Chapter 52: Chapter 49 The Taste of Money
“Could that be an investor’s relative?”
The thought was quickly dismissed by everyone.
Investors were usually flush with cash, their relatives wouldn’t likely contract with just a Cotton Caterpillar…
Qiao Sang felt relieved.
Whether it was the first battle or not, this must be Fang Sisi’s and the Cotton Caterpillar’s first official match, and it was a good start that they made it without any issues.
“Fire-Toothed Dog, who do you think will win?” Qiao Sang asked.
The pet beast of contestant number 12 was a Sha Duo mouse, skilled in self-defense and evasion.
And the Cotton Caterpillar, a synonym for weakness, was basically at the bottom of the strength rankings among all entry-level pet beasts until it evolved.
Unless there was an unforeseen event, Fang Sisi had no chance of winning.
Qiao Sang asked Fire-Toothed Dog merely to get it to observe the situation on the field more closely, to develop the ability to judge the level of both sides.
“Ya.”
Fire-Toothed Dog pointed in the direction of Fang Sisi and barked.
Qiao Sang: “…”
Was the Fire-Toothed Dog’s vision really that bad?!
“Why?” Qiao Sang couldn’t help asking.
“Ya Ya.”
Fire-Toothed Dog explained in its slightly hoarse voice.
This person had just complimented it for being handsome.
Qiao Sang breathed a sigh of relief.
At least it wasn’t because of poor vision…
“Contestant number 12, Zhang Shuo, is 16 years old and already has one year of beast taming experience, while his opponent, Fang Sisi, only became a Beast Tamer not long ago. Sha Duo, what do you think will be the outcome of this match?” the middle-aged commentator with slicked-back hair asked the handsome young man next to him.
A typical pet beast competition commentary is divided between a main and a co-commentator.
The main commentator generally has keen eyesight and a fluid tongue, responsible for fervently reporting the live developments of the match.
The co-commentators are usually guests with a following, invited by the organizers.
They are generally responsible for analyzing strategies and tactics from a professional perspective to help the audience understand the match.
The guest that Bai Xinsai invited this time was Sha Duo, who recently became quite popular.
He won over the audience with his handsome appearance and never-give-up attitude in the Yuhua Region competition not long ago.
Although he only made it to the top 24, his popularity was even higher than some who were in the top 10.
“I think…”
Before Sha Duo could start sharing his opinion, the match on the field had already ended.
He continued, “It seems I don’t need to say anything.”
Right at the start of the match, the Sha Duo mouse burrowed underground, and the Cotton Caterpillar was simply left bewildered on the spot, getting knocked unconscious by the Sha Duo mouse as it emerged from the ground.
Qiao Sang put away his phone he was using to record the match and checked the time.

It was not all that surprising…
Fang Sisi returned to her seat with the Cotton Caterpillar, sighing deeply, “I lost so badly.”
Qiao Sang nodded, “It was quite bad.”
Fire-Toothed Dog didn’t speak, but nodded several times in agreement.
Fang Sisi: “…”
As her friend, shouldn’t she be consoling her?!
“But at this stage, the Cotton Caterpillar naturally doesn’t have an advantage. Once you evolve it into a Baxue Butterfly, the opponent likely won’t stand a chance against you,” Qiao Sang said.
Fang Sisi looked at her plump Cotton Caterpillar and was somewhat consoled.
She hadn’t come to the competition expecting to go far, just to join in the fun and gain some experience.
Fang Sisi quickly adjusted her attitude.
She pointed at the match of group seven and laughed, “Hahaha, that Deep-fur Turtle is so silly, just standing there stupidly getting hit.”
