Adventurer of the Elven World

Chapter 96 Fruits
"Hello, Dr. Damu!"

The townspeople who passed by from time to time would greet Dr. Damu, and some would even pull him to chat about household affairs, but at this time, Dr. Damu was not that irritable.

It's just that when those people learned about Xiu's situation, most of them felt a little surprised. This kind of reaction made Xiu feel a little strange.

"I won't go out without you in the future~" Dr. Oki became a little more normal when he walked to a place where there were few people, and said bitterly: "It's better to stay in the laboratory."

Xiu is not surprised that Dr. Oki is an otaku in essence, after all, all research fanatics are like this.

Xiu reckoned that if it wasn't for Dr. Oki who was afraid that he wouldn't know the way, he might have asked him to come out alone to get things.

"Dr. Oki! Here are your things." An old man stood at the door and waved to them.

"Hey!" Dr. Oki responded, and then led Xiu over.

It's a store in town.

Xiu looked at the decoration in the house, it seemed that the old man was just moving out the boxes of goods and setting them up.

"Those are your things, they arrived yesterday." The old man pointed to a big box in the corner and said.

"Xiu, you go and help." Dr. Oki patted Xiu on the shoulder, and then pushed him out.

Xiu was stunned for a moment, and then began to help the old man move things out.

While Dr. Oki was studying his big box.

"When did you come to Zhenxin Town? Why haven't I seen you?" the old man asked while working.

"My name is Xiu, and I'm currently an assistant at the research institute."

"Assistant!" The old man's eyes widened as if he was surprised by something, but he reacted quickly and carefully glanced at Dr. Oki at the side, and then he gradually returned to normal.

Of course, Xiu could see the old man's big reaction, but he didn't ask too much, after all, Dr. Oki was still here.

However, what Xiu can be sure of is that there must be something wrong with the assistant of the Oki Research Institute, and the problem should not be small.

No wonder Xiu felt that something was wrong before, it turned out to be here.

I said why there is only Dr. Oki alone in such a big institute, and why there is a bed in the utility room.

Although Xiu didn't show his face on the surface, he still couldn't help cursing in his heart: Damn~ why is my face so dark, I have problems wherever I go.

It's just that it's useless to think about it now. He has just settled down and hasn't done a single thing he was going to do. If he acts rashly now, it may disrupt his plan.

But this matter must be investigated clearly, exactly what Dr. Oki's assistant represents, and why the old man had such a big reaction when none of the people along the way responded.

There were not many things, and Xiu quickly helped the old man tidy up, but at this time Dr. Oki hadn't cleared things up, so Xiu chatted with the old man.

The old man is called Jiang He, and he was also a trainer when he was young, but it has not been very smooth. He returned to his hometown and opened such a small shop in middle age.

He grew up in Zhenxin Town since he was a child and has been here for almost 50 years. Because of the location problem, his shop will also help some townspeople to collect some express mail.

Because Xiu had been curious about the situation in Zhenxin Town before, the two chatted about this topic.

Then Xiu discovered that the main industry of the residents in the town was selling materials.

No wonder every house is so far apart, and there are various plants growing in the fields above.

Xiu originally thought it was a garden, but unexpectedly it was a medicine field.

Following this question, Xiu asked some information about the tree fruit.

"In fact, there are not many edible fruits in Kandu. Only peaches, blue oranges, and red apples are native species, and they have a positive effect on elves. Most of the other fruits are just ordinary fruits. As for the transplanted varieties There are also, but they are all useful to elves, as part of the material."

"The price difference between the two shouldn't be small, right?"

"It's okay. Ordinary fruits are not expensive, but they can just meet people's needs. Some fruits can only be sold in big cities, because they are all divided according to materials, and there is not much demand in towns."

Xiu also understood what the old man meant, that is to say, ordinary fruits are mainly for human beings, and a large part of the fruits native to Kanto can be accepted by ordinary people at this price.

And some fruits with special functions, that is, tree fruits are sold as materials, and the gap is not usually large, the most prominent of which is the word "price".

When there is no such tree fruit in the local area, the price will be even higher.

When Xiu was in Light Red City, he had seen a lot of berries being sold as materials, but some of the effects didn't match, and the names were very strange, the same berries had several names.

This reminded Xiu of the names of the medicinal materials in his previous life. Many people took the wrong medicine because of this. The consequences may be nothing, but there are serious cases where they will be cold directly.

There is no concept of tree fruit yet. After all, there are many fruits in the wild, but they may not have various effects on elves.

The fruit is a general term for the fruits that play a role in the elves.

Xiu felt that it was necessary to clarify these things.

"That's right, everything has been checked." Dr. Oki got up and put the pen and paper back into his pocket, then turned to them and asked, "What are you talking about?"

"Talk about these fruits." Xiu answered first, then walked to the box and asked, "Shall we move it back now?"

"Hmm~" Dr. Oki nodded, then turned to Jianghe and said, "Let's go back first."

"Okay, okay." The old man smiled and nodded and waved, "Be careful."

Xiu ignored the polite words between the two old men, but bent down and picked up the box.

Not to mention, it's really heavy, and you can feel the shaking inside when you pick it up. There should be a lot of small things.

But the mouth of the box had been sealed, and he didn't know how many things were inside.

Anyway, one thing is certain, that is metal.

…………

"Bring those Petri dishes here." Dr. Oki pointed to the side without raising his head.

"Yes!" Xiu hurriedly picked up the petri dishes, and Xiu could even see the fragments soaked in the unknown liquid.

"What are these fluids, doctor?"

"It's just a liquid containing metal elements." Dr. Oki didn't care about Xiu's question, and replied casually, and then immediately pointed to another place, "Go and start that machine."

"Yes!"

Because Xiu's proposal yesterday was feasible, the experiment on the Flying Mantis was postponed, and the fragments were studied first.

When he knew the fragments were useful, Xiu's first thought was that he didn't collect more.

At that time, he just had a collection addiction attack, took a few big pieces, and didn't care about the other pieces.

It still looks a bit worse now.
