Chapter 323: Moon-Viewing Watermelon Picnic

Back home, Zhihuixing was flapping its leaf fan, using telekinesis to control the oval green-skinned black-striped fruit to rinse the dirt in the kitchen sink, and then neatly stacked it in a fruit basket beside it.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Luo Mu's eyes lit up, and he quickly ran to Zhihuixing, gently patting the surface of the watermelon, listening to the "dong dong" sound that represented maturity, and looking at the full fruit baskets in the living room, he was filled with emotion.

Perhaps this is the so-called watermelon freedom.

Even if he couldn't get up from the toilet tomorrow, Luo Mu was determined to make a sumptuous watermelon feast for tonight's moon-watching.

Rolling up his sleeves and putting on an apron, Luo Mu called Cang Yan Blade Ghost who was silently practicing sword skills outside the house, and immediately planned to show his skills.

First of all, we have to determine the menu for tonight.

Since watermelon is the protagonist, it is natural to make as many different watermelon foods and drinks as possible.

The first is the most classic watermelon juice, which is very simple to make.

Just take out the pulp, squeeze out the juice with a juicer, and then remove the pulp and watermelon seeds.

Of course, if you like the taste of the pulp, you can leave the pulp.

Depending on your personal taste, you can add some three-bee honey for seasoning, or mix it with Moo Moo fresh milk or goat milk in a fixed ratio to make watermelon milk, or prepare some tea leaves to make tea water, remove the tea leaves, and mix it with watermelon juice to make watermelon tea that many milk tea shops would sell before Luo Mu crossed over.

With the Blue Blade Ghost, Luo Mu selected the watermelon and placed it in front of it. As the Blue Blade Ghost completely converged the heat of the sword body, the Blue Blade Ghost flexibly swung the sharp purple sword in the kitchen. But after a while, the watermelon was perfectly peeled, leaving only the tempting red flesh, and even the juice inside had not flowed out.

Then, the Blue Blade Ghost helped Luo Mu deal with nearly ten watermelons. The red flesh lined up on the kitchen table exuded the unique fruity fragrance of watermelon, which made people salivate.

But this was only the first step. Luo Mu found a clean wooden barrel and placed it there. He put a layer of filter cloth on it and cast his eyes on Zhi Huixing who was eager to try, indicating that it could start to move.

Zhi Huixing nodded slightly and waved his fan gently. His telekinesis instantly attached to the watermelon flesh, lifted it up and placed it on top of the barrel. As Zhi Huixing began to increase the power of his telekinesis, the watermelon flesh was compressed inward by the powerful force, and the juice kept dripping down. The watermelon seeds were blocked by the filter cloth, leaving only the purest watermelon juice.

During this period, relying on Zhi Huixing's wonderful control of telekinesis, not a drop of watermelon juice fell on the kitchen floor, wall or ceiling.

In this way, Luo Mu, Cang Yan Blade Ghost and Zhi Huixing worked together, one picked watermelons, one cut watermelons, and one acted as a juicer to squeeze watermelon juice.

In just two hours, dozens of barrels of watermelon juice were squeezed out, filling the ground around the kitchen.

In Luo Mu's menu, most of the food needs watermelon juice when making, which is also the most basic preparation procedure, and it cannot be sloppy.

Next, Luo Mu took out the specially purchased popsicle mold, poured watermelon juice into it, and inserted a wooden stick into it, and handed it to the waiting Pokémon such as Monarch Snake, asking them to take this batch of popsicle molds to the ice cellar and hand them to Vulpix and Sandsang for freezing.

Next is watermelon smoothie and watermelon ice. In order to make this, Luo Mu specially bought several ice machines specially for making ice. After the returning Monarch Snake brought some ice cubes that Luo Mu had frozen there in advance, Luo Mu began to demonstrate to Monarch Snake and Zhihuizhi, teaching them how to use the ice machine.

Watermelon ice and watermelon ice seem to be just two words swapped, but they are actually not the same thing.

Watermelon ice is a drink that is poured into the ice machine with watermelon juice, ice cubes, milk or yogurt and stirred into ice. The taste will be very rich.

