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

"call--"

Fang Gu sat on the back of his mountain goat. It wasn't as hard as he had imagined. Instead, because the mountain goat's back was covered with grass-like fur, it felt like he was sitting on a soft meadow.

Fang Gu looked at the mountain goat he was riding so close at hand, and his heart pounded with excitement, his hands trembling involuntarily.

This was Fang Gu's first time riding a Pokémon and getting so close to it!

The goat seemed to sense Fang Gu's emotions, turning its head and shaking its horns, signaling Fang Gu to grab it.

"Then I'll leave it to you, my goat mount."

Fang Gu gripped the horns of his riding goat tightly.

The horns of a goat can sense the subtle differences in how the rider holds them, thus reading the rider's emotions.

Fang Gu's high spirits not only excited his mount, the goat, but also made it bleat loudly and raise its front hooves as if in a show of force before running.

The guardian noticed the goat's enthusiasm and a smile crept across his face. "Alright! Let's see who gets to the gym first!"

Fang Xing, sitting behind the guard, suddenly had a bad feeling.

Hey! Don't drag me into such a dangerous battle!

Fang Xiaolu leaned against Fang Gu's chest, excitedly grasping the horns of her riding goat.

"To Come!"

"Mount Goat, let's go!"

Chapter 3 Master Fu

The Biyi Dojo is located on a towering tree on the outskirts of Biyi City.

At this moment, Fang Gu and his sister are climbing a towering tree on the Grass-type Pokémon Goat, with the help of a gym apprentice.

"Wow!"

The goat they rode carried Fang Gu and Fang Xiaolu as they leaped across the trunk of a towering tree.

The perilous angles left Fang Gu sweating profusely and too afraid to move.

"Bah."

The goat leaped up again, its four hooves landing on a slight protrusion on the bark of the tree.

so close.

Fang Gu gritted his teeth. For his mountain goat mount, anything that wasn't at a 90-degree angle, even just a one-degree incline, was a slope!

The slope is just an ordinary foothold.

Upon encountering the "mounted goat," activate automatic resource gathering.

Data collection failed.

Fang Gu gripped the horn of his mountain goat mount, looked at the pop-up notification, and thought to himself.

"Sure enough, it's still the case."

After Fang Gu collected the "Froggy Bubble" from the Froggy Frog, he tried to collect it from the Mr. Mime, but unfortunately, it had the same result as his Goat mount.

It seems that the only way to obtain items is through your own Pokémon or those of your loved ones.

Of course, all of this is just speculation, since his cheat system doesn't offer any beginner's guide.

…………

Thanks to the climbing ability of their mountain goats, Fang Gu and his group climbed the towering tree, which was tens of meters high, in less than ten minutes.

"It's truly spectacular."

Fang Gu stroked the vibrant trunk of the giant tree and gazed at the distant city of Biyi. The vast city of Biyi was like a special piece of a puzzle inlaid on the earth.

Fang Gu heard a notification sound again.

[Automatic harvesting upon contact with an ancient giant tree]

[Insufficient gathering level, gathering failed.]

"A giant tree from ancient times? That's truly incredible."

Fang Gu was already looking forward to what surprises this giant tree would bring him after his gathering level improved.

"vomit!"

Compared to Fang Gu and Fang Xiaolu, Fang Xing looked rather pathetic. Perhaps due to the jolting of his goat mount, his face was now pale and his stomach was churning.

"Brother Fang Xing is really useless, he actually gets dizzy riding a goat."

Fang Xiaolu seized the perfect opportunity to mock her brother and added insult to injury.

Mr. Shouren's eyes were filled with apology.

"I'm sorry, Fang Xing."

"Your feelings were not taken into consideration."

Fang Xing raised his head and forced a smile. "It's alright, Mr. Shouren. This is also a kind of training for me."

"How could a little bump make me stop here?"

Fang Gu gave the guard a reassuring look. Didn't he know his brother well enough?

If this little setback stops Fang Xing, how will he face even stronger enemies after becoming a prosecutor?

You should know that prosecutors have to deal with a series of terrifying criminal organizations, such as Team Rocket in Kanto and Team Plasma in Unova.

"Please proceed to the reception room; Master Fu has been waiting there for quite some time."

An apprentice from the dojo came over and led everyone toward the reception room.

As they walked, the group marveled at the discovery that a botanical garden was hidden atop the tree.

The reception room was actually created by hollowing out a branch of the giant tree to form a small tea room. In the center of the tea room was a small tea table that could seat six people together, and next to it were bookshelves filled with all kinds of books.

Grandpa Fu had been sitting cross-legged by the coffee table for a long time.

"Hurry up and come in, the tea won't taste good if it gets cold."

Fang Gu and his two siblings bowed slightly to Master Fu and sat down cross-legged, each with a cup of tea in front of them.

