The Best Fruit, Shared Together

Chapter 100 Sharing the Best Fruit

[Is that the owner of the Tenji Pavilion upstairs? Oh my god, I love his food so much, it's absolutely divine!]

"I didn't expect the sommelier Tian Tong to be surfing the internet? I remember he's traveling all over the world now and isn't the owner anymore."

[Sourcerer, please give your opinion on me and my Pokémon! This is absolutely a fine brew!]

The comments section was bustling with activity, but most of them were about the person with the ID "Sake Servant Cilan". Xia Ming had heard that he was Ash's partner in the Unova region in the Pokémon anime in his previous life, and also an important figure in Generations 1 and 2 of Pokémon Black and White.

In this world, he seems to be in his twenties. Eight years ago, he and his two brothers stepped down as Gym Leaders of the Trisolarans Gym and entrusted it to a very capable and talented rookie trainer.

However, he is not famous as a gym leader, but as one of the few S-rank Pokémon sommeliers in the world today.

Sommelier is a specialization within Pokémon Trainer. Simply put, they can recommend the most suitable Pokémon for new Trainers and observe the bond between the Pokémon and the Trainer.

How powerful is the S-rank Pokémon Soursboy?

To put it simply, Cilan can tell at a glance the extent of your bond with a Pokémon, and can even recommend the most suitable Pokémon for you based on your lifestyle, including recommending the Pokémon's nature and gender.

The bond level between a trainer and a Pokémon, also known as affinity, is ranked from lowest to highest as follows: Dislike, Stranger, Familiar, Compatible, Trust, Close, and Ace.

But Pokémon bartenders wouldn't use that kind of adjective to describe the bond between Pokémon and their trainers; they would typically use the following industry jargon:

Muddy water, clear wine, fine brews, and divine dishes.

"That's right, this is every farmer's ultimate dream: perfectly grown golden tree fruit!"

Seeing that the prominent comments on the screen had already described the peculiar cranberry in great detail, Xia Ming nodded excitedly.

That's right, under his care, along with Miss Skirt, Lily Root Doll, and the Insect Treasure Bag and Treasure Cocoon, nearly 10,000 cranberry trees on these 30 acres of land actually gave birth to a tree with a perfect appearance!

Xia Ming was also surprised, because at his current level, he could only grow some high-quality fruit trees at best, but there was no price difference between high-quality and ordinary fruit trees; they were just easier to sell.

But it's different for perfectly shaped tree fruits.

In all industries related to food, cultivation, and medicine, perfectly shaped tree fruits, regardless of the type, are always in high demand and are considered top-quality materials.

Because they possess two incredibly powerful functions!

-

First, my absolute love for Pokémon.

Regardless of the Pokémon, anyone who doesn't dislike berries will appreciate perfectly formed berries. Receiving such a gift can visibly increase the bond between a Pokémon and its trainer.

Second, the success rate is absolutely guaranteed.

Nowadays, most berries are used to make Pokémon-related foods, such as Energy Cubes for large Pokémon, fancy foods to increase the cuteness and coolness of fancy Pokémon, and healing sprays, etc.

Unless you do it intentionally, perfectly sized tree fruits will ensure that these items are 100% completed during the crafting process and achieve high-value effects.

The main ingredient in Full Recovery, a top-tier Pokémon medical product, is various high-quality healing berries, such as Orange Berries.

Other items include the Top Energy Cube, Divine Delicacies Baofen, and so on.

Of course, while perfectly grown fruit is precious, what is most precious is the people and land that can grow such fruit!

This is not.

With the appearance of the perfectly shaped fruit, Xia Ming's live stream began to soar like a rocket, attracting a large number of well-known breeders, sommeliers, and even farmers.

Some entrepreneurs and senior trainers who heard the news also came to join in the fun.

Xia Ming's 3,000 pre-sale cranberries at an 80% discount in the live stream were sold out in an instant. The dense barrage of comments made him dizzy, and he couldn't even keep up with all the paid, eye-catching messages.

The bidding for this perfectly shaped fruit tree began to soar in the live stream.

The initial purchase price of 2,000 coins skyrocketed to a full 30,000 Alliance Coins within ten minutes.

This is no longer about buying tree fruits; it's about buying a relationship with Xia Ming!

They all understood that even the most expensive tree fruits wouldn't be that valuable. After all, these were agricultural products that could be mass-produced, costing at most two or three thousand, or five or six thousand Alliance Coins per tree. But Xia Ming, who could grow tree fruits of perfect quality, was truly precious.

If he can grow the first one, he can grow the second and the third!

Meanwhile, many people also began to collect Xia Ming's personal information in a short period of time. After learning that he was a novice farmer who had only planted two rounds of land, many professionals were astonished and put their hands to their heads.

Just like a prominent comment said before.

Xia Ming is incredibly successful! And this piece of land is even more amazing!

Faced with the bidding in the bullet comments, what will Xia Ming choose?

It's often said that Xia Ming is currently in a dilemma because this perfectly shaped tree fruit is his first creation, and it's inevitable that he has a bit of a virginity complex, isn't it?

He wanted to save the joy to share with everyone who had grown this fruit, and he was also reluctant to give up the opportunity to build relationships with so many big names in the live stream.

But soon, Ralts' voice made him stop agonizing over whether to sell or not.

"Nalu~nalu!"

Brother, brother, shall we share this delicious fruit with everyone?

Ralts stood at Xia Ming's feet and gently tugged at his trouser leg with his small hands, which were covered in cranberry juice.

A gentle breeze lifted her mushroom hat just in time, revealing her big, adorable eyes that were gazing at him expectantly.

She called me "brother"! My own sister is craving something sweet!

My heart skipped a beat!

The achievement of cultivating this perfectly sized fruit tree was not solely due to his efforts, but rather the result of the collective efforts of everyone who worked alongside him in the fields during that period.

What kind of logic is it to sell such commemorative fruit?

More valuable than this paltry sum of money is this fruit, which should be used to strengthen the bonds between everyone on the farm!

"I'm sorry everyone, I don't plan to sell this fruit. What can I do? My lovely Xia Qing just had a sweet tooth!"

Xia Ming shook his head apologetically at the live stream camera, then reached out and picked up Ralts, gently touching her face with his muddy fingers: "And Lily Root Doll, Miss Skirt, and Insect Treasure Bag and Treasure Cocoon, without them, I couldn't have grown this fruit."

So I've decided that after I harvest this acre, I'm going to livestream myself sharing these berries with the Pokémon on the farm!

On the screen, along with Xia Ming's loud shout, the comments were all uniformly filled with the word "What a pity".

Then came a barrage of comments praising Xia Ming, especially Tian Tong's eye-catching comment:

[Cilantro's eye-catching comment: What a fine wine! The bond between the farmer and his Pokémon shines like glittering gold dust.]
