Elf, I am really a farmer

In the small world, Wen Qi's heart was beating wildly in his chest like an out-of-control war drum, as if it would break through the constraints of his chest and jump into his throat in the next moment.

His pupils dilated rapidly due to extreme excitement, and his eyes were full of surprise and disbelief.

Originally, Wen Qi had expected that this bear disciple with quasi-king-level strength must be extremely arrogant.

It will sneer at its new owner who suddenly appears, and it is very likely to be full of hostility and resistance.

Wen Qi once thought to himself that if he wanted to get such a bear disciple to communicate with him, he would have to go through a long and difficult adjustment process. It might take months or even years to break the ice in its heart.

However, at this moment, the clear and melodious cry of Apprentice Bear was like a flash of lightning that cut through the dark night sky, instantly breaking all the inherent cognition in Wen Qi's heart.

This sudden initiative to strike up a conversation made Wen Qi so excited that he could hardly control himself, and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

He hurriedly tried his best to control his surging emotions and prayed silently in his heart, fearing that a small mistake would scare this precious bear apprentice in front of him.

After the exciting emotions calmed down a little, Wen Qi knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that should not be missed.

So, he leaned forward slightly, his movements gentle and natural, his eyes focused and sincere as he stared at his disciple, and asked softly in a tone as gentle and kind as the warm spring sun:

"Excuse me, is there anything I can help you with?"

When Apprentice Xiong heard Wen Qi's words, his small and delicate ears instantly stood up like sensitive antennas, and his eyes flashed with excitement, like two jumping bright flames.

Its body unconsciously moved forward and responded eagerly:

"Can you help me evolve? My master gave up on me before. He told me that he couldn't help me evolve. He also said that you might have a chance. If you can help me evolve, I'm willing to be your Pokémon."

Its voice echoed in Wenqi's mind, carrying with it a sense of grievance and endless desire. Its little paws kept scratching the ground, as if venting the depression and distress in its heart of being trapped in the current situation and unable to evolve for a long time.

When Wen Qi heard Apprentice Xiong's request, the smile on his face that was originally blooming with anticipation froze instantly. His brows furrowed slightly and he fell into deep thought.

He could truly feel that the bear apprentice's desire for evolution was like a raging fire, hot and strong, and the experience of being abandoned by the previous owner undoubtedly planted the seeds of resentment and loss in its heart.

But the conditions it proposed were like a thorny problem, putting Wen Qi in a dilemma.

Wen Qi thought to himself, "This bear apprentice's desire for evolution is far beyond my imagination. The experience of being abandoned by the previous master must have made it feel very unwilling.

But the conditions it proposed put me in a dilemma.

My own task process is to conquer it first, then I can get the reward, and then I will be able to help it evolve.

But now it has made evolution a condition of submission, what should we do?"

There was a trace of confusion and helplessness in his eyes. His hands clenched and unclenched unconsciously, and he was struggling fiercely in his heart.

He knew that if he directly told his apprentice bear that he had to tame it before he could help it evolve, these words would inevitably carry a threatening tone, which could easily destroy the fragile relationship they had just established like a sharp blade.

If his disciple Bear develops a dislike for him because of this, all his previous efforts will be wasted, and the generous mission rewards will vanish like bubbles.

Apprentice Xiong watched Wen Qi fall into silence. The light of hope that had originally flickered in his eyes gradually dimmed, and his ears drooped.

Its eyes were filled with loss and sadness, and its body, which had been trembling slightly due to anticipation, became listless, as if it had lost all its vitality.

It slowly lowered its head, looking at the food in front of it that it had originally thought was delicious, but now it felt it was tasteless. It sighed softly, and there was a hint of sadness and despair in that faint breath.

"Is there nothing he can do? Am I going to have to live like this forever?"

Apprentice Bear thought silently in his heart, curled up into a ball, like a lonely child abandoned in a corner by the world, really pitiful.

Wen Qi witnessed the lonely and sad appearance of his disciple Xiong, and his heart was filled with helplessness and pity.

He sighed slightly, opened his lips slightly, and said in a sincere and genuine tone: "Apprentice Bear, I can indeed help you evolve, but before that, you must first submit to me and be truly conquered by me.

It's not that I intend to coerce you, but I have my own unspeakable secrets.

Only if you follow me sincerely, I will have enough ability and conditions to help you achieve evolution."

After saying this, Wen Qi looked directly into Apprentice Xiong's eyes with a firm and calm gaze. There was no trace of hypocrisy or affectation in his eyes, which were as clear as a mountain spring.

When Apprentice Bear heard Wen Qi's words, he was slightly startled, and a hint of surprise and unexpectedness flashed in his round eyes.

It had never expected that Wen Qi actually had a way to help it evolve, but the prerequisite for this evolution was that it had to surrender first. This gave it a subtle feeling of being controlled, as if it was caught in a dilemma.

It looked up at Wen Qi, and what it saw was a look full of sincerity. It could feel from it that Wen Qi seemed helpless, and perhaps this was really the only way.

But even so, Apprentice Xiong was still extremely conflicted.

It thought to itself: "If I surrender so easily, wouldn't it be too humble?

Besides, how do I know if he can really fulfill his promise? What if he is just fooling me? Wouldn't I become a joke?"

It stood in place, its body swaying slightly, its eyes revealing hesitation and indecision, its ears trembling slightly unconsciously, as if it was having a fierce ideological struggle in its heart.

Wen Qi was keenly aware of the inner movements of his disciple bear, and also noticed the trace of entanglement that had not yet dissipated.

Instantly, he understood Disciple Xiong's concerns, so he quickly added: "Disciple Xiong, you can rest assured that I have no need to deceive you.

Just think about it, I don't have any means to forcibly restrict your actions now.

If you find out that I have deceived you in any way in the future, you can terminate your submission to me at any time.

Ultimately, the decision-making power is in your own hands.”

Wen Qi's voice was steady and powerful, his eyes revealing confidence and calmness, trying to dispel Apprentice Xiong's doubts.
