Unfortunately, Woolblade sheep are even rarer than Milkcan sheep in the Carlos region, and they are not found in the wild at all in the Carlos region!
However, Wooloo is a common Pokémon in the Galar region.
Looking at the avatar of the muscular, youthful-looking man at [AAA Yalo Farm], Fang Gu pondered to himself that perhaps he could obtain a few woolly sheep from Yalo.
"Anyway, let's get our faces known first."
Fang Gu clicked on Ya Luo's profile picture to follow him back, and also replied to his comment below.
【Stardew Valley Ranch】: I am Fang Gu. I just inherited my grandfather's abandoned ranch. The location is Kalos. It's just the beginning. I need to start raising Pokémon. Please give me your guidance.
After replying, Fang Gu continued reading the comments. Countless normal comments flooded his field of vision, making him feel warm inside and as if his body had been revitalized.
"It was definitely the right decision to agree to make an account for Xiaolu, and of course, we also have to thank Xiaolu and Bulbasaur for it."
He attributed the success of this video to Fang Xiaolu's excellent editing and traffic generation, as well as the purest relationship between himself, Fang Xing, and Pokémon in the video.
Of course, there was also a tiny bit of luck.
After all, the elves of Stardew Valley are secretly watching it.
Just as Fang Gu was engrossed in reading the comments, Fang Xiaolu suddenly stood up from her sleep, startling him.
"Good morning, brother."
Fang Xiaolu, still half-asleep, continued, "Have you seen Xiaomi anywhere?"
Fang Gu handed the meow-cat hand puppet to Fang Xiaolu, who seemed to have found an anchor for her emotions. She immediately lay down and mumbled to Fang Gu in a drowsy voice, "Goodnight, brother~"
The next second, a soft snore could be heard.
"Seriously, I also wanted to tell you about how the video went viral."
Helpless, Fang Gu tucked the blanket that Fang Xiaolu had let loose back into place and turned off the computer next to him.
"It seems that Bulbasaur is the only one who can keep me company today."
"Perfect timing! There were some even more interesting comments earlier. I really want to see them with Bulbasaur."
A knowing smile appeared on Fang Gu's face. He then gently closed the door and softly said to the sleeping Fang Xiaolu, "Goodnight."
Just as Fang Gu closed the door, a gray figure appeared beside Fang Xiaolu's bed.
This gray Pokémon looks exactly like Fang Xiaolu's Meowth puppet.
It is a genuine Meow Meow.
"Meow~"
Miao Miao put her little white paw to her mouth and yawned softly.
Miao Miao is sleepy again, Miao Miao wants to go back to sleep!
Myocat's purple eyes were instantly enveloped in a blue superpower light.
It used a Psychic-type move! Switch sides!
The next moment, the meowing cat puppet that Fang Xiaolu had just held in her arms reappeared on the ground, and a lazy meow came from Fang Xiaolu's blanket.
"Meow~"
……
On the way to Guyue Bird Town, Fang Gu walked slowly, while Bulbasaur beside him held his phone, nodding in praise of the video edited by Fang Xiaolu.
Excellent, excellent! It perfectly embodies the spirit of Stardew Valley's leader and Fang Gu's good assistant.
This video is worth keeping.
"Da na da na!"
Bulbasaur shook its head and began to launch into a long speech, but unfortunately Fang Gu couldn't understand a word it said. However, at this moment, he couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.
He took the phone and showed Bulbasaur a comment he had saved.
Just as Fang Xiaolu had predicted, some netizens turned Bulbasaur's solemn expression when Fang Gu introduced it into a meme.
Because Bulbasaur was too serious, some netizens photoshopped a sentence onto it.
"I can't help but laugh at the thought of doing farm work later."
In response, there's also the smiling emoji of the croaking frog.
"I'm already chuckling at the thought of learning a new skill later."
Bulbasaur was instantly struck dumb, its image completely ruined!
It even benefited the Frog!
Chapter 16 The General Store and the Secret Garden
Inside a general store in Guyue Bird Town.
"Oh, you must be the new rancher the mayor was talking about. I'm the owner of this general store, just call me Peter."
"My little shop sells rice, flour, cooking oil, and seeds needed for farming. How about buying some?"
The man standing in front of the counter greeted Fang Gu with a smile.
He was Peter, the owner of the grocery store. He didn't look much older than Fang Gu, only about twenty years old. He had naturally curly hair, a high nose bridge, and a somewhat youthful face.
Fang Gu responded politely, "If no other ranchers have come to Guyue Bird Town recently, then I should be the one you're talking about."
"My name is Fang Gu, and I run a Stardew Valley ranch outside of town. This is my partner, Bulbasaur."
"Dana."
Bulbasaur reluctantly greeted Peter, still sulking with Fang Gu because of the meme incident earlier.
Fang Gu was helpless; Bulbasaur still couldn't resist being teased.
