This elf world is a bit strange

"Okay, senior, to be honest, I do have this plan. I have a good friend whose family runs a well-known breeding house in Sala. My formula will be exclusively sold by them in Sala."

Deepening the cooperation with the Apei family was something that Philio had decided early on. After confirming that this could be done, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well, that's great. So let's sign an agreement? It's all drawn up by the association using a standard template. Do you want to check it out?"

As he was talking, a profit-making contract had been designed by the staff nearby and handed to Wu Li, who also handed it over.

"No need, senior. The association is definitely more rigorous than me in doing things, and they are unlikely to care about such a small income. I won't waste any more time on this."

Firio still trusts the credibility of the Breeders Association.

Moreover, such a recipe is nothing to the association headquarters which has more than a dozen master-level recipes.

"You are a very clear-sighted kid. The association has developed to this day, and it is not good to be petty." Wu Li said with more appreciation in his eyes, "Then take it. Four copies, each keep one, and you take Miss Milia's back. In addition, your improved formula has given me a lot of inspiration. If we have time later, can we exchange ideas?"

"I can't ask for it."

With a few quick strokes, Filiole signed his name.

"Okay, go record the filming techniques. Be careful, especially explain the specific key points. Otherwise, the breeders who come to work for you won't be able to learn them, which will be a bit troublesome and will easily affect our reputation."

Having negotiated an improved formula that still had potential, Woolley was in a good mood. He walked to Firio in a cheerful tone, led him to the teaching area, and gave him a friendly reminder as a senior.

......

......

"Filio, with all due respect, this technique of yours... may not be easy to learn."

Seeing Firio's swift hands again, beads of sweat appeared on Woolley's forehead.

"It's okay, senior. There's no need for them to replicate my operation method. You see, I have marked the key points of each step. Under what circumstances, what operations need to be performed. My method is just one of the ways to present this skill."

After taking a light bite of his own cube, Firio nodded slightly, quite satisfied, took out a booklet, handed it to Woolley, and explained.

"...So, is there a more suitable version of the operation to learn? Not everyone can complete such a difficult technique like you."

Looking at the manual that took up half a volume with every detail, Woolley asked, with dark lines already appearing above his head.

"Oh, a simple version? Yes. It's the method that teacher Milia taught me. I think it's a little inefficient and the quality is a little worse, but it can be used."

As he spoke, Firio freed his hands, picked up a few fruits, and after cutting them, there was another round of "clinking, ding-dang-dang" sounds.

Not long after, a whole box of 32 energy cubes, but in slightly worse condition, came out again.

"...I suspect you are showing off to me on purpose."

Looking at the energy blocks produced as smoothly as flowing water, Wu Li was a little speechless.

"How is that possible? Do I look like that kind of person?"

Being discovered, Firio chuckled, scratched his head and pretended nothing had happened.

"Machi~!"

The little dream demon also flew around as if nothing had happened, skillfully providing cover for Firion.

"...Buyi!"

Although little Ibrahimovic was originally a kind person, he has recently shown a bit of the tendency to be influenced by the company he keeps. He put on a silly and cute look and stared at Woolley, making him a little helpless to resist.

"...Okay. Then use this. Send me an electronic version of your notes online. I'll use it for making tutorials. It can be simple. If it's too complicated, most people won't be able to learn it. Just aim to make it so that it's easier for you to sell it yourself."

Woolley, who saw through the situation but didn't say anything, simply ignored Firio and gave him some experience from the "old senior", even though he was only in his forties.

But in front of Firion, he really felt like he was old.

"Patch?"

There was a flash of white light, and a blue and white electric rat with undisguised cunning in its eyes appeared on Woolley's shoulder.

"Zi La"

With a flash of lightning, the white devil gave its trainer a haircut for free and also helped him to cheer up.

"Ahem, don't worry about it. My Pachirisu is a little naughty."

After silently taking his companion back, Woolley, with his afro on his head, said as if nothing had happened.

"Nooo!"

A wave of unrest, a wave of up again.

