As soon as the old gentleman said this, Leah touched her chin. After all, there are still some stupid orcs in Gravel City, and it feels unlikely that they will enter the ranks of side hustles. And according to the average number of people, maybe there are not many people in Gravel City who learn side jobs. Therefore, it is not difficult to be ranked and have a little ability.

"What's the matter!" the old gentleman looked at the girl's suspicious look, and suddenly became angry again: "Do you think that my ranking is in the top five, but in fact, I am not very good in Gravel City?"

Leah nodded with a straight face, she had seen all kinds of cities, and she knew how big a city was and how many people it was. It does mean that even if the old man's top five are reliable, the limitations are too small to be very strong.

If the old gentleman said that I would be in this country, or on this continent, counting all the reclusive masters in the world, I would have fought bloody battles, knocked down tens of thousands of people, and defeated thousands of people to climb up the ranks!

But for the old gentleman, he is also very difficult. After all, he can't say that he is indeed short-sighted, and the previous words don't count, right? And Leah doesn't know what level the old gentleman is, let alone what level the top five are. Therefore, it is better to choose a compromise method, let the old gentleman show his hand, and let Leah open her eyes.

After thinking about it, Leah took the initiative to speak: "Sir, in this case, we have no basis for what we say, how about a competition?

But the old gentleman did not let go at all, and waved his hand disdainfully in front of him with wrinkles and calluses: "No comparison, no comparison! What old-timer, I have said that I will not become your master! It is impossible to become your senior! Don't put gold on your face! Don't even think about taking advantage of my loopholes! I don't have a hole for you to drill! It's too late to regret it!" The idea of not planning to recruit the other party as an apprentice is deeply ingrained in his heart, and he will not give the other party any chance to refuse.

"Then I'll take out a piece and compete with you?" Leah said with a sly expression.

"Huh...... What?" the old gentleman was just about to open his mouth to taunt the other party, but suddenly felt that something was wrong. Then, he frowned and asked, "You also took out a piece of work, did you study a side hustle?"

Leah immediately shook her head and said in denial: "No, no, no, I was just an attendant at that time, and I followed others to watch. At that time, I didn't take the initiative to learn a side hustle, but just listened to a three-to-five-day course by the way. ”

"Hmph. The old gentleman looked at Leah's waitress costume and muttered, "I'll just say, how old are you?

"Sir, you can say that it is not comparable. ”

"What else do you say about comparison? What is there to compare with you little girl? You have studied side hustle for a day or two, and you really think you are a great karcist? Do you really think you are amazing? What unique talent can compare to me?" The old gentleman disagreed. While watching, he also said self-deprecatingly: "If you wait for the miserable loss, cry your nose, and bite back, blame me, an old man, why is it unsatisfactory, let you." ”

Leah couldn't help but be speechless, why did the old gentleman do so much.

At this time, Bana saw that the old gentleman's attitude had subdued, and quickly stammered and explained to the old gentleman: "Old, old sir. Don't blame her, in fact, she really hasn't learned any side hustles, how can she compare with you? Besides, it doesn't matter if your side hustle is not high, we just recognize you......"

It was fine that Barna didn't speak, but as soon as these words came out, the old gentleman suddenly lost his temper: "What is not a high rank? Do you have any vision!" The old gentleman was very angry. This ranking is a recognized ranking in Gravel City, and it is also a rather terrifying ranking! This ranking is a ranking worthy of his glory and worthy of his show-off!

Besides, the status of the side hustle and the status of a high-level warlock is even more real, and it is the identity and rank recognized by the entire side hustle! He actually doesn't say high? What do they recognize? It's really a dog's eye to look down on people!

The old gentleman who was annoyed and angry, no matter what he bullied the small, took the case on the spot: "I said this to you, I have decided this competition today!

Then he turned to Leah: "Little girl, after the competition, don't blame me for saying that my old man is ruthless and unjust, and he actually bullied you with his strength!"

Leah nodded indifferently, and watched in amazement as the old gentleman agreed, and secretly gave Barna a thumbs up. When Barna usually doesn't speak, he doesn't speak in a low voice, but when it comes to the critical moment, it's still quite reliable.

The old gentleman walked back to the kitchen table, waved his hand, and said, "Seeing that you don't know how thick the sky is, then I'll take local materials and show you the side hustle technique! Otherwise, you won't know what a third-order side warlock is! Let you know how big the gap is from what you imagined!"

