Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

After training for a while, Lin Xuan also discovered a problem: the falling leaves were irregular, just like the lazy nature of the Slacker King, who never knew when they would fall.

It's not very convenient for training.

"Ibu, go up and grab some leaves and throw them down to the little one."

Lin Xuan spoke to Eevee in his arms, and Eevee responded by jumping down from Lin Xuan's arms and leaping onto a tree not far away.

Although Eevee isn't exactly a feline Pokémon and looks more like a little fox, its climbing ability is still innate. A brown figure flashed by, and Eevee was already on a tree branch not far away.

"No need for too many, just throw down ten pieces first!" Lin Xuan shouted to the top, then reminded Xiao Dian.

"You can only cut one slice at a time!"

If there were no requirements, this challenge would be easy. After all, even a small burst of energy from Xiaodian could shatter the leaf with the weakest lightning bolt.

"Buyi~"

Eevee started plucking a piece here and a claw there from a branch not far away, counting them on the little paw pads on its paws. There were exactly ten pieces, and then it threw them down towards the little one's head.

"acrobatics!"

The moment the leaf fell, Lin Xuan gave Xiaodian instructions, and Xiaodian quickly got into position, spread its wings, and flew towards that direction. Although Xiaodian's speed when performing acrobatics did not reach the level of a flash of lightning, it was still faster than normal.

Lin Xuan's position was still somewhat visible, but if one were a little further away, one would probably only see a flash of white light, which then flickered and moved back and forth repeatedly within a very short distance.

"Four pieces left."

Lin Xuan stood directly below Eevee, counting the small dots of leaves that had been successfully cut open. There were six leaves, and two of them seemed to have been cut open in the same attack, which could also be considered a failure.

"So only four pieces were successful," Lin Xuan announced the final result.

"Dandan~"

The little dot in mid-air let out a somewhat frustrated cry, after all, it hadn't even met half of the standard.

"This is just the first time, take it slow," Lin Xuan comforted her, and Eevee in the tree also spoke up.

"Bui!" (?o_o)

As a result, while cheering for the little one, its two front paws left the branch, and it almost lost its balance and fell off the tree, but fortunately it managed to control itself in time.

Even though it's only a short distance away and there's grass below, it's unlikely to cause any harm to Eevee even if it falls. After all, the physical abilities of humans and Pokémon are not comparable.

As noon approached, not only were the little dots using skills in the sky, but even Eevee, who had been throwing leaves from the tree, was getting tired.

After all, to prevent Eevee from plucking that one tree bare, Lin Xuan changed trees and plucked them in turn.

Xiaodian's final score was seven leaves, which was a great improvement compared to the beginning. However, it became more and more difficult. After all, if she was a little slow and the leaves drifted down, Lin Xuan would catch them and it would be considered a failure.

But these things can't be rushed. We can train again when we have time. Besides, there are other training methods besides this one. Lin Xuan just found one that suited the situation.

"Let's rest for a while, then I'll take you out for a big meal later!"

Lin Xuan found a bench nearby and sat down. Xiao Dian pounced on his head, but he grabbed the back of her neck.

"Don't rub yourself against me while you're all sweaty from training. Go back and take a shower first."

As soon as Lin Xuan finished speaking, Eevee, who was lying on the bench, also showed a disgusted expression towards Xiaodian, and even exaggeratedly waved its little paw in front of its nose.

Can Xiao Dian really tolerate this? If he can't bully Lin Xuan, can't he at least bully you, Yi Bu?

As the saying goes, "Pick on the weak, and bully the small."

After breaking free from Lin Xuan's grasp, Xiao Dian immediately abandoned his head and charged towards Eevee with its claws outstretched.

Seeing the little dot charging towards him in retaliation, Eevee jumped up and into the bushes like a cat with its fur standing on end, but even so, the little dot still chased after him relentlessly.

Lin Xuan's original intention was to let the two guys rest, but seeing how happy they were playing around, he didn't disturb them. After all, there weren't many places for them to mess around at home.

"Don't get too dirty!" Lin Xuan reminded her symbolically, while for some reason thinking about the future.

Right now, it's about the same size as Eevee, but once Eevee evolves, no matter what form it evolves into, it will become much larger. At that point, it might be hard to say who will bully whom...

Thinking of this, Lin Xuan gave Xiao Dian a merciless look, feeling that this guy's current behavior would be paid back tenfold in the future!

Eevee was chased around by the little dot in several bushes. Originally, given Eevee's speed, it was definitely no match for the little dot and should have been caught in no time.

However, because they were in the grass, which was not conducive to their flight, and because they were worried about flying too fast and hurting Eevee, they ended up in this tug-of-war.

Of course, it's also possible that Little Point is currently enjoying the thrill of chasing and bullying Eevee...

Sitting on the bench, Lin Xuan glanced at the time and realized that the video she had scheduled to post yesterday—about the battle usage of Blastoise—had already been released, so she thought she would check the comments.

After all, those guys always manage to create something interesting for themselves, and reading their comments is much more interesting than watching other videos.

