Elf: I am really a civilian trainer

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand now. You will understand it slowly in the future. The caterpillars are almost done resting. Let's continue to return to the village."

Following Mark's words, the cowardly bug turned into a red light and returned to the Poké Ball. The green caterpillar took the lead and walked to the front of the green caterpillar group. Seeing this, the surrounding green caterpillars quickly followed...

……

……

Qingxi Village, caterpillar breeding base.

Old man Qian dealt with Niu Xin, a profiteer from Sanshan Town, with spit flying all over the place.

Yes, that’s the guy who lowered the price of tomatoes a month ago.

It’s not that Old Man Qian doesn’t want to choose other good businessmen, but Qingxi Village is geographically remote and there are not many businessmen willing to come to trade.

"Brother Qian, the market is really bad recently. You know me well. 231 yuan really can't be any higher. If you don't believe me, go to Sanshan Town or Hake City and ask around. This is the current price of silk."

"Then go collect them somewhere else. You can collect them wherever you want. 255 is still the original price. Not a cent less. Qingxi Village is building a Pokémon Center recently. I have a lot of things to do. Don't bother me anymore."

"Third brother, why are you saying that again? Let me make a concession. How about 232 yuan..."

"Go, go, go, go wherever is cool. The silk in our village won't go bad even if it is kept for a few years. When the price goes up, we will sell it. You can buy it or not." Old Man Qian shouted into the distance, "Lin Erniu, tell this fat guy to stay away from me. He let this guy mess up the feed when testing its sweetness value. He took him half a day to finish it."

Upon seeing this, Lin Erniu immediately trotted over, blocked Niu Xin, and pushed the profiteer Niu Xin out of the breeding base.

The profiteer Niu Xin tried hard to resist, but his body was too weak and Lin Erniu pushed him further and further away.

Then just when Niu Xin was pushed to the gate of the base, a little fat man ran over in a hurry.

"Third Grandfather, Third Grandfather, there are so many green caterpillars. The Mark you've been talking about these days is back. He caught so many green caterpillars. It's amazing!"

The little fat boy Li Lei's face was full of admiration.

You know, the insect catchers in the village would brag about it for days after catching one or two caterpillars.

Mark's feat at this time was simply a dimensionality reduction attack on the insect catchers.

Click!

Old man Qian was stunned for a moment, then he used too much force with his fingers and broke the sugar tester into two pieces.

"What Mark? I don't know him. Lin Erniu, after you push this profiteer out, lock the gate of the base for me. Oh, and lock the gate of my house for me too. Don't hesitate, lock them all..."

Chapter 63 The atmosphere of Qingxi Village

"Third Grandfather, I..."

The timid words of the little fat boy Li Lei brought old man Qian back to reality.

The angry expression on old man Qian disappeared instantly, revealing a kind expression as if bathed in the spring breeze. He rubbed the little fat boy's head and said, "Is it scary? Third Grandfather is either mad at you or suddenly a little angry. You are the best behaved. Did you not understand anything that Teacher Sun said in class today? And how is your cowardly bug elf egg?"

The little fat boy nodded slightly, thinking of something and said, "Third Grandfather, this morning, the egg of the cowardly bug suddenly vibrated a few times. Is it about to hatch?"

Old Man Qian rubbed his stubble and said, "The specific hatching of different elf eggs is somewhat different. Generally speaking, your cowardly bug elf egg will hatch within five days."

The little fat boy jumped twice with excitement, and then he couldn't help but admire him and said, "Third Grandpa, that Mark really brought back a lot of green caterpillars..."

"I told you not to mention that brat I don't even know, why are you still mentioning him?"

Old man Qian glared at the fat boy and rubbed his forehead. He felt extremely annoyed when he thought of that kid Mark.

He clearly told Mark repeatedly not to run around, and told him to go to the tomato garden the next morning to help drive away snakes and get acquainted with the villagers.

As a result, the next morning, Mark was gone, leaving him only a note.

You know, he was already prepared in his heart. Mark was a wild kid, so he thought it would be enough to keep Mark at home for one day.

As a result, Mark didn't even stay for a day and disappeared on the spot.

Actually, it’s okay to disappear.

Mark has survived in the wilderness for many years, so logically he shouldn't be worried, but because of the matter of the pomelo fruit tree, how could he not be worried?

In fact, during the days when Mark disappeared, he took the time to go to Qingxi Forest to look for Mark twice, and asked the forest ranger Akang to help keep an eye on him.

The result was obvious. In the vast forest, Mark was not like an ordinary insect catcher who just wandered around the village. Naturally, he did not find any clues.

Well, it’s not like we didn’t find anything.

He accidentally picked up a yellow armband with a lightning logo, which was owned by the Thunder Group that had been causing a lot of trouble recently.

It would have been fine if he hadn’t seen this thing. After seeing it, Old Man Qian became obviously more worried.

It was precisely because of the above reasons that when Old Man Qian heard the news that Mark had reappeared, he felt relieved, but soon became furious.

Of course, in addition to anger, another emotion appeared in Old Man Qian's heart. He actually felt inexplicably proud and complacent.

After being angry for a while, Old Man Qian suddenly asked, "Great-grandson, the brat you just mentioned who I don't know, you said he brought back a lot of green caterpillars, how many did he bring back this time?"

