Elf, I am really a farmer

Since Zhou Zhiwen went back that day, he took some time to go to the black market.

When buying energy cubes, he pretended to accidentally drop his mask, revealing his appearance.

After that, Zhou Zhiwen waited for a few days and felt that the time was almost right.

He happened to be on vacation that day, so he decided to complete the task that Wenqi asked him to do.

Zhou Zhiwen came to Chunhua Research Institute with two fire energy cubes in his arms, feeling nervous.

From a distance, the building of the institute is tall and majestic. The entire building is silver-gray in appearance, with a full metallic texture, simple and smooth lines, and a strong sense of technology.

Under the shining sunshine, the surface of the building reflects dazzling light, which makes people unable to help but look sideways.

The gate of the institute was closed, and two rows of serious-looking guards stood at the door.

They were dressed in the same black uniform, with upright postures and sharp eyes as if they could see through everything.

Beside them stood several majestic black garurus.

These black garou have shiny black fur and vigilant eyes. They are sturdy, with tight muscles and a strong aura.

The level of each Black Garou has reached the gym level, and their existence is to prevent psychic and ghost Pokémon from sneaking into the research institute.

As Zhou Zhiwen walked into the gate, he immediately felt an invisible and huge pressure.

The guards' eyes were fixed on him like sharp swords, as if they wanted to see through him completely. Zhou Zhiwen couldn't help swallowing his saliva and walked forward pretending to be calm.

Advanced monitoring equipment is installed above the gate, constantly rotating to capture every subtle movement around it.

The walls of the institute are tall and solid, and are equipped with various protective devices, which makes people feel intimidated.

Zhou Zhiwen looked up at the sign of the institute. The big words "Chunhua Institute" on it were shining brightly in the sun.

Zhou Zhiwen slowly approached the gate, and as he approached, the invisible pressure became stronger. The guards at the gate stared at him closely.

A guard frowned and asked seriously:

"Stop! What are you doing here?"

Zhou Zhiwen swallowed his saliva and replied calmly:

"I...I'm here for testing."

The guard looked him up and down and continued to ask:

"What test? Do you have an appointment?"

Zhou Zhiwen hurriedly said:

"Yes, yes, I made an appointment in advance."

As he spoke, he carefully took out the relevant certificates.

The guard took the certificate, examined it carefully, and then handed it back to him, saying:

"go in."

Walking into the research institute, Zhou Zhiwen was puzzled. He didn't understand why he was so nervous when he was just doing a test. It was all Wen Qi's fault.

If Wen Qi hadn't said so much to him and just gave him the energy cube directly without him knowing anything, he would probably have been able to remain calmer.

But now that we know the answer, we can only take it one step at a time.

Zhou Zhiwen walked into the testing center and saw that the room was spacious and bright, with various advanced and complex testing instruments.

A tester came up to us with a professional smile on his face and asked:

"Hello, what do you want to test?"

Zhou Zhiwen carefully took out two fire energy cubes from his pocket, handed them over, and said:

"Please test these two energy cubes."

The inspector took the energy cube, and the smile on his face instantly disappeared, replaced by a look of disappointment. He shook his head slightly and said:

"It's just an energy cube?"

Zhou Zhiwen's heart tightened, and he quickly explained:

"Yes, please check it."

The inspector sighed helplessly and said:

"Okay, although it is of perfect quality, we have seen all kinds of energy cubes here. I don't understand why you insist on testing this."

Zhou Zhiwen smiled awkwardly and said nothing.

As the tester placed the energy cube into the instrument, he muttered:

"Every day there are all kinds of weird testing needs. What's so good about testing this energy cube?"

Zhou Zhiwen stood aside, rubbing his hands awkwardly, not knowing how to respond.

The tester nonchalantly placed the energy cube into the instrument, fiddling with it casually with his hands on the operating table, a look of indifference in his eyes.

He thought to himself, they are just two energy cubes, what's so special about them?

The instrument was running at high speed, and the data kept jumping. At first, the inspector only glanced at the screen occasionally and didn't take it seriously at all.

Soon, the test results came out.

The inspector took a casual glance at it and didn't think anything was wrong at first. In his first impression, it was no different from an ordinary intermediate energy cube.

However, when his eyes swept to the end of the test results, the words "Advanced Energy Cube" instantly exploded in his mind like a thunder.

His nonchalant expression disappeared in an instant, replaced by extreme shock and disbelief.

"How can this be?"

The tester couldn't help but exclaimed, and he hurriedly re-examined the test report.

Zhou Zhiwen, who was standing by, had been staring at the tester's every move. Seeing his sudden strange reaction, he knew that the most critical and fatal moment had come.

Zhou Zhiwen's eyes became more and more fierce, as if he wanted to take in every subtle expression of the inspector. His heart was pounding, as if it was about to jump out of his throat.

But strangely, the more tense the moment, the calmer Zhou Zhiwen became. He knew that any panic at this moment could lead to irreversible consequences.

The inspector stared at the test report intently, carefully checking each value one by one. In his eyes, each data was like a mystery waiting for him to solve.

These values ​​seem high, but are generally still within the normal range for mid-level energy blocks.

But suddenly, an abnormal data appeared in front of him.

It was a data marked as "life energy". Although the value was extremely low, for the knowledgeable tester, the appearance of this little bit of life energy was enough to shock him.

Because of this life energy, the level of this intermediate energy block was upgraded to advanced level.

You know, life energy usually only exists in special natural treasures. But now, it actually appears in such a small energy cube.

"How...how could this happen?"

The inspector muttered to himself, beads of sweat unknowingly oozing out of his forehead.

He raised his head again, looking at Zhou Zhiwen with curiosity and confusion. At this moment, he finally understood why the man in front of him insisted on testing this seemingly ordinary energy cube.

At this moment, their eyes met, and time seemed to stand still.
