Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

Gardevoir won't protect you if you do that!

"Thank you for the SC for Gardevoir with large root - [Mimikyu-sensei, does your Gardevoir have a large root?] Uh... no, don't worry, I checked it."

Lin Xuan answered decisively, and then picked up the figurine and continued:

"Look at this Gardevoir's little skirt. I checked it before buying it to make sure it didn't have a big root. Let me show it to you... never mind, I won't show it to you. It's a bit too much to show."

Chapter 401 Dream Device

The qualifiers were not difficult for Lin Xuan. Except for the later matches, the opponents he faced were all very strong because they had won all their previous matches. Otherwise, Lin Xuan could have easily swept through the competition.

However, Lin Xuan was actually quite lucky. At least she didn't encounter any particularly strong opponents. Even Song Chen had a mishap earlier, but perhaps because of that mishap, the opponents she faced afterward weren't that strong, and she ultimately entered the main competition with only one loss.

Liu Quan, like Lin Xuan, won all his matches. As for Long Xing...

"You unlucky kid, how come you always run into all sorts of opponents?"

Lin Xuan followed Long Xing, who had just finished his last match, out of the arena, a hint of helplessness on his face.

"What can I do? God knows I'd run into an opponent like this after losing my first match!"

Longxing was also quite helpless. He had just been directly defeated by a four-star Venusaur. His opponent was also from a prestigious university. Although it wasn't Beijing University or Shanghai University, its strength was still quite good.

However, it seems that he also had a mishap earlier, just like Song Chen, which is why he met Long Xing in the last match, and then... Long Xing was unlucky.

Everyone, human or ghost, is showing off, while Longxing is the only one getting beaten up.

"So the qualifiers are over after today, right? Finally, I can have some fun!"

Lin Xuan stretched. There were three days of rest between the qualifiers and the main tournament, which was to avoid some players' Pokémon getting injured and not having recovered.

Furthermore, during the competition, the players' accommodations were arranged by the league, which didn't cost any money. Lin Xuan only moved out because she wanted to be more comfortable, and Bai Yao and the others were basically the same.

"Of course, we need to train hard at times like this!"

Long Xing glanced at Lin Xuan. Why did this guy always say such unmotivated things at times like this?

"Last-minute cramming won't help; Arceus won't protect you!"

But Lin Xuan simply shook her finger and said quite casually.

"Dandan!"

【Let’s go out and play! 】

Xiaodian and Yibu supported Lin Xuan's suggestion, saying that training could be put aside, since there were only a few days left anyway, and it wasn't an exam. Did they really think there could be any improvement in such a short time?

"I remember that the Dawn Group had an exhibition in the capital this afternoon. Shall we go and take a look?"

Cheng Si, being from Imperial University, was naturally quite familiar with the place and quickly offered this suggestion.

"Dawn Group?"

Lin Xuan looked up, the name sounding somewhat familiar, and Cheng Si quickly added.

"Last year they developed the Electric Amplifier that can evolve Electivire, and recently they came up with the Lava Amplifier that can evolve Magmar. You didn't know that, did you?"

Cheng Si glanced at Lin Xuan with some surprise. After all, the Dawn Group had been enjoying unparalleled success recently, with only the recently announced Ye Yibu incident being comparable.

That's right, the situation regarding Eevee has finally been announced after so long, and the Entei Forest has also begun to open to the public in an orderly manner, allowing some Eevee trainers to evolve into Eevee every now and then.

However, this matter has nothing to do with Lin Xuan, because although he participated in Ye Yibu's project, the research institute actually contributed more, since he was at Jinhui Dojo during the research period.

Even so, Lin Xuan's name once again came into the public eye. After all, it was Lin Xuan who discovered Espeon and Umbreon last year, and now, not long after, he has successfully discovered Leafeon.

Many people suspected that Lin Xuan might have some kind of buff attribute, especially those in the League who knew about Mega Evolution.

"I do know that. That young master from the Dawn Group once fought against me. What was his name again?"

Lin Xuan thought for a moment, but it had been too long, and she couldn't remember the person's name for the time being.

"Crowley."

Long Xing reminded him from the side.

"Correct."

Lin Xuan nodded. That guy had even used a single Espeon, which was Lin Xuan's first time battling an Espeon. It was indeed quite strong, but he wondered how it was doing now.

"You still know that guy?"

"Hmm...Dawn Group and Yulong Family had some cooperation before, so we met once."

Long Xing said casually.

"So, shall we go check it out? I've heard there are quite a few interesting and unique things there!"

Cheng Si continued, saying that he was rather bored. He had been spending most of his time in the arena recently. There was nothing he could do about it; after all, he was the leader of Imperial University and had to be there most of the time. Now he finally had some free time.

"Let's go!"

