My Elf Simulator

After dealing with the last matters at hand, Kurosawa informed his relatives, friends and company employees and left Haitang City.

This year's provincial super was not held in Changchuan, but in Jinliang City.

Kurosawa had never been to this city before.

Among the first-tier city, three second-tier cities and one quasi-second-tier city in Hanquan Province, he had only been to Changchuan, Guchuan and Haitang.

And when he was in Guchuan, he only lived in a border town for a while before changing his route.

However, although he had never been to Jinliang City, it did not mean that he knew nothing about this city.

Jinliang City is a famous medicinal material city in Hanquan Province. A large part of the magical resource supply in Haitang City is transported from Jinliang City.

The reason behind this is that there are a large number of subspaces with favorable conditions and rich magical plants near Jinliang City. Magical crops are easy to grow in them, and according to incomplete data statistics, the probability of random birth of magical resources in Jinliang is also 5 times higher than that of other cities.

It can be said that in Hanquan Province, Jinliang City is the city that best fits the image of the paradise in traditional culture.

The unique advantages also make the life and work of urban residents here closely related to medicinal materials. The per capita income ranks first in the province, even surpassing the provincial capital Changchuan.

However, while God opens a window for you, he may also secretly close a door for you.

With such a favorable location, Jinliang City rarely has talented geniuses at the level of the Elf League. It seems to be cursed. The number of geniuses in this city is obviously less than that of the other three cities, and more often it relies on resource accumulation.

However, the way of resource accumulation is more difficult to have any effect in the later stage.

Therefore, Jinliang City's high-end strength at the level of elves is the weakest among several large cities in Hanquan Province, but its grassroots strength is unique, and the overall elf culture is strong.

The 2024 Provincial Super League will be held in such a city.

The rule of holding the Provincial Super League is generally to alternate between Changchuan, Guchuan, Taixiang, and Jinliang. The specific city to be held in that year depends on the situation of the corresponding deep secret realm around the city.

It has been five years since Jinliang City last held the highest-level Provincial Super League in the province.

Perhaps because it has not been the host in some years, Jinliang attaches great importance to the Provincial Super League this year.

As soon as Hei Ze stepped into Jinliang, he immediately felt the atmosphere of the event, which was very different from that in Changchuan City last year.

Last year's 2023 Changchuan-Provincial Super League was very low-key overall, but the Jinliang League treated it with special grandeur. This may be the difference between the provincial capital and other cities.

The provincial capital has held too many major events, so it is not particularly cherished for the opportunity to host events.

In a small town in the suburbs of Jinliang City.

Hei Ze walked on the street. The road was not wide but extremely flat, and there were no potholes on the sidewalks and bicycle paths on both sides.

There are many flowers and plants planted in the yards of every household, and the fields farther away are full of medicinal crops. Although they are not precious magical plants, they are also common medicinal materials that can be used as auxiliary materials.

Next to the old farmer in the field, there are two dog elves, running around in circles beside people, and roaring from time to time to drive away the crows circling in the sky.

Passers-by walking on the roadside are walking mountain rock rabbits.

All the scenes tell visitors that this is a wealthy, quiet, slow-paced, and full of life.

In terms of the elf atmosphere, Jinliang City is indeed the first-class existence among the cities that Kurosawa has visited.

This is easy to understand. When people have a higher standard of living and basic material conditions are met, they will have more spare money to invest in elves. Moreover, the key project of the city's own operation is medicinal materials, and low-level elf masters benefit the most.

However, the atmosphere is a bit too comfortable and relaxed. Perhaps it is because of the overall soothing tone of life that the elf masters in this city do not have much pressure in life, but lack the motivation to strive.

Kurosawa pondered silently in his mind.

Otherwise, it is hard to explain why the number of elite players is not as good as Changchuan, Taixiang, and Guchuan under such favorable objective conditions.

As for the curse rumors circulating on the Internet, Kurosawa has never believed in these nonsense.

Kurosawa took the tram and passed through several small towns.

Almost every town has a large number of elves in the street office, without exception.

Of course, many residents' elves do not have contract circuits in their bodies, and they are artificially bred elf varieties that lack growth and aggression, and are only suitable for pet breeding.

The tram traveled for several stations, and finally Kurosawa arrived at the destination of this trip, Shanmu Town.

The moment the tram entered the town, Kurosawa saw the promotional page of the Provincial Super League on the billboard flashing outside the track.

He even saw his makeup photo in it, which should have been taken in the finals of the Provincial A last year.

At the same time, there are photos and information of other players, all very detailed.

The Provincial A League held in Jinliang City is also not fully open to the audience due to objective conditions, but there are corresponding offline activities.

Kurosawa left the tram station, and others ignored his existence.

He used his stealth skills to walk among the crowd.

Although the Jinliang City Alliance has specially contracted a hotel to accommodate the players participating in this provincial super league, Hei Ze does not plan to stay there.

He came here in a low-key manner, which must be to avoid being disturbed before the game starts. How could he stay in the player hotel with a big fanfare?

Then Hei Ze visited and toured around Shanmu Town for two days.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the game.

Shanmu Town has become the home of the hot event.

In the bar and restaurant, a large number of tourists, citizens and even new elf masters gathered together to wait for the game to start.

Large cups of bubbling beer were sent to various seats by waiters.

Several young men and women with cameras were walking around, interviewing people whenever they caught them, especially those who were holding elves in their arms and obviously looked like elf masters.

Either they were live broadcasting or they were internet celebrities shooting videos.

"Who are you a fan of?"

"Are there any players you support more?"

"Sister Fen!"

"Snow King!"

The home advantage was fully reflected.

In many interviews, the support rate of players from Jinliang City is the highest.

However, well-known players from various cities also frequently appear in the mouths of interviewees.

