Chapter 52: Didn't Dress Up in Vain

"One move! Only used one move! Sha Duo, how do you view this match?" the middle-aged commentator opened his mouth.

A one-move finish is nothing special in a match of this level.

The duration is too short, and the atmosphere is not enough; the audience can't see anything professional. This is where the roles of the commentator and the guest come out.

"The Fire-Tooth Dog's attack speed and move power are both a cut above the Fire-Chain Snake, especially its attack speed. Almost as soon as the match started, while Contestant Xie Xie Jianyin was still giving instructions, it had already launched the skill," Sha Duo analyzed.

The middle-aged commentator listening on the side had a different view.

Attack speed is certainly important, but he felt the key to victory lay in that Spark.

That was a minor-achievement-level Spark.

If that Spark only had an entry-level realm, the power wouldn't be enough, and the impact generated by the explosion wouldn't be enough to knock the Fire-Chain Snake unconscious.

He remembered that Contestant Qiao Sang's information stated she was a fresh middle school graduate...

The host continued the process, introducing the names of the fourth group of contestants, while the audience was still discussing the match just now.

"What's wrong with Xie Xie Jianyin? He has a Long-Tailed Snake but didn't use it, instead sending out a Fire-Chain Snake?"

"Maybe he thought he could win even if he sent out a Fire-Chain Snake."

"It feels like throwing the game in a game; was there some private deal?"

"The Fire-Tooth Dog itself isn't weak; what's so strange about winning? If it were a fixed match, they would at least have to exchange a few moves; how could it lose so fast? Besides, what's the point of playing a fixed match in this kind of small-scale competition?"

In this day and age, there are many matches and many people watching, especially large-scale competitions, which major media and online platforms will compete to report on.

If it were a high-level competition that only A-tier Beast Tamers could participate in, the number of online viewers would at least be in the hundreds of millions.

As long as a Beast Tamer has shown their face in such a competition, they can gain a large group of fans, and their market value will also skyrocket.

Not to mention achieving a certain ranking in the competition.

Only competitions of that level would basically have situations of fixed matches.

Whether it's the capitalists manipulating behind the scenes or Beast Tamers wanting to become famous overnight, they would all try to do something behind the scenes.

And for a competition like the Hundred-New Competition, where even the ratings rely on the friends and family of the contestants, playing a fixed match has no meaning at all.

Qiao Sang, holding the Fire-Tooth Dog, just sat down.

"Genius Qiao, too handsome! I hadn't even reacted yet and you had already won," Bai Bai Yunmiao laughed.

"Actually, I hadn't reacted yet either," Qiao Sang said.

"Ya ya!"

The Fire-Tooth Dog nodded to show it was the same.

"Haha, the expression on the Fire-Tooth Dog's face when it knew it won just now was too funny. It's a pity it wasn't recorded. You can go online and watch it later; it can even be made into an expression pack," Bai Bai Yunmiao continued to laugh.

"Ya!"

The Fire-Tooth Dog suddenly couldn't sit still.

Isn't what's recorded online its handsome side during the match?

What's wrong with its expression?

How could it be funny?

Qiao Sang was also very curious. During the battle, the Fire-Tooth Dog was facing away from her, and she didn't see any expression at all.

But now the platform is live streaming, so she has to wait until the morning matches end and go back to watch the replay to see it.

The competition proceeded efficiently.

When it was the 20th group of contestants' turn to enter the field, Bai Bai Yunmiao took out a mirror from her shoulder bag and looked at it.

Then she took out a comb from her bag and combed her air bangs.

Qiao Sang couldn't help but say, "You even brought a comb."

Bai Bai Yunmiao said seriously, "As an exquisite Beast Tamer, one must pay attention to their image at all times when facing the camera."

Qiao Sang: "..."

This is the first time she's heard the word "exquisite" used to describe a Beast Tamer; this word would be more appropriate for a Coordinator.

After all, Coordinators, besides paying attention to the image of their pet beasts, also manage their own appearance.

She felt Bai Bai Yunmiao had the potential to be a Coordinator...

Bai Bai Yunmiao was the 25th contestant, and her opponent wasn't on Qiao Sang's memo list.

"Fire-Tooth Dog, who do you think will win?" Qiao Sang asked as usual.

"Ya."

The Fire-Tooth Dog pointed to the figure in the air that made it love the house and its crow—the Little Fat Dove.

Qiao Sang felt that Bai Bai Yunmiao didn't praise the Fire-Tooth Dog for being handsome just now, so the Fire-Tooth Dog should be making a fair judgment, choosing the pet beast it thought might win...

Bai Bai Yunmiao's pet beast was a Sprinkled-Gold Vine.

About 90 centimeters tall, a small and round cyan-green body, golden eyes without pupils, only the size of a mung bean, and a vine roll about 5 centimeters long on its head, looking a bit silly and cute.

On the field, both sides had exchanged moves for two minutes and had consumed a bit of physical strength.

The Little Fat Dove's flight altitude had also dropped slightly.

The Sprinkled-Gold Vine swung its head, and several sharp blades formed by leaves attacked the Little Fat Dove in the air.

The Little Fat Dove flapped its wings and dodged in a panic. It finally waited for this wave of leaf blades to end, but before it could breathe a sigh of relief, two vines appeared from the index fingers of the Sprinkled-Gold Vine's hands and bound it firmly.

The next second, the Little Fat Dove's field of vision turned 180 degrees directly.

"Dove!!"

Under the control of the vines, the Little Fat Dove fell headfirst onto the competition field.

"Contestant Bai Bai Yunmiao wins," the referee announced the result.

The Fire-Tooth Dog covered its eyes, unable to bear watching.

Qiao Sang looked at the Fire-Tooth Dog covering its eyes.

Is this a jinx?

"How is it, how is it? Was my hairstyle messy on the field just now?" Bai Bai Yunmiao asked as soon as she returned to her seat.

"It was quite good," Qiao Sang replied.

Bai Bai Yunmiao's hairstyle was a bun, all tied together meticulously; unless there was strenuous exercise, it wouldn't be messy.

Bai Bai Yunmiao was very satisfied after hearing this, then took out the mirror and comb to comb her air bangs again.

As the morning matches ended, the contestants and audience in the arena walked out one after another.

Entrance of the competition arena.

Bai Bai Yunmiao pointed to a reporter holding a microphone not far away and said nervously, "What should I do? I'm a bit nervous now. If they interview me when we pass by them later, what should I say?"

Qiao Sang said, "That depends on what they ask. Basically, they all ask why you participated in the competition and what your views on the competition are."

Bai Bai Yunmiao nodded and asked, "How do I look now?"

"Beautiful," Qiao Sang praised.

"Then I... ah! They are looking over here! Ah ah ah! They are walking over!" Bai Bai Yunmiao said excitedly.

"Calm down, keep a good image," Qiao Sang said.

"You're right... they seem to be walking toward us!" Bai Bai Yunmiao whispered excitedly.

Qiao Sang looked over, and the reporter holding the microphone was indeed walking toward their direction.

It seems Bai Bai Yunmiao's foresight was correct.

Didn't dress up in vain.

Soon, the reporter holding the microphone and his team arrived in front of them.

"Contestant Qiao Sang, I am a reporter from the Hanggang Aggregate Platform. I would like to conduct an interview with you about the Fire-Tooth Dog and the competition. Do you have time now?"

Qiao Sang looked at the microphone placed in front of her and fell into silence.

Bai Bai Yunmiao: "...!" ===== CHAPTER 53 =====
