Starting With Contract Pets
Chapter 66 - Registration for the Five Towns Spring Festival Competition
Panda Novel
“No, I don’t want to fish anymore. It hasn’t moved for half an hour.” Chen Rouxue flicked her wrist and groaned.
After catching that big Koi, she had not caught another fish. Instead, Su Bai had caught a fish every two minutes, and it was getting bigger and bigger. Big Demon Xiao Bai was now beside him, having abandoned its owner.
“Haha! You can rest for a while and take a look at the view.” He laughed.
“By the way, where did you go this morning? Did Purple Jade break through? It feels a lot stronger than before,” asked his friend.
“It broke through this morning on Phoenix Mountain. I had a fight with Zhang San and Li Si and ended up burying them,” he replied with a smile.
It was hard to tell the promotion of low-level pets from just their appearance alone.
“Wow, you buried them?” The girl was shocked.
“They started it…” He briefly narrated the incident to her. Although he did have those two buried, it would only take about half an hour for their pets to wake up. The two should have already escaped without any major issues by this time.
“I see. They really deserve it, but you’re so bad to make them lick a thorny rattan.”
“It’s not my fault; who told them to be so poor? They didn’t even have the money to buy their lives.”
…
“By the way, what are you going to do tomorrow?” asked Chen Rouxue, looking at the water and the hills.
“I’ll train Purple Jade, then exercise. I have to prepare for Monday’s test, too,” replied Su Bai after thinking for a while.
“Oh, let’s do it together tomorrow.” The girl played with a small flower in her hand. “Also, after the division, we should be tablemates. I don’t wanna sit with someone else.”
He glanced at her and nodded. “Okay, that’s good. I won’t have to be so awkward with other people as my roommate.”
Their class was small and they all sat in a single row without a tablemate. However, they would probably have tablemates after the division.
“That’s great! Which row do you want to sit in?” she asked with a smile.
“You can choose.”
“Then let’s take the third row; I feel like that’s the best position.”
Chen Rouxue thought for a while and decided.
After chatting for a while, the girl took her Big Demon to the back mountain for a stroll. She picked the peach and plum blossoms which were already in full bloom.
The surrounding scenery was picturesque, and the girl could not help but take a look as she strolled among the flowers and plants.
Half an hour later, she ran back with a bouquet of flowers in her hand and walked to the boy, grinning widely. “Look, isn’t this so beautiful? I’ll give you one.”
Giggling, she stuck a bunch of wild plum blossoms behind Su Bai’s ear. “Yes, they look good.
“Let me ask you something; recently, four nearby towns are holding a spring festival pet contest. Would you like to participate? The entry requirement is to become a rookie Pet Tamer within one year.”
“Is the reward money? How much is it?” Su Bai turned over curiously. He had never heard of that competition before.
“Of course, it does. Let’s sign up first; there’s a selection contest in early May. As long as you’re selected, they’ll award you with money.
“The reward for winning the competition isn’t just money, actually; there are treasures as well. The first placer can decide whatever treasures they want, provided that the price is within the acceptable range. There have been many good precious treasures in the national system nowadays.”
Chen Rouxue explained.
“I see, then I’m going to participate. It just so happens that my Purgatory Tyrant egg needs a few rare treasures which can’t be bought easily in the market.”
Su Bai’s eyes lit up at the mention of the rewards, and he felt that it was necessary to participate in the aforementioned contest.
In order to increase the incubation probability of his pet egg, he must obtain a precious treasure, the Glazed Fire Crystal. Alas, not only was it very expensive, it was also very difficult to find in the market.
However, the boy had learned that that kind of thing was actually very common and cheap in the national system as it was considered a sort of internal welfare.
“Okay, I’m participating, too.”
The girl nodded. “That contest is just the start. I heard that, every time this kind of contest is held, it means that our Cannes junior team will have a change. Only by winning that contest will we be allowed to play in the next-level contest and given the chance to enter the juvenile team.
“If we enter the juvenile team, we can have a fixed allowance every month, starting at 100,000 yuan at least. Even if we’re not professional Pet Tamers, we’ll still have the chance to enter the monster wilderness.
“Plus, the duty is just to play the city team game every year, so it’s very cost-effective.
“Although we don’t have a big chance of winning, we can still give it a try. Anyway, we can treat it as training for our pets.”
The city teams were divided into youth and juvenile. The age requirement for the youth team was twenty to twenty years old, while it was sixteen to twenty years old for the juvenile team.
The youth contest was held every five years, while the juvenile contest was held every four years.
Every time that there was a transition, a bloody storm would occur.
“Oh, so the juvenile team is changing members. We can indeed fight to obtain a spot. Even if we can’t join it, we can still gain a lot of experience.”
Su Bai suddenly realized what the water-fire Gemini twins meant when they said that they would meet again soon. They were referring to this city team game.
“If you want to participate, then sign up with me. It’s only 4:30 p.m. now; they haven’t knocked off work yet,” said Chen Rouxue.
“Okay.”
He kept his fishing gear and got up. Having failed to catch a big fish all afternoon, he only ended up feeding small fishes to Purple Jade and Big Demon.
When they reached the government registration site, five or six people were lining in the front row. It seemed that the competition was indeed very valued.
“Though the age requirement for entry to the Cannes juvenile team is sixteen to twenty years old, almost all the applicants are sixteen or seventeen years old. The higher-ups are more optimistic about the younger people and prefer to train them for several years. If they’re nineteen years old, it’s very difficult for them to enter unless they’re very strong.”
Chen Rouxue turned her head over and explained.
“I see. Those who are very strong probably won’t choose the Cannes juvenile team, either. After all, the allowance of fifth-tier cities is different from the others.”
Su Bai nodded.
Although Cannes was next door to the capital of Province X, a first-tier city, it was still a fifth-tier city. Fortunately, Cannes had many mountains abundant in monsters, so it was better off than other fifth-tier cities.
Every time, Cannes representative teams were just there for show in the contest and simply walked through the process.
Without achievements, the allowance was naturally smaller, but because of this, fewer people joined. It was a vicious cycle that kept them at the bottom.
Soon, it was his turn. The staff checked his ID’s information, then looked up in surprise. “Are you Su Bai, the champion of the Cannes Trainer Pet Tamer Survival Challenge?”
“Oh, yes. I am.” He nodded.
“Then you’re allowed to skip the initial test and just take part in the final round of assessment. You’ll be notified of the time via text message,” said the staff.
“Oh, that’s good. Thank you.” He did not expect a champion to have this kind of treatment.
“It seems that our championship can pull a bit of weight. We can even skip the previous assessment. Yang Zhou, Jiang Yang, and the others also said that they want to join the team. It appears that they’ll have to pass the first few assessments first.”
Chen Rouxue sighed as they left the building.
“I didn’t expect it, either.” Su Bai laughed. He did not expect that being champions would have such a far-reaching effect. Getting on his electric scooter, he waved at his friend. “I’ll go off first; see you tomorrow.”
“Okay, bye. See you at the training ground.”
