Pokémon Farm

Chapter 126 Tree Fruit Question Ring Chapter

The adorable adult reluctantly forgave him for offering a lifetime meal ticket.

"Brother Tian, ​​in my hometown, it is said that only when the three legendary pillars are together can the Regigigas be summoned. So you will most likely need to go to Hoenn to find the location of the three legendary pillars."

Yang Bin told Xuan Mingtian everything he knew. After all, the Hoenn region was his hometown, and he certainly knew more about these legends than they did.

Xuan Mingtian agreed with Yang Bin's assessment. After all, the anime and comics of his previous life were quite different from the real world.

“No need, Xiao Bin. Deep inside the Snow Peak Temple, there are three spirits guarding Regigigas. I heard from my parents that the guardian spirits are all created by Regigigas itself. So, we can just go directly to the Snow Peak Temple when the time comes.”

"Moreover, Regigigas only began to sleep after being beaten up by his elder brother, Arceus."

After the little cutie revealed the secret, everyone present was stunned and stared wide-eyed.

However, Xuan Mingtian had already noticed this news in his previous life. He never expected that such a thing would happen in the real Pokémon world. It seems that Regigigas's slow-start ability is most likely Arceus's punishment for it.

“Alright, then we’ll go there ourselves, but we need to plan the time carefully. Uncle Xiao, I’ll leave this task to you. I need you to prepare the supplies for the trip to the Snow Peak Temple as soon as possible.”

After some discussion, Xuan Mingtian decided to subdue them.

"Okay, Xiao Tian."

After receiving the reply, the four children quickened their pace of eating breakfast, as there were less than 8 minutes left before class started.

……

A moment later, the four finally arrived at the teaching area. However, each of them was carrying a box of dark gray rice cakes, making them once again a unique sight in the teaching area.

"Ring~ Ring~ Ring"

As the school bell rang, the students waited quietly for the teacher to arrive. This lesson was taught by Ms. Wang, and it was the same lesson they had previously taught about identifying tree fruits.

"Classmates, have you reviewed the varieties of fruit trees we learned about last time?"

"Have"

Standing on the podium, Teacher Wang first inquired about the students' review progress. Fortunately, he received positive responses from everyone, which made him even happier.

"Alright, I'll test you guys first to see how well you've prepared."

The teacher skillfully turned on the projection screen, which displayed three pictures of tree fruit shapes, but it was impossible to tell which variety they were.

The first picture looks like a banana, which is very easy to guess.

The second picture shows a tree fruit that resembles a rugby ball, but it is not as round as a rugby ball.

The fruit in the third picture is covered in sharp thorns, but its shape is not too long.

After seeing these three pictures, Xuan Mingtian already knew the answer in his heart.

The first one is the simplest; it's the banana-scented fruit. The second one might be a little more difficult for others, but it's very easy for him. This fruit is called the ridged melon fruit.

Looking at the third picture, many people would mistake it for a horned fruit if they didn't look closely.

Xuan Mingtian, however, believed it to be a pungent fruit, because such fruits, before ripening, are very similar to each other in every way except for color.

However, with careful observation, one can notice some slightly raised dots in the picture. It seems this teacher, Mr. Wang, is trying to scam people.

"Xiao Tian, ​​do you know what kind of fruit is in the last picture?"

Xiao Gang asked with a puzzled look, and not only him, but Yang Bin also looked at him with the same gaze.

"Shh~, if I'm not mistaken, the third picture is definitely a thorn fruit."

Xuan Mingtian made a silencing gesture, signaling them not to speak out. He then revealed the answer he knew; after all, as someone from a fourth-generation farming family, how could he not know the shape of the tree fruit?

"Classmates, who can answer which type of fruit these three pictures depict?"

"Swish~ Swish~"

As soon as he finished speaking, the teacher looked at the excited students. His joy was evident on his face.

"Then let Class Monitor Bai Ying answer this."

The teacher's words seemed to stimulate Bai Ying, and she immediately stood up.

"Teacher, the first picture is a banana fruit, the second is a ridge gourd fruit, and the third is a horned fruit."

The class monitor spoke fluently, naming the fruits in the three pictures. He even looked at the teacher with a pleased expression, as if eagerly awaiting praise.

"As expected of the class monitor, you're really amazing. But it's a pity you guessed the last picture wrong."

Upon hearing the first half, Bai Ying's joy intensified. However, the second half of the story left her frozen in place, as if petrified.

"Haha, judging from your expressions, you must be very confused. Well then, let me reveal the answer now."

With a simple click on the computer, the shadows obscuring the fruit vanished instantly, revealing their true appearance.

Xuan Mingtian was right; the last photo was indeed of the thorn fruit.

"It seems you have indeed studied hard. However, those who guessed wrong should not be discouraged. The last picture is of an unripe fruit in the eye."

"Because it is very similar to horned fruit, it is difficult for non-professional breeders and fruit farmers to guess. So, you all need to work harder."

The teacher's words relieved Bai Ying's petrified state.

"Alright, students, today we're going to talk about the special features of tree fruits. Turn your attention to the screen."

As the entire class turned their attention to the projection screen, Teacher Wang spoke again.

"The first thing we need to talk about is the well-known orange fruit."

Immediately afterwards, all the known information about the Orange Fruit appeared on the screen.

When ripe, the fruit averages 3.5 centimeters in size. Its outer skin is very hard, but the flesh inside is quite soft.

The pulp of the orange fruit has a flavor profile that includes spicy, astringent, bitter, and sour.

In today's society, the flavor levels of tree fruits are already labeled. All four flavors of Orange Fruit are rated at level 10, which is the lowest.

联盟对口味的等级划分为：40、35、30、25、20、15和10（40最大，10最低）

The flavor profile is of paramount importance. When making energy cubes, careful attention must be paid to flavor combinations; a slight mishap can ruin an entire batch.

The screen also details the growth and ripening time of the oranges, and the timing when the geographical location is suitable and there is abundant rainfall.

A person can harvest oranges 2-3 times a month, but the oranges at Xuanmingtian's house, thanks to the nourishment of grass-type spirits and abundant rainfall, can produce up to four oranges a month.
