This elf world is kind of weird

Chapter 239 A Blockbuster

The encounter with the evolved person was just a small episode. After a few joking and half-serious chats, Filio, who slipped away quietly, went straight to Miare Pokémon Mall without stopping.

A long shopping list that he had prepared before coming was waiting for him to turn it into physical items one by one in this largest material trading center in Carlos.

Although the energy cube maker has experienced a bumpy journey and ultra-intensive use, it is still smooth and silky to use, perfectly in line with the durability of Sinnoh products, but it still needs to be repaired by the manufacturer - after all, it is under warranty, even if It's unscathed and it's good to take care of it.

High-level skill discs cannot be left behind, such as the siege of the wind fairy, the flame vortex of the violent flying dragon, the roar and shadow clone of Emperor Nabo, and the wave missiles and reverse scales that Xinlinbao has not been able to comprehend, although the quantity requirements are not High, but without exception, they are all high-quality skills that can enrich tactics during travel and actual combat.

It is also a disc with recorded skills. From the material to the Pokémon's own understanding of the recorded skills, as well as their strength, there will be a huge difference in quality and price between the seemingly indistinguishable small discs.Philio, whose wallet has finally become fuller, will naturally not use the economical and practical method of the previous two years, and the quality must be maximized.

You can't work hard to educate yourself, otherwise you will be irresponsible to these talented little guys in your family.

Not to mention, a large number of attribute gems and attribute enhancement items must be purchased to support the increasing training expenditure of the seven Pokémon.

Hard training requires not only a firm will, but also precious resources that can be supplemented at any time and are more direct than energy cubes.

Every powerful Pokémon is a gold-eating beast. This is never an empty statement.

It is an easy thing for a trainer who aspires to become a strong person to go from having a lot of money to having a bare pocket.

Even... Sometimes accumulating some debts moderately is not something that cannot be considered.

After a busy day, until the mall was about to close, Filio, who had repeatedly compared and shopped around, had only completed less than one-third of the planned purchases.

The beaming dream monster and the wind fairy float together in the air, swaying, exuding the pleasant fragrance of green grass.

Big Mouth Baby and Sun Eevee walked below them, also smiling heartily, but not just because of the training resources, but because of the new accessories hanging on their arms and tails respectively - precious materials in the store, Filio's ingenuity The two little guys are particularly satisfied with the manual operation.

Behind them is the diligent emperor Nabo.The considerate big penguin and Filio carried large and small shopping bags together, full of the calmness and reliability of the leading brother.

But it wasn't the only one, even the little dinosaur Xinlinbao, who was looking left and right, had two small paper bags hanging around his neck, which contained the snacks he bought for dinner, making his mouth water.

I don't know if I can support it until I can return to the hotel smoothly, but it's okay even if I can't, there are more in the shadow space of the little dream monster, leaving enough redundancy, even if the seven little guys perform at a super level Absolutely can't finish it.

The group who returned with a full load did not go to the Rose Plaza where the players' hotel is located, but went to the hotel where they stayed when they participated in the championship, and enjoyed the familiar VIP treatment.

Only Tyrannosaurus could only sleep in the Poké Ball because of its "too scary appearance and easy to cause chaos". It protested a lot, but it didn't help.

After all, this is a fact. If such a big guy appears on a crowded street, within 10 minutes, Miss Junsha will probably ride on a wind-speed dog to kill him and invite him to drink tea.

However, as a small compensation for not being able to participate in group activities, Filio still made it his favorite barbecue with his own hands. By the way, he gave him a whole set of evening body massage.

Judging from its somewhat smug expression, this may be the real purpose of the protest.

The competition is approaching, and the big test after the trip will soon begin. In the luxurious suite, Filio and his friends are not in a hurry or nervous, and are enjoying their time happily.

But for many people who are also in Miare, this may be a sleepless night.

For example, the ordinary players who are nervously waiting for tomorrow's single-elimination qualifiers in Rose Square.

For example, the engineering team working overtime at the Miami Arena to conduct the final inspection of the arena.

