Accepting the hologram communicator that Vladali gave him, the two of them each "said goodbye" with their hearts.

In a sense, they all achieved their goals.

Vladali successfully pulled Xia Chen into the gang, and Xia Chen also successfully avoided the trouble of clashing with the Flash Team, and by the way, he also obtained another umbrella in the Carlos area.

As for the first one, it is naturally the Institute of Bratano, which represents the will of the Carlos Alliance.

Xia Chen snorted twice complacently in his heart, he had only been in Carlos for a day, and he had already eaten both black and white.

Plotting is a natural thing, and a clever hand can get it!

Because he had just slept for four hours in the afternoon, Xia Chen was not very sleepy at this time.

Flipping through the map, Xia Chen began to plan his journey for the next six months.

Similar to the game, the important cities in the Carlos region in the real world are also centered on the city of Miare, radiating outwards and forming a five-pointed star.

However, the real world is much larger than the limited maps in the game.

If Xia Chen chooses to ride, it will take three or four days to travel from Miareh City to the nearest Xiangxiang City or Haiyi City.

Not all of the natural landscapes are off the beaten track, and there are also small towns and villages that are less prosperous.

After thinking about it for a while, Xia Chen decided to go all the way north-

Start with the City of Aromatherapy and the Aromatherapy Maiden Noodle Base, then head southeast along Route 15 and take a loop around the mountains in the northeastern part of the Carlos region.

Then it depends on whether you want to continue south or west to the coastline of Carlos.

For one thing, there are more cities in the east and more abundant landscapes than in the west.

The second point is that the Albilian Mountains in the northeast are the place where Jernias has awakened.

Although he knew that it was a little unrealistic, Xia Chen still had the idea that there might be an adventure that would be beneficial to Ibu and Larulath.

Xia Chen had been chatting with Vladali until a relatively late time period, planning the route, and the time was almost past twelve o'clock.

Outside the window, the prismatic tower still exudes psychedelic soft light, and with Ibu and Larulasi in her arms, Xia Chen spent her first night in the Carlos area.

…………

Early the next morning.

"Hello Mr. Xia Chen, this is a gift from Mr. Vladali, he has left Miarei City today for some business and cannot see you off, so let me convey to you, I wish you a pleasant journey."

A woman with short purple hair and purple lipstick stood in front of the door of the room and handed Xia Chen a square box.

The woman was not wearing the orange-red uniform of the Flashfire Team, but looking at this conspicuous appearance, Xia Chen recognized that this was one of the core members of the Flashfire Team, Claire.

Xia Chen was still a little surprised that Vladali directly sent cadres to send things to him.

After all, ordinary team members can do the errand work, and Claire's arrival fully shows that Vladali values herself.

Buying people's hearts is really the basic skill of the major villains.

Xia Chen took the box naturally, and asked casually, "Thank you, may I ask what is inside?" ”

Claire, who was fashionably looking, smiled mysteriously, "It's a small object that our Vladali lab has developed that is not worth mentioning, but they are all things that can make the world a better place, and each one comes with a manual, so I won't go into details." ”

Is "making the world a better place" the mantra of your Flashblaze team?

Xia Chen complained in his heart, and thanked him, "Then thank you Vladali for me, and thank you for sending these things."

Claire covered her mouth and chuckled, "What a cute little guy, the boss pulled you in really the smartest decision he's ever made this year." ”

Xia Chen twitched the corners of his mouth, it has only been three days this year, this sentence. Isn't it a compliment?

…………

"Portable tent, sleeping bag, retractable bike, automatic hob, storage ball"

After sending Claire away, Xia Chen returned to his room to study the gifts sent by Vladali, and found that they were indeed the same as Claire's description, which were things that could make travel easier.

These things all seem to be made of the same material, which is very light but very strong, a bit like a reinforced version of carbon fiber.

Although I don't understand why these things can be packed in a box that is not too big, Xia Chen, the black technology of the elf world, has learned it in the animation.

Compared to the outrageous inventions of Citron and Team Rocket, it is not difficult to accept these not-so-dark technologies.

One thing to say, Vladali is really a warm man, and these things are exactly what Xia Chen, who is about to embark on a journey, needs the most.

In particular, this storage ball, which looks similar to a Poké Ball, can hold nearly four cubic meters of objects in one piece, minus a lot of troublesome trivial things on the road.

So after lunch, as if going out to buy vegetables, Xia Chen rode the black technology bicycle sent by Vladali and officially started his trip in the Carlos area.

Along Road 14 all the way to the north, Xia Chen gradually distanced himself from the bustling city of Miareh behind him, and when he stopped for the first time to drink water and rest, he looked back, and the entire reinforced concrete city was only a looming outline.

And the surrounding scenery has almost no traces of human activity.

