Pokemon Settler

Why can't I catch fish today? Is it because of the bait?

Rock put the fishing rod on his shoulder and held a cowboy hat in his other hand to fan the cool breeze in front of his eyes. He looked at the rushing Jingkong River and murmured to himself.

This forest located in the middle and lower reaches of the Jingkong River is quite large. Rock strolled through it, preparing to find another suitable fishing spot.

The overlapping tree crowns provide a large area of ​​shade. Water vapor is evaporating from the river bank, and the air is moist and slightly cool.

Various colorful wild flowers bloomed in the forest, and several big butterflies danced among the flowers.

The dense bushes are also full of gem-like berries, and various bird Pokémon such as Pidgeot, Pidgeot, and Arrogant Swallow sing happily on the treetops.

The woods in midsummer are full of life, and if Rock hadn't caught any fish, he would definitely be in a very happy mood at this time.

Unfortunately, he was in no mood to take in his surroundings right now.

Rock, who was bored, kicked a round pebble under his feet.

Suddenly, the kick was deflected, and the pebbles were kicked away from his path and rolled towards his right front.

Rock raised his eyebrows and watched the stone roll further and further away, and finally stopped after hitting a big tree.

Looking at the stone that was almost twenty meters away from him, Rock hesitated for a while and finally did not walk over.

Just as he was about to move on, he suddenly took a quick glance around and discovered something very interesting.

This made Rock change his attention and walked straight towards the stone he kicked away.

But he wasn't here to pick up stones. After walking closer, Rock looked up and observed the big tree blocking the pebbles.

The tree in front of him is roughly twelve or thirteen meters tall. Compared with the giant trees in his territory that are often over twenty meters tall, although it is still far behind, the size is indeed not very small. It can be called a A big tree.

The crown of this big tree is broad and round, the branches spread widely, and the bark is a very beautiful purple-brown color.

What caught Rock's attention were the emerald-green fruits among the branches of this tree.

The fruit is only about the size of a fist and is in the shape of a ball with four closed petals. Bursts of fruity aroma emanate from the top and penetrate into Rock's nose.

These small green fruits are hidden among the same green leaves, making them very hidden from a distance. If Rock hadn't been more observant, he almost wouldn't have noticed it.

Haha, does this count as whether Ji Tai is here?

The big tree Rock found was a fruit tree, and the emerald-green fruits on it were a type of tree fruit called wood fruit.

When he was cultivating a tree orchard before, Rock also learned some knowledge about various types of tree fruits. Muzi fruit is also one of the tree fruit varieties that will be planted in his tree orchard in the future, so Rock recognized these tree fruits at a glance. .

Muzi fruit has a very practical effect, which can relieve the elves who eat it from abnormal conditions or chaotic conditions.

At the same time, the taste of muzi fruit is also very good, with a rich and balanced taste without a trace of sourness.

Moreover, the pulp has high nutritional value, and if eaten regularly, it will also be of great benefit to the elf's body.

However, because of this, it takes a long time for the fruit to mature.

It was for this reason that Roque did not choose muzi fruit when he first cultivated the tree orchard. In fact, it takes too long for this kind of tree fruit to generate profits. From planting to the first ripening of the fruit, it takes up to three years.

Therefore, Rock finally chose to give priority to planting apple and orange fruits that can bear fruit faster. He planned to discuss other tree fruit varieties after he had a stable income.

And for the convenience of management, even if he wants to plant other tree fruits, Rock will not add too many varieties to his tree orchard, and will only maintain the number of three to five kinds.

However, it is indeed an unexpected surprise to find this mature muzi fruit tree now.

Judging from the thickness of the trunk, this muzi fruit tree has been growing for at least twenty years. Rock roughly counted and found that there were about a hundred muzi fruits on it.

In addition to being cultivated artificially, the fruit trees in the Pokémon world also grow in places with suitable conditions in the wild.

Thanks to the superior natural conditions of this world, many highly adaptable tree fruit varieties are widely distributed in the wild. This is also one of the food sources for many vegetarian wild elves.

Rock found a lot of tree fruits in his own territory. Of course, those tree fruits were of relatively common varieties, so he ate them all as ordinary fruits.

In general, the number of tree fruits distributed in the wild environment roughly determines the rarity of the tree fruits, and the rarity of the tree fruits is directly proportional to the value of the tree fruits.

Therefore, although there are not many tree fruits distributed in the wild, it will not affect the income of fruit farmers who specialize in growing tree fruits.

Even if there are some trainers who occasionally trek in the wild and are lucky enough to find a few rare tree fruits, it will not have an impact on the market.

The demand for all kinds of tree fruits in the market is very high every year. Many trainers who are short of money will specifically look for tree fruits in the wild as their source of income.

The muzi fruit tree that Rock found is a relatively rare tree fruit variety. The price of a single fruit is as high as 20 yuan, which is the price of the apple and orange fruits he currently grows in the orchard. double.

However, he was not going to sell these muzi fruits, but was going to leave them to his elves.

From Rock's point of view, money can be earned at any time, but what is more important is that his elf can improve his physical fitness. Especially since Chenglong has just been born, it is a good time to lay the foundation for his body.

Moreover, after the elves eat the muzi fruit, they can keep the seeds and plant them in their own tree orchards, which can produce greater and longer-term benefits in the future.

The muzi fruits on the tree have matured a lot. Rock looked around and was surprised to find that there were no powerful wild elves waiting here.

No, if there were no guards, the area around here wouldn't be so peaceful.

Feeling something strange, Rock took out his short knife from his waist and vigilantly checked around the muzi fruit tree.

Normally speaking, tree fruits such as muzi fruit, which are good for the elves' health, will definitely be competed by various wild elves after they mature.

If the fruit happens to grow in the territory of some powerful elf, then this elf will guard the fruit before it matures.

Rock saw no other wild elves near this muzi fruit tree, which was an obvious sign that there were powerful elves guarding it.

But he had stood under the tree for so long without being attacked. This unusual situation made him feel a little uneasy.

If he didn't know clearly, he wouldn't be able to harvest these muzi fruits with confidence.
