Elves: My Fantasy World

The atmosphere in the institute...

How should I put it? Now it's very special~

Everyone was clearly working hard...but Shen Yu always felt like everyone was watching him...

Shen Yu was clearly just sitting next to Zhuang Su and watching him revise his report...

Zhuang Su glanced at Shen Yu, then stood up, walked to the door and closed it.

Feeling the gaze from outside the door disappear...

Shen Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Shen boy...can I ask you something?"

"You asked."

"Did you already know this would happen?"

. . .

Shen Yu: o_O???

"Mr. Zhuang...what are you talking about? Why is this happening? What is going to happen?"

After Shen Yu finished saying this, he saw Zhuang Su's face with an expression of "I saw you"...

"Mr. Zhuang...what happened?"

"Don't you know it yourself?"

"I don't know? What did I do?"

Ok?

Zhuang Su looked at Shen Yu's ignorant and naive expression...

This guy really doesn’t seem to be acting… He seems to really not know?

"Shen boy, Xiao Mao came back from video calling last night."

"hold head high."

"He said he met the champion deer in the Tropical Four Islands."

Deer Champion?

Oh! It’s what… Lu Minxi, right?

"hold head high?"

Shen Yu tilted his head...

When Zhuang Su saw him like this, his brows furrowed even more tightly.

This kid really seems to not know?

"Through some coincidental communication... Xiao Mao learned that... the current research topic of the Deer Champion Team is the Overlord Aura... So he called me via video and asked me... How did you..."

Zhuang Su didn't say anything else.

Shen Yu: . . .

∑(っ°Д°;)っ！ ！ ！

"Eh!!!"

…………

"Are you sure that's all?"

"Sure! I haven't even been to the outside of Baichuan City, so how can I know what they are researching?"

Zhuang Su pulled at his beard...his entire face was pulled together...

Suddenly! He took a deep breath... and looked at his hand...

White teeth! Pulled out!

Zhuang Su dropped the beard in his hand with some pain, and looked at Shen Yu who was still confused...

Alas...that's right...how could you possibly know other people's achievements?

"By the way, today I asked you to come and get your researcher certificate!"

Zhuang Su opened the drawer, took out a small square, and placed it in front of Shen Yu...

"Take this and you will be a Level 2 researcher at Dongyao!"

Shen Yu picked up...

"Mr. Zhuang... I remember... is there a Level 3 researcher?"

Zhuang Su glanced at Shen Yu and rolled his eyes... as if to say,

Do you know why you are asking for it now that you have obtained the certificate?

"Yes. But we two old men will raise you directly to level two!"

Zhuang Su continued with his work. "With your report as a basis, no one will doubt your ability~"

The corner of his solemn mouth curled up into a smile of an old naughty boy...

"After all...some of the things in your research report...even some first-level researchers can't understand them!"

"Hehehehehe~~"

Shen Yu listened to this "naughty" laughter... and was speechless.

…………

It’s been a while since I talked about the research institute’s pool…

Today, let’s take a closer look.

Oh! Look what we found!

A wild "water turtle"!

He was... um... trying his best to withstand the water cannon of that cute little sea lion on the other side! Exercise the waveguide!

A pink hippopotamus with a large conch shell on its head watched this scene with a shudder of fear...

This person...has become stronger again...

He thought so.

The Hippo King gently raised his head...

Where did that adult find such a talented partner...

This strength... was even better than the last time I saw her...

Now...how far has it grown?

The Hippo King's eyes were fixed on the Squirtle who was gritting his teeth and holding on in the turbulent water...

During this period of time...you have worked really hard!

I guess... after seeing that mosquito-repellent frog king become stronger... you also feel a surge of energy in your heart, right?

The Hippo King closed his eyes and felt it carefully...

Hmm... you also made a breakthrough because of the training during this period~

Congratulations~

I think you need to practice for some more time... and when your state of mind changes... that will be the time for you to evolve!

not to mention……

The Hippo King spread out his hands and looked at the thing that Shen Yu would secretly give him every time he came over...

He has given enough... You must have some results~

The Hippo King thought about it, and also sat cross-legged... and began to train his mental strength...

The inherited memory I obtained...seems to have recorded...

If you want to train yourself to the so-called King level...you should do this...right?

Ball Ball Sea Lion, Kame Squirtle is having fun practicing...

The Hippo King is moving forward with faith...

A small pool of water... gathers so much... the eye of the future storm~~

Province D.

_Yunming City_

_Ranxing Research Institute_

"Xingran, are you going out again~"

An old voice came from the back room of the research institute...

It’s called a research institute…but actually it’s just a small house with a courtyard.

There are no elves living behind the house.

In this small house, there is only an extremely old man... and a young girl who depends on him for everything.

There was no response from the house...

But a petite girl with waist-length black hair walked out... She had a pretty face... but there was no expression on her face.

She... held a clean doll in her arms...

Hearing the shout...she subconsciously looked into the house...

Soon, a response came from the house...

"Really... Come back early and be safe..."

The girl nodded, turned around and walked out the door.

If Shen Yu were here... he would definitely shout...

woc! nazi!

She didn't speak just now... but used telepathy to transmit the words to the inner room...

And the back room...

Ah, there is only an old man here who looks ten times older than Zhuang Su.

Dongyao is the most influential researcher alive today who has the most thorough knowledge of life energy...

He is also the only person in Dongyao who has been granted any research authority by the country!

This includes life energy...

And Xia Xingran who just left... was the child he met by chance ten years ago...

She was... in a state where her super powers were out of control.

That's right... After all, I later learned that her biological parents were afraid of her unstable superpowers... so they abandoned her when she was three years old... leaving her to fend for herself...

But her biological parents didn't know...

