Gu Xingning's expression turned slightly bitter as he took back the elf ball from the fallen Pangyan Monster.
He had known for a long time that even if the initial earthquake was not predicted and avoided by Emperor Nabo, just looking at the strength comparison between Pangyan Monster and Emperor Nabo, he would still lose.
What's more, the new trainer in front of him is no less powerful than him, and is even stronger.
Not only did Du Ming have flexible reactions and appropriate tactics, the elves he trained were also extremely good. While he cooperated well with the trainer, he also had excellent independent judgment.
Togekis, Kirbymon, and Emperor Nabo.
Now that I think about it carefully, the three elves that Du Ming played in the battle all performed very well in the battle.
"It's not simple, it's not simple."
With such a sigh, Gu Xingning carefully took out a badge that shone with metallic luster. This badge was made of silver-white metal and carved into the shape of half a gear.
To the touch, it feels very uneven but very thick.
"You are qualified to possess this Baoshan badge." Gu Xingning said seriously.
It has nothing to do with any conflicts. It is very formal for the gym owner to award the gym badge to the challenger.
"Congratulations to the host for completing the mission [Difficult Gym Battle], rewarded with 3 skill points!"
The mission rewards are directly credited to his account, plus the saved skill points and the skill points that come with improving his personal strength level. Du Ming now has 11 idle and available skill points.
This number of skill points can upgrade [Heart Power] from green to cyan level, and there will still be some left.
After receiving the Baoshan gym badge, Du Ming recalled the gym battle just now. Judging from the results, his victory came smoothly. None of the three elves who participated were lost in the battle.
"One-third of the mental effort is consumed."
If he didn't use the power of his heart at all times, Du Ming would not be able to respond to Gu Xingning's many sharp attacks and flexible dodges in time. If he didn't rack his brains to think about Gu Xingning's battle elves, Pokkisi's victory over the Wrestling Eagle would have been impossible.
Will not appear.
If Du Ming falls into a passive position from the very beginning of the battle, the pressure on Kirbymon, Togekiss, and Emperor Nabo will become extremely high. If one of them is not handled properly, the elves will fall one after another and eventually be completely defeated.
Winning against attributes? Unless you bully the newbies, it is almost impossible. After all, the overall strength of Gu Xingning's elves in the battle is no worse than Du Ming's main battle team.
"The Pangyan monster has lost its combat effectiveness..."
Fan Chen belatedly performed his duties as a referee, but was interrupted by Gu Xingning.
"I've already given you the badge, what else are you going to announce?"
"Oh, sorry."
Fan Chen lowered his head and couldn't help but recall the battle scene between Du Ming and Gu Xingning. Fan Chen felt that he was ridiculously naive.
"It's a shame that I dared to challenge Du Ming."
Fan Chen smiled bitterly, and Du Ming passed by him without even noticing. After recognizing the gap between him and Du Ming, Fan Chen's expression became natural, which made Gu Xingning somewhat relieved. At least his defeat was not worthless.
…
After defeating Baoshan Gym, Du Ming finally collected 4 badges. These 4 badges were not only Du Ming's ticket to participate in the Magic City Competition, but also proof of his improvement in strength.
Jiang Haolin from the Zhoucheng Gym, Qiao Shijie from the Beihai Gym, Liu Changyan from the Wuzhou Gym, and Gu Xingning from the Baoshan Gym. It is precisely because of Du Ming's continuous improvement in strength that he was able to obtain these four badges.
"There is still one and a half months until the Magic City Competition is held."
Du Ming lay relaxed on Kirby's belly and began to think.
"Time is very short. If you use this month and a half efficiently, it is the key to achieving good results in the Magic City Competition."
For Du Ming, there were still many problems to overcome if he wanted to qualify for the Magic City Competition. The various problems made him more and more confused the more he thought about them, so he simply put them aside for the time being and browsed the system store.
Du Ming now has 130,000 reputation points. Good steel should be used on the blade, so he must use this reputation value reasonably to maximize the elf's strength.
"System, help me select suitable energy cube formulas, energy attack ones." Du Ming said in his heart.
