Beast Tamer: Super Lucky Starting Contract

"Brother Jiang, thank you so much this time." After finishing the work, Mo Xu called Jiang Jixing to thank him.

Without Jiang Jixing using his connections to help, things in the forum could not have been handled so smoothly.

Jiang Jixing said loudly: "Don't be polite. I just can't stand those whining villains. If someone else is slandered, I will help. And your temper towards me is definitely not the kind of person they say."

Mo Xu laughed and said, "Hahaha, thank you for your trust, Brother Jiang. I'll treat you to a meal when I'm free."

Jiang Jixing became interested and responded, "Okay, I'm free now, so let's not wait until another day, let's go eat some skewers."

"go!"

Mo Xu felt that Jiang Jixing had a very generous personality and was comfortable to get along with, and they could become close friends.

The two ordered supper in the cafeteria and started eating skewers. During the meal, Jiang Jixing despised the rumormongers, fired at the team behind the scenes, and told Mo Xu Zhao Xi's name.

I thought the matter had calmed down temporarily, but the next day, the rumormongers started making trouble again.

A video appeared on a short video platform, in which a victim appeared and accused Mo Xu of bullying behavior.

It can only be said that incidents related to school bullying can be regarded as a social pain point, especially for ordinary people who are not beastmasters, who can empathize with the "weak".

The video quickly went viral and was widely circulated. On many platforms, people tagged the official account of Gusheng University, asking it to investigate the matter thoroughly and deal with it seriously.

"It's actually her?" Amidst this noise, Mo Xu did see the video. It was Li Yue, the beastmaster of the three-eyed lion in Gao Bo's team.

"She's so bold? There were other people present at the time. How could she unite everyone in the team to give false testimony? And their professor doesn't care?"

I contacted Jiang Jixing through his connections and found out that the professor was still surveying mineral veins in other places.

It is also said that the old professor is well-known for protecting his students. He was furious when he heard about this and is now on his way back to help his students save face.

Afterwards, Mo Xu asked Jiang Jixing and Yu Jingyan to contact several students from Gao Bo's team. Two of them agreed to speak for Mo Xu, but they did not show their faces and only sent handwritten text statements.

After the response, there was still no reversal of public opinion.

Instead, Li Yue took advantage of the situation and posted another short video, accusing his teammates of being bribed and helping Mo Xu to give false testimony.

The matter was led by Li Yue, and Mo Xu was continuously criticized. Some people began to call on the school to cancel their reward for ranking first.

Even the school's fighting club came out to join in the fun, saying that they would temporarily revoke Mo Xu's status as a mid-level member of the fighting club.

Mo Xu was so angry that he laughed at the twisted story. He didn't expect that Li Yue's purpose was actually this. He used public opinion to ruin his reputation and then tried to prevent their team from getting the first prize. This was a bit absurd.

Everyone in Team 233 is a little panicked. They are discussing what to do in the group. Public opinion is overwhelming, and they think the reward will not really be cancelled.

Mo Xu comforted them in the group: "No, don't worry, the school leaders are reasonable."

But soon, his words were slapped in the face.

After noon, an hour before the commendation meeting, President Yu called personally and told Mo Xu that the backend of the school's social platform had been cluttered, and many teachers and professors had also come to inquire about it. The school would launch an investigation team to conduct an investigation, and the reward might be temporarily delayed.

Mo Xu was anxious: "Principal, you don't believe me? They really provoked me first. You can ask other people in their team, or ask Li Yue to confront me."

Principal Yu consoled him, "Son, we already have a basic grasp of the situation. It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that now the situation is so serious, it's hard to stop people from talking just by showing the witnesses. Don't worry, I promised that the reward will be given to your team later, but we will issue the investigation report after the storm has passed."

Mo Xu felt that this method of handling the matter was inappropriate. Delaying and suppressing the news was indeed a common practice. But for him personally, this approach made him feel guilty. Who knows if he would be accused of being protected by the school later?

There is never a shortage of market for conspiracy theories, and he felt very unhappy at the thought of being looked at with strange eyes during this period of time.

He thought of the Xuankong bird he saw when he left the venue, and asked, "Principal, did the military training place many teachers everywhere, so no one saw it?"

Principal Yu said regretfully, "No, the vision in the ghost zone is relatively poor. Besides, that is also a human witness, so it will always be criticized."

"But......"

She quickly comforted him, "Don't worry, classmate Mo Xu. The school will investigate as soon as possible. Since you said this was false, the investigation team will issue a statement later after asking questions. We will also control the public opinion online. In a few days, we will release the investigation report with the school's seal, and then we will give you a reward."

Mo Xu couldn't help but asked angrily, "It's ridiculous that a witness can't dispel a rumor. Do I have to install a camera on my forehead to prove my innocence?"

