It's so painful! So hard! So difficult!

After hearing Bai Lin's answer, Mephistopheles was slightly stunned. After a long while, he replied casually,

"Hungry, okay."

The gentleness and spirit of the girl's temperament instantly dissipated from Mephistopheles, and in turn, a sense of cuteness spread to Bai Lin. This made Bai Lin a little confused, and even gave him some extra understanding.

Isn't this the type of person who won't pay attention to others unless they are called affectionately?

The world is so big that there are all kinds of strange things. Moreover, this is a different world. There are even strange races that rely on farming to turn mountains into plateaus. Individual differences naturally have infinite possibilities. Just when Bai Lin wanted to test it with words again, another elf beside him spoke, interrupting Bai Lin's thoughts.

"Holy Son of Man, you don't have to worry too much. Xiao Mi is just like this all the time. She'll be in a daze from time to time and not be able to figure out what's going on. She's not dissatisfied with your behavior, so don't worry."

The young woman who spoke had a relatively common chestnut-colored hair, braided past her shoulders and slightly curled at the ends. Against her lovely face, she looked simple yet perfectly suited to her hairstyle. Her eyes, however, completely dispelled this simple aura. A seemingly casual tinge of blue adorned her clear pupils, but this blue was the pinnacle of ultramarine.

The slight tremor of the snow-capped mountaintops in the gentle breeze, the stunning moment of the tranquil coastline mingling with the morning sun—these were all the infinite blue that her eyes held. Even someone like Bai Lin was startled by the sudden glance, but she quickly collected her thoughts.

As if to confirm the blue-eyed girl's statement, Mephistopheles nodded slightly, making a faint "hmm" sound. He seemed a little distracted, perhaps thinking about something. The blue-eyed girl seemed to have long been accustomed to this. She sighed slightly and continued,

"Xiao Mi is always like this, so let me introduce myself first. My name is Phoenix Yin Shang Xue Fei Chang Mang, you can just call me by my name."

Bai Lin now carefully examined the blue-eyed girl. While her appearance might be reserved and beautiful, her aura alone made her stand out from the crowd. Even in her casual attire, her striking presence made Bai Lin unable to look away.

Looking at her is like walking into a seemingly small coffee shop and drinking the purest Blue Mountain tea, which is extremely surprising.

"Well, nice to meet you, Phoenix."

Bai Lin was also a little enthusiastic about this girl who seemed to be more talkative and lively. But Phoenix's performance was beyond Bai Lin's expectations. She lowered her hand and said to Bai Lin,

"Speaking of which, Holy Son, the Queen should have asked you to come and exchange feelings with us, and help each other, right? We've all told you our names, but you haven't introduced yourself. Doesn't that seem a bit strange?"

The aggressiveness was reflected in the girl's words. This girl, who was a whole head shorter than Bai Lin, stumped Bai Lin with just one question.

Chapter 619 Xiaomi

According to common sense, Bai Lin should have given a name, but being in a foreign race, it is understandable to keep a name secret. Considering that the elves should be trustworthy, and the other party also gave their real names, Bai Lin hesitated for a while on this point, but before she could speak, another voice came out.

"Phoenix, don't embarrass her. Her name is just a code name. We know she's the Son of Man, and that's enough. After all, you and I both know that her life isn't easy, so it's understandable that she'd be a bit cautious."

It was a remarkably cheerful voice. Though not as gentle as the Queen's, the words made Bai Lin feel even warmer. The speaker was a petite female elf with short gray hair and purple eyes. Of the four people present, she appeared the smallest, yet exuded the most mature aura.

The gray-haired girl, like Phoenix, had a lovely face. Though her hair color was a bit dull, it looked vibrant and bright. Her vigorous eyes and crisp short hair complemented her cheerful demeanor. She wasn't gentle, but rather approachable, like a slightly warmer hot spring.

The standard cute female clothing, when worn by her, brought out her unique girlish charm, but it also didn't make her look too soft. Bai Lin would say that this type of person was a very good-looking female best friend.

She calmly helped others out of trouble and rationally resolved any conflicts that might arise. She did exactly what a good friend would do.

"After all, she's just a guest, a helper entrusted by the Queen to work with us. There's no need for us to ask her name. If you want to make friends with her, you can ask her."

The gray-haired girl added leisurely, but Phoenix didn't seem to appreciate it. She immediately followed up with a reply, as if she was angry.

