Elf: Who told him to be an investigator!

Chapter 51 has already revealed it.

Ze Shu kept his word.

They said they'd dismantle the mushrooms, and they did it right away.

He looked at the lush mushrooms on Paras's back and gave a smile that Paras found almost devilish.

It was so frightened that it retreated repeatedly, but it could not escape the devilish hands of Ze Shu.

"Pie, pie..."

Paras let out a humiliating sound.

……

In no time at all.

As Ze Shu released his grip, Paras seemed to be sterilized, collapsing limply onto the flower-filled ground.

But it was very enjoyable.

It had never experienced such a feeling of being relieved of its burdens, floating on air as if ascending to heaven.

"group……"

It feels so relaxing to take the mushrooms off my back... My mind is so clear now...

Paras stared blankly at the azure sky, a look of utter bewilderment on his face.

At the same time, several bunches of plump mushrooms appeared in Ze Shu's hand. These were "cut" from Paras, and they were incredibly fresh and juicy.

It is said that the mushroom called "Cordyceps" on Paras's back, if grown well, can be dried, ground into powder, and used as a "longevity medicine." Therefore, this mushroom is very precious, and in the game, it can even be used as a trading item to get NPCs to help teach and recall moves.

If the rumors are true, the plump mushrooms in his hand definitely meet the requirements.

He shook his head with amusement, not paying any attention.

Instead, he compared the size of the mushroom in his hand and whispered instructions to the little girl beside him:

"Honey, when the mushrooms on Paras's back grow to this size, no, to half this size, you should trim them off just like I did."

"This is for Paras's health."

Miko looked serious and said loudly, "I understand!"

Seeing that Paras had lost the desire to evolve, she looked at Ze Shu with bright eyes.

Indeed, my older brother is a very good person!

At this moment, she felt only gratitude towards Ze Shu.

If it weren't for Ze Shu's timely intervention, Paras might have already evolved...

She knew perfectly well that her older brother's previous remarks about "breaking his legs" were all meant to make Paras give up on the theory of evolution.

"This Everlasting Stone is for you," Ze Shu said with a smile, pinching Miko's fair cheek. "Remember not to let Paras take it off."

As for what Paras said—that the two people who wanted to kidnap Miko, he didn't tell Miko beforehand.

However, this is a clue.

He said, "Be careful during this time. Or, I can take you to another fun place while we're at it."

He planned to take Mi Zi to a safe place first.

Miko was stunned for a moment: "This..."

Even though I trust my older brother a lot, we've only just met today...

"Dad told me not to go to unfamiliar places with strangers easily." She hesitated for a moment, "What if he finds out..."

Ze Shu laughed, "What are you thinking? It's definitely about your dad..."

But he hadn't finished speaking.

Miko hesitated for only a few seconds before suddenly nodding, "But big brother isn't a stranger! I trust big brother, I won't tell Dad about this!"

Ze Shu: "..."

What a filial daughter!

He smiled and said, "No, I mean I need to talk to your father. You and your father should go together."

"And after that," he said, looking at Paras who was slumped on the ground, "I can borrow Paras for a while."

"I don't think Paras will refuse this."

……

The sun sets.

The entire town of Huayuan seemed to be shrouded in twilight, and as night gradually fell, the colorful flower-covered hills also fell silent, with only the lingering fragrance of flowers remaining in the air.

At this time, apart from those who need to work outside, the residents of Huayuan Town all return home early.

However, two figures pretending to be normal sneaked in.

Their target was a small house located on the east side of Huayuan Town, Miko's home.

They were still talking furtively.

"Are you sure...?"

"Confirmed! It's right here, at the power plant manager's house in Huayuan Town. I've checked, there's no mistake."

"That's good. We must ensure the mission goes perfectly. I heard that Boss Pluto has lost all trust in Boss Crimson Sun because his previous mission was sabotaged by someone, and the Star Pirates' officers were captured. So this mission cannot afford to fail again!"

"Otherwise, if we fail again..."

The two shuddered at the thought of the possible consequences.

But looking at the tranquil little house not far away, they suddenly laughed: "How could we possibly fail? Our mission is simply to kidnap a little girl."

Thinking of this, they relaxed a little and gradually approached the target house, inhaling the fragrance in the air.

immediately.

Snapped--

As they walked, their bodies collapsed to the ground as if their souls had been ripped away, and they fell fast asleep on the country lane in Huayuan Town.

Even the dull thud of their bodies hitting the ground couldn't break their deep sleep.

In the grass nearby.

Paras stared in disbelief, "Par...Par..."

Is this something it can do?

Just because of the mushroom spores on its back?

"So, as long as you find the right method, it's easy." Ze Shu leaned back against the tree, with Liuwei curled up in his arms like a snow-white cotton ball. "So why did you evolve? Wouldn't that solve the problem? Otherwise, with your current strength, you still wouldn't be able to beat these two head-on even after evolving."

After saying that, without waiting for Paras's reaction, he walked towards the two people who had fallen to the ground.

"group--"

Paras wanted to retort angrily, but couldn't find a reason to do so.

It saw Ze Shu walk up and take out the Poké Balls of the two people who had fallen to the ground. There were six of them piled up together, which was far beyond what a small Paras like it could handle head-on.

But now, thanks to Zeshu's command, they were able to take down the two people who wanted to kidnap Miko without breaking a sweat.

It seems... it seems he's really right...

Paras had no choice but to shut his mouth and hurriedly followed.

"Is it really Team Galactic?"

Ze Shu looked at the two unconscious people and scoffed.

However, he had already suspected this, since the Valley Power Plant, whether in games, comics, or anime, was always occupied by Team Galactic. Currently, it seems that Team Galactic is still in the stage of 'wanting to occupy' it.

They didn't find many things on them.

One of the communication devices still contained messages from their previous so-called mission, several of which caught Ze Shu's attention the most.

Your objective is to access the energy within the valley's power plant. You have five days. Keep your movements discreet and avoid drawing attention.

[Once we've gained control and the energy, wait five days until they arrive, then hand over control of the valley power plant to them. Let them cause trouble and destroy the evidence of their power plant seizure. Until then, do not reveal any trace of Team Galactic!]

[Once control is handed over to them, immediately proceed to the temporary base at Tianguan Mountain. The access key will be sent to you shortly. Once inside Tianguan Mountain, remain concealed and do not expose yourself!]

How to obtain energy from the valley power plant?

They even established a temporary base at Tianguan Mountain? And provided the key to that base?

Ze Shu gave a faint smile.

The team behind the scenes seemed very cautious, as if every word they uttered was a reminder not to expose themselves.

pity……

It's already been exposed.

The things Team Galaxy was planning to do have been completely exposed.

The next thing to do is quite simple.
