Elf: I am really a civilian trainer

Chapter 64 Old Man Qian: Mark is getting more and more outrageous

Old Man Qian ran over angrily, and was relieved to find that Mark had no intention of selling the caterpillar.

After briefly understanding what had happened, Old Man Qian angrily drove the profiteer Niu Xin away.

It is worth mentioning that while driving away the profiteer Niu Xin, Old Man Qian also forcibly demanded 10,000 yuan in mental damage compensation from Niu Xin, on the grounds that if the profiteer Niu Xin did not pay this money, then Niu Xin would not have to come to Qingxi Village to do business in the future.

After driving Niu Xin away, Old Man Qian returned to the village and immediately started cursing at the nearby villagers.

"A bunch of short-sighted people!"

"Fan Laowu, do you think you are being kind to help Mark bargain? You are asking 250 yuan for a green caterpillar. I think you are an idiot. I tell you, even if that fat guy Niu Xin offers 1000 yuan, I won't sell one!"

"Do you know why he paid so much for Mark's green caterpillar?"

"I don't know. I know you don't know!"

"All of you, I told you to study hard, but you didn't listen. Now your children don't study hard and you just study to make your debut in the insect catching competition. As a result, others come to steal your life, and you are still helping others count money. You are really a bunch of idiots!"

"Fan Bai, your dad doesn't have to stand there and be dissatisfied. Didn't you say that what Teacher Sun taught you in school was useless? Tell me why you can't sell the caterpillar to Niu Xin?"

Looking at Old Man Qian, whose face was trembling with anger, the insect catcher Fan Bai shrank his neck and dared not say a word.

Fan Laowu said softly, "Third Uncle, you see, you haven't been deceived, right? And I don't think it's a big deal, there's no need for you to be so angry."

"Don't call me grandpa. I don't have a grandson as stupid as you. It's not a big deal. I'm alive now. If I were dead and saw you idiots, I would be so angry that I would crawl out of my grave.

Mark, you tell these idiots why they should reject the deal with the profiteer Niu Xin.

You just rejected that fat guy Niu Xin, don't tell me you don't know the reason!"

"Forehead……"

Mark, who was slightly dazed, came back to his senses. In fact, he had just been immersed in seeing the fifty-year-old Fan Laowu calling Old Man Qian "Third Grandpa".

Well, he had unknowingly gained a nephew who was in his fifties.

The generational structure in this village is really a bit confusing.

Without thinking too much, Mark took a deep breath and explained to the villagers around him: "If we sell a few green caterpillars to Niu Xin at a high price, it is indeed possible, and we will also make a small profit.

But the green caterpillars around me can be regarded as a small colony of green caterpillars and cannot be sold.

Because after such a stable group of caterpillars settle down, they will regard the place where they live as their home. After evolving into Butterfree in the autumn and flying south to breed offspring, there is a high probability that they will fly back to lay elf eggs.

If managed properly, with the accumulation of these caterpillars over time, it will be possible to become another caterpillar breeding base in a few years.

As far as I know, Qingxi Village is the only caterpillar breeding base near Sanshan Town. If other breeding bases appear, the price of silk in the village will definitely drop sharply."

Old Man Qian glared at Old Man Fan angrily and said, "Do you understand? You are kind enough to help Mark get the price. Do you think you are kind? You are being stupid, very stupid. And you are still laughing beside me. Didn't I say anything about you when I said Old Man Fan?"

Old man Qian cursed loudly with spit flying everywhere, and many villagers who were watching walked away in shame soon, leaving only a woman in a white coat.

The woman was in her thirties and had a queen-like air. Like the school's teacher, Teacher Sun Ting, she was out of tune with the temperament of the entire village and gave people the feeling of a doctor or professor.

Seeing the villagers leave, Old Man Qian's expression changed and he said with a smile: "Manager Meisha, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

Zhao Meisha shook her head and said, "In fact, what happened just now also gave me some insights. I understand why that businessman bought the caterpillars at a high price. It turns out that there is such a science to breeding caterpillars.

