Elf: I am really a civilian trainer

Faced with Mark's disgust, the Caterpillar not only did not stop, but became closer and kept rubbing against Mark's cheek.

A few meters away, the caterpillar leader put down the branch he was holding on his legs and stared at the man and the insect playing together. There was a hint of curiosity and envy in his eyes...

Chapter 41: I asked you to catch green caterpillars to make money. Can you catch more than a hundred at a time? (Part )

Late at night, Qingxi Village.

Under the starlight and bright moonlight, Qian Fugui sat at the wooden table under the eaves.

On the table was a bottle of rice wine, a plate of peanuts, and a half-eaten pie - looking up at the stars.

Many people are not used to this special kind of baked bun with fish head inserted in the dough, but Old Man Qian thinks it is a good dish to eat with wine, especially at this moment.

——The roasted crispy fish gazes at the bright stars in the sky, and it tastes unique.

After taking a sip of rice wine, Old Man Qian looked at Guai Li across the table. The latter looked at the grilled fish head bag handed to him and shook his head, then whooshed back into the Poké Ball.

Old Man Qian shook his head and drank the rice wine in one gulp: "On such a happy day, you won't even drink a few more cups with me."

Seeing the strange force escape back to the Poké Ball, Old Man Qian did not feel disappointed. He took the small fish off the roasted bag, put it into his mouth and chewed it carefully. Then he looked at the heavy black stone pillar in the center of the courtyard and fell into memories.

"Grandpa, oh grandpa, I still can't understand why you choose this kind of life and why you told me to be an ordinary person."

"Having something but choosing not to have it is different from never having it at all..."

"Forget it, let's not say these spoiling words."

"I have good news for you. The construction of the Spirit Center in Qingxi Village has officially started today. They said it will be completed within a month."

"The only thing left is to open a gym. With a gym and a Pokémon Center, Qingxi Village will definitely become better and better. Even if we encounter another chaotic Pokémon wave, we will have some power to protect ourselves and won't end up like we did ten years ago."

"As for the selection of the gym leader, I was initially optimistic about Lin Tong, but both Lin Tong and Qian Erniu have awakened special abilities, so it's probably difficult for them to come back..."

"As for the rest, I had some ideas about this kid Mark some time ago, and I gave him a cowardly bug egg. I thought that he would go to Dr. Locke to submit the cultivation report in three years, so that Dr. Locke could give him some advice. For your sake, Dr. Locke should help."

"But this kid has been missing for ten days... No, including tonight, he has been missing for eleven days..."

Old man Qian poured a glass of wine with some annoyance and drank it all in one gulp.

Mark, this troublesome brat, makes his head hurt every time he thinks of him these days.

It's not good to say that Mark is a bad boy. He is serious about learning and has a unique understanding of elf training. The method of letting the Caterpillar learn mathematics even surprised him. He is also very diligent in training the elves on weekdays.

The green caterpillar that partners with Mark is even more sensible and obedient, and has very good talents, so he has a promising future.

In addition, Mark is very filial. Ever since he became smart, he would bring him some wild fruits every time he came back from the forest.

Overall, there are many advantages.

However, Mark's shortcomings are also obvious.

That means disobedience.

The insect catchers in the village openly talked back to him, but Mark agreed with them on the surface but actually didn't listen at all.

He told Mark to take a proper rest, but Mark agreed and continued to practice diligently. He told Mark to go to school every day, but he chose to study on his own after just one day of school and never went to school again. He told Mark to learn how to make money, but he didn't catch a single wild caterpillar in so many days, which was a waste of his good intention to subsidize half of the cost of the caterpillar's Poké Balls...

Of course, these are not the main points. The main point is that he clearly told Mark to come back often, but this kid has not been seen for eleven days!

Old man Qian rubbed his temple, and in a trance, he seemed to hear the voice of Mark.

"Green Caterpillar, tell them to move more quietly. The village chief may be asleep at this time..."

Old Man Qian frowned and looked at the gate of the courtyard. He saw that the gate was slightly opened and a green caterpillar poked its head in. It was Mark's green caterpillar.

Compared to what I remembered, the caterpillar seemed to have grown a lot bigger.

"Fizz!"

