This elf world is a bit strange

But at the Cactus Club meeting, during the brainstorming discussion, the problem that had troubled Filio for a long time had the possibility of being solved in a different way.

His passion for research was rekindled and became unstoppable.

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

The days pass by like a calendar on the wall, page by page, without much sense of the reality of time.

As the weather turns cooler from summer to autumn, more and more students set out to Kitakami Township to participate in festival study tours.

The bustling campus is gradually entering the quietest time of the year.

But it is at times like this that the activities of the "left-behind people" become more frequent and colorful.

Taking advantage of the great opportunity of a significant reduction in the number of courses, Savaro, who was not under pressure to prepare for lessons, used the same enthusiasm he had when studying the master recipe a few years ago and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the development and experimentation of new recipes.

For many days, the middle-aged man in the pink shirt became more and more unkempt. He spent the whole day in his laboratory with Filio and others, and even forgot to shave.

Even Caidou and Nemo only see Firion a few times a day. Instead, they are entrusted with the training of Pokémon. Nemo is so angry that she beats her chest and shouts that he doesn't know people well.

She had originally thought of finding two strong rivals for herself, but now she had become a captured soldier, and her happiness instantly disappeared.

Taking this opportunity, Firion, who was studying hard in the company of the little dream demon, seemed to have returned to the summer when he was sixteen or seventeen years old. He found the joy of exploring the unknown, and together with Papa, Lillian, and Savaro, he made countless defective energy blocks and Pokémon meals.

When we got to the back, the weird smell emanating from the piles of defective or discarded products made even Savarro's gentle Brimwen a little unable to resist. He quietly slipped away and ran to the breeding house to play with his daughter. .

However, as the saying goes, failure is the mother of success. Although hundreds or thousands of failed experiments and wrong combinations did not bring them real successful samples, they also played an important role.

The substantive results are still hidden in the dark, but some interesting phenomena prove that they are getting closer to the correct answer.

At least one of the initial conjectures has been confirmed as the experiments progressed.

That is, compared with high-quality ingredients that contain nutritional power, those seasonings that retain their plant form may be the finishing touch.

This is normal, as most of the seasonings in Padia that can improve appetite are, in essence, grafted or re-bred from the five mother plants of the legendary seasonings. Although their effects are much worse than those brought out from the Padia Pit, they are not ordinary products either.

The existence of these plant seasonings is itself a continuation of the legendary seasonings. Even if they do not have the great effect of turning decay into something magical, they are different from purer raw materials such as food ingredients.

Following this path, while constantly researching and trying out errors, the group naturally came up with a hypothesis that was difficult to verify.

If it is a legendary seasoning, the effect would probably be more significant, and it might even be universally applicable.

Unfortunately, such conjectures can only remain at the level of theoretical deduction and are not feasible to be put into practice.

The reason is simple: the legendary seasonings that are still in existence are too scarce.

In the entire Padia region, only a few areas where the Lord Pokémon live and a small amount of legendary seasonings are bred. These rare species can only meet the harsh conditions for survival and reproduction there, fundamentally losing the possibility of large-scale production.

Even worse is that according to the rescue team that went deep into Area Zero to try to rescue Dr. Olin and Dr. Fortu who were trapped in the research institute, the area where the legendary seasoning was first discovered was completely destroyed due to damage caused by a large-scale accident a few years ago.

In other words, deep in the Padia Pit, these rare treasures may have completely disappeared.

Nowadays, although Padilla College still retains a few samples, they can only be used as breeding mother plants. They are one of the most precious heritage of the college and certainly cannot be used for experiments.

Therefore, for a long time, this conjecture could only be a conjecture and remained at the theoretical level.

However, for Filio and others except Papa, whether this conjecture can be confirmed is not too important. The value of research and exploration itself is enough to satisfy them.

Defective products are still being produced on a large scale and are gradually piling up like mountains.

The heated experiments are still going on, and from time to time there are some "foreign aid" - those members of the Cactus Club who have graduated join in, bringing new inspiration and practical skills.

The first group of confirmed effective fusion combinations came naturally, and even though they had no practical effect yet, they still made everyone excited.

But starting from a certain day, Lilian seemed to suddenly become busy, no longer coming to the laboratory, and she would stay away for several days.

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

It was another evening. After a day of hard experiments, Firio, who was so tired that his wrists and forearms were not only sore but also a little numb and tingling, had dinner, picked up his partner who was exhausted by Nemo and Caidou's training, and staggered back to his room.

