Elf, I am really a farmer

The footsteps of the two people echoed in the empty space, appearing particularly clear.

Dr. Chu Feng walked in front, his steps were steady and powerful, and every step exuded an irresistible powerful momentum.

Zhou Zhiwen followed cautiously behind, his head lowered, his heart filled with anxiety, as if he was heading towards an unknown and terrifying place of judgment.

They came to a quiet office.

Dr. Chu Feng pushed open the door and walked in first.

The layout of the office is simple and elegant. A large solid wood desk is placed steadily in the center of the room, several filing cabinets are neatly arranged against the wall, and there are several pots of lush green plants dotted around, adding a bit of vitality to the entire room.

Dr. Chu Feng sat down calmly on the chair behind his desk, raised his hand and pointed at the chair opposite, motioning Zhou Zhiwen to sit down.

Zhou Zhiwen sat down slowly, leaning forward slightly, and clenched his hands tightly together, his knuckles turning white from excessive force.

Dr. Chu Feng leaned back in his chair, staring at Zhou Zhiwen with a sharp gaze, and slowly said:

"Tell me, where did you get this energy cube?"

Zhou Zhiwen's heart suddenly tightened, and after hesitating for a moment, he said, "Doctor, I bought it on the black market."

Dr. Chu Feng sneered: "Black market? Do you think I would believe it? Do you think it's reasonable for such a precious thing to appear on the black market?"

Zhou Zhiwen bit his lip and insisted, "Doctor, I really didn't lie to you."

Dr. Chu Feng was silent for a moment, then suddenly stood up and paced back and forth in the office.

"You have to know that this matter is of great importance. Life energy appears in energy cubes. This is an unprecedented discovery. If you don't tell the truth, the consequences will be beyond your ability to bear."

Dr. Chu Feng's voice was low and stern, as if carrying an invisible and huge pressure.

Zhou Zhiwen lowered his head, not daring to look into Dr. Chu Feng's eyes. Beads of sweat kept rolling down his forehead, one after another.

Dr. Chu Feng stopped, sat back in his chair, and said:

"I'll give you one more chance, think about it carefully."

In fact, Wen Qi and Zhou Zhiwen had discussed this before. Originally, Wen Qi planned to let Zhou Zhiwen meet Dr. Chu Feng and tell him about his situation as soon as possible so that he could come into Dr. Chu Feng's sight and then the two of them could get in touch smoothly.

But after listening to it, Zhou Zhiwen felt that this was not a good idea.

Sometimes, things that are too easy to achieve can make people suspicious.

You know, for a person of Dr. Chu Feng's level, there have always been many dark organizations trying to kidnap him, so Dr. Chu Feng is extremely cautious in his daily actions.

Therefore, it is best not to reveal everything directly, otherwise people will think that your purpose is too obvious.

After listening to this, Wen Qi had to admit that Zhou Zhiwen was right. Zhou Zhiwen also had rich social experience, which helped him a lot this time.

So at this moment, facing Dr. Chu Feng's questioning, Zhou Zhiwen did not directly tell him the truth, but first used the black market reason to fool him, in order to show that he seemed to want to cover up something.

At this time, Dr. Chu Feng obviously no longer believed what Zhou Zhiwen said about the energy cubes being purchased from the black market.

Zhou Zhiwen felt that the time was almost right, so after hesitating for a while, he spoke.

"Dr. Chu Feng, I know that those excuses I just gave won't fool you, but I still can't tell you that the person is my friend.

These energy blocks were given to me by the other party to cultivate Pokémon.

I originally thought that they were just some mid-level energy cubes. Although they were of perfect quality, I didn't expect that the Pokémon's strength would increase so quickly after eating them.

I was worried that the other party had added something bad to the energy block, so I came here to test it, but I didn't expect that my friend would be so nice to me.

He is willing to give me such precious life energy, so I definitely cannot betray him. I hope you can understand, Doctor."

After listening to Zhou Zhiwen's explanation, Chu Feng also fell into silence.

What Zhou Zhiwen said does make some sense. Betting out a friend is against moral principles, and he cannot refute that.

However, Chu Feng was really curious about the person who could make this energy cube containing life energy.

His brows were slightly furrowed, his eyes narrowed, and he kept thinking about Zhou Zhiwen's words in his mind.

The atmosphere in the office became solemn again, and time seemed to have frozen. Chu Feng sat on the chair, tapping the table with his fingers, making a rhythmic "tap tap" sound that was particularly clear in this quiet environment.

Zhou Zhiwen was nervously waiting for Chu Feng's response. He would steal glances at Chu Feng from time to time, his eyes full of uneasiness and expectation, trying to catch a clue from Chu Feng's expression.

After a long while, Chu Feng finally broke the silence. He took a deep breath and said slowly:

"Zhou Zhiwen, I understand what you said. Friendship and trust between friends are indeed crucial."

Zhou Zhiwen breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart was still hanging in the air.

Chu Feng continued:

"However, such talents are really rare. When you go back, please ask your friend if he is willing to contact me. The decision is up to your friend, and you only need to convey my intentions."

Zhou Zhiwen nodded quickly and said:

"Okay, Doctor, I'll ask when I get back."

Chu Feng's expression was serious, and he continued:

"Also, you must tell your friends that they must never give this kind of energy cube to anyone else. Once the life energy contained in it is discovered by someone with ulterior motives, he will be in extreme danger."

Zhou Zhiwen said solemnly:

"I understand, Doctor. I will convey your words to him word for word."

Chu Feng stood up, walked slowly to the window, looked at the scenery outside the window, and said thoughtfully:

"Finally, tell your friends that I am very eager to communicate with him. Perhaps we can have a deeper discussion and cooperation in this regard."

Zhou Zhiwen said: "Doctor, I remember it."

Chu Feng turned around, looked at Zhou Zhiwen, and said:

"Then you go back first. Remember, this matter must be handled with extreme caution."

Zhou Zhiwen nodded again and said:

"Doctor, don't worry, I know the seriousness of the matter."

Afterwards, Zhou Zhiwen left the office.

Chu Feng looked at his departing back, his thoughts still tangled in a mess.

He knew very well that this mysterious person who could make special energy blocks might bring unprecedented major breakthroughs to his research.

But he also understood that he must fully respect the other party's wishes and never force them.

Chu Feng sat back in his chair, crossed his hands over his chest, and fell into deeper thought.

He was looking forward to Zhou Zhiwen bringing good news, and at the same time he was carefully planning in his mind how to carry out the subsequent cooperation if the other party was willing to contact him.
