Chapter 341: The Supernatural Incident at the Elf Restaurant in Niangguang City
At one o'clock in the afternoon, in Xia Chen's temporary dormitory.
The three people who had finished the "housewarming party" were chatting on the sofa, while the elves were playing around the house.
Xianbu and Xiaoduolong were more outgoing, and they soon got into trouble with Nemo's elves whom they had just met.
As mentioned before the meal, Nemo was really rude and brought all six of her elves over to enjoy the meal.
Fortunately, the dormitory rented by Clavell was relatively large, otherwise it would not be able to accommodate a dozen elves playing together in the living room.
Nemo is not a trainer specializing in any attribute.
In addition to the electric fighting Babu earth dog, her elves also include the three magical masked cats of the Padiya family, the steel type Tou Tou Yin, the mane rock werewolf in daytime form, and the earth dog that Xia Chen has only seen in this world.
The evolved forms of the dragon brother are Tulong Jiejie and Nianmeilong.
The six elves have eight attributes in total, making him a veritable multi-attribute trainer.
Xia Chen, whose mental power has become increasingly sharp, can now almost judge the strength of an elf by its breath.
As the leader of the Orange Academy, and even the entire youth training community in the Padia region, Nemo's strength is undeniable.
It is roughly estimated that the strongest one, Magical Mask Meow, has the strength of an elite three-star.
In other words, entering this Donghuang Youth Competition is basically a level of random killing.
Of course, this is just talk on paper, after all, Xia Chen also defeated several opponents in the competition who seemed to be many times stronger than him.
Xia Chen increasingly feels that traveling more is the right choice. The ranking competition within Beijing University is almost unchallenging for him nowadays, unless he is ranked in Hu Yang.
But you will get tired of playing the same opponent too many times. New areas mean new adventures, new opponents, and new elves.
Thinking like this, Xia Chen suddenly and inexplicably looked forward to challenging the gang bosses of the Tianxing Team.
…………
"Speaking of which, this semester's [treasure hunt] activity is expected to start next week. The [treasures] you found last semester were the Tuwang and Liangshin Dragon. What is Mingyi's goal this time?"
Nimo seemed to have a feeling for Mingyi that was beyond the care of a senior caring for a junior, so she asked with concern.
"Yes, I want to start trying to challenge the gym."
Mingyi poked his chin with his finger and thought slightly.
"As for the treasure..."
Her eyes glanced somewhere and paused slightly, "I also have a goal, but I can't tell you this."
"Fine."
Nimo's carefree temperament didn't go into detail. She turned around and put her hand on Xia Chen's shoulder, "Xia Chen, where are you?"
Xia Chen calmly took off Nimo's arm and replied: "Me? I'm not a student of your Orange Academy."
Nemo asked patiently, "It doesn't matter. Don't you have something to gain when you travel?"
Xia Chen asked without hesitation: "Isn't the growth and experience of travel itself the greatest gain?"
"Well..."
Nimo nodded frequently with bright eyes, "I see. If you are asked this question by the principal in the future, please use this answer!"
Xia Chen was speechless. It turned out that this guy kept asking why...
The three of them were chatting, and another call came from the Rotom phone.
The Fairy Queen again?
Xia Chen took out his cell phone and looked at it, only to find that the number in the note was Clavell. He was slightly surprised. There was news about Suo Cailing so soon?
After answering the phone, Xia Chen greeted: "Hello, principal."
What came from the other end of the phone was Clavell's questioning voice, "I heard that you were racing on campus this morning on my motorcycle?"
Xia Chen was helpless, "...that's what happened."
Although on a subjective level he did not know the school rules, on an objective level he did speed racing.
"My motorcycle lizard is a bit skinny, please be more patient."
Xia Chen originally thought that the principal would investigate and even take back the Motorized Lizard, but he didn't expect that he would change the topic and actually apologize for the Motorized Lizard.
"Well, thank you for your concern."
Although he knew that this was the principal's way of winning over people's hearts, Xia Chen still felt much more comfortable.
"Also, I heard from Nimo that you also participated in the action of [erasing the stars]. Regardless of success or failure, I would like to express my gratitude to you first. Ms. Yeci, the president of the school, is also very concerned about this matter. If necessary, she
Will help you."
Also kind?
Xia Chen raised his eyebrows. He had done his homework before coming to Padia, and Yeci was the current champion of Padia.
"Okay, then thank you Ci champion."
"One last thing, we have a clue about Suo Cailing."
Clavell knew how to whet his appetite, so Xia Chen only talked about what he cared about most last.
"Well, I'm listening, please speak."
"Several classmates have seen traces of Suo Cai Ling in Niangguang City, but they were in walking form and ran very fast. They had no intention of subduing Suo Cai Ling, so they ignored it."
"I understand, thank you for the clue."
