Magikarp surfaced, its eyes smiling, its tail gently slapping the water's surface.
Following closely behind is the ugly fish, whose brown body is not very noticeable in the clear lake water, and from a distance it looks like a piece of mud at the bottom of the lake.
Good morning, Ugly Fish.
Fang Gu gently touched Ugly Fish's forehead.
Although the Band-Aid used there as a talisman was lost in the last battle with the Giant Crab, it discovered an even more powerful talisman.
"Gululu!"
A rare hint of anger appeared on Magikarp's face, as if it were accusing Feebas of its behavior to Fang Gu.
"What happened to Magikarp?" Fang Gu asked with a curious expression.
Meanwhile, the pufferfish had submerged its head in the water, leaving only its eyes visible as it observed Fang Gu and the Magikarp.
Through this action, Fang Gu already knew that this matter was most likely related to Ugly Fish.
Fang Gu sensed the emotions transmitted by Magikarp through the power of aura, and with the understanding he gained from spending so much time together, he was able to piece together the general outline of the situation.
Ever since the battle with Crab Kingler, Feebas has stuck to Magikarp, and now Magikarp always has a little follower around him.
This prevents it from training freely and comfortably.
I'm going to become the Magikarp that soars through the skies like a Gyarados, you bastard!
How can we let a tiny, ugly fish hold us back!
"Gululu~"
The pufferfish blows bubbles, clearly indicating that Magikarp is its latest talisman. As long as Magikarp is by its side, it can sleep peacefully.
"Your relationship seems to be quite good."
Fang Gu chuckled and immediately offered Magikarp a suggestion.
"How about you try exercising with Ugly Fish?"
Fang Gu's words caused Magikarp's originally indignant eyes to suddenly become dull, before slowly clearing up.
Yup!
Why didn't I think of this method?
As expected of his own trainer!
Magikarp leaped out of the water, excitedly agreeing with Fang Gu's statement.
"Then the training is in your hands, Magikarp Coach!"
"However, as a beginner, Ugly Fish shouldn't start with too high a difficulty level!"
Fang Gu gave the Magikarp some instructions, then patted his mount, the little lamb, and mounted it to patrol the next area.
After Fang Gu left, Magikarp began to communicate with Feebas.
"Glug glug!" [Ugly Fish, let's train together!]
"Gurgle..." [Training... what's the use of training...?]
"Gurgle!" [Training can make you stronger.]
"Gurgle..." [I just want to... live a simple, ordinary life...]
"Gurgle!" [Then you need even more training! Let me see your current level! Try using the jump first!]
Magikarp urged Feebas to give it a try. Feebas was silent for a while, then worried that Magikarp would dislike it, but finally decided to give it a try.
The ugly fish first slid down to the bottom of the lake, then mustered all its strength and began to frantically swing its fins and tail.
The ugly fish's speed kept increasing.
The moment the pufferfish reached the surface of the lake, its speed was comparable to that of a running Tauros.
As the ugly fish leaped into the air, the golden sunlight fell upon its body, making its originally ugly body appear as if it were coated with a layer of gold.
As Magikarp watched Feebas leap so high, a strong sense of crisis arose in his heart.
The ugly fish was able to jump as high as it had before.
With some training, I might be able to surpass myself.
"thump."
"Gurgle." [How's it going?]
Ugly Fish looked at Magikarp and asked.
"Gurgle." [Ahem, not bad.]
Magikarp tried to appear calm.
…………
After patrolling many areas of Stardew Valley Ranch, Fang Gu arrived at the final destination.
In front of the cabin, Fang Gu tumbled off the back of his little lamb and stretched.
After touring so many places, I'm feeling a bit tired.
The fruit trees in the orchard are growing vigorously. In just one night, they have already reached the height of Fang Gu's shoulder, and it is estimated that they will be taller than Fang Gu in another night.
Two days later, the three honeybees can pollinate the tree, and the fruit will grow the day after pollination.
This is the incredible growth rate of the tree fruit.
