Leisurely daily life in the elf world

Chapter 858

what is this?

Chibana saw the desert dragonfly bring back some blue plants from deep within the ice crevice where they were.

It looks like... a radish?

Blue radish?

What kind of strange species is this?

Qibana reached out and took the radish-like plant from the desert dragonfly's claws.

He held it under his nose and smelled it. Dan Di, who was standing nearby, wanted to stop him, worried that this unfamiliar plant might contain unknown toxins.

Making contact rashly could be dangerous.

Fortunately, although Cibana's behavior was somewhat reckless.

However, he was not harmed.

"This thing does seem to be a radish."

Qibana's voice sounded somewhat doubtful.

It looks like a radish, and its leaves also resemble radish greens.

The color is a bit strange, though.

It looks like a blue carrot, and it's not particularly good-looking.

"Radishes growing in the snow, are they edible?"

Cibana's eyes held a hint of curiosity.

"Desert dragonfly, where did you find this?"

"Woo!"

The desert dragonfly pointed deep into the ice crevice, indicating that it had been found under the snow there.

There's still some snow under the pile over there.

······

"Kacha ~ Kacha ~"

This pickled radish tastes pretty good.

On the bar counter of the open kitchen, Rong Qi sat on a high chair outside the counter, enjoying a small dish of pickled radish with his chopsticks.

The radish cubes taken out of the black earthenware pot have a soft green color, just like freshly picked tea buds.

"Demon~"

It tastes better when eaten with porridge.

"Mr. Mime, the pickled vegetables taste really good this time, and they taste even better with porridge."

Rong Qi slurped up a mouthful of rice porridge and swallowed the pickled vegetables in his mouth.

The Mr. Mime also tasted the pickled vegetables he made.

Although the raw materials looked a bit strange, the taste was absolutely amazing.

"It's a pity there aren't many. We'll have to wait until Blizzard King and the others grow the next batch of carrots."

After finishing a bowl of porridge, Rong Qi put down his chopsticks with some regret.

These pickled vegetables were made from offspring plants of the ice radishes that Rong Qi obtained from the system.

As an excellent system supplier, my system can gather everything related to elves.

For Brother Tongzi, things like iced radishes, which have some value but aren't particularly precious, are just a piece of cake.

Rong Qi happened to think that the food structure of the Snow King and the Ice Nine-Tailed Fox was a bit monotonous.

After the two Pokémon tried the taste of Ice Radish, Ninetales didn't seem to like it much, but Abomasnow did.

Moreover, this thing can grow in icy and snowy environments, which is quite suitable for the Snow King and his crew.

The Ice Nine-Tailed Foxes were not discouraged. Although they didn't like the taste of the Ice Radish, Rong Qi still threw them a roast chicken party.

The fragrant and juicy roast chicken was a feast for the Ice Nine-Tailed Foxes.

Despite being an ice-type creature, Nine-Tails actually enjoys hot food like roast chicken.

"Once the offspring of the ice radish grow, we can make more kinds of side dishes."

Although it can't be eaten as a main meal, it's quite good for seasoning.

Rong Qi has been living a very comfortable life lately. There are no mythical beasts causing trouble, no messy evil organizations, and no NPC missions that require him to save the world.

They were living a very comfortable life.

Even that awful cat bug, Daiki-ri, looks much better now.

Is this the life he should be living?

A farm, a few elves, a few mountains, a house.

And the dizzying numbers on the bank card.

Living a simple life, how wonderful!

"Ring ring~"

It would be even better if no one bothered him.

Rong Qi sighed and put down the jasmine milk tea in his hand.

Jasmine tea is made from jasmine flowers picked from the flower fields of the Heavenly King-level Flower Lady and tender tea buds from the mountain behind the farm.

Only Rong Qi would be so wasteful as to make milk tea with Moo Moo milk.

If tea lovers saw Rong Qi's wasteful behavior, they might even want to strangle him.

Such good tea, you're using it to make milk tea? Just add some tea leaves to taste it, that's all.

This tea must be tasted to be appreciated.

Don't waste things like Rong Qi!

"Chibana?"

Although he was puzzled as to why Qibana would call him, Rong Qi still answered the call from Qibana.

"Rong Qi, do you know a plant that looks like a radish but grows in snowfields?"

Rong Qi glanced at the pickle jar that had just been taken back by the Mr. Mime.

He said it in a tone that showed no sign of anything unusual.

"Yes, I know it, like iced radishes."

"The Snowstorm Horse's favorite food."

"In addition, the side dishes made by chopping and pickling its offal are also very delicious."

Food for the mythical beast Snowstorm Horse.

Is this really what it is?

Qibana was once again surprised by Rong Qi's vast knowledge.

No wonder he's the youngest breeding master in the league; he has such a deep understanding of legendary Pokémon.

But what's with pickling vegetables with frozen radishes?

Is this hard, ice-block-like thing even usable?

On the Crown Snowfield, Qibana secretly had a desert dragonfly cut open an ice radish and boldly tasted it.

Chibana didn't know what it tasted like, but he did get a sense of what it felt like to lick a railing in the snow.

My tongue got stuck to that slice of radish.

With human teeth and digestive system, it would be impossible to digest this thing.

The temperature of this thing is almost the same as dry ice.

Have you found any trace of the Blizzard Horse?

"If possible, could you please keep an eye out for the whereabouts of the Lacecrown King?"

