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

Another guy who dislikes the enclosed environment of the elf house is his little sheep mount.

Whether it's day or night, sunny or raining, the little lambs love to stay on the pastures of Stardew Valley Ranch, as if the vast pastures are their home.

Sometimes, Fang Gu really feels that how to get along with Pokémon is a huge subject to study.

After all, they are living, breathing entities in this world, not just data in a game.

"Mea~"

"I had just thought of you when you appeared right in front of me."

Fang Gu grabbed the little lamb's horns, and the clueless little creature actually tried to jump into his arms.

He didn't want to be thrown out again.

At this point, Fang Gu's lumbar disc started to ache again.

Last time, he was knocked off his horse by a goat and had to go to Harry's clinic in town, pay a thousand dollars for a consultation, and get a massage from Harry before he recovered.

Harry added, "This is a happy disc herniation."

Fang Gu could only smile helplessly at this, and gently stroked the horns of his little lamb mount, saying, "Let's go see the new companions on the ranch."

Chapter 108 The Timid Milk Tank

Fang Gu arrived at the Elf's Hut, which had been vacant since the Three Bees moved out.

Fortunately, it finally welcomed its residents – the giant milk tank.

Just like before.

Back when Grandpa Fang Gu was the rancher of Stardew Valley, this elf house was specially prepared for the big milk tanks.

According to the 131-page PDF "Big Milk Tank Feeding Guide" sent to Fang Gu by Grandpa Haward,

For timid Pokémon like Miltank, which are extremely susceptible to emotional influences, a safe environment must be ensured when they sleep.

In the wild, Milk Tanks are usually surrounded by Tauros with a "threatening" presence while they sleep.

In contrast, dairy farms typically have a small hut specifically for raising and resting their large tankers.

The structure of this small house, with its solid, square walls, gives the big-money babies a sense of security.

However, just having a small house isn't enough. Every time the big milk tanks rest, they huddle together to sleep. Only in this way, with a sufficient sense of security, can they fall asleep.

This is why Grandpa Howard sent over three large milk tanks.

A large milk carcass in an unfamiliar environment would certainly be uneasy, and even when it falls asleep, it would be filled with anxiety.

This will greatly affect the milk production of the large milk tank.

If Grandpa Howard had only teleported a Miltank, Fang Gu might have had to go out into the wild to capture a Tauros to live with Miltank.

Miltank and Tauros can also be considered one of the official pairings secretly arranged by the developers.

One is a Tauros whose entire population is male, and the other is a Milkcan whose entire population is female.

One category is "Bullish Pokémon," and the other is "Cow Pokémon."

Furthermore, in every Pokémon game where Miltank can be caught in the wild, Tauros will always be nearby.

It can be said that the two Pokémon are now deeply intertwined.

It is said that the presence of Tauros can also encourage large tanks to produce more Moo milk.

The "Big Milk Pot Feeding Guide" sent by Grandpa Howard also introduces this concept, which should be the result of Grandpa Howard's extensive practical experience.

However, Fang Gu has no intention of capturing Tauros at this stage.

Just like how Pokémon taxonomists classify Tauros, they also classify it as a Black Bull Pokémon.

Tauros is energetic and has an exceptionally fiery temper; perhaps he only shows his gentle side in front of Miltank.

Normally, the daily activities among Tauros consist of only two things: constantly running to expend energy and constantly fighting.

Within the Tauros, only the one with the thickest horns, the most scars, and the most victories is the leader of the pack; Tauros take pride in having scars.

Only the most experienced ranchers can handle a Kentauro.

Fang Gu's reason for not wanting to subdue Tauros was quite simple.

He suffered a herniated disc after being bumped by his 31kg lamb mount. If he were hit by a Kentaro, which weighs more than twice as much as his lamb mount, he would suffer a broken bone and be bedridden.

Just thinking about it made Fang Gu feel a dull ache in his lumbar disc, which he had injured last time.

"Bah!"

A faint scent of grass wafted into Fang Gu's nostrils, the smell of his little sheep, who was urging him to throw out the Poké Ball.

"Calm down, little lamb."

Fang Gu patted the head of his little lamb mount and continued, "As a senior member of Stardew Valley Ranch, shouldn't you take good care of the younger generation?"

"Bah!"

