Chapter 910: Blind Selection

Outside the spherical venue.

Qiao Sang flipped down from Like Ya Bao's back.

There were mostly eye-catching red pet beasts around, but even so, Like Ya Bao attracted the attention of the vast majority of people as soon as it landed.

A Fire-type lizard-type pet beast on the side couldn't stand its Beast Tamer, who had just said "be good" to it the second before, and whose gaze fell on another pet beast the next second, immediately revealed a dissatisfied expression, its tail lit up with red light, and it whipped its Beast Tamer's head.

"Ah!"

The scream entered her ears.

The temper of Fire-type pet beasts is still so irritable, fortunately Like Ya Bao is quite good... Qiao Sang picked up Like Ya Bao, who had become smaller, and lined up at the passage entrance.

When it was her turn, she showed the ticket inspector the mission confirmation sheet sent to the backend by the Beast Taming Center after the mission was issued, and walked in smoothly.

Qiao Sang came to a hall according to the address given in the mission details.

At this time, quite a few people were gathered inside, and almost everyone had a Fire-type pet beast beside them.

Probably because of the gathering of Fire-type pet beasts, Qiao Sang only felt that the temperature inside was a bit higher than outside.

"Smoke smoke."

A pet beast with a small chimney on its head looked over and revealed a sneering expression.

Like Ya Bao's face looked ugly, and then it jumped down from its Beast Tamer's arms.

Qiao Sang didn't think much.

"Steel sword."

At this time, Gangbao's voice sounded in her mind.

The guy with a chimney on its head just now mocked Like Ya Bao for being so big and still needing its Beast Tamer to hold it.

Qiao Sang turned her head to look at the pet beast Gangbao mentioned, and the relevant information about it appeared in her mind.

Chimney Monster, Fire-type General-level pet beast, the fire burning in the chimney is a manifestation of mental concentration. When unhappy, black smoke will rise from the chimney.

Qiao Sang withdrew her gaze, bent down, and picked up Like Ya Bao again.

Like Ya Bao's first reaction was to struggle.

"Let me hold you, you are soft, it's comfortable to hold," Qiao Sang said warmly.

"Ya ya..."

Like Ya Bao stopped moving and revealed a compromised expression.

Sigh, although it has grown up, it has no choice since its Beast Tamer wants to hold it.

"Smoke smoke!"

Seeing this scene, the Chimney Monster pulled a long face, turned its head, and called out to its Beast Tamer, indicating that it also wanted to be held.

The thin young man didn't know what was wrong with his pet beast, but he still bent down and picked it up.

"Smoke smoke?"

The Chimney Monster was comfortable and called out, am I soft?

You don't have a point in your heart about whether you are soft or not... The young man didn't answer, conveying his thoughts with his eyes.

Seeing the meaning expressed by its Beast Tamer's eyes, the Chimney Monster immediately had black smoke rising from its head.

"Everyone!" A lady wearing a work badge cleared her throat, attracted everyone's attention, and said loudly: "Later, everyone just let your respective Fire-type pet beasts line up and go up. The selected pet beasts stay, and those not selected, everyone just summon them back to the Beast Taming Code. The competition scene outside will be synchronized and played here."

"Of course, if the Beast Tamers of the selected pet beasts want to watch on-site, we have also arranged seats outside, just find me when the time comes."

Everyone listened quietly, seeming to have no problem with this arrangement.

What? There are selected and not selected? Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment.

If Like Ya Bao isn't selected, can this mission still be considered passed by her?

Qiao Sang looked to the side, selected a woman who looked kind, and asked:

"Hello, I'd like to ask what the specific rules of this competition are?"

The woman looked over, her gaze fell on Like Ya Bao, paused for a moment, and asked back with a gentle voice:

"Don't you know about the Tool Refining Competition?"

Qiao Sang said embarrassedly:

"I know a little, but not much. I just accepted the mission and came."

The woman didn't ask much and started to popularize the competition content:

"This Tool Refining Competition can already be considered the final. The participating tool masters have all gone through several competitions before, selected from various towns, counties, and cities. They will blindly select the Fire-type pet beasts arranged by the organizer to help refine tools. That is our Fire-type pet beasts."

"The competition duration is three days. They will refine for these three days, and the selected Fire-type pet beasts will also participate in helping for these three days."

"Wait until the tool finished product comes out, the function of the tool will be displayed on-site, and then the judges of the Tool Association will select the ten most powerful tools to score. These ten tools plus the judges' scores and the on-site audience's votes will determine the top three."

"Finally, ten lucky audience members will be drawn on-site and given these ten tools."

No wonder so many people came to the scene... Qiao Sang suddenly realized.

