Elf: Make the Rockets Great Again

If Lu Ming hadn't taken a fancy to it, he might have been refined in an instant like this.

But before the fear subsided, Lu Ming had already thrown the intermediate "ground gem" over, and Onix hurriedly bit it and swallowed it.

When the pure ground energy flowed into the body, an unprecedented ambition also filled the heart of the golden rock snake.

If I could have the help of this mysterious altar, then reaching the top of the world would not be a dream.

But when it looked at Lu Ming again, it felt lucky to have met him.

Lu Ming was well aware of the temptation of the desert space to the ground elves, and knew that the giant rock snake in front of him would never be willing to leave him.

Then, he gave it the "hard stone" that he had taken from the lava snail in Wuwei.

This is a mid-level quality item, which is priceless to the Golden Onix at this stage.

…………

Chapter 87 Moving to Nibi

After leaving the desert space, Lu Ming took back the telekinetic clay doll and the golden rock snake, and instead released the ultrasonic larvae to guard him.

The first two are a "senior-level" being with superpowers, and the other is a different-colored elf who cannot be easily exposed.

The ultrasonic larvae will be his main elf combat force in Nibi City in the future.

Along the way, with its sound wave detection, Lu Ming arrived in Nibi City without encountering any trouble.

Nibe City is the center of the northeastern Kanto region and is also the location of the famous Nibe Gym. The architectural style of the entire city is gray and looks very heavy.

This is a big city with a population of about 10 million, and it is not comparable to Qingyuan Town with a population of 100,000 in any aspect.

Not to mention anything else, just the sight of the numerous commercial shops was enough to shock Lu Ming, who had not experienced the prosperity of a big city for a long time.

As a city dweller from Blue Star China, he is more accustomed to this prosperous scene.

What made Lu Ming feel the biggest difference was the elves raised by the residents of the two places.

Back in Qingyuan Town, the vast majority of Pokémon I saw every day were Rattata, Geodude, and Sandshrew, with very few other types.

In this Nibi City, there are a wide variety of elves, and you can even see many elves that are rare in Kanto.

Although high-level and rare elves are still a minority, the overall quality and diversity far exceed Qingyuan Town.

Not long after Lu Ming arrived, he passed by a trainer with a domineering panda and a trainer with a sweet and cold beauty.

And these are just the Pokémons placed outside the Poké Ball, which is probably just the tip of the iceberg.

But then again, this also makes Lu Ming, who is carrying the ultrasonic larvae, less conspicuous.

Otherwise, if the ultrasonic larvae were released in Qingyuan Town, it would definitely cause a commotion on the streets.

Of course, even in Nibi City, there are only a few trainers who own high-level or rare Pokémon.

Along the way, many civilian trainers cast envious glances at Lu Ming.

After all, if he already has an ultrasonic larva at this age, then it is only a matter of time before he becomes a dragon knight.

In addition, unlike Qingyuan Town where only Qingyuan Mall can be used to purchase important items for elves, there are prop and gem shops everywhere in the streets and alleys of Nibi City.

Especially the famous Nibi Auction House, even when there are no auction activities, you can buy or exchange for good things that are far superior to those in Qingyuan Mall.

As long as there is enough money, the elves of the residents of Nibi City will grow faster.

"Not bad, not bad~ Although I can shine in Qingyuan Town, coming to Nibi City will give me a wider range of opportunities." Lu Ming muttered to himself.

Since Nibi City is so large, if you don't have flying or other means of transportation, it's best to choose public transportation.

In the elf world, there are not only taxis, buses or subways commonly seen on Blue Star, but also many more abundant options.

At the nodes of each important block, there are goats or Duduli mounts available for rent!

If you need long-distance transportation, you can rent a flying elf on call to provide precise point-to-point delivery.

Of course, raising a flying elf to the point where it can carry people means a lot of resources have been spent.

It is not cheap to rent such an elf, and the cost is much more expensive than taking a plane directly.

Although Lu Ming himself has a telekinetic clay doll that is capable of carrying people and flying, he has a mission here and does not want to expose himself easily, so he can only choose a Duduli nearby.

Generally speaking, it takes a lot of resources for Dudu to evolve into Duduli.

But these Doudulis have no combat talent and are raised faster with special feed.

It can easily carry one or two people, but it has no combat capabilities and is considered a full-time means of transportation.

With Duduli running, Lu Ming quickly arrived at the Pokémon Center located in the core area of ​​Nibi City, because registration for the selection competition two days later had to be held here.

…………

"Yes, Lu Ming, eighteen years old, from Qingyuan Town, and his partner is Ultrasonic Larva."

Lu Ming registered according to the regulations, but the reception staff and many contestants around him were all looking at the ultrasonic larvae beside him.

