The energy cube is a kind of candy specially for elves to eat, because it can provide special energy substances, and the shape is generally a cube, so it is called an energy cube, and some places also call it an elf cube.

In addition to being used as a reward for the elves, the main thing is to improve the elves' demeanor. The effectiveness of the blocks depends on the number and type of fruit involved, the skill level of the operator, and the taste preferences of the sprites themselves.

Generally speaking, the color of a block determines its function and taste. It is the same as the classification of tree fruit flavors, sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, astringent correspond to yellow, pink, green, red, blue, these colors also represent the strength, cuteness, intelligence, handsomeness and beauty of the elf.

However, it is best not to deliberately feed the corresponding block in order to improve the elf's demeanor. Because elves have different personalities and tastes, the ones that suit them are the best.

The relationship between the Pokémon personalities and tastes mentioned here is actually slowly summarized by countless trainers, although it cannot represent all elves, and it is not much different. Just as humans always have their favorite food, but it doesn't mean that they only like this one, elves are no different.

For example, Sora's Ibunana, who has a cheerful personality and likes sweetness the most, always rewards her with pink energy cubes, but she will not refuse other foods as long as they are delicious. At present, there is no elf who does not like to eat cubes, as long as the taste is suitable, the elf will remember the taste after eating it once, and the trainer should control the amount.

In addition, experienced and observant trainers can judge the character of the elves based on their actions and feed them the corresponding blocks. This ability is useful both in capture and in combat. Kamio Kazuhei can easily do this, this is the ability he has long observed the mastery of the elves, and of course he has also taught Sora, but due to the lack of practice goals, Sora can only be regarded as an average mastery, far from reaching the point of seeing through it at a glance.

The room where the fruit mixer was placed was the same one that Nana had come out of with her two little henchmen, at the end of the hallway.

The greedy Eevee must have smelled the lingering scent in the room before running over. As for the other two, Sora deduced that they had not lived with humans for a long time, and only remembered that every time someone entered this room, they would be given good food, so he subconsciously thought that this room was a place to store food.

As she walked past the staircase, Suzuko Kamio shouted to the second floor, "Nana, can you help me get a few tree fruits from the locker?" We're going to make energy cubes. ”

"Okay, senpai." Nana Sato's signature treble was immediately heard from the second floor.

While Sister Nana went to get the tree fruit, Kamio's mother explained to Xiaomao the method of the energy cube, and Sora followed through the whole process.

The fruit mixer looks a bit like a juicer installed on a microwave oven, the base is boxy, there are some knobs to adjust the temperature and time, and there is a total of four red buttons on one side, which is used to control the speed, and the side where the turntable pointer in the middle turns to be quickly pressed, the faster the response, the faster the speed, and the better the block will be made.

After a while, Nana walked in with the cleaned tree fruit, and the two research institute pets followed behind.

This made Sora sigh again, no matter what kind of Pokémon it was, it couldn't resist the temptation of the energy cube.

Nana was also left behind after putting down the tree fruit, and the four of them controlled the tree fruit mixer at the same time to make a block that would be in better condition.

Sora took out the lemon fruit that she had given her in the morning, and Nana, who saw it, immediately found out.

"Isn't this lemon fruit, which is rare in Guandu. Where did you get it from? ”

"I don't know what my mother gave me in the morning. There shouldn't be any fruit trees around here. Sora said and set the fruit aside.

Seeing that everyone was ready, Shenwei opened the lid of the mixer and asked, "Sora, what flavor do you want to do first?" ”

Kamio thought for a moment and said, "Let's make it sweet first, then make it sour, and then we'll talk about the rest when the time comes." ”

Sweet and sour are the types of cubes that Kamio makes the most, and this is to cope with two foodies, Eevee and Hitaka. Fortunately, the tree fruits required to make these two blocks are relatively common, and they are also the most abundant on the market.

So, the god tail bell first put in four pink tree fruits, and I didn't look closely, if nothing else, it should be a peach fruit or something.

When the switch is pressed empty, the pointer in the center of the mixer slowly turns.

"Xiaomao, if it's your turn, press the button immediately." Mother Kamio reminded.

"I—I'll take care of it." Xiao Mao stared at the pointer, a little nervous.

It's a little funny to see him cautiously. As a result, when it was his turn, he almost missed it.

Several people pressed the button in turn, and the pointer turned faster and faster, and this is the time to really test the technique. The room fell silent as everyone stared at the turntable in front of them. Only the three elves on the side ran around, looking at everyone curiously.

With three short "beeps", he wiped the sweat that did not exist on his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, I am still quite nervous, especially after the speed becomes faster, which is a good exercise for concentration.

