Chapter 35 Breeders are multi-tracked

Chenglong, who was moving at full speed, quickly caught up with Joey, after all, no matter how strong humans are, they can't compare to Chenglong, who is also the fastest swimmer in water-based Pokémon. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 Info follows Joey, and the group quickly arrives at their destination.

"Miss Joy, you're so fast!" said Multitrack to Joey, who had stopped the boat.

"There's no way, I have to be in charge of such a large area of sea, and I often have to go out for emergencies, and I can practice it after coming and going. Joey replied with a smile, and that gentle look made it impossible to imagine that the speed that was almost comparable to that of a water spirit just now was drawn by her.

"Is that starfish here?" asked Genma curiously, he just felt the water temperature, which was about 4-5 degrees Celsius lower than the rest of the Orange Islands.

"I don't know where it's hiding, but it's certain that it's in this area. Because the scallops here are the most delicious. ”

Genma nodded and asked another question: "Miss Joy, I just felt that the sea temperature here is 4-5 °C lower than that of other regions, why is that?"

Instead of getting angry at Genma's other questions, Joey patiently replied, "Because there is an undercurrent here, it comes through an underground cave from the Icelandic side of the north, where it is said to inhabit frozen birds, so the water here is much cooler." This undercurrent makes the water better than elsewhere and dilutes the salt, so the scallops grown here are even more delicious. ”

"So there are underground currents, so would the starfish hide there?"

"Impossible," Dorrail said in his place Joey, "Although it is said that water-based Pokémon can survive as long as they have water, they actually have different requirements for water. Pokémon with ice attributes like starfish live in warmer tropical waters, while Pokémon with ice attributes like white sea lions like to live in colder cold waters, and it's okay to live in unsuitable waters for a short time, but they will feel uncomfortable, but they will get sick for a long time. Of course, some Pokémon are more adaptable, no problem with any water, and can survive even in industrial sewage, such as King Carp. ”

Genma nodded, "That's right, if you can drop the water temperature in such a sea area by 4-5 °C, then the water temperature in the undercurrent will be lower, and the starfish will not be able to adapt to it." So what do we do?"

"I can only wait for it to come out. Joey helplessly spread his hands.

"It's so time-consuming, and is it going to show up today?" complained Multitrack, which was already a day's delay, and now it was likely to be delayed again, which was not a good sign, "can't it be drawn?"

"No," Joey said helplessly, "we've tried it with bait before, but it doesn't take the bait at all." ”

"Bait? Is it because the bait is too ordinary to be attractive?"

"Wouldn't we? We're the most expensive bait we use. ”

"Do you have any bait? ”

"Also, I have some with me, a friend of mine likes to eat them. ”

"Friends who like to eat bait, are they water spirits?" Genma said curiously. There are many people in this world who don't like to take in elves, but rather treat them as friends.

"Yes, it's a king carp. Joey answered Genma's question as he took out the bait and handed it to Multitrack.

Duo Rail took the bait, sniffed it first, and then actually picked up a small piece and put it in his mouth.

"Uh・・・・・・" Genma looked at the multi-track movements and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything. In this world, if you want to be successful, it is not enough to have talent, you also need to endure a lot of hardships. In his previous life, Genma had heard a doctor sing about the urine of a patient in order to judge the disease, but he didn't expect to see a noble girl taste elf food in this life. You must know that many of the ingredients in elf food are not in human recipes, and there are even some things that humans find disgusting. Genma also knows a little about the ingredients of high-level elf fishing bait, and many of the main ingredients are some protein-rich bugs. As a breeder and a descendant of a water family, there is no reason why Duo Rail should not know this, but she actually tasted those things that ordinary girls find disgusting when they see it, which really makes Genma admire.

During the small talk, Duo Track said that she wanted to become a master breeder, no matter how hard she suffered, she was not afraid. Genma didn't care at the time, he just thought it was the kind of fighting spirit that a child ignited on a whim, and he would soon forget, and even if he didn't forget, he would eventually give up because of the hardships and dangers along the way, and only remembered it in occasional memories. But seeing this scene today, Genma felt that it might not be a distant dream.

"Phew," said Multitrack after chewing a little, spitting out the residue of the bait, wiping the corners of his mouth, and then saying, "This kind of bait is indeed very good for the average elf, but for this starfish, there are two problems. ”

"What's the problem?"

"First, this kind of bait should be made of the skin of the Worm-type Pokémon as the main ingredient, which will make the bait more energy-rich, which will attract and strengthen the water-type Pokémon, but the hardness of this bait will be strengthened as a result, and it may be better for some Pokémon because they have a good set of teeth, and this bait that increases the hardness will make them feel chewy. But for elves in the form of mollusks, starfish, they prefer soft bait. Second, because the skin is peeled off, the bait is not fresh enough and does not produce a delicious juice when placed in water. For fishing, this will effectively prevent the bait from being damaged by water blisters, and ordinary water spirits may not be able to feel the difference, but for starfish who have tasted delicious scallops, how can they look at such inferior products. ”

"Ah, I see, no wonder we can't attract starfish!" Joey suddenly realized, "So what to do." ”

"Leave it to me! I'll use scallops as the main ingredient to make a dish that definitely matches the taste of the starfish. Multitrack said energetically.

"I'm sorry for you," Joey said, gesturing to a small island not far away, "let's go there, there's the camp where the fishermen take care of their fishing grounds." I guess Miss Multitrack needs some tools too!"

"Okay, let's go・・・・・・"

After landing on the island, Duo Rail began to prepare the bait, and in order to ensure that the bait was fresh enough, Genma and Joey gave up the scallops that the fishermen had already caught to catch the freshest scallops.

"Come out, King Carp. "Genma summoned the Carp King as an assistant, and growing up in the forest, he was already very good at swimming, but he was really not as good as Joey's unassisted freehand diving.

"Let's go down and help Joey. Genma said to the Carp King.

The Carp King nodded and dived into the water with Genma, while Joey had already started catching scallops.

According to Joey, these scallops taste different depending on their age. The younger ones have softer flesh but less umami, while the older ones have enough umami but not enough delicate flesh, so catching the most delicious scallops is carefully selected.

Genma didn't understand any of this, all he needed to do was help Joey with the scallops she had chosen.

After picking for a while, it was estimated that it was almost enough, and Joey motioned for Genma to prepare to float. Suddenly, an undercurrent emerged out of nowhere, rushing the two of them to the ground, fortunately, the carp king reacted in time and helped Genma stabilize his body, but Joey was unfortunately swept into the seaweed by the undercurrent and was entangled in the seaweed.

"Oh no, Joey has been around for a long time, and I'll have to find a way to help her float. ”

Thinking of this, Genma immediately patted the carp king, and then pointed at Joey, motioning for him to take him over.

The carp king understood what Genma meant, and was about to swim over with him. At this moment, a large red figure swam quickly, broke the seaweed, and brought Joey out to the surface.
