Shanmu Town, nightfall.

The sky is exceptionally clear tonight.

Maybe it's September and the weather is getting cooler.

The evening breeze blows in my face, and I can vaguely smell the breath of autumn.

At the end of the knockout round, Kurosawa was different from the noise on the Internet. On the contrary, he was in a very peaceful mood at the moment.

The competition ends this afternoon, and all the tickets and personal level experience rewards for the knockout rounds have been distributed.

Point coupons were awarded 40,000 in one go, and some of the points that were originally consumed by upgrading skills were increased again.

Kurosawa's level was also successfully upgraded from lv7 to lv8 (512/2000).

However, this personal level improvement seems to have triggered a system update.

Kurosawa's personal page and elf page are locked, and the store cannot be opened temporarily, but it does not affect the use of other abilities.

A player reception dinner is being held at the restaurant on the first floor of the hotel.

After the knockout rounds, we will have a day off tomorrow, and the provincial Super League will be held immediately the day after tomorrow.

For most of the masters, they came to the competition not expecting to advance from the knockout round, so their mood was not affected by the end of the knockout round and they could still relax and attend the dinner.

Kurosawa was not used to the lively atmosphere, so he went up to the balcony on the second floor to get some fresh air.

He is more accustomed to gathering with friends he is familiar with.

Looking down from the balcony on the second floor, you can just see the busy commercial street of Shanmu Town.

The red and green lights flash, giving people a noisy and festive atmosphere.

Outside the hotel, several vans could still be seen. Reporters carrying cameras were waiting outside the door, trying to communicate with the security guards to enter the hotel.

The security guard waved his hands repeatedly, and the canine spirit at his feet also barked at the reporter.

The atmosphere in the street is very good.

During this period of time, Shanmu Town or the entire Jinliang City was the safest place in Hanquan Province.

Dozens of masters gathered in one place, and no one with evil intentions would dare to commit crimes here.

Of course, this does not mean that other cities are completely guarded. Not all masters like to show their faces. For example, Master Wu Ming, who taught Kurosawa the wholehearted method before, rarely participates in competitions.

This is just a choice based on your own needs and personality, and there is no distinction between good and bad.

When he was alone on the second floor balcony to relax.

A person came up the stairs behind him.

"Master Kurosawa, why are you admiring the moon here alone?"

Kurosawa heard the sound and turned around.

He originally thought it would be another master, but the moment he saw the person coming, it was different from his guess.

The man is wearing a white coat.

People who dress this way usually belong to academic roles such as senior researchers and professors.

Behind him followed a beauty in a red evening gown.

Tonight's banquet will be attended by not only many masters competing this time, but also some famous researchers, breeders, big local businessmen, and other figures.

The man stepped forward and offered his hand eagerly.

"What do you call him?" Kurosawa shook hands with him, looking a little confused as to what the researcher wanted to do with him.

The man was very tall, half a head taller than Kurosawa, who was 1.9 meters tall. Kurosawa estimated that he must be about two meters tall.

"Please allow me to introduce myself. I am Wen Fu, the chief researcher of the Hanquan branch of Creation Elf Group. This is my assistant, Duman."

While the man was speaking, his eyes were fixed on Kurosawa, showing some eagerness.

Kurosawa narrowed his eyes imperceptibly.

His sixth sense is very sensitive. This researcher named Wen Fu is tall and big, but he has a feminine temperament. He is not very cold.

However, Kurosawa did not express his subconscious displeasure. After all, it was just a judgment made by his sixth sense.

"Hello."

Kurosawa nodded, but he was thinking about the other party's self-introduction.

Chuosheng Group is one of the major companies in Haihua that conducts basic research on elves. To be able to hold the position of chief researcher of the provincial branch, it is obvious that he has real talent and knowledge.

"Duman, introduce yourself to Master Kurosawa."

He pulled the woman behind him in front of him.

From the moment the woman appeared, her eyes were completely glued to Kurosawa.

"Hello, Master Kurosawa. My name is Duman. I am a senior researcher at Chuangsheng Group. I graduated from Zhongdu University. I am glad to meet you."

Duman held out his hand.

Kurosawa shook hands with her politely.

But after a brief handshake, he raised his eyebrows and immediately took out his hand.

The woman scratched his palm while shaking hands.

"Duman is also a fan of yours. You performed so well in this year's competition. No, as soon as Duman heard that our company had received the invitation to the dinner, she couldn't contain her excitement and asked me to bring her here."

The man has a bright smile on his face.

The beauty Duman next to him heard this, and he didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional. He took another step towards Kurosawa and looked at Kurosawa with charming eyes.

The red evening dress outlined her graceful figure.

Kurosawa didn't seem to see this and just responded politely.

"Hello, thank you for your support."

However, those who are familiar with him will notice that his tone of voice begins to become careless.

He felt that the other party's purpose might not be pure.

"Master Kurosawa, are you drinking?" The smile on Wen Fu's face did not weaken, and he was still very enthusiastic.

Kurosawa waved his hand.

Seeing that Kurosawa was indifferent, Wen Fu got into the main topic of today's chat.

"Master Kurosawa, what do you think of the mutation of the Dudu bird?"

"I don't know much."

"I have participated in part of the research work on the petization of the Doodle bird in the past, do you still have some say in this? Your elf Shining must be a mutant species of the Doodle bird, right?" Wen Fu mentioned the Doodle bird.

, licked his lips unconsciously, and his expression became more eager.

Kurosawa was noncommittal, his expression unchanged.

The little Shining was named Shining by him in the alliance level information.

Of course many people can guess that it is a mutated elf from a doo-doo bird, which is nothing surprising.

"I wonder if you are in the mood to conduct cooperative research with our Chuangsheng Hanquan branch? We can provide technical support to fully tap more potential of your outstanding mutant Dudu bird, and by then break through the five-star race, and even half

It doesn't matter if he is a god or even stronger." Wen Fu said confidently.

"Yes, we are definitely the company with the deepest research on Dudu birds in China." The beauty also smiled.

"We can develop a special training plan for you. All resources in the process will be invested by our company. You only need to hand over the elves to us, I think." Wen Fu added.

As he was speaking, Kurosawa stretched out his hand to interrupt him.

"Mr. Wen, I have no plans to hand over the elves to others for research at the moment. Thank you for your kindness." Kurosawa didn't even want to hear the other person's words.

He would never hand over the little Shining to the person in front of him for study.

Firstly, Kurosawa's first impression of him was not good. The subsequent behavior of him and his female companion also increased Kurosawa's displeasure. What they thought was flattering and hinting were all deducted points for Kurosawa.

.

He hates making friends with motives other than pure.

Secondly, he had no idea of ​​handing over his elf to researchers for study yet. Besides, he couldn't trust this man named Wen Fu at all. He gave him the impression that he was planning something carefully.

Thirdly, Little Shining is too special for Kurosawa. It is the only elf among Kurosawa's elves that has completed evolution through the evolutionary path given by the system, and it is different from other elves.

"Don't you think about it? Duduniao's research work will not only help your personal career as an elf master, but it is also a research that benefits the country and the people and benefits countless elf masters." Wen Fu continued to persuade.

"I'm sorry." Kurosawa had no response to his attempts to induce moral kidnapping, and pretended to leave.

The beauty quickly stepped forward and tried to hold him.

But how could Kurosawa be pulled by her, turn to the right, and dodge.

"Ms. Duman, please respect yourself."

"Mr. Wen Fu, please stop pestering me, otherwise I will ask someone to take you out."
