Chapter 265: One Million Words Spreading Flowers~ (8k, 1111 more updates)

The situation of the Tianxing team is not complicated, and it even makes Xia Chen want to complain, at least from Qiu Ming's narrative perspective.

Just as he thought, it was indeed a story about a group of bullied students who became bullies.

In short, at the beginning, the Tianxing Team was formed by a group of students who were bullied on campus. The core members are the five gang bosses today, and the "real boss" in Qiu Ming's mouth.

The reasons why they are bullied are different, but they are not school violence in the physical sense. After all, in a world where elves exist, fighting can basically be replaced by elf battles.

Therefore, most of the forms of bullying they receive include cold violence, exclusion, small group attacks, etc.

The form of expression is probably

"Hey! Little trash, we are going to hold an awesome Elf Battle Party this weekend, and all the famous people will attend. Guess who won't receive the invitation?"

Although it sounds childish, the damage caused by this form is actually no less than physical damage.

People are group animals, and they all have social needs and the need to be respected. For students who are still on campus, if they are squeezed out by the large groups around them, they are likely to fall into loneliness, loss, and even self-doubt.

Not every bully has a strong heart.

Moreover, even if there is one, and one can even resolve himself like a great teacher, the noises and comments coming from time to time around him will still annoy people like flies.

Ever since, under the call of a mysterious man, the Tianxing Team, dedicated to the cause of anti-bullying, was established.

They formulated a detailed plan called "Star Battle" and put it into action. They worked together, united and helped each other, and everyone trained hard for it.

A fire in the dark always attracts people who are also suffering from the cold. As expected, the team of Tianxing Team grows stronger, and the time finally comes for the day of the Battle of Tianxing.

Through special means, they summoned the bullies to the playground and launched a challenge.

After all, the bullies are just a group of weak-hearted guys who try to gain a sense of security through bullying. When they saw this scene, they immediately became scared and cried and apologized.

…………

In fact, when Qiu Ming told the story to this point, Xia Chen still maintained full respect and appreciation for them.

Not all those who were bullied had the courage to unite and fight back, but they did.

Xia Chen did not ask such a retarded question as "Why didn't you sue the teacher?" Although he had never encountered school violence in his previous life, he was well aware of the school's inaction or inability to act on such phenomena.

Therefore, he admired what the Tianxing team did very much, and even felt like reading a cool article, especially the "real boss", or fairy queen, who never showed up but controlled the whole game.

But when the incident was supposed to be over, something unexpected happened.

Although there was no bloodshed or even an elf battle in this "Star Battle", there were too many people involved, and they were still on the playground in full view, so the school officials naturally noticed it.

The former bullies who were forced to cry and apologize were regarded as the bullied by the dean of Orange Academy, and the Tianxing team was naturally regarded as bad students.

Fortunately, Qiu Ming and several other Tianxing team founders were hidden in the crowd and were not discovered.

This is where things started to go wrong. The Tianxing team, which had been united and resourceful, suddenly took a 180-degree turn.

There were so many people who were bullied, and no one was even willing to explain what happened. The dean was also very smart, and he didn't even want to delve deeper.

"Then what?"

Resisting the urge to complain, Xia Chen asked about the ending of the story.

Qiu Ming shook his head and replied: "The five of us are still communicating with the real boss through the mobile phone. It said that we should stop caring about this matter and then disband the Tianxing team. Everything will be fine. Then, it stopped contacting us. Passed us."

He looked up at the sky and said in a nostalgic tone: "In retrospect, it was probably the real boss who took all the blame for us and was expelled from school. And we were unwilling to disband the Tianxing Team because this is the most precious thing between us and it. Treasure, if the real boss comes back, he will be happy to see that the Tianxing Team still exists, right?"

Hmm. She was so happy that she wanted me to dismiss you.

Xia Chen complained secretly in his heart.

Things finally became clear. The real boss, or rather the Fairy Queen, had a very simple idea of ​​establishing the Star Team, which was to fight bullying.

In the end, the battle plan was successful and the goal was achieved. She sacrificed herself and saved her friends.

As for the price, it might be that she took on all the responsibilities and then dropped out of school for a while.

Then when the deadline came, the Fairy Queen returned to Orange Academy, only to find that the Sky Star Team she had formed to fight the bullies had turned out to be the most annoying person she had ever been.

