Chapter 61: Fraudulent Call

Regional Tournament.

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

Just in the Yu Hua region where they are located, there are 11 provinces.

And the city they are currently in, Hanggang, is just one of the 12 prefecture-level cities in Zhehai Province.

There are two conditions to participate in the regional tournament.

One is to be under 40 years old and already certified by the Alliance as having reached the C-level Beast Master.

This does not mean that all participants in the regional tournament are C-level Beast Masters under 40.

Rather, this is the minimum age and level requirement.

There is an upper limit on age, but a lower limit on the level of the Beast Master.

The second is to obtain the qualification to participate, certified by the Beast Center in the province where they are located.

Obtaining this qualification is quite troublesome.

One must pass the participation assessment in all prefecture-level cities in the province within a year.

For example, in Zhehai Province, each of the 12 prefecture-level cities has a dedicated department for the assessment.

The assessment content varies, and each examiner has different evaluation standards.

If you are lucky and encounter a soft-hearted examiner, you might pass by just catching a thief.

If you are unlucky and encounter a strict examiner, you might be asked to steal a dragon-type extraordinary creature's egg.

Zhehai Province is relatively good, with only 12 prefecture-level cities, allowing an average of one month to complete the assessment in each city.

However, the neighboring Yongwu Province has 18 prefecture-level cities.

This means only 20 days to complete the assessment in each city, which is not something a normal Beast Master can achieve.

In short, any Beast Master who can pass the participation assessment in all prefecture-level cities in the province within a year is not an ordinary person.

Sha Duo, who participated in the Yu Hua regional tournament this year and achieved a high ranking, actually said in front of so many people that he looks forward to meeting Qiao Sang in future regional tournaments.

This is a super high recognition of her.

For a moment, the live stream chat exploded.

[Is Sha Duo serious?]

[Am I about to witness the rise of a new star?]

[To be fair, she is really strong]

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

[You are really mean, but I like it]

[There's tomorrow's news]

In the guest seats.

"This Qiao Sang, though young, seems to have very experienced combat skills."

"That retreat of the clone was really amazing. She didn't even give any commands on the field, clearly a pre-planned strategy."

"And that Fire Fang, the coordination with her is flawless, even though they just recently made a contract."

"What do you think about inviting her for a live stream?" a young female guest, who had been silent, asked.

"Live stream? For what? She might be hot now, but if she loses the next match, she'll be forgotten."

"What do you think about Fire Fang wearing sunglasses?" the young female guest asked.

"Pretty cool," a guest beside her praised.

"I just opened an online store selling sunglasses. If I invite her for a live stream at this critical moment, specifically for Fire Fang, what do you think?" the young female guest continued.

Everyone looked at Fire Fang, who was wearing purple triangular sunglasses.

"Feels... pretty good," the guest beside her hesitated and replied.

...

Qiao Sang had just returned to the spectator seats with Fire Fang when Bai Yunmiao took out a pen and a pink A4 paper with a floral border from her crossbody bag and excitedly said, "Qiao Genius, quickly sign for me."

"You have everything in your bag," Qiao Sang couldn't help but comment.

"Hehe, actually, this pen and paper were for Sha Duo, but I didn't get the chance to use them," Bai Yunmiao said sheepishly.

Qiao Sang: "..."

"Is your parents' argument just an excuse for you to come here?" Qiao Sang suspected.

"How could you call me Qiao Genius if you didn't guess so quickly," Bai Yunmiao blushed, "I recently became a fan of Sha Duo. I heard he was a guest at the Bai Xin competition, so I came."

Qiao Sang: "..."

So, she came to the competition for someone else...

"Let's not talk about that. Qiao Genius, quickly sign for me. Since Sha Duo said that, your signature will definitely be valuable if you participate in the regional tournament in the future. I need to get you to sign now," Bai Yunmiao pushed the pen and paper over.

Qiao Sang didn't hesitate, took them, and was about to sign when she suddenly thought of something and looked up, "How many sheets of paper did you bring? If I sign now, will you have any left if you meet Sha Duo?"

Bai Yunmiao was taken aback, pulled the paper and pen back, and awkwardly laughed, "Haha, I forgot, I only brought this one sheet."

Qiao Sang: "..."

...

After watching the day's matches, Qiao Sang went home to review.

Dragon-type pet beasts are indeed dragon-type pet beasts. If she doesn't gain an early advantage, with Xiao Jilong's attack and defense, this match would likely be a tough battle.

Today, she underestimated Xiao Jilong's defense, thinking that Fire Fang would end the match.

If Xiao Jilong had used Iron Head to knock Fire Fang away and then created distance, the match could have continued.

Ultimately, Fire Fang's attack power is not enough.

The remaining contestants all have intermediate-level pet beasts. No matter who she faces, she has no advantage and can only rely on tactics.

The three Beast Masters with two intermediate-level pet beasts who she studied yesterday have already advanced. If she faces them, it will be difficult to win with tactics alone.

Sometimes, absolute strength cannot be compensated by tactics.

If she has good luck tomorrow and doesn't face any of them, she might have a chance to achieve a higher ranking. Otherwise...

The movement on her calf pulled Qiao Sang out of her thoughts.

She looked down and saw Fire Fang pushing her with his paw, holding a phone in his mouth.

The phone was lit up and vibrating, causing his facial fur to tremble.

It turned out someone was calling.

Qiao Sang held back a laugh, took the phone, and saw it was from an unknown number.

She swiped to hang up the call.

The phone vibrated again immediately.

It was the same number.

Qiao Sang didn't hesitate and hung up again.

She didn't have the habit of answering calls from unknown numbers.

But just as she hung up, the screen lit up again.

Qiao Sang frowned and answered the call.

"Is this Miss Qiao Sang?" It was a young woman's voice on the other end.

"Yes, who are you?"

"I am someone who believes in you. Are you interested in a business deal worth hundreds of thousands? I am at... today..."

Qiao Sang put the phone down, quickly hung up, and added the number to her blacklist.

Sure enough, it was a fraudulent call.

Trying to scam her, they picked the wrong person.

In her previous life, she had also been through society for a while. How could she be so 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 her phone, which had been hung up and was now unreachable.

What went wrong in this process...

Wishing everyone a happy Children's Day!
