Elf, I am really a farmer

After returning to the team, Zhou Zhiwen rushed to the captain's office immediately.

When Jiang Tiansheng saw Zhou Zhiwen, who was exhausted, he first asked a few questions with concern, and then couldn't wait to ask Zhou Zhiwen about the results of this action.

Zhou Zhiwen told everything that the Overlord Venusaur had said without reservation, word for word.

After saying this, he stood quietly aside, waiting for the captain's instructions.

"Okay, I understand what you said. This mission was accomplished very well. It just so happens that the deputy captain of the first squadron is about to retire. You can take over in a few days."

"I will convey this message to all personnel through the system later. Thank you for your hard work. Please go down first."

When Zhou Zhiwen heard that he was about to be promoted, his originally uneasy heart instantly settled down, and he couldn't help but think happily: I got promoted again, that's great!

Jiang Tiansheng looked at Zhou Zhiwen's departing back and fell into deep thought.

From Zhou Zhiwen's narration, he also heard the overlord Venusaur's hidden meaning, which seemed to be saying:

Whether Bulbasaur is still here or not, please don't come here again. I also have a backer, and I can't be bullied by anyone.

After thinking for a while, Jiang Tiansheng reported the matter to the Southwest Regional Alliance Headquarters and informed his superiors of his speculation.

The superior replied that it was better to leave it at that for now and not to investigate further as stability was the most important thing at the moment.

After all, if it was only the overlord of Chunhua Forest, the Alliance would not be afraid, but the threat in Changqing Forest had to be taken seriously by the Alliance.

If a major chaos really occurs, the headquarters will find it difficult to bear the consequences.

In the current situation, the best outcome is to maintain mutual understanding and live in peace.

Although there was no substantial gain from this operation, the headquarters still rewarded Jiang Tiansheng with the ability to redeem attribute fragments once.

Although this reward needs to be exchanged with points, Jiang Tiansheng still couldn't help but be happy, and his heart felt as sweet as honey.

He thought that if he exchanged it for a fragment of dragon essence later, maybe he could let his Pokémon break through to the king level.

Although the hope is slim, it can still increase some foundation. As long as the foundation is accumulated enough, your Pokémon will one day be able to make great progress and successfully break through to the king level.

However, if Jiang Tiansheng knew that his subordinate Zhou Zhiwen got one easily, he would probably be extremely jealous.

Of course, Zhou Zhiwen would keep his mouth shut about this kind of thing, and even if he told others about it, Wen Qi would never admit it.

After Zhou Zhiwen returned, he had not been in the office for long when the team's system notified him of his promotion.

As soon as the news of Zhou Zhiwen's promotion was announced in the team system, the office was in an uproar.

The team members came to Zhou Zhiwen's office happily, and everyone's face was filled with sincere smiles.

"Captain Zhou, congratulations! You totally deserve this title!"

A young team member was dancing with excitement, his eyes full of admiration.

"Yes, Captain Zhou, please take good care of us in the future!"

Another team member quickly echoed, his tone full of flattery.

Everyone was talking at once, leaving Zhou Zhiwen overwhelmed, but he was actually very happy.

The benefits after promotion are quite attractive. Salary and benefits will be greatly increased, various allowances and subsidies will increase, and there will be more resources and authority to allocate.

Not only that, the risk factor of carrying out tasks in the future will be relatively reduced, which makes Zhou Zhiwen feel that his future work and life will be more secure, as if a bright road is slowly unfolding in front of him.

And the deputy captain Zhang Yang was as excited as a child at this moment.

He kept rubbing his hands, with a smile on his face like a blooming flower, thinking secretly in his heart:

Captain Zhou got promoted, so there is a vacant position in the team. Does that mean I also have a chance to move up to the next level?

As he thought about it, he couldn't hold back his excitement, and approached Zhou Zhiwen, smiling and saying:

"Captain Zhou, with your promotion, there will be a vacancy in the team. Look at me..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Zhiwen patted him on the shoulder and said:

"Zhang Yang, work hard. Opportunities always come to those who are prepared."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yang nodded repeatedly, as if he had already seen a bright prospect of promotion, with hope shining in his eyes.

The whole office was filled with laughter. Everyone was sincerely happy for Zhou Zhiwen's promotion, and at the same time, they were full of longing and expectation for their own future.

But at this time, a team member suddenly asked:

"Captain Zhou, what will happen to the energy cube benefits in the future?"

When the team members raised the issue of the benefits of the energy blocks, the smile on Zhou Zhiwen's face froze instantly, his brows furrowed slightly, and he was caught in a dilemma.

To give or not to give? This became a difficult problem that gave him a headache.

If given, the Second Squadron has a total of one hundred people, and the existing number of energy cubes is far from enough to share.

But if he doesn't give it, he has just been promoted and the team members are looking at him with expectation. It will make him seem too stingy. If he doesn't take everyone's feelings into consideration after being promoted, his prestige in the team will probably be greatly reduced in the future.

It seemed as if there were two little people arguing fiercely inside Zhou Zhiwen's heart.

One said: "We can't give it. The quantity is limited. Even if we give it, we can't satisfy everyone. Instead, it will cause more trouble."

Another retorted: "You have to give it. You can't let the players down. This is related to your image and everyone's trust in you."

He was calculating silently in his mind, and beads of sweat gradually appeared on his forehead. Those beads of sweat were like crystal pearls, sparkling in the light.

Time passed minute by minute, and the team members' eyes were like blazing flames, all focused on him, making him feel pressured, as if a mountain was pressing on his heart.

Zhou Zhiwen took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

After much thought, he felt that he couldn't make a decision easily.

He thought of Wen Qi. Perhaps he could first sound out Wen Qi and see if the number of energy blocks could be increased.

Even if you don't make any money, it's worth it as long as you can solve the current problems and maintain good relationships with your teammates.

Zhou Zhiwen cleared his throat and said to the team members who were full of expectations:

“Don’t worry, everyone. I know everyone is concerned about the benefits of the energy cubes.

I am also thinking of a solution. Currently I plan to discuss with a senior breeder to see if I can increase the number.

I promise you that I will do my best to fight for you, even if I have to ask a senior breeder for help, to satisfy you. But this will take some time, so please be patient. "

Although the team members did not get an immediate definite answer after hearing Zhou Zhiwen's response, they temporarily calmed down after seeing his positive attitude.

However, Zhou Zhiwen was still worried. He knew that the next communication with Wen Qi was crucial.

If I fail to increase the number successfully, how can I face the expectant eyes of my teammates?

With a heart full of worry, he hurriedly left the office and walked quickly towards Wen Qi.

Along the way, he was in a state of anxiety, like a person with fifteen buckets of water drawing - up and down. He kept rehearsing the scene of communicating with Wen Qi in his mind, as if this was a battle that would determine his fate.