The watermelon smoothie is a simple blend of watermelon and ice cubes, without adding milk or yogurt. It is a pure experience of the coolness brought by the smoothie, which is more suitable for cooling off in the hot summer.

After trying two smoothies and shaved ice, Luo Mu took out some Q-version molds, such as Q-version Pokémon in the shape of Pikachu, Charmander, and Togepi, which are very cute.

This is a jelly mold, which is used to make watermelon jelly with watermelon juice as the main material. Just pour an appropriate amount of watermelon juice into the mold, sprinkle an appropriate amount of jelly powder or gelatin tablets, and finally inject a little water and send it to the ice cellar for freezing.

The operation is very simple. Zhihuixing even learned it after just one look, and he can also assist Luo Mu on the side.

The last dish is one of the most common ways to eat watermelon.

Wash and cut watermelon and various fruits and tree fruits, and then add an appropriate amount of yogurt, honey or salad dressing according to taste to make a delicious fruit salad.

Considering the herbivorous Pokémon such as Deere, Mudhorse, Lamb and Milky Can, Luo Mu also prepared some vegetables, which can be mixed into fruit and vegetable salad for them in the evening, which is both fat-reducing and delicious.

Luo Mu felt that these menus were enough to shut up the Pokémons and dazzle them.

In the middle of the journey, Frostmilk seemed to be planning with Victini to make a huge fruit cake, and asked for several watermelons from Luo Mu. Luo Mu didn't care, just looking forward to the surprise tonight.

The preparations lasted until seven o'clock in the evening. After a busy day, Luo Mu supported his bent waist and received a massage from Zhihuixing. After a comfortable day, Luo Mu looked up and looked out the window.

In winter, the days are short and the nights are long, while in summer, the days are long and the nights are short.

At this time, the sky was not only not dark, but even the sun seemed to be emitting a warm halo as if it had not set at all.

Luo Mu was not in a hurry to go out. It would be better to go out when the night fell completely and the moon was hanging in the starry sky.

After all, they were going out for a picnic, so they had to choose the best time to go out.

According to Sanmao who found the area, there is not only clear stream water, but also an open lawn that is almost completely open to the sky, and some small insects with green light have gathered there recently.

Luo Mu thought that the small glowing insects Sanmao saw were likely fireflies. After hearing this news, Luo Mu changed the original plan to have a dinner near the watermelon field and decided to gather in the watermelon field. From there, they would go to the wild, which is not too far away, and have a picnic watermelon banquet to enjoy the moon in the wild!

Enjoying the massage with appropriate strength from Zhihuixing, Luo Mu took a nap. When Zhihuixing woke him up, the sky was completely covered by the night, and the twinkling stars were hanging on the dark curtain. It was almost ten o'clock in the evening.

This time, all the Pokémon in Luo Mu's farm came out in full force, but considering that the farm must be guarded by Pokémon, Luo Mu divided the Pokémon into two groups, one to guard the farm, and the other to follow him to enjoy the moon and the stars. After a while, the two sides exchanged and replenished the consumed watermelon dishes.

The perfect picnic spot that Sanmao found was about ten minutes away from the watermelon field.

When Luo Mu and the Pokémon arrived with large and small bags of food, they were stunned by the beautiful scenery in front of them.

On the quiet and gentle grassland, the night unfolded like a picture scroll in the eyes of Luo Mu, Roentgen Cat and other Pokémon.

It happened to be a cloudless night, and the bright and boundless starry sky was reflected in the eyes of the two Hu Hus who were accompanying them, as if the entire universe was displayed in front of them at this moment.

The fruitworm looked up at the sky, the stars were shining, like countless sparkling diamonds inlaid on the black sky, and at this moment, the fruitworm had a desire to fly up to the sky and watch the beautiful scenery more closely.

But it couldn't fly yet, so it could only ask Tropical Dragon to take it to the sky.

A bright moon hung high in the sky, casting a soft silver moonlight. Its light was reflected on the grass and the nearby stream, making every blade of grass sparkle with crystal luster. The stream was also sparkling under the moonlight, like a silver ribbon winding and flowing.