"You're welcome, just call me if you need anything. I wish you a happy trip to the Padia region."
After hanging up the phone, Xia Chen fell into thinking.
Niangguang City...
…………
Although he got clues about Suo Cailing, Xia Chen did not leave for Niangguang City immediately.
Because of its passion for coins, the fortune-seeking spirit will live in crowded places.
Niangguang City is the second largest city in the Padia region, and it is also the city with the most advanced technology and the largest commercial circulation.
Without any special changes, Suo Cai Ling will basically not leave this Feng Shui treasure place. It doesn't make any difference if he goes a few days earlier or a few days later. It is better to spend a few days to prepare well.
Suo Cailing is small in size and very fast, because his characteristic is [escape], especially when he is running away.
When the time comes, it will dig into the manhole covers that can be seen everywhere on the roadside. Where will you go to find it?
So Xia Chen felt that he still had to make a plan to conquer them. If he could outwit them, that would be great.
So, in the next few days, Xia Chen stayed in the dormitory and prepared the plan to conquer Suo Cailing and prepare for the Stardust War.
】
Coupled with daily training, occasional battles and exchanges with Nemo, and other trivial chores, time came to March 6th before we knew it, the day when the Orange Academy [Treasure Hunt] event began.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! On this day, thousands of students will set off from school and go on adventures throughout the Padia region to find their own treasures.
Of course, this activity is not mandatory. There are still some students who will choose to stay in the college to continue studying cultural courses, but they are still in the minority.
Mingyi and Nemo are naturally two of the majority.
Mingyi will start her gym challenge journey from Niangguang City, and "just happens" to be on the same road as Xia Chen, while Nimo is walking west alone. Xia Chen guesses that she is going to challenge Pina.
The three of them said goodbye in the square at the school gate and went their separate ways.
The distance between Zuotai City and Niangguang City is not too far, only two to three hundred kilometers.
Therefore, Xia Chen and Ming Yi did not directly take transportation such as planes or trains, but set off on motorcycle lizards.
It has been more than half a year since I came to the Padya area. Of course, Mingyi followed the custom and tamed a motorcycle lizard as a tool elf.
The Motorcycle Lizard is much easier to use than a motorcycle. Not only can it be ridden on rougher and steeper roads, but the rider can also interact with it to relieve boredom.
Of course, it is not all advantages. The biggest disadvantage of the Motorized Lizard is its high "fuel consumption". It consumes less than half a box of energy cubes per 100 kilometers, which is really not affordable for trainers.
…………
The terrain of the southeastern coastal area of Padiya is mostly plains and hills, with smooth roads all the way.
Therefore, even when they are not in a special hurry, but just stop and go, Xia Chen and Ming Yi are "going to the city in the morning and to the city that never sleeps in the evening".
There is a very strange thing about the world of elves. One way, you are walking in a deserted wilderness with elves densely populated, and the next second, you can see a prosperous city full of high-rise buildings.
This contrast is particularly strong in Niangguang City.
The night fell very early in the early spring in Padea. Before five o'clock, the sky was already dark, but the direction of Nianguang City was completely opposite.
The main tone is blue and white, with neon lights shining on the horizon. Before the sky is completely dark, it forms a scene of the future full of technological style.
This is the richest and most technologically advanced city in the Padia region, Nianguang City.
Walking on the streets of Niangguang City, Xia Chen could clearly see that this place was different from the Miare City he had been to, which had a similar urban style. The cultural atmosphere here was stronger.
It's strange to say that this characteristic should be possessed by Miare City, the capital of Carlos, but it is the city of Nongguang that makes people feel more friendly.
The attentive Xia Chen soon discovered the reason, which was that city promotional posters and videos could be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys, and even on the LED screens on high-rise buildings.
The content is very simple, and the whole process is about a cute and beautiful girl acting cute.
"Everyone, are you ready?"
On the big screen at the bustling street, a cute girl wearing loose clothes, pink-blue hair, and two little magnets that looked like hair accessories suddenly appeared.
"The eye-catching grid catches your eyes, who is telling the story? It's me who is telling the story!"
"Good morning, lunch and night, hello ciao~"
As the girl moves, the little magnet on her head also moves, and the bangs tied into a bow in front of her forehead swing lively, looking very cute.
The content at the end of the video is the lovely Miss Qishu introducing things related to Niangguang City.
The boring content is very easy to absorb due to her energetic voice and cute but not artificial actions.
After watching the video, Xia Chen, who at least stopped for a while, had a rough understanding of the general characteristics of Niangguang City and the attractions available for sightseeing.
…………
"Miss Qishu is very cute. No wonder Niangguang City hired her as its city ambassador. Her lively and cute style goes well with the city."
Ming Yi, who watched the video together, said with emotion.
