Elf: I Am a Farmer

Chapter 21 Kaina City

Since Swellow successfully evolved into Giant Swellow, Chiba Kaede has finally escaped the predicament of relying entirely on walking for transportation. 🎀ൠ ❻❾Sⓗ𝕌Ｘ.co.uk 🍭🐉

Now, it only takes him 10 minutes to get to Chunhua Town, which has led him to visit Chunhua Town more and more often.

After all, staying in one place for too long can get boring, and that's when you need to find some spice in life.

Although Chiba Maple isn't particularly wealthy yet, since the pasture matured, the quality of the wool produced by the Mare sheep has been further improved after they ate the vibrant grass.

Currently, the quality of the Merri wool produced by Chiba Farm has reached the top grade, and the purchase price of top grade wool is twice that of medium grade wool.

In this way, Chiba Maple can earn around 7 Alliance Coins per month just by selling Merri sheep wool.

However, since the quality of the energy cubes consumed by Swellow and Heracross has been upgraded from low-grade to mid-grade, and other Pokémon have also increased their consumption of low-grade energy cubes due to their rapid improvement in strength, Chiba Maple needs to spend a lot of League Coins to purchase energy cubes.

"This can't go on! If the Great Swellow and the others continue to grow stronger, I might not even be able to afford the basic energy cubes!"

Chiba Kaede complained to Terada Yuri.

"Boss, we estimate that the berries at our Chiba Farm will be ready for harvest soon. We could actually buy a berry mixer and make our own energy cubes."

Terada Yuri had already thought of this idea before, but she didn't mention it because the fruit and tree mixer was quite expensive. However, with the farm's current income, she should be able to afford it.

The main process for making energy cubes involves putting tree fruits into a tree fruit mixer, then controlling the speed of the mixer to mix the tree fruits together and extract their essence.

Making Power Cubes is a course that every Pokémon breeder must learn. She is now familiar with the entire process of making Power Cubes, but she just hasn't had the opportunity to practice it.

After listening to Terada Yuri's suggestion, Chiba Kaede considered it and found that what she said made a lot of sense.

The first batch of tree fruits at Chiba Farm is almost ripe, and more and more tree fruits will be produced in the future.

I definitely can't eat it all myself, and if I sell it, I'll have to find buyers everywhere, and I'll easily get the price lowered. If I make them all into energy cubes, then it will be very convenient whether I use them myself or sell them.

No matter what world you're in, selling raw materials like tree fruits and sheep wool is the most basic thing. After someone buys your raw materials, processes them, and sells the finished product for several times, or even dozens of times, the price of the raw materials.

"Then it's decided. However, there's no place to buy a Berry Mixer in Spring Blossom Town. I'll have to go to Slateport City to buy one. I'll have Swellow fly there with me tomorrow!"

Senna City, this port city, is the most prosperous tourist and shopping city in the Hoenn region, and also a distribution center for goods from various regions. If that accident had not happened, the original owner's family would have settled here.

Chiba Kaede's parents in this world are buried in the cemetery in Kaina City. He had wanted to visit them for a long time, and he took the opportunity of buying the Tree Fruit Mixer to pay his respects.

the next day, early in the morning

"Yuri, I'll be troubling you with things at the farm these next few days!"

"Boss, you're welcome. It's what I should do!"

After giving instructions to Terada Yuri, Chiba Kaede mounted Swellow and flew towards Senna City. ✎🎉 ➅9𝓢𝓗ⓤx.匚𝑜𝓂 🎃💜

When Chiba went to Slateport City this time, he only brought Swellow and Poliwag. The reason for bringing Poliwag was that Slateport City is a coastal city, and if he went to the beach, he would feel more at ease having a Water-type Pokémon.

With Heracross on the farm, he wasn't worried about safety.

Now, Swellow has fully adapted to its evolved body, and during this time, its strength has increased significantly until recently when it has stabilized. This is the benefit of evolution.

After each Pokémon evolves, its base stats increase significantly, resulting in a period of explosive power. The length of this period varies, depending on the Pokémon's accumulated strength before evolution.