Disappointed, she found Xia Chen and asked him to destroy the demon she had created with her own hands.

…………

Why go to all this trouble? Can't you just stand up and disband the Tianxing team?

Xia Chen was very puzzled by the Fairy Queen's behavior.

Since the bosses of the Tianxing Team love and respect her very much, and their purpose of keeping the Tianxing Team is just to wait for her to come back, isn't it just a matter of the Fairy Queen to disband the Tianxing Team?

What a hypocritical person.

Xia Chen decided to push her behind.

He looked at Qiu Ming, who was still looking up at the sky and remembering the past, and suddenly said: "What if I said... I know your real boss?"

"Really?"

Qiu Ming's tone was instantly high, and the only exposed eye showed obvious excitement.

"Who is it? Where is it? Can you tell me?"

Xia Chen said calmly: "Let all the bosses of you go back to Orange Academy, and I will tell you."

Qiu Ming suddenly became suspicious, "Why do I feel like you are lying to us about going back to school?"

Xia Chen didn't refute, just stated the facts, "How do you think I found this place and know you so well?"

Qiu Ming's body stiffened, as if struck by lightning, and he murmured: "You mean the real boss asked you to come over and disband us?"

Xia Chen shrugged noncommittally, "If you want to pursue the truth, go to school. Everything you want to know is there."

After saying that, he took back the elves, mounted Guluton again, and turned away with Mingyi, who was in a melon-eating state the whole time.

"By the way, I almost forgot."

Xia Chen suddenly turned back and asked politely: "Can I take a photo with you?"

"What?"

Qiu Ming, who was still recalling the conversation with Xia Chen just now, was stunned for a moment, not knowing what he meant.

Xia Chen explained: "I mean, taking a group photo. After all, I told her that I defeated you, and there is no proof, right?"

Tyumen:"."

How can anyone treat a group photo as a trophy? Do I not want to lose face?

Even so, he did not refuse Xia Chen's request in the end.

After the shutter clicked, a photo with the scrapped Skystar team car in the background, two weirdos in ninja costumes and Pikachu hoods was saved in Rotom on the phone.

"If you have thought about it, go to Principal Clavell and he will come to me."

As he said that, Xia Chen looked at the photo he had just taken. He looked as handsome as ever in the image.

Nodding with satisfaction, he simply left the Cexing base without waiting for Qiu Ming's answer.

Qiu Ming glanced at Xia Chen's leaving figure, then looked back at the scrapped Tianxing team car and the demoralized team members, and fell into deep thought.

…………

After the mission was completed, Xia Chen found an open space in the wild to set up camp. He did not rush to find the Fairy Queen first, but called Nemo, whom he had not contacted for a long time.

The call was answered quickly.

"Ha, you are such a busy person that you would take the initiative to contact me? Is there something wrong?"

Nemo looks perpetually energetic, and so does her voice.

Xia Chen did not mince words and said frankly: "There is something about the Tianxing team. I want to ask you if there is such a student who dropped out of school after the incident or left the school for other reasons. This Did you just come back during the semester?”

"You're lucky. I happened to go back to school for something. If I had called earlier, I really couldn't help you. I'll check it for you."

While chattering, the sound of keyboard and mouse came from over there. Nemo is the president of the student union, and she has her own way of doing this kind of thing.

Not long after, this question had an answer.

"Hey, you were right. There really is such a person. Her name is Mudan and she is from Galar. She was a sophomore before she left school. She just returned to school this semester. Is there anything wrong with her?"

Although Nemo was a little nervous, she was still keenly aware of something.

Xia Chen said apologetically: "Sorry, it involves personal privacy. I need to obtain other people's consent before telling you the whole story."

That matter is over. The Fairy Queen, or Peony, has lived a peaceful life. Whether or not to reveal the previous events to the outside world, she must respect her own wishes.

Nemo understood.

There was no more small talk and the two ended the call.

"That Peony is the Fairy Queen and the true boss of the Tianxing Team?"

Nimo lacked a lot of information and couldn't deduce this, but Mingyi was able to deduce it. She couldn't help but ask Xia Chen to confirm the answer.

"Most likely it is."

Xia Chen answered cautiously while sending the photo he just took to the Fairy Queen.

