"Well, it's me."
In the dark night, the young man whose appearance was unclear replied softly.
"Huh...scared me."
Sirona's voice was a bit angry, "Don't be so scary at night, okay?"
"Sorry, I wanted to wait until you finished swimming and took a rest before calling you. By the way, the meal is ready."
The boy's voice was gentler than the evening breeze tonight.
"Oh, okay, here I come."
Sirona seemed a little tired. She gave a short reply and then submerged into the water and swam towards the shore.
Perhaps after staying outside for a while, Xia Chen gradually adapted to night vision.
He saw a black shadow swimming slowly under the pool. The figure swaying under the waves looked like a beautiful and thrilling mermaid.
Wow——
The clear sound of water splashing sounded in his ears, plucking Xia Chen's heartstrings.
Undoubtedly, this was the sound of Sirona coming out of the water.
For some reason, Xia Chen's mood became calmer at this time.
He did not hide his gaze and quietly admired Sirona, who was only half a meter away from him and had just emerged from the water. She was wet and looked as magnificent as a mermaid.
The moonlight tonight is not very bright, but it is perfect for shining on Sirona's charming body.
The style of Sirona's swimsuit is very conservative. It is a one-piece swimsuit with more fabric than Shikushui, but this does not reduce Sirona's charm at all.
Under the clear light, Sirona's cold white skin was scattered with faint fluorescence, as if she was wearing a hazy gauze.
The swimsuit that absorbs enough moisture is extremely close-fitting, emphasizing her flawless and exquisite curves.
Although Sirona's straight and slender legs have nothing to do with the word slender, they show her health from constant exercise.
Going up, the lines suddenly converged. This was Xia Chen's slender waist, which was corroded by the sugar-coated bombs these days, but there was still no trace of fat.
Xia Chen could guarantee that there was definitely a golden curved vest line under the tight-fitting swimsuit, but he didn't dare to verify it.
Looking further up, there is an indescribable area.
Xia Chen's comment on this is... I thought Ming Yi was already invincible. Whose ()() is this?
His gaze climbed over the mountain peaks and came to a snow-white plain. This was the few exposed skin of Sirona's upper body.
First of all, it needs to be explained that Xia Chen is not a clavicle addict, but when those few drops of crystal water playfully slipped from the clavicle...
Xia Chen knew that from now on, he was.
Further up, the wet blond hair draped over the shoulders, the graceful and long neck, the jawline that is clearer than Xia Chen's life plan, the gently pursed, slightly pale red lips...
"Does it look good?"
The thin lips suddenly opened slightly.
"Hmm... looks good."
As if under hypnosis, Xia Chen nodded subconsciously in response.
A gust of cold wind blew by, and he suddenly woke up.
Xia Chen suddenly noticed something. It was such a cold day. Sirona had just come out of the swimming pool. Wasn't she freezing?
"Wait a minute, Sister Zhulan, I'll get you a bath towel!"
No longer interested in admiring the stunning beauty under the moonlight, Xia Chen hurriedly ran into the house to find a clean bath towel.
Looking at Xia Chen's anxious and embarrassed back, Sirona suddenly laughed silently.
…………
After taking a comfortable hot shower, Sirona and Xia Chen went downstairs to eat.
The two of them spent nearly half an hour taking a bath and doing other things.
When they came down, the elves had already finished killing the elves they just killed.
But the two trainers didn't come down, and they were about to have New Year's Eve dinner again. Of course, they didn't dare to continue playing another game or go to the table for dinner. Instead, they shouldered the heavy responsibility of live broadcasting.
In fact, there is no need to do anything deliberately. As long as you show what they are doing when they are eating fish, the audience will be completely satisfied.
These are Sirona's elves. No one would be curious about their appearance outside the arena.
The warm and joyful elf live broadcast ended when Xia Chen and Sirona went downstairs. The two and ten elves crowded the large round table.
Two gentle butlers, Gardevoir and Alureto, poured tree juice drinks for everyone. Everyone raised their glasses together and loudly sent New Year blessings to the mobile phone that was controlled by super powers to broadcast live in mid-air.
