Little Elves: Waaagh / The Captain's Survival Instinct

"Phew... Where am I?"

"Besides..."

Talking to herself like this, Xiao Cui looked at the lushness of the tree leaves, then looked up at the sun in the sky...

"The leaves are denser to the north... Is this the Southern Hemisphere?"

Hesitating, Xiao Cui observed the marks on the ground not far from the meadow. "A dried-up riverbed... no, it's a branch line. This used to be a tributary of a river."

"The main channel is over there."

Having quickly determined the location of the nearby river, Xiao Cui, while observing her surroundings, began to move towards the river under the cover of the trees.

If you're looking for a way to return to the normal world in the wild, the first step is definitely to find a river; once you find a river, you can find people.

If there really were people in this world...

"..." Then, before Xiao Cui actually reached the riverbank, she was discovered... by some kind of creature summoned by her previous "call".

Although it's called a "summoning," it actually flew all the way here.

Xiao Cui's eyes widened immediately.

Because, judging from the direction of the "river" she had identified, several Little Sprite flew over quickly and waved at her.

"Chirp? Chirp chirp? (Boss? What are you doing here?)"

"Chirp chirp! (Okay!)"

"..." In that instant, Xiao Cui realized where she was.

The supreme fairy king has arrived in her kingdom...

Fairyland.

Chapter 533 Little Sprite: Waaagh

"Then what?"

Lantian Zhu asked this question, as she ate her candy as always, curious about what would happen next in Xiao Cui's dream.

That was probably a dream, but it probably wasn't a dream either.

This is indeed contradictory, because Xiao Cui's body was White-White on the bed, and didn't suddenly disappear anywhere... so it was a dream.

But Xiao Cui said it wasn't a dream, because she did feel pain in the "dream," and... Xiao Cui's judgment was quite plausible.

Thinking this, Cong Yu looked at Yaochuan Guang...

This idiot's judgment is not so reliable, because she also considers the [Monster (herself)] inside her as her second personality.

If the Doctor and Cong Yu hadn't leaked some information, Yaochuan Guang might have remained oblivious to the truth for the rest of his life.

Wang, Menggu Menggu.

In response, Yaochuan Guang noticed Cong Yu's gaze. She blinked and tilted her head, indicating that she didn't know why Cong Yu was looking at her like that.

Could it be because the world opened up by his "Black Hollow Seven Bites" has similarities to Xiao Cui's world?

Yaochuan Guang, the proponent of the Second Personality Hypothesis, speculated about Cong Yu's meaning in this way.

However, based solely on Xiao Cui's own account, it cannot be definitively proven that Xiao Cui actually went to the Fairyland... After all, people can make mistakes sometimes.

What truly convinced everyone was Xiao Cui's spirit of seeking truth, which led her to summon the Little Sprite for confirmation.

"Chirping away (I did see the boss yesterday)"

Xiao Cui said that's what the Little Sprite said.

As for the others who wanted to know what happened next, Xiao Cui recalled, "Then, I was led by the Little Sprite to their lakeside."

"That's a very beautiful lake... It's very large, with a wide surface area and crystal-clear water; you can see the bottom if you look down."

Xiao Cui couldn't really tell whether the lake water was completely clear or like a huge sapphire embedded in this Fairyland.

It's not that I can't remember, it's that I can't explain it clearly...

"There are many flowers and plants that we don't have in our world by the lake, and the trees are also species I can't identify... The colorful flowers bloom in unison."

As Xiao Cui spoke, she paused for a moment, then described, "Countless 'colors' and 'vibrant' high-contrast colors... it's almost unnaturally beautiful."

Upon hearing this description, Yaochuan Guang almost immediately felt that it was very familiar... as if he had heard it somewhere before.

No, it's more like "I feel like I've seen it somewhere before".

Countless vibrant colors...

As for Yaochuan Guang, who was still thinking this and couldn't quite grasp the concept, Cong Yu simply said it for her, "Warcraft."

Ah yes, yes, yes, it's Warcraft!

Yaochuan Guang's eyes lit up, and she immediately felt clever for even thinking of that... Then she looked.

It seems like everyone thought of this, and they all acted as if it were perfectly natural, as if it wasn't a surprising discovery at all.

"That's normal."

Cong Yu explained simply, poking the Little Sprite who was lying on the table eating Yaochuan Guang's version of Chips Ahoy!: "Xiao Cui said that the magic concentration in Fairyland is very high..."

"The ultimate positive magic emits a complex and vibrant array of colors... The colors of magical beasts are merely influenced by this magic."

Oh, I see...

That's true, it's perfectly normal for flowers and plants to be colorful.

Yaochuan Guang nodded to indicate that he understood.

Xiao Cui blinked and continued talking about her "dream," describing, "And then..."

"In the middle of the lake is an island, and on the island grows a large tree covered in pure white flower buds... as white as the clouds."