For example, Junsha and the Union police officers worked overtime to maintain the city's law and order during the conference.

Especially the firefighting captain who was transferred from other positions for countless times to support, Philio's old acquaintance, Miss Kenya Junsha.

For another example, living in a hotel not far from Filio, two "outstanding women" who are vigilant against each other and observe someone's every move in two adjacent rooms, are full of childlike jealousy.

In the brightly lit city that never sleeps, there are many stories that unfold while Philio is resting.

The most lively and chaotic qualifiers of every conference will take place in a few hours.
-
On March 3, more than half of the chaotic qualifiers had been carried out, and most of the contestants with varying strengths and good luck had been eliminated.

In order to compete for the place to advance to the main match, the final competition is unfolding in an extremely fierce way.

"Hu Di, the last phantom light!"

On the No. 4 arena in area C, the girl in the white hat waved her hand vigorously, and a dense rain of light circles poured out, bombarding Ghost Stone in front of her.

"Boom boom boom boom..."

Amidst the continuous explosions, Ghost Stone, who was already at the end of his crossbow, flew backwards and fell to the edge of the field, completely losing consciousness.

"Ghoststone has lost the ability to fight, and the winner is Hu Di! In the fifth round of qualifying, the winner is Bilanqi from Fengxu Town! After five consecutive victories, she won the stage leading to the top 64. Qualifications!"

Passionate shouts came from the loudspeaker on the high platform, and the surging sound waves instantly spread throughout the venue.

On the big screen, the unscathed golden fox stood quietly behind the smiling girl, with a reserved expression, neither happy nor sad, in stark contrast to his trainer.

Blanqi, who has a shockingly low sense of presence, can only experience the feeling of being noticed by everyone on such occasions. As the saying goes, rare things are precious, and she cherishes them very much.

The only fly in the ointment was that the friend who had agreed to meet at the conference did not show up.

"Hmph... That guy Philio really didn't come to the venue. I watched it several times. He actually dared to underestimate me. I will make him look good when I meet him."

While smiling and waving to the camera, Brilliant whispered to Hu Di.

"Suo~ Nansi!"

Before the words were finished, the restless Guowen Weng jumped out of the poke ball and responded loudly.

But whether it was intentional or a miscalculation of the distance, it rushed out rashly and bumped into Blanqi's waist, knocking her who was pretending to be reserved far away and almost falling to the ground.

As the girl ran away with her pretty face flushed, bursts of good-natured laughter erupted from the audience.

At the entrance of the player tunnel, two staff members in black suits were already waiting for Blanche who was about to leave after finishing the game.

"Hey... I've already said it, nothing will happen, these guys...!" Looking at the alliance staff who are facing the enemy, Bi Lanqi, who is well aware of her previous "excellent reputation", although Whispered in a low voice, but didn't say anything, and obediently disappeared into the long and narrow passage.

At the same time, in the distant Baike City, Ge Jihua, who had finished his official duties for a day, was sitting in front of the TV with a few apprentices, watching with great interest the performance of his new but very interesting disciple.

Light laughter echoed in the planetarium-like gym.

Not far from Blanche's arena, in the temporarily designated area A, another battle has reached its final stage.

The hearty young man had a hearty smile on his face and a relaxed posture, listening to the cheers and shouts of the audience in the stands.

Opposite him, the slightly gloomy and thin young man was not so at ease. His brows were knitted together, and large beads of sweat slid down his cheeks, falling to the ground and breaking into countless petals.

Their demeanor reflects the real situation on the field.

The majestic Heracross was like a god of war who descended into the mortal world, invincible. With a wave of his hand, he knocked down the bronze bell opposite him, rendering it unable to fight back.

Although due to time constraints, the young man named Qiao did not successfully complete the scheduled tour of the Eight Avenues Pavilion, but he won the unanimous approval of the seven pavilion owners including Ge Jihua, and he was also unmatched by the opponents in front of him. .