"Happy New Year! All your wishes come true! (Buy/Sanai/Fuwu!)"
The world is at this time.
Maybe there is a time difference, maybe some areas don’t have New Year customs, but people from different areas in the live broadcast room are posting the same barrage at this moment.
"Happy New Year! All your wishes come true!"
At the same time, Niannibao, who was placed on the sofa and still in the egg, pressed the extraction button for the last time today.
In more than two months, several entries that have been extracted nearly a million times are rolling again.
Listening to the laughter and fireworks from the outside world, Niannibao had an intuition that this lottery would be a success!
[Name: Niannibao]
[Gender: Female]
[Race: Nianmeilong (Waiting Cui)]
[Characteristics: Magic Mirror (can not be affected by the changing moves used by the opponent and will reflect them.)]
[Characteristic (Special): Almighty Transformation (not unlocked, please find out how to unlock it yourself)]
[Qualifications: Unparalleled (talented and intelligent is no longer enough to describe you. Learning moves, strengthening your body, absorbing energy...all of it, your general understanding is beyond the reach of those geniuses!)]
[Talent: Nature Affinity (the damage you suffer from water, fire, grass, earth, electricity, and ice attribute moves is reduced by 25%, and the damage of such moves you release is increased by 25%)]
[Talent: Body of Steel (When you use steel-type moves, the power is increased by 30%)]
[Qi Luck: I am the destiny (the chosen one? From today on, I am the chosen one and the only one!)]
[Luck (Special): Lucky Stars Shine (Goddess of Luck is smiling, yes, you are the Goddess of Luck!)]
[Click to change your elf life (0/100 available today)]
When the scrolling entries stopped one by one, the sticky tentacles tightened.
Characteristics, qualifications, talents, luck... everything is top-notch!
How could I have such a dream?
In nearly a million draws, the number of times Niannibao has drawn one of the top terms can only be counted on one's fingers, let alone combined them together.
Although Niannianbao doesn't understand probability, she also understands that it is a miracle to gather these top entries.
Her luck was so exaggerated that she even thought she was dreaming.
I tapped the eggshell with my tentacles. The touch was real. So it must be... not a dream, right?
Could it be because Xia Chen shouted something about "all your wishes come true" outside just now?
Although this statement is quite science fiction, the elf life modifier itself is very fantasy...
A negative makes a positive, maybe this is the reason?
Forget it, it doesn't matter, anyway, there is no need to modify such a perfect talent. Next, I just need to wait for it to break out of its shell.
"System, I'm sure this talent will no longer be extracted. When will it be available?"
[Ding ~ Characteristics, qualifications, talents, and luck have been confirmed and cannot be extracted and modified. The host's physical condition is being checked... There are still fifteen days before your best time to break out of the shell! ]
Fifteen days?
Not too long.
Niannibao nodded thoughtfully.
She felt quite excited when she thought that in only fifteen days, she would be able to see her friends who took care of her day and night, as well as Xia Chen, who woke her up from her eternal sleep.
returning a Favour many times more.
In the end, I will stick with my treasure, and I am willing to go through fire and water for Xia Chen!
…………
Xia Chen knew nothing about the world inside the elf egg.
After dinner, with the enthusiastic enticement and rewards from fans, he continued the live broadcast for a few more hours.
Chat with the audience, play cards with the elves, play two-player games with Sirona...
It wasn't until twelve o'clock passed, a complete year passed in the live broadcast room, and 2024 officially arrived, that Xia Chen was ready to go off the air.
"It's going to rain, it's really going to fall. There really won't be a drop left. Stay healthy, brothers. Everyone should welcome the New Year with a new look tomorrow morning!"
Xia Chen yawned and was about to turn off the live broadcast room when the second rich woman on the list gave him another big gift and asked a question.
"[I will always like Fairy Yin Bu] Leave a paid message, Master Pigeon, when will the evolution paper of Ghost Zoroark be released?"
This question, whose answer was not humane to outsiders, had actually been raised before, but Xia Chen strategically chose to ignore it.
But evading all the time was not an option. After thinking about it, he still replied: "Not in the short term, because I deliberately cultivated the evolution of Menas and Fairy Yinbu in that direction. The paper is just a verification of the cultivation process. , but Zoroark... was an accident."
