Although Xia Chen has not come into contact with many gym leaders, he knows a lot about them.
Xiaogang, Ma Xiu, and Long Yuan are not casual acquaintances.
Although they live in different regions and have different side jobs, they all have one distinct characteristic in common, confidence.
This is a temperament derived from the dual confidence of strength and identity.
Gym-level trainers are the backbone of a region, second only to the champions and kings.
The gym leader is the best among the gym levels.
Many gym leaders actually have strength that is not inferior to that of the Heavenly King. Long Yuan, the master of the Qianlong Gym whom Xia Chen is familiar with, is a typical representative.
This is the source of their confidence.
But Xia Chen did not see this kind of dazzling or restrained light in Qishu.
Compared to his identity as a gym leader, Qishu, who looks childish, looks more like a quiet girl reading seriously in the school library.
Although it didn't look as unforgettable as in the live broadcast, Xia Chen felt that such a strange tree was much more real and cute.
"By the way, Xia Chen, what video are you planning to make with Qishu?"
The two girls chatted for a long time before Ming Yi brought the topic back on track.
"I want to rent a yacht and go fishing in the sea. How about it?"
Xia Chen has obviously thought deeply about this issue.
"I haven't been to the sea yet. Right next to Nianguang City is the East Padia Sea. How about we go to sea for a while?"
Ming Yi's eyes lit up, she didn't expect Xia Chen to have this idea.
Although Zhijiang is not far from the sea, she has never been to the sea despite her age.
"That's right. There are many elves in the sea that I have never seen before, and you might even meet the legendary Dolphin Man... What do you think, Sister Qishu?"
Qishu's eyes sparkled, and she was obviously moved. She nodded slightly, "I think it's okay... I'll discuss it with Miss Adelina when I get back before I get back to you."
Xia Chen suddenly asked: "What if she refuses because it is too dangerous?"
Qishu's expression froze and he was speechless for a moment.
Xia Chen smiled slightly and said, "If you are willing, I will communicate with her."
Qishu was stunned for a while, then nodded and replied, "Well... I'm sorry to bother you."
…………
Adelina was, as expected, opposed to sea fishing, and even the reason was the same as Xia Chen expected, which was dangerous.
Xia Chen didn't say anything more to her and hung up the phone directly.
Since Adelina gave in in the first negotiation, the so-called bottom line will only get lower and lower in the future.
Two minutes later, Rotom's cell phone rang as expected.
Adelina sighed helplessly on the other end of the phone, "Okay, I agree. When is the date set?"
Xia Chen smiled and replied: "Saturday, I happen to be busy these days, and it won't affect the normal operation of your gym."
"...knew."
Xia Chen raised his phone, smiled at Qishu, and mouthed silently: "It's done~"
A smile instantly broke out on the girl's face.
Different from the exaggerated smile that pretends to be cute and cute during the live broadcast, the girl in front of her is as bright as the sun on the beach, and her crooked eyebrows are not similar to the tired and confused look on the battlefield that day.
Xia Chen suddenly felt that Qishu's smile was worthy of a "screaming team" to protect him. He had already thought of a name, so he called it "Screaming Team".
And he will be the first captain of the Scream Team!
"So, now that everything has been decided, can I come and pick up Qishu now?"
Adelina's demands on the other end of the phone were low to the horizon.
Xia Chen replied calmly: "Don't worry, we haven't eaten lunch yet. Let's pick her up after lunch."
Adelina's tone was a little broken, "It's only around nine o'clock now..."
"That's about right. It's just a good time to chat about the details of cooperation. Anyway, your gym won't be operating today, right?"
"But, we originally planned to move Saturday's Qishu Qishu program to today..."
"Go up by yourself, that's it. The cell phone Rotom has no power and has hung up."
After sending away this annoying agent, the slightly stagnant atmosphere in the room finally eased.
Qishu asked softly: "So, let's continue discussing the details of cooperation?"
Xia Chen shrugged and asked, "Do you have anything to add?"
Qishu shook his head subconsciously. Aren't you the one who wants to discuss the details of cooperation? Ask me what to do?
Xia Chen smiled matter-of-factly and said, "Then we're done talking. Now it's time to rest."
"Thanks..."
Qishu said suddenly.
Now that she was talking about this, how could she not know that Xia Chen was pulling herself ashore from the endless ocean of work.
Although it's only half a day...
Xia Chen didn't answer, but just tilted his head and looked at Ming Yi, "By the way, there were a lot of items in Niangguang Amusement Park that I didn't experience yesterday. How about going to play them later?"
