The experience of returning to Green Ridge City again made Link's mood not so good, the owner of the Green Ridge Pavilion can really be regarded as his teacher, but he has always had no real kindness to Link - this also shows that the old man has a good relationship with Zhulan's grandmother, after all, he still looks at Zhulan's face and gives valuable guidance to Link's superpower cultivation.

Well, coupled with the natural liking for Maple and Nan, if Cong Tree really fails to save the world in the future, and Link takes over the mess of Gulathon, Sea Emperor Tooth and Burning Sky Seat, Green Ridge can still pull a hand.

After all, no matter what, Sherabi is looking for it after all, and all the gains from the trip to the city are tied to this legendary elf......

"You can see that you didn't enjoy this badge. Zhulan didn't say much when she saw Link coming out of the gym.

"In fact, it was only a pleasure for me to take the badge from the young owner. I just don't know, why don't every older gym owner I meet, and further, the older generation of trainers, don't treat me very well?"

“...... I don't think there's anything wrong with this conclusion, but I'm curious. Hearing Link's complaints, Zhulan frowned and thought for a while.

"Actually, every time I go with you to meet the senior trainers, I have a vague worry about whether people won't like you - but I don't think about myself at all. When you bring it up now, I don't think there's anything wrong with the reaction, but I can't clearly describe what your problem is. ”

"So the problem does come to me?" Link was a little surprised.

"That's right. ”

And the reason? Link couldn't understand this conclusion at all, could it be that he had a "please hate me" face?

"I could list a lot of your little faults, but they are really just minor faults, and they shouldn't be a reason for you to be hated at all. Zhulan said directly, frowning and thinking.

"There's something wrong with your thinking patterns and behavior patterns!" she snapped up with certainty.

"Huh?"

"In fact, it's okay to know people you know, these people are usually the same age, they respect others enough, and some discomfort in communication with you is quickly acceptable, after all, morally, or in principle, your core personality is not too problematic, your personality is not aggressive for most people, and it is easier to make friends of the same age. But this is not the case from a third-party perspective. At this time, Zhulan's tone was already very affirmative.

Link wasn't stupid, and when it came to Zhulan's words, Link quickly understood the problem.

"The mindset is that I rarely look at my actions from the perspective of a bystander. I may sometimes care about other people's opinions, but that's all, I will correct them, but whether I speculate on other people's opinions or make corrections because of them, I do so from my own point of view, not from an objective point of view. Link struggled to organize the language, but he still couldn't articulate his thoughts clearly.

But fortunately, Zhulan knew him well enough to understand what he wanted to express.

"Yes, elders usually look at you from a top-down perspective, which is more objective and comprehensive, but they are far less emotional than their peers. ”

"The pattern of behavior is that my inherent pattern of behavior, whether it is dealing with problems or manners, does not conform to the conventions. When he said this, Link's eyes were a little hollow.

"It's not your fault, you can't decide that, and I don't care - but if you want to change, I can help you. Zhulan realized that she must not blame Link, she must mark her attitude.

Link understood what she meant, and instantly thought of her misunderstanding.

For all his peers - not at the age of twelve, but at his real age, Link is very sure of his position, combining all the elements, taking an overall score, he thinks he can reach the upper middle level, further, the top fifth or even the top tenth is also possible, which is the ranking among all his peers. But that's all, geniuses are one in ten thousand, such as Zhulan, and those who can be called talented are at least one in a hundred.

So Link is only slightly stronger than the average mortal.

To sum it up simply, of all Link's "attributes", his comprehension and analytical skills are good enough, and his morals and principles are not lower than average, but there are two other key elements -

Emotional intelligence, and execution, is very poor. The latter is okay, execution is something that will be forcibly improved by environment and pressure, Link was originally very lazy, but the current situation forces him to squeeze himself.

But emotional intelligence, and the details of dealing with things, is difficult. Emotional intelligence can even be said to be a person's soul in a sense, improving emotional intelligence is equivalent to changing the soul, your entire thinking pattern to be remade, this process must have enough motivation and perseverance, as well as enough ...... External resources.

"You don't have to change yourself—"

"I don't want to change myself!"

Link and Zhulan's words blurted out at the same time.

"Yes, that's it!" Zhulan smiled

Link can't change himself, Zhulan thinks so, the current Link is just right except that he is sometimes more stubborn, if he forcibly becomes the most suitable for survival, Link will not be Link - even if he wants to change, it will have to be after he becomes a champion, pretending to change, after all, Zhulan believes that what she cares about is "Link", not anyone else.

"The badge of the Caulan Gym will not be easy to hold, the giant swamp monster can't solve all problems, just like in the original Zi Jin, the water spirit will always be the most important imaginary enemy of the fire hall owner. Link ended the conversation and moved on to the next issue of badges.

"I can't give you any advice on this matter, you're not so weak as I was at the beginning. You'll figure it out. Zhulan teased Link with something that looked like encouragement, but was actually showing off.

"Please don't use such a stupid method to stimulate my fighting spirit, it's just a problem of the level of the difficult gym battle, compared to the situation I often face, the means to solve it are much richer, but it is indeed a little difficult to achieve it in the form of a 'head-on breakthrough'. Lin Ke held his chin, used conditioned reflexes and subconscious thinking, organized language to reply to Zhulan, and the subjective consciousness began to conceive coping strategies.

The hot environment of the Cayando Pavilion is really a headache, and Link has to make himself serious.