Especially young spectators, compared with middle-aged spectators, Kurosawa appears more frequently in their answers.

Although Kurosawa's ranking in the last provincial super league was not very ideal, he is still very popular among young people.

——

Early in the morning, Kurosawa met Ning Yexing and the other two who met in the last provincial super league.

The three of them chose to participate in the competition again this year.

Ning Yexing is a bit righteous. Although he dislikes the trouble of the competition, he will not miss the highest-level league in Hanquan Province.

The number of contestants this year is a few more than last year, as many as 58.

"I don't have time to find you several times. If I meet you in this year's competition, I will not hold back." Ning Yexing patted Kurosawa's shoulder and said with a smile.

"You'd better not meet me. I'd be embarrassed to send you off in person."

Hei Ze was sincere when he said this, but Ning Yexing didn't take it to heart.

Hei Ze felt helpless when he saw that he didn't care.

However, he was aiming for the top few this year.

But looking at the energy value of the core elves, he didn't have much advantage over those old top masters, but he also had more diverse trump cards and bonuses. Hei Ze thought he was still very competitive.

Although because of his mediocre performance last year, no one would put him in the ranks of championship contenders.

"Welcome all players to Shanmu Town, I am the host Lou Ting."

In the venue, 58 players from the Provincial Super League gathered together.

Everyone was observing each other.

Especially some relatively young players. The old players are stronger, but there is less room for improvement. One year can't bring much change. At most, they can slightly adjust the lineup and change the battle strategy. The new players are testing each other.

In fact, privately, they may have learned about the strength of other players through their own channels, such as last year's league video, battle videos of the past year, etc.

Kurosawa sat in his seat, staring at the host on the stage explaining the rules of this provincial super league.

He did not deliberately collect intelligence about his opponents. Of course, due to the nature of his work, other people must have a very limited understanding of him. It is likely that they can only judge his strength by watching the videos of last year's provincial first and provincial super games.

But if that is the case, the result of the judgment will be completely different.

His current strength is several times that of his own last year.

Half an hour later, the introduction on the stage was completed.

The rules of this competition are similar to the last time.

The competition is still held in the wild.

For the master, the size of the venue is too limited, and it is difficult to bring out the strength of the super-level elves.

In terms of the overall competition system, the mechanism of first point elimination and then the top 16 finals is still adopted.

The top twelve players in the last competition will get the seeded player quota, and the remaining four places will be born through the elimination competition.

Like last year, Hei Ze also needs to participate in the elimination rounds first and get the top four points before he can advance to the main competition.

For some reason, he is confident in his strength, but when the competition is about to start, he is still a little nervous and excited.

After all, although his strength has improved rapidly during his time in Haitang City, he has not fought against other master elf masters for two months.

Just relying on personal practice, lacking real battles, there is no yardstick to judge how strong one's own strength is.

Elf battle is not a numerical game. Pull out the elves and compare the energy value to determine the winner.

End the meeting.

The players chatted with other players while leaving the game.

For some players, the Provincial Super League is the best platform to get to know and make friends with other elf masters.

It is difficult to meet at other times.

"Hello, let me introduce myself, Hei Ze, I am Gu Jihong, I did not participate in the competition last year."

"Hello."

Hei Ze shook hands with him.

He did not have any impression of the person coming in front of him.

But this is normal.

Isn't this the significance of the Provincial Super League, to allow masters from the same province who are unfamiliar with each other or have never met each other to get closer to each other.

Walking out of the meeting venue, there was a large group of reporters and media people outside.

Changchuan TV Station, Taixiang Newspaper, Jinliang Online.

Hei Ze also saw the host of Haitang TV Station inside.

He was somewhat familiar with the TV station in his hometown.

Seeing Kurosawa walking towards him.

The male host had a warm smile on his face.

"Kurosawa, say hello to the audience friends?"

"Hello everyone, I am Kurosawa."

"How is your recent state? As the only seedling in our Haitang City, fans are very concerned about this issue?"

"Not bad, after all, I returned to Haitang more than a month in advance to prepare for the Provincial Super League. Both my personal state and the physical state of the elves should be on the rise."

"Hearing you say this, I and the fans in front of the TV are more relieved." The host's smile became brighter. "I wish you a good game!"

He and the audience in front of the TV all breathed a sigh of relief and became more confident.

Kurosawa's consistent style is that he doesn't like to brag and says whatever he has.

After the host of Haitang TV took the initiative to end the interview, media people from Jinliang City, Changchuan City and other places also came over.

Although Kurosawa has nothing to do with the hot contenders in various prediction programs, and his name is not seen in the top ten or even the top twenty pre-match media rankings, this does not prevent him from being the most talked-about and discussed player in Hanquan Province.

Kurosawa has a considerable number of fans in Changchuan, Jinliang, Taixiang and other places, and it is clear that he will only get stronger in the future. Compared with the stronger veteran players, he is more worthy of fans' expectations.

"Kurosawa, welcome to Jinliang City. Have you traveled around these days? Is there any place that left a particularly deep impression on you?" The media in Jinliang City handed the microphone to Kurosawa.

"I went to the hot spring resort in Changli Town for two days and experienced the famous nourishing medicinal food in Jinliang City. The local customs and food in Jinliang impressed me deeply."

Kurosawa said a few good words.

He knew that the media and audience of Jinliang would definitely want to be recognized. It was human nature and nothing could be blamed. He would not deliberately say something to spoil the fun. Besides, Jinliang City did give him a good impression. It was a very livable city.

The reporter of Jinliang smiled proudly when he heard Kurosawa's praise.

"If you like, I can recommend you to go there after the game."

The reporter enthusiastically recommended a series of tourist attractions. It can be seen that he was very enthusiastic and had no resistance to Kurosawa, a foreign player.