Ming Yi smiled knowingly, nodded and said, "Okay, it just so happens that Ace of Flames and the others are not having all their fun either!"
She looked at Qishu with a smile and invited: "Sister Qishu, come with us."
Qishu hesitated, "I'm afraid fans will find out..."
Xia Chen complained: "The contrast between you and the live broadcast, a ghost can recognize you as a strange tree!"
Qishu was speechless and could only nod.
…………
Just as Xia Chen said, after playing in the amusement park for a long time, no one discovered that this beautiful girl with a delicate face like a doll was the gym leader of their Nianguang City and the spokesperson of the city's image, Qishu.
On the contrary, quite a few people recognized Xia Chen, and a bunch of people surrounded him... The elves around him wanted to take a photo.
The most popular ones were undoubtedly Senbu and Gardevoir. There were enough people surrounding them to fill a reinforced company.
】
There are so many people, of course, there is no time to take photos one by one. With the help of Rotom on the mobile phone, a photographic work of "Master Yin and Her Fans" was born.
There were not many people around Zoroark and Menas, but it wasn't that they were unwelcome, but they looked very cold, as if no strangers were allowed to enter.
After a few fans ran over and found themselves asking for trouble, no one dared to harass him.
The least popular one is of course their trainer Xia Chen.
Only a few people who were rejected by Zoroark and Menas had to do the next best thing and ran over to take a group photo.
Mingyi and Qishu were sitting on seats not far away, eating ice cream and chatting while waiting for Xia Chen.
"Isn't Sister Qishu a native of Niangguang City? Haven't you been here before?"
Qishu had been acting like a curious baby since he entered the amusement park, and Mingyi finally had time to ask this question.
Qishu shook his head, "I haven't been here before, and not all people in Nianguang City... are rich."
Smile is the thing that can best shorten the distance between people. After a morning of playing, the relationship between the two of them has become much closer. Qishu is not as distant as he was in the restaurant, and he gradually talks more.
She looked slightly condensed and said: "Even now, there are still slums in Niangguang City."
Mingyi was slightly startled. Qishu's pointed words were almost like he was announcing his family status.
Did she grow up in the ghetto?
Not very realistic...
You know, Qishu is only twenty-three years old.
To grow into such a young gym leader requires a lot of resources.
It's not that it's impossible, but if you want to go from the slums to this point in a short time, you have to be at least as good as Xia Chen, right?
This is not to praise Xia Chen, but if it weren't for Xia Chen who is extremely talented as a trainer and can make a lot of money in some side jobs...
Mingyi really couldn't imagine that a child who came out of the slums would grow up to be the gym leader of the second largest city in the Padia region within ten years.
No, if it's Qishu, maybe there's also... the capital behind her?
Thinking of Xia Chen's speculation yesterday and what she saw today, Ming Yi felt that the possibility of this guess was quite high.
Because Qishu's behavior in front of her manager didn't look like the owner of a hotel at all...
And brokers are, at best, nothing more than the epitome of capital.
So it is almost self-evident who really controls the Niangguang Gym.
…………
"Quack!"
The cry of the croaking frog interrupted Mingyi's thoughts.
I looked up and saw that several of my elves had just gotten off the amusement ride called [Roller Coaster].
"How's it going? Is it fun?"
Ming Yi touched Liang Xilong, who was swaying behind him, and it was clear that he had not recovered yet, and asked with a smile.
The dizzy Liangxinlong didn't say anything and plunged directly into Mingyi's arms.
The cold frog brother shook his head lightly, as if "I don't feel anything at all", but his slightly trembling flippers still exposed his inner feelings.
The Ace of Flames, who loves to compete with the frog, mercilessly exposed this scene, and then was spit out by the embarrassed frog brother, and the two elves started chasing and fighting every day.
Over there, Xia Chen also finished dealing with the enthusiastic fans, led Xianbu, Gardevoir and the others out of the encirclement and came over.
He said with a grimace: "How about we go back? The response to the video yesterday was so great, I feel like the entire amusement park is now my fan..."
Ming Yi nodded indifferently, "Okay, then where should we go to play next?"
Xia Chen smiled and raised the phone in his hand, "Sunflower Restaurant, come to life~"
Qishu, who finally escaped from the gym, naturally followed him half-pushingly.
For Qishu, everything outside the gym is new.