“I came yesterday to buy some seeds, but unfortunately you were closed,” Fang Gu continued.
"Hahaha." Peter laughed heartily and patted Fang Gu on the shoulder.
"It seems you've just joined the Ancient Moon Bird Town family and aren't very familiar with our town. My general store is closed every Wednesday."
"Because every Wednesday is my Pokémon adventure day!"
"Don't let my appearance fool you, before I returned to my hometown, I was an adventurer."
Peter chuckled, then his eyes flashed with seriousness, and a Poké Ball appeared in his hand without him even realizing it.
"Don't you think it's interesting? This world is so colorful, full of endless possibilities and countless unknowns waiting to be explored."
"I love watching the fish and Pokémon swim freely under the lotus leaves after the rain, and I love exploring the unique ecology in the mines and having exhilarating battles with the Pokémon there."
"Unfortunately, my trainer talent is not high. I can't last more than three moves against the Pokémon in the abandoned mine north of the town."
Peter looked somewhat disappointed. "I heard that the abandoned mine contains a lot of ore, and some of it hasn't even been discovered yet."
Fang Gu twitched his lips, realizing that he couldn't get a word in edgewise whenever Peter spoke.
Peter seemed to sense Fang Gu's helplessness and scratched his head sheepishly.
"Sorry, I'm a good person in every way, except for one thing—I'm a chatterbox. Sometimes when I talk, even my Pokémon find me annoying."
Peter moved closer to Fang Gu and said, "By the way, why does the aura between you and Bulbasaur seem a bit off? It's a little subdued."
"As someone who's been there, let me tell you, coaxing a Pokémon is like coaxing a girl, especially when the Pokémon is also a girl."
"Let me share my experience with you..."
Fang Gu's forehead was covered in a fine layer of cold sweat. Before he knew it, Peter's talkative nature had kicked in again.
"Little mouth."
Fang Gu spoke slowly, and Peter seemed to be frozen in place, clenching his teeth and not letting out a single word.
"Actually, I've already figured out how to coax Bulbasaur. You just need to tell me if you have any here..."
Fang Gu whispered in Peter's ear.
Meanwhile, Bulbasaur pricked up its ears, eager to stand up and listen to what Fang Gu was up to.
"Dah!"
Bulbasaur grunted and turned its head away. This matter couldn't be resolved without hundreds of little flowers!
After hearing Fang Gu's words, a look of surprise flashed in Peter's eyes, and he then gave Fang Gu a thumbs up.
"Of course, we have these things in our grocery store. They're on that shelf over there, next to the crop seeds you need."
"Hey, you know where I got those seeds from...?"
Seeing that Peter was about to launch into another long speech, Fang Gu had no choice but to quickly pull Bulbasaur away.
"Dana."
Bulbasaur is standing on tiptoe, tilting its head back, trying to see what's on the shelf.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard it tried, it couldn't reach half the height of the shelf.
At this very moment, Fang Gu had already begun selecting the seeds of the crops he wanted to plant.
“Peter is right, there are quite a few varieties of seeds here.”
Fang Gu looked at the seed bags, which were printed with various vegetables, including turnips, potatoes, garlic, white radishes, cabbage, cucumbers, radishes, tomatoes, and even pasture seeds for chickens, ducks, cattle, and sheep, as well as tree fruit seeds for Pokémon, such as the very common Blue Orange Berry, Peach Berry, and Cherry Berry.
After a night of thought, Fang Gu decided to plant potatoes as his main crop for the first time, and then buy some other vegetable seeds.
The vegetables grown from other vegetable seeds would most likely only be enough for Fang Gu's family to eat.
As for why potatoes were chosen as the main crop, the first reason is that potatoes have a shorter growth cycle. In the Carlos region, a land blessed by Xerneas, the god of life, potatoes can mature in just six days, allowing for a quick return of some funds.
Furthermore, Fang Gu learned through his connections at the Westfur Company that the demand for potatoes in the Carlos region had recently increased and would soon reach a point where supply could not meet demand.
In addition, potato seeds have a magical characteristic: the number of fruits they produce is uncertain. As long as there are enough nutrients, they are very likely to produce more fruits, which means that the possibility of harvesting high-quality potatoes will be higher. At that time, the cultivation level of Fanggu will also rise accordingly.
Of course, and most importantly, Fang Gu wanted some fries as a snack. Besides, there are many dishes that can be made with potatoes, such as braised beef with potatoes, curry rice, hash browns, and so on...
In the end, Fang Gu spent nearly two thousand dollars on all the seeds he bought at Peter's Grocery Store, and with the addition of rice, flour, and cooking oil, he spent nearly four thousand dollars.
However, Peter was kind enough to give Fang Gu a 10% discount since it was Fang Gu's first time there.
But Fang Gu felt that the 10% discount was like compensation for the mental anguish of listening to Peter talk incessantly.
