Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

"No time~"

"But the management of the gaming club seems quite lax. It's basically a take-it-or-leave-it situation. When the people inside have nothing to do, they just play some games," Li Yuan recalled and said.

"How do you know everything?" Lin Xuan looked at him with some surprise. This guy's mouth is more versatile than Doraemon's; it feels like you can ask him about anything at school.

“There’s a gaming club in our hometown group, and it seems like many of the club’s activities can earn you academic credits,” Li Yuan explained.

"Hmm... let's see~" Lin Xuan said vaguely, mainly because he really didn't have much time.

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.

The teacher announced the end of get out of class the moment the bell rang. This was one of the things Lin Xuan liked most about university – the classes never went overtime, which was much better than the teachers in high school who would often go overtime by more than ten minutes.

The moment get out of class ended, Wu Rui quickly walked towards Lin Xuan's direction. There was no way around it; after all, their captain still held sway in the battle club, and even the teacher's words carried less weight than hers.

"Lin Xuan..." Wu Rui had just arrived at Lin Xuan's side and was about to speak. He had prepared a whole bunch of reasons during class, but if he still couldn't persuade Lin Xuan, then he had no choice but to go back and clean the toilets.

"I can join the battle club."

Wu Rui: ? ? ? ?

Lin Xuan's words instantly shut Wu Rui up, almost causing him to suffer internal injuries and spit out a mouthful of blood.

Can't you be a little more tactful? I've been sitting here in this calculus class preparing for ages, almost falling asleep. I was practically ready to make you a PowerPoint presentation on my phone. And you just agreed without letting me say a word?

"Your gaming club doesn't have many activities, does it?"

Lin Xuan asked tentatively.

Although Lin Xuan was feeling very uncomfortable, it was still a good thing that she had agreed.

"Not much. In the words of our president, it's either take it or leave it."

Lin Xuan nodded, relieved that nothing was wrong. He hadn't actually joined the battle club because he wanted to compete; rather, Li Yuan and the others had reminded him of something...

The gaming club seems to have plenty of funding?

They have priority access to Pokémon battle and training areas, except during class time. Most importantly... the battle club's activity room seems to be quite large.

Lin Xuan was always troubled by where to leave Little Dot while he was in class. If he left it at home, he was afraid Little Dot would blow something up again, and even when it was in its Poké Ball, the little guy couldn't stay still.

Once you join the battle club, you can just leave Xiaodian there and let him do whatever he wants during class, since the battle club definitely has battle arenas or something.

Lin Xuan then followed Wu Rui toward the direction of the battle club.

It's safe to say that the gaming club is the most expensive club in any school. Lin Xuan walked in and was greeted by a very professional gaming area. The only problem was…

"Why is no one here?" Lin Xuan looked at Wu Rui in a bit of confusion. He had been fantasizing about a large group of people welcoming him, the newcomer.

"Those guys are all out having an event today. They should be at the arena right now. After all, although the battle club has a battle arena, it's still too small." Wu Rui looked at Lin Xuan with a resentful expression.

"If the dice hadn't been rolled on me and dragged you into the club, I'd probably be there too~"

"Ahem, so what do we do now? Write an application?"

“The captain is in charge of those things, and she’s not here. Are you free tomorrow?” Wu Rui scratched his head and said to Lin Xuan. “The captain said she wants to meet you, the champion of the evolutionary type.”

"Okay." Lin Xuan nodded, and then the two arranged a time for him to report for duty the next day.

On the way home, I made a special trip to buy some of the tree fruits from the recipe Dr. Sun Siming gave me. I also bought the machine Lin Xuan. At JD.com's speed, it should be delivered tomorrow.

However, when Lin Xuan arrived at the supermarket to buy tree fruits, she was dumbfounded. Although most of the tree fruits were available, some of the rarer ones were not. Lin Xuan could only buy the tree fruits first and then send a message to Dr. Sun Siming.

Then Dr. Sun Siming gave Lin Xuan an address, saying that he could buy it by simply going there and mentioning his name.

Lin Xuan also went to the address. According to his original idea, the place that Dr. Sun Siming introduced would most likely be an old shop with a big signboard, an old man sitting inside, and even the door would be made of wood, preferably the kind that would creak when you opened it.

When Lin Xuan finally found it, she discovered that the store was located in the center of the commercial street, and the LED screen above it displayed the store's name—Tree Fruit Elimination Game.

Lin Xuan: It seems to be a little different from what I expected?

Chapter 52 features Gardevoir!

Fruit Elimination Game?

