Elf, I am really a farmer

After Wen Qi found out the relevant matters from Dr. Chu Feng, he felt much more relaxed and his steps became lighter, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from him.

He used teleportation to return to the farm. As soon as he landed, he took a deep breath of the fresh air on the farm. The familiar scent of grass and soil made him feel extremely at ease.

As he walked into the house, he was thinking:

“Although there may be many troubles in the future, the position of gym leader is still worth fighting for.

Once you become a gym leader, there are many benefits.

I could have built the gym directly on the farm. After all, as Chunhua City expands in the future, this place will be considered a suburb. It is also close to the Chunhua Forest, which is home to many Pokémon, and we need someone to guard it.

If I build a gym here, the city will definitely be happy to see it, and it will be a win-win situation for me."

Thinking of this, Wen Qi's mouth corners unconsciously raised, and his eyes flashed with excitement.

“By then, the two Heavenly Kings in Chunhua Forest will have a very close relationship with me, and their tribes will still be working for me. If I recruit some more students, won’t Chunhua Forest be like my back garden?

Hehe, does this count as occupying the mountain and becoming the king? "

Wen Qi couldn't help laughing out loud, and the laughter echoed in the quiet farm.

However, when he thought about dealing with those officials in the future, Wen Qi's smile froze instantly, and a look of annoyance appeared on his face. He frowned and muttered to himself:

"It's really troublesome to deal with those officials, but it doesn't matter. Once the gym is built, I will find a capable butler to handle these trivial matters."

After making up his mind, Wen Qi no longer hesitated, walked straight to the phone and dialed Zhou Zhiwen's number.

The moment the call was connected, Wen Qi cleared his throat and said in a steady voice:

"Brother Zhou, I'm Wenqi."

Zhou Zhiwen asked anxiously on the other end of the phone:

"Brother Wen, what have you thought about?"

Wen Qi straightened his body slightly and answered with a firm look in his eyes:

"Brother Zhou, I have decided to participate in the gym leader selection. Can you please help me sign up?"

When Zhou Zhiwen heard this, he was immediately delighted and his voice became louder:

"That's great, Brother Wen! I knew you wouldn't miss this opportunity. It would be good for all of us if you could become the gym leader.

Although there will be more gym masters in the city in the future and their power may be reduced, they are still senior personnel in the city after all, and will be of great help to me in carrying out my work.

Alas, it's a pity that I'm not strong enough, otherwise I would like to try it myself. The treatment of this gym leader is much better than my current one."

Wen Qi smiled and said:

"Brother Zhou, don't be so modest."

Zhou Zhiwen continued:

"Okay, Brother Wen, I'll compile your information and report it to you. By the way, have you asked Dr. Chu Feng for help?"

Wen Qi sighed softly and said helplessly:

"It's not convenient for Dr. Chu Feng to come forward."

There was a hint of disappointment in Zhou Zhiwen's voice:

"Ah? This is a bit troublesome."

Wen Qi quickly explained:

“Brother Zhou, don’t worry. Although Dr. Chu Feng can’t say hello directly, he has several old friends in the city, and they will help me.”

When Zhou Zhiwen heard this, he immediately turned from worry to joy, and his tone became relaxed:

"So that's how it is, I'm relieved then.

Dr. Chu Feng’s old friends must be well-known figures, so there will be no problem.

I will report to you right away, and you can just stay at home and prepare, and wait for my good news."

"Then I'll trouble you, Brother Zhou. Please inform me if you have any news."

Wen Qi said politely.

"Don't worry, brother."

Zhou Zhiwen hung up the phone after he finished speaking.

Wen Qi put down the phone, sat on the chair, crossed his hands on his chest, his eyes full of expectation, thinking in his heart:

"What will this gym selection be like? I have to prepare well and not let down."

His eyes gradually became profound, as if he had seen himself passing the gym leader selection, and a confident smile appeared on the corners of his mouth.

Wen Qi sat in the small house on the farm, recalling the information about gym leader selection that he had learned from Dr. Chu Feng. His expression was sometimes solemn and sometimes relaxed.

"There are three key aspects to this gym leader selection."

Wen Qi muttered to himself, his eyes focused, his fingers tapping lightly on the table.

"First of all, I am not too worried about the selection qualifications. I am now a senior breeder, and with the help of Dr. Chu Feng's friends, I think it will not be difficult to be shortlisted."

After saying that, he raised his chin slightly, a look of confidence appearing on his face.

“The second is the strength test, which is nothing more than fighting.

Either you fight against each other and the winner is elected; or you challenge levels.

However, the doctor also said that gym challenges in a small city like ours usually adopt a combat format. After all, this is the most cost-effective and direct way.

The level-breaking mode consumes too much energy and resources of the organizer and is very troublesome, so it is usually only considered for regional gym selections.

As for the first-level alliance-level gyms, as mentioned before, they are passed down from generation to generation. As long as the entire family is not extinct, even if they become weak in the middle, the alliance will manage them on their behalf. When they reach a certain level of strength, the alliance will return it to them."

As Wen Qi spoke, he stood up and paced slowly around the room with steady and powerful steps.

"Speaking of fighting, I am quite confident in my own abilities, so I am not afraid of this level."

He stopped, a determined gleam flashed in his eyes, and his clenched fists also showed his inner confidence.

However, when he thought of the third aspect, Wen Qi frowned slightly and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.

“This concept of opening a gym is a bit tricky.

The Alliance requires gyms to not only protect the city’s safety, but also guide trainers to learn knowledge.

This still requires an interview. I am so young, I really don’t know what I can teach others.”

He shook his head helplessly and sighed softly, with a hint of worry in his voice.

Wen Qi fell into deep thought, looking out the window with a somewhat empty look in his eyes, his fingers unconsciously fiddling with the corner of his clothes.

"Generally, gyms teach the concepts, methods, and moves of training Pokémon. I have a breeder system, so I can give you some pointers in this regard."

His eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had thought of a brilliant idea, and his originally furrowed brows gradually relaxed.

“By the way, I’ll use the title of Advanced Breeder as my gimmick!

As long as someone defeats me, I will give them guidance on Pokémon training and ten energy cubes of intermediate perfect quality.

This energy cube costs 20,000 yuan even in my store, so it’s a pretty good reward.”

Wen Qi rubbed his hands excitedly, a joyful smile on his face, as if he had already seen the scene of his gym attracting many trainers to come and challenge it.

“I just don’t know if my idea will work.

I haven’t traveled much, so I can’t share any life experience with you, so I can only offer practical help in this way.”

Wen Qi regained some of his calm, with a hint of uneasiness in his eyes, but more of determination.

"But I can't do a business that loses money. I can only allow ten people to challenge me a day, and control the success rate to half. This way, I will only lose fifty energy cubes a day. It's not a big problem. I can just consider it as an initial investment."

He nodded slightly, as if to cheer himself up.

After figuring out these key issues, Wen Qi felt relieved, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and sat back in his chair, his eyes full of relaxation and anticipation.

"Okay, in the next period of time, I have to hurry up and let Tortoise and Venusaur break through, and then I will wait patiently for the assessment to begin. I will definitely stand out in the gym leader selection!"

He straightened his back, looked into the distance with a firm gaze, his tone full of determination and confidence.
