Elf Summoner

Lin Xiao packed up a simple package in a very short time and got on the passenger ship leaving Ludao the next day.

Deer Island, just like the name, is just a poor island far away from the mainland.

Maybe after being isolated from the bustling city for a long time, Kashima actually has a sense of isolation.It is very poor here, but the people on the island do not feel poor. They live in a corner and rarely even think about "going out".

Even Dad, who wholeheartedly summoned a C-level elf and wanted to become a real elf summoner, his real purpose was just to become Kashima's "master".

As for going to a big city to develop, this is something my father has never thought about.

The island has its own education system. After Lin Xiao successfully completed all the schools on the island, her father never mentioned asking her to take the exam elsewhere.

Lin Xiao didn't take the initiative to mention it.

Because it doesn't matter.

In her previous life, she ended her life with a hopeless attitude. Although she has gained a new life now, it does not mean that she is full of hope for the world.The high education and high income in her previous life did not free her from the pain of her original family, nor did it allow her to gain a happy love. So what is the point of repeating the tragedy of her previous life in this life!

So Lin Xiao was willing to stay quietly on Ludao. If it hadn't been for what happened to her father, she might have lived here forever and lived a plain and ordinary life.

Lin Xiao looked at the small island that was becoming blurry and almost disappearing, and said goodbye to it in his heart.

The biggest connection between her and this island is her father. Now that her father is gone, she no longer has much nostalgia for this island.

The ship docked at the port, but this was not Lin Xiao's final destination. It took another half a day to ride in the car. By the time we finally arrived in Yangcheng, it was already dark.

Along the way, Lin Xiao had been silently observing, or in other words, searching for elements related to elves.It's too easy.

——The child held by her mother holds an elf doll in her hand;

——The LED display outside the mall is playing this season’s professional elf competition in a loop;

——Two little girls passing by were excitedly discussing their favorite professional summoners, as if they were crazy about chasing stars;

——Even the glass of mineral water Lin Xiao bought was endorsed by the Elf Summoner...

If Lin Xiao, who originally lived in Ludao, did not have a deep feeling, then when he really set foot in the city and came into contact with all this, Lin Xiao sighed that this world was too similar and yet too different from his previous life.

After finding a small hotel to settle down, Lin Xiao began to sort out his current thoughts.

In fact, everything is very clear. The first thing she needs to determine is whether she has the ability to summon spirits. Only after confirming this can she talk about other things.

Because his father is an elf summoner, Lin Xiao has a little understanding of the criteria for becoming an elf summoner.

First, you must be mentally qualified.

Mental power is a very uncertain thing. Some people's mental power is so weak that it cannot even be detected by a detector. If you want to summon elves, your mental power level must reach C level or above.

Secondly, you must have the ability to perceive elves.

This was an even more unsettling thing. Lin Xiao searched for a long time on the Internet, and the explanations were all vague. It sounded like he needed to establish contact with elves. There were a lot of soft articles on the Internet about how to sense elves. Xiao's feeling is very metaphysical.

But to become an Elf Summoner, you must meet all two requirements, and you can't do it without even one!This may be the reason why elf summoners are so expensive now. After all, rare things are more valuable, Lin Xiao sighed.

If you want to test these things, you can only go to the Elf Association, but this is a national institution. People get off work early at this time, and Lin Xiao can only wait until tomorrow.

Lin Xiao checked the working hours of the Yangcheng Elf Association, and counted the time the next day to arrive at the entrance of the association.

To Lin Xiao's expectation, the Elf Association was not a simple building, it was even a complex of buildings, separated by towering alloy walls with a sense of technology.

There are cars and people coming and going here, and the atmosphere about elves is particularly strong.You can see some summoners walking in with elves who are unwilling to return to the summoning space. Some summoners are wearing normal clothes, while some summoners are wearing uniform long blue cloaks.Lin Xiao glanced at it and saw the pattern of the Elf Association on the cloak. ?

Lin Xiao sighed. Yesterday when she was taking the bus, she was surprised why she didn't see any elf summoners. Now that she came here today, she understood. Looking at the luxury cars parked in front of the association, all the elf summoners were rich people. How could there be any? Too poor to take the bus...

After sighing for a while, Lin Xiao followed the summoners and saw them take out a card and swipe it against the access control. The card machine emitted a blue light and let them in. When it was Lin Xiao's turn, she was naturally blocked. .

The security guard next to her glanced at her and asked, "What are you here for?"

Lin Xiao: "I'm here to test the summoning talent."

Lin Xiao looked at the tight guards and thought it would take a lot of effort to get in. But after she said this, the security guard nodded expressionlessly and pointed to the building on the right indifferently: "Turn right to the Medical Department." Then he He opened the door and let her in.