"How do you know I don't want to be friends with her?"

"Would you use such coercive words with a new friend you'd just met? If you get to know her slowly, and she's interested in making friends, she'll definitely introduce herself. Don't you know that very well?"

Faced with this well-reasoned retort, Phoenix simply glared at Anna, then stretched out his hands and naturally took one of Mephistopheles' hands, then said to the latter in a rather coquettish tone,

"Xiao Mi, don't you think that exchanging names upon meeting someone is a very important thing, right?"

The topic was suddenly changed. Mephistopheles was not as stunned as before. She ignored the girl's intimate behavior and just said calmly,

"I think...names don't really matter. As long as we can tell who's who, that's all that matters. Speaking of which, Phoenix, when we first met, I didn't even know your real name."

The simple and plain statement of facts, in this situation, seemed so unreasonable. Not to mention Phoenix, even Bai Lin beside him was looking at Mephistopheles in shock.

She's a natural...and seems pretty smart, but telling the truth in this situation doesn't seem right to her friends. Could it be that the relationship between these two isn't as close as it seems?

Phoenix, who had no steps, seemed to have a slightly changed expression, but she did not show any dissatisfaction. After a slight adjustment, she quickly said,

"My situation was special. I was an idol at the time, so it wouldn't have been nice to just reveal my real name to someone I'd just met."

"That's it..."

Mephistopheles didn't seem to care much about Phoenix's words, but fell into deep thought. Seeing that his explanation didn't seem to be recognized by the other party, Phoenix immediately held the other party's hand tighter, pulled the other party away, and talked more. Anna looked at the two of them, sighed and shook her head, then turned to Bai Lin and said,

"Phoenix is ​​sometimes a little straightforward in strange places. You don't have to think too much about it. We elves have many ways to find out people's real names. It's just that she rarely meets people who don't share their names with her, so she's a little concerned."

"Anna Er Baha Qian Duiyou, this is my name. Please take good care of me in the coming period, Holy Son of Humanity."

Anna introduced herself to Bai Lin formally with a smile. Bai Lin had a good impression of this girl, so she immediately replied politely.

"Well, please take care of me."

At that moment, a powerful pressure suddenly came from Bai Lin's side, as if something had locked onto her and was approaching her at an incredible speed. Bai Lin immediately looked in that direction and saw a shadow rushing towards her at a rapid speed. It collided with Anna in front of Bai Lin, causing her to stumble several steps. The shadow, using the impact as a buffer, steadied itself and revealed its true appearance.

The person standing in front of Bai Lin was Kanana, the one who had brought Bai Lin to the Forest of Elves. Although she still looked messy, her eyes were full of energy. She looked at Bai Lin and called out,

"I heard that you are a friend of Chrissy's. Is it true or false?"

The sudden enthusiasm that came out of this seemingly typical homegirl startled Bai Lin. She thought for a moment, then slowly said,

"Claire and I... have an okay relationship, but we're not close friends."

"Stop talking so much nonsense! Since you're on good terms with Kress, you're definitely not boring! You came to us this time to bring us good news, right? Should we turn this Elf Forest upside down first and then use the opportunity to relocate, or should we just escape and do something bad outside?"

Kadena's eyes became extremely hot, like two stars, flashing with scorching light, which made Bai Lin embarrassed again. Fortunately, Anna, who had just been bumped, scratched her head again, glanced at Kadena with dissatisfaction, and walked over to say,

"Okay, Kanena, don't scare people. The Human Saint Son is indeed here to entertain us, but it's definitely not what you think."

As she spoke, Anna looked towards Bai Lin again and explained.

Chapter 620: Encourage Me

"This Karena is the one among us who was originally closest to Kress, and the one who was most deeply poisoned by her. She's still thinking about it today, waiting for Kress to come back and take us out to do something big. I can only say that she is really a fool."

"But normally she'd be long late for an appointment, or even stand you up. But today, because she heard you were close to Chris, she came so early. Even that foolishness led to something good."

Anna unscrupulously revealed the scars of her colleague to Bai Lin. Of course, Karina was not without temper. She immediately glared at Anna fiercely and said,

"Are you talking about G8? If you really think Chris just used and abandoned us, why did you take the bait back then? You act like you're so smart and are giving others advice, ruining the relationship between me and the new sisters?"

