The origin of elves

"This is the first mission to be sent out, please check it carefully."

As the beep sounded, Qiucheng looked at his data interface. The task bar read

first mission

Please get your first elf within seven days. The remaining time is 17

Successful mission: Reward 500 system coins and one-time lottery permission

Mission failed: Little Brother can no longer be used!

Li Qiucheng was dumbfounded after reading this. To be precise, he saw in the anime that on the day he turned ten, like Xiaozhi, he could get an elf of his own from Dr. Ohmu. However, Qiucheng, who had merged his memories, I deeply understand that for me, that is impossible.

If you want to receive the Yusan family, which is gentle and has great potential for a ten-year-old child, you need to pay 20,000 alliance coins to the alliance every year after the child is born, until you have paid ten years of fees. And on this premise, they must also ensure their innocence to ensure that these high-potential elves and their trainers will contribute to the alliance in the future.

What stumped Li Qiucheng was not his innocent life experience, but the two hundred thousand yuan. Even if his original parents were still alive, this kind of money would not be available, let alone the shabby Li Qiucheng at this time.

There was a reason why he was lying near Dr. Ohmu's research institute right now. It was because the original body would go to the edge of the nearby forest every morning to pick some cordyceps that insect-type elves loved to eat, and sell them to the breeders at the Ohmu Research Institute.

This business is also a kind of care for Qiucheng by the staff of the institute, because Cordyceps can be found everywhere, and Qiucheng just picks out the relatively tender parts and helps collect them. Although it can be found everywhere, it saves the researchers from having to pick it themselves.

With this small business, Qiucheng, who spent the whole morning cutting cordyceps to sell, can earn 30 yuan a day.

Qiucheng's own small treasury has now accumulated 1350 yuan, and the rest has been used to subsidize the family (just enough to make ends meet).

The mission must be completed. If you want to own an elf, you can only find a way to catch one. But before this difficult capture, Qiucheng still lacks one thing. When he remembered, Qiucheng got up and went to the Oak Research Institute. direction.

Arriving at the side entrance of the institute, I looked at the familiar building and rang the doorbell.

"Qiucheng? Didn't your cordyceps come over today? Is there anything else you need?" A decadent middle-aged man with unshaven beard asked as he walked out of the door.

"Uncle Nova, I have something to ask you for help, that is, I want to buy an elf ball from you."

This middle-aged man named Nova, wearing a white lab coat and with a slight beer belly, is the person who usually buys Cordyceps from Qiucheng. He was also a colleague of Li Qiucheng's parents, so he found a small job for Qiucheng. , now the main job is to help the institute feed the elves.

Looking at Qiucheng, whose clothes were shabby, with a firm look in his eyes, Nova understood.

"Well, Xiao Qiucheng is also ten years old. I do have the elf ball here, but it is very dangerous to catch the elf by yourself. Elves are not something that everyone must have. After all, raising elf also costs a lot of money, little Qiucheng, you need to think carefully," Nova advised.

"Uncle Nova, don't worry, I will only take a look at the edge of the forest. It has been decided."

"Okay then, the market price is 200 yuan. I'll get the elf ball for you." Looking at Li Qiucheng's decision, Nova turned around and went back to get the elf ball.

"Qiucheng, there is a chance of success when the elf ball is used to capture the elf. The weaker the elf, the higher the success rate. If the elf breaks the elf ball, then the elf ball will be damaged, so an elf ball only has one chance. If you do this If you fail this time, just give up." Nova, who came back with the Poké Ball, told Qiucheng again.

In Nova's eyes, Li Qiucheng is just a kid who hasn't grown up yet. He naively thinks that elves are easy to catch. Even if he catches them, the money spent on cultivating them is not something that ordinary people can afford. After all, Li Qiucheng's parents only have a relationship with him as colleagues, and they don't even exchange a few words with him. It is impossible for Nova to give selflessly to someone who has nothing to do with him.

"Thank you, Uncle Nova. I won't be able to deliver cordyceps in the next few days." Li Qiucheng didn't say anything more, then put the money into Nova's lab coat pocket, and took the elf from his hand. After taking the ball, he hurriedly walked towards the entrance of the forest.

After all, only the time traveler knows about the system he possesses. Don’t worry, such an awesome system will definitely become more and more popular soon. But the first task is to conquer the elves. These seven days cannot be wasted at all. After all, the punishment for failure of the task is Li Qiucheng couldn't accept it.

Qiucheng came to the place where he used to pick cordyceps. This was the edge of the forest, but it was already approaching evening. The afterglow of the sun also added a bit of darkness to the forest. Human beings could not survive without the protection of elves. It is very dangerous to enter the forest alone. Not only are many elves territorial, not to mention those elves with fierce personalities who like to attack humans.

When he came here in the past, Qiucheng had the good fortune to see Bobo resting alone at the edge of the forest. He considered that Bobo had a gentler temperament, and if he had the potential to evolve, he would be a very good elf when he evolved into a Bi Diao, and even some in the future. There is still a chance to age evolve and become invincible, so I thought about catching a Bobo as my first elf.

Qiu Cheng, who had not eaten at noon, now felt empty in his stomach. He suppressed his hunger and walked around the edge twice. But today, he didn't even see a single bird feather. The sun was about to completely set. In the forest at night, the danger will be greatly increased. Qiucheng knows that it is time to "go home".

First, he shrunk the elf ball and hid it in his trouser pocket. Then he followed the familiar route in his memory and returned to the door of a two-story house. From the door, the house looked a little shabby due to the baptism of time. Pushing it away didn't count. Qiucheng walked through the thick wooden door and said softly, "I'm back."

The house can be said to be frugal to the extreme. Apart from basic daily necessities, tables and chairs, there is nothing else. The little girl who was sitting in a daze on the chair saw Qiucheng coming back, and quickly responded with a small welcome. return.

Although the girl was wearing a white washed pink skirt, she could not hide her cute little face and attract other people's attention. Her response at this time seemed to be a hasty reply for the sake of politeness.

Only then did Qiucheng realize that the original body didn't like talking to this sister very much, so when he went home, he would just eat and sleep in silence, rarely communicating with her. (Autistic teenager)

The small house on the second floor is not big. The first floor is used as the living room and kitchen, and a small bedroom is also divided as the bedroom of Aunt Yaozi. The second floor is where he and his sister Xiaoyu live, and the overall area is smaller than the first floor. , a large bedroom with a bunk bed. My sister usually sleeps on the bottom bunk, while the autistic man sleeps on the top bunk. The only luxury item in the room is a leather doll on my sister's bed. It is Xiaoyu's baby, and she hugs it every night when she sleeps.
