Elf, I am really a farmer

Just then, a voice suddenly came from the system.

The system has issued a task requiring the conquest of three people, and rewards will be distributed in stages based on the loyalty of the three people.

Wen Qi felt very surprised about this. He didn't expect that recruiting a few subordinates could trigger the mission.

But it is always good to have rewards. Although he does not know what the system's rewards are, Wen Qi will not try to please these three people just to get rewards and use a lot of good things to increase their loyalty.

After all, these three people are his prisoners and also his enemies. If Wen Qi treats them too well, he would feel a little bit inferior.

Wen Qi will only give them more benefits unless they really change and are truly loyal to him.

Now, just observe.

After the system issued the task, Wen Qi could clearly see the loyalty of the three people.

Wen Qi originally thought that the one with the lowest loyalty should be Zhang Long, who had the strongest strength.

After all, Zhang Long is a gym trainer with three Pokémon, and he is also one of the most powerful figures in the underground black market. He should be living a comfortable life.

Being suddenly conquered would definitely make one feel the most unconvinced.

However, after checking the loyalty displayed by the system, Wen Qi discovered that Zhang Long's loyalty was actually the highest, reaching 60 points, which was considered passing.

After all, it is very good to have such loyalty right after being conquered.

Among the other two, Li Hu's loyalty is 50 points, which is not up to standard but acceptable.

But Sun Zheng, who seemed the most honest, surprised Wen Qi a little, as his loyalty was only 30 points.

Before, Wen Qi thought that Sun Zheng looked like an honest man and his strength was not very strong. He thought that even if his loyalty was not the highest, it should not be the lowest, so he was very surprised.

However, Wen Qi understood after a little thought that Sun Zheng’s loyalty was not high, probably because of Hu Di.

Sun Zheng might be thinking that he just needs to wait for Alakazam to recover, take it back, and then escape with an instant teleportation.

Therefore, his loyalty to Wen Qi is the lowest. After all, Wen Qi is the youngest. Sun Zheng feels that Alakazam will be able to break through the gym level soon, and with the addition of instant teleportation, he feels that he has a bright future and does not need to submit to Wen Qi.

Although these are just Wen Qi's guesses, they are probably pretty close.

As for why Zhang Long is so loyal, Wen Qi thought about it and felt that there were several main reasons.

One is that Zhang Long is getting older and, having experienced the baptism of time, he doesn’t want to toss around anymore.

He may have experienced many twists and turns in the past, and now he longs for stability.

Second, Zhang Long keenly realized that Wen Qi was a potential stock.

Wen Qi possesses such powerful strength at such a young age, and is also a high-level cultivator.

In Zhang Long's opinion, following Wen Qi, he would most likely achieve something in the future.

Third, although Zhang Long has a bad temper and is not a good person in the traditional sense, he keeps his word and keeps his promises.

This quality, at times, becomes the cornerstone of his loyalty.

Fourth, after the mission failed, Zhang Long knew that if he went back, he would probably not have a good ending.

In comparison, following Wenqi may be a better choice.

As for why he was so disgusted with Wen Qi before, Wen Qi guessed that it might be his arrogance that was at work.

However, when he really calmed down and thought everything through, he chose to accept his fate.

Once he accepted his fate, a certain obsession in his heart seemed to be let go, and he became more loyal instead.

Zhang Long began to examine his situation and future. He understood that the choice he made at this moment might determine the direction of his future life.

By following Wenqi, you can not only get better development opportunities, but also avoid some potential risks.

He no longer dwelled on his past arrogance and prejudice, but instead treated his relationship with Wenqi with a completely new attitude.

During this process, his loyalty has gradually increased unknowingly and has become the highest one at present.

As for Li Hu, although he is not as old as Zhang Long, he is also around 40 years old. His mentality is probably similar to Zhang Long's, but he is somewhat unwilling to accept his fate, so his loyalty is lower.

Wen Qi knew very well that in order to obtain the mission rewards, the most urgent task was to increase the loyalty of the three people to 60 points so that they could obtain the first stage rewards.

