This elf world is a bit strange

After hearing Filio's request, Woolley patted his chest and agreed, then hung up the phone.

Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Filio felt relieved after finishing a small matter and opened his computer after a long time.

He hadn't been online or checking social media platforms much in the past few days, but he only learned about the heated discussion surrounding the paper from senior Wu Li, and he immediately became interested.

When I opened the webpage, I saw that there was indeed constant discussion, and it even became Carlos's hot search term.

The mouse was clicked lightly, and the scroll wheel turned slowly. Firio and Little Dream Demon stood on the left and right, watching the comments of netizens with great interest.

Thousands of comments connect to form a waterfall of information, with numerous new messages appearing on the platform every minute and every second.

Through the shining computer screen, Firion felt firsthand the literal meaning of "one stone stirs up a thousand ripples."

Different from the mixed reputation of the association, although only a few basic basic energy cube production methods have been announced, they occupy an overwhelming majority on the Internet. Ordinary trainers who have been trapped by the high price of energy cubes for a long time It still provided a huge solidarity, completely covering up all voices of opposition.

The netizen who currently ranks first in the hot comments is a true beginner. He has not yet fully understood the basic theories, let alone learned any special techniques.

But as he said, even an operator like him with only a limited understanding of the technology, operating according to the data and reaction nodes provided by Philio, despite frequent mistakes, he was able to produce finished products several times in a row.

Although it is only a defective product that barely works, and the photos look a little horrible, it is enough to inspire people.

This is true even for beginners. If you have a certain foundation as a breeder, even if you are not yet a formal breeder, you can be confident that you will achieve certain results after repeated practice.

This is indeed the case. Scrolling down along the popular comments, you will soon see realistic energy blocks. Between the lines, there is the maker's heartfelt sense of accomplishment.

For ordinary trainers and junior breeders like them who do not have a rich family background and do not have much talent as breeders, the research results and operating methods published by Firion are truly priceless treasures compared to the seemingly unfathomable innovations in publications.

Just a few operating procedures opened the door to a new world for every trainer who learned about this.

The method of making energy cubes is not unpredictable, nor is it the private property of a few famous families. It really has the potential to be popularized.

Even if it is just the basic version, it is already invaluable to them, not to mention that having the most basic version means there are infinite possibilities in the future.

Excitement and joy are transmitted among the silent majority and spread exponentially as they speak out.

Not only for poor trainers who lack basic production capabilities and purchasing power, but even for many novice and even a few intermediate breeders who are not good at making energy blocks, such standardized production methods can become a template for practice. Over time, it may even create new income channels.

From the most important consumer perspective, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the popularization of such skills will fundamentally change the supply and demand relationship of the basic version of energy blocks.

Energy Cubes have always been expensive consumables that trainers need to use with caution when breeding Pokémon, and there have always been very few people who can easily spend tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of Alliance Coins every month.

But the cost of energy cubes is not as high as their selling price, especially the entry-level basic ones.

The production method provided by Filio can significantly increase production capacity, completely eliminate production barriers, change the status quo of the seller's market, force the market to respond, and thus increase the overall supply.

For the carlos breeder industry, which has been neither popular nor popular for a long time, and can even be said to be stagnant, this is tantamount to a thunderclap.

The famous families who have firmly established a monopoly position will naturally not be useless. A glimpse of the whole picture can reveal a future that makes them feel dangerous after being away from competition for many years in Firio's paper.

In the long run, all reactions from the bottom level will inevitably be transmitted to the top level, to those seemingly unattainable formulas. It’s just a matter of time and natural selection.

But all this has become unstoppable with the initiation and spread of the publication.

The popularization of technology will bring about changes in productivity, which will be reflected in every trainer by reducing the price of energy blocks and increasing sales, and then in the holders of the formula. For enterprising breeders, this will be an opportunity and a future; otherwise, it will be a death knell.

But no matter what it is for breeders, this is good news for trainers. Although it is only a small and unnoticeable change now, in the long run, from the primary energy blocks to higher levels, after years of accumulation, it can even significantly improve the general level of regional trainers.

It was for this reason that Nils, who represented the commoner breeders within the Breeders Association, pushed forward with all his might, and the president, Master Atli, also secretly supported it, pushing forward the publication in a time window before anyone had time to react.

Now, the outgoing chairman Ravi has also expressed his support and praise in a public interview, setting the tone in one fell swoop.

As Filio said, Woolley's worries were unnecessary. The tide of the times is rolling forward, and even if there are controversies, they will not cause too much waves and will soon disappear.

After all, it was also a key part of the outcome of his conversation with Ravi in ​​the hospital room.

The old man who is about to retire has infinite ambition, as well as the courage and determination that he has always reserved throughout his entire career.

