"System, equip [Toughness Enhancement] attribute."
Hakuya looked at the Spinarak swarm in the treetops, moving his mind.
Since he had interacted enough times with the spider girl Ariados, he didn't need to choose carefully as before. With a wave of his hand, he arranged the attribute for every Spinarak.
"Luca~"
On the side, Lucario was still tapping the tree trunk lightly with a bone staff to shake down those mature berries. Turning her head, her eyes widened suddenly—under the farm owner's command, dozens of razor-sharp spider silks attacked fiercely towards this side.
One foot of cold light cutting clouds, cold glimmers suddenly illuminating the sky.
With crack-crack crisp sounds, the pink, moist Pecha Berries just shaken off the branches by the bone staff disintegrated completely in the air, scattering on the cushion buffer placed in advance.
"Ari-hiss?" "Ari-hiss!"
Not to mention Lucario startled by this sharp spider silk, even the Spinarak as initiators panicked subconsciously for a moment, staring at each other.
And Hakuya nodded calmly. Picking up a piece of Pecha Berry casually, seeing its cut surface smooth as a mirror, was enough to glimpse the high strength of the spider silk launched by Spinarak just now.
However, strength alone was obviously not enough.
After all, not used for fighting. If sold as a commodity, extensibility and toughness also needed to be tested by him in advance.
After pondering for a moment, the farm owner gathered the scattered spider silk on the ground together. Fingers jumping and flying up and down, he wove the scattered spider silk into a clustered large net, hanging it between two adjacent fruit saplings.
First placing dozens of full, round Oran Berries on it.
Then accumulating and piling higher bit by bit.
Finally even...
"Meow-uuu~"
The jumping Delcatty raised her fluffy cat paw pads, stomping down vigorously, finding that apart from some slight shaking, there was no sign of impending collapse or breakage.
"Quality is very good~"
Seeing this, even prepared mentally, Hakuya couldn't help sighing at the toughness shown by the spider silk before him.
Normally, spider silk spun by ordinary Spinarak could carry a maximum of no more than ten kilograms.
But strengthened by the [Toughness Enhancement] attribute, counting the weight of piled Oran Berries and Delcatty, these spider silks remained intact after being pressed by a heavy object of up to more than forty kilograms. The load-bearing capacity doubled by four times; sales prospects broadened visibly.
Of course, as a qualified farm owner, he couldn't rely solely on attribute enhancement; he also had to pay corresponding actions and efforts.
[Farm Upgrade Mission 10: In leisurely farm life, besides planting crops, one should also develop as many Pokémon-related agricultural products as possible. Please try to build a rain shelter and spider silk collection platform for the Spinarak.]
[Mission Reward: Aura Power (Rainbow)]
[Note: After completing the mission, the farm will upgrade to Level 3!]
"Aura Power?" Hearing the long-lost system mission prompt, Hakuya froze, withdrawing his gaze from the fruit shade. "Truly get what one wishes for..."
Similar to spiders in his previous life, even as Pokémon with special abilities, spider silk spun by Spinarak would be affected by the surrounding environment—if encountering heavy rain in the wild, excellent extensible threads would go limp, completely losing their original elasticity.
Therefore, building a rain shelter and collecting spider silk timely was necessary.
As for the reward, that complete version of Aura Power could be considered an unexpected joy.
Suppressing the joyous thoughts slightly, Hakuya began to plan the location of the Spinarak residence—after roaming the vast mountainous orchard, he chose a gentle slope at the innermost part after a detailed search.
Whether layers of fruit forests nearby shielding sunlight, closely backing the tall Mount Coronet peaks, or terrain not easy to accumulate rainwater... all met the personality requirements of those Spinarak preferring shade and fearing heat.
"Tink~"
Shortly, Tinkaton carrying a giant steel hammer was also called to the front by the farm owner.
She looked at the section marked with stones, then tilted her head cutely, swinging her two pink twin tails in a playful arc accordingly.
Location confirmed, where to find materials for building the rain shelter?
"Mmm..." Hakuya looked around, finally clapping his hands to confirm. "Let's dismantle the materials from the original small wooden cabin for use first~"
After all, after moving into the farm villa, the original wooden cabin was left idle and abandoned. It was most suitable to use it for secondary utilization now.
"Tink-tink~"
Hearing the Trainer's instruction, Tinkaton rushed towards the old wooden cabin eagerly.
For this Pokémon girl who liked craft work, whether swinging a big hammer to demolish a house or building meticulously, both undoubtedly fit her wishes perfectly.
While she collected wooden board materials, Hakuya also turned to command other Pokémon.
Building a rain shelter wooden house still relied on everyone's strength.
"Lopunny, please use Dig." "Chuu-lu-lu~"
After a soft, charming cry, earth dragons wound, soil flew, and a deep trench of just the right size was completed as requested by the Trainer.
Paving large, complicated pebbles, ramming into a thick, hard stone foundation.
Accompanied by Milotic blasting [Hydro Pump] mixed with clay, large amounts of stirred mud were spread smoothly. Without waiting too long, little Sneasel's [Icy Wind] raged and spread, cooling it instantly.
When the foundation construction was completed, Tinkaton, dusty from hammering down the wooden cabin, also rushed over holding materials.
For a time, the giant hammer rose and fell; bang-bang-bang knocking sounds were endless.
Wind and rain sheltering wooden roof, specially opened ventilation vents, bark hung inside for temporary rest...
Although a bit simple, it unexpectedly fit the wishes of this group of Spinarak originally living in the wild.
"Ari-hiss~"
[Farm Upgrade Mission 10 Complete: Build rain shelter and spider silk collection platform.]
[Mission Reward: Aura Power (Rainbow)]
[Farm level upgraded to Level 3. Allows equipping eight attributes simultaneously for the host or farm Pokémon.]
[Note: To continue breaking through farm levels, fifteen upgrade missions need to be completed.]
In an instant, as the system prompt fell, Hakuya, still looking at the rain shelter wooden house with satisfaction, frowned, feeling a warm current suddenly surge into his body.
Different from the mediocre incomplete version of superpower obtained before, the complete Aura Power obviously had much larger movements.
"Luca~"
Lucario swallowed subconsciously.
Not good, why did the Trainer become even more attractive than before?!