The Fairy Queen responded quickly. In just half a minute, Xia Chen first saw the message that the agreed 20 million had been received, and then received a call from the Fairy Queen.

"Congratulations! One of the five minions of the evil Tianxing Team has been eliminated! Keep up the good work next time!"

Although it was still a processed and indistinguishable mechanical sound, Xia Chen could still hear her joy.

It seems like she really hates the current Tianxing team.

Thinking of this, Xia Chen suddenly said: "If that's the case, why don't you solve it yourself?"

…………

"Hey, what did you say? Why do you want me to solve it myself?"

Xia Chen's sudden sneak attack made the Fairy Queen a little flustered.

"This is a story you started with your own hands, isn't it?"

Xia Chen pierced the last layer of window paper.

"It seems you know everything."

The Fairy Queen understood that Xia Chen should have guessed the truth of that dusty past from Qiu Ming's words.

Her voice was a little low, "I don't know what they think of me, and I don't know how to meet them."

Xia Chen enlightened: "If you are worried about this, I can tell you clearly that they are still grateful to you for rescuing them from the abyss and waiting for you to come back. This is why the Tianxing Team still exists. s reason."

After a long silence, the Fairy Queen said softly: "They rescued themselves."

"So, they are now stuck in another quagmire. Are you willing to lead them out again?"

Xia Chen persuaded.

There was silence on the other end of the phone again.

Xia Chen continued to persuade: "Although I can dismiss them as planned, I think it is more meaningful for you to do this. What do you think?"

After a long time, a voice finally came from the other end of the phone.

"Hmm"

It was not the previous mechanical sound, but a human voice, a girl's nasal sound of sobbing.

"What should I do?"

Xia Chen replied in a deep voice: "I will let them go back to Orange Academy, you just say everything you want to say to them."

".Is it that simple?"

"It's that simple."

Xia Chen smiled, "If you are willing to believe them, that's enough."

"I understand. If they come back, please notify me."

"I will."

"Then, goodbye."

After hanging up the phone, Xia Chen breathed a sigh of relief. The Tianxing team incident should be over here, at least on his side.

The Fairy Queen's commission was completed, and Clavel's favor was repaid.

As for Mudan, Qiu Ming, and Clavel's follow-up, it has little to do with him.

Wait, it seems to be somewhat related. The Fairy Queen promised to clear a sub-base for 20 million, but now there is no follow-up after just one is cleared. Didn't I make a mistake?

Xia Chen slapped his thigh in anger.

Although he was depressed, Xia Chen was not someone who lacked that little money. Moreover, this salary did exceed its own value, and he was unworthy of it.

On the contrary, with one less burden on his shoulders, he can devote himself more to studying the evolution of the wealth-seeking spirit and finding secret seasonings.

…………

After dealing with these things, it was only a little after two o'clock in the afternoon.

Although it didn't take much effort and the elves were not injured, Xia Chen still decided to rest for half a day and set off again tomorrow morning.

Speaking of which, this is the first time camping since coming to Padya. The comfort level is definitely not as good as staying in a hotel, but when traveling, the atmosphere is important.

It was the end of March, the spring breeze brought warmth, and everything revived. The area around the open space Xia Chen chose was full of vitality and lush greenery.

This was near the center of the Marked Forest, where humans often stepped on the ground, so the wild elves nearby did not have much fear or vigilance towards Xia Chen and Ming Yi who were camping here.

Instead, there were a few more friendly elves wandering around, or running over to eat when Xia Chen and his friends were waiting for dinner.

Among them, a fat Tibetan squirrel was the most daring, running over to beg for food before eating.

Its chubby face was full of flattery, especially like the "rich woman, hungry, food" emoticon.

No, if the target was Xia Chen, it should be "rich brother v50".

The fact that this guy looks so fat is related to his shameless spirit.

Xia Chen took out a box of energy cubes and placed it in front of it, and the Tibetan squirrel's chubby face immediately wrinkled with flattering wrinkles.

It was about to reach out to take it, but Xia Chen's hand pressed on the energy cube box.

"If you want it, answer me a question. Is there a money-seeking spirit in this forest? The more you answer, the more you get."

Not only that, he also called out to other elves who were watching nearby.

"You too, if you know anything, you can come to me to exchange for energy cubes, or anything else you want."