However, the energy cube is not finished here, just crushing the tree fruit and squeezing it into juice and mixing it together. In order for it to become a gelatinous energy cube, it is necessary to add starch, pectin and other raw materials, and then adjust the temperature and time to wait for it to finally take shape. Depending on the elven taste, honey, nuts, and even some herbs can be added to it. In addition to condiments, it is generally not recommended to add herbs indiscriminately, which may cause symptoms such as elf diarrhea and poisoning.

There are also recipes for making energy cubes, which are very precious, and generally come from families that have been passed down for many years or institutions that specialize in elf food, and the high-quality energy cubes sold on the market are often made according to these recipes.

You can try it casually, and you can judge the quality of the block based on the color anyway. The worst is black, which may be poisoned instead of being useless; The more common ones are the five-color squares mentioned earlier, which enhance the attitude of a single instrument; The best is gold, which can improve two or three postures, and the shipment rate is outrageously low, so it should be a recipe. On top of it are the legendary rainbow squares. It is said that as long as this kind of cube spirit is eaten once, all kinds of demeanor will be greatly improved, and the disadvantage is that there will be no obvious preference for any taste in the future.

80 degrees Celsius, 2 minutes, set the temperature and time, and wait quietly for the finished product to appear.

Nana jumped on her empty leg again, her big tail wagging incessantly, and she looked very excited. She could already smell the growing aroma of the tree fruit mixer, her favorite taste.

After two minutes, the mixer spat out more than twenty pink energy cubes one after another. Sora picked up a piece, and the freshly baked energy cube had a little residual warmth, and it looked like a gummy candy when pinched. This time, the color is very good, almost transparent, indicating that it has few impurities and is extremely pure.

If you put only one color of fruit in it, the block will only have one color. If you put different tree fruits, there will be a lot of uncertainty in the blocks made, and unless there is a unique recipe, it will not be as good as the former in terms of taste and effect.

As soon as the energy cube came out, Nana couldn't wait to lean her head over, opened her mouth to bite, and was pulled by the empty tail. Just kidding, it's dinner later, and you still want cubes? No way!

Sora and Nana are entangled here, and on the other side, Kamio Suzu has already put the cube into the box, and has removed the turntable and cleaned it again, otherwise it will affect the next time it is made.

Nana saw that the energy cubes were gone, and lowered her head in disappointment.

"What's the hurry, it's not all yours." Sora touched Eevee's head, said angrily, and then fed her the piece in his hand.

Hearing this, Eevee became happy again, "Ahhhh

After that, everyone made a pink square, two yellow squares, and by the way, used up the empty lemon fruit, which is not suitable for a long time, and it is best to eat it as soon as possible.

Sora felt that it was almost there, so he asked Nana and Xiaomao, "Do you have any cubes you want to make?" ”

Xiao Mao thought about it and shook his head. The two elves he currently has, the Flying Mantis has a frank personality and the little Lada is serious. Both belong to the type of raw and cold, and they don't mind any flavor of the square, and there are no special requirements.

On the other side, Nana said a little embarrassedly: "I want to make a little bit for Six-Tails and Fat Ding~ But until now, we haven't figured out their personalities and favorite tastes, and we usually feed them, and it doesn't seem to hate any tastes." "Indeed, it is almost impossible to judge character the other way around based on the tastes of elves.

"This six-tailed character is a naughty character, and the fat Ding is timid if he is a man." Sora thought for a moment and replied.

His judgment is based on evidence, Fat Ding has been hiding behind the other two elves before, always secretly observing, between the fact that it sings so well when everyone sleeps at night, it must not be a shy character, then it is timid. Six-tails has been following Nana's wagging tail just now, and he has been fluttering around, obviously a naughty character.

"Really? If it's true, thank you so much! After saying that, Nana hurriedly ran out, and when she came back, she had two more squares in her hand, one red and one pink. After feeding it to the two elves, he really showed the expression he still wanted. The null speculation proved to be good.

"It's really naughty and cowardly~ It's so powerful!"

Then Sora enjoyed another "warm" embrace.

After making the red squares, there were not many fruit left, so everyone discussed it and simply put it all into the mixer to try their luck.

As a result, I didn't win the lottery, I want to see gold and rainbow-colored squares, how can it be so easy~ This is much lower than the probability of Crash Crash drawing out an S-level Valkyrie.

Seeing that the last tree fruit was also made into an energy cube, Kamio Suzuko got up and was about to clean up, but was stopped by Nana.

"Senior, you're going back, I'll clean it up, just to repay Sora for helping us distinguish the personalities of the two elves just now."

"Is that okay? Sister Nana doesn't live in the research institute, does she? Sora asked.

"It's okay, my house is in town, it's easy to go back." Nana said with a smile.

"Then it's hard for you."

After speaking, the group said goodbye to Nana.
