Leisurely daily life in the elf world

Chapter 693

"In addition to Meltan, I also found a pool of molten metal."

"The energy inside is very powerful. Those two champion-level gear monsters must have grown to this level relying on these metal solutions."

Daigo told Rongqi about his gains this time.

He didn't have any hidden ideas. Rong Qi and Mikoli were not steel-type trainers, so it wouldn't matter if they knew what resources he had obtained.

The two of them would not hold on to his thighs and ask him to distribute the molten metal to them.

"That should be formed by the remaining energy and the metal elements absorbed after Melmetal's body was shattered."

Since Meltan was born from the body fragments of Melmetal, Rong Qi guessed that most of Melmetal's energy was used to nurture Meltan.

That metal solution should be formed by the metal elements attracted by Melmetal's body over a long period of time and some fragments of Melmetal's body.

"A pool of liquid formed by the essence of an entire mineral vein. You've made quite a harvest this time."

Rong Qi was amazed on the other end of the phone.

This guy Daigo also has some luck.

Not only did he find the resources for Metagross to break through to the master level, but he also brought back a steel-type mythical beast.

"I'll bring Meltan over in a couple of days for you to see. Help me make a training plan for Meltan."

With Rong Qi, a master breeder as his friend, Daigo naturally wouldn't spend money to look for those high-level breeders.

They may not even know what race Meltan is.

"Okay, I can also customize Meltan's energy cubes. They are affordable and good value for money."

Rong Qi promoted the product to Daigo with a smile.

"we'll talk about it then."

Daigo's mouth twitched.

This guy obviously has a lot of property, but why does he still look like a money-grubber?

But Daigo also understood.

Who can have trouble with money?

Aren’t I also working hard for the future development of Devon Company?

He is one of the top rich second-generations in the elf world.

Aren’t you still working hard?

……

Inside the Pokémon Center in Kanaz City.

As usual, Rong Qi came to the Elf Center and asked the staff there to go to the farm to conduct physical examinations on the elves on the farm.

Under the guidance of the front desk staff, Rong Qi came to the lounge of the Elf Center.

The Elf Center also needs to make a profit. Customers like Rong Qi who have large-scale elf physical examinations once a month are definitely their high-quality customers.

Even if it is just an ordinary physical examination, an elf may only cost tens of thousands of Alliance coins.

But there are so many elves on the farm, and Rong Qi is willing to spend money.

The annual medical examination fee is equivalent to three months' revenue of the Kanaz City Elf Center.

He was naturally qualified to be treated preferentially by the Elf Center.

Rong Qi was bored and flipping through the medical books on the bookshelf in the lounge.

Rong Qi is good at potions and pharmacology. When it comes to professional elven medicine, he cannot compare with the professionally trained members of the Joey family.

At least in the areas of elf structural science and internal medicine, Rong Qi could not compare to Qiao Yinan before.

It's hard to say about Qiao Yimina now. Although Rong Qi has a good relationship with her because of Qiao Yinan's commission, Rong Qi is not particularly familiar with her medical level.

However, with so many professional equipment available, Joymina’s level should be trustworthy.

Not long after, Joymina hurried to the lounge.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting, Mr. Rong Qi."

"Two seriously injured elves were sent here just now, so it took some time."

Joymina spoke to Rong Qi apologetically, with some fatigue on her face.

"It's okay, I didn't wait too long."

Rong Qi didn't try to figure out other people's thoughts about their work.

Even with Qiao Yinan before, Rong Qi rarely discussed the work of the Elf Center with her.

Just like the resources that heal humans, there are also separations of life and death in the Elf Center, which are even more tragic.

Even the Joey family, who controlled the entire alliance's medical system, could not save all tragedies.

This kind of topic is always particularly heavy and not suitable for conversation between friends.

Because Rong Qi commissioned the Elf Center to conduct physical examinations every month, the two were already very familiar with the process.

After agreeing on a time and paying the deposit, Rong Qi left the Elf Center.

The Pokémon Center was always busy, and even though it was not the season for new trainers to depart, the medical staff at the Pokémon Center did not have much free time.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the benefits and salary packages at the Elf Center are very good.