This is the Mark you mentioned, right? He seems to be very popular with the elves. If you need him in the future, he can come to the Elf Center to work part-time."

Zhao Meisha gently stroked a few nearby caterpillars with her hands, then walked towards the construction site of the Elf Center.

In fact, the Elf Center will not officially open for another ten days. She came here today just to check the construction progress of the treatment room and laboratory. Unexpectedly, she discovered the commotion in the village, so she came over to take a look.

Looking at Zhao Meisha who was gradually going away, Old Man Qian said: "This is the future director of the Qingxi Village Pokémon Center. Although you are not a formal trainer yet, if you can get along well with her, you can use the equipment and treatments in the Pokémon Center for free.

It is said that he is an outstanding researcher, but I have not yet found out about his specific research projects..."

Old Man Qian wanted to say more, but suddenly he thought of something and stopped.

He walked up to Mark and quickly returned to his angry expression.

Yes, he was still angry about Mark's sudden disappearance. Why did he speak as if he had forgiven this kid Mark?

Mark touched his nose and said, "Uncle San, actually I left that day because something really happened. I felt that something might happen in the forest, and I was a little worried. I actually wanted to wake you up, but I saw that you were sleeping soundly..."

Old Man Qian snorted and said, "Don't call me Third Uncle anymore. Just call me Village Chief like before. I don't have a nephew as troublesome as you."

Mark's mouth twitched slightly: "Uncle San, you..."

In fact, Mark really wanted to call Old Man Qian the village chief directly, but if he said that at this time, Old Man Qian would probably be furious.

Old Man Qian snorted again, and then suddenly realized something. He looked at Mark's shrunken backpack and said, "Where is the Coward's Elf Egg? Don't tell me that you lost the Coward's Elf Egg."

Mark picked up the Poké Ball and said, "I was just about to tell you that the cowardly bug hatched three days ago, and I have already put it in the Poké Ball."

As he spoke, Mark released the coward.

Then, like a flash of white lightning, the cowardly bug quickly and skillfully got into the back of Mark's clothes and started the electric motor mode, shaking continuously because of fear.

"It hatched so early?" Old Man Qian remembered that it would take a few more days for Fatty Li Lei to hatch the elf egg, and then continued: "It is said that cowardly bugs are timid, but I didn't expect them to be so timid. However, this little guy is quite close to you. It is said that most cowardly bugs will be very afraid of their owners after hatching. You have overcome the most difficult hurdle."

Glancing around, Old Man Qian suddenly asked in confusion, "By the way, where is your green caterpillar?"

Normally, Mark, the sensible and smart green caterpillar, should be rubbing against him affectionately at this time.

Mark looked around and saw that there was no one around. He said, "My caterpillar has grown a little bigger. I remembered your warning to me, so I didn't let it out."

Old Man Qian snorted and said unhappily, "You have learned to be low-key, but you haven't learned it thoroughly enough. You know how to hide your caterpillars, so why don't you hide them? Wouldn't it be better for you to bring them back in the middle of the night like you did last time?"

Mark explained: "I actually considered coming back at night, but I thought carefully that caterpillars like this might catch me two or three more times before autumn.

So instead of sneaking around at night and being discovered by the villagers, which would then lead to rumors, it is better to return to the village openly.

After all, it’s only over 10,000 yuan each time, and no one should make things difficult for me because of this income.”

"?"

As Mark explained, Old Man Qian was stunned again.

"...If I heard you correctly, you seemed to be saying, can you catch green caterpillars like this a few more times?"

As he spoke, Old Man Qian looked around and suddenly realized that something was wrong.

——The green caterpillars around Mark are so well behaved.

Mark's caterpillar is clearly in the Poké Ball and there is no leader present, so why are these caterpillars still gathering around Mark?

Besides that, caterpillars are very timid elves. He had just lost his temper nearby, so why didn’t these caterpillars seem to panic at all?

While thinking, Old Man Qian suddenly discovered something and his pupils shrank slightly.

