Fang Gu quickly put on thick gloves, waited for a while, and then took out the baking tray.
The fist-sized loaf of bread looked golden and shiny, its color resembling waves of wheat swaying in the autumn wind.
"smell good."
Fang Xiaolu, having packed her "spring outing" (mushroom picking) gear, followed the scent and came out of the room.
Their eyes were bright and sparkling, like those of a greedy little kitten.
Fang Gu glanced at Miao Miao, whose eyes were also shining, in Fang Xiaolu's arms.
Pokémon and trainers are practically identical!
Fang Gu stopped releasing heat from the bread, grabbed two plump loaves, and handed them to Fang Xiaolu and Miaomiao.
"Be careful!"
The special effects of these culinary breads only apply to Fang Gu; to others, they are simply delicious bread.
Fang Xiaolu clenched her hands, holding the bread only with her thumb and forefinger, thus minimizing the area of her hand exposed to heat.
"Hoohoo!"
Fang Xiaolu blew on the bread, her eyes filled with longing.
As for the little cat in Fang Xiaolu's arms, in order to avoid getting burned and to eat the fragrant and soft bread as soon as possible, it directly used its superpower.
Meowth's eyes glowed blue, and the bread was brought to its face by a superpower.
Immediately, Meowth used its superpowers again to tear the bread into small pieces and put them into its mouth.
"Meow!" [Delicious!]
A happy expression appeared on Miao Miao's face, and Fang Gu, who was prepared, immediately used his phone to record this beautiful moment.
"Meow!" [Fang Gu secretly took a picture!]
Miao Miao looked furious, her little white gloves on her hips.
They didn't forget to eat some bread.
Miao Miao chewed, showing no sign of anger.
Fang Gu felt completely overwhelmed by how adorable he was.
Fang Gu covered his nose with a tissue and, as if to change the subject, picked up a round piece of bread and stuffed it into his mouth.
In an instant, Fang Gu felt as if he were in paradise.
Taking a bite, the crumbly, porous bread crumbles between Fang Gu's teeth, like falling into the soft feathers of a bluebird. As it bounces back, every fiber is infused with the aroma of wheat.
Simply not too delicious!
[Congratulations, host, for consuming the cooking bread. You have gained 1 cooking experience point and a new recipe – Birthday Cake.]
Ingredients needed: flour, eggs, milk, sugar, butter...
[Birthday cake, Quality A. Made with various ingredients, this birthday cake conveys the highest blessings to the birthday person. Giving it as a birthday gift will significantly increase your favorability with the recipient!]
This is the birthday gift Fang Gu prepared for Foss.
A birthday cake that is about to be made.
Fang Gu has all the basic materials, but he needs to go into the forest to find some wild fruits as garnish.
Fang Gu had heard Uncle Link say that in the Ancient Moon Bird Forest, there were not only tree fruits, but also some wild fruits like oranges and pears.
This wild fruit has a history even earlier than tree fruit, and some scholars even suspect that the very first tree fruit may have been a mutation of a certain fruit.
Just as the ancestor of peaches might be a certain type of peach, the ancestor of mangoes might be a certain type of mango.
These fruits, unlike tree fruits, do not have the same energy-boosting effect.
However, its unique taste and texture still attract a lot of fruit lovers, and due to the issue of fruit production, the price of fruit in the Pokémon world is much higher than that of berries.
Fang Gu had plans to establish a fruit orchard and grove in Stardew Valley Ranch.
"You can't eat anymore, Xiaolu."
"The rest are to be eaten in the woods."
"Ok."
Fang Xiaolu volunteered to pick up the wooden basket containing the bread, and at that moment Fang Xing also changed his clothes and came out of the room.
Accompanying them are Absol and Froakie, these two Pokémon will be the main force in today's lumberjacking.
"Stardew Valley Ranch! Let's go!"
Fang Xiaolu raised her hand high and ran happily toward the Ancient Moon Bird Forest.
Since she had to hold the basket in one hand, Miao Miao had no choice but to let Fang Gu carry her.
Thankfully, Bulbasaur stayed home to grow flowers this time, otherwise that little jealous person would definitely be jealous.
"Ah."
Bulbasaur, who was planting flowers, sneezed and instinctively turned its head, its eyes locking onto a small Pokémon in the grass.
That Pokémon resembled a flower petal, holding a bewitching flower in its hand.
In the eyes of the Pokémon, that Pokémon was extremely beautiful, and Bulbasaur was unknowingly mesmerized.
By the time Bulbasaur came to its senses, the Pokémon had vanished from its sight.
…………
In the Ancient Moon Bird Forest, Fang Xiaolu was humming a song as she squatted down to pick mushrooms under a nearby tree.
"The little girl picking mushrooms..."
Mushrooms tend to grow in shady places like under trees after rain.
In the Pokémon world, most of these mushrooms are edible, with only a small portion being poisonous to humans.
"Xiao Lu, don't go too far."
"Miao Miao, you'd better keep an eye on her!"
Fang Gu gave instructions from a distance, while he directed the giant beaked bats to collect cherries from the nearby cherry trees.
They were very lucky; they found a cherry orchard just a short distance into the Crescent Moon Forest.
Although it's called a grove, there are only about three or four trees.
However, there are more than enough cherries to make the birthday cake.
They met Uncle Link as they entered the forest and gave him some freshly baked bread. However, Uncle Link remarked that such delicious bread should be paired with some fine wine.
"boom!"
It sounded like a tree falling.
…………
On the other side, Fang Xing was directing Absol and Froghead.
"Absol, use the Cleave skill again!"
Absol, the large, grey-blue cat, leaped into the air, its crescent-shaped horn on its forehead glowing white, completely enveloped in Normal-type energy.
A flash of cold light, and the large tree in front of them was chopped in half.
"Let's test the results of your recent training, Froghead!"
With a swift movement, the frog appeared before the tree like a ghost, its slender arms outstretched like bird wings.
"Yan Hui."
A bluish-green light flashed across the frog's body.
Froakie's type has changed from Water to Flying!
Fang Xing's Frog was actually a Frog with a hidden ability.
Froakie's ability is "Change": Pokémon with this ability can change to the same type as the move they used after using it.
Chapter 87 Fruits and Dryers
Aerial Ace, a Flying-type move, mimics the attack posture of swallow-type Pokémon, using agile speed to outmaneuver the opponent before delivering a swift and deadly strike.
This is a new skill that the frog learned to broaden its attack range.
Because it is a skill that does not belong to this attribute.
Even the frog with exceptional talent in skill learning put in a lot of hard work.
It took three days to barely grasp the usage of the swallow's return.
If I had learned "U-Aerial" from Bulbasaur before, would the outcome have been different?
The frog-headed frog resembles a swordsman, looking up with a slightly melancholy expression.
No.
The frog shook its head.
If you lose, you lose. There's nothing to be ashamed of.
But next time...
The frog sheathed its "sword," its eyes sharp.
I, the frog, can't keep losing!
"Shh!"
A white mark instantly appeared in the center of the big tree in front of the frog, and then the frog gently patted it.
The tree slowly fell to the other side, and the cut at the stump was clean; if you put your hand on it, you couldn't even feel any thorns.
…………
"This fruit is called cherry. Remember to be careful when picking it."
Once Robin reinforces the bat cave, the two beaked bats will be able to work from late night to early morning.
