Adventurer of the Elf World

Or you can go see what fun things there are in those places now.

Xiu took out the atlas again and called up the map function.

This map does not have the ability to automatically locate, it just scans in some sorted maps.

So if you want to use it, you still have to do it manually.

After a moment of judging his current location, Xiu put away the atlas and continued to walk towards the forest...

Along the way, Xiu really felt the unique environment of the wild. As he went deeper, there were more traces of elves appearing, but they were limited to some extremely ordinary elves.

It was completely opposite to the situation in games and animations where a lot of elves popped up with every step.

At the beginning, there was a little excitement, but as he walked, it became a boring progress. There were only trees and grass around, and the smell of humus was particularly obvious.

But Xiu was mentally prepared for these, and he didn't show much emotion.

Silently hurrying on the road, Xiu sometimes squatted down to carefully examine the various strange traces on the ground, and sometimes gently stroked the leaves of weeds on the roadside. He showed a leisurely feeling in it.

Pallet Town, Oak Research Institute

"Xiu! It's almost twelve o'clock, why don't you go cook..." Dr. Oak, who was busy with research, stood up and said casually.

But he paused before he finished speaking, as if he remembered something. Dr. Oak looked back at the familiar seat, but there was no trace of anyone on it. Looking at the computer, Qianyang was also not there.

For a moment, an indescribable feeling spread in Dr. Oak's heart.

In the end, he could only smile bitterly and shook his head, self-deprecatingly saying: "No wonder you kid insisted on taking Qianyang and Xiaochun away. I really can't take care of them."

Dr. Oak put down the things in his hand and went out of the institute to the warehouse.

Walking into the warehouse, Dr. Oak looked at the materials and tools that had been sorted out and was quite emotional.

There was no trace at all~

Pick up the task that was dropped again and walk around the backyard.

The elves in the backyard were in a very good state under Xiu's care.

It must be said that Xiu's ability is not very strong, but it is the most suitable. He handles everything in an orderly manner and does not need him to worry too much.

I was a little hungry, and after being busy for a while, I felt even more hungry.

Dr. Oak returned to the kitchen and found the box he hadn't seen for a long time, but a note on it caught his attention.

[Eat well, the food is ready in the refrigerator]

Dr. Oak walked over with the note and opened the refrigerator. It was filled with various vacuum-packed vegetable packages, each with vegetables and meat, and the note on it also wrote the processing method.

The operation is simple, just blanch it and it can be served with rice.

Dr. Oak took out a package and looked at it in surprise. I have to say that this method is very innovative.

But when he got to the stove, he found a small notebook.

Open it, and there are more than a dozen recipes on it. The operation is simple. You just need to do an experiment and stir-fry the ingredients according to the steps.

A large amount of food is prepared, just pack it like he did and put it in the refrigerator for a while.

Just take a package for eating.

It can be said that it took a lot of thought for Dr. Oak to eat well.

Dr. Oak couldn't help but smile when looking at these things.

Xiu is always able to come up with something new~

I don’t know how long this walk will take, but it’s getting dark, and Xiu has to prepare to find a shelter to spend the first night in the wild.

He found a relatively tall tree and climbed up, then observed the surrounding environment. Suddenly, Xiu found a strange forest not far away, which was one level lower than the surrounding area and seemed a bit out of place.

Driven by curiosity, Xiu headed in that direction.

As soon as he approached Xiu, he saw traces of crawling on the ground. Following this trail, Xiu soon found the elves living in this forest.

Xiu looked at several Paras on the treetops. This kind of elf is like a cicada larva with a few mushrooms growing on its back.

And these mushrooms are also called Cordyceps sinensis, which has the effect of prolonging life.

But these are only one-sided statements. It is hard to say whether the mushrooms really have any effect, but Xiu knows that the spores on it are very useful and good for the body of the elves.

This is not a conclusion drawn by Xiu alone, but there were related records hundreds of years ago, and some people in modern society have also studied it and determined its effect.

The spores of Paras do have a good effect after processing. Xiu has also used this material, but it is very expensive.

The reason is that this thing is also detrimental to Paras. It will not release spores for no reason. At the same time, it can only be released by itself, and it cannot be forced, because there are other spores mixed in it. If it is forced, it will only mix various spores, including poisonous spores, which will kill people.

This characteristic also saved Paras from extinction. Doesn't he know what humans are like? Such huge benefits will drive everyone to hunt for spores and mushrooms.

An example is the endangered green onion duck because of its delicious meat and its own side dishes.

Paras has a gentle personality and does not have a strong desire to attack, so Xiu dares to approach it and observe it slowly.

The body is orange, with three pairs of legs, the first pair is larger and has sharp toes, and there are five granular protrusions on the forehead. Paras' eyes and black eyeballs are very large, and the mouth has six teeth separated on the left and right. Two red mushrooms with light yellow spots are parasitized on its back.

Xiu also found a problem. The size and number of mushrooms parasitized on each Paras are different.

Take the ones in front of him as an example. The most have two mushrooms on their backs, but some have only one, and some have three.

Xiu has not found more than three so far, and there is another problem. Xiu originally thought that the ones with three mushrooms on their backs would be smaller, but the actual situation is the opposite. The ones with three mushrooms on their backs are the largest and look the strongest.

What is the reason for this problem? Isn't the Paras body and mushrooms a parasitic relationship? Why does it look like a symbiotic relationship?

Even though Paras is docile, it is also a wild Pokémon. When it senses Xiu approaching, it also starts to move.

But its movements are very slow and its body looks a little stiff.

Xiu saw that he had alarmed Paras, so he quickly released Casey, wanting to communicate with them in exchange for some spore powder.

"Talk to them." Xiu released Casey, and then told it the problem, and wanted to exchange elven rations for spore powder.

After listening, Casey floated to one of the Paras.

While Casey was talking, he was not idle, taking out elven rations from his backpack and putting some in front of Paras.
