I'm not an elf supporting character

Chapter 686 Dirty Work
For today's situation.

Li Xiang was already mentally prepared.

After all, as long as a person with a little brain is faced with a situation where his plan is disrupted by an outsider, the first thing he thinks of is to check the other party's background.

After checking the background, according to the identity of the other party, you can choose to issue a notice directly, or invite people to come over for peaceful discussions.

Apart from anything else, the cost of doing it directly should not be too high.

Although there is suspicion of putting gold on his face, Li Xiang thinks that he should be qualified to let others talk to him calmly.

The situation at this time also happened to prove this point.

The three shuttled through the corridor.

With a friendly smile on his face, Li Mingxuan stood obliquely in front of the two, talking to them cordially.

The attitude is very good.

It's a pity that only Li Xiang is willing to talk to him, and Abigail has no plans to interact.

outside the hallway.

There are many elves standing in the distance, looking at this side, there are all kinds of elves, including a snow-white Absol.

Compared with the one in Longdu, his body is slightly smaller, and the meniscus on his head is also shorter.

It is said that you like the Blazing Roaring Tiger?
You have a good eye.

It's a pity that Ah Fu is too young to arouse his interest in the opposite sex.

The final destination is an office.

Through the single-person specification, Li Xiang realized that Li Mingxuan was also a director, at least a deputy director.

This one seems to be younger than Ms. Yin?

Sure enough, leaning against a big tree is good for enjoying the shade.

"Please sit down, please sit down, what do you want to drink? I have tea, drinks and milk here..."

"Don't bother, just water."

"Same."

Li Xiang and Abigail spoke successively.

Li Mingxuan paused for a moment when he picked up the tea pot, then smiled and poured water for the two of them.

Attitude can definitely be said to be full marks.

And after he sat down, he didn't go directly to the topic, he chose to chat with the two of them first, and it was close.

At the same time, he stopped talking just before Abigail felt impatient, and got down to business.

Li Xiang watched silently, and felt that this person had a perfect score in observing words and expressions, and that being a childcare worker was really a waste of talent.

impression.

In fact, he didn't have much ill feeling towards Li Mingxuan.

After all, when he was young, he went to the nursery base every three days. He knew very well that most Pokémon were forced by a group of things, and it was easy to make troubles without human interference.

It is nothing more than that the method is effective or ineffective, or even adds to the chaos.

But it doesn't matter if he has a good impression, he will always stand on the side of the blazing and roaring tiger, and has a firm stand.

Natural and its opposite.

This time I came here mainly to hear what Li Mingxuan could say, just like the villain boss explained his reasons for doing so during the decisive battle.

Abigail probably had similar thoughts, but she didn't seem to have a good impression of Li Mingxuan, and she didn't even drink tea.

"Two classmates, it's like this, we..."

Li Mingxuan was very sincere, and explained the reasons for inviting them here in as much detail as possible, and revealed some inside information.

Li Xiang didn't know how much concealed content there was, but he was inevitably a little surprised after hearing some things.

First of all.

The attitude of the other party is obvious, and I hope they can restrain their Pokémon and stop mixing it up, which is good for both parties.

Second.

Someone once thought about why the situation in the Wudu Conservation Base is so special, and the reason why Qingcheng didn't do this was explained.

——Pilot.

Before any large-scale policy is implemented, it needs a test site to decide whether to promote it.

The Fog City Conservation Base is the first pilot site of the "Measures for the Management of Elf Autonomous Cities".

But this project is not a recent thing.

It can be traced back to the period when the previous director was in office, and it was also proposed by the previous director and actively tested.

So what was the reason for not adopting it in the end?
[The cost is too high].

You must know that most of the funds for the activities of the conservation base come from the funds allocated by the association, and a small part is solved by themselves.

Although the elf organization helps the stability of the city, maintaining their existence is a huge expense.

Why is it expensive?
Because on the one hand, all kinds of Pokémon move freely in the city, and they will more or less cause damage to a certain extent when no one is restrained.

On the other hand, many rescued elves are unwilling to return to the wild after having contact with their own kind and tasting the warmth of the group.

