My Pokémon Story of Seasons

Chapter 171 Taking Charge Independently and Reason

Spring of the 112th year of the Alliance Calendar, May 4th, sunny.

Nine days have passed since the forest lizard arrived at Fairy Tale Ranch.

During these nine days, the forest lizard, just as he had said, not only did not cause Tong Hua any trouble, but was also extremely self-disciplined, never forgetting to cultivate and supervise his companions' cultivation.

Every morning, he wakes up earlier than Tong Hua's biological clock.

And every day he would run to the coast of the nearby back mountain to watch the sunrise.

In his own words, this was because he had never seen the light in the dark future, so even phenomena that seemed commonplace in the past, such as sunrise and sunset, appeared exceptionally beautiful and should not be missed.

Every time the sun rises above the horizon, the forest lizard stands quietly on the rocks, letting the golden sunlight bathe its entire body. Its blades shimmer in the morning light, as if absorbing the sun's energy.

After watching the sunrise, he would return to the ranch on time to begin his rigorous morning training.

Riolu was always the first to join in. The two Pokémon sparred in the morning mist, their leaf blades and bone clubs clashing and making a crisp clanging sound.

Sometimes, Lucario would also come to guide the pair, and her battle experience was invaluable to Riolu and Grovyle.

After morning training, the three Pokémon returned to the cabin together to eat the breakfast prepared by Tong Hua.

"Kuku".

The forest lizard thoughtfully carried Tong Hua's bowls and plates and even helped distribute the tableware, inadvertently taking away the job that should have belonged to the foam squirrel.

"Terrible—" "Game."

Seeing this, the forest tortoise was the first to step forward and comfort the foam squirrel.

And this was just the beginning. In the following days, the forest lizard helped with all sorts of chores whenever it had free time: washing clothes, washing dishes, sweeping, mopping, and hanging clothes to dry—it practically took over all the activities that the foam squirrel loved most.

Even the jobs of the staff at Happiness Dessert Shop have been gradually taken over by Riolu and Denryu.

Most importantly, their original intention was to repay Tong Hua, which made the foam squirrel too embarrassed to step forward and stop them, so it could only watch from the side with a wronged expression.

The foam squirrel was like an incompetent husband, watching as others took away everything he liked, without even having the right to protest.

But every cloud has a silver lining.

The housework at home has been taken care of, and Riolu and Dianlong are also helping to look after the staff at Happiness Dessert Shop.

Bubble Chipmunk suddenly had a lot of free time, and could relax every day, playing around with Pickpocket Cat and Sweetie.

This situation has persisted to this day without change.

Noon today, in the kitchen of the wooden house.

With the final dish plated, the experience boost from the [Experience Points Increase] effect finally pushed Tong Hua's cooking level to the 40th mark!

"Hahaha! I did it!"

It took Tong Hua nine days to finally achieve this!

Just then, as expected, the cheat code appeared.

[Unlock Achievement: Stand Alone]

[Legion Restoration is now available!]

As the notification disappeared, a brand new panel appeared before Tong Hua's eyes.

But Tong Hua didn't look at the panel; instead, she directly called out the [Recipe Guide].

"Tsk tsk, what a pity. We still didn't use the recipe created with the Gears of Time—"

But you've unlocked the levitational? That's a quest, isn't it? At least it's unlocked.

The so-called "Li Fu" is actually a special quest system in the game "Baboon XIV".

Because players can use a single account to play all classes in Baboon XIV, the Levite system was introduced to help players level up.

Simply put, the quests are daily tasks. You can get two quest quotas every day. Players can freely choose which class to use to accept the quests. The experience gained after completing the quests will also be used to upgrade the level of that class.

For example, if you accept a quest using the chef profession, the quest requirement will be to submit a specific dish that the chef can make, and then experience and physical item rewards will be given in multiples based on the quality of the dish.

Tong Hua looked at the Rune panel, and sure enough, this thing was also unlocked simultaneously for all classes after it was unlocked.

Just like the [Recipe Guide]!

"However, it seems that, just like in the game, the quota for the Love Charm is shared by all classes."

The current goal is to quickly level up the chef and unlock the recipes for the Gear of Time as soon as possible.

With the talisman, leveling up will be even faster.

Tong Hua was overjoyed and immediately checked the Li Fu panel.

"It's just right, it's just right."

The Token panel displays all the cooking quests from level 1 to 40, with each level spanning 5.

The limit for processing is 1, which means that at most one processing task can be completed at present.

