Fortune This Time

“I suppose this counts as completing the chairman’s task then.”
Listening to the discussion amongst the spectators, Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction.
Having taken out Zhang Kai, the strongest competitor in Lingxi City, this time securing the top spot in the joint examinations should be guaranteed, as should be the endorsement fees.
Alas, now I can happily shop again.
Humming a little tune, Bai Qi returned to the contestants’ stand. Before he could open his mouth, Gao Cheng and Lu Yuan arrived, eyes full of resentment. “You said that Alpha’s modification was a special case. How do you explain that Arctic Ice Wolf of yours?!”
Eyeing Gao Cheng’s murderous gaze, Bai Qi gave an awkward smile, “Accident, it was an accident.”
Regardless of how perfectly the robotic and biological parts of Husky seem to mesh, it took Bai Qi bit by bit merging it with the Evolution Egg. Let alone helping out with this kind of favor again, he wasn’t willing to make another one for himself.
Too time-consuming, and most importantly, too expensive.
Not to mention, Schuck, aiming for practicality in movement and communication, spent a whole day with Bai Qi building an additional mechanical head on the half-body mech armor, thus giving rise to the two-headed Husky figure.
However, according to Schuck, this mechanical head was just a temporary arrangement, with a series of modifications planned for the future.
After looking over the restructuring plan that Schuck had presented to him, Bai Qi decided never to discuss any related issues with Schuck again.
Discussing these things with an Al with consciousness was like stabbing himself in the foot.
“If the mechanical head was an accident, then the runes you used in your battle with Cheng aren’t accidental, right?”
Lu Yuan examined Bai Qi from head to toe, seemingly trying to figure out what other strange things Bai Qi might be hiding in his head.
“Hmm, let me do some further research into that.”
Not denying it this time, Bai Qi felt his phone vibrate and promptly retreated from Lu Yuan and the others to the resting area.
“Zhuge Chen?”
Bai Qi had a hunch.
“What is it?”
Spare me the nonsense, why would I find you if it wasn’t for anything?” Oh lord, businessmen are all so ruthless. They don’t care about years of friendship.
“I saw your recent match. My dad asked me to find you immediately to renegotiate the contract. I have sent you the electronic version. What do you think?”
Renegotiate the contract? Was my performance just now a bit too much?
Bai Qi opened the new contract sent by Zhuge Chen, carefully reviewing it before he could finally relax.
There wasn’t much change in the miscellaneous content of the contract, just the naming of the endorsed creatures and the sharing ratio was updated.
Initially, he was only endorsing skeletal creatures. Now, an Arctic Ice Wolf was added, and an additional 20% was included in the sharing ratio.
Originally, my dad wanted to give you another 20%, but he’s planning to establish a dojo affiliated with our Elf House soon, so we’ll have to inconvenience you for the time being.”
A dojo?
Bai Qi silently gave Zhuge Chen’s dad a thumbs-up.
The Elf House handles sales, the dojo handles training, and I handle publicity. They clearly want to establish an industrial chain.
“No problem, let’s settle on this! Well sign the contract when I get back!” Thinking about the profits he could make from this industrial chain, Bai Qi’s eyes turned into dollar signs as he agreed to Zhuge Chen’s proposal without hesitation.
I’m going to strike it rich this time!
“Okay, when you return to Gusu City, Ill come to pick you up. My father wants to have a face-to-face chat with you.”
Initially, getting him to sign with Bai Qi was mainly because he was already familiar with him. Zhuge Xu – Zhuge Chen’s dad – didn’t expect Bai Qi to have come so far at that time, thinking of riding the hot trend while taking their younger generation along.
But now, Bai Qi has defeated Zhang Kai, a hot candidate for the top scorer, and it is said that Xia Xuan, the only one in Gusu City who seems to have hope to defeat Bai Qi, has also lost to him. Thus, the top scorer is pretty much set in stone.
An endorsement from the top scorer of the joint examination of the two cities, inviting a few masters to sit in the dojo at the opening, then their Elf House would be able to gain a solid footing in the financial group.
“Okay, I haven’t seen Uncle in a while.”
Bai Qi immediately agreed. He did know Zhuge Xu, and because of him, he became acquainted with Zhuge Chen. It’s just that Zhuge Xu was busy with business all year long and Bai Qi barely saw him.
“Alright, you focus on your match, I have to prepare something.”
Zhuge Chen hung up, and Bai Qi returned to the arena.
“Who’s the current match between?”
Bai Qi looked towards the arena, and the two contestants inside weren’t familiar to him. They were probably students from Lingxi City.
They are both from Lingxi City, one is Sun Ling and the other Gu Shan.”
Gao Cheng pointed to Gu Shan, who had an ordinary face, “That Gu Shan can contract double the pets than anyone else because of his talent enhancement of the Beast Control Space. He’s quite strong.”
Bai Qi looked in the direction Gao Cheng was pointing and indeed saw four pets of different races and attributes surrounding Gu Shan.
Emerald Snake, Golden Pupil Cat, Water Cannon Turtle, Blazing Bird.
This guy’s configuration, is quite imaginative…
Gazing at the four pets standing in four respective directions: front, back, left, and right of Gu Shan, Bai Qi also became interested and watched them for a little longer. He quickly discovered that the average levels of these four pets were quite low.
Undoubtedly, Gu Shan contracted four pets too early, and now his resources can’t keep up.
But beating Sun Ling shouldn’t be a problem.
Everyone’s levels are still quite low, so at this stage, the advantage of quantity still exists.
Of course, if Beast Masters who have talent enhancement for Beast Control Space and have enough resources, they are extremely powerful in the later stage. After all, having double the pet spaces than others is no joke.
Unless there is an unexpected twist, after this round of competition ends, there
should be some people who will have their eyes on Gu Shan.
But isn’t there anyone in Lingxi City reminding Gu Shan not to rush to contract so many pets?
Soon, the battle between Gu Shan and Sun Ling came to an end. Gu Shan advanced to the next round successfully, while Bai Qi and his companions didn’t have the mood to watch any more. They decided to go to a nearby restaurant to enjoy their lunch.
This time, Bai Qi didn’t refuse. He felt that he was about to adopt a diet of herbs soon. However, unable to stand the murderous gazes thrown by Gao Cheng and the others, he decided to go with them.
His role, of course, was to settle the bill.
An hour later, everyone returned to the arena after a good meal.
It was lunchtime now, and the arena was sparsely populated, with only a few die-hard fans and journalists still on the spectator seats.
The top ten hot contenders had basically finished their matches, and most spectators lost interest and went to worship their own temples (‘having lunch’).
However, the competition was tightly scheduled, so not long after, the spectators started returning.
Although it’s a pity that Zhang Kai was eliminated too early, there would be no lame ducks among the top five. The matches should still be quite enjoyable.
Sure enough, after the last newcomer of the second round had emerged, Mo Guan announced the schedule and pairing list of the third round.
And upon seeing the arrangements for the third round, Bai Qi couldn’t help but feel stunned.
“I got a bye?”
