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

Fang Gu happily ruffled Fang Xing and Fang Xiaolu's hair, "Come on, let's go home. Your brother will cook you a big meal to treat you properly."

"Of course, and you two little ones too, thank you for your hard work."

Fang Gu picked up Bulbasaur, and Froakie jumped onto Fang Xing's shoulder.

"Ah! My brothers are so mean! I want a Pokémon too!"

The setting sun cast their shadows longer and longer as they disappeared into the pasture amidst their laughter and chatter.

…………

Inside the cabin, Fang Xiaolu was editing a video.

After all, we filmed for nearly five hours straight in the afternoon, and compressing those five hours of video into a short video of less than ten minutes is no easy task.

"Master Mimi, we're sure we can make a video that will make Stardew Valley Ranch go viral, right?"

Fang Xiaolu was sitting at the table, gently touching the head of the Miaomiao puppet with her fingers, a way for her to encourage herself.

"Hey, Little Mimi, are you shedding fur?"

Fang Xiaolu looked at the gray cat fur on the table with a puzzled expression.

In the corner of the room, a gray figure hugged the bed leg, hiding half of his body, and sized up Fang Xiaolu.

"Meow?"

In the kitchen, Fang Gu was rubbing his shoulders. Perhaps it was because he hadn't worked for too long, but as soon as he rested, his whole body ached. All Fang Gu wanted to do now was lie in bed.

But he had already promised his younger siblings.

"Say what you mean and do what you say."

"Let's fry an egg first."

Fang Gu took the eggs out of the plastic bag. He bought them from the fruit and vegetable store in Guyue Bird Town. According to the store manager, Sen Sen, they were free-range eggs supplied by Judy Ranch and were very fresh.

Fang Gu skillfully heated the oil in the wok, then gently tapped the egg on the edge of the counter and tore it apart from the oil directly above the wok.

The egg yolk, enveloped by the egg white, sizzles as it hits the hot oil.

In a few seconds, the fried egg was taking shape. Just then, Fang Gu swiftly flipped the egg over with a spatula.

In less than five minutes, the fried egg was ready.

Fang Gu clapped his hands and heard a "ding" sound.

Congratulations on completing a cooking session! You have earned a "Vibrant Fried Egg" and your Cooking Experience +1.

[Vibrant Fried Egg, Quality D, ...]

Chapter 13 Vibrant Fried Eggs

Congratulations on completing a cooking session! You have earned a "Vibrant Fried Egg" and your Cooking Experience +1.

[Vitality Omelet, Quality D, made from ordinary eggs using simple cooking methods, is rich in protein. After excessive exercise, it can repair damaged muscles and restore vitality to your body.]

[Special Effect: Recovery +1]

Looking at the fried egg in front of him, Fang Gu nodded in satisfaction.

Unexpectedly, my first cooking after inheriting the ranch resulted in a dish with special effects, and the effects were quite practical.

Just like now, after a day of hard work, he only needs to eat one "Energy Fried Egg" to eliminate the soreness in his whole body and restore his energy.

Fang Gu swallowed hard and turned to look behind him.

At this moment, Fang Xiaolu was in her room editing videos, Fang Xing was exercising with his Froakie, and Bulbasaur had disappeared somewhere.

That means he was the only one left in the kitchen.

Fang Gu carefully took out his chopsticks, picked up the fried egg, and put it in his mouth.

How can testing for poison be called stealing food?

Fang Gu chewed lightly a couple of times, and the juice inside the savory fried egg burst on his tongue, spreading throughout his mouth. The salty and savory flavor, combined with the slightly flowing yolk on his tongue, created a unique taste that made Fang Gu unable to resist swallowing.

He immediately felt a warm sensation in his stomach, which then spread to his limbs. The original soreness slowly disappeared, and his body felt as if it had been revived.

Fang Gu smiled; this was simply unbelievable!

If a small, D-quality dish can have such an unparalleled effect, what kind of effect would a higher-quality dish bring?

A hint of anticipation flashed in Fang Gu's eyes, and his gaze toward the many ingredients became fiery. Even the sound of the chopping board seemed like a magnificent symphony.

…………

Outside the cabin, Bulbasaur was secretly observing Froakie and Fangxing, who were undergoing meditation training. This was a special training method taught by Ludicolo, which not only improved mental strength but also relieved physical fatigue.

Bulbasaur hid behind a rock, intently watching Froakie's every move.

It also wanted to receive Fang Gu's praise, so it also needed to learn new skills!

Currently, Bulbasaur only has three moves: Tackle, Croak, and Vine Whip.

In order to solidify its status as the leader, it must learn more and more skills, so it plans to learn from the Froakie Frog, who learns skills at a lightning speed.