So simple?

After Lin Xiao went in, he thought about it and felt that it was not strange. It was probably because there were so many people coming to test the summoning talent every day that even the security guards were not surprised.

After arriving at the medical department, just like normal hospitalization registration, Lin Xiao chose to test the elf summoning talent on the self-service machine at the door.

Then the self-service machine popped up the payment window, three hundred.

Lin Xiao:......

Oh haha!I didn't even know if I had the summoning talent, but I spent three hundred oceans... This is undoubtedly adding insult to injury to an already poor family!

Lin Xiao gritted his teeth and paid the money, then went to the testing area with the list spit out by the machine.She was shocked by the long queue!

so many people? ? !

One test costs three hundred, and there are so many people rushing to give money to the Elf Association?But Lin Xiao thought that she was also one of the people rushing to send money, so she silently shut up.

After queuing for more than an hour, when the call machine called Lin Xiao, she couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

My legs are sore from standing.

Pushing the door open and walking in, the inspector in a white coat glanced at her and confirmed, "Lin Xiao?"

Seeing Lin Xiao nodding, she stood up and walked inside, "Come with me!"

Lin Xiao followed her to a huge machine, watching the man in the white coat press and operate many buttons in a daze, and then took a helmet.Lin Xiao could tell that this was probably to test her mental strength.

The white coat said: "Sit over here." She pointed to the chair next to her.

Lin Xiao sat over like a manipulated puppet, and then was put on a helmet, with several threads of unknown purpose attached to the arteries of his wrists.

The white coat shouted, "Close your eyes." Lin Xiao's eyes closed subconsciously, and then he felt the helmet tighten.After about a minute, the helmet was loosened, but the man in the white coat gave no further instructions.

Lin Xiao was at a loss for a moment. She waited for a while and saw that the white coat had not expressed anything yet, so she couldn't help but ask: "Are you ready?"

The white coat seemed to have reacted. With a cry, he removed the thread from Lin Xiao's wrist and took off the helmet.

Lin Xiao took a breath of fresh air, turned around and asked, "Um...are you qualified?"

White coat: "Qualified..." She subconsciously replied, paused, and added, "It's very good."

She pointed to the data displayed on the machine and said, "Your mental power has reached the rare S level."

This was the reason why she was stunned just now. You must know that she is in the medical department, and there are so many people coming for testing every day. It takes only a year to reach S-level mental power at the initial value. The mental power of those professional summoners is no more than this, and They are all trained.

Lin Xiao was also shocked by this data, and then there was a progress bar in his mind: becoming an Elf Summoner reached 1/2.

"S level, is it rare?"

The white coat glanced at her, "Of course it's rare. This is still your initial data. If you can really become a summoner, your data will increase in the future..."

Of course, this was on the premise that she could become an Elf Summoner. Thinking about it, her eyes lit up and her eyes changed when she looked at Lin Xiao. She said excitedly: "Come with me."

Seeing that her attitude was finally different from that of a screw working on an assembly line, Lin Xiao followed her silently.

It was another machine, and now Lin Xiao was very calm about being manipulated by the white coat.She lay in an instrument like a CT machine and closed her eyes as directed.

It turned out that nothing happened as she imagined, and a picture appeared in her mind involuntarily.

Blue sky, white clouds, forest...

Is it that simple?Lin Xiao is not unconscious. She clearly remembers that this test is about the perception of elves. Where are the elves?

While Lin Xiao was thinking desperately about the elves, "herself" in her mind also walked into the forest. Gradually, she actually "saw" the creatures moving in the forest.

There are big-eared squirrels holding pine cones in the trees, chimpanzees with braids, bees as tall as half a person...

When the scene ended, Lin Xiao sat up in confusion, feeling that a long time had passed.Actually only 1 minute.The white coat asked her expectantly:

"Did you see anything?"

Lin Xiao: "I saw a lot of animals..."

Sensitive, and not too low!The white coat asked excitedly: "Tell me about it!"

Lin Xiao told her what she remembered, five times in a row, and then she stopped. The white coat looked at her and asked, "Do you not remember?"

Lin Xiao could only nod.But the white coat seemed to understand. She filled out the form excitedly and said: "Perception level A!"

Lin Xiao asked: "Am I qualified? Do I have the talent for summoning?"

The white coat detected a highly talented summoner seedling, and waved to her as if she saw this month's bonus. She filled out the form, tore it off, stamped it, and handed it to Lin Xiao.

"What do you think?" There was a smile on her face, which was in stark contrast to her previous indifference.

"You can buy summoning tickets in the lobby on the first floor. Once you summon your first elf, you can come to the association to register as a summoner!"

