I just want to give the elves a home. What's wrong with that?

Li Ran naturally had no idea what happened at the school after he left.

After returning to the villa, Li Ran began to look through the map of the surrounding area. His villa was located in the Changqing District of Fangwen City, far away from the downtown area and it was said that it was originally a deep forest.

Later, the Hong Group invested hundreds of millions of dollars to build this villa area.

Li Ran slowly analyzed the environment where Pachirisu might live. Since it could come to where he was and was not a flying-type Pokémon, the distance it came and went could definitely not be more than five kilometers.

After narrowing the scope, Li Ran marked three suspicious points on the map.

They are three places that the Hong Group uses as green parks. The first one is the Paimai Park, which is mainly green and has fitness equipment. It is located in the north of the villa area and only takes 20 minutes on foot.

The second one is mainly based on the river. It is known as the permanent residence of fishermen. It also takes 20 minutes, but it can be achieved by cycling.

Li Ran personally feels that the third location is not very realistic. It is a cemetery in the eastern suburbs. Although the vegetation there is rich, it is also in a semi-developed state. It takes more than half an hour to ride a bicycle to get there.

Considering that Pachirisu had been here every day before, it was almost certain that the cemetery was not where Pachirisu lived.

"First, we'll go to Xixi Botanical Garden, and then we'll ride our bikes around to Paimai Park."

After Li Ran decided on the location, he had a simple breakfast, took the Poké Balls of Xiao Shui and Xiao Long and some intermediate energy blocks he made, and rode his bicycle out.

He had been cheated into buying this bicycle when he was buying a tent. They said he would get a bicycle for free if he added a few hundred dollars.

After searching online, I found that the few hundred yuan I added was exactly the same as the price marked above. Only then did I realize that I had been cheated.

But to be honest, it does feel good to ride. Even on a bumpy road, it doesn't cause the whole person to bounce up. As for the intermediate energy cubes, he collected them as a collection reward from the system a few days ago while Yanyan was busy with her homework.

There are a total of 5 attribute skill fruits (attributes can be selected), intermediate energy block production instructions * 1, virtual battle machine * 1, prop light powder * 1, evolution prop production book, and diving ball production method.

Just like last time, they are all closely related to what Li Ran currently needs. However, Li Ran placed the virtual battle device directly in the yard so that the Pokémons can practice independently. After all, an excellent Pokémon never relies on the trainer, but on its own self-discipline.

Xixi Botanical Garden.

As soon as he rode nearby, Li Ran could already smell a mixture of grass and soil. In the past, this smell could only be smelled when it just started to rain.

The botanical garden is free, so Li Ran simply pushed his bicycle to the garage, put it there, and walked in with a swagger.

Most of the plants here are large and thick vines. With the blessing of the river, the surrounding air is a bit humid, and there are many tiny mosquitoes and small insects flying around.

When he arrived at the river, Li Ran couldn't help but admire the perseverance of these trainers holding fishing rods, a complete set of mosquito repellent equipment, and sun protection suits.

The only difference from the previous life is that these fishermen are all trainers who are keen on water-type Pokémons, so you can see a lot of shrunken Poké Balls piled up in the boxes around them, ready to try to battle and capture them at any time after fishing them out.

After touring the entire botanical garden, Li Ran was almost certain that Pachirisu could not survive here.

The fruit that Pachirisu likes to eat is completely nowhere to be found here. Not only are there few fruit, there are also few large trees. Moreover, the Pokémon that live here are mainly insect and water-type Pokémon, which is not their preferred habitat.

"The only thing left is Flattery Park, but what kind of things will Pachirisu encounter there..."

Li Ran was thinking while riding his bicycle, and then he thought that maybe the Pachirisu had just been captured. If that was the case, he would have to think about how to comfort the little girl Yanyan.

With this mood, he had already leisurely ridden to the Flattering Park.

