After coming out of the Thunder Pool, Mingxi felt that although the improvement effect was not as obvious as the last time at Thunder Pool Mountain Villa, it was much stronger than her normal training.

Especially after the pain subsided, it seemed that even the fatigue in her body had disappeared.

Mingxi, fully revived, smacked her lips, thinking she could go for another dip later.

Each dip was better than the last.

More dips, healthier.

It turned out that soaking in the Thunder Pool after exercise had a better effect than soaking in it while in peak condition.

A normal person working continuously for 66 hours without rest might die suddenly, but in the Time Realm, Mingxi didn't need to worry about that.

She only needed to overcome the dullness and boredom of repeatedly doing the same thing for a long time.

In this regard, Golden Yuanbao was stronger than Mingxi; apart from soaking in the Thunder Pool every twenty hours, it spent almost all its remaining time in the static simulation room, practicing Thunderstorm tirelessly.

It was truly in love with Thunderstorm.

Besides training, Mingxi didn't forget to spend half her time reading and studying; she had brought all her textbooks with her before leaving home.

After all, a good Beast Tamers is not an illiterate person who doesn't want to be a top student.

When the 66 hours were almost up, Mingxi took Golden Yuanbao back to Room 1.

Golden Yuanbao still lay down to enter and came out.

Mingxi then went to check on Second Baby's incubation progress.

On the incubator's display screen:

Incubation Progress: 13.75%.

Oh, wow!

It was much faster than she had expected!

Mingxi calculated that 13.75% incubation progress in 66 hours meant 5% progress in 24 hours.

This meant that if Second Baby were to complete its incubation in the incubator, it would take 20 days.

"Guangguang, if I want to exchange for incubation time, what is the time flow rate compared to reality?"

"Master, you are truly very perceptive."

Guangguang flatly flattered Mingxi.

Mingxi: "..."

"If Master decides to exchange the reward duration for incubation time, you don't need to consider the ratio to real-world time, because no matter how much time you exchange, the incubation time will be used up by the next time you enter the Time Realm."

Mingxi raised an eyebrow.

"You mean even if I exchange for four days now, and then immediately use the reward duration to come in again, those four days of incubation time will have passed?"

"Yes."

Awesome.

"Okay, I understand."

Mingxi looked at Golden Yuanbao, who had already come out of the detection cabin.

"Golden Yuanbao, I want to discuss something with you."

Mingxi earnestly explained the pet egg and incubator to it.

"All our reward duration was won by you, so logically, it's all yours. Last time in the Thunder Pool, I used the reward duration without asking you, and I need to apologize to you for that."

The situation was urgent then, and she couldn't discuss it with Golden Yuanbao. It was wrong of her to use the reward duration without asking it.

Golden Yuanbao tilted its head.

"Lei Lei?"

Why apologize?

"Lei Lei."

"Lei Lei?"

Didn't you say before that what's yours is Xiao Ye's, and what's Xiao Ye's is yours?

So why apologize to Xiao Ye?

Mingxi was speechless.

She hadn't expected Golden Yuanbao to actually remember everything she had said.

Today was truly a day of being touched by Golden Yuanbao.

"You're right, but I still need to get your consent for this, after all, the reward duration was earned by your hard work."

"This is a matter of mutual respect, don't you agree?"

Golden Yuanbao gave a cry, indicating understanding.

Mingxi continued, "So, what I mean is that I want to use the reward duration to exchange for Second Baby's incubation time. Do you agree?" 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"Lei Lei." Golden Yuanbao nodded without hesitation.

In fact, it didn't really care much about the reward duration; for it, the daily extracted training duration was already very good.

How much was the reward duration anyway?

It wasn't even enough for its Beast Tamers to go to the restroom.

It was fine to use it for the new stone. As for its Beast Tamers' restroom time, it could just earn more later.

Xiao Ye was just that generous.

Mingxi was greatly comforted by her pet's high level of awareness.

With a wave of her small hand, she first exchanged two days of incubation time for Second Baby, consuming two hours of reward duration.

Remaining Reward Duration: 112 minutes 16 seconds.

After arranging Second Baby, she picked up Golden Yuanbao's newly printed detection report.

Then her eyes widened suddenly.

Energy Peak: 7202.

Average Energy: 7039.

She raised her hand and rubbed her eyes.

The data above was still so shocking.

What's going on?

Golden Yuanbao's energy peak was clearly only 6098 in the previous detection.

It had only been two days, and the energy peak had directly soared by 1104 points?

Even if today's extracted training duration was doubled, it couldn't have increased that much at once, could it?

Mingxi had calculated based on previous data that generally, with 24 hours of training in the Time Realm, Golden Yuanbao's energy increase fluctuated between 180 and 280 points.

Today's training duration was 66 hours. Even calculating at the highest 280 points of energy, today's gain would only be 770 points.

Where did the extra 334 points of energy come from?

Mingxi could only think of the Thunder Pool.

The only difference in Golden Yuanbao's training program today compared to previous days was the addition of soaking in the Thunder Pool.

So, the Thunder Pool in the Time Realm could directly increase Golden Yuanbao's energy value?

The more Mingxi analyzed, the more excited she became.

She wished she could start dancing the Yangge in place and sing, "Good luck is coming, good luck is coming..."

Although this guess had not yet been confirmed, Mingxi felt it was almost certainly true.

At this moment, the duration on Golden Yuanbao's head display completely zeroed out, and Mingxi's vision blurred, and she was already back in her hotel room.

All the items she had brought in earlier were scattered on the floor.

The inspection report in her hand had disappeared.

After the training duration was cleared, all items she brought in (except those exchanged for special purposes using reward duration) were not allowed to remain in the Time Realm, and items from the Time Realm could not be brought out.

Her entire attention was drawn by the abnormal surge in energy value, so Mingxi did not clearly see some changes in Golden Yuanbao's skill bar.

The next day.

The group stage entered its final phase.

Mingxi looked around the stadium. Was it an illusion?

Why did it feel like there were many more spectators today than yesterday?

Yesterday's stands were clearly patchy like psoriasis, but today they looked like a bald head with a wig.

Although the jungle was fake, its density was real.

"Look, that Xiao Guniang is Mingxi, isn't she?"

"It's her! She looks so young, and she's even carrying a cartoon backpack, like a primary school kid."

"She is very young, okay? She's only 14, still a little kid."

Mingxi, carrying a small backpack and still a little kid: "..."

She heard everything.

Not happy (¡ • ˇ ‸ ˇ • ¡)

"Junior, do you know? You're famous."

Fu Yifan must have secretly practiced ghost steps; he always appeared behind Mingxi without anyone noticing.

Mingxi glanced at the almost full stands, her expression calm.

"I know now."

She also guessed it was probably due to the increasing popularity of this Changheng Cup.

Although Mingxi was not yet sure what she wanted to do in the future, she had considered developing towards becoming a Professional Beastmaster.

After all, Professional Beastmasters in this world earn more money than celebrities, yet they have a social status that celebrities do not.

Although Mingxi had no grand ambitions and only wanted to earn money to support her family,

But a person lives only once, so they can't just live for scraps their whole life, can they?

She also needed to plan her future well.

Mingxi had three matches this morning, against Chen Yuan, Li Fugui, and Sheng Shiyan respectively.
