Elven King of Bugs

Bai Chen recognized her.

Before accepting the commission, Bai Chen might not have known this girl even if he bumped into her on the street. However, after accepting the "Terrible Sweetness" commission, which evoked memories related to the plot of the animation, Bai Chen glanced at her. Just recognized her.

Although the painting styles of Two-dimensional and Three-dimensional are different, the girl seems to be a few years younger than in the animation, but she has this iconic long hair of forgiveness color.

Without looking closely, Bai Chen was sure that the girl in front of him was the treasure hunter who had been with the protagonist group for several episodes, with the goal of finding the "terrible sweetness".

Thinking of this, Bai Chen couldn't help but feel a little confused.

Could it be that the treasure hunter is the client? It’s obviously an old man’s voice on the other end of the phone.

While he was thinking, a soft voice like a breeze came into Bai Chen's ears.

"You are the guest that grandpa mentioned"

The green-haired girl showed a comforting smile, looked at the sky and said, "Grandpa is indeed right. When Muke flies overhead, there will definitely be guests visiting the house."

Bai Chen: ""

No, isn't this a prearranged meeting?

How come when it comes to your mouth, it suddenly turns into a chance encounter due to fate?

Bai Chen held back his strong complaints and showed a formulaic smile: "Hello, I am Bai Chen. Yesterday I accepted Tiantian's commission and made an appointment with the person I am meeting now."

"Hello, my name is Yami. The client is my grandfather. He is waiting inside. Please come in."

Saying that, Yami opened the iron door.

It is strange to say that Bai Chen is so young, and most people would doubt whether he has enough ability to complete the commission, but Yami did not show the slightest doubt and led Bai Chen into the room with a normal look on his face, with a gentle smile on his lips. .

It was very quiet along the way, with almost no sound except for the occasional chirping of insects and birds. The breeze blew on Bai Chen's face, and he unconsciously calmed down.

Halfway through the stone road, still some distance away from the mansion, Bai Chen suddenly stopped and asked Yami in front of him: "Miss Yami, can I release my giant sting bee? This manor makes me feel very comfortable." , I want him to come out and experience it too.”

"no problem."

Jami turned around and nodded without hesitation.

"There are also some wild insect and flying elves living in our garden. If you don't mind, you can let your giant needle bee make friends with them."

"Thank you." Bai Chen said.

I had been staying in the city just now, so I didn't have a chance to see the giant needle bees come out. I guess the giant needle bees were also bored.

"sizzling beer"

After coming out of the elf ball, the giant needle bee immediately circled around Bai Chen intimately. After feeling the breath of other elves in the garden, it guarded Bai Chen vigilantly.

"Don't be nervous, they are not enemies." Bai Chen held down the Stingray in a funny manner, "You can stay here by yourself, don't cause trouble, I have something to discuss with the owner of the house, and I will be out soon. of."

"beer"

The Needle Bee nodded and flew elsewhere consciously to compete with other elves.

After sending away the Sting Bee, Bai Chen continued to follow Ya Mi, and soon entered the mansion, walked through the hall, and came to an unusually large room on the first floor.

Bai Chen didn't see another person along the way. If Bai Chen hadn't remembered Bami, a character in the original work, he might have suspected that he had entered a haunted house by mistake, and that Bami was just an illusion created by a ghost elf to deceive him.

This possibility cannot be completely ruled out.

Following Bami into the room, Bai Chen immediately put all the speculations in his mind aside. He was shocked by this strange room that looked a bit like a study and a warehouse.

It looks like a study room because there is a huge mahogany bookshelf that extends to the ceiling and is five or six meters high in front of the east wall. There are rows and rows of books on it, many of which look quite ancient. book.

It looks like a warehouse because the other shelves are filled with miscellaneous strange items, including dull bronze swords, pottery with complex patterns and different styles, and stone slabs with ancient characters engraved on them.

"Welcome to Grandpa's collection room."

Yami's words brought Bai Chen back to reality and answered Bai Chen's questions.

It turned out to be a collection room, no wonder.

Bai Chen suddenly realized that as he had expected, the client was indeed a collector.

To be more precise, he is still a treasure hunter. In the future, Bami went to find the "terrible sweetness" because he was influenced by his grandfather who was a treasure hunter and wanted to fulfill his last wish.

what

If Yami will look for "Terrible Sweetness" in the future, doesn't it mean that no one can complete this commission until her grandfather dies?

Isn't it that difficult? Watching animation is obviously effortless.

Bai Chen wanted to retreat.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is indeed true. The area of ​​EMI Forest is comparable to several EMI cities. Even if you know in advance that "Terrible Sweetness" is related to Three Bees, it will be difficult to lock in an exact search range.

After all, there is more than one queen bee in EMI Forest. In addition to the bee colony that can create "terrible sweetness", there must also be other bee colonies led by other bee queens.

In the animation, Jami has a map to narrow the search range, and the halo of the protagonist adds to it, so the difficulty is naturally reduced a lot.

Apart from remembering the general plot of the animation and having the power to control insects, Bai Chen no longer had any advantages.

Hey, no, actually the advantages are huge. If the reward is generous enough, it’s worth a try.

Thousands of thoughts kept churning in Bai Chen's mind, further deepening his understanding of the difficulty of the task. Bai Chen still decided to discuss the issue of remuneration according to the original plan.

He shifted his gaze to the center of the room, where there was a coffee table and several sofa chairs. On one of the sofa chairs, there was an old man sitting leisurely sipping black tea.

The old man was bald, and he looked very kind-hearted as he squinted his eyes while drinking tea. Only a five- to six-centimeter-long scar on his left cheek ruined this feeling, adding a ferocious and fierce look to his face. breath.

"Young man, are you the one who called me yesterday?"

The old man did not stand up to greet him, but just put down his tea cup and waved: "Don't be formal, just find a seat and sit down. Let's talk in detail."

"By the way, my name is Gu Jie, old man. If you don't mind, young man, just call me Grandpa Gu Jie."

"Then I'm welcome."

Bai Chen simply sat down on the sofa chair opposite Gu Jie and looked at a sparkling heart-shaped scale in front of him with some concern.

As if aware of Bai Chen's gaze, Gu Jie said with a somewhat contented smile: "Those are the scales of the heart. It took me a long time to find them. The ordinary scales of the heart are only the size of the palm of your hand, but this one is about the size of a human face." It’s probably the largest heart scale in the world.”

Heart Scales are very rare and beautiful scales with a beautiful heart shape. Although they have no special use, they are deeply loved by many girls and collectors due to their romantic appearance and rarity.

It is said that the scales of the heart are the scales shed by the love fish. Generally, the scales are only seven or eight centimeters long, but the one in front of me is more than ten or twenty centimeters long.

The fallen scales of this overlord love fish

It's just precious anyway.

Bai Chen quickly praised Gu Jie at every opportunity, which made Mr. Gu Jie laugh.

"The small talk is over, young man, let's talk about business."

After laughing happily a few times, Gu Jie changed into a serious face without any warning.

"I know that your biggest concern must be the reward. I won't mince words. As long as you can find the terrible sweetness, I can give you 100 million."

Damn 100 million