Lin Xiao held the list in hand. When she reached the first floor, she was still a little confused. Everything went so smoothly, which made her feel unreal.

But poverty soon made her realize what reality is in the world.

She handed the qualified form to the staff member who sold the summoning coupons. The person took a look at it, and after checking that it was correct, he said expressionlessly:

"Want a gray summoning ticket?"

"two thousand."

Lin Xiao suddenly opened her mouth: "...What???"

Why don't you go grab it?

Perhaps because Lin Xiao was stunned for too long, the staff member looked at her from the corner of his eye and repeated impatiently, "Two thousand."

Lin Xiao had a sullen face and reluctantly handed the card out.

The staff swiped the card on the POS machine, opened an order, handed her the order, card and gray summoning coupon, and then shouted back with an indifferent expression, "Next one."

Lin Xiao walked out of the gate of the Elf Association, and the sun shone on her face. She touched the bank card and gray summoning coupon in her trouser pocket, and for a moment she did not feel the joy of becoming an Elf Summoner.

——The money in my hand was suddenly reduced by half. The speed of burning money is so shocking!

If this gray summoning coupon didn't summon a good-quality battle elf, would she still have the money to buy another summoning coupon?

Lin Xiao trembled all over and quickly shook her head to get rid of this thought... The reality was too cruel, she had better think about it!

Lin Xiao returned to the hotel as quickly as possible, locked the door, and then took out the gray summoning coupon that she had spent a huge sum of two thousand dollars to buy.

After careful inspection, to be honest, the summoning coupon is not paper, but a card with a special material. Lin Xiao has investigated it. The official statement is that the elf summoning coupon is similar to the "door" that connects the human world and the elf world.

Lin Xiao held the hard card but did not use it immediately.After thinking for a moment, Lin Xiao put down the summoning ticket and took out his mobile phone.

Search for "necessary preparations before summoning elves", and a lot of related content will pop up.Lin Xiao opened them one by one and looked at them with a serious expression.

Among them, the highest likes on a related topic said this:

"Thank you for the invitation. I am a contracted summoner in a certain elf competition arena. I have been in the industry for almost ten years. The highest elf level in the contract has reached S level. I should still be qualified to answer this question. Of course, elf summoning tickets cannot be used casually. You must be fully prepared before using and calling. For example, after taking a bath and washing your hair, it is best to do a period of yoga meditation to maintain inner peace; when calling the elves, you must sincerely pray to the god of elves and the ancestors and elders at home, and then Chant the name of your "dream spirit" in your heart, at least ten times. Through personal experience, this can at least increase your probability of summoning a high-quality spirit by [-]%."

After Lin Xiao read it, she thought that all these fancy actions looked familiar to her. Later, she thought that the preparation process for people to worship Bodhisattvas in previous lives was a bit similar to this...

As a result, when I clicked on the comment on that floor, a group of people below shouted that the floor owner was "professional". What the floor host said made sense!

After turning around, Lin Xiao discovered that "bathing and changing clothes" and "burning incense and praying" were simply the basic exercises for summoning spirits, not to mention the dazzling and exciting operations that followed.

Is it so mystical?

Lin Xiao believes that as a 21st century citizen who grew up with scientific education, she should first think about issues from a scientific perspective.

She has learned that elves and humans have always been in a cooperative and mutually beneficial relationship.Humans use elves to develop the world's entertainment industry and drive the economy. The core purpose of elves making contracts with humans and participating in leagues with humans is to gain faith value, which is human love for them. This love can accelerate their growth.

Don't be afraid of having a purpose, just be afraid that you have nothing else to ask for.

Lin Xiao was a professional agent in her previous life. In her eyes, what it means to gain faith and love, translated in the most straightforward language, is, "for the sake of being famous", or in other words, "for the sake of attracting fans."

This is easy!This was what she did in her previous life!Now it's just a matter of replacing the artists she brought in her previous life with elves.

Although it is definitely more difficult to bring elves, because artists with good conditions are still available, but high-quality and rare elves are hard to come by... But in the end, these things are not the same as the medicine.

After thinking about it, Lin Xiao felt a little more confident about summoning elves.

She first went to the bathroom to take a bath, thought about it, and then followed the advice on the Internet and meditated.

Yes, although Lin Xiao thinks these methods are very metaphysical, but the summoners on the Internet are so unified, maybe they are actually useful?

Anyway, she is making a desperate move now. She only has about two thousand dollars left. If she doesn't summon the ideal elf this time and buys a gray summoning ticket, she won't even be able to afford food...

After making all preparations, Lin Xiao sandwiched the gray summoning ticket between his index and middle fingers, recited the familiar summoning process again, and then closed his eyes heavily.

If you don't succeed, you will become benevolent!

rushed!