Seeing Qiao Sang's expression, the woman smiled:

"You accepted this mission quite worthily. There is an unwritten rule: generally speaking, the Beast Tamers of the selected Fire-type pet beasts have a higher probability of becoming lucky audience members."

"In the previous Tool Refining Competitions, at least two or three out of the ten lucky audience members were us."

Qiao Sang wasn't interested in tools, so she turned to ask:

"How do those tool masters blindly select Fire-type pet beasts?"

"It's just using cloth to cover the pet beasts and blindly selecting by looking at the outline," the woman helped answer patiently: "This can also be considered adding some fun to the competition."

Blindly selecting by looking at the outline... Qiao Sang looked down at Like Ya Bao, and her confidence suddenly increased a bit.

Not to mention anything else, just looking at the outline, Like Ya Bao is so handsome, it should be selected no matter what.

"Ya!"

Like Ya Bao raised its head to look at its Beast Tamer, called out, and its eyes were full of confidence.

After about ten minutes, the lady wearing the work badge said loudly:

"Please everyone, let your respective Fire-type pet beasts come with me!"

Like Ya Bao jumped down from its Beast Tamer's arms.

"Go," Qiao Sang nodded at Like Ya Bao.

"Ya!"

Like Ya Bao held its head high and chest out, followed a group of Fire-type pet beasts with confident steps to head over.

At the same time, a giant virtual screen appeared out of thin air above the hall, playing the scene on-site.

"Now we have reached our exciting partner selection link!" The host wearing a black suit said with a microphone: "Please welcome our first group of Fire-type pet beasts to the stage!"

The whole audience cheered.

Soon, the outlines of ten Fire-type pet beasts were reflected in the light and shadow.

The camera swept over.

Qiao Sang took a rough look and knew that Like Ya Bao wasn't on it.

The fifty tool masters sitting in the contestant area started to select pet beasts.

Five Fire-type pet beasts were selected.

The tool masters almost didn't hesitate at all.

Although it was a blind selection, most Beast Tamers who had a slight understanding of Fire-type pet beasts could infer the pet beasts through the outline.

However, in order to increase the difficulty, the organizer would occasionally let Fire-type pet beasts that looked similar appear at the same time, and then specifically adjust their positions to confuse their outlines.

Qiao Sang watched with great interest.

When it reached the third group, she saw Like Ya Bao.

"The third group of Fire-type partners has appeared, please start selecting!" The host opened his mouth.

Every tool master had a virtual screen in front of them, showing the number of the Fire-type pet beast that appeared on stage.

If a pet beast was selected, the tool master's contestant number would appear in the light and shadow in front of it.

If not selected, the light and shadow would darken instantly.

If two or more tool masters selected the same pet beast at the same time, then according to the ranking given by the tool masters in the previous competition, the higher one would have priority to select.

Like Ya Bao was number 31.

Huge wings, fluffy and soft long tail, strong and slender posture, the domineering posture of overlooking everything, even if it was just an outline, one could see it was the pet beast with the highest style among the ten pet beasts.

Qiao Sang was very satisfied.

The tool masters stopped their movements.

"Good, let's see which pet beasts were selected!" The host said loudly.

The camera gave the ten pet beasts that only had outlines.

Along with the BGM with a hint of suspense.

Number 31's light and shadow darkened.

Qiao Sang: "!!!"

A bolt from the blue!

Like Ya Bao wasn't selected!

Qiao Sang was confused, blank, and puzzled.

Why!

Why wasn't Like Ya Bao selected!

Clearly it was the most domineering outline among the pet beasts that appeared!

If Like Ya Bao wasn't selected, can this mission of hers still be considered completed?

All kinds of thoughts popped up in an instant.

"Xun xun..."

Little Xunbao appeared with an expression of "how could this be."

Gangbao revealed an expression of astonishment.

"Ice emperor."

Even Lubao, who was poking half its head out, was stunned.

At this time, the kind woman on the side reminded: "You should take your pet beast back."

Like Ya Bao's form was unique, even the woman who had only glanced at it a few times recognized who number 31 was.

Qiao Sang collected her thoughts, exhaled slowly, and formed seals with both hands.

Instantly, a huge red star array lit up in the hall.

Holy crap... The people who were originally discussing had their pupils shrink, and it became quiet instantly.

They never expected that a dignified B-level big shot would also appear in this selection!

Do B-level big shots like pretending to be young so much now! The woman's face changed slightly, and her body stiffened as she retreated a step to the side.

Like Ya Bao appeared in the star array with an expression of doubting life.

Not selected...

It actually wasn't selected...

How could this be...

Is it not handsome...

"Ya ya..."

