Fairy Tail: Vector Manipulation Chapter 11

"Let go already!" Chen Fan shouted furiously at Elfman.

"No, I absolutely won't let go." His expression was even more resolute.

"If you don't let go, my arm is going to break!!! You idiot!" Chen Fan roared at Elfman, his voice carrying a trace of a sob. He had lived two lives and had never suffered like this before.

"Ah, sorry, sorry. I didn't know you were so weak. Your arm is just like a little chick's." Elfman kept bowing to Chen Fan in apology, but no matter how Chen Fan heard it, it sounded like an insult.

Chen Fan deeply regretted coming to find this muscle-brained fool. He was utterly speechless at Elfman, whose brain and cerebellum were both underdeveloped.

Rubbing his arm, Chen Fan felt more and more that this body was simply too weak. It seemed he would have to find a chance to nourish himself properly in the future. His abilities needed improving too.

He raised a hand and patted his stiff face, forcing out a smile uglier than crying as he said gently, "It's fine, I'm okay now. I'm a doctor, after all. This little 'comminuted' fracture won't stump me." He deliberately emphasized the word "comminuted."

As he said this, Chen Fan's hand behind his back had already clenched into a fist, trembling back and forth as he struggled to suppress the urge to punch Elfman. At the same time, he deliberately exaggerated his injury. After all, whatever Chen Fan said, Elfman would believe it.

Sure enough, the simple-minded Elfman fell for it, and a guilty expression appeared on his face.

Chen Fan reached out and patted Elfman's shoulder. After giving him an encouraging look, he casually said, "Ah, I've only just arrived at Fairy Tail, and I haven't even had a proper look around this city yet."

Hearing Chen Fan's words, Elfman lifted his head and pointed at himself. "I know this place well. I'll take you around." He clearly thought Chen Fan was giving him a way out.

"That would be a huge help. Now that's how a real man acts. You really are a man." A few words sent Elfman floating on air again, his head held high and chest puffed out.

Thus, under Elfman's guidance, Chen Fan toured the entire city and placed orders at several places he needed. Of course, every time Chen Fan reached toward his jacket pocket to take out money, Elfman would beat him to it and pay first. He even said, "A real man has to take responsibility for his mistakes." Chen Fan was so touched. What a good man!

Chen Fan was utterly shameless. He had clearly put all his money in his trouser pockets, yet he kept trying to pull money out of his jacket pocket. As if he could pull out a single coin.

After carefully observing how much money Elfman had, Chen Fan used the calculating power he had once possessed as a Level 5 and only stopped when Elfman had spent his very last coin.

Nor did Chen Fan ever mention how one could become more of a man. Frankly speaking, he got everything he wanted to know and needed without spending a cent or lifting a finger.

When he finally said goodbye to Elfman, Elfman still looked at Chen Fan with tears of gratitude in his eyes.

Chen Fan could not help sighing. "Sigh... this poor kid. Was I too cruel?" After saying that, he let out a lewd chuckle.

At that moment, the poor fellow who had only just returned after vomiting saw this scene and promptly threw up again.

Business Opens

Early in the morning, Chen Fan got up unusually early and paced back and forth in the guild hall, leaving everyone in the guild deeply curious. By now, everyone knew Chen Fan was famously lazy. Usually, he just sat beside the guild master and never moved around.

Why was he suddenly being so diligent today? Still, no one had the nerve to ask.

Suddenly, Natsu ran over to Chen Fan's side. The people in the guild saw this and thought, Sure enough, this reckless idiot really can't hide what he's thinking. He says whatever comes to mind. But they also wanted to hear what Chen Fan and Natsu would say, so they all pricked up their ears and eavesdropped.

They heard Natsu say happily, "Chen Fan, are you finally going to play with us today?"

Bang!

A group of people collapsed to the floor. After struggling back up, they thought, Natsu, no matter how dumb you are, you can't possibly be this dumb, can you? There's no way he'd be playing with you guys. Chen Fan's personality of refusing to play with children had already sunk deeply into everyone's minds.

Chen Fan was getting irritated too. Why haven't the goods I ordered yesterday arrived yet? He waved Natsu away and said impatiently, "Go, go, go. Children shouldn't pry into adults' affairs. Go play in the mud."

"What's with that? Hmph, you're a child too," Natsu retorted angrily. However, he did not start a fight with Chen Fan, because Chen Fan's frailty was now famous throughout the guild.

At that moment, a voice came from the guild entrance. "Excuse me, is Mr. Chen Fan here? Your custom-made items have arrived."

Hearing that, Chen Fan no longer cared what Natsu was saying. He ran straight to the entrance and asked the deliveryman, "I'm Chen Fan. Have all the things I ordered arrived?"
