After returning to the orphanage, Eddie saw Max holding Daisy in a daze in the yard. Diana sat on her left and Arthor sat on her right. The three of them had the same expression, only Daisy's watery eyes were rolling around.
"Brother Eddie, you're back!" Seeing Eddie walking into the yard, Arthor smiled, stood up, and ran quickly to Eddie.
Eddie took out the two fruits Aunt Sarah gave him and handed them to him: "Here, one for you and one for Diana."
Arthor happily took the fruit and said, "Thank you, Brother Eddie." Then he ran to Diana and handed her one of the fruits.
Diana took the fruit, smiled shyly at Eddie, and whispered, "Thank you."
Max said helplessly: "Brother Eddie, you can just eat it yourself, why give it to them!"
Eddie said indifferently: "It doesn't matter, I don't like eating fruit."
However, Max didn't believe it. She thought that Brother Eddie must have been reluctant to eat it and brought it back specially for Diana and Arthor.
"There are only two, so you won't get any this time. I'll bring them to you next time when I have the chance." Seeing Max's look of disbelief, Eddie said helplessly.
"I don't want it." Max said stubbornly, "Brother Eddie, keep it for yourself."
Arthor wiped the fruit, took a bite, and said with an exaggerated expression: "Wow! It's delicious! It's the most delicious fruit I've ever eaten!"
"Hahaha..."
Everyone burst into laughter at his funny appearance, even Daisy started laughing.
After sending the children away, Eddie returned to his room to process the seeds. He did not plant the seeds immediately, but chose to use the golden finger to comb the energy in the seeds first.
Although the seeds have not yet sprouted, as long as they are still alive, they also have an energy diagram for storing energy inside. The only difference is that the seed energy diagram is smaller than that of a tree, and the energy stored inside is also thinner.
What Eddie needs to do is to ensure that the energy diagrams can allow the energy stored in them to flow smoothly.
The energy diagram of the fruit tree and the energy circuit of Pokémon are, to some extent, the same as Eddie's impression of the warrior meridians in martial arts novels. Not all warrior meridians are unobstructed. If they are blocked, the warrior must take the initiative to open them up.
For example, after a warrior suddenly opens up his Ren and Du meridians, his training speed suddenly increases, and he becomes an unrivaled master in a short time.
Eddie feels that fruit trees and Pokémon are the same, except that they do not have the ability to clear the energy diagrams and energy circuits independently, so Eddie needs to use the golden finger to help them.
What Eddie needs to do now is to help the seeds clear the blocked parts in the energy diagram.
He didn't know whether this could increase the germination and survival rates of the seeds, but this was an experiment. He would know whether it would work or not after trying it.
Because the energy diagram inside the seed is more miniature, Eddie needs to be extremely careful when operating it, and he consumes more energy than usual.
By the time he had cleared all the seeds, he was already sweating profusely.
After doing all this, Eddie still didn't plant the seeds. He found a jar, put the seeds in it, and then poured clean water into it so that the seeds were completely soaked in it.
He soaked the seeds for several days until their shells softened, and then he planted them one by one.
During this period, Eddie followed Director Eleanor to the vegetable market several times. Every time, he would ask Aunt Sarah for some rotten fruits, then peel out the seeds and take them home.
During this period, Eddie focused most of his energy on seed cultivation. Selene's training issues were all monitored by the Fletchinder and the Fletchling. Eddie would only go to their usual training place to help clear their energy circuits.
The Fletchinder and the Fletchling are very responsible working birds. As long as Selene shows the slightest sign of laziness, they will complain to Eddie when he goes to see them, making Selene very resentful.
Because after that, Eddie would preach to Selene for an hour without stopping until the old mother was ashamed of herself.
Your son is working hard for the family at such a young age, but as a mother, you are always lazy. Don't you feel ashamed?
...
Half a month later, the seeds planted by Eddie sprouted one after another, with a survival rate of up to 90%, and each sapling grew very strong.
