Seeing that Eddie didn't care about her rude words, Fiona breathed a sigh of relief, and then she continued, "The fruit trees here are growing very well, but the soil fertility seems to be not very good. You should have been using homemade fertilizers, right?"
"That's right." Eddie nodded.
"Homemade fertilizers are sufficient for low-energy-level fruit trees, but if they are always used for high-energy-level fruit trees, it can easily lead to insufficient soil fertility."
"Let me recommend a store where you can buy special fertilizers. These special fertilizers are made of pure natural materials and have no industrial ingredients. They can improve soil fertility without affecting the taste of the Berries."
Fiona thought for a while and said that actually very few people knew about this store because they usually only cooperated with fixed customers, such as large corporations like the Sasaki family, and ordinary people couldn't even get their contact information.
It seems that inviting Fiona to visit was indeed the right choice. Eddie was very surprised to hear this. He said gratefully: "Thank you very much, Fiona."
Fiona nodded and said, "That store rarely cooperates with outsiders. Remember to mention my name when you contact them."
Eddie joked after hearing this: "It seems like I have found a great partner. Thank you for your help!"
"Naughty!" Fiona was finally amused by Eddie. She continued, "You don't need to apply special fertilizers frequently. Once a month is enough. You have taken good care of this Mystic Mountain. The loss of soil fertility is not serious."
Upon hearing this, Eddie was humble and took the opportunity to ask Fiona a lot of questions, and Fiona answered them one by one.
Then the three of them roughly toured the entire Mystic Mountain. After that, Fiona exclaimed again: "Eddie, I really can't imagine that you have cultivated such a large number of B-grade fruit trees in just a few years. It's really..." She wanted to say terrible, but felt it was inappropriate.
After thinking for a while, Fiona suddenly said to Eddie with a very serious expression: "Eddie, now on behalf of the Sasaki family, I formally invite you to join the Sasaki family."
Eddie's talent is so terrifying that even someone as indifferent as Fiona couldn't help but be moved and wanted to pull him into his camp.
Without waiting for Eddie to speak, Fiona continued, "You may not know our Sasaki family. The Sasaki family is one of the largest families in the Kanto region. They made their fortune by planting trees and Berries, and now they have their own achievements in various industries."
"With your talent, as long as you join the Sasaki family, the family's resources will definitely be tilted towards you. Not only can you cultivate fruit trees as you wish, you will even have the opportunity to come into contact with A-grade or even S-grade fruit trees. Maybe it won't be long before you can cultivate A-grade fruit trees yourself..."
Fiona introduced to Eddie word by word the size of the Sasaki family and the various benefits of joining the Sasaki family, and his attitude seemed sincere and serious.
Amber was not satisfied. She glared at Fiona and said, "Fiona, you are so mean. You actually tried to steal my planter. It was obviously me who suggested it first!"
Fiona replied expressionlessly: "It's just fair competition."
After hearing this, Amber had no choice but to say to Eddie: "Eddie, what's so good about the Sasaki family? Why not join our Yulong family? Our family has a much longer history than the Sasaki family. We have everything they have, and we also have things they don't have..."
Eddie had previously learned that Fiona was from the Sasaki family, but it was the first time he heard that Amber was from the Yulong family. He was a little surprised. He knew that Amber was a young lady, but he didn't expect that she was a young lady with such a great background.
So terrifying!
But where is the sisterly love you two promised each other? Now you are so "at odds" over a man?
Although Eddie complained in his heart, he saw that Fiona and Amber were sincere and really wanted to invite him to join their respective families, so he did not joke, but said to them seriously:
"Thank you both for your appreciation, but I still feel more comfortable alone."
"Ah~~" Amber sighed regretfully, "It's very hard to work hard alone. Eddie, you have such strong abilities at such a young age. It's better for you to concentrate on studying and cultivating fruit trees. Why waste your time on working hard?"
However, after hearing Eddie's answer, Fiona felt disappointed and took it for granted.
With Eddie's ability, it was only a matter of time before he made a name for himself in the world. However, he was too good, and Fiona couldn't help but want to give it a try. As expected, he was rejected.
Seeing that Amber wanted to continue chattering, Eddie quickly interrupted her and said, "Okay, let's go to another part of Mystic Mountain to have a look. I'm currently researching and cultivating grafted fruit trees there, and I was thinking of asking Fiona to help me take a look!"
Amber was interrupted when she wanted to say something and glared at Eddie in dissatisfaction, but she also knew that Eddie didn't want to continue this topic, so she had to shut up and stop talking.
Under Eddie's leadership, the three came to Mystic Mountain again.
Compared with the orchard on Mystic Mountain, this part of Mystic Mountain is a little more desolate. The grafted fruit trees have not yet fully grown, and the newly transplanted fruit trees are still just saplings.
Eddie brought Fiona and Amber into a forest of grafted fruit trees. Most of the grafted fruit trees here had died, and only a small number survived, so the entire orchard looked sparse.
"The survival rate of your grafted fruit trees doesn't seem to be high." Fiona said puzzledly, looking at the sparse fruit trees in front of him.
In the Pokémon world, the fruit tree grafting technology is already very mature, and the survival rate of grafted fruit trees by general growers can reach about 80%. However, after observing the actual situation of this orchard, Fiona feels that the survival rate here is probably less than 40%.
"That's true." Eddie looked distressed. He asked Fiona, "If the fruit trees originally lived in an environment with extremely high energy concentration, how can we ensure their survival rate if we want to transplant them now?"
Fiona replied: "That's not difficult."
Not difficult? Eddie was shocked. So this isn't difficult?
Then he heard Fiona say: "Just plant them in an ecological simulation plantation."
Eddie had heard of ecological simulation plantations, but weren't these plantations designed to simulate special environments, such as extreme heat or extreme cold? They could also simulate high-concentration energy environments.
Thinking of this, Eddie asked his doubts.
The fact is that it can be simulated, but Eddie doesn't know it because of his limited vision. It's just that this special plantation is too expensive, and most people would not build it, so naturally not many people know about it.
The Sasaki family has such a plantation, and there is only one of them, and it grows their family's most precious treasure - S-grade fruit trees.
The amount of money spent on maintaining a plantation like this every year is almost incalculable, but it is worth it for the Sasaki family. The S-grade fruit trees are the foundation of their family's survival, and fruit trees of this level need to be protected at all costs.
In fact, not only the Sasaki family, but also the Yulong family where Amber is located has similar characteristics. The S-grade fruit tree is one of the important reasons why a large family can continuously produce powerful trainers, and powerful trainers are the foundation for a large family and a large force to gain a foothold in the Pokémon world for a long time.
After listening to Fiona's story, Eddie was immediately numb. He might as well go to bed. The ecological simulation plantation was all nonsense. He couldn't even build an ordinary plantation, let alone anything else.
This is not easy, it's too difficult! If you have money, everything is easy, but the key is that he has no money!