The Carlos continent, which had been calm for nearly a hundred years, began to ripple. The ripples gradually spread like a tiny butterfly flapping its wings.

But this butterfly can only flap its wings like this.

As Filho had said in Niels' office, there were limits to his innovation.

Not only does Filio take into account the impact within the association, it can even be said that Filio doesn't care.

The real reason is that more content should not and cannot be accomplished by him all at once, but should come from the real subjects who create history, the vast number of participants, who will be the howling wind.

......

......

Unlike the far-reaching plans of his predecessors, what Firio really cares about is what is happening right now, rather than things that will only have a slight impact after a long time.

For example, the omnipotent netizens’ comments on themselves.

In fact, since yesterday when the paper was really widely circulated, there have been quite a few comments on Firion, the trainer who has become famous in the past year, extending from the content of the paper to the author.

From becoming the champion of the conference to becoming the youngest advanced breeder in Carlos in decades, his two-pronged growth process has made countless people envious.

Even in the field of breeding, his achievements are even more amazing.

If you add in the handsome and elegant face, it has attracted countless admirers and jealous people, and Philio can't help but feel a little complacent, oh no, it's spurned.

It is not a good idea to judge people by their appearance.

Thinking of this, Firion suppressed the upward curve of his lips and slid the mouse wheel downwards calmly. His pretending to be reserved made the little dream demon half disgusted and half delighted.

After hesitating for a while, the joy of being proud finally prevailed. With a leap, the little inky ball pounced on Felio's face, twisting and turning.

He was forced to lift his hands from the table and engage in a "fight" with the clingy little dream demon, leaving only the web page in front of him flashing messages one after another as it automatically refreshed.

Even in the corner, where no one could see, someone brought out the nickname that had been given to Filio during last year's youth championship and had not been used for a long time.

robot.

As precise as a machine, as precise as a machine, and as rational as a machine.

Without any warning, after months of silence, he finally made a breakthrough and brought big news to the whole Carlos, and perhaps the whole world in the future, as a breeder.

-----------------

It took a lot of effort and sweat to take off the little dream demon that was trying to act coquettishly on his face, and then put it back on his head. Firion looked at the comments on the computer with a smile on his face, feeling very proud.

"Hey!"

"Alas!--"

Suddenly, there was a loud shout, which startled him so much that he almost fell off his chair with a scream.

"Machi!!!"

The dream demon was also startled, but it was not scared by the sudden appearance of the "attacker", but by Firio's ghostly howling.

The hair all over its body instantly stood up, and its pretty little face swelled up like a small balloon. It pounced forward and gave Firio a full set of "weeding service" on his hair.

At this time, Korni, who had just taken a shower and changed into a set of clean clothes that had been stored in Filio's house, walked forward triumphantly and looked at the computer with a smile.

"What are you looking at? You're so focused that you didn't even notice I was here? Let me see too~"

As she spoke, she bent down to look at the screen, her hair drooping, falling in front of Philio's eyes, exuding a pleasant fragrance.

Then she discovered the new world.

"Okay! How come I didn't realize before that you are such a narcissist! You actually searched the Internet for words to praise yourself! And you were so focused on reading them!"

Filio grinned and pointed casually: "No, you have to read the whole article. This is the discussion section of my paper."

"Eh? Thesis?" Korni fell into deep thought, picked up the mouse and searched up and down, "Hmm... Let me see, my god, is it so popular?"

"Of course you do. Don't you even look at who wrote it?" Firio said proudly.

"You're here again, ugh... I can't stand it!" His arrogant look made Miss Korni very dissatisfied, and then turned to confusion, "But why didn't anyone mention it when we were running this morning?"

The magical question left Filio speechless for a moment. After a long silence, he showed a caring look and patted Korni's shoulder: "Little Cucumber... I'm not wrong to say you're stupid. How many people did we meet during our morning run?"

"Eh...? Oh hey, it seems to be true~ But you can't blame me! I don't understand those things of your breeders."

With a flick of the hair and a thrust of the chest, he went from muddling through to being confident and righteous, all in one go.

Seeing that Firio was a little tired, the dream demon's eyes also had a little more disgust. The spoiled and naughty Korni felt a little embarrassed, so she lightly clicked the red cross in the upper right corner, sat directly on Firio's lap, and changed the subject:

"Let's get down to business~ Let me tell you, Violet just got a call and said that the battle city fortress wants you to come over in the next two days."

"?"

With the beautiful girl in his arms, Firion no longer had the idea of ​​arguing with the silly Miss Cucumber. But when he heard the new term that had nothing to do with him, he was a little stunned for a moment.

"Stupid! You say I'm stupid, but I think you're the real stupid one!" With a twist of her little butt, Korni turned around and pressed her soft fingertips on Firion's forehead, scolding, "Have you become stupid by staying at home? The champion of the tournament will go to the Fortress to be awarded the title! The opponent for the exhibition match has also been chosen, and it's her."

