Chapter 467: Plant Trade Fair

Chen Rui took Alice and left the domain of the earth.

During this period, Chen Rui and the Earth Elemental King discussed a series of related things, including Mount Sekorid, the demigod powerhouse, and the mysterious Abyssal Flower, etc., but many questions Moore did not give him answers, but only stated that he should focus on improving his strength at present, and when he reached the corresponding level, many answers would naturally be revealed.

Chen Rui didn't ask any further, the Earth Elemental King has the inheritance of the past generations, and undoubtedly knows some important insiders, the reason why he kept it secret must be kind, and he just wants him to focus on cultivation, just like Laura has temporarily hidden the secret of the silver box.

Chen Rui faintly felt that in the "stage" from the peak Demon Emperor to the demigod, he should touch some realms or secrets that are not known to outsiders, but now his strength is indeed far behind, so he should accept the kindness of his friends and lovers and concentrate on improving his strength.

It will take three months for the Earth Elementals to absorb the Soil of the Fertile Element and "evolve", and after three months, the Earth Elemental Monarch will travel to the Sea of Death to meet with the Water Elemental Monarch and obtain the things left behind by the fall of the previous Earth Elemental King, and his strength will be further strengthened.

Elementals will not easily interfere in external affairs, and Chen Rui promised not to involve the Earth Elementals in disputes between empires, but only to provide some protection and help when necessary.

After finishing the affairs of the Fertile Yuan Land, Chen Rui left the Valan Fortress, but did not return directly to the Dark Moon, but went west to Leia Town, because Xiao Lori learned from Tim that Leia Town happened to be holding a unique plant trade fair these days, which was very lively. So at the request of little Lori, Chen Rui agreed to her request and took her for a walk.

After all, the last time she released her pigeons in the territory of Blood Vitex, this time she came out, except for the night attack and the impersonation of her fiancée, Xiao Lori's performance was still good, so let her be happy.

Seeing that Chen Rui agreed to the request, little Lori jumped with joy, and the two did not ride a two-legged flying dragon, but put on a little makeup and went west through the main road.

Compared with Chen Rui's surprise attack on Leia Town, the avenue leading to the Shadow Empire to the west has been renovated, and the road surface has been greatly widened, with three checkpoints along the way, guarded by the Moon Shadow Army, to protect the business travelers.

Dark Moon's partnership with the Shadow Empire is now well known, although the border checkpoints between the two countries are very well guarded, but there are not too many checks or difficulties for merchants and travelers, Chen Rui and Xiao Lori pretend to be a pair of brothers and sisters, and enter Leia Town smoothly.

Originally, Xiao Lori's proposal was to pretend to be a husband and wife, but Chen Rui didn't agree with this person's idea of being a little ghost, and his identity was changed to brother and sister. However, along the way, the "sister" gave full play to the characteristics of glue and stuck to the "brother", which caused some passers-by to cast strange eyes.

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 glad that he is just playing the role of "brother and sister", if he is a "father and daughter", he is afraid that he will hang a Lori brand koala on his body all day long, and his neck will hang out with cervical spondylitis.

The two made it to the town of Leia, two days into the "botanical convention". As Tim said, the town of Leia is bustling with activity, half of the territory of the Shadow Empire is forested, rich in plants, and the "Plant Trade Fair" is held every three years.

Generally, a large merchant displays plant samples provided by various origins and merchants in a fixed venue, and buyers can directly buy or order corresponding finished products or seeds with a cheap "origin price", and large merchants get a certain commission from it, and provide risk and credit protection for buyers and sellers. ..., large merchants also acquire some special plants, in short, it is a unique plant event.

The location of the plant trade fair varies from year to year, but this time the choice was made in the town of Leia, which is adjacent to the Dark Moon, and it was also to take advantage of the spring breeze of the trade boom with the Dark Moon, and this choice proved to be very successful.

The exhibition site is a temporary centralized open-air place in the square, the scope is very large, several entrances and exits are guarded by soldiers, and there are patrols to maintain order in the venue, which seems to be in order.

Chen Rui took the little Lori, and saw all kinds of strange plants in the trade hall, and there were corresponding numbers and profiles in front of the exhibits, and those who intend to buy can write down the number, and then go to the trading hall to negotiate.

There are all kinds of these plants, not only Xiao Lori, but even Chen Rui is dazzled.

Some can emit a strong smell to disperse high-level magical beasts, some can emit melodious musical sounds, some have the environmental color camouflage effect of chameleons when held in their hands, and some can make people walk on the mire without sinking...... There are also many dangerous carnivorous or vampire plants, which are isolated by the corresponding magic circles to ensure safety.

Chen Rui has taken a fancy to some mutated crops, which can provide far more yield and energy supply than the existing crops of Dark Moon, although it is noted that the growing conditions are more harsh, but with the strongest "magic soil" of the third-level refining dust in the Dark Moon's secret grain base, it should be able to be planted smoothly, not only that, but the already ultra-high yield will also be doubled again, greatly increasing food reserves.