After a short fight, he opened his slightly closed eyes and looked at the two traveling companions in the corner of the stand. With a smile in his eyes, he ordered loudly: "End the game, Heracross, the final super horn fight!"

"Hey!"

With an angry roar, the huge One-horned Immortal exuded a frightening aura. With a quick leap, he crossed most of the battlefield and reached the front of Bronze Bell.

The indestructible sharp horn turned into a sharp and decisive magic weapon, and suddenly slid down.

"Shh-"

Amidst the soft ringing, the bronze bell that had just put on a posture of resistance froze in place.

It wasn't until a moment later that he fell to the ground.

"The Bronze Bell has lost its ability to fight. The winner is Heracross! The winner is a clever player from the Johto area! Congratulations to him for entering the next stage of the competition!"

Following the announcement by the on-site host, after a short silence, the nearby stands burst into enthusiastic cheers. Even professional travelers who have traveled to many continents rarely encounter such enthusiastic audiences.

After shaking hands with her opponent with a hearty smile, Aqiao gently waved in the direction of Rumlow and Freddy, and walked slowly towards her exit passage.

"Ah Xiang, this time with your share."

In a place where no one could see, he lowered his head slightly, looked at the little saw crocodile following him, and gently clenched his hand that was trembling slightly due to nervousness and excitement.

The Headquarters of the Cultivator Association, the Office of the Director of the Association.

The gray-haired old man sits behind the desk, and there are still many documents that have been approved or are waiting for approval. There are many things in an orderly manner, and a few decorative green plants complement each other, reflecting the old man's interest in life.

"Research on time quantification benchmarks and judgment criteria for making energy cubes... This is a very interesting topic. Tell me, how do you plan to write an article based on your energy cube making skills to apply for advanced breeders? Are you eligible?"

Holding a copy of the application form submitted by Filio, Director Niels leaned on his office chair with playful eyes.

If he hadn't seen Philio's operation with his own eyes, even an authority of the older generation with strong academic inclusiveness like him would feel unbelievable, and might even regard this project application as an evil way of grandstanding.

But looking at the young talent he had witnessed growing up, all he could think of was appreciation and admiration—and a little bit of worry about his mentality.

But, just for a short while, his vague worries dissipated.

Hearing Nils' question that was meant to be a school test, Fillio bowed politely, took the full file bag from Woolley who was sitting on the sofa, took out a small stack on the top, and handed it to Niels.

"Director Nils, this form is the result of my teacher Miria and I's experiments over the past month. The formulas used are the standard formulas of all attributes that can be purchased on the market, both elementary and intermediate."

His voice is steady and powerful, humble yet at the same time unparalleled in confidence.

Looking at the rigorous experimental results, Niels' eyes lit up: "It's very standard. It's not like the operationalists in our association who emphasize practice over theory, but it is somewhat similar to the style of those research institutes. Woolley, you Have you seen it all?”

"I've seen it all, Director Nils. And before coming here, Filio and I also reproduced a few of them at random, and it was more accurate than I expected."

Upon hearing his name, Woolley, who was sitting on the sofa, quickly stood up and took out the experimental samples he had brought with him, not forgetting to say a few good words for Filio secretly.

"Hmm... it's really good. There's another question. It's completely opposite to our existing operating style, right? One is an operating process determined based on different tree fruits, and the other is a one-size-fits-all operation method."

After arranging the documents and data handed in by Philio, and thinking about it for a while, Nils raised his head again and looked at him calmly.

The pitch-black pupils were a little more profound and refined.

"Of course not the opposite. My research is only a supplement to the existing technology, and the goal is to slightly improve and repair the existing operating methods."

Hearing what Nils meant, Filio shook his head slightly and looked back calmly at this old man who had given him a lot of help.

He knew very well what the other party meant to protect him, and he added calmly: "To be precise, it is to reduce errors and reduce the operating threshold, loss rate and scrap rate in a more precise way."

"Oh? That's a good idea, keep talking."