As soon as the voice fell, several elves watching around, including Pachirisu, Blue Jay, Orinyu, and Colorful Butterfly, all gathered around and scrambled to report the news they knew.

Two of them even almost quarreled because they were rushing to speak.

No way. This can also be rolled up?

Xia Chen had a headache. After awakening the power of wave guidance, he could hear different meanings in the elves' calls that were no different to ordinary people's ears. Don't mention how noisy it was at this moment.

He interrupted the elves in a hurry, "Stop, stop, stop, come one by one, Zangbao Chinchilla, you go first, just speak directly, I can understand the elves."

…………

Zangbao Chinchilla held his head high and stepped forward and said, "Zhi—— (I have lived in this forest for more than ten years and know at least ten money-seeking spirits. Trust me, you will be right. Hire me. One box of energy cubes a day will be fine.)"

At least ten money-seeking spirits?

Xia Chen's eyes lit up.

Although the money-seeking spirits in the wild may not be as "rich" as those in the city, ten is not a small number.

Moreover, the money-seeking spirits in the wild have existed for a longer time, and the total number of coins may not be as good as those in the city. The number of alienated gold coins may be more.

Just as he was thinking, a voice interrupted Xia Chen's thoughts.

"It's lying. There are not ten money-seeking spirits in the whole forest!"

The Tibetan Chinchilla looked around for the source of the sound and shouted unconvincedly: "Zhi! (Who said I was lying! Why do you say that! I think you are just a nitpicker!)"

This guy must have dealt with humans many times, and even knows the word "nitpicker".

However, the next sentence of "nitpicker" made the Tibetan Chinchilla speechless.

"Because I am a money-seeking spirit."

A coin-carrying man suddenly emerged from the elves.

Well, the real owner is here

The other elves shook their heads regretfully and scattered.

The guys who were rewarded have dedicated themselves to receive the reward, so what chance do they have?

Although the Tibetan Chinchilla's lie was exposed, it still greedily pulled the box of energy cubes in front of it.

After being glared at by Xia Chen with an expressionless look, it ran away in despair.

The lively scene disappeared instantly, and there was only one Suo Cai Ling left in front of Xia Chen who was collecting his reward.

"Ji wow. (You found me, I want coins.)"

This is what the money-seeking spirit said.

"Okay, but I want the gold coins in your treasure chest. I can give you two coins in exchange for one gold coin."

Xia Chen simply agreed and also put forward his own conditions.

This is the exchange rate he has been using when trading with the Suo Cai Lings in Niangguang City. No Suo Cai Ling can refuse this temptation.

For them, there is no difference between coins and gold coins, as long as they can ring, one exchange for two is not a loss.

However, the conditions that were always unfavorable before have faltered today.

Suo Cailing shook his head and refused: "Jiwa? (You want our gold coins? This won't work. The gold coins in our treasure box have to be handed over to the boss.)"

Being rejected by Suo Cailing, Xia Chen was not only not angry, but his eyes became brighter.

This was the first time he saw Suo Cailing who was interested in gold coins. There was definitely something fishy about it!

Xia Chen chuckled, took out a few coins from his pocket, and handed them to Suo Cailing, "Let's discuss it. How about taking me to see your boss?"

Suo Cailing refused righteously, "Wow! (You must have bad intentions, he is my boss, I can't take you there!)"

Xia Chen expressionlessly grabbed another handful of coins and threw them in front of it. The jingling sound was really clear and sweet.

Suo Cailing immediately performed a Sichuan Opera face change.

"Sir, come this way!"

…………

The Imprinted Forest is not big, and even running from one end of the forest to the other would take half an afternoon, so Xia Chen set off immediately while it was still early before sunset.

There is no need to mobilize an army to go find Suo Cailing. He brings his own Suo Cai Ling, Gardevoir who can do space magic, and the "space thug" Niannibao, as well as the fairy cloth to defend himself when encountering dangerous situations. Xia Chen rides on his beloved So Luton set off.

Along the way, Xia Chen inquired about their boss from Suo Cailing.

According to Suo Cailing, their boss is Lao Suo Cailing who has existed in this forest for 20 to 30 years. Everyone calls him Lao Suo.

Lao Suo has a high prestige and has accumulated many treasures. Many elves in the forest have received his favor, and many overlords in the forest have also grown up under his care.

