Knock, knock.
Outside the window, a messenger bird tapped on the window.
Natsume opened the window.
“Hehe~”
On the messenger bird's back was a small vest called "Flying Bird Breakfast."
Wild messenger birds would carry food wrapped in their tails.
Because their tails are hollow, they can carry a lot of things.
Moreover, messenger birds have a habit of sharing food.
They would share the food they collected with stranded humans and elves.
They are truly natural delivery personnel.
“Hehe~”
The messenger bird pulled out the takeout Natsume ordered from its tail.
“Thank you, messenger bird.”
After thanking the bird, Natsume opened the takeout box.
“Mini~”
Mini Dragon and the others immediately gathered around and began to receive their share.
The messenger bird looked at everyone eating the food it brought, with a happy smile on its face.
“Hehe~”
The messenger bird bowed to Natsume before flying out of the window.
After breakfast, Natsume hailed a flying taxi and returned to his farm.
“Chuan chuan~”
Diglett was very energetic.
As soon as it came out of the Poké Ball, it began to wave its claws, ready to work hard.
Natsume said: "No need to plow the land yet."
"We're going to start planting today."
Natsume then took out the Wondrous Wheat seeds.
The one-hundred square meter plot was quickly sown.
"Next is watering."
"Mini Dragon."
Natsume said to the Mini Dragon beside him, "Use the Rain Dance skill."
Mini Dragon swam to the middle of the field.
It raised its head and fired an energy bullet towards the sky.
Dark clouds began to gather.
Pitter patter~
Rain fell.
"Chuan chuan~"
"Awoo."
Houndoom and Diglett hurried into the house next to them.
One is a Fire-type Pokémon.
The other is a Ground-type Pokémon, naturally they wouldn't like rainy days like this.
Natsume glanced at his phone.
In the Farm Story game screen.
A circular icon appeared in the paddy field, spraying water.
The water flows inside the icon.
Once it flows around the circle, it represents completion of watering.
"That's enough, Mini Dragon."
"Fwoo~"
Mini Dragon roared towards the sky again, dispelling the rain clouds.
Natsume opened the system store.
He clicked to purchase the Time Accelerator.
Time Acceleration: Four Months.
Required Poké Coins: One Hundred Thousand.
Natsume clicked confirm.
The next moment, an amazing scene appeared.
In the field, the Wondrous Wheat seeds began to sprout, then quickly grew at a visible speed.
The stalks began to grow, slowly turning yellow, until they bent over.
The Wondrous Wheat ripened.
The entire plot was a golden expanse.
"We did it."
Natsume pumped his fist and said happily, "Next we'll finish harvesting."
Natsume picked up a sickle and said to Diglett, "Diglett, let's get to work."
Diglett looked at the Wondrous Wheat and licked its lips.
Its eyes were wide with amazement.
Wondrous Wheat is very popular with land-based Pokémon.
For land-based Pokémon, Wondrous Wheat is like putting a steaming bowl of rice in front of a very hungry person.
"Diglett?"
Natsume called to Diglett again.
"Chuan chuan."
Diglett responded immediately, waving its claws.
"It seems very likely that wild Pokémon will be attracted."
Natsume muttered, then said to Houndoom and Mini Dragon: "Houndoom, Mini Dragon, be on guard."
"Awoo!"
Houndoom let out a howl, then began to patrol around the plot.
Mini Dragon followed Natsume, its gaze also became alert.
"Diglett, here's a Storage Ball for you."
Natsume handed a Storage Ball to Diglett: "After you cut the stalks, press this, it will automatically collect them."
"Chuan chuan~"
Diglett took it, then ran to the other side to start harvesting.
Natsume swung his sickle and cut a bunch of stalks.
Ordinary rice needs to be threshed to be edible.
But Wondrous Wheat doesn't need to.
After harvesting, Pokémon can eat it directly.
This one hundred square meter plot can yield about two hundred kilograms of Wondrous Wheat.
The market price of Wondrous Wheat is between 300 and 500 yuan per kilogram.
If sold at 300 yuan per kilogram, Natsume could earn sixty thousand yuan.
This price definitely wouldn't make any money.
After all, the cost of the Time Accelerator is too high.
But Natsume's main reason for choosing the fast-track method this time was the task reward of the Constant Growth Force.
From another perspective: an investment of one hundred thousand, and the final harvest is sixty thousand plus Constant Growth Force!
Of course, the final selling price will depend on the final quality.
"Ao~hou!"
Houndoom suddenly let out a low growl.
A group of Rattata ran out of the grass.
They stared intently at the Wondrous Wheat that Natsume had just planted.
【Trigger Task: Wondrous Wheat Defense】
【Task Description: Mature Wondrous Wheat will attract the plunder of land-based Pokémon. Please defeat them and finish harvesting.】
【Task Reward: Experience Candy *3 that provides a small amount of experience; Dragon Gem *1】
After reading the task reward, Natsume immediately said: "Diglett, you continue harvesting."
"Mini Dragon, we'll go help Houndoom."
"Mini~"
Mini Dragon followed Natsume towards Houndoom.
"Ratz!"
In front of Houndoom, a dozen or so Rattata were staring intently at Houndoom, ready to attack at any moment.
Natsume looked at the levels of the Rattata.
Their average level was below 10, not too difficult to deal with.
"Ratz!"
The Rattata attacked!
Natsume immediately commanded: "Mini Dragon, Dragon Breath!"
Mini Dragon took a deep breath, and Dragon-type energy quickly gathered.
"Whew!"
The Dragon-type energy surged towards the Rattata like a gust of wind!
The powerful breath energy sent two Rattata flying backwards, and two others were instantly paralyzed.
Dragon Breath Effect: Has a chance to paralyze the Pokémon.
Natsume immediately threw Poké Balls at the four Rattata.
They could be sold at the Pokémon Market.
Besides, not everyone can freely catch and sell Pokémon.
In this world, there are many protection laws regarding Pokémon.
If you break the law, you can go to jail.
However, as a farm owner, Natsume has the right to dispose of Pokémon that invade his farm.
"Awoo!"
Houndoom spat sparks at a Rattata.
The sparks hit directly!
The next moment, Houndoom's body caught fire.
Flame Wheel!
