Chapter 69 - 69 Can You Advertise This Way?_l
“Wow!”
After putting on the Contract Resonance Amplifier and experiencing the novelty of sharing vision with Ziyun, Xu Ran couldn’t help but exclaim, “This thing is really convenient.”
“Although this amplifier produces great results, it still has many limitations. If the Beast Master and the Pet Beast are more than a kilometer away from each other, it can’t be used.” Hu Zhong, who also wore an amplifier, explained, “This is why the competition venue has a diameter of one kilometer.”
“Moreover, it requires the use of a special resource, which is not small in consumption.” Hu Zhong spread out his hands, “It’s said that after the contract power reaches the fourth stage, such an amplifier is not necessary, the Beast Master can share the Pet Beast’s vision without any distance limit.”
“That gives me another reason to practice hard.” Xu Ran smiled.
“Where should we position ourselves?” Hu Zhong asked.
“The Electric Stone Vein.” Xu Ran answered without hesitation.
He had already studied the different terrains within the competition area.
This Electric Stone Vein prepared for Thunder Attribute Pet Beasts, full of conductive plasma, any thunder attribute skills could be amplified. It was the most suitable environment for Ziyun’s combat.
As for the Earth attribute Big Mouth Monkey, as long as it was on the ground, it could be amplified, just varying in degree.
“Okay.” Hu Zhong nodded, agreeing with Xu Ran’s choice of area.
After the two informed Ziyun and Big Mouth Monkey of their destination, the beasts quickly found the Electric Stone Vein location via guidance.
The Electric Stone Vein was a raised mound terrain, without any vegetation on the bare ground, and all visible were pieces of purple crystal interspersed in the rock, which were fused unmined Electric Stones.
“Crackle–”
The moment the two beasts entered the area, the stable plasma all around began to stir, tiny electric arcs emerged out of thin air before quickly dissipating.
Ziyun seemed quite comfortable, being so widely familiar with this sort of free-floating Thunderforce. And the Big Mouth Monkey, although somewhat uncomfortable, the earth attribute repressed thunder, so it wouldn’t be affected too much by this force.
The two beasts soon found a suitable stronghold after familiarizing themselves with their environment.
Many teams had their eyes on Xu Ran, their beasts following Ziyun, soon appearing near the Electric Stone Vein.
Seeing the terrain chosen by Ziyun, their faces turned serious. They quietly surrounded the Electric Stone Vein and occupied positions.
The other three contestants also encountered similar situations.
As time ticked away, the five minutes of free dispersal ended soon.
“In a moment, the rematch will officially begin.” The host looked at the fifty-four Beast Masters wearing amplifiers, bracing themselves, and slowly said, “As the rematch begins, we will connect the live broadcast and start the streaming.”
“So now, let’s count down five seconds–”
“Five–”
“Four–”
“Three–”
“Two–”
“One!”
Sitting in front of the TV, watching the countdown numbers suddenly disappear on the black screen, Tan Yue vigourously raised his hand, “I want to see how you, this con artist, promote your advertisement today!”
Three days ago in the auditions, he was certain that Xu Ran chose to battle against the earth attribute pet beast, the type he was weak against, as an excuse for his own defeat. As a result, he was completely blown away.
Since then, Tan Yue had become one of Xu Ran’s haters.
He had posted many threads on the forum denouncing Xu Ran for his promotional activities, upon learning about the high prices of Starfire Foster Care Shop, he was ecstatic. He posted threads referring to Xu Ran as a “con artist”. The title Xu Ran had acquired had quite a bit to do with him.
Upon learning that the rematch format was changed to a live broadcast, Tan Yue was thrilled.
Under live conditions, the broadcaster would surely focus the camera on the best performing pet beast, not the Beast Master outside the competition area. In this way, it was impossible for Xu Ran to wave his flag and be seen like before!
Thinking of Xu Ran’s attempts to promote but failing miserably, Tan Yue felt genuinely pleased.
Before long, the host’s voice came from the live picture, “Hello viewers in front of the TV, this is the rematch of the New Beast Master Challenge Match.”
“At the moment, our fifty-four contestants in the designated area command their pet beasts remotely through the Contract Resonance Amplifier they have on!”
The live picture cut to the players, and the first thing Tan Yue noticed was Xu Ran.
Seeing him carrying the same bag as last time but not taking out the flag, a smug expression appeared on Tan Yue’s face.
The darn fellow was finally punished!
“As the rematch begins, let’s see how the fifty-four pet beasts are doing.”
As soon as the host’s voice fell, the picture quickly cut through each of the fifty-four pet beasts.
When the image of Ziyun flashed across the TV screen, Tan Yue’s expression froze for a moment, he instinctively rubbed his eyes.
Just now, it seemed like something shocking flashed before his eyes?
Since the picture was moving too quickly, he didn’t get a chance to see clearly.
But for some reason, Tan Yue had an ominous feeling.
“Contestant Lyu Guang is in a tough situation!” The host’s voice suddenly rose, and at the same time, the live image was switched to Lyu Guang’s Combat Bear Apprentice, “A total of eight pet beasts have surrounded the Combat Bear Apprentice!”
“The Combat Bear Apprentice chose not to resist and is trying to break out using the complex features of the chosen forest environment!”
“It’s making a move! The Combat Bear Apprentice has made a move!”
“Two stars skills, Starlight Level-Wave Fist! Combat Bear Apprentice knocks down Zhang He’s Chameleon with a punch and successfully breaks out! It chose to leave without entangling with other pet beasts! Chameleon falls out of the fight, Zhang He is the first to be eliminated!”
“That punch, sss…” Tan Yue couldn’t help but gasp.
The picture pauses on the figure of the Combat Bear Apprentice escaping, then it quickly switches to a huge white wolf appearing on the screen. Its speed was so fast that it left only an afterimage, blooming flowers of frost on the glacier terrain.
“Contestant Xu Jiujiu also encountered a collective attack from other contestants, but Xu Jiujiu’s Frost Dust Wolf is so fast! That’s a Two Star Skill, Starlight Level-Frost Flower Path! The other contestant’s pet beasts can’t stop it at all!”
“Amazing!” Tan Yue praised as he watched, “This Frost Dust Wolf is really cool!”
As the dispute situation at Xu Jiujiu’s site ended, the live picture jumped again, and a massive black dragon, about two meters tall, appeared on the screen. It fought against six others on its own, defeating them with an invincible momentum. Beside it was a Flame Fox pulsating with fire and a Colorful Cloud Parrot enveloped in colourful lights, the three pet beasts stood on the same battle line.
“Contestant Gu Ling found two powerful helpers, other contestants gave up on their collective attack, they chose to retreat temporarily!”
“Now, let’s see the situation with contestant Xu Ran–”
In the next moment, the picture switched to Ziyun.
This time Tan Yue saw Ziyun’s clothes clearly.
His eyes widened, and he weakly slumped onto the couch.
“Even like this, you can still advertise?!”
