“I didn’t expect there to be a restaurant here.”

Kurosawa looked surprised.

"Been here before?"

"My junior high school is right across the street."

Even so, he couldn't name the alley.

Haitang No. 2 Middle School is nearby. When he used to go to school, he would occasionally go into the surrounding alleys.

The alley is about a hundred meters long, opposite is the station, and 300 meters to the west of the station is Haitang No. 2 Middle School.

Walking along the winding alley, there are messy food stalls, with wooden tables and plastic stools extending out of the tile-roofed houses occupying the alley.

Vendors selling hand cakes, octopus balls, grilled skewers, and sweets all live and eat here.

Walking further inside, there are a variety of small shops.

Those selling snacks, stationery and comics, and video game arcades.

Many junior high school students run into the alleys as soon as school is over. Even though it is lunch time, there is still a group of students in school uniforms gathered in front of the arcade outside the arcade, which is very popular.

The private restaurant is located on the fork in the alley near the video game arcade, hidden among low-rise houses with no characteristics.

"Oh, what a coincidence, you came here to play games when you were in school?"

A faint smile appeared on Gong Lihua's face.

"I learned it by accompanying me. I just watched it at that time."

Walk into a private house with a small courtyard.

There are two tables in the yard and one in the house.

This private restaurant is run by an aunt who looks to be forty years old. There is no store sign, no waiters, and not even a menu.

Reservations are required for meals, usually five days or a week in advance.

At its peak, it can last up to half a month.

However, Kurosawa guessed that Miyatoshi probably didn't need to make an appointment.

The two of them sat at the table in the room.

The food arrived soon, and we chatted while eating.

Gong Lihua was still quite curious about his encounter with Gao Yi, but she was in a meeting yesterday and it was not convenient to leave for a long time, so she briefly chatted with Kurosawa and hung up the phone after confirming that he was safe.

Kurosawa briefly described the situation he encountered in the underground palace ruins.

Gong Lihua couldn't help but sweat for him.

Although he was amazed at Kurosawa's rapid improvement in strength, he still reminded him.

"It's amazing, but those two intermediate transitional elves may be slightly weaker than elves of the same level."

"Next time you encounter transitional enemies, be more careful."

"The actual combat power of elves at different transitional levels is very different. The weak ones may not be as good as some full-leaf intermediate elves, while the strong ones may be close to the advanced stage combat power."

Kurosawa nodded.

Gao Yi was hiding incognito in the outpost town of Ugu Desert. In order not to reveal his identity, the daily elf training must not be carried out with great fanfare.

If the elves do not receive adequate training for a long time, their strength will decline to a certain extent, which is inevitable.

But Gao Yi also has something stronger than ordinary elf masters, and that is his blood energy, which can enhance his and the elf's status.

So looking at both aspects, Gao Yi may have a certain amount of water, but the amount of water added is open to question, and it depends on which part is heavier.

Miya Rika was not present at the scene. The reason why she said this was because she was worried that Kurosawa's strength would increase too quickly.

Not every time you are as lucky as this time, when you are facing a life-threatening situation, you happen to enter the underground palace ruins that enhance your strength.

Gong Lihua was obviously worried too much.

Kurosawa finished his exercise every night, and before falling asleep in bed, he would briefly summarize the day's training and combat experience.

After he finished his training in the underground palace, it didn't take much effort to defeat Gao Yi, but he would never forget the difference in strength between the two sides in the first battle.

And the sense of oppression given to him by his entangled blood.

It was precisely the contrast between the two battles that reminded him even more of the importance of training and practice.

He does have a lot of cards to play.

Formless, Thunder Spear, Mystery, Zeus.

Like Mystery and Zeus, they can even make him explode with strength beyond his normal level.

But when he usually evaluates the strength gap between himself and others, he always uses normal strength comparison.

If your basic strength is not well established, the extent to which special moves can improve you is limited.

The dishes cooked in this private kitchen are not big dishes, but they taste very good.

As I was eating, I forgot to talk.

The two of them had a lot of food.

In other words, the food intake of normal elf masters is generally larger than that of ordinary people.

Elf masters with small appetites are either creating strange personalities or have special physiques.

The wizard's psychic recovery and exercise require a large amount of energy, and stronger physical fitness consumes more energy.

It is normal to get hungry quickly and eat more.

Even if you take supplements regularly, you still need to eat three basic meals a day.

After dinner.

Miya Rika took out a bracelet from somewhere and handed it to Kurosawa.

"Minister, what is this?"

"A storage bracelet, given to you."

"Why did you give me this suddenly?"

Kurosawa subconsciously took the bracelet.

"When I called you last time, didn't I say that the space of the bracelet was too small? I gave you a larger one to make it easier to hold things."

After hearing what she said, Kurosawa remembered.

It seems that this is indeed the case.

But he just mentioned it casually and didn't take it to heart.

He said at the time that the storage space of the bracelet was small and it would not be able to hold too much water if other things were installed.

If you drink enough, you won't be able to take a shower, leaving you wet and sticky.

What he expressed was more about complaining about the excessively hot weather in the Ugu Desert.

"Suddenly gave me such an expensive gift..."

Kurosawa's face was a little tangled.

To say it is not necessary is of course a lie.

The one he wears on his hand, not to mention the relatively small space.

Strictly speaking, it doesn't belong to him yet. He only has the right to use it, but not ownership.

The storage bracelets issued after signing a contract for promotion to professional level are the property of the alliance.

If you want to buy a personal storage bracelet, the cost is not affordable for most newly promoted professional levels.

And according to Minister Gong, the space of this bracelet is larger than the one he is wearing now, so its value will be even higher.

"You're welcome, just think of it as a gift from me, the master, to my apprentice."

Kurosawa was stunned for a moment and his eyes widened slightly.

He and Gong Lihua looked at each other in confusion.

"What's wrong? Don't you want to?"

"No no."

Kurosawa breathed a sigh of relief.

"It just feels a bit too sudden, Minister."

Moreover, in his impression, the confirmation of the master-disciple relationship should be more formal.

Bring tea and water and meet the elders of the master's family.

"Is it so sudden? I thought you had already regarded me as your teacher."

Gong Lihua blinked her eyes.
