Chen Rui took Alice and left the realm of the earth.
During this period, Chen Rui and the Earth Elemental King talked about a series of related things, including Secored Mountain, the demigod strongman and the mysterious flower of the abyss, etc. However, Moore did not give him answers to many questions, but only stated that he was currently
You should focus on improving your strength. When you reach the corresponding level, many answers will naturally be revealed.
Chen Rui did not ask any more questions. The earth element king has the inheritance of past generations and undoubtedly knows some important inside information. The reason why he kept it secret must be well-intentioned. He just wanted him to focus on his practice, just like Laura temporarily concealed the secret of the silver box.
.
Chen Rui vaguely felt that after the peak demon emperor reached the "stage" of demigods, he should have touched some areas or secrets that were not known to outsiders, but now his strength is indeed far from enough, so he should accept his friends
With the kindness of your lover, concentrate on improving your strength.
It takes three months for the earth elemental people to absorb the fertile soil and "evolve". After three months, the earth elemental king will go to the Sea of Death to meet the water elemental king and obtain what was left behind when the previous earth elemental king fell.
, the strength will be further enhanced.
Elemental people would not easily interfere with external affairs. Chen Rui promised not to involve earth elemental people in disputes between empires, but would only provide certain protection and help when necessary.
After settling the matter in Wo Yuan Land, Chen Rui left Valan Fortress, but did not return directly to Dark Moon, but headed west to Leia Town, because the little Loli learned from Tim that Leia Town has been
There happened to be a unique plant trade fair being held, which was very lively. So at Little Loli's request, Chen Rui agreed to her request and took her for a walk.
After all, the last time she released her dove in the territory of the Blood Wattle Flower, this time she came out, except for the night attack and pretending to be her fiancée, the little loli performed well, so let her be happy for once.
Seeing that Chen Rui agreed to the request, the little Loli jumped for joy. The two of them did not ride on the flying dragon, but put on a little makeup and headed west through the main road.
Compared with Chen Rui's surprise attack on Leia Town, the road leading to the Shadow Empire in the west has been renovated and the road has been greatly widened. There are three sections of checkpoints along the way, guarded by the Moon Shadow Army to protect the business travelers. It also appeared in the beginning
In the case of embezzlement and personal enrichment, after Tim executed several examples as a warning, all the soldiers at the checkpoint behaved themselves. The good atmosphere formed after this rectification also led to more and more business travelers coming and going.
Dark Moon's cooperative relationship with the Shadow Empire is now well known. Although the border checkpoints between the two countries are heavily guarded, there are not too many checks or troubles for merchants and travelers. Chen Rui and Xiao Loli pretended to be a brother and sister, which was very easy.
Entered the town of Laiya smoothly.
Originally, the little Lolita's suggestion was to pretend to be a couple, but Chen Rui did not agree with this person's idea of being a little devil, and changed their identities to brother and sister. However, along the way, the "sister" gave full play to the properties of glue and stuck to the "brother".
This caused some passers-by to cast strange looks.
The temperature in this area is low, but Chen Rui's arms are sweating, which shows the skill of the little glue girl. He is a little lucky that he is only playing the role of "brother and sister". If he were "father and daughter", I'm afraid he would be wearing it all day long.
Even a Lolita koala will develop cervical spondylitis from its neck.
The two entered Leia Town smoothly, and the "Plant Conference" had already started for two days. As Tim said, Leia Town was bustling with activity, and half of the Shadow Empire's territory was forested.
Rich in plants, the "Plant Trade Fair" is held every three years.
Generally, a large merchant will display plant samples provided by various origins and merchants in a fixed venue. Buyers can directly purchase or order the corresponding finished products or seeds at a cheap "origin price", and the large merchant will receive a certain commission from it and provide
Risk and credit protection for buyers and sellers.
Large merchants also purchased some special plants. All in all, it was a unique plant event.
The location of the Plant Trade Fair is different every time. This time, the town of Leia, which is adjacent to the Dark Moon, was chosen to take advantage of the boom in trade with the Dark Moon. Facts have proved that this choice is very successful.
The exhibition location is a temporary centralized open-air venue in the square. It is very large. Several entrances and exits are guarded by soldiers. There are also patrols to maintain order inside the venue, making it appear to be very orderly.
Chen Rui took the little Lolita and saw all kinds of strange plants in the trade hall. There are corresponding numbers and introductions in front of the exhibits. Those who are interested in buying can write down the numbers and then go to the trade hall to negotiate.
There are so many kinds of plants that not only little Lolita, but even Chen Rui was dazzled by them.
Some can emit a strong odor to drive away high-level monsters, some can emit melodious music, some have a chameleon-like environmental camouflage effect when held in the hand, and some can enable people to walk in the mire without sinking... and there are many more
Some dangerous carnivorous or blood-sucking plants are isolated by corresponding magic circles to ensure safety.
Chen Rui has taken a fancy to some mutated crops that can provide far greater yields and energy supply than Dark Moon's existing crops. Although the growth conditions are stated to be harsh, the strongest "magic" of the third-level refining dust in Dark Moon's secret food base is
"Soil" should be able to be planted smoothly. Not only that, the already high yield will be doubled again, greatly increasing food reserves.
