The origin of elves

"Old rules, 50-50 split, I contribute the capital, you contribute the ability, we brothers will make a fortune together!"

"Okay, but every time you complete a transaction, you have to pay for it."

Qiucheng didn't want to leave his money with him anymore. It's not like he didn't have a backpack. If he had some money, the backpack would still be enough.

"No problem, Nuo, the alley ahead is the entrance to the black market."

As Odeen spoke, he pointed at the dilapidated house close to the forest. At some point, the high-rise buildings had long since disappeared, replaced by an area of ​​bungalows with disorderly roads.

As we approached the alley, there was an iron gate at the end of the alley. There were two men in black standing at the door, obviously the guards of the black market.

"Let's go, we'll be there after entering the iron gate." After saying that, Odeen patted Qiucheng on the shoulder, showing that I am an experienced driver and will take you to visit the black market with ease.

"Wait, don't we need to wear a mask or a cloak?"

Qiu Cheng couldn't understand. After all, it was a black market. Killing people and stealing goods were often written about in novels in his previous life.

"Oh, I didn't expect you to be quite cautious. Did you see the two people standing guard at the door? Those are from the Rockets. Does the Rockets know?" Looking at the cautious look of Qiucheng, a rookie who came here for the first time, Odeon still had some thoughts. laugh.

When he heard the name of Team Rocket, the largest criminal group in Kanto, Qiucheng might be one of the few people in the world who knew Team Rocket in such detail, but he still had to pretend that he had never heard of it.

"You just need to know that the Rockets are a very powerful organization. The presence of these two people at this station means that the Rockets are watching the situation. If someone makes trouble, they will deal with it first."

Speaking of the strength of the Rockets, Qiucheng always felt that the expression on Odeon's face became a little solemn.

"Are they telling everyone that they are Team Rocket?" Qiucheng asked with some confusion.

"How is that possible?" Odeen seemed to have heard a joke and resented Qiucheng's question.

"Then how do you know they are Team Rocket?"

"..."

The atmosphere seemed a little solid. Odeon's current expression was very wonderful in Qiucheng's eyes. Odeon, who had made suggestions along the way, was extremely smart, as if he had suddenly turned into a fool.

"You don't care how I know! Continue to listen to me!" Odeon quickly changed the topic, obviously hiding the secret of the answer to this question.

"In the black market, if you wear a mask or a cloak, it means you are hiding yourself. If you cannot show your proper strength, you will be followed by people to see if you have any treasures hidden on your body, and you will show your true face to others. , the business we do, and the money we earn will not attract the attention of people who are stronger than us, and this ensures our safety."

"Furthermore, we buy and sell elves, which is illegal for both parties. Do you think anyone will tell the truth? Even if you report it, where is the evidence? Maybe some black-hearted elf dealers will hide their identities for fear of retaliation from buyers, but your business and mine are , they are sold to ordinary people who have a little money, and the basis for making money is that you can guarantee the "quality" of the elves."

The quality in Odeen's words is of course not referring to the individual values ​​that Qiucheng can see, but rather the character of being gentle and not retaliating and harming human beings.

Qiucheng, who was no longer doubtful, walked to the door with Odeen.

"One person, one hundred." The man in black looked at Qiu Cheng and the two of them carefully, and then said indifferently.

Odeon then pushed Qiucheng's back.

"???"

What's the meaning? Shall I pay for you? In surprise, Qiucheng once again realized Odeon's extremely thick skin. He thought that he would not be in front of the Rockets bosses, so he took out two hundred from his pocket and handed it to the two gatekeepers. Team Rocket.

Walking into the black market, the environment was much better than outside. On both sides of the road, there were street stalls all the way to the end of the street. There were many shops behind the stalls. The scale was much larger than Qiu Cheng had imagined.

"Do you see the iron cages on both sides? From now on, it's up to you, brother Qiucheng, to find a suitable elf and I'll contact the buyer." Odeen said and gave Qiucheng a thumbs up.

Listening to Odeen's praise of him, Qiucheng turned from a younger brother to a younger brother. Qiucheng took a deep breath and ignored him, because there were more important things waiting for Qiucheng to think about now.

If you want to make this so-called big money, you have to use Elvish skills, but you only have 800 precious system coins left. As for the real-world alliance coins on hand, you have in your pocket when you leave home, minus the money spent along the way. In addition to the eight hundred he got from Odeen, he now has about one thousand three hundred.

Uncle Nova also has twenty of my insect sloughs, and I can get another four thousand when I go back. Together, this money can be enough for myself and the giant needle bee to spend for a month, but Qiucheng suddenly had another small idea. , and finally decided to make this big money!

Using the skill of Elf Language will deduct 10 system coins every minute. If you want to minimize the loss of system coins and obtain the maximum benefit, Qiu Cheng needs to find merchants that sell a lot of elves, and each merchant will activate the skill for one minute to filter. See if there are any elves that match.

On the black market, Qiucheng was walking in front, looking for dealers who could stand him, while Odeen followed closely behind.

When he finally reached the seventh stall, Qiucheng felt that the number was not bad. There were more than a dozen densely packed iron cages, most of which were elves in their infancy. The most conspicuous thing about this stall was the clusters of pangolin rats in the first iron cage. There are seven of them! You must know that it is not easy to catch the mountain rat. This kind of elf that lives near the hills burrows very quickly, so the difficulty of catching it is also greatly increased.

"What kind of elf do you want to buy? Come and take a look at my newly caught pangolins. They are all full of energy. If you like any one, I will give you a bargain."

The boss who spoke was different from Qiucheng and the others. He wore a mask on his face. He was obviously afraid of being retaliated by the buyer just like Odeen said. But Qiucheng was different. He was here to cheat and pick the elves.

Then Qiucheng opened the skill, and a lot of noisy sounds entered his ears. The cries of the elves were converted into language and Qiucheng understood it.

"I hate it so much!"

"I want to wait until I go out to take revenge!"

"Hateful humans."

"Dad, Mom, where are you?"

Crying, cursing, resentment, the noisy language of the elves exposed their thoughts. Qiucheng could only sigh, but he was powerless. After all, he would soon become a beneficiary of selling elves. The most Qiucheng could do was to help those who trafficked The elf tries his best to find a good master.

Amidst a lot of curses, Qiucheng heard a voice that was different from other elves.

"I really want to eat. I'm so hungry. Mom, I want to eat."

Looking for the sound, he found that this unique elf was the mountain rat in the first iron cage, the furthest away. After finding the target, Qiucheng immediately turned off the Elf Language skill and limited the skill time to one minute.

"Boss, how do you sell the giant needle bees behind you?" Qiucheng first deliberately asked the prices of other elves.

"Oh, that one, let me tell you, it is awesome. It is the queen bee in Viridian Forest. I spent a lot of effort to catch it. Even though it is wilted, as long as I feed it for three days, even the Charizard will give way. It’s three points, it depends on your fate, little brother, it’s only 4000, you can take it and I’ll give you the elf ball.”

Looking at the skinny, petite giant needle wasp with a broken wing, the boss sells it for 4000. How much does the mountain rat cost? To be honest, 4000 is not expensive. Many people can earn 4k per month. However, the most important thing about elves is not the elves themselves, but the cultivation of them. If you want to cultivate a powerful elf with a connected mind, you can spend k. Sales are far from comparable.

"Boss, where are you pangolin rats? How do you sell them?"

"The mountain rat is 12000." Seeing that Qiucheng only asked about the price and not about the elves, the boss no longer wanted to brag.

Qiucheng, who learned the price, signaled to Odeon with his eyes that it was his turn to take action.
