I'm an elf mayor in the real world

Chapter 27 Messenger Bird Gift Delivery

Looking at the pile of gift boxes in front of him, Chen Xizhou smiled awkwardly.

Although the messenger birds may not be big, the gift boxes they send are actually about one cubic meter in size.

These gift boxes can fit any messenger bird except the majestic alpha messenger bird.

Chen Xizhou really wanted to know how the small hollow tails of the messenger birds could hold such a large gift box.

"let us start."

Chen Xizhou opened the lid of the first gift box. The large box was unexpectedly empty, with only a small bag in the corner.

The small bag contained 10 unknown seeds.

[Orange fruit tree species: If planted in the soil, orange fruit trees can grow. 】

[Orange fruit tree: a tree that produces orange fruits. 】

[Orange Fruit: A tree fruit that can restore the physical strength of elves. 】

It’s actually a tree fruit seed!
Tree fruit is a new species that appears in this world along with elves.

The tree fruits discovered today have various tastes and seem to have different effects.

So far, only sporadic effects of the fruit have been published.

But Chen Xizhou believes that botanists from various alliances have already begun to study these new and different plants.

Most of the known tree fruits are not in line with human tastes. This is the same as natural Chinese medicine, so tree fruits are called "elf's Chinese medicine".

However, this does not affect the medicinal value of the tree fruits to humans.

It is conceivable that after many years, tree fruits will become an economic crop integrating food, fruit, medicine and other functions.

Then comes the second gift box.

Like the first gift box, the second gift box also contains a bag of tree fruit seeds.

[Muzi fruit tree species: Planted in the soil, muzi fruit trees can grow. 】

[Muzi fruit tree: A fruit tree that produces muzi fruit. 】

[Muzi Fruit: A tree fruit that can cure the abnormal state of elves. 】

Another tree fruit seed!
After Chen Xizhou asked You Qin to record it, he opened the third box again, then the fourth, and the fifth...

It took Chen Xizhou a whole afternoon to open all 150 gift boxes.

Opening the gift box is very simple.

The real trouble is sorting and recording the various gifts.

Without You Qin's help, Chen Xizhou would have spent at least half the time to complete it.

There are three categories of gifts.

The first category is tree fruit seeds.

其中用来回复体力的橙橙果种子32袋，苹野果种子38袋；用来治疗异常状态的木子果种子25袋；用来制作精灵球的球球果种子20袋；还有各种系统没有说明作用的树果30袋。

A total of 145 bags of tree fruit seeds.

Each bag contains 10 seeds, totaling 1450 tree fruit seeds.

The second category is elf props.

Two of the elf props are all khaki in color and resemble a king's crown.

【Proof of the King! 】

[Proof of the King: After being carried by the elf, the injured opponent will sometimes flinch. It is also an evolutionary carrying item. 】

That’s it!
Chen Xizhou immediately recognized these two pieces of evidence of kingship as the evolutionary props that Slowpoke had drawn on the paper for him to find.

In this case, Slowpoke's evolution can be put on the agenda.

The other two elf props are all silver and shaped like steel coils.

【Metal film! 】

[Metal Film: The power of the steel attribute skills of the elf carrying this item is increased by 20%. It is also an evolutionary carrying item. ] The embarrassing thing is that Chen Xizhou cannot move these two pieces of metal film.

In the end, the two pieces of metal film could only be left in the gift box.

"Secretary You, how did you move in when you were sorting it out?" Chen Xizhou expressed confusion.

"To tell you the truth, Director Ke and Director Jiang and I didn't feel anything at all when we moved them. These gift boxes seemed to be light and airy."

You Qin added: "We thought the gift boxes were empty at the time."

"I see."

Chen Xizhou believed very much in what You Qin said.

He guessed that the contents of these gift boxes were similar to the hollow tails of messenger birds. Although they did not look very big on the outside, there was another spatial dimension inside.

The difference is that the hollow tail of the messenger bird can be recycled, while the gift box is a disposable item and becomes useless once opened.

Otherwise, the different weights before and after opening the gift box cannot be explained.

The third category is Elf Eggs.

This is a red elf egg. It is the only elf egg that Chen Xizhou opened among the 150 gift boxes.

After returning to the office, Chen Xizhou placed the elf egg in his arms on the cushion previously used to enlarge the rock snake elf egg.

Then he went downstairs again, and together with You Qin, brought all 145 bags of tree fruit seeds and 2 pieces of King's Certificate to the office and locked them up.

As for the remaining two metal films, they are too heavy...

The items in the gift box were too valuable, and Chen Xizhou felt uneasy about putting them in the logistics department, which had not yet arranged for his own people.

After sorting out his belongings, Chen Xizhou stretched out and sat back in his office chair, and asked casually: "Secretary You, are you a native of Langqi, right?"

You Qin replied: "Yes, he is from Youjia Village."

Youjia Village is about 52 kilometers away from Langqi Town. It is a remote village with only more than households.

"Do you know that Langqi Town is suitable for sowing at this time?"

Chen Xizhou explained: "Although Langqi Town is famous for its seasonal fruits, to be conservative, I think it's better to ask you, a Langqi local, about this kind of thing."

"It is indeed the case."

You Qin replied: "Langqi Island's geographical location is unique, so people sow suitable crops every season."

Chen Xizhou lowered his head, seeming to be thinking about something.

"Do you think if I distributed these tree fruit seeds to each village for planting, they would be willing to do so?"

It is useless for the town government to have money alone. As the mayor, Chen Xizhou has always thought about how to bring all the people in Langqi Town to common prosperity.

These people include not only the residents of the town, but also all the villages on Langqi Island that are under the jurisdiction of Langqi Town.

However, most of the young and middle-aged people in these villages go out to work, and the rest are old, weak, women and children, or even empty-nesters.

Even if Chen Xizhou was willing to provide them with some opportunities in such a village, they would not be able to take them.

They are still accustomed to working with their backs to the sky and their faces to the loess.

However, the emergence of these tree fruit seeds gave Chen Xizhou another way of support.

The future development direction of the world must be the elf industry. As a companion species to the elves, tree fruits will inevitably have their time to shine.

This is an opportunity that requires foresight.

Chen Xizhou is not sure whether the villagers in these villages are willing to take up this rare opportunity.

"I guess they are unwilling."

You Qin explained: “Now everyone has their own cash crops to sustain their livelihood, and the town government cannot give them any reason to persuade them to plant fruit instead.”

"This is a limitation of rural people and cannot be avoided."

Chen Xizhou smiled at You Qin's addition. He knew that You Qin was afraid that he would blame the villagers.

"I'm not such a stingy person..."