As Xiao Cui said this, she then grabbed the Little Sprite in her hand. "Then, when I arrived, I happened to see a Little Sprite being born from an open flower bud."

"..." Oh, this setting is quite interesting.

Cong Yu thought to herself and nodded slightly... Many myths contain similar stories, and the idea of Little Sprite born from flowers is a common setting.

However, it is clear that people's understanding of this aspect is not very deep.

"So, the Little Sprite are actually plants...?"

Yaochuan Guang raised this question, and then her fingers were grabbed by the sullen Little Sprite, who waved her little fists in protest.

Clearly, the Little Sprite was very dissatisfied with Yaochuan Guang's claim that "Little Sprite are actually plants"... and was extremely unconvinced.

"Huh? So it really is an animal?"

Yaochuan Guang changed his tune, but to his surprise, the little Little Sprite stood with their hands on their hips, expressing the same disdain for this explanation: "Chirp--"

This time, Xiao Cui didn't even need to translate; everyone knew what the Little Sprite meant—it was something like, "[No, that's not right--]".

Huh? That's neither a plant nor an animal, what exactly is Little Sprite?

Could it be...?

"Is Little Sprite just Little Sprite...?"

Lantian Zhu spoke silently, while Cong Yu, looking at the motionless Little Sprite, inexplicably began to realize something; "So, your true form is a flower... and the Little Sprite's form is pollen?"

Upon hearing Cong Yu's words, the Little Sprite exchanged glances, then began chattering amongst themselves, hopping and skipping towards Cong Yu.

Although I don't quite understand, but...

"I understand. You said you're not a plant, so you're a fruiting body or mycelium... a mushroom, is that correct?"

"..." Yaochuan Guang was speechless when Cong Yu spoke, and now he laughed even harder, "Haha, Cong Yu- chan, you big idiot! How could Little Sprite be a mushroom?!"

The Little Sprite can run and jump.

It was a bit strange to say it was a plant before, and now it's even more impossible... As expected, Cong Yu- chan isn't very smart.

They often say I'm stupid.

However, as soon as Yaochuan Guang finished speaking, the Little Sprite cheered excitedly: "Chirp chirp--"

"Chirp! Chirp!"

Then, Xiao Cui finally had a chance to translate what the Little Sprite said, "They said, Brother Cong Yu, you guessed right..."

"They are Little Sprite that grow from the 'Fairy Fungus Tree' of each lake, used for hunting and defense, hence their mushroom-like appearance."

"..." Yaochuan Guang: "Quack?"

It's actually true?!

In response to Yaochuan Guang's strange cry, Cong Yu laughed and tapped her head, "Idiot, you idiot actually called me an idiot."

Lantian Zhu: "Idiot."

Xiao Cui: "Sister Yaochuan, you idiot."

Yaochuan Guang: QAQ

--

Mushrooms consist of two parts: mycelium and fruiting body. The former can be simply understood as the mushroom's root system... a nutrient organ used to absorb nutrients.

The fruiting body is the reproductive organ, which is the edible stipe or cap of the mushroom, and it releases spores to reproduce.

So...

Oh my god, you green-skinned orc!

Chapter 534 The Captain's Will to Survive

What is the meaning of killing itself?

It's not simply about creating sin and killing... at least Cong Yu won't feel happy or relieved because of it.

If we have to put it this way, it might be something like, "I hope that people with this level of intellectual disability will never appear in front of me again."

It was a kill imbued with a sense of poignant emotion.

Killing is obviously more

It's to achieve a certain purpose, to convey a certain attitude... to put it simply, it's deterrence.

If we divide a person's "damn it" index into four levels.

So, Cong Yu would usually take out the latter two tiers of guys, but if it's for some kind of deterrence...

They only eliminate those at the very bottom tier.

This is what is known as making an example of someone to warn others.

Such methods have long been used by cabinet officials to perfection... so they are naturally aware of what's going on.

It's understandable that this "killing" was, for them, a similar act of making an example of someone to deter others.

They never imagined that one day they would turn into chickens.

It's not very beautiful, but it's very intimidating.

"..."

"Why?! So why?!"

The woman stared incredulously at the Crimson Crystal hovering in mid-air. "I gave you so much, didn't I?! I've already given you a ton of money, haven't I?!"

This money was already one or two tenths of her savings.

It would take a lot of painstaking effort to bleed this country dry again to reclaim it... Isn't that enough?

In response, Hong and the captain exchanged a glance.

At this moment, besides knowing that the woman opposite her was the Minister of Economic Revitalization, Hong had no idea why she wanted to kill her.

After all, Hong had already returned to the state she was in when she was working before.

Since they said they'd kill, then let's just kill...

You accuse me of indiscriminately killing innocent people, but I didn't kill indiscriminately. I was ordered to do it by others. My heart is colder than if I had killed fish in a supermarket for ten years.

In response, the captain simply stated, "Because you've embezzled far too much... even more than the Minister of Finance."

They've sucked so much blood and they still won't kill you; you can live as long as you pay them.
