Chapter 1: Going out and picking up an injured Ibrahimovic
The late summer in Zhijiang was quite comfortable. Feeling the refreshing cool breeze in the morning, Xia Chen walked leisurely on the bluestone road in the old city.
Among the lush trees on the roadside, Little Bo Bo, who had been hungry all night, was chirping and opening his mouth, waiting for his mother to feed him.
The unlucky guy who became food was a fat cabbage caterpillar.
The big bird used its sharp beak to ruthlessly cut it into several pieces, and fed it to the children's mouths even with rain and dew on the ground.
This situation vividly interprets "the early bug is eaten by the bird".
Xia Chen was already accustomed to this scene, and after taking a glance, he stopped paying attention.
If he had to use a metaphor, he believed that his current situation was not much better than that of the cabbage caterpillar.
Not even as good as those Bobos...
Although it sounds a bit strange, but... at least Bobo still has a mother, right?
As a time traveler who has been in this world for more than half a year, Xia Chen feels that his bad luck is really outrageous.
The seniors each had a plug-in, so forget it and I haven't even seen them. My parents in this life have also mysteriously disappeared.
All that was left to Xia Chen was a dilapidated old house in the ancient city of Zhijiang, and a modest pension arranged by his parents' organization.
Xia Chen felt that if he were the protagonist of the novel, he would also be the kind of person who was popular in Qidian ten years ago, with a bitter and resentful beginning.
The only two things worth comforting are that my current body is the same as the original world, simple and plain——
One word "handsome" is enough to sum up his ordinary appearance.
The second point is, of course, that the world I traveled through is not bad.
…………
To put it simply, it is a technologically advanced elf world that combines Pokémon animation and multiple world views.
Although it is not as innocent and innocent as the Ziguoxiang animation, it is much better than the cruel world view of the special episode.
Overall, it can barely be called an ideal utopian world.
As for the reason...this is something anyone with a little bit of thinking ability can figure out.
A world with various black technologies in the Pokémon world, extremely abundant resources, and people's overall social concepts are relatively simple. No matter how it develops, it will be a paradise on earth.
The most important thing is that there are magical existences like elves that violate the [Law of Conservation of Mass and Energy], [Law of Entropy Increase], and [Law of Thermodynamics]!
Let’s not talk about the legendary electric pillar Regielchi that can provide electricity to the entire Galar region.
Even a pickup truck described as "as numerous as wild dogs on the roadside" can provide a lot of electricity.
Others such as the heat energy of fire elves, the ice and snow of ice elves, the biological energy of grass elves...
With such nearly inexhaustible energy, why worry about survival?
But according to the needs theory of previous lives, there are many levels of needs beyond survival, such as the realization of the highest level of self-worth.
Unlike other senior time travellers, Xia Chen does not have such a vague ideal of becoming a legendary trainer, and he is not that ambitious.
But as an avid elf lover, when I came to this world, I would of course want to leave some mark of my existence.
So after he adapted to the environment and learned that the development of some parts of the world was slightly different from what he knew, he set a small goal——
Become a Salted Fish Gym Leader, or a Heavenly King if you have the ability, and then raise a lot of your favorite elves to spend the rest of your life with.
…………
Obviously, even in this elven world where food and clothing are abundant, this pursuit is not simple.
Just talking about the Taoist temple owners, the Donghuang area, which is about the same size as the motherland in the previous life, only has a dozen or so first-tier ones.
Not to mention there are only four kings in one term.
You know, although this world can guarantee that people will not starve to death, it is extremely expensive to become an elite trainer.
Excellent Elf Eggs, which often cost hundreds of thousands, are the first threshold.
You can just pick up a green caterpillar on the roadside and cultivate it, but no one can guarantee how far it will go on the long road to becoming a trainer...
The elf egg is only the first step. Next, there will be the infancy, growth, and adulthood of the elf... Which stage should not be spent to cultivate?
It is a true reflection of the world that raising an elf costs more than raising a child.
But everything depends on human effort. Now Xia Chen, a poor and impoverished senior high school student, is working tirelessly for this goal.
It's a bit exaggerated to say that he is poor and useless. At least, Xia Chen has complete knowledge of elves from his previous life to the sun and moon period.
Some of them are not yet discovered in this world.
This is his only way to climb up from the bottom of the elf world.
In order to prevent himself from forgetting, he also deliberately wrote down the information in a small notebook, waiting for him to start his plan after making his first pot of gold.
That's right, not only trainers, breeders, and researchers, but also any occupation related to elves, money is definitely indispensable.
This is true even if Xia Shen knows the direction and ultimate goal of the research.
For example, the most cost-effective research that Xia Chen could think of was also the project that he planned to use as a stepping stone for the elf academic world——
The evolution of Fairy Eevee requires at least one Eevee, right?
Fortunately, Xia Chen, who had been saving money for a year, would soon be able to collect the start-up capital for an Ibrahimovic, just waiting for his salary to be paid next month.
…………
As a high school student, Xia Shen would definitely not do an inefficient job like serving dishes, which requires time and energy in exchange for pay.
He is now a well-known food court owner in pilipili.
Although the Donghuang area where Xia Chen is located is a magically modified version of the motherland in his previous life, there are still many differences, such as the food.
In his previous life, Xia Chen was a foodie, and his knowledge and research on food was second only to Pokémon.
Therefore, in just over half a year, Xia Chen, who is not very prolific, has become famous in the food court. This month, because he spent more time making videos during the summer vacation, his fans have exploded.
Naturally, this month’s income is also worth looking forward to.
As his income increases, Xia Chen becomes more motivated to make videos.
So, on this Saturday morning when most people were still sleeping in, Xia Chen was already walking diligently on the way to the vegetable market.
The raw materials in the morning are the freshest, and the finished dishes look more appetizing.
When cooking, we pay attention to the color, flavor and flavor. The audience in front of the screen can neither smell the aroma nor taste the taste. How can we deceive...
Oh no, how can we make them throw those two round things willingly?
Speaking of which, I haven’t decided on the dishes to be made in this video yet. This week’s theme is Shandong cuisine, which was known as the first of the eight major cuisines in the previous life.
Shandong cuisine pays attention to the quality of raw materials. It likes to use salt to enhance the freshness and soup to enhance the freshness. Most of the dishes are salty and fresh. Most people are used to it, so it is natural that it is popular.
How about the whole masterpiece, roasted sea cucumber with green onion?
I just don’t know if the braised sea cucumber with scallions from the scallion duck would taste better... Stop it, stop it, this is illegal.
Xia Chen was thinking wildly when a soft and weak call came from his ears.
"Buyi..."
Is this...Ibrahimovic's cry?
Xia Chen was stunned and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a cute, fluffy but dirty fox-like elf shivering in a corner of the alley.
It's just a cute little Eevee.
This Eevee didn't know whether it was because of the cold or other reasons, but its body was curled up and trembling uncontrollably.
The big eyes of the iconic Kazilan were tightly closed at the moment, and the milky-white hair on her neck and tail were stained black by the sewage, making her look pitiful.
Why is there an injured Eevee here?
There are too many possibilities, and many possibilities popped up in Xia Chen's mind instantly.
He didn't think twice and walked over quickly.
No matter what, Xia Chen couldn't ignore the poor little chick lying on the side of the road, harmless to humans and animals.
