There was a sea of ​​people outside the Elf Center in Changqing City. Joey and Miss Junsha were busy investigating, completely ignoring the reporters interviewing one after another.Craftsmen and monsters moved in wood and cement to rush to repair the huge damage on the roof. Several cranes were also used to move the huge robot that fell aside and collapsed half of the entire wall.In short, the scene is completely like a disaster movie shooting scene.

On the edge of the crowd, Ikki glanced at Riolu stiffly and trembled unconsciously.Yuuto, on the other hand, was clinging to Riolu with excitement on his face.As the only person who had a connection, the blame fell on him naturally, but the problem was that it was really not his fault!

————————Time goes back to two hours ago————————

"Meow! That's it, meow! You two must do it well, meow!"

Miaomiao put down the telescope in his hand and showed a rare serious expression.After all, if this mission failed, they would really have no choice but to drink from the northwest wind. All the budget was invested in this mission, although there was not much left.

On the other side, Kojiro was squatting on the ground, drawing aimlessly with the wooden stick in his hand. After hearing Miaomiao's words, he stood up and said worriedly: "Although I know the seriousness of the problem, is this method really feasible? ?Why do I feel..."

Before he could finish speaking, Musashi slapped him to the ground.

"I asked you, why are you so useless! This time it's not a question of whether it will work or not! It's a question of success!"

A blazing fire special effect appeared behind Musashi, with an expression that looked like he was about to eat Kojiro.

"Okay! You two stop playing tricks, meow! Get ready for action, meow!"

————————————————————————

Ikki got up from the bed, stretched, and looked at Riolu who was still lying on the bed. He wanted to wake him up too, but seeing as it was still early, let him have a good rest. Let's buy some things for the road first.

Ikki quietly picked up his backpack and opened the door carefully. Feeling that something was not appropriate, he took out the notebook he carried with him and left a note on the table before leaving with peace of mind.

"Speaking of which, what should I buy? Although I am here to buy things, I really have no experience of going to such a far place to buy things by myself... Should I call Riolu? No, no, I have already suffered from him I have taken a lot of care of him. You can’t trouble him with such small things. You must do it independently. Just treat it as shopping..."

Unknowingly, Ikki had already reached the city center. Although it was the city center, there were still not many people. Maybe it was because it was just after noon. The store did not advertise loudly, and all the items sold were displayed to the customers. , just ask for the price if you want anything.

Yihui came to a small shop. The big word "shop" on the signboard was very conspicuous. The inside was only about [-] square meters. There was an old man sitting in front of the counter. He was bored and using the phone in his hand. Magazines pass the time, but at first glance, he may look much younger.

Ikki raised his legs and walked in. When the old man saw a guest coming, he didn't stand up. He raised his head and glanced at him. Seeing that the guest was a child, he smiled slightly and said, "Are you a trainer?"

Ikki was slightly startled and nodded.

His guess was correct. The old man put down the magazine in his hand and lay on the counter.

"I don't have anything good here. You can see for yourself what you want. I won't introduce anything. If you don't understand something, you can ask me. I am too bored as an old man. I want to find someone to talk to."

"Boring? Why are you bored? There should be a lot of customers, right?" Ikki was a little puzzled. Even when there are few people, it's impossible for all the customers to disappear. There will always be one or two who come to the store, right?

The old man shook his head: "Other stores may be like this, but two customers in my store a week are enough, not to mention the possibility of leaving without buying anything, so I am a very lonely old man! "

Ikki didn't know why, but he always felt weird in his heart, and there was always an inexplicable feeling, but he only regarded it as his own problem and didn't pay too much attention to it, and immediately went to pick something on the shelf.

Although this small shop is not big, it has a complete range of things for humans, elves, food, and daily necessities. There are even some recovery medicines and some things that Ikki has never seen before. Little things that passed.I really don’t know how the store manager brought in all these things.Not to mention the wide variety, the price is also cheap, even lower than the market price. How can such a store lack customers?Is it just because there is no good store name?It's certainly not that simple.

After spending some time shopping for some daily necessities, Ikki panted with a shopping bag full of things and came to the counter to check out.I originally thought that the store manager would be happy because he bought a lot of expensive goods, but who knows, he just sat there, looked at the big bag in Ikki's hand, and immediately quoted the price.Only an experienced businessman can calculate the price so skillfully. It seems that it is absolutely impossible for this old man to have as few customers as he said.

He took out the wallet Yukino had prepared for him and was about to pay when Ikki was struck by the light reflected from something on the counter behind the old man. He took a closer look and saw that they were several very ordinary glass bottles. Containing some colorful liquids with no price or name.

"Boss, what is that?"

Ikki pointed to the glass bottles.The old man turned around slowly, and when he saw what he was pointing to clearly, a rare glimmer of light flashed through his somewhat absent-minded eyes, but it was fleeting.

"Let's do this! I'll give you a gift as a thank you, but don't refuse it!"

He supported the counter, struggled to lift himself up with both hands, and took down the entire shelf containing glass bottles.

"How is this possible! I will not accept other people's things for no reason. Please don't embarrass me."

The old man stopped what he was doing, because even if he wanted to give it to him, he would definitely not accept it.

He glanced at Ikki and said calmly: "I researched these things myself and are not valuable, so I want to give them to you as gifts. It is rare for a customer to come to our store, so please accept them! But Don't worry, this is just an enhanced version of some existing medicines. It will have no side effects. I can guarantee this. However, the effect has not been tested, so if you use it, be sure to tell me its effect. Okay, this old man like me can’t test it alone!”

The old man lifted the blanket that had been resting on his legs, revealing two legs that reflected the sheen of plastic.It was a pair of prosthetic legs, rigidly fixed on the chair.

"Oh!...I'm sorry..."

Ikki quickly apologized to him.No wonder he struggled so hard to pick up things just now. It turned out to be because he had difficulty moving.

"It's okay, kids, don't worry, please accept it. Although I can't give you all, you will definitely use this."

He took out a bottle of green liquid from among the many glass bottles, turned the tightly corked rubber stopper, and quickly poured all the liquid into a small spray bottle and handed it to Ikki.

"This is an enhanced version of insect repellent spray. Using this, you can avoid encountering dangerous elves to a great extent and protect you."

Ikki took the watering can, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it. The light passed through the green liquid and refracted a different light path. After hearing what he said, he pressed it doubtfully.

The fine water mist sprayed floated in the air, releasing a faint fragrance, which even made Ikki doubt whether what the old man said was true, but after all, he had good intentions and gave him such a thing. He also suppressed the doubts in his stomach again.

"I said this is an enhanced version, so don't use it casually, otherwise I will have a headache. I am still counting on your report! The one you just used will take effect for at least three to 10 minutes, so be sure to Be cautious." The old man ordered.

After paying the money, Ikki ran straight to the Elf Center carrying a large bag of things, the enhanced insect repellent spray he had just received, and the old man's contact information.
