Chapter 046 Mr. Orochi's Gift
After the goblins returned to the sacred tree, they headed straight for the school cafeteria.
Magic practice is a very physically demanding activity. From noon to dusk, the little ones were all so hungry that their stomachs were growling.
As soon as they entered the door and smelled the aroma of food, they couldn't help but rush to the long table.
However, the adult goblins insisted that they wash their hands first, otherwise they could not sit at the table to eat.
As a result, a long line formed at the washbasin next to the cafeteria.
After washing his hands, Shu Li flapped his wings lightly and flew towards the long table listlessly.
"Hey, Sperian, how was your first day of magic class?"
Hearing this, Shu Li turned to look at the table next to him, and saw a young elf with golden curly hair, showing a row of white teeth and looking at him with a bright smile.
It's Carola.
Jingjing is a top student.
Shu Li replied weakly, "A little bit tired."
Carolla saw that he looked depressed and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.
This is more than a little tiring!
As everyone knows, Sperian has awakened all types of magic. Other fairies only need to focus on one or two types, but he has to take into account all six types. As for the remaining dark type, he does not need to practice it for the time being because he is too young.
In short, he has to work harder than others to become an excellent magician.
This was a big challenge for the five-year-old elf.
Carola awakened the water and wood elements. Practicing both elements would be exhausting, not to mention that Sperian practiced six elements.
Look at the little guy, he is as wilted as a piece of wilted grass, so pitiful.
Shu Li received the other party's sympathetic eyes, pursed his lips, looked around, and did not see Jingjing, the top student, so he asked, "Where is Kumandi?"
"He..." Carolla spread her hands, "He went to the commercial street this afternoon and hasn't come back yet. Maybe he was delayed by something."
Anyway, there are small restaurants in the commercial street, and you can fill your stomach by paying some gold coins.
Shu Li was slightly disappointed.
I had wanted to ask him about magic.
Since he was busy, he had to talk about it tomorrow. Now he had to fill his stomach and restore his energy and strength.
He slowly flew over to the goblins' long table, pulled out a chair and sat down, only to find that Budno had almost finished his entire plate.
"Budno, eat slowly," Shu Li reminded him. The fat boy was eating at such a fast pace that he might end up breaking his stomach.
"Yeah!" Budno nodded, stuffing small fruits into his mouth and eating them voraciously.
He was starving.
In order to lose weight, he only ate a plate of fruit at noon. However, he didn't expect that practicing magic in the afternoon would consume so much energy. Before the sun even went down, he was already starving.
After struggling to get through the get out of class, he was the first to rush into the cafeteria, the first to wash his hands, and the first to sit at the table to eat.
To make up for it, he decided to have two large plates for dinner.
Shu Li couldn't persuade the little fat boy; instead, his relish for eating piqued his appetite. He picked up a small red fruit, stuffed it into his mouth, and bit it hard. The sweet and sour juice overflowed in his mouth, whetting his appetite.
He no longer cared about being reserved and ate heartily.
After eating ten small red fruits, pick up the scones and eat them with nectar.
The nectar was as sweet as ever, and the scones were crispy and soft, with a strong milky aroma. I ate five of them one after another, and finally felt half full.
He took a breath and slowed down his eating.
After finishing the last bird egg, Desio licked his lips contentedly and burped. He glanced at Budno and saw that he had finished half of the second plate. He frowned and reached out to move the plate away.
"Ah..." Budno puffed up his cheeks, looking bewildered. Where was the fruit? Where was the large fruit he had specifically asked the adult goblin for?
Looking around, he soon found that his big fruit had moved in front of Desio. He swallowed the food in his mouth and widened his brown eyes.
"My Guoguo!"
Discio asked expressionlessly, "How many plates have you eaten?"
Budno was stunned for a moment, then raised a finger guiltily: "This is my first set."
Dixio pointed at Shu Li's plate and coldly exposed his lie: "There are only two tartar fruits in the first plate."
Tata fruits are large in size, sweet and crispy in taste, and easy to fill you up. Usually only two tata fruits are given in a meal. If you want to eat more, you can only ask adult fairies for them.
Given Budno's greedy nature, he would definitely eat the tartar fruit first when he started eating.
And now, he has three on his plate.
It was obvious that this was the extra food he asked for from the adult goblin after he finished the first plate of food.
Budno wanted to refute, but he couldn't find any reason and could only stare blankly.
