Elf: I Am a Farmer

Chapter 10 Wishes Fulfilled

After seeing Rina Usui off, Kaede Chiba didn't waste any time and went straight to the police station.

By the time Chiba Kaede arrived at the police station, it was only 8:30.

"Not bad, you even knew to come early. But why are you always running around everywhere? I can never find you whenever I look for you!"

Upon seeing Chiba Kaede enter, Ms. Officer Sa glanced at the clock on the wall and couldn't help but tease him.

"I'm sorry, Miss Officer Jenny, I took the Pride Swallow to train on the outskirts of Orange Blossom Forest yesterday and didn't return until dark."

Chiba Kaede scratched his head awkwardly after hearing Officer Jenny's teasing. After all, he was the one who asked her for a favor, but she had disappeared without a trace, which was really unreasonable.

"Okay, I'm not joking with you anymore!"

I contacted Mr. Zhuyuan yesterday and explained that I wanted to buy Zhuyuan Farm, but he didn't agree immediately. He wants to meet with you in person, and the time is set for 9:00 AM.

Miss Officer Jenny explained the situation.

Chiba Kaede was also a little confused, wondering what Grandpa Takehara wanted to discuss.

However, since the other party had made a request, he could only wait for them to arrive before responding.

Before long, an elderly man with gray hair and a kind face walked in.

Needless to say, this must be Grandpa Zhuyuan.

"Grandpa Zhuyuan, you're here!"

When Miss Officer Jenny saw the old lady come in, she quickly went forward to greet her.

Of course, Chiba Kaede wouldn't just sit there dumbly; she went over to greet him as well.

"So, you're the one who wants to buy my farm's Chiba Maple?"

After scrutinizing Chiba Kaede for a moment, Takegen Jiro asked directly. ☢🐠 6❾Ŝ𝓗ⓤˣ.ⓒσⓜ 🎉🏆

"Yes, Grandpa Zhuyuan, I want to buy your farm!"

Chiba Kaede could only reply politely.

"You should give up. Running a farm is not an easy thing, and it's not something a kid like you can handle."

Takegen Jiro directly rejected Chiba Kaede.

In fact, he had already planned to refuse when he received Ms. Officer Jenny's call.

However, in order not to hurt Chiba Kaede too much, she planned to come and refuse him in person today.

"Um, why is that? I feel like I can run the farm well."

Of course, Chiba Kaede wouldn't give up her plans just because of Takegen Jiro's words.

"Oh, since you're so confident, how about we have a Pokémon duel?"

"If you can beat me, I'll give you that chance, okay?"

Seeing how stubborn Chiba Kaede was, Takegen Jiro decided to teach him a lesson so that he would give up.

"No problem. If I lose, I won't have the face to ask you to sell the farm to me."

Chiba Kaede readily agreed when Takegen Jiro proposed using a Pokémon battle to decide whether to sell the farm to him.

"Very good, young people should have this kind of indomitable spirit."

"Then we'll have to trouble Ms. Officer Jenny to be our referee!"

Seeing that Chiba Kaede agreed so readily, Takegen Jiro's impression of him improved greatly, and he turned to Officer Jenny and said.

"No problem, the venue is in the backyard of the police station, come with me."

When Officer Jenny saw that Takehara Jiro wanted to use a Pokémon battle to make Chiba Kaede back down, she also showed an excited expression.

She knew that Qianye Feng's proud swallow was quite strong, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to lead him out of the Orange Blossom Forest.

"Both sides will engage in a 1v1 Pokémon battle until one Pokémon is unable to battle or surrenders. The match now begins!"

As Officer Jenny finished speaking, both of them summoned their Pokémon onto the field.

The spirit released by Takegen Jiro was a large wolfhound.

This is a Dark-type Pokémon, the evolved form of the Poliwag. It looks majestic and has a very fierce appearance.

Upon its appearance, the large wolfhound immediately unleashed a powerful aura upon Aoguyan.

Chiba Kaede knew that this was the intimidating characteristic of the Great Wolfhound, which could frighten enemies and thus reduce their attack power.

However, Chiba Kaede's proud swallow had experienced many battles and even defeated the straight-running bear, the overlord of the forest. How could it be afraid of the intimidation of a large wolfhound? It struggled for a moment and then got rid of the wolfhound's intimidation.