After arriving, Li Ran found that this Flattering Park was worthy of its name. At the entrance there was a bronze statue of a half-body horse, the kind with only the horse's butt but no head, and its two hind legs raised to the sky.

This bizarre building shocked Li Ran's young mind. This design must have been created by a master. Li Ran squatted down and looked at the designer below.

"Kosha...I seem to have seen this name somewhere."

Li Ran's memory seemed to be awakened, and a vague image of the man with vine-like green hair in a certain issue of a magazine emerged in his mind, and he always looked so tired.

It looks like he was really tired, otherwise how could he have designed such a stunning masterpiece.

After entering, Li Ran found that the ecology here really had not changed much. Most people were walking around the park, and occasionally one or two couples could be seen kissing on the benches.

No one uses those fitness equipment, otherwise they wouldn’t be covered with ivy.

"Let's try to find Pachirisu first..."

Li Ran began to search slowly in the park. He had almost ruled out the possibility that it was taken away by the trainer. No one came in to catch it.

There are quite a few wild elves in the park, but they all have one thing in common: they are not afraid of people. Maybe it’s because there are quite a lot of humans nearby, so they gradually get used to it.

Li Ran also found about ten trees with fruit, but almost all the edible ones had been picked or fell to the ground. The only fruits left on the trees were those that had not yet matured. They tasted sour and astringent, and were probably even difficult to bite.

"Xiao Shui, you two come out too. You should know Pachirisu, the little blue squirrel. Ask the wild Pokémon if they have seen it."

After asking, Xiaoshui and Xiaolong nodded and ran out in two different directions.

In less than half an hour, Xiaolong came back. According to Xiaolong, the Pachirisu should be the native resident here. After waiting for Xiaoshui to come back, he got the answer.

"Let's go and see where Pachirisu lives."

Li Ran nodded, and with the two elves leading the way, after walking for a distance, Li Ran arrived at a wider place.

“I didn’t expect this park to be so big.”

Li Ran was slightly surprised. The area here was too large. It was no wonder that the evil capitalists had acquired such a large piece of land.

Xiaoshui and the others took him to a place, or to be more precise, five fruit trees with orange and peach fruits. When he got closer, he saw countless replicas of Pachirisu living there.

Li Ran's arrival also made them suddenly scared. They hurriedly stopped picking fruits and hurriedly crawled into the small cave where they lived.

"Xiao Shui, try to communicate with them."

Li Ran didn't expect that the socially phobic Pachirisu actually had such a shy family member. He was indeed a little different.

"Woo-woo, woo-woo."

Xiao Shui nodded and took a few steps forward. With his simple smile and appearance, he lowered the vigilance of many Pachiris.

Soon after Xiaoshui's words, a relatively large Pachirisu, who looked older, slowly crawled onto a branch near Xiaoshui and started communicating with him.

"You mean a lot of Pachirisu have left, and it doesn't know which one we're looking for?"

Li Ran looked at what Xiao Shui had conveyed, and quickly put his hand into his bag and took out an energy cube that Pachirisu often ate. Based on his understanding of Pachirisu, he would definitely bring back energy cubes several times since he usually gave it so many.

"Look, has anyone of your people brought this back?"

Li Ran placed the blue energy block in the palm of his hand and slowly approached Pachirisu. Pachirisu's vision suddenly became clear and his eyes glowed.

Li Ran found it a little funny to see its appearance, so he put it directly in its hand, and then took out the second one.

"How about it? Does it have any impression of that Pachirisu?"

The older Pachirisu held the energy block and nodded vigorously, which made Li Ran breathe a sigh of relief. He thought he had not come to the wrong place.

"Do you know where it went?"

"Squeak."

Pachirisu looked obviously angry for a moment, then he grabbed the energy cube with one hand and tried to pull it hard in the air with the other hand.

Li Ran tried very hard to understand its meaning, and finally came to a conclusion reluctantly.

This Pachirisu seemed to have been captured by someone, but seeing how angry this older Pachirisu looked, the means used must have been very strong.

