Elf, I am really a farmer

Chapter 555 Becoming a gym leader, mission accomplished

In the corridor outside the interview room, Li Lei and Wen Qi sat side by side on a bench, both of them with a trace of nervousness and uneasiness on their faces that was difficult to conceal.

Although they had heard some rumors beforehand and knew that they had a high chance of passing the interview,

But before the final result was officially announced, a hint of uneasiness hung over their hearts like a shadow.

Wen Qi closed his eyes slightly, seemingly resting, but in fact his heart was in turmoil.

Suddenly, a system prompt sounded in his mind that only he could hear:

"Congratulations to the host for completing the gym mission and receiving the following rewards: 5 points, an exclusive gym, intermediate super powers, and a gym-exclusive Pokémon group."

Wen Qi's body trembled slightly, and his tense facial muscles relaxed instantly. The corners of his mouth unconsciously lifted up, revealing a relieved smile. He secretly rejoiced in his heart:

"Finally it's done. Looks like the position of gym leader is firmly in my pocket."

Li Lei, who was standing by, keenly noticed Wen Qi's changes.

He turned his head and looked at Wen Qi in confusion, thinking to himself:

"He was as nervous as I was just now, how come he is so relaxed now? Did he get some inside information?"

Li Lei was full of curiosity and was about to ask when the door of the hall slowly opened and a voice came from inside:

"Please come in, the four of you."

Everyone knew that the moment that would decide their fate had finally arrived, so they stood up, straightened their clothes, and walked into the hall without hesitation.

The atmosphere in the hall was solemn and serious. Several judges sat behind a long table with serious expressions.

Mayor Li Zhijun cleared his throat first and said in a steady and powerful voice:

“First of all, I would like to commend the four of you for your performance in this interview.

Each of you has demonstrated unique charm and talent, and we are deeply impressed by your insights into Pokémon training and your planning and ideas for gym management. "

His eyes swept over the four contestants in turn, with a hint of admiration in them.

The president of the Cultivation Association nodded slightly and continued:

“Yes, your performance is indeed remarkable.

Unfortunately, we only have two gym leaders this time. This means that two players will have to face elimination.”

Having said this, he paused for a moment, looked at the four people in front of him, and continued,

"However, even if you are eliminated, it is not without gain. In order to encourage everyone, the alliance will provide two green-qualified three great families as rewards to the two eliminated players."

Gym Master Zhao Min looked at their reactions, nodded slightly, then stood up and announced loudly:

“After careful consideration and comprehensive evaluation, the two people who have obtained the qualifications of gym leaders this time are Li Lei and Wen Qi.

I hope that you can stick to your original intention in the future gym management, provide trainers with a high-quality training environment and professional guidance, and contribute your own strength to the development of Pokémon training. "

Upon hearing the news, the two unselected contestants showed complex expressions on their faces, showing both loss and a hint of expectation for the future.

One of the contestants sighed softly, with a hint of regret in his eyes, but still managed a smile and said:

"Although I failed to become a gym leader, it is still a good opportunity to get the three major families. I will continue to work hard to improve myself."

The other contestant nodded silently in agreement.

At this moment, Li Lei and Wen Qi's hearts were filled with joy and excitement.

Li Lei's eyes widened slightly, with excitement flashing in his eyes. His hands unconsciously clenched and trembled slightly.

He seemed to be trying to control his emotions. He turned to look at Wen Qi, a bright smile on his face, and said in a trembling voice:

"Wenqi, we succeeded!"

Wen Qi was also delighted. He smiled and responded:

"Yes, I have finally waited for this moment."

The two could no longer contain their joy. They took a step forward and bowed respectfully to the judges.

Li Lei bent his waist very low, almost parallel to the ground, and his voice was loud and full of gratitude:

“Thank you for the recognition from all the judges. We will definitely not let you down!”

Wen Qi also said:

"We will work hard to make the gym a cradle for trainers' growth."

Although the other two contestants felt a little disappointed, they walked up generously and congratulated Li Lei and Wen Qi.

One contestant stretched out his hand, shook hands with Li Lei and Wen Qi one by one, and said sincerely:

"Congratulations, you deserve it. I will follow your example and keep working hard."

Another player also said:

"I hope I'll have the opportunity to visit your gym to exchange and learn in the future."

Although the atmosphere in the hall at this moment was a bit complicated, it was more of an expectation and longing for the future.

Whether it was Li Lei and Wen Qi who were successfully elected as gym leaders, or the two contestants who unfortunately lost, at this moment, they opened a new chapter in their Pokémon journey.

At this time, the other two contestants turned around slowly and quietly left the hall with a bit of loneliness and relief.

Soon, Wen Qi, Li Lei and five serious-looking judges were the only ones left in the spacious hall.

Gym Master Zhao Min leaned forward slightly, his eyes swept over the two of them, and then he slowly spoke in a steady and low voice:

"Do you have any ideas about the location of your gym?"

When Wen Qi heard this, his heart moved and he hurriedly took a step forward, his posture upright, his eyes full of expectation and determination.

He raised his head slightly, looked directly into Zhao Min's eyes, and said politely and respectfully:

"Master Zhao, I have an idea, but I don't know if it's feasible.

I hope to build my gym next to my farm.

It is close to Chunhua Forest. As you know, with the future development of the city, that area urgently needs a gym to guard it.

This will not only ensure the safety of the surrounding areas, but also provide trainers with more opportunities to interact with wild Pokémon."

When Mayor Li Zhijun heard Wen Qi's request, he couldn't help but frowned slightly, with a look of worry on his face.

He shook his head slightly and advised with a concerned tone:

"Wenqi, you have to think carefully. Are you sure you want to choose that place?

Although from the long-term perspective of urban development, that location does have strategic significance, it is adjacent to Chunhua Forest and is extremely dangerous.

Once a gym is built, it is very likely to be frequently attacked by wild Pokémon.

If you are unlucky enough to encounter an emergency such as a forest riot, your gym will become the first target.

This is really too risky, I suggest you go somewhere else."

Wen Qi bowed slightly, with a humble smile on his face, but his eyes remained firm. He explained calmly:

“Thank you for the mayor’s kindness. In fact, I have already thought deeply about this issue.

You don't need to worry too much, because I have always maintained a good relationship with the elves in Chunhua Forest.

Whether it is the old overlord of the forest, Venusaur, or the newly rising king-level Scyther leader, they all have a close personal relationship with me.

With this relationship as a guarantee, I believe there shouldn't be any major problems in the next decade or so.

Moreover, this period of time is also a great opportunity for me to grow. I will continue to work hard to improve my abilities so that I can cope with various situations that may arise.”

When Wen Qi spoke, his eyes were bright and confident, his body swayed slightly, and his hands swayed unconsciously to enhance the persuasiveness of his words.

When everyone heard his words, they were stunned at first, then they exchanged glances with each other, and saw a hint of surprise and recognition in each other's eyes.

Gym Master Zhao Min nodded slightly, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes:

"Wenqi, it is truly commendable that you have this consideration and preparation.

Since you have made up your mind and have a plan for dealing with the possible risks, it is not convenient for us to stop you. "

Several other judges also nodded in agreement. Investigation team leader Jiang Tiansheng crossed his arms and nodded slightly:

"Wenqi, I hope you can do as you said and properly handle the relationship between the gym and the forest elves to ensure the safety and stability of the gym."

Wen Qi was overjoyed, bowed deeply to everyone again, and said gratefully:

“Thank you for your understanding and support. I will do my best to live up to your expectations.”
