Chapter 191: Start of Competition
“This is a fire avoidance crystal, you can give it to Purple Jade. It can reduce fire damage by 15%. This is a pure heart, which can let your pet be immune to general control once; you can give it to your Purgatory Fire Thief. There are a few other things. See if you need anything else.” Tang Long pointed to a pile of things on the table as he spoke.
“As for Chen Ruoxue, I also prepared a pure heart and a dragon scale, which can increase the attack of your dragons by 10%, for you.” He showed the treasures one by one.
In order for the team to win the championship this time, he had given it his all. He wanted to take the right to host the city league next year and show his strength to his family, hence proving himself.
“It’s enough. Thank you.” Su Bai nodded. The treasures’ increment of their pets’ attacks was limited. Generally, there were more auxiliary types and defense types, and they were all consumables and could not be used a few times.
Su Bai also had them, but he did not need these things under normal circumstances.
For example, the pure heart. It only controlled and was immune to dizziness, confusion, and sleep, yet it had high requirements for quality.
After dividing the treasures to everyone, Tang Long took out the potions for Wang Er, Qian Shan, and Zhao Li.
“This is the potion I’ve spent a lot of money to dispense for you, and I’ve also taken out a part of the club’s budget in advance. See if you can make your pets break through, but your pets’ breeding allowances may be reduced in the future.”
Tang Long had no other way. He could not pay for everything all by himself, for he also had to raise his pets.
He had given these three people potions naturally because of their pet attributes and strength.
The Electric Python had evolved into the dragon subspecies of the Single-horned Electric Dragon, the Flame Crow had evolved into the Four-winged Flame Crow, and the Diving Crocodile had evolved into the Deep-sea Crocodile. They not only had good attributes but had also completed their secondary evolutions, which was why Tang Long had chosen these three.
Regarding this, others could not refute this fact and had nothing to say.
“Thank you, director!” The three nodded gratefully before returning to the room with the potions.
“Now, I believe our chances of winning have greatly increased,” Li Xing clenched her fists and said.
“Yes, as long as Zhao Li and the others’ pets break through, the odds of winning will indeed increase,” Li Hai pulled Li Xing and said.
“Okay, I’ve done everything I could. The rest is up to everyone’s, including yours and Coach Zhao Kong’s, efforts.” Tang Long took a sip of water and lay on the sofa.
“I’ll return to my room first.” Su Bai took the fire-avoiding crystal and pure heart back to the room.
“Here. These are for you two.” He handed the two treasures in his hands to the cub and the dino, which were playing games and watching drama respectively.
“Howl?” How is this used? The cub took a look and brought the fire-avoiding crystal to its neck.
“Roar!” Sister Jade, I know! This can be used by infusing it with spiritual power.
The dino was about to inject some spiritual power into it as it spoke, but Su Bai quickly slapped it away. “No, this pure heart can only be used three times. You can only use it during the game. As for you, Jade, you can use it when you’re under attack by a fire-attribute pet. It has a 15% damage-free effect.”
These things were very expensive, with the lowest market price of tens of millions, and could only be purchased by professional Pet Tamers.
Normally, he would not use these extravagant things. If he had the money, he would rather buy an extra bottle of potion for his pets.
“Howl!” Thank you, Ah Bai. (๑oั╰╯oั๑)
“Roar!” Same! The dino bounced around like a baby, playing with the transparent pure heart which was the size of a ping-pong ball.
“Remember: Only use this thing when I tell you to. It’s only immune to the timely control of hypnosis, dizziness, and chaos. It can’t help you be immune to strong and continuous mind control like that of the baby fox,” he exhorted.
“Roar!” I understand, Ah Bai! The dino nodded like a simple-minded man.
Soon, Wang Er and the three of them came from their respective rooms. Zhao Li and Qian Shan had happy smiles on their faces, but Wang Er was looking depressed.
“Sorry, my Single-horned Electric Dragon failed to break through to the commander level. I failed everyone’s expectations.” He bowed in apology.
Qian Shan’s Diving Crocodile and Zhao Li’s Flame Crow had both broken to the commander level in an instant, but the Electric Dragon had failed to do so.
“It’s okay. Your Electric Dragon is much stronger than ordinary pets, so it’s naturally harder for it to break through. Don’t blame yourself.” Li Hai comforted him.
Wang Er remained silent and shook his head. He kept the Electric Dragon and sat on the sofa with his head low.
Everyone understood this kind of thing. Although Su Bai had a plug-in cheat, he dared not say that he could formulate a catalytic agent and make a 100% breakthrough for his pets.
No one could be accurate about such things.
“Okay, let Coach Zhao explain to everyone about the routines against the opponents. Don’t go easy on them and don’t be afraid of insidious things. There are only winners and losers in the game and there’s no such thing as an insidious method. You must learn from Su Bai on this point,” Tang Long said.
Su Bai: “…It’s called a strategy, not an insidious method.”
“I understand, but it’s still worth learning from.” The director waved his hand disapprovingly. Who would believe him?
The boy was quite speechless. Had he left such a deep impression previously?
It was not that he no longer used insidious methods but that he did not want to use them in formal occasions. If he did, everyone would guard against him, and his insidious methods would no longer carry an element of surprise.
However, Tang Long’s strategy increased the team’s chances of winning. In addition, they would be on the offensive rather than the defensive tomorrow. They held high hopes for the game.
In the evening, Chen Ruoxue, who had been in the hotel room for two days, suggested, “Let’s go out to eat tonight. I checked, and there’s a famous specialty seafood barbecue not far from here.”
