Chapter 189 The Phantom in the Night
Fifteen fully grown fruit trees alone can produce a lot of fruit every month, not to mention the crops planted in large fields. A warehouse can't store them all.
"I can understand your request. The storage of crops is a big challenge for all farms. It's not bad in spring now. As long as they are stored in a suitable environment, the crops can be stored for a long time, but in summer, I'm afraid..."
The contractor scratched his head and calmly pointed out the fatal problem of the farm.
"Other farms use freezers for storage, which consumes a lot of electricity and costs a lot to build freezers. Even if you take a step back, you have to buy a lot of freezers, but the environment of your farm is not very modern, haha."
Luo Mu could hear the contractor's euphemism. Isn't it that his farm lacks traces of modern technology? The ground is not paved, and farm operations rely entirely on Pokémon. There is not even a street lamp at night, and it is pitch dark.
The electricity is all from a small wire nearby, which is enough to supply one house. There is no condition to open a freezer or a large number of freezers.
Luo Mu has already made plans for this. He only needs to add one or two ice-type Pokémon to the farm before summer. Then the natural ice storage will be no worse than the freezer, right?
Moreover, Dragonite can also use the freezing beam move, and Swampert can also use the freezing punch. It is not impossible. In the Pokémon world, making good use of the power of Pokémon is the kingly way.
Thinking of this, Luo Mu said, "You should help me build two warehouses of the same specifications next to it. As for the storage problem in summer, I will also have a way to solve it by then."
The contractor did not doubt him. Anyway, just looking at Luo Mu's Pokémon, he knew that his identity was not simple. There should be many solutions. Instead of thinking so much, it is better to take this order and consolidate the relationship with Luo Mu, the future big customer.
After the contractor left the farm with the new contract, Luo Mu stretched and muttered, "It has been a while since Psyche left. Why hasn't there been any news yet?"
His expectations for the housekeeper Pokémon have reached the peak. Don't tell him that the review has not passed.
Ding Dong~
The phone in his pocket rang, Luo Mu quickly took out his phone, and when he saw the sender on the screen, his eyes lit up: "This is too coincidental, speak of the devil, the devil appears."
[Ye Ci: The matter of the Pokémon Butler Academy in the Kalos region has been settled. When do you have time to go to the Kalos region, I will help you register.]
Luo Mu checked the time. Today is March 15th. Lei Si and Shinji came to visit the farm the day before yesterday. Yesterday he called the contractor to discuss the details of building the chicken house, and it was completed today.
The time of the invitation in the letter from Shimi to him is very flexible. He will stay in the Kalos region from March to May. During this period, he welcomes Luo Mu to visit at any time.
Half a month has passed since the spring break, and the second semester of this year's Orange Academy will start soon. Since he is going to the Kalos region, he must set aside at least seven days.
During this time, he had to arrange all matters on the farm, including the matters of Growlithe and Moltres. After thinking for a while, Luo Mu decided on the time.
[Luo Mu: Then I will leave on March 21st. After arriving in Kalos, I will contact them when the specific time of the visit comes. Is that okay?]
[Ye Ci: No problem]
Late at night.
Because there are no street lights, except for some Pokémon with good night vision, most Pokémon in the farm will not choose to wander around at night, and they have developed a good habit of going to bed and getting up early.
Roentgen Cat had just finished the last round of patrols, and even it was a little tired at this time, not to mention the two little tails following it - Growlithe and Moltres who volunteered to participate in the late night patrol.
The two puppies were no different from the wandering souls at night, with weak steps and swaying, like wandering souls.
Roentgen Cat yawned calmly, looked at them helplessly, and thought it was almost time to rest, so he led the two Pokémon towards the house.
After Roentgen Cat left for a long time, a pair of big eyes suddenly opened in the grass not far from the fence outside the farm.
It finally waited for the opportunity.
According to its observations in the past few days, there are many powerful Pokémon in this farm. It dared not invade the interior during the day, and only dared to move at night long after the powerful guardian left.
Now that the powerful guardian has finally left to rest, it has been observing for many days. This rest will last until dawn, and then the guardian will patrol again.
It’s time to take action now!
The black figure hidden in the grass nimbly climbed over the fence without making any noise. Its black body, which almost blended into the night, came to the warehouse where many foods were stored.
It observed for a long time and determined that this warehouse was where the hateful humans usually stored food.
It was going to poison this human being like the ones on the farm, just like before.
But the method of directly applying poison to the fruits of crops might arouse the opponent's vigilance. This time, we have to change another method and quietly apply the poison on its fingertips on the food in the warehouse.
As for those Pokémon, there is nothing we can do. Who made them live with the hateful humans who abandoned them?
It is not afraid that the other party will notice its venom. After all, it knows its own abilities very well. As long as it eats those foods, it can produce venom with the same color and no pungent smell but only sweet and fragrant.
Even if Pokémon with a sensitive sense of smell are there, the opponent will only mistake it for the smell of food and increase its appetite. It is absolutely impossible to be discovered before eating it.
With a few slightly morbid laughs, the poison Pokémon is full of the pleasure of revenge. It deftly opens the window and flips into the warehouse to start its own revenge.
At a certain moment, the bright moonlight covered by clouds fell softly, illuminating the figure of the little lemur who was struggling to apply venom in the warehouse with the window opened.
The next day, Luo Mu got up early.
He planned to change his breakfast today and make some puff pastry fruit pie for Pokémon.
As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw the Roentgen cat sniffing the ground with a puzzled look on his face. Luo Mu asked in confusion: "What are you doing?"
"Meow."
The Roentgen cat looked up and replied in distress. It always felt that there seemed to be a strange fragrance on the ground of the farm, which made it a little puzzled.
"Oh."
Luo Mu nodded in understanding and asked the Roentgen cat to continue sniffing. He reminded: "I'll go to the warehouse to get some fruit. You go ahead and do your thing."
The Roentgen cat continued to sniff with its head down, searching along the source of the fragrance. It called out without raising its head as a response.
Luo Mu smiled as if he was used to it. These actions were all manifestations of the Roentgen cat's sense of responsibility.
Wearing new slippers, Luo Mu walked out of the warehouse.
Before opening the door, Luo Mu frowned and looked at the open warehouse window next to him, wondering, "Did you forget to close the window yesterday?"
Scratching his head, Luo Mu opened the door of the warehouse, took a deep breath to feel the fragrance, and sighed, "The fragrance of the fruit is getting stronger and stronger. It seems that I can make a good puff pastry fruit pie."
I will go out for a two-day trip tomorrow, and I will update it in two days QAQ
