Fang Gu looked at the sky; there was about half a day left.
"I don't know if we can finish cultivating the farmland."
"Do you have confidence, Bulbasaur?"
Bulbasaur: (Looking very serious.JPG)
Fang Gu smiled slightly and gently rubbed Bulbasaur's head, "If Bulbasaur helps, it might really be possible to do it."
Chapter 10 The Battle Between Siblings
Noon, Stardew Valley Ranch.
A family of serpentine bears living near the ranch are using their keen sense of smell to search for food.
Suddenly, a strong fragrance wafted over.
They all looked in the direction of the fragrance; it was the male owner of the neighboring ranch returning home.
Fang Gu, who had just returned from Crescent Moon Town, was carrying large bags and small packages, with Bulbasaur behind him also "carrying a heavy load" as he moved forward.
From afar, Fang Gu could see two figures, one large and one small, busily working in the barren farmland of the ranch.
"Little Star, Frog Frog!" Fang Gu called out.
Fang Xing gritted his teeth, his clothes soaked with sweat, and struggled to lift a large rock from the field. The croaking frog followed suit and moved the rock by its own efforts.
They are dealing with the stones scattered in the field.
"elder brother."
When Fang Xing saw Fang Gu return, he wiped the sweat from his face with his shoulder and then wiped his hands on his clothes, leaving two dark handprints.
He then quickly walked to Fang Gu's side and took the bags and packages from his hands.
"Xiaoxing, why didn't you start before I got back?"
"And I remember you said you were going to stay and do skills training, right?"
Fang Gu pretended to be angry, but inwardly he felt a little sorry for her.
In response to Fang Gu's question, Fang Xing said proudly, "Our skills training is over, and now it's time for physical training. These stones in the field will be perfect as training tools for me and the Frog."
Fang Gu sighed helplessly; his younger brother was really not frank.
"Cuck!"
Even the Froggy Frog nodded, helping Fang Xing cover for him, and then raised its hand to begin gathering its skill.
A small, chaotic blue ball appeared in the palm of the Froggy Frog.
It is a water-based skill – Water Pulse.
Surprisingly, the Froakie actually learned the skill taught by the Lucky Kappa, and in less than half a day.
"It seems this Froakie has a unique talent for using skills," Fang Gu thought to himself, then frowned.
"But why is the water ripple generated by the 'Froggy Frog' so small?"
In the anime, Ash's Froakie's Water Pulse is as big as a soccer ball, while Fang Xing's Froakie's Water Pulse is only the size of a fist.
After carefully examining Froakie's condition, Fang Gu found the reason. He took a bottle of water out of the plastic bag Bulbasaur was carrying and unscrewed it.
"It's good to be willing to train hard, but don't forget to pay attention to your partner's condition."
Fang Gu gently poured water on the croaking frog, which squinted its eyes and made a comfortable sound.
Under the bright sun, the mucus covering Froakie, a Water-type Pokémon, is easily dried out, affecting its condition and causing dehydration. This is why Froakie's Water Pulse is only the size of a fist.
"Sorry, Frog Frog."
Fang Xing apologized to the frog in a dejected voice, blaming himself for being so focused on helping Fang Gu with his workload that he hadn't noticed the frog's condition.
"Quack!"
The frog squinted at Fang Xing to indicate that it was alright, and then arched its arms, showing the almost invisible curve of its biceps.
Froggy Frog felt his strength had increased a lot when moving stones! Froggy Frog even wanted to move stones with Little Star!
“Da na da na”.
Bulbasaur shook its head, extended a vine from under the seed on its back, lifted Froakie, and walked towards the hut.
Frog, listen to your big sister's advice, what you need most right now is rest.
Ever since Bulbasaur received a promise from Fang Gu, she automatically transformed into the big sister of Stardew Valley Ranch, taking care of everyone, without caring at all that Froakie was actually more senior than her.
Fang Xing stood there, still immersed in self-blame, until a cold sensation touched his cheek.
It was a bottle of frozen mineral water.
"Take this carefully, don't get heatstroke."
Fang Xing belatedly took the water that Fang Gu handed him.
Fang Gu looked at the barren farmland, a slight smile appearing on his face. He patted Fang Xing's head and said, "You must have been busy all morning. You've already helped out a lot at home. It looks like we can finish this in one afternoon."
"Anyway, let's go back and rest for a while. My sister should have cooked dinner and is waiting for us to come home."
"Mmm." Fang Xing gave a nonchalant "Mmm," but inside he was overjoyed.
You got praised by your brother, hehe, Fang Xiaolu, you should be envious and jealous!
Fang Xing unscrewed the bottle cap and took a small sip.
Ber sweet!
