Kurosawa got up early.

His mother, Ms. Tao, originally heard that before he left for Changchuan City, he was restless in asking someone out in the morning, and initially complained that he was not home.

But after asking carefully, she found out that the person was a girl. After searching on her mobile phone, she found out that she was a well-known and beautiful elf master, and she instantly changed her attitude.

It's only seven in the morning.

Ms. Tao was afraid that Kurosawa would not get up and miss the time, so she woke Kurosawa from bed an hour early.

Kurosawa rubbed his sleepy eyes and yawned.

I read a book late last night, and recalled the knowledge about refining medicine and food preparation in my mind. It lasted until late at night, and then I fell asleep.

Seeing his mother busy in the kitchen humming a tune, Kurosawa felt helpless.

He has explained many times that when you go out, you just do business and don't think too much.

But her mother seemed to have her own stubborn ideas. As someone who had experienced this, she thought Kurosawa was being shy.

"I am leaving."

After finishing breakfast in a hurry, Kurosawa felt uncomfortable being stared at by his mother's half-smiling eyes, so he rushed out of the door in three steps at a time.

Behind him, Ms. Tao was waving to him with a wink.

"Son, have fun. You can eat lunch outside with the girl. Don't be reluctant to spend money. Your dad and I went to the store. There is no food for lunch at home today."

No food to eat.

No food

without.

Mom, do you remember that today is my last day at home?

"."

Hearing the ruthless "thunk" of the door closing behind him, Kurosawa was silent for a long time.

Walking on the street, the morning breeze is cold and desolate.

Kurosawa arrived at the agreed place at the appointed time and found a slim figure standing by the street lamp on the cold street, holding a mobile phone in both hands, as if hesitating to send a message.

She has a hat on her head and a mask on her face, but her delicate facial features can be vaguely seen from the exposed eyebrows and eyes.

Even though Kurosawa hadn't met her often, he recognized each other immediately.

"Morning, sorry. Late."

Kurosawa quickly approached and spoke.

He was stuck at the agreed time of 8:00 sharp, but he didn't expect that the other party seemed to arrive much earlier.

"No, I just arrived too."

The relationship between the two is not that close. Although they had a lot of divergent chats on WeChat last night about topics related to medicine refining and food production, their offline relationship has returned to its original shape and has become awkward again.

"I bought breakfast on the way as a thank you gift for asking you today."

Kurosawa also noticed the cold atmosphere and quickly handed over the delicate paper bag in his hand. He bought the pastries on the way here.

"——Thank you, let's go in, the first store is on the corner."

The street is very long and the shops are located deep inside, so walking takes some time.

The two chatted incessantly.

"I have something to ask. Are you leaving this afternoon?"

"Let's meet at four o'clock. We'll have to rush to the meeting place at about three o'clock."

"Understood. I couldn't take you to see the store because it opened in the afternoon." Cen Biyao took a bite of the melon bun and nodded. “It’s really a rush schedule”

"Speaking of which, I originally planned to go to Changchuan to watch the game offline this summer, but because I have to go to Lucheng to participate in the special move test in a few days, there is a time conflict and I can't go. It's a pity."

Cen Biyao walked in front silently and suddenly spoke.

"Special recruitment test? From the university?" Kurosawa became somewhat interested when he heard this.

He usually doesn't pay much attention to this.

All I know is that for some elf masters whose talents are above the standard, the university will open special recruitment places.

In fact, even Kurosawa now should be able to get a good college admission letter if he consults with someone.

However, the special move still needs to be tested, but he doesn't know.

Cen Biyao's face showed a little embarrassment.

"Because I want to go to the school team in Lucheng, and the recommendation level of our Haitang Academy does not meet the standard for exemption, so I have to take the offline test route. I applied for a pharmacy-related one, and I don't know if I can Can’t pass.”

She flipped up her hair, a look of worry on her face.

"It must be possible." Kurosawa encouraged.

Lucheng belongs to the backbone six-school alliance echelon under the top universities in the three major cities.

It is not difficult for a slightly talented elf master to apply for a team at an ordinary university, but if the target is an excellent university, the difficulty will rise sharply.

The two came to the front of the store, and the middle-aged store owner had just opened the rolling shutter door.

The store is well organized.

The shop owner was also an elf and pharmacist in the past. The old god sat in front of the counter and allowed the two of them to play with the devices in the shop in the trial area.

