Chapter 201: Well, you thick-browed and big-eyed Tiger Pillar, it turns out you are such a person
Actually, the wind hawk and the bee hawk are the same species.
If it can be explained from the perspective of Pokemon, that would be regional forms.
And if one were to use an idiom to describe it, that would be "oranges south of the Huai River become trifoliate oranges to the north."
Tomorrow is the day to participate in the competition; Ye Bai felt a bit excited just thinking about it, wondering what kind of test questions the Zuoweihui would come up with.
"Will they be able to stump me?"
He lay on the bed and fell asleep before long.
Ye Bai was asleep, but some people could not sleep.
They gathered in a small room.
"Damn it, who exactly reported the matter of the small cards to the Zuoweihui? I had planned it all so well, enough to force those powerful Breeders to withdraw from the competition."
"As a result, this plan died before it could even achieve success."
"It hadn't even started for long before it was discovered."
A person wearing a black square mask complained.
"It doesn't matter, our second plan is still in progress."
"There are a total of three hundred and forty Breeders participating in the Yan Country Young Qilin Cup this time."
"This round has a total of two elimination rounds, and the final round will leave one hundred spots to enter the Secret Realm together with the people from the Phoenix Chick Cup to participate in the assessment."
"We must ensure that we are all among these one hundred spots."
"Before that, our plan must not go wrong."
A person wearing a round mask said solemnly.
"Before we enter the finals, we are all partners."
"After the third round, we shall rely on our own abilities."
"I heard that this time, the Phoenix Chick Cup counts team scores."
"The top ten can even be specially recruited into the Pet Beast Research Major at Imperial Capital University."
"This is our opportunity, we cannot hand it over on a silver platter."
The person wearing a triangular mask said lazily.
The next day, the Yan Country Young Qilin Cup officially opened.
"The Yan Kingdom Alliance, the 62nd Young Qilin Cup officially begins."
"First, let our Tiger Pillar come on stage to give a speech."
Tiger Pillar walked up gloomily, with a five-meter-tall Thunder White Tiger standing behind him.
It opened its mouth and let out a deafening sound.
"Students, you are the elites from all corners of the land."
"I am honored to be here to protect everyone."
"I am the Tiger Pillar of the Twelve Pillars of the Nation—Yin Hu, affiliated with the Eastern Azure Dragon Department, commanded by the Azure Dragon Marshal."
"I mainly protect everyone's personal safety."
"During the Young Qilin Cup, if everyone discovers anything abnormal, you can send information to my private email at any time."
"After we investigate and verify it, we will immediately start taking action."
The Thunder White Tiger spat out a deep blue ball of light from its mouth.
The ball of light exploded in mid-air, leaving behind a string of numbers and an email suffix.
"This is my private email."
"Of course, don't secretly send me any inappropriate photos."
The students were all amused by Tiger Pillar's words.
Well, you thick-browed and big-eyed Tiger Pillar, it turns out you are such a person.
"Alright, welcome Tiger Pillar's wonderful speech, now let us send off Tiger Pillar with warm applause."
Thunderous applause erupted in the arena, which took a long time to fade away.
"Everyone, I am Ye Lin, the president of the Young Qilin Cup Zuoweihui."
"Now I will announce the rules of the Young Qilin Cup to everyone."
"The Young Qilin Cup adopts a full-live broadcast method and uses a model of joint supervision."
"This Young Qilin Cup has three stages: potion formulation, pet beast treatment, and the third stage, which we will wait until the end to announce."
"During the competition, it is strictly forbidden to cheat; violators will be punished with a three-year ban from participating in large-scale competitions."
"Of course, according to our supervision mechanism, when it is discovered that someone is cheating, we will definitely wait until that person finishes the competition before we conduct an investigation."
The main purpose of this is not to affect everyone's state of mind.
"Moreover, we will go through a review, and only after having conclusive evidence will we let the contestant undergo an investigation."
Ye Bai remembered that the intelligence said someone reported the first place for cheating.
"The first round of the competition, the topic of the competition is potion formulation."
"Contestants can choose any experimental bench."
"There is a display screen on the experimental bench; after pressing the button next to the display screen, the competition potion topic will be randomly selected."
"Whatever materials you need, place an order directly through the display screen."
"There will be specialized Exotic Beasts to transport the materials for you."
"Please maintain order at the scene and do not have any pushing or trampling incidents."
"Our scoring for the first round of assessment will be based on the difficulty of the potion, the production time of the potion, and the quality of the potion, with a full score of one hundred points."
"Alright, the first round of the Young Qilin Cup officially begins."
After hearing the command to begin.
The students rushed one after another to the nearest laboratory benches.
Ye Bai, however, was at the back, unhurried.
There was nothing worth fighting over; the instruments and equipment on the laboratory benches were all the same.
In any case, the laboratory benches were calculated according to the number of people, so there was definitely enough for everyone.
Ye Bai waited until everyone else had finished choosing before slowly walking toward an empty laboratory bench.
The equipment on the laboratory bench was very complete, all of it high-precision equipment.
