Wang Ying nodded. She spoke into the microphone.
"We can't help it. Reality is cruel.
"We used dummies in this competition. If we had used real people, they would have been injured for various reasons, such as being poisoned by poisonous gas, or being chased by ferocious beasts because they ran away in fright, or dying from other reasons.
"Last year, a professional pet rescue team went into a similar ancient town to save people. They encountered a group of ferocious beasts. Not only did they lose several members, but they only managed to save a little over a hundred of the one thousand and five hundred hostages!"
The Beast Tamers lowered their heads when they heard the bloody and painful reality.
The audience in the stadium also looked gloomy.
In front of a group of ferocious beasts, ordinary people really had no way to fight back. Even if they had the help of Beast Tamers, they might not be able to survive.
"This time, you have done very well. Out of a thousand hostages, 435 were saved. Although most of them were injured, and some were even paralyzed, they are still alive.
"And being alive is the greatest victory!"
The host, Wang Ying, said emotionally. She encouraged all the Beast Tamers present and hoped they could continue to work hard.
"The competition is over. All participants, please return to the stadium!"
A few minutes later, she held the microphone and turned the volume to the maximum. Her voice was transmitted to the ruins of the ancient town ten kilometers away.
Some Beast Tamers who were still in the middle of killing returned right away.
Ten minutes later.
All nine hundred participants arrived at the stadium. They looked up at the score on the big screen.
Yu Xiaobo was first, with seven hundred thirty points.
Huang Sanba was second, with five hundred and eighty six points.
Since he was in the same team as Huang Sanba, Li Mohuang, whose score was slightly lower, was considered invalid and not counted.
The third place was another E-level Beast Tamer, with five hundred and fifty-five points.
As for the other D-level Beast Tamers, their scores were only between four hundred and five hundred, which was not high.
Today's competition was about rescue.
The prerequisite for rescue was to be able to find the person first. If the person could not be found, then there would be no rescue at all.
Therefore, the higher the level of the pet, the better. It depended on whether the pet had the talent to find the person.
Sometimes, if an average F-level pet had the talent to rescue, it could be more important than a D-level pet at a critical moment.
"Okay, the first stage of the rescue competition has officially come to an end. Everyone, see you tomorrow!"
The host, Wang Ying, announced the results and left quickly.
"Aiya, let's go!"
The audience left the stage one after another.
"Congratulations on getting first place." Before leaving, Huang Sanba saw Yu Xiaobo and waved his hand.
"I was just lucky."
Yu Xiaobo shook his head. "It just so happens that my pet has a talent for scent tracking. Otherwise, I would only be able to score four or five hundred points at most. I can't compare with you."
Looking at the team of Beast Tamers from Garan Castle, Yu Xiaobo felt that they were all very powerful.
Huang Sanba had 586 points, and Li Mohuang had 580 points. If this was a team competition, it would be terrifying.
He felt that in the team competition tomorrow, Garan Castle would very likely win first place.
Of course, the contents of the team competition had yet to be confirmed, so it was still too early to say.
"The three of you, I'll take my leave first."
Yu Xiaobo nodded and sat on the back of the D-grade elk. Under the envious gazes of many people, he left.
"Let's go too!"
Huang Sanba and the others also returned to the villa, receiving a warm welcome and celebration from the team members.
In the villa district.
Ring ring ring!
Wu Ming's cell phone rang. He took a look at the screen. It was Huang Sanba calling.
"Well done. You got second place in the individual competition." Wu Ming picked up the phone and congratulated him.
"It's all thanks to the E-grade sonar detection deployed by Brother Wu. Li Mohuang said that he also wants to buy one for his Armored Warrior."
"No problem. I'll ask Long Dabao to send it to you."
Fifteen minutes later.
Wu Ming left the villa.
He handed a small wooden box to Long Dabao, who was lying on the grass and sleeping, and said, "Send this to Huang Sanba. Go and come back quickly. Don't waste too much time on the road, and don't run around."
"Awoo!"
Long Dabao picked up the wooden box with its mouth and flapped its wings. Like a rocket, it soared hundreds of meters into the sky. It flapped its wings again and accelerated to a hundred meters per second. Soon, it disappeared into the clouds.
…
In the afternoon.
Wu Ming was lying on the bed. Ye San Niang was sitting on his back. Her soft and nimble hands were massaging his shoulders and back.
"Boss, are you satisfied with my service?"
"Satisfied!"
"Then how many points will you give me?"
"If it's a full score of 100, I'll give you 82 points. As for the remaining 18 points, I'll give you 666 points."
"Pfft!"
Ye San Niang covered her mouth and chuckled. "Boss, you're so funny."
"Of course!" Wu Ming suddenly turned around and met Ye San Niang's eyes. The corners of their mouths curled up slightly. They were about to start.
Bang bang bang!
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Wu Ming immediately lost interest. He curled his lips and said, "Who's outside?"
"Brother Wu, it's me." Wan Siyu's voice came. "Someone downstairs said that they want to visit you."
"F * ck, who's so bad at picking the time!
Let them wait for a while. "Wu Ming and Ye San Niang looked at each other and quickly got up. After getting dressed, they went downstairs.
In the lobby on the first floor.
On the sofa sat a middle-aged man with a square face wearing glasses, a sexy and graceful beauty in office wear, and a silver-haired old man in a gray robe with a walking stick.
"Hello, H.e. Wu Ming!"
The moment they saw Wu Ming, the three of them stood up at the same time.
"You three are?" Wu Ming sat on the sofa and looked at them curiously.
"I'm the representative of the Li family of Nanjiang City, Li Yuanmu." The middle-aged man with a square face and glasses introduced himself.
Li family?
Wu Ming's eyes flickered. He thought of the tycoon Li family in the north of Garan Castle and their helmsman, Li Zhong.
He remembered Li Zhong saying that the Li family of Garan Castle was just a branch of the Li family of Nanjiang City.
Then, Li Yuanmu in front of him was from Li Zhong's family?
"I'm the representative of the Super Affordable Shopping Center's headquarters, the current CEO, Liu Yuanyuan." The sexy and graceful beauty in office wear introduced.
Hearing that, Wu Ming had a strange expression.
Were all the representatives of the Super Affordable Shopping Center similar to this beauty in office wear?
It seemed like the CEO of this shopping center knew what men liked.
Wu Ming complained in his heart.
"I'm the representative of the Spiritual Medicine Company, and also a professional appraiser. My surname is Bai, and my name is Wuyi. You can call me Old Man Bai." The silver-haired but energetic gray-robed old man said.
Bai Wuyi?
Wu Ming was unfamiliar with this name.
He thought for a while without batting an eyelid and said, "Welcome to the three of you. Is there anything I can help you with?"
"We'd like to get to know each other."
The three representatives of the three tycoons smiled and said tacitly, with a smile on their faces the whole time.
Hearing that, Wu Ming went into deep thought.
He knew that the so-called "get to know each other" was just a formality. The three of them took the initiative to look for him most likely because of his outstanding performance in the first round of the trainer's individual competition and wanted to befriend him.
Thinking of this, Wu Ming smiled at the three of them and said, "Welcome, welcome!"
