Adventurer of the Elf World

Cars, vans, buses, medium trucks, off-road vehicles...

Xiu walked all the way and found that there were a lot of cars here!

Xiaogang seemed to see Xiu's doubts, so he explained from the side: "This is a famous research institute in the Kanto area. The researchers working here are paid very well, and they can afford cars and other things."

As he spoke, Xiaogang raised his finger and pointed at some of the cars and added: "Those are used for missions, and the ownership belongs to the research institute."

Xiaogang took Xiu further inside and saw Dr. Endo directing some people to move instruments and the like to the car, holding a small notebook in his hand to record things.

Most of the people working there were wearing white coats and should be researchers in the institute.

Xiu looked around and found that the one he knew before was not among them.

Xiaogang had already briefly explained the relevant issues when he introduced it to Xiu just now.

The institute is divided into several levels.

The director, two deputy directors, several PhDs, and then his researchers.

The director is responsible for the operation and management of the institute, mainly in matters such as profit and loss and appropriation, and is not involved in research.

The two deputy directors have retired Ph.D.s, but were rehired to take charge. They are usually very free and can do whatever they want. It doesn't even matter if they don't come to work. They are equivalent to being in name only.

Those who really do the work are the doctors and the researchers below.

In fact, many PhDs are affiliated with the institute.

Every doctor has his or her own topic. Some study outside all year round and never come back. Others, like Dr. Endo, stay at the institute and only lead teams when encountering relevant topics.

The Nibi City Research Institute has an official background and is responsible not only for minerals and fossils, but also for the rescue and development of some surrounding ruins.

This time, the Snow Mountain Relics were assigned because they were close to Nibi City.

Conduct preliminary exploration and analysis to see if the ruins have any value.

This kind of thing is generally reimbursed by the alliance, and it is only an early exploration, and there is no danger, so it is still quite popular.

This is considered one of the official things the alliance does.

Of course, if anything is discovered, the alliance will have first-hand information.

Xiu and Xiaogang stepped forward to say hello.

"Hello, doctor!"

"Good morning, Grandpa Endo!"

"Coming!"

Dr. Endo, who was directing the transportation, just glanced at the two people and didn't say much, but there was a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

Why did Xiu hang out with Xiaogang?

Xiu was not curious about Xiaogang's attitude towards Endo.

Because Xiaogang said that he was also under the research institute in name.

Well... To be precise, Nibi Gym has something to do with it.

The institute will receive a sum of money every month, and the gym will provide security services.

And Xiaogang is the guard of the institute, and tasks like this are to fulfill the contract.

After long-term contact, Xiaogang is of course quite familiar with the PhDs from the institute.

Xiaogang greeted several other people in succession, and then joined the team moving the instruments.

The same is true for Xiu.

To be honest, the physical fitness of these researchers is really not very good. With Xiu and Xiaogang joining, the efficiency has been increased by at least half.

There wasn't much stuff, it just filled a compartment the size of a van.

The compartment is connected to the rear of the bus. Judging from its structure, it must have been modified and specially used to hold things.

The things were moved quickly, and the people did not exclude him, nor did they mock him for jumping in line.

Xiuya didn't need to fight back hard, then he could subdue his opponent and receive a wave of adulation.

Fortunately, there was no bloody drama throughout the whole process, everyone was just moving things.

On the contrary, Xiu also got to know the six researchers during this process, and got along quite harmoniously with them. After moving, he even handed them a bottle of water.

"Thank you!" Xiu nodded and smiled, raising the water bottle in his hand slightly to express his gratitude.

"Okay! Come here, everyone." Dr. Endo on the side finally finished counting the supplies and called everyone over.

"You guys pack your luggage immediately and set off in ten minutes." He looked at Xiu and Xiaogang again and said to them, "Xiaogang stays first."

Everyone dispersed. Xiu originally wanted to leave. After all, it seemed that Endo had something to say to Xiaogang, so there was no need for him to stand by.

But Xiaogang stopped Xiu and said to Endo in turn: "Grandpa Endo, Xiu is a very capable trainer. You can talk to him about the route."

Endo glanced at Xiu and nodded, saying: "This is nothing, anyone can listen."

"This time our goal is to enjoy the snow-capped mountains. We need to go to Bohol Town first. The route I chose is..."

Endo took out a paper map, which centered on Nibi City and marked some nearby towns and villages, as well as the routes connecting them.

He pointed at the map and explained some route arrangements, but Xiu didn't know much about the area, so he didn't speak and just listened.

Xiaogang is similar, he has no problem with the route.

The situation is that Endo is talking here, one nods, and the other nods and says yes.

"That's no problem." Endo took the map back and left.

When Xiaogang saw Xiu Zai in a daze, he thought he was worried about something, so he comforted him:

"Don't be nervous. I've been on missions so many times and I haven't encountered any difficult situations. What's more, I have you here this time. It will definitely be fine."

Xiu came back to his senses and looked at Xiaogang speechlessly.

I'm just memorizing the map, so there's no need to place a flag~

Xiu was not panicked at first, but when he said that, he immediately panicked.

No way...

Probably not...

The team gathered and got on the bus. The driver was a very ordinary middle-aged man, nothing strange.

But this driver is also a trainer and carries three Poké Balls.

The bus is very spacious and can seat forty or fifty people, but now there are only ten people on the bus, as well as the researcher's own supplies.

Everyone quickly found a seat and sat down. Xiu didn't know what the rules were, so he followed Xiaogang and sat next to him when he saw him sitting down.

When Xiaogang saw Xiu looking forward, he introduced: "The driver is one of the security captains of the institute. Usually he is responsible for the logistics when we go out."

Security captain...

Xiu looked at the middle-aged man and thought to himself.

It should be one of the preventive measures of the institute, so he said that it was impossible for Xiaogang to be the only trainer, and something would easily happen if something went wrong.

In fact, Xiu discovered that some of those researchers also had Poke Balls, so he didn't know what their level was.

"Okay, everyone, sit tight and fasten your seat belts." The driver shouted before starting the car.

And Xiu and his party will also sail to Bohol Town.
