"and many more!"
In the secret garden, Bulbasaur had just stretched out its vines to pick the daffodil when Fang Gu stopped it.
Fang Gu, with his sharp eyes, had already noticed the unusual appearance of the yellow daffodils.
The petals, resembling a princess's dress, shimmered softly in the sunlight, and a delightful fragrance wafted from between the flower's stamens.
Small flowers like daffodils, which can be found everywhere, don't actually have a very strong fragrance.
There must be some special reason why it has reached this level!
The next moment, the light emanating from the yellow daffodil burst forth to its peak. The yellow glimmer dispersed in the air, gradually transforming into green natural energy.
Bulbasaur's face was filled with astonishment as this power was continuously flowing into its body.
Just like Bulbasaur uses growth to transfer natural energy to the daffodil, only this time the roles have been reversed.
"What?! The flowers are giving you energy back?"
The natural energy transmitted by flowers is clearly purer.
Bulbasaur took a deep breath and couldn't help but let out a cry.
"Da na!"
Bulbasaur felt its body filled with natural power.
The slight fatigue it had experienced from using the growth skill had completely disappeared, and it even felt that it had gained a little more energy.
In total, the increased energy can unleash the "growth" skill twice more!
In other words, using the energy required for one growth to mature a yellow daffodil can yield the energy required for two growths.
Isn't this just the classic case of stepping on the right foot with the left?!
It's Bulbasaur! This time, Murkrow is going to take off in an airplane!
Seeing Bulbasaur's enthusiastic expression, Fang Gu waved his hand and said, "Bulbasaur, let's use the Growth skill on all the flowers in the Secret Garden!"
"Da na!!"
…………
After working tirelessly for nearly an hour, Bulbasaur collapsed on the ground in the Secret Garden, exhausted. It had been using the "Grow" skill on all the flowers in the Secret Garden, which had kept it very busy.
However, things did not go as smoothly as Bulbasaur and Fang Gu had imagined.
Only flowers that are about to bloom, after being given natural energy by Bulbasaur through the "Grow" skill, will give back natural energy to Bulbasaur. Flowers that are still growing will not give back natural energy to Bulbasaur.
The only flowers in the entire garden that were close to blooming were a dozen or so that had been "forced" to ripen by Bulbasaur over the past few days.
Bulbasaur used its Growth skill more than twice to grow these dozen or so flowers.
The greatest function of this secret garden may not be returning energy, but rather purifying energy through the flowers and returning it to Bulbasaur's body.
He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that Bulbasaur's skin and eyes were more profound, and its body was a size larger than when it first arrived. The seed on its back was also not completely closed like when they first met.
Could it be that……
"Anyway, come back and rest first."
Fang Gu took out a Poké Ball and recalled Bulbasaur.
Inside a Poké Ball, a Pokémon can quickly recover its stamina.
Although Bulbasaur doesn't like the space inside the Poké Ball, it's not a good idea for Fang Gu to keep holding the enlarged Bulbasaur.
"I'll release you when we get to Judy Ranch."
"Now, Bulbasaur, take a good rest."
Next destination! Judy Ranch!
Chapter 51 Fang Gu is disliked
Judy's ranch is located west of Crescent Moon Town, where there is also a large forest.
Judy's ranch is located between Crescent Bird Town and the forest.
Wooden fences enclosed large tracts of land.
Fang Gu could see through the fence that the cows in the pasture were grazing with their heads down.
Judy's ranch isn't the only one near Crescent Bird Town. There are actually quite a few villages nearby with many ranches as well.
Judy's ranch is the only one in the area that sells livestock Pokémon books, and it also serves as a Pokémon breeding center.
Fang Gu searched online and found that this was most likely because Judy was an elite trainer recognized by the league, and she was even one of Fu Ye's apprentices.
Fang Gu also saw his grandfather Fang Nan's name on the screen.
The text states that his grandfather was also a powerful trainer, and the league had once extended offers to both him and Fu Ye.
However, Fu-ye ultimately chose to join the League and became the Gym Leader of Wing City.
At his parents' request, his grandfather retired and returned to his hometown to help them raise him when he was still young.
Otherwise, I might also be a third-generation member of a museum.
Fang Gu shook his head and continued walking. He could already see a small wooden house connected by a fence not far away.
That's most likely the cabin at Judy Ranch where guests are received.
"Crack! Crack!"
Fang Gu clearly heard a slapping sound. He turned his head and saw a little girl with dark purple hair jumping rope under a big tree.
The little girl looked to be about the same age as Fang Xiaolu.
She wore a large bow on her head and had a serious look in her eyes.
"One hundred, one hundred and one, one hundred and two..."
Is this Judy's child?
Perhaps this little girl could become Fang Xiaolu's playmate in Ancient Moon Bird Town. Fang Gu doesn't want Fang Xiaolu to stay at Stardew Valley Ranch for too long.
Humans are social beings, especially energetic children like Fang Xiaolu.
Fang Gu didn't want her to become too immersed in the virtual world.
The little girl seemed to notice Fang Gu as well, and stopped jumping rope in her hand, looking at Fang Gu with a wary expression.
The little girl instinctively felt a little scared of this person she had never seen in town before.
Fang Gu smiled apologetically at the little girl.
Turning his head, he saw a scruffy man with a gloomy expression standing in front of him.
"Don't you have any work to do?"
This statement was clearly made by Fang Gu.
The latter instinctively exclaimed "Ah!" and the man walked to the little girl's side.
"Let's go, Nini."
"Don't talk to strangers when you're outside."
The man then took Nini back to the cabin at Judy Ranch.
Fang Gu scratched his cheek, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
Does this mean I'm disliked?
This was the first time Fang Gu had encountered a fellow villager who was hostile towards him.
"Never mind, it must be a misunderstanding."
Fang Gu shook his head and walked straight towards the cabin.
"Dong dong."
Fang Gu knocked on the door.
"Please come in." A mature female voice came from inside the door.
Fang Gu pushed open the door and saw a woman wearing green overalls and a headscarf, carrying a bucket of milk that was still warm in her hands.
She was clearly the Judy rancher that Foyth had mentioned.
"Hello, are you here to buy livestock or to leave your Pokémon?"
Judy asked gently.
She had never seen Fang Gu in the town and did not know that he was the new owner of Stardew Valley Ranch.
Just as Fang Gu was about to say something, he heard a familiar voice from the side.
"Oh, Fang Gu, you've finally arrived. That's just in time. I was about to go find you."
Foss appeared beside Judy, gave her a reproachful look, and then picked up the milk bucket with one hand and poured it into a large bucket to the side.
Foyth patted the large barrels. He explained to Fang Gu, "These milk barrels are collected every morning by companies from Biyi City. They're very fresh."
Judy covered her mouth, quite surprised, and said, "Is this Uncle Fang's grandson? He's grown up so much already."
"It looked very small in the photos back then."
The girl in the photo Fang Gu saw at Foyth's house was indeed Judy.
In other words, Judy and Foyth are childhood sweethearts.
Fang Gu vaguely remembered that when he was a child, his grandfather would often take him to the post office to send mail to Guyue Bird Town.
The emails naturally included photos of them from that time.
When Fang Gu was a child, he didn't understand. Every time he asked his grandfather, his grandfather would look in the direction of Stardew Valley Ranch and say, "In a faraway place, we have some relatives that you have never met."
This must be referring to the Fu family and Judy, the rancher in front of them.
Foss put the cleaned milk bucket aside and took out three shrunken Poké Balls from his pocket.
"These are the three Poké Balls your brother sent. I've seen them, and they're all male Bees."