Ye Bai then pressed the button near the display screen.
The names of the potions on the display screen began to rotate rapidly.
Finally, it stopped on the interface for Strength Potion.
Only a fourth-rank Breeder has the ability to complete this kind of potion alone.
There are dozens of formulas for Strength Potion, and the effect of each formula is different.
The purpose of this Young Kylin Cup Zuoweihui is to use the existing materials in a limited way to concoct potions.
This is also an examination question specifically designed to select Breeders to participate in the Beast Tide impact at the border.
Breeders need to use limited raw materials from multiple formulas to concoct the most effective potion.
Of course, if they really arrived at the border, there would not be so much laboratory equipment available for them to concoct potions.
Everything can only rely on hands and eyes.
Ye Bai turned on the computer and clicked directly into the inventory in the system.
He scanned the list at a glance and mentally prepared the medicinal materials he wanted.
However, after his peripheral vision swept over a treasure, Ye Bai was suddenly stunned.
There was actually a treasure of this level here—the cicada slough of a Spring-Autumn Cicada.
Ye Bai decisively chose the cicada slough of the Spring-Autumn Cicada.
The Spring-Autumn Cicada is a very special time-based Exotic Beast; ordinary people cannot see its traces, but every time it leaps through time, it inevitably leaves behind a cicada slough.
This thing has always been in short supply; he did not expect it to be brought out for just a single Young Kylin Cup competition.
Not long after, the sound of flapping wings came from the air.
A person-sized Gale Eagle descended from high in the sky, with a Resource Box tied to its feet.
Inside was the raw material for Ye Bai to concoct the potion.
Ye Bai opened the Resource Box and began to count the medicinal materials; after confirming there were no errors, the Gale Eagle gently flapped its wings and flew into the sky.
Only then did Ye Bai open the Resource Box and take out the cicada slough of the Spring-Autumn Cicada.
This cicada slough was withered on one side and flourishing on the other, embodying the Dao of Wither and Flourish.
Streams of icy cold energy surged into his Insight Eye.
Ye Bai immediately knew that the evolution materials for his Insight Eye must include the Spring-Autumn Cicada.
The method for processing the cicada slough was also very simple: grind the cicada slough of the Spring-Autumn Cicada into powder.
After Ye Bai processed all the materials, he took out a test tube and skillfully set up a potion extraction device.
He needed to extract the effective components from it, then mix them together to concoct the potion.
The whole process seemed simple, but it was actually quite difficult.
Because the temperature for extracting each component is different, sometimes even a difference of 0.1 degrees can lead to a massive discrepancy.
This is the precision and rigor of experimentation.
Time passed second by second, and Ye Bai's experiment had reached the critical final step.
After he added the cicada slough of the Spring-Autumn Cicada, the originally azure-blue Strength Potion instantly turned blood-red.
Only then did Ye Bai let out a long sigh of relief; he raised his hand to signal that he had finished.
An Exotic Beast shaped like a black cat walked over, with an Identity Card hanging around its neck that read "On-site Staff."
It had four ears and four eyes.
Its four eyes looked Ye Bai up and down, and it licked its own Zhua.
"Number, name, what is the name of the concocted potion?"
"How much time did it take from configuration to completion?"
After Ye Bai answered one by one, this cat-like Exotic Beast told Ye Bai to stick a label on the potion bottle and make a mark on the bottle body.
After doing all this, the cat-like Exotic Beast opened its mouth wide and swallowed the potion bottle in one gulp.
"Alright, your potion has been submitted. Please stay in this position and wait patiently. After the Judges have finished their appraisal, your results will naturally appear on the huge screen in the plaza."
The cat walked away slowly; just a moment ago, a student two tables in front of Ye Bai raised their hand to signal they wanted to submit a potion.
Ye Bai understood the entire process.
The Strength Potion would be sent to the Inspection Department for sampling and testing.
First, the instruments would make a judgment.
Only then would it be submitted to the Judges along with the inspection report.
After Ye Bai finished the potion configuration, he sat at the laboratory bench and began to zone out.
Before long, Ye Bai's name appeared on the display screen in the plaza.
Just to avoid disturbing everyone, Ye Bai's results were directly masked.
Only after everyone had finished their experiments would this mask be lifted.
The reason the Young Kylin Cup Zuoweihui did this was to prevent other candidates from becoming discouraged after seeing a high score appear.
For novice Breeders, this would be a huge blow.
Time passed minute by minute, and it was unknown how much time had gone by.
After everyone had handed in their papers, Ye Bai's score was finally displayed, and it was actually a perfect score of one hundred.
All the students who saw Ye Bai's results were immediately in an uproar.
"Teacher, I do not accept this result; I want to report this person named Ye Bai for cheating under my real name."
"The Strength Potion is a Tier 4 potion, and I remember he finished it in less than an hour after the exam started."
"I hope the Zuoweihui will conduct a thorough investigation."
Immediately, one person stood out.
He believed that Ye Bai was a person with connections who had obtained the exam questions in advance.
Begging for votes, we've already reached chapter two hundred.