Much better than normal office workers.

After leaving the Elf Center, Rong Qi was not in a hurry to return to the farm.

He just happened to find an eel rice restaurant on his phone that looked good, so he decided to go and try it.

……

"Hello, your meal has been served. I wish you a pleasant meal."

In a small izakaya-like restaurant, Rong Qi sat in a corner by the window.

Here you can see the pedestrian street outside the window and the stall selling glutinous rice balls opposite.

The golden sunlight danced on a pot of gladiolus outside the pub.

From time to time, passers-by with elves pass by the window.

Or the little girl running with the cat, the young woman with the little Yorkie, the chubby Jigglypuff, the lively and cute Eevee...

It brings a lively atmosphere to the small street which is full of the charm of time.

"Bell~"

A wind chime used her superpowers to carry a few plates and followed a girl in a white apron to deliver Rong Qi's meal.

This wind chime and another magic wall doll that is receiving guests are the elves of the owner of this store, and they also serve as waiters in the store.

Although both are relatively rare psychic-type Pokémon, the qualifications of these two Pokémon are not very good.

One orange and one yellow.

It may not be possible to become a powerful elf.

However, the old couple who run this store probably don't care about these things.

With such a lovely elf around, even the busy and ordinary days should be memorable.

Although Rong Qi was the only one there, he still ordered a lot.

"It's alright, sir. Our restaurant allows elves to come out and dine with our guests."

The proprietress with fine lines at the corners of her eyes spoke kindly in front of the board.

"Elves are our family. As long as they don't disturb other guests' meals, we don't mind."

"Even ghost-type Pokémons are fine."

This couple is particularly fond of elves, and they don't care about even the ghostly elves that symbolize bad luck in the eyes of outsiders.

"Gengar!"

Geng Gui Mingling jumped out from Rong Qi's shadow and bowed politely to the store manager and his wife to express his gratitude.

The store manager and his wife were not frightened by the sudden appearance of Geng Gui Ming Ling.

Instead, after Geng Gui and Ming Ling sat down, they were given two plates of side dishes.

Sweet pickled radish and shredded cabbage mixed with mayonnaise.

Although it was given as a gift, it tasted very good.

The radish has a crisp texture and a sweet and sour taste, without any of the spiciness or astringency of raw radish.

Rong Qi did not taste the shredded cabbage. He did not like eating raw cabbage, even with mayonnaise.

But judging from Mingling's expression, it should taste pretty good.

He picked up the eel in front of him with chopsticks. The fat and sticky eel was paired with two salty and sweet pieces of rice, and then with the plump and chewy rice.

This wave is a great satisfaction for fat and carbohydrates.

In addition to the eel rice that is the favorite of the rice ball-headed kid in a certain science fiction anime, Rong Qi also ordered many other dishes.

Soy sauce chicken wings, beef sukiyaki, wasabi octopus, fried eggplant with meat, butter-roasted scallops, secret roasted meat, salt and pepper grilled shrimp...

Although the portion of each dish is not large, the taste is good. It is really delicious and very suitable for drinking alone late at night.

With Geng Gui Ming Ling around, Rong Qi doesn't have to worry about food wastage at all.

I took a look at the bill handed over by the Magic Wall Doll, which was a bit more expensive than the usual shops.

But the atmosphere has improved a lot, and Rong Qi thinks it is worth it.

"Come back, Mingling."

Geng Gui Mingling's figure returned to Rong Qi's shadow.

I walked out of this small shop with him where elves and humans were dining together.

……

"Mei Lu~"

Meltan stood on the table, his body made of silver-grey metallic liquid began to tremble constantly, and even two tears squeezed out of his golden nut-like head pitifully.

"This is Meltan, the Phantom Spirit of the Steel Type."

Looking at Meltan who was crying pitifully in the middle of the table and turned himself into a silver-gray glutinous rice ball.

There was some curiosity in Mikoli's eyes.

This was the first time he encountered such a young fantasy beast.

As the current league champion, Mikoli's knowledge is naturally unmatched by ordinary people.

