Monster Hunter: Farm Story Begins with Pokémon

Chapter 383 Rayquaza's Exclusive Cuisine! (4.6k, supplemented on 5.19th)
After understanding the task information in detail.

Ai Cao also made 500 skewers of rabbit dumplings.

Bai Zhen then put the rabbit balls into the shadow under him.

Now he can use the power of the monster slate to walk in the shadows. He can also bring people into the shadows and store some items in the shadows.

Compared with Xie Mi's small spiritual world, this shadow space has many disadvantages.

First of all, the space inside the shadow is not big, only about the size of a dragon, which is completely incomparable with Shemin’s 100×100×100 space.

Moreover, the shadow space is like an unlocked treasure chest. Any ghost-type Pokémon that can enter the shadow can enter it at any time and take out the things inside.

It is usually a very good temporary "backpack" for storing energy drinks and recovery medicine. There should be no monsters in the Monster Hunter world that can virtualize and enter the shadow.

Unless the spiritual world of this world opens and a few ghosts run out of it.

After putting away his things, Bai Zhen said goodbye to everyone, then took Huo Ya home towards the farm.

Ever since meeting Huoya, Bai Zhen has been holding Huoya's hand.

Noticing the surprised looks from the villagers around her, Huoya felt both shy and happy.

She could have shaken off Bai Zhen's hand, but she didn't.

Looking at Bai Zhen beside her, Huo Ya was curious about what had happened during this period of time and why Bai Zhen became so proactive when he came back this time.

Bai Zhen was also feeling a little nervous at the moment. Although Huo Ya was usually easy-going and doted on his disciple, Huo Ya would not say anything if he kissed or hugged her. When they were traveling in the Padia area, holding hands was commonplace.

But this was the first time they held hands so blatantly in front of everyone in the village.

"Huoya hasn't refused, so that should mean she has agreed, right?"

This month away from home made him understand a lot of things.

They say that a short absence is better than a new marriage, and he now understands the meaning of this sentence.

Outside, he can do anything, from heaven to earth.

He has faced the spiritual world that only souls can enter, been to the bottom of the sea 110 meters deep where the pressure reaches 332 MPa, been to the deep space with no oxygen and vacuum, entered the lunar mantle kilometers below the moon, and saved the world by shattering a meteorite nearly million kilometers away from the planet.

It is no exaggeration to say that he has now deviated from the definition of human beings and even surpassed 99% of Pokémon, becoming an existence similar to the ultimate creature.

Some people call him a "hero", some call him a "monster", and some call him the "strongest human".

There are good reputations, but there are also bad things said by people.

But even though he enjoyed great fame outside, he never felt truly happy or fulfilled inside.

On the contrary, situations with great ups and downs can also make him feel very tired.

Only when he returned to his own small farm, saw the hard-working Felynx, the friendly and lovely Pokémon, and his loved ones, did he truly feel that everything he had done was meaningful.

The purpose of improving your strength is to better protect everything you cherish.

As long as he looks at everything he cherishes, Bai Zhen will feel that he can do anything. No matter whether it is a natural disaster or a taboo, he has the confidence to withstand it.

After only one month away, he missed his farm terribly, and also missed Huoya and Shuiyun terribly.

He now couldn't imagine a future without the two of them.

So when he came back this time, he was determined to be more proactive.

The road from the central street of Yanhuo Village to the farm usually seems a bit long. It may take more than 20 minutes to get there if you walk slowly. But today, Huoya felt it was particularly close.

We are almost home.

Huoya suddenly stopped where he was. Bai Zhen turned to look at Huoya and asked, "What's wrong?"

Huoya was silent for a moment, then said, "It's still an hour or two before dinner time. Should we go somewhere else?"

Huoya looked at Bai Zhen holding her hand, and she felt a little lost when she thought that after returning home, she might not be able to hold his hand anymore.

Although there is no way to have it exclusively, at least you can allow yourself to be a little willful for an hour or two!

"Okay." Bai Zhen nodded and agreed, "Where are we going?"

"I'll take you."

Huoya used her transformation skill to create a pair of wings, and she took Bai Zhen and flew towards the high ground beyond the Yanhuo Waterfall.

Coming to a quiet cliff, Bai Zhen looked at the beautiful scenery in front of him and couldn't help but sigh: "It's so beautiful."

This is considered the high ground surrounding Yanhuo Village, from here you can have a panoramic view of the entire Yanhuo Village.

The fire of peace was burning slowly in Yanhuo Village.

From here you can vaguely see the villagers busy on the streets.

Huoya retracted her wings and shared with Bai Zhen, "This is my secret base. Even Shuiyun doesn't know about it. In the past, if I felt down, I would come here to overlook the whole village. Seeing the smiles on everyone's faces and the peace in the village, I would be full of strength again~!"

