This elf world is kind of weird

Chapter 295 "Cactus" Club
The disappearance of the Tianxing team was just like their appearance. They came unexpectedly and left quietly.

After the skirmish at the training ground, Filio didn't see any trace of them for several days.

However, his peaceful days have gone and never come back.

The story of him and Caidou standing up for the students and defeating the Tianxing team and the boss Meloko spread like wildfire on campus as word of mouth spread among those who witnessed it that day.

Even in the quiet home economics class, there would be students taking advantage of his opportunity to come down and give personal guidance and chatter non-stop with questions, not to mention after class.

In just a few days, the two of them became influential figures in Padea College and the idols of many introverted students who dared not speak out after being bullied.

Even Vivian, who hardly came to school, made a special trip to pick up her sister and found Filio to tease her.

But just like the scene that day, her schedule seemed to be very full during this period, and she left in a hurry before even chatting for a few words.

Looking at the back, it didn't look like he was resting in Zuotai City, but more like he was busy from morning to night. He didn't know what he had encountered, which made him a little worried, but it was inconvenient to ask.
-
Overall, Philio is a character who takes things as he comes.

The regular study life at Padya Academy did not make him feel empty or slack. Rather, it gave him a platform to organize, summarize and practice the knowledge and skills he had previously learned from Juzi.

A venue that is free to use and maintained by a specialized organization.

Various resources provided at cost price and high subsidies as specially appointed teachers.

There are also free sandbag (crossed out) quality sparring partners from around the world, especially the tireless Nemo and Caido.

Except that it is not my hometown, and there are no Nazi and Korni around me, it is simply heaven on earth.

But unlike Abe, who is happy and carefree, and Antoine, who doesn't care where he goes as long as he has a girlfriend by his side, Filio is still not lost in the colorful world outside. He just spends more and more time talking on the phone every day. The longer.

The sunshine and beaches of Salo, as well as the snow-white...ahem!Skip the topic!
Back to the subject, that evening, I just had a friendly sparring session with Teacher Huangbo in the battle class, and brought her the warm greetings of Senior Lip, while destroying a battle field and beating a strong fighter to tears. After returning home, Filio, who felt physically and mentally comfortable, hummed a tune and walked to his room.

This time he was acting alone, because Nimo and Caidou had made an appointment for extra training in the evening. At this moment, they should be sweating in the training ground and enjoying the cheers and admiration from the teachers and students of the academy.

Philio is obviously different from these two battle fanatics. He has no idea of ​​overtiring his partners, nor does he have the idea of ​​overtiring himself.

Lie on the back of the Tyrannosaurus and play games with the little dream demon, bully the good-tempered staff-tailed ankylosaurus, take a nap on the soft cotton of the wind fairy, comb the hair of the sun Eevee, and then talk to the emperor Let's try a new recipe together with Bo, make a late-night snack for the big guys with good appetites, and finally take a long sleep with the soft big-mouthed baby. Isn't it more fulfilling than fighting against each other?

Therefore, in line with the principle of combining work and rest, Filio happily thought about his evening life.

Then, he met an uninvited guest.

Pipa, who was standing outside the door of his room, seemed to be here for the first time and looked a little reserved.

Seeing Filio coming from the corner humming a tune, he quickly straightened up after waiting for a long time and came forward to greet him. Before Filio could react, a gold-plated invitation had been thrust into his hand.

【Cactus Club】

Looking at the strange name on the invitation and Savaro's wild and uninhibited signature, Filio's eyebrows arched up and down, forming a strange shape.

"What's going on here again? Do you like blocking the door without saying hello so much? Game NPC?"

Vaguely, he had realized that his fulfilling nightlife seemed to have come to an end early.

"Ahem... I haven't found you yet? So I came directly to your room." Pipa scratched his head in embarrassment, feeling a bit like the NPC who issued the mission in the game, "This is Sa The members of the research group organized by Teacher Varro are cultivators who are as keen on sharing knowledge as you are rather than cherishing your own knowledge. I would like to invite you to participate in the gathering."

"Oh? There is such an organization...it's interesting." Filio raised the corner of his mouth slightly, showing a three-pointed smile, and looked down at Taiyang Ibrahimovic, who always had his long tail wrapped around his wrist, "But, I have made an appointment. Well, I’m going to groom Taiyang Eevee and chat tonight.”

