My Pokémon Story of Seasons

This was the first time Tong Hua had made a dish of quality D. Unexpectedly, it had an additional description compared to her previous boiled noodles.

"It really does have special effects, increasing production efficiency and experience. Hmm, this tastes right. It really is Baboon XIV..."

Looking at the description on the panel, Tong Hua couldn't help but fall into thought.

"Since there's something called experience leveling up, does it mean that different professions have a leveling system like in games?"

If we follow the game's logic from the previous life, the six processing methods correspond to the six professions. As long as the materials are processed in the corresponding way, you can gain experience for the corresponding profession.

Then, when the experience bar is full, you will automatically level up. Only after leveling up can you process rarer materials and recipes...

The problem is, this cheat code only displays an information panel for materials and finished products right now. How am I supposed to know my level and experience bar progress?

After thinking for a long time, Tong Hua still couldn't come up with anything, so he took the pot outside and prepared to eat first.

"Game!" The grass turtle obediently took the pot from Tong Hua's hand with its vine whip and placed it on the dining table outside the wooden house.

"Tsk tsk!" The foam squirrel had already brought out everyone's tableware and thoughtfully wiped it until it shone.

"Milky..." The big milk tank had just eaten some hay and wasn't very interested in the curry rice anymore. However, Tong Hua still gave her a plate and picked out some soft and tender vegetables from the curry.

"Oh my?" Since Tian Zhuzhu has no hands, Tong Hua picked her up and fed her by hand.

Furthermore, Tong Hua even made a pot of curry without meat for Sweet Bamboo, since it seems a bit abnormal to make a mangosteen eat meat.

The portion of the worm is served on the largest plate, and its flexible body hairs serve as its hands, even allowing it to freely use a spoon.

"Alright." After serving everyone their meals, Tong Hua clasped her hands together in gratitude for her hard work in preparing the food.

"Let's dig in!"

The Pokémon and Tong Hua ate the delicious food covered in soup and curry sauce together, their eyes immediately lighting up!

The rich aroma of curry coats every grain of rice, and the thoroughly flavorful chunks of meat and potatoes fill your mouth with the taste of curry with every chew.

Even after swallowing, the flavor lingers on your lips and teeth!

"Not bad! Delicious! As expected of a D-grade dish, the taste is truly exceptional!"

The Pokémon were very satisfied, eating one bite after another, even Basquid and Miltank, which only eat vegetables, kept showing off.

"Trembling!" The foam squirrel, which was flying around like a CD player, even went to get a second plate of rice.

"Okay, okay, take your time eating, no rush." ​​Seeing everyone enjoying their meal so much, Tong Hua, who had prepared the food, smiled with satisfaction.

Under a clear sky, the man and his five pets happily ate curry, the aroma even attracting wild Pokémon from the vicinity.

Half an hour later, everyone had eaten their fill without even realizing it.

The curry was all gone, but because they had prepared a lot of rice, about half of it was left. Tong Hua decided to save it for dinner.

"So, I've received enhancements to my crafting ability and experience? But I don't really feel anything special about it?"

Tong Hua looked at the Pokémon around her again, but there didn't seem to be any special changes.

"The effects will probably only be noticeable when we start cooking, but there's no need to cook now..."

Just as she was thinking this, Tong Hua suddenly saw the squirrel pull a clump of fur from its tail. This is a normal molting process; it usually sheds its fur every few days.

Looking at the ball of yarn, Tong Hua suddenly had an idea: "That's it! We can use that to test it out."

Tong Hua moved the used tableware into the kitchen and turned around to rummage through a bag of tools left by the village chief yesterday.

The old village chief had prepared quite a complete set of tools: an axe, sickle, hoe, sledgehammer, fishing net, fishing rod... all kinds of basic tools were available, along with several packets of spring crop seeds and a planting notebook.

Tong Hua was looking for one of the sewing boxes. In her previous life, Tong Hua had learned some basic sewing skills, but she hadn't practiced for a long time and had become somewhat rusty.

"Since sewing is also a type of processing, then improvements in manufacturing capacity should also have an effect on sewing."

Tong Hua sat on the edge of the bed and took out the tail hair that the foam squirrel had just collected.

[Foam Chipmunk Fur: Quality C, fluffy tail fur with excellent feel. Recommended processing methods (sewing/chaining).]

