Chapter 149: He Really, I Cry to Death (5k)

By the time Naoki finished his work at the ranch, it was close to noon.

I have to say that there is such a large watermelon in the pasture, which is really eye-catching.

Before making lunch, Naoki went to the field again and circled around the big watermelon, sometimes stopping to observe, sometimes reaching out and patting it.

[Giant Watermelon: A type of giant crop that is influenced by the grassy energy of the mounted goat, combined with some mysterious power.] ]

Looking at the description of this watermelon, combined with what happened yesterday, the owner of "some mysterious power" is already obvious.

After a moment of contemplation, Naoki returned indoors to start making lunch.

Today's lunch is still fried steak and sandwiches, plus lucky pudding, honey lemonade, small bread, tree fruit, and a hearty lunch is ready.

Although monotonous, it is a favorite of several Pokémon.

The fried oil-sparkling thick cut steak is tender and juicy, the sandwich sandwich sandwiched with lettuce, tomatoes and meatloaf is nutritionally balanced, and the ordinary tree fruit can also provide a lot of nutrients for the Pokémon body.

After the meal, drink a glass of honey lemonade, sit in the shadow under the eaves and eat small bread and tree fruits while blowing the wind, and even the tsundere Bing Eevee has a pleasant expression on his face.

So a group of Pokémon such as Ratton, Moto Lizard, Kuailong, Butudi, Ice Eevee, and Frost Milk Fairy each took a glass of lemonade and sat in a row under the eaves from the largest to the smallest.

Looking at their appearance, Naoki smiled and shook his head, then sat down at his desk and began to think about the guests he would invite tomorrow.

First of all, Mayor Thomas, who cares for him, must be invited.

The old man has been helping him since he first arrived, not only that, but also gave him a motorized lizard as an assistant.

Second were the people he knew in town.

Kerry who lives by the forest, Evan the mailer, the Ero family who are the owner of the seed shop, the old man of Happy Ranch and his granddaughter Xiaomei, and Zach who comes to the ranch every day to collect goods.

Finally, there are the owners of nearby farms.

For example, the Eref family in Erife's cherry orchard, Ray from Thundering Ranch, Little Green at Light Green Ranch, Mrs. Polen from Bobby Farm...

Naoki learned the town's way of informing about the festival, wrote a letter to everyone, then called out to Kueyu and put part of it in his little red satchel.

"Whaa Kuryu looked at Naoki as he put his satchel around his neck, puzzled.

Naoki: "Please send these letters to Mr. Eif of Eref's cherry orchard, Mrs. Dontais and Mr. Eero, who live in town." "

Sending letters?

Kuailong nodded, accepted gladly, and then flew towards the town in a light car.

Naoki contacted Evan by phone.

Because he had not been to any other ranch except for Eref's cherry orchard, he didn't know the location, so he simply handed it all over to Evan and asked him to help send it over.

Evan, who was working, rushed over as soon as he received the call.

Naoki handed him the rest of the letter and asked, "Are you free tomorrow morning?" "

"Tomorrow morning?" Evan was a little surprised: "What's wrong?" Do you have anything you want to ask me for help with? "

"Nope." Naoki shook his head: "I just want to invite Ling to the ranch for an event, and tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, I will hold a watermelon eating convention here." "

"Watermelon? Where are the watermelons? "

Hearing this, Ai Wenxin said that the watermelon should have just been planted this season, right?

Although it can be grown in a greenhouse, Naoki Ranch does not seem to have a greenhouse.

Evan turned his head to look around, and the next second, he saw a super huge watermelon in the farmland.

Evan: "!! "

He was shocked: "Is that the watermelon I know?" "

Naoki said amusedly, "How about you take a look?" "

Evan went to see it.

He ran to the farmland, circled the large watermelon twice, reached out and touched it, and saw that the watermelon was still connected to the vine and had not been plucked.

What does this mean?

This shows that this big watermelon is not a model, it is real!

