Chapter 417: Bullying People to This Extent!

Ye Bai discovered with surprise that, in addition to the security and judges for the Young Qilin Cup, even the questions for the Young Qilin Cup had to be decided by him.

What on earth is Song Fu'an doing!

Is he treating him like an ox or a horse?

This is just too damn bullying.

Ye Bai wants to eat someone right now, he desperately wants to eat someone, he wants to eat someone until they are bloody.

Damn it, could it be that his treatment of the Saber-Toothed Tiger Emperor was too dazzling, and he was pulled in by Song Fu'an to do manual labor?

Originally, Ye Bai wanted to refuse flatly, but in the face of a substantial reward, even his proud backbone bent a little.

Even a man of integrity bows to money.

"Ye Bai, the payment and such have been transferred over; if you have any other opinions, we can discuss them further!"

"In short, just state your requirements, and if I can agree to them, I will."

The bold and thick-browed Song Fu'an now looked much more refined in Ye Bai's eyes.

Indeed, the power of money is infinite, and even Ye Bai is no exception.

After all, money is needed everywhere!

He was still planning to continue running his Breeding House to rake in money!

"Since this Young Qilin Cup has been separated from the Phoenix Chick Cup, we have to reconsider many of the events."

"The events we discussed last time were completely rejected by the higher-ups because the judges involved were implicated in corruption and bribery."

"That is why I can only turn to you for help now."

"You are also a head judge for this Young Qilin Cup, and you were once the champion of the Young Qilin Cup and the World-Class Researcher Competition, so your words carry a lot of weight."

"The competition events you design have a higher probability of being approved by the higher-ups."

Song Fu'an explained; if he hadn't been desperate, he wouldn't have begged Ye Bai.

The Young Qilin Cup was about to start soon, and if rumors that the Young Qilin Cup was failing spread at this time, it would have a certain impact on Song Fu'an's reputation.

Song Fu'an could have advanced further, but the prerequisite was that this year's Young Qilin Cup had no errors, otherwise he risked being dismissed early.

The security force this time was extremely powerful: the Sun Flower Cleaning Company and the Beast Mercenary Group.

Even without the Twenty-Eight Mansions participating in security this time, Song Fu'an felt that the security was exceptionally strong.

Ye Bai thought about it; the higher-ups, at the very most, were no greater than the Qilin Marshal.

Since the Qilin Marshal had already entrusted him with full authority to handle the matters of the Young Qilin Cup, there was a high probability that the competition events he decided on would be approved, so this deal was not a loss.

Thus, Ye Bai made an expression that said, "Brother, rest assured, leave it to me."

For Ye Bai, this matter was truly a piece of cake.

Song Fu'an was moved to tears; this huge sum of money was not spent in vain, and his anxious heart finally settled.

Just now, Song Fu'an had a flash of inspiration.

Because the judges participating in the competition had been arrested, the rewards for inviting those judges had been left idle.

So Song Fu'an took a gamble and used those funds as Ye Bai's reward.

Sure enough, Ye Bai agreed, and the difficulty decreased significantly.

However, Song Fu'an also told Ye Bai that their budget was running low, and the Pet Beasts originally scheduled had been affected by a Hurricane and could not be transported.

Since Ye Bai happened to run a Breeding House, Ye Bai also needed to prepare in terms of Pet Beasts.

Ye Bai......

This calculation really backfired on him.

Soon, after a series of operations by Ye Bai, the content of the Young Qilin Cup changed slightly, but it was the same old thing in a new bottle.

The first competition event was still "Guess, Guess, Guess."

It was just that the title of the question was changed to "Research on Methods and Feasibility of Assessing the Danger of Exotic Beasts to Humans."

The second competition event was ordinary Pet Beast breeding, only the breeding cycle was shortened slightly.

According to the normal progress of the Young Qilin Cup, the breeding cycle for Pet Beasts was about a month, but Ye Bai changed it to fifteen days.

Ye Bai would distribute eggs of Black Flea Insects and Gloom Mantises to each contestant, letting them breed excellent adults and see how to evolve them into more suitable individuals.

Actually, Ye Bai had two considerations for doing this.

The first aspect was how to hatch Black Flea Insects and Gloom Mantises more quickly.

The second aspect was how to evolve these two types of Exotic Beasts, and subsequently cultivate more powerful Parasites.