"Buy~"

The little guy smiled thoughtfully, retracted his tail, jumped up, and landed on his pre-arranged arm. He curled up on his chest and said in a soft voice that he also wanted to take a look.

The pink little tongue gently licked his arm, bringing a sense of coolness.

Being amused by Sun Eevee's rare little playfulness, Philio's mood improved a lot, and he agreed with a smile: "Since it agreed, then it's okay for me. Let's see what Padea's colleagues are doing. Do you have anything to say?"

After twisting and turning along the corridor of the college, which was already quite quiet at night, and going around the boss, I finally arrived at a high-rise corner that I would rarely reach.

Behind a large, unremarkable iron door, there is a new world of another world.

This is the activity venue of the "Cactus Club". They hold three meetings here on the 10th, 20th and 30th of every month. Today is the second meeting in August.

While walking and chatting, Philio learned that the name of the cactus comes from the meaning of the founder Savaro's name in the ancient Padian language, a tall and straight cactus with strong vitality.

Choosing this name to name his teachers’ club also expresses Savaro’s expectations for this cause.

Passing on and promoting the knowledge of cultivators is like building an oasis in the desert of knowledge.

When the two pushed open the door and walked into the house, more than a dozen people, including Savaro, were already sitting around the round table, having a lively discussion.

On the big screen not far away, there were several cultivators participating in the meeting remotely. They all seemed to be young. Except for the initiator Savaro, the oldest one was only around 40 years old.

From the appearance, these breeders seem to come from all over the world. At least what Filio can identify includes the three regions of Hoenn, Alola and Hezhu. It can be said that they are open to all rivers.

At present, they may not be able to produce truly influential results due to age and qualification limitations, but given time, they may not be able to make a difference.

"Ah, Philio, you are indeed here!"

Seeing Filio, Savarro, who was talking with joy, immediately stood up, pulled him to the empty seat next to him with a red face, and introduced him to the crowd of colleagues.

"This is Filio, the youngest senior cultivator in Carlos, and now he is also my colleague! Haven't you always been paying attention to his masterpiece? Now that the real person is here, you can contact him if you have any questions. !”

After that, he moved his fingertips clockwise along the round table and introduced the members of the club to Filio one by one.

Some of these people are very young and are still studying in school, so naturally they are no strangers to Philio.

There are also some who are relatively older, maybe they have been to the school to observe, or this is the first time they met.

Among them are Mimosa, a nurse who has always wanted to obtain the college teaching qualification, and Lillian, who has narrow eyes.

Seeing Lilian's teasing smile, Philio suddenly understood the meaning of that complicated look when they parted in the restaurant.

As early as that time, this quirky girl had thought of today's scene.

The meeting time in the evening was precious. After a brief exchange of greetings, Savaro returned to the topic and introduced to Filio the main topics of today's meeting.

[The role of food power in making energy cubes]

This is a quite cutting-edge subject, and it is also a new inspiration that Savarro was inspired by Filio.

In the past many years, Pokémon meals were usually regarded as consumables alongside energy cubes and elf food, and due to the special materials, most of them only appeared in the Padia region.

For mainstream areas represented by Kanto, the combination of energy cubes and elf food is the mainstream model.

However, during the exchange and cooperation with Filio, and guided by Paipa's inspiration, Savaro came up with new ideas.

Using condiments that are easy to store as a medium, combine the meal preparation mode with energy cubes to change the way of simply using fruits and other auxiliary ingredients.

The attempts of Pipa and Filio have each proven that if this approach is adjusted properly, it can optimize the taste while improving the fusion efficiency, reducing the difficulty of production with no or less loss of the quality of the finished product.

Before Philio arrived, everyone in the group had already had a heated discussion on this novel topic.

Although their levels are uneven, the top two are already newly promoted senior cultivators, and the students with the weakest foundation are only barely at the level of intermediate cultivators, but they have learned a lot from each other. Inspire.

Especially Lillian, who showed her extraordinary talent in the first class.

As a talented cultivator who specializes in cooking, her talent in this field is no less than that of her twin sister Vivian in combat.

She specializes in making elf food and is particularly enthusiastic about this topic, chirping to explain her views.

The reason is simple, this is her specialty.

