Elf, I am really a farmer

Wen Qi became more and more confused after hearing this. He tilted his head and asked in confusion, "How could this be? I haven't done anything special. How can I be so famous?"

His brows were tightly locked together, his eyes were full of questions and a hint of confusion, as if he was very surprised at his fame in Chunhua City.

Zhou Zhiwen smiled and explained patiently:

"Brother Wen, you are just too low-key. The energy blocks in your store benefit many trainers in the whole city. Just based on this, how can you not be famous?

Now that you have the ability, the recommendation, and the popularity, who else can you be the gym leader?"

Zhou Zhiwen's tone was a little excited, as if he had already seen the beautiful picture of Wen Qi becoming the gym master, and his eyes were flashing with excitement.

After hearing what Zhou Zhiwen said, Wen Qi fell silent.

His heart seemed to be filled with mixed feelings, as if a bottle of five flavors had been overturned.

He originally just wanted to be a "salted fish" quietly and lead a simple and comfortable life, but now it seems that with the continuous growth of his own strength, some things seem to be unavoidable.

The lives of the gym leaders in anime couldn't help but emerge in his mind. There were glorious moments, but also countless troubles.

He couldn't help but hesitate, and was caught in a dilemma, not knowing what to do.

He held his chin with both hands, his eyes somewhat empty, as if he was thinking about an extremely complicated problem. The air around him seemed to become solemn because of his silence.

After a long while, Wen Qi slowly raised his head, looked at Zhou Zhiwen, and said in a low voice:

"Brother Zhou, when will this matter end?"

There was a hint of helplessness in his voice, and his eyes revealed a hint of confusion and anxiety, as if he was groping for a ray of hope in the darkness.

Zhou Zhiwen thought for a moment, then replied:

“It is still at the discussion stage among the city’s upper echelons, and I only know about it because of my position.

The specific time has not been determined yet, but it should be determined before the city upgrade. After all, there are many things to deal with in the city upgrade, and manpower is urgently needed. It is estimated that it will start in the next two weeks. "

Wen Qi nodded gently and said slowly:

"I see, Brother Zhou, I need to think about this matter carefully and give you an answer after I think it through. After all, this is not a trivial matter."

There was a hint of confusion and determination in his eyes, and there was a complex light flashing in his eyes, as if a fierce ideological struggle was going on deep in his heart.

Seeing this, Zhou Zhiwen stood up and said with understanding:

"Okay, I'll go first. Tell me when you've made up your mind."

Wen Qi also stood up and saw Zhou Zhiwen off. He stood at the door, watching Zhou Zhiwen's back as he walked away, took a deep breath, and then turned back to the room.

The room was so quiet that it was a little depressing. Wen Qi sat on the edge of the bed, and Zhou Zhiwen's words and various scenes of the gym master kept appearing in his mind like a movie.

He knew that becoming a gym leader meant taking on more responsibilities, dealing with various tedious matters, and facing various challenges.

But this may also be a great opportunity to cooperate more deeply with the alliance and have the opportunity to gain a greater foothold in this world.

But he was also worried that he would not be able to cope with the troubles that would come one after another and would lose his current leisurely and comfortable life.

He was struggling and hesitating in his heart. He kept rubbing his hands unconsciously, and beads of sweat gradually appeared on his forehead. It was as if he was fighting a fierce battle without the smoke of gunpowder.

The room was filled with a tense and solemn atmosphere, with only his gentle breathing echoing slowly in the silence.

The sunlight outside the window seemed to become dim because of his inner struggle, as if the whole world was quietly waiting for him to make the final decision.

Wen Qi paced alone in the room, his brows furrowed and his eyes full of worry.

As he walked slowly, he muttered to himself:

"This gym leader thing seems like a rare opportunity, but it's actually full of troubles."

His voice was low, with a hint of helplessness and entanglement, his footsteps were a little heavy, and each step seemed to carry many heavy thoughts.

He stopped and the past experience of trading life energy cubes with Zhou Zhen involuntarily emerged in his mind.

He shook his head helplessly, a bitter smile appeared on his face, and he thought to himself:

"I made the deal with them just to have some peace and quiet, and avoid their harassment. But who could have expected that I would end up in such a difficult situation now."

He raised his head slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of helplessness and worry.

“If I really become a gym leader and have alliance status, wouldn’t it be a way to seek death if I continue to trade with them?

Once the evidence falls into their hands, the consequences will be disastrous.

But if I don't trade with them anymore, they will definitely harass me again. This group of people will not give up their life energy.

I can't catch them all at once, and if I really don't trade with them in the future, they will probably make the fact that I have life energy public, which will be troublesome."

His body trembled slightly unconsciously, as if he had seen the terrible scene of himself being threatened.

Wen Qi slowly walked to the window, looked at the farm outside with empty eyes, folded his arms across his chest, and fell into deep thought.

"In fact, it is not difficult for me to succeed in the gym leader selection with my strength and background. But the troubles that come after that really make me hesitate."

He sighed softly, his eyes full of fatigue, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Especially Zhou Zhen's side, it's like a time bomb that could explode at any time, it's extremely dangerous."

His eyes suddenly became firm, as if he had thought of a solution.

“If I sell the Life Energy Cube to the Alliance and confess the transaction with Zhou Zhen, I might be able to get Dr. Chu Feng’s protection, but if I do that, those big families will definitely come after hearing the news, and there will be more trouble.

After all, this life energy block is a strategic resource, who wouldn't covet it?"

He clenched his fists tightly, bit his lower lip, and his expression was serious and solemn.

"I don't want to expose myself so early. My current strength is still weak. If this brings more trouble, it will really be more trouble than it is worth."

Wen Qi began to pace back and forth in the room again, with conflicting expressions in his eyes.

"Alakazam's existence is one of my trump cards, but exposing it now would undoubtedly bring disaster upon myself.

I am still young, and such a strong fighting ability will certainly arouse curiosity. When it is spied on by various forces, I will definitely not be at peace. I am afraid that the trouble I am facing will be much more serious than that faced by Dr. Chu Feng."

A look of pain appeared on his face, and his inner struggle became more and more obvious, as if he was struggling desperately in a dark vortex, trying to find a glimmer of hope.

“It seems that the only right thing to do now is to enhance our own strength.

I must make myself stronger and have more trump cards as soon as possible.

At least one more champion-level Pokémon and a few more king-level fighters are needed to provide adequate protection in this complex situation and to truly protect everything that you cherish."

Wen Qi stopped and stood in the middle of the room. A glimmer of hope rekindled in his eyes. He took a deep breath, as if to cheer himself up and prepare to face the challenges of the future.

As for participating in the selection of gym leaders, I'd better ask Dr. Chu Feng first.
