Chapter 329: Global Researcher Competition

The Battle of Nantianmen has finally begun.

However, Ye Bai is in the other hemisphere, so even if he knows, he cannot quench a fire with water from afar.

After all, two of the Twelve Pillars of the Nation, plus three of the Twenty-Eight Mansions, are at Nantianmen Fortress, and many veterans have returned to join the battle; Ye Bai even used the name of Y to inform Jiao Mu Jiao of the Lava Dragon Turtle's weakness.

Logically speaking, there should be no problem, and the little Lava Dragon Turtle should be easily handled, but Ye Bai still feels some faint unease.

Could it be that the Lava Dragon Turtle has some other trump card?

Ye Bai can only hope now that everything will be safe and sound.

The first round of the competition is about to begin soon.

The global Researcher Competition naturally cannot test some basic knowledge.

The entire competition is divided into three rounds in total.

Scoring is conducted across three rounds: healing Pet Beasts, cultivating Pet Beasts, and surviving on Huangdao.

Each round only announces the list of those who qualify, not the point rankings.

After the three rounds, the points obtained in each round are added together to be ranked, finally resulting in the overall ranking.

Since the Beautiful Country emphasizes free competition, although they are grouped by country, each country's contestants are independent individuals.

Before the competition started, Maige gathered everyone together.

The implication in his words was to have Ye Bai unite his compatriots, wanting to persuade Ye Bai from the moral high ground to strive to get more Yan Country students into the next round.

This way, Principal Maige's reputation would look a bit better.

Ye Bai nodded in agreement, but inwardly he did not think much of it.

Just kidding, this is an international competition; how could there be any favoritism here?

It is truly too naive to think so.

The opening ceremony was very grand; peace doves were released, and the mayor of New York City, Tuskidell, began his speech.

This guy has great eloquence, and what he said was simple and easy to understand, winning cheers and favor from many people.

"Now, I announce that the 67th Global Researcher Competition has officially begun."

"I invite Mr. Delaine, the Chairman of the Researcher Competition Zuoweihui, to come on stage to give a speech."

Chairman Delaine is an old man with white hair and a beard.

He is wearing a crisp suit and a monocle.

A parrot-type Pet Beast landed on his shoulder.

"Ladies and gentlemen, contestants who have come to compete, good morning everyone."

"Today is a very meaningful day because the Researcher Competition has started."

"For this competition, we are divided into three rounds in total."

"I declare in advance that researchers have no borders, and we will give scores in an objective, fair, and just manner."

"The first round of this competition will begin with healing Pet Beasts."

"Pet Beasts will be randomly distributed to each contestant; now, please enter the venue in an orderly manner."

"By the way, I want to remind everyone."

"During the competition, you need to wear this Bracelet."

The Chairman of the Zuoweihui took out a black Bracelet.

Under the sunlight, this Bracelet emitted a black, glossy halo.

"The Bracelet will make it impossible for everyone to open their Pet Beast Space, and naturally, you will not be able to release your Pet Beasts."

"This is also to maintain fairness and justice for everyone; I hope everyone can cooperate and understand."

"In addition, during the competition, surveillance will lock onto everyone's movements throughout; please, absolutely do not pull any small tricks."

"Once someone is found cheating, that person will be immediately expelled from the competition and banned forever."

The Global Researcher Competition is a heavyweight competition, and the contestants who can come here to compete are all the MVPs of their own countries; naturally, they will not pull any tricks on this.

This is the pride that belongs to the strong.

"Next, please collect your Bracelets and wear them on your hands."

"We will check them one by one; this Bracelet is not allowed to be taken off during the competition."

"Once the Bracelet is taken off, it will make a beep-beep-beep sound."

"When we check the surveillance and find video of someone taking off the Bracelet, they will be warned once; after three warnings, you will be expelled from the competition."

Delaine emphasized solemnly, hoping that there will be no accidents in this competition.

Ye Bai feels that this competition is somewhat similar to the Yan Country competition.

It seems the Yan Country competition was modeled after the flow of the world championship.

"Healing Pet Beasts—in this regard, I am an expert."

To be honest, if he hadn't apprenticed under Jiang Dashi, Ye Bai's strength in healing Pet Beasts might not have been so formidable.

The collection of books at Heaven Gate has already encompassed all the Exotic Beasts they have discovered.

It can be said that in terms of healing, he has never feared anyone.

