Chapter 18: The Balance between Man and Nature

"Coincidentally, why are you here?" Chen Mu asked Jia Yidao.

Jia Yi explained with a smile: "I came here to work part-time, our ship is going to stop in Shipwreck Bay for two months, and the trainers on the ship take turns to take vacations, and I have nowhere to go anyway, so I came to find a job." ”

Sister Li also helped explain at this time: "Jia Yi is a trainer who just passed the interview not long ago, and his elf evaluation data has reached the elite level. ”

Then she looked at Chen Mu, "Since Jia Yi and Yingluo have helped you make a guarantee, then the test process will be exempted, you can take office directly, just partner with Jia Yi, and the treatment will be the same as him for the time being." ”

Without Chen Mu to speak, Jia Yi secretly gave him a "nine" gesture, and nodded vigorously, probably to express that the proprietress here is really atmospheric.

So Chen Mu understood: the starting weekly salary should be nine pounds.

It can indeed be called a very high-paying job.

Qi Xuanyu's performance in the non-combat field was as reliable as ever, and it only took half a day, to be precise, it only took one night to help him find such a good way to make money, and it was without revealing his identity.

"So what exactly do we do?" Chen Mu looked at Sister Li and asked.

Sister Li then got up, stepped down from her seat elegantly, turned around and walked to the back of the store, and hooked her finger at Chen Mu and them halfway.

"Come with me, little ones, and I'll introduce you."

Coming to the back yard of the store with Sister Li, the area here is far larger than Chen Mu expected, and it looks like a large ecological park enclosed by a fence, with rockeries, lawns, tall tropical trees, and a small artificial lake.

What's more, there are also a large number of elves in the area, of all types, and many staff members are taking care of them or trying to domesticate them.

"We are an elf containment center, mainly engaged in the containment, foster care and rehabilitation of elves, and our main business here in Shipwreck Bay is mainly shelter and retreat.

Especially recently, the news of reclamation and island expansion here must have been known to everyone, in the process of reclamation, a large number of wild elves that originally inhabited this sea area need professionals to contain and deal with it, otherwise once it triggers a large-scale riot of the sea elf group, the project will only be seriously dragged down.

And we are one of the professional institutions that have been called in to deal with such issues. ”

As she spoke, Sister Li pointed to the flock of long-winged gulls near the artificial lake in front of her.

"See that flock of long-winged gulls? They originally inhabited the inland waters of Shipwreck Bay, but as the project progressed, they lost their original habitat.

Some time ago they rallied together to attack the reclamation engineering team, and if we hadn't arrived in time to contain them, that attack would have had even more serious consequences. ”

Sister Li's narration is understated, and her steady tone is a little lazy, exhaling like an orchid, as if she is talking softly by the fireside.

But what he said made Chen Mu feel a heavy sense of responsibility.

In this world, human beings must always be cautious in transforming nature, and you must not rush it, otherwise the wild elves with extraordinary powers may actually teach you how to be a human at some point.

Although the reclamation and expansion of the island has brought huge profits and convenience to human sea routes, it has also destroyed the habitat of a large number of wild spirits in the inland sea.

Nature and development are sometimes so difficult to reconcile, and all one can do is try to find a balance between them.

Sister Li continued: "In terms of containment, we have professional cultivators and consultants in our store, so you don't need to worry about it.

The main job of you trainers is to go and deal with the rioting wild elves after receiving a request for help from the engineering team, and if possible, try to catch all of them and send them back to the store, and we will take care of them. ”

"Arrest? Do you use Poké Balls? Jia Yi asked.

He seems to have just come to report, just completed data testing and interviews, and doesn't know much more about the content of the job than Chen Mu.

At this time, an inch-headed uncle in a vest came over and laughed, "With a Poke Ball? Haha, 20 pounds for a ball, how extravagant are you planning to rely on Poké Balls to catch those wild elves? ”

Sister Li immediately introduced: "This is Tang Lei, and your field operations in the future will mainly be under his command." ”

The inch-headed uncle who was called Tang Lei waved his hand very casually, which was regarded as a greeting.

"Wild elves retreat is a rough job, don't expect to catch every elf to be extravagant enough to use Poké Balls, especially when encountering the kind of elves that move in groups, even if you throw the ball and catch one of them, the other elves around will be the first to destroy your Poké Balls to rescue their companions, so remember not to lose the ball in front of the rampaging crowd of elves, unless you like to listen to the sound of your own gold pounds squatting."

"And what do we use to catch the elves?" Chen Mu asked.

"Use whatever you have at hand, fishing nets, sacks, cloth pockets are all good choices, and here in Shipwreck Bay, you can also choose the columbarium."

"The urn? Are you kidding? Jia Yi said in surprise.

Unexpectedly, Tang Lei instantly restrained his smile, and said, "No, I'm serious." By the way, I forgot to ask, are you two afraid of ghosts? ”

"Ghosts?"

Chen Mu was still a little unclear for a while.

Tang Lei then explained: "Yes, ghosts, ghosts, unjust souls of the deep sea, undead souls who ask for their lives!" ”

As he spoke, he raised his hands to the sides of his cheeks and quickly swung his fingers to create a terrifying atmosphere.

It's a pity that Chen Mu doesn't feel anything at all, he just thinks that this uncle is quite childlike.

"You're talking about ghost elves, right?" Chen Mu asked rhetorically.

Tang Lei saw that the spoof was recognized, and he could only put down his hand in disappointment for a while.

"Yes, that's right, it's a ghost elf."

didn't notice that before Chen Mu answered, Jia Yi's facial expression was actually completely tense.

Tang Lei then explained: "Shipwreck Bay has always been a famous sea cemetery in the past, too many people have dumped ashes here, making the undersea yin qi extremely heavy, and over time, a large number of ghost elves have hatched in the depths of the inland sea here, and now people plan to fill up the inland sea, and the ghost elves here will also become homeless, which has caused a lot of trouble recently." ”

By the way, Tang Lei also revealed a reason for recruiting them: "The main elves of the eldest sister's head are ordinary saccharsupial beasts, and there is nothing to do with the ghost elves, otherwise we don't need to recruit trainers externally." ”

Chen Mu looked at the extremely burly marsupial beast beside Sister Li, and suddenly felt a little stunned.

It stands to reason that such a well-known and large-scale wild elf processing center must have its own direct trainers, and Chen Mu was still curious about why they suddenly started recruiting people after moving to Shipwreck Bay.

Now I finally understand that it was caused by their eldest sister's inconvenience to be targeted by the environment.
