The origin of elves

In the car going home, while everyone was eating the snacks Qiucheng bought, they discussed how to spend the money they earned this time.

"Qiucheng, did you get rich by going to Joban City? Your new clothes and these not-so-cheap snacks cost a lot of money!" A researcher asked curiously.

"No way, I happened to make a little money. Isn't this just to thank everyone, so I bought some snacks to eat together." At least Qiucheng understood the principle of keeping wealth secret.

"By the way, where does Kurosawa plan to go next?" In order to change the topic, Akunari asked Kurosawa Ryoichi who was eating snacks silently.

"Moon sees the mountain."

What did Nova seem to think of after hearing Yuejianshan? Asked Kurosawa, "I heard that a mysterious stone that allows elves to evolve was recently discovered in Mount Tsukimi?"

"Ah."

There is nothing bad about Kurosawa Ryoichi, but he talks too little. In fact, in the circle of bounty hunters, the news that there is a treasure in Mount Tsukimi has already spread.

Kurosawa also planned to earn the money and then go to Mount Yuemi to complete a task entrusted by others.

Qiucheng probably has a good idea of ​​the Moon Stone, and he even feels that he might consider going to the Moon Mountain in the future. If he digs out the Moon Stone or fossils, he will definitely make money. Big money.

As the afternoon approached, as the truck slowly drove into Zhenxin Town, Qiucheng's heart became restless as it got closer and closer to home. Before the truck arrived at the research institute, Qiucheng jumped out of the car midway.

"Uncle Nova, everyone, I will go home directly. I will wait until I sell my insect slough for money." After saying this, Qiucheng ran towards home without waiting for everyone's response.

Pushing open the familiar wooden door, the person he wanted to see was not in the room. Qiucheng realized that Xiaoyu and Aunt Yazi might be doing farm work at the moment, but it was almost night and it was time to come back, so he sat on the stool Waiting to give Xiaoyu and Aunt Yazi a surprise.

"Mom, my brother said he was only going for a week, should he come back today?" Xiaoyu, who had just returned from the fields, asked Yaozi a little lonely.

"That should be the case, but it's not strange to be delayed for a few days because of something else?" Although Yaozi was comforting her daughter, in fact, Yaozi was also worried about Qiucheng's safety.

When the two walked into the house, Xiaoyu saw Qiucheng sitting at the table all morning.

"Brother!" Xiaoyu, who hadn't even changed her shoes, ran up and hugged Qiucheng.

"Xiaoyu, I'm back, and I'll bring you gifts!" In response to Xiaoyu's hug, Qiucheng took out the gifts he had prepared long ago.

"What is it?" Xiaoyu, who was in a good mood, turned into the girl who dared to be a little savage with her brother.

"Open it and take a look. Also, Aunt Yaozi, this is for you." He said and handed another gift box to Yaozi.

"Thank you Qiucheng, I didn't expect that auntie and I would also get a gift." Yaozi said jokingly.

Xiaoyu opened the package and what came into view was the beautiful pink dress. "It's a dress!" She said and went upstairs to try on a new dress.

Yaozi looked at Qiu Chengyi's new clothes, and then looked at the sportswear of the same style as her own under the skirt and said, "It's a waste of money, these clothes are very expensive."

"It's okay, Aunt Yaozi. I made a lot of money this time." He took out another two thousand yuan and handed it to Yaozi.

"You don't need to give me this much money. Qiucheng is already an adult." Yaozi said happily looking at the money Qiucheng handed over.

"Aunt Yaozi, I still have a lot. This is the only thing I can do for this family. In addition, there is another thing. I want to become an elf trainer and embark on a journey."

Looking at Qiucheng with sincerity in his eyes, Yaozi sighed, "It's very dangerous for you to go out by yourself. It's very dangerous to rely on one-horned insects. Xiaoyu will miss you too."

"Don't worry, Aunt Yaozi. My unicorn beetle has evolved into a giant sting wasp. Now it is very strong. I miss you too during this trip, but not just because of my idea of ​​becoming a trainer. , I also hope that when Xiaoyu is ten years old, she can have her favorite elf."

"Xiaoyu doesn't know yet that you want to leave tomorrow." Yaozi's hands were holding the clothes Qiucheng gave her, and it was obvious that Yaozi's heart was not as calm as he showed.

"I will tell her when I go to bed at night." In fact, it would be great if Qiucheng could take risks together like Xiaozhi and the others in the anime. Unfortunately, Qiucheng does not have the strength to protect others now. Going out for the first time is also to enhance strength and make more money.

"I have no reason to stop you from doing what you want to pursue. Pay attention to safety in the future and come back anytime you want to go home."

After hearing Aunt Yaozi's words, Qiucheng nodded silently.

"Brother, how are you?" Xiaoyu, who had put on her new dress, walked downstairs, looking pretty.

"It looks good. This dress suits Xiaoyu very well..."

During the chatting and laughing dinner, Qiucheng also released the giant needle bee and let it enjoy the night at home. Because the one-horned beetle evolved into the giant needle bee, Xiaoyu also secretly told Qiucheng that the giant needle bee was not as cute as the one-horned bug. . Fortunately, these words were not heard by the giant needle bee.

After dinner, he lay down on the familiar upper bunk again. This feeling of comfort in his heart might be the feeling of home. Afterwards, Qiucheng was mentally troubled for a while, but he still got out of bed and spoke to Xiaoyu, telling her that he would still like it tomorrow. The matter of departure.

To Qiucheng's surprise, Xiaoyu didn't cry or fuss as expected, but just asked in a low voice when he would be back.

"Xiaoyu, the Quartz League is going to be held this year. Maybe I can't participate as a contestant. This is an opportunity. If you wait until the next conference, it will be three years later. If you come back again, my brother will give it to you. I love Pichu!"

Qiucheng did not go back to the upper bunk to sleep. Instead, he was held tightly by Xiaoyu's arms and fell asleep on the lower bunk...

In the early morning of the next day, while reluctant to say goodbye to Xiaoyu and Yaozi, Qiucheng still walked to the Damu Research Institute.

"I will come back if I have the chance."

During this journey, the Styli Bee will try to stay outside to protect itself, so be sure to buy enough elf food for the Styli Bee first, bring supplies, and then embark on the journey.

He pressed the familiar doorbell of the institute again, but at this time Qiucheng was no longer the man who could only rely on Cordyceps to make money. He was grateful for this job, but this time was different from the past, and he needed more money. To cultivate elves and create a better life, he even wants to eat meat.

Nova came out when Qiucheng was thinking about the direction of his life. "Qiucheng, are you here? I just want to give you the money from the insect."

"Sold out so quickly?" Qiucheng was a little surprised.

"Dr. Omu is very interested in insect sloughs, so he bought a lot of them. I see you are carrying a big bag. What are you doing?"

"Uncle Nova, I plan to travel by myself, become a trainer, and then see if I can earn more money. I came here to trouble you and buy some elf food from the Giant Needle Bee at the research institute."

"How much do you want to buy?"

"Half a month of elf food?"

Nova looked at the four thousand yuan in his hand, counted out two thousand, and handed it to Qiucheng. "I'll charge you two thousand, and I'll make you two cans of food for the giant needle bees."

Well, the price of the elf food of the Big Needle Bee has doubled. Qiucheng said that he can accept it. After all, it is Dr. Oak's exclusive formula. The previous elf food also said that the money is not in vain.

"I won't go in. Uncle Nova, just bring it out to me after you're done." Looking at Uncle Nova walking into the research institute, Qiucheng decided to use the waiting time to test something.