After Ye Bai put on the Bracelet, he could feel that the connection between himself and his Pet Beast Space had been blocked.

He arrived at the Laboratory where his number plate was located.

The layout of the Laboratory is about the same as it was during the Yan Country competition.

One places an order in the Laboratory, and there will be specialized personnel to deliver the materials.

The computer screen displayed over a hundred languages in total; one just needs to switch to the desired one.

Soon, a Beast Card appeared beside Ye Bai.

Ye Bai first examined this Beast Card carefully; this is a Tier 4 Dark Night Wolf, and this type of Exotic Beast is considered a distant relative of the Nether Wolf.

Its sleek, glossy black fur serves as the best camouflage once night falls.

In places where Dark Night Wolves haunt, the poultry there will disappear for no reason.

After Ye Bai received the Beast Card, he did not immediately release the Dark Night Wolf; once he confirmed the Beast Card was in a sealed state, he directly opened the Scanner.

He needed to prioritize determining the current injuries of the Dark Night Wolf.

The Scanner quickly detected the current injury status of the Dark Night Wolf.

Multiple parts of its body were in a state of comminuted fracture.

In this state, the Dark Night Wolf possessed extreme aggression.

In the shadows, Anjilina watched Ye Bai's figure.

"Leader, your plan is truly brilliant."

"Assigning such a thorny Exotic Beast to Ye Bai—just performing the surgery would take Ye Bai two or three hours; so what if the score is high?"

"This not only consumes time but also consumes energy; it is very easy to be dragged down."

Anjilina's subordinate beside her praised her.

"We cannot let our guard down; according to the results we have tallied, the score of the first round is very important."

"This will seriously affect the subsequent rankings."

"The first round of assessment reflects the act of saving lives and healing the wounded; a researcher with exquisite medical skills will receive the favor of more big shots."

"I need you to search for Exotic Beasts with strange illnesses and dump them all on Ye Bai; we must reduce a powerful competitor for our country's contestants."

"Go, do it more discreetly."

Anjilina picked up a red wine glass and swirled it.

"Ye Bai, don't blame me; the Beautiful Country must win first place, no one can stop it, that is what I said." A terrifying cold glint appeared in her eyes.

After Ye Bai saw the data of the Dark Night Wolf, he knew that he must have been targeted by someone.

An injury of this degree belongs to the moderate-to-severe level; if not treated well, it is very easy to turn into a critical condition.

This kind of Exotic Beast should not have come to the assessment site and become a member of the assessment.

Ye Bai knew very well in his heart that it should be that the Beautiful Country did not want him to come out on top, so they were openly playing a scheme.

The purpose was to delay his time and consume his energy.

Even if the score for treating this Dark Night Wolf should be very high, the contestants from the Beautiful Country could completely treat Exotic Beasts of average difficulty quickly and obtain more points.

"The Dark Night Wolf is in a state of extreme pain; in this state, I still have to guard against the Dark Night Wolf suddenly lashing out and hurting people."

Ye Bai quickly selected quite a few medicinal herbs based on the Dark Night Wolf's injuries, and he even specially fetched some Heavenly Silkworm Silk.

This kind of silk is somewhat similar to absorbable thread, but it is finer than absorbable thread and is specifically used to treat comminuted fractures.

"Come out, Dark Night Wolf."

Ye Bai unsealed the Beast Card and released the Dark Night Wolf from the Beast Card.

Its body was as big as a small calf, its whole body radiated black, glossy hair, and several of its feet were twisted to varying degrees.

Its eyes were scarlet and covered with bloodshot veins; it bared its fangs at Ye Bai, and its sharp teeth radiated a cold glint under the illumination of the Laboratory's incandescent lights.

It wished it could rush up immediately and bite off Ye Bai's head with its teeth.

"Not good."

As a member of the Judge panel, Doctor Zhubinuo kept his gaze tightly fixed on the Laboratory where Ye Bai was located.

When he saw the Dark Night Wolf come out of the Beast Card, its muscles tightly tensed, Doctor Zhubinuo knew something bad had happened.

This Dark Night Wolf was planning to launch an attack.

He secretly broke into a cold sweat in his palms.

He hoped Ye Bai could handle it properly.

Otherwise, he would completely lose his competition qualification.

Although Ye Bai was on the Beautiful Country's assassination blacklist, the people of the Beautiful Country would absolutely not make a move at this time; wouldn't that be clearly telling others that they were the ones who did it?

