7. Glamour Contest

Ten minutes later, the entire 20-minute Glamour Contest ad ended.

The picture freezes, and the top ten contestants who won the preliminary round of the previous year's charm contest are grinning at the camera, four women and two men, with a wide range of ages, from middle-aged beautiful uncles to high school teenagers and girls. Each person held a metal sign in their hands, and the excitement and pride on their faces almost overflowed the screen.

What made people feel impressive was the phantom beasts they carried, four jade butterflies, three spark foxes, and three silk angelfish.

This, this repetition rate is too high!

You can see the graceful dancing jade butterfly in the film, the scattered sparks with the big fluffy tail flicking one by one, and the handsome and eye-catching star fox. Shen Xingchen took it for granted again, there was no way, who called other phantom beasts to be good-looking?

She still remembers accidentally stumbling into a website on the Internet that specializes in inventing all kinds of rankings, and launching online voting from time to time, so that everyone can vote for the phantom beast that they think best fits the list. The theme of one of the rankings was "The Initial Phantom Beast That Makes Your Heart Pound", and the three Phantom Beasts: Jade Jade Butterfly, Star Fire Fox, and Silk Angelfish all occupied the top three positions with cliff-like votes, and there was a difference of 2 million votes from the fourth place.

Thinking about it, Shen Xingchen was angry, Phantom Jelly didn't even make it to the top 100?! This group of people is really blind!

After the commercial video ended, she also roughly saw some eyebrows of the competition. The charm competition is a bit similar to the idol talent show in the previous life, through each contestant on the stage to cooperate with the phantom beast to show the most shocking performance, through the judges' scoring and public voting to determine the winner. The purpose is also very easy to guess, to discover the stars of the entertainment industry in the future.

She swiped the reward information released by the official account in the comment area. In addition to the blessings of 50 goddesses, the organizers have also prepared 10 junior phantom beast artist contracts for the top 10, and the prizes for the top three are even richer. Bronze Medal Award: 5000 Gold XXX Group's Shopping Voucher, Silver Medal: Mana Fossil, Gold Medal: Champion Jewelry.

The organizers are thoughtful.

In this way, whether it is a vegan beast master who covets prizes, or those teenagers and girls who really dream of stardom, they will definitely not miss this charm competition with great exposure and strong incentives.

"Phantom~Phantom~"

The music has long stopped, but the phantom jelly is obviously still unsatisfied, and the small body learns from the first Santa's phantom beast silk angelfish in the film, waving silk long fins and spinning and dancing, although there is no gorgeous tail fin, but the small hands swing softly, and one move is quite standard.

After the dance, he bent down to take a curtain call,

Shen Xingchen clapped his hands wildly, cheering continuously, "Really talented!" ”

Phantom Jelly was shy and powdered all over, and the soft little short finger pointed at Santa, who was wearing a big cake on the screen, and then pointed at Shen Xingchen.

"Phantom!"

Shen Xingchen: "......? ”

She had a bad premonition, and the hand suddenly couldn't be clapped.

No, it's not what she thinks, is it?

Shen Xingchen: "You said you want to participate in the competition?" With me? ”

"Phantom."

Phantom Jelly nodded, affirming Shen Xingchen's guess,

"No, no, no.......I definitely don't ....."

Her brows gradually wrinkled into sour dried plums, for a typical homeroom girl who has always been accustomed to minimalist style dressing, resolutely does not wear makeup on major occasions with more than 50 people, and is used to cowering in the bed on her days off, Shen Xingchen subconsciously wanted to blurt out the words of refusal.

Just imagine, exaggerated lace skirts, heavy makeup, colorful pastel, heavy gold and silver hand ornaments jingling, shining and playful performances on the stage, don't you live like an opera? She shuddered violently after automatically replacing her face.

She was about to blurt out a refusal.

It's strange that she feels such intense pleasure and anticipation on the jelly-shaped, featureless face of the Phantom Jelly, which is an attachment that she has never felt in the past with him. Even if reason screamed for her to leak, she made her open her mouth to say something against her will.

"Well..... can be yes,"

"Phantom!" , Little Jelly flicked twice excitedly, took out his favorite pink rice bowl from his mouth, pushed it in the direction of Shen Xingchen, and then tightly circled her wrist with two small hands

"But .....," she said, with a serious face.

"The training before the charm competition is no easier than the battle of the beasts....no matter how hard and tired you are, you have to persevere."

"You can't heat it up for another three minutes."

"Phantom!"

"You can cry, you can complain, but you can't stop."

"Illusion!"

"Ahem! But I'll be with you the whole time. Shen Xingchen finally looked away slightly, but his tone was unconsciously softened.

"Phantom!"

Phantom Jelly just asked and answered with her, grabbing her master's wrist all the time, and listening to her quietly.

