Elf: A bad trainer starts from farming

Chapter 3 Inheritance
  When I opened the door, a damp and musty smell hit my face, and dust filled the room.

The living room of the villa is large, but it looks very deserted. The furniture is neatly arranged and no one has touched it for a long time. All the windows are covered by brown curtains.

There are stairs leading to the second floor against the walls on both sides. Under the stairs are piles of shovels and barrels, as well as some piled-up tables and chairs and other sundries.

In addition, there are not too many decorations in the living room, not even vases or photos. Maybe it is because I don’t want to spend money on these simple and beautiful decorations.

Mingyou opened all the windows for ventilation to let the musty smell in the room dissipate as soon as possible. At this time, he suddenly discovered that the windows were not locked at all, and there was even a window that was half open.

So careless?
  With doubts, he then walked around the various rooms on the first floor, including the kitchen, bathroom, and the back door leading to the backyard vegetable patch and fish pond...

After a while, the air in the house was finally much fresher. After discovering that the water and electricity in the villa were not cut off, he found an outlet and put his Rotom phone there to charge. Then he took out his apron, put it on, and started cleaning.

It was only when I started cleaning that I discovered that on the dust covering the floor, I could vaguely see some footprints that did not belong to him. However, a few months before my grandfather passed away, no one should have lived here.

"A Pokémon this size should be... climbing through the window to find food?"

Mingyou guessed this and continued to work. However, while cleaning, he always felt that there seemed to be some eyes secretly watching him in the house.

Feeling the sight, his eyes fell on the wooden cabinet in the corner of the living room. There were some books placed above it. The edges were already covered with cobwebs, but among them was a broken black and white tea can that was very conspicuous.

The white part on the tea can looks like a face, with eyes and mouth that resemble black graffiti. There are three black dots on the right forehead, and the tea can on the left forehead has green cracks.

[Smoocha (high-end goods): Matcha Pokémon, a person who hates wasting food, if you bring some damaged or broken crafts, it should be very happy, but don’t let it know that you destroyed it]

"Grandpa's Pokémon?"

Appearing here, Mingyou immediately thought so, but Si Mocha did not respond.

Holding the broom, he stepped forward.

When he was about to continue asking, he found a letter next to Smoocha. Looking at the dust on it, it seemed that it had been there for a long time.

Curiously, I picked up the letter and read it.

The letter was left by grandpa, and it seems that he forgot to send it along with the door key.

The letter mentioned that my grandfather was a researcher when he was young. After hearing that Taijing phenomenon also existed in Beishang Township, he came here from Padiya to investigate.

But at that time, the village did not trust outsiders and hindered him in every way. Finally, he had no choice but to buy a piece of land on the confluence river beach far away from the village as a research institute, and often traveled between Beishang Township and Padiya.

But the institute was located in the wild, and the wild Pokémon of that era had less contact with humans, and most of them were not very friendly. They often fought each other because they were hungry and couldn't find food.

For the sake of safety, my grandfather brought some planting techniques from Padea and planted fruit trees and vegetables here. He had a relatively simple idea, thinking that as long as there was a good harvest, there would be no need to worry too much about wild Pokémon not finding food and attacking them. He did.

But just because there is food here, it attracts many wild Pokémon to live here. It should be very dangerous, but these Pokémon did not attack him, but regarded him as a companion... …

Over time, they became close, which gave Grandpa, who had always been obsessed with scientific research, a new understanding of creatures like Pokémon.

In addition, the Taijing research was terminated due to the bankruptcy of the investor. He already fell in love with Pokémon, so he simply quit the team and stayed here to live with Pokémon. As a Pokémon ranger, he used the manor to Take in those rescued Pokémon.

For decades, his family expressed understanding and support for his grandfather's decision. However, as he grew older, his energy was not as good as before, and his memory also declined.

His wife and children passed away one after another, and he suffered a serious illness. It was that time that left the root of the disease, and he knew that he did not have much time left.

Realizing that his health was getting worse, he could only make plans and leave this letter in advance.