"Generally, I don't feel as cute as you..."
Xia Chen commented indifferently, then turned around and continued walking forward, seemingly without any nostalgia.
"Hey, really?"
Mingyi followed closely behind. Although he said so, his eyes were full of smiles.
Girls often don't care much about the truth or falsehood of what they say, they just want an attitude.
Xia Chen, who is well aware of this truth, affirmed: "Of course, strange trees are not my type."
However, while saying this, he was flashing the video of Qishu in his mind.
Qishu is so cute, especially her shark teeth, hehehe...
It’s decided, Niangguang Gym, I’m determined to challenge!
Although he thought so, Xia Chen was definitely not in a hurry to directly challenge the gym as he had just arrived.
Strolling in the unique and gorgeous night view of Niangguang City, Xia Chen and Mingyi followed the guidance of Rotom on their mobile phones and went to eat at a well-received local elf restaurant.
Traveling is nothing more than a few things, scenery, food, and encounters.
The Elf Restaurant is naturally not a restaurant that uses elves as ingredients, but a restaurant that specializes in custom-made food for elves that meets their physical needs.
Most of them will be customized according to the attributes of the elves, and some high-end elf restaurants will even be subdivided into individual elves.
Xia Chen's elves were quite special, so he ordered dishes according to their respective attributes.
The location of this restaurant is great, located on the upper floor of Niangguang Tower, the tallest building in Niangguang City.
Through the glass curtain wall next to you, you can easily enjoy the panoramic view of Niangguang City.
It's beautiful and delicious, and the food here is really good. Everyone was very satisfied with their first meal in Niaguang City.
It was rare for Xia Chen to simply enjoy this dinner as a diner instead of a cook.
However, the good mood did not last long. Halfway through the meal, a noise coming from not far away attracted the attention of other people in the restaurant.
Xia Chen, who has keen hearing, was able to discern the full content of the noise.
…………
"Sir, the meal you paid is indeed not enough. You see, the amount you and your mastiff godfather spent was 2,386 elven coins, and we only received 2,000 banknotes..."
The man dressed like a restaurant manager said politely.
The person arguing with him was a tall young man with medium-long yellow-grey hair who was carrying a hiking backpack.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Maybe it is because he has resentment in his heart and he is emotionally excited.
Repeated loudly: "I clearly gave you two thousand and four, of which two thousand are banknotes and four hundred are coins. They were placed in your automatic payment machine!"
Perhaps in order to reflect the advanced technology in Niangguang City, this restaurant does not use the common manual or wizard payment methods. Instead, it has a dedicated robot responsible for ordering, serving, and paying.
Xia Chen, who overheard the gossip, shook his head secretly. Wouldn't it be less troublesome to make online payments...
Hey, this seems to be a good business direction, so I stole the treasure from my previous life and named it Miaomiao Pay.
Nope, this kind of software requires a huge number of users and relationships with banks and alliances, which is cumbersome and difficult, so forget it...
Xia Chen was thinking wildly as the quarrel over there continued.
The manager whispered: "We have checked that machine and there is no damage, so it is unlikely to exist..."
The man with the backpack interrupted loudly, "So you think it's me who skipped the bill, right? I don't lack the four hundred elf coins, I can take out forty thousand or four hundred thousand now. I just want justice!"
Xia Chen secretly complained, my dear, this scene is almost like the six children eating jelly...
"But the fact is, we really didn't receive the four hundred coins..."
The manager's words shocked Xia Chen, and he suddenly thought of something.
The missing coin... Suo Cai Ling?
After thinking for a moment, Xia Chen said to Mingyi, who was feeding the Earth King in front of him: "Mingyi, Xianbu, you eat first, I'll go over there, Gardevoir, Zoroark, come with me."
Although she didn't know why Xia Chen wanted to go there, Ming Yi still nodded, "I understand, you can go."
"Sana~"
"So..."
Gardevoir and Zoroark stood up and followed Xia Chen in the direction of the noise.
…………
"Sir, our restaurant is not short of the four hundred yuan. We just want to ask for your cooperation now..."
"I told you, I have something urgent to do later, and I don't have the time for you to investigate something that is nothing!"
Both of them are civilized people, and they haven't reached the stage of taking action yet, but anyone can feel that the smell of gunpowder in the air is getting stronger.
At this critical moment, a third person intervened.
"Excuse me, I'm eating there."
Xia Chen pointed in the direction of his table and introduced himself.
The manager was full of apologies and immediately said: "Sir, I'm sorry to disturb you and your elf's meal. We promise to solve this problem as soon as possible."
Xia Chen shook his head, "That's not what I meant. I'm just interested in this kind of strange thing. If you don't mind, how about I help you?"
He pointed at Gardevoir and Zoroark behind him, "As you can see, I am a pretty good trainer. The power of the elves may be of some help."
