Elf: I Am a Farmer

Chapter 40 The Big Milk Tank is in Hand

The three sat in the pickup truck, looking at the scenery outside and chatting about interesting things they had seen and heard during their trip, their laughter filling the air.

Of course, it was mainly Chiba Kaede and Maki Yoshihiko who were talking. Our mild social anxiety sufferer, Usui Rina, could only chat comfortably with people she knew well, but she didn't find their conversation boring.

Afterwards, Chiba Kaede asked some questions about the precautions for raising Milk Tanks, and Maki Yoshihiko did not hold back, answering almost every question.

In this friendly atmosphere, the car slowly came to a stop, and Chiba Kaede knew they had arrived at their destination.

After getting off the bus, Chiba Kaede saw a group of Milk Tanks leisurely grazing on the distant grassland, and even further away, several Tauros were running at full speed.

Aside from these two types of spirits, Chiba Kaede didn't see any other spirits.

Chiba Kaede knew that Miltank only had females, while Tauros only had males, and that to get Miltank to lay a Pokémon egg, she needed to raise a Tauros.

This also explains why Tauros are present on Uncle Maki Yoshihiko's farm.

"Uncle, your farm doesn't seem to be very big!"

After looking around, Chiba Kaede realized that Maki Yoshihiko's farm was surrounded by a fence, and the boundary could be seen at a glance. It was much smaller than her own farm, no wonder she had already reached her limit after raising only 20-odd dairy cows.

"On the one hand, Orange City has a large population, and even the land prices in the suburbs are relatively expensive. On the other hand, I don't want to live too hard and I don't want to hire people to help manage the farm, so I've kept the farm at its current size."

Maki Yoshihiko responded to Chiba Kaede's question.

Upon hearing this, Chiba Kaede realized that Maki Yoshihiko and Takegen Jiro, who sold him the farm, were actually the same kind of people. Their motivation for running the farm wasn't simply to make a lot of money; they probably just wanted to escape the crowds and live a solitary life. 😾♛ ❻➈ˢ𝕙𝕌Ⓧ.ᶜ𝐨Μ ★😾

Everyone has the right to choose their own lifestyle, so Chiba Kaede doesn't think there's anything wrong with it.

Through Chiba Kaede's observation of the Milk Pots, she discovered that they were well-fed, with strong limbs and bright eyes. Moreover, they were very affectionate towards Maki Yoshihiko, which undoubtedly indicated the quality of these Milk Pots.

After some observation, Chiba Kaede has made up her mind to buy the Miltank Pokémon Egg from Maki Yoshihiko's Farm.

"Uncle, I've decided to buy the Miltank Pokémon eggs from your farm. How many Miltank eggs do you have for sale, and at what price?"

Chiba Kaede inquired.

"I currently plan to sell four Miltank Pokémon eggs, and I'll price them at 100,000 League Coins each!"

After hearing Chiba Kaede's question, Maki Yoshihiko thought for a moment and then answered.

Although Chiba Kaede knew that Miltank Pokémon eggs wouldn't be cheap, she didn't expect them to cost 10 times as much as Mareep Pokémon eggs.

However, Chiba Kaede felt relieved when she thought about Miltank's base stat total of 490.

Miltank cannot evolve, but with its base stats, it can become quite powerful with just a little training.

"I want all four Miltank Pokémon eggs!"

After thinking it through, Chiba Kaede didn't hesitate and spoke directly.

Once this opportunity is missed, it may be gone forever. If you miss this chance to buy a Miltank Pokémon egg, you might not be able to buy one next time even if you have the money. As for going back to Chengdu to buy it, that would be too time-consuming and laborious, and there's no guarantee you'd be able to buy it there either.

With the League Coins earned from selling Mareep wool during this period, Chiba Kaede now has enough League Coins to buy these four Miltank Pokémon eggs.

However, after buying the Miltank Pokémon egg, he only had tens of thousands of League Coins left in his savings. Fortunately, he didn't have any major expenses recently, and he could continue to recover his losses by selling Mareep wool.

Afterwards, Chiba Kaede and Usui Rina were taken by Maki Yoshihiko to a room in his house.

There were more than 10 Pokémon eggs inside. Chiba Kaede knew that these were Miltank Pokémon eggs, but Maki Yoshihiko was only willing to sell him 4 Miltank Pokémon eggs. He was already very grateful and had no other thoughts. Of course, the main reason was that he was relatively poor.

"Don't be fooled by the number of Pokémon eggs I have here. Most of them have already been reserved, but people just haven't had a chance to pick them up yet."