He wanted to leave everything he had to his grandson to take care of, hoping that one day he would come over to take over and inherit it.

"..."

After reading the contents of the letter, Mingyou folded the letter, put it away, and sighed softly.

Unexpectedly, grandpa was here alone, doing the job of a ranger, taking care of the Pokémon around him, and he had been doing this for decades. Are you stubborn or do you already have feelings? Perhaps only the deceased grandpa knows the answer to this question.

The other party must be aware of his situation, but as his only relative, the other party can only have a trace of hope and believe that he can take care of it...

"Give me this burden..."

Mingyou looked a little helpless. If he inherited it, he would have to bear the debt. If he didn't inherit it, his grandfather's hard work for so many years would become a tourist attraction.

From entering the manor to now, every Pokémon he has seen may have been taken care of by his grandfather and regarded this place as his home.

If the manors were to be demolished, at best they could be given new homes, at worst they could be left homeless and return to their previous lives.

How to do it?

Mingyou is really not easy to make decisions. He wants to inherit, but he is worried about paying off his debts. After all, he is now helpless and alone, and it is difficult to earn any income if he stays in Beishang Township...

After pondering for a long time, he came back to his senses and looked forward. After trying to communicate with Smoocha, he found that the other party still ignored him, so he had to continue cleaning and tidy up the house...

Unconsciously, the sky gradually darkened.

As night fell, the only light in the villa gave the quiet manor a sense of warmth that it had not seen for a long time.

At this time, a figure suddenly flashed across the dim orchard, alarming Alidos who was resting in the tree, but he had already left before he could react.

In the living room, after a busy afternoon, Mingyou finally cleaned the villa. It was quite tiring to do this kind of thing alone, but he enjoyed it.

He has been taken care of since he was a child. Now that he has recovered his memory, he should become independent and take care of himself and no longer rely on others!

I looked at the time on my phone.

8:20PM
  It was already very late, and he hadn't eaten yet. He planned to rest on the sofa after finishing his meal.

He had never rested from Niangguang City to here. There was a 12-hour time difference between Beishang Township and Padiya area, and he really couldn't bear it.

After walking around the kitchen, the only things left to eat were a bunch of unopened noodles and garlic. Cooking noodles in water was too monotonous, so he had to take his mobile phone to pick some vegetables from the backyard vegetable patch to use as ingredients.

The vegetable plot in the backyard is quite large, but it has not been taken care of for a long time, and many weeds have grown.

I looked around with my phone and saw that the harvest was okay. Jicama, tomatoes, cabbage and green onions were enough as side dishes.

On the way back to the house, he looked at the jicama he had just dug out in his hand...also called sweet potato.

[Jicama (D-): The soil is very good, but it can only grow with this quality if no one takes care of it. Rather than eating it raw, it would be better to cut it into thin pieces and make sweet potato soup]

Looking at the information, Mingyou couldn't help but think of the strange card from before, which seemed to be able to change the type of jicama seeds.

As for the letters behind jicama, they represent quality. Of course, the higher the better, if the modified crops can improve the quality, they should be rare and sell at a good price...

Maybe there were too many things going on today, so Mingyou suddenly thought of making money.

Take the vegetables back to the kitchen, then clean them, chop the onions and garlic, slice the tomatoes, half of them are used to mix tomatoes with sugar, and half are chopped and cooked for noodles later. The sweet potatoes are also directly peeled and cut into pieces and served as fruits.

Then heat the pan and pour oil, add minced onion and garlic and stir-fry until fragrant, add chopped tomatoes and stir-fry until the juice is released, then pour in water, season briefly, add noodles and cabbage, and the aroma will come out instantly.

Mingyou worked in a welfare institution in her last life and has basic life skills. She doesn't have to be very good at cooking, as long as she can make the children like to eat.

He really likes children, and feels that if he works in a nursery, he should be able to take good care of the Pokémon babies there.

It's a pity that he doesn't have a Pokémon now. It would be great if he could have a Pokémon as a companion. Mingyu imagined this in his mind...