This is not a boast, as elite trainers have a level of strength that most ordinary people cannot achieve in their lifetimes.
Because just the accumulation of resources is a huge waste of money.
The manager nodded and said: "You must have heard it over there just now. If you follow what this gentleman said, the four hundred yuan coin suddenly disappeared, but this gentleman happened to have his back to the surveillance camera when he paid.
Now we can't argue."
Xia Chen nodded in understanding and added: "And this kind of thing has never happened in your store before, and you have also confirmed that the restaurant robot is not malfunctioning?"
The manager reluctantly nodded in agreement.
"Is there a possibility that this customer gave money and the machine did receive only two thousand banknotes, but the four coins were stolen during the transaction?"
The manager frowned and said in confusion: "But the transaction time is very short, who has the ability to succeed without anyone noticing?"
Xia Chen smiled slightly: "Elf, you only need simple hypnosis or the use of energy to deceive a human and a robot. It's easy, right?"
The backpacker also calmed down and joined the discussion, "I did feel a trance at that time, but there was no elf around me during that time, except for my mastiff godfather."
"As long as it is small enough to hide its body, then this elf is also interested in coins..."
Facing the two people's approving glances, Xia Chen paused for a moment and finally said his final conclusion, "For example, Suo Cailing."
Looking at the contemplative looks on the two men's faces, Xia Chen understood that they probably believed his inference almost to the letter.
"You should know that Suo Cai Ling likes to steal coins and is very flexible. If he stays here all the time, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to do business. Just in time, I want to tame a Suo Cai Ling. How about we cooperate?"
Without thinking for too long, the manager nodded and agreed to Xia Chen's proposal.
…………
Since the restaurant manager believed Xia Chen's reasoning, the backpacker was naturally cleared of suspicion.
After all, it is really unrealistic for people who can spend money in such a high-end restaurant to escape the bill for 400 yuan.
In comparison, Suo Cailing stealing the four coins is obviously a more reasonable and more likely scenario.
Because he was in a hurry, he did not participate in the capture of Suo Cailing, but said goodbye and left in advance.
"Thank you for helping me out. My name is Pipa and I am a student at Orange College. How about adding your contact information so we can contact you later?"
The backpacker, or rather Pipa, said this before leaving.
Xia Chen did not refuse his kindness and left his Bogaman number.
What’s interesting is that he also owns a mobile phone called Rotom, which has not yet been launched.
This made Xia Chen couldn't help but doubt Clavel's credibility when he gave him the Rotom cell phone.
Of course, it is more likely that this guy named Piper is not simple either.
In short, after exchanging contact information, Pipa left in a hurry with his mastiff godfather.
Xia Chen was also able to start a plan with the restaurant manager to catch the coin thief.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "After stealing coins, Suo Cai Ling usually puts them in his own treasure box, and his most precious treasure box will definitely be hidden in his habitat, so he should
On the way back to put the coins, or on the way over to continue stealing coins."
The manager nodded in agreement with Xia Chen's analysis.
Although he didn't understand Suo Cailing's habits, since this guest's original goal was to conquer Suo Cailing, his analysis must have been correct, so he nodded and was done.
Xia Chen continued: "So, before Suo Cailing comes back, we have enough time to prepare. The plan is very simple. I will settle the bill with many coins in a while, wait for Suo Cailing to come forward, and then open the magic space, so
It can't escape."
The manager suddenly nodded, fishing for law enforcement, simple but practical.
that is...
"I heard that high-level moves like Magic Space can only be learned by elves at least at the gym level. Where can I find them at this time?"
The manager was a little worried, as the gym-level elves were completely unique.
Although our restaurant receives hundreds of elves every day, we only see a few in a month.
Xia Chen smiled slightly and took Gardevoir, who was standing behind him.
"My Gardevoir does."
The restaurant manager was stunned. This boy who looked less than twenty years old actually already had gym-level strength?
Xia Chen shrugged and did not answer.
…………
Of course, Gardevoir doesn't have a gym level, but this doesn't conflict with her ability to perform magic tricks.
I can meditate and master super powers. Is there anything else that my own elf can't do?
Gardevoir has mastered the Magic Space move for a long time, but it doesn't suit his team, so he hasn't practiced it much.
It's perfect to capture a guy like this who is fast and has the ability to escape.
Xia Chen didn't know how fast the wealth-seeking spirit was. Anyway, it was enough to be faster than the fairy cloth and sticky treasure.
Although it is a bit shameful to do more than take too little, it is all for the sake of research.
Returning to the dining table, Gardevoir and Xia Chen each released their mental power and began to monitor the entire restaurant.
Not long after, a small figure full of ghostly aura appeared in the corner of the restaurant.
Xia Chen and Gardevoir looked at each other and nodded slightly.
