Chapter 620 Bragging
Wen Qi listened quietly to Zhou Zhiwen's eloquent boasting about how he was invited to the temple three times before he agreed to come. He was puzzled.
“This is just nonsense.”
At this time, Zhou Zhiwen was talking excitedly and had no idea that danger was approaching.
Just when Zhou Zhiwen was playing the flute with great enthusiasm, Wen Qi flashed and quietly came behind him.
The apprentices had already seen Wen Qi's figure. They stared with their eyes wide open, not daring to make a sound. How could they dare to inform Zhou Zhiwen?
Zhou Zhiwen continued to talk:
"The owner of the museum came to me several times and begged me. I was in a very difficult situation at the time, but I couldn't resist his sincerity. So I accepted this scorpion and agreed to help."
As he was speaking, he noticed that the apprentices in front of him had strange expressions and flickering eyes, and he couldn't help but feel suspicious.
At this moment, Rotom suddenly said:
"Hello, Master!"
This sound was like a thunderclap, which frightened Zhou Zhiwen so much that he almost jumped up. His face turned pale instantly, and he seemed to have been frightened half way out of his soul.
Wen Qi's voice followed, unhurried but with a hint of majesty:
"Brother Zhou, come here and tell me in detail why I came to you three times to beg you. Please explain it to me in detail."
Wen Qi crossed his arms across his chest, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, staring at Zhou Zhiwen with a half-smile.
Zhou Zhiwen laughed dryly twice, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, and stammered:
"Haha, that owner, I was just joking. The three visits to the thatched cottage and so on were all jokes. In fact, I just wanted to follow the owner, so I came here on my own initiative."
As he spoke, he scratched his head in embarrassment.
Wen Qi chuckled and waved his hand:
"Haha, there's no need to be so nervous. It was indeed me who invited you to your house, so what you said is not entirely wrong. Just don't be so exaggerated in your words next time, and don't use those artistic processing."
Wen Qi looked calm, with a hint of teasing in his tone.
"Okay, Master, I will pay attention next time."
Zhou Zhiwen nodded quickly with a respectful look, and his heart finally settled down.
The apprentices watched this scene from the side, some were trying to hold back their laughter, while others had curiosity in their eyes. This little episode gave them a new understanding of the owner and Zhou Zhiwen.
Wen Qi really didn't want to chat and joke with Zhou Zhiwen, so he straightened his face and said bluntly:
"I have something good here. I wanted to give you one, but your performance just now really disappointed me. I think I'd better not give it to you."
Wen Qi originally wanted to tease Zhou Zhiwen, but he didn't expect that since Zhou Zhiwen left the search team, all his former majesty was gone, leaving only a thick skin.
When Zhou Zhiwen heard this, his eyes widened. Without saying a word, he hugged Wen Qi's thighs and cried out in a sobbing voice:
"Master, I was wrong! I was really wrong! I would never dare to do that again, even if you kill me!"
This sudden action stunned Wen Qi and the apprentices beside him. The scene was so awkward that it could have been used to squeeze out three bedrooms and a living room.
Li Changhai and other apprentices looked at each other in bewilderment. They could never have imagined that their supervisor, who was usually so dignified in front of them, would be like this at this moment.
If Zhou Zhiwen knew what they were thinking, he would definitely sneer:
“You are too naive and have no idea how powerful Wen Qi is.
Any treasure in his hand is a rare and valuable item that is hard to find outside.
It would be foolish to pretend to be noble at this time!"
Wen Qi looked helpless, and he lifted Zhou Zhiwen up from the ground, saying unhappily:
"You are a supervisor after all, with so many apprentices watching you, and you are not afraid of being laughed at, and you make me embarrassed!
Stand up and speak properly, don't do these useless things.
I was just joking with you."
"Master, your joke is too scary! Why didn't you say it earlier?"
Zhou Zhiwen brushed off the non-existent dust on his body and immediately returned to his nonchalant look.
Wen Qi looked at his behavior, shook his head helplessly, and was too lazy to talk nonsense with him anymore.
Wen Qi took out a bottle of water of life from his arms, handed it to Zhou Zhiwen, and introduced it carefully:
"This is the Water of Life. It basically allows gym-level Pokémon to level up."
When Zhou Zhiwen heard this, his eyes lit up instantly. If he hadn't seen Wen Qi's calm eyes, he would have almost cheered.
The apprentices standing by watched eagerly, their faces full of envy.
Wen Qi caught their gazes and said loudly:
“The ten of you are the first batch of apprentices of the gym, and I have high hopes for you.
I have another bottle here, you can take it and divide it between you two. Rotom, help them divide it."
"Loto! Loto! All right, Master, I'll divide it right away."
Rotom happily spun twice in the air and hurried to carry out his mission.
Zhou Mei whispered:
"Wow, this water of life sounds amazing. We are so lucky to have a share of it!"
Huang Ming nodded and agreed:
"Yes, thanks to the owner. We must work hard and live up to the owner's expectations."
Zhou Zhiwen held the water of life tightly, his face full of pride, thinking in his heart:
"Following Wenqi really has many benefits."
Wen Qi looked at this scene with a slight smile on his face. He knew that this water of life would become an important boost to the gym's elves' strength.
We also hope that the apprentices can take this opportunity to grow rapidly.
After a while, Rotom finished distributing the Water of Life neatly.
Although each apprentice only received one tenth of the prize, they all felt that this amount was enough.
After their own scorpions took the medicine, there was a high possibility that their strength would be increased by one level, so everyone's cheeks flushed with excitement.
Just as everyone was filled with joy, Wen Qi straightened his expression and said solemnly:
"You all remember this. You must not tell anyone else what I give you. This is a treasure. Have you ever heard of life energy?
This water of life is related to life energy. If you spread it out, don't expect me to give it to you again in the future. Do you understand?"
"I understand!"
Everyone responded in unison, their voices loud and clear.
Although most apprentices had no idea about life energy and only knew that it should not be talked about casually, Wang Li and Feng Yong knew it very well.
That was something that even the Alliance dreamed of, but the Level 3 gym leader in front of him,
He actually took out so much so casually to share with everyone, which shocked Wang Li and Feng Yong so much that they opened their eyes wide and looked at each other in surprise.
Wang Li's lips moved slightly, wanting to say something, but he held back.
Feng Yong clenched his fists and thought to himself:
"Following Master Wenqi, it seems that I will be able to see a lot of rare things in the future."
Wen Qi glanced around and saw that everyone looked serious. He nodded slightly and felt quite satisfied.
He knew that although the amount of water of life was small, it could be a key aid to the growth of the apprentices' spirits, and keeping this secret was also crucial to the development of the gym.