"Which direction did that person go?"

Li Ran stuffed another energy cube into its arms, and the Pachirisu immediately became friendly and pointed him in a direction in a friendly manner. This made the other Pachirisu hiding in their nests around him envious, and they all looked at Li Ran eagerly with their fingers in their mouths.

"Okay, thank you little one, share these with your people."

Li Ran was also glad that he was prepared. He took out a small bag with about ten pills in it. This made the older Pachilis burst into tears. What a good man!

When Li Ran finally left, all the Pachirisus waved goodbye to him reluctantly, and a few of them even flirted with him, wanting Li Ran to conquer them so that they could dream of sleeping in a pile of energy blocks.

"I didn't expect that he was forcibly taken away. It will be difficult to find him now..."

First of all, the people living nearby must be of high status. It seems that if I want to find Pachilis, I have to ask Hong Pang for help.

"Hey?"

Li Ran bought a new mobile phone after he came back. Although he still felt bad about spending tens of thousands of Elf Coins, it was a necessity, so he called Hong Pang.

"What's wrong, Xiaoran?"

"Please ask around in the villa area if any family has caught a Pachirisu recently... That Pachirisu is often a guest at our house, and Yanyan likes it very much."

"Okay, no problem, wait for my news."

For Hong Pang, this was a trivial matter and he replied to Li Ran in less than half an hour.

"There are three families who have recently captured Pachirisu, two girls and one boy."

"Have you ever subdued them using unusual means?"

Li Ran was silent for a while and then asked.

"I don't know about that. Do you want to go and have a look at all three of them?"

"Well, I'll trouble you then."

Li Ran nodded. This was the best solution at the moment. In less than half an hour, Hong Pang arrived at his location. Uncle Li also came with him. There was an electric monster standing next to him, but it was a bit timid and kept hiding behind Uncle Li, obviously shy.

Seeing Uncle Li carrying it with him, Li Ran understood what Uncle Li meant. It was obvious that he was telling him not to forget about the electric monster. He could only silently reply with a reassuring look. Originally, he didn't know what to do, but with the production book and material requirements given by the system, he was more confident at the moment.

The first two families were all girls. Li Ran knew without even looking that the two Pachirisuds were here for real. They didn't put them into Poké Balls, and one of them was either holding Pachirisuds in his arms or standing on their shoulders. There was no need to doubt how close they were.

And when he saw Li Ran, he didn't show any recognition.

"So, you still don't want to be my elf?"

As soon as they arrived at the door of the third house, Li Ran and Hong Pang heard the voice of a young man coming from the yard. After exchanging glances, the two slowly moved to the other side.

It was a metal cage with a Pachirisu inside. From a distance they could see the dying Pachirisu and the vicious look of the young man. The anger in the hearts of the two men rose immediately.

No matter if it was the Pachirisu he knew, he shouldn't be treated like this.

"Uncle Li, go say hello to their family and tell them we are here to pay them a visit."

Hong Pang had a gloomy face and said to Uncle Li beside him.

Uncle Li understood what he meant and dialed a number through Hong's special phone, while the three of them went to the door and waited for it to open.

"You must be the prince of the Hong Group! Why don't you come to my house when you have time?"

The young man seemed to have changed his face. If I hadn't seen his sinister look just now, I would have been fooled by him.

"Why aren't you welcome?"

Hong Pang narrowed his eyes and spoke jokingly, which of course made the young man feel a little nervous. Most of the people living here have business dealings with the Hong Group, so he would not offend them easily and quickly took him in.

"Xiaofang, go make a pot of tea for the three guests."

When they came into the room, the young man asked the maid to make tea, and they sat down.

Li Ran's gaze unconsciously turned to the cage in the yard. The Pachirisu seemed to have seen Li Ran and was even trembling as it tried to stand up. He saw the whole scene and confirmed it in his heart.

It's that Pachirisu after all...
