Chapter 130 Determining Relationships
"I didn't expect there to be a restaurant here."

Kurosawa looked surprised.

"Been here before?"

"My junior high school is opposite."

Even so, he couldn't name the alley.

Haitang No. [-] Middle School is nearby. When he was in school, he would occasionally sneak into the surrounding alleys.

The alley is about 300 meters long, opposite the station, and [-] meters west of the station is Haitang No. [-] Middle School.

Walking along the winding alleyway, there are messy food stalls, tile-roofed houses with wooden tables and plastic stools occupying the alleyway.

Vendors selling finger cakes, octopus balls, skewers, and sugar water live here.

Going further inside, there are some various small shops.

Those selling snacks, stationery and comics, and electronic game halls.

Many junior high school students run into the alley after school, even though it is lunch time, there are still a group of students in school uniforms gathered in front of the arcade outside the video game hall, very popular.

The private restaurant is located at the fork of the alley video game hall, hidden in a piece of low-rise residential buildings with no characteristics.

"Oh, what a coincidence, did you come here to play games when you were in school?"

A faint smile appeared on Gong Lihua's face.

"I came with my classmates, so I just took a look at that time."

Walk into a private house with a small courtyard.

There are two tables in the yard and one in the house.

The owner of this private kitchen is a 40-year-old aunt. There is no store sign, no waiter, and not even a menu.

Reservations are required for meals, usually five days or one week in advance.

At its peak, it can be extended to half a month.

However, Kurosawa guessed that most of Gong Lihua's visits did not require an appointment.

The two sat down at the table in the house.

The food came out soon, and we chatted while eating.

Gong Lihua was quite curious about how he met Gao Yi, but she was in a meeting yesterday and it was inconvenient to leave for a long time, so she had a brief chat with Kurosawa, and hung up the phone after confirming that he was safe.

Kurosawa briefly talked about the situation he encountered in the ruins of the underground palace.

Gong Lihua couldn't help but sweat for him.

Although I was very amazed at the rapid improvement of Kurosawa's strength, I still reminded him.

"It's remarkable, but those two mid-level transitional elves may be slightly weaker than elves of the same level."

"The next time you encounter an enemy at the transition stage, be more careful."

"The actual combat power of elves at different transition stages varies greatly. The weak ones may not be as good as some leaf-full intermediate elves, and the strong ones may be close to the advanced stage combat power."

Kurosawa nodded.

Gao Yi concealed his name and hid in the outpost town of Wugu Desert. In order not to reveal his identity, the elf training in daily life must not be carried out with great fanfare.

And if the elves are not fully trained for a long time, their strength will decline to a certain extent, which is inevitable.

But Gao Yi is also stronger than ordinary elves, and that is his blood energy, which can bless and enhance the state of him and elves.

Therefore, looking at the two aspects together, Gao Yi may have a certain amount of water, but the amount of water injection is open to question, depending on which part is heavier.

Gong Lihua was not at the scene, and the reason why he said this was because he was worried that Kurosawa's strength would increase too quickly.

Not every time I can be as lucky as this time, when I am facing a critical moment of life, I happen to enter the ruins of the underground palace to improve my strength.

Gong Lihua obviously worried too much.

Kurosawa finished his exercise practice every night, and before falling asleep in bed, he would briefly summarize the day's training and combat experience gains.

After he finished his training in the underground palace, it didn't take much effort to defeat Gao Yi, but he would never forget that in the first battle, there was a gap in strength between the two sides.

And the sense of oppression that his entangled blood energy gave him.

It was precisely the contrast between the two battles that reminded him of the importance of training and cultivation.

He does have a lot of cards to play.

Phaseless, Thunder Gun, Profound Truth, Zeus.

Things like Profound Truth and Zeus can even make him explode beyond his normal level.

But usually when he evaluates the strength gap between himself and others, he always compares it with normal strength.

If the basic strength is not well developed, the extent to which special moves can be improved is also limited.

The dishes made by this private kitchen are not big dishes, but the taste is very good.

While eating, I forgot to speak.

The two have a lot of food.

In other words, the food intake of normal elf masters is generally larger than that of ordinary people.

The elf master with a small appetite is either creating a strange character, or has a special physique.

The recovery and exercise of spiritual energy of an elf master consumes a lot of energy, and a stronger physical fitness also consumes more energy.

Hungry quickly and eat a lot, this is the norm.

Even if you usually take supplements, you still need to eat enough for three basic meals a day.

After dinner.