Kaneana pointed at Anna and shot back sharply with a strange gesture. Anna blushed slightly and replied,

"That was a moment of carelessness on my part. I'm not like you. You're so mean the first time we meet, and we're still sisters. Be careful not to scare people off by you."

"Bah, you're so noble, what's wrong with using some dirty words? Don't you think so, Holy Son?"

As he spoke, Kanana walked to Bai Lin's side very enthusiastically, put his arm around her shoulders, and looked at Anna with a smile, as if declaring some sovereignty.

Bai Lin glanced at the enthusiastic Kaneana and realized Anna's feelings, the kind of sighing and shaking head. However, she still replied in a proper manner,

"Yeah, it's okay to use some swear words, but whether you use swear words or not, you must think clearly before you speak."

Bai Lin didn't mean anything by this. She was also a person who loved to swear, so she naturally supported the second half of Kane's words. However, Chris had never mentioned anything about wanting to return home to Bai Lin. She even specifically told Bai Lin not to reveal where she lived if she met the elves.

Just as Anna said, Kanena was deeply poisoned by Claire, and her brain was indeed not working that well, so Bai Lin secretly reminded her in a straightforward yet somewhat tactful way.

But this Kanena also lived up to everyone's expectations. She patted her chest, glanced at Bai Lin who was in her arms with some complacency, then looked at Anna and said with an arrogant smile,

"Did you hear that, Anna? Everyone is supporting me, so stop talking nonsense!"

What kind of a bitch is Katina? Anna is not. She almost laughed out loud when she saw Katina's expression. However, she seemed to be very accustomed to this environment. She just waved her hand and said perfunctorily,

"Okay, okay, got it."

Talking about this, Bai Lin looked around and asked with some doubts,

"Come to think of it, your queen once told me that I would meet five elves here. Since Anna said that Kane is the one who is most late, what about the other one?"

Without waiting for Anna to answer, Kane, who was still hugging Bai Lin, seemed to want to take the credit and answered Bai Lin very eagerly.

"She's just a pure sword tomb. She's always late, but she only arrives a little earlier than me. It's obvious that she wants to be late and deliberately annoy me. But today I arrived on time, so that girl couldn't annoy me."

"What do you mean by deliberately disgusting you? I didn't do that. Stop talking nonsense, okay? I was obviously a little late because of something. How could I be targeting you?"

A short, silver-haired girl, dressed in a light-colored pajamas, emerged from the woods, walking slowly and talking. She exuded a homebody aura similar to that of Karna, but she appeared to be in excellent health, clearly not suffering from a severe form of poison.

Compared with the others, the silver-haired girl was a little thin. Although the smile on her face was very beautiful, it always made people feel a little mean, as if, as Kanena said, this person was a "Sword Tomb".

"I am Yinzi Gu Black Maji, hello, the Holy Son of Humanity."

"Well, hello. So, everyone is here now, right? Before we get down to business, I'd like to ask you one thing. I think you all know why we're gathered here today."

The appearance of these elves one after another had thoroughly convinced Bai Lin that these beautiful women with distinct personalities all had some flaws. Therefore, as the leader of this commission, the first thing she needed to confirm was everyone's common goal.

If someone has a misunderstanding about what to do next because of an illness, it would be like Bai Lin is at the helm of a ship ready to set off for London, but the crew uses technology on the ship to make a plane out of stones and seal skins to fly back to London. This is a very cruel behavior.

The two people who had been fighting not far away also came back. As a man with a relatively good brain, Mephistopheles quickly answered,

"You're supposed to come up with some interesting things for us and other elves to entertain us, right?"

Seeing that the other party's answer was so correct and serious, Bai Lin nodded with satisfaction. She looked at everyone and continued,

"You are right. I came here for this very purpose. To be honest, the main reason I came to work with you is because your queen promised me some rewards. Similarly, I also know that if this matter is completed successfully, you will also have the right to leave this forest and continue to travel in the outside world."

"Therefore, we need to work together to make this a success so that both sides can get what they want. If everyone works a little harder, I believe that with your ingenuity, it won't be difficult to come up with something."

Bai Lin's feelings about these people were clear: playing the emotional card was useless. Only by emphasizing collective interests could they be united. As for the second half of Bai Lin's words... what a joke! If these idiots could come up with something with their ingenuity, there wouldn't be any idiots in the elves. She was simply trying to boost morale.

As a leader, even if it is temporary, you still have to do some work.