"The strawberries in the fields will be ripe soon." Fang Gu rubbed his stomach, feeling a little hungry. "Wait, I'll treat myself to something nice when we get back!"
Fang Gu wore a happy smile. The life of a rancher was so pleasant. If there were no future crisis in the Kalos region, he would want to stay with Pokémon and Stardew Valley Ranch forever.
Just as Fang Gu reached the front of the cabin, he saw a gray-blue figure rush into his arms.
"quack!"
Fang Gu gently stroked the duckling's damp feathers and asked softly, "Duckling, what are you doing?"
The silly duckling rubbed against Fang Gu's chest and then pointed to the location of the aviary on the small wooden house.
This intimate gesture made Bulbasaur's instructor a little jealous.
Since evolving, Bulbasaur can no longer just jump into Fang Gu's arms for a hug like it did when it was Bulbasaur.
In other words, Bulbasaur is now extremely envious of the baby duck in Fang Gu's arms.
Fang Gu looked towards the aviary, where another baby duck was spreading its wings high. After a series of "quack quack" sounds, it also swooped down.
Fang Gu reacted quickly and also scooped up the other baby duck in his arms.
"So you two little guys were practicing flying."
The two baby ducks in Fang Gu's arms nodded in unison.
Both Duckling and Gullwing are Water/Flying type Pokémon. Since the Gullwing Gang entered Stardew Valley Ranch, Duckling has become an unofficial member of the Gullwing Six.
Led by the long-winged gulls, the ducklings, who were originally uninterested in flying, also began to develop an interest in it.
However, due to their physical structure, baby ducks cannot fly for long periods of time; at most, they can only glide for a short distance.
However, once they evolve, they can become dancing swans capable of long-distance flight migrations!
"Brother, we have a guest!"
Fang Gu, who was holding the baby duck, suddenly heard Fang Xiaolu's voice.
Not far away, Fang Xiaolu and Lance were standing together.
Chapter 172 Lance's Request
Fang Gu quickly invited Mr. Lance into the cabin, then took out various dried fruits made from small stones from the counter and poured Mr. Lance a cup of tea.
"Please, Mr. Lance," Fang Gu said, extending his hand with a polite smile.
Not far away, the cream puffs were still battling with the flower petals in the bowl.
She was following Fang Gu's orders to mix these flowers with glutinous rice flour and grind them up.
This is a new dessert that Fang Gu plans to make.
Lance put the dried cherry in his hand into his mouth, then took a sip of hot tea, and his entire face relaxed.
"Dried fruit and hot tea are simply the most perfect combination in the world."
"Especially after work, having a small cup of comforting tea is really relaxing."
Fang Gu sipped his hot tea and gently rubbed Riolu's chin, which made a comfortable "whoosh" sound.
Immediately, Fang Gu gently tossed a dried cherry into the air.
The dried cherry drew a graceful arc in the air, and just as the arc was about to descend, Riolu pounced to catch it as if using a super-fast move.
"So, Mr. Lance, is the restaurant missing any ingredients this time?"
Fang Gu joked with Lance, "If it were potatoes, I'm afraid I wouldn't have many left."
Lance's face flushed slightly as he used the hot tea to shield his face; the rising steam from the tea seemed to emanate from Lance's head.
After hesitating for a while, Lance finally spoke.
“This time, I’m going to give you a share of the profits. Your ad was a huge hit.”
"I have never seen guests so numerous that Starlight Restaurant and Bar couldn't find a place to stand."
"Isn't that a good thing?"
Fang Gu opened his mouth and put a dried fruit into it. The sweet taste quickly spread throughout Fang Gu's entire oral cavity along the tip of his tongue.
"To put it simply, I've been so busy that I have to go straight to sleep as soon as I finish work. Luckily, I have Amy to help me, otherwise I don't know what I would do."
Lance wore a look that was both funny and exasperated.
Fang Gu became interested. If what Lance said was true, wouldn't his share of the profits be an astonishing figure?
Sure enough, the next moment, Fang Gu's Meow Meow Treasure received a message.
