Chapter 268 The Power of Maturity, the Frost Milk Fairy Who Has Completed Her Training!

The sun was hanging in the clear blue sky, and the bright sunshine sprinkled on the green grass, like a net woven by golden threads.

The breeze gently blew across the grass, bringing the unique fresh fragrance of green grass. The three-meter-long body of the Monarch Snake was curled up leisurely, and around it were the fruit gnats and tropical dragons that had left the newborn stage after half a month.

The appearance of the fruit gnats has basically not changed. At most, the shell pattern is different due to the change of the boarding apple.

The tropical dragon has changed a lot. The body that was originally only about one meter tall has grown to about one and a half meters with sufficient nutrition intake, getting closer and closer to the average size of its tribe.

After half a month of raising a child, the Monarch Snake can be said to have completely resonated with the hard feelings of Moltres when he raised Caterpie.

New Pokémon are always full of anxiety, and they need the "mother/father" they trust to be around at all times to feel at ease. Thanks to this, the Monarch Snake had to temporarily return to its room that it had basically never lived in to raise the baby alone.

After all, Luo Mu has been busy with students recently, and the night is an important time for sleep. Monarch Snake can't let the two new Pokémon, Fruitworm and Tropical Dragon, who don't know how to control their emotions, influence Luo Mu.

After taking care of the baby for half a month, Monarch Snake has learned a lot about the personalities of Fruitworm and Tropical Dragon.

Fruitworm is a little timid. When the group of blue jays responsible for vigilance fly over in the sky, Fruitworm will be scared and shrink into the apple.

Even if Monarch Snake calls Sanmao to show that it is harmless and non-hostile, Fruitworm's natural fear of bird Pokémon still exists.

This makes Monarch Snake doubt the authenticity of Luo Mu's saying that Fruitworm's attributes are grass and dragon.

Why does the Tropical Dragon around him have Dragon in his name, but his attributes are grass and flying? Monarch Snake is very puzzled.

Tropical Dragon's personality is a bit like Caterpie, full of curiosity, courage, and very lively. Recently, he has begun to practice flying ability. Monarch Snake has no way to teach it in this regard, so he can only ask Dragonite to take time to come every day to teach.

Just finished lunch, now is the quietest time of the day for them. New Pokémon sleep for a long time during the day, and Monarch Snake vaguely remembers that it seems to have that period.

Footsteps sounded behind him, and Monarch Snake, who closed his eyes while absorbing sunlight energy and thinking, opened his eyes. He didn't need to guess that the road paving workers were resting at this time, and the only one who could walk around the farm besides Pokémon was Luo Mu.

Luo Mu seemed to have noticed that the fruit worm and the tropical dragon were sleeping, and his steps slowed down consciously. He found that Monarch Snake looked up at him, and Luo Mu whispered: "I will take the fruit worm to the orchard to test its ability."

Monarch Snake's eyes fell on the small bottle of Moo Moo Milk mixed with three bees honey that Luo Mu brought, and nodded slightly, indicating Luo Mu to take the fruit worm away.

Half a month has passed, and it has roughly figured out the hobbies of the fruit worm and the tropical dragon.

The fruitworm likes sweetness very much, and three-bee honey is its favorite, but it can't eat honey alone. At the suggestion of the housekeeper Zhihuixing, they chose to mix three-bee honey into Moo Moo milk to make honey milk.

As long as there is honey milk, and Luo Mu often comes to take care of the fruitworms, the timid fruitworms will not be afraid even if they leave him.

After taking the fruitworm from the monarch snake, Luo Mu held the palm-sized apple and walked towards the orchard to look at the fruitworm sleeping sweetly on his palm. Luo Mu rubbed the apple skin with his fingers, and then pressed it hard a few times, and concluded-

Well, it's hard.

With his current strength, if it were an ordinary apple, it would have been pressed out of a dent, but the apple where the fruitworm lived didn't feel like that at all.

Luo Mu remembered that it seemed to be to protect the fragile body. The fruitworm used its own body fluids to strengthen the hardness of the apple skin, which made the fruitworm's defense race value eight times that of the happiness egg.

It's outrageous.

The fruitworm seemed to have sensed a slight bump and woke up once. It panicked for a moment, but quickly calmed down after realizing that Luo Mu was taking it. It poked its two eyes out of the apple and looked around curiously, as if wondering where Luo Mu was going to take it.

The Pokémon with the small eyes of the fruitworm had too many emotional fluctuations. Even if the expression was not blocked by the apple, Luo Mu could guess what the fruitworm was thinking.

