Chapter Seventy-Six: The Breeding House
By the end of the morning, Link was already tired enough. It was mainly because listening to Zhulan's description of the historical war that kept him in reverie throughout the half-day operation, and those thoughts were seriously out of harmony with the work at hand, and when people's thoughts and actions were inconsistent, fatigue would come much faster than normal.
Not even a good lunch, Link lay down under a large, lush tree, the roots of the carefully manicured grass smelling of a heavy but pleasant mixture of plants and earth.
I pulled a dog's tail and bit it between my teeth, this kind of leisurely time would be a terrible thing if I didn't use it to think about it without bounds. And the first thing that dragged Link's thinking was the figure of a big king swallow that swept by in the low air.
Link clearly remembers that he had only recently used this elf as a pretext to give Dr. Odamaki a little bit of a comparison of the signs of the "root" trait - in fact, Link did track down this elf for a while in order to find out the specific manifestations of the root trait, but it was not as persistent as described in the report to the doctor.
Even if he is not interested in research, the inertia of playing the role of an assistant in the research institute for nearly a year has indeed made Link more or less stained with the working attitude of a scientific researcher, but he is not to get results, but to set up a team of elves in the future to make some investigation reserves.
In this lineup, there must be an elf with strong aggression. The role played by this elf is the kind of positioning that produces the most direct oppressive force like a mad dog, not through tactics, field control, realm height, etc., but like a flying brick about to paste the oppression on the face.
This kind of oppression can greatly compress the impact of the overall strength gap on the outcome of the battle, and in Link's opinion, the most suitable choice is the martial arts system.
Lucario, for example, but given the size of that family's population, this choice was to let it go out of the way
Or worms.
Both Strange Force and Heracross's seem to be good, of course, the former's "defenseless" trait should be sharper, but given Link's "brick" orientation, the root trait is more prominent in terms of anti-interference......
The feeling of being punched in the stomach interrupted Link's thoughts, and before Link could sit up, a red and white mass of something against Link's nose rushed to Link's eyes.
This is...... The one he had fed in the morning, Link, looked at the little creature that appeared so abruptly. The only impressive thing about the elves of this house is that no one has ever found two individuals with exactly the same markings on their bodies.
Link's neck was uncomfortable with his feet, and Link lifted the thing up and sat up. The wobble was shaking on all fours and head in Link's hand, but the feeling in his hand didn't mean to break free.
Dangling slipped from Link's loose hand, dancing and jumping until Link felt a little dizzy and dazed, and then he realized that this thing was actually dancing in chaos.
Shaking his head, Link shook off the dizziness, felt that he was almost rested, and left the jumping little guy and walked back. Now that he is preoccupied, he really can't do anything to play with this kind of cute little guys.
It wasn't until Link approached the edge of the nursery center again that two positive (negative) electric pats playing in a group appeared in Link's field of vision, and the moment he saw them, Link realized a problem.
Yes, he could only see and touch it, but in his conscious perception, he didn't notice it at all. Link, who was able to detect the activities of the elves in the deep sea and at the bottom of the lake with all his might, was accurately sensed by him for the existence of all living creatures within 10 meters of his body, let alone in such a peaceful environment just now!
He was completely unaware of its proximity until it landed on his stomach, and now that he looked back, he had not detected it perceptually all along, only visually......
Link's time to practice superpowers is too short, so short that he is not used to the changes that superpowers have made him, if he were to be replaced by any other skilled superpower trainer, the moment he saw that dangling spot, he must not be calm and meaningless, but surprised, or even terrifying......
Link resisted the urge to turn around and check, paused only slightly, and continued in his direction. He had enough to worry about, and the best response to the hiccup was to act as if he didn't notice anything, and he was just playing with a mischievous Dangling spot.
Back in the center of the nursery school, looking at Zhulan, who had obviously started to be busy, Link was a little ...... Well, it's uncomfortable anyway - for my own slacking behavior. So he also began to look for any suitable work to do.
After a short break in the morning, Link, who had calmed down, began to examine the breeding house.
This is a very high standard breeding house, which is definitely worthy of its first fang, and even enjoys the name of Xinao. Even though the current federation has not formally qualified breeders, customers here still have an almost unreserved trust in the craftsmanship of the staff.
And Link will never analyze the existence of a thing, at least subjectively, without intentionally bringing any emotional color. For example, the loving care of the foster elves is not evaluated as caring and good-hearted, but as "the staff have a good attitude".
Link, who has long had experience in feeding a large number of elves, first noticed the cost of feeding here, and it is clear that there is a huge difference in the food rationed by elves of the same race, from 7 to 24 processing, from no supplementary food to more than 9 kinds of supplementary food, although he has not actually participated in the settlement, Link estimates that the difference in the money paid by their owners is at least 10 times......
Link went to the front desk to consult and the results confirmed his suspicions. The treatment of foster elves here is somewhat strictly hierarchical - this is of course determined by the money paid by their masters.
So, Link very much wants to know, how much profit margin does this breeding house have?