Mimikyuu, Frostmilk, Mahua Dog and Flower Therapy Ring closed their eyes and enjoyed the moonlight. As fairy Pokémon, they have a close connection with the moon, and can even use a move called "Moon Power" to attack with the power of the moon.

In the bushes on both sides of the stream, as Sanmao said, numerous fireflies flickered with faint light, dancing in the night sky, as if stars fell into the world.

These tiny lights complemented the starry sky and the bright moon, forming a beautiful picture.

Victini, White Puff and Three Bees stared with wide eyes, not wanting to miss this dreamlike beauty at all.

The night wind blew past, taking away a trace of heat from Luo Mu.

Watching the Pokémons move around, he smiled, and with the help of Chihui, Monarch and Swampert, he spread out a huge picnic blanket, took out a series of semi-finished or sliced ​​watermelon desserts and drinks that had been prepared long ago, such as the smoothie machine, from the space backpack, and called the Pokémons who were enjoying the beautiful scenery to come and enjoy.

Victini, Fruitworm, Dragonite, and Vulpix, several immature children, surrounded Luo Mu, King Serpent, and Chimp, eagerly waiting for them to slowly crank the smoothie machine, and they were very anxious.

Hu Hu siblings hid behind them and looked around, and seemed to be very interested in watermelon smoothies and watermelon smoothies.

Just when the Pokémons were about to make trouble, Fruitworm and Dragonite were glared at by King Serpent, and they shrank their necks like quails and waited obediently.

Victini and Vulpix were frightened by Luo Mu's kind eyes, and they remembered that they still had to rely on Luo Mu for food, so they didn't dare to act rashly.

On the contrary, Hu Hu siblings were very well-behaved. Although they looked at the smoothie machine eagerly, they never showed any impatience, and they were so well-behaved that it made people feel distressed.

Annoyed by the eager stares of several Pokémon, Luo Mu took out a few watermelon popsicles from the mold beside him, took out some watermelon jelly and placed them in front of them, and sent them to play first.

You know, it is impossible to make hand-cranked smoothies and ice cream for dozens of Pokémon on the farm so quickly. After all, these two things are not popsicles and jellies that can be prepared in advance, and can only be made on the spot.

It's fine that there's no electric smoothie machine in Pingdie Town. Until now, Luo Mu still doesn't understand why there's no electric smoothie machine for sale in the huge Padiya region, even though he went to Niangguang City and searched the largest shopping malls!

Although he knew that the technology tree in the Pokémon world was very crooked, Luo Mu almost couldn't hold it back when it was crooked to this extent.

If he had known earlier, he would have bought some multi-functional juicers. He remembered that the one that could not only make smoothies but also milkshakes.

When he was tired of shaking, Luo Mu drank a sip of sweet and refreshing watermelon juice, chasing the Pokémon playing and fighting on the grass, with a smile on his face that he didn't even notice.

After Luo Mu shook out another bowl of smoothie, Frost Milk Fairy came to Luo Mu and showed his signature smile of wanting to try something.

Although Frost Milk Fairy is still helping Luo Mu, it spends more time improving its cooking skills and learning how to make desserts.

Luo Mu thought it might give him some surprises, so he made way for the Frosty Milk Fairy to perform.

Frosty Milk Fairy put some sugar, mooing milk and a few drops of guanan fruit juice into the smoothie machine, shook it for a while, poured the slightly yellowish smoothie into the bowl, and then used his ability to make a layer of cream to cover the smoothie, and finally put a strawberry on it.

It seemed to imply that the taste of this smoothie was just like strawberry, sweet with a little sourness.

"Is this... cream smoothie?"

Luo Mu widened his eyes and looked at the Frosty Milk Fairy curiously.

"Maeve~"

Frosty Milk Fairy nodded gently, leaned over to sniff the taste of the smoothie, and then rolled his eyes around. He handed the smoothie to Luo Mu with a smile on his face, indicating that Luo Mu should taste it first.

Luo Mu was also very curious about what the cream smoothie with sour guanan fruit juice added to the Frosty Milk Fairy tasted like. He picked up the spoon and scooped it up together with the cream and smoothie, and quickly put it into his mouth.