As someone with super powers, he shouldn't be so tired, but that was based on adequate rest.

Rather than concentrating on one topic, Savaro also conducts his own research in his private time.

The accumulation of fatigue is not at the level of 1+1=2, but an exponential increase.

But such fatigue made him feel fulfilled and rewarding, because this collaborative research had given him great reference value and direction.

To sum it up with a perhaps inappropriate but quite intuitive statement, the production of energy cubes seems to be a highly professional technology, but it can also be understood as another way of cooking with the help of special machinery.

The inspiration brought by Padilla's unique research came from within and enabled his research to advance by leaps and bounds.

Rubbing his wrist which was already quite uncomfortable, Firio looked at the clock on the wall and called his teacher who was far away in Carlos.

Soon, the screen lit up, revealing a pretty face with sleepy eyes, and, although still dazed, uncontrollable anger.

"Filio! Do you know what time it is?!"

Teacher Milia was extremely angry because she should have enjoyed a good sleep at the end of the holiday but her sweet dreams were disturbed by her unfilial disciple.

However, before she could finish her words, the soft wind ball pushed her out of the screen.

"Laiduo~"

The little fat guy, who had become a little plumper after not seeing him for a few months, waved a ribbon, gulped down the happy water that was still covered with frost, and greeted Firio on the other side of the screen with a beaming face.

If it weren't for the screen, it would even want to do a passionate chest-bumping celebration, which made Millia's face turn black, and she suppressed it with a strong palm.

"bang"

"Lai...Duo..."

The wobbly ribbon "struggled" to rise, and finally said goodbye to Firion and the little dream demon. The Wind Ball, which had an outrageous amount of inner drama, completely disappeared.

I guess it was Teacher Milia who put an end to my sinful morning or the whole day (no mercy)

Firion tried hard to suppress his laughter, and then held down the dream demon whose face had swelled up like a balloon because of trying not to laugh, and said seriously:

"Good morning, Teacher Milia. Did yesterday's experiment go smoothly? I have a new idea today."

"...You've been using this way of greeting for a week, can you change it to another one?"

A small cross appeared on Millia's forehead. She was very dissatisfied with Filio's perfunctory attitude, but she could do nothing about her favorite disciple.

"Ah... did I owe you money in my previous life?" Milia sighed helplessly, pressing her throbbing temples and pulling out the test results. "Are you trying to retaliate against me for conscripting you during the winter break, so you're torturing me?"

"Look at what you said. I accelerated the process just to get the results as soon as possible!" Filio shook his head seriously. "Besides, Padiya does have many technical ideas worth learning from. I suggest you take a look when you have time."

Although it was just to fool Milia, it was true.

Savaro's Cactus Club is indeed a research organization worthy of long-term cooperation. It is more efficient than the research methods of Milia and Filio, which are based on a master-disciple relationship but still work alone.

"Forget it, let's talk about it later..." Miria waved her hands tiredly, her eyes full of disgust, "Take it for analysis, and the content of today's experiment, right? Send it together, I'll do it after I wake up."

"Okay~"

With an exaggerated salute, Firion clicked his mouse and a large compressed package was instantly sent out.

Without waiting for Millia to exclaim “So many?!” or complain, the dream demon, whose reading level was comparable to his, decisively pressed the hang-up button, turning the screen black.

"Good job!"

"Madge!"

The two, whose consciences were darker than the screen, high-fived each other in celebration, leaving Teacher Milia, who was still sitting on the bed like a duck, speechless.

Not to mention doing it after waking up, even if I don’t sleep, today’s research idea doesn’t seem to be able to be completed.

Holding her forehead with her hand, after doubting herself for the umpteenth time about her own vision in selecting disciples, Teacher Milia stood up blankly and walked to the laboratory.

When she changed into her white coat and prepared to start her day as a scientific researcher, a flash of inspiration flashed through her chaotic mind.

Like the morning light in the east.

The shadows of a purple fat man twisting his butt and a little old man pretending to be serious appeared before her eyes.

She clapped her hands with her fists, then suddenly remembered that she also had a teacher, sneered, and took out her cell phone without hesitation.

It's time to put some more burden on the shoulders of some principals who are not doing their jobs!

Today is also a day of love and hate between master and apprentice.

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

"Specificity of seasonings? Teacher Milia is really accurate. My stomach is a little itchy, stop rubbing it."

