Only,

in the illusion it could not see, a glowing green thread remained connected from Lin Feng to it.

This was the power of Evergreen Power to stabilize emotions...

Ordinary Life

Looking at the table full of delicious food, Mewtwo could not help swallowing.

It looked delicious.

"Come on." Lin Feng served Snivy and Pidgeotto their respective Energy Cubes, then walked to the refrigerator and took out a large bottle of Peachy Fruit Juice Ice Drink he had made earlier.

He poured a glass each for Snivy, Mewtwo, and himself.

B-rank ice drink—the maker used Peachy Fruit as the base, squeezed out the juice, then added a little lemon juice. This balanced out some of the Peachy Fruit's sweetness while giving it a rich fruity aroma. Cooking Effect: Nothing was more refreshing in summer than a glass of iced fruit juice. After drinking it, Joy Value increased moderately.

Snivy ate naturally, taking small sips of juice from time to time.

Pidgeotto, on the other hand, was somewhat reserved, but in the end, it could not resist the temptation of the food and began eating heartily.

Mewtwo fell silent for a moment, then sat on the other side at Lin Feng's beckoning. It copied Lin Feng, picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks, and started eating.

Congratulations, Host. Mewtwo's Joy Value has increased from 10% to 30%. Reward: one bag of Special Grade Golden Fertilizer and one Bent Soup Spoon.

Then, looking at the Peachy Fruit Juice, it drank some as if possessed.

That night,

after washing up the dishes and chopsticks, Lin Feng made Mewtwo's bed and began making Energy Cubes...

The next day...

Just after dawn,

quite a few people were already waiting outside. Lin Feng took out all the Energy Cubes he had made and prepared to arrange them on the counter.

Mewtwo, who had also risen early, saw the scene and immediately used Psychic Power to levitate all the Energy Cubes. Then it quietly looked at Lin Feng.

"Your Psychic Power is really impressive. You can control so many Energy Cubes so precisely." Lin Feng smiled and praised it, then had it place the Energy Cubes where they belonged.

If Lin Feng and Snivy had done this work themselves, it would have taken at least half an hour.

Under Mewtwo's Psychic Power, though, it only took ten seconds.

Looking at the number of Energy Cubes, twice as many as yesterday, Lin Feng nodded in satisfaction. He was certain his Breeding House could make it through the day!

Just then, the little Breeding Shop's door was opened.

Qin Shu, looking full of energy, shouted from outside, "Make way, everyone, make way. Line up, don't rush. Why are there so many people..."

Only after the door was fully opened did the sight outside truly stun Lin Feng...

Logically speaking,

the first day should have had the highest amount of buzz, and then it should gradually decline.

So, the first day should have had the most people coming to the Breeding House, with the numbers slowly decreasing afterward.

But now...

Seeing that there were twice as many customers as yesterday, Lin Feng was momentarily stunned.

Most of them were familiar faces he had seen yesterday.

This meant that even though it was only the second day of the buzz spreading,

the number of people who had gotten up early to wait here was double that of yesterday.

"Brothers, this is the shop. This shop let me see the sun at four-thirty in the morning."

Luan Ming, who had come yesterday, was livestreaming again today with a selfie stick in hand.

But after hurriedly saying that, he impatiently shouted, "Boss, Boss, I want three portions of Stamina Energy Cubes!"

"Coming!"

Qin Shu immediately grabbed a plastic bag from the side. Looking at the labels in front of each type of Energy Cube, she was just about to bag a portion.

Lin Feng stopped her and pointed at the counter outside the Breeding Shop's entrance.

"Your station is over there. You just need to weigh and check how many Energy Cubes each customer bought, then take their money."

Qin Shu froze. "Huh?"

Was it really that easy?

Lin Feng nodded.

Most of the customers here had come after watching the Baby Cup video, so they all knew Lin Feng was the owner of Neighbor Breeder House.

Hearing him say so, they immediately began filling bags with Energy Cubes. Although there were clearly far more of them today,

the early bird got the worm, while the slow ones got nothing. That was no joke...

Qin Shu pursed her lips, feeling as though taking this money would burn her hands.

But when she saw the line quickly stretch into a "long dragon," with every person paying several thousand, her mind immediately went blank...

So much...

So much money...

Some people even bought the fruits and vegetables in the corner that cost only a few dozen per pound...

Her feeling immediately changed to, Was money really this easy to make?

She knew whether money was easy to make.

At least in Wutong Town, it was not.

With a Wild Area that had already been developed nearby, few Trainers were willing to set foot here.

On top of that, Wutong Town had no Pokémon Center, poor transportation, and was a half-hour drive from the city.

That made people even less willing to come here.

The adults in town all went elsewhere for work. If the children got into Elf University and became Trainers, they probably would not return either.

Still, when she was little, while Uncle Lin and Aunt Ye were around, the town had been somewhat livelier.

She still remembered that Uncle Lin's Energy Cubes had been truly excellent. Trainers from the city came specifically every day to buy them from him.

Back then, her mother had even been able to run a small Pokémon rescue station in town.

Some Trainers injured in the Wild Area would come to the rescue station to recover, so life had been fairly comfortable.

Unfortunately, after Uncle Lin and Aunt Ye disappeared, that prosperity vanished as well...

The town grew less lively by the day.

In the end, it was because the place was simply too barren.

Could Brother Feng make this place prosperous again?

That thought could not help appearing in the girl's heart.

Seeing that Qin Shu had "perfectly" settled into her work, Lin Feng nodded to himself, then took Mewtwo for a walk around the Plantation.

The watermelon sprouts had already emerged and had even grown to a meter long.

At this rate, watermelons would probably be ready in five or six days.

The pasture grass cut yesterday had also regrown to one-third of its former height today.

It seemed...

he could raise a few Miltank or Gogoat, milk them for fresh milk, and try to maximize the Cooking Effect of his God-tier Breeder abilities.

Hmm, he should find an opportunity to contact the livestock farmers in Huaqiao Village.

He also needed to expand the Breeding House a little...

All these thoughts flashed through Lin Feng's mind.

"Is this ordinary life?"

Mewtwo suddenly asked from beside him.

"Only part of it, isn't it? There's more than just this for you to experience, right?"

Lin Feng looked up at the pine tree outside. Pidgeotto was still dutifully watching the surroundings from there.

He said to Mewtwo, "Want to go for a walk? See what ordinary people are doing at this hour?"

Sandshrew Loves Grandpa Qin, and Grandpa Qin Loves It Too

Bluestone Path.

In the rice paddies on both sides, many farmers were already clearing weeds or using some kind of Pokémon Powder to drive away insect pests.

It was July, the season when rice in the fields put out ears. The lush green stalks were heavy with grain and looked especially pleasing.

Morning light poured down, slowly creeping from the Wild Area toward Bluestone Path.

Lin Feng walked along Bluestone Path with Mewtwo behind him.

It did not speak, quietly following Lin Feng toward the Wild Area.

Lin Feng, on the other hand, greeted the farmers on both sides of the rice paddies as they walked.

"Oh, Lin Feng! Up so early. I heard you competed outside and brought quite a few people to the Breeding Shop. Impressive—just as capable as your father."

"Who is this child behind you? It looks quite delicate."

Only when they reached a channel in the river did Lin Feng stop.