Gong Lihua took out a bracelet from nowhere and handed it to Kurosawa.

"Minister, this is?"

"A storage bracelet, for you."

"Why did you send me this all of a sudden?"

Kurosawa subconsciously took the bracelet.

"When I called you last time, didn't I say that the space of the bracelet is too small, and I will give you a bigger one, which is more convenient for storing things."

Hearing what she said, Kurosawa remembered.

It seems that there is indeed such a thing.

But he just mentioned it casually, and he didn't take it to heart.

He said at the time that the storage bracelet has a small space, and it cannot hold too much water if other things are installed.

Drinking enough is far from enough to take a bath, resulting in a wet and sticky body.

What he expressed was more of a complaint about the excessively hot weather in the Ugu Desert.

"Suddenly send me such an expensive gift."

Kurosawa's face was a little tangled.

It would be a lie to say that it is not necessary.

The one he wore on his hand, not to mention the relatively small space.

Strictly speaking, it does not belong to him yet. He only has the right to use it, not the ownership.

The storage bracelet issued by signing a contract for promotion to the professional level belongs to the property of the alliance.

If you want to buy a personal storage bracelet, the cost is not affordable for most newly promoted professional levels.

And according to Minister Gong, this bracelet has a larger space than the one he is wearing now, so the value is even higher.

"You're welcome, just treat it as a gift from me, the master, to my apprentice."

Kurosawa was stunned for a moment, then slightly widened his eyes.

He and Gong Lihua looked at each other in blank dismay.

"What's the matter, don't you want to?"

"No no."

Kurosawa breathed a sigh of relief.

"It just felt a little too sudden, Minister."

Moreover, in his impression, it should be more formal to confirm the master-student relationship.

Serve tea and pour water, and meet the elders of Shimen.

"Suddenly? I thought you had already regarded me as a teacher."

Miyako blinked her eyes.

"."

Kurosawa pursed his lips, with a look of embarrassment on his face.

The relationship between the two had always been vague, so he certainly had some ideas in his mind.

Although as the minister of the local union, it is normal to bring in some newcomers.

But give frequent pointers and teach your own exercise methods.

Coupled with the recent concern, it is obviously beyond the scope of normal support.

Now that the master-student relationship has been confirmed, it seems that the difference is only one sentence, but the meaning is different.

At least he will feel more at ease when he accepts guidance now.

"I have thought about it. It's just that you haven't said it, minister, and I don't have the nerve to mention it."

"Sorry, I forgot."

Gong Lihua took a sip of tea.

"Minister, are there any elders in our division?"

Kurosawa asked curiously.

After the master-student relationship was established, the relationship between the two quietly became more mellow.

He has been curious about Gong Lihua's identity since the first meeting.

However, for an elf teacher of Gong Lihua's level, there is very little public information on the Internet, and there is not even an age.

Judging from his usual contact, Minister Gong's age is obviously not very old.

A master elf master with such outstanding talent came to a remote town like Haitang City to be the head of the alliance branch.

Really rare.

For example, Haitang's previous minister was an old man, and it is said that the same is true when he took office.

The masters who come to a small place like Haitang are basically those whose strength has begun to decline and are ready to retire in leisure.

Masters who are on the rise will choose big cities, even if they may not be able to compete for ministerial positions there.

"Teacher? You think too much about my identity as a teacher. Let's say there are a few elders, but they rarely meet each other."

"During the summer break, I'll take you back to have a look."

"Okay, Mr. Minister."

Kurosawa is still not quite used to the change of identity, so he can't change his words for a while.

"If you're not used to shouting like that, you can call me Sister Gong or Sister Hua."

"Ah."

Kurosawa wears the storage bracelet presented by Hao Gonglihua.

The bracelet that Gong Lihua gave was light blue. He flipped his wrist a few times and found it very beautiful.

The spar in the middle of the bracelet was not engraved with spiritual symbols, and Kurosawa successfully engraved his breath on it.

Take a peek inside.

This is?

Originally, I wanted to simply sense the specific capacity of the space.

But I didn't expect that there were some objects piled inside.

He drives the psychic to take one out.

A dark blue diamond-shaped stone soon appeared in the palm of his hand.

There is also a faint electrical energy scattered on the surface of the stone.

"Old sister Hua, what is this?"

"Let me see, it might be a gift from the manufacturer." Gong Lihua took the ore and said solemnly.

Kurosawa stared at her silently and blinked.

You don't look stupid, do you?

The manufacturer of the storage bracelet is not for charity, and will give away magical resources for free, and it just so happens.

