Mewtwo Gets Dazed by the Fragrance~!

But considering that Mewtwo was, after all, a Pokémon, what if it did not understand that? Wouldn't that expose it right away?

What if it got angry out of embarrassment and left directly? That would be bad...

"Brother Feng, I-I-I can do this job!"

Chapter 38: Mewtwo Was Dazed by the Aroma~!

"You..."

"What? You think I can't do it?" Qin Shu puffed out her chest. She knew Lin Feng would definitely be short on manpower for a while.

Since that was the case,

why look for someone else when he could use her?

"Fine. You can be the cashier. Work starts at six in the morning. As for when you get off... you get off whenever everything prepared for the day is sold out, no later than four in the afternoon. Meals included, lodging not included."

The reason lodging was not included was because there were no rooms left.

If Mewtwo moved in, it could stay in his parents' old room.

"Alright~ Thanks, Brother."

Qin Shu immediately broke into a cheerful smile again.

"Will this let me experience an ordinary life?"

Mewtwo asked doubtfully.

"How would you know if you don't try?" Lin Feng gave an ambiguous answer.

"Tch..."

Mewtwo was so irritated by those words that it laughed.

Then it thought of its immense power. At worst, it could just destroy this place.

"Brother Feng, I'm heading back first~"

Having received the good news, Qin Shu seemed to have forgotten whatever she had wanted to say to Lin Feng and ran straight toward home.

"Wait," Lin Feng called out, then tossed her a key. "Remember to come to work at six tomorrow morning."

"Mhm, mhm."

Qin Shu caught the key, becoming even happier.

Beneath the orange-red sunset, the girl's steps were light as she hummed a crisp little tune.

After standing there for a while, Lin Feng looked at Mewtwo beside him. "Come in."

Mewtwo silently followed.

"Name and home address. Just tell me those two things."

Lin Feng looked completely businesslike.

"...Mewtwo, from New Island in the Kanto region."

"Mewtwo? What a strange name. A Trainer from the Kanto region crossing the ocean to come here is pretty unusual."

Lin Feng chattered as he registered the information, showing no surprise whatsoever that the other party was a Champion-level Trainer who had come all the way to the Donghua League.

"Come with me."

After registering the information, Lin Feng really did treat Mewtwo like an ordinary worker and led it straight to the Plantation.

He plucked a Spicy Pepper Fruit.

"See these ripe fruits and vegetables? Your job is to pick all the ones that are ripe every day, then pack them into Storage Balls. Usually, you might also need to help me plant some crops."

The human form Mewtwo had taken raised an eyebrow. Its vast Psychic Power instantly transformed into invisible hands, gathering every ripe Spicy Pepper Fruit and suspending them in the air. "Like this?"

Lin Feng froze.

Mewtwo explained, "I'm a psychic."

"Even better. I'll double your salary."

Lin Feng was not surprised.

He only felt that

sure enough... he still needed a powerful Psychic-type Pokémon!

In fact, ordinary Psychic-type Pokémon could not control their power with such precision.

They would only crush the Spicy Pepper Fruits into mush and make them burst open.

So, what Lin Feng wanted was a powerful Psychic-type Pokémon.

"Uh..."

Naturally, Mewtwo did not care about money in the Human World.

But what intrigued it even more was this.

In the mere ten-plus minutes since it had landed in this town... its once irritable heart seemed to have been cleansed, inexplicably calming down?

Why was that?

"It's getting late. I'll tidy up a room for you later. For now, let's get dinner ready."

As he spoke, Lin Feng waved toward the top of the pine tree.

The latter flew down in confusion.

Pidgeotto was also a new companion. As long as a Pokémon could enter the house to eat Energy Cubes, Lin Feng chose to have it eat together with everyone else.

Eating alone was a sign of loneliness.

"Pidge?"

"Come eat..."

Lin Feng held out his arm for it to perch on. Feeling its sharp talons slide across his arm without causing even the slightest pain, he could not help feeling amazed.

"Pidge..."

Pidgeotto only understood feeding, not dining.

After placing Energy Cubes in the water for Milotic,

Lin Feng took Servine and Pidgeotto toward the Breeding House.

Mewtwo hesitated for a moment before following as well.

Back home, Servine sat obediently and elegantly on a chair, waiting for its Trainer to feed it.

Pidgeotto, meanwhile, looked around restlessly.

Inside this kind of house, there was no sky. It somewhat suppressed its nature and made it uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Servine soon noticed its unease. Two Vine Whips stretched out and pulled open the curtains before the floor-to-ceiling window. The evening glow spilled into the little house, and Pidgeotto settled down considerably, giving Servine a grateful look.

Mewtwo stood off to the side like an outsider.

Yet an unprecedented feeling filled its heart.

It was only after hearing a series of banging sounds that it entered the kitchen.

Inside, Lin Feng was chopping steak.

Of course, it was perfectly ordinary meat from a normal animal.

He had bought it yesterday while stopping by Wangwang Supermarket.

Although the vegetables at home were delicious, they still needed meat.

The Master-class chef skill that came with being a God-tier Breeder made him completely at ease in this area.

The knife in his hand deftly separated every piece of meat from the steak. After adding a little flour and washing it clean, he dried off the moisture with paper towels, cut it into small pieces, and finished the preparation.

Next, he poured a little rapeseed oil into a frying pan. Once it reached around fifty to sixty percent heat, he could add the steak and slowly pan-fry it over low heat...

Taking advantage of that brief interval, Lin Feng started another pot. He cut up a daikon, chopped the ribs into chunks, put them together in a clay pot, and added old ginger and seasonings.

Then he added water.

"How well can you control your Psychic Power?"

After Mewtwo confirmed that this human was talking to it, it nodded. "...Very well..."

"Come on, help me control the heat..."

Mewtwo: ???

Lin Feng simply opened the second Natural Gas burner himself.

Mewtwo: ...

It felt powerless, as though it had been forced into the matter before it could object, but it still used Psychic Power to increase the flames.

Just then, the steak was nearly done. After adding a little sea salt and some rosemary leaves, it was finished...

As for the dipping sauce, it was simple as well: a straightforward Spicy Pepper Fruit flavor.

Pan-Fried Steak—B-rank Cuisine

Cooking Effect: After eating it, Ice-type Pokémon take 10% less damage for a short period of time.

After stir-frying a few more side dishes, Lin Feng carried everything to the dining table.

At the same time, he called out to Mewtwo, "That's enough."

Then he lifted the lid off the clay pot simmering the soup.

Steak Soup—B-rank Cuisine

Cooking Effect: Its aroma is even richer. Drinking it can calm one's mood.

Evaluation Effect: Isn't a steaming bowl of soup the best thing for warming the heart?

"Is it done?"

Mewtwo stopped using its Psychic Power.

Standing in the kitchen, only two words remained in its mind—so fragrant, so fragrant...

It was about to be dazed by the aroma...
