He patted his stomach. If Fang Gu's account could really attract some people, then he would be able to hear more different stories.
However, Lance doesn't have high hopes for attracting many people. After all, he tried posting videos on Douyin (TikTok) to promote Martian food, but after more than a year, his number of followers is still only a few hundred.
After Fang Gu and Lance finished recording the video together, Lance asked curiously, "Can you tell me what your account name is? I'd like to follow you too."
At that moment, Peter also took out his phone, ready to search.
Fang Gu pointed to the sign of his own ranch, "It's Stardew Valley Ranch, it should be the first result found in the search."
Peter's internet speed was slightly faster than Lance's, and he quickly saw the numbers above.
Peter rubbed his eyes in disbelief and exclaimed, "Almost 400,000 followers?"
Fang Gu nodded. He thought that after the video of the earthworm potato cake was released, he might see another surge in the number of fans.
It just feels like the current size of the ranch doesn't match the number of fans.
"How much? Four hundred thousand?!"
Lance's voice suddenly rose, as if he was being overwhelmed by happiness.
An ad from a blogger with 400,000 followers is no small sum, and Fang Gu is essentially giving himself free publicity.
Lance looked at Fang Gu as if he were looking at a benefactor. If Fang Gu were to ask Lance to go through fire and water now...
I guess they still won't do it.
However, closing down the business to prepare a big meal for Fanggu is definitely an option.
"Next time, just treat me to a nice meal at Starlight Restaurant." Fang Gu patted Lance on the shoulder.
Little Lance, when you're frantically frying hash browns in the kitchen, you probably won't be laughing anymore.
Fang Gu sighed for Lance, preparing to stuff a few giant potatoes into the potatoes he sold him, hoping that this might actually give the diner's Pokémon a chance to learn ground moves.
However, word will spread quickly, and eventually, the Starlight Restaurant in Lance will be packed with people who come specifically to visit it.
It's terrifying to even think about.
"By the way, would you like some milk?"
Fang Gu took out two bottles of Moo Moo Milk and handed them to the two of them.
The two of them were a bit thirsty after talking so much on their way here.
Peter picked up the milk and began to drink it heartily. After finishing, he said to Fang Gu, "Moo Moo Milk, Rancher Fang really went to great lengths."
Fang Gu smiled but didn't say anything.
Lance sensed something was off after opening the bottle and took a sip of Moo Moo Milk.
He then looked at Fang Gu in surprise: "This is fresh Moo Moo milk! Does your ranch even have large milk tanks?!"
Chapter 125 Light of Evolution
Lance is not a native of Guyue Bird Town. It seems that he stayed after traveling and being captivated by the people and scenery of Guyue Bird Town.
As for his hometown, Fang Gu didn't know.
But the fact that it tastes fresh Moo Moo milk suggests that the Milk Jar elves are not uncommon in Lance's hometown.
Of course, this is inseparable from Lance's top-notch ability to identify ingredients as a chef.
“Milky Tank, this Pokémon is very rare in the Kalos region, and none of the ranches around here keep one. You’re quite lucky.”
Peter, a businessman, exclaimed in admiration.
This means that Moo Moo milk produced by Stardew Valley Ranch in Fanggu has a huge market.
If Fang Gu could put Moo Moo Fresh Milk on consignment in his store.
Peter gasped. What a fortune that would be!
Peter grasped Fang Gu's hand. "If you have any extra fresh milk to sell, please put it at the grocery store. I'll give you an irresistible price!"
Lance stepped forward, scratching his cheek, his imposing manner slightly weaker than Peter's: "Actually, our Starlight Restaurant also needs a certain supply of Moo Moo Milk. Moo Moo Milk is simply the perfect partner for hash browns!"
Lance couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
Fang Gu smiled upon seeing this.
"That's easy. However, our large milk tanks have just arrived at the ranch, and the milk production is not high yet. So once the milk production increases, we will definitely sell the extra Moo Moo fresh milk to you."
"Then it's settled!"
With a serious expression on his face, Peter turned around and began to weigh the potatoes.
Fang Gu's face lit up with joy. Now, without leaving home, he could sell Moo Moo milk using Lance's restaurant and Peter's connections.
For Fang Gu, it's incredibly comfortable to simply get along with Pokémon without having to deal with complicated interpersonal relationships.
Fang Gu and Lance helped carry basket after basket of potatoes to the weighing machine to be weighed.
Half an hour later, the three of them finally finished counting. Peter picked up his notebook and drew a final number.
“You have 3,000 jin of potatoes to sell here. According to the current market price, the price of potatoes is 80 Alliance Coins per jin. I will settle the bill for you at 90 Alliance Coins per jin.”
"It's 270,000 Alliance Coins in total. I'll transfer it directly to your card later."
