Leisurely daily life in the elf world

The shaved ice has a fluffy texture, the taste of grass goat milk is mellow and fragrant, and it also has the natural fragrance of peach fruit.

The soft and refreshing sweetness melts and spreads on the tip of your tongue like snowflakes.

After taking a few bites of the original shaved ice, Rong Qi began to add toppings to his ice bowl with great interest.

Chocolate chips, cookie crumbs, lemon sauce, mango cubes, sand scale juice...

Eat one layer at a time, a simple original flavor of shaved ice can make Rong Qi taste seven or eight different flavors.

It’s really Rong Qi’s style to come up with so many ways to eat dessert.

There was nothing wrong with Mikoli coming here, he just came to Rong Qi to have a free meal.

There is no news from the alliance yet.

The next arrangements for the pioneer army are still unclear.

Mikoli will continue to provide support to the pioneer army.

Rong Qi has not found the sample of the original virus yet, so it is impossible for him to leave in a short time.

Although there are ferocious wild elves lurking in the swamp.

But in general, the current situation of the Pioneer Army is still relatively safe.

After eating, Mikoli took a short rest and then left.

Tonight it is Mikoli's turn to be responsible for the night guard of the Pioneer Army's base.

He still has to go back to patrol and be on guard.

……

The next morning, Rong Qi was woken up by the almost doll on time.

The defensive measures in the pioneer army’s base have been arranged, so Rong Qi has to continue collecting elf samples in the swamp.

Almost Wawa brought him a bowl of wontons with wild vegetables and fresh fish.

The wild vegetables in it are picked near the swamp, blanched and chopped, and then mixed with the paste of fresh fish caught nearby to make the filling.

Boil the fish bones and fish heads into soup, and put it into the bowl together with the cooked wontons.

The fish meat has a tender texture and is not as fat as pork or beef. It tastes like a springy fish ball.

But the crunchy wild vegetable particles inside add to the taste.

The soup is stewed with the fish head and body.

How can it not be considered the original soup and original food?

Rong Qi ate two bowls in a row before putting down his chopsticks.

Afterwards, Rong Qi took Venusaur and Gigantic to the Great Swamp to continue collecting Pokémon samples.

Forty thousand elf samples could not last more than three days. If he did not collect elf samples, he would not be able to keep up with the testing speed of Ms. Reina and the others.

……

"Woo ga~"

In the Great Swamp, there is a quagmire formed by countless fallen giant trees and corpses of elves.

An object like moss floating on the surface of a mud puddle slowly approached the shore.

The moldy green object gradually approached the edge of the mud. After climbing onto the shore, the moldy green object gradually gathered into an object like a small hill.

"Wow~"

A group of dull white skeletons and clawed horns tumbled down from the shore.

The moldy green body slowly squirmed, and it was not difficult to tell the identity of this elf from the muddy patterns on its body and its mud-like body.

A different colored stinky mud.

No one knew how many elves this stinky mud had devoured in this huge swamp; the undigested bones and claw scales had filled up the quagmire behind it.

As a colorful elf, this stinky mud must have its strengths to be able to survive in the dangerous wild.

Or, there are no weak colored elves who can survive in the wild.

They lost the protection of their ethnic group, were excluded, and had no sufficient ability to resist.

The colored elves that have not yet grown up have already become snacks for other elves.

Because of its race, Muddy is not on the menu of most wild elves, so compared with other colored elves, Muddy's living conditions are better.

After growing up, Stinky Mud found the tribe that had abandoned it and devoured them all.

The quagmire behind him was formed by the corpses of those tribesmen who had driven him out.

As long as he thought that the corpses of the elves he hated were under his feet, Chouchou Ni felt like he could eat two more bowls of rice.

The moldy green body moved slowly across the land.

There were even wisps of green smoke coming out of the place where the stinky mud crawled, and there were also "sizzling" sounds.

This is the outward manifestation of the toxins in Stinky Mud's body.

Following the fragrance he smelled, Stinky Mud crawled into a forest full of life.

Besides him, there were other elves attracted by the fragrance.