The most popular comment undoubtedly belongs to Zhong Mingyi, who seems to still be protesting the fact that he was banned by Lin Xuan for sending a gift last night.

Zhong Mingyi is a handsome guy: [Unscrupulous streamer! Give me back my hard-earned money!]

There were quite a few people making trouble in the comments section, and Lin Xuan wrote them down one by one in a small notebook.

Scrolling down Zhong Mingyi's comments, I found that the guy ranked second seemed to be something special, with a blue badge above his head, and it seemed to be an official account?

When Lin Xuan looked closely—Shanghai University? A fake account?

The comments were nothing special, just some mutual flattery, saying the video was great, the child was very satisfied, and it could even help with sphincter muscles, etc., and also asking Lin Xuan to keep an eye on her private messages.

As for the comments below this post, they were mostly about Master Ball and guessing what the other party wanted to do with Lin Xuan.

It doesn't seem to be a high-quality counterfeit?

In reality, Lin Xuan herself was a little confused. What did the other party want with her?

Lin Xuan first checked the other party's profile to confirm that it was an official account, and then opened the private message. The other party did not send any nonsense messages such as "Are you there?", but went straight to the point.

【Hello Mr. Mimiqiu, we will be holding a university league soon. Do you have time to provide commentary for the match?】

Shanghai University's thinking was simple: after all, the college league they co-hosted with Beijing University was a pretty big competition, so how could it not have any commentators?

They had already found people to provide on-site commentary, but their goal was not limited to that. They also wanted to find some well-known and truly capable streamers to provide online commentary.

This would also be beneficial for the promotion of the competition. If possible, the organizers of the competition would like to continue this college league in the form of an annual event.

Lin Xuan is clearly a very good choice, because with the start of the tournament and Zhong Mingyi, a favorite to win, constantly browsing his live stream, it's impossible for his popularity not to be high.

Therefore, the officials from Shanghai University naturally took notice of him.

But while the other party's idea was good, Lin Xuan was in a dilemma. "I have to participate in the competition, and you want me to do the commentary too? What? Do you think I can create shadow clones?"

Moreover, being both a player and a commentator at the same time is a bit bizarre no matter how you look at it!

But the problem that's troubling Lin Xuan is... the money they're offering is probably more than the school's scholarship!

With this huge black hole of a small dot around, Lin Xuan happens to be a little short of money recently.

I can only commentate on half of the matches.

After hesitating for a while, Lin Xuan said that according to the league's schedule, the matches were held in the morning and at noon, but in order to give the players enough rest time, two matches would not be held on the same day.

It's much more humane than the freshman competition at Lin Xuan's school, so I give it a thumbs up.

This gave Lin Xuan an opportunity: if it was a morning match, he could postpone the broadcast until noon; if it was a midday match, he could postpone the broadcast until morning.

Lin Xuan directly explained his difficulties in a private message, but of course, he didn't state the reasons. He couldn't very well say he couldn't do commentary because he's still a player, could he? It remains to be seen whether the other party will accept this approach.

Are you busy?

Lin Xuan didn't know if the person on the other end just happened to be online or if they had been camping him all along, but he received a reply as soon as he sent out his message.

Lin Xuan: ...

Well... to be honest, I really don't have time. After all, I'm a contestant, and I can't just leave my little one at the competition and run home to do a live stream, can I?

Lin Xuan estimated that he would be disqualified from the competition on the first day.

[No time]

Lin Xuan originally thought that the other party would not accept his words, and thought that if there was really no other way, he would just accept it for now and try to postpone it with the school... But the result was somewhat beyond his expectations.

That works too. Would it be convenient to leave your contact information? Someone will contact you shortly.

Although there were some minor surprises that the other party was willing to accept these conditions, Lin Xuan still gave them her QQ number, adhering to the principle of "why not make money if it's free".

Meanwhile, Eevee was chased out of the bushes by Little Dot. With a leap, it seemed to want to burrow into Lin Xuan's arms, but Little Dot intercepted it in time.

"Dandan!"

[A powerful, downward leap!]

Before Ibrahimovic's plan could succeed, Xiaodian tackled him onto the bench, but before she could do anything, Lin Xuan picked her up again.

"You absolutely have to get a place in this competition and win some prizes, otherwise it'll be a huge loss! Do you hear me?!"

Lin Xuan considered the potential compensation from the opponent and the school's bonus. Missing a match meant missing out on money! If he participated in this competition and didn't win any prizes, even with the school's bonus, Lin Xuan would still be at a huge loss.

Small dot: ? ? ?

Why me again?

Chapter 78 A generous move

The next day at 2 PM, the battle club

There weren't many people in the battle club at the moment. Only two members were using the middle battle arena. Lin Xuan and Zhong Wenxing were sitting in the corner, while Xiao Dian and Yi Bu had gone off to play by themselves.

Seemingly influenced by this atmosphere, Zhong Wenxing also released his Jigglypuff from its Poké Ball so that it could play with Eevee and the others.