"Not bad, your proud swallow actually managed to break free from the intimidation of the large wolfhound!"

Upon witnessing this scene, Takegen Jiro couldn't help but praise it.

"Great Hound, use Dark Pulse!"

At Takegen Jiro's command, the Great Wolfhound unleashed a terrifying aura of malice from its body, which then enveloped the Tall Bone Swallow.

"Proud Swallow, summon your willpower and unleash the Electric Drill attack!"

Chiba Kaede did not choose to dodge, after all, the range of the evil wave was too large.

The proud swallow streaked across like lightning, enduring the damage from the evil wave, and pecked directly at the large wolfhound's body.

This time, Aoguyan didn't hold back, but instead used all her strength. After taking the hit, the big wolfhound was sent flying and crashed heavily to the ground.

"Big wolfhound, are you alright?"

Hearing the old man's call, the large wolfhound struggled to get up, and finally managed to stand up with its willpower, though it was panting heavily.

"Okay, come back now, big wolfhound!"

To Chiba Kaede's surprise, Takegen Jiro did not choose to let the Great Wolf Dog continue fighting.

"Sigh, looks like I'm really getting old. If I were younger, I'd definitely teach you a lesson!"

Seemingly to cover up his earlier embarrassment, Takegen Jiro spoke loudly to Chiba Kaede.

"Yes, yes, you're being lenient with me, otherwise I definitely wouldn't have gotten the better of you!"

Upon witnessing this scene, Chiba Kaede could only offer the compliments in accordance with the old man's words.

He dared not act arrogantly at this time, otherwise he would anger the old man and drive him away, and then who would sell his farm?

"I was determined to refuse your offer to buy my farm at such a young age!"

Takegen Jiro spoke seriously to Chiba Kaede.

"Ahem!"

After coughing, he continued:

"My farm is near Petalburg Woods, and wild Pokémon often run into my farm and cause damage. If I don't have enough strength, I won't be able to protect myself when I encounter danger."

It was only then that Chiba Kaede understood why the old man wouldn't sell the farm to him; frankly, it was for his own good, and he didn't want anything to happen to him.

"However, I just tested your Pokémon's strength, and it's quite good. It should be enough to ensure your safety, but you can't let your guard down, understand?"

At this point, Takegen Jiro had already tacitly agreed to sell the farm to Chiba Kaede.

"I understand, Grandpa Zhuyuan. I'll be careful from now on, don't worry!"

Seeing that the old man had changed his attitude, Chiba Kaede quickly made a promise.

Subsequently, the two completed the farm transaction in the presence of Miss Officer Jenny.

Perhaps due to his fondness for Chiba Kaede, Takegen Jiro lowered the price of the farm to 38 Alliance Coins and offered to give him all the furniture and items he had previously used.

Chiba Kaede was extremely grateful for this!

After the transaction, Chiba Maple had just over 10 Alliance Coins left, but he was already quite satisfied with that much.

Congratulations, our little farmer!

After Takegen Jiro left, Officer Jenny congratulated Chiba Kaede.

"Thank you so much, Miss Officer Jenny! Otherwise, I probably wouldn't have been able to close the deal!"

If it weren't for Officer Jenny's help in contacting Takegen Jiro, Chiba Kaede would have known without a doubt that Takegen Jiro would have refused the deal immediately upon seeing that he was only 11 years old.

Since Takegen Jiro needed a few more days to finish up the farm's affairs, he asked Chiba Kaede to wait three days before moving in.

Chiba Kaede had no objection to this request. He could take advantage of these few days to learn about the operating model of nearby farms and how he should manage his own farm in the future.

Of course, when he wanted to buy the farm, he had already considered several Pokémon that he could raise, such as Miltank, Mareep, and Beedrill.

The Moo Moo milk produced by the large milk tank is very popular.

Mare sheep can produce wool.

Beedrill bees can collect honey.

These can all bring considerable profits, but unfortunately, Miltank is an expensive Pokémon, and he may not be able to afford it.

Compared to other farms, his farm is now in dire need of rebuilding and he has to be very careful with his finances, otherwise his savings won't last long.
