This elf world is a bit strange

Philio usually makes OEM products for Kenny and others, and most of them are of this kind, with a few of the intermediate ghost-type energy cubes he designed himself.

Therefore, he could be said to be very familiar with this recipe.

However, when he saw the formula and materials coming out from the material outlet, his calm expression suddenly changed.

"Oh my goodness, an extra question within an extra question?"

Doubtful words came out of his mouth.

"Madge?"

"Buyi?"

After hearing what Firion said, Eevee and Incubus, who were resting on the side, turned their heads and looked at him with confusion.

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

When Firio proposed to start the additional assessment, the judges were seated.

"Director Niels, this recipe...?"

Woolley, who originally wanted to carry out the test step by step, was stopped by Nils, who replaced him as the chief judge. Then, a new formula and a new tree fruit material were taken out by the old man and placed on the transmission platform.

Niels' tone was calm but a little playful. "It's okay. This recipe is my own creation. There won't be any controversy. This is a good opportunity to test this young man's skills and understanding. I don't expect him to be able to make it, but if it looks good, I'll give him full marks."

"Yes, Director Niels, I'll do as you ask."

Woolley nodded and looked at the recipe with a subtle expression.

Although for Niels, a top breeder, a high-level formula is equally precious, it can also be used as an investment.

In terms of formula, the introduction of the technique can be described as concise and to the point, but for the candidates outside, as an object of on-site learning, this is undoubtedly a hellish problem.

What's more, he only has three chances to try.

This is both a form of support and a rigorous test.

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

"The advantage of the advanced universal energy block is that it absorbs and converts energy. The disadvantage is that it is expensive and difficult to operate... The examiner is really generous. He just let me learn such a good formula?"

With a quick glance, Firio had written down all the key points on the recipe, muttering to himself.

Then, facing an unknown senior behind the glass, he bowed slightly to express his gratitude.

He could only be sure that this was not Woolley's recipe, after all, the style and technique were completely different.

Woolley's formula focuses on efficacy, and the characteristic of this formula is blending. It has the commonality of general-purpose formulas, but it has taken a big step forward in various fields.

"Huh... Let's give it a try then."

After adjusting his breathing and exhaling the foul air in his chest, Firio, who had originally felt a little bored with the easy-to-scoring additional test questions, finally found some challenges.

"It's made of mango, cranberry, pomelo, and a little bit of lychee...sweet, slightly spicy, complex taste, energy configuration plus strength enhancement? It's a really interesting idea, it's really expensive...and it's also very difficult to make."

As he spoke, Firio began to cut and prepare the meat skillfully.

Although this work is usually done by OEM service recipients, it is only to save time. When it comes to technology, Filio's basic skills are truly impeccable.

Various tools were used in a variety of ways in his robot-like accurate hands, but in just a minute or two, all the materials were adjusted to the state most suitable for making energy blocks.

The intermediate energy cube production machine was started. For this formula, the assessment machine provided by the headquarters, which was quite old and of low grade, was not enough.

Hearing the noise from the machine, the expressions of several people on the judges' panel changed.

Association director Niels glanced at Woolley and said, "Who is responsible for replacing the machine? The maintenance quality is not up to standard. I remember that the association's standard is that the machine must ensure that the stability coefficient is not less than 95. Now it is at most 85, which is more than enough to make a mid-level energy cube. If it is higher, it will be a bit of a drag, right?"

"I will negotiate with the relevant departments later and have them replaced and upgraded as soon as possible. How about letting him use my portable manufacturing machine for this assessment?"

Wu Li nodded slightly and immediately thought of a remedy.

"No, just let him try this. Maybe you can see his true skills better. If it doesn't work the first time, you can try another one."

Nils shook his head and looked at Firion, who was scratching his head, with interest.

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

"This machine is really not very good."

Listening to the faint noise made by the operation of the machine, Firio couldn't help but complain.

But having said that, seeing that no one came in, he knew that the assessment had to continue, so he calmed down and carefully examined the sound of the machine when it was idling, trying to determine the problem.

This wait took several minutes.

"bang"

After gently tapping the metal layer of the machine's casing, Firio's eyes lit up.

"Okay."

Before he finished speaking, several small plates filled with tree fruit chunks were picked up from the table.

"48% mango."

First, there’s the light pink flesh that exudes a sweet fragrance.

This is a rare recipe where the main ingredient does not exceed 50%.

"28% cranberry."

Then, there are the orange fruits that are still distinct after being peeled.

"20% pomelo fruit."

Then comes the light golden flesh full of energy and rich flavor.

A balanced ratio is the source of the complex taste of the auxiliary ingredients and the key to energy balance.

“4% litchi fruit.”

Finally, there is a flash of imagination, filled with precious tree fruits with a sweet and spicy aroma.

"Rumble"

The machine made a noise and even vibrated slightly.

The fruits selected for the advanced formula and the quantity used have exceeded the load of this machine to a certain extent. Coupled with the fact that it is nearing the end of its service life, it is a bit overwhelmed.

