Chapter 664

~11 min read 2,017 words

There's actually such a thing?!

Qiao Sang was taken aback; this was the first time she had heard of this!

Doesn't that mean she could see invisible ghost-type pet beasts in the future?

The little treasure-hunting ghost floated in front of the middle-aged man, stretched out its claw to wave in front of him, and made a funny face.

The middle-aged man's mouth twitched:

"This ghost-type pet beast of yours is quite cute."

"Xun xun!"

The little treasure-hunting ghost was startled, quickly floated to its beast tamer's side, widened its eyes, and let out a cry.

This guy can really see itself!

Just now when someone mentioned your appearance features you didn't react, now that someone says you're cute, you actually believe it... Qiao Sang couldn't help but complain in her heart, controlling her facial expression on the surface, and answered the question the other party just asked:

"It's called a Ghost Ring Ghost, it's my pet beast."

"Ghost Ring Ghost..." The middle-aged man repeated these four words thoughtfully, muttering:

"I haven't even heard of this ghost-type pet beast..."

"It's a Blue Star pet beast," Qiao Sang said.

The middle-aged man revealed a look of sudden realization and said:

"That's no wonder."

After speaking, he suddenly thought of something, looked at Qiao Sang, and asked: "Are you here to participate in the competition?"

Qiao Sang said "Hmm".

A smile appeared on the middle-aged man's face, and he said in a tone like he was talking to his own junior:

"Good luck."

After speaking, he walked towards the backstage.

The other party's ghost-type pet beast has already reached this level of feedback, it must be very powerful, could he be a judge... Qiao Sang gathered her thoughts and also headed towards the backstage.

As soon as she entered, she heard all kinds of greetings.

Everyone was gathered in twos and threes. Looking at them, they were all adults, and there were many pet beasts she had never seen before. From their appearance, it was not hard to guess that these were all ghost-type pet beasts.

With Qiao Sang's appearance, many people focused their gazes over.

Almost all those who brought ghost-type pet beasts to compete were adults. It was rare to see someone like the young girl in front of them who clearly looked underage.

Qiao Sang was not surprised by such gazes.

She found a seat and sat down. Turning her head, she saw the man who had spotted the little treasure-hunting ghost's position earlier.

He was chatting with others just like everyone else. It looked like he was just an ordinary contestant, not a judge.

The middle-aged man felt the gaze, turned to face her, and seeing it was the young girl from just now, nodded slightly as a greeting.

"Do you know Mr. Barnard?" At this moment, a black-haired woman wearing light makeup walked over, sat down next to her, and asked familiarly.

"Mr. Barnard?" Qiao Sang did not hide her confusion.

"The one who just greeted you," the woman said.

"I don't know him," Qiao Sang shook her head: "We just spoke a few words."

After speaking, she suddenly thought of something and asked: "Is he also here to compete?"

The woman laughed, seemingly not surprised that the other party would ask such a question: "He is considered a weirdo in our circle of ghost-type beast tamers. He participates in any competition related to ghost-type pet beasts, even if the competition level is very low."

Hearing this, Qiao Sang had one thought in her mind:

Damn it, he's actually a competitor. It seems he must be in the top three...

"But, aren't there restrictions on competitions? He's so powerful, there should be many competitions he can't participate in, right?" Qiao Sang asked.

"It seems you really don't know him at all," the woman said: "The pet beasts he contracted are all ghost-type. There are low-level ones and high-level ones. Except for competitions that restrict the beast tamer's age or professional beast tamer level, he participates in almost all other competitions that have requirements for pet beasts."

When she said this, the woman waved her hand:

"Who told him to have so many ghost-type pet beasts."

He actually contracted all ghost-type pet beasts... Qiao Sang was a bit stunned.

Although she knew that some people had a special preference for pet beasts of a certain attribute and contracted pet beasts of the same attribute, this was the first time she had seen a beast tamer who contracted all ghost-type pet beasts in reality.

At this moment, the virtual screen backstage lit up, playing the scene in the lobby.

A host wearing a black suit appeared on the screen, along with a ghost-type pet beast that was purple all over, had sharp horns on its head, and was also wearing a suit.

"Welcome everyone to the scene to watch the Ghost-type Pet Beast Negative Energy Collection Competition!" The host held the microphone and said loudly: "There are a total of 134 beast tamers who signed up for this Ghost-type Pet Beast Negative Energy Collection Competition! They are all ready to go backstage!"

"We will watch the scenes of beast tamers collecting negative energy with their ghost-type pet beasts through live broadcast."

"Everyone will supervise with me throughout the process!"

"Everyone present will be a judge!"

"Ke ke!" The ghost-type pet beast next to him held the microphone and echoed with a cry.

The whole audience cheered.

Qiao Sang watched the scene on the screen backstage and turned to ask:

"What are they supervising?"

The woman was stunned for a moment: "Don't you know the rules?"

Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said: "I only know the competition time is three hours, and the three people who collect the most negative energy will be selected."

