Elf: Make the Rockets Great Again

The latter thought to himself that this was bad, fearing that she would see something, so he immediately said:

"I'm sorry, I was chasing a wild Pokémon and accidentally ran into the deep area of ​​Yuejian Mountain.

During this time, I was also contaminated by the murderous aura of a powerful being, which may have frightened your Sun Coral. I am very sorry, and I will take my leave now!"

As he said that, Lu Ming directly put the Jaw Ant back into the Poké Ball, and then urged the Crocodile next to him to take it away quickly.

Chapter 34 The Richest Man

As they approached Qingyuan Town, Lu Ming realized that he could no longer hold Jigglypuff in his arms so brazenly.

After all, it was a harmless little short-legged creature in the mountains, but in the eyes of the trainers in Qingyuan Town, it was a moving four hundred thousand.

For this reason, Lu Ming discussed it with it for a while, and considering that the latter had been holding it for the past two days, Jigglypuff finally agreed to temporarily enter the backpack.

Then, Lu Ming went home, changed into simple clothes, put on a baseball cap, and then put on the bulging backpack containing Jigglypuff and set off for the mission center.

But as soon as he walked into the mission center, Lu Ming found that the atmosphere inside seemed to be particularly high.

Moreover, unlike the original group of people who gathered around the notice wall where the tasks were issued, today's crowd was very interested in another place.

It was a bar in the rest area. A group of people surrounded several trainers like stars surrounding the moon, as if they were celebrating something.

There is also a group of people on the periphery who are trying their best to squeeze in, as if they can't wait to curry favor with the existence in the center.

Seeing this, Lu Ming felt relieved. This way, there would be less attention on him handing over Jigglypuff.

So, he took advantage of the fact that there were few people around and quickly walked to the service desk, saying that he wanted to hand in the task of finding Jigglypuff.

The middle-aged man who was in charge of the handover was stunned at first, then showed a look of disbelief and said:

"Are you talking about the Jigglypuff that's been hanging on the wall for a while? I need to confirm it first!"

Hearing this, Lu Ming took off his backpack, opened a corner towards the middle-aged man, and revealed Jigglypuff's little head.

"Hmm~, it's Jigglypuff, but this mission is quite special. We need to find a specific individual, so I can't tell.

As for whether it is the one specified by the owner, that person needs to confirm it in person. I will contact her right away. Please wait for a moment."

For the huge reward of 400,000, he had carried this Pudding all the way, so how could he miss a little time? He nodded immediately, found a corner, closed his eyes and waited, and the voices of the people around him also fell into his ears.

"Hey, brother, which big shot has come to Qingyuan Town? Why are all of you gathered over there to watch?"

"Hey~, it's not some big boss that's coming, but a few young heroes from our Qingyuan Town!

You don't know! Not long ago, several young trainers from Qingyuan Town actually captured a wanted criminal from the Alliance.

Although they took it down together, they were all young men who had just become trainers not long ago, so their potential was evident.

Moreover, they are already registered trainers in the league. If they can gain the attention of the higher-ups through this incident, they will definitely have access to resources in the future!

Look, this guy who is fawning on others is already trying too hard to make friends and curry favor with them."

Hearing this, Lu Ming couldn't help but feel a little curious, so he stood up and walked over there, looking inside through the gaps in the crowd, wondering who was so brave.

But he was suddenly stunned when he saw it, because he had seen the four young men surrounded in the crowd.

In particular, one of the young men who looked somewhat like him was his cousin, Lu Hui.

"Huh~, I didn't expect Xiaohui to be so strong. It seems that he will do well in the league in the future." Lu Ming thought to himself.

Perhaps it was because cousins ​​had some blood connection. When Lu Ming looked at him, Lu Hui seemed to sense his gaze and actually looked back at him at the same time.

Lu Ming subconsciously pulled his baseball cap down, not wanting to attract other people's attention.

However, Lu Hui's voice had already shouted: "Brother!"

Everyone followed Lu Hui's gaze, and Lu Ming no longer had to dodge, so he also greeted him generously:

"Xiaohui, I just heard that you captured a fugitive from the Alliance, right?"

"Hmm~" Lu Hui said with a happy face, "This time, I went to Yuejian Mountain with a few friends to do a mission, but I encountered a fugitive who was on the Alliance's wanted list hiding in the mountains.

That guy is quite powerful and has three "excellent-level" elves.

But the four of us still had the upper hand when we joined forces, and after a hard fight, we finally took it down.

Oh, by the way, the reward for that person is as high as 400,000. I can get 100,000, so I am not so tight on money now.

Brother, what are the attributes of your elves? I will go to Qingyuan Mall later and buy you some resources with corresponding attributes!"

Lu Ming shook his head and said, "Since you are now an "Excellent" trainer, you will have more places to spend money in the future. I have plenty of resources here, so you don't have to worry."

As he spoke, he changed the subject and said, "But Xiaohui, you shouldn't be so high-profile.

How much do you know about the fugitive? Does he have any other companions or relatives or friends?

If they find out and come looking for revenge, you won't be able to defend yourself!"

"Alas, why are you so timid? Since we were able to catch the fugitive, if his friends dare to come looking for revenge, we should catch them as well. Who would complain that the reward is too much?" said the red-haired fat man in Lu Hui's team.

