Towards noon, Naoki and the motorcycle lizard cleared a small plot of land that could be planted, and moved the cut wood and stone into the utility room for storage.

"Goo~"

After a busy morning, a gurgling sound came from the motorcycle lizard's belly.

It looked down and said, "Quack......"

"Hungry?" When Naoki heard this, he smiled and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go and make lunch." ”

The motorcycle lizard immediately became happy: "Quack~"

They washed their hands in the sink outside and went back to the cabin.

The motorcycle lizard sat under the eaves to cool off, while Naoki took out the ingredients and began to get busy.

Today's lunch was still hot noodle soup, but the difference was that Naoki added a little bit of wild leeks found in the ranch to make it even more flavorful.

Once raw and twice cooked, this time it was successfully completed in only a few minutes.

Putting the noodles in a bowl, Naoki looked down and noticed that the grade of the hot noodle soup had changed from C- to C, and the time for cold protection had also increased by five minutes.

"Sure enough, the ingredients can also affect the evaluation of the food."

Naoki picked up the bowl and put it in front of the motorcycle lizard that had been waiting at the table early.

The motorcycle lizard looked down and saw that the bowl was still full of the strange noodles, and a pitiful expression suddenly appeared on his face.

"Quack......

The destitute Naoki: "......"

He sighed, thought of the little money left by the original owner, and comforted: "Bear with me, I'll take you to the town to buy delicious food in the afternoon." ”

"Quack~"

Fortunately, the motorcycle lizard did not dislike Naoki's poverty, it was a simple optimist, and after hearing Naoki's words, he immediately became happy and began to look forward to what would be delicious in the evening.

Looking at the motorcycle lizard who was holding the bowl and raising his head to drink noodles, Naoki ate the noodles in the bowl with a sad face.

"The rest of the money will be spent very quickly after buying food, and the land has just been turned over, and the seeds will be planted tomorrow, and it will take a month before they will ripen......

The farmland occupied by weeds is a bit hard and unsuitable for crops, and this morning Naoki turned them over and watered them again to make the soil soft.

Although there is no fertilizer, the good thing is that turnips are not very demanding on soil quality.

"On top of that, I had to find other ways to make money until the turnips were harvested."

Thinking of this, Naoki couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Ways to make money......

He thought of what he used to do when he played on the wasteland pasture.

One is through fishing, and the other is to go to the back mountain, where you can collect mushrooms and fruits to spend the early part of the game.

But now, he doesn't have a fishing rod yet, and the only way is to try his luck in the back mountain and see if he can find any mountain goods.

After lunch, Naoki prepared to head to the back mountain.

Knowing his intentions, the motorcycle lizard, which had been walking upright, suddenly leaned down, fell to the ground on all fours, and turned back to him and shouted, "Quack! ”

Naoki was slightly stunned, saw the motorcycle lizard that had changed into riding mode, and asked, "Are you letting me ride it?" ”

The motorcycle lizard nodded: "Quack! ”

Out of curiosity, Naoki rode up.

Once he was seated, the lizard began to run.

Its speed was neither fast nor slow, it was very steady, and it was carrying Naoki in the direction of the back mountain.

Feeling the air currents blowing through his hair, Naoki thought to himself, "No wonder the motorcycle lizard has become a means of transportation in the Padian region, and this feeling seems to be no different from a normal motorcycle." ”

After crossing a country road, a lush mountain forest emerges in front of you.

Vast exponents of sunlight poured overhead, dappling the ground through the gaps in the leaves.

The green caterpillars lying in the bushes, the little arrowfinches standing on the branches, the rustling sound of the dense bushes, or the juicy and heavy hanging of strange fruits on the branches.

Everywhere there is a scene of life.

Naoki got off the motorcycle lizard and raised an eyebrow at the petite Pokémon.

Those Pokémon also hung their heads curiously at the strange human who broke into the forest.

