Monster Hunter: Farm Story Begins with Pokémon

Chapter 341: Barbecue Tower and Storm Moves! (5k, supplemented on 4.28th)
Return to the central camp of Feiye Fortress.

When Bai Zhen found Puxian, Dao Wen from the processing workshop was also there.

Bai Zhen, Pu Xian and Dao Wen told the whole story.

After listening, Puxian said: "He was so seriously injured that he shouldn't have been able to escape far. You didn't find any trace of him, so it's very likely that he hid in an underground cave."

In the afternoon, Bai Zhen tried to track Yuan Hulong through the blood trail, but Yuan Hulong used his flying ability to move in the air many times.

Later, when Bai Zhen chased the beast tide to the vicinity, he completely lost the resentful tiger dragon because of the extremely messy footprints left by other monsters.

"Underground cave? There is an underground space near Yanhuo Village?"

Puxian: "The wilderness is so vast, it's quite normal for there to be a few underground passages and spaces dug out by monsters."

Bai Zhen felt a little regretful: "If Yuan Hulong hides in the underground space, then won't it be very difficult to find him again?"

At this time, Dao Wenyan said, "There is no food underground. If Yuan Hulong is still alive, he will definitely come out from underground again to look for food. I can find a way to lure him out with a mechanism."

Dao Wen had fought with the resentful tiger dragon 50 years ago. For so many years, he had been thinking about how to avenge his previous defeat. Now he finally found the opportunity.

Puxian was much more optimistic than Dao Wen. Puxian said, "Competition in the wild is very cruel. The Yuanhulong was seriously injured. He might die in the wild within a few days. Even if he doesn't die, he will be hunted down by other powerful monsters who have discovered his tracks."

"Just in case. If he really survives, he will probably be even more powerful than he is now, and will definitely take revenge on Yanhuo Village."

Theoretically, the Tiger Dragon cannot become infinitely stronger, as the attribute values ​​and move levels increased by his characteristics have an upper limit.

Bai Zhen said: "I may be busy with farm matters during this period, so I'll leave the search for the Yuanhulong to you."

Bai Zhen looked at the resentful tiger dragon from a distance. Under the powerful attack, the shell on the back of the resentful tiger dragon was completely shattered, and the white bones could be vaguely seen.

The injury that Yuanhulong suffered today was more serious than the injury that Honglong suffered before. It was undoubtedly a fatal injury.

But nothing is absolute. Monsters have very strong vitality. Yuanhulong can break through the limits at the critical moment, break the boundary between single pole and double pole, and use the power of full-pole ghost fire to break the inverted effect of the moves. It is probably not a miracle that he survived such a desperate situation.

From the perspective of interests, Bai Zhen still hopes that Yuan Hulong is still alive.

He also hopes to get exclusive refreshes from the resentful tiger dragons. As ancient dragon-level creatures, resentful tiger dragons are difficult to find in the wild, and some resentful tiger dragons are polygamous and live in groups, making hunting them even more difficult.

This Resentful Tiger Dragon will most likely be the only Resentful Tiger Dragon-exclusive refresh he has for a long time in the future.

Puxian nodded: "If we find any trace of his activities, we will let Huoya and Shuiyun contact you."

Bai Zhen temporarily handed over the matter of Yuan Hulong to Puxian and Dao Wen, and returned home.

When he returned home, Bai Zhen didn't see Huoya and Shuiyun. They might still be working.

Bai Zhen had not told the two of them that he was out hunting the resentful tiger dragon.

Seeing that the two had not come back, Bai Zhen also prepared to make dinner.

Bai Zhen had kept the ingredients of the overlords in the refrigerator and hadn't used them. He could try making some dishes with the secret seasonings tonight.

I went to the refrigerator and took out the meat that had been marinated in the refrigerator in the morning.

The Night Parade of a Hundred Dragons is a disaster for Yanhuo Village, but an opportunity for Bai Zhen.

During this hunt, Rou Baizhen obtained five overlord-level monsters.

Bai Zhen has already obtained the meat of the five overlords: the Blue Bear Beast, the Thunder Wolf Dragon, the Male Rathalos, the Female Rathalos, and the Horned Dragon.

