Beast Taming Patrol

Chapter 105: Chapter 44 Arrogant Speech (Seeking Investment and Follow-up Reading)_2

Even in the live stream’s comments, there were numerous offers with hefty amounts of money looking to purchase Mush-Babies!

This was the influence of the breeders’ competition, announcing a highly potential evolutionary path could instantaneously skyrocket the value of a species’ pet, making them highly sought after!

“I think this time, Mountain City University might take the championship again.”

“Yes, even the research projects that ranked first in the breeders’ competition in previous years can’t compare to this one. It’s like a dimensional strike. I see the other universities having a tough time now!”

“I don’t even want to watch the achievements of the other universities anymore. I just want to get my hands on a few Mush-Babies quickly.”

“Hahaha, who doesn’t?”

“…”

Surges of surprise and discussion arose in the venue, and the judges’ panel, specifically responsible for scoring the evolutionary achievements, after a bit of whispering among themselves, quickly gave the score for Mountain City University’s breeding results.

98.2 points.

Lin Su couldn’t help but frown.

This score…

The competition judges consisted of ten highly respected research scholars.

They would score each research achievement out of a hundred points, discard the highest and lowest scores, and take the average. Normally, the first research project to be presented would be scored somewhat conservatively to leave room for potentially better projects later on.

Even with the score deliberately lowered, it still reached 98.2 points?

It was outrageous. If he wasn’t mistaken, didn’t the winners of the breeding competition in previous years score only around ninety-five?

“No worries,” seeing Lin Su’s tension, Qin Nan patted his shoulder with a calm expression, “That nasty woman’s research results are indeed astonishing, and it’s normal for her to get this score. However, your research project will definitely score higher than hers. As long as she doesn’t score a hundred, you can surpass her.”

“Yes!” Lin Su nodded vigorously.

As the scores were announced, Shi Yuhua didn’t linger. She, along with Zhang Xuyang, collected their presentation materials and headed towards their seats.

Zhang Xuyang’s face was filled with a radiant smile, as this participation in the research project was indeed the right choice.

He had not only made a public appearance in front of the entire alliance but also gained a low-ranking monarch species pet!

In Mountain City University, among the freshmen, aside from those few prodigies, hardly anyone could own a monarch species pet at this time!

No doubt, his ranking within the grade was bound to surge!

After Mountain City University’s presentation, Tianchen University came up next.

Tianchen University brought a new evolutionary type of Fire Cloud Dog called Ashen Wolf, which spanned three minor ranks, elevating the Fire Cloud Dog from a high-elite species to a high-commander species.

Jumping the same three minor ranks but only scoring 92.8 in this research project.

There was no helping it. Even though Tianchen University presented later, the score wouldn’t have been this low, but since it was right after Mountain City University, there was a stark contrast; unfortunately, this affected their score.

Upon learning their score, the presenters from Tianchen University had somewhat strained smiles. They said a few brief words and quickly left the stage.

After Tianchen University completed their presentation, Mountain City University’s presentation was about to begin.

…

“Sigh, why isn’t there an evolutionary type for Xue Henqing?” a black-haired girl with a streak of dyed white hair sighed while lounging on the sofa, glancing at Xue Henqing lazily lying beside her.

The universities ranked first and second had already finished their presentations, and their results had nothing to do with Xue Henqing’s evolutionary type.

This greatly diminished the girl’s expectations.

However… the research result from Mountain City University did catch her interest.

Her Beast Taming Space was almost at the fourth rank, yet she still hadn’t contracted her second pet, precisely because she had high standards and wanted a unique pet.

A rare fighting species, combined with the rare skill of Super-speed Regeneration…

“Hey, Snowball, what if I contract a Mush-Baby as my second pet?”

“Meow! (≖ω≖)” (Mush-Babies are so ugly!)

“True,” the girl nodded in agreement, “Mush-Babies are quite cute, but this evolutionary type is so ugly. Later, in the Cooperative Body with the new pet…”

Imagining herself sporting a mushroom head and turning into a muscular woman, the girl vigorously shook her head, “Forget it, let’s keep looking.”

Although strength is essential, appearance matters even more!

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have chosen Xue Henqing as her first pet.