His eyes lit up at Philio's superiority and stability. Nils raised his hands, held his chin, and looked at him with interest, his eyes full of encouragement and appreciation.

"Then let me briefly talk about my thoughts. In front of an authority like yours, it must be a bit tricky. If there is something wrong, please remind me."

Bowing his head respectfully, Filio took out the first draft of the article he and Miria had rushed to work with before he came here, and talked eloquently:

"In the past production of energy cubes, the operating techniques of various schools are actually similar to our research this time. The problem is that they cannot accurately judge the time for different fruits to be mixed and react in the instrument. Speed, but through the summary of experience, it can also form a rhythm that generally matches it. This is also the core reason why various genres are suitable for making different types of energy cubes. What I hope is to turn experience into concrete presentations. "

"The production of energy cubes is scientific. There are principles for the mixing of nutrients in different tree fruits under the relevant ratio. Although we can't fully analyze this principle, we can integrate and calculate. Building them into a basic temporal connection is enough for the production itself."

"The ratio ideas I have now include the following types of tree fruits. Please take a look at page 7 of the report. The first is about pomelo fruit..."

"The above are the results of my experiments. Unfortunately, this research is currently limited to some basic reactions and can only be used on some primary and intermediate formulas. Higher-level ones are difficult to analyze. After all, you know , the more complex the formula is, the more diverse the reactions and changes involved, and the more difficult it is to analyze. Even if I have super powers, it will still be very difficult."

At the end of the long speech, Filio also clicked on a page of the report, presenting the most critical preliminary conclusions in front of Nils, who read and analyzed it himself.

Looking at Philio's flawless explanation, he, who was always strict, could not find any mistakes.

As the saying goes, if you don't sing, you have already become a blockbuster, and you haven't seen him for several months. The cultivator's practice, which he thought would be abandoned due to travel, seems to have achieved results that surprised him.

Smiling, he raised his hand and patted Filio on the shoulder. Nils said with satisfaction: "Optimize and improve the existing processes, innovate and develop modern technologies, and improve and standardize the training process... It is very neat. You are very thoughtful, I I don’t think anyone can say anything bad. When can it be completed? I will save you an issue of Carlos Cultivation Review, no limit to the length.”

"Thank you very much, Director Nils. After the Miare Conference is over, I can make follow-up improvements, and it should be submitted to you for review in May or June this year."

After deliberately pausing for a moment and thinking for a moment, Philio gave an approximate time with a very high error tolerance. His expression was neither arrogant nor impetuous, but still calm.

"Well, it's very good, and the efficiency is very high. Then let's do it, let Woolley connect with you, submit the required resources directly to the list, and go to the association's separate funds. Compared with the results of the alliance conference, I am more looking forward to your file. The day it was submitted to the council for consideration. However, it is also a good choice to go hand in hand, Muriel was like that back then, work hard!"

Carefully putting the documents submitted by Filio into his personal filing cabinet, and looking at this young man who always brought surprises to him with a smile, the busy old man continued to work at his desk and started his work.

"You really have face. It's rare for Director Niels to smile at someone for so long, and I'm envious of the unlimited space." Walking out of the office, Woolley, whose tense heartstrings finally relaxed, relaxed. Tie, patted Philio on the back, and half-jokingly said, "I really sweated for you at the beginning, those old-fashioned cakes are not easy to move~!"

"Thanks to the care and guidance of the director, and the seniors who spoke for me. To be honest, I was quite nervous to stay with Director Nils." He gently brushed away the scattered small sweat drops on his forehead with a handkerchief, and Feili said Ao smiled and nodded, "As for the stakes here, you and the director don't have to worry about me. I understand the importance. I will only produce these results so far. Of course, more cannot be achieved due to limited conditions. And... this This kind of thing is determined by the market. Even without my superpower, sooner or later someone will take a step forward. As long as the first step is completed, the trend will follow naturally and no one can go against the current."

"You kid, you look tepid, your brain is really quick, and you talk in the same way. It's all messed up by me."