Evan was so shocked in his heart that he turned his head to look at Naoki and exclaimed, "How did you grow it?" "

"You really want to know?" Naoki asked.

"Of course, tell me quickly!" Evan paused, turned his head to look around, and whispered: "I promise not to tell others!" "

"Then come with me!" Naoki led him to the statue of King Reiguan: "All this is a gift from this Pokémon. "

Looking at the Pokémon with a particularly large head in the shrine, Evan couldn't help but ask, "That's... What Pokémon? "

"The king of abundance, the crown of lei." Naoki succinctly introduced the legend of the Lei Guan King to Evan.

Although half of it is the credit of the mounted goat, as long as he feeds the grass cake to Lei Guan Wang in the future, then Lei Guan Wang himself can do it.

After all, it is also a Pokémon with grass attributes.

In Evan's shocked gaze, Naoki added:

"If you grow something in your house, you can believe in the crown of Buddha, or put up an idol to worship Him like me, and He will bless you with a good harvest of what you plant."

Evan swallowed his saliva and nodded, "I see." "There are such powerful Pokémon in this world!

"Where did you buy your idol?" Evan quickly asked.

Decided! He's going to buy one to go home too!

His grandmother was particularly fond of growing things, and there were already many fruit trees and gardens in the yard.

"Uh... I did it myself. Naoki thought for a moment and said, "Maybe after a while, you can buy it in Keri's shop." "

He plans to go back and work with Kerry to see if he can mass-produce the statue of the god of Lei Guanwang, and he will provide the pattern, and Kerry will make the wood carving, then polish and polish it and sell it to nearby farmers.

Evan nodded: "I'll take a look when I turn back!" "

Because he still had work, he didn't stay in the ranch for long, and after receiving the letter from Naoki, Evan turned and left.

He had to deliver the letters to the place before dark.

After he left, Naoki contacted Mayor Thomas by video phone and invited him to come here tomorrow for an event.

Mayor Thomas readily agreed, saying he would be there.

Seeing this, Naoki let go of his heart.

When everything was done, the time came to 4:40 p.m.

Looking at his pasture and the green meadows.

Naoki thought to himself, "Then the only thing that remains is the matter of setting up the site." "

There are not enough tables, chairs and benches at home, and it is impossible for him to let everyone sit on the grass and nibble on watermelons, which is too impolite.

Naoki was worried that he would not be able to raise so many tables and chairs in a short period of time.

At this moment, the sound of trucks moving suddenly came from outside the ranch.

Naoki turned his head and saw Kerry driving his truck to the ranch.

He was followed by Evan, who rode a motorcycle lizard.

Kerry parks the truck in the ranch and directs her strange companion to remove everything from the car.

Naoki stepped forward and was surprised to find that they were all items that had set up the venue for the event.

Tables, chairs, benches, celebration balloons...

Naoki was stunned for a moment, a little puzzled: "This is?" "

Evan walked up to him, put his shoulder on his shoulder, and looked at Kerry, who was directing the monster to move things, and explained with a smile:

"Isn't this your first time hosting an event? Kerry and I thought that you just came here and have no experience and not enough tables, so we came together to help you set up the venue. "

"It really helped!" Naoki was grateful.

Kerry stepped forward with a smile: "I have to charge for these!" "

Naoki: "... How much? "

"Five watermelons!" Kerry stretched out her hand and counted the number of people with her fingers: "One for the two monsters, one for the two builders, and one for me." "

Naoki immediately understood what she meant, and said with a smile: "Okay, make sure it's enough!" "

Kerry: "Then come and help prepare!" "

So Naoki took Gu Raton and the motorcycle lizard forward to carry the table and chairs.

Evan and his motorcycle lizard also stepped forward to help.

Ice Eevee, Frost Milk Fairy, Bu Tu Chu, and Ba Da Butterfly were blowing balloons on the side.

Kerry directs it all.

Everyone and all Pokémon worked together to set up the venue, set up tables, chairs and benches, decorate the ranch with streamers, and hang the blown balloons on the sign of Naoki Ranch.