Throughout the morning, Kurosawa, led by Cen Biyao, visited many stores and basically bought all the basic props for making elf food.

Some are franchise stores of regular brands, while others focus on parts processing, maintenance, medicinal material channel agents, etc.

I spent a lot of time trying out the equipment.

Kurosawa obtained the alchemy skills engraved in his mind by receiving the memories of those illusory years of study and practice, but there was also a little trouble.

Since he has unlimited consumables in the virtual space, the instruments and equipment will not be damaged. He has developed a relatively fixed operating feel that is difficult to adjust, so he must choose instruments with similar performance and operating accuracy to those in the dream memory.

At noon, Kurosawa and Cen Biyao found a chain grilled fish restaurant outside to finish their lunch. The Linbo fish without fine bones was grilled to a crispy texture, and the plate was beautifully arranged.

In the afternoon, we continued to visit stores.

At 3:00 in the afternoon, the two separated in front of a special medicinal materials agency.

Kurosawa is going to the meeting place of the representative team, while Cen Biyao is going back home to practice the test questions for the offline test. and exam preparation.

She had been preparing for this for several months. In theory, there was no big problem, but she still couldn't help but feel nervous.

Watching the other person's figure disappear from sight, Kurosawa also deeply felt that everyone has their own troubles.

People like Cen Biyao are already among the best representatives in their academy at the same time, but looking at Haitang, her achievements are not impressive. In the best case scenario, she will not be promoted to the professional level until the next year, and Haitang In the national environment, it is just an inconspicuous small place. If she wants to join the elf college team of a first-tier university, she can only rely on her "specialties", otherwise she will not be very competitive among the many geniuses across the country. .

After all, although the colleges and universities in the six major backbone alliances are inferior to the three top universities, they are already outstanding compared to other ordinary universities, and the number of enrollment places in the Elf Academy is also very small.

Return home and pack your luggage.

At 4:00 p.m. sharp, Kurosawa arrived in front of the high-speed rail station on time and met everyone.

Gong Lihua was also among the crowd.

This time the Haitang team took the high-speed train to Changchuan City, the provincial capital.

There are more than 20 people on this team, including 12 players, plus the team leader, team doctor, temporary coach, analysts and other staff. The Haitang Alliance specially booked two business class classes.

After arriving in Nagakawa, transfer to the bus and head to the Athletes Village.

Everyone entered the station along the special ticket check-in channel. The seats were arranged in two rows, and the members of the representative team spread out and took their seats.

Zeng Shi sat down with Kurosawa and fixed the handheld device on the countertop. When he was about to give out a controller and teach Kurosawa how to play in the kitchen, he suddenly felt a gaze that seemed to be real from a distance.

He looked up and found that the alliance minister sitting in the front row was turning his head to stare at this place. He looked at it for two seconds and then suddenly withdrew his gaze.

He suddenly felt like a light on his back, and a trace of cold sweat broke out from his forehead. He didn't think that the other person was paying attention to him.

Obviously there was no expression on the minister's face, but Zeng Shi felt extremely stressed, as if he was being targeted by some powerful beast.

He recalled the minister's look in his mind just now, and he suddenly understood.

Is he warning himself not to bring Kurosawa into trouble?

Thinking of this, he hurriedly put away the handheld device, not forgetting to "grab" the handle from Kurosawa's hand.

"I suddenly remembered that yesterday I had an appointment with Brother Bai to play games. Zeshen, I'm sorry."

Kurosawa scratched his head, stood up from his seat and walked forward while he was half pushing and half shrugging.

Sit down in the empty seat next to Gong Lihua.

"Why don't you sit with your friends? I see you are getting ready to play games? Are you having a conflict?" Gong Lihua turned to look at him and asked strangely.

She just saw someone pulling Kurosawa to play games, and she was still feeling pleased that Kurosawa had taken her words to heart, make more friends, train more relaxedly, and exercise more.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, Kurosawa was kicked out.

"I don't know." Kurosawa was also confused.

But it wasn't a big deal, so he turned around and forgot about it.

The high-speed train runs all the way.

As night fell, we finally arrived in Changchuan City, the provincial capital.

After leaving the high-speed rail station, we were surrounded by brightly lit high-rise buildings.