"Perhaps it involves an accident in the distant past in the long history. Frankly speaking, I am a little confused now, but I will try my best to research in this direction. I will tell you the progress as soon as I can reveal it. Probably That's it."
"Okay, it's time to go to bed. Let's go to bed early. See you next time during the live broadcast!"
As soon as Xia Chen finished speaking, a line of subtitles appeared on the screen in the live broadcast room.
[The current live broadcast has ended. It is recommended to watch other exciting live broadcasts. ]
"What the hell, is it being downloaded at the speed of light?"
"8888"
"I hope the next live broadcast will not refer to next year's New Year."
"You bitch, be nice to Sirona!"
In the barrage's reluctant farewell, the nine-hour high-intensity live broadcast finally came to an end.
——————
"Are you going back so early?"
Xia Chen leaned against the door of the guest room and looked at Sirona who was packing her luggage in the room.
Today is the first day of the new year, and he remembered that Sirona said that she would stay until the beginning of the next year.
But he didn't expect to leave on the first day of the year.
Sirona said helplessly: "The emergency call from the alliance, there is nothing we can do. I originally planned to go back after the holiday in a few days..."
Xia Chen snorted and suddenly had some thoughts in his heart.
"Is the situation urgent? Why don't we leave now? Leave your things here for now. There's no rush."
Xia Chen's abacus was about to jump on her face. Sirona was so smart, how could she not react.
She raised her eyebrows and was about to say something joking, but when the words came to her lips, they suddenly became...
"Well...it seems like it's a little too late. I'll leave that thing with you first."
Sirona, who still had three full hours before the flight departed, put down what she was doing and said so.
Xia Chen chuckled, "Okay, then I'll go down and cook you a practice banquet."
After saying that, he turned around and left, leaving no time for Sirona to react.
Sirona looked at the back of the figure who was walking away at a leisurely pace, feeling angry and amused.
But in the end, there was still a touching arc in the corner of his mouth.
I don’t know where he learned this guy’s methods from...
Duolong Mexia, who was floating next to Xia Chen, blinked in confusion. He suddenly felt that his brain was a little insufficient.
Didn’t Sirona leave before she had time to pack her things?
Why do you still have time to stay and eat...
I don't understand.
But how could his little mind understand what it means to be tacitly aware of something, and what it means to see through something without telling it.
Liebite Lu Shark saw Xiao Duolong's confusion, and explained calmly: "If the situation is really urgent, then Sirona will take me back directly, do you understand?"
Doron Mecia blinked again, "So why doesn't she sit with you back?"
Bite the land shark: "..."
This idiot is really hopeless.
…………
Sirona's sudden departure made the house lose half of its life, and Xia Chen suddenly felt a little empty.
But life must go on.
Besides, Xia Chen was used to being alone, so this was just a return to normalcy.
He actually has a lot of things to do after the New Year. In addition to needing to gradually recover after the holiday, Xia Chen also has to deal with some company affairs, including his own meditation training and the daily training of elves.
Sister Jiang Qian has made appointments with Xia Chen for a long time on many of the company's important decisions and strategic goals for the new year. However, because she has been busy during this period, Xia Chen, the hands-off shopkeeper, has been delaying the appointment.
Now that Sirona is gone, time is naturally freed up.
After carefully selecting some gifts, Xia Chen prepared to pay a visit today and wish him happy New Year.
After making a phone call with Jiang Qian to obtain the other party's consent, Xia Chen took a taxi there in the afternoon, carrying the fairy cloth and gift bag.
In less than half an hour, Xia Chen arrived at the door of Jiang Qian's house, which he had not seen for a long time.
When Xia Chen arrived, Jiang Qian and Jiang Han's mother and son happened to come out to greet him.
After not seeing each other for more than half a year, Jiang Qian seemed to have locked his age, his appearance had not changed much and he was still radiant.
The little guy with the devilish trait, Jiang Han, has grown a lot taller.
However, there was no change in his temperament. As soon as they met, he shouted in a weird way: "Happy New Year, Uncle Xia Chen!"
