Located in the northwest of the Padia region, the town of Ranqin is a lively seaside town.

According to the memories of the original owner, the town is home to a variety of local festivals.

For example, spring festivals, water Pokémon rally, summer-limited fireworks displays, and more.

These festivals attracted many people from other places to travel, and the animal husbandry near the town developed, and over time, the town of Yanqin developed.

The place in the town called "Ranqin Market" is even more famous.

Naoki walked down the street with a motorcycle lizard, and the pedestrians on the road were surrounded by various Pokémon, taking a leisurely walk in the sea breeze, and the air was filled with a pleasant and comfortable atmosphere.

In addition to buying food, Naoki has a very important thing to do on this trip.

Visit the town's woodworking shops, grocery stores, seed stores, and shops selling ranch Pokémon and common animals.

"It's almost six o'clock." Naoki was a little worried that those shops would close in a while, so he thought for a moment and said to the motorcycle lizard next to him, "Are you hungry?" ”

"Quack!"

The motorcycle lizard nodded, shook its head again, and the clever one saw that Naoki had something to do, so he said that he could bear with it a little longer.

Seeing its appearance, Naoki smiled with relief, touched its head, and said, "Good boy, then accompany me to the grocery store first." ”

"Quack~"

The town is not very large, perhaps so that tourists from outside the city do not get lost, whether it is on the street or on the billboards on the side of the road, the location of all kinds of shops is clearly marked on the map.

Finding the grocery store from above, Naoki went straight there.

After crossing an intersection, a red-brick building appears in front of Naoki.

It was late in the evening, and there was no one in the store, except for a balding uncle with glasses sitting behind the counter teasing a paparazzi bag.

Hearing the wind chimes coming from outside the door, the uncle raised his head: "Huh? There's a guest coming! Welcome! ”

Naoki politely said hello, and then asked, "Is there any seasoning here?" ”

Uncle: "Yes! On the innermost shelves! ”

Naoki went there, and sure enough, he saw all kinds of seasonings on the shelves.

Oil, salt, vinegar, soy sauce, flour, spices, red bean paste, butter, sugar, pepper......

Their prices are clearly marked below the shelves.

For example, a bag of flour costs 200 alliance coins, a bottle of oil costs 100 alliance coins, red bean paste costs 150 alliance coins, and so on.

Looking at these, Naoki was a little confused about the prices in the Pokémon world.

A small bag of flour costs the same price as a Poké Ball, so if you look at it, the price of Poké Balls doesn't seem to be expensive.

After a moment's thought, Naoki bought a copy of each seasoning.

When he brought the things to the counter, the boss had a surprised expression on his face, and while taking out the bag, he asked, "Just moved to Yanqin Town?" ”

"Yes." Naoki nodded.

The boss smiled and said, "Then enjoy the life in Yanqin Town!" Well, that's two thousand eight hundred and twenty alliance coins in total. ”

Instead of paying in a hurry, Naoki asked, "Is there a fishing rod here?" ”

"Fishing rods? Some! ”

As he spoke, the boss turned around, took out a few fishing rods from the back shelf and put them on the counter, and introduced them one by one:

"The price of each rod is different, this is the 2000 Alliance, and with bait, you can catch Pokémon and fish in a place where there is water."

"The price of this fishing rod is 5,000 alliance coins, well, the materials it uses are more advanced, so the performance is better than this 2,000 one, and it is not easy to damage."

"As for this one here, the price is 15,000 alliance coins, this is the latest powerful fishing rod, both in terms of material and performance, the top materials are used."

Naoki: "......"

His gaze wandered over the three fishing rods, and finally he chose the 2000 ordinary fishing rod, ready to use it excessively.

"It's a total of 4,820 alliance coins, and since you are a first-time customer to our store, I will give you a box of bait for free, and please visit us more in the future!" The boss smiled and handed over a tin can.

"Thank you, boss."

Naoki took the things, turned and left the shop.

His second stop was the carpentry shop, which was located on the edge of the town, with a forest at the back.

There is a wooden stake in front of the store, and a saw is stuck in the stake.

As soon as Naoki tried to knock on the door, the door opened automatically.

A muscular woman with a pink ponytail and a headband walked out of the room.

After revealing her intentions to the other party, the woman led him to the back of the studio.

"You're the rancher who just moved in?" The woman asked, slightly curious.

Naoki was slightly stunned, and then realized that it was probably Mayor Thomas who had greeted the other party again.

He nodded and said, "My name is Naoki." ”

Woman: "Just call me Kerry." ”

"Yes, Miss Kerry."

As she walked, Kerry explained the process of expanding the ranch house: "You haven't named the ranch yet, have you?" ”

Naoki shook his head: "Not yet, I just came here yesterday." ”

"Don't worry, I just asked casually, well, Mayor Thomas told me about the situation, you came here this time to learn about the restoration of the Pokémon hut and the expansion of the house, right?"

"That's right."

"Then I'll tell you one by one, it takes 50,000 alliance coins and 300 pieces of wood to repair the Pokémon hut, and after the restoration is completed, you can raise big milk tanks and pigtailed sheep there, of course, this price is a bit expensive for you now."

"So I recommend that you start by building a chicken hut, where you can raise ordinary chickens, and the eggs they lay can also be sold for money, and the chicken hut only needs 20,000 alliance coins and 150 logs."

"On top of that, you also need to build a silo on the farm specifically for storing fodder, and we'll give you a silo for free when you build it for free."

Hearing this, Naoki nodded thoughtfully, while keeping these prices in mind.

