I just want to give the elves a home. What's wrong with that?

"Xiao Ran, why did you call us here so early..."

Hong Pang yawned. He partyed too late yesterday and when he woke up, his butt was already exposed to the sun.

"It's too early. Didn't I tell you before that you can cultivate fruit-eating worms? Please be the driver."

Hearing this, Hong Pang's sleepiness faded away. Uncle Li's eyes lit up. You know, he has been waiting for this day for a long time. He caught four fruit bugs and was often accused of being a sucker.

"Brother Ran, do you mean that the fruit worm has reached the point where it can evolve?"

Hong Pang suddenly felt a little excited. Was he finally going to have his first dragon-type Pokémon?

It's not like the family hasn't looked for him these days, but dragon elves value rapport, and so far no dragon elf has taken a liking to him.

However, this is also directly related to the fact that he did not take it seriously. Ever since Li Ran heard him talk about the potential of the fruit-gnawing worm, he has devoted himself to its cultivation. Although the fruit-gnawing worm is not strong, as a member of the dragon clan, it is difficult to obey at the beginning. Hong Pang has no energy to cater to other dragon elves.

"To be precise, my apple orchard is ripe."

Li Ran seemed to have long been accustomed to Hong Pang's changing expression. When he talked about the apple orchard, Feng Ke's resentful tone seemed to echo in his ears.

Ever since Feng Ke gave the apple orchard to him, he had never been there until the harvest season these days, when Feng Ke finally couldn't help but call him.

We can't let those apples rot in the orchard.

"Brother Ran, the key to the evolution of fruitworms is apples?"

Hong Pang held his chin thoughtfully. Although he didn't want to admit that apples could play a role in evolution, when he thought about the appearance of eating fruit worms, it inexplicably felt reasonable.

In this way, Uncle Li drove the car and slowly drove out of the city and into the suburbs. Yanyan was lying on the window with rare excitement.

It’s not that she likes eating apples, but Li Ran told her today that she could pick as many as she wanted, so she became interested.

The apple orchard that Feng Ke gave him was located in this suburb, but when they approached the location Feng Ke sent him, Li Ran fell silent.

At first Feng Ke said the apple orchard he was given was very small, but now it seems...

It seems that this small is only small in his own understanding. This apple orchard that occupies half of the mountain becomes small when it is spoken by Feng Ke!

"I suggest that we conduct a thorough investigation into whether President Feng Ke has engaged in corruption."

Li Ran complained quietly, then showed his identity information to the security guard stationed at the door. When they learned that Li Ran was the owner of the apple orchard, everyone couldn't help but feel some respect for him.

After all, this orchard belongs to that person...

"Yan Yan, you can have fun today, this is all our home."

After putting on the farm tools, Li Ran stroked Yanyan's head. Yanyan smiled and released the hunting swallowtail butterfly, and they ran into the orchard together.

"As for Fatty and Uncle Li, just be careful when you pick apples."

When they heard that Apple had more requirements, Hong Pang and Uncle Li immediately focused their attention, fearing that they would miss anything crucial.

"The apples must be full and round, preferably the kind that is close to the shape of the fruitworms that eat them, and it is best to pick six."

When they heard this request, the word "simple" flashed through everyone's mind for the first time, but when they thought about it carefully, they found something wrong.

You have to know that it is extremely difficult to find someone similar to yourself in a century, let alone find an apple similar to a fruitworm in such a large orchard.

It seems simple but it is actually difficult.

"I'm going to make the materials needed for evolution first. Please keep an eye on Yanyan while you pick them."

"Do not worry."

Hong Pang nodded and released the fruitworm. He needed a reference to find the apple, and the owner was there to help him look.

Li Ran also took a look at the two people's fruit-gnawing worms. They had both been cultivated to the peak of the elite level and were only half a step away from the lord level.

He then called the planting staff and asked them to help find a kitchen.

"First, the honey apple."

Although Li Ran obtained the apple-making formula from the system, he also chose the known evolution formula. Only the evolution method of honey apples was 100% in the previous life. The fruit-eating worm had two stages of evolution and eventually evolved into a honey-gathering snake.

Honey apple literally means an apple with a very high sugar content, but it is very different from the sugar-filled apples of the previous life. The sugar contained in honey apples is difficult for humans to consume and is the type that causes insulin to explode.

The recipe is very simple. It requires honey from three kinds of bees, and the juice of cantaloupe, peach and cranberry. The four must be mixed in a certain proportion.

These things can be found everywhere. Then Li Ran began to put the two kinds of fruits into the juicer, and squeezed five portions of each of the three kinds, leaving four portions as spare.

The color of honey apple is red. If it does not turn red after adding the other three juices, it is considered a failure.

This jam will not penetrate into the apples, nor will it adhere to the surface of the apples after cooling.

In his first attempt, Li Ran failed because he added too much Hami fruit juice, resulting in the honey not being viscous enough and the color not being bright red.

In the second attempt, after gaining experience, Li Ran directly took out a syringe to adjust the ratio, but because the stirring frequency was too low, it solidified before it was completely mixed.

It was not until the third time that Li Ran bought a blender and finally made the honey jam. The moment it was finished, the whole room was filled with the fragrance of fruit, which was not there in the previous times.

Then he made two more portions. Only three apples can be put into this jar of jam. If one more apple is put into it, the energy contained in it will become less, or even insufficient.

The reason why three apples were put in was because the evolution of the fruitworm might cause the apple to not meet its needs, resulting in failure to evolve after eating it. That's why Li Ran asked Hong and Pang to pick six apples each.

Then he started making sour apples.

Sour apples must be sour enough.

Therefore, the materials needed are some of the sourest in the fruit world. Although the preparation method is simple, it has extremely high requirements for the nature of fruit insects, which is that they must be able to eat sour things.

If fruitworms cannot digest the acid, they will have no chance of evolving in this way.

Soon the sour jam was ready, but the moment it was finished, Li Ran's face wrinkled because of the sourness. It felt like he had jumped into a vinegar jar and taken a bath.

The last sweet apple is the easiest. It does not require any jam, but you need to pick an apple with moderate sweetness. However, since the fruit-eating worms have not been found to evolve yet, we know that sweet apples are actually the most difficult to make among the three methods.
