"These are for you."
"Consider this my apology for my rudeness; you must accept it."
Fang Xiaolu handed a basket of fragrant bread to AZ.
Before AZ could react, the basket with bread was shoved into her hands.
"Uncle, please accept it, otherwise my brother will say I'm impolite again."
"By the way, Uncle, my name is Fang Xiaolu."
"Your name is..."
Fang Xiaolu winked at AZ and said in a rather playful manner.
AZ raised his eyes and met Fang Gu's gaze from not far away, whose eyes held a hint of goodwill.
"I...I really don't know how to thank your family."
"As for my name..."
A flicker of sadness crossed AZ's eyes. "I've long forgotten about it."
"May Zernius be with you."
AZ bowed deeply to Fang Gu's family and then disappeared into the dense forest.
[Ding! Congratulations on gaining +100 favorability points with AZ]
"We've collected almost everything we needed to this time, it's time to head back."
Fang Gu looked at his backpack full of haul and said to Fang Xing and Fang Xiaolu.
On the way back, Fang Xiaolu gently stroked the "little one's" body, and the latter leaned comfortably against Fang Xiaolu's hand.
"Brother, how exactly did you meet that tall uncle?"
Fang Xiaolu asked while munching on a cat-shaped bread.
The cat was so frightened that it burrowed into Fang Gu's arms.
Fang Xing, who had been silent all along, also perked up his ears.
Fang Gu was a little embarrassed and scratched his cheek: "This all started with an experience I had while mining."
……
"As expected, that tall uncle is a good person."
Fang Xiaolu gave a thumbs up, indicating her approval of AZ.
Fang Xing remained silent for a moment. It seemed that he had really misunderstood that guy. He would apologize to him when they met again.
Fang Xing is a straightforward person and doesn't feel embarrassed.
Since he saved his brother, he deserves his apology.
In addition...
Fang Xing looked in the direction of the abandoned cave, at the group of supersonic bats, and at the group of guys in red suits.
How dare she hurt her own brother?
Unforgivable!
Fang Xing's eyes narrowed into slits, emitting a cold, piercing light.
It felt like we had to cross a forest, pass through a cave, and face a swarm of supersonic bats.
"After tomorrow's event, I'm going to have a good showdown with you all!"
The Zubat, which was gathering fruit nearby, suddenly felt a chill, a chill more terrifying than the ice and snow of winter! It was comparable to the Absolute Zero of an Ice-type Pokémon!
Chapter 90: Future Prospects for the Three Bees
When Fang Gu's family returned to the farm, all three of them looked exhausted.
"Go and get some rest, Xiaoxing."
Fang Gu said to Fang Xing, the greatest contributor of the day.
Fang Xing, along with Frog and Absol, cut down hundreds of units of timber in the Ancient Moon Bird Forest today, which have already been transported to the carpenter's shop.
For a small fee in Alliance Coins, you can have Rhodes and Robin help you process the planks you need.
As for stone slabs and similar items, they could only be purchased from carpenters' shops.
Fortunately, considering that Stardew Valley Ranch was just starting out, Rhodes reduced the prices of planks and stone slabs sold to Stardew Valley considerably.
This amount of money can be offset by the sweetness produced by four bees.
Fang Xing gave a soft "hmm" and stretched.
He always had the habit of taking a nap in the afternoon, and his training was not just about grueling hard work.
It is essential to pay attention to balancing work and rest.
After training, Fang Xing would personally massage Frog and Absol to soothe their tired bodies.
"I'll go take care of the little one!"
Fang Xiaolu took Z2 directly into her room.
Although Z2 is one of the Zygarde Core members who hates humans, he will not physically attack them.
Fang Xiaolu and Fang Gu even rescued it.
Pokémon are creatures that don't repay kindness with enmity.
The only possibility is that Z2 finds a suitable opportunity to leave.
Fang Gu shook his head, took a bite of the snack in his hand, and felt his pulse return instantly.
"Then I'll go to the garden to help Bulbasaur plant flowers."
Before making the cake, Fang Gu also needs to take some time to do some farm work.
This is just a typical day at Stardew Valley Ranch.
Fang Gu strode into the mysterious garden and looked at the small mounds of earth, where new green shoots were standing tall.
Hundreds in a row.
These are the results of the efforts of the three bees and Bulbasaur all morning.
This also includes Geodude.
These flowers were all new seeds from Peter at the grocer's shop, who said that almost every type of flower could be found in the city of Winged.
Plants like hyacinths, spider lilies, honesty, violets, primroses...
There are also some species unique to the Pokémon world.
Bulbasaur and the three bees were overjoyed.
Bulbasaur can see more flowers, while the three honeybees can collect nectar from more varieties of flowers, which can create a unique sweet flavor.
"Three bees, Bulbasaur, and Geodude!"
Fang Gu greeted the six little guys from afar.
They agreed to plant the seeds of the eternal flower together.
"Buzz!"
Three bees flew over first and began to circle around Fang Gu.
The joy on the three bees' faces was impossible to hide.
"Alright, alright, I know you're being good."
Fang Gu took turns petting each of the three bees.
The first one is naturally the three bees with small red dots in the middle of their faces.
It's the female Triton Bee that Fang Gu and Bulbasaur found; the small red spots on its face are a sign of the Triton Bee's sex.
The female three-necked bee, a special contributor to the Magic Nectar Sandwich, is now significantly larger than when Fang Gu found it.
Its level and strength also increased rapidly after being fed sandwiches.
To subdue these three little bees, the three bees did not rely on their status as the future queen of the hive, but instead defeated them one by one in a fair and square manner.
They are now loyal servants of the three female bees, except for the occasional temptation caused by the delicacies made by Fang Gu.
Three Bees: Only the Queen and delicious food are indispensable, but if the food is exceptionally delicious, the Queen might as well give it up.
Of course, that was just a joke.
The remaining three bees naturally knew that the female bee was loyal to Fang Gu.
Fang Gu's existence is like that of an emperor.
Fang Gu gently stroked the head of the three bees, and the three bees' faces turned as red as if they had eaten honey.
"Buzz!"
"You should be evolving soon too."
The three female bees in front of him had almost reached the required level after being trained by Fang Gu for a period of time.
In the game, female Tribeca needs to reach level 21 to evolve.
In the Pokémon world where the average final evolution level for Bug-type Pokémon is around ten or so, Tribeca is considered to be a relatively late-evolving Bug-type Pokémon.
After the three bees evolve, they will inevitably have a fierce battle with the queen of the three bee population in the Ancient Moon Bird Forest.
A mountain cannot hold two queen bees.
Within a certain range, the pheromones released by two queen bees will interfere with each other.
A winner must be decided.
Especially when two queen bees appear in the same colony.
I wonder if that queen bee will regret driving the female three-necked bees out of the Stardew Valley colony.
