"Boss, don't you understand? There must be enough materials, enough materials, understand? You have to believe me, as long as there is another basket of berries, I can make it. I am almost getting the hang of it."
"It's already, it's almost there." Cao Modi reminded calmly from the side.
However, Hua Jianming didn't listen at all. In order to prevent the fruits from going to waste, he gritted his teeth and asked the Red Lotus Armored Cavalry to bring another basket of fruits.
"I'll believe you again!"
These tree fruits were the ones sold in the trading module when I first acquired the system. Although they were indeed not worth much, I still purchased them one by one from the system every week.
"Boss! I will repay your trust!" Cao Moxuan was so moved that his voice trembled a little, "Try again, indigo berry, corn fruit, algae root fruit, coconut fruit and..."
Another three days passed. During these three days, Hua Jianming's heart kept bleeding, bleeding hard!
"So why is it still like this!"
"This energy block is..."
"This kind of energy block is a more advanced energy block. If you have enough materials, you can also make it." Hua Jianming answered Cao Moxuan without waiting for him to finish, "But why haven't you made it yet?"
"Well, big brother. Should we add some Thousand Fragrance Fruit into this energy block?" Little Han Xin seemed to have mastered some tricks after observing for many days. He felt that the reason for the failure of the production was due to Cao Moxuan's choice of tree fruits.
"What do you mean?" Cao Moxuan instantly became interested.
"I remember my big brother said that these energy cubes were given by Grandpa Wenren. Grandpa Wenren is the king of water, so the energy cubes he gave my big brother should be the ones that water elves like to eat or are suitable for water elves."
"Brother Mo Xuan always makes mistakes when adding the Lingyu fruit in the last step of making energy cubes. I wonder if it would be better if the Lingyu fruit was replaced with Qianxiang fruit?"
"Thousand Fragrance Fruit? What is that?" Cao Moxuan obviously didn't know what Thousand Fragrance Fruit was.
"That is a water-attributed fruit. It contains extremely rich water-attributed energy. Long-term consumption will be of great help to water-type elves."
"Well, we used to make low-quality energy blocks, which didn't require such high-level attribute fruit. But it's generally correct. Although the Lingyu Fruit is a fruit that can remove sleep state, it is indeed a fruit with water attribute." Cao Moxuan explained weakly.
Soon, little Han Xin came in picking some Qianxiang fruits.
Cao Moxuan repeated the previous operation, and when he reached the last step, he gave up his previous choice and slowly put the Thousand Fragrance Fruit into the energy cube making machine.
The pointer rotates rapidly.
"Ding!"
"Fuck, it's really done!"
Cao Moxuan opened the lid, and inside lay a few crystal clear blue energy cubes. Although they seemed to have some flaws and their color was not as good as those of Wenren Xuesong's energy cubes, they were indeed made.
"Boss, I want a raise!"
"Fuck off!"
Chapter 168 About the Energy Cube, Wang Xi's Note
Even Hua Jianming had to admit that Cao Moxuan was really good at making energy cubes. He could "easily" copy this high-level energy cube that even the king-level elves could eat.
After selecting the fruits, put them into the energy block making machine in a certain order, and then wait for a certain period of time to make energy blocks. These are the specific steps for making energy blocks.
Although making energy cubes seems simple, it actually requires a lot of skills.
Just like cooking delicious food, using the same ingredients, there will definitely be a big difference between the taste of the dish cooked by a chef and that cooked by an apprentice. Some dishes even require the chef to use special techniques and special seasonings.
The same is true for the production of energy blocks.
In addition to cultivating relationships with the seed iron balls, Cao Moxuan now stays in the breeding house to make energy blocks every day.
Although Cao Modi did not have the special skills like his younger brother, he had a very rich knowledge reserve and gave lectures to Xiao Han Xin and Xiangnan and Xiangbei every day. (This gave someone the opportunity to be lazy.)
Both brothers were able to have a full meal in the breeding house with their own abilities.
Regarding the energy cube, Hua Jianming specially contacted Wenren Xuesong.
