Elves: My Fantasy World

When Shen Yu returned to his room at noon, Lu Minxi leaned over and showed him a video clip—a clip of his earlier statement that morning, "I'll just use one Beedrill." The title, however, wasn't as provocative: "The Old Poisoner Talks About His Plans for the Elite Four Battle..."

Shen Yu blinked, paused for two seconds, then sensed something was wrong, narrowed his eyes, and asked a question.

"Isn't this Qian Zhenduo's portrait?"

Lu Minxi was also visibly taken aback. She turned her phone around to look at it herself and let out a simple, surprised exclamation.

"Damn it! Why didn't you say so earlier!"

Shen Yu clicked on the profile picture and looked inside, only to find that this guy had already started doing the work of "slicing up the man," and had basically cut out his previous battles and made them into videos.

Previously, Qian Zhenduo worked as a restaurant review blogger. After starting to work out, he rarely posts restaurant review videos anymore. He mostly promotes new investments made by the Qian family, and what new products Zhang Youxi has recently developed...

You, Qian Zhenduo, haven't seen me for a while. I was wondering why you hadn't thought to call me lately. Turns out you had this planned all along!

Shen Yu was quite interested in what the online comments would be after he said those things, so he clicked on the comments section—

[Amazing Wisdom Tree: Wait, isn't being a content creator great? Why are you trying to piggyback on the King of Pop's fame? Has the old poisoner gone mad?]

[Reply: Dude, how long has it been since you checked your phone? Didn't Old Poison already save a city during the monster disaster?]

Shen Yu raised an eyebrow, because the comments below were already things like "the official mythological figures are causing trouble."

Huh? I feel like they're right.

Shen Yu rolled his eyes and opened his trainer software certification homepage, which still showed the beginner trainer icon he had registered with.

Tsk, I don't think it's the official's fault; I'm just a lazy bum.

Shen Yu felt his face getting hot, but he had no desire to get certified at a new level.

The reason is simple: laziness.

If possible, Shen Yu actually wanted Rotom to go to the venue and he could commentate on the match from his room, but that wouldn't comply with the official rules for certified commentators... Anyone who is present at the venue must be there in person.

Shen Yu shrugged. He didn't care what people said online, since he was going to do something big that afternoon.

Lu Minxi exited the video, refreshed the Bilibili homepage, but then froze and tugged at Shen Yu's sleeve again.

"Look, I've come across Cleo's response video again."

Such a coincidence?

This is an interview video, conducted after the morning's matches, featuring interviews with the champions and top players from the winning region.

Clio's response was also very simple, just one sentence.

"I look forward to our match. I accept this challenge."

Challenge? The keyword has been triggered. Shen Yu chuckled and nudged Lu Minxi with his elbow.

"Actually, he's the challenger!"

Shen Yu and Lu Minxi looked at each other, unable to hold back their laughter.

…………

The midday nap was still a warm and pleasant experience.

At 1:30 pm, the afternoon sun was shining brightly, and Shen Yu felt warm all over.

Looking at Ledo sitting behind him, he was actually nodding to him with a friendly smile on his face, clearly unaware of what he was about to face.

After all, losing to Lu Minxi was normal for him, since Lu Minxi was one of the top champions among all the champions...

But when the local superstar came all the way up and challenged him for the championship, and he couldn't even stop the opponent... that was a bit embarrassing.

So, having gotten the answer at noon, Ledo can now be said to have no weaknesses, after all, he's already practically a semi-retired player.

However, sometimes a middle-aged man's breakdown can happen in an instant.

Mr. Michel went to work as usual. While sitting in the host's seat, he glanced at what he was going to explain that day... and then unconsciously one eye became bigger than the other.

He leaned close to the microphone, tested the sound a couple of times, and then shouted in his incredibly powerful voice—

"I'm sure all the spectators are looking forward to the afternoon's matches!"

"After discussions between both sides, and with the agreement of the top players and champions from both regions, this afternoon's match will only be a 6 vs 6 game."

Let's welcome both teams!

"Dongyao—Shen Yu!"

"And our Sinfarina region's champion! Lai-do!!"

Shen Yu stood up, gave him a faint smile with the same expression he had just shown Leido, and walked back down the steps...

Leido: (?°?°?). . .

Blink your eyes. (°ー°〃)

You didn't say that at noon.

You clearly said at noon that Lu Minxi was the one who called me, right?

No, according to the agreement between the two superstars... nobody told me about this at all.

Ledo turned his head to the left and looked at his group of colleagues—who were all looking down, either playing on their phones, pretending to read reports, or doing this or that...

Leido was stunned.

Oh my god, so I was the one who got sold out?

You've seen real videos of other people battling mythical beasts but you're too scared to go up there, so you're sending me to jail?!

Do you think I can beat him?

At this moment, Asbek, the Fire Attribute King who often accompanied Leido on business trips to Dongyao, patted him on the shoulder and spoke to him earnestly.

"Brother, when you sit in the champion's seat, you have to take on a lot more responsibility."

On the surface, Leido sighed helplessly, but in his heart he was cursing.

Wow, having a bunch of colleagues like you is my bad luck.

Now you want to tell the referee that these people didn't consult me? Don't I have any dignity? Do I have to treat this when facing a rookie-level trainer?

The moment Ledo stood up, his entire demeanor underwent a dramatic transformation.

It's not that I've come to terms with it, it's that I'm at my wit's end.

…………

Upon entering the arena, the two competitors bumped fists.

Leido didn't forget to shake Shen Yu's hand firmly, a relieved smile on his face.

“Mr. Shen, go easy on him, at least use a few more Pokémon…”

"Okay?"

Shen Yu laughed, grinning from ear to ear.

"No problem~"

The two gradually moved away from each other and stood in their own places.

"Giant Beedrill."

"Hercules!"

"Mega evolution!"

The last sentence did not come from Shen Yu, but from Leido in front of him!

Shen Yu was startled, then subconsciously raised the corners of his mouth.

It seems today's battle won't be too boring.

I wonder if Beedrill has lost its grip on Outrage; it's quite disobedient now.

A dazzling light filled Shen Yu's eyes; a massive dragon-headed carapace grew from the back of the Mighty Crocodile, its arms encircling its lower jaw—

The two small red spikes growing from the side of the crocodile are said to be imitations of the two short arms of the baby crocodile when it was young...

As the light faded, Shen Yu, slightly excited, put his hands in his pockets.

"First we attack, then we'll mega."