"I thought you merchants would all carry around a wad of cash," Fang Gu joked. In the game, no matter how expensive the items a player sells in a shop, the shopkeeper's payment arrives instantly.
The shopkeeper is known among Stardew Valley players as the town's biggest cash flow driver.
Peter rolled his eyes at Fang Gu and tapped his pen on his notebook: "This is the era of mobile payment."
"By the way, I probably won't be at the general store for the next few days, so you'd better buy what you need in advance."
Fang Gu asked, puzzled, "Why?"
"Isn't it all for some people to go to the city to find a market for their potatoes, and also for your sweet potatoes?"
It is estimated that the female three-necked bees in Fanggu will evolve in the next day or two. At that time, they will gain the ability to use pheromones to command the three-necked bees to collect honey, and they will also be able to tame more three-necked bees.
Then, Fang Gu will be able to reap even more sweetness!
However, once the three bees evolve into the queen bee, Fang Gu may have to pause his sweet harvesting work.
He must go to the city to get the Power Gem skill learning machine, and only after the Bee Queen defeats the Bee Queen outside the Ancient Moon Bird Town can he gain the right to subdue his minions.
The three bees evolve into the queen bee, the Magikarp leaps over the Dragon Gate, fertilizer is made, strawberries are planted, and new facilities are built...
Fang Gu felt a surge of energy as he thought about the work that was about to begin.
After receiving a transfer of 270,000 Alliance Coins from Peter and 30,000 Alliance Coins from Lance, Fang Gu was filled with joy and returned to the farmland.
I'd like to invite everyone to a celebration for this bumper potato harvest.
But as soon as he arrived at the farm, he saw Fang Xiaolu, Riolu, and even Lijia surrounding Bulbasaur, trying to persuade him: "Bulbasaur, stop eating, it's okay."
Fang Gu quickly walked to Bulbasaur's side, looking at the angry little expression on Bulbasaur's face, and even more so, the tears welling up in its eyes.
Even so, Bulbasaur still used its vines to grab the Earth Dragon Potato Cake and stuff it into its mouth.
"What happened?" Fang Gu's voice was anxious, and his tone unconsciously became a few degrees heavier.
Lijia, with her Vileplume in tow, pulled Fang Gu to a place where Bulbasaur couldn't hear her and explained to him, "Bulbasaur seems to have seen other Pokémon learn new moves after eating potato cakes, but after happily eating one, it didn't learn any new moves."
"It seems worried about affecting its place in your heart, so it's eating hash browns like crazy, trying to learn a skill to make you happy."
Fang Gu was both amused and exasperated; this Bulbasaur was really something.
If you eat earthworm potato cakes but don't learn the skill, eating more of them probably won't help.
Because Bulbasaur cannot learn ground-based moves at all, and it doesn't even learn ground-based moves during its Ivysaur stage.
Only after evolving into Venusaur can it learn ground-based moves such as Stomp, Stomp, and Earthquake.
Fang Gu reluctantly stepped forward and took out a handkerchief from his small bag.
“Da na…”
Bulbasaur lowered its head, thinking that Fang Gu would criticize it.
But the next second, a gentle voice rang out, "You child, you don't eat like a lady at all, you've got food all over your mouth."
Fang Gu gently wiped the crumbs from Bulbasaur's mouth with a handkerchief.
"Even the most delicious food is bad for your health if you eat too much of it."
Fang Gu gently tapped Bulbasaur's head with his finger, "What a complete idiot."
“Da na…”
Bulbasaur seemed to be explaining something, but Fang Gu didn't listen. He simply picked up Bulbasaur slowly.
"You don't need to prove anything to me by learning any skills. I know that the appearance of new Pokémon always makes you feel threatened."
"But I want to say that you will always hold a special place in my heart."
"If you learn a skill by hurting yourself, I probably won't be happy either."
"Happiness should be about sharing your joy with others, not about building your happiness on the suffering of others; that would be insincere."
True happiness should be like the day you picked a yellow daffodil and gave it to me. You were happy to give me your love, and I was also happy to understand you better.
"This is the best state, you know? Bulbasaur."
"Dah!"
Bulbasaur let out a soft cry, followed by a "crack" as the Everstone on Bulbasaur's chest broke.
Its body began to emit a strange light!
It is the light of evolution!
Chapter 126 Bulbasaur, the Power of the Earth!
"Bulbasaur, is it about to evolve?"
Fang Xiaolu exclaimed in surprise, and unconsciously tightened her grip on Miao Miao.
Fang Gu gave a soft "hmm," his eyes fixed on the evolving Bulbasaur. He gripped his pants and tugged at them, looking quite nervous.
Putting aside the previous experience of Bulbasaur's incorrect evolution,
