Chapter 39: Dwarfs
Chi Yizhen wiped the nonexistent blood from his nose with his hand while frantically asking himself, "Game Game! Are you sure this is a dwarf? Why is it different from the video footage you showed me before?"
Chi Yizhen certainly didn't choose the dwarf elves lightly; he'd conducted extensive research before arriving. All intelligent species in this world possess extraordinary powers. Unlike humans, who require training or medication to acquire these powers, all other intelligent species possess these powers naturally and unchangeably. Tree spirits are plant-based, and their extraordinary powers tend to be healing, as well as the ability to manipulate plants and create small elves from their leaves and flowers. However, these elves have low IQs and, like tree spirits, essentially no offensive capabilities. Beautiful and useful, yet weak, this is the fundamental reason why tree spirits are captured and enslaved by humans.
Dwarfs, on the other hand, are all-around creatures capable of both offense and defense, as well as auxiliary skills. For attack, they rely mainly on claws and weapons. For defense, they are tough and resistant to attack, and can even dig holes and build fortresses. As for auxiliary skills, dwarfs have the innate ability to turn ingredients into delicious food. The food they create will taste delicious to everyone, regardless of race or taste. While this seems unscientific, it instantly makes sense when you think of it as their extraordinary ability!
More importantly, the food made sincerely by the dwarfs will more or less contain some effects, such as healing, adding mana, adding blood, etc. The specific effects are related to the ingredients used by the dwarfs and how much supernatural power they use. Of course, the effect is definitely not as good as that of regular medicine. If a seriously injured patient wants to rely on the food of the dwarfs to recover, he may not be able to do it even if he is too full.
To sum up, the dwarfs are mediocre in all aspects, but they lack nothing. In addition, this race is large in number and very united, so from ancient times to the present, the dwarfs have been one of the powerful races in the world.
On the one hand, his fantasy paradise wasn't suited to having too many ordinary employees. On the other hand, the hole in the world's barrier was growing larger and larger, and sooner or later it would be discovered. Rather than waiting for the other party to suddenly discover that they had a strange neighbor and cause trouble, it was better to build a good relationship now. Third, Qixi Festival was approaching, and Chi Yizhen had a PK mission. It would be a perfect time to promote the restaurant. At the same time, Chi Yizhen also had a secret expectation. There were so many evil gods in this world, and they were already fighting hard for believers. How would they feel if they found out one day that someone had already poached them?
Like the dwarf elves and tree spirits, they do not currently believe in evil gods. They are the type that can be manipulated by Chi Yizheng without attracting the attention of the evil gods.
Based on these reasons, Chi Yizheng decided to cooperate with the dwarfs, but the dwarfs he had seen in video footage beforehand were a short, big-eyed race with gray skin and many wrinkles. Their appearance was very similar to the goblins in Earth's fantasy literature. Perhaps this is why their racial name was translated into dwarfs.
Chi Yizhen never thought that all dwarfs were cute and fluffy! If he had known this earlier, he wouldn't have waited until now. He would have come over and invited them all over.
In response to Chi Yizhen's questioning, the game system said, "Player, please look carefully. There is nothing different."
Chi Yizhen complained, "How can they be the same? The difference between the video material and reality is simply the difference between a hairless cat and a Shandong lion cat, okay?"
Game: [Due to changes in their living environment, the dwarves have been forced to grow a thick layer of fur on their bodies to keep warm. Are players dissatisfied with this?]
Satisfied! Chi Yizhen couldn't be more satisfied and wanted to sign the contract to open a restaurant immediately.
However, he was a little confused. "The environment in Fantasy Park is different from here. What if I take them back to open a restaurant, and they think the weather is warmer and all their fur falls off? Then I will be scolded to death by tourists?" Although the natural evolution of species certainly cannot be so fast, the world with extraordinary powers is different!
Regarding this, the game stated: [Please rest assured, even if the environment changes, as long as the dwarves are in the fantasy park and as long as the guests' expectations of the dwarves remain unchanged, they will not change.]
Hearing this, Chi Yizhen suddenly remembered a phrase from a previous game: "Gods are born from the human heart." In an idealistic world, everything is likely born from human thought. This is how Thrall and Chi Xiaozhen's abilities came about. Gods are also born from human thought, but not just from human desire. A crucial element seems to be missing: the kingdom of God. Fantasy Paradise possesses divine attributes, and Thrall and Chi Xiaozhen belong to Fantasy Paradise. Therefore, people's thoughts and impressions influence their birth. Dwarves didn't previously possess this ability, but after entering Fantasy Paradise, they will also undergo subtle changes in the direction people desire, such as becoming more adorable?
