Pokémon Farm

Chapter 73 Outings and Team Games

Several days passed slowly, and the students' lives remained as orderly as ever. The flowers, plants, and trees were refreshed by the light rain last night, and the vibrant scene filled the entire college. Even the fruit trees in the front yard exuded the fragrance of ripe fruit.

"Mumke"

The chirping gradually woke Xuan Mingtian from his sleep. He opened his eyes and saw Muker jumping and flying around like a drunk person walking unsteadily.

"Alright, I'm awake now. I told you not to fly yet, why didn't you listen? What you need to do now is drink milk, sleep, and play with beans."

As Xuan Mingtian spoke, he reached out his hands and pulled it down from mid-air.

Dong dong dong

"Brother Tian, ​​hurry up! We're just missing you. The teachers are about to gather us."

The knocking on the door, accompanied by Yang Bin's shout, reached Xuan Mingtian's ears. In an instant, he suddenly realized that it was the weekend, and a day for an outing.

"It'll be ready soon." As soon as he finished speaking, Xuan Mingtian rushed into the bathroom with lightning speed.

In no time, he arrived in the living room and saw Xiao Gang, Yang Bin, and Chen Qianqian already fully prepared. He also saw the butler, Uncle Xiao, carrying a backpack and a waistband. Xuan Mingtian knew without guessing that these were for him.

After the four of them got ready, they strode towards the teaching building. This time, the trio only brought their own Pokémon. The Pokémon eggs, such as Growlithe and Inugami, were left at home. After all, they were going to have a blast on the picnic, and bringing Pokémon eggs might cause them to get bumped and scratched. So they simply kept them under house arrest in the small courtyard.

Speaking of which, the expansion of the small courtyard was successfully completed on Wednesday afternoon, since the main work involved those eight large trees.

On Tuesday afternoon, Xuan Mingtian requested two more trees, but this did not stump the construction team. They transported the 12-meter-tall trees by air in just one hour. After the project was completed on Wednesday, they treated the construction team and their subordinates to a feast of Dumb Beast tails.

However, one thing greatly annoyed Xuan Mingtian: the soil containing metallic elements, which he ordered on Monday, was not delivered until Friday morning.

Everyone originally thought they would be brought over from the Hoenn region, but after the delivery driver explained that his aunt had brought it over from the volcano in Cinnabar Town, Xuan Mingtian was so angry when he heard this that he almost brought his Tropius to kill him, but he managed to hold back. However, he definitely made a note of it in his little notebook.

"Alright, students, let's go on our picnic now!"

The homeroom teacher's voice reached Xuan Mingtian's ears, bringing him back from his thoughts.

However, when the homeroom teacher glanced at Xuan Mingtian, his eyes seemed to want to devour the latter.

"Xiaogang, come and see what kind of look our homeroom teacher is giving us. It's like I beat him up."

After receiving the murderous glare from his homeroom teacher, Xuan Mingtian immediately informed Xiao Gang, who was standing next to him.

Xiao Gang didn't reply, but instead pulled Yang Bin next to him. The latter immediately understood and then said in a fatherly tone, "Brother Tian, ​​the day the class monitor was scared to tears, he ran straight into the teacher's office, shouting 'Uncle, I'm so scared!' and then he ran into the homeroom teacher's office."

At this point, Xiao Gang finally spoke up: "So now all the teachers and students in the school know that the class monitor's uncle is the homeroom teacher, and they also know that you scared her to tears. If it weren't for the homeroom teacher stopping him, Bai Wu would have wanted to come over and fight you one-on-one. Although we all know he definitely can't win, he still has that thought."

Suppressing his embarrassment, Xuan Mingtian asked in confusion, "Why didn't I know?"

However, what followed was the disdain from Xiaogang and Yangbin.

"If you had stopped sleeping in class from that day on, you would have found out about this too. Who would have thought that you would sleep straight through get out of class every time?"

Upon hearing Xiao Gang's words, Xuan Mingtian immediately retorted, "Xiao Gang, you're wrong. I did listen attentively in class. If you don't believe me, go ask Zhou Gong (the Duke of Zhou), he even praised me for being smart."

However, what greeted Xuan Mingtian was the two's "friendly" international gesture, because Xiao Gang and Yang Bin knew all too well who the Duke of Zhou he was talking about was, after all, this Duke of Zhou was someone that some people often mentioned.

Thirty minutes passed quietly as the trio chatted and laughed, and the first-grade students finally arrived at their picnic destination.

The lake is surrounded by continuous mountain peaks. The water is emerald green and crystal clear. When there is no wind, the surface is like a mirror, reflecting fluffy white clouds and the verdant mountains, creating a harmonious blend of mountain scenery and water. Various creatures, large and small, dart about in the surrounding area and on the water, seemingly swimming among the towering mountains and white clouds, making one feel as if they are in a fairyland.

