Chapter 13. Reflections on the development of contradictory features

[The contradictory trait is common in races such as Hola Squid and Squid King, but it is also occasionally reflected in the vine snake clan, the pseudo-mantis grass clan, the kettle, the dangling spot and other elves...... No other sprites have been found to be in contradiction. 】

[According to the TX ranking of the Pretty Region League, the contrarian trait, the lazy trait, and the weakness trait are tied for the three most wasteful traits.] 】

[With the end of the high school entrance examination, the initial elf distribution work in various places is also in progress...... Expert reminder: Prospective trainers, be sure to take precautions when meeting the initial elf for the first time, and it is recommended to use the illustrated book to check if the elf is a contrarian trait before releasing the elf. 】

……

Yifei tried to find some useful information on the development of the contrarian feature on the Internet.

But helpless.

A search is full of information like this.

It seems that the world still has no research on the development and application of contradictory characteristics.

But Yifei didn't give up.

Because since you have decided to become a partner with Abel Snake and go on together, there is no reason to give up halfway.

And isn't there such a saying, existence is reasonable.

Since the so-called three most wasteful characteristics exist, they have a rationale for their existence.

It's like the lazy nature of the Leave King, although it greatly restricts the strength of the Leave King, but it is not a kind of protection for the Leave King himself.

You must know that the Leave King is not a quasi-god elf, but he has the highest race value among the non-legendary elves, and even the upper limit of the race is not even comparable to many legendary elves.

Moreover, the explosiveness of the Leave King is extremely high, and it is definitely not impossible for the Leave King to strike a blow to the Tough Divine Beast with a properly cultivated Leave King.

But with this kind of explosion of intensity, how can a non-legendary elf body withstand it? I have to take a break for a while.

Therefore, it is true that the lazy characteristic is a restriction on the Leave King, but in Yifei's view, this is the protection of the Leave King clan that has evolved over a long period of evolution.

"Barry!"

It was at this time.

The sucker puppet suddenly handed over a tablet to Yifei.

What appears on the screen is a paper.

Yifei just glanced at it, and his whole breath became short.

- "Conjecture on the Development and Utilization of Elven Characteristics"

The author of this paper is Dr. Alan O'Brien, one of the most famous elven researchers in the Pretty Country.

However, now that the doctor is no longer alive, it is said that when he was studying whether the characteristics of the elves could be artificially transformed, he was accidentally injured and died because of overstimulation of the elves.

At that time, the uproar was quite big, and even Xiao Yifei, who was only seven years old and was far away on this side of the ocean, had heard of it.

"This article ......"

But although Xiao Yifei at the beginning and Yifei now didn't care much about this person, this paper gave Yifei a lot of inspiration.

Just what he needs at the moment.

Dr. Alan O'Brien mentions in the article.

[The characteristics of elves are diverse, and people often think that certain characteristics are useless, but I just don't see it that way. I think that every trait that appears in the elves has a reason and value for its existence. 】

[For example, the Weakness trait, a trait that has only been found in the Ancient Elven Ancestor Bird...... In fact, it is the protection of the Archaeopteryx. 】

[And the most common lazy characteristic of the Leave King is also the natural screening of the Leave King...... According to relevant statistics, the lifespan of non-lazy leave kings is much lower than the average life expectancy of leave kings. 】

[So in fact, in my opinion, even the so-called three most wasteful characteristics are huge treasures waiting for us to dig up......]

[Of course, the most noteworthy should also belong to the last of our so-called three most wasteful characteristics, the contrarian characteristic.] 】

[This trait seems to be even worse than the lazy trait and the weakness trait, and even because the elves with this trait are almost unable to complete the training instructions normally, most trainers are prejudiced against the elves of this trait.] 】

[But I think that this feature must have something worth developing, maybe we can think in a different direction, maybe its purpose is not to protect the elf's body like the lazy trait, nor to temporarily improve the elf's ability like water storage, luxuriant and other characteristics, but in the ...... of the trait itself]

【……】

In the article, Dr. Alan O'Brien lays out his views on elven traits, especially the three most wasteful traits that are generally recognized.

Yifei read the full text carefully.

It is not necessarily true that Dr. Alan O'Brien has studied the nature of contradiction or what has been achieved.

But those few words about it provided him with a new way of thinking, as if opening the door to a new world.

"The purpose is not to protect the body, nor to temporarily increase the ability, but to ...... the characteristics themselves"

"It's ...... the feature itself"

Yifei muttered to himself.

He felt like he had caught something all of a sudden.

But I almost said it.

……

At this time, the sucker puppet quietly hypnotized the hack dragon and the disgusted Abel snake who were sticking to Yifei's side.

Take them to the kitchen.

It creates space for Yifei to think independently.

……

"People discriminate against sprites with contradictory traits, mainly because they prevent sprites from completing trainers' commands."

"But in fact, even elves with this characteristic can understand human language, but the characteristics cause their bodies to instinctively turn against them."

"And the elves who have been in this situation for a long time will also suffer a lot in their hearts, and it is a matter of course that psychological problems arise over time, and people will become more and more alienated from them because of this......"

Yifei's mind was full of thoughts.

One thought after another flooded into my mind.

But then, he suddenly woke up: "Yes! It must be so! I understand!!! ”

His voice suddenly resounded through the room.

There was a glint of excitement in his eyes.

He finally figured it out.

Contrarian characteristic, contradictory!

That's right, it's the opposite!

As Dr. Alan O'Brien said, all features have a value to exist, and contradictory features are just waiting to be developed.

And the direction of development...... Isn't that hidden in the name of this feature?

Since elves with this trait will instinctively behave contrary to the trainer's commands, can the trainer do the opposite when cultivating and commanding?

"If feasible......"

Yifei's hand trembled slightly, clenching his fist.

He knew he was crazy about the idea.

But if it is proven to be feasible.

Then this discovery of his own is enough to peak the current understanding of the entire elven academic community, and the contrarian trait will no longer be a waste trait, but will become a trait that all trainers dream of......