Even if they find a suitable place for them to survive without affecting the surrounding groups, they will run back after being released.

Moreover, they are also very repulsive to human adoptions, and the number of adoptions per year is only in single digits.

The only thing these guys want to do is join organizations and be a part of them.

Then rely on the conservation base to raise.

As a result, these organizations became more and more bloated as the city developed, or as more wild elves were forced or voluntarily entered the city.

Even those Pokémon who were rescued by the rangers or who committed crimes are unwilling to leave!
At the same time, these guys gradually became "civil servants" and got paid as they should.

Behavior is naturally justified. The conservation base pays humans wages, and naturally it also pays Pokémon wages.

The burden on the conservation base will inevitably become higher and higher.

Model replication is difficult, time-consuming, and costly.

Even if the association has given a large degree of tolerance in order to show a cooperative attitude with the ranger alliance, it is impossible to agree to this method.

then.

The whole project was scrapped.

At present, the method that Li Xiang has seen in Qingcheng is used, based on the conservationist field team, and the method of cooperation with Pokémon.

Both the release survival rate and the adoption rate are very impressive, and the cost is also very considerable.

but.

After the plan was scrapped, the Wudu Conservation Base was not ordered to rectify.

Because the former director received the support of the Fog City Association on the grounds of local characteristics, he retained this model.

until now.

So what happened recently?
Very simple.

After the former director retired, Li Mingxuan, as the other party's grandson, believed that this method was feasible, but the method was wrong.

After graduating from university and working in the childcare base, he proposed to the other party.

Reluctantly, the previous director rejected his idea of ​​turning over old accounts and continuing to torment these little elves.

The two had a big fight and broke up unhappy.

last month.

The former director had retired with honor, and Li Mingxuan couldn't help but feel alive after receiving the ambiguous attitude of the new director and Zoroark's help.

he thinks.

The reason for the high cost is that there are too many elf organizations and there is no qualified management method.

It is wrong to let elves be autonomous. Since the other party is active in human cities, how can they not cooperate with humans and do things in their own way?

Furthermore.

There are too many people who are vegetarians.

Many members of the organization are adult individuals, and their strength is not weak. There is no shortage of rations in the wild.

However, due to the ethnicity of each organization, plus the conservation base... or his grandfather's indulgence, they are unwilling to leave and return to the wild.

Therefore, the first step he wants to do is to integrate these elf organizations.

After the integration is completed, reasonable internal planning will be carried out, the organization's charter will be set, and members will be reduced.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he took a step, he was stopped by the Blazing Roaring Tiger and Hei Lujia.

what is this?
Theorists suffered from Waterloo in practice?

Naturally, Li Mingxuan couldn't give up on this. After getting feedback from Zoroark, he immediately came to Li Xiang and Abigail, hoping to get their understanding.

"...my grandpa's plan is just immature, but the feasibility is actually very high. I must justify his name!"

With great ambition, this young man said to the two of them: "I'll let those who look down on my grandfather see that what he has done is not in vain! It is feasible!"

He accentuated his tone, as if trying to persuade the two of them with all his strength.

Li Xiang was moved when he said it.

Unfortunately.

If the method is wrong, no matter how passionate you are, it will be in vain.

"plum--"

"Your purpose should be more than that, right?"

Abigail was the first to speak, with straight eyelashes and a cold face, against the background of wheat-colored skin and short black hair, she looked a bit fierce.

She was carved out of the same mold as her fierce wind speed dog.

And under the pressure of Brother Cha's eyes.

Li Mingxuan smiled slightly, his body relaxed slowly, and he said:
"Of course. I'm not afraid of your jokes. My goal is to become the president of the Fog City Association."

"So you want to use this policy as a springboard to directly enter the management of the association from the conservation base?"

Abigail spoke clearly again.

This made Li Mingxuan look at her in surprise, "Student Abigail is very familiar with this matter?"

"So-so."

Abigail then replied.

Okay.

It turns out that besides being a passionate youth, he is also an aspiring young man.

Li Xiang didn't look down on Li Mingxuan because he had special ideas, on the contrary, he still understood him very well.

