Farming in the Pokémon World

Otani was analyzing the composition of the mutant fruit in the basement laboratory, and the results were disappointing.

Although the mutated fruit grows faster, its nutritional value has also become much lower, only about one-third of that of ordinary fruit, and its cost-effectiveness has been greatly reduced.

Even though the growth rate is fast and the fruit yield is high, these two advantages cannot be ignored, but relatively speaking, after the nutritional value becomes lower, three mutant fruits are comparable to one normal fruit.

This is far from what Otani expected. Of course, it cannot be said that the mutated fruit has no value. On the contrary, it is very valuable.

Even if it cannot be used as a raw material for blocks, breaking it into pieces and making it into food for the elves is also a very good choice.

Ordinary elf rations are made from the vines of vine monsters, mixed with a small amount of tree fruits.

If mutated fruit is used here, the proportion of fruit in the ration can be increased, and the price will not increase, which means increasing the quantity without raising the price.

Although the energy will not increase a lot, the taste will be much stronger.

What I am afraid of is that inferior products are sold as good ones, with the same proportions and price, but less nutrition.

Therefore, Otani still does not intend to let the fruit of this tree flow out to prevent it from falling into the hands of unscrupulous merchants.

Otani sat in the laboratory and thought, the great man in his previous life must have encountered such troubles. How did he solve them?

Otani suddenly remembered that the rice in his previous life was the result of an accidental cross-pollination with wild rice, which resulted in the hybrid rice with better yield and quality.

Maybe I can do this myself. It just so happens that Land Shark is a community hero and he is good friends with many Pokémon in the forest. I can ask him to help talk to his friends and help collect some wild fruits.

At that time, by pollinating each other one by one, we can slowly select fruits with better yield, faster growth and higher nutritional value.

Otani found the Sharptooth Land Shark who was in training. The Sharptooth Land Shark patted his chest and promised to complete the task, and then took Hua Beibei into the forest.

Not long after, he came back, followed by a lot of Pokémon.

They all brought the fruits they found, some more and some less, and Otani accepted them all and gave them rewards in the form of cubes proportional to the amount of fruits they found, and of course even more.

All the Pokémon in the forest were smiling happily, saying that they would definitely come back to find them if there were such good things in the future.

Then they returned to the forest in twos and threes.

Otani planted the fruit trees one by one according to their varieties, and built simple isolation rooms to prevent accidental pollination.

On this day, Otani was recording the growth of fruit trees in the experimental field when Du Xing came to his door in a hurry.

"Otani, Otani, do you still have that cube?"

Watari said excitedly.

"Well, yes, there are still quite a few materials left."

"If you help me make five, I will give you 10 billion Alliance Coins." He still felt a little distressed after saying this.

10 billion Alliance Coins, even for a top second-generation rich man like Du, it is not something that can be taken out easily.

"That's a lot. It'll take a while. I don't have time to do it now."

Otani said with some embarrassment.

"What's wrong? What are you doing?"

Du looked at the isolation rooms in the yard with some confusion.

Otani shared his idea with Watari.

Watari didn't know what to say for a moment, he just admired Otani's approach from the bottom of his heart. Even Professor Oak had never thought about this.

Professor Oak has been committed to the development of league trainers for many years and even gave up the title of the first league champion for this.

He devoted himself to the research of Pokémon without hesitation. Over the years, the trainer industry has been able to flourish, and he has contributed a lot to it. The most powerful invention is the integrated Pokédex.

However, this invention has been strictly restricted by the League. Currently, only the direct descendants of the League can own it, or it can be issued as an exception to extremely outstanding trainers.

Even Otani didn't get the illustrated guide, so you can imagine how strict the alliance's control over this thing is.

However, it is understandable that the Alliance did this. After all, once a powerful weapon like Pokémon is used to do bad things, the destructive power is absolutely astonishing. Limiting the distribution of the Pokémon Encyclopedia is to prevent people with bad intentions from getting the Pokémon Encyclopedia to develop quickly and cause greater damage.

The Pokémon Dictionary developed by Professor Oak does more than just identify Pokémon information. It can also help trainers develop training plans, scan Pokémon's status, adjust training directions in a timely manner, and help trainers quickly build their own teams.

This is one reason why the League trainers can develop a certain level of combat power so quickly, and it is also an important reason why the League restricts its distribution.

At the same time, the holders of the illustrated books can also eat and live for free in various elf centers, and there is also a fixed monthly subsidy, the amount is not small. This is also one of the reasons for limiting the issuance, the alliance cannot afford it.

However, if Otani is currently breeding tree fruits, there won't be so many restrictions. Tree fruits are basic Pokémon resources and are consumed in large quantities. If Otani's research is successful, he will definitely be an important figure who can be recorded in the history of the alliance.

"Do you need me to help you find some trustworthy helpers?"

Du said seriously.

"Not yet, I can handle it myself."

Otani said, shaking his head.

It is better not to make the breeding matter public for the time being, so as to avoid being targeted by those with ulterior motives. He does not want to wait until the results come out and then have others take advantage of him. There have been countless such incidents in his previous life.

The scientific researchers below worked hard and made some achievements, but suddenly a leader came in and took everything for himself.

Although Otani is not afraid with his current strength, it is always better to have less trouble than more. Less trouble is always better.

Watari didn't bother Otani much, he paid the money and left. He still had to go back to check on Charizard. Fortunately, with Otani's reminder, he made sufficient preparations when he returned. Charizard's movement after taking the original cube was indeed very loud. It is still recuperating now. But the effect of the cube is amazing.

Charizard's strength has hardly improved over the years. Even when he had been eating Otani's special blocks for a long time, his progress was very slow and almost imperceptible. But this time it was different. Charizard told Du that he felt he had broken through the bottleneck and his strength had reached a whole new level.

If he hadn't just broken through and was a little weak, Du would have found an opponent on the spot to fight and test his fighting strength.

After Du left, Otani would take time out every day to help him make the original cube. It took five days to finish it, and he called Du to pick it up. After that, he ignored him and went about his own business.

Du was not in a hurry to leave. He wandered around the farm. He saw the mutated plants in the farm and noticed the changes in Venusaur.

I now understand why there have been such changes on the farm.

Otani didn't care about these things. Du was an absolutely trustworthy person, so Otani naturally wouldn't hide anything from him.

After a period of research, Otani's experiment finally made progress. The latest cultivated experimental seedling No. 103, while retaining rapid growth and high yield, the nutritional content of the fruit has been significantly improved, but the fertility requirements have also become higher, but within an acceptable range.

The fruits of experimental tree No. 103 are just two pieces that are as good as ordinary fruits, but the yield is higher, about 3% more.

That is to say, the normal fruit yields 100 fruits, while No. 103 can produce 130 fruits.

This is a big improvement. Although it is still not perfect, any progress is good. With the experimental results, Otani has become more motivated.

When Du heard the news, he was also happy for Otani.

However, subsequent experiments hit a bottleneck again. No matter how hard breeding was done, there was no way to improve yield and nutrition.

Otani did not give up and continued to collect wild fruits. He started a new round of breeding from experimental tree No. 103.