They needed to cultivate them based on the characteristics of the Parasites, allowing them to actively attack their hosts.

This was Ye Bai's idea, which could provide strong support for his experiments.

After all, although he could view the evolution routes of these Pet Beasts through the Truth Eye, he lacked the most important experimental data to support it.

And the oxen and horses—no, the researchers—of this competition could provide Ye Bai with strong support.

This was why Ye Bai set the second theme as this.

The third theme was actually to test the attack intensity of these Parasites, thereby giving corresponding scores.

Given Ye Bai's long list of titles, the higher-level departments quickly approved the Zuoweihui's project.

Not long after, the Young Qilin Cup competition began.

There were quite a few more contestants this year than in Ye Bai's year, a full four hundred people.

With more people, the competition was bound to be exceptionally fierce.

This also brought tremendous pressure to the security team and the Zuoweihui.

The contestants of the Young Qilin Cup were staying at the Sail Hotel in Tianhai City.

This Sail Hotel was not owned by the same boss as the one in the Beautiful Country; it just happened to have the same name.

A large number of massive Sun Flower Clones were stationed in every room of the Sail Hotel, disguised as harmless sunflowers, secretly protecting the safety of the contestants.

Even the perimeter and lobby of the Sail Hotel were covered in brilliant, golden sunflowers.

The Beast Mercenary Group would serve as a hidden line of defense, protecting the safety of the contestants.

Ye Bai inquired about the security work for the Youlin Cup and managed everything in an orderly fashion.

However, Ye Bai still worried that the Necromancer and Ling Shengzi would secretly infiltrate the Youlin Cup, and he still felt a lingering sense of unease.

For this competition, if he wanted to be completely at ease, he had to use the Information System to find out who Ling Shengzi and the Necromancer had disguised themselves as.

Ling Shengzi was a veteran Seventh Rank powerhouse, and the Necromancer had even pushed through to the Eighth Rank.

If these two were allowed to join forces, they might turn the entire Youlin Cup upside down.

This would have a very negative impact on Ye Bai's reputation.

Regarding this, Ye Bai's idea was to take precautions; the best approach was to use the Information System to identify the disguises of Ling Shengzi and the Necromancer.

Only by dealing with these two from the source could the Youlin Cup be held smoothly, truly achieving a win-win situation for everyone.

Ye Bai had many thoughts in his mind, but his biggest thought was whether he could make these two guys stay here forever.

By early morning, new information had refreshed, and this batch of information was quite powerful.

【1. Ling Shengzi can split his own Soul, placing Soul Fragments into the bodies of parasitized humans, allowing him to subtly manipulate the parasitized humans and alter their cognition.】

【2. The Necromancer is proficient in the Soul Summoning Technique and also skilled at manipulating bones; he can place his own bones, crafted from Refined Gold, into human bodies to control humans to work for him.】

【3. Every bone of the Necromancer is engraved with Undead Prayers; these Undead Prayers originate from the Undead Bible, which is the reason he can summon an army of the undead. Each of his bones is equivalent to a top-tier undead array.】

【4. The Necromancer calling upon the cadres of the Gospel Society to help him attack the Haoshen Abyss is primarily for an unknown secret, and this secret is that the Haoshen Abyss contains the mausoleum of a legendary lich, and the Adamantine Scepter in the Necromancer's hand is actually the key to opening the mausoleum.】

【5. Ling Shengzi's personality is relatively laid-back; he is more afraid of becoming a sacrifice for the Trinity Project. Ling Shengzi possesses the ability of precognitive dreaming, though this ability is sometimes effective and sometimes not.】

Besides the Gospel Society and the Resurrection Society, there should be members of other underground organizations wanting to sneak in and abduct Breeders.

Therefore, Ye Bai had to think of a foolproof plan.

The Necromancer's primary motive for being keen on attacking the Haoshen Abyss is to obtain the treasures within the legendary lich's mausoleum, thereby advancing to the Ninth Rank or even becoming an even more powerful existence.

As for why they are obsessed with infiltrating this Youlin Cup, it is mainly to seize some special talents through a Blood Sacrifice ritual.

This is likely a necessary condition for the Necromancer to enter the legendary lich's mausoleum.

Days passed one by one, and before long, the National Youlin Cup Competition was about to be held.

At this time, Song Fu'an gathered a group of people from the Zuoweihui to hold a summary meeting.