Just as the Dark Night Wolf was planning to launch an attack, Ye Bai opened a bottle of potion, and a rich scent radiated from it, quickly spreading throughout the entire Laboratory.

At this moment, the Dark Night Wolf revealed an extremely intoxicated expression.

That expression was just like a cat smelling catnip.

The Dark Night Wolf did not even resist, directly lying on the ground and exposing its belly.

This is a way for a Dark Night Wolf to show submission to humans.

It also choked a few times, seemingly expressing its grievances.

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, I will help you."

Ye Bai also discovered that one side of the Dark Night Wolf's cheek was swollen.

"You must have a cavity here."

"Remember to eat well and brush your teeth well."

"Come, open your mouth, it will be fine very soon."

The Dark Night Wolf endured the severe pain and opened its mouth, only to see a sharp cold light flash by.

A tooth that had been more than half corroded, with its enamel turned black, flew out and landed heavily on the ground.

This tooth was about the size of a thumb, considered to be in the position of the Dark Night Wolf's back molar.

The inside was already corroded and pitted; if Ye Bai did not deal with it, the Dark Night Wolf would have gone mad from the pain because of the tooth.

A stream of pus and blood flowed out from the Dark Night Wolf's mouth, and it felt great at this moment.

"How is it? Not so afraid anymore, right?"

"My name is Ye Yidao, and I specialize in treating Exotic Beasts."

"Next, I will cut open your fur and stitch up the broken bones; during this process, do not move around, and do not make any strange sounds."

"Rest assured, my technique is very good."

"Now, close your eyes."

The Dark Night Wolf obediently closed its eyes, and Ye Bai walked over to the place where its limbs were twisted.

He used a marker to draw a dot on it, and then began the surgery.

Ye Bai used Tweezers to extract the white bone fragments one by one, then used hands that moved like fluttering butterflies to stitch the fragments together.

Before long, Ye Bai had finished replacing one of the Dark Night Wolf's injured legs.

"My god, has Ye Bai performed many experiments?"

"Why is it as simple as drinking water for him to treat the Dark Night Wolf?"

"Could it be that he possesses some rapid treatment techniques?"

Before long, Ye Bai had finished stitching the bone fragments, and a complete thigh bone appeared.

The Dark Night Wolf quietly opened its eyes, but was frightened by the Surgical Knife, so it hurriedly closed its eyes again.

In less than half an hour, Ye Bai had completed the Dark Night Wolf's treatment.

He had the Dark Night Wolf consume a Recovery Potion, and the Dark Night Wolf scampered into the Beast Card; it did not want to stay in this ghostly place for even a second longer.

Soon, a number appeared on the Bracelet on Ye Bai's hand, and this number was something only Ye Bai could see.

It seems this is the score.

It seems finishing early is still useful.

Ye Bai continued to carry out experiments.

Anjilina's mouth was wide open; she truly could not believe that Ye Bai's surgery speed was actually this fast.

It was completed in less than half an hour.

"Could this guy be cheating?"

Anjilina muttered; she was the only one in the entire office, and the sound of her heavy breathing could clearly be heard.

"What kind of genius monster has Yan Country given birth to."

"Continue according to our plan; drag Ye Bai down completely. I don't believe that some difficult and complicated cases won't be able to stump you."

Anjilina said through gritted teeth.

Ye Bai's knowledge base was very broad, so no matter what Pet Beast was sent over, Ye Bai could explain the ins and outs of it immediately, and this immediately distinguished his level.

More and more complex experiments were handed to Ye Bai, but Ye Bai handled them in an orderly manner and completed the tasks in the shortest possible time.

"It seems now that Ye Bai has the ability to simplify the complex; his knowledge base is truly too formidable."

"He is truly worthy of being Su Qingxian's grand-disciple; he really has some skills."

Zhubinuo Boshi said with immense emotion.

"I should let him see what I am currently researching; I want to extend a research invitation to him."

"Once this thing is successfully researched, it will be a form of protection for all of humanity."

The duration of the first round of assessment is three days.

Inside the Laboratory, there was a small room with a bed and a place to wash up; three meals were delivered on time by staff, and although they were not as delicious as the presidential suite set meals at the Sail Hotel, they were still considered to be of a medium-to-high standard.

It seems the Zuoweihui really went to great lengths for this competition.

Within these three days, Ye Bai treated a total of 121 Pet Beasts; judging by the quantity, he should be in the number one position for the first round.