As for the Giant Swallow, it goes without saying that it was able to fight Heracross to a standstill during its Awful Swallow stage. After this period of improvement, Heracross is no match for the Giant Swallow now, and the Giant Swallow can even defeat it in a short time.

This dealt a huge blow to Heracross's confidence, so its training has become even more rigorous, without Chiba Kaede having to urge it on.

What Chiba Kaede can do now is to provide good logistics and create conditions for Heracross so that it can focus on improving its strength without distractions.

Even with Chiba Maple on its back, Swellow's flight speed is still among the fastest of all Pokémon. This time, they arrived in Slateport City in less than half an hour.

After arriving in Slateport City, Chiba Kaede felt like she had returned to modern society. Everywhere she looked, there were tall buildings and crowds of people, which was in no way inferior to the big cities of her previous life. In fact, the presence of Pokémon made it even more fascinating.

Using the mobile map navigation, Chiba Kaede arrived at an Elf Department Store, where the products were incredibly diverse, far surpassing anything found in the shops of Spring Blossom Town.

Led by the sales assistant, Chiba Kaede first arrived at the shop selling tree fruit mixers. Since the price was clearly marked, Chiba Kaede had no room for bargaining.

The price of the Tree Fruit Mixer was 10 Alliance Coins. After paying, Chiba Maple's wallet emptied again, leaving him with only 3 Alliance Coins.

However, once he sells the sheep wool in a few days, he will receive another amount of Alliance Coins, so he has nothing to worry about. This is the sustainable development model.

If Chiba Maple hadn't invested in building Chiba Farm, but instead chose to become a trainer and take on quests to acquire resources, firstly, she would have wasted a lot of time doing quests, and secondly, her income would be unstable, potentially leading to periods of hunger and irregular meals.

The fruit and tree mixer is quite large and heavy, so Chiba Maple couldn't possibly carry it herself. After telling the seller her farm's address, the seller would deliver it to her home within three days.

Afterwards, Chiba Kaede explained the situation to Terada Yuri and told her to prepare to receive the equipment.

After arranging the fruit mixer, Chiba Kaede bought some gifts from the department store and then followed the navigation to the Kaina City Police Department.

He came to the police station for two reasons: one was to thank Ms. Officer Jenny of Kaina City for her help, and the other was to inquire about the exact location of his parents' graves.

Upon arriving at the police station, Chiba Kaede discovered that it was much larger than the one in Chunhua Town, and extremely busy, with police officers constantly coming and going.

"Hello, is Ms. Officer Jenny at the police station?"

Chiba Kaede asked a young policewoman.

"Is there anything important you need from our bureau chief? If it's not too important, I can help you resolve it!"

"That's what the policewoman replied."

"Miss Officer Jenny helped me a lot before, and I came here specifically to thank her. I also want to ask about a few things. I wonder if you could pass on a message for me: Chiba Kaede from Chunhua Town has come to visit!"

Chiba Kaede hadn't expected that Officer Jenny from Kaina City was the police chief, but thinking about it, it made sense. If she didn't have the power, how could she have secured so much compensation for him?

Seeing that Chiba Kaede said that, the policewoman didn't say anything more. She asked Chiba Kaede to wait in the lobby for a while, and then she went to inform Miss Officer Jenny.

Officer Jenny, who was handling her affairs, was somewhat surprised when she heard her subordinate's report. However, she still remembered Chiba Kaede; he was a very strong boy.

"Excuse me, Ms. Officer Jenny!"

After obtaining Officer Jenny's permission, Chiba Kaede was led into her office by the policewoman. Looking at the busy Officer Jenny, Chiba Kaede couldn't help but apologize.

"Xiao Feng, you're too kind. What brings you here?"

Miss Officer Jenny smiled at Chiba Kaede.

"I happened to be in Kaina City on some business, so I thought I'd come and see Miss Officer Jenny to thank you for your help!"

"It's what I should do, you don't need to be so polite!"

After exchanging pleasantries, Chiba Kaede inquired about the location of his parents' graves and then took his leave of the police station.
