The rise of new forces of elves

"Miss Ryoko, it's an honor to meet you. Just call me Lichuan."

Faced with Ryoko's sudden self-introduction, Carikawa was stunned for a moment and then responded politely. He subconsciously wanted to extend his right hand, but found that Ryoko's hands were in his pockets.

Calmly lowering his right hand naturally, Lichuan used the topic just now to deflect this little embarrassment.

"Miss Liangzi, I can understand your analogy, but what I want to know is, are these things rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, boron and other elements sure to be eaten by trumpet buds and not turned into the soil? "

Liangzi glanced at Lichuan with dark circles under his glasses, and asked calmly, "A rookie trainer who has never been to an elf-related school, has no parents or teachers to teach him, and doesn't usually read books?"

Lichuan opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Although what Ryoko said was true, when it was said in such a tone, Carikawa felt as if he was doubly hurt.

Before the blond young man Ajie, who was interrupted by Lichuan from talking to his childhood sweetheart and crush, could feel depressed, he heard the conversation between Lichuan and Ryoko, and immediately came to Lichuan with a bright smile.

"Guest, I'm really sorry! Ryoko is not good at talking, so please forgive me!"

"Did I say something wrong again?" Ryoko reacted belatedly and bowed to apologize again, "Then Lichuan, I apologize to you, please don't mind."

Looking at the expression on Ryoko's face as if nothing had happened after she stood up, Lichuan's mouth twitched, feeling that he had met an honest girl?

Looking at Ajie who was still smiling apologetically, Li Chuan could only say that these were indeed childhood sweethearts.

"I'm not angry." Li Chuan probably knew how to talk to Ryoko and said directly to her, "I'm just curious. Did I miss the point in the question?"

Ajie breathed a sigh of relief. He was worried that Ryoko would say something that would make ordinary people uncomfortable, so he quickly replied, "I heard Ryoko say this."

"Although the trumpet bud's physical characteristics can be regarded as a plant, it is an elf after all!"

"Even if the roots of the trumpet buds are not rooted into the soil, they can still get all the nutrients the body needs by eating."

Lichuan, who had gained a lot of knowledge, nodded, but then realized that Ajie's answer seemed to be the content of the previous question, but there was no explanation for the question he just asked.

Faced with another question from Lichuan, Ajie laughed and wanted to perfunctory it again, but Ryoko couldn't help it.

"Generally speaking, it should not be difficult for people who are interested in elves to understand such basic content as found in children's encyclopedias..."

When he heard the word "Children's Encyclopedia", Lichuan probably knew how low-level the question he was asking was.

With a blush on his face, Lichuan decided to go to the library to buy some basic knowledge books about this world later.

"His! His!"

When the atmosphere was awkward, Trumpet Bud's cheerful cry saved the situation.

Lichuan couldn't wait to turn his head and saw the straight and forked roots of Trumpet Bud, spinning around on the table as if dancing ballet. However, Trumpet Bud's feet stayed in place and twisted themselves after a few turns. It became twisted...

"Pfft~" He laughed out loud at the stupid look of Trumpet Ya. Lichuan quickly suppressed his laughter and asked, "Have you chosen Trumpet Ya?"

"Whoosh!"

The twist-shaped trumpet bud nodded up and down, sprouted a vine whip, and turned around several times on top of the clean tasting plate before pointing to the grid in the lower left corner.

Ajie came up to look at the marks on the inside of the grid and gave a positive reply, "Guest, this is the food I recommended to you before. The price is 299 yuan per can."

"sure?"

"I can guarantee this. After all, I don't want to be complained by customers and have my salary deducted~"

Lichuan nodded and looked at Ryoko again.

He remembered that Asuke had said before that this food was made by his childhood sweetheart, Ryoko.

"What's the matter?" Liangzi keenly noticed Li Chuan's gaze.

Lichuan was still very curious about the breeders, a group that was almost on par with the trainers.

But it was the first time I met Liangzi, so it was hard to talk too deeply.

Just as he was about to shake his head, Lichuan suddenly thought of something rather curious, and followed Ryoko's words and said, "It's not a big deal, but it's just a little strange. There doesn't seem to be any energy cubes for sale in the store?"

Watch x2!

Lichuan laughed dryly. Even though he guessed that his perception of being a time traveler seemed to be somewhat inconsistent with reality, he had to bite the bullet and continue.

"It seems...what's the problem?"

Putting out his hand to cover Ryoko's mouth, Ajie took over the task of solving Li Chuan's doubts.

Considering that Carikawa did seem to have a serious lack of understanding of elves, trainers and other related matters, Ajie adopted a metaphorical approach.

"If the elf food we sell in our store are just ordinary dishes, then the energy cubes are high-end supplements. Normal street restaurants will not sell these things..."

"Then what's the reason?" After understanding the situation, Li Chuan simply broke the pot and threw it away. He didn't care how the two people slandered him in their hearts. He wanted to find out this matter thoroughly.

Taking two steps back to avoid Ajie's seal, Ryoko pushed up her glasses and said, "I should know more about this than Ajie, but I can help you make up for it."

"As we all know, er, you may not know, Carikawa, that the main raw material for making energy cubes is 'tree fruit' - a name that is different from ordinary fruits."

"There are many types of tree fruits, but they also have some common characteristics. For example, the planting conditions are harsh, the growth rate is slow, and the fruits are few. The rarer the tree fruits, the more obvious these points are."

"Even though many people are trying to change these situations, very few are making progress."

"To sum up, the effects of tree fruits are remarkable, but the quantity is very small. In addition, there are many people in the world who are not short of money, so the price of tree fruits has remained high."

"The raw materials are so expensive, so the price of energy cubes will naturally not be low. Our store specializes in the low-end market of elf food, so naturally there are no energy cubes..."

Li Chuan found that as long as there was no evaluation involved, Ryoko who spoke calmly was quite likable.

However, Li Chuan felt that his face was not thick enough for him to keep in contact with the two of them for the time being, "I'm really sorry for taking up so much of your time. Ajie, give me four cans of the food you mentioned. Go check out now..."

……

Carrying a handbag on each side, Lichuan returned to the apartment.

His room has been cleared out by He Meiqing.

The furnishings in the room are clear at a glance. There are no other objects except the bed, table and chairs.

Putting the elf food in the handbag against the wall, and placing a pet rice bowl with Trumpet Bud's image on the table as a gift, Lichuan came to the living room after opening the window to let some air in.

The room was very quiet, and Kazumi's room was closed. Lichuan probably went out to do some work.

The firm's business is bleak. If Hemei wants to make more money, he can only work harder to find business.

Thinking of this, Lichuan frowned slightly.

Before coming to Dark City, I learned from Qingmei that Kazumi seemed to be developing well in Dark City. Carikawa originally thought that he could use Qingmei's relationship to develop well in Kazumi.

After the results came, I learned that what Qingmei thought was all false...

So, I had to rely on myself for everything.

However, even Kazumi would find it difficult to live alone in the Dark City accepting commissions. Naturally, Lichuan would not be so naive as to think that he would be able to do better than Kazumi by then.

Realizing that running a single gang might be difficult, Li Chuan's mind couldn't help but become more active.

"Perhaps, I have to take some time to visit those two gyms..."