Whether it's an amusement park or participating in Xia Chen's "Capturing Wealth-seeking Spirits" activity, it's another side of the world that she has never experienced.
It wasn't until night fell that she suddenly realized that she had spent a day without spotlights and cameras for the first time in a long time.
Excessive relaxation even gave her a sense of unreality and anxiety.
And after being taken back to the Niangguang Gym by Adelina, these feelings all turned into familiar depression.
Listening to the manager's chattering in her ears, she even began to wonder whether what she experienced during the day was real or illusory.
In the playground where people were coming and going, for the first time she felt like she was in a public area but not being watched.
She can eat ice cream unscrupulously, which is not allowed due to body control, she can visit amusement parks that she never had time to play in before, and she has made people she might call friends...
But after returning to this cage-like residence, all that disappeared.
So clean that no trace is left except for the memory in my mind.
"...We have to open the restaurant an hour early tomorrow, so I will ask the escort to wake you up an hour early, got it?"
"Um."
Qishu subconsciously made a nasal sound.
Adelina nodded with satisfaction, "Then you go to bed early. I'll leave first. By the way, you should also prepare for Saturday's activities."
"I see."
Is it Saturday... It will be fun to go fishing with Xia Chenmingyi and the others, right?
Qishu's mind wandered further and further, and it seemed that that day had already arrived.
…………
Saturday is not close, but it is only two days away.
In the past two days, Xia Chen and Ming Yi's lives were extremely regular.
In the morning, I went to challenge the gym and failed. Then at noon, I went to a restaurant to eat and catch a fortune-seeking spirit.
In the afternoon, there is free time. The two usually choose to go to a training center to train elves, or visit the more famous attractions in Niangguang City.
In the evening, just like at noon, people go to the prostitute restaurant to catch Cai Ling and collect gold coins three times in a row.
After four meals, he emptied the treasure chests of four wealth-seeking spirits. At this time, the total number of gold coins in Xia Chen's hand had exceeded five hundred, of which nearly two hundred were completely alienated coins.
There are still no signs of evolution in the family's wealth-seeking spirit.
Xia Chen was not discouraged. His journey in Padia had just begun. The water kept dripping, and one day the stone would pierce through.
Xia Chen is also paying attention to the situation at Qishu. She has been broadcasting the gym challenge live as usual in the past two days.
Looking at the strange tree on the screen that was still dazzling and full of vitality, Xia Chen felt quite emotional.
Is this really the same girl as the girl I saw two days ago...
Two days passed so quickly, and in the blink of an eye, Saturday arrived.
As a seaside city, Niangguang City is also an extremely developed seaside city, and yachts are definitely indispensable.
Of course Xia Chen didn't buy it so generously, he just rented one.
Even so, the two-day rental of this luxury yacht, as well as the various expenses such as hiring an elf crew, also cost Xia Chen nearly 100,000 yuan.
So, at ten o'clock in the morning on a sunny day, everyone was present and everything was ready.
Woo——
As a melodious whistle sounded, the ship slowly began to move under the blue sky and white clouds.
The luxury yacht named "Electric Petrel" set off white waves, set sail from Lota Port in Nangguang City, and sailed slowly towards the Paga Sea between Padea and Galar.
…………
Although the main purpose of going out to sea this time is to experience sea fishing, the trip is expected to last two days and it is impossible to start fishing in a hurry as soon as we get up.
In the cockpit, Captain Xia Chenzheng and First Officer Senbu were studying the intelligent driving system.
This yacht is expensive because of the driving system alone, which houses a Rotom who is proficient in driving and marine knowledge.
It once again shows that electronic ghosts in the elf world are more trusted by people than artificial intelligence.
As for my mobile phone Rotom, it was the photographer of this fishing trip.
This intelligent driving system is simple and easy to understand. Under Rotom's guidance, they quickly figured it out.
After setting the target location and ship speed, Xia Chen and Xianbu walked out of the cockpit.
The weather in early March was just right, the sun was bright but not too hot. As the boat rode the wind and waves, the sea breeze blew slowly by, bringing with it bursts of cool breeze in early spring.
The sea, the blue sky, the long-winged gulls and electric petrels that swoop into the seawater from time to time to feed, the giant-winged flying fish that sometimes jumps out of the sea to glide and the iron gunfish attached to it, and the magnificent stinging jellyfish that looks like a red agate mine. ethnic group...
Xia Chen took a deep breath of the salty and humid air that only belonged to the ocean, and sighed in his heart, this is what travel is!