Huoya sat down on the cliff. She patted the seat next to her and motioned Bai Zhen to sit down.

Because this platform is relatively small, it can only accommodate two people. Bai Zhen sat down next to Huo Ya.

The space felt a bit crowded, so Huoya opened Bai Zhen's arms, snuggled into Bai Zhen's arms, and rested her head directly on Bai Zhen's shoulder.

She smiled happily and said, "The space is a little small, just be patient~"

Bai Zhen put his arm around Huoya's waist with one hand, and his nostrils were filled with the faint floral scent from Huoya's hair.

Xie Mi's flower of gratitude makes the scent of Huo Ya's body more elegant, and just smelling it can give people a feeling of relaxation.

Bai Zhen used a little bit of strength in his hands and hugged Huo Ya a little tighter.

After the two of them enjoyed a moment of peace, Huoya took the lead in speaking to Zhen: "Tell me about your past month? You didn't have time to talk to me in detail before, because you were on the phone."

"It would take a while to finish talking about this. So many things have happened during this period of time."

"It's okay, I can listen to you slowly~"

"Then this matter must start from the time on the spaceship."

Bai Zhen slowly told Huoya what had happened during this period.

It starts from when he went to Mount Sending God and defeated Sombra, and then talks about how he subdued Deoxys in the universe.

During this period, Huoya would also ask Bai Zhen about some key points and expand the topic.

Huoya is like this, she will listen very carefully to what he says even if she may not be that interested in it.

But no matter whether what Bai Zhen said was interesting or boring, Huoya would listen carefully and then give some feedback, and Bai Zhen's emotional value was greatly satisfied.

It is a very pleasant experience every time I chat with Huoya.

Of course, Bai Zhen did not mention the Jade Rabbit Stone and the Moon Farm. He planned to keep these as surprises.

The sun gradually sank below the horizon, and at dusk, Yanhuo Village was immersed in a golden glow, which was beautiful beyond words.

"I hope to take you to space next time. The sights there are not something you can easily see on our planet."

"Okay~ It's a deal."

Huoya smiled, stretched out her little finger, and made a pinky promise with Bai Zhen to make an agreement.

The two of them quietly admired the beautiful scenery before them.

At this moment, Bai Zhen was extremely relaxed, and his tense nerves were fully rested. When the light dimmed, the two reluctantly returned to the farm.

When I got home, Shuiyun had already prepared dinner. Bai Zhen didn't need to cook in the evening, but he did need to prepare the food for Rayquaza.

In the courtyard on one side of the villa, Bai Zhen released Rayquaza from the ball.

Liekong sat on the open ground, waiting for Bai Zhen to make him the so-called delicious food. In fact, he was not looking forward to the so-called delicious food, but seeing Bai Zhen's confident look, he reluctantly agreed to Bai Zhen's request.

After dinner, Huoya and Shuiyun curiously surrounded Bai Zhen.

They were curious about what kind of delicious food Bai Zhen would prepare for Rayquaza.

Looking at Rayquaza in front of him, Bai Zhen actually had a headache.

Pokémon are different from humans in that their food is varied and the tastes vary greatly.

For example, Crimson Knight likes spicy food, the spicier the food, the more he likes it. Shaymi prefers sweet food, and Dragonite likes salty food.

For example, a legendary delicacy for humans may not be so amazing to Pokémon and monsters. At most, it is just delicious.

Rayquaza's diet is also very strange. He feeds on particles and water vapor in the atmosphere. He also eats other foods, but they do not arouse high expectations for him.

Bai Zhen called Xie Mi and took out a meteorite with a diameter of about 50 cm from her small spiritual world. The meteorite was emitting colorful colors.

This meteorite was the one that Bai Zhen asked Rayquaza to choose himself. The energy contained in it is even more powerful than the Gulan meteorite that Bai Zhen gave to Rayquaza before.

Huoya and Shuiyun looked at the meteorite, both feeling a little bit unbelievable: "Are you planning to use the meteorite to make delicious food?"

They couldn't even imagine the delicacies made from stones.

Can this kind of thing really be made into delicious food?

Or is Bai Zhen planning to grind it into powder and mix it together like he did when making delicious food for the heavy steel draft horse, and just make do with it?
Bai Zhen nodded affirmatively: "Since we want to reward him, we naturally have to take out his favorite ingredients."

After Bai Zhen took out the meteorite, he immediately took out the secret seasoning to let Rayquaza see what flavor he liked.

It was quickly tested and found that Rayquaza prefers salty and sweet foods.

Salty or sweet dishes made from meteorites.
Bai Zhen searched through the recipes in his mind, and soon he locked on a delicacy with a thousand-year-old tradition - fried 褀!

In the past, fried 褀 was an intangible cultural heritage delicacy, which required soil to make.

But now it can be replaced with meteorites that are super energy-rich.

The method of stir-frying is not difficult.

