I'm in Pokémon, but the system is Stardew Valley.

Page 46

As for the "cream puff pastry" produced by Mianmian Cream Puff, Fang Gu decided to keep it for his own use.

Fang Gu held the superpower crystal up to the sun, and sunlight scattered countless dazzling pink rays on the surface of the crystal.

It's called a superpower crystal, but it's actually more like a pink cat's eye gem, which looks exactly like Meowth's eyes.

"Hopefully, this gem will help me fish out that mysterious delivery Pokémon!"

Fang Gu placed the superpower crystal into the delivery box and then hid in the bushes to the side, secretly watching the direction of the delivery box.

He wanted to see which Pokémon had such a great ability to cross the continent in just one or two days and deliver Friendship Nectar to Celadon City in Kanto.

Time passed slowly, but Fang Gu still couldn't spot a single Pokémon.

The time I agreed to meet Steve was approaching, and I still needed to go to the Secret Garden to pick up two Pokémon.

Fang Gu gritted his teeth and finally decided to get up and leave.

Fang Gu values ​​his promise to Steve more than finding the mysterious Pokémon.

Just a short while after Fang Gu left, a pink Pokémon appeared in the bushes where Fang Gu had just been, covering its little mouth.

The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind.

In fact, it had always been by Fang Gu's side, but it had concealed its form.

"So fun!"

The pink figure grabbed the [Miao Miao's Psychic Crystal] from the delivery box and flew into the sky.

In mid-air, the pink kitten-like sprite transformed, its entire body glowing white, and in the next moment, it turned into a chubby yellow dragon with tiny wings.

Dragonite Mode! Charge!

…………

In the Ancient Moon Bird Forest, Fang Gu arrived at the agreed location five minutes early.

"Strange, I haven't seen Uncle Link today."

Fang Gu looked around, but there were only Pokémon in the forest.

"They're probably on patrol."

"I also want to thank Uncle Link and Electabuzz."

After waiting for about three more minutes, Steve arrived carrying a huge backpack that looked like that of a mountaineer.

"Hey, Fang Gu's here so early!"

"Hoping to find some ore I've never seen before today!!"

Steve's Stone Mine persona came online, and he excitedly said to Fang Gu.

Fang Gu looked at Steve's various professional tools and huge backpack, while he himself only had a small pickaxe.

Is this the professionalism of Stone Maniac?!

Steve pulled Fang Gu into the mine. The mine wasn't dark; instead, it was filled with burning torches, making it as bright as day.

"This is the 0th level of the mine. There are no Pokémon living here, so it's a safe area. If you encounter a Pokémon you can't beat, you can run here directly."

Steve added more fuel to the torch and then handed a rope to Fang Gu.

"This is an escape rope; it allows you to quickly leave the mine."

"When going down into the mine, you must protect your own safety."

Fang Gu pointed to the elevator not far away, "There's actually an elevator here?"

As Steve walked, he replied, "This was left behind by a company that was planning to develop the mine. I had an engineer in Miare repair it."

"This mine has a total of 120 floors, and I have only explored up to about eighty floors so far."

"The further you go on the floor, the stronger the Pokémon become, and there may even be situations where one species dominates an entire floor."

"So after the 20th floor, you need an elevator card to enter."

"If you ever want to go into the mine alone, you'd better ask me for an elevator card, but of course, you'll have to be strong enough."

Steve pressed the button on the elevator, and the lights on the twentieth floor came on.

"Let's stay around the 20th to 30th floors today. There are plenty of copper mines and some iron mines here, and the Pokémon there are only so-so."

Fang Gu gave a soft "hmm," and then the elevator doors closed.

Just after Fang Gu and Steve left, a tall figure came out carrying a rope and holding the unconscious Link in his hand.

He watched the elevator plummet downwards and muttered, "Oh no... oh no!"

Chapter 59, Twenty-One Floor

Fang Gu descended to the twentieth floor along with Steve.

"Ding!"

With a crisp sound, the elevator doors opened.

Following Steve's steps, Fang Gu arrived at a flat area outside, beyond which was a river.

"There's even an underground river in this place!" Fang Gu exclaimed in amazement.

“That’s right. Since you run a ranch, you should be interested in what’s in the water. There are not only Pokémon that are rarely seen in the outside world, but also fish that are rarely seen.”

“I asked Mr. Tru from the town library, and he said it was the unique cave environment that created this unique creature.”