The underage uncle was not angry and handed out a red envelope with a smile.
"Happy New Year, Xiaohan, congratulations on being one year older."
Jiang Han paused for a moment, then happily accepted the red envelope when his mother didn't say anything.
Jiang Qian had a faint smile on her lips, "Happy New Year, boss~"
Xia Chen covered his wallet with feigned vigilance and joked: "Have a happy New Year. I don't have any red envelopes. I came here to ask you for red envelopes."
Jiang Qian nodded with a smile, "Understood, let's go in and talk."
After greetings, Jiang Qian took Xia Chen inside.
In the garden of Jiang Qian's mansion, in addition to the Wind Speed Dog Swamp King and the others that Xia Chen had seen before, there was another Menas in the pool.
Undoubtedly, this is cultivated using the beautiful energy cubes produced by our own company.
When walking through the garden path, Jiang Qian said: "Xiaohan, you play with the Fengsu dogs for a while. Mom has something to talk to your brother Xia Chen."
Jiang Han nodded sensibly, and then ran into the grass to chase the silly dog.
Xia Chen followed Jiang Qian and continued walking inside.
…………
In the living room.
Xia Chen put down the gift he brought and said apologetically: "Sorry, Sister Qian, I have been very busy during this period, including school, competitions and so on. I just came here now."
You'd better be busy with this.
If Jiang Qian had low emotional intelligence, this might be what he said.
But Jiang Qian, who has been in shopping malls for many years and was already a quite successful rich woman before she cooperated with Xia Chen, how could her emotional intelligence be low?
She shook her head with a smile and said: "Understood. And you are the boss, the biggest golden sign of our company. The higher your reputation and status in various fields, the higher the visibility of our company, so although you have been absent, Your contribution to the company is not small."
Tsk tsk, this emotional intelligence is worthy of Sister Qian.
Of course, Xia Chen, who felt very comfortable after being blown away, did not forget to flatter the other party.
"Don't praise me. Sister Qian, you are the biggest contributor to the company's current vigorous development. Also, let's not be so estranged from each other. You can just call me Xiaochen as before."
Jiang Qian simply said: "Okay, I won't beat around the bush then. Let me first report to you the company's financial report for last year."
】
Xia Chen gently stroked the fairy cloth with his hand and listened attentively.
Jiang Qian said seriously: "The company's first product, the Beautiful Energy Cube, was launched on June 6, 2023. As of now, it has been sold in all major regions... The total sales are... And in terms of investment , the investment capital for the construction of the new production line is..."
"On October 30, 2023, the company's second product, Cute Energy Cubes, will be launched..."
"...So, last year's net profit was 3.84 billion alliance coins."
The report lasted for nearly ten minutes, even if it took Xia Chen's mental strength to write it down, Jiang Qian actually said it in one breath without any pause, which shows that his memory is astonishing and he is very familiar with these data. In the heart.
But what surprised Xia Chen more than this was the exaggerated revenue and profits in last year's financial report.
3.84 billion...The product has only been on the market for half a year, excluding various costs and net profits from production line expansion!
Xia Chen remembered reading a piece of news before traveling through time. Apple's profit that year was more than 30 billion, while his own company, which had only been founded for half a year, had almost 4 billion?
It can only be said that the charm of cultivating Meinas at low cost is really great...
Xia Chen is very satisfied with this number, because it means that the "red envelope" he received today, which holds 70% of the shares, is a full 2.688 billion alliance coins!
Although wealth is accumulated over time, this feeling of getting rich overnight...
It’s so cool!
Xia Chen was never a saint. His original goal was to retire early after accumulating a certain amount of strength, money, fame and status.
Right now, one of them seems to be almost a win.
Xia Chen originally thought so, but Jiang Qian's subsequent words forced him to stand up after he was already half-lying down.
"Since the end of last year, competing products have begun to appear on the market. Some of them are products from regular companies and require us to pay patent fees, but most of them are from numerous small workshops..."
"Although the quality of the energy cubes they produce is not as good as ours, the pricing of the products is much lower. Legal measures have been taken, but this alone is definitely not enough. This is the first problem the company must solve this year."
