When Takeru woke up the next day, he felt something tickling his nose. Opening his eyes, he saw Miu teasing his nose with her hair.
"What are you doing?" Looking at Miu, Takeru said helplessly.
"Onii-chan, you're awake!" Seeing Takeru open his eyes, Miu stuck out her tongue and smiled lightly.
"It would be hard not to wake up. But you actually woke up this early today." Looking at Miu, Takeru said calmly. According to his perception, it was only 6:30. Normally, Miu wouldn't wake up until around 7:30.
"Onii-chan, I found that my strength seems to have become really great. I feel like I could kill a cow with one punch!" Ignoring Takeru's teasing, Miu said excitedly.
"Well, couldn't you already do that before?" Hearing her words, Takeru said helplessly.
"I mean using pure strength without Nen. Hey Onii-chan, with that gene serum, if I keep drinking it, can I become as strong as you?" Saying this, Miu said expectantly.
"You're thinking too prettily. I only had three bottles of that stuff. I used one myself, gave you one, and now there's only one left. Besides, these things are ultimately external power. If you want to become strong, you still have to rely on yourself." Hearing her words, Takeru rolled his eyes.
"Hmph, I was just imagining!" Hearing Takeru mercilessly deflate her, Miu couldn't help but roll her eyes.
At this moment, because of Takeru and Miu's chatting and playing, Ai beside them rubbed her eyes and slowly woke up.
"Ah, sorry Ai, did we wake you?" Looking at Ai, Miu said apologetically.
"No, it's nothing. Oh, Master, I think I succeeded!" Hearing Miu's apology, Ai directly shook her head and quickly checked her physical condition.
Finding a new energy within her body that wasn't there before, Ai excitedly exclaimed.
"Yes, congratulations." Seeing Ai's surprised expression, Takeru smiled and nodded.
"Then Master, when can Ai start learning Ninjutsu?" Then, Ai said expectantly.
"If you want to learn Ninjutsu, even the simplest one, you need at least twenty times your current Chakra Amount." Hearing her words, Takeru directly said.
"Huh? Is that so? I understand." Although somewhat discouraged, Ai didn't lose heart and nodded with a serious expression.
"Oh, Master, so Ai is the second senior disciple now?" Suddenly, Ai thought of something and directly asked.
As for the first senior disciple, Takeru had designated that before, and Ai didn't intend to compete with Hinata for it. She directly said this.
"Yes, congratulations." Hearing she cared so much about this, Takeru was taken aback, then smiled and nodded.
"That's great!" Hearing Takeru's acknowledgment, Ai excitedly exclaimed.
"I'll post about you obtaining Chakra in the group later and also tell Hinata and the others." Seeing how much she cared, Takeru directly said.
"Yes, thank you Master!" Hearing Takeru say this, Ai smiled and nodded again.
The so-called group was the disciple group where Hinata, Hana, Nao, Kanon, Koyori, and Ai were. Of course, Takeru and Miu were also in it.
"Then Master, I'll go prepare breakfast." With a pleasant mood, Ai bid Takeru farewell.
"Yes, thank you for your hard work." Seeing Ai's high spirits, Takeru lightly nodded, not wanting to dampen her enthusiasm.
"Alright, since you're awake, train properly. Don't accidentally hurt anyone with your newly strengthened power." Looking at Miu, Takeru said seriously.
"I understand." Hearing Takeru's words, Miu didn't argue and nodded seriously.
Then, Takeru and Miu got up. After washing up in the bathroom, they directly went to the rooftop. Pikachu, Vulpix, and the many other little Pokémon gathered around Takeru upon seeing him.
Takeru smiled and patted the heads of the many Pokémon. Since they were created from mana and Nen, under normal circumstances, they only needed small amounts of food daily, or even every few days, to be completely sustained.
Takeru had catalyzed Green Spirit Fruits and Blaze Fruits. If they got hungry, they could pick and eat them on their own, requiring no further worry from Takeru and the others.
"Takeru-sama, Miu, good morning." Ram, who was milking, saw Takeru and Miu arrive and politely greeted them.
"Thank you for your hard work, Ram." Looking at the capable Ram, Takeru smiled lightly.
"No, compared to before at Roswaal's Mansion, this work is nothing. Besides, Miki, Karin, and the others help out." Hearing Takeru's words, Ram lightly shook her head.
"Is that so? That's good." Hearing her words, Takeru smiled and nodded.
Since Ram and the others also had inventory slots and there were only two Miltank, Takeru usually had them collect milk at intervals and store it. With the inventory slots, there was no worry about spoilage.
Even if stored outside, using the bottles Takeru made, the milk could probably be preserved for at least about ten days. Of course, the exact duration hadn't been truly tested. Takeru estimated this based on one day stored outside.
Besides Miltank, Takeru also stockpiled quite a lot from Chansey. After all, these were relatively precious and delicious ingredients, and not storing them would be wasteful.
Although frequent collection would cause some fatigue for Chansey and Miltank, as long as the quantity was controlled, it was fine.
Basically, as long as at least one-third of their mana was retained, it wouldn't significantly impact them, and their mana recovery speed wouldn't slow down.
That is to say, for Miltank, each one could be milked four times a day for a total of forty liters of MooMoo Milk without burdening it. Two Miltank could provide Takeru with eighty liters of MooMoo Milk daily, completely sufficient for Takeru's household's consumption, with plenty left over.
As for Chansey's eggs, it was similar. One Chansey could produce twenty-eight to thirty eggs daily without any issues. Of course, like the Miltank, it needed to be done in multiple sessions.
Takeru and the others treating them as production tools didn't cause Chansey and Miltank any resentment. On the contrary, they were very cooperative, because it meant Takeru needed them, which made them very happy.
After greeting them, Takeru applied gravity to Miu to help her adapt to her current strength.
Sensing the increased gravity, Miu felt extremely uncomfortable. Although her strength had increased, the gravity Takeru applied this time was also raised a level, changing from the previous thirty kilograms to about sixty kilograms.
Although it had doubled, Miu didn't feel unable to move. She began physical training on the spot.
Seeing Miu's condition, Takeru turned his attention to the still somewhat empty rooftop. He directly took out a large alloy crate. Then, Takeru flew above it, made a selection, and took out a batch of mutated bee corpses.
Then, Takeru looked directly at the mutated bee queen. The mutated queen bee was about seventy to eighty centimeters in size, a truly terrifying existence.
Ordinary adult worker bees were also about ten-something centimeters in size.
So Miu, who had been curious, looked at the worker bees' appearance and their terrifying features and couldn't help but shudder. She was most afraid of these insect-type things.
After taking out the queen bee's corpse, Takeru began manifestation. The queen bee's corpse started to dissipate and transform into special energy, then combined with the mana surging from Takeru's body, rapidly forming a special bee.
Bright red eyes, white pupils, with ruby-like structures above the eye sockets.
There were pairs of very small wings on the orange parts beside its face. Its hands and body were black, and the lower part of its body had a skirt-like structure that occupied a large proportion of its body.
This bee before them was Vespiquen, the evolved form of Combee. It stood about one meter twenty tall, even larger than the previous queen bee.
"Vespi~!" As its consciousness became clear, Vespiquen affectionately flew to Takeru's side. Takeru smiled and lightly nodded at it.
Afterwards, the other bee corpses were swept up by Takeru's mana, transforming into groups of adorable-looking Combee...