Angel finished his scones, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and said to Dizio with a smile, "Don't be too hard on him! He's used up so much energy today, it's okay for him to eat a little more."
When Budno heard Angel speaking for him, he nodded vigorously in agreement.
Discio had a stern face and remained indifferent.
Angel added, "Eat a full dinner, so you don't have to sneak in snacks at night."
Budno's face changed and he stared at Angel's smiling face in disbelief.
"Snacks?" Disio sneered, "Where are the snacks?"
Budno hesitated to speak, but Angel kindly replied, "Last week when we were shopping in the mall together, he bought a bag of animal crackers."
"Angel!" Budno's face flushed. How could anyone betray a brother like this?
Angel received his resentful look, scratched his silver hair, and said apologetically: "Oh, sorry, I accidentally let it slip."
Disio ruthlessly handed the remaining fruit on the plate to the adult goblin.
I have no sympathy for a guy who has no self-control. He actually eats late-night snacks. Is he trying to lose weight?
Budno was dejected and pointed pitifully at himself.
Shu Li ate fruit while watching the show.
Five years later, Budno still hadn't lost weight because he occasionally cheated on his food. Angel, a sly fellow, would inadvertently tip off Dessio about his cheating. When Dessio learned of this, his next move was to confiscate Budno's snacks.
After the three friends finished interacting, Shu Li spoke at the right time: "Budno, are you full?"
"Burp - I'm full." Budno touched his slightly bulging belly.
In fact, he was full a long time ago, but he was greedy and couldn't help eating more.
Shu Li said, "After I finish eating, do you want to go to the commercial district together?"
The best way to keep the little fat boy from thinking about food is to divert his attention.
Sure enough, when he heard about going to the commercial district, Budno's eyes lit up: "Let's go!"
Disceo and Angel immediately expressed their desire to go together.
Shu Li quickened her eating pace.
"Sperian, what are you going to buy in the commercial district?" Angel asked curiously.
Shu Li peeled the eggshells expertly. "Go to the Courier Station and send a gift to Mr. Orochi."
Over the past five years, he has kept in touch with Mr. Snake, sending him letters every now and then.
Of course, Mr. Orochi also gave back some strange things.
Yesterday afternoon he received a large piece of transparent crystal ore, which looked very valuable. Today he was going to give it to Mr. Orochi in return and go to an appraisal institute in the commercial district to verify the quality and use of the crystal.
"Ohhh, Mr. Orochi is so nice!" Angel exclaimed enviously.
Five years ago, Sperian was taken to the Fairy Forest by the Big Stupid Bird, where he unexpectedly met Mr. Orochi, and they formed a deep friendship. They often exchanged gifts, which made Angel want to make a Fairy friend.
Unfortunately, he is still young and cannot explore the Fairy Forest alone.
Shu Li also thinks Mr. Orochi is a very nice person.
He didn't expect that a chance encounter would lead him to become friends with a giant demon snake.
Mr. Orochi is not at all as cold-blooded and stingy as other fairies are rumored to be. He is gentle, generous and magnanimous, and every gift given to him is very precious.
Some of them Shu Li had never seen before. They were said to be specialties from certain countries in mainland China.
I don’t know how Mr. Orochi got them, but Shu Li was very happy to receive the gifts and would always return them solemnly.
At first, he always sent red crystal flower seeds. Later, Mr. Orochi wrote back, saying that it had been upgraded to the seventh level and did not need the seeds for the time being, so he asked him to keep them for his own use.
Shu Li felt bad about it, so he replaced it with Yuexin Stone, Sun Gold Grass, etc.
The big snake wrote back, telling him that there was no need to send such expensive gifts every time. The things brought out from the gestation room were treasures bestowed by the God of Light to the fairy cubs. If one was used, there would be one less. When he wanted to use them in the future, there would not be enough and he would regret it.
Shu Li was touched by Mr. Orochi's thoughtfulness, so the next time she sent a gift, she chose some ordinary things, such as various delicious fruits from the fairy orchard.
Every time he had a gathering session, he would get the fruits of his labor, which he would save and store in his storage ring.
The storage ring had excellent freshness-preserving properties; fresh fruit stored in it wouldn't spoil for ten days or half a month. When he'd accumulated a certain amount, he'd go to the shopping district and buy a beautiful box, put the fruit in it, pack it securely, and then go to the courier station to mail the package.