At five o'clock in the evening, Zach came to collect the goods.

He looked at this scene and was surprised: "Wow, it's really lively!" "

Then, he also saw the super large watermelon.

Zack's reaction differed from Kerry and Evan, and after a brief shock he muttered:

"Such a big watermelon, if it is pulled to the market, how much can it be sold for?"

Evan chuckled and said, "Uncle Zach, a family of three can't eat such a big watermelon!" "

Zach was stunned and agreed, "That's right, too. "

He looked at Naoki and said with a hearty smile: "In that case, then leave me a place tomorrow!" "

"Don't worry!" Naoki nodded.

In the evening, Naoki invites Kerry and Evan to dinner at the ranch.

The three of them took a group of Pokémon to eat a fireworks barbecue under the stars.

After the wine was full, it was completely dark.

Ai Wen looked at the fireflies gathered by the river, and couldn't help but sigh: "Nature is so beautiful!" "

Naoki helped Kuailong rub his bulging belly and said, "You can also come to the countryside to run a ranch." "

Evan shook his head: "Don't say goodbye, I don't have so many Pokémon to help me work with, I'm afraid I'll be tired to death by then." "

Naoki: "It's not that exaggerated, is it?" "

Hearing this, Evan, who was originally lying on the grass because of his support, immediately straightened up, as if he remembered something.

"Seriously, it's the first time I've seen such a fast-growing ranch, it's only been a few months? It's a completely different look here. "

Kerry on the side nodded approvingly: "Do you remember the thunder of the thunder ranch?" "

"I know." Naoki has seen him.

Kerry: "His ranch is about the same as yours now, but it took him almost two years to get to where it is, and it took you less than four months!" "

Naoki thought for a moment and guessed, "Probably because I can capture Pokémon by myself?" "

The mount goats were caught by him, and the salt stone treasure was also brought back from the wild, which not only saved him a lot of money, but also provided him with a very considerable income.

"So say it!" Evan lay down again: "Ordinary people don't have the help of a powerful Pokémon like Gu Ratton, and it is still very time-consuming to run a ranch." "

Naoki understood, and he looked at Gledon, reaching out and touching its head.

After another while, Kerry said, "It's not early, we should go back." "

Naoki got up to see off the two, and as the truck left, silence returned to the ranch.

After a busy day, Naoki also felt a little tired, so he went to bed early to rest, ready to meet tomorrow's event in the best condition.

Following.

Naoki got up early, and after he and the Pokémon finished breakfast, the people who had received the invitation yesterday also rushed to the ranch.

The first to come over was Mayor Thomas.

He specially wore a formal dress today, which shows that he attaches great importance to today's event.

Naoki welcomed the people in, and Mayor Thomas rubbed his eyes in disbelief when he saw the large watermelon.

"O God! I swear, it's the first time I've seen such a big watermelon when I'm this big! "

Naoki smiled and said, "I'll get used to it later." "

He then told Mayor Thomas about today's preparations and invited him to cut the large watermelon.

Mayor Thomas happily agreed.

It was a while before the start of the event, and Naoki had planned to let Mayor Thomas sit and rest for a while.

In addition to watermelon, he also prepared a lot of snacks and snacks.

Lucky pudding, juice milk, honey buns, cream smoothies...

But I didn't expect to be rejected by Mayor Thomas.

Like his own old man, he helps Naoki welcome the townspeople together.

With the arrival of Mayor Thomas, as if some kind of switch had been turned on, people arrived at the ranch in groups of threes and twos.

The old man of Happy Ranch and his granddaughter Xiaomei, seed shop owner Eero and his wife Abby.

Naoki didn't see their daughter Bell, thinking she should be in her room by now touching the fish.

Then there is Thunder from Thunder Ranch, Little Green from Light Green Ranch, and the farmer from a nearby farm.

