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

"Brother, hurry up and get up. Today is the opening ceremony of the gym exchange competition. You gym leaders must be present."

Li Ran just felt a buzzing in his ears and there was a heavy object pressing on him. He opened his eyes in a daze and saw the little round face that was becoming more and more delicate.

"I've told you several times! Just tell me to get up, why do you have to press on me?"

Li Ran's consciousness gradually became clear. That heavy object was Yanyan. He didn't know what was wrong with this girl. Every time she came to wake him up, she would either stand on his back or press directly on him. Due to her recent improved nutrition, her weight had increased a lot, and she could make him breathless.

"I called you, but you haven't woken up in more than 20 minutes!"

Yanyan stood up, put her hands on her hips and looked righteous. Li Ran felt a headache starting early in the morning.

"Alright, alright, hurry down."

Li Ran scratched his head in distress. When would the cycle of revenge end? He was usually the one who made Yanyan get up and go to school, and today he had paid him back for it all.

"Wait... Yanyan, tell me what's going on."

Suddenly Li Ran noticed a hint of light on the quilt next to him. He got closer and smelled the rich aroma of pork fat.

"I just finished breakfast and came to wake you up in a hurry, so I wiped my mouth..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yanyan ran out.

"Get back here! Isn't there any paper on the table? You actually used my blanket to wipe your mouth! Stop right there, you are so disrespectful!"

Li Ran suddenly felt his eyelids twitching rapidly. This little girl was becoming more and more unruly. The two of them were chasing each other in the living room.

Li Ran didn't stop until he felt hungry. He looked at the two trays of steamed buns on the table, which were prepared by his aunt.

"You must write me a 2000-word self-criticism by tomorrow."

Li Ran said while eating a bun, looking at Yanyan who was making a face.

When the little girl heard that she had to write a self-criticism, her face fell and she looked a little aggrieved, but when she saw Li Ran pretending not to see it and being indifferent, she had no choice but to nod.

"We're out!"

Li Ran and Yanyan spoke at the same time. Auntie stood at the door and watched them until they were out of sight before running to clean up the dishes.

......

Blue Crystal Battlefield.

This is the venue for this gym exchange competition.

The entire venue is just as its name suggests, it looks like a huge blue crystal. Its unique design allows people to find it in the huge city at a glance.

"Wow, this Feng Ke stole my idea."

Li Ran looked at the two neat rows of stalls and the wafting aroma of spices and said, holding two boxes of stinky tofu in his hands, he was unconvincing.

"Brother, hurry up, they've all gone in, stop eating!"

Hearing Yanyan's voice, Li Ran hurried over, still chewing something in his mouth.

"Please show me your tickets."

The security guy at the door was very burly and gave people a sense of security. Everyone at the door lined up in an orderly manner.

"I don't have a ticket, this is my ID, this is my sister."

Li Ran handed over the illustrated book, on which was clearly written the name of the Master of Yuetian Gym.

"You take that passage over there."

The security guard took it and took a closer look at it, then nodded and pointed in a different direction from everyone else.

"Thank you, bro!"

Li Ran took Yanyan and hurriedly said thank you and walked over. They did not arrive at the lounge, but a relatively spacious hall.

"These seem to be all gym leaders. There are so many of them..."

Li Ran only saw a few familiar faces. He didn't expect that there were more than a hundred people in total. It seemed that Feng Ke had gathered all the third-rate gym owners from all over the world here.

"Is this going to be some big move?"

A familiar voice sounded, and Li Ran hurriedly pulled Yanyan over and introduced her.

"Yan Yan, this is the owner of the Lingshui Gym, Li Shaoli."

Yanyan took a look and called out sweetly: "Hello, Sister Li~"

Li Shaoli is the only gym owner who is from the same region and of similar age as Li Ran. Li Ran met her at a previous exchange meeting.

"I also feel that Feng is up to no good."

Seeing so many gym leaders with different faces, Li Ran completely agreed with what Li Shaoli had just said.

"I heard you saying bad things about me when I got here."

Feng Ke slapped Li Ran on the back of the head with a dark face. The latter had to shrink his neck in disappointment. Li Shaoli greeted him in a friendly manner.

"But you guessed it right. I gathered them all here this time because I had a selfish motive."

Feng Ke looked ahead silently and continued.

"As you know, trainers from other regions have always looked down on us, so this time I want you to show off the strength of our Yanhuang region."

"Do you understand?"

After saying that, he looked at Li Ran deeply, which made Li Ran feel uncomfortable all over.

"Of course we have to go all out!"

Hearing Li Ran's firm answer, Feng Ke couldn't believe it. Are you really Li Ran?

Only Li Ran shed tears silently in his heart. Do I need you to tell me this? The system has already set a goal for me...there is nothing I can do about it.

"Did you guys hear that too?"

Feng Ke suddenly became stern, and the three men then realized that there were five men following Feng Ke, all of them had bitter faces as if they had experienced a big battle.

"Um......"

The five of them answered in unison that these days, all of them, the veteran gym masters, had been taken by Feng Ke to undergo devilish training and were tortured by Feng Ke every day.

But they could only try their best, because Feng Ke said that if any of them failed to make it into the top 30, they would be directly eliminated from the position of hall owner.

The identity of gym owner actually means nothing to them, but the resources they can share are what they don’t want to lose. Once these resources are gone, it will be impossible for them to become lord-level trainers.

To become a lord-level trainer, one does not just need to have lord-level Pokémon. Instead, one must go through the same tests as elite-level trainers, which means defeating the examiner.

"If you two make it to the top five, I can make an exception and take you to the Elf Hall to receive the Elf Egg of the Master Level Bloodline."

As soon as these words were spoken, the other five people's eyes were filled with envy, but they knew that it was unlikely for them.

There have been similar events like gym exchange competitions in the past, and they are also familiar with the strength of trainers from other regions.

The strength of those few among them… The five of them fixed their eyes on the seven young men and women, all of whom were the best in the third-rate gyms, and they all prayed that they would not meet them soon.
