At the end of the dinner, Director Cao said, "In two months you will be a sophomore. Time flies so fast. Before you know it, a year has already passed."
"In the summer season, we at Xiamen University only made it to the semi-finals, not even into the top three."
“The gap compared to the Spring Season champion is a bit big.”
"It looks like the summer season still depends on you."
"Although I know it's unlikely to win the championship, I still hope you can create a miracle again."
Jiang Jing smiled and said, "It becomes increasingly difficult to create miracles every time."
“Now that I’m a sophomore, my opponents are no longer my peers.”
"Those juniors and seniors have practiced more than me. Over one to two years, the opponents have become stronger and stronger."
"What's more, people in the same grade will come up with new elves. Hey, this is really difficult."
"But for us, this kind of challenge is just right."
"Otherwise, I wouldn't be happy if this championship was so easy to win."
Director Cao looked at Jiang Jing and said, "So confident? It seems that your strength has improved a lot recently!"
Jiang Jing smiled confidently and said, "Of course. I'm going to go to the wild for special training this summer. I think my strength will be improved when I come back."
“For others it will be a surprise.”
Director Cao smiled and said, "Hearing you say that, I'm looking forward to it."
"Haha, come on, cheers!"
The two raised their drinks and clinked them, then drank them all in one gulp.
……
The next day, Jiang Jing packed up and left. He took the train back to Rongcheng, planning to stay at home for a few more days before leaving.
"Mom, I'm back!"
Jiang Jing opened the door of his house and said.
Then I saw Pikachu, Jigglypuff, and Bubble Squirrel rushing over.
At this time, Jiang's mother was already busy in the kitchen.
There were already several dishes on the table, including shredded pork with green pepper, twice-cooked pork with green pepper, corn and pork ribs soup, potato chips, fried chicken with peppers...
It exuded an enticing aroma, and Jiang Jing became hungry instantly after smelling it.
"I'm glad you're back. I cooked your favorite dish for you. Hurry and wash your hands and get ready to eat."
After Jiang Jing prepared lunch for the elves, he started to eat at the table.
While eating, Jiang's mother suddenly said, "If you have nothing to do this afternoon, come with me to the elf adoption center."
Jiang Jing nodded and said, "Okay, no problem. I haven't been there yet, so this is a good opportunity to go and take a look."
After dinner, it’s time for a nap.
In the afternoon, Jiang Jing and Jiang Ma went out together, along with Pikachu, Jigglypuff, and Bubble Sweeper.
One kilometer away from Taiyu Community, there is a little-known elf adoption home.
The so-called elf adoption center is a place to adopt wandering elves in the city.
Most of them are abandoned elves, and the reasons for their abandonment are various.
Since Jiang Ma knew this place, she has visited it often.
For example, now she went to the elf store and bought some elf food and snacks that the elves could eat.
After a while they arrived at their destination.
There was only a slightly old plaque with the words: Happy Elf Adoption Home.
The entire adoption center covers a very large area.
However, your equipment and decoration seem to be quite old.
When they came in, they could hear various elves' voices coming from inside.
Continue walking inside and you can see several offices.
Walking further inside, you can see a rockery area the size of three basketball courts and a thousand small lakes.
There are many elves playing and playing in it.
Rattata, Snakebear, Butterfree, Walking Grass, Mosquito Repellent...
He opened his Data Eye and scanned it.
[Elf]: Walking Grass
[Attribute]: grass, poison
【Talent】: Not good enough
[Level]: lv11
……
I watched several of them in a row and they all had mediocre talents.
The levels are all around level 10, not too high.
Judging from visual observation, there are about fifty or sixty elves, and some elves have not appeared yet. Judging from this, there are probably hundreds of elves in the entire adoption center.
You can also see several elderly people playing with the elves.
One of the pretty girls in sportswear saw Jiang's mother and greeted her, "Aunt Jiang, you're here again."
Jiang Ma smiled and said, "Xiao Lin is busy!"
Xiao Lin wiped the sweat off his forehead and smiled, "Yes, we have to do some cleaning today."
"Let me introduce you, this is my son Jiang Jing." Jiang's mother said, pointing at Jiang Jing.
Jiang Jing was the first to greet: "Hello!"
Xiao Lin looked at Jiang Jing for the first time and hadn't come back to his senses yet.
When he thought of Jiang Jing, he suddenly showed a surprised expression and said, "Jiang Jing!"
"I'm your fan, can you give me an autograph?"
Jiang Jing smiled and said, "Of course there is no problem with that."
