Chapter 13: Farming Dao, A Serial in Full Swing

"Truly remarkable." As a daughter-obsessed father, Allen supported any choice Hearing Nimo made one hundred percent; patting Hearing Nimo's head, Allen's expression showed a slight hint of trouble: "In that case, we must prepare carefully for your starter Pokémon."

"The starter Pokémon of the Paldea region... that lacks too much uniqueness. Right, I happen to have Gible and Goomy Pokémon Eggs gifted by a friend; how about a Pokémon with a late bloomer trait?"

Hearing Nimo shook her head and stated firmly: "I want Pawmi as my starter Pokémon!"

Allen froze for an instant; although he did not quite understand his second daughter's thoughts, he still prepared to find a suitable Pawmi Pokémon Egg, smiling dotingly as he said: "As you wish."

Hearing Nimo raised her arms in excited cheer, then added: "Also... from now on, I want to wear my hair in a single ponytail; that will look more capable!"

"No problem."

Allen immediately instructed the maids to tie Hearing Nimo's hair into a single ponytail from now on, though he felt regretful that he would no longer see his cute daughter with twin tails.

But... as long as Hearing Nimo did not dye or perm her hair, everything was up to her.

One week later.

After seeing off the construction crew and gazing at the land that had now taken on a slight resemblance to a farm, Luo Mu nodded in satisfaction.

Had this been before his transmigration, the money spent on this project would likely have doubled, and he might even have had to deal with petty troubles or shoddy workmanship.

Setting aside evil organizations and certain individuals, most people in the Pokémon world were still like those in a utopia, possessing no scheming hearts.

Luo Mu first arrived at the farming area, also known as the tilling zone; here, the area had simply been demarcated and a drainage system constructed to prevent crops from dying due to waterlogging soaking their roots.

However, the farmland remained in an uncultivated state, after all, that was an additional cost.

In fact, the engineering team could also provide services such as adding irrigation canals to facilitate watering.

Gazing at his progressively shrinking wallet, Luo Mu chose to mobilize existing labor (Swampert) in order to save money.

For watering and such, he could simply let Swampert slowly spray Water Gun over time.

Of course, he was not some kind of demon.

When the scale of the farmland expanded later, Swampert or Luxray could take turns using Rain Dance when watering was needed, and Serperior could use Sunny Day when sunlight was required.

In the world of Pokémon, anything is possible!

Near the farmland, the engineering team had also built a wooden warehouse to store crops, and outside the warehouse, they had placed several iron farming tools, saying they were a friendly gift to him.

Buying such a set of tools at the town market would probably cost several hundred dollars; the contractor was truly a good person.

In short, although the farming area was currently crude, it could be used once the weeds and stones were slightly cleared and the wasteland reorganized.

Luo Mu's understanding of farming only extended to this level; after all, he had grown up in a city before his transmigration and knew nothing about how to farm.

However, even though he was completely clueless about what came next, he already had a plan.

Half a month had passed since the day he promised Director Geeta's invitation to become a teacher at the Naranja Academy.

As one of the largest academies in the Paldea region, the Naranja Academy's internal library must have suitable books and materials for him to consult.

He could simply borrow and read them after taking up his post.

He could also use the developed internet to follow relevant bloggers.

For example, Milo, the Gym Leader of Turffield Town in the Galar region, frequently updated videos and information related to Milo's Farm on his personal homepage.

Luo Mu was not in a hurry to start planting immediately; he understood very well the principle that haste makes waste.

If he rushed in without knowing anything, the probability of failure would be far higher than that of success.

Next, Luo Mu inspected two other areas: the pasture zone and the lake zone.

More than half of the 100,000 League Points had been spent on the wooden fences built in the pasture zone; considering that the animals or Pokémon raised in the pasture in the future would inevitably be related to types like cows, sheep, and horses.

The pasture zone occupied nearly one-third of the land Luo Mu had purchased.

The lake zone also occupied one-third, whereas the farming area was not even half their size.

Like the farming area, the pasture zone was also covered in weeds and stones, urgently needing reclamation; only after purchasing a batch of suitable grass seeds and planting them would Luo Mu consider introducing animals or Pokémon.

Although called a lake zone, it was actually just a planned piece of wasteland; later, Luo Mu would have Swampert directly use its power to forcibly create a lake here.

It was just a pity for Swampert; a champion's main Pokémon having to do this kind of work.

After pondering for a while, Luo Mu decided to first clear the weeds and gravel from the farm and pasture areas today.

However, if he were to wield a hammer and hoe to clear such a vast range bit by bit, he would probably have to work non-stop for over a month.

At this time, his personal strength, which was nearly that of a max-level account, could finally be displayed.

Luo Mu looked around but found no trace; then he gazed up at the sky, and apart from the occasional Starly and Pidgey flying by, there was a larger black shadow that was very eye-catching.

"Sleeping for an afternoon nap in the sky again... but that's just right." Luo Mu instantly recognized that the black shadow was his own Dragonite, and shouting at the top of his lungs, he called: "Dragonite—!"

After calling out three or four times in succession, the black shadow descended from the sky; it was indeed the sleepy and cute fatty.

"Bo~wu?"

Dragonite rubbed its eyes in confusion, its cry slightly soft, completely unable to reveal the terrifying pressure it displayed during battle.

"Trouble you to call Swampert over for me; there is something I need to ask for its help with."

While speaking, Luo Mu's hands did not stop; he poked Dragonite's very fleshy belly, feeling somewhat intoxicated in his heart.

Dragonite's belly was truly very soft; compared to it, even high-grade pillows had to take a back seat.

Napping while resting its belly was extremely comfortable; unfortunately, Dragonite liked to float in the sky for its afternoon naps, and Luo Mu could not force it all the time.

"Bo wu~!"

Dragonite struck a saluting pose with its arms, embraced Luo Mu for their daily hug, and then happily wagged its tail as it flew into the sky, intending to go to the place where Swampert often stayed to notify it to come over.

After watching Dragonite fly away, Luo Mu found a large stone to sit on and asked in his mind: "My friend, is there anything worth ten thousand gold buried underground nearby? For example, evolution stones, the Arceus plates, and so on..."

【... Don't daydream in the middle of the day, dear Host】

Luo Mu clicked his tongue in disdain and complained: "Why is it that ever since the matter of the Tera Orb ore and Professor Sada's experiment, you have achieved nothing?"

【Are you sure you want to ask me?】

【If you were willing to go out and adventure, you would have already earned a fortune; instead, you loaf around every day in this tiny plot of land... my full set of skills has nowhere to be utilized!】

【Dear customer, not far to your right on the hillside, there is a colony of Diglett's nests; if you really cannot afford to eat, you can go rob their food stores】

"... Sharp-tongued fellow." Luo Mu pursed his lips, wondering if this hint system had recently become somewhat twisted in personality because it had been stifled for too long.

Just as Luo Mu was considering whether he should occasionally wander into the nearby mountains and forests after all, the phone in his pants pocket began to vibrate, and the ringtone sounded.

Luo Mu pulled it out to take a look.

Caller: Dr. Olin.