"Secondly, the research and development direction of subsequent products also requires your decision-making. After all, a company structure with a single product is flawed..."
Listening to the questions raised by Sister Qian, Xia Chen rubbed his temples distressedly, and then worked up his energy to chat with Sister Qian.
Although the field of commercial finance is not his interest, he knows that this is the responsibility he should shoulder.
The Beautiful Energy Cube was proposed by himself and the company was founded by himself. It is impossible for Xia Chen to enjoy huge dividends but not bear the responsibility for decision-making.
That is irresponsible for the future you want.
…………
It has to be said that there are many invisible benefits brought by superpowers.
Although Xia Chen has little exposure to the business field, his unusually agile and active thinking allows feasible and efficient ideas to pop out of his mind.
Bind the ugly fish breeding base, or even the company opens its own ugly fish breeding base for bundled sales...
Sponsor many well-known trainers and well-known competitions to continue to increase market visibility and recognition...
Seek cooperation with the official website of the Gorgeous Contest and set your own products as official recommendations...
Reached strategic cooperation with the energy cube giant that will pay patent fees to itself, squeezing the living space of pirated products...
"Finally, as for new products, I need to think about it and I will reply to you after a while. You can first develop it according to the established direction."
After solving all the problems, Xia Chen breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the cup and took a sip of water.
What he didn't notice was that Jiang Qian's beautiful eyes, sitting on the sofa opposite, were already filled with brilliance.
She sighed: "Xiao Chen, if you are not an excellent elf researcher or trainer, you will definitely become an excellent entrepreneur!"
Xia Chen joked: "Am I not one now?"
Jiang Qian smiled and said, "Of course, then, would Mr. Xia be willing to stay for a casual meal?"
She raised her wrist and said, "It's almost seven o'clock now."
Xia Chen raised his eyebrows in surprise. Have they been talking for so long?
I only brought fairy cloth with me when I went out this time, but with Gardevoir, who inherited 70% of his cooking power, I shouldn't have to worry about the elves at home.
So Xia Chen happily responded: "Sorry to trouble you, speaking of which, I haven't tasted Sister Qian's craftsmanship for a long time."
The last time I came to her house was a year and a half ago when I conquered the ugly fish.
Jiang Qian stood up, stretched out and moved his body, which was a little stiff after sitting for a long time, and said with a smile, "Okay, then I'll make a fool of myself in front of you, the chef."
After saying that, she turned and walked into the kitchen.
After that, there was naturally a lot of drinking and drinking, and the host and guest had a great time, and the whole night was silent.
…………
Simulated World·Xicui Area, foothills of Tianguan Mountain.
This is Gardevoir's fourth journey in the new world after opening a new instance.
Although they are both simulated worlds, the Xicui area and the labyrinth world are completely different simulation experiences.
In addition to the different "picture quality" of the world, which makes Gardevoir's every move in this world no different from reality, the bigger difference is the degree of freedom.
In the labyrinth world, she could only be pushed by the plot, but here, it was Gardevoir who was looking for plot points.
Gardevoir, who has conducted three simulations, now roughly understands how to extend the duration of each simulation.
That is to improve your strength, or as the world calls it, to improve your level.
This is what Gardevoir discovered in the second simulation.
After struggling to deal with an axe-cracking mantis that was causing trouble for him, Gardevoir was surprised to find that he had leveled up.
At the same time, things called panels and backpacks were also opened.
Gardevoir, who often plays games with Xianbu Xiachen, knows what this is, and she also saw the information about herself in the world of Xicui on the panel.
The most critical ones are two, level and simulation time.
My initial level is level 36, which should be my energy level in the real world when I entered this new copy.
The available simulation time for each session is six hours.
This time should include the sleep time in this world, otherwise the first simulation will not end suddenly in your sleep.
At present, Gardevoir has found only one way to increase the duration, and that is to upgrade by killing monsters.
After discovering this, she was in no hurry to rush to the pure white frozen soil.
To sharpen your sword and chop wood, the first priority must be to increase the duration of each simulation.
After all, in addition to the current world of Xicui, there are more worlds waiting for you to explore.