“After Tianchen University, it should be our Mountain City University’s turn,” the girl said, opening a pack of chips and stuffing them into her mouth, “Let’s see which big shot from our school will be up on stage this time…”

“Eh? He looks so young? He seems even younger than me,” the girl blinked as she watched the holographic projection live broadcast, murmuring softly, “But he’s pretty handsome.”

…

“Tianchen, this Ashen Wolf is quite good,” having just watched his old friend’s presentation in the live stream, Zhong Tianzhan turned to Zhao Tianchen, “According to Old Zhao’s words, this evolutionary type has even outlined the secondary evolutionary type, which could directly reach the monarch species.”

“Yes,” Zhao Tianchen nodded, though his face didn’t show much excitement.

On one hand, he already knew about this research result, so the surprise was gone.

On the other hand, it was because of the research result just presented by Mountain City University.

The Mush-Baby had evolved into Mush-Mush…

Zhao Tianchen’s face showed a strong struggle.

He had originally planned to use the Illusion Thought Butterfly as his second pet beast, developing it in the direction of Phoenix Pattern Holy Butterfly to craft his own fire attribute beast team.

But the new evolutionary form of Gubao Bao also greatly piqued his interest.

This made Zhao Tianchen, who had initially decided to apply to Mountain City University, start to hesitate about whether to choose Jinghua University instead.

Forget it, no need to dwell on it.

Zhao Tianchen shook his head.

After Zhongtian University, it would be Mountain City University. Unless something unexpected happens, they were probably going to showcase the Phoenix Pattern Holy Butterfly, and he could use this opportunity to learn more about it. Then making a choice later wouldn’t be too late.

Huh?

Wait a minute!

Zhao Tianchen suddenly widened his eyes.

The guy representing Mountain City University who stepped onto the stage…

“Hmm?” Zhong Hao exclaimed in surprise as he saw the figure appear in the livestream and rubbed his eyes involuntarily.

Am I seeing things?

Zhong Tianzhan, who was originally all smiles, suddenly drew in a breath of cold air.

He accidentally plucked out his beard again.

But that’s not important.

Who can tell him why Lin Su was appearing in the Breeding Results Competition?!

…

Inside the seating area for Jinghua University.

As the host announced that Mountain City University would showcase its breeding results next, Shi Yuhua, who had been sitting back and meditating, slowly opened her eyes.

Beside her, Zhang Xuyang curiously peered over towards Mountain City University’s seating area.

Even though he had given up on persuading Lin Su to choose Jinghua University, Zhang Xuyang, because of him, paid more attention to Mountain City University.

He wondered what Mountain City University’s presentation would be this time.

He thought quietly, then his eyes suddenly widened.

“What the hell?!”

He couldn’t help but exclaim softly, staring at Lin Su, who stepped onto the stage, his face filled with strong astonishment and disbelief.

What’s going on?

Shi Yuhua’s eyes carried a hint of suspicion as she looked at the unfamiliar young man on the stage and turned to look at Qin Nan.

Qin Nan was looking this way, and when their gazes met, he cheekily made a face at her.

Childish.

Shi Yuhua withdrew her gaze and looked towards Zhang Xuyang.

She had noticed the oddity in Zhang Xuyang moments ago.

“Do you know the person Mountain City University is presenting?”

Zhang Xuyang nodded, “Ms. Shi, it’s like this…”

He briefly explained how he came to know Lin Su.

As Zhang Xuyang recounted the story, Shi Yuhua’s brows slowly furrowed.

A senior high school graduate?

Not even a student of Mountain City University?

What exactly was Qin Nan playing at?

She couldn’t understand.

…

Stepping onto the podium, Lin Su looked at the numerous gazes from below and couldn’t help but feel a tingling in his scalp.

There sure were a lot of big shots below…

His gaze subconsciously shifted towards Qin Nan, and he suddenly remembered the words Qin Nan had said to him before he stepped onto the stage.

“Little Lin, sister has only one request, go up there and be arrogant, surprise everyone!”

Arrogant, huh…

Got it.

Lin Su made up his mind, cleared his throat, and then spoke out loud.

“Ladies and gentlemen, next I will represent Mountain City University to showcase a breeding research achievement that is capable of creating at least dozens of new evolutionary paths in the future!”