While he was thinking, the green caterpillar had already noticed him, and ran towards him excitedly, rubbing its head against his thigh, looking extremely happy and excited.

“Hiss, hiss, hiss!”

The green caterpillar made continuous sounds and gestured with its legs.

Old Man Qian quickly understood what was going on and said, "You mean, you have learned to count backwards and can write on the ground with a wooden stick. You want to write it for me now?"

"Fizz!"

The Caterpillar was about to find a stick to write numbers on the ground in order to get the Poké Ball funding promised by Old Man Qian, but suddenly he heard the voice of his master coming from behind.

"Green Caterpillar, how can you be so eager to ask for a reward as soon as you meet someone..."

"Humph! What's wrong with asking for a reward? Unlike some elf masters, their elves have worked so hard, but the masters don't care at all. It's okay for others, but you are as strong as a little Kentaro. I don't believe that you can't catch a wild green caterpillar in all these days."

Hearing Mark's voice, Old Man Qian became furious and immediately started to speak in a sarcastic tone.

He lowered his head and touched the Caterpillar's head to comfort it, then he planned to continue speaking and give a good lesson to Mark, who had not been seen for eleven days.

Then, Old Man Qian was stunned.

He rubbed his eyes and looked at the half pot of rice wine left on the table to make sure he didn't drink too much. Then he pinched himself to confirm whether he was hallucinating.

With the help of the bright starlight, he not only saw Mark at the door, but also saw a dozen green caterpillars near Mark.

Moreover, more green caterpillars continued to enter the gate of the courtyard.

The slap in the face came so quickly. He was clearly complaining that Mark was not paying attention to the Poké Balls that the Caterpillars desired and not catching wild Caterpillars to make money. The next second, Mark brought such a large number of wild Caterpillars.

Of course, these are not the main points.

The point is how did this kid Mark do it?

It would be fine if he could catch ten or eight green caterpillars with a net bag, but how come he brought back dozens of them at once?

Moreover, it seems that these caterpillars were not captured by Mark forcibly. They entered the yard one by one on their own initiative. Although it was a bit messy, it generally maintained a certain order.

Soon, as the last green caterpillar entered the yard, Mark closed the gate.

Before Old Man Qian could speak, Mark took the initiative to step forward and said, "I'm sorry, Uncle San, I've troubled you. Actually, the reason why I haven't come back for so many days is because Caterpillar and I have been doing special training in the forest recently, and the effect is quite good, so I haven't been running back and forth between the village and the forest, and I haven't come back yet."

Hearing Mark's words, the caterpillar beside him nodded repeatedly.

"Fizz, fizz!"

The Caterpillar posed and showed off its muscles. It felt that it had made great progress after these practical trainings.

"You just help your master!" Old Man Qian tapped the caterpillar's head gently with his hand, turned his head and looked at Mark: "Forget it, Mark, why did you bring these caterpillars? There should be more than a hundred of them, right?"

Chapter 42: I asked you to catch green caterpillars to make money. Can you catch more than a hundred at a time? (Part )

"The caterpillars and I accidentally encountered a group of caterpillars in the forest. After some contact, these caterpillars were willing to go to the caterpillar breeding base in Qingxi Village, so I brought them back."

Mark replied.

He had already thought of this statement.

He didn't want to deceive Uncle Qian, who had always taken good care of him, nor did he want to expose the territory of the Caterpillar swarm for the time being, so he told the truth while concealing some things.

Old Man Qian glanced at the hundreds of green caterpillars in the yard, then looked at Mark's green caterpillar. He suddenly thought of something and showed a look of realization.

Old Man Qian said thoughtfully: "Although the green caterpillars live in scattered patterns in the forest, sometimes some of them gather together.

Your green caterpillar is tall and strong, so it must have been recognized by these elves as the leader, so they voluntarily followed your green caterpillar to Qingxi Village. It’s just that the probability of this happening is not high, and it’s estimated that you may not succeed once in a hundred times, so you are really lucky..."

Mark nodded slightly.

In fact, Uncle Qian’s guess was not far off.

Uncle Qian just misjudged the number of green caterpillars, thinking that there were only more than a hundred of them. He also guessed the positions of the green caterpillars wrong. Apart from that, there was basically no difference.