The little loli took her fancy to four things. The first was mutated potato powder, which would cause stinky farts if eaten in food. The second was a golden fruit that had a sweet smell but tasted extremely sour.
The first one is the truth flower, which has no special fragrance, but the fragrance of the flower will give people a special excitement effect, making it easy to tell the truth. This one is relatively rare, costing one hundred black crystal coins per plant; the last one is even rarer, and is a flower.
This flower looks delicate and beautiful, but it roars like a monster and sprays an itchy liquid. It is called the Roaring Flower.
Chen Rui secretly felt ashamed. These four kinds of gadgets were all pranks. You must know that the attributes of a little loli are not only cute and sensible, but also sinister. He remembered that he had fallen in love with her when they first met.
, it seems that when we go back this time, someone will suffer again.
Despite this, Chen Rui still couldn't resist the little Loli's pleading eyes and agreed to buy it for her.
In fact, not to mention Chen Rui, Little Loli herself is now a wealthy boss. The one hundred black crystal coins are indeed not taken seriously, but the gift that Chen Rui bought personally has the same meaning as her own.
Differently, the excited little loli took advantage of her "brother"'s unpreparedness, launched a surprise attack, and planted another strawberry on someone's face.
What surprised Chen Rui was that in the trading hall, four things from Little Loli were successfully sold, but the seeds of the mutant crops he wanted encountered obstacles. Those seeds were special restricted products and must be purchased from within the Shadow Empire.
Only with the authorization of the lord can you be qualified to purchase in large quantities.
When Chen Rui was frowning, a group of people came down from the upstairs of the trading hall, and among them was a young girl. Even Raymond, the mayor of Laiya Town, looked respectful and flattering.
This girl was obviously from a prominent family. She was wearing a luxurious short skirt and had a youthful and beautiful appearance. She was not flustered under the attention of so many people, and her speech and behavior seemed generous and elegant.
As soon as the girl appeared, she immediately caught Chen Rui's attention. Alice felt Chen Rui's gaze and looked at the girl dissatisfied.
The girl is not much older than Alice. Her pure and lovely temperament is somewhat similar, but her appearance is a bit inferior. However, Alice is now "disguised" and looks like an ordinary girl. However, the little loli's eyes are so fixed
Staring at the girl's towering chest, her fists clenched involuntarily - why are they so big!
Indeed, this girl's plump bust is only slightly inferior to Athena and Jiya. For her age, she can definitely be described as childlike.
The little loli felt like drawing circles in the corner - there are so many sexy people in the world, why is this princess the only one missing?
The reason why Chen Rui paid attention to this girl was because she was an "acquaintance" and the relationship was very unusual.
Spiritual link (master-servant link): Celine, the big devil (mutated).
Celine is the heir to the Custer family, the largest business family in the Shadow Empire. She looks innocent and innocent, but is very deep and ruthless. Chen Rui originally participated in the Shadow Empire's weapon maker competition as a representative of Celine's brother Dio. In the preliminary round,
After rising to prominence, Celine was assassinated by someone sent by Celine. After the assassination attempt failed, Celine promised him huge profits or even nothing.
She reluctantly used her own beauty to seduce, but Chen Rui remained unmoved. In the final, she defeated Horford, a dual-system proficient master who represented Celine's side. Then Celine, under the instructions of Ji Ya's sister Fatilu, seduced Chen Rui into ambush.
In the end, Chen Rui killed the great demon-level Tapli and captured Fatilu. Celine immediately expressed her surrender and signed a master-servant contract.
Speaking of which, it took a lot of effort to subdue this girl, but Celine also received the public support of "Master Arthur" and became the first heir of the Custer family as she wished. Her father Lopez is now basically
She handed over all the family power to Celine, and Celine lived up to her father's expectations. She especially showed admirable foresight in the decision to do business with the Dark Moon. She became the first business family to form an alliance with the Dark Moon and founded the
United Chamber of Commerce.
Now that Dark Moon has risen, the United Chamber of Commerce has suddenly become the largest chamber of commerce. It has various privileges that other families and chambers of commerce do not have, and with it comes huge profits, making other families jealous. Not only Dark Moon, but also Celine's
Under the management, the Custer family's business is booming, and their influence in the Shadow Empire is also expanding day by day. Not long ago, they were summoned by Emperor Catherine the Great and got the job of hosting the Plant Trade Fair.
Celine is obviously thinner than before, and her original baby fat has disappeared. Her mental state is extremely strong, and her eyes often show strong self-confidence. Although her face and temperament are still that of a girl, she is vaguely a prototype of a strong business woman.
.
The eldest lady was calmly listening to the compliments of Raymond, the mayor of Laiya Town, when suddenly a voice came to her ears. Her originally determined expression changed slightly, and she walked towards Chen Rui.
Chen Rui didn't look at Celine anymore, but pretended to be dissatisfied and shouted to the salesperson of the trading hall: "I want to order these seeds. Let's do this. I'll pay double the price! No, triple!"
