Why is my elf so weird?

maple leaf.

A very strange name.

In this world, there are very few people whose last name is "Feng"...

But it's not too strange for such a surname to appear on a person from the elf world.

Maple Leaf chatted with Xin Yun for a while, and then another customer came to order, and Maple Leaf also turned around and started busy.

Xin Yun held the cup and looked at the coffee in it, thoughtfully.

Next time, bring the giant sting bee...

……

Xin Yun rarely goes to coffee shops, and rarely sits in coffee shops for a long time.

Before that, he didn't really understand those people who liked to sit in coffee shops all afternoon and work in coffee shops. He thought that the same effect could be achieved at home.

But I don't know if it's because of the environment of "Mystery Country", Xin Yun feels that sitting here, her whole body and mind are relaxed, and there is always an inexplicable sense of security, and she can even relax her mind and enjoy a moment of tranquility.

"Mystery Township" seems incompatible with the noisy city outside. There are obviously no regulations, and Maple Leaf has not set up a sign saying "No loud noises." However, the customers who enter the store are infected by the atmosphere here and try not to speak loudly. This may be a manifestation of herd mentality, but Xin Yun is more willing to believe that it is the influence of the environment here.

In such an atmosphere, Xin Yun felt that time passed quickly, because sitting in front of the bar, she could chat with Maple Leaf every few minutes. Just sitting like this, an hour passed in the blink of an eye. Even Xin Yun didn't realize that so much time had passed.

"I've been sitting here for a long time, do you want anything else?" Maple Leaf finished delivering another drink, returned to the bar, and asked Xin Yun who was in a daze.

Xin Yun came to her senses and realized that the coffee in the cup had bottomed out.

"No need...it's already very late. Drinking more coffee will make you sleepless."

"Is that so?" Maple Leaf nodded, didn't ask any more questions, and started busy again.

But this time, she did not deal with the work at hand quietly. While making the next drink, she whispered to Xin Yun: "That Zoroa is your beginner elf, right? It looks like it was raised Very good.”

"Ah?"

"Well...Zoroa is a very rare elf. Just look at Jinling City. You may be the only trainer who has Zolla...and there are no more than five at most..." After saying this, Maple Leaf paused and turned his head. , the strange red pupils stared at Xin Yun's pupils, "So, you have to take good care of it..."

Xin Yun's brows raised, but his expression calmed down again the next moment. He wanted to turn around and glance at the guests, but was interrupted by Maple Leaf.

"Don't look back."

Xin Yun understood.

Maple Leaf is hinting, she is hinting at something...

Just inside the store, someone was eyeing Soraya.

"It's getting late. I'm going to close. You can pack up and go back." Maple Leaf finished making a cup of coffee and turned over the "Opening" sign in front of the counter. The other side of the wooden sign printed "Closing" "Revealed.

Then Maple Leaf handed the cup of coffee to a customer, returned to the bar, pulled down a rattan next to the bar, and a crisp wind chime sounded.

Hearing the sound of wind chimes, the customers in the store understood it and knew that "Mystery Country" was closed, and they were preparing to leave one after another.

"Here, keep it." Maple Leaf found a coupon and handed it to Xin Yun, "Come again next time."

After taking the coupon, Xin Yun's lips moved.

Isn't this the coupon I just handed over?

"You spent a total of 58 on this meal. I'll charge you 29 and I'll pay you." Maple Leaf said to Xin Yun while taking off her white work clothes, revealing the slightly cool outfit hidden under the work clothes.

Putting the coupon back into her pocket, Xin Yun took out her illustrated book, opened a certain WeChat payment code, and let Maple Leaf sweep away twenty-nine.

Qinglan's recommendation is indeed worthy of trust.

Not only is the atmosphere inside the store great, the drinks taste great, and most importantly, they’re cheap.

Elf desserts are not cheap. In many dessert shops, they cost tens or even hundreds of dollars. In "Mystery Country", they only cost fifty-eight with the coffee set...

Are Maple Leafs really here to make money?

Xin Yun didn't know, and he didn't ask. He took Zoroa back with the Poké Ball and left the Mystery Country.

What Xin Yun cares more about is Maple Leaf's reminder to herself.

Who could be eyeing Soraya...

Is it a poacher hiding in the crowd?

It doesn't seem to be the case.

Because...this person has already come to the door.

When Xin Yun walked out of Mixiang, she had just walked a few dozen meters when she heard someone calling her from behind: "Young man in front of you, wait...wait a minute!"

Xin Yun stopped and turned around to look.

I saw an old man in casual clothes rushing towards Xin Yun with awkward legs and feet.

The old man ran to Xin Yun, panting, and it took him a while to regain his composure: "Huh... ha... Sure enough, being young is good, there is no way I can catch up..."

The old man wore very simple casual clothes, had gray hair, and wore glasses. He looked gentle.

"Old man, what do you want from me?" Xin Yun asked the old man.

"Look at my memory, I almost forgot about it." The old man, who had calmed down, remembered the business, "Young man, I just saw it in the store. Your elf is a Zoroa, right?"

Xin Yun raised her eyebrows lightly, and she became alert unconsciously: "Yes."

Is this old man eyeing his Soraya?

Is he a collector of rare elves? There are many such collectors in this world, who spend high prices to buy rare elves from trainers. If this old man really planned to spend money to buy Zoroa away, Xin Yun would just turn around and leave.

The old man was about to say something when he suddenly remembered something and glanced at his watch: "I have to go back... then, young man, this is my business card. If you are free later, please call me and we can discuss it in detail on the phone. Bar."

With that said, the old man handed a business card to Xin Yun and ran away.

Looking at the old man leaving, Xin Yun was still in a daze.

Really, so baffling...

Xin Yun lowered her head and looked at the business card in her hand.

Professor of Jinling University...Level 5 researcher...Dr. Jiang Bowen...

clam?

Not a poacher, not a collector, but a PhD-level researcher?

Why would a doctor target his own Soraya?

Do you want to study the ecological habits of elves like Zoroa or something else?

"Jiang Bowen is the developer of the virtual system."

Just when Xin Yun was thinking, a woman's voice suddenly sounded from behind Xin Yun. Xin Yun was startled, turned around and took two steps back, and then looked at the woman intently.

The visitor turned out to be Maple Leaf.