In the distance, a huge river passes through the city. On the river, three or two ferries slowly pass by with their flutes honking. Below the water, huge shadows swim.

This was Kurosawa's first time in the provincial capital, and he couldn't help but take a second look when he walked out of the platform.

It was a bit late, so everyone didn't bother much outside, and quickly transferred to the bus and drove in the direction of the contestant village.

After passing the checkpoint, everyone finally arrived at their temporary residence in Changchuan City.

At this time, it was not just the chartered cars of the Haitang representative team that arrived at the athletes' village. Several buses had just parked in the parking lot not long ago.

One group of people wore uniform cyan uniforms, and another group of people wore purple uniforms. Each team had about forty or fifty people.

They lined up next to the car and chanted loud and neat slogans. The sound spread in the empty parking lot. There was also a special photography team shooting aside. This was in sharp contrast to the Haitang people who dispersed as soon as they got off the car.

"It seems very impressive."

Kurosawa yawned and asked in a low voice to Ji Qingwen, who was stretching in the open space.

"Ji Ge, do we have uniforms?"

"Of course there is. Didn't I ask you to submit your sizes in the group chat before?" Ji Qingwen shrugged his shoulders and glanced at the team in the distance without taking it seriously. "Don't be fooled by them. They are the representative teams of Baiyun and Yongli. They bring their families with them every year. They are such a large group of people. They look majestic, but in fact they are at the bottom of the echelon in terms of total points every year. Chun Chun Come to make up the numbers.”

"oh."

When he said this, Kurosawa knew what was going on.

Hanquan Province has 53 municipal districts under its jurisdiction. The most competitive ones are undoubtedly the provincial capital Changchuan and the other three second-tier cities.

But third-tier towns like Haitang are not the weakest. There are also many county-level cities, such as Yongli City and Baiyun City. They are the bottom team in the provincial competition.

Although perhaps for Changchuan and the three second-tier teams, the difference between ordinary third-tier teams like Haitang and county-level cities is not big, but for the Haitang team, they can't look down on the county-level city teams.

It's probably the so-called contempt chain.

The provincial capital city team looks down on the three second-tier city teams, the second-tier city teams look down on the third-tier teams, and the third-tier teams secretly look down on the county teams.

As for the county teams, they basically have no pressure to come to the provincial competition, just as a public-funded tour.

The "fathers and villagers" in their hometown didn't expect much from them, and objectively it was impossible to beat other city teams. What can they do? Simply start the game, just complete the "propaganda task" assigned by the superiors, and the results are up to fate, no matter how bad it is.

Just after the video was shot, the originally neatly arrayed teams were instantly scattered, and they scattered in the players' village in twos and threes.

Kurosawa stared at the scattered teams in the east, and remained silent for a long time.

He did think they were a second-tier city team or a strong third-tier team at first, but now it seems that he really thought too much.

"Don't pay special attention to them, and don't underestimate other team players because of them. Our real opponents are other third-tier, second-tier and provincial capital teams."

Kurosawa stared at his bright eyes in the night and scratched his cheek.

He didn't think too much about his goal for this provincial competition.

After all, it was the first year of participating in the competition, and getting a competition reward would be a great success.

Try to go further. As for asking him to lead the Haitang team to break through the team history, it is not realistic at all. His current strength level is not at that level for the time being.

However, Kurosawa is not sure where he can go.

First, he doesn't know what the competition will be like after the rules are changed. Second, no matter what the rules are, there is always a strong element of luck in the competition.

Kurosawa still hopes to stay on the stage of the provincial competition as long as possible. He is really short of coupons now.

I want to buy an affinity badge for Nightmare, I want to draw the purple weapon guaranteed in the Elf Armor Prize Pool, and there are also various Elf skill training acceleration cards.

When the provincial competition is over, he estimates that he can train well for a long time.

If he has enough points, he can train the Elf skills according to the needs, and the Elf skill level will probably improve by leaps and bounds.

In addition to the matters of the exchange store, he is also preparing to start thinking about the problem of Little Shining breaking through to the advanced stage after the provincial competition.

Through this period of study, he has gained a comprehensive and systematic supplement to many knowledge related to the evolution and breakthrough of the Elf, and the obstacles at the knowledge level are gradually reduced.

Thanks to "Sakura Xiaozhu" for the reward of 100 starting coins.
