Chapter 1246: Auxiliary Operations Team

Mingxi was speechless.

Each of her family’s Beast Tamers was truly a supermodel.

Chu Kuangsheng suddenly sighed, “The regional competition is fine; you and I belong to different regions. But if I meet you in the national competition, I’m probably destined to be eliminated.”

Because the Starsea Cup rules stipulated that all contestants could only return to their respective regions to compete based on their native place, Mingxi was to participate in the Jianghuai regional competition, while Chu Kuangsheng would participate in the Central regional competition.

Both the regional and national competitions were single-elimination; once eliminated, there was no hope of revival.

Although to ensure the quality of the contestants, the regional and national competitions generally would not pit seeded players against other seeded players.

However, this year’s Starsea Cup was a very special situation.

Firstly, there was the news Mingxi received—the Descent' Holy Master was very likely to appear in the Starsea Cup competition.

Secondly, this year marked the 100th anniversary of the Starsea Cup’s founding.

The significance was different.

Therefore, the number of participants and the quality of contestants were incomparable to previous years.

According to what he knew, many of the big shots who used to live in seclusion in the ‘deep mountains’ had also come out.

In other words, his strength as an S-Class Beast Master might not even rank among the last of the seeded players, which meant there was a high possibility of being matched with Mingxi.

Mingxi also felt that his worries were not unfounded, and she thought for a moment.

“Instructor, this is for you.”

She took out the Star Wish sticky notes, of course not giving all of them, but tearing off four sheets.

Although this item was somewhat like a chicken rib, it might just be the key to resolving a crisis.

So she also needed to keep a few for herself.

“What?”

Chu Kuangsheng curiously took the sticky notes.

Mingxi briefly explained, “...Wishing not to meet me in the national competition should be successful. Use them sparingly, I don’t have many left.”

“Good, then I won’t be polite with you.”

Chu Kuangsheng was already accustomed to Mingxi taking out all sorts of good things he had never seen before. After accepting them very calmly, he said, “There’s one more thing I need to tell you, it’s about the personal auxiliary operation team during the competition that I mentioned to you before.”

For large-scale events like the Starsea Cup, participants generally form auxiliary operation teams. The main tasks of the team include but are not limited to:

Responsible for the contestant’s daily communication, image packaging, and schedule tracking;

Real-time collection and analysis of opponent’s data, review of matches, and formulation of corresponding combat strategies;

Negotiation and contract management with commercial partners such as brands and sponsors;

Coordinating the contestant’s participation in commercial endorsements, event promotions, and managing income and taxes, etc.

A complete professional Beast Tamer competition operation team mainly consists of a manager, skill coach, tactical coach, assistant coach, sparring partner, image consultant, breeder and chef, pharmacist, Item Crafter, lawyer, and promotion team.

Although Mingxi was not a professional player, if she wanted to smoothly and safely reach the finals, forming a professional operation team was very necessary.

However, Mingxi herself had no relevant experience.

As her coach, Chu Kuangsheng directly took on all the responsibilities.

“Is it assembled?”

Chu Kuangsheng nodded and sent a list to Mingxi’s personal terminal.

“Manager? Shen Linhua?”

Mingxi was stunned, “Brother Linhua is going to be my manager?”

Although Shen Linhua’s curse poison had not yet been fully resolved, it had been sealed in his chest thanks to the potion provided by Emerald Green, so his movements were not an issue.

“You know him, he’s been sick for so long, he’s already bored to death.”

“My competition intensity will be very high. As my manager, he will probably be more tired than me. Can his body handle it?” Mingxi wasn’t looking down on Shen Linhua, but rather worried about him getting tired.

“He’s doing very well now. If he wasn’t worried about the curse poison erupting during the competition, he would have signed up to compete himself.”

Hearing this, Mingxi said no more, “Then I’ll leave my team to him.”

She then looked at the situation of the others.

Wow.

Besides Shen Linhua, there were several other familiar faces.

Breeder Yuan Hongye, with Shao Dingding accompanying her.

Chef Old Wang, the team chef during the Blue Sun Cup, who was once one of the Elder Council’s exclusive chefs.

Sparring partners Yuan Hu and Jiuhuang.

Assistants Fu Yifan? Lu Yun Shen?

꒰ ⑅ ° ͈ ꒳ ° ͈ ꒱???

And an even more outrageous one... skill coach Yue Zhong.

He was Mingxi’s teacher in skill research when she was at Green Field Fairytale University.

“Teacher Yue? What’s going on?”

Wasn’t Teacher Yue on Green Field Star? How could he come to be her skill coach?

“Did you forget what you left with Grandpa Shen?”

At Chu Kuangsheng’s reminder, Mingxi understood.

“He helped Principal Shen send Ginger over?”

Previously, thinking the situation was urgent, she left Green Field Star directly without returning to school, so she couldn’t pick up Ginger who was fostered with Shen Najia.

She hadn’t expected him to have Yue Zhong send Ginger back.

“Don’t worry, he himself is a Dragonflower Country native, his identity is completely fine.”

“I know, Teacher Yue is very capable. I welcome him as my skill coach.” Mingxi’s impression of Yue Zhong wasn’t bad. “Then, shall we arrange a time for me to meet everyone?”

“Tonight?”

“Okay.”

That evening, Mingxi met with her personal team and at the same time received Ginger Jelly Algae Worms, who had been separated from its master for several months and was so miserable it had become reclusive.

“Ginger!”

Ginger Jelly Algae Worms, visibly fatter and pampered into a ball by good food and drink, cried like a forsaken househusband the moment it saw Mingxi.

Flapping its wings, it flew in front of Mingxi.

Wailing uncontrollably.

Snot and tears splattered all over Mingxi’s face.

Mingxi: “...”

I dare not open my eyes, I’m afraid it’s my illusion.

I don’t understand, and I don’t dare to comfort it.

Mingxi wiped the spittle and salty tears from her face: “Black Pearl, please comfort Ginger Jelly Algae Worms well, it... *cough*...”

Looking at Ginger Jelly Algae Worms, whose small arms and legs had thickened by an inch, she really couldn’t bring herself to say it had suffered.

“It must miss you very much.”

Black Pearl’s figure appeared, and Ginger Jelly Algae Worms excitedly wailed, immediately sticking to its face, like a huge golden mole!

Mingxi covered her eyes again.

Afterwards, Mingxi and her team got to know each other, and then she solemnly entrusted them with all matters outside of the competition during the Starsea Cup.

In fact, they were already busy.

Mainly, after the news of Mingxi participating in the Starsea Cup spread, there were many, many, many businesses looking for her to endorse them...

The Fu Family, who were related to her, and ‘Ling Ye’, her only endorsement, all received various calls.

Some with extensive connections even managed to contact her Grandma and her old father.

So she really needed a [N O V E L I G H T] team to help her handle these matters.

“Mingxi, you’ve directly qualified for the national competition.”

Mingxi had just finished meeting her team and publicly announced the team’s related information and contact methods.

That night, Shen Linhua brought her good news.

She didn’t need to participate in the regional competition. Along with the only SSS-level Beast Master from the Jianghuai region who had signed up, she would directly qualify for the national competition as a seeded player from the Jianghuai region.