Little Lori took a fancy to four things, the first mutated Lala potato powder, which will continue to fart when eaten in food; the second is a golden fruit that smells mellow but tastes extremely sour; the third is the mantra flower, which has no special aroma, but the flower aroma will make people have a special exhilarating effect, and it is easy to tell the truth, this one is relatively rare, and it costs a hundred black crystal coins to a plant; zuihou is even rarer, it is a delicate and beautiful flower, but it will roar like a monster, and it will also spray an itchy liquid, called a roaring flower。

Chen Rui is secretly embarrassed, these four are all prank gadgets, you know, the attributes of little Lori are not only cute and sensible, but also black-bellied, I remember that I had her way when we met for the first time, it seems that this time I went back, and someone was going to suffer.

Despite this, Chen Rui still couldn't resist Xiao Loli's pleading eyes and promised to help her buy it.

In fact, don't say it's Chen Rui, Xiao Lori herself is now a big boss with a lot of money, and a hundred black crystal coins really didn't take it in her eyes, but the gift that Chen Rui personally bought and gave was completely different from the meaning she bought herself, and the excited little Lori took advantage of the "brother" to launch a surprise attack and plant another strawberry on someone's face.

To Chen Rui's surprise, in the trading hall, Xiao Loli's four things were successfully sold, but the seeds of the mutated crops he asked for encountered obstacles, and those seeds belonged to special restricted products, which must be authorized by the lords of the Shadow Empire to be eligible for large-scale purchases.

When Chen Rui was frowning, a group of people walked down from the upper floor of the trading hall, among them was a young girl, and even the mayor of Leia Town, Raymont, who was on the side, looked respectful and flattering.

This girl is obviously from a prominent background, wearing a luxurious short skirt, with a youthful and beautiful appearance, she is not flustered under the attention of so many people, and her speech and demeanor appear generous and elegant.

As soon as the girl appeared, she immediately attracted Chen Rui's attention, and Alice felt Chen Rui's gaze and looked at the girl dissatisfied.

The girl's age is not much older than Alice, her pure and lovely temperament is somewhat similar, and her appearance is a little inferior, but now Alice is "disguised", and her appearance is an ordinary girl. However, little Lori's eyes were fixed on the girl's towering chest, and her fists clenched involuntarily - how could it be so big..., indeed, this girl's plump bust is only slightly inferior to Athena and Ji Ya, and with this age, it can definitely be described with four words: childlike big breasts.

Little Lori has a resentment of going to the corner to draw circles - there are so many big-breasted stars in the world, why is there only one princess?

The reason why Chen Rui paid attention to this girl was because she was an "acquaintance", and the relationship was very unusual.

Spirit Link (Master and Servant Link): Selene, Archdemon (mutation).

Selene is the heir to the Castel family, the first business family of the Shadow Empire, with a pure and innocent appearance, but she is extremely deep in the city and ruthless. At the beginning, Chen Rui participated in the Shadow Empire's Maker Contest as a representative of Selene's brother Dio, and after emerging in the preliminary round, he was assassinated by Selene's people. After the assassination attempt, Selene promised to lure with heavy profits and even used her own beauty, but Chen Rui was unmoved, and defeated the dual-line proficient master Horford on behalf of Selene's side in the final, and then Selene lured Chen Rui to ambush under the instructions of Ji Ya's sister Fadilu, and finally Chen Rui slashed the big demon king-level Tapli and captured Fatillu, Celine immediately expressed her submission and signed a master-servant contract.

Speaking of which, it took a lot of effort to subdue the girl, but Selene also got the public support of "Master Arthur", so she became the first heir of the Custer family as she wished, and her father Lopez has now basically handed over all the power of the family to Selene, and Selene did not live up to her father's expectations, especially in the decision to trade with Darkmoon, showing admirable foresight, becoming the first business family to ally with Darkmoon, and founded the United Chamber of Commerce.

Now that the Dark Moon has risen, the United Chamber of Commerce has become the largest chamber of commerce, with all kinds of privileges that other families and chambers of commerce do not have, and with it comes huge profits, which makes the rest of the families blush. Not only Dark Moon, but under Selene's management, the business of the Custer family is thriving, and its influence in the Shadow Empire is also expanding.

Selene is obviously thinner than at the beginning, the original baby fat is gone, her mental state is extremely strong, and her eyes reveal strong confidence from time to time, although her face and temperament are still girlish, but there is a faint bit of the prototype of a strong woman in the business world.

The eldest lady was quietly listening to the compliments of Raymont, the mayor of Leia Town, on the side, when suddenly a voice came from her ears, and her originally determined face changed slightly, and she walked towards Chen Rui under her feet.

