Chapter 1 Speech by the Mayor of Langqi Town

June of the first year of the new calendar.

Earth.

Huaxia Alliance.

Langqi Town, Rongcheng City, Fujian Province.

In front of a three-story run-down building.

On a platform that was obviously built temporarily.

The young man in formal clothes looked at the thousands of villagers in front of him, who were standing in a crowd and making some noise.

Not sure if it was because of nervousness or excitement, his body trembled slightly at a very low frequency.

At this time.

Chen Xizhou took a long breath and took a step forward. His slightly magnetic voice was transmitted to the ears of every villager through the microphone and then through the radio.

"My fellow villagers, the transformation of Langqi Town is urgent. Since the city alliance is unwilling to approve the project of our economic zone, we will do it ourselves! Do it hard!"

"For those unknown and mysterious monsters, we must change our basic cognition and transform our suspicion, fear and disgust towards them into trust, confidence and love!"

"I declare: From today on, from top to bottom in Langqi Town, from town alliance cadres to every villager, we will call monsters elves!"

As soon as Chen Xizhou finished speaking, a heated discussion sounded under the stage.

In these discussions, except for a few discordant opposition voices, most of them were visions of the future.

This is a real world invaded by unknown creatures.

Just half a year ago, this comfortable real world suddenly appeared with a large number of unknown creatures of many kinds.

Grass, forest, stream, river, mountain, desert, ocean, sky...

As long as it is not a city, or a place where there are not many humans living, you can almost see these magical creatures that are completely different from the original world and full of all kinds of incredible.

The earth gave them the identity of new residents, and humans called them monsters.

"Mayor Chen, this demon next to you... No, it should be an elf, have you named it?"

A bold fellow shouted from the audience.

A little elf was lying next to Chen Xizhou.

It was pink all over, fat, with curled ears and small pupils in round and large eye sockets, which made it look very honest.

However, its eyeballs would turn around from time to time, which would give people a sense of great wisdom and foolishness.

The premise is that you can capture this detail.

"Look at its silly look, otherwise why not call it Slowpoke?"

Chen Xizhou's words immediately aroused the recognition and praise of the villagers, because this name really fits the appearance of this little guy.

They also have a rare love for this little elf who loves to eat small shells.

Maybe it's because of love for the house and the dog.

This little elf named Slowpoke has been with Chen Xizhou since the first day he took office as the mayor of Langqi Town.

In this period when humans and elves are unfamiliar with each other, most people are unwilling to contact this group of mysterious and unknown creatures.

However, out of respect for the mayor, Slowpoke was naturally accepted by the town alliance cadres and fellow villagers.

[Ding...]

[The host has completed the official naming of the elf, and the elf system is officially launched! ]

? ? ?

Chen Xizhou was startled by the sudden voice in his mind.

After all, he was an academic village official who had undergone a lot of formal learning and rigorous training. Chen Xizhou did not let this sudden system voice affect him.

He perfectly ended the town alliance meeting in the morning.

As a member of the excellent academic village official team, although Chen Xizhou was the only outstanding student who was promoted and directly appointed as the head of a town, he did not want such a promotion at first.

Langqi Town is really too poor.

This town built on an island is far behind other towns and villages on the mainland in all aspects.

Therefore, there is a comment that "the town is not as good as the village".

This is also why all academic village officials would rather be a real village official than a mayor in Langqi Town.

There are six very important factors in urban development.

The industrial factor is the most important of the six factors, and the other five factors act on the industrial factor.

The first one is the land factor.

Land is the foundation of industry, and industry must be built on land.

Langqi Island, where Langqi Town is located, is the fifth largest island in Fujian Province, with a ratio of plain area to mountain area of ​​2:1.

The mysterious advent of the elves has expanded the entire world several times, and Langqi Island has also benefited from it.

So just in terms of land factors, Langqi Town has great development potential.

The second factor is population.

The role of population in industry is that population is labor, including mental and physical strength.

This factor is the constraint of Langqi Town. Langqi Town has been unable to develop its economy for many years and has not been able to attract talents, and its population is constantly flowing out.

Under the vicious cycle, the number of permanent residents in Langqi Town is getting smaller and smaller.

This place is even called a "ghost town".

As for the three factors of technology, culture, and policy, all of them need to be based on land, based on population, and supported by industry.

Therefore, in Langqi Town, where the population is insufficient and the industry is declining, things like technology, culture, and policies are all empty talk.

If Chen Xizhou does not want to be the mayor of Langqi Town for his entire life, he can only work hard to develop Langqi Town and lead Langqi Town out of the current vicious cycle.

Of course, if Chen Xizhou is content with the status quo, Langqi Town can also become a place for him to retire comfortably.

Anyway, the Alliance Headquarters has never had any expectations for Langqi Town.

However, this is obviously not the dreamland of a twenty-something, energetic and ambitious academic village official, so Chen Xizhou tried to make a change.

The elf industry is the blue ocean industry he wants to support.

In such a place where everything is in ruins, without the constraints of traditional industries, Chen Xizhou sees a little future to look forward to.

The mayor's office is on the third floor of the town alliance building.

At this time, Chen Xizhou was sitting in an office chair in a daze. In fact, he was checking the system that had accidentally backstabbed him just now.

After all, he was a young man, and Chen Xizhou quickly accepted this unexpected thing in his mind.

This system, which calls itself the [Little Elf System], currently has only two modules and a gray button.

The two modules are a system gift package, which the host can receive from the system once a year; and a system function, which allows the host to view a simple information description of the elves encountered from the system.

The gray button is an upgrade function. The upgrade condition is that Langqi Town needs to meet the first, second and third industries.

Chen Xizhou set his eyes on the Slowpoke beside him.

Several messages popped up.

[Slowpoke! ]

[Slowpoke: Silly Elf]

[Slowpoke is always in a daze, making it hard to figure out what it is thinking. ]

[Slowpoke exudes a sweet taste from its tail. Although it has no nutrition, it makes you feel happy when you bite it. ]

The system gave two messages.

What surprised Chen Xizhou was that the Slowpoke in the system message was really called Slowpoke. He didn't give Slowpoke the wrong name.

When Slowpoke saw Chen Xizhou looking at him, he felt as if he had been seen through. He raised his head and looked around in confusion, then lay down on the ground as if nothing had happened.

Just when Chen Xizhou wanted to explore further, a loud noise disturbed him...