For now, it seems that the focus should only be on Sun Zheng.

Sun Zheng's inappropriate thoughts must be curbed. Wen Qi has already thought of a solution, which is to make his retreat a dead end.

As for how to do it specifically, Wen Qi already had a preliminary plan in mind.

He planned to start with Alakazam, the weapon Sun Zheng relied on the most, and cut off his possibility of escaping by relying on Alakazam's instant movement.

Or put psychological pressure on Sun Zheng to make him understand that following him is the best choice.

Wen Qi believed that as long as the right approach was used, Sun Zheng's loyalty would definitely improve.

Once Sun Zheng's loyalty reaches the requirement, coupled with Zhang Long and Li Hu's already high loyalty, obtaining the first stage rewards will be just around the corner.

Wen Qi stood there with a serious expression. He withdrew his gaze from the direction where Alakazam left and instead looked at the Pokémon lying on the ground not far away after being knocked down by Mantis and Squirtle.

He knew clearly in his heart that the most important thing now was not to think about how to improve the loyalty of those three people, but the subsequent troubles that were about to be faced.

"You three, first collect all the Pokémon on the ground into Poké Balls, and then give them to me. I will return them to you later." Wen Qi's voice was steady and firm, and there was no room for doubt.

When Zhang Long, Li Hu and Sun Zheng heard this, they were shocked.

They looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

Zhang Long frowned, feeling dissatisfied.

He thought secretly: "This kid is too much. He is so distrustful right after he conquered us. Who knows what will happen in the future."

Zhang Long showed an unhappy look on his face. He crossed his arms over his chest and looked at Wen Qi with questioning eyes.

Li Hu's face also turned a little ugly. He secretly wondered the purpose of Wen Qi's action and worried that his Pokémon would encounter an accident.

"What should I do? What if something happens to my Pokémon..." Li Hu was anxious and a worried look appeared on his face.

Sun Zheng was even more reluctant. He was not very loyal to begin with, and now he felt that Wen Qi's actions were excessive.

Sun Zheng thought to himself, "Humph, this guy is really untrustworthy. I have to find a way to get rid of him."

There was a glimmer of cunning in Sun Zheng's eyes, and an expression of dissatisfaction appeared on his face.

"This... why should I give you the Poké Ball?" Zhang Long spoke first, with a questioning tone in his voice.

Wen Qi looked at them calmly and said slowly, "There will be troubles ahead, and I cannot be completely confident in you yet. I am leaving these Pokémon with me to ensure that we can better deal with the situation ahead."

The three of them remained silent, struggling within themselves.

They are fully aware that they are now in a weak position and resistance may bring worse consequences.

After a fierce ideological struggle, they finally chose to do as they were told.

Zhang Long gritted his teeth, took the lead in taking his Pokémon on the ground back into the Poké Ball, and then reluctantly handed it to Wen Qi.

His movements were somewhat stiff, and the dissatisfaction on his face was still obvious.

Li Hu hesitated for a moment, then took back his Pokémon and handed it to Wen Qi.

There was helplessness in his eyes, but he was thinking about how to deal with it in the future.

Sun Zheng slowly took back the Poké Ball and finally handed it to Wen Qi.

His face was full of reluctance, and he became more determined to find an opportunity to escape.

However, Wen Qi soon discovered that the loyalty of the three people had declined because of his request.

张龙的忠诚度从 60 点降到了 55 点，李虎从 50 点降到了 45 点，孙正更是从 30 点降到了 25 点。

Wen Qi sighed slightly in his heart, but he had no time to care about these things at the moment.

He knew that this decision might make them unhappy, but in the current situation, he had to make sure he had enough control to deal with unknown crises.

Wen Qi put away the Poké Ball properly, and looking at the three people's somewhat lost and angry expressions, he didn't say much.

He understood that after dealing with the subsequent matters, he would find an opportunity to solve this problem and restore their loyalty.

Now, he had to concentrate on dealing with the coming trouble.