"Buyi~"

Seeing Firion concentrating on his research, the Sun Eevee, who was thinking of acting coquettishly, smiled sweetly, jumped off his lap, and walked slowly towards the carpet in the hallway.

Over there, the Big Mouth Boy and the Wind Fairy began to fight for the game controller and the few remaining snacks again, leaving a mess on the carpet that Emperor Nabo had just cleaned.

"Lanka! Lanka!"

The rod-tailed scaly dragon sitting beside the bed was busy accepting Korni's remote guidance. It shouted "Hehehaha" and danced with its hands, shaking the sturdy bed.

The battle during the day gave it some new inspiration, and it needed Korni and Lucario to answer its questions.

Outside the window, a dragon was flying high in the night sky, using the deep night as cover, fully displaying its huge, beautiful wings and its unruly nature.

Only the little dream demon seemed very honest. It lay on top of Firion's head, with the same focused expression as his. It watched and chattered something.

The energy cube maker, which had just been cleaned by Emperor Nabo and still had a faint mist, was placed steadily on the table, along with a few fresh tree fruits.

"Madge! MadgeMadge!"

Showing a confident smile, Xiao Mengyao, a senior energy cube taster, puffed out his chest and pointed at the dragon fire fruit, pomelo fruit and exotic fruit on the table with great certainty.

"If we can reduce the loss of the energy of the Strange Fruit during the fusion with the Dragon Fire Fruit, the peaceful vitality of the Pomelo Fruit can lock in its efficacy, and the effect will be much higher."

Firio nodded, rubbed the dream demon's little face, and glanced at the neatly stacked seasonings amid its protest, falling into deep thought.

The exotic fruit is indeed the best choice for changing the ratio, but there is still one step missing. If you want to successfully neutralize these two kinds of restless energy fruits, the pomelo fruit alone is far from enough.

"Maggie? Maggie!"

Seeing that Firio ignored him, the dream demon, which had swelled up like a balloon, grabbed his hand and reached out to the glass bottle that had been placed on the corner of the table and no one cared about it.

"Hmm? You mean, berry jam?"

Firion didn't understand why, but he followed it and picked up the glass bottle.

The little dream demon nodded vigorously and unscrewed the lid with great effort, and a sweet and sour smell hit her face.

"Madge!"

"No way, this thing is originally a fruit, an ingredient, and a seasoning...!"

Firion shook his head subconsciously, then suddenly realized.

"Machi~!"

The nimble hair swayed gently, and the little dream demon was very proud of being one step faster than his trainer.

"I really am blind to the truth... You should really become a researcher. How can there be a Pokémon as smart as my little Dream Monster?"

Firion was overjoyed and scooped up the Nightmare Monster, gently touching their heads together, eliciting a combination of whining noises and attacks from the Facehugger.

Inspired by the dream demon, Firio once again recalled Master Kikuko's classic statement that "no matter how things change, they remain essentially the same."

This is true for both breeders and trainers.

Compared with him, a professional breeder who thinks five steps ahead before taking one step, the dream demon who relies solely on intuition and perception to make judgments is more perceptive. He saw through the fog in front of him at a glance and found the key to the problem.

In previous research, he focused on the purity of pre-processed ingredients and overlooked the wonderful uses of this complex.

Adding materials, sealing, starting the machine, a violent shock that can be called a fight...

......

......

In the spacious and bright student dormitory, a faint fragrance wafts out from the gap in the glass lid.

"It's not right yet, something is missing, but the idea is correct. So... is it the ratio and dosage? No, not that either, or should I say that something like pomelo fruit is not suitable?"

Cut off a tiny bit, sipped it in his mouth, and used his taste buds and superpowers to feel the exciting taste experience and weak energy fluctuations. Filio frowned slightly and saw the last layer of window paper in front of him.

During the long contemplation, Firion sat motionless like a sculpture. His friends who were playing and frolicking in the room lowered their voices. Even the dream demon quietly left, ran to the window, took out the little cubes that he had quietly taken, and stuffed them into his mouth.

A faint aura rose from the surface of the body and then quickly faded away. The effect was not as obvious as expected.

The big, shining eyes blinked with a look of great confusion, which was extremely cute.

As time passed, Firion carefully looked at the colorful semi-finished product, which was not as crystal clear as the 1.0 version.

Repeat the previous operations countless times in your mind, not missing any details.

The three types of pre-processed fruits are mixed into a paste and added into the machine, followed by the edible berry jam. After being fully integrated, the machine is started as a complete whole.
