This elf world is a bit strange

"Mr. Filho, please select your practical ability test item."

The staff, who were fully aware of the importance of this assessment, appeared particularly friendly and peaceful at this moment.

"Thank you. For my main project, I chose Pokémon food preparation, and for my secondary projects, I chose tree fruit identification and drug interpretation, potion preparation, and Pokémon body care techniques."

Filio already had ideas about the project selection for this round of testing.

Elf food and maintenance techniques are what he is best at, except for the production of energy blocks which he cannot choose at this time. He is also confident that tree fruits and potions will not lag behind.

"Okay, then please start the main test. After each test, we will provide you with the questions and supplies for the next test, as well as Pokémon for the test. During the test, you can let your Pokémon partner help you, or you can operate on your own, and you can use special abilities. In other words, there are no restrictions."

The staff member bowed slightly and left the room. Then, three pieces of material were delivered out of the hole in the wall by a robotic arm.

Above the ground, a slightly old machine rose from the ground.

[You have three chances to prepare the elf food, and the maximum time is 20 minutes. For every additional portion of ingredients you choose, three points will be deducted from the total score, with a maximum of six points. Now, the test timer begins.]

A neutral voice without any emotion echoed in the room through the loudspeaker.

"Let me see... Baya fruit, pomelo fruit, orange fruit, general-purpose slightly bitter elf food? Good title, good tree fruit, although not as good as that cunning merchant A Pei's, but it can also be called a good product."

Picking up the fruits one by one and examining them carefully, Firion nodded with satisfaction.

With this behavior, he didn't seem like a candidate, but more like half an examiner, which made the judges sitting behind him laugh slightly.

In the judges' booth, the person sitting in the main seat in the middle was not the senior breeder Wu Li, but an old man with gray hair and a somewhat listless look.

Judging from the way Wu Li spoke to him, it was more like that of an elder and a junior, a teacher and a student.

"Okay, let's get started! Little Dreamer, Little Eevee, find a place to rest for a while."

Rolling up his sleeves, Firio is ready to get to work.

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

The preparation of Elf food has some similarities with energy cubes. The difference is that Elf food also contains a considerable amount of daily food raw materials, such as milk, carbohydrates, and some high-quality sources of protein and vitamins.

The role of tree fruits is no longer just to provide energy, but also to take into account seasoning and nutrition. The food attribute is greater than the resource attribute. This is why elf food and energy blocks need to be used together.

After all, Pokémon have never been energy beings, and they also need to replenish their daily life needs.

The fruits are skillfully cleaned, peeled, cut into pieces, and juiced, then poured into the instrument in proportion, mixed with other materials into a whole, and then cooled and solidified to become the most common brown particles on the market.

All the movements are smooth and done in one go.

It's not as fast and precise as making energy blocks, but it has a more fluid beauty.

Elf food may not look as good as special dishes, but it actually contains just as many nutrients and the taste is not necessarily bad.

It took only five or six minutes for a whole portion of steaming elf food to be prepared, using the method taught by Millia herself.

The quality and quantity are undoubtedly top-notch among intermediate Pokémon foods. It is both nutritious and tasty, and is also considered top-notch among intermediate breeders.

"Examiners, my first assessment is over. Please review it."

Placing the prepared elf food in the gap where the raw materials were provided earlier, Firion bowed slightly towards the one-way glass.

[The results will be announced at 8:30 tomorrow morning. Now, candidates are invited to start the second test, tree fruit identification and pharmacological analysis.]

The elf food and remaining ingredients were taken away silently, and replaced by a prickly fruit that was obviously a few centimeters larger than a normal fruit. Next to it, a small piece of fruit sample was placed for the examinees to test.

Firio had no intention of testing it. He walked forward, grabbed it with one hand, probed his superpowers into it, smiled, and then turned back to the seat he had just raised, picked up a pen and paper, and began to write quickly.

The fruit used for the test is very interesting. It is a typical product of failed hybridization. It attempts to reconcile the characteristics of the bergamot fruit and the thorny fruit. In the form of a fruit, it achieves an effect that can only be achieved by many high-quality energy blocks. It is quite ambitious.

However, such an attempt resulted in the mixing of energies between the two different kinds of fruit. The two conflicting energies lacked the regulator that energy blocks often add, and thus became incompatible and canceled each other out, with only one tenth of the effect remaining.

However, Filio also realized that such "mixed fruits" can also play a certain role in specific occasions, that is, special pharmacology: in the process of mutual offset, energy is also fused, and this small amount of energy after fusion is the "catalyst" that can play a miraculous role in the production of energy blocks.

Although this application method requires sufficiently excellent skills and techniques, it is indeed a use.

Thinking of this, Filio wrote quickly, listed a slightly improved basic operating method and key points, and then submitted the answer sheet.

"Now, please start your third test, drug preparation."

Time passed quickly. The first two test items did not stump Firion at all, and he handed in a work that amazed the examiner.

As for the third item, it is a "shortcoming that is not a shortcoming" for him.

It's a decent wound medicine preparation, with standard techniques and good results, but there's nothing special about it.

It can only be considered excellent, but definitely not outstanding.

Firio's interest is not here, and human energy is limited.

"Maybe some points will be deducted...but it doesn't matter."

Looking at his own work, Firio also knew the advantages and disadvantages of this good medicine. He shrugged and submitted it.

Lastly, there are the Pokémon body care techniques that he is also good at.

