“Finally… they’re here!”
Long Tao’s lips trembled.
He gazed at the two small Light Elves floating in front of him.
They drifted in the air like meticulously crafted dolls.
Their translucent butterfly wings refracted a rainbow halo under the sunlight, and their delicate faces were flushed red. They blinked their large eyes, curiously surveying their surroundings, looking utterly adorable!
“Hel…hello.”
Long Tao swallowed, painstakingly squeezing out a few syllables.
In his previous life, he had been stuck behind the battlefield, and fortunately, he had learned the Elven language out of boredom.
His pronunciation was slightly halting and unpolished, but he managed to convey his greeting successfully.
“Humans~ Yeah~”
“Did you invite us here~ Huh?”
One of the two small Light Elves tilted her head, asking in Elven, each speaking a line.
“Yes!”
It was Long Tao’s first time encountering intelligent beings of a higher civilization up close. His heart pounded, his face flushed with excitement, and he frantically pointed to the light twin flowers nearby, “I… I prepared a gift… for you.”
“Flowers?~ Yeah~”
“They smell so good, too~”
“Is it them? Huh?”
Upon hearing ‘gift,’ the small Light Elves’ butterfly wings blurred behind them as they held hands and flew towards the light twin flowers on the ground.
“Is…is it going to succeed?”
Long Tao nearly jumped up in excitement as he watched them approach the flowers.
He quickly opened their information interface.
The content appeared.
Long Tao’s mind instantly went blank, an indescribable excitement erupting like a volcano, his whole body trembling uncontrollably!
“Heaven helps me!”
“Hahaha!! I really am the protagonist!!!”
… …
“The Eternal Light Elves”
True Name: ????
Aptitude: Cosmic
Level: 40
Attribute: ???
Skills: ???
… …
Cosmic!
They were actually Cosmic-level!!!
Both of them!!
No words could describe Long Tao’s feelings at that moment.
Originally, he only wanted Mythical-level support Light Elves, to use their Photosynthesis skill to rapidly cultivate crops and achieve initial wealth accumulation.
Who would have thought his ancestral grave would smoke with good fortune, sending him a first-prize jackpot!
These were top-tier intelligent life forms!
Only second to Zenith!
And one more thing…
According to the advanced knowledge he had received.
Elemental Elves had no gender.
These Light Elves, as long as they were provided with enough light energy, could rapidly reproduce.
With money, he could buy light energy!
With Light Elves, he could cultivate plants and earn money!
Earn money and buy more light energy…
A continuous cycle!
He couldn’t even imagine it!
Who needed a racial base? He wasn't even acting human anymore!
Farmers and villagers?
He wouldn't even recruit a dog!
“Level 40…”
Long Tao clenched his fist fiercely, ambition spreading like a rapid virus!
Peak Fourth Tier!
The limit that the Trial Land could bear!
Even if they were both support types, let alone Blue Star Lords!
Even against powerful alien races!
They would have the power to protect themselves!
What’s more, unlike heroes.
Recruiting these Light Elves didn’t consume prestige points!
Level 40 heroes, in the early stages after descending, unless it was a Zenith or Cosmic territory trait…
Otherwise, they wouldn’t even bother to look at you.
Full of cost-effectiveness!!
Starting today!
Long Tao, he wouldn’t eat beef!
Thinking that the Light Elves hadn’t been successfully recruited yet, Long Tao quickly reined in his distracting thoughts and showed a bright, sunny smile.
“Do you… like them?”
Although he asked this.
Long Tao secretly thought to himself, the light twin flowers were already considered the most top-tier light-element plants.
Plus the inherent characteristics of the flower seeds, their attraction effect on Light Elves was particularly obvious, there was no reason for it to fail.
Seeing the little creatures flapping their transparent wings in front of him.
Long Tao’s lips unconsciously curved upwards.
The little Light Elves were so pure they were almost childish, practically the embodiment of innocence.
As long as he kept them for two days, he could easily make a grand promise.
If nothing unexpected happened…
“It doesn’t seem like we like it very much~ Huh!”
“The scent isn’t right~ Yeah.”
“It should be inside~ Huh?”
“Mm, yeah!”
The two small Light Elves spoke and responded to each other, sniffing with their tiny noses. After sensing that pure and flawless light energy, their large eyes curved into crescent moons.
“That’s it! Yeah!!”
“Go quickly, huh!”
“Mm, yeah~”
The small Light Elves happily flapped their butterfly wings, leaving long trails of light, and flew towards the east.
“Huh?”
Long Tao hadn’t reacted yet, stunned for a few seconds.
Seeing the gradually dissipating flight trails in mid-air, his heart instantly trembled, and he quickly chased after them, running and waving his hands, crying out, “Don’t go…”
“Little Light Elves, don’t go…”
“How can I live without you!!”
But how could Level 40 Light Elves be caught by a small fry like him, who was less than Level 10?
As the flight trails became impossible to track, Long Tao felt as if all his strength had been drained, and he slumped to the ground.
The intense pain from the hook couldn’t even snap him out of it.
Life’s greatest ups and downs, nothing more than this…
… …
“Phew…”
“Finally back.”
Lin Yi took off his helmet, a joyful smile on his lips.
It was already night.
Wang Fugui stood at the eastern gate of the territory, like a young wife, eagerly looking out.
Seeing the expeditionary force return, he quickly shouted, “Quick, quick, get moving! Lend a hand, carry these things into the warehouse.”
“Wait a moment.”
Lin Yi raised a hand to stop them, “We might be carrying diseases. If we rashly bring things into the territory, other slaves might get infected.”
“Diseases?”
Wang Fugui was a bit confused, but he couldn’t guess what his Lord had encountered on this expedition.
“Master is back, yeah!”
“Sick, sick, leave it to us, huh~”
Lin Yi was still pondering how to check if there were still diseases on him when he heard two clear, adorable doll-like voices.
He looked in the direction of the voices and was slightly stunned.
Two small creatures flapping their wings, dancing gracefully in mid-air.
In the night.
Even without the Blessing ability, he could clearly see their faintly glowing bodies.
“Light Elves?”
Lin Yi instantly thought of creatures from many movies and fairy tales.
What the hell was “Master”?
“We can also dispel diseases at home, yeah~”
One of the Light Elves put her small hand on her hip, pouting and looking indignantly at the other Light Elf, saying in human language, “So many people, dispelling them one by one, so tiring, yeah…”
“Oh, right, huh!” The other Light Elf scratched her head awkwardly, giggling foolishly.
While Lin Yi was still confused, Wang Fugui quickly stepped forward and explained, “It’s like this, my Lord…”
“This afternoon, these two little ones came to the territory and wouldn’t leave, and they even wandered into the Purification Pool.”
“They fly really fast, General Lu tried to catch them for a long time but couldn’t.”
“To prevent them from leaking secrets, I just… tricked…”
Wang Fugui shrank his neck, glanced at the confused small Light Elves in the air, and continued, “I just invited them to join our territory!”
“Is that so…” Lin Yi was a bit curious and opened their attribute panel.
Seeing the content.
The smile on his face grew even wider!
Good, good, good!
The little ones came at just the right time!
