"How's it going? Is it going well down there?"
In the milk tea shop, Xia Chen patiently dealt with the deep and shallow scratch marks on Suo Cailing's body and asked.
"Jiwa."
Suo Cailing nodded.
Saying goodbye to friends and the past was indeed a smooth process in terms of results.
"That's good. By the way, where's your treasure chest? How did you get it?"
Xia Chen has always been curious about such strange things.
How could such a small person walk around with such a big treasure box?
Because Suo Cai Ling is rare and particularly cares about his treasure chest, no one really knows about this.
"Jiwa~"
Every ghost-type elf has its own unique way of hiding things. Suo Cailing immediately performed a crotch-picking show for Xia Chen.
A swirling purple-black smoke dispersed, and a treasure chest slightly larger than Suo Cailing's body appeared on the table.
This was the first time Xia Chen saw Suo Cailing's most cherished treasure chest with his own eyes, and he wondered: "Is the treasure chest so big? It can't hold many coins, right?"
This box seems to be full but can only hold a few dozen coins. Logically speaking, this should only be Suo Cailing's "performance" for one month.
"Jiwa!"
Suo Cailing shook his head triumphantly, tipped the box over, and after a clanging sound, at least hundreds of coins continued to fall out of the box.
Xia Chen suddenly realized that it turned out to be a "magic weapon" like the Qiankun Bag, and the ghost elves were indeed magical.
"Hey, why are these coins different colors?"
The sharp-eyed Mingyi discovered dozens of unusual, golden-looking individuals among hundreds of iron coins.
Xia Chen also noticed these gold coins. He looked at Suo Cailing and asked, "Can I see these coins?"
"Jiwa~"
Suo Cailing nodded without hesitation.
Although these coins are its treasures, it is certainly not a problem to show them to your own trainer.
After asking for permission, Xia Chen picked up several coins with different morphological characteristics and observed them.
…………
The first is the most common original elf coin. On the front is "100", the number that marks the denomination, and on the reverse is the flower print of an elf ball. There is nothing special about it.
But the other coins are different. In addition to the same pattern, the overall color of the coins varies from light gold to golden yellow.
It is worth noting that these "gold coins" have one thing in common, that is, the age is usually older than ordinary coins, and the golder the color, the more so.
Obviously, these gold coins gradually evolved from ordinary coins.
Suo Cailing still has the ability to turn iron into gold?
Xia Chen was a little confused and guessed the reason for the formation of these coins.
After accepting the task entrusted by Teacher Mo Lan, Xia Chen also searched for Suo Cailing's information.
However, this elf has no fighting value, nor does it have a cute appearance like Eevee, which is favored by ordinary people. It is also very rare, so there is not much information that can be found online.
Apart from the most basic ones such as appearance and living habits, there is not much information available for reference.
These coins collected by Suo Cailing as treasures are a direction that no one has explored.
But Xia Chen understands that it is often these details that make it easier to find unknown and possible ways of evolution.
"Suo Cailing, do you know what's going on with these discolored coins?"
Instead of just guessing, it would be better to ask the owners of these coins directly, so Xia Chen curiously asked Suo Cailing.
"Jiwa?"
Suo Cailing looked at the gold coins and tilted his head in confusion, as if he didn't know what was going on.
It collects coins only out of the deepest desire in its heart, and is actually not familiar with these coins.
But it was certain that the coins it put in were the most common elf coins, and every time it opened the treasure box and put coins in, the coins on the top were still the most common style.
Under Suo Cailing's dancing gestures and Xianbu's translation, Xia Chen understood the information Suo Cailing had.
"So, could the coin become like this because it has been in the treasure chest for too long?"
Ming Yi put forward the most direct and reasonable guess.
This treasure chest itself has the strange feature that its capacity is much larger than its surface size, and the special feature of alienated coins is not too outrageous.
Xia Chen shrugged, "It does seem like this, but who knows the real situation?"