"What about the expansion of the dwelling?"

"It's a lot easier." "There are three expansions, the first one will make your house bigger and add a separate kitchen and bathroom, the second will help you expand the second floor, and the third time will expand the basement, which is normally used by the rancher to make wine," says Clerie. ”

Knowing that novice ranchers don't have that much money on their hands and that it will take too much money to complete all at once, Naoki will most likely not be able to afford it, so she splits the expansion of the home into three parts.

After a pause, Kerry said, "Of course, if you have enough funds, you can also choose to do it at the same time, and we will help you complete the expansion in one go." ”

"In addition to these, we also offer a custom furniture service, in addition to basic tables, chairs and benches, you can also buy wallpaper, carpets, refrigerators, lockers, various lighting and so on."

Five minutes later, Naoki walked out of the carpentry shop.

He mentally calculated the amount of money he had left, and suddenly felt that he had a lot of things to do.

"How do you feel busier than 996......"

Naoki sighed, imagining the day when the ranch would return to its former prosperity, and a look of anticipation appeared on his face - at that time, he would be able to relax and enjoy the leisurely life of a rancher.

Since the Pokémon Cottage can't be built now, there is no need for him to go to the shop that sells ranch animals for the time being.

Riding on the motorcycle lizard, Naoki heads to his final destination, the seed shop.

The owner of the seed shop is a middle-aged man in a brown coat, brown hair, and a slightly bloated body.

When Naoki arrived, he was having dinner with his wife and daughter.

Seeing a guest coming, the boss immediately got up: "Welcome!" Let's see what seeds you want to buy? ”

Naoki didn't know that he only had a packet of turnip seeds from the mayor at home.

Under the leadership of the boss, he saw a large pile of various seeds on the container.

Potatoes, turnips, garlic, strawberries, cabbage, cucumbers, turnips, tomatoes, pastures, and even seeds of some tree fruits, like peach fruit, orange orange fruit, etc.

Naoki was dazzled, and the owner of the seed shop said: "These are all crops and fruit trees suitable for spring planting, they are easy to grow after artificial cultivation, as long as they are watered and fertilized on time, they can grow big and good." ”

Naoki nodded silently.

The seeds of this world are different from the Ranch Story and Stardew Valley that he has played.

There are many seeds in a packet, which can be planted on a large piece of land, unlike in the game, where a pack of seeds can only be planted on a single block.

After thinking about it for a moment, Naoki decided to buy a pack of each seed, including the seeds of the fruit trees.

The price of these seeds also varies, the most basic turnips only cost 60 Union Coins a pack, and strawberries and cucumbers cost 120 or 150 packs.

All the seeds plus one piece cost a total of 1,370 Alliance Coins.

As a result, there are only 27,000 dollars left from the sale of black truffles.

Packing the seeds, Naoki walked out of the store with the motorcycle lizard.

It was already dark outside.

Naoki looked at the stars in the sky, took a deep breath, and said, "Okay, it's time to go to dinner!" ”

"Quack......" The motorcycle lizard looked a little pitiful.

Naoki smiled and touched its head, then walked into a restaurant with it.

After a tiring day, he planned to eat out tonight.

The waiter handed over the menu, and in addition to human food, there was also food specially prepared for Pokémon in the restaurant.

Moto lizards such Pokémon...... You probably like meat, right?

Thinking about it, Naoki ordered a meat dish for the motorcycle lizard and a tree fruit set for it, as a reward for today's great hero.

Soon, the meal was served.

Seeing the motorcycle lizard feasting, Naoki felt happy from the bottom of his heart.

Pokémon are really simple and cute~

Lowering his head, he looked at the fragrant vegetable stew and corn soup in front of him, and their information also emerged.

As expected, these dishes don't have the special ability to buff Pokémon.

Naoki was sure of this in his heart: "It seems that only dishes made by my hands have that kind of power. ”

After dinner, Naoki went to the food store to buy ingredients for the next few days.

Because there was no refrigerator at home, he only bought a three-day supply.

The temperature is not very hot during this season, and the food does not spoil easily when left in the house.

Naoki carried a large bag and a small bag, riding a motorcycle lizard, and in the night, one person and one Pokémon began to rush in the direction of home.

At night, the temperature in the air is a little low, and the wind blows a little cold on people's bodies.

The motorcycle lizard is afraid of the cold, but the straight tree on its back is warm, helping it to dispel the cold.

At this moment, the motorcycle lizard suddenly wanted to drink another bowl of hot noodle soup made by Naoki.

The moto lizard was very fast, and it took less than thirty minutes to return to the pasture.

The ranch at night was dark, and because this situation was expected in advance, Naoki brought a flashlight before going out.

He fumbled for a flashlight in the dark, but before he could touch it, he suddenly heard a "bang".

It was loud, accompanied by the sound of trees breaking.

It was as if something had fallen from the sky and plunged headlong into the pasture, knocking down a tree.

Naoki was shocked, and finally touched the flashlight, quickly took it out, and looked at the pasture in front of him with the light on.

Soon, he saw a strange black shadow in his farmland.

Naoki was startled, and the motorcycle lizard next to him also stood up from riding mode and looked over there vigilantly.

It felt an extraordinary aura.

The beam of the flashlight hit the black shadow, and the black shadow lay motionless on the ground, as if unconscious.

With the help of the light, Naoki finally saw the true face of the black shadow.

A scarlet body, a thick tail, a flamboyant dragon whisker, and an airbag on the chest that resembles a motorcycle tire.

Is that......

Naoki was stunned for a moment.
