The Elf Guide is in my heart

"A guest? No." Ning watched Lan Neng freely go in and out of the back room, and he was obviously a member of the store.

"So, Senior Lan..."

Before Ning could finish speaking, Lan waved his hand to interrupt him and said, "You, you'd better stop calling me senior, just call me Lan."

Every time Ning mentions the word "senior sister", it always reminds Lan of today's duel.

Moreover, her previous misunderstanding of Ning seemed to have become a dark history in her heart, which was so shameful.

"So, classmate Lan, why are you here?" Ning could only ask honestly.

"Because this is my home." Lan replied matter-of-factly.

She then pointed to the shop owner who was on the ground, suffering from excitement, pain from pain, and joy from pain, and said with a black line on his face: "This is my father."

"Oh." Ning calmed down his thoughts and roughly understood the reason for the matter.

First of all, Lan is the granddaughter of Mr. Zhan and the daughter of the store owner.

So the relationship between Old Man Zhan and the shop owner is almost obvious, they are undoubtedly father and son.

It's just that the looks of the three of them are really very different. Their genes are like playing checkers.

He looked at the shop owner who was big and thick-waisted, Lan, who was a school beauty, and the "unparalleled master" - Old Man Zhan.

Who would have known that these three people were actually a family. Ning is completely puzzled by that.

Ning guessed that due to some undisclosed reasons, the relationship between the old man and the boss seemed to have broken down and was not a good one.

As for the reason, it is difficult for outsiders to understand. After all, this is someone's privacy. It's better not to pry, and he is not a gossip.

In short, the shop owner hopes to deliver the ramen made by himself to his father.

Maybe it was to seek forgiveness from the old man, maybe it was to perform a trivial act of filial piety, or maybe he just hoped to bring a little warmth to his father in the cold wind of the mountains.

But no matter what, for Ning, an outsider, the truth of the matter has been revealed, which is enough.

"Father, what are you holding in your hand?" Lan looked at the smoking machine in the shop owner's hand in surprise.

"It's my mobile phone. It's the mobile phone I've been using for two years. Woohoo." Ning thought a little aggrievedly.

When he was in high school, in order not to put an extra burden on his aunt's family, he would charge his mobile phone at school before going home.

The wife belongs to the next door neighbor, Uncle Wang. Of course it's not free, it's conditional on cleaning Uncle Wang every Friday.

Looking at the screen that had turned into a spider web and the unbearably squeezed out parts, even if Ning knew nothing about electronic products, he knew that it was a long shot to save this phone.

After the store owner calmed down his excitement, he slowly stood up from the ground.

"I made this classmate laugh." The shop owner's expression returned to its original state, as calm as if nothing had happened just now.

The boss began to look at the person in front of him.

He did not forget that when Ning, a preparatory student at Gaoqi University, and his father, Old Man Zhan, met for the first time, they were warmly welcomed to the gym, had dinner together, and even stayed overnight.

According to the report of the old man's eldest disciple, Ning and the old man talked until late at night. This scene was witnessed by all the old man's disciples.

Although they did not see whether the old man ate the ramen he made himself, this still needed to be confirmed by themselves and Ning. But fortunately, he had seen the photo just now.

However, the store owner looked at Ning even more puzzled. Because that's not the crux of the problem.

Old Man Zhan is his father, and he knows his father too well.

It is said that a son is better known than his father, and sometimes the reverse is also true.

The old man's temperament, character, and his terrifying strength unknown to the world. The store owner knows that better than anyone else.

That was such an arrogant trainer. It was simply unbelievable that he could have dinner and talk with a young man who was still a preparatory student late at night.

Is it difficult to challenge the first-level gym? Of course it's difficult.

So has any trainer Tianzhan successfully passed the first level gym? Of course there is.

But we have to exclude the Takasaki Flat Top Gym in the Kanto area.

Because the moment Old Man Zi Zhan became the owner of the gym, he welcomed countless new challengers who were loyal to him. Among them, kings from various regions even visited in private.

But without exception, all were defeated. No one has ever succeeded in challenging this gym.

Gym medal? Sorry, no.

The emblem of Takasaki Flat Top Gym has not been designed yet.

At the beginning, the staff of the Kanto Pokémon Association negotiated with Old Man Zhan on the design of the gym badge.

After all, this is a first-level gym, and its emblem is of great significance. It represents the highest level and honor of trainers in the Kanto region, and there is no room for any negligence or mistakes.

But Old Man Zhan waved his hand and dismissed the staff of the Pokémon Association with just one sentence.

"Except for those four immortal hopefuls, who do you think can defeat me?"

In one sentence, the staff of the association were sent back, and the matter was settled like this.

Takasaki Flat Top Gym has no badges designed. What if the challenger succeeds in kicking him out? At that time, it’s not too late to make it now.

But the key is is it possible?

The top management of the Pokémon Association knows that the four "old immortals" mentioned by Old Man Zhan are the four world-famous kings today. And in the words of the old man, they only have hope of defeating themselves.

This is definitely an almost arrogant self-confidence, so arrogant that even the Four Heavenly Kings of the world do not look down upon him, and it also shows the old man's great strength.

Although Old Man Zhan's strength is not known to the world, he is famous among the top trainers in the Pokémon training world and is known to everyone.