Woolley, who half understood, scratched his head, and simply didn't want to think about this troublesome thing. He slapped Philio's shoulder and said with a smile: "The matter is already done. If you don't want to find a place to have a drink, let's go ahead and have a drink." Celebrating your confirmed qualification as a senior breeder? In my impression, the only senior breeders under the age of 20 are the pair of masters and disciples from Hoenn. You are really a monster."

"Isn't this still thanks to the care of the seniors? But the drinking thing... Hey, today is a bit troublesome. I have to rush to the Miare Arena. I guess the groups are about to come out. This time, none of my friends are here. Come with me, I have to go and see for myself. Next time I have time, I will invite you to have a drink. I have long wanted to know more about the good restaurants and bars here with you, the landowner of Miare. By then You must appreciate it."

Shrugging helplessly, Philio could only refuse Woolley's kindness. Although he himself was a little moved, he couldn't delay the business, and he could only change the appointment for another date in the midst of his mood.

As soon as he left the office, the taxi he had booked on his mobile phone had already parked at the door.

Saying goodbye to Woolley, the furious Philio faced the most enthusiastic slanting sunshine in the afternoon.

The few days without competition were more frustrating for him than competing on time.

But the harvest is also full.

The stepping stone to become a senior breeder has been established in his many years of research, and now he holds it in his hands, just waiting to be waved.
-
When Philio arrived outside the arena, the group rosters had just been posted.

Blanche and Aqiao, who were waiting at the bottom of the list, came forward from both sides at the same time, and they were blocking Filio, who was moving around in the crowd.

"I knew you wouldn't come to watch today's game, so I came here to block you! Are you ready to be taught a lesson by me in the finals?"

The one who took off her little white hat with a smirk was Blanche, who hadn't noticed the bad news yet.

"I don't think so. Maybe you met me in the final? I hope to have a good fight with Philio in the semi-final."

Accompanied by Rumlow and Freddie, smiling heartily and confidently, was Qiao who also advanced easily and was determined to win the championship.

On the list of groups, Filio was placed in Group A, which together with Aqiao in Group C formed the upper half, while Blanchi in Group D was in the lower half.

only……

With the help of superpowers, Filio can see the whole picture of the group list clearly from a long distance, and when he hears Brilanche's confident declaration, he casually points and says softly: "Although I really want to be with you You sparred, but, Bilanqi, didn't you realize that the first row of the first row of Group C is a name that is very familiar to you?"

"Eh?"

In a daze, Bi Lanqi, who had never read the roster of Group C, turned her head, followed Filio's fingertips, and saw a blond photo with a bright smile.

"Eh?!--"

A girl's mournful cry came from the dense crowd.

It can be said that those who heard it were sad and those who heard it shed tears. Only the other direct parties standing aside laughed and took the gloating to the extreme.

"Okay, I'm going to make a lot of money this time!"

Outside the square, after successfully selling out today's peripheral products, Xiaolan, who finished work early, looked at the rising balance in her account and the still bustling streets, gearing up.

A batch of new dolls she specially ordered will be arriving soon.

The brown-haired boy with a stern face had already stood beside her at some point, his sharp eyes locked on Filio through the crowd.

This person's words saved me a lot of trouble, at least I didn't have to hide in the dark—although I always felt as troublesome as that woman who could prophesy.

Thinking like this, his eyebrows relaxed a little.

"Snapped"

A crisp slap fell on his thin shoulder. He turned around and saw the beauty with a charming smile looking at him.

"What are you looking at, what are you thinking? So obsessed?"

"It's nothing, I just saw a lot of people and I wasn't very used to it."

Shaking his head to get rid of all the weird thoughts, Xiao Yin showed a gentle look that was unique in front of outsiders.

"Then I don't care. Since you have followed me secretly, you have to work hard for your sister, otherwise I won't cook for you at night~! Come on, follow me to the toy factory~!"

The bright smile was full of doting and joking, she had no doubts about Xiao Yin's words, Xiao Lan grabbed his hand casually, and ran towards the distant streets with brisk steps.