Fearing that Chiba Kaede might misunderstand, Maki Yoshihiko quickly explained.

"Uncle, you don't need to explain. You're already being very kind of me by selling me four Miltank Pokémon eggs, so why would I mind!"

After hearing Maki Yoshihiko's explanation, Chiba Kaede suddenly understood.

Miltank is a very rare Pokémon in the wild. If a Pokémon trainer wants to catch one, they can only try their luck at farms that raise Miltank and see if they have any Pokémon eggs for sale. As for mature Miltank, no one will sell them.

Thinking of this, Chiba Kaede couldn't help but feel very fortunate. If he had come any later, he probably wouldn't have even had four Miltank Pokémon eggs left.

At noon, Chiba Kaede and Usui Rina enjoyed a sumptuous lunch at the invitation of Maki Yoshihiko.

Among them, the yogurt made with MooMoo milk is particularly delicious and impressive. According to Maki Yoshihiko, it is fermented using his exclusive secret recipe and is only used to entertain guests.

After lunch, Chiba Kaede expressed her desire to go back.

Then, Maki drove his pickup truck and took the two back to the Petalburg City Pokémon Center before saying goodbye and leaving.

After resolving the most important matter upon arriving in Orange Blossom City, Chiba Kaede immediately felt much more relaxed.

What Chiba Kaede needs to consider now is which Pokémon to use to challenge the Petalburg Gym. Judging from the team he currently has, Chiba Kaede feels there is a high probability that he will fail.

Of the Pokémon he brought, only Heracross was truly formidable. Poliwag had only recently evolved and was still developing, while the other Pokémon were mostly in their initial stages and their combat power was not yet fully formed.

"Yuri, I've already bought the Miltank Pokémon egg. However, the egg can't be teleported, so I'll have to bring it back myself. I plan to challenge the Petalburg Gym. Could you please teleport Swellow over? I plan to ride Swellow back after I finish the gym challenge tomorrow!"

After much deliberation, Chiba Kaede finally decided to send Swellow over so he could challenge Petalburg Gym in his prime, otherwise he felt he would have regrets.

Moreover, he didn't plan to walk back on his own two feet, as that would be too much effort and not worth it.

"I understand. There's nothing going on at the farm right now, and Swellow's temporary departure won't have any impact. I wish you the best of luck in the gym battle!"

After listening to Chiba Kaede's explanation, Terada Yuri was only surprised that Chiba Kaede wanted to challenge the dojo, but she would not interfere with his decision. All she could do was fully support her boss's decision.

Chiba Kaede waited less than fifteen minutes before receiving a call from Terada Yuri, who said she had sent the Great Swallow over and that he should be ready to receive it.

Afterwards, Chiba Kaede found Nurse Joy and received Swellow's Poké Ball. This trip to Petalburg City, lasting more than half a month, was arguably the longest time he had been separated from Swellow since he had transmigrated to this world.

"Wang Yan, how have you been lately?"

Chiba Kaede stroked the feathers of the Great Swallow and then asked.

The Great Swallow didn't say anything, but rubbed its head against Chiba Maple, which was actually a way of showing its dependence on Chiba Maple.

"I'm sorry, Da Wang Yan, I left you on the farm for so long. I didn't consider your feelings. I promise I won't do that again."

Chiba Kaede was already regretting not bringing the Giant Swallow with her this time.

The connection between the two is much closer than that between other elves. It can be said that Chiba Kaede's current life is inseparable from the efforts of Swellow. They support each other and achieve success together.

As for the Great Swallow, it did miss Chiba Maple very much during this time. It knew that Chiba Maple did not take it with it so that it could protect its home, so it did not blame Chiba Maple. However, it could not help but feel empty and abandoned.

It still couldn't get used to life without Chiba Maple by its side, even though there were many proud swallows to keep it company on the farm.

At this moment, the Great Swallow was very happy to hear that Chiba Maple would not abandon it in the future. It then gestured for Chiba Maple to climb onto its back, as it wanted to carry Chiba Maple into the air for a while.

Chiba Kaede had no objections. This time, the Flying King Swellow flew for almost half an hour before returning to the Pokémon Center.

It's probably because the Great Swallow felt that only by flying with Chiba Kaede could he feel its presence.

"You and Da Wang Yan have such a good relationship!"

Rina Usui watched the interaction between Kaede Chiba and Swan and couldn't help but feel envious.

"You're the same as your forest lizard, aren't you?"

Chiba Kaede smiled and responded to Usui Rina.
