Elf, I am really a farmer

General Zhou's face was gloomy at this time, his eyes were burning with anger, his teeth were chattering, and the room seemed to be filled with a depressing atmosphere.

However, General Zhou was a veteran after all, and had been working in the underground organization for many years, so he soon calmed down.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and after thinking for a moment, his mind suddenly became clear:

"It's probably because there are too many things in this transaction. Maybe it's because there are not enough raw materials, but more likely it's because they are afraid of themselves. They don't want to provide themselves with too many resources, which will increase their strength and threaten the other party."

Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a complicated smile, and his evaluation of Wen Qi in his heart increased a little:

"It's really not that simple. It seems that I need to pay more attention to this young man Wen Qi."

He turned to Zhou Zhen who was standing beside him and said:

"Okay, now that things are like this, let's just leave it at that. Grab some energy cubes and start training your Pokémon. After all, strength is still the only thing that matters in this world."

His tone regained its former dignity and calmness, and there was a hint of determination in his eyes.

When Zhou Zhen heard his father's words, he understood what his father meant.

He walked silently to the table and took away some life energy cubes. He left the advanced ones untouched, and took about one-tenth of the elementary and intermediate ones each.

His movements were swift and efficient, and he hurried off with a determined look in his eyes, intending to work hard to improve both himself and his Pokémon.

General Zhou was the only one left in the room. He looked quietly at the advanced life energy cube on the table and fell into deep thought.

After a long time, he slowly came back to his senses, and the fighting spirit rekindled in his eyes.

He stretched out his hand, took away all the energy cubes, and strode towards the Pokémon training ground. The air seemed to still linger with the solemn atmosphere of his thinking.

After the transaction was successfully completed, Wen Qi returned to the farm. His tense nerves finally relaxed and he let out a long breath.

He had to pretend to be cool every time he made a deal, which was really difficult for him.

After all, he is a gentle person deep down, like a salted fish who just wants to bask in the sun quietly.

If it wasn't for the purpose of avoiding being bullied by others in the transaction, why would he be willing to disguise himself like this?

Those who traded with him were not easy to deal with, and he knew that if he did not act ruthless and tough, he would suffer losses in the transaction.

This was exactly the reason why Zhou Zhen was confused. He had previously felt that Wen Qi was an extremely gentle and friendly person. But when it came to the transaction time, why did he become so cold and ruthless, like a completely different person?

After returning to the farm, Wenqi regained his old rhythm of life.

Sometimes he would focus on the training of Pokémon, and when he saw the little guys like Armstrong, Nura, and Scorpion working hard and growing in the training ground, his eyes would reveal a gratified light;

Sometimes he would carefully make energy cubes. On that small workbench, he would concentrate on mixing various materials with a focused and serious look;

Sometimes I completely relax myself, enjoying the leisure time like a lazy salted fish, lying on the grass to bask in the sun, or strolling in the farm, feeling the tranquility and beauty of nature.

His life seems ordinary, but also relaxed, like a soothing pastoral idyll, playing slowly in the long river of time.

Meanwhile, at Dr. Chu Feng's research institute, earth-shaking changes have taken place over the past month.

New buildings rose from the ground and were successfully completed. Brand-new laboratory buildings and research facilities were neatly distributed in the institute.

Various advanced instruments and equipment have been added like mushrooms after a spring rain. They sparkle with metallic luster and exude the breath of science and technology, as if silently telling the vigorous development of the institute.

With these changes, the area of ​​the institute has also increased significantly. Now it has the scale and momentum that a special-grade research institute should have, and has truly become a solid fortress in the field of scientific research.

In the research institute, four king-level trainers were like four shining stars, guarding four directions respectively.

They stand tall, look serious, and have sharp eyes. They are always alert to every move around them, as if they can react instantly to any disturbance and protect the safety and tranquility of the institute.

The semi-champion Han Tianlong sat in the center of the research institute. He was like a towering mountain, calm and majestic, and his powerful aura seemed to be able to suppress all evil spirits.

He is always ready to provide support all around. As long as there is a need, he can strike as quickly as an arrow from a bow and resolve the crisis with his outstanding strength.

However, although the institute has expanded in size and its defense force has been significantly strengthened, a new set of problems has arisen.

The increase in staff led to a sharp increase in management difficulty, and the entire institute became more chaotic and disorderly.

Dr. Chu Feng also deeply felt the weakening of his control over the institute. He often frowned and paced back and forth in the corridors of the institute, his heart full of worry.

He knew very well that the institute was now like a huge ship sailing in a rough sea.

Although it seems extremely solid, the chaotic internal management is like a reef hidden in the dark, which may cause the giant ship to run aground at any time.

However, it is fortunate that this is Dr. Chu Feng's private research institute after all, and the main middle and senior leaders are all appointed by him personally, which enables him to barely control the overall situation in this chaos.

Although the scale and resources here may be slightly inferior to those official special research institutes, it is free of many of the official intrigues and factional disputes.

In the official research institute, although the space is large, the equipment is abundant, and the personnel are of high quality,

However, there are many factions within the organization, and they are fighting openly and secretly, and they often quarrel over the competition for resources and power. They are far less free and easy than Dr. Chu Feng.

But Dr. Chu Feng's research institute is not without troubles.

Since this is currently the most likely place to obtain super evolution stones in large quantities, it naturally attracted countless greedy eyes.

Many forces are eyeing the super-evolved stone in the research institute, trying to get a piece of the pie.

However, it is precisely because there are so many people staring that a delicate balance is formed.

These forces are all aware that under the watchful eyes of the public, no one dares to use illegal means easily, let alone rashly send out champion-level Pokémon to snatch.

After all, Dr. Chu Feng is now a champion trainer. If they don't use champion-level Pokémon, they can only send out quasi-champion-level forces at best. But to challenge with such strength is tantamount to hitting a rock with an egg, and it will only be a waste of life.

The semi-champion level Pokémon are extremely precious resources for any force, and losing one will be an unbearable loss.

In comparison, the value of an ordinary Mega Evolution Stone seems insignificant.

Therefore, in most cases, these forces would at most send out King-level Pokémon to fish in troubled waters, and more often they would use Gym-level Pokémon to conduct some small-scale probing and harassment.

Because there are so many of these gym-level Pokémon, they wouldn't be too sad even if they lost one, and if they were lucky enough to get a Mega Evolution Stone, it would be a huge profit for them.

So, during this period of time, Dr. Chu Feng's research institute seemed calm, but in fact there were undercurrents.

Although no major events occurred, small things happened one after another, like ripples on a calm lake, filling the entire institute with a lively and tense atmosphere.