Chen Rui didn't look at Selene again, but just pretended to be dissatisfied and shouted to the salesman of the trading hall: "I'm going to set these seeds, so let's do it, I'll pay double the price! No, three times!"

The salesman was the best at observing words and feelings, and saw that Chen Rui was a wealthy master, so he didn't dare to excuse himself, and showed embarrassment: "I'm sorry, it's not a matter of price......

Seeing that Chen Rui's voice was getting louder and louder, Leimeng, the mayor of Leia Town, had the intention to behave in front of Selene, and walked straight over: "Since you have come to the trade fair, you must abide by the rules! Otherwise, you will be listed as persona non grata and expelled from Leia Town!"

"It's just a town mayor, it's so majestic!" Chen Rui sneered, Raymont was about to have a seizure, his eyes were matched with the faint deterrence in Chen Rui's eyes, he couldn't help but shudder, and the rest of the cruel words suddenly choked in his throat.

With the strength of the Raymont Demon King, he naturally didn't know that this was a wonderful use of the realm, but that this person's spirit was extraordinary, and his origin was definitely not small, but he was afraid that he couldn't afford to offend.

At this time, Selene's voice came: "This guest, I am Selene 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 it to you, but there is a special rule that this type of crop seeds cannot be sold in bulk, and if you can't provide proof of your lord's authorization, then I can also use a small privilege, as long as you can give us the rare plants we need in exchange, then you can have these seeds. "...,"Exchange?" Chen Rui nodded, "It just so happens that I have a lot of rare plants, I don't know what kind of Miss Selene needs?"

"It's not easy to talk here, so let's go upstairs to the VIP room. ”

Chen Rui wanted to say this, and took Xiao Lori together, under the gaze of Raymont and others, and followed Seline upstairs.

Coming to the VIP room, Selene ordered the guards around her to retreat and guard the gate, her eyes fell on Alice beside Chen Rui, and little Lori subconsciously tightened Chen Rui's arm.

"Alice, will you wait outside for me?"

When Xiao Lori heard that Chen Rui was going to "talk about business" with this big-breasted woman alone, she pouted her mouth unhappily, and finally nodded sensibly, but when she left, she kissed him in front of Seilen like a demonstration, Selene smiled slightly, and ordered the guards at the door to arrange Alice next door and serve tea and snacks.

After the arrangements were made, Selene opened the soundproof magic array in the VIP room and saluted Chen Rui: "I've seen the master." ”

Chen Rui nodded, his face began to change rapidly, and he changed into the appearance of the "Master Arthur" Great Demon: "Although I haven't shown up for a while, I know what you have done, you have done a good job, especially the cooperation with Dark Moon, and now you should be in the position of the controller of the Custer family." ”

When Selene heard the sentence "I know everything I do", her heart was dark, and she knew that life and death were in the hands of the person in front of her, and immediately replied carefully: "All this comes from the master." ”

"Don't be humble, your abilities are there. I need a lot of seeds right now, I wonder if there's a way to provide them?"

"Does the master really want those seeds?" Selene originally thought it was just an excuse for a meeting, and muttered slightly: "This matter is a little difficult, originally the restrictions on these seeds were not so strict, but after the land was improved, they were deliberately restricted by Empress Bixia as strategic materials to control export sales." I have a certain quota on hand, which I can give to the master in full, about three hundred pieces of each. ”

Chen Rui didn't expect to be "cocooned and self-bound", it seems that Catherine's restriction on export sales is mainly aimed at the dark moon.

ps: This time of work is super busy, the first thought when I come back from work in the afternoon is to lie down and sleep, but no, I want to buy vegetables and cook, my wife and children come back to eat, after all the trivial things are done, it is almost 9 o'clock in the evening, my wife and children rest, I can start to code words.

To be honest, typing and writing are two different things, the key is to be difficult to conceive, and to connect with the previous plot, interlocking to avoid leaks and bugs. Especially some light-hearted or feeling plots, if you don't have good feelings brewing in your heart, you can't write them. Sometimes I can't do it for two hours, my mind and body are too tired, my eyelids fight, and when I finish a chapter, it's at least 1 o'clock in the morning, and two or three o'clock is commonplace. Friends and relatives or something, basically cut off contact, and there is really no time.

I usually sleep 5 or 6 hours a day, and I just do it for a day or two, and I am really tired after more than half a year. Aside from illness, the book has never been interrupted.

The biggest motivation for this persistence is the interest in creation and the support of all book friends, as for the results, they can only be described in two words: dismal, and now they don't even have the courage to ask the editor for a recommendation position.

I also want to have a breakout, I want to have forty-eight hours in a day, I want to exercise......

If the plot and speed make everyone feel unsatisfied, please understand, the energy is limited and the time is limited, long live the understanding. I don't dare to ask for a monthly pass, free recommended tickets, if you have it, please vote for it.

The text of this chapter is more than 4200 words, and I am a little depressed, I have nowhere to tell, and I am verbose for a few hundred words.