However, the naive Bulbasaur didn't realize that although it and Froakie were both Pokémon, they were of different types and from different egg groups. Froakie's path to success was difficult for Bulbasaur to learn from.

But Bulbasaur didn't care about that. Step by step, it tiptoed to Froakie and Fangxing's side. After carefully examining the two, it also followed their example, putting its hands together and sitting cross-legged.

However, due to Bulbasaur's quadrupedal body structure, it cannot sit cross-legged, and even its two front paws can barely touch. It even fell headfirst into the grass because of its unbalanced body.

The tender grass on the grass brushed against its nose, tickling it, but Bulbasaur stubbornly resisted the urge.

Be patient! You must be patient.

Bulbasaur must have thought the same thing.

It wants to earn Fang Gu's praise, and it wants to make Fang Gu proud!

Soon, Bulbasaur felt its nose stop itching, as if it had completely immersed itself in the meadow.

Until the physiological response carried it away from the high walls of the mind.

"Gululu."

An embarrassing sound came from Bulbasaur's belly. After a busy afternoon, and now that it was dark, the energy stored in Bulbasaur's body had long been exhausted.

Bulbasaur's stomach rumbled, its face flushed, and the tranquility in its heart had long since vanished.

It tried to mobilize the energy in its body, but the unchanging feedback left it stunned, followed by a wave of overwhelming grievance.

It didn't learn any new skills, and tears involuntarily welled up in Bulbasaur's eyes.

When it opened its eyes, Fang Gu was squatting there, a gentle smile on his face, waiting for Bulbasaur to finish its meditation.

"Woo!"

Bulbasaur could no longer bear it and threw itself into Fang Gu's arms, bursting into tears.

Fang Gu could only offer gentle words of comfort, stroking Bulbasaur's back with his palm.

At the dinner table, Fang Gu was holding Bulbasaur, skillfully blowing on the food in the spoon to cool it down before gently feeding it to Bulbasaur.

Bulbasaur's face turned bright red as it swallowed the food Fang Gu handed it in one gulp and chewed it happily.

Bulbasaur meditated upside down for almost twenty minutes, its body already paralyzed from the strange posture.

This kind of numbness cannot be cured even by using cherry fruits; one can only wait for the body to slowly recover.

Fang Gu had no choice but to pick up Bulbasaur and feed it himself, not wanting his little hero to go hungry.

However, Bulbasaur's body had already recovered halfway through the meal; it was just pretending that its body was still paralyzed.

This scene, witnessed by the croaking frog, revealed a playful smile in its narrowed eyes.

Didn't she claim to be the boss of Stardew Valley Ranch? Now she looks more like the most spoiled little girl in Stardew Valley Ranch.

Of course, Froakie didn't dare to say it out loud, after all, it's a Water-type Pokémon that's weak to Bulbasaur. If its Vine Whip hits it, it will only hurt, not feel good.

At the dinner table, Fang Xing watched Fang Gu and Bulbasaur exchange a smile, their reflections mirrored in each other's eyes.

Fang Xing's inner voice frowned, then earnestly took out a small notebook and wrote it down.

Feeding Pokémon...can increase...friendship.

Hmm, the theory holds true! Let's put it into practice!

Fang Xing beckoned the frog to sit on his lap, and before the frog could react, he quickly picked up a fried egg and put it into the frog's mouth.

The frog's expression froze for a moment, then it chewed gently twice, its eyes instantly squinting with happiness.

"Quack~"

Delicious! I'll have some more!

Froakie's cheeks were rosy, and it looked at Bulbasaur with a smile.

A family should be together all the time!

Seeing this, Fang Xiaolu, who didn't have any Pokémon, could only feel helpless and angry, and tears were almost streaming down her face.

"My brothers are so mean! I want my own Pokémon too!"

Fang Xiaolu crossed her arms, gave a soft hum, and turned her head away.

Fang Gu and Fang Xing looked at each other and couldn't help but smile.

All of this was observed by a small gray figure hiding in the shadows of the fireplace. It gently covered its mouth with what looked like a white-gloved hand, its purple eyes fixed on Fang Xiaolu, and its head tilted slightly.

"Meow."

Chapter 14 Television: What is your fortune today...?

Stardew Valley Ranch, second day of spring.

Fang Gu, who had gone to bed early after dinner yesterday, woke up early as well, urged on by his biological clock.

Fang Gu opened the window, and a gentle breeze carrying the fragrance of earth wafted towards his nose.

Looking at the well-maintained farmland not far away, Fang Gu felt a little dazed. He was just an ordinary sales champion at the Westfur Company, but suddenly he was living a pastoral life with some adorable Pokémon by his side.

"This is...like a dream."
