Chapter 49: the taste of money

Isn’t this the investor’s relative?

Everyone quickly dismissed their own thoughts.

Investors are all wealthy, so their relatives shouldn’t contract only Cotton Section Worms…

Qiao Sang relaxed.

Whether it was her first battle or not, this should be Fang Sisi’s and Cotton Section Worm’s first official match. It was a good start that nothing went wrong and they made it in time.

“Fire Fang Dog, who do you think will win?” Qiao Sang asked.

Player 12’s Pet was a Sand Burrowing Rat, skilled in self-defense and evasion.

As for the Cotton Section Worm, it was synonymous with weakness; before a certain evolution, it was generally at the bottom in terms of strength among Beginner Pets.

If nothing unexpected happened, Fang Sisi had no chance of winning.

Qiao Sang asking Fire Fang Dog was just to let it observe the situation on the field more and develop the ability to judge the level of both sides.

“Woof.”

Fire Fang Dog pointed its paw in Fang Sisi’s direction and barked.

Qiao Sang: “…”

Is Fire Fang Dog’s eyesight that bad?!

“Why?” Qiao Sang couldn’t help but ask.

“Woof woof.”

Fire Fang Dog explained in its slightly hoarse voice.

That person just praised him for being handsome.

Qiao Sang breathed a sigh of relief.

Good thing it wasn’t bad eyesight…

“Player 12, Zhang Shuo, is 16 years old this year and has one year of Yu Beast Master experience, while his opponent is Player Fang Sisi, who only recently became a Yu Beast Master. Sha Duo, what do you think will be the direction of this match?” The middle-aged Commentator with a slicked-back hair asked the handsome young man next to him.

Normal Pet match commentary is divided into main and sub.

The main Commentator usually has good eyesight and a quick tongue, responsible for furiously reporting the match’s real-time developments.

The sub-Commentator is mostly a guest invited by the organizer who brings their own traffic.

They are basically responsible for analyzing strategies and tactics from a professional perspective, helping the audience understand the match content.

The guest invited for this Bai Xin Competition was Sha Duo, who has been quite popular recently.

He conquered the audience in the recent Yu Hua regional competition with his handsome appearance and his never-give-up spirit until the last moment.

Although he stopped at the top 24 in the end, he was even more popular than some of the top 10 players.

“I think…”

Before Sha Duo could start expressing his opinion, the match on the field had already ended.

He continued, “It seems I don’t need to say anything.”

At the very beginning of the match, the Sand Burrowing Rat burrowed directly into the ground, and the Cotton Section Worm was so bewildered that it was attacked from underground by the Sand Burrowing Rat and knocked out.

Qiao Sang put away her phone, which was still recording, and checked the time.

21 seconds.

It was not unexpected…

Fang Sisi returned to her seat with the Cotton Section Worm and sighed, “I lost so badly.”

Qiao Sang nodded and said, “It was a bit miserable.”

Fire Fang Dog didn’t speak but nodded a few times in agreement.

Fang Sisi: “…”

As a good friend, shouldn’t she be comforting her?!

“However, the Cotton Section Worm is inherently at a disadvantage at this stage. When you cultivate it into a Ba Xue Butterfly, the opponent should not be your match.” Qiao Sang said.

Fang Sisi looked at the plump Cotton Section Worm and was barely comforted.

She hadn’t expected to go far in this competition, only coming to join the fun and gain experience.

Soon, Fang Sisi adjusted her mindset.

She pointed at the match in the seventh group and laughed, “Hahaha, that Shen Mao Turtle is so silly, just standing there foolishly letting others hit it.”

Qiao Sang: “…”

Did she forget that her Cotton Section Worm was also defeated while standing still just now…?

The matches were generally not very exciting.

Most of the spectators were players’ relatives and friends, and as the number of eliminations increased, the stands also emptied considerably.

But soon, the spectators who had just left not long ago heard the discussions and gradually returned to their seats.

“Oh my god, it’s a Little Horned Dragon!”

“Which young master came to play?”

“Didn’t the Host say, his name is Lu You.”

“Among those surnamed Lu in Hanggang, besides the Lu Group, which other family could be so extravagant?”

“The Lu Group is also one of the investors in this competition, right? Is it just for their young master that they invested?”

The F-level Beastmaster battles didn’t attract them, but an unevolved Dragon-type Pet Beast drew them all back.

Qiao Sang stared intently at the Little Horned Dragon on the field.

This was her first time seeing a Dragon-type Pet Beast in real life.

These scales…

These sharp claws…

These horns…

They constantly exuded the scent of money…

The match on the field was not surprising; the Little Horned Dragon won with an absolute advantage.

There’s a reason why Dragon-type is widely recognized as the strongest attribute by most people.

Both its defense and attack power far exceed those of ordinary Pets.

Fortunately, they are rare and develop slowly with long evolution cycles, otherwise, they would truly leave no room for ordinary Yu Beast Masters to survive.

“Player 67, Lu You, just created an impressive victory. It seems he is the seeded player for this competition.” The Commentator praised Lu You.

Qiao Sang agreed with the latter half of the sentence, but the first half contained a lot of exaggeration.

Although the Little Horned Dragon is a Dragon-type Pet, it is also a Beginner Pet.

It was clear that it hadn’t undergone much cultivation time. After two rounds of exchanging ultimate moves, it finally defeated its opponent with the Dragon Claw, a skill with stronger attack power.

Compared to the previous matches, it was exciting, but not impressive enough.

Qiao Sang put down her phone and looked at the video she had just recorded.

If they both continued to win, they would likely become opponents later on.

As a qualified Yu Beast Master, analyzing opponents and devising tactics is also one of the courses.

“Qiao Sang, send me a copy of the video you just recorded. I was so focused on the match that I didn’t record it.” Fang Sisi suddenly said.

“You like Little Horned Dragons too?” Qiao Sang asked.

She didn’t ask this without reason; there had been over 30 matches before this, but Fang Sisi had never thought of recording any videos.

“What? Little Horned Dragons are too ugly, I don’t like them at all! Didn’t you notice the Apricot Mushroom Seed just now? How cute! Especially that cry when it was defeated and fell to the ground, so adorable! Quick, give it to me, I need to watch it again!” Fang Sisi said excitedly.

Qiao Sang: “…”

She forgot that Fang Sisi was a sucker for looks…

…

After several more matches, the first F-level Beastmaster with an Intermediate Pet finally appeared—Player 99, Guo Yiqi.

This was truly an overwhelming battle.

Guo Yiqi’s Ba Du Butterfly flapped its wings, and the scattered poisonous powder knocked out the opponent’s White Sand Fox.

Qiao Sang watched the recorded video and made a note in her memo.

“What do you think of the Ba Du Butterfly?” Fang Sisi spoke up from the side.

Qiao Sang was slightly startled, not expecting Fang Sisi to discuss this with her.

She thought for a moment and said seriously, “Fire-type counters Bug-type but not Poison-type. Fortunately, the Ba Du Butterfly’s poison is not strong, and Fire Fang Dog can use high temperatures to decompose the Ba Du Butterfly’s poisonous powder. However, in this match, the Ba Du Butterfly only used poisonous powder and no other skills. I think if we encounter it, it’s better to strike first and control the rhythm yourself.”

Fang Sisi: “…”

“I wasn’t asking you that. I was asking you what you think the Ba Du Butterfly looks like.”

Qiao Sang: “…”