Looks like a total newbie... Could it be that she just contracted a ghost-type pet beast and came to participate... The woman glanced at the young girl's image in front of her, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt this possibility was greater.

She suddenly regretted starting the conversation...

Newbies have the most questions...

Although she regretted it in her heart, the woman explained patiently on the surface:

"Usually, District 1 prohibits pet beasts from absorbing various emotional energies indiscriminately, but competitions like this will be approved by the government in advance. These spectators are supervising whether the participating beast tamers are secretly creating negative energy or letting their pet beasts absorb other energy."

"See the input devices in their hands? If anyone violates the rules, someone will input the contestant's number, and once it's confirmed by review, they will be eliminated."

Number? Is it the number on the number bracelet given by the staff when signing in at the door?

When entering, the staff gave two things: a number bracelet and an emotional energy collection bottle.

"Then there's no need for so many people, right?" Qiao Sang said, looking at the full lobby of spectators on the screen.

The woman said faintly:

"There will be as many screens displayed as there are contestants. In the later stages, the screens will gradually decrease, removing those contestants who don't have much achievement. The audience also likes this, feeling a sense of participation."

These organizers really know how to put on a show... Qiao Sang thought to herself.

"Contestants backstage, can you hear me!" The host looked at the camera and said.

At the same time, the huge virtual screen behind him displayed the backstage scene.

The camera scanned, and Qiao Sang saw herself on the screen.

The beast tamers backstage smiled politely at the camera, not very enthusiastically.

The host didn't let the atmosphere cool down and continued:

"Beast tamers with ghost-type pet beasts are indeed as quiet as ever. Since that's the case, let's not talk nonsense. This competition area is within the scope of Jintong District. Leaving Jintong District will be counted as elimination."

"During the competition, interfering with or battling opponents is allowed, but creating incidents or collecting energy other than negative energy is not allowed."

"Except for the participating ghost-type pet beast, summoning other pet beasts to help is not allowed."

"It is now 12:59 PM in District 1. Everyone has one minute of preparation time. The competition duration is three hours. Please return and gather on time at four o'clock in the afternoon."

When the host said this, the arc of his mouth lifting became larger:

"Next, the screen will be handed over to the contestants."

"Ke ke!" The ghost-type pet beast next to him echoed with a cry.

The backstage screen was closed.

At the same time.

Qiao Sang saw the huge door not far away slowly open automatically.

Over a hundred people rushed out in a flash, including the woman who had been talking to her earlier.

Only a few people were left moving slowly without any action.

Qiao Sang was silent for a long time, took out the number bracelet with "113" written on it and wore it on her wrist, then took out her phone and opened the navigation.

"Aren't you leaving yet?" an uncle on the side asked.

"I'm checking the scope of Jintong District," Qiao Sang said without raising her head.

After speaking, she asked casually: "Aren't you leaving?"

The uncle smiled mysteriously: "This is also within the scope of Jintong District. There are thousands of people in the lobby, and these are all sources of energy."

Qiao Sang raised her head abruptly.

At the same time, the huge virtual screen in the lobby was cut into over a hundred screens.

What was playing on it was the current situation of each contestant.

Some of the audience in the lobby saw the screens of a few who were still backstage and turned their heads to discuss:

"Here we go again, every competition there are always a few guys who want to come and fleece our negative energy."

"I don't have any negative energy, I've been living too happily lately."

"Sigh, I went to watch the pet beast arena match yesterday and lost a lot of money. Now I definitely wouldn't mind if there was a ghost-type pet beast to absorb my emotional energy."

"If you don't learn your lesson after being absorbed and still go to gamble, it's better not to absorb it."

"Huh? That ghost-type pet beast is so small, I don't think I've ever seen it."

The pet beast this person was talking about was exactly the little treasure-hunting ghost.

Qiao Sang walked out of the door a minute ago.

Although there were indeed thousands of people in the lobby, they were all watching the live broadcast and knew what they were doing. Under this God's-eye view, it was impossible to collect too much negative energy.

Qiao Sang had thought about it when she came. Time was limited, so if she wanted to go, she would go to the place where the most negative energy was produced.

That is the hospital.

There are many patients in the hospital, and things like birth, aging, sickness, and death happen every day, so the negative emotions produced must be a lot.

Qiao Sang called a taxi and headed to the second closest Grade A hospital that was still within the scope of Jintong District.

Others could think of what she could think of.

The hospital closest to here definitely had many contestants going there.

Qiao Sang was not wrong.

At this moment, among the over a hundred screens on the virtual screen in the lobby, nearly half were screens of people heading to the Grade A hospital closest to here.

District 1's management of wild pet beasts was very well done. There were no wild pet beasts running around on the street. The taxi only took sixteen minutes to arrive at "Fudebite General Hospital".

Qiao Sang quickly paid the fare and walked into the hospital gate.

"Little treasure-hunting ghost, it's up to you next," Qiao Sang said.

"Xun xun~"

The little treasure-hunting ghost let out a cry full of confidence, then closed its eyes and twitched its nose.