It just so happened that he could use it directly.

"Just kidding, it's also a small gift for you."

"For some time to come, you can stay in Haitang and train with peace of mind, there is no need to run outside."

"If you run out, you can ask me for it again."

"With my current salary in the alliance, it is not a problem to afford a share of your cultivation resources."

Gong Lihua took a sip of tea and didn't seem to care.

Kurosawa raised an eyebrow.

If the Haihuaguo General Alliance is compared to a company, each branch minister of the alliance is equivalent to a shareholder.

The production of the subspace in the area under her/their jurisdiction will be distributed to the individual ministers according to a certain proportion. In addition, there may be some alliance subsidies and wages, and other income.

On the whole, the more prosperous the city, the more the Union Minister's income.

It sounds like the ministers should be well-off, but they also need more resources, so it is not uncommon to make ends meet.

Can a backcountry like Haitang afford Gong Lihua's daily practice?

And do a job and support two people.

Isn't he a softie?
"Thank you, Sister Hua, I think I earned it myself, so I can use it with more peace of mind."

Kurosawa shook his head.

It is absolutely impossible for him to ask Minister Gong for training resources.

As for the magical resources in the storage bracelet, he accepted it for the time being.

The main reason is to know that Minister Gong's character will definitely not be taken back, and it is really unnecessary to give way in the restaurant.

"Don't worry about these little things, as long as you can improve your strength."

Seeing the determination on Kurosawa's face, Gong Lihua didn't persuade him any more.

"By the way, Azer, when you plan to contract a new elf, tell me. I checked your situation and found that it meets the talent reward standard of the alliance. I can apply for a three-star elf cub for you. "

Kurosawa nodded.

This can have.

Of course, he readily accepts the alliance's wool.

"Fine, but I may need to think again."

Generally speaking, after one elf is contracted, a new elf will not be contracted immediately.

And resources are limited.

His current contract speed is really not slow.

After all, his time as an elf master was short, and there was still a long period of invalid time.

Others' elf masters have contracted four or five elves, and even more cases, which have been accumulated over many years.

His situation is also different from ordinary people.

Because the foundation of the elves cultivated by the nutritional value is more solid and stronger than the elves of the same class, it will inevitably bring a heavier burden to the psionic energy.

He didn't want to be like some elf masters who found it inappropriate after contracting elves, so they abandoned the elves.

So he is destined to take the elite route.

From now on, every elf must be carefully selected.

"Then think about it slowly, don't rush. You can apply to the alliance at any time, and this benefit will not expire."

Suddenly, Kurosawa thought of something and took out a flash card from his pocket.

Summoned Sister Shiling.

It was the first time that Mumu saw Gong Lihua.

It just came out of the flash card, felt the faint terrifying aura emanating from her, and carefully huddled behind Kurosawa.

Every elf in Kurosawa basically had this reaction when they first met Minister Gong.

Mumu Shiling is now 1.1 meters high, and the ancient textures all over her body are hidden in the gaps of the transition.

"Sister Hua, have you ever seen this kind of elf?"

Heise pulled the reluctant Mumu out from behind.

Gong Lihua stared at her sister.

Then he dispatched his psychic energy to perceive it carefully.

After a long time, I shook my head.

"I haven't seen this kind of elf either. It should be, as you said, a unique elf species in that period of ancient civilization."

"In fact, the Alliance also has many precedents of digging out elf eggs to hatch in the ruins."

"Many researchers in the early days believed that these elves of ancient civilizations could survive for so long, so they should be very powerful."

"However, it may be due to the different times. When these elves hatched, not only the contract is extremely difficult, but also the compatibility with modern elf masters is not ideal."

"The strength of the elves of ancient civilizations is very slow to improve. Most of them stay in the elementary and middle stages. Few break through to advanced, super, and the rewards do not match."

"In our current elf contract system, the elves of ancient civilizations are very limited in their combat power."

"It was also impossible to breed and breed, and slowly the alliance gave up this research direction."

Kurosawa listened.

Something doesn't feel right.

It is true that the contract is difficult, but he doesn't seem to have encountered the situation that Minister Gong mentioned later.

Sister Shi Ling's strength has improved quite smoothly, and she has not shown any difference from Little Shining and Nightmare in this respect.

In terms of strength, even though he hadn't experienced many battles with Mumu, he could tell that its combat performance was absolutely top-notch among its peers.

He didn't think Minister Gong was deceiving himself.

So you are a special case?
