Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

"Lin Xuan".

"Lin Xuan? I'll remember you."

After class, many students respectfully left in front of Dr. Sun Siming, who nodded in response to their greetings as he packed up his things.

"Lin Xuan, this is our research institute's pass. If you're interested, you can go in and have a look. It's free with this pass."

Dr. Sun Siming walked up to Lin Xuan with a smile, then took out a small card from his bag and handed it to Lin Xuan.

Dr. Sun Siming's research institute has a section that is open to the public, and anyone can go in to visit. The only downside may be that the ticket price is relatively expensive, but many people are still willing to visit.

"Thank you."

Without saying a word, Lin Xuan took the card. Putting everything else aside, he had to accept it just because it was free; why not take it if it's free?

Because of Dr. Sun Siming's actions, many others who were planning to leave stopped and gathered around to watch.

What is this? Is Dr. Sun Siming extending an olive branch? This guy is only a freshman, right?

Dr. Sun Siming's reason for doing so was simple: he simply felt that this student was very much to his liking and had a considerable understanding of Eevee's evolutionary knowledge.

Moreover, Lin Xuan's words just now gave him inspiration. Perhaps he could really try this approach. Although there had never been a precedent, if it succeeded, it would be a groundbreaking feat.

Even if the final result is not like this, Sun Siming felt that it was rare for Lin Xuan to come up with such an innovative idea, and he really wanted to talk to him to see if he had any other ideas.

However, he was busy going back to conduct experiments to see if his idea would work.

However, before leaving, Dr. Sun Siming left Lin Xuan's contact information.

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 next class was English, but neither of them seemed inclined to attend.

After attending the previous classes, they realized that the teacher never called names, and with so many students in the classroom, it was impossible to notice if a few were missing, so they simply stopped going.

"Damn, Lin Xuan... no, Brother Lin, when did you become so awesome? From now on, I'll rely on you to protect me!"

Li Yuan opened his arms to hug Lin Xuan, but Lin Xuan dodged him. At the same time, the electric flying squirrel on his shoulder looked at him warily. Was this guy plotting something against its master?

"roll!"

Lin Xuan almost kicked him aside.

"Freshman Activity Competition! Don't miss it! Freshman Activity Competition..."

A large, brightly colored bird flew over their heads, making an advertisement in a somewhat sharp tone, and carrying a stack of small advertisements in its claws.

As soon as the chattering bird saw the two people, it flew over and shoved two small advertisements into their hands, regardless of whether they wanted them or not, and flew away after putting them down.

"Does this bird also have performance requirements? It's very skilled at its movements!" Lin Xuan's lips twitched as she looked at Li Yuan.

"Maybe, I think it was hired by the school. Hey, I heard there's going to be a freshman competition soon, aren't you going to participate? You do have an electric flying squirrel, why don't you join in?"

Li Yuan looked at the contents of the small advertisement and pointed to the electric flying squirrel that was perched on Lin Xuan's shoulder, looking like it was giving up.

"You can't just let him eat and sleep all the time, can you? He needs to get some exercise, I think. If he gets good grades, he can get credits."

"dawn!"

Who are you talking about! (*￣︿￣)

The electric flying squirrel was displeased as soon as Li Yuan said that.

"That makes sense. By the way, haven't you gotten fatter since I found you? You seem to get heavier every day I've been carrying you around lately?"

Lin Xuan picked up the electric flying mouse and weighed it in her hand; it seemed to have become considerably heavier.

"Dan...Dan Dan!"

This...this is appropriate nutritional supplementation!

The electric flying squirrel flapped its wings twice and broke free from Lin Xuan's grasp.

So you want to participate?

"Don't go."

"So you're telling me this makes sense?"

"What I meant by 'it makes sense' was the second half of the sentence; this guy has indeed gained weight."

Li Yuan: ...

"And you don't really think we're the only ones who can compete with those guys from the combat department, do you? No way, no way?"

Although their school's combat department is relatively average, they still have their own specializations, and beating Lin Xuan and his group shouldn't be a problem.