Even without the elves he saw in Rongqi Farm, he had encountered some powerful elves while performing missions.

Of course, this also includes some fantasy beasts.

However, this was the first time that Mikoli had seen a little creature like Meltan that could be flicked away with just a finger.

Meilutan trembled and held her nut head, watching Rong Qi and Mikoli staring at her head.

Two large tears dripped from the metal nut.

Trainer! Trainer!

Where are you!

Don’t you want the cute Meltan?

With tears in her eyes, Mirutan looked at Daigo who was sitting on the sofa as if asking for help.

But a certain hard-hearted trainer was currently enjoying the rich aroma of coffee.

It seems that there is no time to look after Meltan.

Anyway, Rong Qi and Mikoli can't hurt Meltan.

There's nothing to worry about.

Daigo tasted the coffee beans that he had sent to him elegantly.

"Don't worry, little one, we won't eat you."

Rong Qi took out a small piece of blue metal and handed it to Meltan. This was the food he had prepared for the unevolved Kodara, and there was still some left.

Just right for feeding Meltan.

Perhaps he sensed the aura of Rong Qi, or perhaps he was attracted by the green metal.

Meltan's body stopped shaking.

Instead, he used his liquid silver-gray body to embrace the metal that Rong Qi handed over.

"I didn't expect that, Daigo, you would have such good luck."

Mikoli said with some emotion.

As a talented trainer whose strength and talent are comparable to Daigo, Mikoli's Milotic is also ready to break through to the master level.

Moreover, Mikoli has the resources of the Alliance and Liuli Gym, so he will definitely not fall behind Daigo.

"Although it is a blessing to capture a mythical beast, it is not so easy for Meltan to evolve into Melmetal."

Rong Qi shook his head.

The steel-type mythical beast Melmetal is indeed very powerful, but it is extremely difficult to evolve from Meltank into Melmetal.

This isn't a game, there's no Meltan candy.

In other words, if you want to evolve into Melmetal, you really need to gather 400 Melmetals.

"It takes four hundred Meltans to evolve into Melmetal. Is this serious about the evolution conditions?"

Even the wealthy Daigo and the knowledgeable Mikoli could not help but feel that it was extremely difficult after hearing the conditions for Meltan's evolution.

This is not the walking grass or green caterpillars that can be seen everywhere on the roadside.

But it is a mythical beast that is extremely rare.

It is rarer than mythical beasts like the Three Sacred Birds.

Where can they find four hundred Meltans?

"Daigo, when you discovered Meltan, was this the only one you found?"

Rong Qi asked Daigo.

The way Meltan was created, it's impossible for there to be only one Meltan.

Even if four hundred Meltans can't be born at once, there won't be only one.

If only one Meltan can be born after the death of each Melmetal.

It will take a long time to successfully evolve a Melmetal.

"There must be some other secrets to the way Meltan evolves into Melmetal that we haven't figured out yet."

Rong Qi stared at Meltan and guessed.

He just didn't believe that a race of mythical beasts would evolve for millions of years and end up becoming extinct.

So what is the meaning of their birth into this world?

Serving as an out-of-season accessory in the elf world.

The kind that only appears once and never appears again.

"Perhaps it is similar to the evolution of the iron dumbbell, capable of self-division."

Daigo also expressed his own views on this.

"It's not impossible."

Rong Qi stared at Meltan thoughtfully.

He had just asked Meltan about this.

But this Meltan has no idea how to evolve.

Perhaps when the time is right, Meltan herself will be able to remember how to evolve into Melmetal.

"Just keep it for now. It doesn't matter if it doesn't evolve."

Daigo rubbed Meltan's nut head.

Anyway, Meltan won't be able to become a champion-level Pokémon in a short time.

Daigo also has no shortage of high-end combat power.

In order to participate in the battle, Meltan's level must at least reach the King level.

At worst, you can just raise it as a companion elf.

Daigo isn't so poor that he can't afford to support a Meltan.

Even if the Meltan could split itself and produce 400 Meltans at once, how much could it eat?

He can even afford to raise 400 Boscodoras.
