Chapter 60

Regional Tournament.

As the name implies, it is the largest-scale competition in a region.

Just looking at the Rong Yuhua Region where they are located, there are 11 provinces.

And the Hanggong City where they are currently located is just one of the 12 prefecture-level cities in the Zhehai Province among these 11 provinces.

There are two conditions for wanting to participate in the Regional Tournament.

The first is to be under 40 years old and have been certified by the Alliance as having reached the level of a C-rank Beast Tamer.

This does not mean that everyone participating in the Regional Tournament is a C-rank Beast Tamer under 40.

Rather, this is the minimum age and level requirement.

An upper limit is set for age, but a lower limit is set for the Beast Tamer's level.

The second is to obtain the qualification for the competition certified by the Beast Taming Center of the provincial capital where one is located.

It is quite troublesome to obtain this competition qualification.

One must pass the competition assessment of all prefecture-level cities in the province within one year.

Taking Zhehai Province as an example, every city among the 12 prefecture-level cities has a department in the local Beast Taming Center specifically set up to assess qualifications.

The content of the assessment varies, and the judging criteria of each examiner are different.

If you are lucky enough to encounter a soft-hearted examiner, you might pass just by catching a thief.

If you are unlucky enough to encounter a strict examiner, it is not impossible for them to ask you to go steal the egg of a dragon-type extraordinary creature.

Zhehai Province is barely considered good, with only 12 prefecture-level cities; on average, there is exactly one month to go to one city to complete the assessment.

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

Calculating it out, there is only 20 days to go to one city to complete the assessment, which is simply not something a normal Beast Tamer can achieve.

In short, any Beast Tamer who can pass the competition assessment of all prefecture-level cities in the province within one year is no ordinary person.

As a contestant who just participated in the Rong Yuhua Regional Tournament this year and achieved a high ranking, Shado actually said in front of so many people that he looked forward to meeting Qiao Sang in future Regional Tournaments.

This is simply a super-high level of recognition for her.

In an instant, the bullet comments on the platform's live stream exploded.

【Is Shado serious?】

【Am I about to witness the rise of a supernova?】

【To be fair, she is genuinely strong.】

【Even if she can participate in the Regional Tournament, Shado will be over 40 by then, right?】

【You are truly savage, but I like it.】

【Tomorrow's news is set.】

At the guest seats.

"Although this Qiao Sang is young, her battle experience looks very seasoned."

"That clone retreat was truly amazing; she didn't even open her mouth to command on the field, so it was clearly a tactic designed before the match."

"And that Fire Tooth Dog, the coordination between it and her doesn't look like they were contracted not long ago at all."

"What do you think about finding her to do a live stream?" the young female guest who had not spoken until now said.

"Live stream? Doing what? She might have some popularity now, but she'll be forgotten once she loses the next match."

"What do you think about the feeling of the Fire Tooth Dog wearing sunglasses?" the young female guest asked.

"Quite cool," the guest next to her praised.

"I just opened an online shop selling sunglasses. If I invite her to do a live stream at this juncture—to be precise, invite the Fire Tooth Dog to do a live stream—what do you think?" the young female guest continued to ask.

Everyone turned their gazes in unison toward the Fire Tooth Dog on the field wearing purple triangular sunglasses.

"It feels... actually not bad," the guest next to her replied after hesitating for a moment.

As soon as Qiao Sang returned to the spectator area holding the Fire Tooth Dog, Bai Bai Yunmiao took a pen and a piece of A4 paper with pink lace from her crossbody bag, handed it to her, and said excitedly: "Genius Qiao, hurry and help me sign it."

"How come you have everything in this bag of yours?" Qiao Sang couldn't help but retort.

"Hehe, actually this pen and paper were prepared for Shado; it's just that I haven't had the chance to use them," Bai Bai Yunmiao said embarrassedly.

Qiao Sang: "..."

"Your parents' argument wouldn't just be an excuse for you to come here, would it?" Qiao Sang suspected.

"No wonder they call you Genius Qiao, you guessed it so quickly," Bai Bai Yunmiao said with a blushing face: "I recently became a fan of Shado, and I just happened to hear that he was coming to be a guest at the Hundred New Tournament, so I came."

Qiao Sang: "..."

So participating in the competition was all for someone else...

"Let's not talk about this, Genius Qiao, hurry and sign one for me. Since Shado said that, if you participate in the Regional Tournament in the future, your autograph will definitely be valuable. I have to take advantage of now and have you sign one for me quickly." Bai Bai Yunmiao shoved the pen and paper over.

Qiao Sang wasn't being coy either. Just as she was about to start writing, she suddenly thought of something, looked up, and asked: "How many sheets of this paper did you bring? If I sign it, will there still be paper if I meet Shado later?"

Bai Bai Yunmiao was stunned for a moment, reached out and pulled the paper and pen back, and laughed awkwardly: "Haha, I forgot if you hadn't mentioned it. I only brought this one sheet."

Qiao Sang: "..."

After watching a day of matches, Qiao Sang went home and started reviewing the games.

Dragon-type pets are worthy of being dragon-type pets. If she hadn't taken the initiative to gain an advantage at the start, given the Little Horned Dragon's attack and defense, this match would likely have been a bitter battle.

In today's match, she underestimated the Little Horned Dragon's defense, thinking she could end the match with Fire Fang.

If the Little Horned Dragon hadn't used its head to strike the ground at the end, but instead used Iron Head to shake off the Fire Tooth Dog first and then create distance, it could probably have fought for a while longer.

In the end, it's because the Fire Tooth Dog's attack power is still not enough.

The remaining contestants all possess intermediate-level pets. No matter who she encounters, she doesn't have any advantage and can only rely on tactics to solve it.

The three Beast Tamers who possess two intermediate-level pets that she studied yesterday have all successfully advanced. If she encounters them, it will also be very difficult to win relying on tactics.

Sometimes, absolute strength is something even tactics cannot compensate for.

If she is lucky tomorrow and doesn't encounter one of the three first, she might still have a chance to strive for a higher ranking; otherwise...

The sensation of being pushed on her calf pulled Qiao Sang back from her thoughts.

She looked down and discovered that the Fire Tooth Dog was holding a phone in its mouth and was pushing her with its paw.

The phone screen was lit up in the Fire Tooth Dog's mouth, and it was vibrating, shaking the fur on its face until it trembled.

It turned out someone had called.

Qiao Sang held back her laughter and took the phone to look; it was an unknown number.

She swiped her right hand 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 the habit of answering unknown calls.

But the second after hanging up, the screen lit up again.

Qiao Sang frowned slightly and pressed the call button.

"Is this Miss Qiao Sang?" A young woman's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"It is, who are you?"

"I am someone who thinks highly of you. Are you interested in discussing a business deal worth over a hundred thousand? I am currently at..."

Qiao Sang put down the phone from her ear, hung up quickly, and added this number to her blacklist.

It was indeed a scam call.

Still trying to scam her, they really picked the wrong person.

Thinking that she was also someone who had been tempered in society in her past life, how could she be so easily scammed?

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

A young woman stared blankly at the phone call that had been hung up and could no longer get through.

Which part went wrong...
