There are no lights, no microphones, and no flowery rhetoric.

Liu Changyan sat at the dinner table, with some emotion, and spoke a little blandly. As he spoke, Du Ming gradually understood the whole story.

In fact, it is a very simple story, which revolves around Liu Changyan's dream of running a Wuzhou Taoist Hall.

Ten years ago, there were actually two Taoist halls in Wuzhou, and the current Wuzhou Taoist Pavilion was often suppressed and excluded at that time, and it was almost impossible to operate. Every time the league's performance appraisal can only barely reach the passing line, it is on the verge of being abolished.

Liu Changyan's father, the ability to serve as the master of the gym was not outstanding. Just to keep the gym from being abolished, we have done our best.

In such an environment, Liu Changyan always felt that he had to do something for the gym. This kind of thinking accompanied Liu Changyan throughout his youth.

Later, Liu Changyan became a trainer, and during his travels, he subdued the ghosts.

This ghost has a big personality problem. Doesn't participate in training, doesn't respect trainers, and has a poor relationship with peers. Liu Changyan used his time like this, managing his relationship with ghosts little by little.

Later, the ghost evolved into the ghost stone, and Liu Changyan finally inherited the dojo.

The gym that was originally an opponent was abandoned because the owner was going to participate in the Huaguo Competition.

He felt sarcastic and unwilling, and could only focus on the work of the hall master.

However, no one came.

Even if there is a challenger, if they lose the challenge, they will basically go directly to the next city, and rarely continue to challenge. If this continues, he is not even as good as his father.

Liu Changyan finally made up his mind to reform the gym. Featuring flames, after three years of preparation, the Wuzhou Gym finally became a real Fire Gym, and it was recognized by the Alliance.

The characteristics of the flames and the scorching atmosphere attract many challengers to take on the challenge, and many tourists come to visit every day to watch the battle in the gym by the way.

Liu Changyan's efforts have borne fruit. Even though dozens of battles are fought every day, Liu Changyan is willing.

However, the good times were short-lived, and Ghost Stone spoiled these. All the spectators were scared away by Ghost Stone that day, and there was even a small stampede. Ghost Stone was eventually defeated by the challenger's elves, and things couldn't be concealed at all.

Liu Changyan couldn't cover it up, and the final result was that Ghost Stone was expelled. He hoped that Ghost Stone would repent of what he had done, and wait for the limelight to pass before looking for him back, as long as he evolved into a Geng ghost, no one should be able to recognize him.

The locator he installed on Ghost Stone was ripped off and thrown away by Ghost Stone. Later, Ghost Stone was never found again.

……

The story ends, and there is no ending.

From Liu Changyan's words, Du Ming came to a conclusion.

It is not easy to run a gym.

"The task of rewarding the elf eggs of the divine beast in the system is not easy to complete." Du Ming said secretly.

The alliance has particularly strict requirements for newly established gyms. If there is no special achievement within a certain period of time, it is impossible to successfully pass the performance appraisal.

Although it is possible to deliver contribution points, it gives the gym a chance to participate in the next performance appraisal. However, the system task will fail. If people's hearts are not aligned, it may also cause tragedy like Liu Changyan.

What is the choice for the future?

If it's just such a simple "choice", how can the system give such a rich reward to the Divine Beast Elf Egg.

Divine beasts, those creatures that stand at the top of this world.

Back to the topic, Liu Changyan's story is not much different from Du Ming's guess.

Because Liu Changyan's abandonment of Ghost Stone was out of helplessness, Su Hao and Zhen Xinchi had no reason to dislike him.

"Sorry, I didn't figure it out." Su Hao apologized seriously, showing a bit of true temperament.

"Me too."

Shin Shin Chi couldn't help but sigh. If he stands in Liu Changyan's position, it is estimated that he will have to make the same choice. Many problems cannot be solved by blood alone; Many times, it is necessary to bow to reality.

Fortunately, the reality is very kind and partial to him, and he doesn't need to bow his head so far.

"It's fine."

Liu Changyan waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "It was you who provided the news of Ghost Stone, which saved me a lot of effort." That guy has a straightforward personality, and he must still hate me. After all, I didn't make it clear at the time. I'm afraid he'll come back quietly and make things worse......"

"Ghost Stone, it's in the gym right now." Du Ming said suddenly.

"What?"

Liu Changyan was a little out of shape.

"Yesterday Ghost Stone took our hitchhiker back to Wuzhou, and today I saw him in the gym."

Du Ming explained.

"Are you sure?"

Liu Changyan stood up openly, and without waiting for Du Ming's answer, he ran straight towards the gym park. Zhen Xinchi and Su Hao looked at each other and decided to help.

Du Ming followed, thoughtful.

For Liu Changyan, Ghost Stone is not strong in combat, and he is not worthy of his status as a 5-star trainer and gym master. What Liu Changyan cares about is probably not Ghost Stone's strength, but feelings.

After all, they have been together day and night for so many years.

After all, Liu Changyan is a senior trainer, and he knows that Ghost Stone is in the gym, so of course he can find the exact location of Ghost Stone.

The elves he possesses are not ornaments.

"Boom"

Liu Changyan tried to use the Poké Ball to retrieve Ghost Stone, but was unsuccessful. At this moment, Ghost Stone also has nowhere to escape, and is forced to engage in elven battles.

When the Flame Monkey comes on the field, the flames burst out, and it's a completely different way of fighting.

The speed is shown to the extreme, like light and shadow.

Poor Ghost Stone, who was defeated by Kirby Beast in the ancient mansion, was now pressed and beaten by the Flame Monkey, and was now extremely weak and about to fall.

"Come back, Flame Monkey."

At this time, Liu Changyan suddenly put away the flame monkey and slowly walked towards Ghost Stone.

……

"The host completes the quest [Forsaken Ghost Stone] and rewards the Water Repellent Bead x1 and the Super Energy Gem x1!"

It turns out that as long as trainers and elves understand each other, there is no barrier that cannot be dissolved. After Liu Changyan explained things clearly, Ghost Stone could only accept it, and he was faintly calm.

Geng: Lv48

Carrying out communication evolution in a special instrument, Ghost Stone will become a Geng ghost, and the increase in strength is not a half-star.

Geng and Ghost Stone are very different in form, and they are difficult to recognize. Although Liu Changyan will continue to bear pressure and doubts, that pressure is nothing to him.

After evolving, Geng Ghost's personality seemed to change slightly, rubbing Du Ming's hand to express his gratitude.

Putting away the Geng ghost, Liu Changyan pulled Du Ming to the side and put a black stone in Du Ming's hand.

"If it weren't for your help, Ghost Stone...... There's no way Geng will come back to me. This genetic stone is my thank you, please accept it. ”

Genetic Stone (Green): A magical stone that contains genetic powers, and can directly use skills that can awaken a bloodline of elves. It can be used 3 times when used with related instruments.

Liu Changyan's gift was just what Du Ming needed. He thought about it for a while, and finally accepted it.