The Lady-Crowned King, a former ruler of the Galar region.

A legendary Grass/Psychic type, possessing healing and blessing powers.

Coincidentally, Grass and Psychic types are also Rong Qi's two strongest attributes.

It's not easy to find a mythical beast with attributes that are so suitable for me.

Rong Qi naturally wanted to try to improve his relationship with Him.

Moreover, it possesses the power of healing and grace.

What will be the effect of the blessing bestowed by this ancient king of Grass and Psychic types?

Rong Qi was genuinely curious.

Of all the Grass-type Legendary Pokémon, Calyrex seems to be the only one.

However, it seems that the Lacecrown can only ride the Blizzard and the Ghost Horse.

Is the Lacecrown still a first-class god without its dark horse or white horse forms?

Rong Qi had never really thought about this question.

Although she was a first-class god in the Galar region, Rong Qi's impression of Rare Crown was not as deep as that of Eterna and the two fairy-type dogs.

Moreover, it seems that Calyrex is no match for Eternatus in its Maximal form.

In its Gigantamax form, Eternatus has an incredibly thick health bar.

Even if I maximized the power of the Grass Domain, I still wouldn't have as much health as Eternatus.

Unless you put yourself in a standoff with Eterna on the farm.

"Crown of Lace?"

"I'll pay attention."

Qibana nodded, then said he would mail some of the ice radishes he brought back from the Crown Snowfield to Rong Qi.

Tell Rong Qi to remember to check his inbox.

"While you're at it, could you also send me some Dynamax mushrooms?"

"I want to make some Giant Soup."

"However, Pokémon cannot Gigantamax after leaving the Galar region."

"It's okay. I wasn't planning on researching Gigantamax anyway. I just wanted to taste some Gigantamax soup."

There are no Eternatus outside of Galar, so Gigantamaxing is not possible.

"Okay, remember to sign for the package."

I picked up the cup and took a sip of jasmine milk tea.

The events in the Galar region did not disrupt Rong Qi's life.

Dynamaxing has too many geographical limitations.

Moreover, compared to Mega Evolution, Dynamax is far less practical than visually appealing.

A Pokémon that can grow to tens of meters tall after Dynamaxing—just hearing about it is eye-catching, isn't it!

With Rong Qi's superpowers, he can maintain Mega Evolution almost without any cost, and he can also unleash several Z-Moves on his Pokémon.

But if it's Dynamax...

It doesn't seem to have much effect on Rong Qi.

Perhaps we should think of other ways to help Venusaur and the others improve their strength.

There are many powerful spirits on the farm.

However, the Pokémon that Rong Qi most often uses and takes out are Venusaur and a few others.

Although recently I've switched to taking out relatively "weaker" Pokémon like Arcanine and Milotic.

However, Rong Qi usually makes sure that he has a Master-level Pokémon with him.

After all, who could predict what might happen to him while he was out?

What if a thousand-year-old vengeful spirit suddenly appears and tries to possess my body in the prime of my life?

It would be a great pity if his beautiful youth were to be taken away by someone else.

Deoxys: Pah! What a shameless trainer.

He even tried to possess someone else's body. Was the Gengar in his shadow and himself just decorations?

Let's set aside whether any human could break through their superpower defenses and affect this guy.

If Rong Qi's soul aura truly changes, the Gengar in his shadow will definitely be able to detect it.

How could a spirit that has caught the eye of the spirit world not be able to solve problems related to the soul?

"What do you need a Dynamax mushroom for? Can humans eat Dynamax soup?"

"Want to try something new? Besides, while humans can't Dynamax, drinking soup shouldn't be a problem."

When asked by Deoxys, Rong Qi revealed his thoughts without reservation.

"Moreover, I also have two pieces that are suspected to be fragments of Wujita's body. I need to find a way to use up the energy inside them."

Rong Qi had considered having his elf use the two meteorite fragments.

Neither the Champion-level Golden Arbok nor the Champion-level Roserade could adapt to the radiation energy inside.

The energy here doesn't seem to be able to directly affect the elves.

Rong Qi then thought of other methods to digest the energy inside.

Although it is uncertain whether these two meteorites are indeed fragments from Muttara's body.

But it must have something to do with him.

I wonder if we can use the Giant Mushroom to absorb the energy from these two meteorites.

Rong Qi had far too many things he didn't understand, and he needed to find a way to use some of them.

"So you'd rather have those things take up a huge warehouse than throw them away?"

"When are you ever going to get rid of this obsession with collecting trash?"

Deochis couldn't help but complain.

There is a warehouse that Rong Qi built specifically for the farm.

Inside were all the failed potions Rong Qi had researched, some failed experimental results, and the "rare treasures" Rong Qi had collected from the United Nations since childhood.

For example, finding stones with pretty patterns in the forest.

Most of these items were referred to as garbage by Deoxys.

In his view, it was something that could be completely thrown away.

“Those are my precious memories, how could I possibly throw them away?”

"You mean that thing that took four pieces of Heavenly King-level materials, could make an entire town faint from the stench, and lingered for dozens of kilometers around for three days and three nights, was a precious memory?"

"Your memories are quite memorable."

"You talk a lot."

"If you keep talking, I'll make you taste the flavor of my precious memories."

Rong Qi spoke to Deochis with a friendly expression.

This guy is really starting to disregard me.

He's this guy's trainer, after all!

Be careful, or you might let him experience what it means to be a trainer's authority!
