Chapter 56: Yu Lili’s Grand Gift
Lu Li patted Tropius on the back, then smiled and asked, “How is it? This is our new home. Do you like it?”
Tropius let out a very happy growl and began marking its territory. Tropius pointed to the land near Qingyun Mountain Range, indicating it wanted to use that open area to plant berries in the future.
After landing, Lu Li first went to the villa to check the living supplies.
In fact, the housekeeping company did a great job; the fridge was stocked full of vegetables and meat, so he didn’t need to prepare anything else.
Next, Lu Li released Charmander. Seeing the spacious new home, Charmander was extremely excited too.
Then Lu Li put Wailmer into the pond in the backyard. The pond had great scenery, and the pond water was drawn from the Qingyun Mountain Range behind it.
The pond water looked crystal clear, and most importantly, the pond had some aquatic plants planted in it.
After entering the pond, Wailmer couldn’t help but inspect its new home. The pond’s area was about 700 square meters, which was already quite large for Wailmer.
Even if it evolved into Milotic, the size of this pond would still be suitable.
Most importantly, the pond water was live water, not stagnant like the water in the previous fish tank. Unfortunately, he couldn’t use Spirit Beauty Pill to soak in the water anymore.
After swimming around, Wailmer happily blew a few bubbles and had Lu Li place the water vat next to the pond.
Lu Li had no reason to refuse such a request.
At this time, Tropius, who had flown a circle outside, also returned.
“Trop~”
（Can that area near the mountain range really all be used to plant berries?）
“Of course.” Lu Li nodded confidently.
Earlier, he had asked the decoration company to inquire with Qingfeng City government. Including Golden Chicken Village, the government side could sell the land and was even willing to provide him with an interest-free loan.
For Qingfeng City officials, Golden Chicken Village land basically had no value. If someone was willing to take it over, they were naturally more than happy.
So Lu Li only spent less than 2 million to buy nearly 40 hectares of surrounding land. This price was practically cheaper than giving it away for free; Lu Li even paid the full amount directly.
At this moment, Charmander also ran over and excitedly pointed to the distant Qingyun Mountain Range.
“Char~”
（Are we going on an adventure?）
Lu Li: “…”
The brave Charmander had a great adventurous spirit, but unfortunately, it met a rather steady trainer, so Lu Li unhesitatingly rejected Charmander’s suggestion.
“It’s very dangerous there. Once our strength gets stronger, we’ll go on an adventure.” Lu Li coaxed.
Charmander nodded somewhat dejectedly, thinking it was because its strength was insufficient that Lu Li was unwilling to go adventuring outside. It secretly decided in its heart to train hard and strive to take its trainer on an adventure outside as soon as possible.
For a true trainer, there are two things that are unavoidable: adventure and death.
Many trainers often die during adventures.
Lu Li had always thought this was a method the world used to control population.
The vast majority of trainers choose to travel to get stronger, but the problem is that for this world, the areas humans operate in don’t exceed 1%.
Those undiscovered and undeveloped places contain endless treasures and opportunities.
Every year, trainers set out searching for treasures and opportunities, but every year, quite a few trainers go missing during adventures.
Lu Li set a small goal for himself: before becoming a Gym Level Trainer, avoid wandering outside as much as possible.
“Bidoo~”
A Bidoof’s cry rang out, and Lu Li looked up toward the distance.
In the direction of the setting sun, a huge Bidoof was approaching this way. From its silhouette, it was clear there was also a person on its back.
Soon, the Bidoof landed from the air, and a bright and lively girl jumped down from its back.
Yu Lili, full of joy, praised, “Hahaha, Lu Li, the environment of this place you found is really great.”
“But it’s also very remote.” Lu Li said modestly.
“Right, this is a housewarming congratulatory gift for you.” Yu Lili presented a delicate gift box with both hands.
Looking at the gift box in front of him, Lu Li couldn’t refuse, since she had said it was a housewarming congratulatory gift for him.
After President Lu took the gift box, Yu Lili eagerly urged, “Open it and see quickly.”
Hearing this, Lu Li helplessly opened the gift box.
Inside the gift box was a small bottle containing a single green seed.
Looking at the seed in the bottle and the transparent nutrient solution, Lu Li’s pupils shrank.
Feeling his heartbeat speed up, Lu Li said in disbelief, “This is… a Sand Scale Fruit Seed?”
If berries had distinctions of high and low value, Sand Scale Fruit was absolutely one of the kings among berries.
Berry types can roughly be divided into two kinds. The first is common types, like the ones he bought before, which were common types.
The other is quite rare Rare Berries, such as Sand Scale Fruit.
Sand Scale Fruit has an incredibly powerful effect: it enhances a Pokémon’s talent in speed.
Yes! You didn’t misread it; this thing can enhance a Pokémon’s talent!
In some ways, the value of Sand Scale Fruit is not inferior to those Pokémon Secret Treasures.
“This… this is too valuable, isn’t it?” Lu Li’s first reaction was to refuse.
If Yu Lili had given a Sand Scale Fruit, Lu Li would have been very happy and gratefully accepted it, but the problem was that Yu Lili gave a Sand Scale Fruit Seed.
This was something even Noble Families would be tempted by, and they might even make a move to seize it.
As everyone knows, Sand Scale Fruit has no pit. Getting a Sand Scale Fruit doesn’t mean you can nurture a Sand Scale Fruit Tree, but having a seed is different.
This thing can be inherited down the line. Exaggerating a bit, a single Sand Scale Fruit Tree could even establish a Noble Family.
“Hehe, I heard you’re also very talented as a grower? This thing was a reward the Overlord of Qingyun Secret Realm gave my dad.
Originally, my dad was going to give it to Jin Family, but Jin Family already has a Sand Scale Fruit Tree. Rather than adding flowers to brocade for Jin Family, it’s better to give it to you.” Yu Lili explained.
Lu Li instantly gleaned several pieces of very useful information for himself from these words.
First, Qingyun Secret Realm has a Sand Scale Fruit Tree, and it’s a mother tree capable of producing seeds.
Most importantly, that Sand Scale Fruit Tree’s age is definitely very old, otherwise it couldn’t produce seeds.
The quality of Rare Berries partly depends on the tree’s age, meaning the Sand Scale Fruits produced by the Sand Scale Fruit Tree in Qingyun Secret Realm would definitely be of very high quality.
Secondly, Jin Family also nurtures a Sand Scale Fruit Tree, which means Jin Family definitely has a Master Level berry planter, or at least knows a berry planter willing to help Jin Family.
Lu Li sincerely thanked her, “I’ll accept the seed. I’ll remember this favor in my heart.”
Although Yu Family approached him with an investment mindset, the benefits they gave were real and tangible. Most critically, what they gave was exactly what suited him perfectly.
