Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

"Don't worry, I couldn't afford it even if I sold you."

Dr. Sun Siming rolled his eyes at Lin Xuan. Such a precious Zapdos feather would be a treasure to any Electric-type Pokémon. If it were to be auctioned off, its price would be astronomical.

"By the way, sign a contract before you pick up the medicine."

Dr. Sun Siming was about to hand the medicine to Lin Xuan when he quickly took it back.

"What, what contract?"

"It's a contract of servitude. You'll be working for our research institute for the rest of your life," Dr. Sun Siming said calmly. "But don't worry, room and board are provided."

Lin Xuan: ! ! ? ?

"Okay, just kidding. After signing the contract, Xiao Dian will need to cooperate with us to retrieve some data so that we can better understand the situation."

"Ah."

Lin Xuan nodded.

"Speaking of which, with your personality, do you think our research institute makes any money?" Lin Xuan suddenly thought of this question while signing the document, and Dr. Sun Siming's hand holding the teacup paused in mid-air for a moment.

Logically speaking, the research institute should have a lot of research results and should not lack money. As Lin Xuan knows, a few years ago they purchased a large number of King's Tokens, and then "coincidentally" discovered a month later that the Dumb Royal Family evolved with the King's Tokens.

During that period, the price of the King's Token soared much higher than that of graphics cards. After all, Slowpoke only has two evolutions, Slowbro and Slowking, and their pure strength is actually quite similar, and both are Psychic and Water types.

But one thing to know is that Slowking's wisdom is on par with that of Oranguru, and it is known as the Sage of the Sea. There are quite a few trainers who train because of this title.

Back then, the price of the King's Token increased several times or even dozens of times. After all, its original purpose was to increase the probability of skill flinching, which was only useful for a very small number of Pokémon. But now it has been transformed into an evolution item, and its value has skyrocketed.

"Well, we can still make a little money."

The institute's main investment is still in Eevee. Even if the evolution methods of Umbreon and Espeon are figured out, it will be difficult to make money from it. It will rely more on subsidies.

"I remember that Xiao Dian's strength was just improved recently, right?"

"Yes, it just went from one star to two stars." Lin Xuan nodded.

"Then let's wait a while longer, until the smaller dose stabilizes a bit, before giving it to him."

Dr. Sun Siming handed the medicine to Lin Xuan.

"Since it's your first time taking it, I've deliberately reduced the dosage, but the effect should still be quite noticeable. You'll have to be careful."

"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on it." Lin Xuan took the medicine.

"You may not have understood what I meant. What I meant was to be careful and find a more open place, preferably some cover, to hide in."

Lin Xuan: ...

Why do I, the trainer, feel more vulnerable even though it's just a small amount of medicine?

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.

Back home, Lin Xuan locked the box containing the medicine in the cabinet and put it away safely.

"According to the doctor, it will take at least a week for your condition to stabilize."

After finishing dinner, Lin Xuan quickly went to the live broadcast room. Although the competition was over, Lin Xuan still felt it was necessary to do some commentary in order to make his salary worthwhile.

I absolutely did not come here to show off! Absolutely not!

First, there's the title of the live stream: "[A Heartbreaking Recap: Losing Second Place]".

Why are you so punctual today?

[It's a rare opportunity to brag about oneself, how could I not be on time?]

What's with the "heartbreaking loss of runner-up"?

[Damn it, he got me again.]

"Ahem, brothers, did you watch today's match? If there are any viewers who didn't, I can only say it's a real shame, but it's okay, I'll show you all another time!"

“Fran (Da’s SC - [Where is Mimikyu-sensei’s camera?] Oh, I almost forgot, I’ll get it now.”

Lin Xuan quickly took out a camera from the side and plugged it in. Since it was her first time using this thing, she spent a little time adjusting it.

"Alright, let's officially step into the realm of beauty-focused live streamers."

Lin Xuan pointed the camera at herself and then said with a smile.