Following Pachirisu, Swamplord also emerged from the Poké Ball and directly pressed Woolley to the ground. He even had time to stretch out his hand and greet Firion and the others in a silly way.

"Go back here! It hurts! Stop pressing me. If you keep doing this, I really won't cook for you tonight!"

Compared to the petite white devil, Woolley seemed to have more difficulty dealing with such a big guy. He struggled hard before he was able to take the Swamp King back.

"...Senior, you two have such a good relationship."

Firio sighed calmly.

After this incident, Wu Li’s image as an “old veteran” was completely destroyed.

"These two guys..."

Combing his hair that was wet by the Swamp King's water gun, Woolley gritted his teeth as he felt his image was shattered in front of his juniors.

"It's okay, senior, I didn't see anything, I didn't hear anything."

Firio's voice remained calm, but the teasing and mockery in his eyes could not be suppressed.

"Madge!"

The little dream demon floated aside and nodded seriously, his eyes rolling around, thinking about what Pachirisu had just done, and then thinking about his own electric ball.

learnt!

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

"Well, anyway, you still have to practice hard and try to research a formula of your own as soon as possible. Original results are the truly important achievements of a breeder."

"Okay, senior, I'll follow your instructions."

Woolley, who seemed to have returned to normal, spoke as he walked out with Firio to the lobby of the association's headquarters.

The two of them were talking and laughing, and looked very harmonious.

Suddenly, Firion stopped and looked to the other side of the hall.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Woolley turned around and asked, following Filio's gaze, "Master Gejihua and Hunter? Do you know them?"

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

"On top of the market base price, the manufacturing fee is going to be increased by another 10%. Do we want to charge 50%? Isn't this a bit too expensive?"

The woman who looked like Lunala, the moon goddess of the Alola region, had a confused and surprised tone, and seemed to be caught in a bargaining dispute.

Opposite her was a middle-aged man in his early forties.

After hearing what Ge Jihua said, the man Hunter shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Master Ge Jihua, you get what you pay for. The quality of my finished product is much higher than most of the high-level energy cubes on the market, so the price will naturally move up, which is normal."

Ge Jihua said in a somewhat unhappy tone: "But the quality control of your energy cubes is not that great, right? Although some are of top quality, there are also quite a few defective ones. It's probably not a market rule to charge all cubes like this."

"Master Ge Jihua, the price and stability of the other companies' high-level psychic energy cubes you need are not much better. Moreover, their contracts are probably more generous than mine. It takes a lot of effort to make high-level energy cubes, and the success rate is not very high. There are only a few in a day. There won't be a monster that can produce dozens or hundreds of boxes a day with uniform quality, right? They are not intermediate and primary energy cubes."

Hunter stood firm and refused to give in. He seemed to be certain that Ge Jihua had no choice for the time being, and he seemed very confident.

"If you still have doubts, we can meet again another day. For now, I have some things to deal with, so I'll take my leave now."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and walked down the stairs.

Ge Jihua was annoyed, but she didn't have any better solution for the moment. Her chest was heaving, and she was obviously very uneasy.

"Is it Kajika-senpai?"

Just as she was getting angry, a somewhat unfamiliar voice came from behind her.

"Hmm? You are... the little Firion that Nancy introduced?"

Chapter 42: The First Bucket of Gold (5/40, please order first!)

"Are you... the little Firion that Nancy introduced?"

Seeing Firio and Woolley walking together, Gejihua was surprised.

"Good morning, Senior Ge Jihua, nice to meet you. I'm Firio. Thank you for taking care of me in the group."

Firio bowed and took the initiative to greet Gejihua, politely and respectfully.

"Good morning, little Filio. Aren't you in Sala? Why are you here...? Mr. Woolley is here too. Long time no see."

Ge Jihua was a little confused. She had never heard in the group that Firio had any relationship with the Breeders Association, and she was a little unsure about the relationship between the two people in front of her who seemed to be very close.

"Long time no see, Master Gejihua. Filio just passed the Intermediate Breeder Assessment with first place. He came here today to apply for his Intermediate Breeder Qualification Certificate and complete two advanced energy cube formula patent certifications."

