Elf, I am really a farmer

On the aircraft, Wen Qi was admiring the scenery outside with great interest when he suddenly heard a heated discussion among the family next to him.

This family seems to be a breeding family.

Wen Qi looked over curiously and saw an old man wearing a senior breeder's badge on his chest. He must be the most experienced one in the family.

The middle-aged man next to him, probably the old man's son, looked like a mid-level breeder. He was holding a book with a nervous look on his face. He should be taking the assessment for advanced breeders. Judging from the way he was cramming at the last minute, he probably didn't have much confidence.

That gentle middle-aged woman should be the middle-aged man’s wife. Her eyes are always full of tenderness on her children.

There is also a pair of children, who are about the same age as Wenqi, and it seems that they will also take the exam, so they are following in their father's footsteps.

The two children seemed very confident and not as flustered as their father, who kept chattering away, with their mother and grandfather occasionally joining in a few words.

"Grandpa, do you think we will have no problem with this primary breeder assessment?"

My younger sister Zhu Xiu blinked her bright big eyes and looked at grandpa expectantly.

Grandpa Zhu Wenzhong smiled and touched his sister's head, saying:

"You two have a solid grasp of the knowledge of a beginner breeder. If you perform normally, it shouldn't be a problem for you to pass."

Brother Zhu Qiang confidently took over the conversation:

"That's right. We all remember everything Grandpa taught us. We know all about the attributes of Pokémon, the characteristics of their growth stages, and the prevention and treatment of common diseases!"

Zhu Xiu nodded repeatedly:

"Yeah, but I'm still a little worried about the production of energy cubes. This thing is too difficult to control, and the quality is not very stable every time it is made."

Zhu Wenzhong comforted:

"It does take a long time to practice to make energy cubes, but do your best during the exam and do as much as you can. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. You might succeed if you're lucky."

Zhu Qiang patted his chest and said:

"Don't worry, even if we are unlucky this time, we will be able to do it well if we practice more in the future."

The brother and sister were full of confidence, but the middle-aged man Zhu Ximing over there was frowning. He kept flipping through the book in his hand but couldn't read a single word.

Wife Li Wen saw this and said softly:

"Don't be too nervous. If it doesn't work, forget it. Don't put so much pressure on yourself."

Zhu Ximing sighed helplessly:

"How can I not be nervous? Dad insisted that I take part in this advanced breeder assessment, but I know my own limitations very well.

With my qualifications, it took me a lot of effort to pass the intermediate level training exam. This time, I am just trying my luck to pass the advanced level exam."

The daughter-in-law held her husband's hand and said gently:

"Dad is doing this for your own good. He wants you to try harder. Even if you don't pass, we've tried our best. There's nothing to regret."

Zhu Ximing shook his head:

"I know what Dad is thinking, but I really feel that there is little hope. The content of this advanced breeder assessment is so difficult. I have been studying hard recently, but I still feel uncertain."

Zhu Wenzhong heard the conversation here, turned around and said:

"Ximing, don't be so unconfident. Although your qualifications are not outstanding, your experience over the years is not accumulated in vain. As long as you use all you know, you may pass."

Zhu Ximing smiled bitterly:

"Dad, you make it sound easy. This advanced assessment requires not only mastery of theoretical knowledge, but also strict practical operation. I feel so confused and I have no confidence at all."

Sister Zhu Xiu comforted her:

"Dad, don't be so pessimistic. Look, my brother and I are not afraid. You should be brave too."

Zhu Ximing smiled helplessly:

"What do you two kids know? How can this be the same?"

My brother Zhu Qiang said:

"Dad, our whole family supports you, so don't think too much. Just do your best in the exam. Even if you don't pass, we will just keep working hard."

His wife Li Wen also said:

"Yeah, don't be too hard on yourself, just let it be."

Zhu Ximing was silent for a while, then took a deep breath:

"Okay, since we're already here, let's give it a try!"

The family discussed the details of the assessment again. The atmosphere was sometimes tense and sometimes relaxed, but always full of expectations and longings for the future.