Whenever there is a conflict between Suo Cai Ling and other elves, Lao Suo will step forward to mediate, and the other elves will also give him face.

Therefore, the Suocailings in the Imprinted Forest are willing to respectfully call it the boss.

Lao Suo was not interested in gold coins from the beginning. He started collecting gold coins in the past two months.

From then on, it will start to exchange gold coins with other wealth-seeking spirits in the imprinted forest. Although the reason is unknown, the wealth-seeking spirits will also exchange with it.

"Ji Wow (I have given all the dozen gold coins I have to Lao Suo.)"

Suo Cailing recalled.

"Is that all?"

Xia Chen was a little surprised. Every Suo Cai Ling in the city had twenty or thirty coins.

“Ji Wow (Although this place is very close to Niangguang City, there is not much traffic, and people who come here don’t necessarily bring coins.)”

Suo Cailing explained this.

Xia Chen nodded. If that's the case, then maybe Lao Suo doesn't have as many gold coins as he does?

But he suddenly started collecting gold coins, and it looked like he knew something.

Xia Chen and Suo Cailing were chatting, so Luton was also speeding through the forest.

Although the strength is not there, the momentum and majesty of the legendary elves have not been compromised much. Along the way, Xia Chen did not encounter any provocation or sneak attack by the ferocious elves.

After about half an hour, Xia Chen arrived at Lao Suo's habitat, led by Suo Cailing.

"Jiwa (that's the entrance to the cave.)"

Suo Cailing pointed to the entrance of a black saxapod hole on the rock wall not far away, and jumped from Xia Chen's hand to the ground.

The villain raised his head and said: "Wow! (Give me the promised coins, and don't tell Lao Suo that I brought you here!)"

Xia Chen was speechless. This greedy guy wanted coins but also wanted not to offend anyone.

He used the power of the waveguide to detect the inside of the cave and found that there was indeed a Suo Cai Ling, a treasure box and many bits and pieces. He then handed the coins to Suo Cai Ling as agreed.

Xia Chen was wondering how he was going to bring so many coins back when he saw Suo Cailing taking out a bag from somewhere, stuffing all the coins in it, and then left dragging the bulging bag.

Sure enough, there are always more solutions than difficulties.

Xia Chen smiled and shook his head, ignored it, and walked towards the entrance of the cave with Gu Ledun.

…………

The cave where Suo Cailing lives is very narrow, about the size of a rubber ball. Of all the elves in Xia Chen, only Niannibao can get into it.

The fairy cloth could directly pull out the fortune-seeking spirit or its treasure chest by stretching the silk satin in, but this would be too disgraceful.

Xia Chen shouted directly at the entrance of the cave: "Old Suo, I know about the way Suo Cailing evolves into Saifuhao. Come out and have a chat?"

Xia Chen heard the name Sai Fuhao from Suo Cailing, but Xia Chen didn't know where he knew it.

However, according to the description in the "Local Chronicle of Padia", the golden little man has a good impression of Saifuhao. If he researches the evolution method in the future, it would be a good idea to use this name.

While calling Lao Suo, Xia Chen winked at Gardevoir to prepare her to release the magic space at any time.

If Lao Suo is not decent, then help him be decent.

Perhaps sensing the strong aura pressure of Guledun outside, Lao Suo emerged from the cave decently. He was stooped and looked much older than his own Suo Cailing, which was less than two years old.

Of course elves will grow old and even die, even ghost elves. Otherwise, the number of elves in this world would have exploded long ago.

As for whether the ghost elves will be reincarnated into ghost elves after they die, that is another topic.

Generally speaking, in addition to racial factors, the lifespan of elves is also related to strength. This is also a relatively big proposition in the elf academic community. The specific reason is unknown, but the mainstream view is that it is related to the energy intensity in the elf body.

In short, the money-seeking spirit in front of me looks like an elf that has entered its old age.

It raised its head and glanced at the majestic Gulton first, and then looked at Xia Chen with its hazy eyes: "Young man, what do you want to know, or do you want my gold coins?"

Although Lao Suo's eyes were cloudy and dull, his heart was like a bright mirror.