"You won't lose anything by participating, and what if you win? You have no ambition at all. Look at the electric flying squirrel; it must really want to participate, right?"

"dawn!"

【Damn it, no way! I'd rather die than participate!】

Xiao Dian shook his head vigorously; he would absolutely not participate in any battles.

Lin Xuan glanced at Xiao Dian and understood what had happened. It seemed that Xiao Dian had fallen onto his balcony because she was attacked by a flock of Fiery Sparrows. Not only was she seriously injured, but she also seemed to have developed a negative attitude towards battle.

If Electric Flying Squirrel were willing, it wouldn't be a problem for him to participate, but under these circumstances, it's clearly inappropriate.

"Forget it then~"

Seeing what Lin Xuan and the electric flying mouse said, Li Yuan didn't insist on anything, but he still continued to look at the small advertisement.

"It seems there are other small events and competitions listed here, and there are prizes for winning! Like a race while carrying a Snorlax, a berry-eating contest..."

"dawn!"

【I'm in!】

Upon hearing the words "tree fruit," Xiao Dian's eyes lit up instantly, and his attitude changed completely from before.

This competition seems to be about whoever eats the most Fairy Tree Fruit wins.

"There's such a competition? If they send in a Snorlax, wouldn't it bankrupt the school?"

After seeing the competition details, Lin Xuan could only say that the school was incredibly audacious. This might not be the first, but it would be the last. After the competition, the school would go bankrupt.

Given Snorlax's appetite, the two people and one Pokémon present might not be able to finish eating even after three days and three nights.

"Don't rush, there's a parenthesis after this, see for yourself."

Lin Xuan held up the small advertisement and found that it indeed said "Snorlax and Snorlax are prohibited from participating" after the competition, so it seemed that they had made some preparations.

"Do you want to participate?" Lin Xuan asked, looking at the electric flying squirrel.

"Dandan!"

【We will defend our master's glory to the death and win the championship!】(? q `”)

Hiss~

Lin Xuan: ...

If you could wipe the drool from the corner of your mouth, I might believe you.

Where do I register?

"Just scan the QR code above to go to the official website and register."

"You won't participate?"

"Why would I join? I don't even have a Pokémon!"

They had just reached a fork in the road, and Li Yuan left, cursing under his breath.

"Go back and do it again."

Lin Xuan folded the small advertisement into a small ball and stuffed it into her pocket, planning to deal with it later.

Chapter 6 Deal

Fortunately, Lin Xuan's school didn't have any evening self-study requirements, which allowed Lin Xuan to conduct her live stream at normal times.

However, before going live, Lin Xuan still opened Bilibili to take a look.

"It's broken one million?"

Lin Xuan was referring to the video she posted a few days ago, which had already garnered over a million views. Although she had anticipated this, she hadn't expected it to happen so quickly.

As for the video uploaded last night, the response seems to be quite good, mainly because those jinxes were so accurate, and it seems that Song Chen himself reposted the video, which can be considered as giving Lin Xuan a little boost in popularity.

It's a pity that Song Chen himself isn't very popular. If it were a contestant like Zhong Mingyi, Lin Xuan feels that her fan base would definitely skyrocket.

But those kinds of things are best left unsaid. One should be more practical. For example, that old man seemed to like me today. Maybe I could work at his research institute sometime? That would be much more comfortable than being a trainer.

After closing the Bilibili backend, Lin Xuan took out the crumpled advertisement and scanned it with her phone.

"Name...student ID...password, and a picture of the sprite?"

Lin Xuan flipped through her photo album and found that there wasn't a single proper photo of the electric flying squirrel. There were photos of it being secretly taken while it was taking a bath, photos of it drooling while it was sleeping, and photos of it getting berries in its eyes while eating tree fruits. There wasn't a single one that could be used as an ID photo.

"Little one, come over here for a photo!"

Xiao Dian was originally lying on the bed fiddling with the remote control, looking for a suitable program on TV, but after hearing Lin Xuan's words, she immediately jumped up and struck what she thought was a cool pose on the bed.

"Dan~"