In addition, the small tree he planted first has now fully survived. It has not only sprouted new branches but has also grown a lot taller.
It turns out that his golden finger really works on fruit trees. To be more precise, it should work on all magical plants with special energy circuits.
In the past half month, Eddie has planted a total of thirty-six saplings.
Looking at the neatly arranged green plants in front of him, he felt his heart burning with joy and a sense of accomplishment arose spontaneously.
With this golden finger, if he engages in the planting industry in the future, wouldn't he be able to easily become a fruit tycoon?
You should know that in the Pokémon world, the demand for Berries is very high. Countless trainers need to use Berries to make Pokémon food, such as energy cubes, Poffins, etc.
In short, this market is very broad and the business is very promising.
(*￣︶￣)Eddie couldn't help laughing out loud as he imagined huge amounts of money flowing into his pocket in the future.
Hehehe~
But he soon came to his senses and realized that fantasy was just fantasy and it would be extremely difficult to realize it.
Moreover, if the golden finger can only help the fruits of the trees survive and promote the growth of the fruit trees, it is totally insufficient and cannot form a competitive advantage at all.
If you want to sell Berries well, you should focus on quality rather than quantity. Otherwise, the fruits you grow can only be sent to the vegetable market like Aunt Sarah.
Only high-quality berries can catch the eyes of trainers, especially high-level trainers!
What Eddie needs to verify now is whether his golden finger can improve the quality of the fruit produced by the fruit trees. If it can, then he will really have a chance to become a fruit tycoon and reach the peak of his life.
But this takes time, and can only be verified when the fruit tree seedlings grow up and bear fruit.
The land behind the Bluebird Orphanage is not big, and the fruit tree seedlings are still small, so there is no problem in planting them here temporarily.
When the fruit trees grow up, if they are still so close to each other, it will greatly affect the fruiting of the trees.
In short, Eddie is facing a lot of problems now.
Just as Eddie was silently planning his future in his mind, Max led Oliver, Diana, and Arthor over, each of them holding a small shovel in their hands.
"Brother Eddie, let's loosen the soil and weed your sapling." Arthor skipped over to Eddie and said.
Eddie rubbed his head and said, "Okay, I'll bother you guys today too!"
Ever since they learned that Eddie was planting fruit trees, the children often came to help. They could loosen the soil, weed, catch insects, and water the trees, which really helped Eddie a lot.
Although Eddie has the soul of an adult, his body is only that of a child after all. It is beyond his ability to take care of more than thirty fruit trees by himself.
Although Max and the others are young, they are very efficient at their work. Even Arthor and Diana, who are only four or five years old, can do their work very well.
Moreover, they never acted on their own. They just did whatever Eddie told them to do. From beginning to end, they never damaged any of the saplings.
Arthor looked at Eddie with admiration and said, "Brother Eddie is amazing. He can actually grow so many fruit trees. In the future, can we eat as many fruits as we want?"
Eddie looked at Arthor's greedy expression and drool, and laughed: "Yes, it has fruit... Arthor eats the first one."
Arthor couldn't help but flatter him: "I knew that Brother Eddie is the best."
"You only know how to eat!" Oliver on the side patted Arthor on the butt, causing Arthor to make faces at him continuously.
After playing for a while, everyone started to work enthusiastically.
When the sun was about to set, Eddie said hello to the children and went to the grove on the hillside.
When he got there, Selene was fighting fiercely with the Fletchinder and the Fletchling.
Now facing the simultaneous siege of more than a dozen Fletchinder and Fletchling, Selene is no longer in the panic she had before. She can maneuver between attack and defense with ease, and can shoot down a Fletchinder or a Fletchling from time to time.
I have to say that high-intensity training is very useful. It is really not easy for a weakling like Selene to be trained into a heroic female warrior.
Seeing Eddie coming, the Fletchinder and the Fletchling knew that today's training was over, so they consciously stopped attacking, and then landed beside Eddie in an orderly manner, queuing up for a thorough health check-up.