"Hmm... is this true?" Felio pretended to frown, but in fact he was carefully observing Corny's beautiful eyes and eyebrows after she came out of the bath, pretending to be doubtful.

Korni was unaware of this and was dancing with joy, chattering, "Of course! Originally, your opponent was supposed to be Chaklo, but unfortunately that guy fought too hard some time ago and has become a duke, so he captured Violet's man. Well done to me! Anyway, as long as you don't lose to her, you can become a marquis, and if you lose, you will become an earl. It seems that all the previous champions were earls."

She swung her hands violently and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Firio was quick to grab her slender waist and avoided a beating.

With a little effort, the two of them were almost stuck together and could feel each other's breathing.

The intimate gesture made Korni's cheeks slightly red. She stood up a little awkwardly, cleared her throat, and pretended to be calm:

"Ahem, anyway, I have to go to the reserve for a meeting in the next few days, so I won't go with you. Remember to beat her up, don't worry about that guy Chaklo~"

At the end of the words, a mischievous smile reappeared. Miss Korni, whose shyness came and went quickly, was especially quick in this regard.

Commonly known as the melon-eating expert, or the civet cat.

"I think I understand. It's just an exhibition match. We can show our respect to each other and then use a useless match against the Marquis... I really don't want to move. I have to go to Miare in a few days. It's so difficult for me, ah..."

With a long sigh and an exaggerated expression, Firio pretended to get up and ask Korni for a comforting hug, but was ruthlessly pushed away.

"I just took a shower and I smell great. You're all sweaty. I don't want to cuddle with you~"

Miss Korni turned her head away in disdain and became arrogant again, but she only lasted for a second before it was completely ruined.

Pushing Firio's back hard, she pushed him and the little dream demon who was watching the fun into the bathroom. Korni, who was calculating, said repeatedly, "Hurry up and take a shower. After that, we'll go find Aunt Judith. I want to eat some cake! Then we'll go to my house for the battle this afternoon. I've made all the preparations today. I must beat you... No, no, I must prepare for you to fight Violet! See how considerate I am~!"

Korni's smiling face was filled with the joy of "Praise me now", without any embarrassment of completely exposing her true intention of taking revenge, just like a lazy and proud Persian cat.

By the way, arrange Firio's itinerary for today clearly.

Chapter 256: First experience of fighting against the fortress

In the afternoon of June 6, the sky was high and the clouds were light.

The intercity train "Battle of the Fortress" stopped steadily on the platform, and tourists got off one after another.

"The lunch on the train does taste a bit ordinary. You guys don't mind it, but it's really bad for my stomach. It's really miserable..."

"Machi~!"

"That's not right. You didn't eat anything in the car either. What are you agreeing with?"

"Machi (￣～￣)"

"My goodness, when did you get these snacks?"

"Buyi~"

"Did you get the Sun Eevee? Just pet it! No wonder I couldn't find you before I got off the bus just now."

"Qido!"

"Hmm? Big Mouth Baby, you're still not full? Then let me think, how about making you a soufflé cake tonight? It's delicious and won't make you fat. Everyone who has eaten it says it's good."

"Qi~Duo~!"

With a Nightmare on his head and holding Sol Eevee and Kog'Maw in his hands, Firion acted like a macho man, talking and laughing, and walked among the crowd with a lot of turning heads, attracting countless glances.

After leaving the station, Yikong, the steward of the Battle Fortress, had been waiting in his car for a long time. After recognizing Firio's highly recognizable appearance at a glance, he slowly walked forward.

"You are Lord Firio, right? I am Yikong, the steward of the War Fortress. The Marquis Violet is waiting for you in the Fortress, and Duke Chaklo is also here."

Touching his chest, bowing, and nodding, the butler, who combed his silver-white hair meticulously, was also impeccable in his etiquette.

"Good fellow... this protective and henpecked guy is here!" Firio muttered softly, and bowed in return, smiling, "Good afternoon, Mr. Yikong. I have heard of the great reputation of the Battle Fortress a long time ago. I am honored to be able to come to the battle today."

Yikong stepped aside to make way for the crowd, still smiling: "As the champion of the tournament, it is our honor to have you come to the fortress! However, if I may be so presumptuous, what do you mean by protecting one's own shortcomings and being henpecked...?"

"Oh, nothing, just some private conversation between friends. I know both of them."

Firio waved his hand gently. He still didn't know whether the two of them had succeeded or not, so he didn't want to make it too clear.

"Is that so? Then I won't ask any more questions, Lord Firio." Yikong showed an understanding look and said in a gentle voice.

Firio blinked, his expression a little subtle: "You are too polite. I feel a little awkward when you address me as sir. Just call me by my name."
