I'm in Pokémon, but the system is Stardew Valley.

He planned to write up a report on the case of the ugly fish and have it reviewed by his supervisor.

After paying the consultation fee, Fang Gu gently patted the Pokémon Ball of the stinky fish, his eyes full of anticipation.

I really hope you get better soon.

Fang Gu wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that the Feebas's Poké Ball shook slightly.

"Most definitely."

Qiao Yichun handed Fang Gu the bags of medicine he had bought, a smile on her face, "Little Gu is someone who really cherishes Pokémon."

Fang Gu smiled sheepishly. In his previous life, Pokémon had accompanied him through countless highs and lows.

After bidding farewell to Miss Qiao Yichun, Fang Gu arrived at the blacksmith shop in Guyue Bird Town.

Chapter 155 Methods for Making Tree Fruit Fertilizer

Ancient Moon Bird Town, Blacksmith Shop.

As soon as Fang Gu entered the blacksmith shop, he felt a wave of heat hitting him.

Steve was shirtless, hammering a hot steel billet.

Sweat stained Steve's muscular physique with a glossy bronze color, and each hammer blow sent sparks flying like dazzling fireworks.

"Woo——"

The coal turtle nearby was still heating the coal inside its shell, raising the indoor temperature once again, while the soot from the burning coal was being sent outside through a specially designed chimney.

Fang Gu felt beads of sweat forming on his forehead, dripping down in the direction of gravity.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Fang Gu watched as the round lump of steel in Steve's hand transformed into a sturdy farm tool.

As the blacksmith of Old Moonbird Town, Steve's farm tools are highly praised.

Even the old farmers, after drinking too much, kept boasting at the Starlight Restaurant that the farm tools Steve had made could be passed down as family heirlooms.

After forging was complete, Steve tossed a grapefruit to the Coal Turtle.

This fruit is yellow, resembling a combination of a pear and a grapefruit, and can replenish a Pokémon's stamina.

Steve wiped the sweat from his body with a towel, then grabbed a jacket and draped it over himself.

Steve didn't notice Fang Gu's arrival until Fang Gu coughed lightly twice.

"Fang Gu, what brings you here! Did you find some rare stone again?"

Steve's eyes were filled with anticipation; he had always considered Fang Gu a fellow stone enthusiast.

This is true.

However, Fang Gu only likes stones that provide benefits to Pokémon, such as Mega Evolution Stones, Key Stones, and Attribute Gems.

Fang Gu coughed twice. "Then we'll have to see how lucky you are."

Fang Gu opened his spatial backpack, revealing a bag of crystal spheres inside, which looked to be about five or six.

These crystal spheres may contain royal treasures from three thousand years ago, or some precious stones.

Of course, it could also be some classic and stylish little trash, like stones or clay.

Looking at these crystal spheres, Steve narrowed his eyes slightly and asked Fang Gu, "You've gone mining again?"

Fang Gu's mind instantly translated Steve's words into the following sentences.

Did you secretly go down into the mine behind my back again?

As fellow enthusiasts, how could we search for stones together without inviting him!

How despicable! Fang Gu brat!

However, these crystal spheres were certainly not dug up by Fang Gu himself.

It was unearthed by Fang Gu's Star Expedition Team.

Fang Gu's purpose in coming here was to have Steve fuse the copper and iron ore mined by the Star Expedition into metal ingots.

This makes it easier for Fanggu to produce special equipment listed in the craftsman's catalog, such as mayonnaise machines and dryers.

In fact, the furnace, a refining device, appeared in Fanggu's artisan catalog a long time ago. However, the furnace in Stardew Valley takes a while to produce metal ingots, and Fanggu cannot stay in front of the furnace indefinitely.

At the same time, each time the furnace is started, it consumes one piece of coal. However, if the furnace is given to Steve for refining, no coal is required. Instead, Steve will be paid some Alliance Coins as a reward.

Fang Gu preferred to use the coal for smoking and drying fish.

However, if Stardew Valley had Fire-type Pokémon, it wouldn't be so difficult.

Unfortunately, as an affiliated town of the coastal city of Winged City, Crescent Town has a pitifully small number of Fire-type Pokémon.

The only Fire-type Pokémon Fang Gu had ever seen were Steve's Torkoal and the little monkeys living in the nearby forest.

However, it is certainly not Chimchar, one of the starter Pokémon from the Sinnoh region.

Instead, it's the Sizzle, which can breathe fire at 300 degrees Celsius. However, this Pokémon is playful by nature and not one that can be easily kept still.

For Fang Gu, the Fragrant Monkey is the kind of Stardew Valley employee who likes to slack off! Forget about it.

