Chapitre 30: Chapter 30: Energy Cubes
"I'll take care of the remaining wool. Why don't you try making some energy cubes!" Rex snatched the scissors from Yuli's hand and said.
Currently, the most important thing at Rex Farm was to produce energy cubes. Everything else had to take a back seat.
"Alright, then. I'll leave it to you, boss!" Yuli was also eager to make energy cubes. Seeing Rex taking over the wool-shearing task, after hesitating for a while, she agreed. As Rex had said, her most urgent task now was to produce energy cubes.
"Akiko, if you're tired, take a rest. I'll handle the work here!" Rex gently said after straightening out Akiko's puffy hair.
"I'm not tired, Akiko wants to work with big brother!" Akiko earnestly replied to Rex.
"Alright then, I'll leave it to you, Akiko. You're such a diligent kid!" Rex praised Akiko.
Encouraged by Rex's praise, Akiko was all smiles, then happily resumed transporting the Mareep wool.
"Mareep, Mareep!" At this moment, the impatient Mareep began to make its voice heard. It had been left hanging for quite a while, with only half of its wool sheared by Yuli earlier. It just wanted to get the shearing over with quickly so it could go out and play with the other Mareep.
Although the Mareep were regularly sheared, they didn't dislike it. After being sheared, they felt exceptionally relaxed, as if they had shed a heavy burden.
"Alright, alright, I'll help you shear. Don't be so impatient!" Rex had often sheared Mareep wool with Yuli before, so he was quite skilled at it. It didn't take long for him to finish shearing the remaining Mareep wool.
While Akiko continued energetically transporting the wool, the pile on the ground grew larger.
Later, Rex joined the wool-transporting team. By the time he and Akiko finished transporting all the wool, their hairstyles were similar, except that Rex's hair was shorter and his puffy ball was smaller.
"Alright, our work is done. Do you want me to take you out to play, or do you want to find your sister?" Rex asked after straightening out Akiko's and his own hair.
"Um, it's hard to choose, but I still want to see what my sister is doing!" Akiko pouted and, after thinking for a moment, answered.
"Okay, but your sister is making energy cubes. When we get there, you have to be good and not disturb her!" Rex reminded Akiko in advance, knowing that Yuli was in the middle of making energy cubes.
"I know, I won't disturb my sister!" Akiko said seriously.
Then, Rex took Akiko's hand and returned to the hall.
Meanwhile, Yuli was concentrating on operating the fruit mixer and didn't notice the two standing behind her.
"Oh, another failure!" After a while, the fruit mixer stopped, but Yuli knew that this attempt had failed. She hadn't controlled the internal rotation speed of the fruit mixer well, resulting in the fruit essence not being refined properly, and she ended up with only mashed fruit.
This was her third attempt, but unfortunately, she still couldn't grasp the rhythm. This kind of thing could only be cultivated through numerous attempts.
"When did you two come back? Why didn't you remind me!" Yuli only noticed Rex and Akiko now and asked.
"We just got back. We saw you concentrating on making energy cubes, so we didn't want to disturb you by saying hello!" Rex replied honestly.
"Boss, it seems I underestimated the difficulty of making energy cubes. I've tried several times, but I still can't figure it out. I'm sorry!" Yuli's confidence was a bit shaken. Originally full of confidence, she now seemed a bit hesitant.
"Cheer up. There's no need to fear failure. Even if these fruits fail to make energy cubes, we have plenty of them on the trees. We can just pick more. There's no need to be so discouraged." Rex patted Yuli on the shoulder and said.
Afterwards, Rex left with Akiko. He felt that staying here would put psychological pressure on Yuli.
Although Akiko was small, she knew that her sister had things to do and couldn't play with her, so she let Rex take her away.
"Swellow, fly higher and faster!"
Akiko shouted happily.
Yes, Rex took Akiko riding on Swellow to patrol his farm in the sky. This was also something Rex had recently become obsessed with. He would do it every day to experience the feeling of flying.
This was actually also training Swellow's flying skills and the bond between them. However, today he brought along Akiko, and unexpectedly, she was not afraid of heights at all and kept urging Swellow to fly higher and faster.
But Rex wouldn't do that. When flying with Swellow, he needed to reserve some strength to deal with emergencies.
In the following half month, besides her daily chores, Yuli spent all her other time making energy blocks.
Rex felt a bit guilty seeing her enthusiasm, feeling like he was some sort of heartless capitalist.
"I did it, boss, I did it!"
Rex was playing with Akiko and the Pokémon when he suddenly heard Yuli's voice.
Yuli's hair was messy, her face tired, her eyes red. Obviously, she hadn't rested well for a long time, and she must have stayed up late last night.
Looking at the girl in front of him like this, Rex didn't know what to say. He had advised Yuli several times to take a good rest, but obviously, it didn't work well.
"It's indeed a basic energy cubes. You did it, congratulations, Yuli!"
Rex took the energy block from the girl's hand, looked at it, and said.
After hearing Rex's words, Yuli felt very happy. It seemed like a big burden in her heart was lifted. However, feeling relaxed, she suddenly felt dizzy and collapsed to the ground unconscious.
"Akiko, what's wrong with you? Don't scare Akiko!"
Akiko looked at her fainted sister and burst into tears.
"Akiko, don't worry, your sister is just too tired these days. She'll be fine after resting for a few days."
Rex was also startled when Yuli fell. After approaching and checking, he found that her breathing was steady, she probably just fainted from exhaustion.
It might be because she couldn't make energy blocks these days, which caused her to bear too much mental pressure, along with staying up late several times.
Rex carried Yuli back to her room. After sending Akiko away with an excuse, he used his abilities to help her recover.
Yuli was now his right-hand woman. Through this period of time, Rex had also come to approve of this girl, so he was willing to take the risk of revealing his abilities to treat her.
Moreover, she was already unconscious. Even if she felt the changes in her body after waking up, she would only think that she had a good sleep this time, which helped her body recover.
The next morning, Yuli woke up from her sleep, feeling better than ever before. She felt refreshed, as if she had endless energy.
Looking at the time displayed on her phone, it was already past 8 in the morning, which made her a bit anxious. Normally, she would wake up around 6 in the morning to prepare breakfast for Rex and the Pokémon, but today she overslept.
"Weird, why didn't my phone alarm go off?"
To prevent herself from oversleeping, Yuli had set several alarms, but none of them went off today.
Actually, Rex had stopped all the alarms to ensure she had a good sleep.