"Brother Tian, ​​this place is so beautiful, it's even more beautiful than Grandma Li's botanical garden."

“Binzi, Grandma Li’s place can only be considered as artificially enhancing the natural beauty, but this place is truly made by nature itself, it can be described as a masterpiece of nature.”

Xuan Mingtian also agreed with Yang Bin's praise. After all, in the Elf World, the people here protected nature much better than in his previous life, and the laws were extremely strict.

"Alright, students, let's set up our tents."

Led by their homeroom teachers, students from each class took out tents from their backpacks and set up camp on a large grassy area. However, Xuan Mingtian and his group of four chose to set up their tents by the lake, away from the rest of the group.

The students set up and shared a tent with their close friends. Before long, with the help of the teachers, all the students completed their tasks and were gathered together by the teachers once again.

"Classmates, after lunch break we will organize a series of games: five-legged race, name tag ripping, hula hoop relay, charades, alarm clock bomb, and fun tug-of-war. So now you need to find your own class team and disperse."

Xuan Mingtian was speechless at the teacher's words. After all, he had already played these games in his previous life, and the feeling of playing them again now was just too wonderful.

At the same time, the teacher also took out a large poster with instructions on how to play, rewards, and punishments for each game.

Fun tug-of-war: Draw three parallel short lines on the ground, 2 meters apart. The middle line is the center line, and the two sides are the boundaries. Tie a red rope in the middle of the tug-of-war rope as a marker, and hang a weight perpendicular to the center line below it. Each class forms a team, and the team that pulls the marked rope across their team's boundary wins.

The alarm clock bomb game involves selecting 5 students from each class to form a group of 10 for a competition. Each student holds an alarm clock with a set time and then asks each other questions. The person who answers the question holds the alarm clock, and after answering, the alarm clock is immediately passed to the next person, and so on. Whoever has the alarm clock ringing loses.

Five people, six legs. Each class is divided into four groups. Each group of five people stands shoulder to shoulder in a row. The feet of two adjacent people are tied together with a rope. They run back and forth for 30 meters with each other. The group with the shortest time wins.

Tearing name tags is a game where students from different classes have a name tag stuck on their backs, and then the classes compete against each other. The class whose students have all their name tags torn off loses.

You draw, I guess. Students from each class draw a rough picture of a sprite, and students from other classes try to guess it. The student who guesses the fewest sprites within 20 minutes loses, while the student who guesses the most wins.

Passing the hula hoop involves students from each class standing in a line, holding hands, and passing the hula hoop from the first student to the last. The class that takes the shortest time wins.

Team winner: Receives one week's worth of energy cubes

Team losers: Each person eats one lemon or leba fruit.

The class winner receives one month's worth of energy cubes.

The loser in the class: Each person eats two lemon fruits or jujubes.

"Xiao Tian, ​​let's hurry up and find someone to team up with. I really don't want to try the taste of lemon fruit. That sourness is just too unbearable." After saying that, Xiao Gang even made a face as if he was about to faint from the sourness.

"I don't know who to team up with. I'm not very familiar with my classmates either." Xuan Mingtian was troubled and had no choice, since he didn't want to try the taste of lemon fruit or jujube fruit.

"Brother Tian, ​​why don't we team up with the class monitor? After all, besides us, she's the one we know best, and she's so smart, there's no way she'll lose." Yang Bin had a flash of inspiration and immediately voiced his idea.

However, Xuan Mingtian did not quite agree with Yang Bin's idea, since he didn't know if Yang Bin's anger had subsided.

But this time it wasn't Xuan Mingtian's turn to agree; Xiao Gang and Yang Bin had already dragged him toward the class monitor's position.

In no time, the two of them had dragged Xuan Mingtian to the class monitor.

"Class monitor, Xiaotian said he wants to team up with you. The three of us and you two siblings can make a five-person team," Xiaogang said with a serious expression.

"You bastard Xuan Mingtian, you dare to come here? You bullied my sister and still want to team up with us? Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Bai Wu said angrily, looking like he even wanted to fight.

However, Xuan Mingtian muttered to himself, "She insisted on going with us back then. If she hadn't gone, nothing would have happened."

Upon hearing Xuan Mingtian muttering, Xiao Gang immediately stepped forward and covered his mouth, saying, "Ah, calm down first. Xiao Tian said he'll ask for anything as long as he teams up with you guys."

"Hmph, then train my Bulbasaur for two school years, including its daily meals. If you agree, we'll team up with you." The class monitor glared at Xuan Mingtian and said indifferently.

"Okay, class monitor, we agree to this condition. Wish us victory in the game." Xiao Gang ignored Xuan Mingtian's wide-eyed expression and readily agreed.

"That's wonderful! Xuan, you're so generous. You're usually either sleeping or on your way to sleep in class. I never expected you to be so generous." After Bai Wu finished speaking, he patted Xuan Mingtian's shoulder. His anger changed in an instant. He was so generous that he deserved an Oscar.