At that time, her superpowers were already so strong that... she didn't eat or drink, just absorbed the energy from the air... and then used her superpowers to expel the impurities...

This is enough for her to survive...

But at this time, her superpowers have not yet been fully activated...

until……

That rainy day...

The poor little girl couldn't stand the beating from the gangsters...

Superpowers finally broke out.

Xia Mingshu himself had no idea about the rest of the things... maybe he saw blood... He met Xia Xingran later... yes, in the orange.

Anyway, I will never marry... I have no children...

Look at this little girl curled up in the corner... shivering... I really can't imagine what she looks like when she loses control.

And so, I brought her home.

Xia Xingran couldn't speak at that time... maybe she could speak...

But in the ten years that I have lived with her... I have only heard her speak a few times...

Yes! She spoke! Otherwise, I wouldn't be sure if she would speak.

But most of the time…she communicated with herself telepathically.

When I first came here... I couldn't say that either. It's still the same now, but it happens much less often than before—

Xia Xingran often blew up the machines in the institute because she couldn't control her activated superpowers...

Fortunately, I had some savings from my early research, and those machines were old, so they could be replaced.

Xiao Xingran's expression at that time...ah! That was the first time he saw an expression on the face of this little girl he adopted.

It's guilt.

And...worry? Maybe he was afraid that he would abandon her again...

Even though she has been separated from her parents for a long time...she still longs for care and love deep down, right?

I cycled through the process of frying, breaking, and buying dozens of times...

She was also gradually able to control her own power...

But she showed her expression and spoke less and less...

Xia Mingshu couldn't attribute this to the bullshit theory that "she has grown up"...

But... no wonder...

I'm too busy... I have too little time to spend with her...

If we have to talk about growing up... I'm afraid this girl had already grown up when her biological parents abandoned her?

Anyway... in the past ten years, maybe she has gotten used to not eating...

She seldom eats with herself...

Although my own diet is also irregular, I have no right to criticize her.

Although I was the one who brought her back... But to be honest, I am also ashamed that I did not fulfill my responsibilities as a family member...

I didn’t care about her much… nor did I accompany her much…

Xia Mingshu understood that he might have a place in Xia Xingran's heart now... but only one place.

Xia Mingshu also hopes that there will be someone who can truly accompany Xia Xingran...

It's so hard.

Let’s not talk about whether people can tolerate Xia Xingran’s personality and temper... Even if they can... Xia Xingran probably won’t give anyone the chance to get close to her.

Xia Xingran is sixteen years old this year.

Strength: Master level.

Xia Mingshu understood... He hadn't yet taken into account Xia Xingran's increased superpowers~

In that case...it should be the king level.

Her strength is all the result of her own hard work.

I didn't help at all... or rather...

By the time she realized it, she was already so strong.

She now accepts Alliance missions every once in a while... and earns money for the elves...

The reason why she still stays with me...is probably because I gave her a place to live in the beginning?

We have been together for more than ten years... I haven't seen her interested in anything in particular...

But the most precious thing... anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was the doll in her arms.

Maybe it's because of her super powers? Her memory is exceptionally good.

In other words, the scene of her biological parents abandoning her when she was three years old... is still vivid in her mind.

Even though she may hate her parents...she also holds tightly to the doll that her parents left her.

According to the person who handled the paperwork when I brought Xia Xingran back, her superpowers went out of control because the doll was stepped on by a gangster...

In short, everyone understood that this was the most important thing to her.

I named Xia Xingran myself... and when I named her... she didn't react at all.

But when he called her name for the first time, she actually responded to him through telepathy.

It was also the first time I communicated with her...

She meant—"I'm here, Grandpa."

I didn't ask her to call me grandpa...she called me that herself.

It was that sentence that made this old man firmly believe that... Xia Xingran recognized him... Although he really owed her a lot...

As time passed... Xia Xingran grew taller... but perhaps because she never ate... her figure became really petite.

It can even be said that she doesn’t look like a 16-year-old girl at all now…

How do we say it in modern terms?

Oh! It seems to be called... Loli?

It's probably something similar to that...

If there really is a chance... Xia Mingshu still really hopes that someone can enter Xia Xingran's heart...

I...have already missed the best opportunity.

Moreover... if you want to enter Xia Xingran's heart now... it's probably ten times, no, more than a hundred times, more difficult than ten years ago...

Because I brought her back... but still didn't let her feel the warmth of the world... Now I'm afraid...

Her perception of the world has long been formed...

A look of relief appeared on Xia Mingshu's old face...

If only someone could do it... and it was a boy...

Just entrust Xiao Ran to him...

If someone could really do it...

But...how is this possible...

Xia Mingshu smiled self-deprecatingly.

There is no such coincidence in the world...

Maybe I won't see that day?

Xia Mingshu looked at the window... It was a dark sky outside... He could just see his own face through the window glass...

Am I already that old?

She looked very young ten years ago.

With the way he looks now... even if you say he is Xiaoran’s grandfather... I’m afraid you’d think he’s too old, right?

How much time do I have left?

I really want to see... Can Xiaoran find someone she can rely on?

Xia Mingshu picked up the cup and took a sip... He felt that the water tasted unexpectedly salty...

Putting down the cup, Xia Mingshu looked at the screen.

"A new research result from Xiaozhuang's research institute?"

"The chief writer is actually a kid who just applied for a researcher qualification..."

Xia Mingshu clicked on another interface on the computer...

It’s Shen Yu’s avatar.

"What do you two want to do? You are already old... and you still mention this thing in your report... Even I... rarely touch it now..."

Xia Mingshu's brows tightened... He seemed to realize something...

"Written specifically for me... huh...?"

Wiping the slightly blurry corners of his eyes, Xia Mingshu began to seriously study this debut work of a "youngster".
