Elf, I am really a farmer

When Wen Qi saw that the Sly Mantis leader was so easy to talk to, his previous little thoughts instantly popped up again.

He had been thinking about whether he could trick a few Sly Mantises back, but he felt that the Sly Mantis leader was so aloof and might be hard to trick, so he had been planning to give up the idea.

However, at this moment, he found that the other party was actually quite gentle, so his little thoughts became active again.

Forget it, just die, just say it directly!

"Dear Scyther Chief, I have a request. I wonder if you can take some Scythers to work on my farm."

When Sly Mantis heard this, he was stunned. Why did he suddenly take the other Sly Mantises away?

Wen Qi looked at the leader's puzzled expression and quickly explained:

"I'm a farmer. The fruits on my farm are about to mature. My farm is large, so I need some powerful Pokémon to patrol.

I particularly admire the handsomeness and strength of the Scythers, and feel that they are particularly suitable to work here."

"I don't need them to be too strong, just over level 30 will do. I can provide them with food and arrange training for them. I'm also a high-level breeder."

"They only need to patrol the farm every day, and don't have to worry about anything else. They can come back anytime if they miss home, and their freedom is absolutely not restricted."

This time, Scyther finally understood Wen Qi's meaning. After thinking about it carefully, he found that this seemed to be a good thing.

Since his own child already followed him, he wasn't worried that Wen Qi would abuse the old Scyther.

In addition, Wenqi is also an advanced breeder who can provide training and, most importantly, food.

This is what wild Pokémon care about most.

If you think about it this way, isn't this just like going out for training, with food and lodging provided, and at most just some patrolling?

If you calculate it this way, it’s quite a bargain.

However, it still asked the giant mantis some questions.

After all, he is his own child. Although there are some difficulties in communication between them, Mantis still answered these questions seriously.

The giant mantis did not exaggerate just because Wen Qi was its master, it just spoke the truth.

After having a general understanding of the situation, the Sly Mantis leader called the surrounding gym-level Sly Mantises to discuss together.

Wen Qi consciously left this area and did not eavesdrop on their conversation.

The leader on the side repeated to these gym-level Scythers what Wen Qi had said before and asked for everyone's opinions.

Although some people were reluctant to agree, it was the leader who agreed.

Besides, the number Wen Qi wanted was not much. Compared with the more than one hundred Sly Mantises in the territory, it was just a small fraction.

Finally, it was decided to send out eight Scythers, whose strength was approximately level 30-40, and whose qualifications were all yellow. As for those with green qualifications, they were reluctant to send them away.

When Wen Qi found out about this, he didn't mind. After all, he wasn't trying to tame these Sly Mantises. He was just going there to work and help out.

As long as you have enough strength, it will be fine.

Soon, it was evening. Wen Qi estimated that he could not go back today, so he could only find a place to set up camp here.

The giant mantis had been sent back to the small world by Wen Qi to recuperate a long time ago, and it was really exhausted today.

Just when Wen Qi was busy setting up camp, the five Sly Mantises that had been defeated by the Giant Mantis before came over.

It was the Molu moth that first discovered it and quickly called Wen Qi over.

Wen Qi saw them and said:

"Are you here to look for the giant mantis? Sorry, he is still recuperating and can't see you now, but tomorrow is fine. How about waiting until tomorrow?"

But Wen Qi guessed wrong, and the five Sly Mantises shook their heads in unison.

This made Wen Qi a little curious. If he wasn't looking for the giant mantis, could he be looking for himself?

The leading level 43 Scyther looked at Wen Qi and said:

"I heard that you are the trainer of Megalania. Can you tell us how Megalania evolved and why its strength improved so quickly?"

When Wen Qi heard that the person was looking for him and asked these questions, he suddenly felt overwhelmed.

Evolution is fine, but such a rapid improvement in strength is my secret and I absolutely cannot tell them.

They looked at Wen Qi for a long time without answering, thinking that Wen Qi was unwilling to speak, and suddenly they all showed a lost expression.

At this time, Wen Qi said:

“The reason why the giant mantis was able to evolve was because it used a metal film prop.

This thing is relatively rare in the wild, but some can still be found in the human world."

"After evolution, your racial stats won't increase, only your attack power will increase, your speed will slow down, and you will be four times more restrained by the fire type. I don't think you will accept that."

When the five Sly Mantises heard the consequence, they looked at each other in bewilderment. They had never expected that even after evolution there would still be so many shortcomings.

At this moment, the smallest but most clever-looking Sly Mantis discovered something was wrong.

"That's not right. Didn't you say that the speed would slow down? But even though the previous Scyther was stronger than us, its speed was much faster than a normal gym-level Scyther."

After hearing this question, the other few also recalled the speed of the giant mantis before. Indeed, not only did it not slow down, but it was even faster.

Wen Qi felt his scalp tingling as they stared at him. He quickly said:

"That's how normal evolution works. I use a very rare special metal film that's fireproof and reduces the weight by half. I also add some props to make it even lighter, so the speed is so fast."

"These things are very rare even in the human world, so don't even think about it. I don't have a second copy anyway."

When I heard that there was no hope, my excited mood instantly subsided.

Just when Wen Qi thought they were all right, another Sly Mantis said:

"Wenqi, can we go to the farm with you? We want to receive your training, is that possible?"

Ah! Wen Qi was shocked when he heard this. They actually wanted to follow him. His first feeling was not surprise but shock.

If the Scyther leader knew about this, he would think he was abducting the backbone of his tribe.

These five young Sly Mantises are all relatively young, well-developed, and elite in strength, making them the hope for the future of the tribe.

If Wen Qi really took them away, and if something went wrong in the future, the Scyther clan would likely face the problem of a lack of successors.

Therefore, Wen Qi felt that it was impossible for him to be taken away.

After looking around, Wen Qi was relieved and breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately no other Scythers heard it.

Said:

"It's not that I don't want you. You are the future of the tribe! The leader will definitely not let you go with me, so don't think about it. It's getting late, you all should go back."

The five Sly Mantises looked at each other in bewilderment. Only then did they suddenly remember that, just as Wen Qi had said, their leader would definitely not let them pass. Immediately, they all wilted like eggplants hit by frost.

At this time, the sky was getting darker and it was really not a good idea to disturb them any further, so they could only leave Wenqi's camp dejectedly.