After weighing the fruitworm on his palm, Luo Mu smiled and said, "You have almost finished eating the flesh in the apple again? I'll take you to pick an apple you like and try your characteristics by the way. The monarch snake should have taught you how to trigger the characteristics, right?"

"Chirp~"

The fruitworm's apple-like eyes curved, which was its unique way of nodding.

The fruitworm has three characteristics, "mature", "glutton" and the hidden characteristic "bulletproof".

After Luo Mu's test, the fruitworm showed no traces of the "glutton" and "bulletproof" characteristics, which means that its characteristics are likely to be the "mature" characteristics that Luo Mu wants most.

He has not heard of the existence of characteristic capsules and characteristic plasters, two items that can change characteristics. In a sense, the characteristics of Pokémon are innate and cannot be changed.

The effect of the ripening property in the game is to ripen the fruit and double its effect.

Does this mean that the fruit gnaw has the power to ripen the fruit, or even enhance its effect or nutrition?

Luo Mu thought it was worth trying.

When he arrived at the orchard, in addition to the initial batch of fruit trees, the newly planted fruit trees had already produced green fruits. It seemed that there was still some time before they matured, which was just right for experimenting with the ability of the fruit gnaw.

But before that, Luo Mu first brought the fruit gnaw to the small apple orchard he specially bought and transplanted next to the fruit tree, and let it choose an apple it liked to move.

There were not many apple trees, only a dozen or so. Considering that the fruit trees would domineeringly rob the nutrients of ordinary apple trees, Luo Mu also specially separated the apple orchard from the orchard.

As soon as it arrived at the apple orchard, the fruit gnaw jumped off Luo Mu's palm excitedly. I don't know how it did it. It quickly controlled the apple shell and climbed onto the apple tree, carefully selecting the apple it liked.

Luo Mu picked an apple, wiped it with the corner of his clothes and took a bite. It was crisp and sweet, and the juice burst in his mouth as he chewed.

This was a high-quality apple tree that he specially selected for transplantation. The price of one tree was higher than the fruit tree he bought.

However, looking at the happy look of the fruit gnawers on it, Luo Mu felt that the money he spent was worth it.

The fruit gnawers compared for a long time, and finally picked a big, fleshy, and juicy apple. They trembled and got into it to complete the move.

Luo Mu returned to the orchard with the heavy fruit gnawers in his arms, and happened to run into the mosquito-repellent frog king who came to water the orchard.

"Niulu~"

The mosquito-repellent frog king stopped summoning the rain cloud, and his eyes fell on the fruit gnawers in Luo Mu's arms. He tilted his head and looked at them curiously.

Luo Mu pointed to a fruit tree with immature green fruits: "Let's test the power of the fruit-biting insect's characteristics, just like your rain."

"New~"

The Mosquito Frog King showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, clapped his palms and turned his body to the side, as if to let Luo Mu and his friends do the work first.

"Then I'd rather obey you than be respectful."

Luo Mu smiled, moved the ladder used for picking fruits from under a fruit tree, leaned it against the trunk of a pomelo fruit tree, and climbed up with the fruit-biting insect.

The fruit-biting insect also knew what it needed to do. It found a pomelo fruit that still had some green taste, and according to the method taught by the monarch snake to actively trigger the characteristics when the conditions were met, it used all its strength on the pomelo fruit!

"Chirp! Chirp! Chirp--"

Perhaps the fruit worms could not see clearly with their eyes closed, but from the perspective of Luo Mu and the Frog King, it seemed that a firefly-like light spot appeared on the fruit worms, which turned into a light band and merged into the pomelo fruit.

Then, something magical happened.

The pomelo fruit changed at a speed visible to the naked eye, from the stage of green fruit to the mature stage, and grew into a plump pomelo fruit with a faint fruity fragrance!

Luo Mu and the Frog King both opened their mouths slightly at this magical scene, with shock on their faces.

Fruit worms really have the power to ripen tree fruits!

So what is the effect after ripening?

Before exploring this question, Luo Mu first opened his arms to catch the fruit worms that were unable to stand on the tree branch due to their weak body, and were pulled to the ground by gravity because of the imbalance of the center of gravity of their body.

After all, he was not a superpower, so Luo Mu could only hold the fruit worm in his arms tightly, thinking about the current height, thinking that he would at least break a bone today.

As countless small bubbles gathered, a huge bubble caught Luo Mu as a buffer and bounced him to the grass not far away. Except for a little pain in his butt, he was miraculously not injured.