In the past half month, five more Pokémon have evolved into Fletchinder, which makes Eddie more certain that his golden finger can promote the evolution of Pokémon.
In Eddie's conjecture, the essence of Pokémon evolution is a racial leap, or to put it more clearly, it is the evolution of the energy circuits in the body.
What if a Pokémon is already in its final form? For example, if Eddie continues to use the golden finger on Selene to compress and purify its source energy and clear its energy circuit, will its energy circuit continue to evolve? If so, what will it eventually become?
Unimaginable...
Since Eddie has been using the golden finger frequently, his golden finger has become stronger and stronger. Now he can complete the health care of the Fletchinder and the Fletchling in a very short time.
On the way home, Eddie accidentally saw a small mound of earth on the ground not far away. He quickly whispered and winked at Selene.
The old mother understood what he meant and focused all her mental energy on the small mound of earth. With a scream, a Bunnelby was pulled out of the pile of earth by Selene.
"It's really you!" Seeing Bunnelby, Eddie said with a gloating look on his face, "Haha... I caught you again."
He had heard from Fletchinder and the others before that there were not many Pokémon nearby and only a few fixed ones could be encountered, so when he saw the small mound just now, he wondered if he had encountered the Bunnelby that had deceived him and Selene again.
I didn't expect it to be true!
"hobi~~~"
The Bunnelby looked at Eddie pitifully, trying to get Eddie to let it go again.
"Playing pitiful with me? No way."
Eddie didn't fall for it. He looked around and found a bunch of vines not far away. He walked over, pulled them down, and tied them around the neck of the Bunnelby.
"See if you dare to cheat me again." If Selene's strength had not caused the Bunnelby to be wary, the mother and son would have been buried alive last time.
(o﹏o) No. Bunnelby still pretended to be pitiful, trying to persuade Eddie to let it go.
Eddie did release it.
He put the Bunnelby on the ground. After it ran two steps, it was pulled back by the vines tied around its neck.
Hehe~ I was pretending.
Seeing this, Eddie said to it in a mean way: "I advise you not to try to escape, otherwise if you are caught by me again... hehe..."
Selene cooperated very well and put her own momentum on the Bunnelby. The mother and son had a tacit understanding.
Bunnelby was so scared that it immediately lowered its head.
"Okay, let's go home."
After saying that, he and Selene continued to walk home, and the Bunnelby had no choice but to resign itself to following the mother and son.
After returning home, the children were very surprised to see the Bunnelby. They didn't understand how Eddie could go out and bring back a rabbit.
Eddie said to everyone, "From now on, you don't have to loosen the soil for the fruit trees. Bunnelby will do it, right? Bunnelby..."
Seeing Eddie's threatening eyes, Bunnelby shuddered and nodded quickly.
From then on, the Bunnelby became the second-in-command of Eddie besides the Fletchinder, and he was not paid.
Three months passed in the blink of an eye, and Eddie was still busy training Selene and cultivating fruit trees.
Selene's strength increased steadily and rapidly, but because he no longer had the assistance of the energy blocks, Eddie still felt a little dissatisfied.
The progress on the fruit trees side is going more smoothly. Most of the saplings have grown to be almost as tall as Eddie. From a distance they look lush and green, and you can tell at a glance that they are full of vitality.
That day, Eddie led Bunnelby back and forth between the saplings, seemingly looking for something, because yesterday he accidentally discovered that several saplings had jagged round holes on their leaves, which looked like marks of being gnawed by insects.
"hobi~hobi~"
At this time, the Bunnelby seemed to have discovered something and pointed in a direction and shouted.
Eddie walked over and saw two insects hiding among the leaves on a tree, and they were eating happily.
"Oh my goodness, it's you two!"
Eddie walked over, picked up two little bugs from the leaves, one in each hand.
"Bang~bang~bang~" Let go, let go, help!
"Puff~Puff~" Let me go, let me go!
What Eddie caught were two Scatterbug that were only the size of his palm.
"You two are so brave, you actually dared to come here and eat my fruit tree seedlings!"
