In reality, Miltank's skin seemed a little pinker, like that of a pregnant cow. The black markings on its head and ears looked as though it was wearing a black scarf.
Its four hooves were smooth and black as well.
Its nose was moist and glossy, while the milk-producing organ beneath it was milky white. Its bright eyes stared intently at the two people entering.
It seemed curious. Wasn't it currently neither milking time nor feeding time?
Ye Mu began to explain, "Although the milk Miltank produces is directly related to its forage and strength, the amount it produces and the subtle differences in quality are also connected to its mood and the seasons."
"Miltank milk is relatively sweet and refreshing in spring. In summer, which is now, it becomes thicker. In autumn, it carries a slight sourness, while in winter, it is warmer."
"If they're in a bad mood, their milk production will drop sharply. So if you want to raise Miltank, there are quite a few things you need to pay attention to."
Upon hearing that, Lin Feng had already taken out his phone and started taking notes.
He immediately understood.
Ye Mu was already considering selling him Miltank, though Lin Feng had no idea why he still insisted on having him challenge the Gym.
Still, he could not help feeling moved.
Uncle Mu looked so tall and imposing, yet his thoughts were unexpectedly so meticulous.
"Judging from the forage you planted, I'm not worried that the Miltank will go hungry. But when it comes to milk production, don't be too demanding of them. Only when they're happy will they willingly produce milk."
Lin Feng nodded and raised his phone, indicating that he had remembered everything.
"Alright. One Miltank is three hundred thousand. How many do you want?" Ye Mu stopped wasting words.
"If possible, I'd like three." Lin Feng thought for a moment before giving his answer.
He actually wanted more.
But he only had a little over eight hundred thousand on him right now, all of it being the Breeding House's sales revenue from the past three days.
Besides, the Plantation had yet to be fully developed, and he still needed to build a Cow Shed. He might not be able to handle everything at once.
Ye Mu nodded. "Come with me. Three really is the limit for a Plantation like yours."
Lin Feng immediately relaxed.
Before coming here, he had been worried that he would leave empty-handed today.
Following Ye Mu deeper into the Cow Shed, Lin Feng saw a group of Miltank that were noticeably smaller than the ones in front.
Compared with the earlier Miltank, these ones had much clearer eyes and were more energetic. When they saw the two of them arrive, they all stood up and stared at them curiously.
Ye Mu said, "These are Miltank that have just reached their first year and started producing milk this year. Their milk hasn't stabilized yet. Take them back and raise them well, and they should produce some fine Moo Moo Milk. Go ahead and pick three."
Seeing so many Miltank, Lin Feng could not help smiling as his gaze swept over them.
"Moo?"
As his gaze moved among them, the Miltank's eyes followed along with it.
*(oωo`)o: Hehe.
This human was so interesting.
Lin Feng quickly picked out three Miltank.
Pokémon: Miltank (x3) Gender: Female Ability: Thick Fat / Thick Fat / Grass Eater Aptitude: Blue / Purple / Purple Individual Values: ... Strength: Level 21–24 / Level 22–24 / Level 25–27 Moves: Tackle, Growl, Defense Curl, Rollout, Milk Drink... Friendship: 15 / 20 / 30 Joy Value: 30 / 30 / 40
"Good kid... Your eye really does prove that you're his child."
Looking at the three Miltank Lin Feng had selected, Ye Mu was genuinely stunned.
Those three Miltank were among the most gifted of this batch. One of them had even been born from Ye Mu's own Miltank. He had not expected Lin Feng to take all three away in one go.
"Cough, cough..."
Lin Feng felt a little embarrassed too.
But since Ye Mu had told him to choose, he was naturally going to pick the best ones.
These days, only thick-skinned people got to enjoy good things.
Being timid would only lead to losses.
"It's fine. Now, you just need to convince them to go with you." Ye Mu added another condition.
"..."
Lin Feng did not waste words. After thinking for a moment, he directly took out some forage from his Storage Ball—the forage he had brought along when he went to the Plantation to pick up Milotic earlier.
This was the second batch of forage he had planted...
Milotic's Strength, One Move to Instantly Defeat
"Moo?!"
After taking out the fresh forage, Lin Feng did not immediately feed it to the Miltank. Instead, he took out the bottle of Shroomish Perfume from his Storage Ball and poured a little onto it.
In an instant, the forage that had merely been rated E-grade became—
C-grade Fragrant Forage—its maker had added a few drops of Shroomish Perfume to the forage, making its scent even richer.
Cooking Effect: Increases its appeal to Grass Eater Pokémon by 30%.
"Moo!!"
The moment the perfume was sprinkled on, the eyes of several nearby Miltank became even clearer, and they began mooing loudly.
"Come with me. Come with me, and you'll get to eat even tastier forage."
Like some creepy uncle luring children away, Lin Feng smiled at the three Miltank he had chosen.
"Moo!!" (Go... go...)
The Miltank stared fixedly at the forage in Lin Feng's hand and took the initiative to rub against him.
Lin Feng did not hesitate and directly held the forage to their mouths. After watching them finish eating, their faces still full of longing, he silently turned toward Ye Mu.
Ye Mu also found his own condition rather amusing. "For you, this actually became the easiest condition. Fine, take out your Poké Balls and bring them with you."
"Hehe..."
Lin Feng hurriedly took out three Poké Balls and recalled all three Miltank he had selected.
Only then did he say awkwardly, "Uncle Mu, I only have eight hundred and fifty thousand right now. Could I bring over another batch of forage in a few days to settle the remaining amount?"
Whether he had enough money or not, he had to catch the Miltank first.
Ye Mu burst out laughing, but he still nodded.
Compared to money, he was more interested in the forage Lin Feng grew. "Forget about the forage. Next time you come, just bring some of the forage seeds you cultivated. I'm quite fond of those."
"Alright~"
To Lin Feng, that was only a small matter.
After paying, he could not help sighing inwardly.
He had thought that saving eight hundred thousand in three days meant he was already making a lot of money.
He had not expected it to all disappear in one go.
So next...
Lin Feng thought of the challenge Uncle Mu had mentioned that morning. He was considering whether he should take the initiative to bring up the battle.
Unexpectedly, Ye Mu brought it up first. "Come on, there's still one battle left. This is more of a personal test for me. Back then, your father shocked me for a long time when it came to raising Pokémon. Just use the strongest Pokémon you've raised for a casual match."
Lin Feng nodded. "Alright."
A test from an elder to a junior? Then he naturally had to send out his strongest Pokémon!
But ever since crossing into this world, he had never seen a true Gym-level Trainer fight.
"Come with me."
Lin Feng followed him to a spot in the pasture near the fence.
"The Battle Arena is here. Just release your Pokémon."
As Ye Mu spoke, a Poké Ball appeared in his hand. With a light tap, it opened.
A Phantump appeared on the field.
Pokémon: Phantump Gender: Male Ability: Overgrow Aptitude: Purple Individual Values: HP (24), Attack (23), Special Attack (24), Defense (27), Special Defense (24), Speed (22) Strength: Level 23–26 Moves: Tackle, Growl, Razor Leaf, Poison Powder, Vine Whip, Heal Pulse, Magical Leaf, Leech Seed, Reflect.
A mid-Elite Pokémon. For an ordinary Trainer who had only just set out on their journey, it was like half the sky had collapsed.
It seemed Ye Mu truly had come with the intention of testing him.
Lin Feng stopped holding back and directly released Milotic.
"Yoyo~?"