"Hmm? Isn't the credit limit supposed to be restored twice a day?"

"Seven days? That means it can only be completed once a week?"

Although the acquisition speed of credits is much slower compared to the game, Tong Hua did not feel disappointed.

After all, it's good enough to have something; there's no need to be picky.

Tong Hua's gaze naturally fell on the highest-level quest available at the moment, level 40.

[Collection Commission: Cheese for the Rangers]

[Summary: The Ranger Alliance's Chief Ranger is coming to Chicory Village for an inspection. Please prepare food for him. His favorite is smooth rosehip cheese; please provide this dish.]

[Basic Rewards: 60000 Experience Points, 6000 Alliance Coins]

[Required Item: Roland Berry Cheese*3]

"The localization is pretty good—but how come it's only 60000 experience points?"

Tong Hua then brought up the profession panel and looked at his level 40 experience bar.

Experience points: 200/155000

6 experience points, which is less than half a level of experience.

However, Tong Hua quickly realized something was wrong. The reward he had seen was only the basic reward, in other words, the reward for submitting D.

The lowest reward you'll get is from items of Tier 1 quality.

If you submit high-quality items, the rewards you receive will increase exponentially.

"B-grade cheese can be sold for 10 times the price?!"

Tong Hua's eyes lit up immediately. Submitting a Grade B Roland Berry Cheese would earn him 60 experience points, enough to level him up several times!

What surprised him even more was that the Alliance Coin reward would be multiplied tenfold, amounting to 60,000 Alliance Coins!

Although it's just a small amount of money compared to the current turnover of the dessert shop, who wouldn't like free money?

Furthermore, in addition to this basic reward, submitting high-quality items will also grant you extra mystery rewards!

Tong Hua accepted the task almost without thinking. At the same moment he chose to accept, the recipe for the Roland Berry Cheese required for the task was also displayed in the [Recipe Encyclopedia].

"It doesn't look difficult. The materials can be bought from the distributors in Fengrao Town—"

Okay! Let's get started!

"Gurgle gurgle—"

Just as Tong Hua was about to make a go and try to make cheese, an untimely stomach growl came from beside her.

"Chirp chirp—" It turned out that the messenger bird was hungry.

"Boyoyo—" the three little fairy milks echoed in agreement.

It's already noon, it's about time to take a break—

Tong Hua then realized it was lunchtime and quickly put down her tools, saying, "Sorry, sorry, let's eat first."

He looked around the kitchen and found that not only Delibird and Sylveon, but all the other Pokémon were also staring at him longingly.

Riolu, Forest Lizard, Electric Dragon, and also Foam Squirrel and Pickpocket Cat.

Everyone stared at him with their big, watery eyes, making Tong Hua scratch his head awkwardly.

Inside the cabin, Slimie and Minifu are watching cartoons on TV with Lucario.

"Huh?"

Upon hearing Tong Hua say in the kitchen that she was preparing lunch, Tian Wu Ni rushed into the kitchen to help!

"I want to help too!"

Foam squirrels aren't the only ones whose jobs have been taken by the forest lizards!

The same goes for Sweet Dance. If it weren't for her irreplaceable role of feeding the little fairy milk with sweet fragrance, she would have had all her jobs taken away long ago.

Sweet Wu Ni puffed out her cheeks, squeezed next to Tong Hua, and consciously washed her little hands clean.

Her sweet fragrance spread throughout the kitchen, quickly reviving the three previously shriveled little fairy milk babies.

After a quick meal, everyone had a simple lunch at the open-air restaurant.

At the dinner table, Tong Hua suddenly spoke up.

"By the way, Riolu, you, Ampharos, and Grovyle don't need to help this afternoon."

I'm planning to try out some new things, and I'll have Foam Chipmunk and Pickpocket Cat help me with that. You guys go do what you want to do.

Tong Hua said this because Bubble Squirrel had privately mentioned it to him many times.

Seeing the pitiful look in the foam squirrel's eyes, Tong Hua, though not quite understanding, still spoke up for him.

Riolu paused for a moment, then nodded in understanding: "I understand. Let's go train in the nearby forest this afternoon."

The forest lizard nodded, having no objection.

After lunch, everyone dispersed.

Tong Hua and the foam squirrel team up to try making cheese, completing the mission while also developing new products for the dessert shop.

Meanwhile, Riolu and Sceptile, along with Ampharos, Pink Celebi, and Lucario, went to Windswept Forest.
