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

In the early morning of the next day, Li Ran woke up before Gardevoir called him.

People like him are like this. When he has nothing to do, he can sleep for more than ten hours unless someone calls him. But once he has something on his mind, his biological clock will become frighteningly accurate.

After eating and drinking, Li Ran took a few elves to the food market again.

Because it was still early, there were few pedestrians on the street, but the uncles and aunts selling vegetables in the food market were already ready for battle.

Li Ran ignored the enthusiastic sales pitches of the uncles and aunts and walked directly towards the management department of the food market.

This management department is different from the previous life. The managers inside are not wearing suits and ties, but are dressed in ordinary clothes. If it weren't for the nameplates in their mouths, it would be hard to tell the difference between them and the uncles and aunts outside.

"Hello, what can I do for you?"

The uncle who had just taken a sip of hot tea looked at the opened door, then stood up and greeted warmly.

Li Ran nodded and sat down on a shabby-looking sofa under his guidance, and then began to explain the purpose of this visit.

When the uncle heard Li Ran talking about Meow Meow, he suddenly realized something and clapped his hands.

"You mean the group of meows that always go to the seafood section to steal fish? I've heard them mention it many times."

"Yes, I wanted to ask if there is anything in the market that we humans can't do. Maybe we can let them help here and give them some food as a reward. This will also reduce the number of cats stealing fish."

Li Ran’s words really hit upon the man’s biggest worry at the moment. The man fell silent, holding his chin and thinking.

"Let me think about it."

Soon his eyes lit up and he snapped his fingers.

"There is one thing that Meowth can help with. As you know, our market is less than one kilometer away from the nearest forest, so there are usually many wild Pokémon that come close to it."

"At this time, we managers are responsible for protecting the safety of the market, but some troublesome guys have come recently."

"Troublesome guy?"

Li Ran looked at the mosquito-repellent swimmer beside the man. It was a lord-level elf. Could it be that what the man was talking about was...

Thinking of this, he subconsciously shook his head. The overall strength of that group of meows remained at the elite level. How could they possibly deal with that group of elves?

"No, it's not what you think."

Seeing Li Ran’s quick rejection, the man knew he had misunderstood and quickly began to explain.

"A few days ago, a group of elves stole some of the grain from our grain warehouse. After repeated inspections, we found that a large hole had been gnawed on one of the walls of the granary. Based on the size of the hole and the teeth marks, we preliminarily determined that it was a group of rat elves."

"If those meows are willing to help, I would really be grateful."

The man sighed when he thought of this. They, the managers, had thought about joining forces to catch the elves in one fell swoop, but those guys were too cunning. They waited for three nights, but the elves did not show up for three nights. As soon as they left, they came out again to commit crimes as if they had agreed beforehand.

But they are very worried.

"Yes, I can help you discuss it with those meows."

Although both are elves, the relationship between cat and mouse still exists, and Meow Meow has a natural deterrent to mouse elves.

"Thank you very much."

The man shook his hand excitedly. They had been taking turns guarding the granary these days, and his hair had fallen out a lot recently, which made his already sparse hair even worse.

Li Ran waited until noon, packed the fish he had bought, and came to the place he had agreed to meet with Miaomiao yesterday.

"Have you been waiting for a long time?"

Seeing Meow Meow standing there anxiously looking at the passers-by around him, Li Ran came to its side and whispered.

"No...no."

Meow Meow shook his head, and was soon aroused by the fishy smell in the bag, and his stomach began to growl.

Li Ran patted his head and suddenly realized what was going on, and started to apologize repeatedly.

He had never expected this day yesterday. Meow Meow and the others seemed to have only eaten one meal a day. He quickly spread the two bags of fish flat on the ground.

"Call out your companions."

Li Ran smiled at it, and it responded with a meow. Then six meows and two cat bosses walked out from the darkness.

Li Ran couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the two cat bosses. He didn't expect that these little guys had two lord-level cat bosses guarding them. No wonder these guys had been wandering in the city for so long and had not yet been tamed by the trainers.

However, Li Ran was a little worried about whether he had enough fish. The two boss cats did not behave as Li Ran imagined. Instead, they let the cats eat first, and only came forward to eat after the fish were left.

"By the way, Meow Meow, can you help me translate for a while?"

Miaomiao turned his head in confusion, put the fish tail in, and nodded.

"I found a task for you at the market. As long as you can complete it, the food market will take care of your food, so you won't have to go hungry anymore."

As Miaomiao listened, his eyes became brighter. He didn't have to go hungry anymore!

"Yeah, I'll go tell them right away!"

Li Ran was a little impressed when he saw the fish bones scattered all over the ground. They were able to eat all the fish meat and leave the bones intact. This was considered some kind of skill.

Meow Meow ran directly to the side of the cat boss. The cat boss slightly crawled forward, and Meow Meow whispered in its ear.

The big cat listened, and looked at Li Ran who was picking up fish bones with his sharp eyes, as if he was considering something. Then he looked at the cats, and a trace of heartache appeared on his face.

Finally, it walked forward and looked directly into Li Ran's eyes. Meow Meow was frightened by its action and hurried over.

"Crack!"

After hearing the reply from the cat boss, Meow Meow finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned to explain to Li Ran.

"Mom, it said yes!"

"That's great, then follow me."

Li Ran looked at them and waved with a smile. The pedestrians on the road were attracted by this scene. Behind Li Ran, several cats and the big cat followed quietly.

When they entered the familiar market, the cats instinctively shrank their necks, but the market managers had already been informed, so when the uncles in the seafood area saw the group of cats, they did not have any extreme reactions.

When he arrived at the marketing department, the man's eyes became more and more excited. The arrival of the two cat bosses was such a surprise to him.