The theme of the meeting was to check for gaps and make up for deficiencies.

"I will offer two suggestions here!"

"Anti-cheating is also the focus of our competition this time; if we are not rigorous, it will be extremely unfair to the contestants."

"Here, I suggest that every contestant should go through a security check when participating in the competition, using equipment to detect if they are carrying any cheat sheets."

"Of course, sealing the contestants' Pet Beast Space is also something we must do."

"However, we cannot paint everyone with the same brush!"

"In case a Youlin Cup contestant encounters trouble, they can use the power of their Pet Beast to protect themselves."

After listening, Song Fu'an nodded heavily: "We have already considered this and will use a Metal Detector to conduct the inspection."

"Once it is discovered that a contestant is hiding metal in their body, if it is found to be related to cheating, their results will be immediately disqualified."

"Does anyone else have any opinions? Raise your hand!"

At this moment, Ye Bai actually had an opinion.

"Chairman Song, I really do have an addition; I hope to use a Nano Metal Detector to test the contestants!"

After hearing Ye Bai's words, Song Fu'an hesitated for a moment and asked Ye Bai: "Can you tell me why you want to do this?"

It was well known that there were only a few Nano Metal Detectors in the Yan Country, and they were rare existences.

Currently, only the Dudu Daxue Shiyanshi had one ready-to-use, and the professor inside treasured it dearly.

If one were to touch their treasure, they might even fight Song Fu'an to the death.

"Of course I have a reason, but there are many people here with many opinions; do you really want me to say it here?"

Ye Bai hinted with a smile.

Only then did Song Fu'an realize that his question was still somewhat inappropriate.

The Necromancer had been feeling quite pleased with himself lately because some emerging liches had been born within his massive undead army.

These were one of the few high-rank units in his undead army.

Even the original Necromancer had evolved from these ugly liches.

And in his Laboratory, he was currently dissecting a human.

This human's consciousness was still clear; he could feel a sharp bone knife slicing through his belly, creating an extremely tiny wound.

The Necromancer snapped off one of his own thumb bones and inserted it directly into the human's wound.

The intense pain caused the man to instantly break out in a cold sweat; he rolled his eyes back in pain and fainted on the spot.

At this, the Necromancer regretfully put down the bone knife.

He looked at the fine skin before him, the youthful and vibrant body, the golden hair, and the emerald green pupils.

He was one of the contestants of the Youlin Cup, but his luck was not very good; while participating in some outdoor activities, he disturbed the Necromancer's mood, which led the Necromancer to the idea of turning him into a puppet, never to be reincarnated for all eternity.

However, there were quite a few difficulties in implementing it.

For the Necromancer to manipulate a human, he must possess a part of his own body.

That is why he severed a part of his own finger to serve as the key to controlling humans or Exotic Beasts.

This was the true reason the Necromancer stood firm and undefeated.

It is just that Refined Gold is a product of purified gold, possessing excellent magical ductility.

He had specifically replaced all the bones in his body, substituting them with Refined Gold, which not only increased his own defensive capabilities but also improved his spell-casting speed.

"This time, I will insert this Refined Gold finger bone into this human's body; a standard Metal Detector cannot detect this kind of thing."

"Even if it can be detected, it would require high-precision Detection Instruments. The Zuoweihui has held this event so many times and has never once used such equipment; I should be able to muddle through."

"As long as I obtain the magic inheritance within the legendary lich's mausoleum, my strength will also increase significantly."

The necromancer said with absolute certainty.

However, when the necromancer walked into the competition venue, he suddenly discovered an extra-large instrument placed at the entrance.

The necromancer was instantly stunned.

Damn it, why does this thing look so much like the ultra-precision Metal Detector in my Laboratory?

Is this thing mass-produced?

It's a lie, this thing must be a fake.

The security for this year's Young Qilin Cup was not strict, so the necromancer felt he should be able to easily sneak in.

But the facts were exactly the opposite of his prediction; Ye Bai had utilized the Information System to conduct ultra-precision testing.

Very quickly, the contestant manipulated by the necromancer was so frightened by the piercing buzzing sound that he sat down on the ground with a thud.

Ye Bai had once said that any human who caused the Metal Detector to buzz should be apprehended immediately and locked directly in the dark room to extract information from them.

It was just that Ye Bai hadn't expected that the body the necromancer was Parasite-ing could actually come back to life!