Without waiting for Filio to explain, Woolley took the initiative to tell him the situation.

"Eh?! Intermediate breeder, advanced formula?" Such explosive news made Ge Jihua gasp, "Okay, little Filio, you didn't reveal any information in advance? You are only eighteen years old, right?"

Filio quickly explained: "Senior, it's like this, the formula is not what you imagined. One is that I improved Mr. Woolley's ghost-type advanced energy block formula, and the other is the formula designed by my teacher himself. I just helped a little bit in it."

"Oh My God......"

Ge Jihua was still in shock and muttered to herself.

Many fragmented scenes of fate slowly emerged before her eyes.

As her emotions fluctuated, she subconsciously activated her superpowers.

Then she discovered that the fragments of the future became extremely blurred and unpredictable, like a layer of mist, covering the star track of destiny.

"Senior, you look unhappy. Have you encountered any difficulties? I heard from Senior Woolley that Mr. Hunter's reputation...maybe..."

Seeing that Gejihua was still a little uneasy, Firio simply changed the subject and asked about her.

"Oh, that's true. I was deceived by him before. Now he is raising the price of my energy cubes even higher than the market price by 10%."

Speaking of troubles, Ge Jihua withdrew her gaze from the future and sighed.

Then, she realized that the junior in front of her was also an expert at designing and making advanced energy blocks. Although there were slight differences in the techniques of making ghost-type and psychic-type blocks, it was not a difficult task for an excellent maker.

Her eyes lit up, and she asked anxiously, "Speaking of which, Little Filio, can you make advanced energy blocks of the psychic system?"

"As for the superpower type, you can try it, but it's a new formula, so you may need to get familiar with it."

Firion held his chin with one hand and spoke modestly subconsciously.

"Get familiar with it... a little? Shouldn't you ask someone to teach you?"

Ge Jihua is a little skeptical about life.

She seemed unable to keep up with the pace of the young newcomer in front of her.

"?"

Firio was also a little confused. In his opinion, the production of energy blocks of the same level was basically a one-size-fits-all approach. Once you mastered the key points, the rest should be able to be completed after you were familiar with the formula.

The scene fell into an eerie silence for a moment.

"Ahem." Woolley coughed slightly, breaking the awkward deadlock between the two. "It's like this, Master Gejihua, Firio may have a little...special talent in making energy cubes. Previously, Director Nils had him learn how to make advanced energy cubes on the spot, and the quality was impeccable."

Out of care for his outstanding juniors, Woolley personally guaranteed him and also brought in top breeder Niels as his backer.

Seeing that Ge Jihua was somewhat interested, Filio asked, "Senior Wu Li, according to the rules, can I make a copy in advance?"

Wu Li shook his head. "I'm afraid that won't work unless the owner of Gejihua Pavilion signs a letter of intent with you. However, the number of times a letter of intent can be signed is also very limited, with a maximum of three people in one contract. After all, the rights of the formula designer must be protected."

"It's okay, I still have two chances. Philio is a lovely junior of our 'Super Power Research Association', and Mr. Woolley has such a high evaluation. Of course, I should give it a try. Just use the association's production room, how?"

Just as Hunter said, there are not many breeders who can make advanced energy cubes, and the business is basically in short supply.

And in the fragmented future just now, what she saw was undoubtedly a good result.

She believes in the guidance of fate and is willing to give Firion enough trust.

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

"This machine is much better than the one used during the exam, Senior. When will the association provide better machines for us examinees?"

In the production room, after signing the OEM intention contract under the witness of Woolley, the three of them prepared to start the first production attempt.

Listening to the pleasant sound of the top-level energy cube manufacturing machine that was capable of making master-level formulas, Firio once again complained about the energy cube manufacturing machine used in yesterday's assessment, which was perhaps older than him.

"This... will be replaced in the near future. You are just taking the intermediate breeder assessment, and it is not normal to exceed the load of the machine. It is just an accident." In front of Ge Jihua, Wu Li was a little embarrassed. He hurriedly explained a few words and wanted to change the subject, "Hurry up and start working. The machines here are all the best."