The most taboo thing in conducting research is to rashly establish a direct connection between two phenomena. Whether it is because of the treasure chest or not, more evidence is needed to confirm.
…………
Xia Chen still didn't know how the gold coins appeared. He thought of another thing, that is, it appeared in the short story in the "Local Chronicles of Padia" that he saw from Teacher Mo Lan before the trip. .
The golden, mysterious elf that was suspected to be the evolved form of Suo Cai Ling.
At that time, Xia Chen and Mo Lan had speculated whether the gold mine would be the key to the evolution of Suo Cai Ling.
It is a special way of evolution to complete evolution in a certain place. The crying mask in the Galar region is a typical example.
Now it seems that there is another possible way of evolution.
For example, when the coins collected by Suo Cailing are converted into gold coins and reach a certain number before they can evolve?
In this way, the way Nasuo Cailing evolves is a very typical evolution of elf props.
This is also a relatively common one in the research and development process of elf evolution.
Like the spiritual cloth of the Night Demon, the beautiful scales of Menas, and the dragon scales of the Thorny Dragon King.
As for whether the Suo Cai Ling evolves through a location like the Galar Crying Mask, or through an item like the Night Demon, Xia Chen doesn't want to get entangled, so he can just try them both.
After thinking for a moment, Xia Chen asked: "Suo Cailing, do you still remember the first time you collected coins?"
"Jiwa?"
Suo Cailing thought for a while and expressed it with two coins.
"Two years?"
Xia Chen guessed.
"Jiwa!"
Suo Cailing nodded affirmatively.
Xia Chen frowned slightly. It took a year to convert dozens of gold coins, and more than half of them were not yet completed. If this is really the condition for evolution and the required number is large, this is not a possibility. Research completed in a short period of time.
unless
Xia Chen's heart suddenly jumped, and following his current train of thought, he had a bold idea.
If all the treasure chests of the wealth-seeking spirits have the ability to mutate coins, can the gold coins of other wealth-seeking spirits become their own evolutionary props?
Utopian dreams lead to no results, but practice brings true knowledge.
…………
Xia Chen felt scared and suddenly asked: "Suocai Ling, do you know where other people of your kind live?"
"Jiwa?"
Although Suo Cailing was confused as to why Xia Chen asked this question, it still nodded.
Niangguang City is so big, so naturally it has more than one wealth-seeking spirit, and it has seen three of them.
Suo Cai Ling is not a kind of social elf, and even has a clear division of their respective territories.
The reason is probably analogous to the fact that everyone who picks up garbage has a designated area. It would be bad if you cross the line and pick up other people's coins.
Suo Cailing also discovered his kind when he was committing crimes across the border.
"Why do you ask this? Do you want to subdue the second wealth-seeking spirit?"
Ming Yi couldn't help expressing her doubts, and Suo Cailing also looked at Xia Chen with concern.
For it, of course, it is best to hope that it is the only Suo Cailing in the team.
Xia Chen shook his head and smiled slightly, "This gold coin may be related to the evolution of Suo Cai Ling. I want to know if there are such gold coins in the treasure chests of other Suo Cai Lings, if so."
"You don't want to snatch Cai Ling's gold coins, do you?"
Mingyi couldn't help but ask.
Although it seems that it is not illegal to snatch the property of wild elves, and it can be done without any prohibition by law, Ming Yi still feels a little weird if he really wants to do this.
Xia Chen didn't see it that way, "Don't forget how Suo Cailing's coins came from. Their behavior is not nobler than mine, right?"
Ming Yi thought for a while, and it seemed that this was also the case. Stealing was not more noble than robbing.
This wave of black and white belongs to yes.
After all, his conscience was still intact, Xia Chen added: "And I don't want more, I just want them to produce alienated gold coins. If they are willing, they will use ordinary coins of the same value as processing fees. If they are not willing, then I will I have no choice but to convince others with virtue.”
Ming Yi rolled her eyes. How could she, who knew Xia Chen very well, not know what "conquering people with virtue" meant.
"Okay, then how do you want to find other wealth-seeking spirits?"
