Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Race of a Thousand People
"Next, I announce that this National Animal Breeding Competition has officially begun!!"
"Welcome to our players!!"
In the gymnasium, with the announcement of President Yu, the enthusiasm of the crowd came to a small climax.
The demon trainers in the waiting area also began to enter from the corridor in an orderly manner under the arrangement of the staff.
Qiao Yang was mixed in, following the crowd and moving forward quickly.
According to the arrangement, he was assigned to No. 891 Breeding Platform in the southwest corner of the gymnasium.
Because it was randomly assigned, Anxin was not by his side, and even Simon from the Thousand Machines City was very far away from him.
Looking around left and right, there were strange demon tamers all around, all with straight faces, and they couldn't see any expressions.
Qiao Yang took a deep breath, not because he was nervous, but because he felt a little excited, such a strong scene, and being able to breed beasts with demon tamers across the country, made him excited.
"I'll announce the rules next!"
The master took the microphone of President Yu and stood in the center of the stage of the gymnasium with flowers.
"The ...... of this knockout round"
Qiao Yang listened carefully to the rules of the game read out by the host, and they were generally the same as the previous Anxin introduction.
"This round of tests is - crusty silkworms! The cultivation time is 3 hours!"
"Ready~ Timer begins!"
As soon as the host's voice fell, an object next to the animal breeding platform that had been covered by a white cloth was neatly lifted by the machine, revealing its true face.
It was a palm-sized iron cage in which a fleshy brown worm was "rustling" at the leaves.
【Crusty silkworm】
[Attribute: Tenacity]
[Rank: Quasi-Servant Rank]
[Weak insects and monsters, the silk made of silk is extremely flexible, and is used in the production of various clothing]
[Level: 0]
[Note: Long-term consumption of golden apple leaves can obtain evolutionary potential]
......
A mediocre quasi-servant-level demon beast can be said to have no cultivation value, this is Qiao Yang's evaluation of it.
I opened the illustrated book and looked at it for a week, and several beast breeding tables next to me were also full of this kind of demon beasts, and the illustrated book was exactly the same, and there was no favoritism.
It seems that the monsters used by the association to participate in the competition have also been selected by thousands of people, striving for a relatively fair environment.
Retracting the target, Qiao Yang no longer paid attention to others and began to focus on his own demon beast cultivation.
There are also several wooden lockets on the beast breeding table, similar to the appearance of a small treasure chest, the side end is carved with animal skull ornaments, and the top is divided into categories with various attribute labels.
Qiao Yang used his spiritual power to probe them one by one, and found that these were all storage bags, which were all soldier-level materials, but the types were quite rich.
Unhurriedly, he took out a golden apple leaf from it and replaced the leaf gnawed by the crusty silkworm in the cage, and Qiao Yang began to pay attention to the changes in the illustrated book.
[Potential: 1]
[Required for Evolution: Metal Essence, Green Steel Vine, Hundred Refining Sand ......]
Qiao Yang frowned slightly, he found a problem, the competition is limited to 3 hours to cultivate, if this time only needs to make potions, for him, soldier-level potions are just at his fingertips.
However, this is not a potion making competition, it is a breeding animal, that is, the scleroderm must be successfully evolved within 3 hours.
Hey, was the level of the first game so high......
Qiao Yang sighed secretly in his heart, if he was eliminated in the first round and only got a round of the competition, how could he be embarrassed to go back and face Wen Lao, who was eagerly looking forward to him, he wanted to hide some strength, but the current situation made him have to go all out.
Qiao Yang rolled up his sleeves on his forearm, set up two medicine pots, lit a fire and heated it, this time he will boil two potions at the same time!
A demon tamer on the left noticed Qiao Yang's movements, his eyes widened, and he was stunned, two medicine pots, if you want to attract attention, you don't have to do this, right?
The reporters from various media who were quickly shuttling through the crowd also noticed the strangeness here, and quickly took the cameraman to Qiao Yang.
"May I ask the No. 891 contestant, do you have any explanation for setting up these two medicine pots?" the reporter's words were sharp, and she asked directly to the point.
The southwest screen of the octagonal projector at the top of the gymnasium also switched to this camera, giving Qiao Yang a big close-up.
Qiao Yang was concentrating on medicine at this time, and some beads of sweat slid down his cheeks from his eyebrows. To refine two potions at the same time, you need to observe the situation on both sides while paying attention to the addition of materials, and even the spiritual power is divided into two strands to control, which is more than twice as difficult as refining one potion.
It was impossible to be distracted by the interview, but just said perfunctorily: "It's faster." ”
The reporter obviously misunderstood what he meant, and praised: "Our No. 891 contestants really have an idea, and use two medicine pots to process the materials separately at the same time, and finally put them together to make potions, do we plan to win with speed?
The audience erupted in applause, for laymen, compared to a board and a glance, tacitly abiding by the rules of potion production, of course they would prefer to be unconventional and full of tricks to breed beasts.
But there are also many knowledgeable demon tamers, who shook their heads with disdain, obviously there are 3 hours to use, what is the use of refining potions so fast? This comparison is quality, not speed.
Referee's bench.
An old man in leather clothes said angrily: "It's just nonsense! How can the same potion be boiled separately in two medicine pots!"
Another cloth-robed old man also echoed, "What Vice President Chen said is that the production of medicine needs to be done in one go in order to make the best effect. ”
"Look at this outfit is still from our Demon Trainer Association, I'll have to find out which branch junior it is, it's so embarrassing. ”
Elder Yu also sat upright in the referee's seat, looking kind and kind, in his twilight years, but his temperament was still outstanding. Just from the slight demeanor between her eyebrows and eyes, you can see how gorgeous this old woman was when she was young.
President Yu stroked his hand and pressed the old man in leather clothes who was a little irritable, and persuaded him: "Vice President, don't worry, young people, they always like to be mavericks, and we, as elders, should be more tolerant." ”
Chen Lao snorted angrily, put his hands on his thighs, and stopped talking.
After appeasing the leather-clothed old man, President Yu turned his head to the cloth-robed old man and said, "That No. 27 should be your Potions Society disciple, such a pharmaceutical technique is not worse than some masters." ”
The old man in the cloth robe suddenly showed a smug look, and replied: "That's a closed disciple of an elder of the Society, his talent is really good, and he is participating in the competition for the first time this year." ”