Lin Xuan nodded directly. At the last exhibition, Lin Xuan found a lot of good things, the most important of which was the key stone. It has now been made into a bracelet and is placed in Lin Xuan's backpack. But it seems that it won't be long before it is truly revealed to the world.

Wait a minute! Speaking of the things at the exhibition, Lin Xuan suddenly remembered something else... What about that lump of mud?

After returning from Jinhui Dojo, Lin Xuan was so busy at first that he completely forgot about it and never thought of it again. He slapped his forehead in frustration.

"what happened?"

Seeing Lin Xuan's actions, Bai Yao asked him something strange.

"Hiss... I forgot some things, but they shouldn't be important. I'll talk about them when we get back to Jianghai City."

It seems that Gu Yuan was in charge of that thing back then, but after Lin Xuan left, Gu Yuan was sent out to work elsewhere. When he came back, there was a lot of work to do, and Gu Yuan himself forgot about it. But he probably didn't figure out anything too much, otherwise he wouldn't have left it there for so long.

"Let's go, let's go take a look first."

Almost everyone present had no objections and headed straight for the Dawn Group's exhibition. Of course, Cheng Si led the way, since Lin Xuan still needed a shady map to go out these days.

"So, is Claude still in the country?"

Lin Xuan asked Long Xing somewhat casually. He still had a good impression of that guy—after all, if it weren't for the ticket he gave him, Lin Xuan might not have been able to find that key stone.

“I don’t know about that.” Long Xing shook his head. “The Yulong family only has some cooperation with the Dawn Group. As for Crowley… recently, not only in China, but also in many other countries, tournaments seem to be being held simultaneously. I guess he doesn’t have time to come.”

While the two were talking, they arrived at the exhibition site of the Dawn Group. It was even larger and more impressive than the one in Suyun City. Moreover, there were many people coming and going at the entrance of the exhibition hall.

Is there anything special today?

Lin Xuan asked Cheng Si, "After all, if there was nothing, Liming Group wouldn't have gone to such lengths, would they? The cost of organizing this exhibition is not small."

"Yes, there is something special today, but I had only heard about it before."

Cheng Si nodded, and then led Lin Xuan and the others to the entrance of the exhibition. There was a poster there, and the content of the poster made Lin Xuan's pupils shrink involuntarily.

"A dream device? What is that?"

Bai Yao was the first to ask out of curiosity, as she had never heard of this word before and it must be new.

"It's said to be a device that allows everyone to enter a special world through dreams... Have you seen Sword Art Online? It's similar to that thing."

Bai Yao merely tilted her head at Cheng Si's description; she had never been interested in this kind of anime.

"You wouldn't understand even if I told you. Let's go in and see for ourselves."

Lin Xuan interrupted Bai Yao, who seemed to want to ask something more, and pushed her inside. There were even more people inside the exhibition than outside. In the very center was a huge booth with a chair-like structure on it. However, there were capsule-like devices on both sides that seemed to be able to close up.

"Is this the dream device?"

Lin Xuan looked at the items on the display stand and muttered to himself. He had only heard of this thing in games. It was an online system for the Black and White series, but it basically disappeared in later generations. Lin Xuan didn't expect that someone could recreate it in reality.

"The dream device seems to have been jointly developed by Dawn Group and a domestic research institute specializing in the field of dreams, but I don't remember which one it is. I'm not interested in this kind of thing."

As Cheng Si spoke, she glanced at Lin Xuan, clearly feeling that Lin Xuan would have more authority to speak on this matter.

"The Reimu Research Institute? I've heard of it before. It seems to specialize in this field, but it's not very well-known because it hasn't produced any significant results."

Lin Xuan said directly.

"I think that's what it's called."

"Let's not talk about that. So, does this thing even work? Can we give it a try?"

Bai Yao had already learned a little about what Sword Art Online was, and she was quite interested in this dream device. It sounded like a large game console, and it must be a lot of fun!

"If it were available, would it be your turn?"

Lin Xuan pointed to the huge crowd surrounding the booth and said to Bai Yao, "It's obvious that this is just for display and can't be used. If you go up there, you'll probably be asked to come down by security immediately."

"Mr. Lin Xuan!"

Just as Lin Xuan and the others were chatting, a voice suddenly came from the side, attracting Lin Xuan's attention.

“Mr. Lin Xuan, do you remember me? And this must be… Young Master Long Xing, right? The last time we met was at your Yu Long family.”

"You are... one of Claude's men."

Lin Xuan grinned and said, "It's not that I'm being impolite, it's just that I really can't remember the name!"

"Mald".

Marde didn't seem to mind that Lin Xuan didn't remember his name; he simply smiled and reminded her.

He seemed to know Long Xing as well, having visited the Yu Long family before.

"If you're here too, then Claude?"
