Chapter 90 Winter Routine of the Xia Chi Family
Xia Chi sighed, tightening his coat.

Then, on my cheeks, which were feeling a bit cold from the wind, two furry cat paws suddenly touched me.

Looking down, I saw that Tilley was trying to stand on tiptoe and put her warm paws on her face to help ward off the cold.

"Nya~"

Tirecat had no idea what the trainer was thinking; all Tirecat wanted was for the trainer to be comfortable.

Xia Chi was both amused and exasperated.

Meow, your action looks like you're launching a surprise high-five.

Looking at Tire Cat's serious expression, a mischievous thought suddenly arose in his mind.

He then grabbed Tire Cat by the armpits and lifted it up.

Tire Cat flailed her limbs in an attempt to struggle, but to no avail.

The humans in this world are not as physically strong as the Super Newtown people or the Super Green People, but they can still be described as strong and robust.

Even though Xia Chi doesn't exercise much, lifting Tire Cat, who weighs seventy or eighty pounds, is still a piece of cake.

Of course, the main reason was that Tire Cat was afraid of hurting Xia Chi, so she didn't dare to use her strength.

Otherwise, it's hard to say who controls whom.

After cuddling with Tilley for a while, lunch at Little Chef's Dream Fairy's place was almost ready.

Xia Chi picked up Yukira from another room and they went to the living room for dinner.

This winter in Shanghai is indeed colder.

In the afternoon, the snow stopped and the sky cleared.

The outdoor temperature was actually a few degrees lower.

As for why Xia Chi knew this, it was because he took three elves who had never been exposed to snow before out to play.

The snowfall was heavy in the morning, and the snow piled up to Xia Chi's calves.

The snowplows operated by the property management company in the community were making a rumbling noise. They were not high-tech automated equipment, but were controlled by Rotom.

Electronic ghosts are much more useful than artificial intelligence.

Xia Chi walked slowly through the snow, watching the figures of Tire and the others playing ahead of him.

Yugira was too small and too heavy, so it was completely submerged in the snow, and Xia Chi could only see the pointed horn on its head.

The snow not only blocked Yukira's vision, but also greatly weakened its sense of smell and hearing.

After playing wildly for a while, Yukira, unable to find Xia Chi, called out anxiously.

Xia Chi found it amusing, so she didn't respond.

When the little guy didn't get a response, he started eating the snow around him.

It was as if he thought that as long as he ate all the snow, he could find Xia Chi.

Xia Chi remembered that the Pokédex from her previous life said that Larvitar born deep underground would eat soil and dig upwards so that it could reunite with its parents on the surface.

The genes have awakened, which is the case.

But then again, this also shows how important he is to Kira, like a father.

Xia Chi felt a surge of emotion.

Be my son, Yukira!

Xia Chi stepped over the snowdrift to Yujira's side, about to pick it up and reunite with its father.

Then his face darkened—

It's too complicated to carry!

------

Little Yuki has been with us for almost a month now. Leaving aside her abilities, let's just talk about her health.

The appearance of Yugira, covered in blood scabs, was completely different from when Xia Chi first met it at the breeding base.

In just over twenty days, Kira grew rapidly from 0.4 meters, which was far below the racial average, to 0.6 meters.

It's as if they're trying to make up for the part of their growth that they missed after birth.

At the same time, Yukira's weight more than doubled!
So, Xia Chi, who could barely lift Yukira before, suddenly found that he couldn't lift her anymore.

Just kidding, who can lift such an ultimate weight that's over half a meter tall and weighs seventy or eighty kilograms?

Do they really think everyone is Xiao Zhi?

As for level, although Kira's [Late Bloomer] early-game debuff makes it difficult to level up through battles, it is surprisingly not slow.

Just a few days ago, Tyranitar had leveled up from level 18 when it first came to the house to level 19.

Perhaps the usual playfulness in the training room was also judged as training by Tongzi, and thus received the bonus from the [Training Assist Device]?
However, a level 1 upgrade is negligible for Tyranitar at the moment.

To talk about combat power, we should at least wait until it evolves into Shakiras at level 35.

Yugira's most important task at this stage is to finish eating all the highly nutritious [rock crystal soil].

Although it sounds a bit strange, according to the information Xia Chi later found online, it is indeed the case.

The rock crystal soil produced by the Zvuch family is the best "milk powder" for Rock or Ground-type Pokémon babies.

The same applies to Tyranitar; long-term consumption can significantly increase its shell rigidity and body density.

Furthermore, because its energy density is much lower than that of nurturing items like Rock Gems, this gentler method of nutrition allows Pokémon to absorb it better.

All these reasons have led to a situation where one kilogram of rock crystal soil from the Zvoch mine can sell for nearly a thousand Union coins!

It's definitely more expensive than most normal high-level elf ingredients.

Based on this calculation, the entire ton of mineral soil extracted by Brother Tongzi saved Xia Chi nearly a million yuan in cultivation costs.

Nevertheless, in just one month, Kira had already used up most of the mineral soil that had piled up in the room like small mounds.
If they were raised this way, my normal monthly income wouldn't even be enough to feed Yukira.

Xia Chi finally understood the origin of the saying, "It's easy to buy a top-tier god, but difficult to cultivate one."

Fortunately, after the Evil attribute bond was upgraded to level two, the rate at which the fear value increased also accelerated.

Within a little over half a month, Xia Chi opened two more Fear Value Chests.

In addition to the two fixed basic equipment forging tools, the small lucky lantern also contained the top-tier breeding resources needed by Tire Cat and Dream Fairy for the next two months.

This has perfectly formed a cultivation cycle of "using war to sustain war".

So who said I, Xia Chi, am a lazy winner?

Without my divine touch in synthesizing the Evil Bond Emblem, would I be able to support this family?

The two new basic equipment forging tools I got weren't so lucky; one was a chainmail, and the other was a giant's belt.

In addition to the previously obtained Negative Cloak, all of these are defensive equipment.

Xia Chi didn't really want the Gargoyle Stoneplate, Sunfire Cape, and Zephyr that could be crafted from three different pieces of equipment.

With only one slot left in her equipment inventory, the originally planned tank items are definitely not as high a priority as Archangel's Staff.

Tiremy's situation was similar; these pieces of equipment were not within Xia Chi's expectations.

For Meowbi's last item, it prefers utility items like Titan's Resolve or Hand of Justice.

Yugira's Rock Bond can be equipped with a pure tank item.

However, at this stage, it doesn't need to fight and has no equipment requirements, so giving it to it would be a waste.

After much deliberation, Xia Chi decided to put the project on hold for a while until he obtained the [Equipment Disassembly Tool] that could be disassembled into equipment.

I'll wait until I unlock the next piece of basic equipment, or until I go to Padia next month for the World Pokémon Academy Tournament.