The little fat boy Li Lei started fiddling with his fingers.

"A lot, a lot!"

The fat boy couldn't count the number, so he opened his arms to gesture.

Old Man Qian asked, "More than a hundred?"

The little fat man nodded repeatedly: "Yeah, more than a hundred!"

Old Man Qian frowned: "More than a hundred green caterpillars again?"

Mark brought back more than a hundred green caterpillars before, which could be explained by luck. Could it be luck that he brought back more than a hundred green caterpillars again this time?

While Old Man Qian was still thinking, the profiteer Niu Xin at the gate of the breeding base seemed to smell something. He narrowed his eyes, suddenly smiled, and trotted towards the west of the village.

After the fat profiteer ran away, Old Man Qian suddenly realized something.

He didn't even care about the fat boy Li Lei next to him, and stood up and chased after the profiteer Niu Xin.

Then, Old Man Qian stopped in front of the gate of the breeding base.

——The door has been locked by Lin Erniu.

Glancing around along the gate fence, he could no longer see Lin Erniu. It was obvious that he had followed his instructions and had quickly gone to lock the gate.

"This idiot, he should have locked the door obediently. Can't he just take his time?"

The corner of Old Man Qian's mouth twitched slightly. He glanced at the sharp wooden spikes above the gate, and then looked at his old arms and legs.

He wanted to use his super strength or flying legs to let the elf carry him over the fence, but he felt that even with the help of the elf, this kind of wall-climbing action was beyond his ability at his current age.

Old Man Qian finally ran to the back door of the breeding base and decided to go out from the back door...

……

……

On the west side of Qingxi Village, as Mark returned to the village with more than 200 green caterpillars, he was soon surrounded by villagers.

The villagers' praise and admiration were beyond Mark's expectations.

From the words of the villagers, Mark heard a rumor.

It seemed that more than two hundred years ago, a powerful bug-type trainer emerged from Qingxi Village. Like him, he also had the feat of capturing a group of caterpillars at one time.

However, as the topic went on, the villagers began to cover it up.

It seemed to be an order from the village chief, Old Man Qian, that the villagers were not allowed to discuss this bug-type trainer from two hundred years ago.

In addition, Mark also heard some villagers' comments about his father Maro, saying that his father Maro was very good at catching insects when he was young and almost won a place in the insect catching competition.

Not long after, several young insect catchers arrived and shouted at him in amazement, saying that he must participate in the Insect Catching Conference in Fallen Leaf Province and become a disciple of Master Mackendi.

More than two hundred green caterpillars made the insect catchers completely forget that they were beaten up by the fool, and they looked at Mark with admiration.

In fact, not only these insect catchers, but also the villagers looked at him with enthusiasm and friendliness.

It's nothing. As Qingxi Village makes its living from the caterpillar textile industry, eight out of ten villagers used to be insect catchers when they were young. Seeing the feat accomplished by Mark, they were naturally full of goodwill.

Mark also learned more about the village's customs from the villagers' words.

Yes, in this village, if one can debut in the Bug Catching Tournament, it is much more glorious than being admitted to the Spirit Academy or joining a gym and becoming an apprentice.

Mark also had more guesses about Old Man Qian's identity.

Although Uncle Qian said that he was an insect catcher when he was young, Old Man Qian took the insect catching competition far less seriously than ordinary villagers.

Mark speculated that Old Man Qian either came to this village to live in seclusion with his elders, or he had traveled to various countries when he was young and was therefore knowledgeable.

Mark was still thinking when he suddenly saw a fat man with a beard running towards him from a distance.

The fat man is in his forties, looks honest and simple, and his eyes look extremely sincere.

"Young man...young man, I finally caught up, let me take a breath...by the way, this is for you first."

Mark took the business card handed over by the fat man. It had the words "Sanshan Town East Suburb Farmers' Market" printed on it, and the name was Niu Xin.

"Mr. Niu Xin, what are you doing?"

Niu Xin panted for a while, took a deep breath and said, "200 yuan each, I want all your green caterpillars!"

The surrounding villagers were in an uproar.

There was no other reason. The price given by Niu Xin was simply too high, far exceeding the purchase price of wild caterpillars at the Qingxi Village caterpillar breeding base.

An elderly villager came over and enthusiastically helped Mark bargain.

The price of 200 yuan was already very high, but unexpectedly Niu Xin further softened his offer, saying that a purchase price of 210 yuan was also possible, and it seemed that there was a possibility of further loosening the offer.

"Little brother, you should be able to see my sincerity. 210 yuan is really a lot."

Niu Xin further persuaded.

Looking at the performance of the villagers around him, he already felt that he had won, but he saw the insect catching boy opposite him shaking his head.

Mark shook his head and said, "Sorry, this is not about money. I only sell these caterpillars to the caterpillar breeding base in Qingxi Village."

"Little brother, you can really think about it again. I'll add another 5 yuan, no, 10 yuan..."

"Don't persuade me anymore. I won't trade with you."

Niu Xin was about to say something else when he suddenly heard an angry shout from behind.

"Mark, you stinky boy, if you dare to sell the green caterpillar to this profiteer, I will have misjudged you..."
