Urban Elf: The Elf and I have the Hex talent

Professor Gu smiled reluctantly and said hello.

Luo Qingcheng pointed to Lu Li beside him and introduced: "This is the apprentice I told you on the phone. If nothing goes wrong, he will continue to fund your project on behalf of our Luo family."

Hearing that Lu Li wanted to continue funding him instead of the Luo family, Professor Gu lamented in his heart and was also thankful that there was another successor to Qingqing's project.

"Hello, Professor Gu, my name is Lu Li."

Lu Li stretched out his hand and shook it in a friendly way.

Lu Li, who quickly got into the mood, asked, "Professor, do you still have sufficient research funds for this project?"

"5000 million per year is enough, and all expenses are just enough." Professor Gu, who was afraid that Lu Li would cut his own funds, quickly replied.

Lu Li nodded and said with a smile: "Then I'll trouble Professor Gu. Please give me your advice in the future."

"Ok!"

Professor Gu, who was obviously not good at communicating with others, nodded dullly: "You can ask me if you don't understand anything, but it's best when I'm resting. If you have any questions during work, you can ask my assistants. They are all very knowledgeable." Excellent researcher.”

Lu Li smiled and nodded. The purpose of his coming here was to mix his titles.

After completing the handover, Luo Qingcheng, who still had a lot to do in the gym, left first.

Lu Li stayed in the laboratory with Professor Gu for the whole day, but the progress was visible to the naked eye.

With the help of Professor Gu's assistants, Lu Li made rapid progress in genetics, rising directly from the infant level to the junior high school level.

After returning home in the evening, the elves placed at home by Lu Li also completed their training for the day.

After preparing a sumptuous dinner for the elves, Lu Li accompanied the elves to watch TV in the living room. Even if he was busy every day, Lu Li would never forget to cultivate a relationship with the elves.

In this world, the relationship between humans and elves is visible and tangible.

In Lu Li's view, the reason why Ash and Pikachu in the anime are able to fight each other again and again is not just because Pikachu is special. The most important thing is the special bond between Pikachu and Ash.

Therefore, Lu Li has always prioritized cultivating relationships with elves.

The next morning, after Lu Li, who was awakened by his biological clock, finished washing himself, he met Aunt Lan who had just come back from outside.

The resolute Aunt Lan said: "After six o'clock tonight, I will hold a large banquet in this gym, and you must be there."

Lu Li frowned.

He doesn't like this kind of useless social interaction. Wouldn't it be nice to have this time to learn more about genetics and train elves?

Even if you develop a relationship with the elves, it's better than holding such a boring party, right?

Aunt Lan, who had already figured out Lu Li's character, explained helplessly: "On the one hand, the purpose of this banquet is to expand your network, and on the other hand, it is a celebration, to celebrate you becoming the gym leader."

"The upper class celebrities in Liuli City will come to this banquet today. They all want to get to know you as the new gym leader. You, the protagonist, cannot be absent."

"And if there are any emergency operations in the future, you will have to cooperate with people from the police station or city hall. By then, you will not know anyone in the gym team. How embarrassing will it be?"

After being persuaded by Aunt Lan, Lu Li also found that this kind of thing seemed unavoidable.

So Lu Li nodded helplessly: "Okay, you can just arrange the banquet. I will definitely be there when the time comes."

After seeing the depression in Lu Li's heart, Xiaoxia comforted him: "Human beings are inherently social creatures, and there are some things that cannot be avoided."

"When I first became a gym leader, I also hated this kind of social banquet. When I later found out that I couldn't escape it, I simply chose to lie down."

Lu Li could feel that Xiaoxia wanted to comfort him, but unfortunately, Xiaoxia obviously overestimated her eloquence.

After Lu Li shrugged his shoulders, he comforted him: "It's good to see what the so-called upper class is like. Once or twice is okay, but I can't stand it every day."

Lu Li didn't like banquets.

The day passed in the blink of an eye, and night came quietly. Under Aunt Lan's command, the entire gym hall had already changed drastically.

Before six o'clock, people started to come to the gym.

The first person to visit was the mayor of Liuli City.

In the elf world, the mayor of a city is equivalent to the manager of a city, but he is just a manager.

After all, the elf world is a world where strength speaks for itself, and the main say and initiative are basically in the hands of the gym leader.

The mayor also wanted to win over Lu Li, the newly promoted gym leader.

The 16-year-old gym leader, if nothing unexpected happens, the other party will control this temple for at least several decades.

Don't think that if you are promoted to Heavenly King, this gym will belong to someone else. Although Heavenly King and Gym Leader cannot hold the concurrent posts, they can succeed each other.

Just like the Luo sisters, the super gym leader was Luo Shen at the beginning. Later, after Luo Shen was promoted to the king of heaven, he directly assigned the gym leader to Luo Qingcheng.

According to the laws of the Elf Alliance, the successor of the gym leader is determined by the gym leader himself. Of course, the premise of all this is that the gym leader has not made any mistakes.

The mayor shook Lu Li's hand politely and said with emotion: "Mr. Lu, you are younger than I thought. It's true that seeing is better than hearing a hundred times."

After hearing this, Lu Li also smiled and complimented: "Mr. Mayor is also more kind than I thought."

Lu Li, who was standing at the door to greet guests, had only one purpose, and that was to get familiar with the people in various positions in Liuli City as soon as possible.