The Eref family of three in the Eric Cherry Orchard, Evan who rides a motorcycle lizard, Kerry who has strange powers and an old builder, and Zach who is full of muscles and has an inch.

Finally arrived Mrs. Dontais, with a kind face and gray hair, and her husband.

Naoki saw the kind old man carrying a cloth bag in front of him.

Mrs. Don Taisi smiled and handed over the bag of cookies: "This is the small cookie I made this morning, try it?" "

"Trouble you." Naoki smiled and reached out to take it, accepting Mrs. Dontaise's kindness.

This lovely old man always likes to make snacks like small biscuits and snacks to give to Kuailong to take back to the ranch.

Seeing that everyone was almost here, Naoki asked Kuailong and Gu Raton to work together to pick the huge watermelon and carry it to the lawn here.

"Ahhhhhh

"Whoosh~"

The two Pokémon happily agreed, and they flew to the farmland and moved the large watermelon over.

People's eyes couldn't help but be attracted by this big watermelon, and they all stepped forward to surround the big watermelon, with a shocked expression on their faces.

Mrs. Dontais covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Oh my God! It's just incredible! "

Lei of the Thunder Ranch was full of shock: "Good, big watermelon!" How is this grown? "

The old man of Happy Ranch held the hand of his granddaughter Xiaomei, looking at this big watermelon and was speechless.

Xiaomei's eyes were bright, and her heart was full of adoration: "Mr. Naoki is really powerful!" "

Eero couldn't help but tremble, "Is this really the watermelon seeds sold in our store?" "

"Exactly, Mr. Eero." Naoki's voice came from the side.

Everyone looked back at the young man who had grown an incredible large watermelon.

Ray: "How did you do it?" "

Looking at the people with curiosity and shock in their eyes, Naoki felt as if he had become a missionary wearing a robe, holding a Bible in his hand, and saying to everyone, "Believe in our Lord and have eternal life."

Although it was embarrassing, for the sake of those two horses, it was still necessary to continue.

Naoki coughed lightly, and in people's eyes, slowly spoke:

"All this is a gift from the King of Plenty."

"King of Plenty?" As soon as the voice fell, someone immediately answered.

Naoki looked over and found that it was the little green lady of the light green ranch.

He nodded: "The legendary king of abundance, the king of buds, he is the embodiment of abundance. "

Naoki then slowly recounts the legend of King Leiguan, focusing on his ability to make flowers bloom, fertile soil, and harvest crops.

"The Crown is a Pokémon with a loving heart, who can see everything past, present and future, and will bring good luck to those who believe in Him."

No, the more I say it, the more I feel like a god stick... Naoki complained in his heart.

He coughed lightly, and then changed the subject: "Mayor Thomas, start dividing!" "

Before everyone could come to their senses, Mayor Thomas had already walked to the high platform with a smile on his face.

Holding a watermelon knife in his hand, he said while cutting the melon: "Let us thank King Lei Guan for allowing us to eat delicious watermelon this season." "

————

Galar region, crowned snowfield.

Lei Guanwang suddenly found that a warm power welled up in his body.

He was familiar with this feeling, and he had felt it a long, long time ago.

It is the power transformed by humanity's faith in Him.

Feeling that his body gradually warmed up, Lei Guanwang's figure flickered, and then appeared on a white expanse with no end in sight.

Its toes lightly touched the snow, and blue superpower light flashed in its eyes.

Through the distant time and space, he saw a group of human beings gathered together, as if celebrating something, and the surroundings were very lively.

And His little believer, who had been working hard, was standing in front of everyone, proclaiming His existence to them with all his might.

“...... The great King of Plenty. "

"The embodiment of abundance... Pokémon full of loving hearts..."

"Let's thank Lei Guanwang..."

Hearing these words and looking at that scene, Lei Guan Wang was deeply touched in his heart.

This was the first time in a long time that a human had done this for Him.

It is impossible to say that it is not moved.

Lei Guanwang: "I really didn't expect that little believer to be so trusting and lonely." "

He was really too religious.