Gardevoir understands that the higher his efficiency in the simulator, the faster his strength will improve in the real world.
So in the second and third simulation, Gardevoir focused on finding trouble with other wild elves.
After two simulated "friendly discussions" with the wild elves at the foot of Tianguan Mountain, Gardevoir's level has been raised to level 39, and the duration of each simulation has been increased to six and a half hours.
A simple calculation is to add ten minutes to each level.
It has to be said that this time is a bit short. Originally, it could only be simulated three times a month. However, after adding up the three times, the timeline of Washing Cui World could not be pushed forward by even one day.
However, in the fourth simulation, a surprise came when Gardevoir defeated a very manic, very big, special axe-cracking mantis with a golden body.
…………
[Well done! You successfully pacified the forest king, the Axe-Praying Mantis, and the simulation duration is increased by one hour! Obtain the Jade Insect Slate (fake)! ]
The long-lost system sound rang in his mind, and then Gardevoir found that not only had his level been directly raised by one level, reaching level 40, but the simulation time had also been directly increased by one hour!
One hour... This is a length of time that requires six levels to increase!
The King of the Forest...the big golden special elf...I remember you!
Gardevoir wrote down these characteristics in the small hunting list in his mind.
Not to mention the large amount of experience points provided, the duration alone is enough to make people greedy.
In addition, there is an extra pale green slate in the backpack.
According to the system, this thing is called the Jade Insect Slate... Oh, there is also a label with the word "fake".
What's this?
Gardevoir touched the stone slab that appeared in his consciousness, and immediately, an introduction message appeared.
[Jade Insect Slate (False): According to legend, when the Great Lord of Sinnoh was born, there were eighteen mysterious stone slabs coexisting with him in the universe. These slabs are the energy sources for the eighteen attributes of all elves in the entire universe. Of course, what you can get so easily is definitely not real, but for insect elves, it is also a legendary treasure. 】
hiss--
Is it such a big story?
Gardevoir was extremely surprised.
Even if the system emphasizes that this is not a real stone slab, it must not be a mortal thing if it is stained by the God of Creation.
At least, it's a prop on the same level as the Eye of Emrido that I obtained in the previous world, right?
It's just that the insect-type slate is a bit embarrassing. Let alone myself, Xia Chen doesn't have any elves related to the insect type in his current lineup.
Forget it, just because you don’t have it now doesn’t mean you won’t have it in the future. Let’s save it for now.
Gardevoir was about to close the backpack interface when he suddenly remembered something very important.
"System, this slate is just a prop in the simulated world, can it be brought to the real world?"
This issue is very important. Analyze it yourself. It would be ridiculous if you couldn’t take it out.
[Can. ]
call--
Just two words, but Gardevoir breathed a sigh of relief.
Obviously, there is more than just the Jade Insect Slate in this world. After that, there are super powers, fairies, water, dragons, ghosts... They are all very useful treasures for you and your friends.
After settling his mind, Gardevoir took advantage of the extra time to continue spawning monsters and upgrading.
She is not in a hurry now. Tianguan Mountain is very big. Who knows if there are any special elves that can explode stone slabs and simulate duration like the axe-cracking mantis just now.
…………
Obviously, Gardevoir's luck is not that good, or in other words, there are not that many special elves.
Two hours later, Gardevoir, exhausted both physically and mentally, ended the simulation.
[This simulation is over, the system evaluation is a, please choose your simulation reward. 】
[Option 1: Energy level +1 (No need to look, I will always be here to guard you!)]
[Option 2: Struggle Stone x10 (an advanced prop of the Struggle Stone, which can greatly improve a certain basic ability after use.)]
[Option 3: Swift Move Cheats Fragment (1/3): (The crystallization of the ancient wisdom of the people of Xicui. The moves released through the swift method will be faster than ordinary moves. Of course, the price is lower power. Generally speaking, +30% move release speed, -20% move power or effect)]
Is the long-lost [a] evaluation because of defeating "Forest King Ax Mantis"?
Gardevoir guessed in his mind.
There should be no other reason.
After analyzing the evaluation levels, Gardevoir began to look at the rewards of this simulation.
