Beast taming, starting from zero point novel Chapter 65

Chapter 65: Chapter 61: Why Don’t You Speak?

July 5th.

Qiao Sang arrived at her usual spot in the Pet Beast Arena two days prior, unsurprised to find Bai Yunmiao already there.

Since Bai Yunmiao had come for Sha Duo, even if her parents hadn’t argued, she would have found another reason to come to the event.

“Did you bring the mirror?” Qiao Sang asked as she sat down.

“I brought it.” Bai Yunmiao took the mirror out of her bag and handed it over, expressing her surprise as she watched Qiao Sang meticulously check her reflection, “Qiao the Genius, why are you suddenly so conscious about your appearance?”

It’s not that Qiao Sang didn’t care about her appearance before.

Usually, she just tied her hair in a ponytail, and she always took the bus to the Shouke Garden, preferring to sit by the window and enjoy the breeze.

As a result, by the time she arrived at the Pet Beast Arena, even if her ponytail was neat, the hair in front would still be somewhat disheveled.

Contrasted with others who had meticulously groomed themselves, it gave others the false impression that she wasn’t too concerned about her appearance.

Once Qiao Sang confirmed that her reflection in the mirror was no different from usual, she hesitated, “I don’t know if I’m being too narcissistic, but I feel like a lot of people are staring at me today.”

The Fire-Toothed Dog beside her watched its Beast Tamer put down the mirror and then took it with its paw to check its own reflection.

“Ya Ya.”

The Fire-Toothed Dog agreed with a nod while looking at itself.

Many people were staring at it too.

Realization dawned on Bai Yunmiao, and she laughed, “Sha Duo praised you so much yesterday; it’s normal for people to pay attention to you. Several news articles came out today about it.”

“Is the celebrity effect that serious?” Qiao Sang asked.

“You’re getting off easy. At most, people look at you twice. Last time, a rookie Beast Tamer who was publicly praised by Wang Dian’ao had people find his address, surround him at his doorstep, and challenge him to duels,” Bai Yunmiao reflected, “That wasn’t a duel; it was a group battle. They besieged him for a whole week.”

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, then seriously said, “I appreciate that Sha Duo isn’t as famous as Wang Dian’ao.”

Bai Yunmiao: “…”

…

Only eight contestants remained in the Bai Xinsai.

F-rank Beast Tamers’ matches were short, and even with Pet Beast Performers increasing the duration, it was not possible to have only four matches and determine the top four in one day.

The organizers had already announced the schedule of the event in advance.

The morning of July 5th would determine the top four, followed by the top three in the afternoon.

Today was the final day of the Bai Xinsai.

As time trickled by, more and more people entered.

Qiao Sang, observing the packed audience stands surrounding the Pet Beast Arena, sighed, “I don’t know where the organizers found so many people to watch.”

Just yesterday, a quarter of the seats were empty.

Bai Yunmiao cast a glance her way and asked, “Don’t you ever follow external information?”

She still remembered when she first added Qiao the Genius, messages sent to her went unanswered.

It was not until they met again that she realized there were indeed people in this world who could resist checking their phones.

“I do check it, but I didn’t yesterday,” Qiao Sang replied.

She had spent her time training with the Fire-Toothed Dog and studying their opponents.

“Yesterday, the platform’s official account announced that today there would be an exhibition match between Gao Xulu and Sha Duo. After the match, five lucky audience members would be drawn to get a photo and autographs with them,” Bai Yunmiao explained.

Qiao Sang instantly understood why so many people had shown up.

Gao Xulu was also a contestant in this year’s Yuhua Region competition.

Though he didn’t make the top ten, his ranking was still quite decent.

What was most important was that Sha Duo had been defeated by Gao Xulu.

The organizers really knew how to play their marketing strategies.

Qiao Sang looked towards the commentator’s booth.

Instead of the usual two people, there were now three people seated there.

To the left of the middle-aged commentator sat a woman with chestnut short hair.

It was Gao Xulu.

…

As the opening ceremony came to an end, the images on the big screen above the arena scrambled.

Soon after, the list of the first pair of competitors appeared on-screen.

Fortunately, the performers were professional and did not let the atmosphere at the venue die down. _{freewёbnoνel.com}