…………
When Fang Xing and Fang Gu returned to the cabin, they couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
In just one morning, Fang Xiaolu cleaned the house, which was originally a little dusty, until it was spotless. At the same time, Fang Xiaolu also made some personalized modifications to the house, making the small wooden house feel more like home.
By the window of the kitchen counter, there were succulents brought by Fang Xiaolu. A small blackboard was hung on the wall by the fireplace, which read "Today's task - Let's tidy up the farmland together". In the lower right corner of the blackboard, there was a Q version of the three little Fang family members, plus Bulbasaur and Froakie.
Moreover, in the chibi version, Fang Xiaolu and Fang Gu are side by side, while Fang Xing is below Fang Xiaolu.
Such power struggles and infighting have become commonplace in the Fang family.
Bulbasaur was quite satisfied with the painting, and used its Vine Whip to put its arm around Froakie's shoulder so they could admire the heartwarming artwork together.
"Brother Fang Gu, Brother Fang Xing, go wash your hands and eat!"
Holding a soup spoon and wearing an apron, Fang Xiaolu stood with her hands on her hips, revealing her little tiger teeth, looking quite adorable.
Children in the Pokémon world are generally precocious; ten-year-olds can travel alone, so it's not surprising that eight-year-old Fang Xiaolu has excellent cooking skills.
"Pfft, Brother Fang Xing, what kind of look is that? Go change your clothes quickly."
Fang Xiaolu looked at Fang Xing's "down-and-out" appearance and tried not to laugh out loud, but the smile in her eyes betrayed her.
Fang Xing's forehead seemed to form a "well" shape. He suppressed his anger and put on a smile.
He couldn't help but laugh as he thought about what he was going to do next.
Fang Xing whispered a few words in Fang Xiaolu's ear, and then went straight into the room.
Fang Xiaolu's smile instantly froze, and her big, watery eyes stared at Fang Gu.
Fang Gu was helpless; he had already gotten used to it.
The next moment, Fang Xiaolu's mouth turned into a "Type-C" shape, as if Thomas the Tank Engine was entering a cave.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
"I want Brother Fang Gu to praise me too."
Fang Xiaolu buried her head in Fang Gu's waist, and Fang Gu rubbed Fang Xiaolu's head.
"Okay, okay, brother, not only will you praise Xiaolu for cleaning the house so well, but you will also cook for Xiaolu yourself tonight."
"Really?" Fang Xiaolu looked up when she heard Fang Gu's words, her eyes sparkling.
Fang Gu is the best cook among the three Fang siblings. Unfortunately, due to his busy work schedule, he usually leaves the cooking to the Mr. Mime. He only shows off his skills during the Chinese New Year.
Fang Gu gave a soft "hmm," as if with the Stardew Valley panel as a cheat code, his cooking would become extraordinary.
I bought so many ingredients myself because I wanted to thoroughly test them.
"Xiao Lu has another idea." Fang Xiao Lu poked her finger and said a little shyly, "Could I film the farmland clearing and turn it into a Pokémon short film and share it on Douyin? My dearest Fang Gu brother."
Chapter 11 Opening up wasteland
The Pokémon short films that Fang Xiaolu mentioned are the most popular type of short films among young people today, featuring trainers and Pokémon showcasing their talents together.
Douyin is currently the most popular short video platform internationally, and everyone in the world has heard its advertising slogans.
Baodou, a record of the wonderful life with Pokémon, let's all go catch Pokémon together!
Based on the world's most advanced algorithms, on the Douyin platform, every day ordinary people and their Pokémon become famous and go viral across the internet because of a certain video, thus becoming rich in another way.
Fang Xiaolu is one of the loyal users of Pokémon Douyin. Her account, "Xiaomi," has hundreds of thousands of followers. Her videos feature jokes made with various Pokémon hand puppets. The main character of the "Xiaomi" channel is the Meow Meow hand puppet that Fang Gu gave to Fang Xiaolu.
According to Fang Xiaolu, she wants to create a brand new account for promoting Stardew Valley Ranch.
The operation of the account can be entirely entrusted to "Xiao Mi" since Fang Gu has not yet found a suitable school for Fang Xiao Lu in Gu Yue Niao Town, and it is currently on holiday.
After that, Fang Xiaolu will start school, and the initial setup of the account will be completed. Then Fang Gu can take charge of it himself.
After considering it over a meal, Fang Gu finally agreed to Fang Xiaolu's request.
After all, even the best wine needs advertising, and connecting with the emerging world is another great attempt for Stardew Valley Farm.
"Then I'll leave the afternoon's filming to you, Xiao Lu."
Fang Gu rubbed Fang Xiaolu's head; he didn't really want Fang Xiaolu to go to work in the fields either.
Let her two older brothers handle this physically demanding task!
"But don't be sad if the data isn't good."
Fang Gu wore a helpless smile; he really had no confidence in short videos at all.
