174 I Became A Farmer! SSS-Level Pikachu
[Entering the Planting Orchard Field.]
The fortunate aspect is that all purchased fruit trees are permanent fixtures, they'll continue to bear fruit endlessly, making them renewable sources of profit.
"Pika-chuuu!!"
With the orchard system strapped to his back, Qin Yun felt an unprecedented sense of urgency he needed to make money, fast.
"If I sell everything to the system, it's just 84 points. Relying on that to unlock another red-grade plot is like throwing pebbles into the ocean. It's nowhere near enough."
[Speed: 8263 (SSS)]
Qin Yun knew it instinctively: if he managed to push out this upgraded Active Energy Cube, it would flood the market in record time. It could replace the current top-tier Pokéblocks used in places like Hoenn's Contest Halls or Sinnoh's Super Contests.
"Should I sell the recipe?"
Back when he first transmigrated, four years ago, that would've seemed fine.
"The average maturation time for a tree is one day. Most fruit types yield 10 berries per harvest. That's standard across most regions, whether it's Sitrus in Kalos or Lum in Johto."
"This cash flow... it's way too tight."
"I just need one crucial breakthrough one big payoff. Otherwise, I'm at risk too."
[Attack: 9676 (SSS)]
Being under the Dragon Kingdom Alliance second only to the World Alliance Council meant Qin Yun had national-level resources at his back.
Even Steven Stone, former Hoenn Champion, had to go all out in that pivotal battle, just barely clutching a win.
Still, unlocking even a single plot of red-grade land meant 200,000 Pokémon coins in daily passive income. That was a no-brainer investment.
[Enter successfully.]
Qin Yun planted four trees in rapid succession. In that moment, he became a small-scale tycoon, earning 840,000 Pokémon coins daily.
[Strength: Elite Primary]
[Potential: Epic One-Star]
The demand for high-grade energy cubes was staggering. With billions of trainers globally and over 100 million active participants in League-certified events, every cube would be devoured the moment it hit shelves.
"I underestimated the scope... This high-end cube formula is worth over a trillion in market cap. Even Steven can't corner this alone."
With just 340,000 points left, Qin Yun could only unlock three more plots.
Pikachu, despite its base stats being on the lower end, had terrifying fusion efficiency thanks to its awakened Sharingan and multi-type structure.
Only the first plot was free. Plots two through ten each cost 100,000 points. The price doubled every ten plots thereafter. With 108 plots total, it was a serious uphill climb.
[Special Attack: 9843 (SSS)]
He bought two additional basic fruit trees both low-cost options for crafting Mega Active Cubes: Lum Berries and Cranberries.
Those qualified to collaborate Norman, Steven's father, President Zvitch of the Devon Corporation, and Kenin were all powerful and had solid reputations.
Pikachu leapt into Qin Yun's arms, eyes gleaming.
[Pokémon: Pikachu (Sharingan Form)]
A single high-grade cranberry berry sold for 220,000 Pokémon coins. With a yield of ten berries, that's 2.2 million per harvest.
These were from the most basic red-grade plots. If he wanted higher-grade soil, the costs skyrocketed.
Qin Yun's tone took on a hint of sarcasm.
He exited the orchard and collapsed into bed, utterly drained.
"If I license this to the Dragon Kingdom Alliance, even a 1% share in the tech would be enough to retire on."
He blinked and suddenly, he stood on a floating field, reminiscent of Snowpoint City's wild penguin ranches. One red-grade plot lay ahead, the rest locked behind shimmering barriers.
Everything in this system demanded payment. It was a bottomless pit for coins and points alike.
Gritting his teeth, Qin Yun unlocked three more red plots, leaving him with just 40,000 points. That wasn't something he could waste on test projects like Solaceon cubes.
Common berries were simply too cheap 2,000 Pokémon coins each. Ten berries a day meant just 200,000 daily income.
That worked out to 2.2 million across ten days—only 220,000 daily average.
Qin Yun wasn't greedy. Just 1% equity would yield insane dividends.
He knew the real money came from competitions big prizes, rare materials, prestige.
The next morning, his alarm woke him sharply.
Hovering before him was a floating manual thin, about ten pages thick.
Each high-tier tree required 30,000 points. In coin value? A massive 300 million.
"Points are the key to unlocking higher stages of this orchard?"
High-grade trees matured over ten days and still produced ten berries per cycle.
[Defense: 7665 (SSS)]
Rustboro Gym was known for its brutal strength. Even Steven, during his final high school year, only barely managed a win against it.
[Welcome, orchard owner. Please read your manual.]
One viable strategy: donate the recipe and production method to the Dragon Kingdom Alliance. This would strengthen the entire nation's Pokémon powerbase and provide Qin Yun with vital political backing.
Qin Yun had two choices: sell the recipe or find a strategic partner. The idea simmered in his mind.
He took his time with the manual, carefully digesting every line. Half an hour later, he finally closed it.
The red-grade land repaid itself daily once it hit scale, the return was astronomical.
"But to break even, it takes nearly four years at the current pace."
Defeating Rustboro Gym was out of the question for now.
He wondered could those big corporate heads resist the allure of massive profits?
Upgrading land cost ten times more per tier. But the payout and speed also tripled tempting, but risky.
"Basic fruit trees only cost 100 points each. Not bad."
The energy cube industry was already under the control of powerful players. Any new contender would face extreme resistance, and possibly sabotage.
Still, opening the orchard was mandatory. It was the foundation of a passive income empire.
Qin Yun had a knack for crunching numbers quickly.
The orchard ran fully autonomously harvesting, storing, and preparing stock for sale. Hands-free operation.
But it bled money like crazy.
He checked the pods. Only one Pokémon had stirred—his Pikachu.
"Let's check on #907 first."
He grabbed Pikachu and examined its Contest stats.
The final line in the manual finally clicked into place for him.
Today was also his scheduled appointment with Kenin. He'd head to Rustboro Gym to observe and maybe consult with her.
[Special Ability: Sharingan]
But as for actually challenging the gym? That was suicide.
[Skills: Thunderbolt, Tackle, Fire-Style Ninjutsu, Phoenix Fire Technique, Fire Dragon Flame Bullet, Great Fire Annihilation, Thunder Clone, Lightning Armor, Chidori, Chidori Spear, Raikiri]
He opened the floating manual again, reading more closely this time.
[Type: Electric + Fire + Psychic (Unique)]
"Too early to think about that stuff. I need a solid rest first."
This orchard system might be the key to unimaginable wealth.
[Special Defense: 8152 (SSS)]
The profits from the Active Energy Cubes alone were staggering.
"But recovering my initial investment with basic berries? Not a chance."
"So that's what it meant…"
[Ability: Ninjutsu Mastery (Increases power of ninjutsu-based moves by 100%)]
Qin Yun pictured several influential figures in his mind.
[Description: A mutated Pikachu with a Sharingan. Possesses three types—Electric, Fire, and Psychic. Species Base Stat Total is 900, with all six stats equally distributed. Due to genetic instability, this Pikachu is permanently unevolved.]
[HP: 8165 (SSS)]
[Total Stats: 51764 (SSS)]
