Fu Yifan's expression immediately turned serious, and he sat up straight, saying, "Mingxi, you know I have a mission target for this internal selection competition."

"My grandfather gave me an ultimatum, demanding that I must make it into the top twenty in this competition, or he'll break my legs."

Heh, the usual tactics of wealthy elders are nothing more than breaking legs, freezing accounts, and expelling from the family.

Mingxi was familiar with this.

"It shouldn't be too difficult for you to advance from Group D, right? Besides Hua Lu, Wei Xunxun, Lu Jiuyue, and at most one Tong Lili, as long as you're careful, the others in your group shouldn't be your opponents."

Leaving aside the seeded players, the overall strength of Group D players was actually the weakest among the four groups.

Fu Yifan being placed in Group D made Mingxi suspect foul play.

"As long as nothing unexpected happens, you're guaranteed a spot in the top five."

Fu Yifan looked at her, the light in his eyes very bright.

"Junior, you are truly amazing."

She wasn't a member of Group D, yet she could analyze his situation in Group D so thoroughly.

The four people she mentioned were indeed opponents he wasn't confident he could beat.

Especially Tong Lili; everyone probably thought he didn't need to fear her, after all, his Mountain King's attribute absolutely countered Tong Lili's Coco Snow Tower.

But in reality, he had a skirmish with Tong Lili not long ago, and he lost that time.

Mingxi was indeed Mingxi.

Just this insight alone made him feel inferior.

"You are the best."

He gave her a thumbs-up.

Then he continued, "You're right, as long as there are ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) no blunders, I'm somewhat confident about the top five in Group D."

Though this confidence was probably like a balloon, ready to pop with a poke.

He wouldn't say that out loud.

He was afraid Junior would laugh at him.

He cleared his throat, "But there's a big difference between advancing in fifth place and advancing in first place."

Mingxi said 'Oh,' her eyes slightly narrowed, and she curled her lips with interest: "So Senior, you also want to contend for the championship?"

"No, I don't have such great ambition, at least I definitely can't beat you."

After defeating Lin Yingluo today using the tactics Mingxi taught him, Fu Yifan deeply realized the gap between himself and Mingxi.

"I just want to get the best possible result to make my biased grandfather look at me with new eyes."

Mingxi understood.

There were many struggles in wealthy families.

Understood, understood.

"So you want me to be your strategist? Just like with Lin Yingluo's match?"

Fu Yifan nodded repeatedly: "Yes, that's exactly what I mean."

"Of course, I won't let you advise me for free. I'll give you a 10,000 yuan red packet for every match I win, how about it?"

Mingxi's heart skipped a beat: "Every match? You mean you need me to devise tactics for all 10 of your remaining group stage matches?"

10,000 for winning one match, so 10 matches would be 100,000.

An ordinary person probably couldn't earn that much money in a year.

If she wasn't preparing for the Rainbow Summoning Contract, then these 100,000 could be used to buy a cheap pet beast egg.

No need to wait until after coming out of the Mystic Ground to consider it.

If she didn't buy a pet beast egg, it could also pay off half of her family's debt.

"If it's not too much trouble." Fu Yifan's expression was serious; he felt that having Mingxi as a safety net was more reliable and secure.

It wasn't too much trouble; besides those four, Fu Yifan could defeat the other players on his own.

Her tactics would at most make his victories easier and reduce the risk of accidents.

Mingxi looked at Fu Yifan: "Senior, you're actually trying to help me, aren't you? Knowing that I've awakened the second Soul Key but don't have money to buy a pet beast, so you're trying to give me money this way?"

Although Mingxi felt that her relationship with Fu Yifan wasn't good enough for him to be so generous, you shouldn't try to guess what rich people are thinking.

You'll never figure it out no matter how much you guess.

Anyway, she didn't believe he was simply doing it because of his family elders.

Fu Yifan was stunned.

He scratched his head.

His face showed embarrassment at having his true intentions exposed.

"Cough, to be honest, there is a bit of that reason. It's not easy for you to awaken the second Soul Key, and it would be too wasteful if you couldn't contract a pet beast quickly just because of money."

"If you can contract a second pet beast, you might even achieve unexpected victories in the upcoming competitions."

"But I also truly want to achieve better results."

Mingxi didn't know what to say.

But she accepted his good intentions.

She glanced at Golden Yuanbao, who was not far away, happily feasting and now absorbing energy.

"My second Soul Key is also a Phantom Color Key. I've already decided to still perform a Rainbow Summoning Contract."

Fu Yifan was shocked.

"What?! Another Phantom Color Key? Are you just going head-to-head with the Phantom Color Key?"

Indeed.

Mingxi also couldn't understand; was God testing her?

"...But have you really decided to perform a Rainbow Summoning again? What if it happens again...?" Fu Yifan didn't finish his sentence, but his eyes secretly darted towards Golden Yuanbao.

The meaning was clear.

The Phantom Color Key Summoning Contract was simply too risky.

The Thunder Demon Bird was a clear lesson.

The Thunder Demon Bird only had its evolution chain severed; who knew what would happen with the next one?

Mingxi's talent was so good; he really didn't want her to ruin her future.

So he did not approve of Mingxi's risky approach.

"Junior, why don't you reconsider? If you need money, I can lend it to you, one or two million is no problem. You can carefully choose a pet beast you like."

Mingxi still shook her head: "Senior Fu, I know you mean well, but I've already decided."

Actually, she made this decision not because of money, but because of Golden Yuanbao.

Golden Yuanbao knew it was summoned by a Phantom Color Key and was aware of the Phantom Color Key's special nature.

It also knew that she had awakened another Phantom Color Key this time.

If she chose not to use the Rainbow Summoning Contract this time, would Golden Yuanbao misunderstand that she was not using the Rainbow Summoning because she disliked it?

Some people might say she was worrying needlessly, that Golden Yuanbao wouldn't be so petty or anything.

Whether Golden Yuanbao was petty or not was hard to say for now, but it was definitely very sensitive.

When that little fatty came to find her at noon, its series of actions and reactions at the time were enough to prove the point.

So, even for Golden Yuanbao's sake, she had to bite the bullet and perform the Rainbow Summoning Contract again.

Even in the future, if it was still a Phantom Color Key, she decided to stick with it to the very end.

Second Baby's talent wasn't important; even if it was judged unable to evolve like Golden Yuanbao, it didn't matter, because she had the Time Realm.

The Time Realm gave her the confidence to keep trying and making mistakes.

Seeing her firm expression, Fu Yifan finally knew when to stop pushing.

He could only sigh helplessly and accept the fact that his idol was a stubborn little monster.

"Then when are you planning to go to the Yushou Center?"

"I'll go after the competition tomorrow afternoon."

She had checked; the Hanning City Beast Taming Center was open until 12 AM, so going after the competition would definitely be enough time.

Tomorrow night, the Time Realm would resume operation, and she could even draw training time twice in a row.

So, the sooner Second Baby was in place, the better. Early contract, early training, no waste.

Perhaps, as Fu Yifan said, Second Baby could indeed make a stunning appearance and achieve an unexpected victory on the last day of the competition.

Facts proved that Mingxi had completely overthought things.

Her Second Baby, truly living up to being 'blind box' opened, was also an oddball.