Wow, Mimikyu-sensei is so cute!

Damn, this guy is way too handsome!

If only Mimikyu-sensei could just stay silent.

What a waste of such a beautiful appearance.

"Thanks to Mimikyu-sensei's single-pusher for the SC—【Can Mimikyu-sensei challenge herself to not speak for an hour?】No!"

[His voice is very pleasant, but why does it just feel off?]

What should I do if I feel like laughing whenever I hear Mimikyuu-sensei's voice?

[It's already marinated to the point of being flavorful, there's nothing we can do about it.]

"Wait for me a minute~"

After turning on the camera, Lin Xuan thought for a moment, then greeted the live stream audience before walking out and bringing the two little ones in with her.

"Ibrahimovic?"

Upon seeing the camera, Ibu jumped onto the table with some curiosity, patted it with its little paws, and made a cute, bewildered expression.

[Eevee! So cute!]

Ah, I'm dead.

[From now on, this live stream will be exclusively for Ibu and Little Point. Male viewers, please leave.]

Who is Mimikyu? I'm really not familiar with him.

Chapter 134 What does it mean to be talented but lacking in virtue?

Lin Xuan was furious when she saw the comments. "You want to take over my live stream again, don't you?"

Lin Xuan sat down on the chair and hugged Eevee, rubbing it a few times.

"Eevee is so cute, and it's so soft to touch. It's a pity you can't touch it~" Lin Xuan said with a regretful tone.

【? ? ? 】

【Did anyone say that?】

[Teacher Mimi Qiu, you've gotten too cocky!]

You might as well turn off the camera, or I might want to kill you.

[Male viewer, shut up!]

"Ahem, let's get started on our exciting debriefing now. Let's analyze how the streamer narrowly missed out on second place in the morning and afternoon matches!"

The fans in the live stream were immediately confused. Lin Xuan's combat and commentary skills were undoubtedly top-notch, and his face also met the standards of a good-looking streamer. But why did his mouth have to be so annoying?

"Let's take a look at the match this morning. Although it was only the semi-final, and it was not even as difficult as the match where Xiaodian fought against Mengmengshi alone, this match really determined the final winner!"

"Dandan!"

【It's all thanks to me!】

Just as Lin Xuan was speaking, Xiao Dian immediately came in and interrupted, standing directly in front of the camera on the table.

You worked so hard on the filming this morning, but it's all thanks to me, okay?

"Okay, you did have a tiny bit of credit, and your acting was pretty good, but the main credit definitely goes to me, since I came up with all the tactics... Alright, alright, that's your credit!"

Lin Xuan first pushed the little guy's head to the side. How could she let this guy monopolize the camera?

Then, seeing the crackling electricity on Xiaodian's cheeks, Lin Xuan's lips twitched, but she still put the guy in front of the camera.

[Movie · · · · Emperor]

So, the morning performance was really just an act?

They really fooled us all!

"Ahem, tactics are all about deception!" Lin Xuan clicked on the video of Xiao Dian's battle against Hua Liao Huan Huan this morning. "Let me show you what it truly means to be talented but lacking in virtue!"

【Talented but lacking virtue - A riddle imitating Qiu】

What should I do if I want to hit someone?

[Player-assisted boosting]

Although Lin Xuan had Xiao Dian use Shadow Clone to buy some time in the early stages of the match, the earlier part was basically garbage time, which Lin Xuan quickly skipped and watched. Then he clicked on the main event, the match against Long Xing at noon.

"Let's take a look at the pre-battle dialogue. The mysterious contestant's approach was obviously not without reason; he must have had a special purpose. I guess he was trying to study the opponent's personality. You know, a trainer's personality can greatly influence their Pokémon and also affect tactical arrangements."

"Here, the mysterious player is probably studying the opponent's possible tactical arrangements."

Oh! I see!

[Teacher Mimikyu is so meticulous!]

I've learned it!