Xia Chen replied: "This is not easy. Follow Suo Cailing to the designated area, and then continue fishing and law enforcement."
He raised his hand and looked at the time. It was early eleven o'clock, almost dinner time.
Xia Chen stretched and said, "Let's go. I won't be cooking for a few days. I just want to taste Padiya's special delicacies."
After putting the coins back into Suo Cailing's treasure chest, the two of them and the elves followed Suo Cailing's guidance and took a ride to a restaurant in the southern district of Nianguang City.
That's where Suo Cai Ling said a similar creature lives.
…………
Xia Chen was worried about the gold coins, but Suo Cailing didn't pay much attention to it.
It is now focusing on the special item in the mall, the forced exerciser.
On the way to the restaurant, Suo Cailing's consciousness entered the props mall interface again.
The first thing is to redeem your points.
"System, evaluate all the assets in my treasure chest and see how many points can be redeemed?"
[Dear host, the assets you currently have converted into points are 287100, do you want to redeem them all? ]
Isn’t it just 300,000 points?
Suo Cailing has never counted his assets. Today, he checked the system and found that it was not as much as he thought.
By the way, the denominations of coins seem to be not only 100, but also 10 yuan.
There was no one-yuan coin, because Suo Cailing didn't like it because it didn't look good enough.
But 280,000 points is enough, if you exclude alienated coins.
After thinking about it, Suo Cailing asked, "Can I only exchange the coins that have not changed?"
The system is very intelligent, and it only takes two seconds before replying: [No problem, the gold coins that have been alienated or are in an alienated state have been automatically classified as "Sou Cai Ling's coins", and the remaining redeemable points are 224,100. ]
Suo Cailing glanced at the balance of points. After a night of breathing, he found that the points had risen to more than 670,000. Adding the existing balance, it was completely enough.
"Then help me exchange all the coins except the alienated gold coins into points."
After having the goal of evolving and becoming stronger, Suo Cailing felt that his desire for coins was greatly reduced now, and the coins he cherished most before were no longer as valuable as points.
[The redemption is successful, your points balance is 895723. ]
“Buy a Force Exerciser.”
[The purchase is successful, do you want to use the forced exerciser (magic version) now? ]
The system prompts made Suo Cailing a little hesitant. This mandatory exercise device only lasts for a hundred days, and it wants to make full use of this time.
But there is little time for training and competition during travel. Now that I turn it on, can I make the most of this exercise device?
But if you use it now, you can immediately add points to your abilities, then upgrade the system, and get more breathing rewards in the long run.
After some thought, it decided to use it.
In addition to the reason just now, Suo Cailing had another consideration.
It's just a prop with 800,000 points. There's no need to worry about it. With the system in place, there will be no shortage of such props in the future.
"Use now."
[Used successfully, you are in forced exercise state. ]
…………
The [forced exercise state] mentioned by the system did not make Suo Cailing feel anything unusual, so he temporarily forgot about the system's warning last night.
Suo Cailing couldn't wait to enter the ability point adding interface and clicked the plus sign behind the speed.
In an instant, a burst of pain that he had never experienced before, like a heart-breaking and bone-gnawing pain, swept over him unexpectedly.
Even it in reality was affected, and its whole body could not stop trembling.
"Suo Cailing, what's wrong with you?"
In the back seat of the taxi, Mingyi noticed Suo Cailing's pain and asked worriedly.
Gardevoir sitting aside said nothing but a healing wave. Under the healing of the pink energy particles containing the power of life, Suo Cailing seemed to feel much better.
Xia Chen, who was sitting in the front row, turned his head when he heard the noise and looked at Suo Cailing who seemed to be suffering from a sudden illness, full of worry.
Although it may be the influence of some mysterious force, it cannot be ruled out that something is really wrong with Suo Cailing's body.
He turned to the driver's seat next to him and said, "Master, change the route and go to the nearest elf center."
The taxi driver was used to this kind of thing and nodded calmly: "Okay."
