Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

Lin Xuan was very dissatisfied. He had recently gained over a million followers on Bilibili, making him somewhat famous. Yet this guy didn't even recognize him, which was disrespectful to his commentary career.

After hearing Lin Xuan's words, the man still looked completely bewildered, clearly not recognizing Lin Xuan at all.

"Dandan~"

Looks like your fame is just so-so~

Xiao Dian said with a mocking expression, so Lin Xuan pushed him away.

Yuan Teng wasn't stupid either. From the situation at the scene and Lin Xuan's conversation, he could tell that something was wrong. This person seemed to want to attack Senior Brother Lin Xuan.

After figuring this out, Yuan Teng couldn't help but look at the man with a somewhat sympathetic gaze.

You're really unlucky. Of all the people you could have asked, you had to pick Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan's strength is recognized even within Jinhui Martial Arts Academy. Apart from Senior Brother Liu Quan and Senior Sister Bai Yao, no one dares to say they can definitely beat Lin Xuan, and there is even a high chance that they will be defeated.

The fact that someone like you still comes here suggests that you're showing signs of early signs of brain atrophy. No, it's not even a sign anymore.

Lin Xuan walked up to the man and bent down slightly.

"What are you going to do?" The man tried to back away, but Gallade stabbed him in the back with her sword. Then, a sound of swallowing was heard, and that was it. The man voluntarily expressed his unconditional support for Lin Xuan's actions.

"It's just grabbing something, don't be nervous."

Lin Xuan immediately noticed the man's slightly bulging pocket, and upon confirming that it contained something, she unzipped the pocket and took out the item without hesitation.

It wasn't much, just a few sheets of paper, but the things recorded on them were quite interesting.

It seemed to be some of the data that Dr. Gao Yun had brought back from his investigation. If it was only this, Lin Xuan wouldn't be surprised, since he had already guessed that this guy might be the one who stole the data. However, he saw the words "secret realm" on two of the documents.

He glanced at it briefly before stuffing it into his pocket. The man opened his mouth as if to say something, but after sensing the blade of Gallade behind him, he wisely kept quiet.

"Senior, what should we do now? Call the police?"

Yuan Teng also came up. Although he didn't know what Lin Xuan had just taken from the man, he still asked.

"No need, I'll make a call and someone will come to pick him up."

Lin Xuan stopped Yuan Teng's actions. Calling the police would be too troublesome. They should contact Dr. Gao Yun directly, because in addition to the two documents, Lin Xuan had just found a work badge on the guy.

This guy is also an employee of Jinhui Research Institute. As for his name, it's Lu Yuanming. We don't know if that's his real name, but we'll find out once the doctor arrives.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

"I really have to thank you this time, otherwise I wouldn't even know that such important information had been stolen."

Lin Xuan returned to Gao Yun's office for the second time, but this time her purpose was different from before.

Lin Xuan was accompanied only by Xiao Dian and the others, while Yuan Teng had already returned to Jin Hui Dojo to report on his work, which of course included what Lin Xuan had encountered that day.

"So why would such important information be stolen so openly?"

Upon hearing Gao Yun say that the guy had taken away important documents, Lin Xuan couldn't help but ask this question. After all, he had taken the documents right in front of him, and even after seeing him, he didn't seem flustered at all. Most importantly, he didn't even lock the door. Wasn't that a bit too arrogant?

And surely the security at the research institute shouldn't be that bad?

Even Gao Yun felt a little embarrassed after Lin Xuan asked this question. After all, it's not shameful to have something stolen from you, but it's shameful to have it stolen so openly, especially by someone from your own research institute.

"Actually, the security of the archives is usually very tight, especially when I'm not there. Unless the outer wall is blown up, it's impossible for anyone to sneak in silently. Even if someone uses a teleportation-like skill to get in, there are special monitoring devices inside, so no one else has a chance."

"Then today..."

"It's because I came back that the door, which was originally locked, has a loophole. I also need to go in to retrieve and organize some data, so it's impossible to guard it as strictly as usual. And most importantly, the monitoring equipment inside also needs someone to operate and maintain it."

Dr. Gao rubbed his temples, looking like he had a headache. After all, this incident at the research institute was really beyond his expectations.

"So?" Lin Xuan immediately made a rough guess.

"Well, the person who stole the data was mainly responsible for equipment maintenance. They probably tampered with something during maintenance, which is why no one noticed. As for that door, no one but me can open and close it freely. That guy probably only realized he couldn't lock it in a short time after opening it!"

Lin Xuan: ...

The door was open but couldn't be locked, no wonder I pushed it open and got in.

"Shouldn't this kind of thing be left to the most trusted person? Or should someone be watching over us?" Lin Xuan said after thinking for a moment.

“Yes!” Dr. Gao Yun said with a sigh, then turned to look at Lin Xuan, “That guy has worked at this research institute for twenty years, even longer than I have been here.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan fell silent. Judging from Gao Yun's expression, he clearly trusted this person immensely; otherwise, he wouldn't have entrusted him with this job. Dr. Gao Yun's feelings must be quite complex right now.

"As for why he attacked you... it's because you discovered his data theft. If it weren't for you, he could have easily found you by simply taking the time to relock the door afterwards. But you just happened to stumble upon him."

