Looking at the piece of paper, Mu Wanyan was surprised.
"I'm delivering a box of fragile medicine. It seems that I have to be careful when driving."
The introduction wasn't very clear.
She only knew that it was labeled as "fragile medicine." Therefore, the delivery process couldn't be bumpy.
"Little White, thank you for your hard work."
"Squeak, squeak!"
Little White Fox nodded. Holding the metal box that was even bigger than itself, it stood behind the off-road motorcycle. It was going to use its strength to reduce the impact of the bumpy journey on the metal box as much as possible.
8: 29 AM.
"Everyone, during the delivery process, the shorter the time taken, the higher the score. 60 minutes is a passing score of 60. Every minute faster adds one point. The integrity of the item is also related to the score. If the effect of the medicine is intact, it means full score. If the effect of the medicine is reduced, points will be deducted accordingly. Therefore, the more intact the medicine is, the higher the score.
Is that clear? "The host, Wang Ying, announced to the audience.
"Yes!"
The Beast Tamers nodded in unison.
"Okay, it's 8: 30. Let's go!"
Following Wang Ying's order, the nine hundred Beast Tamers took the items they needed to deliver and rushed to the Sunset Domestication Center, which was a hundred kilometers away, as fast as they could.
At this stage, the journey was a hundred kilometers.
To arrive within 60 minutes meant that the minimum speed was a hundred kilometers per hour. Otherwise, they wouldn't even reach the passing score.
Boom!
Mu Wanyan stepped on the gas pedal to the max. The off-road motorcycle carried her and the Little White Fox away like a wild beast.
The competition had officially begun!
After leaving the stadium, all the participants were running as fast as they could.
They sat on their pets and let the pets carry them to run at high speed while keeping the metal box safe.
As a matter of fact, the metal box was equipped with shock absorption and anti-impact functions. As long as it wasn't too bumpy, the medicine inside would be fine.
…
"The F-class speed is 28 meters per second, which is exactly one hundred kilometers per hour. Therefore, the minimum speed for this competition is the F-class speed. I think many people will fail."
On the couch, Wu Ming hugged Lin Yin and whispered in her ear.
Lin Yin kissed his cheek affectionately and said, "I've seen the information of the participants. Most of them have F-class pets. This competition is indeed difficult."
"Yes." Wu Ming nodded.
If the pet's speed happened to be at Class F, then there was a high chance that the pet would fail the test. After all, it was difficult for pets to run at full speed for an hour.
However, while some pets were at the F-rank, they could reach a speed of more than 30 meters per second.
Similar to the Little White Fox, its speed was 33 meters per second, which was close to 120 kilometers per hour. Even if it ran and stopped, it could still reach a destination 100 kilometers away within an hour.
On the big screen.
Mu Wanyan was riding an off-road motorcycle. The speed was controlled at 120 kilometers per hour, which was considered very fast.
Although there were bumps, Little White Fox lifted the metal box and relied on its own body to reduce the vibrations. It ensured that the metal box only had a small range of vibrations and would not affect the medicine inside.
The method used by other Beast Tamers was similar.
Huang Sanba sat on the Mighty Bear's shoulder.
The Mighty Bear hugged the metal box with its two paws and used the elasticity of its spine to reduce the vibration and avoid excessive bumps.
As an E-rank pet, the Mighty Bear's speed was also at the E-rank, reaching a speed of 50 to 60 meters per second.
At the moment, it was running at a speed of 40 meters per second, which was equivalent to a jog for it. Therefore, it could last for a long time.
"Big Bear, try to be steady in the first half of the race. Sprint in the second half."
Huang Sanba gave the order.
"Roar!"
The Mighty Bear roared as a response.
In the sky.
The host, Wang Ying, looked down. Her eyes fell on the leading D-rank Beast Tamer, Yu Xiaobo.
"Hello, everyone!"
"The one in the lead is Yu Xiaobo, a D-rank Beast Tamer from Thunder City."
"He and his pet, a D-rank Elk, are running at a speed of nearly 300 kilometers per hour. As expected of a D-rank pet!"
On the couch.
Wu Ming looked at Yu Xiaobo on the screen and smiled. "D-rank pets do have an advantage in this kind of competition. The lower limit of a D-rank pet's speed is 90 meters per second, which is 324 kilometers per hour. For him, 100 kilometers will only take 20 minutes."
"Does that mean that Thunder City is going to take first place in this competition?" Lin Yin was a little surprised.
"Aren't you happy?
After all, Thunder City is a city that you invested in. "Wu Ming reached out his hand and pinched Lin Yin's butt, making her moan.
"Bad guy!" Lin Yin patted Wu Ming's hand.
"Indeed, there are several reasons why I let Little Butterfly represent Thunder City in the competition. Firstly, it is to train Little Butterfly and make her famous. Secondly, it is because I have invested in Thunder City. If they become one of the Hundred Key Cities to be constructed, my assets will skyrocket."
"From the very beginning, I planned to strengthen my power in this way so that I can compete for the position of chairman of the super affordable shopping center headquarters."
"But, with your help, I can compete for the position of chairman even if I don't continue to invest in Thunder City."
With that said, she leaned into Wu Ming's arms.
"Continue to invest in Thunder City!"
Wu Ming said. "This is a city with great potential. Besides, Thunder City is only about one thousand kilometers away from Garan Castle. We can take care of each other."
Wu Ming had an idea.
That was:
With Garan Castle as the base and Thunder City as the support, Thunder City would gradually build a business empire in the future.
Lin Yin happened to be an investor in Thunder City. She had a lot of say in Thunder City and could even make the mayor listen to her. For Wu Ming, this was good news.
"When I build up a force strong enough, it will be easier for me to find out what information I want."
That was what Wu Ming was thinking.
At the Sunset Forest, the competition was still going on.
Twenty minutes later.
Yu Xiaobo was the first to arrive at the reception point at the west gate of the Sunset Domestication Center. He put the metal box on the desk in front of the staff.
"Please wait a moment!"
The staff entered the password right away. With a ding, the metal box opened, revealing the contents inside.
There was a thick cushion inside.
There were ten grooves in the middle, each with a glass bottle about the size of a thumb. The bottle was filled with a light green liquid.
The long-tailed monkey pet next to the staff immediately ran over. A faint golden light shot out from its eyes and shone on the bottle.
Then, a string of data appeared on the surface of the bottle.
"Congratulations, the effect of the medicine is not impaired. You will not be deducted points. Since you arrived 40 minutes early, your score is 40 + 60 = 100 points."
The next moment, on the big screen, Yu Xiaobo's score bar suddenly increased to 100 bars, which meant he had 100 points.
"Oh my God!"
"He arrived 20 minutes early and his score is 100 points. No wonder he's a D-grade beast tamer."
The audience was paying close attention to the big screen. After learning Yu Xiaobo's score, they all exclaimed.
"My cousin indeed. He didn't let me down."
Lin Yin giggled in Wu Ming's arms.