To the dwarves, the conversation between Chi Yizheng and Yugi only lasted for one or two breaths.
The appearance of dwarfs is similar to that of cats on Earth, but most of them have solid-colored fur, with white being the most common, yellow being the second most common, gray and white being a common color, and black being the least common. Their ears are placed on top of their heads like cats, but they are curled up, their paws and mouths are pink, and their tails are round like rabbits', but rabbits' tails can be stretched, but theirs cannot, so they are solid balls of fluff.
Perhaps it was because the affection revealed in Chi Yizhen's eyes was too obvious, even the dwarf elf leader Huo Huoqi coughed twice in embarrassment, "Dear guest from afar, please take a seat!"
Chi Yizheng finally came back to his senses and controlled Sal to sit down with him.
The tables and chairs that the dwarfs brought out were all short. Chi Xiaozhen and Sal were tall and had long legs, so after sitting down they could only stretch their legs forward. Even so, they were taller than the standing dwarfs.
The dwarves didn't care about it at all. After all, there was nothing to compare between different races. They brought food to entertain the guests, with round bowls and plates on their heads and hot food held in their paws. They moved quickly but very lightly and steadily. Chi Yizhen felt as if he had strayed into a fairy tale world at this banquet.
At Huo Huoqi's invitation, he enjoyed a very delicious lunch and felt that the extraordinary factors in his body were in an active state.
"It's a very delicious meal, thank you for the hospitality." He thanked in a good mood, then took out his gift and handed it over.
What he gave was a prop produced by the park, a small hoe to help dig holes. It was ten times more efficient than ordinary tools and was very suitable for the dwarf's body size.
Both sides presented gifts and the atmosphere was very harmonious. It was in this pleasant atmosphere that Chi Yizheng put forward his demands.
"Our boss opened a fantasy park and now needs to open a restaurant in the park. Our boss hopes to invite the dwarf to be the chef and the waiter of the restaurant."
The dwarves' extraordinary talents and powers were well known to the world. Huo Huoqi wasn't surprised by Chi Xiaozhen and Sal's request. She licked her paw and said, "You know, we dwarves are a united and home-loving race. We don't want to leave our homeland. If you need delicious food, we can make the right sauce for you. Believe us, any food will become delicious as long as it is drizzled with our special sauce."
However, the theme of the Fantasy Park is holography and fantasy. Using only ordinary people as guests cannot highlight the word "fantasy". Moreover, after seeing the dwarfs, Chi Yizheng can no longer miss the opportunity to turn the restaurant into a tourist attraction.
At that time, tourists can buy tickets to watch the dwarves cook, and spend money to eat in the restaurant... That scene is full of joy of making money!
Unlike tree spirits, dwarf elves are a powerful race that is free and unrestrained, and cannot be easily persuaded.
So Chi Yizhen said under the guise of Chi Xiaozhen: "Of course our boss knows this. So we have prepared conditions to convince you."
Huo Huoqi pricked up his ears when he heard that.
Chi Yizhen said, "I think you've all noticed. The seal is breaking faster and faster, and more and more monsters are pouring out of this area. The dwarves are exhausted just dealing with the monster invasions every day, let alone growing stronger."
His words touched a sore spot in the dwarf elves' hearts. Huo Huoqi couldn't help but wonder, could the owner of Fantasy Paradise reseal the abyss rift? If so...
"Although our boss doesn't have the ability to seal the abyssal rift," Chi Xiaozhen continued in front of Huo Huoqi's somewhat disappointed gaze, "we can set up a teleportation array to attract the monsters that flock to the dwarf elves' territory, and then have the warriors sent by our paradise kill them. As long as the tribe leader is willing to send some dwarf elves to work for our boss, we promise to always send warriors to help the dwarf elves kill monsters."
Hearing this, Huo Huoqi couldn't help but be moved.
Under the invasion of monsters in recent years, the dwarf elves' territory has become smaller and smaller. Even she, the chief of the tribe, has to migrate underground. However, the dwarf elves are not a race accustomed to living underground. Life in the underground without seeing the sun is very difficult, and they also want to return to the surface!
"But we dwarves are reluctant to go too far away from home..." Huo Huoqi was still hesitating.
As one of the powerful races, the dwarf elf was not worried that the other party would break the covenant and harm the tribesmen sent there. However, she had never heard of a place like Fantasy Paradise. It was obvious that it was a very far away place, and she was worried that the tribesmen sent there would be very lonely.
Chi Yizhen smiled, "That's not a big deal. We can set up another teleportation array right at the doorstep of the dwarfs' homes. Your people can go home for vacation every week, or different tribes can go there together."
Come on! Come to my paradise!
