Beast taming, starting from zero point-Chapter 64 - 60 Scam Calls

Chapter 64: Chapter 60 Scam Calls

Regional Competition.

As the name suggests, it is the largest scale event in a region.

Just taking the Yuhua Region they were in, there were 11 provinces.

And the Hangkang City they were in was just one of the 12 prefecture-level cities in the Zhehai Province out of those 11 provinces.

To participate in the regional competition, there were two conditions.

One, you had to be under the age of 40 and already certified by the Alliance as having reached the level of a C-grade Beast Tamer.

This wasn’t to say that all those who participated in the regional competition were C-grade Beast Tamers under 40.

Rather, these are the minimum age and level requirements.

An upper limit was set for the age, but the requirement for the Beast Tamer’s level was a lower limit.

Two, you needed to obtain the certification to participate from the Beast Taming Center of the province’s capital.

Getting this certification was somewhat troublesome.

You had to pass the participation assessment in all of the prefecture-level cities in the province within a year.

Take Zhehai Province for example; each of the 12 prefecture-level cities had departments set up in local Beast Taming Centers specifically for assessing qualifications.

The content of the assessments varied, and the evaluative criteria of each examiner were different.

If you were lucky and encountered a lenient examiner, they might just let you pass by catching a thief.

If you were unlucky and met a strict examiner, it wasn’t impossible they’d have you steal an egg from a dragon-type extraordinary creature.

Zhehai Province was barely manageable, with only 12 prefecture-level cities, averaging out to having one month to complete the certification in each city.

But Yongwu Province, close to Zhehai Province, had a total of 18 prefecture-level cities.

That meant you only had 20 days to complete the certification in each city, which just wasn’t feasible for an ordinary Beast Tamer.

In summary, a Beast Tamer who could pass the participation assessment in all of the prefecture-level cities within the province in one year was no ordinary person.

Sha Duo, having just participated in this year’s Yuhua Regional Competition and achieved a not insignificant ranking, actually stated in front of so many people that he looked forward to encountering Qiao Sang in future regional competitions.

It was an immensely high recognition for her.

In no time, the livestream’s barrage of comments exploded.

[Is Sha Duo serious?]

[Could I be witnessing the rise of a superstar?]

[To be honest, that person is truly strong]

[Even if she can participate in the regional competition, Sha Duo will be over 40 by then, right?]

[The previous comment is seriously mean, but I like it]

[We have tomorrow’s news]

In the guest seats.

“This Qiao Sang, although young, seems to have quite seasoned combat experience.”

“That Doppelganger move was brilliant, didn’t even see her give a command on the field; it’s clearly a strategy designed before the match.”

“Also, that Fire-Toothed Dog, you can’t tell at all that it was a recent contract from the coordination between them.”

“What do you think about getting her to do a livestream?” the previously silent young female guest suggested.

“A livestream? Doing what? There might be some hype now, but if she loses the next match, she’ll be forgotten.”

“How do you feel about the Fire-Toothed Dog wearing sunglasses?” the young female guest inquired.

“Pretty cool,” another guest praised.

“I’ve just opened an online store selling sunglasses. If I ask her to do a livestream at this moment, accurately speaking, if I ask the Fire-Toothed Dog to do a livestream, what do you think?” the young female guest continued.

Everyone turned their gazes simultaneously towards the Fire-Toothed Dog in the purple triangular sunglasses in the arena.

“It feels… actually pretty good.” another guest hesitated before answering.

…

As Qiao Sang hugged the Fire-Toothed Dog and just returned to the spectator seats, Bai Yunmiao pulled out a pen and a pink, lace-edged A4 paper from her sling bag, excitedly saying, “Qiao the Genius, quickly sign an autograph for me.”

“How do you have everything in your bag.” Qiao Sang couldn’t help but tease.

“Hehe, actually, this paper and pen were meant for Sha Duo; it’s just that there hasn’t been a chance to use them,” Bai Yunmiao admitted with embarrassment.

Qiao Sang: “…”

“Surely, your parents’ quarrel isn’t just an excuse for you to come here, is it?” Qiao Sang asked suspiciously.

“Why else would they call you Qiao the Genius? You guessed it so quickly,” Bai Yunmiao said with a blush. “I’ve recently become a fan of Sha Duo. When I heard he was coming as a guest for the Bai Xinsai, I just had to come.”

Qiao Sang: “…”

So she had participated in the competition for someone else’s sake…

“Let’s not talk about that. Qiao the Genius, quickly give me an autograph. Sha Duo said so himself, if you participate in the regional competition later, your signature will definitely be worth money. I’ve got to hurry up and get it from you now,” Bai Yunmiao said, pushing the paper and pen toward her.

Qiao Sang wasn’t pretentious. She took them and was about to write when she suddenly thought of something and looked up to ask, “How many sheets of paper did you bring? If I sign this, will you still have paper in case you meet Sha Duo?”

Bai Yunmiao paused, then awkwardly pulled the paper and pen back and said with a forced laugh, “Haha, I’d forgotten about that. I only brought this one sheet.”

Qiao Sang: “…”

…

After watching a day’s worth of matches, Qiao Sang went home to review the games.

Dragon-type Pet Beasts are indeed formidable, but if they don’t secure an advantage early on in the game, with the attack and defense of a small Jiling Dragon, the match is bound to be a tough battle.

Today, she underestimated the small Jiling Dragon’s defense, thinking she could end the match with Flame Tooth.

If at the end, instead of charging headfirst, the small Jiling Dragon had used ‘Iron Head’ to throw the Fire-Toothed Dog off first and then create distance, they might have been able to fight on for a while.

In the end, the Fire-Toothed Dog’s attack power just wasn’t enough.

The remaining contenders all have mid-level Pet Beasts; she has no advantage against any of them and can only rely on tactics to prevail.

The three Beast Tamers, each with two mid-level Pet Beasts, who she had studied yesterday, had all successfully advanced; facing them would make a tactical victory difficult.

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

If she’s lucky tomorrow and doesn’t encounter one of those three first, she might still have a chance for a higher ranking; otherwise…

The movement of being nudged on her calf pulled Qiao Sang back from her thoughts.

She looked down to see the Fire-Toothed Dog with a smartphone in its mouth, nudging her with its paws.

The smartphone’s screen was lit up in the Fire-Toothed Dog’s mouth, and the vibration shook its facial fur tremblingly.

It turned out someone had called.

Qiao Sang suppressed a smile, took the phone, and saw it was an unfamiliar number.

She swiped with 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 a habit of answering calls from unfamiliar numbers.

But the very next second after she hung up, the screen lit up again.

Qiao Sang frowned slightly and pressed the answer button.

“Is this Miss Qiao Sang?” came the voice of a young woman on the other side of the call.

“It’s me. Who is this?” Qiao Sang asked.

“I’m someone who appreciates you. Are you interested in discussing a deal worth tens of thousands? I was at…”

Qiao Sang took the phone away from her ear, quickly hung up, and blocked the number.

Sure enough, it was a scam call.

They thought they could fool her, but they were mistaken.

In her last life, she had been tempered by society for a time; there was no way she would be easily deceived.

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

A young woman stared at the phone in her hand, bewildered by the call that was hung up and could no longer get through.

Which part of the plan had gone wrong…