"Chirp."

Luo Mu glanced at the fruit worm in his arms that made a weak sound. Fortunately, it was fine, otherwise the monarch snake would be sad.

Then, Luo Mu turned his head to look at the mosquito-repellent frog king who was looking at him worriedly. Knowing that it was it that made a big bubble with foam light to save him, he smiled and said: "Thank you, mosquito-repellent frog king."

"Niulu~"

Seeing that Luo Mu was in good condition, the mosquito-repellent frog king shook his head. This was what he should do. Then, the mosquito-repellent frog king cast a worried look at the fruit worm again.

How is it?

"The fruit worm is fine, but it seems a little weak now."

Luo Mu held the fruit worm and fell into thought.

The fruit-eating worm seems to be still very weak now, so it has exhausted its strength and fallen into a weak state after ripening just one pomelo fruit. It seems that the plan to strengthen the fruit trees in the entire orchard still needs to wait for the fruit-eating worm to grow up.

Luo Mu stood up, entrusted the fruit-eating worm to the mosquito-repellent frog queen, stepped on the ladder again, and picked the pomelo fruit ripened by the fruit-eating worm. For comparison, he also specially picked another pomelo fruit that had not been ripened by the fruit-eating worm from the ripe fruit tree on the other side.

The pomelo fruit contains a weak but gentle healing energy. Pokémon and humans will feel a noticeable sense of physical recovery when eating the pomelo fruit.

Luo Mu first broke the unripe pomelo fruit into three pieces, handed the largest piece to the Mosquito Frog King, kept the medium-sized piece for himself, and fed the small piece to the fruit-eating worm.

This is not because he is partial, but the fruit-eating worm does not eat much, and it cannot eat large pieces.

As the pomelo fruit enters the stomach, in addition to the taste and taste that resembles a pear, a warm current rises from the lower abdomen and automatically flows through the limbs and bones, and Luo Mu's originally painful buttocks pain is relieved a lot.

Afterwards, Luo Mu followed the same method to divide the pomelo fruit after the fruit-eating worm ripened and swallowed it into his stomach.

This time the warm current was much larger, and the feeling of physical recovery and pain relief was much stronger than the previous pomelo fruit.

Even the taste was better than the previous pomelo fruit.

To put it in an analogy, it is like the difference between ordinary delicious fruits and special fruits that are carefully planted, cultivated, selected and finally put on the table.

Luo Mu and the surprised Mosquito Frog King looked at each other, and this time they really picked up a treasure!

The characteristic effect of maturity can indeed be applied to tree fruits. Luo Mu seemed to see a brand new way to make money spread out in front of him!

After the pomelo fruit was eaten, the weakness of the fruit worm was relieved a lot. Facing the eyes of Luo Mu and the Mosquito Frog King who looked at the treasure, it tilted its head hidden in the apple and made a puzzled sound.

"Chirp?"

After Luo Mu returned to the small villa with the fruit worm, the Mosquito Frog King puffed up his throat and made a penetrating chirp to the sky.

"New--!!!"

The dark clouds gathered and the rain flowed.

The heavy rain moistened the land of the tree orchard, and the Mosquito Frog King stared at the sky blankly, constantly reviewing whether there was anything imperfect about this rainfall.

Thinking of the words that Luo Mu left before he left, the Frog King showed a determined look. After a while, it will soon be the doubles partner of Swampert.

We must work harder!

It's decided. After the work is done, I will go to find Dragonite and Haxorus for special training!

Luo Mu, who returned to the small house, was stopped outside the kitchen by Frost Milk Fairy. He was holding a cute face and chewing fruit worms. Luo Mu's expression was also stupid.

"You said you have completed the training?"

"Maeve!"

Frost Milk Fairy nodded gently, pushed Luo Mu's calf and forced him to sit at the dining table and wait. Just watch its performance.

After a while, Frost Milk Fairy was full of happiness and brought a well-decorated cake that looked full of beauty in front of Luo Mu.

The cake that Frost Milk Fairy brought was wrapped in a layer of chocolate shell, which reminded Luo Mu of the cake he shared with Korni in the Kalos area. It seems that it deliberately imitated the taste at that time.

But as Frosty Milk Fairy cut the cake, Luo Mu showed a surprised expression: "This is really a bold innovation."

Under the chocolate shell is the cream with milky flavor and snow salt flavor that is unique to Frosty Milk Fairy.

There is another 4,000 chapters to be updated, which should be at midnight.
