Elf: A bad trainer starts from farming

Chapter 7 The little Kirby steals the offerings
  After inquiring with the residents of the town, Mingyu arrived in front of a small supermarket-sized store called Mozawa, not far from the public hall.

This is the only store in Emerald Town. It has been operating here for decades. The boss has never changed and is called Granny Mozawa by others.

"It feels like a small shop at the entrance of a village..."

This was Mingyu's first impression after seeing the store. There were many Pokémon-shaped masks hanging in the store, and there were several boxes and shelves at the door.

It contains some confetti items used in festival celebrations, as well as Pokémon-shaped toys and ptcg cards. There are children watching and talking here, wanting to buy but afraid of being scolded by their parents.

Walking into it, an old woman with a kind face was sitting on a chair in front doing cross-stitch, and there was a Vulpix lying down next to her.

Hearing his footsteps coming in, Grandma Mozawa pushed up her reading glasses, raised her head, and smiled.

"Oh... I'm a new customer. Do you want to buy something? If you don't find what you want to buy, you can tell me and I will have someone go to the city to stock up in two days to bring it back for you."

"Thank you, let me take a look first."

"no problem."

As she spoke, Grandma Momosawa continued to do cross-stitch. The content was a picture of a half-embroidered wind chime hanging under the eaves blowing in the wind.

Mingyou passed by and started looking for what he wanted to buy on the shelves.

The products here are very miscellaneous. In addition to daily necessities, clothes, shoes, fresh ingredients... and even props such as elf balls and wound medicine are for sale.

Among the various groceries, there was a dusty purple ornament that seemed to have been there for a long time. The shape somewhat resembled a peach with a pair of ears, which matched the name of Momosawa Store quite well.

However, Mingyou's eyes only glanced at him. He didn't want to spend money to buy dolls and go back. He bought the things he needed to buy first.

Soon he came to the shelf where crop seeds were placed. Tomatoes, corns, sweet potatoes, carrots... they were all very common vegetable seeds.

After a while, he found the jicama seeds mixed in, and the information about the seeds was also displayed in his mind.

[Jicama seeds: have a long growth cycle and cannot withstand cold. It is recommended to plant them in March every year]

"Yes, the growth cycle is guaranteed for half a year. Whether there is anything that can reduce the growth cycle is in the world of Pokémon. It should always be..."

Mingyou took a bag of jicama seeds and looked at it carefully. Suddenly, his eyes were attracted by a bag of fertilizer called Susu Fertilizer under the shelf, and he squatted down curiously.

Fertilizer is neither a Pokémon nor a crop, so information cannot be displayed, but you can see the introduction just by turning the bag over.

[After use, the crop growth cycle will be reduced by absorbing sufficient nutrients from the fertilizer, but please note that the same crop can only be used once a week. Excessive absorption of fertilizer will cause crop necrosis]

"Okay, but what about this one?"

He suppressed his surprise and saw several different kinds of instant fertilizers. Then he picked up a bag of more expensive white packaged instant fertilizers next to him and looked at them.

[After use, the fruit tree can absorb sufficient nutrients from the fertilizer to reduce the fruiting time of the fruit tree. However, please note that before the fruit tree fully absorbs the fertilizer nutrients, repeated use will not have any effect and may cause the fruit tree to become sick.]

The two kinds of quick fertilizers are used for different purposes. The former is used for growing vegetables and flowers, and the price is cheaper. The latter is used for fruit trees, and the price is nearly twice that of the former, but the net content is the same.

Mingyou glanced at the bottom of the back of the backpack. The place of origin was Manjin City in the Chengdu region. If his business really started in the future, he might be able to purchase goods from there, and the cost would definitely be much lower.

"Buy a few bags first, and try to see what you can grow with the crops after using the cards, so as not to buy a bunch of them and end up losing money."

He bought several bags of both quick fertilizers and two bags of seeds of several common crops to avoid having to make another trip after getting new cards.

Then I bought some daily necessities such as seasonings, and a few Poke Balls and wound medicine. They were not expensive. I originally wanted to buy snacks... Well, I couldn't help myself in the end and bought a few packs...