The salesman was the most observant, and he saw that Chen Rui was a wealthy man. He didn't dare to offend, and showed a troubled expression: "I'm sorry, this is not a matter of price..."
Seeing Chen Rui's voice getting louder and louder, Laymont, the mayor of Laiya Town, wanted to show off in front of Celine and walked straight over: "Since you have come to the trade fair, you must abide by the rules! Otherwise, you will be listed as a disgrace.
Popular people, be expelled from Laia Town!"
"It's just a mayor, so powerful!" Chen Rui sneered. Raymond was about to have a fit. His eyes matched the faint intimidation in Chen Rui's eyes. He couldn't help but shuddered, and he choked on the rest of his harsh words.
in the throat.
With Raymond's Demon King-level strength, he naturally didn't realize that this was a magical use of the field. He only knew that this person was of extraordinary courage and his background was definitely not small, so he couldn't afford to offend him.
At this time Celine's voice came over: "This guest, I am Celine from the Custer family, the person in charge of this trade fair, please give me a chance to explain. It's not that we don't sell to you, but
There are special regulations. This type of crop seeds cannot be sold in bulk. If you cannot provide the lord's authorization certificate, then I can also use a small privilege, as long as you can produce the rare plants we need as
Exchange, then you can own these seeds."
"Exchange?" Chen Rui nodded, "I happen to have a lot of rare plants. I wonder which ones Miss Celine needs?"
"It's not very convenient to talk here. Let's go to the VIP room upstairs."
With these words, Chen Rui took Little Loli and followed Celine upstairs under the watchful eyes of Raymond and others.
Arriving at the VIP room, Celine ordered the guards around her to step back and guard the door. Her eyes fell on Alice next to Chen Rui. The little Loli subconsciously held Chen Rui's arm tightly.
"Alice, can you go outside and wait for me?"
When the little Lolita heard that Chen Rui wanted to "discuss business" with this big-breasted girl alone, she curled her mouth unhappily, and finally nodded sensibly. Before leaving, she kissed him in front of Celine like a demonstrator.
Celine smiled slightly and ordered the guard at the door to arrange Alice next door and serve her tea and snacks.
After the arrangements were made, Celine turned on the soundproof magic circle in the VIP room and saluted Chen Rui: "I have met the master."
Chen Rui nodded, and his face began to change rapidly, changing into the appearance of the great devil "Master Arthur": "Although I haven't shown my face during this time, I know everything you did, and you did a good job.
, especially with the cooperation with Dark Moon, now you should be firmly in control of the Custer family."
When Celine heard the words "I know everything I do," she felt secretly in her heart, knowing that her life and death were in the hands of the person in front of her. She immediately and carefully replied: "All of this comes from the master."
"There's no need to be modest. Your abilities are there. I need a lot of seeds now. Is there any way to provide them?"
"Master really wants those seeds?" Celine originally thought it was just an excuse for the meeting, and pondered for a moment: "This matter is a bit difficult. Originally, the restrictions on these seeds were not so strict. It was only after the land improvement that the Queen
Your Majesty specially restricted it to strategic materials and controlled export. I have a certain quota on hand and can give them all to the master, about three hundred pieces each."
Land improvement? Chen Rui didn't expect to "trap himself". It seems that Catherine's restriction on export is mainly aimed at the Dark Moon.
ps: I’m super busy with work during this period. When I came back from get off work in the afternoon, my first thought was to lie still and take a nap, but that didn’t work. I had to buy groceries and cook, and my wife and children wanted to eat when they got home. After all the chores were done, that was about it. It's 9 o'clock in the evening, my wife and children have rested, and I can start typing.
To be honest, typing and writing are two different things. The key is that it is difficult to conceive, and it must be connected with the previous plots to avoid loopholes and bugs. Especially some relaxed or emotional plots, if you don’t have a good feeling in your heart, it is
I can't write. Sometimes I can't even start writing for two hours. I'm too exhausted mentally and physically, and my eyelids are constantly fighting. After finishing a chapter, it's at least 1 a.m., and it's commonplace at two or three o'clock. Friends, relatives, etc., basically
I've cut off contact and I really don't have time.
I usually only sleep 5 or 6 hours a day, and I only pay it off in one or two days. I have been doing this over and over again for more than half a year, and I am really tired. Sometimes I want to be lazy and forget about it for a few days, but I also think that I can’t let down those friends who are waiting for the update, so I insist on it.
Down. Except for illness, the book has never been interrupted.
The biggest motivation for this kind of persistence is the interest in creation and the support of all book friends. As for the results, I can only use two words to describe them: dismal. Now I don’t even have the courage to ask the editor for a recommendation.
I also want to explode, I also want to have forty-eight hours in a day, I also want to exercise...
If the plot and speed make you feel dissatisfied, please understand. I have limited energy and limited time, so long live your understanding. I don’t dare ask for monthly votes, but free recommendation votes. If you have them, please vote for them.
This chapter has more than 4,200 words. I feel a little depressed and have nowhere to express it. I have spent hundreds of words. When I am not so busy, I will try to save a few chapters to explode.