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

"Come on, coyote dog, lift your left front leg a little bit."

"Porgy!"

Although it was a bit painful, the coyote still cooperated by lifting up the injured leg and moving it gently.

This coyote dog is the subject of the fourth assessment and is also one of the lightly injured Pokémon that the Miare Pokémon Center routinely treats.

Every day, the Pokémon Center in Miare City receives many such Pokémon. Some are stray Pokémon. When they encounter similar assessments, they will be gathered together and treated by junior breeders who are at least of a good level.

There is a dedicated person supervising outside the door, who will immediately come in to interrupt if something goes wrong.

However, Firio was clearly not among them.

With just a quick inspection, Firion discovered many problems with this Pokémon using his psychic abilities and his knowledge as a breeder.

Mild malnutrition.

Minor infection and skin trauma on the left front leg.

Minor muscle tear in right front leg.

Lumbar strain.

Chronic lack of sleep.

For two consecutive years, he has been giving physical examinations and massages to Naruto every day, and occasionally treating and massaging Pokémon such as Frostnir, Glaive, and Warrior Hawk. Now he has a new partner, Eevee. With so many service objects, Firion has gained a lot of experience.

His expertise in psychic perception also allows him to detect every Pokémon's hidden injuries and old wounds.

Obvious injuries can be treated with medicine and bandages, as well as targeted supplements.

Malnutrition and lack of sleep are managed through medication and food.

Muscle tears and lumbar strain can be relieved and treated through unique massage techniques combined with medication.

Under Filio's orderly treatment, the coyote's expression changed from pain and fear to slight enjoyment and relaxation.

His waist, which had been tense all the time, completely relaxed and his whole body fell limply on the treatment bed. It was obvious that in a short period of time, he had gained full trust in Philio.

This is a very rare thing for wandering Pokémon, especially those who are not very young and have rich experience.

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

"Impeccable treatment and maintenance, even many advanced breeders only have more exquisite details and innovations."

Behind the one-way glass, the old man sitting in the middle no longer felt bored and listless, but was full of interest in Firio on the other side of the window.

"What he's best at isn't this, but making energy cubes, right, Woolley?"

Woolley nodded and said, "Yes, Director Niels, he is applying for a patent for one of my formulas, and I think it is also an inspiration to me."

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

"Examiners, my second round of assessment has been completed. Now I would like to apply to start the additional additional project test: energy cube production."

While the two were talking, Filio had already handed the coyote, who was still reluctant to leave after completing treatment, to the staff who came to pick them up.

Then, facing the judges behind the one-way glass, he applied for the final test.

Comments on the launch and subsequent updates (40 updates and 20 posts on the first day)

Good afternoon, fellow book lovers. I have some news for you.

It was quite sudden. I received a notice from the editor Qinghu this morning that this book will be officially on the shelves.

It happened a few days earlier than expected, so I didn't fully react for a while.

To be honest, when I wrote these few lines, I was still a little dazed and didn't understand the situation.

18 words is a very memorable number for an author, because my first book was signed with this word count, and this book is exactly at this length. I have to say that it is a very touching coincidence for me.

Thank you very much for your willingness to support me who is still immature even now.

Especially to all the book friends who provide various complaints, analyses, pictures, and emoticons, every time I see your comments, I will have more confidence to continue writing.

Sometimes it is everyone's comments that make many stories more colorful.

Firion’s story has just begun, and there are many, many chapters waiting for us to complete together.

I also hope to continue walking with you all.

This book is completely different from the previous one in style. I hope to write a more interesting one, which can sometimes bring a little touching feeling, and sometimes turn into a small passionate novel, and create a new Pokémon world.

It would be a great honor for me to spend an unforgettable time with all of you.

Well, that’s enough of the digression. Today is the first day of the book’s release, and although the preparations are not sufficient, the author still intends to carry out a burst of updates as originally planned.

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

The details of today's release are as follows:

Chapter 2 will be updated regularly after release.

Just like the previous book, it is now available on the shelves with 15 additional chapters.

The leader of the alliance Jingying Ruge has added 10 chapters, and the leader of the helm has added 2 chapters (originally 4 chapters, 2 chapters have been added in advance), for a total of 12 chapters.

The leader of the Shishui Aotian group will add 10 chapters.

One more chapter of the dark boss of Mengpin.

This totals 40 chapters, about 20 words, which will be updated starting at 20:5 tonight, at a speed of about minutes per chapter.

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

Subsequent updates and additions are as follows:

After it is released, this book will be serialized with 5000 words per chapter and two updates per day.

There are three situations for adding more content.

For the first order (only the data after the first chapter is updated 24 hours later is counted), for every 100 orders, one additional chapter will be added. There is no upper limit, and the part less than 1 will be rounded up.

(Dream Eevee is cute.jpg)

For every 100 average subscriptions (valid for a long time), one additional chapter will be added, with no upper limit.

Reward (valid for a long time): For every 10000 Qidian coins you give, one additional chapter will be added. A maximum of 1 chapters can be added for a single reward.

If there are any temporary additional updates in the future, a separate chapter explanation will be attached.

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

Finally, I would like to thank everyone again for their support, encouragement, criticism and suggestions over the past month since the publication of the book.

If my words can make everyone feel more or less happy.

If the stories of Firion, Incubus and Eevee can make everyone feel more or less beautiful.

Then I will be very happy.