Because gaining fame and fortune through elves is a common phenomenon in this world.

It's just that the ultimate goal is different.

If the method he said is really extended to the entire Zhuxia, it will indeed allow him to enter the association.

Compared with directly entering the association, it is much more reliable to spend an unknown number of years inside.

pity.

Still the same sentence, the wrong method is useless.

"May I ask, where did Director Li go to university?" Li Xiang asked.

Li Mingxuan didn't quite understand his willingness to ask such a question, but he still told the other party, "I graduated from Tiandu University of Economics with a master's degree. Compared with the two classmates, I am far behind, so I don't mind mentioning it, haha."

Cultural University...

"Excuse me, how long has Director Li been working? Did you work in the childcare base before going to university?"

he continued to ask.

The question was a little strange, Li Mingxuan couldn't figure out what he was thinking, but he still responded.

At this time, a gentle attitude is more important than anything else.

"Before I went to university, I had been living in Tiandu, and I only came to Wudu occasionally. The working time is less than six years. Hey, by the way, Li Xiang's mother seems to be the director of the childcare base? "

He tried to get close by relying on his identity.

But Li Xiang, who finally figured out the general situation, sighed softly.

"Yes. I grew up in the nursery base, but I haven't been there much since I went to school in the past few years."

Li Mingxuan was very happy to get the response. He felt that Li Xiang should be able to understand him in this way.

but.

"Sorry, I won't interfere with the Blazing Roaring Tigers."

Li Xiang directly showed the chariots and horses, and the smile on Li Mingxuan's face froze again for a few seconds.

Without waiting for the other party to speak, he continued: "With all due respect, Director Li, your idea...is a little too unrealistic."

As soon as this sentence is spoken.

On the contrary, Li Mingxuan, who was about to say something, shut his mouth, showing a posture of listening attentively.

He continued on.

"The first question, you said to integrate all Pokémon organizations. After working for so many years, you must know that some Pokémon are natural opponents. What will happen if you force them to get along with each other? Have you considered it?"

Li Mingxuan said: "Regarding this point, I think it can be changed artificially. Didn't you see a lot of videos of mongoose chop and rice spoon snake getting along with each other on the Internet?"

"That's a product of compromise. Mongoose Zhan and Rice Spoon Snake compromised for the trainer. Who can make them willingly compromise the integrated organization?"

"I believe that as long as it is integrated, there will be a solution, and this is not a problem."

"...Okay, then the second question. Pokémon's behavior style is different from that of humans. Why are you so sure that Pokémon will accept your rules and regulations similar to that of a human company?"

"Humans didn't have rules and regulations at the beginning. I believe that Pokémon are adaptable, and they will get used to it."

"But what if they don't want to? Do you think they will agree to you saying you want to cut members?"

"I don't intend to hand over the integrated organization to Zoroark. When the conservationists step in and do ideological work, they will naturally agree."

Li Mingxuan thought of all aspects, so he could say many things in a smooth manner.

"Any plan is the result of trial and error, and I believe that all difficulties will be solved."

however.

"Oh..." Li Xiang sighed and covered his face.

He understood the difficulty of the Rangers Union.

"I don't comment on your ideas. You also said that you need to test again and again. And all of this takes time."

He said seriously: "But things have developed so far, I don't think you have given the elves time."

In just one month, Li Mingxuan wanted to integrate more than a dozen elf organizations that were operating independently into one.

Limit them at work if you don't want to.

I couldn't be more anxious.

Li Mingxuan wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Li Xiang, "Also, have you considered the feelings of the elves? Have you talked with them?"

As far as he knew, among so many elves, only Zoroark and Li Mingxuan had close contact.

This talented student has not even been to the Pokémon habitat in the past two years, relying on the observation of the camera and his own subjective judgment from the data.

He couldn't believe that there would be such a conservationist in the conservation base.

No wonder everyone says that the world is so big and full of wonders.

"...I admit that this may be my personal negligence. But some things cannot be resolved even through communication, student Li Xiang, you have to understand..."

Li Mingxuan spoke slowly, but was interrupted again.

"No, I don't understand!"

With a hint of anger on Li Xiang's face, he stood up abruptly.