At this point, even Dr. Gao Yun couldn't help but laugh. It can only be said that the guy was unlucky. Lin Xuan had just set the time yesterday, and since Lin Xuan's arrival wasn't a very important matter, Dr. Gao Yun had only casually mentioned it to the security guards at the door, and no one else knew about it.

So, am I considered lucky?

Lin Xuan touched his nose. Who knew that he could just open a door and see an undercover agent, and then be attacked for no reason?

"You're lucky you're alright!"

"Oh right, I got this from that guy."

As he spoke, Lin Xuan returned the information he had obtained from Lu Yuanming to Dr. Gao Yun, who only glanced at it briefly before tossing it aside.

"This is a copy he made afterward; the original is still in the archives."

As for why all these important documents are recorded in paper form, the main reason is because of Dr. Gao Yun's research direction. He wrote down almost all the data he investigated, word by word, and paper is more convenient than electronic materials.

And we also have to be wary of Porygon, those creatures that are practically everywhere in the electronic world.

So, did you see it?

After casually setting the documents aside, Dr. Gao Yun continued to ask Lin Xuan questions.

"Uh... I saw just a tiny bit!"

Lin Xuan said very honestly, but he did only glance at it briefly, and after vaguely seeing the words "secret realm," he didn't look any further.

"Don't worry, it's okay even if you see it. I know the requirements for teachers to accept students. It's good that you don't tell anyone."

After taking a sip of tea, Dr. Gao Yun said that if Lin Xuan had really seen the information, this should have been reported to the Alliance, given the special nature of the information. However, since Lin Xuan was his junior brother, Dr. Gao Yun said that if he didn't see Lin Xuan, then he didn't see him!

"You should have said so earlier! I really just glanced at it and didn't see anything!"

Lin Xuan felt he had lost 100 million yuan, and that he had been too honest!

"That would be best. Anyway, the things on there have nothing to do with you, and you don't need to know too much about them." Gao Yun nodded, then looked up at Lin Xuan again.

"Do you want to sit here and rest for a while? Or if you're hungry, you can eat at the cafeteria in our institute. I have a lot of things to take care of here, so I can't stay with you for the time being."

"I should go back to the dojo too."

Lin Xuan shook her head. She had been out for almost a whole day, far exceeding her expectations. Although she was indeed a little hungry, she could wait until she got back to Jinhui Dojo to eat.

"Alright, then I won't see you off." Gao Yun nodded, and then, just as Lin Xuan was about to leave, he suddenly spoke up to remind her:

"Be careful these next few days. There might be other forces behind Lu Yuanming. If you mess up their plans, they might target you. You'll be fine staying at Jinhui Dojo most of the time, but you still need to be careful when you're outside."

"clear."

Lin Xuan responded, but didn't think it was a big problem. At worst, he would just stay at Jinhui Dojo for the time being. Let them come in if they dare!

If someone were to break into the Jinhui Martial Arts Academy in broad daylight, their only purpose, unless they possess master-level skills, would be to add case studies to forensic textbooks.

Chapter 304 The cerebellum is not well developed

"Gallade is unable to battle, so Iron Fist Warrior wins!"

Inside the Jin Hui Dojo, Cheng Yin stood in the middle of the battle arena and addressed the two people not far away. The two sides in the battle were, of course, Lin Xuan's Gallade and Liu Quan's Iron Fist Warrior.

As for the result... well, that's how it was; it ended in Gallade's defeat.

"Junior brother, you're really persistent. It's just a championship. At your age, if you train for another two years, you can not only participate in the martial arts tournament, but you might even be able to make it to the top of the championship. There's no need to be in such a hurry!"

Liu Quan shook his head and said to Lin Xuan that today's match was naturally at Lin Xuan's invitation, and it was considered a training match.

Liu Quan naturally wouldn't refuse, because Lin Xuan's Gallade was also very strong, and its battle style could be described as bizarre, which was almost impossible for other Pokémon to imitate.

After all, that level of teleportation is something that other Pokémon simply cannot imitate, even if they wanted to.

"So what exactly is your purpose in winning the martial arts tournament?"

After retrieving Iron Fist Warrior from its Poké Ball, Liu Quan crossed his arms and frowned slightly as he asked Lin Xuan.

Being overly assertive is probably a good thing for Fighting-type trainers, since they value that kind of indomitable spirit. However, such a strong desire to win is not necessarily a good thing.

"Winning or losing doesn't matter. I just want something, and I can only get it by winning the martial arts tournament. Two years is too long."

Lin Xuan shrugged and explained casually.

"I see... Do I have to win to get it?"

Liu Quan lowered his head and thought for a moment.

"How about we go talk to Bai Yao and decide to throw the game and lose to you?"

Just as Cheng Yin finished her refereeing duties and was about to take a sip of water, she took a sip and almost spat it out.

Is this something she can hear?

Lin Xuan was completely stunned by what Liu Quan said. His senior brother was truly an exceptionally kind person!

If Lin Xuan hadn't known beforehand that Bai Yao wouldn't agree, she probably would have nodded in agreement immediately.

"Senior Sister Bai Yao would never agree to that. She has her own desires, and we're rivals, after all," Lin Xuan said helplessly.