During this period of time, Bai Zhen studied his cooking skills and discovered a truth.

He can probably make 1 to 3 dishes with special effects using one main ingredient.

If after making three dishes, he uses the same main ingredients to make another dish, then even if the dishes have different effects, people will not gain permanent benefits by eating them.

The reason is that if you eat dishes made with the same main ingredient many times, your body will produce something similar to "antibodies".

How many kinds of special-effect food can be eaten, 1 or 3, depends mainly on the effects of the food made by Bai Zhen.

If a dish is very effective, then after you eat it, if you cook a second dish and eat it, it will not have any effect.

To give a simple example, he could use the meat of the Thunder Wolf Dragon to create three kinds of dishes.

The first type adds 3 points of special attack, 3 points of physical attack, and 3 points of speed.

The second thunder skill level increases by 2 levels.

The third method is to make a change to the thunder skills.

If Bai Zhen made these three dishes, he would indeed be able to get all the bonuses by eating them all at once.

But if Bai Zhen only created one kind of dish, the effect of the dish would be to learn a high-rarity electric-type move, and this skill would be upgraded by five levels, and this electric-type move would change again.

After Bai Zhen ate this dish, the first three dishes no longer had any effect on him.

From the effect point of view, the effect of the fourth dish is more powerful than the first three dishes combined.

Therefore, it would be best for Bai Zhen to only make one dish that can directly unleash all potential, so that the effect of 1+1+1>3 can be achieved.

If you want to fully unleash the potential of the ingredients, you need to pair them with other top-grade auxiliary ingredients to elevate the ingredients.

The essence of advanced cooking skills is to fully stimulate the special power of ingredients, and then enable people to gain special abilities.

There is no upper limit to high-level cooking skills, but there is an upper limit to ingredients. Even if you cook low-level ingredients into a flower, the ingredients cannot break through the limit. It is impossible for you to make a dish with the effect of a master-level dish by just cooking low-level ingredients.

Of course, there are unexpected things. For example, using other auxiliary materials to increase the upper limit of materials. Lower-level high-level ingredients, with the help of other high-level auxiliary materials, may be able to break through to the upper level.

Bai Zhen plans to use the meat of these five overlords to make a dish together, so that the five kinds of overlord meat can complement each other and see if he can create the best dish and achieve the effect of 1+1+1+1+1>5.

Bai Zhen took out seven large bags of marinated meat from the refrigerator.

After checking, Bai Zhen confirmed that only one of the seven bags of meat was marinated to perfection and could be used as raw material for legendary dishes.

The other bags were a bit disappointing.

Bai Zhen did not waste it, but instead prepared to use the marinated meat to practice.

This time he planned to use the meat to make a [Greek Thousand Layers of Meat].

The production process of the barbecue tower is very simple compared to the dishes he made before, such as the Dripping Guanyin.

It is to use a small hammer to pound the tendons inside the best meat slices from the overlords, and then marinate them with three secret seasonings: salty, sweet and spicy, and other seasonings such as garlic, onion, Oliva's olive oil, black pepper, etc.

The key to these steps lies in the recipe of the seasoning. After taking a shower last night, Bai Zhen worked on this recipe for two or three hours before he finally completed a marinade that he was most satisfied with.

The secret seasoning is more powerful than other seasonings!

Best of all, these secret seasonings take ingredients to the next level just by adding them in!
After pickling, it’s a relatively simple game of stacking.

Take out a baking tray, cut a few potatoes on the bottom of the baking tray as a base, then insert a few long bamboo sticks into the potatoes, and finally stack the meat and various vegetables together layer by layer.

When it comes to the stacking step, if you want to make high-level dishes, you can't just stack them randomly. The temperature in the oven is different. You need to carefully consider which meat to put at the bottom and which vegetables are more suitable for which meat.

After Bai Zhen finally folded it, he wrapped the three-meter-high barbecue tower with tin foil and put it into the oven transformed by the universal tool to bake for five hours. With the help of the universal tool, it can be done in about 30 minutes.

