Elf, I am really a farmer

After a long time, he sighed softly, slowly raised his head, and looked at Zhou Zhen in front of him with complicated eyes.

Zhou Zhen watched Wen Qi fall into deep silence, and his heart became increasingly nervous and flustered.

His lips trembled slightly, and he wanted to speak several times to break the suffocating deadlock, but he didn't know what to say.

Finally, his voice became hoarse and dry, and he said with a hint of pleading:

"Boss Wen, I...I know this request is a bit abrupt, but we are really sincere.

Our family has encountered a bottleneck in the process of breeding powerful Pokémon. We have no other options but to resort to this last resort. Please consider this."

As he spoke, he leaned forward even more, almost standing up from his seat. Beads of sweat on his forehead slid down his cheeks, his eyes were full of pleading, and his hands were rubbing restlessly on his legs.

Wen Qi took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

He slowly loosened his clenched fists, and the coldness in his eyes faded a little, replaced by a scrutinizing look.

He sat upright, his hands folded across his chest with a serious expression, making it difficult to guess his true thoughts.

Then he said in a low and serious voice:

"Boss Zhou, do you know that this life energy is not an ordinary thing? Do you know how much trouble it will bring if you make such a request? Why are you so sure that I have it?

Are you still so eager to get it?"

Wen Qi stared at Zhou Zhen closely, not missing any change in expression on his face. That gaze seemed to be able to penetrate Zhou Zhen's heart, giving him an invisible sense of oppression.

Zhou Zhen was a little frightened by Wen Qi's sharp gaze, but he still answered bravely:

"Boss Wen, you are well-known in the field of Pokémon breeding. We have made inquiries and heard that you may have unique resources and methods.

Our family is facing some difficulties right now, and we urgently need this special energy block to enhance the strength of our Pokémon, so I took the liberty to come and ask for your help."

As he spoke, there was a hint of panic in his eyes, but he still pretended to be calm and continued to rub his hands restlessly on his legs, trying to relieve the tension in his heart.

After listening to this, Wen Qi knew in his heart that what Zhou Zhen said was all lies.

He thought to himself, "How long have I been a senior breeder? I'm not as famous as he says. This is a really bad excuse."

After a long while, he sighed again and slowly said:

"You go back first and let me think about it. This is not something I can decide right now. How about this, you come back tomorrow and I will give you an answer then whether I agree or not."

When Zhou Zhen heard this, he was disappointed, but he also knew that he couldn't force it at the moment.

He could only nod helplessly, slowly stood up, straightened his clothes, bowed slightly to Wen Qi, and turned to say goodbye.

Wen Qi looked at Zhou Zhen's departing back, his brows still furrowed, with worry still lingering in his eyes.

Then, he slowly closed his eyes and fell into deep thought, thinking about how to deal with this increasingly complicated and difficult situation.

After Zhou Zhen left, Wen Qi did not stand up to see him off. He just whispered a few words to the almost doll and asked it to take Zhou Zhen out.

Wen Qi was still sitting alone in his original position, and the air in the room seemed to become oppressive because of his solemn expression.

His brows were furrowed, his eyes were deep and focused, as if he was trying to sort out the complicated thoughts in his mind, and he was lost in deep thought.

Wen Qi knew very well that the matter of life energy would be revealed sooner or later, but he did not expect that the forces behind Zhou Zhen would come knocking on his door so soon.

He thought to himself that if the recent matter of the super evolution stone had not distracted the attention of all parties, they would have probably arrived earlier.

When he thought of this, a trace of barely perceptible anger flashed in his eyes. After all, those people who were suspected to be related to Zhou Zhen had attacked him before, and it was not so easy for him to forget it.

He couldn't help but snorted in his heart: "Humph, they must have sent people to attack me before. These guys are really greedy."

As he spoke, he unconsciously clenched his fists, but the anger only flashed for a moment, and soon he loosened his fists, and the anger on his face gradually faded.

He continued to ponder in his mind:

“Although they had some intentions towards me before, I was fine after that fight, while they were the ones who either died or suffered heavy losses.

Looking at it this way, I also got a lot of top-level Pokémon as sparring partners, so it’s not a loss at all.”

Wen Qi raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a slightly self-deprecating smile, leaning back in his chair, his hands casually placed on the armrests, with a hint of indifference in his eyes.

His eyes then fell on Hua Beibei's Poké Ball in his hand. Wen Qi gently stroked the Poké Ball, and his eyes became much softer.

He whispered to himself, "This Hua Beibei is not bad. Accepting this gift is also a gain. Well, since they have come to me and want to make a deal, I will just make a deal with them."

He nodded slightly, as if making up his mind.

Then he began to think in his mind:

"I can just trade with them the defective products made from the fruits of the trees on the farm. Although they contain life energy, the amount is not much.

Besides, if I refused, they might harass me in other ways, which would be even more troublesome.

Besides, even if they get the life energy cube, it will take several years for them to break through to the champion level.

By then, in a few years, I will have produced a lot of Pokémon at the champion level, not to mention a master level. Why should I be afraid of them?"

Wen Qi thought about it, a glimmer of confidence flashed in his eyes, he sat up straight, folded his hands on the table, and the expression on his face became a little more relaxed.

“By trading with them now, I can also take the opportunity to ask for something I’ve always wanted.

Let them help me collect those rare Pokémon. They should be quite powerful. This way, I might be able to achieve my goal of collecting all 18 attributes."

Thinking of this, Wen Qi couldn't help laughing out loud, with a hint of joy in his voice and his eyes full of anticipation.

After figuring this out, Wen Qi was in a very good mood, and his previous annoyance and distress had long since disappeared.

He stood up slowly and stretched his stiff body, making slight crackling sounds from his joints.

Then, he walked briskly towards the direction of the small world, muttering, "Let's go see the round land shark and the newly harvested Hua Beibei."

His brisk pace and joyful expression seemed as if the problems that had just troubled him no longer existed. At this moment, his heart was full of longing and expectation for the future.
