Elf: Start your slow-paced life after becoming a farmer

Thinking this, Zhenyi floated out of Karl's arms and came to Xiongweiya's side, looking at it with a displeased expression.

Seeing this, Xiong Weiya gritted his teeth and let out a low growl of resentment.

"Snapped!"

Before Seiya could translate Magma's words, Winged Fly manipulated the long fur on its side and smacked Magma hard on the head.

"So, what did Majestic Fang say?" Kar asked Seisenhower, puzzled.

“Booboo~ (It says, is there a third option?)” Espeon pursed its lips speechlessly before translating.

"Huh? You dare to bargain with me?" Karl frowned.

Why does this magnificent tusk look a little dim-witted? Can't it see the situation right in front of it?

Zhenyi then turned to look at Karl: "Phew! (Should we send it back?)"

Xiong Weiya suddenly got angry. "I was just hesitating for a moment, why did you all take it seriously?"

Just then, Pipa's voice came from behind Karl: "Karl! Found it!"

"Huh?" Karl turned around, looking at the excited Piper with some surprise: "You found the secret seasoning so quickly?!"

"Hmm! (Thanks to me!)" Straight Bear came to Karl's feet with a smug look on his face, as if to say, "Praise me!"

Karl chuckled and crouched down, gently patting Straight Bear's head: "Well done, Straight Bear. When we get home, I'll have Serpent make you a strawberry cake separately."

"Ugh! (I want three servings!)"

"No problem, three portions it is."

Carl didn't try to bargain this time, and his direct charge against the bear was indeed a great success.

The giant fang lying on the ground was staring blankly at the bear, having smelled its "baby" on the seemingly weak Pokémon.

Despicable humans! They stole my loot!

But then Xiongweiya thought again, what use would it be even if it guarded the "treasure" in advance? It was no match for Zhenyifa.

Thinking of this, Xiong Weiya closed his eyes helplessly.

"I think I should just give in to him," Xiong Weiya thought to himself.

Chapter 59 The Secret Sour Seasoning and the Unexpected Arrival of Kentavious Croaker (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Under the "kind" gaze of the Winged One, Macho Fang ultimately became Karl's Pokémon.

In fact, Karl wanted to subdue Great Fang not just because Great Fang's appearance suited his taste.

Although Majestic Fangs behaved more docilely in front of Karl, it was only because Winged Fangs had subdued it.

If we leave Magma Tooth to roam freely in the scorching desert, its temperament will inevitably lead to big trouble sooner or later.

Therefore, Karl's subjugation of the Mighty Fang can be said to have solved a major problem for Chairman Yeci ahead of time.

"Sigh, I'm really kind," Karl thought to himself.

After Karl successfully subdued the Great Fang, Straight Bear led the group to the hidden cave where the secret seasoning was located.

In the main storyline of the game, the secret seasoning located in the scorching desert is a sour seasoning with excellent fatigue-restoring effects.

Well, judging from its appearance alone, the color of the secret sour sauce is between pale yellow and yellowish-brown, which looks somewhat similar to the sauerkraut that Karl ate in his previous life.

Karl brought Espeon to the secret seasoning and examined it carefully: "Sure enough, the secret seasoning here is not fully mature yet."

Piper, who was standing nearby, was somewhat disappointed upon hearing this, but the next moment, he saw Kar take out a flowerpot with a diameter of about half a meter from his backpack.

Pipa's lips twitched, and he retorted, "Kalgo, you've really come prepared."

"Thank you for the compliment." Kar raised an eyebrow at Piper, and then, with the help of Espeon, transplanted most of the secret seasoning in the cave into the flowerpots he had prepared beforehand.

"Karl, why don't you take all the secret seasonings here with you?" Nemo asked, watching Karl put the flowerpot back into his backpack.

“This is a customary rule among trainers,” Carl clapped his hands and stood up. “When using these kinds of renewable natural resources, we can’t take them all; we have to leave them a way to survive.”

“So that’s how it is,” Nemo said, sounding somewhat surprised.

Although Nemo has been a trainer for a year, she rarely interacts with other trainers except for battles.

Not to mention, Nemo doesn't need to spend any time looking for resources; she can just tell her family what she needs.

Therefore, Nemo is not very familiar with some of the "unspoken rules" within the trainer community, such as not charging the loser a prize after defeating them.

Since his official debut, Carl has won at least close to seven figures in "pocket money" from losers, which is the difference between the two.

Of course, Nemo wouldn't care about that small amount of money.

After collecting the secret seasoning, Karl took the two little ones and a group of Pokémon back to the off-road vehicle.

Having found the secret seasoning and achieved the main goal of their trip to the Honghong Desert, the three of them, after a brief discussion, unanimously decided to leave the Honghong Desert and head to Ziqin Town for rest.