A dozen meters away, there were a few green caterpillars that seemed to have run away, but as Mark waved at them, they actually came back obediently.

Can wild green caterpillars be so obedient?

Even if you hold the caterpillars' favorite food in your hand to tempt them, they won't be so obedient, right?

Chapter 65: The veins of nature, methods to improve the green caterpillar breeding base

Old man Qian stared at Mark again and again, as if he wanted to see through Mark.

As a result, apart from finding that Mark's body was a little stronger, nothing was found to be different from before.

I wanted to ask Mark what was going on with these green caterpillars, but Old Man Qian was still angry at this time. He continued to ask as if he had forgiven Mark. Finally, he snorted again and said, "Don't stand there. Come with me and take these green caterpillars to the caterpillar breeding base. You are such a worrying brat."

Mark gave a wry smile.

It can be seen that Uncle Qian is still very angry about his leaving in the middle of the night some time ago.

As for the reason for being angry, it was naturally because of her concern for him.

After all, if he didn't care about him, he would have just left. There was no need for Old Man Qian to be so angry as he is now.

Thinking of this, Mark did not quibble. He silently led the nearby caterpillars and followed behind Old Man Qian, intending to wait until Old Man Qian's anger subsided before explaining.

Mark didn't notice that Old Man Qian had been secretly observing him on the way, or to be more precise, observing him and the green caterpillar nearby.

As they continued to move along the path in the village, Old Man Qian became more and more certain that Mark had mastered some method to command the swarm of green caterpillars.

This also reminded Old Man Qian of a legendary story that he had banned in Qingxi Village.

Maps, the Bug-type master trainer from over 200 years ago.

Maps had done something similar to Mark back then. He conquered the caterpillars in the forest with his charm and brought back hundreds of caterpillars at one time. He then participated in an insect catching competition and won.

No one knows how Mapes did it, and whenever someone asks, he just smiles.

Old Man Qian suspected that Maps might have awakened special abilities related to his affinity with elves, but at that time the Elf Alliance's determination of special abilities was not yet complete.

So Mapes' abilities have always been a mystery.

Could it be that Mark has awakened a special ability similar to Maps?

In fact, several families with the surname Ma in Qingxi Village are more or less related to Mapus. Of course, they are not direct descendants, but the relatives who are closer to Mapus moved out of the village when Mapus became famous.

But no matter what, Mark's genetic bloodline has a chance to acquire Maps' special abilities.

As for why he repeatedly ordered the villagers not to talk about the legend of Mapus.

The reason is simple. The Bug-type master trainer Mapes, one of the remnants of the old era, had caused some obstacles to Emperor Arthur's founding of the Kingdom of Shia.

The obstacles are neither big nor small.

Although the Kingdom of Shia has been established for more than 150 years, Old Man Qian could not guarantee whether Qingxi Village would be in trouble because of this matter, so he decisively banned anything related to Mapus.

Without thinking too much, Old Man Qian continued to secretly observe Mark, only to find that Mark suddenly stopped in a daze, as if he had discovered something, and suddenly stared in one direction.

Old Man Qian followed Mark's gaze and found nothing.

The place where Mark was staring was an ordinary vegetable garden on the edge of the village. There was nothing in the garden except some potatoes and a few sunflowers.

What on earth is Mark looking at?

In the sight, Mark, who had been standing there in a daze for a while, suddenly moved, walked towards the vegetable garden step by step, stretched out his hands and stroked the air, as if touching something.

Old Man Qian wanted to ask, but after looking at Mark's expression and movements, he gave up disturbing him.

It was not until more than ten minutes later, when the two hundred green caterpillars around were running around uncontrollably, that he patted Mark on the shoulder to interrupt them.

Old Man Qian glared at Mark and said, "Why are you not hurrying on? Why don't you catch up with these green caterpillars?"

Mark was stunned for a moment, nodded, and called on the green caterpillars around him to follow Old Man Qian.

Just as he was heading to the caterpillar breeding base, he suddenly felt a connection, a natural connection related to the Qingxi Forest.