Energy level, pass, old rules, and dogs are not options.
Although it seems that you can upgrade to level three in one month and reach full level in two years.
But Gardevoir has a hunch that in the future, the dog system may only give an improvement of 0.1 or 0.2.
Level up? It's just a trap.
The second option, Struggle Stone, is a decent reward. If the third reward is not satisfactory, it is a good backup choice.
So, the third reward is... Gardevoir looked at option three, which was always the most special.
Fragment of quick move cheats... This effect is quite good!
UI.
Gardevoir knew very well how important the speed of releasing moves was. Whether it was her meditation speed or the speed of releasing all of Menas' moves, they had gained a considerable advantage in many battles.
Besides... Gardevoir suddenly had a bold idea.
Can swift moves be used together with the emotional energy of the Eye of Emridor?
In this way, the side effect of slower release of emotional energy moves can be completely neutralized.
As for the 20% reduction in the damage or effect of moves, it is not a problem at all with the 1.5 times bonus of emotional energy. It is just a 1.3 times increase.
Isn’t it nice to get a 30% bonus for free prostitution?
However, this is just an idea in my mind, and the actual application will have to wait until it is redeemed.
"By the way, system, after I master this secret, can I teach it to other elves?"
Before making a choice, Gardevoir asked again.
I would never tell you such details without asking the system.
[Can. ]
Those two short words made Gardevoir stop hesitating and make the final choice.
"I choose reward three!"
…………
"Gardevoir, it's snowing today."
As soon as she opened her eyes, she heard a familiar and warm voice. Gardevoir's delicate face instantly burst into a smile. She walked to Xia Chen and enjoyed the snowy scenery outside the window with him.
Although it is the first snowfall of the New Year in Zhijiang, the snow is not that small.
The fluttering snowflakes were falling continuously, covering the ancient city with blue bricks and black tiles in a layer of silver.
"It rarely snows so heavily in Zhijiang..."
Xia Chen opened the window and let the cold wind outside carry the snowflakes in and stick to his face.
In his seventeen years of memory, there were only a few scenes of clearing snow in his yard with his parents.
But now, Xia Chen's small courtyard is already covered in silver.
Xiao Duolong, who has been living on Dragon Island, seems to have seen snow for the first time. He was very excited about this scene and rolled on the snow.
I don’t know how a dragon elf like him can be so impervious to the cold.
Menas was also curled up on the snow. The temperature had dropped sharply in the past few days, and the swimming pool upstairs was frozen. In comparison, it was more comfortable to stay here.
A family of rats nesting in the yard looked at the snow near their home distressedly, thinking about how to complete activities such as going out for food under such circumstances.
These little guys are quite brave. Xia Chen and Gardevoir have been inviting them to come in and eat together, but they have remained unmoved and only accepted the reward for the energy cubes they helped with cleaning last time.
This integrity of not being rewarded for no merit is better than that of most human beings.
"I really don't want to go out in this weather..."
After admiring the snow scene for a while, Xia Chen suddenly sighed.
Gardevoir knew that when Xia Chen said such words, it usually meant that he was going out.
Today is January 5th, what’s up?
Gardevoir thought for a moment and recalled that Xia Chen seemed to have said that Mingyi would be back today.
"Are you going to pick up the plane together? Or are you at home?"
Xia Chen asked the three elves living in the room.
"Buy..."
Senbu shook his head and said that he would go to training later.
Seeing that her friends who joined the team later than her are all trying to catch up with her, as the eldest sister, Senbu believes that she must not only become a spiritual leader, but also stay ahead in terms of strength.
Although this matter is becoming more and more difficult to achieve in the face of the various unique skills possessed by our partners...
But it is precisely because of this that he has to train harder.
"So..."
Zoroark also shook his head. The last time he hunted the intelligent dream monster, he consumed too many soul fragments, and now he had to work hard to replenish the few remaining soul fragments.
After evolving, the last function of the Soul Tree [the power of fear] must also be developed...
Zoroark never stops moving forward.
So, in the end, only Gardevoir, who had just completed the simulation, was willing to accompany the lonely old man Xia Chen out.