Fang Gu gently clenched the teacup, which was about half a fist in size. The tea inside was clear and exuded a mellow aroma; it was clearly a fine tea.

"Ouch~ It's so bitter."

Fang Xiaolu subconsciously stuck out her tongue, but then she remembered that Master Fu was sitting right across from her, and her face turned red. She was at a loss for what to do, so she could only smile.

Fang Gu quickly instructed, "Fang Xiaolu, Grandpa said that tea is like a person; only after experiencing the astonishing bitterness can one appreciate its sweetness."

Fang Gu's grandfather also loved drinking tea. He often taught Fang Gu that there were profound truths in tea. Under his influence, Fang Gu also developed a particular fondness for tea.

Upon hearing this, Fang Xing quickly swallowed the tea that had overflowed from his throat.

"Uncle Fu, do you also like to drink tea?"

Fang Gu smiled and tried to change the subject.

Grandpa Fu chuckled, his back hunched. "I like drinking tea, which was taught to me by your grandfather. To be honest, Fang Gu, what you just said really reminded me of your grandfather. Looking closely, there is indeed a common feeling between you two."

Fang Gu quickly responded, and at the same time, he also made a mental note of Master Fu's love for tea.

Taking a sip of tea, Master Fu looked at Fang Gu and his sister, "Still calling me Master Fu? Your grandfather and I are like brothers, both enemies and friends. You should call me that..."

Fang Gu immediately understood, the polite distance disappeared, and he called out to Grandpa Fu, "Grandpa Fu."

Fang Xing followed Fang Gu and called out, while Fang Xiaolu was even more sensible. She stood up and went to Grandpa Fu's side, massaging his shoulders and calling him "Grandpa" repeatedly.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Grandpa Fu beamed with joy, exclaiming "Good!" three times in a row. He never expected that he, Grandpa Fu, would also be blessed by Fang Nan (Fang Gu and his sister's grandfather) to have such adorable grandchildren.

The Fang Gu siblings' performance along the way was observed by the Grass-type Pokémon sent out by Master Fu.

The clever and adorable younger sister, Fang Xiaolu, is born with Pokémon affinity, while the younger brother, Fang Xing, has shown extraordinary personality at a young age. If they are given good training talent, they might really become strong contenders for this tournament's championship.

As for the eldest brother, Fang Gu, he is unassuming but sincere, and his experience as a top salesman, along with his ability to raise his younger siblings on his own, further demonstrates his emphasis on family ties.

Back in the day, Grandpa Fu and Fang Nan almost got into a fight over whose goat milk was of better quality; they were true rivals. Now, half a century later, Fang Nan has entrusted his three adorable grandchildren to him. Grandpa Fu is filled with emotion.

"Fang Nan! Let me enjoy the blessings you never got to experience!"

Feeling the soothing pressure on his shoulders, Grandpa Fu grew to like the children more and more, and his eyes unconsciously revealed a kind expression.

"Getting back to the point." Grandpa Fu cleared his throat and looked at Fang Gu seriously. "Little Gu, are you sure you want to take over your grandfather's Stardew Valley Ranch?"

"That place has been deserted for almost half a century, and the original buildings are long gone."

"Why don't you stay with Grandpa Afu? Grandpa Afu's grass ranch is short-handed."

As the grandson of an old friend, Master Fu would certainly want to nurture Fang Gu well, and it wouldn't be impossible for him to take over the Grass Ranch in the future, since he had long since decided not to leave his ranch to that stupid son.

Fang Gu shook his head, his eyes revealing determination. "Grandpa Afu, I've already made up my mind. Our names were chosen by Grandpa, which proves just how much Grandpa loves that land and that ranch. I want to inherit Grandpa's dream."

"And I believe that in the future, Stardew Valley Ranch will definitely not be inferior to your Grass Ranch!"

"That's the look in your eyes! Your grandfather had the same look in his eyes back then!"

Grandpa Fu tilted his head back and recalled the past, tears welling up in his eyes.

"As you get older, you tend to reminisce about the glorious past," Grandpa Fu said with a hint of apology. "Xiao Gu, you don't have a starter Pokémon yet, right?"

Fang Gu shook his head. He was already an adult and past the age where he could receive a starter Pokémon for free. He originally wanted to borrow Fang Xing's Froakie to catch a Diggerbuck, which was a master at loosening soil.

Grandpa Fu stood up. "Grandpa Fu has already prepared it for you."

“Repairing the ranch is a huge project. Without the help of Pokémon, it would be difficult for one person to do it alone.”

"Come on, I'll take you to see your starter Pokémon."

"Thank you! Grandpa Afu!"

At this moment, Fang Gu also revealed a pure, childlike smile.

He's going to have his own starter Pokémon too!