Steve shrugged. He wasn't interested in fishing or anything like that; what really caught his attention was a fish that looked so much like a rock.

After all, stones are a man's romance!

Fang Gu listened to Steve's explanation and nodded slightly. In Stardew Valley, there is also an underground river on the twentieth level of the abandoned mine, where you can catch rare fish such as ghostfish and stonefish.

Further down there are glaciers and lava lakes.

Could it be that this mine has been replicated one-to-one?

What unique effects will those magical and rare fish have in the Pokémon world?

Fang Gu couldn't wait to cast his line right now, but Steve was already urging him to keep going.

"Haste makes waste. At my current fishing level, even if I catch a fish, I might not be able to pull it back."

Compared to the pull-the-bar mini-game in the game, the increase in Fang Gu's fishing level will most likely reduce the resistance of the fish he catches, making it easier for Fang Gu to catch them.

With the help of Magikarp, Fang Gu's fishing level has reached level one, unlocking some of the fishing gear crafting methods.

However, most fishing gear requires both copper and iron ores.

"In the early stages of infrastructure construction, these two types of minerals were indeed the most scarce."

Fang Gu stared at Steve's retreating figure, gritted his teeth, and decided that after this bumper potato harvest, he would spend some money to buy more ore from Steve.

…………

Fang Gu and Steve climbed down a ladder from a concealed place that looked like a mine shaft, and arrived at the twenty-first level of the abandoned mine.

In the dimly lit cave, a few torches were scattered about, giving the entire cave a mysterious feel.

Steve handed Fang Gu a mining helmet with a lamp on it; a flick of the wrist would illuminate the path ahead.

However, the area that can be illuminated is not very large, only seven or eight meters away. Any further away, you have to squint to see what kind of spirits are in the darkness.

"Most of the Pokémon that live here don't like light, and can only tolerate the lamp on the miner's hat at most."

"Also, never look up and shine the light on your head."

Upon hearing this, Fang Gu slightly raised his head, but Steve immediately pressed it down.

Steve pointed upwards, "That's the Zubat population. Although Zubats don't have eyes, some of the higher-level Zubats have evolved into Gastrobats."

Most of these beaked bats with eyes are leaders of supersonic bat groups. Their eyes are accustomed to darkness. Guess what happens when a sudden, intense light source shines into their eyes from below.

That would inevitably lead to being chased and killed by a whole swarm of Zubats and Golbats!

In this situation, only if one person defeats an entire tribe or escapes to the next level can the situation be resolved.

However, apart from floors like the fifth, tenth, fifteenth, etc., which can be directly accessed by elevator, there is more than one entrance to other floors.

Furthermore, due to Pokémon activities, these entrances to the next level can easily be concealed, possibly hidden under a movable stone, which may be behind a wild Pokémon.

Therefore, observation must be maintained.

In short, let's explore this level first; finding the entrance to the next level isn't urgent.

Steve, as a senior, shared his mining experience with Fang Gu in detail.

Fang Gu patted his chest, feeling somewhat relieved.

Indeed, there are many differences between mining in the real world and mining in a game.

Fortunately, he first asked Steve, a fellow countryman, to guide him, which saved him from taking many detours.

Otherwise, Fang Gu's first experience mining might very well have been driven out by the supersonic bats.

Seeing Steve carefully searching for nearby ore, Fang Gu also began to scan the surroundings.

The twenty-first floor doesn't really go deep into the mine, so even if there are some Pokémon there, they don't seem to be very strong.

For example, there's the little fist rock gnawing on the rocks in front of you, and the gopher that occasionally darts out from the hard ground and then disappears again.

There's also a rare touch of greenery in the cave—a potted plant.

This Pokémon looks like a Grass-type Pokémon, but it's actually a Rock-type Pokémon; the potted plant is just a disguise.

Fang Gu touched the Poké Ball at his waist.

What should I do? I'm really looking forward to catching a new Pokémon!

The little fist-shaped rock with its arms looks perfect for gathering work, and the potatoes in the field are almost ripe, so it needs a helper.

According to the encyclopedia, soil turned over by gophers becomes more fertile, which is why farmers love them.

However, gophers also love to eat tree roots, so farmers who raise gophers often plant a row of trees around their fields.

This way, the groundhogs won't eat the crops underground, and the farmers can also plant trees to earn a second income. Why not?

As for a basin...maybe the Fang family just happens to be short of a little decorative piece.