With such a tiny bit of fluff, Tong Hua estimates it's only enough to make a small ornament, at most the size of the palm of her hand.

"Okay, let's give it a try."

Tong Hua casually picked a needle from the sewing box, then spread out the fluff and rubbed it a few times. After wetting it with her mouth, she easily threaded it through the needle.

"I can definitely feel that my production skills have improved. I remember I couldn't thread a needle so easily before."

After threading the needle, Tong Hua picked up a piece of black cloth, aimed the needle, and stabbed it.

Then she began to sew it up stitch by stitch.

Tong Hua was very focused and her hands moved quickly, soon creating an embroidery pattern.

It was clearly the face of a foam squirrel.

"You finished so quickly?" Tong Hua was surprised. This sewing skill was indeed not at her usual level.

Next, Tong Hua cut out the embroidery pattern, sewed it together with another piece of fabric, and stuffed it with cotton.

"Done!"

[Miniature Foam Chipmunk Plush Toy: Quality D. This small foam chipmunk plush toy features a stylish design and a soft, comfortable feel. However, due to its small size, the details are not perfect.]

[Effect: Stress relief - Small pressure point; pressing provides a slight stress-relieving effect and alleviates mental fatigue.]

[Evaluation: A good attempt; you've successfully taken the first step.]

"How can such a small decoration have special effects? It seems that as long as you reach the D grade, any finished product can have special effects."

But does "decompress" mean exactly what it says?

Squeezing the tiny thing in her hand, which was less than the size of her palm, Tong Hua felt that it was indeed quite stress-relieving.

The drowsiness that came over me after lunch seemed to have dissipated; rather than relieving mental fatigue, it made it easier to concentrate.

"It's really a good product. It seems perfect for a large milk tank. With this, my mood shouldn't affect my milk production."

Tong Hua thought about it and decided that it was feasible, so she temporarily put the doll into her pocket and put it away.

"The effects of the increased production power seem to take a while to materialize, so perhaps..."

Tong Hua quickly found some long nails and a few old wooden planks in the storeroom outside the wooden house.

Afterwards, he took his tools and ran to the meadow, starting to search along the edge of the fence for any broken sections.

After finishing their lunch, the Pokémon gathered in twos and threes and began to move around.

Grass Turtle and Sweet Bamboo are still tidying up the vegetable plots. In addition to surrounding the plots with stones, the two little guys are also drawing water from the well to irrigate the fields.

There is a stream to the north of the ranch, which originates from a waterfall deep in the windswept forest to the north. There is also an irrigation canal in the ranch that connects to the stream, but it has long been blocked due to disrepair.

Fortunately, for the current size of the fields, there is no need for irrigation diversion at the moment, and well water is sufficient.

"Game!" The grass turtle manipulated its vine whip, watering the ground with a watering can. Nearby, the worm, having finished its heavy work, was leisurely resting in the field.

"Aww~" Sweet Bamboo followed behind Turtwig, occasionally emitting an enticing fragrance. This caused the wild Pokémon that had just been attracted by the curry aroma to gather again.

Many muckers and muckers perched on the fence and branches, drooling greedily as they watched the sweet bamboo shoots...

"Trembling?" Foam Squirrel was washing dishes in the kitchen when its eyes occasionally glanced out the window and saw this scene.

However, seeing that the bird Pokémon didn't seem to dare to directly attack Sweetie, Foam Squirrel didn't pay much attention and continued washing the dishes.

……

On the other side, Big Milk Can accompanied Tong Hua as they searched along the edge of the meadow for a short while, and soon discovered several damaged areas.

Broken pieces of wood lay scattered on the ground, the paint on them so worn and fragile from rain and weathering that they crumbled at the slightest touch. This was likely caused by a wild Pokémon running into the ranch during its period of neglect.

Tong Hua carefully pulled out the rotten wooden stake. In his previous life, the only woodworking job he had ever done was assembling a school desk he bought from IKEA.

"Let's just do a quick fix for now. The boost to production power should last for a while, so we need to hurry and not waste it."

Insert the found planks into the holes where the original stakes were, then fill them with soil and tamp it down. Finally, nail the planks to the original fence with long nails.

[Simple Wooden Fence: Quality E. A simple cross-shaped reinforced fence; the wood strength is too low, and its lifespan will not be long.]

[Comment: At least you tried.]
