The night he returned to the hotel, Kurosawa felt much more relaxed.

For him, the provincial competition means the end of a stage.

Haitang spring auditions, spring main competition, summer finalists, summer main competition, and provincial competition.

Soon he also participated in many competitions and was no longer a newbie on the scene.

"Hey, Mom."

"Well, my game is over."

"It's okay, Mom, you're overthinking it. I'm very happy, really."

"..."

I chatted with my parents for half an hour.

Kurosawa's mother was also worried that he would be lost because of this.

In her opinion, this was the first time Kurosawa was eliminated early, and she thought Kurosawa would feel uncomfortable.

In fact, it was my mother, Ms. Tao, who was overly worried.

Kurosawa is generally satisfied with his provincial results.

...

There was no part of the Haitang representative team in the provincial competition. On the day the qualifying round ended, Gong Lihua announced to everyone that they were disbanded.

Everyone is free to go wherever they want to go next.

She seems to be busy with something.

The next day, Kurosawa did not return to Haitang with the others who were preparing to return.

He still has some things to deal with in Changchuan.

...

The city center of Changchuan is full of high-rise buildings.

The greening in the city is not bad. Between the reinforced concrete boxes, greenery dots the urban landscape.

When Kurosawa walks on the street, he will be recognized by many Nagakawa citizens.

Yesterday's qualifying competition ended, and he has initially achieved a little bit of fame in the province.

He is incomparable to those top elite players and even masters, but as long as fans who have followed the competition recently will have an impression of him as the number one among the elites in Hanquan Province.

I woke up this morning.

He found that the number of subscriptions to his official website soared rapidly, at an unprecedented speed.

"Congratulations on achieving the long-term achievement mission [Group Faith] 600,000 stage achievement."

"Get the basic reward of 120 coupons."

"Please continue to work hard to collect more positive collective spiritual energy."

...

"Congratulations on achieving the long-term achievement mission [Group Faith] 700,000 stage achievement."

"Get the basic reward of 140 points."

...

"Current number of coupons: 2225"

You know, he just reached 500,000 subscriptions not long ago.

In one day, his number of subscriptions surged by 200,000.

This was due to the more than two million viewers in the live broadcast room that day and the release of subsequent video highlights.

Yes, the battle between him and Xia Sucai was officially edited into the top 10 highlights of the Hanquan Province 2022 Class A League qualifying stage.

Although it is only ranked eighth, which is not at the top, it is already very difficult to be included in the top 10 highlights.

In the battles in the top 10 highlights, the elf energy value is basically above four or five hundred leaves.

Zhuo Yan alone occupies two seats in the top 10 battle highlights.

No matter how exciting the battle is, with twists and turns, out of professional considerations, the event program team will not include low-level elves fighting each other.

In Kurosawa's battle, if not for the fact that Kurosawa's explosive strength was so much beyond the professional level, the program team would not have included it.

Walking on the street, Kurosawa tried his best to pretend that he could not hear the "pointing and pointing" comments made at him by passers-by.

Perhaps it was because he was in a hurry and had a cold expression on his face that passers-by did not stop him from taking photos or asking for autographs.

Fortunately, the citizens of Nagakawa knew nothing about his character.

He took a taxi and went to the office building where the Shengdi branch headquarters is located in the city center.

Shengdi Company received the news that he came to receive the championship prize of the Changchuan beauty pageant, and specially sent a manager in a suit to greet him downstairs.

A person's name, the shadow of a tree.

Kurosawa looked at the manager who led him into the hall and thought with emotion.

He was sure that if he had come to receive the prize two days ago, there was a high probability that the manager in front of him would not be responsible for handling his affairs.

The manager surnamed Gao took him into a bright and luxuriously decorated reception room.

Get a brochure.

There are many commodities and props on it, and the Holy Emperor Company has roughly distributed some rewards based on value for him to choose from.

When Kurosawa glanced at the list of prizes on the day of the competition, he already had the props he wanted.

He quickly flipped through the list of rewards provided by the manager and found that there was not much difference from what he saw at first.

So he stretched out his finger and pointed at a prize in the lottery book.

"That's it."

"Initial gem?" The manager read the name of the item on it.

Kurosawa nodded.

There are many rewards on the prize list, including various beautiful elf pets cultivated by the Holy Emperor Company, skill amber, elf maintenance cards, etc.

He felt that the initial gem was the one he needed most at the moment.

If you want to buy it, the price of initial gemstones is not cheap, basically upwards of one million.

The first-state gem is a very magical natural mineral that can restore elves to their original juvenile state.

Of course, this does not mean that the elf's growth stage has deteriorated.

Taking Mumu as an example, after using the initial gemstone, it can quickly transform between its juvenile silkworm-like form and its current stone giant.

The two-meter-tall body shape is its true state.

The specific principle is very complicated, and Kurosawa is not sure about it. It seems to have the same principle as the flash card that can store elves, but its characteristics are more magical.

Because of this precious body-changing property, the initial gemstone can allow many large elves to move more freely in non-combat states. In addition, the output is limited and cannot be manufactured artificially, so the price has remained high.

The initial gemstone chosen by Kurosawa is considered cheap, weighing in at 1000kg.

In other words, it can be effective on elves weighing one ton. Elfs weighing more than one ton need to purchase initial gems of larger magnitude.

The larger the magnitude of the initial gem, the higher the price, or even the price is not available.

Kurosawa needs this initial gemstone very much.

Mum's body is still growing rapidly, and currently, it is often inconvenient for him to let it out and move around.

Many times we don't call it out, not because we hate it, but because the venue doesn't allow it.

If you are in the cicada pupa state, which is tens of centimeters long, it will be much more convenient to go out for activities.

When he ordered the specialist to go to the warehouse to pick up the goods, the manager was still complimenting Kurosawa in sweet words.

As Kurosawa thought, Shengdi Company had already investigated his information in detail, and perhaps felt that he had great potential. Even if he was currently weak, he would probably become a partner in the future, so they treated him very politely.

The manager offered to take him to the company's laboratory for a tour.

The Shengdi Changchuan Headquarters Building is a comprehensive building integrating business offices, research, and catering.

In the laboratory of the Holy Emperor Company, Kurosawa saw many larvae of the doo-doo bird elves.

Researchers in white coats are testing various data and drawing blood around them.

Shengdi Company has been committed to launching more beautiful and docile elf pets, and Dudu Bird is one of the outstanding varieties.

Most doodles are extremely docile and can even be said to be lazy.

Kurosawa's doo-doo bird actually has an unusual personality. Of course, this may be related to Kurosawa's status as an elf master. When psychic energy helps the elf larvae grow, it will also make their personalities more lively, outgoing, and aggressive.

"You should be familiar with Dudu birds."

The manager reached out and took out a palm-sized doodle bird from the breeding cabin.