Although the trainers who come here to sign up have certain abilities, most of them are from commoner backgrounds, so the appearance of the ultrasonic larvae naturally attracts attention.

In their opinion, Lu Ming, who possesses the ultrasonic larvae, must be the young master of a wealthy family, so the elves he created with money must be powerful.

The contestants from ordinary families were either jealous or helpless, while some trainers from wealthy families looked upon Lu Ming as a strong rival.

Lu Ming had just finished registering when he saw a few people trying to approach him and strike up a conversation, so he left in a hurry.

After leaving the Elf Center, Lu Ming planned to rent a house nearby.

Although the housing prices in Nibi City are definitely not low, he now has millions of Alliance Coins on him, so there is no need to put himself and the elves in a difficult position.

Of course, the main reason is that now that he has more and more elves in his hands, Lu Ming has to make higher requirements for living space.

So, Lu Ming found a housing agent, explained his needs, and was taken to a residential community.

The environment of this community is nice, and all the houses are single-family villas with yards.

After looking at several houses listed for rent, Lu Ming fell in love with a two-story building and contacted the owner on the spot.

…………

"Haha~, little brother, you have good taste. Others like to plant a tree in the yard, dig a fish pond or something like that, but I don't like these fancy things!

By the way, I see you also like ground-attribute elves, so you're destined to be mine. I'll give you a discount later."

The owner of the house is named Wager, a middle-aged man who looks very generous.

And because he is good at ground and rock attribute elves, he designed a fairly spacious rocky area in front of the house. Lu Ming felt that the rogue crocodile and other elves would like it.

Since they cannot be easily exposed to the outside, try to create a good environment at home.

But unfortunately, Onix will have to stay in the Poké Ball for a few more days.

After all, if it were released into the yard, it would not be able to cover its huge size, which would be equivalent to being directly exposed.

You know, this is where the Nibe Gym is located, and there are many trainers who are crazy about Rock-type Pokémon.

If people knew that I had a giant onix with a different color, you could imagine the trouble that would follow.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Ming bargained with the landlord for a while and finally signed a contract with an annual rent of 80,000 yuan.

Lu Ming readily paid the deposit and six months' rent. After a simple packing, he notified his cousin Lu Hui, who had arrived in Nibi City earlier, and asked him to come out for a chat.

…………

Chapter 88 Gambling Fight

Night came,

The dark gray style of Nibi City is also unique under the reflection of neon lights.

At an open-air barbecue stall, two young men who looked somewhat similar were eating skewers opposite each other and chatting happily. They were the Lu Ming brothers.

Across the street from where they were sitting was a simple elf battle field where ordinary citizens could fight for fun.

Even though it was already late, there were still many enthusiastic trainers queuing up to find opponents.

From where the Lu Ming brothers were sitting, they could directly appreciate and observe it.

Of course, these civilian trainers don’t fight for nothing. They often agree on a bet before the battle, and the winner takes it.

As for the people watching the game around, they would also gather together to place bets and have a lot of fun.

But even in Nibi City, those who would use this kind of simple street fighting venue are basically just noobs fighting each other, and can only watch for fun.

"Brother~, you finally came to Nibi City. I believe that with your strength, you will definitely get good results in the selection competition and be valued by the alliance."

"It's too early to say anything. This time when I came to Nibi City, I saw many rare elves that I had only seen in documentaries before. I realized that there are always people better than you.

I think this round of trials should have attracted quite a few truly capable trainers."

Lu Hui nodded and said, "Brother, I haven't been doing nothing in Nibi City these days.

Ever since I knew you were going to participate in the trials, I started helping you collect information about other contestants.

This selection competition is to provide fresh blood to the patrol team of Nibi City.

Participants must not be over 20 years old and must have at least one "excellent" elf, so the requirements are quite high.

But if we can achieve good results, the Nibi City officials will certainly be happy to invest. I heard that the prizes for the top few are very generous."

As he spoke, Lu Hui suddenly leaned forward and whispered cautiously:

"To be honest, I'm one of the staff members in charge of this selection competition. I've already gone through the contestants' information for you."

"Oh~, I never thought that one day I would become a relative of someone else." Lu Ming said with a smile.

"Hey, brother, please stop making fun of me. I'm just an ordinary staff member. Apart from some information, I can't do much.

Most of the contestants this time come from ordinary families, so this shouldn't be a big problem. There are only three people who require special attention.

"Oh~, which three people?"

“Two of these three people come from wealthy local families, and their elders hold important positions in the city hall.

These two people are a man and a woman, about the same age as us. The Pokémon they used in the competition were Growlithe and Squirtle, both of whom have reached the peak of "Excellent Level" strength.

As for the other person, he was a traveler from the Unova region, not too old, but the elf he used was an Axefang Dragon."

"Growlithe~, Squirtle~, and Axetooth!" Lu Ming muttered.