As more and more people were seen, more and more celebrities gathered in the hall.

Just when Lu Li was about to go in, a familiar person ran over excitedly.

Xie Dachun deliberately complained: "Brother, you are so uninteresting. You became the gym leader and you didn't say anything to me about such an important matter."

"By the way, this is my father Xie Cheng."

Xie Dachun pointed at the fat middle-aged man behind him and introduced.

Xie Cheng also introduced himself: "I am Xie Cheng, the gym leader from Tianmen City next door."

"Hello, thank you, Master."

Lu Li didn't deliberately try to please or alienate him. His intuition told Lu Li that Xie Cheng's visit must have something else to do.

"Please go and sit inside." Lu Li invited.

After waiting for a short while to make sure that no one was around, Lu Li returned to the banquet in the hall and chatted with a group of senior officials.

There were nearly 200 people in the hall. Of course, these people came to the banquet not only to celebrate Lu Li becoming the gym leader, but also to take the opportunity to expand their contacts.

Just like those rich people, even if some people did not receive the invitation, they would lick their faces and prepare generous gifts to attend the banquet.

The purpose is to get to know more "big people" and make your business more convenient.

The first target of these rich people is often not the protagonist Lu Li, because they know that Lu Li and they are not the same people, and even if they kneel down and lick him, there will be no good results.

A banquet that entertained both the host and the guests did not end until twelve o'clock in the night. It was not until all the guests left that Lu Li saw the Xie family's father and son waiting in the corner.

Lu Li took the initiative and asked, "Uncle Xie, is there anything else you can do?"

Xie Cheng nodded with a wry smile, "It seems that Hall Master Lu has figured it out."

Xie Cheng explained: "I came uninvited this time. I actually have something important to ask for."

Xie Dachun couldn't help but plead: "Brother, you must help my father. We came to you because we really had no other choice."

Lu Li did not agree directly, but asked cautiously: "Did you encounter any trouble? You can tell me."

Xie Dachun said bitterly: "It's the Three Gods Sect. The Three Gods Sect is eyeing our family's secret realm."

Lu Li looked at Xie Cheng thoughtfully after hearing this.

Lu Li asked: "Is there nothing you can do about your family's background?"

Xie Cheng explained: "Our family's heritage is a Kirby beast at the peak of the king level, but the strength of the Three Gods Cult is too strong, and we are not sure that the family's heritage can successfully resist the Three Gods Cult."

Lu Li nodded thoughtfully. It seemed that not all families were as perverted as the Luo family.

Whether it is the Zheng family or the Xie family, their family background is only at the peak of the Heavenly King level, which may be out of reach in the eyes of ordinary people.

But for the alliance, the foundation of the Peak King is actually just that, and not everyone will give up the alliance and join the evil organization like the Zheng family.

Lu Li asked curiously: "Why does the 117 Three Gods Sect focus on your family's secret realm?"

Xie Cheng explained: "Because of the dragon eye fruit, there is a dragon eye fruit in our family's small secret realm."

Long eye fruit?

Lu Li was also a little surprised.

Dragon eye fruit is a top tree fruit, and its value and rarity are no less than that of snake grass.

The effect of the Dragon Eye Fruit in the game is that it is activated when the HP of the Pokémon carrying the Dragon Eye Fruit is lower than 1 to 4 of the maximum HP, and the defense is increased by one level.

But in reality, the function of the Dragon Eye Fruit is to increase the defense ability of the elves, and it is also the main material of the master-level potion defense growth potion.

Lu Li also didn't expect that the Xie family's secret realm actually hid such good things.

You must know that high-quality top-level fruit like this cannot be cultivated artificially. Having a dragon eye fruit tree is equivalent to having a money tree in the Xie family.

You must know that even if the dragon eye fruit is not made into a potion, the effect is extremely terrifying.

After figuring out the reason why the Three Gods Cult was targeting the Xie Jia family's secret realm, Lu Li asked cautiously, "Why don't you ask for help from the Alliance?"

Xie Cheng asked with a sad face: "You don't know the two conditions for the family to occupy the secret realm, right?"

There cannot be riots in the secret realm of elves, and the family must have the strength to protect the secret realm from being invaded by other dark organizations.

If Xie Cheng seeks help from the Elf Alliance, it means that the Xie family is no longer able to protect this secret realm, and the alliance will forcefully take back the secret realm.

After realizing this, Lu Li also understood why the other party asked him for help.

but……

Lu Li looked at Xie Dachun thoughtfully.

Although Xie Dachun was very familiar with him when he first met him, he immediately recognized him as his elder brother.

But Lu Li didn't intend to go into this muddy water just because of this sentence.

Xie Cheng, who saw what Lu Li was thinking, gritted his teeth and said, "If Master Lu can help our Xie family get through this trouble, we are willing to offer ten Dragon Eye Fruits as a thank you gift."

Ten dragon eye fruits?

Lu Li admitted that he was indeed a little moved.

The value of ten dragon eye fruits is about [-] million, and they are the kind that have a price but no market.

Normally, things like this that can directly enhance a certain strength of an elf are generally difficult to measure in terms of money.

Just like the secret elves and various rare materials circulating in the Kyushu Alliance market, most of these things actually come from the Black Continent or civilians.

The Black State is relatively backward and does not even have an Elf Alliance system. The Black State is very large but there are countless tribes and kingdoms there.