Like Ya Bao looked at its Beast Tamer with confused eyes, wanting to know why.

Qiao Sang noticed that the people around were silently keeping their distance, the atmosphere was a bit wrong, she sighed: "You change back to small first."

Like Ya Bao slowly became smaller.

One person and one beast looked at each other.

"It's those people who don't have eyes," Qiao Sang finally said.

"Ya ya..."

Like Ya Bao also felt the same, it sighed, revealed a worried expression, and called out.

It wasn't selected, so can the mission still be considered completed?

Qiao Sang thought to herself that you are worried about the same thing as me...

At this time, the kind woman on the side said:

"It might be that the tool masters aren't very familiar with your pet beast, don't recognize what pet beast it is, so they didn't dare to choose."

Her attitude was much more cautious than before.

So that's how it is... Qiao Sang sighed for no reason.

She thought that relying on Like Ya Bao's domineering appearance, being selected would be a very simple thing, but she forgot that this is a tool refining competition, and everyone only chooses pet beasts they are familiar with and have confidence in.

The woman continued:

"You can wait a bit longer. Some tool masters didn't select a pet beast even after all the pet beasts in the first round appeared, so they will conduct a second round. When that time comes, your pet beast can go up again."

Hearing this, Qiao Sang's eyes lit up: "Thank you, if you hadn't said it, I wouldn't have known, and might have left just now."

This demeanor, if it weren't for seeing the red star array just now, I would have really thought she was younger than me... Sure enough, when walking outside, you can't just judge a person's age by their appearance... The woman smiled: "You're welcome, I just came to be selected once before, so I have more experience."

"Ya!"

Like Ya Bao had regained its confidence.

So it wasn't that it wasn't handsome enough!

Like Ya Bao's outline was relatively domineering and easy to recognize. Since it wasn't selected in the first round, it would definitely be very difficult to be selected in the second round... Qiao Sang stared at Like Ya Bao for a while and suddenly said:

"You retract the flame wings and see."

Like Ya Bao retracted the flame wings without a word.

Not bad, it's not so domineering this way. If you cover it and look at the outline alone, it's quite similar to the Flame-Happy Fox in the Central Region, it's just that the Flame-Happy Fox's legs seem a bit shorter... Qiao Sang observed and said:

"Wait until you go up again, just lie down, and try not to expose your limbs."

"Ya!"

Like Ya Bao understood its Beast Tamer's intention and called out with a serious expression, indicating it understood.

Ten minutes later, sure enough, there were still three tool masters who hadn't selected a pet beast.

Like Ya Bao entered the re-selection stage.

"Remember what I just said," Qiao Sang exhorted.

"Ya!"

Like Ya Bao called out and walked toward the scene with steps that seemed to carry some kind of mission.

"We will invite the pet beasts that weren't selected just now to go on stage again," the host said with a microphone: "There are still three contestants who haven't chosen your pet beast partners, now please make your choice."

This time, there were 53 pet beasts with outlines on stage, all of which hadn't been selected before.

Qiao Sang was in the back, looking at the pet beast outline on the virtual screen that was lying still, with a slender body and no limbs exposed, feeling nervous.

This is the last chance...

If it still wasn't selected, then the mission...

"Xun xun..."

"Steel sword..."

"Ice emperor..."

Little Xunbao, Gangbao, and Lubao stared at the virtual screen, their expressions unconsciously becoming nervous.

A sudden wind blew by in swirls.

Under the gaze of everyone and all the pet beasts, almost all the light and shadow extinguished instantly, leaving only three pet beast outlines on the field.

"Number 31, Number 69, Number 98, let's see what the selected pet beasts are!" The host went through the process: "Let's look at pet beast Number 31 first!"

As the host's words fell, the covering cloth disappeared.

A pet beast that was almost crimson all over and mighty and domineering was revealed.

"Ya!"

Like Ya Bao stood up excitedly and called out loudly toward the sky.

At the same time, the flame wings on its side suddenly condensed and spread out.

The momentum was fully pulled up.

The whole audience was quiet for a moment, followed by an uproar, discussing this mysterious pet beast that had never been seen before.

Contestant area.

A young man with a crew cut had his expression turn from confident to stunned, muttering to himself:

"How could this be, how could it not be a Flame-Happy Fox..."

The contestant beside him patted his shoulder sympathetically.

Number 31, this pet beast, looked very powerful, but for tool masters refining tools, whether the Fire-type pet beast is powerful or not doesn't have any use, mainly looking at the cooperation and control.

Cooperating with a pet beast that isn't familiar, and even doesn't know the race name, he knew that the guy beside him was finished. ===== CHAPTER 911 =====