The biggest selling point of the small breeding house she opened is the coordination of Pokémon meals and elf food. Although there are still differences between them and energy cubes, it at least proves the operability and feasibility of the fusion.

The core advantage of Pokémon meals is that they are based on ingredients, supplemented by seasonings, and paired with a small amount of tree fruits. It can almost be regarded as the opposite of energy cubes.

Elf food happens to be somewhere in between the two in nature, and coordination with either means the interoperability and complementarity of production techniques.

Through two years of practice after graduation, she has indeed found many suitable ratios to combine the growth nutrition of elf food with the feeding power of Pokémon meals.

This successful experience built her confidence in finding the relationship between Pokémon meals and energy cubes, and also allowed her to put forward a different point of view from Savaro.

It is not based on seasoning, but more radical, using fresh ingredients directly.

In terms of effect, energy-rich food, especially fruit and vegetable food, is completely different from tree fruits. It is more reflected in the physical and mental rest and affinity of the Pokémon with the corresponding attribute. It is gentler and smoother.

But everything remains the same. Although the effect is far less immediate than that of the energy cube, the internal mechanism of the two is not much different. They also stimulate energy and achieve the result of 1+1 greater than 2 with the help of the mutual relationship.

For this reason, she believes that through experiments, she can select certain types of fruits and vegetables and try to match them with more than a dozen types of trees and fruits with the most abundant corresponding attribute energy to find nodes where the energy echoes, so as to achieve the initial breakthrough.

The self-consistent logic and the interlocking arguments attracted applause from the whole room. Filio and Savaro looked at each other, nodded again and again, and silently wrote down the ideas that could be used for reference.

But as soon as she sat back down, Piper stood up and offered a different perspective.

Unlike Lillian who pursues fusion, as a local cultivator in Padia who has a special liking for cooking, Paipa hopes to promote the food.

Starting from here, he proposed a plan to use meals as the main body and use the energy enrichment of energy cubes to improve the effectiveness of the meals themselves as a cultivation resource.

Two completely different ideas immediately sparked a collision. Taking this as an opportunity, other group members also joined the discussion. There were not only debates surrounding these two ideas, but also new inspirations emerging from time to time.

Soon, two newly promoted senior cultivators also joined the discussion, and they had a heated debate with the two rising stars, Paipa and Lilian, and sparks of inspiration continued.

There are only a few who are not very good at this knowledge and are relatively silent, such as Mimosa who smiles shyly.

Although the two people who became high-level cultivators in their late [-]s are not necessarily gifted, their ability to reach this point is the result of years of hard work.

Years of study have broadened their horizons and deepened their knowledge. Although it is not a long speech like Lillian, they can get to the point in a few words.

Although their views are enlightening, there is a hidden danger that cannot be ignored.

The essence of energy cubes and meal making: capacity.

The amount of energy is relatively fixed in the output of the corresponding level. Insufficiency of the total amount will certainly affect the quality, but too much will also lead to the same result.At the same time, a more important problem is that the theoretical ratio is inconsistent with the actual limit.

Because people are not machines.

Lillian and Pipa's ideas seemed rigorous and meticulous, but in fact they ignored these two key issues and left flaws.

This is also a mistake that many talented breeders tend to make when designing their first or even first few formulas. Filio in the past few years was no exception. He only successfully made the leap under the guidance of Teacher Milia.

During the heated discussion, Philio did not rashly join the debate. Instead, he wrote quickly, recording and analyzing everyone's thoughts, from the still immature students to the experienced cultivators, everything was done in detail.

Next to him, Savaro did the same thing. The two looked at each other from time to time, using their eyes to communicate silently amidst the noise.

The light of superpower flashed, and he picked up a piece of chalk, sorted out the key words of each idea, and recorded them on the blackboard in the corner.

Soon, the entire blackboard was filled with the collective thoughts of everyone, with words and lines criss-crossing each other. It seemed chaotic, but it formed a complete system.

"Boom"

When the discussion was heated, Taiyang Eevee gently waved his claws and dropped the blackboard in front of everyone, attracting a look of surprise and then shock.

Behind his crisp and sharp move was his profound knowledge reserve and extremely quick analysis and judgment, which calmed everyone down.

Eyes focused on him and Savaro.

