Chapter 170: Chapter 84 Information about the Forest Elf

"That’s settled then, we’ll get in touch privately after the meeting."

Bai Yi happily swayed her avatar’s branches and leaves, striking a deal with Landon I, whose expression remained stern in his indistinguishable voice.

Although he appeared quite old-fashioned, he was unexpectedly easy to talk to.

After her arrival, Landon was the only one who wasn’t surprised by her Tree-man body. Instead, after confirming that it was being controlled by someone, he earnestly inquired about Bai Yi’s various sensations as a Tree-man.

It seemed he treated her as a member of the Magic Side Tree-man race.

But Bai Yi knew that this Tree-man was just a biological version she concocted herself, barely involving any magic aside from some superpowers.

After casually dealing with the matter, Bai Yi shifted Landon’s attention to other topics, particularly focusing on a few Hero Units from the Magic Side in her territory.

Upon learning that Bai Yi had a Rune Blacksmith, Landon, whose face seemed expressionless, finally showed a gleam of interest, hurriedly asking Bai Yi a heap of questions about Rune Studies.

However, Bai Yi knew little about it, and the outcome led to an agreement to exchange knowledge with the Hero Units under Bai Yi’s command later.

This discussion helped them bond, and other trades naturally followed.

As a Lord traversing the magical path, there weren’t many things he needed aside from some basic resources. Bai Yi had never seen him initiate other trades, and this made Landon quite mysterious in the eyes of other Lords.

Only the Crystal Rice and the Magic Power Crystals formed by You caught Landon’s attention in Bai Yi’s territory.

Both were highly concentrated forms of Magic Power Crystals, but the latter had bigger and more concentrated crystals, capable of being customized in different sizes and concentrations of magic power.

Moreover, if the Crystal Rice isn’t processed, it could directly be used as seeds, and Bai Yi wasn’t so generous to trade away her best crops.

Therefore, what Bai Yi brought out for trade were the latter.

As for the bargaining process, Bai Yi, of course, chose to seize the business opportunity.

Under Shang Ji’s eloquence, Bai Yi successfully used a crystal containing about one unit of Crystal Rice’s magic power as the trading unit, and obtained several basic magic books from Landon in exchange for 10,000 Magic Power Crystals.

Furthermore, meeting Bai Yi’s demand, they also completed a significant trade of magic creatures, exchanging 8000 crystals for Landon’s promise to capture 50 different types of magic creatures for Bai Yi.

Both Bai Yi and Landon were very satisfied with the trade, considering themselves fortunate.

Seizing this opportunity, Bai Yi, citing "I heard about a creature," inquired about the origins of elves.

After all, ever since Bai Yi was promoted to a Forest Elf through her Transcendent profession, her body had been continuously evolving towards that of an elf. Aside from significant changes on the day of promotion, Bai Yi had consistently observed changes in her body up to today.

These included but were not limited to the increasingly rich green hue at her hair tips, her eye color transforming entirely from light blue to indigo, and her ears increasingly resembling those of an elf.

However, these changes also brought benefits like improved hearing, allowing her to hear previously inaudible sounds, and increased bodily flexibility.

Discovering that she was indeed transforming into a legendary elf, Bai Yi’s interest in elves grew, and meeting Landon, who might have some knowledge, naturally sparked her curiosity.

Initially, Bai Yi was just trying her luck and gathering information about elves, but she didn’t expect to actually learn about a species called Forest Elves.

"...Apart from Earth Elves, there are Forest Elves that dwell within rainforests. Compared to our familiar elves, they resemble the legendary fairies.

Their population is all female, with cute petite individuals who rely on Elf Trees transformed from Forest Elves for reproduction. Some powerful individuals even grow wings, resembling those of dragonflies, moths, or butterflies.

They are rare magic creatures, even their juvenile forms are equivalent to 3rd-tier lives, and upon reaching adulthood, they can ascend to 5th-tier, mastering plenty of Nature Series magic..."

Bai Yi diligently recorded this information, continuously asking questions, her heart filled with admiration for Forest Elves and concerns for her own future.

According to Landon’s introduction, Forest Elves were only creatures smaller than the Erosion Worms under her command, though they possessed strong combat capabilities and high growth potential.

But the cost is becoming tiny, which she wanted to avoid!

However, Bai Yi also knew that the transformation through her Transcendent profession wouldn’t completely turn her into a true Forest Elf; in fact, her body’s changes were extremely slow, feeling like it would stabilize completely in a few days.

Yet, she couldn’t help but feel a bit worried.

Meanwhile, Landon, discovering Fan Mao’s keen interest in such Forest Elves, had already decided to try to lure a few during his next venture into the dungeon world as gifts for the trade.

There was no helping it; Fan Mao’s high-concentration Magic Power Crystals were just too enticing.

These crystals were necessary for research, crafting of magic items, and even for summoning soldiers and building constructions in his territory.

Also, having inspected a few samples given by Fan Mao earlier, even the lowest-grade Magic Power Crystals were equivalent to top-grade ones from the dungeon world.

