The change was quite significant.
"The effect is that good?"
"Snivy, do you want some?"
Lin Feng placed another Energy Cube in front of Snivy, and she gladly accepted it.
After eating it, her changes were not as noticeable. She merely looked a little smoother.
"At this rate, you'll probably evolve in three or four days."
After some time had passed, Lin Feng lifted Feebas out of the fish tank.
Looking at the spots that had once been uneven and pitted, now gradually improving, he said with satisfaction.
With Milotic, he could... hehehe...
He could slack off~
The summer temperatures were still high. Newly planted crops generally needed watering, and with fertilizer applied, the plants would naturally need even more water.
If Lin Feng had to handle everything alone, then once the Plantation was fully planted, he would have to stay there every day.
So at a time like this, he needed a Milotic to water the plants.
As for now...
Looking at the rolling heat waves outside, Lin Feng sighed. In the end, he still braved the heat and headed for the Plantation.
Sure enough, just as he had expected.
Although the crops had only been planted last night, their shoots had already grown more than ten centimeters tall.
But likewise, their leaves had become somewhat wilted.
Snivy followed along as well. Seeing the field full of weeds, she consciously began pulling them out.
This time, she did not bother pretending, and her weeding speed was much faster.
"Snivy, wait. Don't pull them yet. Come here."
Lin Feng remembered that he seemed to have forgotten to give Snivy her Grassy Terrain.
"Snivy?" (What is it?)
Snivy thought Lin Feng had discovered that she had "deliberately pulled slowly" yesterday, and she immediately felt a little embarrassed.
Still, she took tiny steps toward him. "Snivy..." (I'll pull all the weeds quickly,)
"Huh? I wasn't talking about that. Come on, I'm going to teach you something good."
Excited, Lin Feng took a blue-green disc out of the System Space.
According to the information provided by the system, the method was simple. He only needed to press it against a Grass-type Pokémon.
That meant any Grass-type Pokémon could learn this move, rather than being restricted by species.
"Snivy."
Snivy had just breathed a sigh of relief when she suddenly felt as though a great deal of information had appeared in her mind.
The next second, she instinctively used the move.
Glittering green energy spread outward.
The two patches of land she had weeded yesterday were instantly covered in green grass again...
Snivy's face darkened.
Can Squirtle Help Water the Plantation?
Fortunately, after giving it a try, she discovered that as her energy dispersed, the weeds immediately vanished again.
Moreover, Snivy felt that her energy seemed capable of controlling plants elsewhere as well.
Following the flow of that energy, she closed her eyes and tried to assimilate the Life Energy within Grassy Terrain that did not belong to her, giving it a glittering green energy signature.
The attempt was not slow. Within five or six seconds, the other weeds had already been assimilated by Grassy Terrain. Then, with a thought from Snivy, every weed within thirty meters was stripped from the ground.
"Snivy?"
Snivy opened her eyes to find Lin Feng looking at her in amazement. "You learned that pretty quickly. I was still wondering whether your Grassy Terrain could assimilate the other plants here. I didn't expect you to figure it out before I even said anything."
"Snivy~"
Snivy lifted her head, looking completely indifferent.
But the system notification that sounded in Lin Feng's mind exposed her mood.
"Good. This way, we can clear all the weeds in the Plantation very quickly."
After praising her again, Lin Feng turned his attention to the system.
Clearly, the reward the system had just given was Golden Fertilizer and Rare Candy again.
After receiving so many rewards, Lin Feng had made a few discoveries.
First, Joy Value needed to increase by more than ten at once to trigger the system's reward mechanism.
Second, each Pokémon's first time seemed to come with a special reward.
Like Sandshrew's Sand Attack, Feebas's Life Fruit, and Snivy's Special Scale Fruit.
The greater the Joy Value increase at once, the richer the rewards.
For example, the TMs and Aptitude Energy Cubes given when he caught Snivy and Feebas.
Especially the latter, which could improve a Pokémon's aptitude!
That was no easy feat in the field of Pokémon breeding.
Usually, aptitude could only be improved when Legendary Pokémon were involved.
Although the materials required to make them were somewhat expensive.
Compared to Legendary Pokémon, though, anything that could be bought with money was not much of a problem.
And the system would reward him with them too.
For instance, the Life Fruit and Special Scale Fruit were both materials for making Aptitude Enhancement Energy Cubes.
They simply had different focuses.
Energy Cubes made from Life Fruit would significantly improve stamina.
Energy Cubes made from Special Scale Fruit would significantly improve Special Attack.
Watching Snivy work hard, Lin Feng's smile widened.
Being tsundere was fine. As long as she listened and did the work, that was enough.
"Brother Feng! Brother Feng! Are you here?"
A crisp voice rang out from outside, followed by a hurried figure pushing open the Plantation's fence gate.
Lin Feng did not even need to think to know who it was.
With such an impatient temperament, and someone who would casually barge through his gate, it could only be Qin Shu.
"What is it?"
Lin Feng turned around helplessly. The girl in a white short-sleeved shirt, her hair tied into a bun, immediately lit up when she saw him.
"I knew you'd be here."
After entering, Qin Shu first looked around, then fixed her gaze on Snivy. Watching her use the energy within her body to pull weeds out by the roots, Qin Shu's mouth slowly fell open in disbelief. "Snivy, what kind of move is that?"
"Grassy Terrain. What, didn't your teacher cover it in class?"
Lin Feng rolled his eyes at her. "Or did you not listen at all?"
"Ah... well, maybe we haven't learned that yet?"
Qin Shu pursed her lips. Her cheeks, already somewhat flushed from the sun, immediately turned even redder, as awkward as a monkey's butt.
The truth was, she had not paid attention in class at all.
"Heh heh..." Lin Feng gave two merciless chuckles before asking, "Go on. What do you need?"
"Hehe."
The girl hurriedly said, "Well, well, Brother Feng, you don't know this, but there's this really annoying boy in my class who's always been at odds with me. Even during summer vacation, he keeps pestering me with messages every day. So I challenged him to a Pokémon battle and told him that if he lost, he had to stop messaging me."
"Then he said he wanted to take part in the Baby Cup held by Wangwang Supermarket, and that we'd settle it there!"
"But his Pokémon is a Grass-type Bulbasaur, and I'm a little worried I can't beat him..."
Lin Feng interrupted her. "So you want my Snivy to help train your Squirtle?"
"Exactly, exactly." Qin Shu nodded earnestly.
"Uh..."
Lin Feng mercilessly mocked, "What a childish challenge..."
That boy probably liked Qin Shu, which was why he kept messaging her.
"He's really annoying, you know, Brother Feng!"
Seeing that Lin Feng did not speak, Qin Shu started shaking his arm and pleaded with Baby-Doll Eyes, "Please help me, Brother Feng..."
"Alright, alright."
Lin Feng pulled his hand free with a headache.
It was not that he disagreed.
After all, as a Breeder, this might be his first client.
And he still needed to borrow Grandpa Qin's Sandshrew.
He was just afraid Snivy would not be willing.
Because that Squirtle really seemed a little silly.
"Snivy?"