First, Bai Zhen used the universal tool to transform a manual grinder, grind the meteorite into the shape of sand, and then sifted it several times to turn all the small pieces inside into fine sand.

After grinding, the entire sand will have a colorful luster.

Just grab a handful and let the sand fall back into the pot through the palm of your hand.

The sand was as colorful as the Milky Way and incredibly beautiful.

After preparing the sand, Bai Zhen brought wheat flour, bird eggs, pepper leaves, green onions, fennel, sesame seeds, and secret salty seasonings.

Bai Zhen mixed the ingredients, kneaded them into dough, and then fermented them with yeast from the paparazzi bag.

After fermentation, roll the dough into flatbreads, cut into strips and then into cubes.

Considering the size of Rayquaza, each piece of dough is about the size of an apple.

Bai Zhen was making delicious food right in front of Rayquaza. Rayquaza didn't take it seriously at first, but seeing Bai Zhen's smooth movements, he couldn't help but look at Bai Zhen curiously.

When everything is ready, Bai Zhen uses the multi-purpose tool to transform a large wok, and then pours the ground meteorite sand into the wok. Bai Zhen starts to make a fire to heat it. When the temperature of the sand reaches about 300 degrees Celsius, he pours the fermented dough into the sand and stir-frys it.

The hot sand evaporates the moisture in the dough evenly, and the dough begins to expand, while the surface of the dough is covered with a layer of colorful crystal light.

As the dough is gradually cooked, the aroma of the dough gradually spreads.

Rayquaza was quickly attracted by the aroma. He thought Bai Zhen was just doing it casually, but he didn't expect that he actually made a dish that smelled so good.

After the dough was cooked, Bai Zhen used a strainer to scoop out the fried dough from the sand and shook off the colorful sand on top.

This meteorite version of the secret stir-fried dish is ready.

Even though it was the first time making it, the process was simple and Bai Zhen put in a lot of effort to reward Rekongzu, so this first portion was a legendary quality dish, and it was an exclusive dish for the Pokémon that eats meteorites!
There is nothing wrong with saying it is exclusive to Rayquaza.

[Seven-color meteorite secret fried food (rarity 10)——Legendary dish. Made with precious meteorites and high-quality wheat flour. It tastes very crispy and is a favorite of some individuals.

Cooking Effect: Eating a meteorite will enhance your unique abilities. After eating it, one of your moves will be upgraded.

Food Level Bonus - Legendary: After eating, all attributes are increased by 10 points. 】

After preparing this dish, Bai Zhen brought the plate to Rayquaza.

Rayquaza has been waiting for a long time.

Bai Zhen threw the fried dough high up, and Liekongzuo immediately swallowed it into his stomach.

After savoring the dish carefully, Rayquaza roared towards the sky: "Roar!"

The sudden roar scared Huoya and Shuiyun.

They thought Rayquaza was yelling out of anger.

But in fact, the roar was not an expression of anger, but an expression of joy.

Rayquaza looked at the plate in Bai Zhen's hand. Bai Zhen didn't even need to throw it up. He lowered his head and swallowed all the stir-fried vegetables on the plate in one gulp.

The crispy and fragrant taste fascinated him!
Perhaps it was because he had not been looking forward to the delicious food made by Bai Zhen before, so when he ate this delicious food, he was very surprised!

He hadn't eaten such delicious food in thousands of years!

"Roar——!" Rayquaza urged Bai Zhen to continue doing it for him.

Seeing that Rayquaza liked it, Bai Zhen also chuckled and immediately started making more stir-fried dumplings for Rayquaza.

If you want Rayquaza to stay, you need something more special and attractive besides the meteorite.

If you think you can rely on a meteorite to bind Rayquaza for a long time, that's really too far-fetched.

A meteorite that can restore Rayquaza's energy can indeed allow Rayquaza to repay its gratitude, but once the gratitude is repaid, Rayquaza will leave.

If Bai Zhen doesn't want to become like Xi Jiana, then he must have advantages that no one else can replace.

And he is probably the only one in the world who can create the food that Rayquaza likes.

Bai Zhen was paying attention to Rayquaza's panel. After eating enough food, Rayquaza's signature move [Finishing Touch] changed.

The finishing touch has evolved into [The finishing touch. The power of the universe].

Originally, the use of Finishing Touch would reduce Rayquaza's double defense by one level.

In Mega Rayquaza form, Rayquaza can use Finishing Touch three times with no side effects.

Now that the moves have evolved, Rayquaza can choose to use Finishing Touch directly to deal damage to the enemy as before, or he can accumulate energy first and then use Finishing Touch.

After the move evolves, Rayquaza can absorb energy from the universe to strengthen the surface of its body, and then use the finishing touch to offset the negative effects of the finishing touch.

It is no exaggeration to say that this small evolution has greatly enhanced Rayquaza's fault tolerance ability!