This is the characteristic of the elven world, perhaps because of the experience of coexistence left over thousands of years, although there is no clear dividing line between human settlements and elven settlements, they tacitly maintain their respective living spaces.

Of course, most of the wild elves are Muqiang, and if the trainer who came to adventure in the wild had enough strength to defeat it, it didn't mind following the trainer on the path of becoming stronger together.

Xia Chen didn't have a plan to subdue a specific elf on this trip, but he and the doctor agreed that every month he would send him six wild elves through the elf transfer machine in the elf center.

Probably the KPI of my job

Looking at a certain weak elf slowly squirming in the grass, Xia Chen fell into deep thought.

If he sent six pink butterfly worms to the doctor next month, I don't know if he would be angry

After all, Xia Chen was not in a hurry to catch the elves as soon as he started his trip, and after a brief rest, he continued to ride his bicycle along the road to the north.

…………

"The power of science is great!"

Watching a Rubik's cube-like metal cube slowly stretch out into a precision stove half a person tall in front of him, Xia Chen couldn't help but sigh a little.

After a morning of cycling, the sun was high in the sky, and it was time to eat.

Xia Chen followed the map and found this lake called Mirror Lake, ready to rest and cook.

It's a little far from Road 14, but it's a well-known attraction in the Carlos area, and as a collector, Xia Chen naturally won't miss the opportunity to check in the attractions.

Putting Menas, who had not breathed out of the Poké Ball in the morning, into the lake, Xia Chen advised, "Come back to eat in half an hour." ”

"Uhh Menas, who had not swam in the wide waters for several days, gladly agreed, and then turned and plunged into the lake excitedly.

Ibu silently circled around the high-tech stove twice, knowing the enormous ambition beneath Vladali's loving exterior, and she still had to carefully examine what he had sent before she could rest assured.

"Eevee, I'm going to cook, look at Sister Larulath, don't let her be bullied by the wild elves."

Eevee turned his head to look at Larulasi, who was running after the pink butterfly, and pouted, it was really naïve.

However, in the next second, Lalulasi, who couldn't catch up with the Pink Butterfly, got angry, and shot away with a telekinesis, and the Pink Butterfly, who was still laughing at Lalulasi, flapped its wings in vain, but was still pulled back by the powerful telekinesis.

"Laru~(Wouldn't it be nice to let me see it earlier~)"

The two little white hands pressed the wings of the pink butterfly, and the wish-granting Lalulasi had a shallow smile on her face and observed the beautiful lines on the wings of the pink butterfly.

Ibrahim: "."

Lalu Lassi, who grew up under Xia Chen and his own noses, how does it feel a little bit. What about violent tendencies?

This momentum, this neat movement, she wouldn't believe that Lalulath hadn't defeated a hundred elves!

…………

Half an hour later.

Xia Chen found that before cooking, there were only four mouths to be fed, but after cooking, there were two more mouths for eating.

One is a friend of Pink Butterfly that Lalulace just made, but this friend seems to be a little timid, looking timid, and I don't know what I think I have suffered.

The other was a cherry blossom fish that had come ashore with Menas, stalkingly following Menas.

Menas impatiently whipped her with his tail to chase her away, but Sakura Fish was not angry at all, and Pink's body looked more conspicuous.

It feels like it's a bit masochistic.

Xia Chen was silent, although the two of you are indeed an egg group, but the size gap between you.

A child driving a big car?

In short, on the first day of the trip, just stopping for a meal, Xia Chen subdued the two elves and completed one-third of the month's tasks.

Fortunately, the size and appetite of these two elves are not particularly large, and Xia Chen's current food reserves are completely able to withstand them.

The sun is shining and everything is quiet.

The blue surface of the lake is almost integrated with the sky in the distance, making it difficult to distinguish which is the sky and which is the water.

Maybe that's where the name Mirror Lake comes from?

After eating, Xia Chen lay leisurely on the grass on the shore of the lake, looking at the beautiful scenery of the water and sky in a daze.

The cherry blossom fish swam in the middle of the lake in close proximity to Menas, and Larulath played with her new daring child.

Ibu lay beside him and looked into the distance for a while, and then secretly looked at himself, not knowing what he was thinking.

Maybe the sun was too good, and it didn't take long for me to snuggle up and fall asleep.

Xia Chen suddenly wanted to take out his mobile phone and take a picture of everything in front of him.

Just do it!

Secretly photographed Menas in the lake who was annoyed by his high charisma value, Larulasi who pounced on the pink butterfly on the grass, and Eevee who curled up into a ball and slept beside him.

Xia Chen posted the first news of the new year on station P.

"They may never be as carefree as they are today, but of course they have to be documented."

"2023.01.04, in the Carlos area, Mirror Lake."