"Besides, you still have to accompany me to the distribution of the school team alliance, and you can also try the beast battle yourself, so that you can understand whether you like it or not." , Shen Xingchen finally added, still a little worried about whether he would be petty.

But this time, Phantom Jelly didn't hide back in the mug to lose her temper, but nodded, learned the animation she watched a few days ago, and stretched out a short hand to hook her.

"Poof!" , Looking at the Phantom Jelly's small expression, she was unconsciously amused, and the slightly serious atmosphere was self-defeating.

"Good! We pull the hook. ”

……

"Click!"

Just as one person and one phantom beast came to the computer to fill out the registration form, the sound of the door lock turning came from the entrance.

"Hey, old Shen, be careful!"

Luo Fang's worry came from the door, mixed with the sound of countless heavy objects crashing.

Listen to this battle....no doubt it's Mom and Dad.

"Convex Hill .....", "Convex Flame .....", Confused Ball Mouse and Confused Flame Mouse are also on the side. One rat was holding the bags of the two, and the other rat and Luo Fang were supporting Shen's father, who was limping

"Izumi." The fountain tortoise was the last to enter the door, thoughtfully dropping the safety lock and then opening its mouth ....

"Bang!" A steaming balloon of water spat out of the turtle's mouth and smashed ungently onto the wooden floor.

In a few seconds, the steam dissipated, and the water balloon collapsed layer by layer like an orange from top to bottom, but before the sphere completely disintegrated, a big cat with a whining and low roar, hunched back, leaped neatly, and landed on the top of Shen's father's teak bookcase, with a look of contempt for all beings, looking condescendingly at the Shen couple.

And the position where Shen Xingchen and Phantom Jelly stayed happened to be in the blind spot of the big black cat, and the big black cat was in a state of war for a while, and he had no time to pay attention to the wind and grass behind him, which made Shen Xingchen cheaper, taking advantage of the stalemate between his parents and the phantom beast, he saw the appearance of the big black cat clearly through the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room.

The size is not ordinarily large, it is 1 times larger than the giant Maine of the cats in the previous life, almost comparable to a five-year-old child. The whole body coat color is pure to the extreme black, pointed face, short black fluff, golden cat pupils from time to time floating a layer of shallow red light, like the eyes flowing with a red-hot liquid gold nuggets, noble, dangerous, and mysterious.

The big black cat stopped hunching at this time, stretched and retracted its paws, and grinded its claws on the bookcase carelessly.

This move directly ignited Lao Shen's lead, although the wood material of the teak bookcase under the feet of the big black cat is not very precious, but it is of great significance! It was the loot that he had obtained after three hundred rounds of the first battle with a C-rank Phantom Beast that he had entered the C-rank Phantom Beast Forest six years ago!

Boy! The bloody memories of Lao Tzu's youth are used by you to grind your feet!

"Okay! You're good! It's not enough to make Lao Tzu lame, but also Huo Lao Tzu's bookcase! ”

Seeing Shen's father's innocent face, the big black cat looked at him with brilliant and dazzling golden eyes, tilted his head to the left at a 30-degree angle, and paused....

"Humph! If you know it's wrong, you dare to roll down! Is it so kind to take you in? ”

"Click, click, click...."

The big black cat's paws moved again, this time grinding out of the afterimage

Shen's father: "......." felt that his bottom line was repeatedly challenged.

Who can bear this?

He roared and stood up suddenly, blurting out: "Fountain tortoise, use the high-pressure water gun yo yo..."

It's a pity that his high arrogance can't last more than three seconds, and he wails while holding his legs, and sits back on the sofa heroically.

The eyes were splitting, and the nostrils were breathing, and the fountain tortoises on the side, which also snorted sulfur vapor with their nostrils, gradually synchronized.

Shen Xingchen: "......." you two are worthy of being partners.

During this period of time, she has already fully understood that although the original owner's father's temperament occasionally jumps out and is out of tune, in fact, his heart is softer than anyone else.

She was speechless for a moment and then chose to cut to the point: "........ Dad, where did this cat come from?" ”

Father Shen was still staring at the big black cat, as if whoever took the lead would surrender by default, "This cat..."

No one noticed that as soon as the girl's words fell, the tips of the big black cat's ears trembled imperceptibly.

He only now found out that there were other humans in the house besides these two nasty beast masters.

And ..... the breath of this human being, he does not reject it.

The big black cat opened its mouth wide and yawned, bowing its head and licking its paws.

But so what?

Humans are just a bunch of sanctimonious guys, and those contract phantom beasts of the beast master, how stupid, and like to move themselves, sad and pitiful.

He squinted the cat's pupils slightly, and sharply turned his gaze in the direction of the girl.
