Chapter 178

Well, it seems that the job of brewing wine cannot be run away from, but brewing wine in the Inverted World always feels a bit subtle.

In the game, Starfruit is also the most difficult tree fruit to obtain. Almost all acquisition methods are exchanged or given by others in special battle venues such as "Battle Frontier," "Battle Subway," and "Battle Tree."

At the same time, its effect is worthy of the name "Legendary." It just randomly increases one ability by two levels. It is still not very stable in the battle field, but it is excellent for cultivating Pokémon.

Just like an instinct engraved in the organism, several Omanyte living on the floating island crawled over with tentacles. Although they prefer aquatic fish and shrimp, the legendary tree fruit like Starfruit also has great attraction to them. The instinct as a creature is urging them to wait here. After the fruit matures, eating it will have excellent growth for the body.

"Click-clack~"

The cyan Applin that had been nesting on Xiang Guangtai's head jumped onto the Starfruit tree. There was a small, green fruit on the leaves of the fruit tree. The green apple's eyes blinked, gathered the strength of its whole body, and stimulated its Ripen ability. At the same time, the knowledge of designated forcing began to play a role. The originally small green fruit gradually grew and changed, and finally fell to the ground with a plop.

"Om~" The Omanyte couldn't wait. The moment the Starfruit fell to the ground, these little guys with spiral shells on their backs crawled quickly to the landing point of the tree fruit. However, Xiang Guangtai, the "Big Demon King" in their eyes, directly picked up the Starfruit. The Omanyte were timid by nature, only surrounding Xiang Guangtai and making dissatisfied protests. The tentacles by their mouths kept wriggling toward the sky, looking very aggrieved.

Eat a bite, eat a bite, just give us a bite!

Those Omanyte made such sounds.

"Don't be anxious, everyone will eat it, but if you eat this plant of fruit, you won't be able to eat more in the future."

Ancient Pokémon do not have the long-term plan of "planting tree fruits." In the era they lived in, they could eat one meal as one meal, and live one day as one day. So Xiang Guangtai carefully explained the pros and cons to the Omanyte. Although these little guys still didn't understand much, they finally didn't stretch out their tentacles.

They blinked their eyes, waiting for Xiang Guangtai's next move.

"Click-clack." The green apple consumed a lot of power after cultivating a fruit, and its spirit was a bit listless. However, it only needed to eat some apples to recover in this state. After wolfing down a High-Quality Large Apple, the cyan Applin was full of power again!

Then, Recycle!

The apple residue was regenerated into a new apple. The Omanyte wriggled their tentacles stickily, temporarily threw the Starfruit behind their heads, and focused on sharing the delicious apples before them.

"Let Lilligant help us."

Xiang Guangtai brought Lilligant from outside the mirror entrance. Lilligant held the Starfruit and saw at a glance that this tree fruit possessed extraordinary power and nutrition, and carefully began to cultivate it.

The second Starfruit tree grew rapidly. Its growth time was significantly shortened. Soon, green fruits appeared again, and so on, and soon a Starfruit forest was cultivated.

"Click-clack." The green apple's eyes drooped.

It was exhausted!

But this beautiful Grass-type Pokémon is really amazing. With her help, the plants here grew up quickly!

Lilligant was also quite curious about Applin, poking Applin with leaves from time to time, and laughed hehehe when watching Applin rolling on the mossy ground.

This originally barren world is now becoming full of vitality.

"Om..." After eating all the high-quality apples, the Omanyte gained a strong sense of fullness. They lay lazily by the water and didn't want to move, but the smell of Starfruit kept seducing them, making them unable to help but want to taste it even though they felt very full. And after waiting for so long, they finally got the tree fruit food they dreamed of.

And the rich taste of Starfruit did not let the Omanyte down. They ate a little bit, and immediately revealed an expression like melting, comfortable to the point that even their souls were about to disappear, and could only make soft and powerless calls. Their brains were completely empty.

Giratina also ate one out of curiosity. The amazing power surged in its body. Giratina felt that one of its abilities had gained sufficient growth, but it was difficult to exert it.

"What are you doing?" Giratina found that Xiang Guangtai was building strange things. Although it was not the first time he saw it, Xiang Guangtai's hand speed and work efficiency still made Giratina marvel, but Xiang Guangtai muttered in his heart that if Giratina saw the hand speed of a certain trio, that would be truly incredible.

"Small barrel." Xiang Guangtai patted the finished product.

【Craft: Oak Small Barrel.】

【Description: This is a piece of equipment used to make brewed products. It can convert agricultural products into brewed products. Theoretically, using oak is better, but the oak from the oak forest has unique power, so it can be replaced.】

【Effect: Brewing speed +100%, taste +30%, deliciousness +30%.】

Because it used oak and some ancient wood that originally existed in the Inverted World, this small barrel can also be considered a non-ordinary craft. Xiang Guangtai put the Starfruit in, and then started the operation.

Yeast converts the sugar in the fruit into alcohol and carbon dioxide through anaerobic respiration. This process is the core of fruit wine brewing. And the wine barrel should be placed in a cool place, because high temperature and light will accelerate the deterioration of the wine and affect the quality and taste of the wine.

However, the Inverted World itself is "cool" enough. There is no distinction between the four seasons here for the time being. At the same time, Xiang Guangtai also thought of another good place to store wine.

Bingshan Temple! The swamp where Regice's Bingshan Temple is located has various mushrooms, the temperature is low, and there seems to be peat soil. It is truly a place where many resources gather.

"Then, accelerate slightly..." Xiang Guangtai tried to use the scholarship of passage of time he had just obtained. The small barrel changed rapidly. Its surface became a bit old, but that was just an illusion after the surge of time. When Xiang Guangtai used the scholarship, a "time calculation table" automatically appeared in his heart. After waiting for a while, Xiang Guangtai stopped brewing.

Pulling up the wooden stopper, a mellow wine fragrance wafted out of the wine barrel. The wine liquid could not be said to be clear, but rather colorful?

This is the same color as the pulp of Starfruit. The skin of Starfruit is green, but the pulp after cutting has five colors: red, yellow, blue, gold, and green. This wine in the wine glass looks like some kind of cocktail after seasoning...

【Crafted Food: Starfruit Wine!】

【Description: Wine containing huge power, possessing rich taste and extremely strange flavor, is a drink suitable for all Pokémon to drink, but minors are prohibited from drinking! In terms of brewing materials, it can be called "Legendary Wine." It is said that it can develop the potential of life and make it erupt further. If taken to sell, it will sell for a very high price.】

【Effect: After drinking the wine, a random ability value will increase by two levels, comprehension will increase significantly, potential development efficiency +100%, confidence +30%, action power +30%, and there is a probability of appearing "Self-Motivation" state.】

"Do you want to try?"

Xiang Guangtai handed the wine to Giratina, and the latter opened its faceplate and just licked a few mouthfuls simply.

Hmm?!

"I must immediately organize those undeveloped floating islands!" This thought suddenly popped up in Giratina's heart and urged it to act quickly, which startled Giratina!

And then it was...

"I suddenly feel a kind of confidence, as if there are more abilities in my body that have not erupted!"