His Caterpillars were not recognized as the Caterpillar Leader, but as the Leader's Guards.

As his caterpillars continued to practice combat in the caterpillar territory, due to the change in aura, some caterpillars mistakenly believed that his caterpillars were of the same kind and did not attack them. Also, due to the tall size of the caterpillars, they would regard them as the leader's guards.

The more than one hundred green caterpillars he brought this time are the diehards among them.

They also mistakenly identified the Caterpillars as the leader's guards. Some Caterpillars were able to repent under the instructions of the Caterpillar leader, but there were hundreds of diehard Caterpillars who, even after the Caterpillar leader explained, were still foolishly unable to distinguish the situation, and always believed that their Caterpillars were the leader's guards, and then slacked off in actual combat training.

The more than one hundred green caterpillars that Mark brought back to the village this time are the weaker part of these diehard elements, and he has already obtained the consent of the green caterpillar leader.

The caterpillars living in Qingxi Forest are constantly facing various threats, and these weak caterpillars are more likely to be targeted by bird predators.

Taking these caterpillars to the Qingxi Village caterpillar breeding base where they will have no worries about food and drink is a win-win situation in some ways.

He can earn a little money, and these caterpillars can live a stable life.

In addition, it will also pave the way for his Caterpillar to become the leader of the breeding base in the future.

While Mark was still thinking, Old Man Qian had already walked towards the green caterpillar in the yard.

Compared to their familiarity with Mark, the caterpillars in the yard were obviously wary of Old Man Qian.

Seeing Old Man Qian approaching, most of the caterpillars kept retreating, and two of them even showed stress reactions, hunching their bodies as if their fur had exploded.

If Old Man Qian continues to get closer, the two caterpillars will spray smelly liquid at him just like they do with their bird enemies.

However, this is not the first time that Old Man Qian has faced this situation.

He first took out a handful of powder and sprinkled it around himself to remove his human smell, then took out a piece of feed that looked like a black sausage and handed it to the nearby caterpillar.

Most of the caterpillars would refuse the food handed to them by a stranger, but after one brave caterpillar came over and took a bite, the other caterpillars quickly came over, and soon they all scrambled to eat the food in Old Man Qian's hands.

"The caterpillar is a docile spirit, and has a strong tendency to follow the crowd. If you only bring back a few caterpillars, it would not be easy to deal with them. But with so many caterpillars, it would be much easier."

Old Man Qian explained with a smile while using his palm to touch and press the green caterpillar that came near him.

"You brought these green caterpillars this time, which is not bad. Each one can be sold for about 60 yuan. But since you brought so many at once, I will give you 62 yuan each. These green caterpillars can be sold for nearly yuan."

Mark raised his eyebrows slightly, "Can it be sold for 62 yuan?"

Old Man Qian frowned slightly and said, "I have already specially subsidized you for this price, so don't be ungrateful."

Mark quickly explained: "Uncle San, you misunderstood. I just think the price is a bit high. Didn't you say that according to the quality of the caterpillars, one caterpillar can be exchanged for 35 to 100 yuan? These caterpillars should be relatively small in size."

Old Man Qian suddenly realized, "That's what you don't know. Although the caterpillars you brought are a little smaller, the quality and quantity of the silk threads they spit out are not entirely determined by their size. If the caterpillars you brought have enough feed, the silk threads they spit out should be good."

Mark showed an expression of realization, and the green caterpillar next to him used [Silk Spinning] directly on the ground near Old Man Qian.

After learning from the Caterpillar Leader for the past few days, the Caterpillar's [Silk Spinning] has made some progress.

Although he couldn't spit out a web directly like the Caterpillar leader, he could spit out two silk threads at a time.

Seeing the caterpillar trying hard to show itself, old man Qian smiled and said, "Not bad, not bad. The silk thread you spit out is better than theirs. I estimate that it can be sold for 200 yuan, no, 250 yuan will be enough. Then tomorrow you will go to the caterpillar breeding base with these caterpillars to spin silk on time every day. I will give you good food and drink every day. You can live peacefully in the caterpillar breeding base, and your owner will save time in training you..."
