Early the next morning, it was bright and sunny, shining into the house through the windows.
The cloth dog on the bed rubbed his eyes, and when he saw that it was getting late, he immediately woke up.
It turned its head and saw that Naoshu was still sleeping, so it crawled onto his chest: "Bamo~"
"Well..." Naoki opened his eyes in a daze, saw the cloth on his chest, and hugged it in his arms.
"Bamo!" Bu Tubo exclaimed.
At this time, the old-fashioned wall clock on the wall suddenly rang.
Naoki woke up with a start. He sat up from the bed and realized that it was time to prepare breakfast for the Pokémon.
Naoki got dressed and got up, and the cloth dog also jumped down, running around the room with the Frost Milk Fairy, waiting for the meal.
Naoki walked around them, took out the ingredients from the refrigerator and started cooking.
Today's breakfast is very simple, still sandwiches and moo milk.
After eating, Naoki prepared to milk the goat as usual.
He walked out of the room and outside, looking around the pasture.
Well, the ranch looks prosperous and the weather is nice...huh? What it is? !
Naoki suddenly noticed something huge out of the corner of his eye.
He turned around and saw a watermelon suddenly appearing in the otherwise ordinary farmland.
To be precise, a giant watermelon.
Pokémon such as Olinio, Saltstone, Mount Goat, and Big Milk Tank were all attracted. They were surrounding the super-large watermelon and looking at it curiously.
I saw that the three bees who work the hardest on weekdays did not go to collect honey, but were observing the big watermelon with everyone.
what's the situation? !
Naoki stared at that scene dumbfounded.
His first reaction was that a little fairy visited the ranch last night.
Tinkerbell, a probabilistic event in Stardew Valley.
Whenever night falls, there is a certain chance that the little fairy will appear and help players ripen all the crops in the field.
But then, Naoki realized that this was not the world view of Stardew Valley. There were no fairies or elves.
He stepped forward, came to the field, and observed the huge watermelon up close.
I reached out and patted it, and the watermelon made a crisp sound, which meant that it was completely ripe.
Looking at this watermelon that was taller than him, Naoki couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
"The giant crops were most likely created by riding goats."
After eating the grass cake, there is a certain chance that the crops grown by the mount goat with grass attribute energy will mutate.
At present, it seems that becoming larger is also a kind of mutation.
There's just one question, how did it grow to such a big size overnight?
Naoki quickly brainstormed and checked other crops around him, and found that only this watermelon had changed in the entire field.
First of all, it couldn't be because of the goat, otherwise why other crops didn't mature and only this watermelon matured.
Secondly, it is impossible for Dialga, the God of Time, to accelerate time on this watermelon.
Because he didn't know the God of Time at all, and he didn't have any interaction with Dialga.
The answer to the question is already obvious.
Thinking of this, Naoki turned his head and looked at the empty shrine.
It's King Lei Guan!
He discovered what he was doing, and letting the watermelon ripen early was His reward for him!
The power of King Lei Guan + the energy of the mount goat = giant watermelon.
"Damn it, King Lei Guan really sensed it!"
Naoki was very surprised.
After all, the Padia region and the Galar region are separated by a sea.
But...why did King Lei Guan only help him ripen one watermelon?
Naoki was confused, but at this moment, Kerri's voice suddenly came from not far away.
She stood in front of the ranch and called inside: "Is Naoki here? I'm here to give you a wood carving!"
Hearing the sound, Naoki and all the Pokémon turned to look.
Keri also noticed them at this time, and she looked over here.
The next second, a shocked expression appeared on his face.
Naoki heard her say: "My mother! How can there be such a big watermelon!"
Naoki: "..."
Kelly was shocked by this;
She stepped forward, looked at the watermelon in disbelief, walked around it, and patted it gently with her hand.
"Really big watermelon!"
"Actually, I was shocked too." Naoki said from the side.
Immediately afterwards, Keri opened her eyes wide and asked, as if she had thought of something:
"Is this the power of King Lei Guan you mentioned yesterday?!"
Naoki: "...Uh, maybe?"
King Lei Guan ripened the watermelon, but it was the power of the goat that made the watermelon bigger.
"I didn't expect that the legend turned out to be true!" Keri murmured to herself, and then a beam of light burst out in her eyes: "As expected of the King of Fertility, this is so awesome!"
Looking at Kelly, she had an expression that said, "King Lei Guan is so powerful, I have to believe in him too."
For a moment, Naoki didn't know whether he had taken advantage of Lei Guanwang, or whether Lei Guanwang had taken advantage of him.
Damn it, he really became King Lei Guan’s missionary.
After pondering for a moment, Naoki thought to himself: Just think of it as a reward for borrowing horses from Him in the future! When the time comes, he must ride His big horse fiercely, 135 Snowstorm Horse, 246 Ghost Horse, alternate riding the two horses!
Keri handed over the polished and waxed idol.
Naoki reached out and took it, "respectfully" placed the polished statue into the shrine, and placed two tree fruits in front of the shrine as tribute.
Keri witnessed this scene from the sidelines.
Only then did Naoki have the opportunity to ask, "Why are you here?"
Keri pointed to the big truck outside: "I received a commission to build a mill today. I had to go out. You couldn't find me in the store, so I sent it to you on the way."
So that's it.
Naoki nodded.
The two turned to look at the huge watermelon in the field, and Keri asked, "What are you going to do?"
Naoki thought for a moment, and a good idea suddenly came to his mind.
Since King Lei Guan needs followers, why not just follow the trend and actively promote the legend of King Lei Guan in the Padia region, help him restore his strength and increase his favorability?
While thinking, Naoki organized his words and asked, "What do you think of me holding a [Summer Watermelon Conference]?"
Invite nearby farmers and some acquaintances in the town to come to the ranch to gather together and taste this big watermelon. Anyway, he can't finish it by himself.
At that time, they will definitely be shocked at how such a big watermelon can exist.
Then he can tell everyone the legend of King Lei Guan.
Hearing this, Keri's eyes lit up and she agreed: "That's great! I will definitely come and participate."
"Then it's settled." Zhi Shu smiled and nodded: "Tomorrow! Tomorrow at nine o'clock in the morning, see you at Zhi Shu Ranch."
"No problem." Kelly smiled and nodded: "But I have to go now. I'm looking forward to tomorrow's Watermelon Conference."
After saying that, she said goodbye to Naoki and drove away in the car.
Naoki glanced at the sky and apologized to the people of the Galar region.
From today on, your crowned king belongs to our Padia region!
Naoki didn't feel any psychological pressure at all about this kind of thing that surpassed other regions' mythical beasts.
How can it be considered a tauren thing when two people are in love?
He smiled and touched Gu Ledun's head next to him, and then started busy with today's work.
At the same time, in the Galar region, the crown of snow.
Seeing the happy look of the little believer, King Lei Guan showed an elegant smile.
It's just...why didn't He know that his power could make the watermelon so big?
Looking at the watermelon that was bigger than his two horses, King Lei Guan was filled with puzzlement and confusion.
