Why isn't what I command considered a beast?

The internal selection competition of Changheng Group has been held for five years. Because it is related to the quota of secret locations, it is quite well-known in the Jianghuai region.

Last year, a portion of the competition was broadcast on television.

This year's situation is even more unique.

Because the National High School Beast Taming League ended a month earlier than usual, and it also coincided with the 250th anniversary of Changheng Group, the rewards for the champion and runner-up were no less than those for those major competitions.

Therefore, many young beast tamers who had already made a name for themselves flocked to participate in this year's Changheng Cup.

For example, Lin Yingluo.

For example, Fu Sushu.

For example, Rui Qianwu and Shengshi Yan.

They all achieved outstanding results in this year's National High School Beast Taming League.

These nationwide beast-taming competitions are usually the most popular, as long as you perform well enough on the field, you can gain a large number of fans and attention.

Just like Fu Sushu, who is handsome and aloof, with an extraordinary family background and talent, he represented his school in the National High School Beast Taming League for two consecutive years and achieved outstanding results.

If this were Mingxi's previous life, he would definitely be the male lead of a campus literature powerhouse.

So even though he rarely posts on Momo, his account still has nearly five million followers.

Comparable to a third-tier celebrity in the entertainment industry.

In the era of beast taming, beast tamers who possess both strength and good looks are the most sought-after.

This directly led to the fact that this year's Changheng Cup was far more popular than any previous edition.

It was an unprecedented spectacle.

But no one expected it.

Lin Yingluo was eliminated before even making it into the group stage by a junior high school boy.

Fans thought this was surreal enough, but something even more unexpected happened.

Rui Qianwu, a top favorite to win the championship and possessing a dragon-type pet, was defeated in the group stage by a 14-year-old junior high school girl.

The opponent's pet was determined by the alliance to be unable to evolve into a high-level Thunder Demon Bird!

It's outrageous that his mother opened the door for him; it's outrageous to the extreme.

The trending topics exploded.

[I'm so curious, can all mid-level pets easily defeat high-level pets now? But my Black-tailed Fox can't! What should I do? Will I be left behind by this world? I'm really terrified!]

[Panic +1]

[Panic +2]

[Panic +10086]

[Upstairs, what era is "10086" a meme from?]

Everyone, calm down. It's a very low probability event for a mid-level pet to kill a high-level pet. Don't think just anyone can do it; anyone who can is superhuman!

[I can somewhat understand why the Crimson Tiger defeated Dudiepo, since fire-type is super effective against poison-type, and the Crimson Tiger also had the Flame Body ability. But I really can't understand why the Thunder Bird killed the Scyther.]

[Same as above. 】

My brother is a professional beast tamer. I just showed him the match between the Thunderbird and the Sissmoka Dragon. Do you know what he said?

[Don't keep me in suspense, or I'll stick a tube into your lungs.]

My brother said that the little beast tamer named Mingxi might be able to predict aerial movements. You all know about aerial movements, right?

[Haha, your brother's probably not a professional beast tamer, but a professional con artist, right? What's that "void prediction"? It's a super skill that only a very few genius professional beast tamers can master. How old is that Mingxi? 14! She's only awakened her powers less than a month ago! Saying she can do void prediction, why don't you just say your brother is Xie Zhaolang!]

Xie Zhaolang is a top-tier, superstar player among the new generation of young professional beast tamers in Longhua Kingdom.

Believe it or not, that's what my brother said!

[Your brother upstairs exploded.]

Tomorrow is the last day of the Changheng Cup, right? It's Sunday, and I've decided to go see it live. Anyone want to come? Let's go!

[I envy the person upstairs who lives in Hanning City. I'd like to go see it too, but the journey is too far.]

I live in the next city, so it's easy for me to get there. I've already bought my train ticket to Hanning City for tomorrow morning! I want to see for myself just how powerful that Thunderbird really is!

……

While the online selection competition within Changheng Group was generating unprecedented buzz, no one noticed that a blogger with fewer than 100 followers posted a new update.

[Today at work, I received a child who came for a contract ceremony. She had awakened a Rainbow Key, and the key was of very high quality, five stars! But for some reason, she chose to 'open a blind box' and got a fossil pet egg! Upon examination, this fossil egg was at least a thousand years old.]

Mingxi had no idea how much gossip she provided to the bored masses.

9 PM, hotel room.

Two days later, the Realm of Time finally descended once again.

Mingxi, carrying her schoolbag, holding a pet egg in her hand, and with a gold ingot perched on her shoulder, stepped into the wide-open gate in front of her.

Welcome back, Master.

[Congratulations on successfully contracting your second pet!]

The moment Mingxi heard Guangguang's voice, she couldn't wait to ask, "Guangguang, can you tell what kind of pet my Erwa is?"

Whether it was because Erwa was special or because the fossil egg was special, the instruments at the Beast Taming Center couldn't detect what kind of egg it was.

This has resulted in the pet section of her personal information page now changing to—

Pet Beasts: Thunder Demon Bird (Intermediate), Unknown (Fossil Pet Egg)

It looks both absurd and heartbreaking.

With current technology and the capabilities of superhuman beings, it shouldn't be undetectable.

[It's impossible to determine at this time. The owner can try using the equipment in room 1 to test it later.]

Can't you even see the light?

Fine.

First, determine the duration.

She has two chances to spin the wheel today.

So she spun the wheel twice.

She usually has good luck with the longest draws, and today, without the "Toilet God's" debuff, her performance returned to stability.

One session lasted 30 hours, and another lasted 36 hours.

Six sixes bring great fortune!

Mingxi then noticed that, in addition to the countdown sign above the gold ingot's head, there was also one on the pet egg.

However, it's pink, which is especially dreamy and girly.

But the gold ingot seems to be missing.

It seems that only she, as a beast tamer, can see the sign.

[Master, the Realm of Time absorbed a large amount of overflowing energy from the Thunder Pool two days ago. After the laws were fused and evolved, a small Thunder Pool has now appeared within the Realm of Time.]

Mingxi was taken aback.

Busy with the competition these past two days, she almost forgot that the reason the Time Realm was closed for a day was because it absorbed the energy of the Thunder Pool.

"You mean there are now Thunder Pools within the Time Realm?"

【Yes. 】

"Does that mean Jin Yuanbao and I can soak in the Thunder Pool every day from now on?"

【Yes. 】

very good, very powerful.

The valuable reward time was not wasted.

Indeed, you have to give up something to gain something.

"Jin Yuanbao, we have plenty of time for training today, so we need to change the training plan. Here's what we'll do: you go soak in the Thunder Pool for an hour first, and then..."

After briefly arranging Jin Yuanbao's training tasks for the next 66 hours, Mingxi did not send it to the Thunder Pool immediately. Instead, she took the pet egg and went into Room 1 together.

As is customary, let's do a test first.

She put the fossilized egg aside and picked up the report form with the gold ingot.

2000 years later...

Mingxi remained silent.
