Chapter 61: Scam call

Regional Competition.

As the name suggests, it is the largest competition in a region.

Just in the Yuhua Region where they are located, there are 11 provinces.

And Hanggang City, where they are currently, is just one of the 12 prefecture-level cities in Zhejiang Province, which is one of those 11 provinces.

There are two conditions to participate in the Regional Competition.

First, one must be under 40 years old and have been certified by the Alliance as a C-level Beastmaster.

This does not mean that all participants in the Regional Competition are C-level Beastmasters under 40 years old.

Rather, these are the minimum age and level requirements.

The age has an upper limit, but the Yu Beast Master’s level has a lower limit.

Second, one must obtain qualification for participation certified by the Yu Beast Center in their provincial capital.

It is more troublesome to obtain this qualification.

One must pass the participation assessments of all prefecture-level cities in their province within one year.

Taking Zhehai Province as an example, the Yu Beast Center in each of the 12 prefecture-level cities has a department specifically set up to assess qualifications.

The assessment content varies, and each Judge’s judgment standard is different.

If you are lucky and encounter a soft-hearted Judge, they might let you pass by catching a small thief.

If you are unlucky and encounter a strict Judge, it’s not impossible for them to ask you to steal a Dragon-type extraordinary creature’s egg.

Zhehai Province is still relatively good, with only 12 prefecture-level cities, averaging out to exactly one month to complete the assessment in one city.

However, Yongwu Province, which is near Zhehai Province, has a full 18 prefecture-level cities.

Calculated, there are only 20 days to complete the assessment in one city, which is simply not something a normal Yu Beast Master can do.

In short, any Yu Beast Master who can pass all prefecture-level city participation assessments in their province within a year is no ordinary person.

Sha Duo, as a contestant who just participated in this year’s Yuhua Regional Competition and achieved a respectable ranking, actually said in front of so many people that he looked forward to encountering Qiao Sang in future Regional Competitions.

This was simply a super high recognition of her.

For a moment, the barrage on the platform’s live stream exploded.

[Is Sha Duo serious?]

[Am I about to witness the rise of a supernova?]

[To be fair, she is really strong.]

[Even if she can participate in the Regional Competition, Sha Duo will be over 40 by then, right?]

[You in front are really mean, but I like it.]

[Tomorrow’s news is set.]

On the guest seats.

“Although Qiao Sang is young, her combat experience looks very seasoned.”

“That retreat of the clone was absolutely brilliant; I didn’t even see her give a command on the field, it was clearly a method designed before the match.”

“And that Fire Fang Dog, the coordination between her and it doesn’t look like they just contracted recently at all.”

“What do you all think about having her do a live stream?” At this moment, the young female guest who had not spoken until now asked.

“Live stream? What for? Maybe she has some popularity now, but once she loses the next match, she’ll be forgotten.”

“What do you all think of the Fire Fang Dog wearing sunglasses?” the young female guest asked.

“Very handsome,” the guest next to her praised.

“I just opened an online store selling sunglasses. What if, at this critical juncture, I invite her to do a live stream, or more accurately, invite the Fire Fang Dog to do a live stream? What do you all think?” the young female guest continued to ask.

Everyone looked in unison at the Fire Fang Dog in the arena wearing purple triangular sunglasses.

“It feels… actually not bad,” the guest next to her replied after a moment of hesitation.

…

As soon as Qiao Sang returned to the audience with her Fire Fang Dog, Bai Yunmiao took out a pen and a pink lace-edged A4 paper from her cross-body bag and handed them to her, excitedly saying, “Qiao Genius, quickly sign this for me.”

“How do you have everything in your bag?” Qiao Sang couldn’t help but complain.

“Hehe, actually, this pen and paper were prepared for Sha Duo, but I didn’t get a chance to use them, did I?” Bai Yunmiao said sheepishly.

Qiao Sang: “…”

“Your parents arguing isn’t just an excuse for you to come here, is it?” Qiao Sang asked suspiciously.

“Otherwise, why would I call you Qiao Genius? You guessed it so quickly,” Bai Yunmiao said, blushing. “I recently became a fan of Sha Duo, and I happened to hear he was coming as a guest for the Bai Xin Competition, so I came.”

Qiao Sang: “…”

So, participating in the competition was all for someone else…

“Let’s not talk about that, Qiao Genius, quickly sign this for me. Since Sha Duo said so, if you participate in the Regional Competition in the future, your signature will definitely be valuable. I have to quickly get you to sign one now,” Bai Yunmiao shoved the pen and paper over.

Qiao Sang was not pretentious. She took them and was about to start writing when she suddenly thought of something. She looked up and asked, “How many sheets of this paper did you bring? If I sign it, will you still have paper when you meet Sha Duo?”

Bai Yunmiao froze for a moment, reached out, and pulled the paper and pen back, laughing awkwardly, “Haha, if you didn’t say anything, I would have forgotten. I only brought this one sheet.”

Qiao Sang: “…”

…

After watching a day of competitions, Qiao Sang returned home to review her strategy.

Dragon-type Pet is indeed a Dragon-type Pet. If she hadn’t gained the advantage first at the beginning, with Little Horned Dragon’s offense and defense, this match would have been a tough fight.

In today’s match, she underestimated Little Horned Dragon’s defense, thinking that Fire Fang would be enough to end the match.

If Little Horned Dragon hadn’t crashed headfirst at the end, but instead used Iron Head to shake off the Fire Fang Dog first and then create distance, it probably could have fought longer.

Ultimately, the Fire Fang Dog’s attack power was still insufficient.

The remaining contestants all possess intermediate Pets. No matter who she faces, she has no advantage and can only rely on tactics to solve it.

The three Yu Beast Masters with two intermediate Pets, whom she had researched yesterday, have all successfully advanced. If she meets them, it will be difficult to win even with tactics.

Sometimes, absolute strength cannot be compensated for by tactics.

If she’s lucky tomorrow and doesn’t meet one of those three first, she might still have a chance to aim for a higher ranking, otherwise…

The pushing motion on her calf pulled Qiao Sang back from her thoughts.

She looked down and found the Fire Fang Dog holding a phone in its mouth, pushing her with its paw.

The phone in the Fire Fang Dog’s mouth had its screen lit up and was vibrating, making the fur on its face tremble.

It turned out someone had called.

Qiao Sang suppressed a smile and took the phone to look. It was an unknown number.

She swiped right and hung up the call.

The next second, the phone vibrated again.

It was the same number.

Qiao Sang didn’t hesitate and hung up the call again.

She didn’t have a habit of answering unknown calls.

But the very next second after she hung up, the screen lit up again.

Qiao Sang frowned slightly and pressed the answer button.

“Is this Miss Qiao Sang?” A young female voice came from the other end of the phone.

“It’s me, who is this?”

“I’m someone who believes in you. Are you interested in discussing a business deal worth over a hundred thousand? I was at… today…”

Qiao Sang lowered the phone from her ear, quickly hung up, and blacklisted the number.

It was indeed a scam call.

Trying to scam her, they really picked the wrong person.

To think she had also been tempered by society for a period in her previous life, how could she be so easily deceived?

On the other side, in front of the floor-to-ceiling window on the 37th floor of Yijian Building.

A young woman stared blankly at her phone, the call disconnected and no longer able to get through.

Which part of this went wrong…

Happy Children’s Day everyone~
