Elf: Make the Rockets Great Again

Although Lu Ming felt somewhat helpless, he also knew that because of the existence of the desert space, his strength had improved much faster than that of ordinary people!

Moreover, with the current strength of the Hooligan Crocodile and the Ultrasonic Larva, it would not be too difficult for them to capture "Excellent-level" Pokémons by working together.

The only problem is that there are too few "excellent-level" elves in the outer area of ​​Yuejian Mountain.

"It seems that we can try to go a little deeper into the inner side of Yuejian Mountain from now on.

With the ultrasonic larvae's detection capabilities, as long as we don't go too deep, there shouldn't be any danger."

Lu Ming was planning his future in his mind, but his pace did not slow down at all, and he soon returned to Qingyuan Town.

Since he didn't catch any potential Pokémon today, he didn't go to the mission center, but went directly to the commercial district and found a large herbal medicine shop, intending to sell the mushrooms he had collected.

As soon as you enter the pharmacy, you will be hit by the strong smell of boiled traditional herbs.

Lu Ming locked his eyes on the counter, where a half-bald middle-aged man was weighing herbs on a small scale. He walked forward and said,

"You are the owner of this pharmacy, right? Do you accept Paras mushrooms?"

"Hmm~"

The half-bald young man uttered an "eh" and then looked at Lu Ming and said:

"Ordinary small mushrooms are 500 each. If they are of good quality, the price can be slightly higher."

Lu Ming nodded, poured out all the mushrooms in his handbag, and asked the boss to count them.

The latter showed a look of surprise. After counting, he found that there were twenty-eight small mushrooms in total, and there was even a large mushroom that could only come from Parast.

"Eh~, young people, don't judge by appearances. Not only did you produce so many small mushrooms at once, but you even got a big mushroom. It shows that you are quite capable."

"Hehe~, no need for compliments, just tell me the purchase price!"

"Hmm~, let's put it this way, I see that this batch of mushrooms are of varying quality, so I'll buy them all at 600!

As for this giant mushroom, let's say 5,000 Alliance Coins, is that feasible?"

Lu Ming nodded, thinking that the price was quite fair, so he didn't raise any objections!

After the transaction was completed, Lu Ming collected the 21,800 yuan he earned from selling mushrooms and planned to go home immediately, but unexpectedly he ran into an unexpected person.

"Hey, cousin Lu Ming, why are you here?"

Lu Ming didn't expect to meet his cousin Lu Hui here.

At this moment, of his three original teammates, only the blonde girl was left.

"Hey~, Xiaoyu, you brought Xiaohui back today too. That's great! I'll cook two more dishes tonight!"

At this time, the boss's voice came, and it sounded like he was the girl's parent.

The girl called Xiaoyu blushed and said, "Yes, Lu Hui said he also wanted to try your cooking again, but he didn't expect his cousin to be here too."

"Oh my, you are Xiaohui's cousin? Then you are not a stranger. Come and have dinner with me."

At this moment, Lu Ming didn't know that his cousin had developed a friendship with the female companion in his team that went beyond friendship. Naturally, he refused to be a light bulb and said goodbye and left.

The girl is very pretty and comes from a well-off family. Lu Ming is happy to see that his brother can find such a good match.

Chapter 39: Called Again

After teasing his cousin and future siblings, Lu Ming went to Qingyuan Mall again to see if there were any secrets to the "Ultimate Absorption" technique.

As expected, in such a small shopping mall, you can only buy "Absorption" and "Super Absorption".

If you want to buy "Ultimate Absorption", you may have to go to the big shopping mall in Nibi City, or wait until you have enough Rocket Team Contribution Points to exchange it.

Since Lu Ming had no demand for gems these days and he had a huge sum of 100,000 yuan in his hand, he had sufficient funds.

After some consideration, I finally spent 50,000 yuan to buy a space backpack.

This is a space item that is different from the Poké Ball. It cannot hold living creatures like Pokémon, but it has a space for storing various items.

Lu Ming bought the cheapest space backpack, which only had about three cubic meters of loading space, but it was completely sufficient for the time being.

Afterwards, Lu Ming went to the food counter again and bought some energy cubes.

After loading the energy cubes worth several thousand dollars into the space backpack, Lu Ming secretly estimated in his heart that these might not be enough to sustain the two elves for a few days.

Raising combat Pokémon is extremely expensive, and ordinary civilian trainers usually won't consider a second Pokémon until they have bred one Pokémon and it has strong profitability.

Fortunately, the giant mandible ants had strong abilities when they joined the team and evolved early.

Otherwise, even if Lu Ming had the magical desert space, the pressure would be much greater now.

Lu Ming walked all the way home, but the direction was not the usual North City District.

Just two days ago, Lu Ming rented an apartment in Dongcheng District, where living conditions are relatively good.

The apartment was about 70 square meters and simply decorated, so Lu Ming moved in with his luggage.