Lin Xuan seemed to have seen the brand name somewhere before, probably in an advertisement.

"This seems a little different from what I expected?"

Standing in front of the gate, Lin Xuan scratched her cheek and whispered to the little spot on her shoulder.

"Dandan?"

[You've just been reading too many novels, haven't you?]

Xiao Dian rolled her eyes at Lin Xuan, then turned around and took a tree fruit from the bag Lin Xuan was holding in his other hand, and happily started munching on it.

"Let's go and take a look first."

Lin Xuan pushed open the door and went inside. There were quite a few customers inside, but after briefly circling around the fruit trees, he still couldn't find the fruit he needed, so he had to find the receptionist.

"Hello, I would like to buy these tree fruits."

Lin Xuan handed over a small note with a list of items that hadn't been purchased at the supermarket before.

"Okay, let me see." The receptionist took the slip of paper. "Golden pineapple, flowering pineapple, candlewood pineapple..."

The receptionist was also a little surprised when she saw the names written on the slip of paper, because these fruits were all quite rare and very expensive.

"These tree fruits are in limited quantities, so you need to make a reservation in advance. Do you have a reservation?"

"Uh... Dr. Sun Siming sent me here."

Lin Xuan said somewhat awkwardly, and just then, another voice came from the side.

Are you an employee of Dr. Sun Siming's research institute?

Lin Xuan turned around and saw a middle-aged man, who was also wearing work clothes.

"I guess so?" Lin Xuan replied reluctantly, after all, he was also registered with the research institute.

"You could say that?" The man frowned. "Do you have any relevant proof?"

Lin Xuan took out the pass that Dr. Sun Siming had given him. It had been upgraded once after he joined the company. The original pass only allowed him to enter open areas for visitors, but the current pass allowed him to enter and exit freely except for a few places.

"Is this okay?"

"Ok!"

The man took it, examined it for a few moments, nodded, and then went to the back to take out a box and hand it to Lin Xuan.

Then, when it came time to pay the bill, Lin Xuan learned that all the fruit had been ordered in the name of the research institute, and Dr. Sun Siming had paid for it in advance.

Without a doubt, Lin Xuan knew that this was definitely Dr. Sun Siming's idea. After all, these tree fruits were quite expensive, and ordinary students really couldn't afford them, so he thought of paying for them for him first.

Lin Xuan was touched but also wanted to laugh, because he did have that much money. Although he was usually quite stingy, don't underestimate the income of a streamer with hundreds of thousands of fans.

He's just incredibly stingy!

I was thinking of going back and finding some time to explain to Dr. Sun Siming, and then returning the money to him.

Back home, having just taken two detours to buy tree fruit, it was already 6:30. I quickly packed my things and got ready to start the live stream.

When the time came, Lin Xuan didn't even click to start the live stream before a large number of "refugees" flooded into the live stream room.

[It's airing now!]

[How can you take a break at your age? Let's go live!]

[The demolition team is ready!]

[Open the door!]

"Ahem!" Lin Xuan cleared her throat twice. "What's the rush? Hasn't it already started? Today is still the competition to narrow down from 128 to 64. After all, we couldn't finish the competition in one day yesterday."

So, is there no contestant named Xiao Zhong today?

[Waaaaah, Xiao Zhong, how can I live without you, Xiao Zhong~]

[No Xiao Zhong, no Xiao Dian, I'm unfollowing!]

"Please stop going crazy here, everyone. Xiao Zhong's time is over, but Xiao Dian can still come... Xiao Dian!" Just as Lin Xuan was about to call Xiao Dian in to show him to everyone, another SC message came through.

"Thanks to the SC for Zhong Mingyi being such a handsome guy—【I'm here!】"

Just as Lin Xuan was reading this SC, Xiao Dian walked in carrying a tree fruit.

"Dandan?"

What now?

Little Dot was gnawing on a tree fruit with its left paw, floating in the air and tilting its head to ask Lin Xuan a question. Lin Xuan's eyes suddenly lit up, and she grabbed Little Dot from the side and hugged it in her arms.

"Dandan?!" Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

"Sigh, to be honest, my family has recently fallen on hard times and we're struggling to make ends meet. This has dragged Xiaodian down with me. Lately, we've been eating nothing but rice bowls. I wonder if any kind champion would be willing to give a little something to our little live stream so Xiaodian can have something to eat. It's not expensive, just a mere 20,000 RMB."

Small dot: ? ? ?

Didn't you force me to eat rice bowls?

【? ? ? 】

Beware of telecom fraud!

[Don't fall for it, Xiao Zhong!]