Then he quickly signed his name on her book.
After the initial excitement, Kobayashi slowly recovered.
Jiang Jing took a quick look around and found that the equipment in the entire adoption center was quite ordinary and old.
Moreover, there are quite few staff members, with only eight of them being responsible for the eating, drinking, defecating, urinating and sleeping of hundreds of elves.
Jiang Jing asked his doubts: "You have only eight staff members in the past few years?"
Xiao Lin explained: "Yes, there are only eight of us, and it's very hard every day."
"The director doesn't want to recruit any more employees because he can't pay their salaries."
"The director sometimes works with us."
As they spoke, the three of them walked onto the lawn of the rockery. A group of elves rushed over when they saw Jiang Ma.
Mother Jiang took out bags of elf food from her bag and began to unpack them and pour them on the ground to feed them.
The elves all started eating happily, relishing the food.
Xiao Lin sighed beside him: "Every time Aunt Jiang comes over, it's a rare good day for these little guys, and they can eat something good."
Probably seeing Jiang Jing's puzzled look, she continued, "We are short of funds here right now, and the elves usually eat the food we make here."
"It's definitely not as delicious as regular elven food."
Jiang Jing asked curiously, "How do you usually make a profit?"
Xiaolin shook his head and replied, "There is no way for our adoption center to make a profit."
"We usually accept wild Pokémon sent from nearby, use our money to treat them, and live with them after we rescue them."
"If anyone wants to adopt it, it's free, no money required."
"We are able to survive only with donations from kind people nearby and the director's part-time job."
"Xiao Lin!"
A voice came from a distance, and Jiang Jing saw a middle-aged woman in her forties or fifties walking towards him.
This middle-aged woman is thin and her face shows the traces of time and hard work.
Xiao Lin shouted, "Director!"
It turns out that she is the director of the orphanage.
When the director came over, Xiao Lin explained, "Director, this is Aunt Jiang's son, Jiang Jing."
The director obviously didn't know Jiang Jing, so he said kindly, "Hello."
"Your mother is really a good person!"
Jiang Jing walked over and touched the head of a ladybug and asked curiously, "Director, how much do you need to sell per month?"
The director was stunned for a moment and then replied: "Our monthly expenses are for water and electricity, food, equipment maintenance, elves' medical treatment and employees' expenses."
"At least 80,000 yuan."
"It's mainly because the elves' food expenses account for the bulk of the money."
Then he expressed his gratitude: "Last year, our orphanage could no longer survive, and it was your mother who gave us tens of thousands of yuan every month to keep us afloat."
"So we are all very grateful to your mother."
Jiang Jing nodded secretly. Eighty thousand yuan a month can support nearly a hundred elves and several staff members.
And a few days ago, I spent more than one million on a skill seed alone.
This is enough to sustain the orphanage for a year.
He could imagine how poorly the elves here ate.
The world seems so absurd.
This made him feel a little uncomfortable, he knew there must be such a place in the world.
There are even elves whose lives are even more unhappy.
But it still feels a bit sad when I actually see it. It’s not pleasant to see them eating so poorly.
At this time, a staff member ran to the director anxiously holding a Lada and said
"Captain, this Lada seems to have a fever, and its head is very hot."
Jiang Jing saw that little Rada's face was flushed, his brows were frowned, and he closed his eyes, looking weak.
The director said hurriedly: "Then send it to the Elf Center immediately."
"Okay." After hearing this, the staff member immediately carried little Rada out.
The director told Jiang Jing, "The most frightening thing in the orphanage is getting sick. Going to the Elf Center will require money for treatment."
"If it's just a skin injury or physical injury, it's cheaper. But for a cold like this, it costs a lot of money, one or two hundred each time."
Jiang Jing felt even worse when he saw this.
While Jiang Jing was petting the Pokémon, he secretly overheard the conversation between two staff members and discovered that more than a dozen Pokémon had come in at once yesterday.
Some elves have bad tempers when they come in, and if you are not careful, they will cause damage, which will result in another loss of money.
Jiang Jing came to Jiang's mother and asked curiously, "Mom, I heard that you donate tens of thousands of dollars to them every month."
“Why don’t you donate more?”
Jiang Ma sighed and said, "I want to, but our money didn't come from the wind, and it wasn't earned by me. I can only transfer tens of thousands of yuan to them."
Jiang Jing said, "No, Mom, I transfer 500,000 yuan to you every month. This is your own money, why should you be embarrassed to use it?"
"Your son now earns tens of millions per month on average."