"In fact, it's not that the Alliance is unwilling to vigorously promote energy cubes. Back then, the United Alliance's collection of energy cube information in the Lost Land was the most comprehensive among all alliances. We lack detailed information in this area. Even some of the Alliance's existing energy cube formulas were exchanged from the United Alliance at a certain price." Wenren Xuesong explained.
The Lost Land is the secret place that the New Calendar Dream has been guiding humans to.
"It is difficult to research from low-level formulas to high-level formulas, but I believe it should not be difficult to derive from high-level formulas to low-level formulas, right?" Hua Jianming expressed his doubts.
"Who will derive it? Ordinary people cannot access the formulas of these advanced energy blocks. Those who can access the formulas of advanced energy blocks are masters. Of course, they want to study more advanced formulas, so they don't have time to derive these low-level energy blocks. In fact, some low-level formulas have been derived, but those formulas are also collected in a corner."
"Then doesn't the Alliance have a special department to make these energy cubes?"
"The manufacturing cost of the Energy Cube Maker is not cheap. Moreover, we have not yet mastered the core technology, and some core parts still need to be imported from the United Alliance. And at present, the only way for individuals to obtain the Energy Cube Maker is to exchange it with merit points. No one is willing to exchange it if they can afford it, and those who want to exchange it lack points. You know that points are not easy to get."
"Besides, we don't have a special course to teach how to make energy cubes. The alliance lacks professionals in this area..."
Hua Jianming summarized the information he got from Wenren Xuesong. The alliance lacked formulas, technology, and talents, so energy cubes were not popular in the Chinese Alliance.
However, he also got the most important information, which is that the alliance does not prohibit individuals from making and selling energy cubes.
"Last question, the United Alliance has the most comprehensive collection of data on energy cubes among all alliances. So what is the most special thing that the Chinese Alliance got from the Lost Land?"
"Our Pokémon are the best among all the Pokémon. In terms of practicality, Charizard can fly and carry people, Blastoise can cross the sea, and Venusaur's features may not be so obvious but it is also one of the best. In terms of strength, our Pokémon are also the best among all the Pokémon, and they are not afraid of any Pokémon of the same level."
Hua Jianming thought about it and it seemed to be true.
Although no alliance has yet developed Mega Evolution and Gigantamax, the three Pokémon of the Chinese Alliance are the only three Starter Pokémon that have both the Mega Evolution and Gigantamax abilities.
After getting a satisfactory answer, Hua Jianming intensified his exploitation of Cao Moxuan.
Energy blocks are more advanced than elf rations. Once launched, they will definitely explode the market. Hua Jianming increased Cao Moxuan's workload.
In order to compensate Cao Moxuan, the thoughtful Hua Jianming decided to give Cao Moxuan an extra bowl of rice at every meal.
Looking at the energy block reserves increasing every day, Hua Jianming was very satisfied.
How about having another bowl of rice for the next meal?
What he didn't know was that Cao Moxuan also extremely enjoyed the feeling of being able to do what he liked.
"Where's your boss? Come out here and die!"
A mother and daughter appeared in the breeding house. Seeing their slightly familiar faces, Hua Jianming thought about it for a moment, but for a moment he couldn't remember who they were.
However, he definitely has bad intentions!
Before Hua Jianming could respond, a cold light flashed, and the cold-blooded Gu Jianbao appeared behind the mother and daughter, hunched over and assumed an ambush posture.
"hiss..."
The sarcastic-looking woman seemed to notice something strange and looked back, and was immediately frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.
Fortunately, the ancient sword leopard did not really attack her. She was still frightened but she forced a smile on her face.
"Misunderstandings are all misunderstandings."
Although Gu Jianbao's behavior was inappropriate and made Hua Jianming feel very relieved, he still stopped Gu Jianbao's threatening behavior in time.
"Little leopard!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Jianbao let out a low growl and jumped back to the chandelier overhead, squinting his eyes slightly, his gaze always fixed on this bold guy who dared to speak rudely to Hua Jianming.
The little girl looked about fifteen or sixteen years old. She was wearing a princess dress and was so scared that she hid in her mother's arms for comfort.
