Chapter Twenty-Eight: Something Isn't Right with You Green Caterpillar (Ask for Follow-up)
"Orange orange fruit? This is what you picked from Cheonggye Forest? ”
"Well, you gave me two bottles of wound medicine a few days ago, and I happened to find this tree fruit, so I brought it back to you for some, and I also plan to sell some of this orange orange fruit, and you know, my green caterpillar has always wanted a Poké Ball."
As Mark spoke, the green caterpillar's eyes widened suddenly.
The surprise came unexpectedly, is it about to have its own Poké Ball?
Old man Qian touched the head of the green caterpillar with his hand and said, "Little guy, it may be in vain for you to look forward to it, just with these orange fruits picked by you and your master, even if you buy a second-hand Poke Ball, it is not enough for its fraction." ”
Mark frowned slightly and said, "Is the price of orange fruit so low?" ”
Although the village elder casually gave him two bottles of wound medicine, let him know that the value of the orange orange fruit as the raw material of the wound medicine may not be too high, but Mark didn't expect it to be so low.
You know, the orange fruit he brought back is almost two catties.
Old man Qian said: "If you want to buy a new Poke Ball, you need about 50 catties, that is, two orange fruit trees full of fruits."
Alternatively, you can also go to Sanshan Town to set up your own stall to sell, and you can sell it for an extra 20 to 30 yuan per catty, and if you are lucky, it is possible to sell it for 150 yuan per catty.
But I don't recommend you to do this, not only to set up a stall, but also to sell to the merchants in Sanshan Town, I don't recommend it, these tree fruit can be left for your green caterpillars and the cowards that will hatch next.
In addition to being the main ingredient for making wound medicine, orange fruit also has the effect of promoting physical fitness when taken by elves, and taking it for a long time can make elves stronger. ”
Mark was thoughtful.
In fact, with more than a dozen orange fruit trees in the green caterpillar's territory, it is still possible to make a few hundred catties of orange orange fruit in exchange for money to buy Poke Balls, but this is really not cost-effective.
Even if you pluck all the orange fruit trees, you can only exchange them for seven to eight Poké Balls.
Moreover, doing so will also destroy the ecological balance of the green caterpillar swarm, making the recovery speed of the green caterpillars' injuries slower, and indirectly slowing down the progress of the green caterpillars through the battle.
In contrast, it is better to pick out hundreds of old, weak, sick and disabled people from the green caterpillar community and sell them to the green caterpillar breeding base in Qingxi Village.
On the one hand, these old, weak, sick and disabled people can come to the breeding base to live their lives, and on the other hand, they can also earn some start-up capital, after all, no matter which world they are, they need money.
"No, there's something wrong with the taste of your orange fruit, is it spoiled?"
Mark, who was thinking, was interrupted by a word, and when he saw Old Man Qian sniffing the orange fruit with his nose, he immediately explained: "It's not spoiled, these orange orange fruits are sprayed with some stinky liquid by the antennae of green caterpillars, so they have some stinky smell, just clean them." ”
Old man Qian was surprised at first, then showed a praising expression, patted Mark's shoulder and said: "Amazing, I can't imagine that you and the green caterpillar can think of this way, so that you don't have to worry about the orange and orange fruits on the tree being picked by those wild elves, you kid, you have the style of ...... back then."
Listening to the compliment of the village elder, Mark had the heart to explain, after all, the stinky liquid of these tree fruits was made by the leader of the green caterpillars, but he quickly thought of something.
Qingxi Village still does not know that there is a wild green caterpillar colony in Qingxi Forest.
If exposed, his next plan to exercise with the green caterpillar swarm will also be aborted.
Mark finally silently endured the praise of the old man Qian.
And on the other side of Mark, Old Man Qian's thoughts had drifted back to the past.
When he was young, he also found a fruit-bearing orange fruit tree in the Qingxi Forest.
Unlike now, the artificial cultivation technology of orange orange fruit in that era was not very mature, and the price was more than ten times that of now.
He immediately ran back to the village with his strength to prepare the tools and bags for picking, and when he saw that it was getting late, he decided to set out the next day.
As a result, when he returned the next day, the ripe fruit of the entire fruit tree had been basically eaten by the elves of the forest, and only some half-ripe crooked melons and cracked dates remained......
Life is full of all kinds of regrets, and every time the old man thinks about it, he will unconsciously feel depressed.
