At two o'clock in the morning, a crescent moon hung in the dark night sky, and the pale and bright moonlight fell down, adding a bit of coolness to the city.
On the streets late at night, rows of buildings were pitch black, with no other light sources except dim street lights.
Zhao Chen yawned. During the day, he still spent the day at the Elf Arena. At night, he successfully deceived Zhao Jin on the pretext of "My classmate is not going back tonight for his birthday."
After passing through several streets, Zhao Chen successfully arrived at the entrance of Tiandu Hotel under the guidance of Gaode Map.
After circling around, he finally found the way to the underground parking lot.
In addition to him, there were several other figures wearing hoods and masks not far away. It was obvious that they were ordinary citizens who came to buy elves.
Zhao Chen followed them into the dark underground parking lot, using the weak light of his mobile phone to illuminate the way forward.
The group of people walked straight through the corridor and went down the stairs to the second negative floor. At this time, everything in front of them suddenly became clear.
The space here is very spacious. It looks like it used to be a large warehouse. There are several incandescent lamps hanging on the surrounding walls, and the bright light illuminates the entire space.
Looking around, one can see rows of rather simple temporary tents, in which there are many elves imprisoned in cages, such as Pikachu, Caracara, and Baby Bear.
After walking around in a circle, Zhao Chen couldn't help but feel a little regretful. There were no rare elves like Charmander here, but the prices of other elves were very cheap. A Caracara only cost 6,000 yuan.
In addition to selling elves, some tents also sell evolution stones such as fire stones and thunder stones, as well as some common move cheats.
"Young man, is there anything you want?"
In the tent, the boss who covered his head with black stockings asked.
Zhao Chen straightened the Father of Ultra mask with his hands. He glanced at the evolution stones here and asked, "Are these the only ones you have here?"
"Um..." The boss pondered for a moment, then stood up and took out a cardboard box from the glove box in the corner: "There are some more here."
He spread a piece of cloth on the ground and poured the contents of the carton onto it.
The things there are very miscellaneous, but they are all useless props, such as ancient bracelets, ancient copper coins, meteorite fragments and the like.
"These are very collectible items. If you are interested, I can sell them to you cheaper," the boss said.
Looking at these things wrapped in soil, Zhao Chen was not only speechless. He suspected that these were cultural relics unearthed from tombs. He did not expect that the elf hunter organization also part-timed in tomb robbing...
As if aware of what Zhao Chen was thinking, the boss said: "Ours is just the lowest elf market. If you want to buy rarer props or elves, you can only buy them at the top elf market."
"oh?"
Zhao Chen's heart moved. This elf market was actually divided into levels. No wonder he didn't see rare elves like small fire dragons, chrysanthemums and grass leaves here...
"Then can you tell me how to get to the top elf market?"
"You can't go here." The boss smiled and explained: "You need a ticket to go there. A ticket costs one million. Can you afford it?"
"So expensive?!" Zhao Chen was a little surprised.
"Of course, the top elf market is specially prepared for rich people. The elves and props there are all the best of the best!" the boss laughed.
"Okay." Zhao Chen was a little helpless. He stood up and inadvertently saw a photo hanging beside him.
The background of the photo is a large forest, with a man wearing an eyepatch on it. Behind the man, there is a black ruga and a flying mantis.
Sensing Zhao Chen's gaze, the boss explained: "That is the founder of our elf hunter organization. In our industry, he is a god-like existence. Every time I go out to catch elves, I have to offer him incense.
I hope this trip goes smoothly."
"All right."
Zhao Chen twitched the corner of his mouth, turned around and left the tent. At this time, more and more passers-by came here.
He walked around the crowd for several times and finally found another shop that specialized in buying props. Compared with the one just now, the items sold here were more practical.
Silver spray is a spray that emits a special smell. Elves are particularly disgusted with this smell. Some trainers who go on adventures will carry this spray to drive away elves.
The Soothing Bell is a bell that makes a pleasant sound. This sound will soothe the elf's mood and make it easier to get close to the trainer. It was developed by the Pikachu Company.
The Immutable Stone is a magical stone that can inhibit the power of elf evolution. Elves will not evolve after wearing it.
Zhao Chen took a general glance and found that although these second-hand props were relatively cheap, they were of little use to him.
After hesitating for a while, he still spent 800 yuan to buy the Bell of Comfort. After paying, he was about to leave when he saw a round stone with special patterns in the middle, like
It's like the marbles I played with when I was a kid.
Is that... an evolutionary stone that allows elves to undergo mega evolution?
After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Chen picked up the stone from between the two fruits.
The appearance looked the same as those evolution stones in previous lives, but Zhao Chen was not sure whether it was a marble or an evolution stone.
"This is a stone I picked up when I was catching small fist stones in a cave. I thought it was some rare prop, but when I got home and cleaned it, it turned out to be just a marble," the boss said with a smile.
"Can you sell me these marbles? I'll give them to my nephew to play with when I go home," Zhao Chen said.
"Okay, if you want it, take the fifty cents!" the boss said nonchalantly.
"Here you go." Zhao Chen was overjoyed, and then took out a five-cent coin from his pocket, which was the change given by others when he bought spicy strips.
Regardless of whether this is an evolution stone or a marble, he will get it first!
After buying what he wanted, Zhao Chen left the Elf Market with satisfaction.
After he left, all the bosses there received a text message.
[There is a mole, terminate the transaction!]
When they were about to run away, a siren sounded outside and it was already too late.
When Zhao Chen saw the news on the news the next day, he felt a little happy.
Fortunately, he left in time, otherwise he would have been caught and taken to the police station to be educated.
…
After buying the Soothing Bell, Zhao Chen used it as a wind chime and hung it by the window on top of Chou Chou Fish's fish tank.
A ray of breeze blew by, and the soothing bell made a tinkling sound.
Listening to the sweet and crisp ringtone, Chou Chou Fish felt that his mood had improved inexplicably.
It looked at the clear sky outside the window and thought about what had happened these days.
It met a man who really liked it, and also met a partner who didn't dislike its appearance.
They fight together, grow together, and no longer have to worry about others' disapproval. This kind of life... Ugly Fish feels complete.
It felt that it should do something more for Zhao Chen.
At this moment, the Chou Chou Fish felt a warm current welling up in his body for no reason. The emotions of excitement, happiness and wanting to repay the favor were intertwined together, and turned into a white beam hole from its mouth.