When he came to the cashier, Grandma Mozawa also stood up, walked over, and typed on the computer to settle the accounts.

While waiting, Mingyou's attention was suddenly attracted by the masks hanging on the shelves nearby, and he asked: "Mother-in-law, can these masks be sold?"

He thought that the person who brought a gift to Erguichun happened to bring a mask to give to him.

"of course can."

Mother-in-law Momozawa smiled and nodded, then looked aside and continued: "Masks are our traditional culture in the north. Many foreign tourists like to buy masks back home. If your guests want them, I can recommend these three masks to you. .”

As she said that, she took down three masks from the shelf. The masks were very unique in shape, green dog, blue monkey, and pink Kunkun. Each mask also had a little purple on it.

"These are the three treasure companions that used to protect us on our way north hundreds of years ago. Their masks are also very popular among tourists. Let's take a look."         Hmm..."

Mingyu looked at the masks, always feeling that these masks were a bit stupid and not good-looking, but it was definitely impossible to say such a thing in front of Grandma Mozawa.

So he looked at the shelf and saw a green mask with fangs exposed like an evil spirit. Although the shape was a bit scary, he felt it was much more handsome than these three masks, so he reached out and took it.

"Then I want this mask."

"Ghost mask... Why do you young people outside like this? Okay then."

Mother-in-law Momozawa put the masks of the three treasure companions back on the shelf with some regret, and then took out a few plastic bags to help him pack all the things he purchased.

"It's 1875 yuan in total."

"Okay, can I pay with LP here?"

"LP? I seem to have heard these things from young people and tourists coming back from the village recently... But I'm old and I don't understand this."

"OK then."

Mingyou took out his wallet, took out a few large bills and handed them out. When the other party opened the drawer and started looking for change, he suggested with a smile: "Mother-in-law, I suggest you open LP payment in the store, it is much more convenient. No more change."

"Really... Then I'll find time to go and ask the administrator. Take the change."

"Well, thank you."

After collecting the change, he picked up all the plastic bags and left the Taosawa store. There seemed to be nothing to shop for next, so he planned to go back.

Unfortunately, he had some bad luck. The taxi driver happened to go to pick up the customer from the Ghost Mountain, so he could only sit on a stone chair under the shade of a tree nearby and wait.

But at this moment, he suddenly discovered that in the lower right corner of the notice board for registering information, there was a picture of a small Kirby beast with different colors, and a line of words in large black fonts.

[Little Kirby beasts are not allowed to enter the village. If you find any, please notify the administrator as soon as possible to deal with it]

"This little Kirby is..."

Mingyou was stunned for a moment and stepped forward.

Just at this time, a staff member who was changing the content of some notices was here, so he curiously asked about this little Kirby beast.

When the other party saw that he was not from the village, he thought he was a tourist. He immediately became enthusiastic and gave an answer.

"That little Cappy beast is very troublesome. It ran from the wild to the village with the tourists who were visiting everywhere. It slept under the eaves and in the yard every day. It was always begging for food from some tourists. The administrator let Kati go. Even the dogs can’t bite them away.”

"Some time ago, the village held a summer festival in Baoban Square, and a lot of sticky cakes were placed on the altar to commemorate Baoban. Unexpectedly, all the tributes to Baoban were eaten by it that night."

"Early the next morning, some villagers discovered what had happened. The administrator was furious after learning about it, so he summoned many people in the village to drive the little Kirby out of the village and not allow it to enter Green Town again."

"I see……"

Only then did Mingyou realize that the little Kirby had stolen the offerings and was driven away, so he ran around and accidentally ended up in his grandfather's manor.

At this time, the staff continued: "If you are a trainer, you can subdue it and take it away. Although I don't know where it went, it should probably still be wandering around."

"Is there no trainer to conquer it?"

"No, ordinary trainers really can't catch it. This little Kirby can even eat Poké Balls, and it can run very fast. If it hadn't eaten sticky cakes to the point where it couldn't run, it would probably be difficult to kill it. Get out."

"Is that so..."

Mingyou nodded lightly. It seemed that the problem was a bit big, but he did not continue to ask.

The flying taxi has already arrived. Let's go home first and talk to the little Kirby when we get back.
