"But I think it's more likely that the settlements are reluctant to spend this money." Tang Yu put forward his opinion, then approached Jiang Ming a little, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Jiang Ming, you don't know, since the settlement outside the city was built, the successive commanders of Lindu City have not treated them half kindly. ”

"I don't know the specific situation, but what I do know is that because those settlements have been sucked by Lindu City all the year round, most of the money they earn has been exchanged for food, and it is estimated that the entire settlement will not save more than 100,000 federal coins after so many years."

Hearing this, Jiang Ming's heart was clear.

Then, for no reason, Jiang Ming suddenly remembered the five people he had seen before entering the city.

He also "gifted" them a third-order Forest Ghost Wolf Spirit Core, Jiang Ming still knows a little about the value of this thing, even if there is Lin Ducheng's exploitation, it is estimated that he should be able to get twenty or thirty thousand federal coins.

And with this windfall, presumably that settlement should not be too entangled when buying elves.

Even in Jiang Ming's heart, he faintly felt that the first settlement that Tang Yu had just heard about buying elves might be them.

However, this question was just a temporary stay in Jiang Ming's mind, after all, the relationship between him and those settlers was just a simple chance encounter, and after receiving the reward given to them by Jiang Ming from the other party, the two were clear.

Back to reality, Jiang Ming looked at Tang Yu, who was sipping with a teacup in front of him, and asked casually: "Listen to what you just meant, did you also buy an elf?" ”

Because Tang Yu said that he only heard the news about the purchase of elves in the settlement when he signed the elf purchase agreement, Jiang Ming asked.

"Yes." Tang Yu sneered, but the expression on his face gradually became yearning: "The two giant vines in the store were brought back from outside by the boss last year at a large price. From the moment they hatched to where they are now, I have watched them. ”

Saying that, Tang Yu puffed up his chest proudly: "And the boss has also taught us how to take care of these elves, and I can be regarded as having some experience in cultivating elves." ”

"So you bought an arabesque too?" Jiang Ming said with a smile.

"Hmm." Tang Yu didn't hide it and replied straightforwardly.

The official price of the vine monster is 100,000 federal coins, but because there is an event now, and Tang Yu finally pre-ordered an arabesque at a price of 88% off after various preferential methods were superimposed.

Today, the people in the outlet have made it very clear to him, because they mainly sell elf eggs, but there is no long-term storage environment here, there are not many elf eggs in the outlets, and their main task is to wait for the buyer to sign an agreement, and then transfer goods from nearby medium-sized cities here.

Although there is a certain discount, this price is almost emptying all his family funds for Tang Yu.

So to be on the safe side, he unsurprisingly chose the vine monster he knew best as the initial elf.

Besides, after getting along with the two giant vines in the store for such a long time, Tang Yu is actually very satisfied with this kind of elf, even if in the end his vine monster can't evolve and can't grow to the point of the third order, but as long as he can stabilize his strength at the second order in the end, it will not be a loss for Tang Yu.

"Okay, now that you've made your decision." Jiang Ming didn't continue to say anything.

However, as for the evolution of the vine monster, Jiang Ming felt that Tang Yu didn't have to worry about it so much, after all, most of the elves that are now flowing into the market are directly edited and cultivated by the gene code, so there will not be much gap in talent potential, as long as the later cultivation is done properly, there is no problem in growing to the third order.

It's just that considering that Tang Yu bought an elf egg, Jiang Ming planned to wait for the other party to get the egg in a few days, and he planned to check it himself.

In case this buddy is really unlucky and encounters a deformed child who is unique in ten thousand, Jiang Ming can still use Chang Pan's power to recuperate him in advance.

……

Time passed quickly, and Jiang Ming stayed in Lindu City for another four or five days.

When Jiang Ming first moved in, he paid for ten days' room fee, and according to the rules, he still couldn't get a refund.

Although he didn't care about the money, he still continued to live on the principle of not wasting it.

Besides, isn't there anything else about the "noble lady", Jiang Ming finally planned to see if the two detectives from the supervision department could find more clues about the "noble lady" before he left.

Since Jiang Ming and Tang Yu came back that day, the next day Machado told him that the two agents had given up monitoring him, and the reason was because they had received information from their peers and recognized Jiang Ming's identity.

But after all, it wasn't Jiang Ming's contribution, so in addition to getting a few elves in the room these days, he just went to the lobby of the inn from time to time to listen to the braggings of those hunters.

Occasionally, there is still fun.

Although at the beginning, those guys were afraid of Jiang Ming's identity and didn't dare to talk too much, but after he came more later, and even invited the audience to drink a few times, this group of guys no longer suppressed their inner nature, and the hall also returned to the buzzing voice of the past.

Anyway, Jiang Ming is idle when he is idle, so it is better to spend some money to have fun.

It's just that Jiang Ming has been happy these days, but the other person has changed from full of expectations at the beginning to a sad face now.

"Don Jr. is thinking about your vine monster again?" Jiang Ming carried a special cocktail drink to Tang Yu, who was resting by the bar.

Jiang Ming doesn't like to drink, so Tong Tian, the owner and bartender of this hotel, specially mixed several drinks with only a trace of alcohol, and the taste is also very good.

It's just that the price will be slightly more expensive.

"Mr. Jiang Ming." After seeing the comer, Tang Yu quickly stood up, and a professional smile instantly appeared on his face.

It's just that in Jiang Ming's eyes, he only saw a big word "sorrow" in the other party's smile.

"Alas, looking at your appearance, didn't everyone say it, there are too many people buying elves now, and even medium-sized cities such as Shaoguan City are occasionally out of stock, let alone you here." Jiang Ming comforted Tang Yu with a smile, and asked the boss on the side for a glass of beer and stuffed it into his hand, "Relax." ”

"I understand what you're saying, but I'm just a little worried that there has been no news for so many days." Tang Yu looked at the wine glass in his hand, and he didn't have any interest at all.

At this moment, the door of the hotel was suddenly pushed open, and he shouted: "Something is wrong!" ”
