My Pokémon Story of Seasons

Chapter 169 Leveling Up Makes Me Happy

[Gear of Time: Quality S, a mysterious creation imbued with the laws of time, capable of maintaining the flow of time. Recommended processing methods (cooking, wood carving, sewing, armor forging, gold engraving, alchemy).]

"Wow! S-rank!"

Tong Hua couldn't help but scream out in surprise.

"Wow, that's amazing! My goodness, this is the first time I've ever seen materials processed in so many ways!"

"Whoa!?" "Wow?!"

The Pokémon inside the room were all startled by Tong Hua's reaction and fell silent, waiting for him to explain.

Tong Hua carefully read the text on the information panel; at this moment, the gear was practically omnipotent!

It can be manufactured using all processing methods!

Strangely, when Tong Hua checked the [Recipe Compendium], it did not show any recipes for using the Gear of Time.

Why is that?

Could it be that the recipes made with S-grade ingredients are too advanced for my chef level to replicate?

Tong Hua scratched his head, but compared to those problems right now, there was an even bigger one—

"Speaking of this thing—how exactly do you cook it?"

Anyway, it definitely can't be used as a consumable item; don't you guys need it to repair the Tower of Time?

Tong Hua looked at Riolu, the pink Celebi, and Ampharos to the side.

Riolu and Celebi nodded. Of course, the Gears of Time couldn't be consumed, but if they had to put it into words, they couldn't even imagine the scene of the Gears of Time being consumed.

After all, it was a creation of God. Even volcanic lava and extremely cold underground lakes could not harm it in the slightest.

Even if it fell from a height of 10,000 meters, it probably wouldn't be able to damage a single corner.

Such things are so rare that not only are they not being used, but even their material composition is unclear.

The electric dragon rested its chin on its claws, pondering: "Perhaps—we don't actually need to use it?"

Just like some high-end dishes that showcase precious ingredients, but ultimately only serve as decoration and to inflate the price?

"Hmm—" Tong Hua pondered the electric dragon's proposal, but still felt something was off.

Are we supposed to stick the gears of time into the glass like lemon slices used in cocktails?

Just when everyone was at a loss, Lucario, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.

"Since this gear contains abundant time-related power, why not let Celebi draw power from it to restore himself?"

Lucario's words stunned everyone and all the Pokémon; the air seemed to freeze for a moment.

"like--"

"That makes some sense—"

Suddenly enlightened, everyone turned to look at the pink Celebi.

Pink Celebi was also completely bewildered, never having imagined it could be like this.

"But what if I absorb power from the Gears of Time and then can't repair the Tower of Time?"

Moreover, I don't know how to draw strength from it—”

"Huh?"

Just then, Sweet Wu Ni, who was helping out in the kitchen, suddenly poked her head out.

"Speaking of which, I think I've seen those gears before."

There's a similar one in the Windswept Forest; I think Mr. Giant Vine showed it to me!

Upon hearing this, everyone in the Fairy Tale Ranch immediately remembered.

"Is that the one who turned the forest turtle into a grass turtle and almost caused amnesia last time?"

Upon hearing this, Green Silavi quickly waved his hand, "That's just something I made myself. It does contain some time power, but it's only used to slow down the aging of ancient trees."

It's worlds apart from the real Gears of Time in your hands.

As if afraid that the crowd still did not understand, the Green Seraphim continued to add.

"Similarly, I also cannot transfer my power to Pinkie Pie. In the end, the only one who can freely manipulate time is Dialga, the god of time."

Even we only have the ability to open spacetime tunnels and travel through them.

"

After hearing her explanation, everyone was somewhat discouraged.

In the end, there was still no way to help Pink Celebi regain its abilities.

"Anyway, let's not rush things, take it slow, and let everything take its natural course." Tong Hua returned the Gear of Time to Riolu and gently patted his and the pink Celebi's heads.

"Everything will be alright, let's all work together to figure something out."

The two little ones nodded, and then everyone went on to do what they were supposed to do.

Pink Swift and Riolu stood guard by the Forest Lizard's bedside, watching him sleep peacefully, which eased their anxiety considerably.

"Moo-woo." "Woo-oh."

Ampharos and Lucario went out together. Both Pokémon were experienced and curious, and full of desire to explore this new world.

They wandered around the fairytale ranch together, sharing their sights and experiences with each other.

"Another world, how enchanting."

I have not even fully understood this world yet, and you are already travelers who have crossed two worlds at such a young age.

'

Ampharos smiled and led Lucario on a tour of the ranch.

Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Tong Hua was still thinking about how to restore the pink Celebi's power.

"Using the gears of time to make food—"

As Tong Hua kneaded the dough, he recalled various settings and information about the Pokémon world in his mind.

"Even if we're going to do it, we need to finalize the menu first. What kind of dishes should we make, and what ingredients should we use to imbue them with the power of time?"

Time—Time—”

Tong Hua muttered to herself, but her hands never stopped working. With the help of her culinary skills, she was automatically producing the goods.

"Poyoyo~"

The three little fairy milk jars, having absorbed enough of the sweet fragrance from Sweet Wuni, poured out cream and filled three large pots.

Tong Hua's gaze inadvertently swept over the three pots of freshly sprayed cream, and suddenly a flash of inspiration struck her.

"By the way, during the final competition of the Spring Festival cooking contest."

Back then, I had only used the oven a few times, but I was already able to master the control of the heat.

It's all because my chef level is high enough!

If I continue to improve my chef level now, my body might automatically learn how to make dishes from the Gear of Time!

Maybe once I level up, even the [Recipe Compendium] will directly provide the recipes.

With this in mind, Tong Hua finally had a general idea of ​​what to do.

Since that's the case, let's level up!

"In short, let's focus on improving the experience first, and then make a large number of high-quality dishes!"

Woohoo! It's getting exciting!

Tong Hua immediately sprang into action, tightening her apron, her eyes blazing with fighting spirit.

"Trembling?" "Meow?"

The foam squirrel and the pickpocket cat stared at each other, neither of the little guys understanding what was wrong with Tong Hua.

However, they still tried their best to help Tong Hua.

"My current level is 31, so let's aim for level 40 first."

Once you reach level 40, you should be able to unlock the "Stand Alone" achievement.

Each profession is considered "proficient" between levels 20 and 40, and "capable of handling things independently" between levels 40 and 60.

Above that are Master and Pro. Based on Tong Hua's current experience, each achievement unlocked...

Your own cheat codes can be further upgraded.

The job panel, new jobs, and recipe guide are all unlocked little by little in this way.

In order to improve leveling efficiency, Tong Hua chose to make a cookie from the recipe book that has the effect of increasing experience points, and planned to continue to use this effect whenever she made food in the future.

"We didn't need to do this before, but now leveling up is the primary goal, so these bonuses are very valuable."

In addition to [Experience Points Boost], Tong Hua has also prepared [Motivation Boost] and [Inspiration Boost], ready to kick off a grueling grind!

In an instant, the atmosphere in the kitchen became lively.

The oven was churning out pastries one after another, and we were even running low on ingredients at home, so we had to send the messenger bird out to buy more several times.