Just as the family was having a heated discussion, sister Zhu Xiu turned around inadvertently and saw Wen Qi standing beside them.

She looked at Wen Qi curiously, and seeing that he was focused and seemed to be thinking about something, she asked:

"Hello, what's your name?"

Wen Qi smiled politely and replied:

"My name is Wenqi."

Zhu Xiu's eyes lit up, and then asked:

"Brother Wenqi, are you going for the assessment as well?"

Wen Qi nodded.

Zhu Xiu was delighted, thinking that he had met a fellow traveler, and said happily:

"That's great. I guess you're also taking the exam for a junior breeder, right?"

Wen Qi smiled and didn't answer immediately.

Zhu Xiu thought he agreed, so he started to communicate excitedly:

"Brother Wenqi, let me tell you something. I've always been worried that the energy cubes won't be made well. Do you have any special techniques?"

Wen Qi answered seriously:

"When making energy cubes, the freshness of the ingredients is crucial, and the speed and strength of the stirring must be uniform. In addition, the proportion of energy cube ingredients suitable for Pokémon with different attributes is also different."

Zhu Xiu listened attentively and nodded continuously. His brother Zhu Qiang was also attracted and joined the conversation:

"So what are your thoughts on the conditions and timing for Pokémon to evolve?"

Wen Qi talks freely:

“This requires comprehensive consideration of multiple factors, including individual differences of Pokémon, growth environment, and training methods.

For example, it may be more advantageous for water-type Pokémon to evolve in a specific aquatic environment.

But we must also pay attention to their own potential and willingness, and not force evolution, otherwise it may affect their growth and ability development."

The brother and sister were more impressed as they listened, and Zhu Qiang couldn't help but say:

"Brother Wenqi, you know so much!"

At this time, Grandpa Zhu Wenzhong was also attracted by the exchange here, and he was secretly surprised when he heard Wenqi's answer. He found that this young man's insights were not only comprehensive, but some of his views were even deeper and more thoughtful than his own.

Zhu Wenzhong couldn't help but say:

"Young man, you are also going to Changqing City for the assessment this time. You look confident. This time it should be easy for you to succeed."

Wen Qi had no ill feelings towards this old man, and was confident in his ability to train people, so he said directly:

"Yes, I think it should be easy to do."

As soon as these words came out, the family opposite was stunned.

The middle-aged man Zhu Ximing couldn't help but look at Wen Qi carefully. Feeling his confidence, he couldn't help but feel a little envious. At the same time, he also reflected on whether he was too cowardly.

Sister Zhu Xiu was stunned for a moment, then said:

"Seeing how confident you are, I think you should be able to qualify as an intermediate breeder in a few years. You're amazing."

Wen Qi suddenly interrupted:

"I'm sorry, I'm not taking the entry-level test this time. I'm taking the advanced test."

As soon as these words came out, sister Zhu Xiu swallowed back what she was about to say and just stood there.

The family on the other side were so shocked by this sudden answer that they were speechless.

After a brief silence, Zhu Xiu was the first to come back to his senses and muttered softly:

"You are just bragging. How is that possible?"

Zhu Qiang also curled his lips:

"It's unrealistic to take the advanced exam at such a young age."

The middle-aged man Zhu Ximing frowned and thought to himself:

"This kid is too ambitious and can't be trusted."

His wife Li Wen gently pulled her children, signaling them to stop talking.

Mr. Zhu Wenzhong smiled awkwardly:

"It's good for young people to have confidence, but they still have to be down-to-earth."

Wen Qi also noticed the change in the family's attitude, but he didn't care. He knew that in this day and age, people often don't believe the truth.

So he said no more and just closed his eyes to rest.

The family felt that there was nothing more to discuss with Wen Qi, so they refocused on their own discussion about the assessment.

The atmosphere became a little subtle. The enthusiasm that existed when communicating with Wen Qi before disappeared, and was replaced by a faint sense of alienation and suspicion.

The aircraft continued to fly steadily, white clouds drifted slowly outside the window, but this corner of the cabin fell into a brief silence and awkwardness because of Wen Qi's words.