But after seeing Muddy Chow, these elves became either alert or panicked, and moved away from Muddy Chow, as if they were trying to avoid his arrival.

Some elves even choose to leave after seeing the slime.

A king-level rice spoon snake coiled on a big tree nearby, watching the moldy green figure of Chou Chou Ni approaching the place where the fragrance came from.

A look of vigilance flashed in his eyes.

This stinky mud is notorious among the poisonous Pokémon in the Great Swamp.

Unlike those elves that have tribes, this stinky mud has been living alone in the forest for many years.

An elf lived in that mire.

But even so, there are not many elves in this area who dare to provoke that stinky mud.

Don’t be fooled by its ugly color; it looks like a hairy orange.

But that guy's toxicity is among the best even among champion-level elves.

If this stinky mud gets close to you, you don't need any skills, at least your body will be corroded into a pile of bones after being touched by the green mud on its body in a short time.

Even steel-type Pokémons cannot resist the corrosive effects of the toxins in his body.

It’s not like that slime has ever fought against a steel-type Pokémon before, right?

Forget it, although following this smell might yield some incredible treasures.

But you are willing to risk your life for a treasure that you don’t know whether it is useful or not.

Then the gain outweighs the loss.

The king-level rice spoon snake looked unwillingly at the champion-level heterochromatic mudsucker, but ultimately did not catch up with it.

In this big swamp, excessive greed won't allow you to survive long.

On the other side, Rong Qi, who was wearing a protective mask and guarding Bulbasaur, looked at the surrounding Pokémon in confusion.

Giant Tendril and Wind Bell were responsible for collecting the corpses and taking samples respectively.

The two elves cooperated very well.

"Strange, why are there so few elves coming today? There are only a few thousand."

"Boobo~"

Maybe it's because the elves know that there is a terrifying elf trafficker who likes to use fragrance to lure innocent elves, and then do whatever he wants to their bodies when they are dizzy by the fragrance.

The giant vine next to it had countless vines all over its body entwined and dancing in the air.

He quietly showed off his sense of humor.

"It wasn't me who kidnapped those Pokémons. At most, I was the mastermind behind it. You and Venusaur were the main force that helped them commit such atrocities."

What the hell?

The mastermind? Abetting the evil?

It makes them sound like some illegal force.

Can't they be made into some kind of legal organization?

For example, there are Pokémon rescue organizations that provide free physical examinations to wild Pokémon and maintain their health.

It sounds better than the elf dealer.

Although what they are doing now is similar to what those elf traders do when they scout the area.

But how can these two be compared?

How can an elf dealer catch adult elves?

Or the king-level kind.

Can they catch it?

Venusaur quietly increased the concentration of its fragrance.

The number of elves attracted today is indeed quite good.

They had been waiting for so long, yet they had only caught less than five thousand.

Even without Mikoli's help, based on Rong Qi's efficiency, collecting 20,000 elf samples a day shouldn't be a difficult task, right?

Rong Qi was puzzled and thought that maybe he should change places.

Just when Rong Qi was about to let Venusaur move to another place to continue using the scent to fish.

Venusaur suddenly told him that a champion-level Pokémon had stepped into his grass domain.

"A champion-level elf?"

"Since we are here, let's collect some samples."

"Let's go to the elf's lair and take a look. We can't make this trip in vain."

As it was speaking, Venusaur released Sunny Day, and the flowers behind it condensed into a brilliant golden ball of light, then it aimed and fired towards the position of the champion-level Pokémon based on the positioning of the Field of Grass.

"boom!"

"Yeah~"

Thick smoke was floating in the distant sky. Bulbasaur told Rong Qi that he could take Fenglingling to collect samples.

"Vulpecula, why can't you just pull him over here? Why do you want me to go there myself?"

Rong Qi muttered to himself and followed Feng Lingling away.

If you don't exercise more, your limbs will soon degenerate!

Bulbasaur sneered as he looked at Rong Qi who finally got off its back.

Only myself and the other Pokémons can tolerate such a lazy thing. If it were any other Pokémon, they would have abandoned this trainer long ago!

If it weren't for the strict supervision of the almost doll, this guy would definitely ask the magic wall doll to bring his meals to the room.