Bai Lin's pre-war declaration was completely up to standard.

Chapter 621: Thriving

According to common sense, being able to say such inspiring words to someone you've just met is already quite remarkable. But Bai Lin overlooked one problem: in front of her were a row of troubled girls. Could such words really win their hearts?

Bai Lin's words did not receive a positive response, but someone slowly raised his hand. It was Yin Zi who came the latest. Bai Lin hesitated for a moment and then said,

"What's the problem, Silver?"

"I want to ask, after we finish this... are we going to leave the forest and continue our journey?"

The other party's words seemed to have several different meanings. Bai Lin quickly found some clues from her words, and then replied to Yin Zi,

"If you don't want to do that, you don't have to go out and enjoy the entertainment you have in the Elf Forest—"

"But I can do that now. I can sleep when I want and play when I want. According to you, even if we go outside the forest again, we can only do things within the prescribed scope, just like before, right? That kind of thing really doesn't appeal to us."

Yin Zi's slow words were filled with a hint of sarcasm, which not only caused Bai Lin's mood to fluctuate, but also made her re-examine the question raised by Yin Zi. She glanced at the faces of the people around her and saw that none of them seemed to be very interested in this matter.

What should we do? Bribery won't work. If we lack the simplest things like this to motivate these problem children, it will be a huge challenge.

Just when Bai Lin was having a headache, Nakadana patted Bai Lin's shoulder very loyally, then glared at Yin Zi in front of him and shouted loudly,

"What are you talking about? She's the one Chris called in to help us. She must have already figured out what to do after she gets out. Let's finish this first. There's definitely a lot more to come!"

"Is there really such a great opportunity? Instead of yelling at me so loudly, why not ask the Holy Son next to you if he has any plans after leaving?"

Yin Zi retaliated without hesitation, and Kaneko immediately took a step back as if she had eaten it. She shook Bai Lin's shoulders and said,

"Hey, say something quickly! Don't let that Yin Zi be so arrogant all by himself."

But no matter how Kaneana persuaded her, Bai Lin remained unmoved. She seemed frozen, with her head down and a sullen expression, leaving no one to know what she was thinking. Soon, Yin Zi smiled calmly, like a winner. She yawned, turned around, and walked away, waving to the crowd and saying,

"I'm sleepy. I'm going back to sleep. Call me when there's something good."

"You guys, you run so fast?!"

Seeing that Bai Lin didn't move, Kane's tone towards Yin Zi was not as aggressive as before. Anna, who had been silent beside him, said to Bai Lin,

"I know where she's going. Do you need me to go and call her back first?"

At this time, Bai Lin finally raised her head. She took a deep breath and did not look away. Instead, she said,

"No, no, this is indeed my problem. In fact, many of you may not be so enthusiastic about the Queen's promise. I should be aware of this."

What really piqued the elves' interest wasn't returning to the continent to continue their journey. What they needed was exactly what Bai Lin had been commissioned to create. A brand new form of entertainment that would captivate and captivate people—that was the most important thing.

Using ordinary methods to deal with these elves is useless. If he wants to get the highest reward promised by the Queen, he must be a little more serious. In the thinking just now, Bai Lin's conclusion about the next step to be taken is naturally -

"First, let's talk about why you were arrested for talking nonsense."

From what I've just seen, the personalities of these elves are clearly much more complex than the "slightly clever young people" the Queen described. And if the developers of an entertainment project don't fully understand their user base, how can they create something that appeals to people?

Even if there are only five people in front of him, Bai Lin has to understand them thoroughly before he can roughly grasp the direction.

"Ah? Are you asking this kind of question first? Let me start by explaining first—"

As soon as Bai Lin finished speaking, Kadenna's interest seemed to surge to the sky. He rolled up his sleeves and was about to speak to Bai Lin, but Bai Lin raised a hand and interrupted Kadenna.

"No, you don't have to."

“Hah?! Why?!”

The sudden enthusiasm was extinguished by the flood. Even a bitch like Kadenna would definitely feel very disappointed, right? Bai Lin was naturally very clear about this. She turned sideways, looked at Kadenna, and said,

"After all, we are all close friends of Chris. Even if you don't say something, I understand it."

As soon as Bai Lin said this, Kanana felt as if she had been hit hard in the heart. Her body shook and she took two steps back. The six words "Chris's best friend" kept playing in her mind in a loop, making her fall into a trance.
