Chapter 660: What Is an Elf? Can It Be Caught in a Poké Ball?
A private teleportation array... as a quest reward, it was indeed quite excellent; Boss Fang could use it at any moment to return to the Jiuhua City shop, or to visit the Yuanyang City and Half-City locations.
Moreover, it allowed for one companion to be teleported along, which meant he could bring someone over to enjoy themselves.
"Who should I bring...?" Boss Fang pondered, while utilizing his new-model communication jade to peer stealthily at the chat messages within the various major groups.
Right then, inside the Legend of Sword and Fairy Penguin group, a passionate discussion regarding the plot of the fourth installment was underway, when a Jiang Xiaoyue, sporting a Liu Mengli avatar, suddenly bounced into the chat: "I absolutely adore Mengli, none of you are allowed to fight me for her! (Super fierce)"
Boss Fang: "Does Xiaoyue want to come out and play? (Loud laughter)"
He had swiftly locked onto a little loli and was attempting a capture.
"Trashy Boss!" Jiang Xiaoyue glared at this Boss Fang who spent every day playing vanishing acts. "Ignoring you!"
"Eh?" Boss Fang was dazed for a moment.
"I support Xiaoyue! The trashy boss hasn't shown his face at all lately!" Dong Qingri also spoke up to denounce him.
Song Qingfeng: "(Disdain) The trashy boss who lurks all day has finally manifested."
Tang Yu: "He was absolutely screen-peeping just now."
"He definitely wants to bully Xiaoyue again!" Nalan Mingxue remarked. "Come over to this big sister's place to play."
As the Boss Fang who had been lurking constantly of late, his sudden speech in the group immediately stirred up a thousand ripples with a single stone.
"Judging by this, is it possible to go over to 'that side' now?" The enchantress Ning Bi also came to join the bustle. "How on earth are things going over there?"
After all, the impression that place gave them was not particularly friendly; it felt as though Boss Fang was fighting wars over there every single day.
"That's right." Jiang Xiaoyue also inquired curiously. "How are things over there?"
"The boss wouldn't happen to be executing Dynasty Warriors-style massacres over there every day, would he?" Su Tianji joined the discussion as well.
"Massacres my foot." Boss Fang's face twitched. "My side is perfectly harmonious. There are friendly, elegant, peace-loving elves, and assassins who believe in freedom, though they're a bit green. There's also a bunch of amused knights who played Assassin's Creed so much they took the lead in leaping off buildings..."
"Elves?" Dong Qingri posted a photo of a Pikachu plushie. "Like this? Are there also Poke Balls over there that you can catch elves in?"
She then imagined a scene of a flock of Pokemon sitting in the internet cafe browsing the web: "It seems quite adorable... I want to catch one..."
"And here we were worrying about whether the boss was having a hard time over there, yet he went behind our backs to catch elves?!" A large crowd of people immediately began to protest.
Su Tianji: "Can you catch one for me?!"
Dong Qingri: "I want one too, I want one too!"
Shen Qingqing: "(Eyes full of little stars) Give me one!"
Boss Fang's face turned dark: "..."
"That's a Pokemon! It's not the kind I am talking about!" Boss Fang emphasized once more. "Elves cannot be caught!"
He hurried to pinch their ideas right in the cradle.
"Could it be like this...?" Jiang Xiaoyue posted a picture at this moment; it was a game screenshot of hers from Dungeon and Fighter, and Seria belonged to the elf race, possessing two pointed ears, exceptionally beautiful.
"Hm? This is an elf too?" Evidently, quite a few players only knew how to grind maps and player-kill, so many were visibly perplexed. "Isn't this just a human with slightly pointed ears? I was even wondering why this person's ears could be so long and pointed; so it turns out they aren't human..."
Regarding this sort of person, Boss Fang wore a face of sheer awkwardness: "Can you guys be any more thick-skinned and oblivious?! Do you not watch the plot at all?"
"We flash the Abyss every day, what plot is there to watch?" Some non-story players expressed that they still didn't quite understand the plot right now, only knowing that they seemed to be adventuring across the continent and incidentally helping out, exposing the mastermind's conspiracy or something.
Nalan Mingxue summarized: "The boss means... there are also these kinds of pointed-eared, exceptionally adorable humans over there?"
"No... isn't that from inside the game...?" Su Tianji was also bewildered; she had encountered elves in the game too, and by the looks of it, she had encountered quite a few.
"Wasn't that fabricated inside the game?!" The others were even more bewildered.
Now, listening to Boss Fang's meaning, did such creatures truly exist in this world?!
Do not deceive me!
Having lived a lifetime, they had never heard of such creatures existing!
...
And at this moment, these elves and knights, along with this crowd of spectating assassins, were evidently also wearing faces of sheer bewilderment, finding it stranger and stranger the more they played: "...This thing in here is always talking about demons and monsters, and it turns out some of them are just these animals and plants seen everywhere? If their strength becomes high, they can turn into humans?"
How could there be such a thing?!
Furthermore, it felt like... Liu Mengli seemed to be a demon too?!
This wasn't right; she was such a large, living human being.
If elevating one's strength allowed one to turn into a human, then the strength of our gryphons was decent as well, so why weren't they human?
On this continent, only upon reaching the Saint level did those magical beasts existing in legends possess the ability to open their mouths and speak human tongue; those capable of transforming into humans were only ever heard of in mythology.
As for those magical beasts capable of speaking human tongue, regardless of lineage, strength, or status, they were all extremely aloft and exalted existences, fundamentally not something ordinary people could come into contact with.
And the beastmen... they were born that way.
As elves, they were particularly close to certain animals and plants, especially those small animals or herbivores that were similarly peace-loving and mild-tempered.
For instance, deer or squirrels and the like.
We deal with these animals in the forest every day, so how come we've never seen one capable of turning into a human to play with us?!
"Boss!" These elves held immense disdain toward this; although this world was very miraculous, you must not deceive us!
They called the boss over on the spot.
The animals of your household can all turn into humans just like Saint beasts?!
If it could be like this, wouldn't I have turned all the small animals of our Silver Moon Forest into humans?!
They simply did not believe it; it was practically impossible to comprehend.
...
"This..." Boss Fang looked at these elves whose eyes were filled with disdain, suspecting that Boss Fang's mystic realm was excessively exaggerated, which made him feel very pained. "They don't believe that elves exist in this world either... I am right in the middle of explaining it to them!"
"How could they not exist!" The elven maiden Tsilla pointed angrily at herself and said, "Aren't we right here?!"
"Exactly!" Several knights beside her also chimed in. "If there are no elves, then what is this in front of our eyes?"
Boss Fang quickly sent these words into the group.
Tang Yu and the others grew displeased: I am currently sitting together with a deer to play games in the dark, and you are telling me there are no demons in this world?! Would you dare believe a situation where there are no demons?
Boss Fang then stole a glance at his communication jade: "They say the same thing."
Jiang Xiaoyue pouted her little mouth and said, "I just don't believe it, unless this princess is allowed to see a true elf!"
A certain player sporting a massive white deer avatar also protested within the group: "I don't believe it either!"