If he could set out at night and pick those oranges and oranges overnight, like Mark, then he would ...... The grass on his grave is estimated to have grown to more than three meters tall.
The night in the Qingxi Forest was still very dangerous, after all, he was not a ruthless man like Mark who could survive in the wilderness at the age of two or three.
Without continuing to think about it, Old Man Qian said: "Okay, when I am old, my body can't bear it, so I won't stay up late with you, in addition, Teacher Sun of the school has come back today, and the school will open normally tomorrow."
Now that you've regained your intelligence, don't run around the forest like you used to, stay here today, and I'll take you to school tomorrow morning to report. ”
As he spoke, Old Man Qian went back to the bedroom to rest, and Mark went back to his room.
As far as the eye can see, there is an extra card on the table that looks like an identity card.
His name, age, and address were printed on it, as well as a black-and-white portrait that looked a little silly, which seemed to be a photo taken of him by the village elder before.
In addition to this, there are two sets of clothes on the bed.
As before, it is a bug catcher boy style suit, next to the clothes, there is also a set of toiletries, toothbrush, toothpaste, towels, soap......
Mark glanced at his somewhat tattered clothes and sighed.
He didn't want to owe favors to others in his bones, so every time he came back from Qingxi Forest, he would bring something to the village elder, and the same was true for the orange fruit he brought back this time.
As a result, instead of decreasing, he owes the village elders more and more......
……
Early the next morning.
When Old Man Qian woke up, he saw Mark and the green caterpillar writing and drawing on the ground of the yard with branches, and it seemed that Mark was teaching the green caterpillar to count.
He glanced at the black heavy stone in the center of the courtyard and shook his head slightly.
There are no traces of the fine sand near the black heavy stone.
Young people are always enthusiastic for three minutes, and it seems that Mark and the green caterpillar have been practicing [collision] tirelessly a few days ago, and it seems that they will never stop, but they stopped today.
Old man Qian coughed lightly twice and said: "At your current age, although you may not like to listen to some didactic words, there is one sentence I still have to say, perseverance, you have to always." ”
Mark was stunned for a moment, realized something, and said, "Are you saying that I didn't let the green caterpillar practice [impact] with that black heavy stone today?" ”
Old man Qian glanced at Mark, didn't say anything, rubbed the stubble on his chin and said, "This depends on your own understanding." ”
Feeling the care of Old Man Qian, Mark explained with a smile: "Thank you for your concern, in fact, the green caterpillar and I are not as slack as you think, but I think that compared to using stakes or stones as target exercises, it is more efficient in actual combat." ”
"Actual combat?" Old man Qian said thoughtfully: "You and the green caterpillar were injured a few days ago, is it because of actual combat?" You've been in the forest with the green caterpillar for the past few days and haven't come back, also because of actual combat? ”
"Hmm."
Mark bowed slightly.
"Hiss!"
The green caterpillar also echoed, it and Mark have been exercising with the green caterpillar swarm these days, and they have lived a very fulfilling life!
"This ......"
Old man Qian asked himself, he had seen some hard-working trainers, but there were almost no who could do it to the point of Mark.
Mark thought of something and said, "By the way, village chief, I'm now using my free time to teach green caterpillar math.
As you know, Ba Da Butterfly has the [Mental Power] skill in his bloodline genes, so I plan to use mathematics as a starting point to exercise the brain power of the green caterpillar in advance, so that after the green caterpillar evolves into the Ba Da Butterfly in the future, the [Mental Power] it can master will also be stronger.
I just taught the green caterpillar for a while, and it has learned the skill of counting within 100, that is, it can be checked upside down, and it has never found any tricks, do you have any methods? ”
In the face of Mark's words, Old Man Qian's eyes gradually widened, revealing a surprised expression.
By teaching the green caterpillar mathematics, and then improving the brain power of the green caterpillar, so that when the green caterpillar evolves into a Ba Da butterfly, the [telekinesis] that can be mastered will be more powerful.
This technique of training green caterpillars was the first time he had heard of it, and it sounded very reliable.
If he also had a green caterpillar, he would even like to try it the Mark's way.
At this moment, he sincerely felt that a new generation of people replaced the old, and he felt that he was old.
Suddenly, Old Man Qian realized something and came back to his senses.
Old man Qian looked at the green caterpillar who was writing and drawing on the ground with a branch with a puzzled face, and said: "You just said that your green caterpillar has learned to count within 100, and with the intelligence of the green caterpillar, can you learn to count?" ”
