I just want to give the elves a home. What's wrong with that?

"Hey... President, why are you here?"

Li Ran naturally took out a few skewers of barbecue in his hand, then handed them to Ji Yu and asked worriedly.

"I hope the snacks you asked me to bring didn't cause any trouble for you, Ditto?"

Ji Yan was stunned for a moment and then immediately reacted, looking at Li Ran in disbelief.

Why didn't I think of this reason? This dog shop owner is really good at passing the buck!

"So you all knew about this?"

Feng Ke looked at the two sisters and asked. Ji Yan was eager to report Li Ran, but when she saw Li Ran's playful eyes, she was suddenly speechless.

This dog shop owner will definitely settle the score later!

Then the two sisters nodded helplessly, and Feng Ke didn't pursue the matter any further. He waved his hand and asked the two to leave.

"Don't think I don't know you're just being lazy. It's obvious that this isn't the first time Ditto has transformed."

After Feng Ke said this, Li Ran smiled awkwardly, and then invited him into the office again. Ditto was not in the office at the moment, and the battle had started again, so it went to the battlefield.

The two of them couldn't help but look at the screen, and Li Ran interrupted him directly.

"President Feng, is there something important that you came to me for?"

Feng Ke looked at the wonderful performance of Mushroom on the screen, drank a sip of water with satisfaction, and then put the cup on the table.

"I do have something to talk to you about. I've noticed that the average strength of the gyms is too weak recently, and the pass rate is ridiculously high."

Speaking of this, Feng Ke's face turned a little bad. He went to other gyms a few days ago and was just drawing a salary for nothing.

Basically, anyone who comes to challenge can pass. If this continues, how can outstanding trainers be discovered?

"So I plan to lay off some of the gym leaders."

Li Ran's eyes lit up instantly, and he pointed at himself vigorously.

"President Feng, I feel that my position as the owner of the museum is not justified. How about firing me?"

Feng Ke ignored him and simply picked up the water cup and took a sip. He looked at the screen and saw the trainer who was beaten to the point of doubting his life. He then reminded him with his eyes.

Do you think you are not good enough as a museum owner?

"I understand. You think a third-rate gym is not worthy of you. That's right. You already have a lord-level Pokémon."

"Then let's keep it as it is!"

Li Ran refused without thinking. What a joke! The battle now is relatively simple and Ditto can do it for him. If it becomes a lord-level battle, how exhausted will he be?

"It's good to know."

Feng Ke rolled his eyes with disdain. He had no idea what Li Ran was thinking. He was obviously one of the best among the new generation of trainers, but this guy didn't seem to want to improve at all.

"So, President Feng, you came here today just to tell me this?"

Li Ran doesn't think that it would be his turn to make the decision on matters like dismissal of the museum owner.

"I plan to hold a gym exchange competition and gather all the third-rate gyms in our area. This will be a good opportunity to see if there are any trainers like you who are strong but like to hang out in third-rate gyms."

"Of course, those who are too weak will be laid off."

After saying this, Feng Ke saw that Li Ran looked a little thoughtful, and quickly added another sentence.

"I will upload your Swampert directly as public information, and I will also tell other gym owners about it."

Li Ran's face instantly fell. Feng Ke was obviously forcing the issue by deliberately putting his Swampert on the stage to let all the gym owners know that he has a lord-level monster, right? You have a very bad conscience!

In this way, I won't be able to lose the game easily. If I lose on purpose, others will think I'm looking down on others and deliberately not sending out lord-level elves.

However, Li Ran still agreed with Feng Ke's approach. There was no problem with Swampert being made public. After all, the research institute could get its unevolved form.

If it was the Desert Dragonfly that was revealed, Li Ran would probably be scolded by not only the gym owners but also the other trainers. After all, this was a gym exchange competition, and his was a third-rate gym with four or five lord-level ones. Anyone would think this was a gym of hell difficulty.

"So President Feng is here to remind me to participate in the gym exchange competition today?"

Li Ran also relaxed a lot. Fortunately, Feng Ke didn't come to check on him on purpose. It seemed that his slacking off was over.

"If I don't tell you, will you sign up yourself..."

Feng Ke's slightly resentful words made Li Ran shrink his neck. If it was a voluntary registration, how could he sign up with his personality?

"Okay, it's time for me to go."

Seeing Feng Ke standing up, Li Ran quickly stood up to see him off. However, Feng Ke's words made him feel uncomfortable for a while.

"By the way, although there's nothing wrong with Ditto standing there for you, but since I'm here today, we still have to be fair and impartial. Is it okay to deduct three months' salary from you?"

“No… no problem!”

Seeing Li Ran gritting his teeth, Feng Ke suddenly felt much happier for some reason.

"Master, what are you doing?"

When Ji Yu saw Feng Ke leave, Li then planned to follow him, and subconsciously felt that this was not a good behavior.

"My salary has been deducted for three months anyway, so why should I stay? If you ask me, I'll just say I'm preparing for the gym exchange competition and going out to train Pokémon."

Li Ran waved his hand as if he suddenly thought of something, turned around and took the bag of barbecue back from Ji Yan. Because of Feng Ke, they didn't dare to eat just now.

"No, didn't you say you bought it for us?"

Ji Yan finally managed to get Feng Ke away, but ended up having her barbecue snatched away. She instantly became furious and said angrily with her hands on her hips.

"You clearly knew it was an excuse to get rid of President Feng, and when did you ask me to bring the barbecue?"

Li Ran bit off a piece of meat nonchalantly, and then completely ignored Ji Yan's murderous look.

“It tastes a bit bad when it’s cold…”

Seeing Li Ran walking further and further away, Ji Yan gnashed with hatred and stomped her feet on the ground.

"This dog owner, if I help you with the teamwork again next time, my whole family will be dogs!"

Ji Yu looked at his sister calmly, then sighed helplessly. With his sister's IQ, how could she beat Li Ran? She would definitely be caught slacking off by Li Ran one day. Then he patted her on the shoulder and said.

"Sister... we agreed that we can quarrel but don't swear to send me in. When do you think we can be free to sever our kinship?"

Ji Yan's face was full of question marks. Is this what a real sister should say?