When you have time, you can go to the eastern mountain region to catch lava worms. The surface temperature of lava worms is much higher than that of Exploding Monkeys, and you can even put them in your fireplace for warmth.

After telling Steve in detail about forming the Star Expedition Team, the latter looked at him with disbelief.

"It's actually possible to do this."

Steve poked the head of the Coal Turtle beside him and said, "Why don't you start some kind of Iron Expedition Team and help me mine some minerals?"

Coal Turtle glanced at Steve, then exhaled a puff of smoke, turning Steve's face black.

You don't even realize how you'll forge iron without me!

After the Coal Turtle leisurely left, Steve laughed to cover his embarrassment and wiped his face with a clean towel.

"Bring all these crystal spheres over here."

"My hammer is itching for a forging!"

Fang Gu handed the bag of crystal balls to Steve, who then opened it at a price of 25 Alliance Coins.

"Ding!"

After the crystal spheres were cracked open one by one, Fang Gu gently brushed away the debris attached to the surface of the crystal spheres, revealing the items underneath.

Fang Gu's face immediately turned as black as coal.

Of the five crystal spheres, three were empty, containing only two items: a stone emitting a blue light and a black object that looked like a bag of clay.

Seeing this, Steve suppressed a laugh, walked over to Fang Gu's side, and patted it on the shoulder: "It's okay, people's luck is like that, sometimes good, sometimes bad."

"Furthermore, I discovered that the shallower the crystal sphere is, the higher the probability that it contains airborne material."

"In the outer five layers, it is already quite remarkable that you were able to produce two items out of five crystal spheres."

"Moreover, look at this stone, it's probably a very rare mineral. Even I, a stone enthusiast, didn't recognize it."

Steve held the blue ore and examined it carefully, his eyes full of appreciation.

"Since you like it, then I'll give you this ore."

"Is it true?"

A flicker of joy appeared in Steve's eyes, but then he felt a little embarrassed. He then said, "How about this? I won't charge you Alliance Coins for the next three metal ingot craftings."

Fang Gu nodded.

Another day of getting Steve for free.

Fang Gu's gaze fell on the last bag of items knocked out by the crystal ball, and the information provided by the Stardew Valley panel immediately appeared on the bag.

[Tree and fruit fertilizer, quality A. Three thousand years ago, a master gardener devoted his later years to researching and developing this all-purpose fertilizer. Using this material, trees and fruits can grow in any environment.]

[Tree Fruit Fertilizer Production Method (Paper), Quality S. Production of this fertilizer requires several rare tree fruits, which can be produced using tree fruit mutations.]

The method for making this tree fruit fertilizer is hidden inside this bag.

Chapter 156 The Controversial Figure of Ancient Moon Bird Town: Z2 Interception

Fruit mutation occurs when two adjacent fruit trees produce fruit that is not the type of fruit that should be produced by either tree when the fruit is ripe.

This can actually be considered a hybridization of tree fruits.

Just like how combining Orange Berry and Peach Berry results in a mutated fruit called Biba Berry, which increases the bond between the feeder and the Pokémon when eaten.

If there is a Pokémon nearby that can transfer pollen, the probability of berry mutation will increase.

Among these Pokémon are the most hardworking little bees in Stardew Valley Ranch – the Bee Family.

The fruits of these common fruit trees that have undergone mutations can serve as raw materials for fruit fertilizer.

Fang Gu felt that after only two or three rounds of tree fruit planting, he would be able to produce tree fruit fertilizer in large quantities and plant rare tree fruits.

The time required to plant two or three rounds of fruit trees is not very long.

Berry trees, as magical crops, are one of the foundations of the Pokémon world, which is almost a utopian world. They can produce berries in just a few days, solving the survival problems of many Pokémon.

This prevented a war between Pokémon and humans over food and land resources.

Fang Gu estimates that if they start now, they can complete the planting of the rare tree fruit by mid-summer.

"We need to go back and properly plan the orchard."

After chatting with Steve for a few more minutes and agreeing to mine together again next time, Fang Gu set off on his way back to Stardew Valley Ranch.

Meanwhile, in Crescent Moon Town, Mrs. Martha gently supported Joe as they slowly lifted their feet and moved along the walking stick in their home.

Joe looked at his trembling feet, and tears streamed down his face uncontrollably.

It had never before felt so real.

After consuming traditional remedies made from freshly made MooMoo milk for several days in a row, Joe's previously lifeless feet regained their vitality.

And all of this is thanks to Fang Gu and Big Milk Jar Lingling.

After half an hour of rehabilitation training, Joe was covered in sweat, and Mrs. Martha helped him into a wheelchair.