Using them to summon soldiers would definitely bring additional attribute enhancements!

Even he would have to pay a significant price to acquire more, making this trade exceedingly advantageous!

Landon wondered how Fan Mao managed it...

Could it be his plants?

Landon noticed earlier that the Tree-man controlled by Fan Mao could gather a high concentration of magic power around itself!

He wondered how Fan Mao achieved this, or perhaps his Lord Talent was to cultivate various special plants?

Heh, in that case, the plant-loving Forest Elves would indeed be a suitable gift, likely to also interest these Forest Elves who adore someone passionate about plants.

If this can stabilize and flourish our friendship and secure a steady supply of Magic Power Crystals for me in the future, it would indeed be worth it!

Although the reasoning is a bit faulty, he didn’t know that Bai Yi was indeed looking to ask Landon I for a favor at this moment.

But just as she was about to make her inquiry, a sudden noise at the entrance caught her attention. Looking in the direction from which she came, she saw another Lord arriving.

This Lord was dressed in a vintage long coat, trailing a woman dressed in white behind him, who possessed an ethereal quality as if she was not of this world. From the panel, both individuals appeared to be of the third order, but their aura had already reached the fourth order.

It seemed as if he turned his gaze towards the Corpse King and Landon I, pondering for a moment, recognizing them; however, when his eyes shifted to her, he first showed surprise followed swiftly by a change in expression, with a gleam flashing in his eyes.

It was like those star-struck classmates of hers back in school when they saw posters of celebrities, their eyes full of fervor...

Moreover, what Bai Yi didn’t expect was that through the panel, she shockingly discovered that this newly arrived Lord was also one of her Admirers!

And it was only after seeing her, or rather, after seeing the Tree-man she controlled, that he truly transitioned into an Admirer, which she was absolutely certain of.

Although this level of Admirer was practically the same as those who merely sang praises in the panel’s judgment, this felt distinctly different to Bai Yi.

Having reached the fifth order in Combat Power, causing her panel attributes to explode and gaining more perceptive abilities, she could crudely detect the slight power that such admiration brought.

Thus, this high-quality Admirer, who just transitioned, was as apparent to her as a spotlight suddenly shining in front of her in darkness.

Bai Yi: ?

"Eh, why is he also my Admirer? Who exactly is he?"

Anyone who could come here was surely certified by Iron Blood as a powerful Lord, having at least fourth-order methods. Even those who became third-order Lords amid the recent chaos were not qualified to be here.

Which means, this Lord must be within the top five of the strong Lords indeed. How could such a person admire, or even worship her?

No, isn’t this our first meeting?

And she hasn’t even shown her real form yet, only a Tree-man!

Why does this level of worship seem almost on par with that of her Pope!

It can’t be that his XP is for Tree-man, right?!

Thinking of the followers she got in Eternal Life City due to her appearance, Bai Yi couldn’t help but speculate this possibility.

But it must be said, now Bai Yi also found herself interested in this esteemed Lord.

The Lord, seemingly realizing his own lapse, quickly cleared his throat, introducing himself:

"Hello everyone, I’m Jun Lin, sorry for arriving late due to some matters."

With that said, Jun Lin waved his hand and, together with the person behind him, gently flew through the air towards the chair next to Bai Yi, unabashedly showing off his specialty as everyone watched.

After hearing his introduction, immediately, Bai Yi recalled the interactions she had with Jun Lin before; many things fell into place, but new puzzles emerged.

He knows me? So that’s why he seemed especially warm towards me initially.

But it seemed like he took a while to recognize me and only became a true Admirer later; it didn’t feel like an act.

And where did he come to know me from?

Bai Yi was certain; he never figured in her memories!

As he took his seat, Iron Blood, who was leading, nodded, standing up:

"Now that the ranks have named, and the Lords with at least fourth-order strength have assembled, as for the others still hiding, we will not wait any longer..."

Iron Blood hadn’t finished speaking when an Iron Blood guide came in at the entrance, whispered a few words to him, and then quickly left upon receiving an order.

"Ha ha, sorry, it looks like another friend will join us."

Iron Blood smiled enigmatically, and soon, the guide returned, and this time, bringing with him another Lord that even Bai Yi felt both familiar and unfamiliar with.

Enveloped in a layer of black ’tight suit’, he looked like a character from Marvel’s Venom, but his aura undoubtedly reached fourth-order combat strength.

Bai Yi could recognize him – that was none other than the Biological Armor she had sent out as a reward in the dungeon!

Upon entering, even the Biological Armor and Bionic Golden Core on him began to spontaneously connect to the Insect Network due to their proximity to the Queen of the Insect Swarm.

But even before Bai Yi had the chance to check the shared information, this Lord announced a name that made Bai Yi’s physical body sit up straight.

"Hello, I’m Anonymous, and I believe in White Poplar City, this name should not be mistaken."

"Ah, so it’s you!"

Bai Yi looked around in astonishment; though she also let out a similar exclamation in her heart, could someone actually be voicing it out for her?

And that person who exclaimed, was none other than Jun Lin?