Currently, he has two energy cube formulas, namely Divine Power and Aurora. Among them, [Divine Power] is a blue-level formula. If consumed continuously for one month, it can increase the physical attack by 3 levels, up to 36 levels. And [
Aurora] is much different. The energy cube produced by the yellow-level formula is only orange-level, which is a full 3 levels different from [Divine Power].
Of course, the effect of Aurora is still very good. It increases the special attack by 2 levels every month. Unfortunately, the effect only lasts for 3 months and can only increase by 6 levels at most.
"Almost half a month before the Magic City Competition, [Aurora] no longer has a special attack enhancement effect on elves."
Thinking of this, Du Ming began to speed up browsing the system store. There were many energy cube formulas selected by the system, and Du Ming's eyes finally stopped on a certain formula.
Trickery Energy Cube Formula (Blue): A blueprint engraved with the energy cube formula [Trickery]. After learning it, it is possible to produce [Trickery] energy cube. Price: 150,000 reputation points.
When he saw this [Trickster] formula, Du Ming couldn't take his eyes away. Not only because [Trickster] was as effective as [Divine Power], but also because of the special nature of trickery!
Generally speaking, various energy cubes are difficult to be compatible with each other. Changing the energy cubes of elves is very troublesome for trainers.
For example, if Du Ming wants Togekis and the others to exchange the [Tianhong] energy cube with a better effect, when they first eat it, the special attack ability that Togekiss can improve will never be 2.5 levels, but 0.5 levels or even
Less is better than nothing. Only after three months of continuous consumption, the effect of [Aurora] is completely eliminated by [Tianhong], and the effect of the Rainbow Energy Cube on improving the elves can be truly revealed.
In addition, there is another trouble, that is, if the energy cube that Du Ming replaces increases his ability by less than 2 levels every month, he will not be able to compete with [Aurora]. After all, the Aurora energy cube can only be consumed for 3 months.
If you can't find a better energy block, you can always only add 6 levels of special attacks.
That's why the formula of the Aurora Energy Cube has only yellow quality. Of course, Du Ming has the system and is not afraid of finding a better energy cube, so the side effects of the Aurora Energy Cube are non-existent to him.
However, the formula of [Trickery] is different!
The trick energy cube is only slightly worse than [divine power] in improving abilities, but the trick energy cube is perfectly compatible with other energy cubes, so you can start improving directly from the existing foundation!
This compatible effect will last until the elf's special attack ability increases by 32 levels.
Du Ming could feel the importance of this trick energy cube to his existing elves. Emperor Nabo, Togekiss, Lantern Ghost, and barely adding Larulas, it can be said that there are 4 elves in his team who need them all.
Improve special attack.
However, the only thing he can really use is [divine power].
But don’t worry, this is not the most embarrassing thing. The most embarrassing thing is——
"Purchasing the recipe for the Trickery Energy Cube requires 150,000 reputation points. But I only have 130,000 reputation points, so I can't afford it at all!!"
Du Ming secretly remembered this embarrassment and turned to the system: "Start the carousel lottery, 10 consecutive draws!"
"It has been detected that the host authority has been elevated. The carousel lottery system has added a bet function. Do you want to add a bet?" the system responded.
Du Ming was a little confused, but soon realized.
After the disaster mission, his system authority was indeed improved. However, he was always on the cruise ship at the time. If something suddenly appeared, it would still be difficult to explain, so there was no lottery.
Only now did I discover that the carousel lottery has an additional betting function!
"What's the use?" Du Ming asked.
"The more you raise, the higher the possibility of drawing high-quality rewards in this category after the pointer stops." the system replied.
Du Ming was speechless for a long time. After all, he could not resist the temptation of high-quality rewards. His pride as the European Emperor was instantly defeated: "I want to increase the system's bets. Just add 10 bets to me!"
After he finished speaking, he took a deep breath and felt that this was a huge gamble in his life.
As the turntable pointer continued to rotate, Du Ming became more and more focused. When the pointer finally landed on [Elves], he was speechless by the sudden luck.
