I'm in Pokémon, but the system is Stardew Valley.

"When summer comes, we'll build an ice cellar so we can chill watermelons and make shaved ice—all the sweet things you like."

Fang Gu spoke to the cream puff and the worm grass.

"Dah!"

Bulbasaur also stretched out its vines, holding a matcha-flavored ice cream cone, and licking it in small sips.

He would stop every now and then, his body shivering from the cold.

Such an action was hard not to attract the attention of Fang Gu and Mianmian Puff. The two exchanged a smile, making Bulbasaur blush.

"Dah!"

You're not allowed to laugh! This is special training to resist ice-type moves. You don't understand!

Bulbasaur: No, not at all.

"Fang Gu, come here quickly."

"Mrs. Martha has come to see you."

Before Fang Gu returned to his stall, he saw Amy waving at him, urging him to come over quickly.

At Fang Gu's stall, a well-dressed white-haired old woman was pushing an elderly man in a wheelchair, with a small Pokémon wearing a beret beside them.

It was given to Mrs. Martha, who shared the recipe for Fang Gu flower cakes, and her husband Joe.

"Long time no see, Mrs. Martha, Mr. Joe."

Fang Gu strode to the stall, put on a Bulbasaur apron, and smiled at the two elderly people.

"How are you lately?"

As Fang Gu asked the question, he put on gloves and filled a bag with fresh flower cakes.

Before Mrs. Martha could speak, she saw Mr. Joe gently patting his legs, his expression changing from its usual gloomy and dull look to a healthy rosy glow on his cheeks.

"Thanks to your Moo Moo Milk, my legs are getting stronger and stronger, and I think it won't be long before I can go out sketching again."

"Wang~"

The little dog, Smeargle, barked excitedly, waving its paintbrush-like tail in the air.

No, the dog wasn't waving its arms randomly.

It's about imagining yourself with a canvas in front of you, and painting freely.

Joe noticed Tutu's actions and felt a pang of shame in his eyes.

Smeargle is his Pokémon and also his drawing partner. During the days when he was depressed due to injury, Smeargle had no drawings to make and stayed by his side when he was feeling down.

Fang Gu handed a packaged flower cake to Mrs. Martha and looked at Mr. Qiao with a smile, "Mr. Qiao, this is not just thanks to Moo Moo Milk. Don't forget who has been by your side, encouraging you."

There's a saying that goes, "Love can make flesh and blood grow."

"This flower cake is a gift to wish you a speedy recovery. If you have the chance next time, you can come to Stardew Valley Ranch to sketch."

Mrs. Martha took the box of flower cakes, took one out and handed it to Joe, who looked directly into Mrs. Martha's eyes and took Martha's hand.

"Thank you."

This gesture was not only a thank you to Masha for the flower cake, but also a thank you for Masha's long-term companionship.

"We've been married for a long time."

A girlish blush rose on Mrs. Martha's face.

Amy, a girl watching the drama unfold, looked like she'd just fallen in love.

"Hey, you got a share too."

Mrs. Martha also handed Tutu a flower cake.

Let them try it and see how Fang Gu's flower cakes taste!

Masha, Joe, and Tutu put the flower cakes into their mouths together, and in an instant, a strong emotion arose from the bottom of their hearts.

Even Joe couldn't help but shed tears, and his hand holding the flower cake trembled slightly.

"This is the taste! It's just like the flower cakes that Martha and I ate on our first date in the garden!"

"Ah."

Mrs. Martha wiped away her tears. "Yes, that's the taste."

Fang Gu breathed a sigh of relief. It was a great honor for him to gain the approval of Mrs. Martha, who had taught him the recipe.

"The floral fragrance is so strong, and it even seems to have a sweet, pastry-like aroma."

A man dressed in a well-tailored suit, who looked like a gentleman who had come from afar, was drawn by the strong aroma of the flower cakes and walked up to Fang Gu's stall.

"Excuse me, sir, we're selling some snacks made with our own ingredients here, including fries, flower cakes, and hash browns..."

Seeing that customers had arrived, Amy busied herself attracting them.

At the Starlight Restaurant stall, Lance looked puzzled. He seemed to remember Amy being one of his employees.

"Then please give me the next flower cake."

The gentleman took the flower cake from Fang Gu and gently tasted it with his fingers.