"Wait for me, slow down..."

Looking at her sworn sister with a bitter smile, who obviously was not short of money at all, but was always willing to engage in some profiteer behavior that was short of money, Xiao Yin didn't know what to say.

But this way of living and getting along seems to be very good.

Feeling the warmth from Xiaolan's hand, Xiaoyin, who seldom smiled since she was a child, raised the corners of her mouth unconsciously, and strode to follow.

"Lucario, use all your strength to split the tiles! Master Itachi and Elledor, attack quickly!"

In the well-equipped training ground, the girl who felt the urgency led her friends to sweat profusely.

The sounds of muscle and steel, rubber and wood colliding together, rising and falling.

"Ding Dong"

"Ding Dong"

During the training, the cell phone that was set to do not disturb mode made a soft beep, attracting the attention of Kerni, who was already wet with sweat.

The big talking eyes lit up for a moment, then quickly retracted, pretending to look around casually, seeing that the Pokémon including Lucario were not paying attention, she quickly ran in three steps and two steps Go to the rest area.

Taking out the phone, the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously.

[Little Meng Yao single pusher (note: Big Wood): The groups are out. You are No. 3 in Group C. I am in Group A. It seems that we can meet in the finals. I am really looking forward to it. 】

[Little Meng Yao's single promoter: I guess you won't go all the way to see the scene. You should stay in the hotel or training hall for special training, right?Pay attention to your health and balance work and rest.Remember to eat well when you don’t live together. 】

"Tch...a verbose guy."

She raised her head slightly arrogantly, but she couldn't suppress the excitement in her tone. The rising ending betrayed her true emotions at the moment.

Tapping her finger on the screen repeatedly, with a bit of secret joy, she quickly replied to the message and hurriedly put the phone back where it was, and slipped back to the training ground as if nothing happened, and joined the training of her partners.

But she didn't notice that from an angle she couldn't see, several Pokémon headed by Lucario sighed in unison.

Outside the arena, the expressionless Nazi was walking slowly. Today's iceberg is still solidly frozen, showing no sign of melting, but it doesn't seem to have any tendency to conflict with the burning little sun.

The delicate balance continues.

"Ding Dong"

In the small kitchen of the hotel suite, Filio, who was humming and cooking, turned around and saw the flash of light on the mobile phone screen.

[The strongest evolutionary fighter (remark: cucumber): eat?Then I want to eat pork chops, let the little dream demon bring them to me~! 】

"This idiot cucumber is still ordering food..." Filio shook his head fondly, put away his mobile phone, looked at the fried pork chops on the stove with the alluring aroma, and shouted without looking back: "Little Dream Demon" , are you free to deliver a takeout for me? Kerni wants to eat pork chops, do you know the place? It’s the one where I stayed last summer.”

"Machi? Machi~!"

The little dream demon who was fighting for [-] rounds in the game with the wind fairy and the big-mouthed kid was furious when he heard the sound. He threw the controller to the big-mouthed kid who was eliminated early, and rushed into the small kitchen with a "swish", standing up proudly. Small breasts.

"By the way, wait for me, and bring the salad that Nazi likes to eat. The two of them should live together now, and they thought they could hide it from me. It's so easy... Now Nazi should control her weight again, just eat some It’s low-fat, and Kerni does a lot of exercise every day, so it’s good to eat more meat and carbohydrates, but there’s no shortage of vegetables..."

Fillio on the stove was busy talking while talking, and the little dream demon floating in the air had already taken out a macaron by himself, and ate it slightly.

Lord Little Dream Demon is only responsible for delivering food to the door, as for what to eat and how to eat it, it doesn’t bother to think about it, and it’s enough for Filio to do it alone~
Thinking of this, a smirk appeared on its face, and it fluttered to the top of Philio's head. While eating, it let the crumbs of the snack fall on his hair unknowingly.

Then, before he, who was concentrating on his work, noticed, the Little Dream Demon Express had already disappeared without a trace.