After sending the fruit for the first time, Mr. Orochi quickly replied, saying that he liked the fruit grown by the fairies very much.
Seeing that it liked it, Shu Li often sent it fruits.
However, he doesn't plan to send any fruit today.
The crystal ore that Mr. Orochi gave him was very valuable, so he had to give a more unique gift in return.
After picking and choosing in the storage ring, he actually found a good thing.
A toothpick needle.
Three years ago at Midsummer’s Day, the Dragon King Hamon happened to be a guest in the Elf Kingdom.
That was the first time Shu Li saw the legendary Western dragon.
Its entire body is silver-white, and its scales shine like mirrors in the sun. Its body is not as bloated as shown in the movies, but rather slender and graceful. Its pterosaur-like wings are dozens of meters wide when spread out, and a slight flap can bring up a terrible hurricane.
The dragons are so huge that they can easily carry three adults on their backs.
Compared to the dragon, the little goblin is no more than an ant.
Fortunately, Harmon will transform.
Before entering the Elf Capital, he transformed into a handsome silver-haired young man.
He was very curious about Shu Li, the young elf who was also blessed by the Elf King, so he went to chat with him and gave him many gifts.
The dragon clan is a well-known collector and has a special liking for shiny things. Most of the gifts they give are gems, gold and crystal ores.
Shu Li was embarrassed to accept it, but Harmon insisted. After several attempts to push it back and forth, he finally accepted it after the Elf King gave the order.
Fortunately, he had a storage ring with a huge space that could hold all that gold and silver.
While sorting things out, he found a long, thin piece of metal and curiously asked Harmon what it was.
Harmon was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "It's the dragon's tooth pick."
Accidentally, the toothpick was mixed into the pile of gems and given to the goblin as a gift.
Shu Li wanted to return it to him, but he refused, saying that there was no point in taking back a gift once it had been given away.
There was no choice but Shu Li accepted it and kept it in the storage ring.
Today, when he was choosing a gift for Mr. Orochi, he saw a toothpick and thought it would be a suitable gift.
After large monsters eat, a lot of residue will be left in the gaps between their teeth. If it is not cleaned for a long time, it will easily breed bacteria and cause tooth decay. In order to keep the mouth clean, it will be cleaned carefully.
Most monsters just break branches to deal with it, but dragons are more particular and will specially make solid and durable metal toothpicks.
Mr. Snake has a lot of teeth, so he will definitely like this toothpicking needle.
After finishing his meal, Shu Li left the cafeteria with three of his friends. When passing by the playground, he saw four familiar big fat birds.
"Wow, it's a big fat bird!" Budno shouted loudly.
"Chirp, chirp~~" The Taganga bird with fluffy white feathers heard the sound and greeted the little elves happily.
Shu Li flapped his wings, flew towards the big fat birds, and rubbed against them affectionately.
These four big fat birds are Doris’s little birdies.
When Shu Li was traveling in the forest, he stayed in Doris's bird's nest.
That night, he, Doris, and her four chicks experienced a life-and-death struggle and formed an indissoluble bond with them.
The fairies thanked the big fat bird for protecting the fairy cubs and invited it and its children to settle in the sacred tree.
The big fat bird readily agreed.
As a low-level magical beast, it is very dangerous to live on the edge of the forest. Moving to the sacred tree can not only obtain some good resources, but also allow the baby birds to grow up safely.
Five years passed in a flash, and the four little birdies grew up quickly. Now they are as round as snowballs, just like their mother.
"Chirp?" One of the fat birds asked Shu Li where he was going.
Shu Li often communicates with them and can roughly understand bird language.
"To the business district," he replied.
“Chirp, chirp!”
Four big fat birds lined up in a row, spread their wings, revealing their strong backs, and made an inviting gesture, indicating that they were being taken to the business district.
Shu Li hesitated for a moment and agreed.
The big fat bird flies much faster than them.
Angel and Budno cheered and flew skillfully onto the back of the big fat bird, burying their heads in its soft feathers.
After Shuli climbed onto a large bird, Dizio slowly climbed onto the back of one of the remaining birds. Like Angel and the others, he happily rolled around in the fluffy bird feathers.
"Chiu——"
The four big fat birds said goodbye to Sif, flapped their wings, quickly rose into the air, and left the school playground in the blink of an eye.