However, Philio was not paying attention at this moment.

From the moment he started making it, he calmed down and poured all his energy and superpowers into it.

The vibrating machine brings a lot of uncertainty to the production process. A slight instability may lead to errors in the mixing of tree juices, which may affect the quality and output at the very least, or even ruin a whole batch of energy cubes.

Firion's hands moved in unison, his gaze calm and confident.

His super powers of perception allow him to accurately determine the location and time when a machine problem may occur.

His strong hand-eye coordination allows him to intervene as soon as he has made a judgement.

There is no trace of any widely circulated techniques or schools. Firio's style is only one, which is extreme speed and stability.

Every critical time node and every possible unexpected situation can be accurately grasped and resolved in a timely manner by him.

"What kind of method is this?"

Everyone on the judges' panel was astonished. Even Woolley and Niels, two experienced senior breeders, had hardly ever seen such an extreme production mode that relied entirely on talent without any emphasis on technique.

The production method of energy blocks is essentially designed to reduce the burden on breeders.

People's attention and physical strength are limited. Appropriate techniques can reduce the requirements for people's reaction ability while sacrificing minimum accuracy. Different techniques therefore have different scopes of application.

As for Firio, he had no intention of using any kind of techniques or schools in this production, but simply displayed his extraordinary coordination to the fullest.

"It's really a... work of art."

Nils' eyes lit up and he couldn't help but sigh.

This is his own recipe, and he knows every step by heart. Although he hasn't seen the finished product yet, he already has an idea of ​​it.

......

......

"Tsk, still not working......"

As the machine groaned slightly in pain like a patient, the top cover opened, revealing twenty-eight energy cubes.

A little less than the perfect 32.

During the production process, due to the vibration of the machine, a small amount of the fruit mixture was eventually lost and damaged, which made Filio, who always pursued perfection, not very satisfied.

But he didn't say anything more, just cooled it, packed it in a box, and submitted it.

Although this machine can still be used, its condition will not be better than this time.

The same is true for himself who forcibly operates the machine.

Mental and physical strength will inevitably decline after reaching their peak for a short period of time. This is true for everyone, including Firio.

[Candidate No. 1 Filio, your assessment is over. Please go to the lobby on the first floor of the association tomorrow morning to check your results.]

A neutral voice without any emotional fluctuations was heard, and the door of the examination room opened.

"Thank you, examiners."

After bowing to the judges behind the one-way glass, Filio turned and left confidently, waiting only to receive his certificate and complete the final work of improving the formula after the results were announced the next day.

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

"As a natural breeder and energy cube maker, I'm afraid the only thing they lack from becoming advanced breeders is the ability to design formulas and produce original results. But it seems that this day is not far away. It requires some inspiration and some accumulation of knowledge."

After just a small taste of the energy cube, Woolley came to a conclusion.

On the judging panel, the candidates in other examination rooms, as well as the next candidate who would enter this examination room, had all been forgotten by several people.

The temporary examiner, the association director, a senior breeder who possessed a master-level energy cube formula - one could say a top breeder - Niels, did not look bored at all as he did at the beginning of the assessment, but instead his eyes sparkled.

Although there are a few missing, if he makes it himself using a machine like this, the result won't be much better than this finished product.

What's more, this is the first production without any guidance, so some mistakes and misunderstandings are inevitable.

A real gem in the rough.

No, it should be said that it is a priceless jade that has begun to radiate its brilliance.

Thinking of this, Nils made up his mind.

"Woolley, think of a way to keep such talents. You should come in person. You and him are destined to be together. I will just keep an eye on this. After the assessment, I will report to Master Atley."

Looking at Woolley with burning eyes, Nils had never found this serious junior who always had a stern face so pleasing to the eye.

"Okay, Director Niels, I'll get ready and leave right away."

Woolley nodded seriously. He also knew what Nils meant and the tradition of the association.

Being a breeder is a profession that relies heavily on talent, and talented breeders with extraordinary talents are much rarer than powerful trainers.

Every young cultivator who shows talent is the focus of the regional association. We must establish good relationships with them, work hard to cultivate them, and make them feel a sense of belonging to the association. Only in this way can the association grow and develop.

Woolley, who came from a humble background, was discovered in the same way.

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

"Philio, please stay."

Not far from the association's headquarters building and just after turning an intersection, Filio heard a voice coming from behind him that sounded very familiar.

"Good morning, Mr. Woolley, what do you want to see me for?"

"Madge!"

"Buy!"

Firion extended his hand politely, and the little Incubus and the little Eevee also greeted him.

"Good morning, and you too, Succubus and Eevee." Woolley smiled friendly at the two little guys, walked up, shook Firion's hand, and said, "It's still early, how about we find a place to have a cup of coffee? There's a good cafe in this area, I highly recommend it, there are also desserts that Succubus and Eevee will probably like, at least I see many young people's Pokémon like it."

"It is my honor to be invited by you, Senior."

Firion gladly accepted.

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

"Machi~"

"Buy!"