The woman wanted to lose her temper, but due to the presence of the ancient sword leopard, she didn't dare to say any nonsense.
"Tell me, what are you doing here today?"
The woman swore that she didn't want to stay even a moment longer.
She got straight to the point and took out the fairy ball from her bag and said, "Boss, I won't waste my time talking to you. I want to return the product and give you this little diamond."
As she spoke, the woman released a little elf from the fairy ball. It was one of the thirteen little diamonds that had been sold by the breeding house.
Hua Jianming carefully observed the information panel and physical condition of the small diamond and found nothing wrong.
"You can give it back to me, but I want to know why there doesn't seem to be any problem with my little diamonds."
"I can only say that a Pokémon like Diamond is too mediocre. It has no outstanding features, cannot evolve again, has no powerful output capabilities, and is not pretty. It is not suitable for my daughter."
The little diamond seemed to realize something, and the woman's words made it look very sad.
The girl in the princess dress looked at her mother with tears in her eyes. It was obvious that she wanted to refute her mother, but she didn't dare to open her mouth.
mediocre?
"You said it can't evolve, doesn't have strong output capabilities, and isn't pretty. I have nothing to say about that, but you said the Diamond is mediocre and that it's not suitable for your daughter. I don't agree with these two points."
Hua Jianming continued, "Pokemon like Diamond are excellent defenders. If they are trained well, they can definitely become the backbone of the team. As for whether it is suitable for your daughter, I think she should decide for herself, instead of you as a mother telling her what to do."
The girl in the princess dress suddenly looked eager after hearing Hua Jianming's words. She hoped that Hua Jianming's words could make her stubborn mother change her mind.
Obviously, she was overthinking it.
"You! Anyway, I must return the small diamonds! If I don't return them, I have plenty of ways to deal with them."
Hearing the woman's harsh words, Hua Jianming returned the alliance coins to her on the spot in exchange for the ownership of the small diamonds.
When the girl in the princess dress saw that the matter was settled, she couldn't stop crying. When she was forcibly pulled away by her mother, she kept looking back, her eyes full of reluctance.
Hua Jianming was busy comforting the tearful Xiao Sui Zuan, and he didn't notice a ball of paper slipping out of the princess's dress.
"Diamond, I'm sorry I didn't help you choose a good trainer."
Little Diamond wiped its tears (although Hua Jianming didn't know how it wiped its tears) and slowly walked to the paper ball.
(Hello, boss of Xianlin Breeding House, my name is Wang Xi, I was Diamondback’s former trainer and also Diamondback’s best friend. Due to my mother’s reasons, I had to return Diamondback to the breeding house, but I still like it very much. If, I mean if it is possible, I hope the boss can give me some time, I will grow up quickly and take Diamondback with my own strength. If it is not possible, please find a good trainer for Diamondback, I will...)
The words at the end were blurred by tears, and Hua Jianming read the note left by Wang Xi for Xiao Sui Zuan...
Chapter 169: The coquettish giant swamp monster, the two happy tribes
The returned small diamonds gave Hua Jianming a different feeling. Many things are not always smooth sailing. When encountering such a buyer, he could not blame anyone except himself as the boss for not being able to judge people.
In August, Chi Baixia returned from Zhoushan to the breeding house and began his own journey of practice.
Swampert has evolved into its final form, Swampert.
Unlike Swampert, Swampert prefers to walk on four legs, and the basic color of its body has also changed to blue. The large fins on its head and tail have also turned black, and its abdomen has turned white.
Perhaps because of the long-term consumption of fruits, Chi Baixia's Swampert is much larger than the ordinary Swampert.
Of course, this general Swampert is mainly official data. After all, Hua Jianming has not seen the second Swampert with his own eyes.
According to official data, Swampert is about 1.5m tall and weighs about 82kg, while Chi Baixia's Swampert is 1.8m tall and weighs an astonishing 100kg.
Comparing with the Pokémon that everyone has access to now, although it is not as big as the naturally huge Gyarados and the terrifying Whale Watch, compared with other Pokémon, Chi Baixia's Swampert is definitely a real behemoth.
