On December 5th, Xia Chen flew to Beijing in advance to adapt to the competition environment.
The climate difference between the Jiangnan region and the Huangzhong region is quite large. Although the elves are physically strong, they are more or less acclimatized.
The gold content of this competition is much higher than that of the Bogaman Cup Zhijiang Station, and Xia Chen does not dare to neglect it at all.
However, high-intensity training on the first day was not appropriate. Xia Chen wanted to take Ibrahimovic and the others to visit the scenic spots. Ibrahimovic and Menas readily agreed, but when they arrived at La Lulas, she hesitated a little!
This was an unprecedented thing. Xia Chen was a little surprised. La Lulas, who had always been clinging to him, actually hesitated!
Looking at the "superpower stimulating device" that La Lulas put down hesitantly, Xia Chen felt that he understood something.
She wanted to secretly open the book while Ibrahimovic and Menas were hanging out!
Xia Chen picked up Lalu Lasi with some humor, "It's a rare occasion to come to Beijing and have a fun day together. This kind of thing can be used at any time, don't be so impatient."
"Lalu..."
Lalulas nodded obediently, feeling a little ashamed.
I almost rejected Xia Chen in order to quickly enter the simulation world. What is the difference between this and those people who are addicted to the online world and have no self-control?
Fortunately, Xia Chen reminded himself.
Yes, the cooling time is up anyway, it doesn't make any difference if it's earlier or later.
But Xia Chen still remembers every time he simulated the world, which is so considerate!
With this thought in mind, La Lulas, who was placed in the same position by Xia Chen, rubbed his cheek.
Xia Chen smiled and touched her head, "That's right. Those are all imaginary. It would be better to spend more time in the real world."
"LaRue!"
Larulus nodded thoughtfully.
Thinking about this period of time, I spend the first five days of each cycle thinking about what I didn’t do well in the last simulation, and the last five days thinking about what to do in the next simulation, I feel a little confused.
Like last time, I had never beaten that abominable Hypnotic Tapir, and there was nothing to choose from in the prize pool. I could only choose a mastery move [Synchronized Interference], which made me angry for several days.
Thanks to Xia Chen for waking him up, otherwise he would have been addicted to the simulation world.
Lalulasi secretly made up her mind not to think too much about it every time the simulation ended.
In the real world, living every day well with Xia Chen is the most important thing!
…………
Taking along La Lulas who wanted to open the book secretly, Xia Chen and the three elves went out happily.
Shangjing is the largest city in the Donghuang region. Looking at all regions, only Miare City, Feiyun City, Gongmen City, and Jinhuang City can compare with it.
In such a big city, there are naturally many places to visit. Considering the relatively large size of Menas, indoor places such as museums can be excluded.
Xia Chen finally chose the former between Xiangshan Park and the Summer Palace. It was a mountain after all, so it sounded bigger.
But after the novelty filter wore off, Xia Chen felt that... mountains everywhere seemed to be the same.
Although there were many elves that could not be seen in Jiangnan, Xia Chen had no thoughts of subduing the fourth elf for the time being.
So before noon, after discussing with the elves, Xia Chen decided to end the travel plan early.
Standing in front of Qianlong Gym in Shangjing City, Xia Chen looked at the majestic gate of the gym and said with emotion: "If I had known earlier, it would still be a gym..."
Sure enough, the trainer's romance is still about the battle between elves.
Of course Xia Chen didn't come here to challenge the gym. There was a sign clearly posted at the door of the gym -
[Those who have not obtained a senior trainer certificate are prohibited from challenging!]
Of course, this is not a matter of discrimination based on strength. The main reason is that in the past, there were always some ignorant boys in shorts who came to challenge the gym, and the gym leaders had to be busy from early morning to dusk every day.
Then I looked behind me and, oh, there was a line of people lined up!
Especially in a city with many tourists like Shangjing, taking a trip and challenging a gym is like checking in.
Finally, the Donghuang Alliance received a joint letter from more than a dozen gym leaders before setting this rule.
…………
As for Xia Chen now, his certificate is still at the novice level. If he really wants to fight, he will probably be at the amateur level.
Two months ago, Ibrahimovic needed an explosive repayment to win over Nidoqueen, who was about to reach the amateur level.
But now, without using repayment, Ibrahimovic can easily defeat opponents of that level.
However, I am making progress, and others cannot wait around. There is still a long way to go in the future.
What's more, the span between amateur level and senior level is much larger than the span from novice level to entry level to amateur level.
So Xia Chen's visit to Qianlong Gym this time was not to challenge the gym.
The purpose of his coming here was firstly to see if he could watch the game, and secondly to check out the spots.
It is not only the starting point for challenges, but also the starting point for the entire gym.
As a future Xianyu Gym Leader, it’s normal to pay attention to how other people’s gyms are run, right?
Therefore, Xia Chen, who was looking around curiously as soon as he entered the gym, was immediately targeted.
…
"Hey, what are you here for?"
A loud shout interrupted Xia Chen's interest in admiring the exquisite furnishings in the gym hall.
He frowned, turned towards the source of the sound, and saw a girl about the same age as himself.
The girl's appearance was exquisite, but her expression at the moment was a little unkind. She frowned slightly, crossed her hands across her chest, and asked in a strong tone.
Xia Chen secretly sighed inwardly, this woman doesn't look like a good person.
However, he did not rush to get angry, but asked: "Are you the gym leader here?"
The girl's aura instantly weakened visibly, "...not yet."
As soon as he heard this, Xia Chen understood. This girl could say this and act as if she regarded this place as her own home. She must be some kind of "Kate several generations".
As someone whose strength and status are second only to the King of Heaven, the Gym Leader is definitely considered a golden rice bowl.
It is not uncommon for children to inherit their father's legacy in many gyms, and Qianlong Gym should be one of them.
Having probably guessed the girl's identity, Xia Chen had no worries.
"Why, your gym still doesn't allow tourists to visit?"
This move is called a counter-general. When faced with a child whose immaturity can be seen at a glance, you must not follow her lead. You must firmly hold the initiative in your own hands.
"This...is allowed..."
The girl's voice continued to weaken, and the hand on her chest was slowly lowered.
This action showed that her "attack power" had been reduced to an infinitely low level by Xia Chen's continuous "intimidation".
Xia Chen smiled slightly, that's it?
Seeing that his opponent's strength was too weak, he began to turn against his opponents.
"It seems that you should be the apprentice of this gym. You are the master and I am the guest. The way to treat guests in your gym is to call others to feed you first? Is this what your gym owner teaches?"
"Yeah...sorry."
The girl's voice was as loud as a mosquito's, and the volume was so low that it was almost inaudible.
Xia Chen was almost done with his anger. He didn't say anything like "I can't hear you clearly! I have no energy!" and let the girl who was almost spoiled go.
Just as Xia Chen was about to turn around and continue to visit the majestic gym hall, another older girl walked over.
"Okay Xiaoli, you can go back and continue training. I will receive this guest."
…
Ibrahimovic looked at the girl coming towards him and fell into deep thought.
Isn't this the future dragon king of the Donghuang region...
Met by chance again?
Ibrahimovic raised his head and glanced at Xia Chen. How come he feels that in this life's trajectory, he always inadvertently meets the most powerful figures in the future?