After completion, take it out and remove the outer layer of tin foil. Put it in the oven and bake for ten minutes. Bake the meat on the outer layer of the barbecue tower until it is charred and crispy. The barbecue tower is then completed.

The pyramid-shaped barbecue tower is sizzling with oil and flashing a faint golden light, and the gravy is rolling down the edge of the tower. It is very appetizing just by looking at it.

If you only eat barbecue, even if there are vegetables in it, you will feel sick of it if you eat too much. At this time, Bai Zhen took out a roll made of Lv.7 wheat, spread some yogurt sauce made from Lv.7 Moo Moo milk on the bottom of the roll, sprinkled the cut barbecue evenly on the roll, and then sprinkled some freshly fried Lv.7 French fries, and some level 5 sweet peppers and onions.

This [Greek Meat Burrito] is ready.

Bai Zhen checked the dish and found it was of high quality with much room for improvement. After checking the results of the dish, Bai Zhen nodded with satisfaction.

"It seems that eating this dish will almost reach the limit of the ingredients."

[Overlord Barbecue Burrito (Rarity 8): Advanced cuisine. A barbecue tower made with secret seasonings and five Overlord meats. After being marinated with secret seasonings, the barbecue has been sublimated. Paired with sweet and sour yogurt sauce and French fries, you can taste a completely different flavor with every bite.

料理效果：仅限一次。全属性+10。30%的概率获得1个稀有度8及以下任意属性技能招式。技能等级总计随机提升15级。】

A total of 15 skill levels were upgraded, adding +10 to all attributes, and there was a chance to learn skills of rarity 8 and below. The cooking effects were better than those made from the meat of the five overlords alone.

Rarity 8 is the specialty of the cover Pokémon and the unlocked Ancient Dragons. Although this dish has only a 30% chance of learning a skill, and there is a possibility of learning skills between rarity 1 and 7, the chance of obtaining a rarity 8 skill is a huge profit.

Bai Zhen did not plan to eat the dish after making it. His goal was to eat a dish of legendary quality, which would give him a bonus on the dish's effect as well as the dish's level.

As for this barbecue tower
Bai Zhen looked outside the kitchen. The cats, who had been busy all day, were now lying on the windowsill, staring at Bai Zhen in the kitchen.

The aroma of the barbecue had already attracted them, and their saliva was almost flowing to the ground.

Bai Zhen laughed and said to the Felyne cats outside the house: "If you want food, please line up. There is food for every Felyne cat. Don't fight over it."

As soon as Bai Zhen finished speaking, the Felynx outside the house lined up as quickly as possible.

Bai Zhen asked the chef, Cat Elu, to help him assemble the burritos and then distribute them to the Cat Elu.

When Bai Zhen is not at home, there are special chefs to prepare dinner for more than 200 cats.

Although the cooking skills of these chef cats are not as good as Bai Zhen and Shui Yun, the vegetables and fruits on the farm are of high quality. Even if their cooking skills are average, the food they make is much more delicious than that outside.

The task of distributing the food was left to Chef Elu, while Bai Zhen continued to practice with the remaining ingredients.

With five imperfect ingredients, Bai Zhen was able to create two special dishes in total. One of them had reached top-level craftsmanship, but was just a little short of legendary level. The reason it didn't reach legendary level was because of some unsatisfactory results during the process of marinating the meat.

Bai Zhen made these five barbecue towers into barbecue burritos and distributed them to the Pokémon on the island who had participated in the battle of Jade Leaf Fortress.

For some Pokémon that don’t eat meat, Bai Zhen also made equally delicious vegetarian burritos. More than 2,000 Pokémon all got the food made by Bai Zhen.

With only one perfect ingredient left, Bai Zhen is confident that he can create a legendary dish.

After a busy four-hour meal, Bai Zhen finally got the legendary quality Overlord BBQ burrito.

[Extra cooking level bonus - Legendary level: 5% chance to learn a skill of rarity 8 or below, and the skill level is increased to level 10.]

This is another bonus for learning a skill. Although the probability is only 5%, as long as you win the bet, you can get a level 10 move. From this perspective, the 5% probability is also very high.

