale.

In addition to fishing, there might be a chance to catch a particularly rare aquatic Pokémon or something.

Luo Mu was looking forward to it.

Papa released the Mastiff Godfather from the Poké Ball and asked the Mastiff Godfather to follow him like the Roentgen Cat.

After walking about halfway, Papa suddenly said, "Brother Luo Mu, speaking of it, the academy will reopen tomorrow."

Luo Mu paused and blinked, as if Ye Ci had mentioned this to him before when he came out of the Padiya Pit. Oops, he accidentally forgot.

Fortunately, Papa didn't notice Luo Mu's expression, but continued, "I heard that the academy has replaced most of the teachers, and nearly one-tenth of the students have dropped out. Not to mention the teachers who made mistakes, Principal Mu Fei and some teachers have also resigned."

"I don't know how the new principal and teachers are."

There was a little uneasiness in Papa's tone. For him, after a half-month vacation, the familiar teachers and principals were changed.

Luo Mu thought it was normal for Papa to have such thoughts. Recalling the faces of those competent teachers and principals in the game, he said solemnly, "I think it will be very good."

Papa's lips moved.

Luo Mu added: "After all, this time, President Ye Ci personally interviewed and confirmed the teachers and principals from beginning to end. You just need to continue your campus life with peace of mind."

"Yes!"

After getting Luo Mu's answer, Papa nodded heavily, and the uneasiness in his heart disappeared a lot.

"Quack~"

The blue jay, who had finished leading the way, waved its wings to Luo Mu and the others, and then turned around and flew back to the dense woods in the distance.

That was the territory of their tribe. Just looking from the outside, Luo Mu didn't see any shortage of resources. Although the blue jays wouldn't lie to him in such a place, Luo Mu still decided to go into the forest when he had time.

However, now just enjoy the fishing time and relax, after all, you have to go to work again tomorrow.

Luo Mu smiled and looked at the calm lake in front of him, which was sparkling under the sunlight. This is indeed a good place.

After finding a good spot with shade from trees, Luo Mu took Papa to sit on the soft grass, while Roentgen Cat and Godfather Mastiff lay lazily under the tree.

The sun shone through the tree canopy, casting mottled shadows on Roentgen Cat and Godfather Mastiff. Time seemed to slow down, and Luo Mu enjoyed this peaceful time.

Luo Mu prepared two fishing rods, one of which was his old friend that he had used for many years. Recently, he felt that he could gradually resonate with his old friend. Maybe one day, his fishing rod could also produce a spirit.

Papa's fishing rod was a small fishing rod that Luo Mu bought specifically for his size. It was okay to play in a small pond, but it was not good enough in front of this lake.

Luo Mu was ready to catch a big fish himself, and then teach him how to fish under Papa's admiring and worshipful expression.

It should be like this -

Two hours after starting fishing, Luo Mu looked at the float on the lake that had not responded for half a day, then looked at the pitiful little fish in the bucket next to him, and then looked at Paipa, who had a ruddy face and caught another big fish, and fell into complete silence.

Something is wrong, something is wrong. Is the bond between him and his old friend so fragile?

Could it be that this is the so-called novice protection period, which allows Paipa to catch big fish continuously?

Just when Luo Mu was doubting his life, Paipa chose to add fuel to the fire.

"Brother Luo Mu, my bucket can't hold the fish anymore. Your bucket seems to be empty. Lend it to me."

Luo Mu: ! ! ! !

Seeing the clear eyes of Papa, Luo Mu suppressed his guess whether this kid did it on purpose, and said weakly with his head drooping like a defeated rooster: "Take it and use it."

"Thank you~"

Papa took the bucket and placed it between the two of them, put the fish he just caught into it, and then skillfully put the bait on and swung the rod.

If he didn't really know anything at the beginning, Luo Mu would have suspected that this kid was pretending to be a newbie.

Is this the secondary professional talent of a future chef? I'm so envious.

Just as Luo Mu was secretly sad, the bushes next to the two of them suddenly rustled.

The guy in the bushes didn't seem to have any intention of avoiding people. His slightly fat pink body slowly crawled out of the bushes and sat directly next to the two of them.

Luo Mu & Papa:?

"Is this. Slowpoke?"

The Pokémon in front of him was pink all over, with curly ears, and its mouth was cream-colored. Two small teeth could be seen on the upper jaw of the slightly opened mouth.

Its most distinctive feature is its large, round eye sockets. Its pupils are small, which makes Slowpoke's eyes look particularly dull.

Slowpoke has short limbs, and each of its hands and feet has a claw that is not sharp. It looks completely non-aggressive. Its long tail sways slightly in the air, exuding a pleasant sweet fragrance.

Piper raised his head and sniffed the air with his nose, muttering, "I always feel a sweet smell."

"Ya Lu~"

Slowpoke is not shy at all, and it makes a long-toned cry, as if it regards Luo Mu and Piper who are fishing as its own kind.

Slowpoke drops its tail into the water, and it looks like it is trying to catch something, but its expression does not change at all, and it remains in a dull state.

Luo Mu: "."

This is indeed in line with his stereotype of Slowpoke.

Papa couldn't help but ask, "Brother Luo Mu, what is Slowpoke doing?"

"Is it playing with water with its tail?"

Papa's question hit the point. Luo Mu thought for a while and said, "It might be fishing. Don't look at Slowpoke like this. It is a fishing expert. The sweet fragrance you smell is secreted from its tail. This smell can attract food or Pokémon to bite Slowpoke's tail."

"However, there are also Slowpokes that fish for evolution. I don't know which kind this Slowpoke is."