With Lao Suo being so direct, Xia Chen stopped talking to him, "I read in a book that Suo Cailing also has an evolved form. Maybe it's related to the gold coins in its treasure box. I heard that you are also collecting gold coins. So I’m asking you specifically.”

"That's the case, but I just heard about it."

Suo Cailing nodded cheerfully and said: "Two months ago, I helped a pink elf in the forest that I had never seen before. It looked like Jigglypuff, but was bigger than Jigglypuff, and had braids on his forehead. thing."

Xia Chen nodded thoughtfully. From the description, it seemed to be Roartail, the ancient paradox species of Jigglypuff.

Two months ago, it seems to be the time period shortly after the riots in Area Zero, which is appropriate.

So it was Roaring Tail from ancient times who told Suo Cai Ling how to evolve?

Xia Chen suddenly remembered something, so Luton was also a paradoxical elf from ancient times.

[Why didn't you tell me? ]

Xia Chen said telepathically using the power of the waveguide.

Therefore, Luton said very innocently: "I can't come!" ]

Xia Chen had no choice but, okay, the mythical beast is not a god after all, and it cannot be omniscient or omnipotent.

…………

Over there, Lao Suo continued: "It told me that it was an elf from ancient times. I actually don't care about this, but it said it wanted to repay me and told me how to evolve the Suo Cai Spirit. Collect a thousand Suo Suo. The gold coin of Cai Ling.”

One thousand!

From the time when he conquered Suo Cailing to study the method of evolution until now, Xia Chen finally heard an exact method and an exact number.

No matter whether it is true or not, there is always hope, right?

Lao Suo also thought the same way, "I knew that I didn't have much time left, so I thought about whether I could verify this evolutionary method that I don't know is true before I end my life. But although this forest is small, it can still capture me." Trapped, I have gathered the power of the wealth spirit, and so far I have only collected more than 400 gold coins. I am afraid that I will never see that day. "

It shook its head regretfully and looked at Xia Chen and the young Suo Cailing at his feet, "You are different. You are still young and have powerful companions. The most important thing is that you can travel all over the world, so..."

Does this tone mean that he wants to leave all the inheritance to himself?

Before Xia Chen could be happy, he heard Suo Cailing say: "So can you give me some gold coins? I don't want to die."

Xia Chen: "."

Okay, there’s been so much foreshadowing, so that’s what it means.

He wasn't angry either. Since he was longing for Lao Suo to give him gold coins, how could he be angry with it and ask for it?

Not angry at all, but rejected at all, Xia Chen refused bluntly: "There's not that much, and I won't give it if I have it."

"I see."

Lao Suo sighed, shook his head, then got into the hole and took out his box.

Xia Chen was surprised, "You want to send me off?"

Lao Suo shook his head weakly, "If I don't give it to you, won't you snatch it?"

Xia Chen rolled his eyes, "Do you think I look like that kind of person? Just keep it to yourself."

He really didn't have this idea from the beginning to the end. The exchange of gold coins was a voluntary business behavior between you and me because of the information gap. It was commonly known as picking up leaks, and it was essentially different from robbery.

It's not illegal to steal an elf, but Xia Chen couldn't get over it.

What's more, you can become stronger by evolving, and you can live longer by becoming stronger. Taking away these gold coins will undoubtedly rob Lao Suo of even a trace of his vitality.

Lao Suo's hazy and cloudy eyes showed surprise for the first time, and he said slowly: "You are different from those humans."

Xia Chen shook his head, "Anyway, take care of yourself. We're leaving first. I hope you will be golden when we meet again next time."

The evolution method has been determined, and all that is left is to collect gold coins. Even if you wait for those coins that are not completely alienated to "mature", it is only a matter of time before the Suo Cai Ling evolves.

He was about to ride back to the camp on Guledun, but Suo Cailing at his feet suddenly said, "Can I have a chat with Lao Suo alone?"

Xia Chen lowered his head in surprise, only to see his own Suo Cailing looking at Lao Suo sincerely, "I have a way to get the best of both worlds."

One million words is a milestone.

But my writing mood has not been very good these days, and I rarely post in the group.

There is too much plot in Padya, and some readers said that it is somewhat disconnected from the previous plot. I admit that I am also thinking about how to solve it.

The current idea is to quickly resolve these unpopular and lengthy side quests and finish the Padiya storyline as soon as possible.