When Kar drove his off-road vehicle away from the Honghong Desert, it was already six o'clock in the afternoon, and there was still nearly half an hour's drive to Jiqin Town.

After leaving the scorching desert, Kar rolled down the car window, and a cool evening breeze flowed into the carriage, making the three people inside feel relaxed.

“Although this trip to the Red Desert was wonderful, the scenery was just too monotonous.” Pipa said lightly, enjoying the evening breeze. “It’s just sand and more sand. I never want to come back again.”

“Indeed,” Nemo agreed at first, then changed the subject, “But Pokémon in the Broom Desert are still very interesting. If I have the chance, I think I will come again.”

Listening to Pipa and Nemo's conversation, Karl smiled, showing no intention of interfering, but Pipa and Nemo were not going to let him off the hook.

“Karl, what do you think?” Nemo noticed Karl’s gaze in the rearview mirror. “Do you want to go to the scorching desert again?”

“Perhaps, but I’ll only come back after I’ve explored the entire Parthian region.” Karl thought for a moment, then continued, “Once the farm is stable, I might travel to other areas in my spare time.”

Pipa and Nemo's attention was completely drawn to Karl's last words.

"Oh? Kargo, do you already have a plan?" Pipa asked curiously.

“My next stop will probably be the Unova region,” Karl said somewhat uncertainly. “After all, I challenged the Flying Cloud Gym when I passed through Flying Cloud City, so I still need seven badges to collect all the badges in the Unova region.”

Nemo and Piper exchanged a glance; they were well aware of Karl's experience on his last trip to the United States.

“I remember Dean Mufei once mentioned that our college has a program for students to go to Blueberry College for exchange studies every semester,” Pipa said meaningfully.

"Huh? Is that so?" Nemo blinked, seemingly unaware of the matter.

“Yes, after all, Blueberry College and our college are sister schools,” Piper explained. “Blueberry College also sends exchange students to our college for exchange studies every year.”

Karl naturally understood Piper's implication, and he smiled and said, "Yes, it's a very good project. Battling against trainers from other regions will allow you to learn more about Pokémon battles."

Nemo's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and she exclaimed, "Such a wonderful thing! I absolutely must go to Blueberry Academy for an exchange program this year!"

“Ahem, I think your exchange application should be approved very easily, Nemo,” Pipa said helplessly, “but I can’t say for sure.”

“Pip, you underestimate yourself too much.” Karl teased with a laugh, “As a Pokémon Professor’s family member, you are definitely a target of the League’s special attention. It’s quite easy for you to apply for a mere exchange student spot.”

"Really?" Piper asked skeptically. "I've never felt that I'm any different from my classmates."

"Have you forgotten how President Yeci treated you the first time you met her?" Karl reminded him, then continued, "In short, if there's enough time, I'll apply to President Yeci to accompany the exchange students to Blueberry Academy."

“That’s wonderful!” Nemo said excitedly. “Although I’ve been to the Unova region before, I’ve never battled a trainer from there. I think that will be really interesting!”

Just as everyone was chatting enthusiastically, Yuqin Town slowly appeared at the end of the road.

"We'll be in Jiqin Town soon." Karl gently applied the brakes. "Let's think about what to eat tonight..."

Before Carl could finish speaking, he felt a distinct tremor in the seat beneath him, and then out of the corner of his eye, he saw a group of dark-haired Tauros rushing out from the side of the road.

Carl frowned at first, then immediately relaxed, and took out a brand new high-level ball from his waist and threw it in the direction of the group of Kentauros.

With a flash of white light, the massive body of the Great Fang appeared between the Kentiro herd and the off-road vehicle.

"Majestic Fang, use 100,000 horsepower to smash them open!"

Chapter 60 Karl: Could this be...?

Facing the approaching Tauros, the Majestic Tooth's long nose suddenly exhaled a murky breath, and brown ground-type energy surged from its body.

The next moment, Majestic Fang charged toward the Kentauros with unstoppable momentum.

Wherever the mighty fangs passed, the Tauros herd was knocked to the ground like grass crushed by a boulder.

When the muscular mane stood still again, all the Tauros that were heading towards the Mercedes-Benz SUV were lying on the ground, letting out painful cries.

At the same time, a pickup truck sped from the direction the Tauros had come from and finally stopped near the Tauros herd.

A burly man with dark skin, dressed in overalls, jumped off the pickup truck. He looked at Kentauro lying on the ground, then at Majestic Fang standing tall on the earth, and let out a long sigh of relief.

At this moment, Carl jumped off the SUV and went straight to Xiongweiya's side, praising, "Well done, Xiongweiya."