"Most of the problems and differences have been clearly demonstrated. If we continue to argue, it will still be a battle of ideas. We can't tell the winner, so we might as well stop for a while."

Pointing to the integrated results after everyone's brainstorming on the blackboard, Filio suggested.

As in the past, everyone's discussion needed a final conclusion, but this time, they all realized that this link was no longer a one-man show for Savaro.

"Teacher Mimosa, do you have any ideas?" Savaro waved his hand politely and looked at Mimosa, who remained silent.

Mimosa smiled in surprise: "I'm not very good at this kind of cutting-edge fusion theory, so I can only learn more from everyone. But I have an immature idea. Under normal circumstances, when we improve a product that has mature technology, we still have to establish a foothold. With the existing model, we should not act too hastily. I can understand Pipa’s philosophy, but maybe it’s a bit too big a step.”

"Teacher Mimosa makes sense, and I feel the same way. Look at the area No. [-] marked by Filio."

Savarro nodded approvingly and pointed to a piece in the upper left corner of the blackboard, where Piper and everyone were arguing, with countless intertwined lines.

"The results of previous preliminary attempts show that the production of improved energy cubes should be embellished with ingredients and seasonings as catalysts. This is a basic idea and cannot dominate the scene. The same is true for the optimization of Pokémon meals. We must first lay down the foundation in the basic areas. Fundamentals, don’t be greedy for merit and rush forward.”

Pipa frowned, nodded vigorously, thinking about something in her mind, and turned a blind eye to Lilian's victorious smile.

"However, this is also a very interesting new topic. We think we can focus on discussing it in the next meeting. Let's hear Mr. Philio's opinion next?"

Seeing that his proud disciple was a little depressed, Savarro did not forget to give him a word of encouragement. Then he looked at Filio and gave him a congratulatory signal to conclude his final speech.

"You're welcome. I can't say that I have any opinions. Everyone's discussion was very valuable and I have benefited a lot. If I want to say something, I think I should go back to the record just now."

Philio stood up humbly, and with a flash of superpower, the blackboard fell next to him, and a slender pointer was taken out from the shadow space by the little dream demon.

"clatter"

With a single click, the tip of the pointer lands in the center of the blackboard, the intersection of countless questions and inspiration.

This is a question that Philio has thought about himself. After listening to everyone's speeches and combining his discussions with Milia and Woolley, some new inspirations are already brewing.

"Everyone, please read here. I think the comments made by the two seniors just now revolve around an essential issue, which is the dosage and configuration difficulty."

"My master once warned me when I left Kanto that attributes are just appearances, and strength is the real inner and essence. It is not advisable to abandon the basics and pursue the weak."

"This sentence can not only be used in trainers' practice, but it can also be used as a reference for our research."

“All new achievements are based on the essential characteristics that never change, which is the dimension of energy.”

"In this regard, I have a different idea than everyone else. I believe that integration can not only happen during the production process, but also before."

Following a secret line, Filio's pointer pointed to Lillian's judgment, and then turned in the direction and connected to Pipa along the thin line that was almost attached to the top of the blackboard.

An unexpected connection aroused everyone's confusion and thinking. This is a relationship that none of the parties involved had imagined.

Feeling the convergence and divergence of eyes, Filio smiled and said in a confident and determined voice:
"Take my own two formulas as examples, one with dragon attributes and one with ghost attributes. But when I made them, I actually used similar logic, which is what Mr. Savaro calls the basic field."

“The recipe for the ghost attribute came from a senior’s mistake of mixing Apple Wild Fruit and Orange Fruit together, while the formula for the dragon attribute was inspired by the Wind Fairy and I found the Sweet Potato Fruit during my travels. "

"Both formulas have the same characteristic, which is to be fully pre-mixed before production, and then react in a blended manner, which is the optimization of pre-processing."

Accompanied by Filio's narration, Woolley's accidental strokes were revealed in his development.

The completely unconventional idea just came out, and it seemed like a door to a new world had opened.

Driven by the desire for knowledge and exploration, the heated discussion started again, like a blazing fire, raising the temperature of the entire room by three points.

Whether it is the possible losses of the pre-processing itself or the effects achieved after mixing, these brand-new things have made everyone curious, including Savaro.

He was proficient in cooking and was very good at pre-processing ingredients. He immediately began to think and mutter to himself in a low voice.