"Excuse me, as the director of the conservation base. How do you manage to maintain a righteous and superior attitude after doing a lot of things without communicating with Pokémon?"

It was the first time he was so angry since entering the door.

Because Li Mingxuan's words just now fully explained what it means to be useless, and he is still complacent about it!
There is a big problem with this guy's attitude towards Pokémon!

What is a real conservationist?
It was Ms. Yin who pointed at his nose and scolded him when he said that he would use the list to pick Pokémon!

It was Su Yiliu who could communicate with a large group of steel-clad crows, scold them like a grandson, and convince them!
He was the one who saw from a young age that he could smile at the gentle Pokémon, and dare to face the violent ones, those who should do it, and comfort those who should be comforted!
This guy?
Even to communicate with Pokémon, you have to push back and forth to find a reason, is it possible?

Possibly you &@!

Li Xiang felt that the nurse in his heart had been desecrated, so when he looked at Li Mingxuan, his eyes were extremely cold.

But the latter didn't know why he had such a big reaction, let alone why he was evaluated as superior.

Stared at by those icy eyes, Li Mingxuan's heartbeat speeded up inexplicably, and he became nervous.

At this time.

"Small thoughts."

Abigail stretched out her hand, guiding Li Xiang to sit down, and then looked at Li Mingxuan, "Director Li, there is nothing wrong with your plan itself, and you are the one who made the mistake."

"I?"

"Yes, you are a pure idealist. You have no theory but don't know how to practice it at all, which leads to many mistakes and omissions in practice. But the one who pays the final bill is not you, but the elves here."

Abigail's word order is very well adjusted, "Your biggest mistake is to underestimate Pokémon itself. Have you considered why your grandpa doesn't agree with you to do this?"

Li Mingxuan frowned, tapped his fingers on the armrest, and seemed a little anxious.

Abigail didn't care about his emotions, and said: "You say that Pokémon cooperates with humans, but in fact, this is just the result of your willful and self-righteousness."

"Even without the Blazing Roaring Tiger and Heluga, your plan will only fail. Because you have never considered the idea of ​​Pokémon."

Her pitch-black eyes could almost see through Li Mingxuan's heart, and it also made him feel even more depressed.

Thinking wrong?

Don't think too much, he can't even listen to his own grandfather's words, how could he be deafened and confused by the words of two students?

He's just trying to figure out how to fix it, because it's clear that the situation is falling apart.

Abigail and Lee wanted to see this, realize that this guy... was hopeless, at least for now.

The two looked at each other, and the latter took out his mobile phone and made a call.

"I'm sorry, I still want you to go out, here..."

Li Mingxuan looked at Li Xiang in astonishment, stood up abruptly, and asked, "Who are you talking to? Association? Mo Tianwang?"

He thought that Li Xiang wanted to use power to suppress him if he disagreed.

however.

Bang!
The door was kicked open!

"Who are you talking to? He's talking to your grandpa!"

An old man who looked benign but with a baseball bat in his hand rushed in!

Behind him was a middle-aged man with a guilty face.

"Grandpa! Director Zhang! Why are you here?"

Li Mingxuan's pupils narrowed sharply, and he quickly stood up from the sofa.

This is naturally what Li wanted to find. Zoroark is not the only one in the world who can call parents, he can do it too, okay?
Now that the Lord has arrived.

They can watch the show on the sidelines.

present.

Then I saw Li Mingxuan dodging the club swung by the old man, seeking help from the middle-aged man while dodging.

"Uncle Zhang! You are pulling my grandfather! He has bad legs and feet, what if he gets hurt?"

"Mingxuan, you once said that you asked me to give you a chance, so I have never asked, hoping that you can change by yourself."

Director Zhang sighed and said: "Now it seems that I was wrong. I indulged you too much and caused this situation. Fortunately, it's still early and there is still time to recover."

"Why are you talking so much, I told you not to fool me around, you just want to do it! I just went to Tiandu for a month's vacation, what have you done to me!"

The stick-wielding old man hated iron but steel pointed at Li Mingxuan with a ball stick, swearing wildly, leaving Li Xiang and Abigail dumbfounded.