"Jiwa."
However, the route had not been changed yet, and Suo Cailing, who had recovered slightly, waved his hand and said that he did not need to go to the elf center.
Xia Chen immediately understood that Suo Cailing should know his physical condition and the reason for this sudden situation.
In short, the system has arrived.
It's great, everyone has it except me.
After a moment of emotion, he came back to his senses and looked at the taxi driver apologetically.
"Sorry, master, let's continue to our original destination."
".no problem."
He has come into contact with more customers, and the master is very patient. Compared with the people with intellectual and cognitive disabilities he has actually encountered, customers like Xia Chen are considered good customers.
In response, the vehicle continued to drive towards the designated restaurant.
Back seat.
Xia Chen's reaction made Suo Cailing even more certain that the origin of this Shenhao system was closely related to Xia Chen.
After feeling a little more grateful, it returned to the system interface.
The ability is only increased a little by adding points, and it needs to add all the points of the secondary system as soon as possible.
Because in this way we can push the system to level three as soon as possible and obtain more "breathing wages".
So, my journey of suffering has just begun.
Gritting his teeth, Suo Cailing tensed up his nerves to prepare for the pain.
"System, add more!"
As a result, Suo Cailing, who was in the back seat of the taxi, began to twitch intermittently.
Gardevoir sighed.
This kid won't get some kind of system that makes him stronger through abuse, right?
With this thought in mind, she raised her hand and took another sip of Suo Cai Ling.
The driver, who saw what was happening behind him through the rearview mirror, couldn't help but look at Xia Chen.
"Sir, are you sure you don't want to go to the Elf Center?"
Xia Chen covered his face helplessly: "Well, don't worry about it, this is its hobby."
driver:"."
Whose elf twitches like this every day as a hobby?
If it’s bad, you won’t encounter an elf-torturer, right?
Otherwise, should this car be driven to the police station?
…………
"Thank you for helping us catch the habitual criminal in the restaurant. We will save you your lunch."
After lunch, the restaurant manager's familiar words made Xia Chen think that he had won the infinite moon reading and was back to last night.
In his hand, there was another Suo Cailing that was temporarily put into the elf ball and fell into a coma.
That's right, during lunch, Xia Chen caught another coin thief Suo Cailing by relying on fishing to enforce the law, and by the way gained the friendship of the manager of another high-end restaurant.
However, it is always free of charge. It seems that becoming a "bounty hunter" who specializes in catching money-seeking spirits is also a good choice.
After all, it is not easy to raise two people and a dozen elves. If converted into cash, they can earn tens of thousands a month.
Putting his thoughts away, Xia Chen said goodbye to the restaurant manager and randomly found a nearby hotel.
It was noon, so the room was naturally empty. After a two-hour reservation, Xia Chen and Ming Yi hurriedly entered the room under the ambiguous looks at the hotel front desk, and then began the interrogation work.
With the experience last time, the work this time was much smoother.
There is no use for coercion, inducement, love, or reason.
If you give enough coins, Suo Cailing can immediately "see people accurately".
After some communication, Suo Cailing agreed to complete the transaction at a price of one hundred hundred yuan coins.
In just ten minutes, Xia Chen and Ming Yi hurriedly checked out of the hotel and prepared to go to the lair of the wealth-seeking spirit.
But before leaving, he always felt that the hotel receptionist looked at him a little strangely.
The place where Suo Cailing commits crimes is usually not too far from his lair. Xia Chen and Ming Yi soon arrived at a sewer.
This Suo Cai Ling only had a transaction relationship, and fearing that it would run away, Xia Chen sent three generals, Xiao Duolong, Niannian Bao and his own Suo Cai Ling to follow behind.
Xiao Duolong and the extra-pointed Suo Cailing were both faster than the prisoner of war, so Suo Cailing didn't think twice and led them to his lair, then took out the treasure box and returned to the ground.
Looking at the treasure box of the same style in front of him, Xia Chen rubbed his hands expectantly.
Explode gold coins!