Sometimes he frowned, sometimes he smiled happily, and even the writing on his notebook became scrawled and messy, revealing the tip of the iceberg of his turbulent heart.

As with all major topics, the first discussion is often just the beginning, and this time is no exception.

In the intellectual battle between you and me, it was the break time of the college in a blink of an eye.

The people who were still unfinished left one after another, leaving only Savarro meditating hard with an orange fruit.

It is said that the lights were on until midnight that night.

Once the academic enthusiasm of middle-aged people rises, the burst of vitality may not only be no weaker than that of young people, but may even be better.
-
In the empty corridor, Filio and Pipa walked together, slowly moving towards the room.

On the way, Pipa hesitated several times, but finally couldn't hold it back and stepped forward and asked:

"Filio, do you have any ideas that you haven't fully expressed yet?"

With great keenness and insight, he noticed a slight difference, as if there was still a layer of window paper missing from the real inspiration, which just couldn't be seen clearly.

Philio shook his head: "I can understand what you said, but I haven't completely thought it through. There are doubts in it that I have had for a long time. Maybe it is also the key point of the master-level formula?"

"...That's it, you're right." Pipa nodded thoughtfully, "Then let's discuss it next time. It's really disturbing today, so you should go to bed early. My room is downstairs. See you tomorrow."

After waving goodbye, Pipa, who was still immersed in thinking, wandered downstairs, muttering silently.

In terms of immersion in research, he and Savarro are cut from the same mold. It’s no wonder that Savarro values ​​and appreciates him so much.

Not only is his talent far beyond that of ordinary people, even surpassing Lilian at the same age, but he is also completely devoted to concentration.

This is an excellent quality that Filio also does not possess.

However, today may be an exception.

Returning to the room, Philio did not rest. Instead, he released his friends one by one and allowed them to move freely. He sat down at the desk and took out a yellowed notebook from his backpack.

What Piper said was not wrong. In today's discussion, he had another topic that he didn't want to hide, but had to hide.

This is also his most interesting research topic.

An improvement and upgrade of the Filio 1.0 series of combat cubes.

"Lanka!"

The always energetic Rod-tailed Ankylosaurus approached Filio and curiously looked at the book he had seen for the first time. He was confused by the words on it that were like a heavenly book.

Although it is getting bigger and bigger, and its appearance has become more stern and majestic, in its heart, it is still the same little guy as when it was born. It is curious about all new things and wants to see anything new. Come up and see what happens.

The beautiful long tail swung back and forth in front of the sleeping Tyrannosaurus, making it very noisy.

"What you don't understand, you will know when I study it." Filio rubbed his big head covered with scales, and said with endearment, "In a few days, when the Tyrannosaurus and the Wind Fairy also break through to the King of Heaven, After the level, the things above will still have some effect on you. So you have to think of a more powerful formula as soon as possible, understand?"

"Lanka?"

Tilting his head, the Ankylosaurus made gestures, and with his long and powerful arms, he hugged Philio so tightly that he was even a little out of breath.

Although I didn’t understand it, it never hurts to be intimate.

It's just a little stronger.

With the arrival of evolution, the previous coquettish mode began to make Philio a little unable to resist.

Even if he is already a strong man who can easily catch the 70-pound Sun Ibrahimovic, in front of the Fighter Dragon, no matter how powerful he is, it is fake.

"Machi~!"

"Elu~"

The dream monster and wind fairy hiding aside laughed happily, making Sun Eevee somewhat dumbfounded and unable to come to the rescue.

While laughing, the little dream demon did not forget to poke out a hidden shadow, gently scratching the soft belly of the wind fairy, and while it was laughing forward and backward, it flew high and floated in front of Filio.

His playful gaze swept across the notebook filled with square words, showing an expression of "Sure enough," the proud Little Dream Demon jumped up and threw himself on Filio's face.

[Face Hugger]'s special skill was activated again. I don't know what it was for this time, or why I was happy about it.

Perhaps it's because, besides Filio himself, only the little dream monster who learned it through hard work can understand this kind of square characters that are not in the language of Carlos?

In short, a chaotic battle started, and in the end, even the drowsy Tyrannosaurus was woken up and joined the battle group.

It was a fulfilling night, no doubt about it.