"Yes, we are all "excellent" trainers now, and we usually work together on missions. We are not afraid of ordinary people. You are judging others by your own standards!" Another boy with glasses echoed.

"In short, you should be more careful during this period!" Lu Ming said helplessly.

“Yeah, I get it bro, but do you really not need help? Being a trainer is expensive.

Especially in the early stages of an elf's growth, if it lacks adequate nutrition, it will affect its future potential."

"Don't worry, I've made a big order this time, which will be enough to last me for a while!" Lu Ming patted his cousin's arm.

"Oh, why don't young people nowadays know how to adapt? It would be great if there were someone to help them!"

That's right, what kind of tasks can a new lone wolf trainer do? I'm afraid he can barely even buy energy cubes for Pokémon!"

Just as everyone was whispering to each other, an old lady's voice suddenly rang out:

"Has someone finally found my Jigglypuff? I wonder who it is!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present looked quickly and found that the person coming was a silver-haired old woman with a very noble dress and temperament.

Before Lu Ming walked forward and said anything, the pink short-legged fat boy in the backpack jumped out by himself, threw himself on the old lady's legs, and started to act coquettishly and affectionately.

"Oh, I finally found you, little Fatty!" The old man picked up Fatty and then looked at Lu Ming and said:

"You were the one who brought my Jigglypuff back? Thank you so much! Besides the 400,000 yuan reward, if you have any other requests, feel free to ask!"

At this time, someone had already recognized the old woman's identity and said:

"Oh my god, isn't this the richest lady in Qingyuan Town—Mrs. Eli? I didn't expect Jigglypuff to be her elf.

Oh my, this Mrs. Eli really has a mine at home.

The peat swamp west of our Qingyuan Town belongs to her. I wonder how many high-quality "peat blocks" it can produce every year.

I heard that recently some senior members of the alliance came to their house specifically to purchase a large amount of "peat blocks".

This young man has found a treasure. I wonder how much reward he will get!"

From then on, the focus of everyone's attention immediately shifted from Lu Hui and others to Lu Ming.

The latter was most afraid of being noticed, otherwise she would not have avoided her cousin's gaze just now. She immediately said to the old woman:

"There are too many people here, please find a quiet place to talk."

Chapter 35 Request for a Visit with Cadres

Amidst the envious and jealous gazes of the crowd, Lu Ming was invited by the old lady named Eli to get into a luxury RV and drove away!

The luxury car drove all the way to the center of the southern city, drove into a spacious garden, and finally stopped in front of a multi-story villa.

Lu Ming did not ask the stupid question of why there were no security personnel in Nuo Garden, because in the elf world, there are bodyguards who are more reliable than humans.

Ever since he entered the door, Lu Ming felt that he was being scanned by a vague gaze, which might be some kind of super-powered elf hiding in the dark.

"Young man, come sit here!"

Mrs. Eli brought Lu Ming to a pavilion in the garden. Tea and snacks were already placed on the table in the pavilion, which were probably changed regularly.

After Lu Ming sat down, he looked around and found that there were a wide variety of flowers around him.

Bartle butterflies and hunting swallowtail butterflies flutter among them, and even the extremely rare butterfly fly in the Kanto region appears.

Looking around at the garden scenery, Lu Ming felt a lot more comfortable and relaxed.

With such a grand layout, his family business must be substantial, and he deserves to be called the richest man in Qingyuan Town.

It is not surprising that someone was willing to spend 400,000 yuan to offer a reward for a Jigglypuff kept as a pet.

Back in the comfortable and familiar environment, Jigglypuff behaved very cordially. He jumped out of Mrs. Eli's arms and ran to play in the flowers.

Soon after, many small elves gathered from all over the garden, such as Blue, Curly-Ear, etc. They were probably Jigglypuff's playmates, and soon they started playing everywhere and having a lot of fun.

"Haha~, little Jigglypuff, you must be careful next time and don't run out of the garden."

Mrs. Eli smiled and reminded him, then said to Lu Ming:

"Oh~, I haven't been able to sleep well since this little Fatty went missing.

My son wanted to buy me a new Jigglypuff several times, but I refused because I felt that Jigglypuff would be back soon!

By the way, I don’t know where you found my little Fatty?”

"Oh~, it was inside Yuejian Mountain. It was carried away by a toucan. I rescued it after I found it." Lu Ming said half-truthfully.

"Thank you for your hard work. This is the agreed-upon 400,000 yuan in compensation. As for the commission from the mission center, I'll send it over separately later. Don't worry about it."

Mrs. Eli handed a check to Lu Ming, who immediately took it and said:

"Madam, you're too kind. I just walked a little further. I'm a little nervous about receiving such a huge reward!"

"Hey~, it might be a piece of cake for you, but for me, it's like recovering a treasure I've lost. It can't be measured in this way!

By the way, I told you before, if you have any other requests besides the 400,000, you can tell me, maybe I can help you."

Hearing this, Lu Ming pondered for a moment, then placed the 400,000 check that Mrs. Eli had given him back in front of him and said,

"Ma'am, I'm just following your instructions. I didn't dare ask for anything, but since you asked, I'll beg you for a favor."

"Haha~, tell me about it!"