In an instant, a simple and rustic, yet very present taste bomb exploded in Luo Mu's mouth!

The taste buds were first attracted by the sweet cream and the cool shaved ice. Then, as the temperature of the mouth made the shaved ice melt, a perfect sweet and sour taste blended perfectly with the sweet cream, creating a wonderful taste that neither made people feel greasy with cream nor sour with shaved ice.

Luo Mu looked at Shuang Milk Fairy in surprise, and praised him generously: "Good! You are getting better and better at matching flavors!"

After receiving the compliment, Shuang Milk Fairy held her cheeks and was very happy. She took the bowl and spoon from Luo Mu and couldn't wait to take her new product to find other friends to taste.

In a forest close to the mountain a little away from the lawn, it was extremely quiet, with only a continuous chopping sound.

There were no Pokémons moving around in the quiet woods. The reason was that the Pokémon holding a pink-purple sharp blade at the edge of the woods was constantly fighting with its simulated imaginary enemy. The sharp blade in its hand slashed on the mountain covered with countless slash marks, and each strike went three-tenths into the stone, leaving deep marks.

This Pokémon was the paradoxical Pokémon - Iron Warrior, who failed to challenge the Blue Blade Demon and chose to practice alone, and then choose another day to fight with the Blue Blade Demon.

Since the failure of the challenge to the Blue Blade Demon, Iron Warrior found a quiet place not far from the farm where the Blue Blade Demon was located, and where he could practice his sword skills at will.

At first, there were some wild Pokémon living in this forest.

But when Iron Warrior moved in, these Pokémon gradually disappeared.

Of course, Iron Warrior did not attack these wild Pokémon. It had no interest in swinging its blade at the weak unless the other party attacked or provoked it.

Just like when it was practicing in the wild of a town with many caves before, a Pokémon identified as Bankiras showed hostility and desire to attack it passing by, and the Iron Warrior directly killed the opponent, and chose to leave only after the opponent lost the ability to fight.

This time, the Iron Warrior was just practicing in the depths of the woods, and those wild Pokémon chose to escape because they were afraid of its power.

This is just right for the Iron Warrior, so that no other movement will disturb its practice.

Continuously waving the pink and purple sharp blade, the Iron Warrior's mood, which should have been calm, was irritated by a certain existence.

This clan. No, at least the current individual, was born with the source code instruction to explore the pinnacle of swordsmanship.

The so-called pinnacle of skills naturally does not allow any defeat in this way.

But on that day, after being defeated, it should have lost the meaning and value of continuing to exist, but the Azure Blade Ghost made it fight again next time, and the purpose it lost due to defeat was re-imprinted on the code that maintained its operation.

After that, in addition to replenishing electricity, the Iron Warrior kept practicing every minute and every second with the Azure Blade Ghost in the database as an imaginary enemy.

But the more he practiced, the more irritated the Iron Warrior became. He had clearly calculated the sword skills that could defeat the Azure Blade Ghost 100%, but he didn't want to move at this time.

Once he really defeated the Azure Blade Demon, would it mean that the individual who had already been defeated would once again lose the purpose of supporting his survival?

In the heart of the Iron Warrior, an emotion called "greed" was inexplicably born.

With a shocking buzzing sound in the air, the Iron Warrior swung the pink-purple sharp blade and instantly split the boulder blocking the road in two. When he stopped to adjust his breath, he suddenly heard some movement coming from not far away.

Thinking about whether he needed to conduct a practical exercise, the Iron Warrior looked up, and the powerful data eye was like a high-precision camera, constantly zooming in on the location where the movement came from.

When he saw it clearly, the Iron Warrior's movement froze.

A Pokémon wearing dark purple armor and holding two flaming swords was cutting the green-skinned and black-striped elliptical sphere. Based on the characteristics of the opponent, the Iron Warrior could determine that the opponent was the individual who defeated him.

After looking at the pink-purple sharp blade in his hand, the Iron Warrior rarely crashed for a long time, and then slowly walked in that direction.

