After a long period of contact, judging from Jess's various behaviors...
She was certain that Jess's talent was among the best of all the children she had ever worked with.
It could even rank among the top few.
It's important to know that the more talented a child is, the higher the price they can fetch.
This is exactly what world governments want; they don't lack money, what they lack are talented children.
A child with exceptional talent can fetch a price equivalent to that of dozens of children with average talent.
The high returns made Carmelo take extra care of Jess.
They were almost always there to grant any request.
"Okay, Mom has remembered all your needs. Jess, you'll be looking after everyone while Mom is away."
"Don't run around, stay here and wait for Mommy to come back!"
Exhaling his last smoke ring, Carmelo stood up from his rocking chair.
"Don't worry, Mom, I will definitely take good care of everyone."
Jess patted his chest and assured Carmelo.
After giving a few more instructions, Carmelo left with his basket.

On the ship.
Renault stood at the bow of the ship with his hands behind his back, gazing ahead.
Roger, who was holding binoculars behind him, suddenly frowned.
"Young Master, Elbaf is just ahead, but I've spotted a merchant ship in the distance that's approaching Elbaf!"
Um? ?
Merchant ships?!
Renault frowned, as if he had suddenly thought of something.
Could it really be such a coincidence?!
He took the binoculars from Rogge and looked in the direction of the merchant ship.
The ship opposite them was just an ordinary merchant ship, with about seven or eight people on deck.
However, one couple in particular caught Renault's attention.
The man was dressed plainly and looked serious, while the woman was tall and had pink hair.
Renault's gaze instantly fixed on the woman, and a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.

004 Guide Lingling and build a bond! (Seeking flowers and ratings)
Of course, Renault had no interest in this woman.
Aside from being a bit tall, the woman had a very ordinary appearance and dressed very simply.
The reason Renault cared so much about her was because of her identity.
She bears a striking resemblance to Charlotte Linlin, and if nothing unexpected happens, this woman is Charlotte Linlin's mother!
Their appearance in Elbaf at this time is undoubtedly to abandon Charlotte Linlin.
It was such a coincidence; everything I wanted came true, and he intercepted me halfway through.
This is good, as it will save him a lot of time and allow him to establish a bond with Charlotte Linlin sooner.
In Renault's opinion, Lingling's parents were also two big idiots.
They abandoned Lingling simply because she had a large appetite and ate a lot.
If other forces or the navy knew about Lingling's talent, they'd probably break down her doorstep.
Especially the navy, they would love to have more of these promising talents.
With Lingling's talent, she's a shoo-in for becoming a naval admiral in the future, provided she receives a little training.
A naval admiral is a top-tier figure, both within the navy and across the entire ocean.
And as parents, they will surely enjoy wealth and luxury in the future.
However, they also considered one thing for Lingling: her appetite was too large, and even if she were thrown away elsewhere, no one would be able to afford to feed her.
So they deliberately came to Elbaf, the land of giants.
Given the size of the giant warriors, they naturally have large appetites. If Lingling were adopted by the giants, feeding her would be a very easy task.
"Rogge, don't land on the island yet, keep an eye on that merchant ship."
After recognizing the other party's identity, Renault decisively gave the order.
"Yes, young master!"
Although he didn't know Renault's intentions, Rogge never questioned Renault.
As he docked his ship on the shore of Elbaf, Rogge kept a close eye on the merchant ship that was slowly approaching from the opposite side.
Soon, the merchant ship docked.
Under her parents' various persuasive tactics, Lingling, having learned that there was plenty of food on the island, came ashore.
Taking advantage of this time, the couple returned to the merchant ship.
Five-year-old Lingling was still in a daze when she heard her parents say that there was plenty of food on the island and that she could eat as much as she wanted and would never go hungry again.
Lingling happily stayed, unaware that she had been abandoned by her parents. She even waved happily to them as they parted.
The merchant ship slowly sailed away, eventually disappearing completely from Lingling's sight.
Lingling looked around and then walked into the forest, beginning her search for the giant village her parents had mentioned.
Once she finds those villages, she will have plenty of food to eat.
Seeing Lingling walk into the forest alone, Renault's eyes lit up, and he waved his hand, saying:
"Rogge, go and watch over that little girl. Lure her to a secluded place with food, and don't let her discover the giants' village."
Lingling, who trusts her parents implicitly, is determined to find the village of the giants.
Therefore, now is not the best time for Renault to appear in front of her. Only when she can't find food and is in a state of hunger and despair can he become a ray of light in Lingling's heart.
"Understood, young master!"
Renault had already explained the two possible solutions to him on the way here.
Rogge took several guards who were more agile than the transfer group with him. While keeping an eye on Lingling, he used various desserts and delicacies to lure Lingling away from the giant village and towards the 3717 Uninhabited 29 area.
As Lingling walked through the forest searching for the giant village, she suddenly noticed several ripe fruits lying on the ground not far ahead of her, looking extremely tempting.
Lingling ran to the fruit and subconsciously swallowed.
After glancing around to make sure no one was there, he picked up the fruit and started eating.
"So sweet."
A happy smile appeared on Lingling's face. Her parents were right after all.
There's really good food here.
The fruit is already this sweet even before we've found the giant village. If we do find the giant village, who knows how many delicious fruits we'll find!
Lingling ate with great relish, filled with anticipation.
The fruit on the ground was visibly decreasing, and Lingling quickly ate it all.
“How sweet.”
Lingling, still wanting more, smacked her lips a few times.
"Um?!"
"What is this smell?!"
Just then, Lingling's nose twitched involuntarily.
fragrance!
It smells good!
Lingling smelled a fragrance she had never smelled before, a feeling she had never experienced before.
The fragrance flooded her body, triggering a chain reaction that made Lingling's face flush red, as if she were drunk.
Something within her was urging her to find the fragrant object and eat it.
"Lingling wants to eat."
Lingling twitched her cute little nose and followed the scent.
She quickly found the fragrant object.
Is this a cake?
Lingling's eyes lit up as she confirmed it again.
"Cake, it really is cake!"
Lingling was overjoyed when she recognized the item in front of her.
Previously, because she ate a lot, even the cheapest food was not enough for her parents to provide.
For her, cakes were already a luxury.
She had only heard about it from her parents' descriptions, but had never eaten it.
Now she was certain that her parents hadn't lied; the cake must have been delicious, and the aroma alone had given her a physical reaction.
Lingling, who couldn't wait any longer, saw that no one was around and happily began to enjoy her spoils.
Meanwhile, Roger, who was hiding in the shadows, saw Lingling eating heartily and became suspicious.
This little girl doesn't seem special at all; she completed the task easily with just a little food. It couldn't be simpler.
Although he had doubts, Roger dared not be careless.
He waved his hand, signaling the guards to clean up all traces of Lingling's path to prevent her from returning the way she came.
005 Luck strikes, rewards galore! (Seeking flowers and review votes!)
And so, guided by Roger, Lingling followed the route he designated every day.
Not only did they fail to find the giants' village, but they also found themselves getting further and further away.
Time passed day by day, and ten days quickly went by.
"it's time."
Renault left the ship and headed straight for the forest.
After ten days of planning, it's time to reap the rewards.
Deep in the forest.
Lingling, who hadn't eaten for several days, leaned against a big tree, her stomach growling with hunger, and she looked much thinner.
His eyes were filled with despair.
For the first few days, Lingling was very happy because she could eat all kinds of food every day, and there was food wherever she went.
Many of them were things she had never seen before.
But for the remaining days, she saw nothing.
The fruit and cake that appeared before were all gone.
