Chapter 1681 - 61: Talent Showdown (Double - )

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the scene of the Contract Compatibility Competition..." The host’s voice echoed in the stadium.

Qiao Sang and Little Ting Dragon stood on the field, waiting with other contestants for the competition to begin.

A young man in a white short sleeve shirt, looking fresh-faced, glanced at Qiao Sang and Little Ting Dragon several times, finally asking:

"Are you a D-rank Beast Tamer?"

Qiao Sang looked around, confirmed that the question was directed at her, and replied: "No."

He thought to himself that someone so young couldn’t possibly be a D-rank Beast Tamer; the internet is full of nonsense... After some internal grumbling, he continued:

"Are you from Blue Star?"

Qiao Sang responded with a "Hmm."

The young man glanced at Little Ting Dragon and, lowering his voice, said: "Then you must not have contracted with Pet Beasts from our Flame Sky Star. If you had, you’d know our Pet Beasts are much more disciplined in training than those from Blue Star; they don’t need a Beast Tamer overseeing them."

Qiao Sang turned, giving him a look that said "What exactly are you trying to say?"

The young man understood and got straight to the point: "You could introduce Little Ting Dragon to me, and I could introduce you to our Pet Beasts."

With that, he signaled with his eyes to a Pet Beast about 90 centimeters tall in front of him, predominantly a ghostly green, looking like a vase, and said:

"This Ghost Flower Pot I brought along is quite good. It will grow into an Emperor-level Pet Beast, Ghost Plant Emperor, with the rare dual attributes of Grass Type and Spectral Series."

"Ghost Flower."

The Ghost Flower Pot, upon hearing the conversation, wasn’t offended and instead nodded at Qiao Sang with a friendly smile.

Instinctively, Qiao Sang glanced at Little Ting Dragon, who was continuously slapping its tail against the ground, seriously warming up for the competition, appearing oblivious to the conversation, and she felt inexplicably relieved, lowering her voice to ask:

"Aren’t you planning to contract with the Ghost Flower Pot?"

The young man explained with a smile:

"We are currently in an open relationship. If a more suitable Beast Tamer or Pet Beast comes along, we don’t mind switching."

"Ghost Flower." The Ghost Flower Pot nodded.

Such a relationship actually exists, meaning they consider each other backups... Qiao Sang felt like she had learned something new and asked:

"So, why are you participating in this competition?"

"To see if there’s a Pet Beast more suitable for us. The Ghost Flower Pot is also here to see if there’s a more suitable Beast Tamer." The young man explained: "After all, Beast Tamers and wild Pet Beasts coming here are prepared to contract. If there’s no one more suitable, the Ghost Flower Pot and I will contract."

"Ghost Flower."

The Ghost Flower Pot nodded, indicating that’s correct.

Qiao Sang processed this, amusingly asking:

"Do you have your eyes on Little Ting Dragon?"

Upon hearing this, the young man’s eyes lit up. Thinking there might be a chance for exchange, he quickly said: "The Ghost Flower Pot is also interested in you. If you feel it’s suitable, you could mention it to Little Ting Dragon."

Dragon-type Pet Beasts are generally arrogant, and although it’s said online that Blue Star’s Pet Beasts mostly listen to their Beast Tamers, he still wasn’t courageous enough to bring this up directly with a Dragon-type Pet Beast.

He’s not Little Ting Dragon’s Beast Tamer, so who knows if it would react positively.

Curiously, Qiao Sang asked:

"Why is the Ghost Flower Pot interested in me?"

She recalled that during the preliminaries, she hadn’t even issued a single command, and any camera time was likely due to Little Ting Dragon’s performance. She didn’t think she’d be remembered by a wild Pet Beast.

"Ghost Flower."

The Ghost Flower Pot made a sound.

"Because you’re from Blue Star," the young man said: "The Ghost Flower Pot wants to see Blue Star, and to go to Blue Star, the simplest method is to contract with someone from Blue Star."

Qiao Sang suddenly understood.

It was treating her as a middleman for moving to Blue Star.

"What do you think?" the young man asked.

Qiao Sang smiled: "You could ask Little Ting Dragon directly; I respect its opinion more."

The young man was taken aback, but gathering his courage, he looked at Little Ting Dragon and, raising his voice, asked:

"Little Ting Dragon, would you like to change your contract partner?"

"Ting Ting..."

Little Ting Dragon finally stopped warming up, looked at the young man with a blank expression, and electric arcs began to surface on its body.

The young man: "!!!"

With an awkward expression, the young man said: "Just kidding."

The electric arcs on Little Ting Dragon disappeared, and it resumed wagging its tail on the ground.

"Ghost Flower."

The Ghost Flower Pot gave the young man a disappointed look and then pulled out a business card from the pot at its lower body, handing it to Qiao Sang.

Little Ting Dragon stopped training and looked over.