"Um--"

The gentleman ate the flower cake bite by bite, waited a while, closed his eyes, and muttered his comments on the flower cake.

"The aroma is rich...the crust is crispy..."

"This is the best flower cake I've ever eaten."

The gentleman exclaimed in admiration, then took out a business card from inside his clothes and handed it to Fang Gu.

"I am a food connoisseur. This is my business card. Recently, Biyi City is holding a dessert competition. I wonder if you would like to participate."

Fang Gu looked at the name tag the gentleman handed him, which read the gentleman's name: Mr. Bruce.

"Mr. Bruce, why would you want to invite me to participate in the dessert competition?"

Mr. Bruce picked up the flower cake in his hand, a knowing smile on his face. "Isn't this enough?"

Chapter 177 The Matter of Cotton Puff Wanting to Evolve

Earlier today, Mr. Bruce landed at the airport in Biewing City.

As the organizer and judge of the upcoming dessert competition, he arrived in Biyi City early to prepare for the event.

But as soon as he landed, he heard some bad news.

One of the contestants who was supposed to participate in the dessert competition was unable to attend due to scheduling conflicts.

The dessert competition, originally planned for 30 participants, now has only 29 people left to compete.

With less than a week until the start of the game, where is Bruce going to find the last person?

Bruce contacted all his contacts in the food industry, but either their schedules clashed or they explicitly declined.

Bruce understood, after all, desserts are only a tiny, insignificant part of the entire culinary arts category.

But this dessert competition is related to a huge project for his future, and Bruce wants to make the competition as perfect as possible.

With no other options, Bruce had to go out for a walk to clear his head.

Just then, he saw an Easter event being held in a small town near Biyi City, and thought he would join in the festivities to liven things up and relieve his anxious mood.

Unexpectedly, they ran into Fang Gu.

An ordinary person who can save a dessert competition!

"Great! Fang Gu, hurry up and agree!" Amy patted Fang Gu on the shoulder excitedly.

Even Uncle Lance, who was standing nearby, came over upon hearing the commotion and tried to persuade Fang Gu.

This competition is quite prestigious in the Carlos region and can be a major draw for dessert shops.

Seeing everyone around him trying to persuade Fang Gu, Bruce's heart was screaming, "Say yes! Say yes now!"

Bruce clearly sees Fang Gu as the last straw that will allow the dessert competition to be held perfectly.

Now he needs to find a way to capture Fang Gu.

Fang Gu's attitude toward this dessert competition seems to be that she can participate or not.

After all, his main job was as an ordinary rancher.

What if this dessert competition takes too long and interferes with his care of the crops and Pokémon at Stardew Valley Ranch?

Fang Gu hesitated for a moment, then asked Mr. Bruce, "I'd like to ask, when is this competition?"

"Because don't let my appearance fool you, I'm actually a rancher. Cooking is just a hobby for me. Besides, there are many things to do on the ranch every day, and if it takes a long time, I might not be able to participate."

Fang Gu smiled apologetically at Mr. Bruce.

Bruce quickly waved his hand, "Our competition is very simple. The judges will directly comment on the desserts made by the thirty people, then give scores, and rank them according to the scores."

Bruce looked at the cream puff on Fang Gu's shoulder and had an idea. He clapped his hands and said.

“Each of our contestants will also receive a serving of whipped cream, and the top three contestants will receive an even higher quality whipped cream.”

Upon hearing the word "cream," Mianmian Cream Puff's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but draw a circle in the air with her little tongue.

This cream sounds incredibly delicious just from its name!

"Is it the foamy cream that can transform the cream puff into the chubby sweetie?" A hint of surprise appeared on Fang Gu's face.

He had been collecting foamed cream at the market in Biyi City for so long without any news, but unexpectedly it appeared in front of him today.

Bruce looked at Fang Gu's reaction with a smile in his eyes and nodded.

Foamed cream, a soft and fluffy cream with a slightly sweet taste, is the evolutionary tool of cream puffs.

If a cream puff carries foamy cream and generates a special magnetic field through a Pokémon Switch, it can evolve into Smoothie.

So now, an opportunity is presented to Mianmian Cream Puff.

It can evolve into Fat Sweetie.

Once it evolves into Fat Sweetie, it will have a pair of hands that can grasp things, and then it will be able to help Fang Gu more!