While Bai Zhen was concentrating on making the last dish, Shui Yun and Huo Ya, who had been setting up the program for the mother box on the third floor of the villa, also temporarily finished their work.

The two smelled the aroma of delicious food and came to the hall on the first floor.

Huoya: "What a nice smell."

Shuiyun’s reaction was more intuitive, her stomach growled.

Bai Zhen looked at the two of them and said, "You came at the right time. Dinner is ready."

With the meat of the five overlords and the added bonus of secret seasonings, Bai Zhen is confident that this food will be the most delicious dish he has ever made.

It doesn’t require any complicated production process; just fully unleashing the potential of the ingredients can create delicious food.

Bai Zhen asked the two to wait at the dining table for a while.

He carried the barbecue tower and placed it in the middle of the table, and Bai Zhen personally helped each of them wrap a barbecue burrito.

He handed it to the two of them and said, "Be careful, it's hot. It's just been baked."

The two who had been waiting for a long time were already getting impatient.

Huoya grabbed the burrito with both hands and took a bite of it along with the barbecue, yogurt sauce, French fries and vegetables.

These ingredients blend perfectly in the mouth, and no one ingredient seems abrupt and destroys the overall harmony of the dish.

The roasted meat was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the gravy burst in your mouth when you take a bite.

The specially processed barbecue has distinct flavors, and the gravy has the fragrance of vegetables, so you won’t feel sick of it no matter how much you eat.

Bai Zhen carefully observed the panels of Huoya and Shuiyun.

After eating a bowl of burritos, Huoya and Shuiyun both learned new skills. Bai Zhen took a closer look at the skills they had learned and exclaimed that they were outrageous!
"Did this poke the nest of storm-type skills?"

The two of them learned three skills of rarity 7! And they were all the same type of skills.

Let’s talk about Shuiyun first. She didn’t get the 50% chance in cooking, but she got the 5% chance to learn the level 10 skill.

The move she learned was called [Hot Sand Storm]! It was the same as the [Dead Leaf Storm] move she had learned before!

One move comes from a land cloud, and one move comes from a tornado cloud.

But Huoya was outrageous, having learned two rarity 7 skills at once, [Spring Storm] and [Thunder Storm]!
These two moves come from the Attachment Cloud and the Thunder Cloud.

All the skills learned by Huoya and Shuiyun come from the signature skills of legendary Pokémon.

[Hot Sand Storm] is a ground-type move that uses hot sand and strong wind to sweep the opponent to attack. Sometimes the opponent will be burned.

[Dead Leaf Storm] is a flying-type move that attacks with a gust of icy wind that is strong enough to make the body and mind tremble uncontrollably. Sometimes it will slow down the opponent.

[Thunderstorm] is an electric move that calls upon thunderclouds to cause a storm, using thunder and wind to launch a fierce attack. Sometimes it can paralyze the opponent.

[Spring Storm] is a fairy-type move that sweeps the opponent with a strong wind mixed with love and hate. Sometimes it will reduce the enemy's physical attack.

Huoya and Shuiyun's moves and skills have been upgraded by a total of 15 levels.

The four skill levels are:

Fire Buds—Spring Storm Lv.13, Thunder Storm Lv.7.

Shui Yun——Hot Sand Storm Lv.12, Dead Leaf Storm Lv.8.

Bai Zhen looked at the two's moves in detail.

"Two sisters each have two moves of the same type with a rarity of 7. This is really amazing luck."

But at the same time, Bai Zhen also muttered secretly: "It seems that getting a rarity 8 skill through this dish is more difficult than climbing to the sky."

Rarity 8 is a signature move at the unlocking level and first-level god level. This move is not only extremely powerful, but also has a lot of additional abilities.

For example, the storm skills that Huoya and Shuiyun have learned.

Shui Yun can sense the situation in the distance through the wind of the leaf storm. She can also generate local, non-lethal breezes by using the low-power leaf storm.

Of course, Shui Yun can only generate wind at present, but cannot control it.

If you want to control natural phenomena, you must at least have the control ability of an ancient dragon, or be blessed with the power of a stone slab like Bai Zhen.

Having just finished a burrito, the two of them couldn't wait to walk out of the room, ready to try out their own skills.
