Why isn't what I command considered a beast?

"The secret realm opens on April 30th, so it'll be less than 20 days," Mingxi murmured.

She checked the information about the internal selection competition again.

This matter was not difficult to investigate, and there was even a related trending topic on Mengbo's hot search list.

A wealthy second-generation heir from Nancheng bought an invitation card for the internal selection competition of Changheng Group at a high price.

Mingxi quickly browsed through the relevant topics.

It's said that a rich second-generation guy surnamed Li from the neighboring southern city is buying up selection competition invitation cards online for 5 star coins, and he's open to anyone who offers them, the more the merrier.

Mingxi just saw a report about the price of the invitation card.

After announcing this benefit, Changheng Group has never restricted its employees from selling or transferring the invitation cards, since it was originally stated that it was an employee benefit.

Once the benefits have been distributed, how the employees handle them is their own business.

Besides, even if they were not allowed to sell, it wouldn't be possible, since not every employee has relatives or friends of the right age.

Invitation cards were the most expensive in the first year, typically selling for 5 Star Coins.

But it didn't work the following year.

It's not that the cards in Changheng Secret Land aren't attractive anymore, but rather that there are too many participants, making the chances of advancing extremely low.

The total number of full-time employees with five or more years of service across all companies under the Changheng Group exceeds 3000, which means that the number of participants in the internal selection competition will not be less than that.

The chance of narrowing down from 3000 to 20 is less than 0.7%.

The chances are not slim.

In addition, the competition has age and geographical restrictions, so how many 15- or 6-year-old boys can achieve financial freedom?

If parents are unwilling to pay, there's nothing they can do even if they want to participate.

As a result, the invitation cards depreciated significantly in the following years, and could only be sold for a maximum of 2.

This year, a wealthy tycoon suddenly appeared out of nowhere, instantly driving up the value of the invitation cards.

Mingxi glanced at the invitation card placed to the side.

So this invitation card is worth 5?

Why don't we just sell it and get some money?

The moment the thought crossed Mingxi's mind, she immediately shook her head and dismissed it.

Putting aside the fact that she and Jin Yuanbao were both very interested in the selection competition, how would she explain the sale to Shao Bihua and her daughter?

Tell them she's really greedy, and that the coins in hand are more worthwhile than the elusive Secret Realm cards.

Does she even care about her benefactor's reputation?

Moreover, Shao Dingding had clearly stated that she wanted to watch her competition.

I don't want to disappoint the young lady.

Mingxi regretfully closed the purchase request page and continued to check information about the selection competition.

She discovered that the internal selection competition held by Changheng Group was quite well-known in Longhua, with many related posts and discussions online.

Previous competitions have featured interviews and live recordings by professional media, and last year the broadcasting rights were even sold to a television station.

They're just typical capitalists, aren't they?

They know how to make money.

Mingxi selected some representative and talked-about competitions to watch. Based on the basic strength of the participants in previous years, she could roughly estimate the general strength of this year's contestants.

There aren't many E-rank beast tamers; the vast majority of participants are F-rank, but the top twenty each year are still predominantly E-rank beast tamers.

This is not because the E-rank Beastmaster has two pets. The competition uses a 1v1 mode, so having an extra pet does not have a significant impact on the result.

However, the reason why E-level Beast Tamers can become E-level Beast Tamers is not only because they have awakened a second Soul Key, but also because they must have a mid-level or even high-level pet beast.

This is where the true advantage of an E-rank Beastmaster lies.

Of course, there are very few E-level beast tamers who can raise their pets to a high level at the age of 15 or 6.

Mingxi compared the strength of Jin Yuanbao with that of the top twenty pets from previous years.

If she's not unlucky enough to face off against a contestant with a high-level pet in the elimination rounds, she has a good chance of making it into the top twenty.

Of course, we must not be arrogant, nor can we slack off.

Cramming at the last minute is absolutely necessary and must be arranged!

"There are still eight days until the competition officially begins. Jin Yuanbao, let's work harder and practice our Wing Slash and Thunder Ball skills to the basics first!"

The first round of the selection competition is scheduled for next Saturday, leaving them very little time to prepare.

"thunder."

Jin Yuanbao nodded seriously; it too was very interested in the Changheng Secret Land.

Time quietly ticked to 21 PM once again.

The pet space, which had been quietly slumbering in the sea of ​​consciousness, once again silently etherealized, expanding into a familiar building.

Mingxi came prepared this time, quickly putting on her cartoon backpack and entering the Time Realm with the gold ingot.

Welcome back, Master.

[Do you wish to include your training time for today?]

Guangguang was clearly not a polite AI; it went straight to the point after Mingxi entered.

Mingxi was very satisfied with its decisive and straightforward approach to things.

But she's not a straightforward person.

"Wait a minute, I have a few questions about the reward duration that I need you to answer."

It's best not to discuss this kind of thing during training.

It caused delays.

Is there anything you don't understand, Master?

Mingxi asked the questions one by one, and Guangguang's answers were almost exactly the same as her previous guesses.

The reward time does not need to be used up all at once. As long as the reward time has not been cleared, she can switch the pet space to the Time Realm at any time.

Moreover, apart from her and her pet beast, no other person or supernatural being can see the Time Realm.

Therefore, she doesn't need to worry about revealing the existence of the Time Realm.

Super Plus enjoy.

[Master, can I allocate training time now?]

Mingxi smiled and nodded: "Okay, go ahead and draw."

A giant spinning wheel appeared out of nowhere.

Jin Yuanbao barked twice, feigning modesty, indicating that it always had good luck and that tonight it should be allowed to draw the best one.

Having confirmed that the spinning wheel posed no danger, Mingxi naturally wouldn't refuse such a small request from her pet.

They gave up their seats.

Jin Yuanbao flew happily to the edge of the spinning wheel, raised its claws, and spun the wheel.

A human and a beast stared intently at the spinning wheel with wide, expectant eyes—the pointer faltered and stopped at the 6-hour mark.

Mingxi: "..."

Is this Jin Yuanbao's good luck?

She silently turned her head to look at the gold ingot, and a familiar light sign had appeared above its head.

Unaware of this, it blinked its beautiful, clear red eyes, gazing at her expectantly, "Lei Lei?"

How many did I get? Probably 36 hours, right?

Blind self-confidence is a bad thing.

Mingxi thought inappropriately, "It seems that Jin Yuanbao has no talent for learning cultural knowledge. He has studied for several hours last night and tonight, but he still doesn't recognize Arabic numerals."

He's probably a one-trick pony.

[Congratulations, Master! Your Thunderbird has been granted 6 hours of training time.]

Guangguang is still an AI with little discernment.