The little lamb, its front paws stomping, stood tall and proud, giving off an expression of "You can rest assured, leave it to me."

I, the little lamb, will definitely lead my descendants to eat the tenderest grass in Stardew Valley Ranch!

Fang Gu patted the horns of his little lamb mount, "This is the kind of little lamb I can trust."

Immediately, Fang Gu threw out a Poké Ball.

"Come out, our new friends."

With a flash of red light, three adorable giant milk tanks appeared in front of Fang Gu and his mount, the little sheep.

Milkcan has a pink body, a round, pale yellow belly with a large bulge, and a head that looks like it's wearing a black hood with two small horns sticking out from the hood.

The three large milk tanks that Grandpa Howard sent to Fang Gu were quite different. One of them was rather large and looked quite experienced, with a bell tied around its neck. The other two milk tanks were much smaller and seemed to be the "little girls" among the two large milk tanks. The two "little girls" looked even more timid. As soon as they came out, they hugged each other, closed their eyes, and trembled slightly.

It's like the stress experienced by some animals when they change their behavior or move to a different location.

"Big Milk Tank, be good, don't be scared anymore."

"This will be your new home from now on."

Fang Gu's gentle voice reached the ears of the big milk tanks, and he gently soothed the two timid ones with his hands, which indeed reduced their swaying.

Fang Gu regretted not bringing Fang Xiaolu along.

Fang Xiaolu, who has a Pokémon affinity, is like catnip to a cat when she's around a Pokémon.

If Fang Xiaolu were here, Big Milk Jar would probably be completely captivated by her alluring scent and caresses, and wouldn't need to be so terrified.

Comparing yourself to others will only make you more frustrated.

Fang Gu comforted the two timid milk tanks, but his eyes were fixed on another milk tank, for he already had some guesses about its identity.

After all, he should have realized this when he saw the way the big milk tank looked, as if it had returned home.

"Dingling bell~"

The older man in the large milk tank walked with gait, the bells on his chest ringing as he went.

It walked over to the two timid milk tanks and gently patted their heads, finally stopping their trembling.

The big milk tank looked at Fang Gu with the kind of loving gaze one would give a junior.

It's estimated that this giant milk jug is even older than Fang Gu.

Fang Gu looked at the bell on the chest of the big milk tank and, with his sharp eyes, noticed that there were several words engraved on the bell.

It looks like Stardew Valley Ranch.

This large milk tank is the one that Grandpa Fang Gu used to raise.

Grandpa Howard specially sent it back to help Fang Gu take care of the new big milk tank.

"Moo~"

The older, large milk tank gently nuzzled Fang Gu's cheek, just as it used to do with its old master.

For over twenty years, I hadn't returned to the place where I was born. When I finally did, the scene was still familiar, but everything had changed.

The person in front of me was no longer the smiling old man.

Fortunately, the young man in front of them was the old master's grandson, and the smile on his face carried the same gentleness as the old master.

Chapter 109 Big Milk Tank: The Battle is Awesome!

With the help of the older milk tank, the two timid milk tanks quickly recovered and curiously looked around at their surroundings with their big eyes.

The wooden walls, painted with the finest paint by Robin, looked sturdy and solid, and appeared extremely safe!

The floor of the elf's hut looked very clean, and in the corner were small beds made of dried hay, where they would sleep from today onwards.

"Moo~"

The two large milk jugs showed satisfied expressions.

The little house doesn't look big, but it's very cozy.

Fang Gu's steed, a little sheep, also looked at its new companion with curious eyes and spoke in a clear voice.

"Bah!"

The sudden bleating of the lamb startled the two timid adult milk tanks, who immediately hid behind the older adult milk tank.

The little lamb looked dejected; it had only wanted to say hello.

The little lamb, Fang Gu's mount, hid behind him, its head drooping.

Do they not like me, the little lamb?

Fang Gu gently stroked the horns of his mount, the little lamb, and softly comforted it, "The big milk tank doesn't dislike you; it's just that your voice scared them."

"They have just left their parents and may still be a little unaccustomed to it."

The little lamb, with its head down, seemed to have run and jumped around Stardew Valley Ranch three times when it left its parents.

It had long since grown tired of watching its parents show affection at home.

Perhaps the feelings between calves and lambs are different.