"Green Caterpillar...... The seventh level evolved into an iron armor chrysalis, and the tenth level evolved into a big butterfly, and this Pokémon is a good choice for novice trainers. ”

"Little arrows? If I'm not mistaken, it seems to be the home bird of the Carlos region, and the final evolved Arrow Eagle is a Pokémon with fire and flight attributes, and it feels like a cool Pokémon! ”

"Huh? Could it be that the little white mouse is a rat in the Padian region? ”

Naoki's gaze suddenly saw three small figures in a patch of grass.

Two slightly larger rats cautiously poked their heads out, and behind them, a petite mouse.

"Three families...... Naoki looked around, but didn't find the fourth guinea pig.

Seeing his gaze looking this way, the three rats struck a spirit, and then turned around and burrowed into the grass, disappearing without a trace.

Naoki: "......"

But I have to say that this kind of Pokémon is quite cute.

Before that, Naoki didn't think of himself as a plush controller, but seeing the cute appearance of a rat and the fine white fur on their bodies still made her heart a little moved.

"I don't know what it's like to touch."

There are a lot of Pokémon in the forest, and when I took the motorcycle lizard around, Naoki couldn't help but feel excited.

- If he's a trainer, he'll definitely take out his Poké Balls and fight them, and if he's approved, he'll take them in.

Whether it's a fast-growing green caterpillar or a little arrow finch with a promising future, it's perfect!

However, it is a pity that from the memory of the original owner, he learned that an ordinary red and white ball costs two hundred alliance coins, and he can't afford it now.

Naoki sighed, then turned his attention away from those Pokémon and turned his attention to the mountain goods that grew in this mountain forest.

He walked over to a lush fruit tree and reached out to pluck a fruit from the tree.

Looking down, the information of the fruit appeared in his mind.

[Peach Fruit: A magical fruit that can cure poisoning, the taste is sweet, it can be used to make jam, Bao Fen, fruit cake, and can also be put into yogurt to become fruit yogurt, and its unique flavor is loved by many Pokémon. ]

Tree fruits?

Naoki picked up the peach fruit in front of him and sniffed it gently, smelling a faint peach fragrance.

He held the fruit to the lizard and asked, "Do you want to eat it?" ”

The motorcycle lizard glanced at it, then opened its mouth wide and ate the peach fruit into its stomach in one gulp.

"Quack~"

Looking at the way it looks, it seems to taste pretty good.

"It seems that just like in the anime, tree fruits are also the main food source for Pokémon."

Naoki had a rough idea in his heart, nodded silently, and picked a few more peaches and peach fruits on the tree, ready to take them back to the pasture.

However, he only took a small part.

Because if the tree fruits are Pokémon's food, then the other Pokémon in this forest will also need them.

If he picks all these peach fruits, many Pokémon will go hungry.

After packing the peach fruit, Naoki rushed deeper with the motorcycle lizard.

The mountain forest is very large, maybe it is in the wrong direction, and along the way, except for the peach fruit that he first encountered, Naoki never encountered any other fruit trees.

Before he knew it, he was tired of walking, so he sat down under a big tree to rest, and he glanced at the sky and felt that it was time to return.

And at this moment, the nose of the motorcycle lizard on the side moved.

"What's wrong?" Naoki turned his head to look.

"Quack......

The motorcycle lizard turned its head to look around, as if discerning direction.

It didn't take long for it to settle on its position and get up and look in one direction.

Naoki followed its gaze at the land where there was nothing, and at first he was a little puzzled, but soon he noticed something strange.

With the roots of the big tree as the center, all the grass in a circular area around it withered.

"Quack!"

The motorcycle lizard barked in that direction.

Naoki got up, and with doubts in his heart, he stepped forward with the motorcycle lizard, observing the strange area.

Then he used his hand to remove the decaying leaves and yellowing grass above, and found a dark unknown thing underneath.

At this moment, Naoki also smelled that smell.

It was a very special smell that cannot be described in words.

He was still wondering what it was, but in the next second, its information automatically appeared in his mind.

[Black truffle: A top-quality high-quality ingredient, it is a rare delicacy, which can be made with eggs to make steamed eggs with black truffles, or made into a creamy soup with butter, although it does not have a buff in itself, but it can greatly enhance the effect of the dish.] ]