"That's what's going on online. Don't worry about it, kid. Don't go online these days. There are often training and fighting in the environment area. The cost of installing surveillance cameras is too high. After this incident, it seems that we have to install more."

"Wait..." Mo Xu thought of something and said, "Principal, if I can prove my innocence, can the afternoon reward be paid normally?"

Principal Yu was stunned: "What?"

After Mo Xu thought of a solution, his eyes were bright as he continued to ask, "Later, at the commendation meeting, can I take the initiative to go on stage to dispel the rumors? If I can prove my innocence, please ask the principal to give me and my teammates rewards as usual, and severely punish Li Yue."

"Principal, I hope the school can deal with this directly, so that public opinion will not become more severe, and thunderous measures will prevent others from following suit. My method is..."

Principal Yu pondered for a while and agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Mo Xu breathed a sigh of relief, but still felt somewhat aggrieved. What was going on?

"Is this Li Yue extremely stupid, or is there someone behind this?"

The decision to withhold the reward was made at a school committee meeting, and the news had long been spread by some insiders. Coupled with the countless reposts online, many passers-by actually believed that Mo Xu had blackmailed Li Yue's team during military training.

Even Zhong Xiaobing and Jin Dongjie couldn't help but chat with him privately to find out what really happened.

Mo Xu responded directly in the team group: "Don't worry, everyone. I have nothing to fear from my own shadow. I will deal with this matter this afternoon, and the reward will be paid in full."

Most of his relatives and friends still believe in Mo Xu's character.

Yang Junmin directly took sides: "Brother Mo, I believe you."

Ethan also expressed his support: "Boss, even if you are crooked, I won't say anything bad about you."

......

Not long after, it was time for the closing meeting of the military training.

When Mo Xu appeared on the school road, he was immediately fixated by many vague gazes.

His photo has been posted on the school forum for a long time. Anyone who has eaten melons will recognize this topic figure.

Many people were talking behind his back, and some even walked past Mo Xu on purpose with a look of contempt, as if that would make them look noble.

Mo Xu ignored all the monsters and got on the Xixi and rushed straight to the venue.

Seeing this signature monster, more people noticed Mo Xu and cast their eyes over him.

At the front door of the conference hall, an old man in a blue miner's suit seemed to be waiting for Mo Xu. When he saw Qilin land, he immediately came over with a sullen look on his face and snorted, saying, "Don't think you can be domineering just because you are strong. If you don't have good character, you will only go astray."

Mo Xu had asked about this person before, so he recognized him at a glance. This was Qian Yanjiu, the professor of Gao Bo's team.

The other party was rude, so he naturally responded coldly: "It's fine if Professor Qian wants to protect his students, but justice is in the hearts of the people. When the truth comes out, whether I am a good person will naturally be proven."

Qian Yanjiu just nodded with a straight face: "You are right, of course we have to investigate, so I will prevent you from getting the reward before the results come out."

"..."

Mo Xu was ready for a quarrel, but Old Man Qian didn't have that intention. It seemed that he just came to inform him and turned to go into the meeting room.

There were still some onlookers around, but Mo Xu walked into the venue with a normal expression.

He sat directly in the conspicuous first row, right behind the row of seats where the professors and the president sat, looking completely fearless.

People were coming and going, and anyone who came in through the front door and knew Mo Xu would look over here. Some curious people even immediately gathered in the first row to sit down and occupy the front line to eat the melons.

When Ethan arrived, he immediately advised, “Brother Mo, should we find a later seat? It’s so uncomfortable to be watched by so many people coming and going.”

Mo Xu sat upright, as steady as a rock: "It's right here, what are you afraid of? As long as you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door."

Ethan gritted his teeth, looking ready to die: "I'll accompany you!"

Mo Xu was amused by his appearance and said, "Don't act like you're dying a heroic death. I'll prove my innocence later, so it'll be more convenient for me to go on stage here."

When Ethan heard that Mo Xu could prove himself, he was immediately overjoyed.

Soon after, Jiang Jixing, Yang Junmin, and Yu Jingyan also came to accompany Mo Xu and sat in the first row. The other friends did not come because of social phobia or fear, and Mo Xu did not force them.

At exactly three o'clock in the afternoon, the venue was already packed with people, and even many seniors came to watch outside the back door.

After Principal Yu gave a speech titled “Reviewing the Trial and Looking Forward to the Future,” she did not step down from the stage, but signaled the vice-principal next to her to give her the rest of the speech.

The vice-principal was stunned for a moment, then realized that the principal would preside over the meeting personally.

Principal Yu took the manuscript and spread it out, looking around the huge venue, and continued: "Next is the second item of the closing ceremony, the commendation meeting, which will commend the teams that passed the trial and give out rewards..."

"The highlight is coming!" The students below immediately perked up.