Majestic Fang glanced disdainfully at the Tauros who had been knocked to the ground by its full-power charge, as if to say: These weaklings are not worthy of its attention.

At the same time, the burly man who got out of the pickup truck came up to Carl with a big smile on his face. He first glanced at the imposing-looking man with prominent teeth and said enviously, "This big guy is really strong."

"Oh, not at all, its strength is just average," Karl said honestly.

The burly man raised his eyebrows, thinking that Carl was being modest, so he changed the subject and said, "My name is Rand, and I am a farmer near the town of Ziqin. I was just careless and didn't keep an eye on Kentauros, and they almost hurt you. I'm really sorry."

“It’s alright.” Karl smiled. “My name is Karl, and I’m also a farmer, but my farm is near the town of Key, which is close to the South Padia Sea.”

"Oh? You're a farmer too?" Rand's eyes lit up slightly. "Then we really are quite destined to meet."

Carl then spoke a few more words with Rand and made an appointment to visit his farm before leaving Yuqin Town.

Back in the car, Carl started the engine and briefly explained the whole story to Pipa and Nemo before continuing to drive towards the town of Ziqin.

Chichen, a town with a huge trading market, is in some ways the largest trading market in Padiya.

Although the town of Zuqin is not as large as large cities like Tabletop City and Brewing City, its auction mechanism attracts many people who want to buy goods at high prices.

After finding an inn to stay at, Karl and his two companions went out to find food with their respective Pokémon.

Because of its geographical location at the intersection of the Western Padia Sea, the Hong Hong Desert, and Lake Daguo, the town boasts a rich variety of food options.

After dinner, Karl took the two children to the Jachin Market in the center of Jachin Town.

On the way to the Jaqin market, Karl briefly told the two children what he knew about the Jaqin market.

The Yuqin Market is generally divided into two parts: the general area and the auction area. The former is like an ordinary market, where vendors can set up stalls and sell their goods by paying a certain stall fee.

If someone wants to bring their goods to the auction area for auction, they must submit an application to the administrator of the Yuqin Market a few days in advance.

Once your auction application is approved, the administrator will post your item on the market's bulletin board in advance so that interested parties will be aware of the auction.

Of course, the above is just a general overview of the auction process. Karl was unaware of the details, since he was there to spend money, not to make money.

Speaking of which, Carl remembered that in the game, in addition to regular items such as various healing potions, Poké Balls, and picnic supplies, the Soak Market also had unconventional items such as Heart Drops and Platinum Orbs after certain special conditions were met.

Although the chance of buying a unique limited item in reality is almost zero, what if you do get lucky?

With this in mind, Karl led the two children into the pickled vegetables market.

The real-life Jiqin Market is much larger than the one in the game. Even though it's already around 8 p.m., the market is still bustling with people.

Wandering through the bustling crowd, Karl and his companions listened to the constant hawking cries and curiously observed everything around them.

It must be said that the variety of goods sold in the Yuqin Market is quite rich. In addition to various items for trainers, Karl also saw rare ingredients such as white truffles and Slowpoke tails.

Of course, while the goods here are plentiful, not many actually catch Karl's eye, since most of the truly good items are auctioned off in the auction area.

However, it was a completely different story for the two little ones beside Carl.

"Kalgo, look! The claws of a wild hairy crab!"

"Kalgo, that stall actually sells dragon fire fruit!"

“Kalgo…”

Hearing the two little ones' excited words, Karl responded in kind, after all, he didn't want to dampen Pipa and Nemo's enthusiasm.

About half an hour after the three of them had been browsing, a clear bell rang, drawing the attention of everyone in the market, including Karl and his companions.

"This is the last bell tolling, meaning the Ziqin Market will close in one hour," Karl explained, looking at the two bewildered children.

“Hmm, Karl, how about we take advantage of the market still being open and go check out the auction area?” Piper suggested.

"Nemo, do you want to go?" Carl first asked Nemo for her opinion, and when he saw Nemo nod, he immediately made the decision: "Okay, then we need to speed things up."

Perhaps because of the last bell, when Karl brought the two children to the auction area, he clearly felt that the density of the crowd was decreasing rapidly. Therefore, he easily brought the two children to the auction area of ​​the Yuqin Town Market.

In reality, the auction stalls in the Ziqin Market look like small lecture halls, with each stall separated by a short distance and partitioned by barriers.

Compared to the auction area in the game, which looks like a vegetable market, the auction area in reality looks much more professional.

Upon arriving at the auction area, the three noticed a huge notice board at the entrance, densely listing the items to be auctioned today and tomorrow, with the auction time and stall information following each item.

Carl's gaze swept carefully across the notice board, finally settling on an auction listing at the very end.