This guy is already showing signs of evolving into the ultimate parasite!

They absolutely cannot let Rong Qi go down the path of becoming a parasite and never come back!

……

Because of the intervention of that stinky mud, the number of elf samples collected by Rong Qi today was very small, only less than fifteen thousand.

It was nothing compared to the 40,000 samples that Mikoli and I had collected before.

This inevitably made Rong Qi a little depressed.

After placing the samples in a special cold storage, Rong Qi asked about the harvest of the past few days as usual.

"There are still more than 20,000 samples that have not been tested. The elf samples that were sent for testing previously did detect traces of the virus, but they did not meet the requirements of the original virus."

Ms. Reina took out a list of elf samples that had detected traces of the virus.

In order to facilitate the confirmation of the spread of the virus, Ms. Reina also made different comparison tables according to the collection range, elf type, and elf attributes.

Among the tens of thousands of samples that have been tested so far, only a few hundred elf samples were found to be infected with the virus.

It’s not even one percent.

As a source of virus infection, this infection rate is a bit too low?

Rong Qi looked through the areas where these infected elves were located.

There are surprisingly few signs of infection among the elves in the outer areas of the Great Swamp, but inside the Great Swamp, the infection efficiency is dozens of times higher than that in the outer areas.

Although this is only a summary of the infection probability in some areas, it does not necessarily represent the situation in the Everglades.

But it is enough to see part of the situation.

It seems that he needs to go deeper to obtain the original virus.

"Hurry up and do the tests. I will go to a deeper area to collect samples."

"Also, send the sample data collected so far back to the Breeders Association for the association and researchers to review."

"understood."

Ms. Rayna nodded.

Although they came here to assist Rong Qi in collecting samples for testing, if they had any findings, they would still have to report to the Breeders' Association as soon as possible.

"What is the current situation of the alliance?"

“It’s still under control.”

Ms. Reina pushed her glasses on her face and began to report to Rong Qi about the infection situation in the alliance.

"Currently, some major cities in the alliance have not experienced large-scale infections, and the Breeder Associations and Pokémon Centers in various places have also put special medicines on the shelves."

"Also, quarantine areas have been set up in various Pokémon Centers, and the Breeders' Association has also sent people to help."

"Did the Academy of Sciences gain anything?"

Hearing that the situation in the alliance was still under control, Rong Qi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Researchers have developed reagents that have some mitigating effects."

"But the progress of vaccine research is still not ideal."

"As long as it's still under control."

Rong Qi nodded.

He is already trying his best to collect samples for testing.

In order to collect samples as quickly as possible, half of the breeders sent in have been transferred by Ms. Reina to be responsible for sample testing.

The Breeders' Association had no idea that the situation in the Great Swamp was critical. If they wanted to collect samples at this time, they would not be able to do so without sufficient strength.

Mr. Su Yu called Rong Qi yesterday.

Tell Rong Qi not to worry too much about the situation in the alliance and to pay attention to his own safety.

"You are just a breeder, not a champion or a chairman. Just do your best."

In front of Rong Qi, the old man did not hide his selfish motives at all.

Becoming a great person often comes at a price, and Rong Qi has done well enough now.

In response to Master Su Yu's concerns, Rong Qi demonstrated a little bit of his strength.

Venusaur, Gigantic, Gengar, and Dragonite.

There are a total of four master-level elves, three of which can cooperate with Rong Qi to undergo super evolution.

In addition, there is also the Almost Doll that can undergo super evolution and the Wind Chime Ling whose super powers are amplified by Rong Qi.

They can also be regarded as two master-level elves.

Only in this way could Master Su Yu feel at ease.

However, Master Su Yu still gave Rong Qi some instructions.

"Since there is this elf virus in the Great Swamp, there may also be other dangerous viruses and bacteria. It is true that your elf is powerful, but you are just a human."

"Especially since you often go deep into the swamp, you'd better be careful."

In response to Master Su Yu's concern and advice, Rong Qi naturally gave repeated assurances.

Promise yourself to pay attention to your own safety.

He cherishes his life very much.