Under the beautiful starry sky of the summer night, Luo Mu finally finished the hand-cranked smoothies and iced ices, and let every Pokémon taste this heat-relief weapon. Finally, he had some free time.

Holding a piece of watermelon that he had specially picked, Luo Mu found Vulpix and put the watermelon in the cool stream. Vulpix used the freezing wind to cool the watermelon and the surrounding stream water, and quickly made a piece of iced watermelon.

Luo Mu found the Blue Blade Ghost again and asked it to help him split the watermelon in two.

Then, he handed the other side of the watermelon to Zhihuixing who had been busy with him for a while.

Holding half a piece of watermelon, Luo Mu held a spoon and looked at the Monarch Snake who was strictly teaching the Fruitworm and Tropical Dragon to learn grass-type moves. Luo Mu smiled, scooped a large spoonful of the pulp with almost no watermelon seeds, and quickly put it into his mouth.

In an instant, the most original taste of the watermelon burst in Luo Mu's mouth, making him reveal a look of enjoyment.

Looking up at the starry sky, Luo Mu sighed: "Although the processed watermelon desserts and drinks taste good, the original watermelon tastes the best."

Without using superpowers, Zhihuixing nodded and showed an expression of approval while slowly digging the pulp.

Although various human craftsmanship has given different foods many ways to make them, for these Pokémon, the original flavor is also particularly attractive.

After appreciating the starry sky enough, Luo Mu lowered his eyes and looked at the stream beside the lawn. At this time, the Frog King and the Frog King were playing in the stream, and the four Milk Cans were rolling around on the lawn with a slightly fat Milk Can. Victini was flying happily in the firefly group like a child who had never seen the world.

It has been in this state for an hour.

It can be seen that Victini should not have seen so many fireflies when he was in Eindoak. Or he has never seen fireflies at all.

"I've never seen so many fireflies before."

Before crossing over, it was hard to see fireflies or even butterflies in big cities. Even if there were, he didn't have the time and energy to pay attention to these natural beauties because he was busy with his 996 life.

The night sky in the city is always covered by dark clouds, occasionally revealing the original appearance of the sky, but the twinkling stars are extremely sparse.

I don't know if it's because the night is getting darker, the fireflies that were just like stars are getting more and more, and they are about to fill the grass near the stream.

Under the starry sky, the fireflies are like a second slowly flowing stream, as if they are the reflection of the Milky Way in the sky.

A light and beautiful summer melody came from afar. Perhaps in the grass somewhere, there are a few red insect performers, playing their carefully composed melodies under the moonlight, expressing the emotions in their chests.

"It's so beautiful!"

In the quiet night, Luo Mu sighed, and the fatigue of a day's work was completely cured at this moment.

Roentgen Cat slowly came to Luo Mu's side, slowly lying beside Luo Mu, silently accompanying him from beginning to end.

Luo Mu's eyes followed the movement of Victini in the firefly group.

He saw the stream and Psyduck and Slowpoke, who were staring at each other blankly, also cast their dull eyes to the sky because of the gathering of fireflies.

Marilu, Lulili, and Yoyo Sugar Ball just lay quietly in the stream, feeling the breeze blowing from the night sky, and admiring the beautiful scenery of the gathering of fireflies in ecstasy.

Time seemed to have completely stopped at this moment. The Pokémon who shared this sky and this planet with Luo Mu admired the beautiful scenery that they could never get tired of, and enjoyed this quiet moment.

Roentgen Cat looked up at the sky, and energy flowed in his golden eyes. These eyes not only could see through, but also gave Roentgen Cat excellent vision.

In the night sky it saw, the stars were even more colorful. Roentgen Cat remembered that Luo Mu had mentioned this Pokémon.

Their name was Little Meteor.

A dark figure was tumbling in the night sky like a dragon. Even though it was far away, Roentgen Cat could still vaguely feel the other party's outstanding pressure.

But the Roentgen cat was not afraid. It looked at Luo Mu, who was concentrating on enjoying the beautiful scenery and the free summer night melody, with a gentle look, and a hint of determination appeared in its eyes.

Just like the promise made when they first met.

Sooner or later, it will touch the unreachable legend in the sky.