If you are a direct disciple or student officially recognized by the old man, the heavenly kings in all regions will be courteous to you, and even the four heavenly kings in the world will support you.

This was something Ning didn't know, although he was aware of Old Man Zhan's strength. But in fact, he still underestimated it.

Old Man Zhan is such an existence.

However, a trainer of this level values ​​the young man in front of him so much, which has to make the shop owner pay more attention to him.

"My name is Zuo. You can call me Boss Zuo. I am the owner of this ramen restaurant." Boss Zuo solemnly introduced himself.

"Hello, Boss Zuo, my name is Ning. As you know, I am a preparatory student at Gaoqi University." Ning also responded quickly.

"A student from Gaoqi University." Boss Zuo nodded. He subconsciously ignored the word "preparation".

If a joke can be appreciated by that "old man", will he be a low-energy waste who can't even pass a small school entrance examination?

"You already know that your job is to deliver food to the Takasaki Pingding Gym every day, that is, its owner, Mr. Zhan."

Boss Zuo looked at Ning, who looked calm, and continued: "The hourly salary is what we discussed before, eighty." Boss Zuo believed that this salary was not low, especially for a preparatory student.

He glanced at Lan, who was standing at the door, and made a gesture to his daughter. The latter understood the meaning and walked out of the back room, quietly closing the door before leaving.

"What do you think?" Boss Zuo asked Ning carefully. After all, the person in front of him had a relationship with his father that he didn't understand yet, so he had to be careful.

If Old Man Zhan is angry again because of this incident, he will really have no chance to ease the relationship with his father.

Ning, however, did not immediately answer Boss Zhan's words. Instead, he gently put his hand on his forehead, caressed his forehead, and calculated rapidly in his mind.

First of all, in order not to break the rules, and in order to train his giant needle bee like last time, he would rather climb Takasaki Pingding Mountain himself no matter what.

And he calculated that he would need ten hours of desperate climbing. If the giant needle bee stops on itself, this time will be extended by another hour or two.

In other words, Ning's daily salary is roughly estimated to be between 800 and 1000.

As long as he can persist for a month, his salary will reach between 24000 and 30000, which is far more than most working-class people. Even white-collar workers in large companies are only at this level.

However, after each training session, the giant needle bee must add a blueberry, which will directly reduce Ning's income by 700 yuan.

In addition to the elf rations that Ning's Needle needs every day, this is a big expense. We can't let the Needle starve.

Usually the rations required by an elf are one-twentieth of its total weight.

Ning's big needle weighs about 30kg and requires 0.6kg of elf rations every day.

The price of low-level elf rations (lv0–lv40) is 100/kg.

This is another 60 yuan consumption. But fortunately, for this cost, even if Ning is a preparatory student, Takasaki University will compensate her every day.

There is also the "physical drink" that Ning needs to drink. After all, climbing for ten hours is a test for the body and mind.

Perhaps for the diligent Ning, mental torture is not a problem for him.

But the limits of his body were beyond his control.

And "energy drinks" are the key. Different from the previous life, the "energy drinks" in the elf world have amazing effects.

It is not just a drink like in the previous life. It has no effect other than salty, sour and sweet.

Not only does it really refresh the mind, but more importantly it relieves fatigue and heals body functions.

Among them, "Haoli Brand Haogaili Sports Drink" is specially designed to deal with excessive muscle use. Its price is as high as 150.

Although it is expensive, its efficacy is remarkable. It is based on medicinal materials unique to the elven world. So far, no side effects have been found. This made him quite reassured.

All these factors add up, and Ning's finances are quite tight.

Looking at the hesitant Ning, Boss Zuo thought that Ning felt that the conditions were not good enough and wanted to regret it.

He immediately promised that if Ning could accept the job, although he would not provide him with accommodation, he would provide him with two meals a day.

Boss Zuo finally found a suitable candidate. How could he give up like this?

Hearing this, Ning's eyes lit up. If the boss can provide him with two meals, it will definitely be a big help to him.

"Boss, what are these two meals?" Ning Wen asked cautiously. There was a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

"Such a special job naturally requires special treatment. Both meals include our popular ramen." Boss Zuo replied.

"Then please take care of me, boss!" Ning felt that the conditions were almost complete, and he felt a little ignorant when he was ink, so he immediately agreed.

The door was pushed open again, and it was Lan who came just now. There was a wallet in her hand. It seemed that it was the store owner's wallet.

Despite his status as the boss, this wallet is very simple.

If Ning read it correctly, the exterior of the wallet should be imitation leather and the zipper should be plastic.

Because his uncle also has the same style of wallet. This wallet is low-priced, but very durable and cost-effective. It will last for more than ten years without any problem. In the memory he absorbed, his uncle had not changed at all since he remembered him.

Looking at the wallet in Boss Zuo's hand and the worn wear marks on it, Ning estimated that this wallet might have been used longer than his uncle, and maybe even older than himself. .

Ning watched the boss take out 60 hundred-yuan notes one by one from his bulging wallet, and then handed a small stack of notes to Ning.

"6000 yuan? Boss, what is this?" Ning didn't take the note, looking at the boss with a puzzled look on his face.