Since Qingyuan Town is an inconspicuous little place, the rent is not expensive, and it only costs a little over 3,000 yuan a month.

With his current profitability, this amount of money is not much, but it can provide the two elves with a more comfortable resting space.

Moreover, the public security in Dongcheng District is better, so I feel more at ease moving there.

After Lu Ming returned to his new home, he first released the two elves and let them move freely.

Then he put all the valuable items such as the "Flame Orb" and the "Soothing Bell" into the space backpack, which was why he chose to buy the latter.

Afterwards, he used the time while eating to review some of the day's battles with the two elves and summarize some shortcomings.

But when he was about to fall asleep, his old cell phone suddenly rang with a message.

When I opened it, it turned out to be a message from that elusive boss, Mr. Xiong.

The content of the message was still to ask all Team Rocket members in Qingyuan Town to assemble and stand by.

However, the destination of this gathering was not the East Suburbs Woods, nor the Yuejian Mountain where Lu Ming often went, but the peat swamp to the west of Qingyuan Town!

"Huh, peat swamp! I remember this seemed to be Mrs. Eli's property. Could it be that Lord Bear wants to attack that lady?" Lu Ming was suddenly startled.

Although, the old lady Eli had only a business relationship with him before.

But he took good care of me after all, and even gave me Jigglypuff's "comfort bell", which was considered a favor from him.

Now, thinking that the Rockets might be doing something bad to him, he couldn't help but hesitate.

But then, Lu Ming thought that the other party was the real richest man in Qingyuan Town.

With such resources, he naturally has a large group of powerful elves around him.

If the mission really involves doing something to her, I should be the one who is afraid.

With this in mind, Lu Ming had no choice but to put aside his useless and helpless emotions for the time being, and think about what to do next.

.........

Two days passed quickly.

On the day of the assembly order, Lu Ming left the town and found a secluded place. He put on a mask, changed into the black official Rockets uniform, and went to the agreed location to report.

The gathering place is located in a secluded corner somewhere on the edge of the peat bog.

As soon as Lu Ming approached, he felt a burst of dampness on his face and smelled a very strong smell of rotting plants.

After waiting for a while, about twenty people had gathered in this hidden corner.

And just as Mr. Xiong said, there are only four people among them, including the regular team members and the newly promoted Lu Ming.

Among them was Ajie, with whom I had worked together last time in the East Suburbs Woods.

Although Lu Ming wore the official team uniform and changed into a different mask this time, Ajie still recognized him and gave him a flattering smile.

Lu Ming nodded slightly to this person, then looked at the other two official team members.

One of them was very tall, and his muscular figure could be felt through the bulging sleeves.

The other person is a woman, and the look behind the mask gives people an aura of keeping strangers away.

Among the reserve team members, one person also caught Lu Ming's attention. It was a young man named Xiaosen who had formed a team in the woods in the eastern suburbs before.

But I didn't expect that this seemingly unreliable reserve player would actually run out.

I don’t know if he is really lucky or if he is also a hidden “actor”.

But unlike Ajie's good eyesight, this young man who had experienced a life-and-death crisis still looked a little confused. He looked around with a wandering gaze and did not recognize Lu Ming.

Everyone waited for a while before the cadre named Xiong Jun finally arrived.

Just like last time, he was still wearing a teddy bear mask, and it was obvious that he really liked this kind of elf, and it was very likely that he had raised one himself.

It is said that the Rockets control a baby bear breeding base in Chengdu, so there are many people in the organization who breed circle bears.

Xiong Jun looked around and said slowly: "Our target today is the 'peat blocks' produced here.

I have received accurate information that the "peat blocks" produced in the peat bogs during this period have been piled together, and I will go and grab them myself.

What you need to do is launch a feint attack in other areas to cause confusion and draw attention for me."

Upon hearing this, although no one present dared to raise any objections, they exchanged glances with each other, obviously puzzled.

"I have my own ideas for this matter. You don't have to worry too much. As long as you don't cheat or act slyly during the process, after the task is completed, each reserve member will receive 20 basic points, and the official members will receive 200 points."

Upon hearing this, everyone present perked up and expressed that they would give their all.

But even so, the doubts in my heart cannot be completely dispelled.

You know, after knowing the location where the targets are concentrated, cadres with "senior-level" strength can just sneak in and seize them quietly, why let these rabble come and make a scene?

What's more, although "peat blocks" are relatively rare materials, they are not extraordinary items.

I've never heard of any elves using it to increase their strength or evolve, so why would they come all the way here to steal it?

But at this moment, Lu Ming's heart was filled with fear and doubt.

Before he traveled through time, he learned from the game that the ancient Xicui Circle Bear could evolve into the Moon Bear.

And the requirement of evolution is to use "peat blocks" on it on a full moon night!

But Lu Ming was very sure that since he had traveled through time for more than half a year, he had never heard of any rumors that the Circle Bear could evolve.

Considering that this bear cadre probably has a circle bear himself, he is now trying to grab the "peat blocks".
