According to the system description, if the [Overflowing Juice] trait is equipped to farm Pokémon, it will increase the power of their healing moves to varying degrees.
There are many types of healing moves, common ones being Recover, Heal Pulse, and Milk Drink.
However, based on Hakuya's observations, besides enhancing a Pokémon's combat strength, traits also seemed to affect their physical condition accordingly.
For example, after Gardevoir equipped [Fairy Body], her attempts to seduce the Trainer became almost foolproof; when Lopunny equipped [Delicate Body], her skin felt even smoother and more supple to the touch.
Based on this, if he equipped this trait to the herd of Miltank, their milk production and quality would likely see a significant boost.
Should I give it a try?
After some thought, he felt this idea was quite feasible.
"System, equip the [Overflowing Juice] traits."
Hakuya looked at the herd of Miltank and spoke in his mind.
Since he had 14 traits, excluding the highest-level purple one, he selected 13 Miltank that appeared physically sturdier to receive the equipment.
As the white glow surged into them, the Miltank, who were leisurely grazing, suddenly felt a sharp swelling in their chests.
Then, accompanied by a series of rising moos, every Miltank equipped with the [Overflowing Juice] trait collapsed to the ground, looking like balloons that were about to burst.
[Farm Upgrade Task 3: Under your careful tending, the Miltank have become increasingly plump. Please prepare large buckets to collect the milk they offer you!]
[Task Reward: Normal Gem (Purple)]
[Normal Gem (Purple): When absorbed by a Pokémon, it increases the power of its Normal-type moves.]
"Wait a second."
Seeing this scene, Hakuya's heart skipped a beat.
He rushed to the wooden shed by the pasture and brought out several large milk pails.
These were items left behind by his grandfather; he hadn't expected them to be useful so soon.
On the pasture, the Miltank were trembling violently, their heavy udders taut like full moons.
First, a few streams of milk sprayed out in fan shapes, and in an instant, they turned into milky-white fountains.
Amidst their long moos, the crisscrossing pillars of milk wove a net in mid-air, shattering the morning sunlight into golden flakes.
The effect is... a bit too good...
Hakuya, nearly drenched in a rain of milk, put down the pails and marveled.
But he quickly snapped out of it and rushed forward with a bucket to catch the flow.
One or two would be fine, but with over a dozen spraying at once, they might flood the entire pasture!
"Gardevoir, Lopunny! Come help your Master!"
A few minutes later.
By the time Miss Gardevoir arrived via Teleport through their telepathic link, the Trainer was already carrying heavy milk pails, looking completely overwhelmed.
"Gar~"
"Chururu~"
She and Lopunny were stunned for a moment by the sight before Hakuya pulled them into the milking frenzy.
Normally, a farmer has a specific manual technique for milking Miltank.
However, it wasn't necessary now.
Due to the influence of [Overflowing Juice], Hakuya and the girls only had to hold the buckets in front of the mooing Miltank and wait for the fresh milk to erupt.
Gurgle, gurgle—
As time passed, the erupting milk crashed into the bottom of the wooden pails with a rhythmic thud, the cream-like liquid flowing warm and swirling into milky whirlpools.
"Gar~"
As the midday sun began to dip, Gardevoir, who had been busy for hours, let out a sigh of relief.
[Farm Upgrade Task 3 Complete: Helped milk the Miltank for the first time]
[Task Reward: Normal Gem (Purple)]
[Note: Please continue building the farm. After completing two more tasks, the farm level can be upgraded.]
Pails of steaming, bubbling fresh milk were lined up, and the Great Milking Operation finally came to an end.
"Good job, everyone—"
Hakuya rubbed the heads of the two Pokémon with a smile, praising them.
Without the help of Gardevoir and Lopunny, he could never have handled that situation alone.
"Chururu~"
Lopunny's ears were rubbed, making her face turn red as she shyly lowered her head.
Gardevoir was her usual self, her pink tongue lightly licking her jade lips, her face full of desire as she already began thinking about what reward she should ask from her strong Trainer tonight.
"Moo~"
Nearby, the Miltank squinted their eyes happily, lying leisurely on the soft grass.
Because the milking took so long, the plan to go to Hiyori Forest to collect silk was postponed.
But on the bright side, it was a bountiful harvest.
Looking at the buckets of fresh milk neatly arranged, Hakuya dipped a finger in out of curiosity to taste it.
It was sweet as dew, followed by a faint, natural milky scent.
Compared to that cow-girl loli, even with the [Overflowing Juice] trait, the taste of the milk from these ordinary Miltank couldn't even come close.
Thinking of this, Hakuya instantly lost interest in the Moomoo Milk sold on the market.
Clearly, the milk provided by the Shiny Miltank at home was the most authentic!
As dusk approached, the familiar honk of Yoshino's truck sounded outside the farm.
Beep beep beep—
The stubbled burly man pushed open the door and jumped down.
"Long time no see, Uncle Yoshino."
"You did all this? That's too fast! It's only been two or three days?!"
Yoshino had barely finished greeting him before he was shocked by the farm's transformation.
In the vast fields, the sprouts of Wang-Wang Grain and Roll-Roll Beans had burst through the soil, dots of green looking like countless bright stars in the night sky.
The planted herbs and the sizable mushrooms in the forest clearings all showcased the farm's prosperity.
Hakuya simply smiled and nodded.
"You flatter me. It's all thanks to the hard work of my Pokémon."
"Do you have any goods for sale today?"
Suppressing his shock, Yoshino looked at the young farmer and asked.
In a short while, he saw pail after pail of fragrant milk being brought over by telekinesis.
"Is this... Moomoo Milk?"
Yoshino looked closer and was once again surprised.
He didn't expect that besides growing crops, this farmer was also raising a herd of Miltank.
"Hmm... the quality is extremely high!"
Uncle Yoshino dipped a finger in a pail and tasted it, letting out an exclamation of wonder.
He had visited many farms and bought fresh milk from many Miltank, but he had never encountered such high-quality Moomoo Milk.
Generally, milk from ordinary Miltank is somewhat cloudy, lacking concentration, and often leaves a heavy gamey aftertaste.
Thus, it usually needs to be sent to a factory for secondary processing before it can be sold.
But the milk before him was the opposite.
The color was pure and flawless, the taste rich and sweet.
In fact, he was certain that even without processing, it was several times better than the best-selling Moomoo Milk in the League!