Barna didn't dare to say much, so he could only stand opposite the old gentleman. Listen to him continue: "You have a freezer here, you always have fire, right? Bring me a piece of ice that is a foot long and wide high." Get me another one or two orders of fire attributes, as well as ice attribute spirit crystals. ”

Looking at Barna's twisting appearance, the old gentleman slapped the table like this: "Are you afraid that I will take advantage of you?"

However, Barna still wanted to speak, feeling that although they happened to have two crystals here, they were not items in the menu, but only to provide energy for the utensils here. Actually, it shouldn't be able to ......

With such a wooden and inflexible reaction, the old gentleman was really angry, and slapped the membership card on the table with a slap: "Oh, membership card! Mark the card number on the menu! Sign me again! Don't give me any power, if you don't have the power to deal with this matter, then I'll ask the management to supervise this competition! When the time comes, you can do it yourself!"

Barna was frightened by the old gentleman's domineering, but he still trembled and went to prepare. Crystallization is his job. If you want to find the management again because of this kind of thing at this time, and make the old gentleman even more angry, then he will turn a small thing into a big thing.

……

The old gentleman stood in front of the stage, and a plate was placed in front of him. On the plate, there was a three-dimensional transparent ice cube half an arm's length and width high, the ice cube had just been taken out, and it did not melt, but only emitted a faint white mist. On the side of the ice cube are two small crystals the size of half a fingernail with different colors and different colors, but they also emit mist. Of course, the mist they emit is not translucent white, but very pure ice blue and red. The two strands of color distort and entangle each other, but they never merge together, as if they are fighting for territory.

Leah watched the old gentleman's operation with great interest, she didn't know what the old gentleman's side hustle was, but using ice cubes and high-end crystals as materials should be a very powerful side hustle, right?

Soon, the old gentleman looked at the two people on the side and picked up the ice cube with both hands. When the ice cube sticks to the palm of your hand, it will turn into water due to the heat, and then it will be unstable because it is slippery. But the old gentleman grasped it very well with both hands, not only did not hurt the ice, but also grasped it very securely.

He slowly shrouded the ice cube over the fire crystal.

The ice cubes made a 'bang' sound. And the sound stays in the ear. The old gentleman's movements suddenly became faster. The ice cube is lifted as if the dice were shrouded in guessing. The action is to flip up and down, rotate left and right, and under this move, the fiery red crystal beads roll into the inside of the ice cube, and begin to glow red inside, and melt the ice inside.

Then the old gentleman began to flip his hands, so that the beads were under his control, rolling and bouncing rapidly. It began to slide inside the ice, as if to carve out a passage of its own.

The two sides rub each other, which is not ordinary. The fire attribute crystal carries a hot, scorching temperature! Touching this cold ice cube stimulates its driving force! The dark red pillar, which was originally dull and colorless, began to become more and more ruddy and hot like marbles under the manipulation of the old man! Its speed became faster and faster, constantly cutting out curved arcs! And those steam spewed out from the only entrance! The entrainment naturally had its own faint red mist.

The old gentleman's dazzling operation can be said to be done in one go, without any stagnation! And the fire bead did not rush out of the narrow ice cube because of its speed, but it was constantly overlapping alternately, cutting out countless channels and shapes in the ice cube.

Inside the ice cube, the white mist also accumulated, as if to turn the entire transparent ice cube into milky white, and finally, only a red bright spot could be seen jumping inside.

Leah didn't know what the old gentleman was doing, but she thought it was amazing!

I don't know if it was an accident, or if the ice has reached its limit.

"Bang!" a crisp sound sounded. The shell of the ice cube shattered in an instant! I don't know if it was because the fire beads that were rushing frantically inside just now shattered the ice shell, or because there was too much mist accumulated inside, completely shattering the already weak ice layer.

Layers of white mist cover an entire area, preventing people from seeing the interior.

In the misty mist, the old gentleman put a remnant of its unrestored appearance back on the plate. Although this object has a strange shape, it is really not beautiful at all, about the size of three fingers, and the form is a bare, accidentally broken ice cube stick. There were wisps of white mist on its body, as if it would melt after a while, and it couldn't even stand and fell into the plate, falling apart.

The old gentleman seemed indifferent to the failure of his process. Then, he picked up the fire-based crystal that had bounced onto the plate, gently blew away the fiery red mist on it, and placed it in the corner of the plate.

Of course, his work was not finished, and he picked up the ice-blue crystal on the side, passed through the layers of white mist, and placed it in a place on the popsicle.

The sound of fine ice condensation sounded in my ears. The popsicle suddenly steamed up again and again.

Under the gaze of some curiosity, the mist slowly dissipated. On the plate, instead of a pile of broken ice cubes as they thought, it was an ice sculpture!

A lifelike ice sculpture of a bird!
