Why is my elf so weird?

"Maple Leaf Store Manager? Why are you here?"

Xin Yun was very surprised. Maple Leaf appeared beside him almost silently. There was no sound of footsteps as he walked. No, even his breath didn't come out.

"It's just on the way." Maple Leaf spread his hands and explained.

"Okay, let's get back to the topic. It was not convenient to talk about it in the store before, but now no one can explain it."

Maple Leaf's expression was still indifferent, calm and unnatural: "Jiang Bowen, born in 1976, is a fifth-level researcher, that is, a Ph.D., and now teaches at Jinling University. He has a very high reputation in the industry. He developed the virtual System, you should know what a virtual system is. The virtual elves and skill simulators in those advanced training rooms are developed through the virtual system developed by Jiang Bowen. Jiang Bowen’s research has brought great significance to elf training. progress, and as a result he is also respected by many in the industry.”

Listening to Maple Leaf's story, Xin Yun nodded. It was indeed true. Virtual elves and skill simulators allowed elves to improve their strength better and faster. It was considered a cross-generational invention at the time.

But that doesn't make it to the point.

What does Jiang Bowen's invention of these things have to do with his eye on Soraya?

Maple Leaf read Xin Yun's thoughts as if she could read minds. She continued to explain: "The virtual system is something that Jiang Bowen developed after being inspired by the Zoroark family, but because there is no Zoroark, The detailed data of the Yak Family's 'Phantom', the virtual system he developed has never been perfect...at least that's what he thought. Over the years, he has been inquiring about the whereabouts of the Zoroark Family, and has also commissioned many trainers. Capturing the Zoroark family in the wild has been unsuccessful so far.”

"Until he heard...the new king of Jin Jing No. 1 Middle School, the beginner elf was Zoroa..."

"So he came to me, right?" Xin Yun has figured out what happened. In order to improve the virtual system, she wants help from herself and Soraya?

This is not a serious matter, and it is no loss to myself and Soraya.

So why do Maple Leafs remind themselves to be careful?

"Researchers are a group of creatures with very strange brain circuits, especially those doctors who don't care about anything for research. How do you know whether his research will have any impact on your Soraya." Maple Leaf said this. It was as if she had experienced these things herself.

The corner of Xin Yun's mouth twitched slightly, feeling that her family might have been a little offended. Her missing old mother was a doctoral-level researcher...

"Anyway, I can only remind you so much. I'm leaving now. See you another day." Maple Leaf glanced at the time on the watch, said to Xin Yun, and then left with light steps.

Looking at Maple Leaf's leaving figure, Xin Yun fell into thinking for a while.

Why... Now I don't feel weird when such an inexplicable guy appears around me...

Could it be that I have met too many strange people and have become accustomed to them?

For some reason, Xin Yun couldn't help but recall Maple Leaf's strange scarlet pupils.

hiss……

It always feels like I've seen her somewhere before.

It should be... just an illusion.

perhaps.

……

It was already late when I came back. After the three elves went to bed one after another, Xin Yun also took a shower and went to bed.

The next morning, it was not the alarm clock that had been set in advance that woke him up.

But a phone call.

The sleepy Xin Yun got up in a daze and waited for a while before picking up the illustrated book on the bedside table.

It was an unfamiliar phone number. Xin Yun stared at the phone number and thought for a while. Then she suddenly thought of something and took out the business card she got yesterday from the bedside table.

Sure enough, it was the call from Dr. Jiang Bowen.

No...how does he have his own phone number?

After a slight hesitation, Xin Yun answered the phone: "Hello, are you Dr. Jiang Bowen?"

A response came quickly from the other end of the phone: "Yes, yes, you are Xin Yun, right? Yesterday I checked the student files of Next Middle School and found your phone number."

"Is that so..." Xin Yun frowned slightly. It turns out that a doctor has such great power. He can actually check student files directly.

"So, doctor, why are you looking for me?" Although she knew that Dr. Jiang Bowen's purpose was probably to ask her Soraya for help, Xin Yun still asked out of politeness.

"Is such that……"

The conversation opened and Jiang Bowen began to explain eloquently.

Overall, it was almost the same as what Maple Leaf told Xin Yun yesterday, except that there were a lot more technical terms, which gave Xin Yun a headache. If Maple Leaf hadn't explained Jiang Bowen's purpose to him clearly in advance, Xin Yun might not have been able to understand it. .

"So I hope to ask you for help. It doesn't need to be anything big. I just need you to come to my laboratory in the afternoon. Of course, it will be paid, whether it is resources, money, or rare elf eggs."

"Sorry, I'm not interested. The doctor should find someone else." Xin Yun shook her head and rejected Dr. Jiang Bowen. She inexplicably wanted to find her own elf for experiments. Xin Yun couldn't take the risk, and besides, Dr. Jiang Bowen proposed Xin Yun is not unfamiliar with these rewards, "If there is nothing else, then I will hang up."

"Wait...wait a minute!" Seeing that Xin Yun was about to refuse, Dr. Jiang Bowen's tone on the other end of the phone suddenly became a little anxious, "My virtual system is based on the fluctuations emitted by a cluster of purple crystals. This cluster The purple crystal emits the same energy as the Zoroark family, I think this thing will definitely help your Zoroa!"

Will it really help? Dr. Jiang Bowen didn't know either. He could only act like a dead horse and take a gamble.

But this time lady luck seems to be on Dr. Jiang Bowen’s side.

This really impressed Xin Yun.

The purple crystal Dr. Jiang Bowen talks about... don't think much about it, it's the phantom crystal.

Phantom Crystal... This is an extremely rare, unknown, and non-renewable resource... It is of great help to the Zoroark family...

"Dr. Jiang Bowen." Xin Yun's tone became slightly more serious, "I want to confirm whether your research will have a negative impact on Soraya."

"Definitely not! I don't want to do research on your Zoroa, I just need to collect data on the phantom energy fluctuations on it!"

"..."

Xin Yun held her chin and began to think.

Dr. Jiang Bowen looks very honest, and has a good reputation in the industry... What he said is credible... and there is a phantom crystal... What's more, even if Dr. Jiang Bowen has evil intentions against Xin Yun's Zoroa, so what? …

Just a researcher.

Is it possible that he can still do it better than the giant sting wasp that can suppress the king-level elves?

After weighing the pros and cons, Xin Yun made a choice.

"Okay, doctor, please make an appointment."