This old man is really irritable!

"Grandpa! I did this for you!"

Li Mingxuan hid behind his desk, screaming frantically, "So many people laughed at you back then, I want them to see who is wrong and who is right!"

"fnndp! I don't need you to find out right from wrong! What do you know? If you dig a shit, you will be tired, staring at the computer all day, what can you stare at!"

The old man rushed over with a groan, and smashed the club on Li Mingxuan's leg with a groan.

The guy screamed in pain and jumped around the office on one foot.

The picture is too beautiful.

Just can't bear to look at it.

Li Xiang and Abigail looked at each other, knowing that they don't need to care about it, so they walked outside.

When the middle-aged man standing by the door saw them, he said politely: "Thank you very much for your timely reminder. I finally discovered it before the fog was in turmoil."

These elf organizations have long been inseparable from the fog city itself, so-called influence can affect the whole body.

Let the matter continue to ferment, and no one knows what will happen.

That's why the association agreed to their continued existence back then.

"Excuse me, what are you going to do with him?" Li Xiang asked.

The middle-aged man slowly said: "Resignation, as for legal issues, it depends on other things...Of course, as the director of the Wudu Conservation Base, I also have dereliction of duty, so I will also take the initiative to resign."

"Eh?"

"The communication between humans and Pokémon has a long way to go, and it's not just a matter of fooling around."

The middle-aged man smiled and said: "Being a bridge between humans and Pokémon is not only the belief of rangers, but also the belief of our conservationists."

An embarrassing and ambiguous existence is generally not recognized by the society, but sometimes it is impossible to do without them.

This is the conservationist.

Then.

How did the first conservationists emerge?

It must be those people who can't be rangers, but still love elves very much, and want to contribute to this world, right?
There is no status as a trainer, no wealth as a breeder, no glory as a coordinator, and no respect as a ranger.

Nurseries are just a group of people who work silently in the corners of the city with not-so-high salaries, but are still passionate about Pokémon.

Li wanted to respect them from the bottom of his heart.

"Thank you."

He bowed slightly to the middle-aged man, and left with Abigail who nodded in greeting.

……

It was quiet outside the office.

But not for nothing.

When Li Xiang and Abigail came out, they saw the elves who were divided into two factions.

There are many.

It can be said to be densely packed, and you don't know how many there are at a glance.

But without exception, they all squatted there quietly, restraining the desire to make a sound, staring directly at the irritable old man in the office, unwilling to leave for a moment.

He was too familiar with these eyes, because that's how the Blazing Roaring Tigers looked at themselves.

It is like the admiration of children, the respect of younger generations, and the support of relatives and friends.

The old man is the center of the world.

What kind of achievement is this?
Li wanted to see these elves, and he didn't believe that communicating with them would lead to no solution.

As long as the old man opened his mouth, these elves would do those things without hesitation.

But it is precisely because of this that the old man deplores them and loves them dearly.

I would rather go to the association to make a fuss and ask for funds, and think of all kinds of reasons, but also let these Pokémon survive in the fog.

Because this has long been their home!

The fog city has never been just the fog city of human beings.

"...I'm so envious." Li Xiang couldn't help but sigh, looking at Abigail beside him.

The latter patted him on the shoulder, "You can do it sooner or later."

"really?"

He was very pleasantly surprised, he didn't expect Brother Cha to have such confidence in him.

"of course it's true……"

The two chatted without saying a word, planning to go back to school on a flying mount directly outside, anyway, in the suburbs.

But just before leaving.

Li Xiang stopped and called Abigail.

"Sister, do you think that is the boss of the Vicious Dog Gang?"

He pointed to Zoroark, who was looking into the office like a watchman.

"possible."

Abigail wasn't sure, she hadn't seen it either.

Li Xiang became interested, licked the corner of his mouth and said, "I'll meet him and see how the boss of the Vicious Dog Gang feels... Ah no, the number."

He rubbed his hands together like a fly.

Seeing this, Brother Cha knew that his junior's hobby had revived again, so he followed after frowning slightly.

She was worried that Li Xiang would be beaten.