“Alright. It’ll be good to go for a stroll. It’s too boring to stay indoors.” Su Bai nodded.
They told Yu Lingyue about it and left together.
“What do you want to eat?” she asked, smiling while holding his arm after leaving the hotel.
“I want to try grilled octopus, as well as garlic scallops, oysters, and grilled prawns. I want to try them all; I haven’t tried them yet,” Su Bai thought for a while and said.
“I want to eat grilled squid. I heard that there’s some special seafood there, so I want to eat it all, too. I’ve already booked a seat for us,” Chen Ruoxue shook the phone and said.
“Howl!” I want to drink milk! The elft walked over to the two and batted its eyelashes.
“The supermarket next to the seafood shop should be selling it. I’ll buy Baiyuan milk for you; it is more expensive than floral milk and is said to taste more delicious.” Chen Ruoxue took Purple Jade’s hand and smiled.
Thank you. It kissed and even licked her in its joy.
“You’re welcome.” She smiled, knowing that this was the cub’s way of expressing intimacy.
Cats licked whoever they fancied.
“Hehe!” I wanna eat fear. Can you let me scare someone? Super Big Demon batted its eyelashes at her, too.
She rolled her eyes and was about to reject it when a Porsche slammed its brakes and stopped beside the two of them.
“Ruoxue, where are you going? I’ll take you there.” When the car window was rolled down, a young man in fashionable clothes and with golden earrings took out a rose and spoke with a smile.
He had bought over the front desk of their hotel a long time ago and had been chasing after her as soon as the two came out.
“Get lost. Can’t you see that she has a boyfriend?” Su Bai pulled Chen Ruoxue behind him and cursed unceremoniously.
He had met this person, and according to the information, this was Yang Hai, the captain of the Shanghai team. His family was a real-estate tycoon.
“Yes, are you blind? Don’t you see that I have a boyfriend?” Chen Ruoxue also cursed.
Yang Hai did not get angry at all despite being scolded by her. Instead, he smiled elegantly and said, “Ruoxue even has a unique sense of beauty when scolding.”
After speaking, he sized up Su Bai with disgust in his eyes and turned to look at Purple Jade. He swept his gaze across the elf’s chest and legs, looking amazed. “Brother, this is your pet? Can you sell it to me? I’ll buy it for one billion. With that money, you’ll have enough to breed pets in the future. Isn’t it a good deal?”
“Do you want to die?” Su Bai smiled.
Yang Hai laughed disapprovingly. “It’s okay. I believe that you’ll figure it out, brother. It’s so cost-effective to trade a commander pet for one billion. If you figure it out, come to me anytime.
“I advise you to leave Ruoxue early. Doves don’t mate with crows. She’s destined to become a soaring phoenix. If you really love her, you should let her go. Don’t restrict her development as you have no future.
“If Ruoxue were like me and didn’t have to worry about resources from a young age, it’s estimated that her pets would easily reach the sovereign level…”
Before he finished speaking, Super Big Demon quietly appeared behind him and immediately enveloped him with hypnotism.
At this moment, a beautiful Demon Butterfly Fairy appeared beside Yang Hai and a wave of illusions repelled Super Big Demon’s attack.
“Don’t be so naughty. I’m treating you sincerely. As long as you are willing to break up with him, we can get married right away.”
Yang Hai held the 1.5-meter-long Demon Butterfly Fairy in his arms and left with one hand driving the Porsche.
“At first, I thought he’s a human being, but now it seems that he’s just a black crow in the world.” Chen Ruoxue clenched her fists and cursed through gritted teeth.
If not for them being in public, with psychic alarms everywhere, which could alert the police about a fight, she would really try to kill the guy directly.
Fighting openly in the city was dealt with very strictly, and a professional Pet Tamer’s certificate would be revoked at once. A non-professional Pet Tamer would be unable to obtain a license for life and might even go to jail.
Serious death sentences were not a problem.
This was a strict rule to maintain social stability. If there was no background or if the psychic alert was blocked, no one would dare to commit a crime in the city.
“Don’t get angry. You are indeed a dove; he’s right. Unfortunately, he’s the crow, not me.” Su Bai teased her. “Don’t worry. This kind of thing won’t last long.”
In his heart, that guy was already dead.
Not only Ruoxue, he also had evil designs on Purple Jade. It was better for that kind of arrogant scumbag, who felt invincible with his rich background, to go to hell.
“Once I’ve nurtured Xiao Bing and Xiao Hei, I must get rid of all these people.” Chen Ruoxue was still furious.
Actually, Chen Ruoxue was not to blame. The main reason was that these people were attracted to her dragon pets as flies were to feces. In their opinion, no one could resist money. If they could, it only meant that they did not offer enough.
They were certain that Chen Ruoxue would eventually make a choice in order to cultivate her two dragons.
After calming herself down, she finally sorted out her mood and took her boyfriend to eat.
As for Su Bai, he was not bothered. Those people made him disgusted, so the best way was to send them to hell instead of getting angry over their bullshit.
He would just take their bullshit as their last words.
However, their meal still became dull and tasteless. No one could eat calmly after being disgusted by feces.
…
Soon, it was the next day. Su Bai and the others got up early and arranged their luggage. Regardless if the game was successful or not, they would leave in the afternoon.
At half past seven, they ate the arranged takeout and set off on time.
“I’m waiting for you to return triumphantly,” Tang Long said with a smile in the living room. “Just do your best; don’t have too much psychological pressure.”
Everyone nodded and walked out behind Yu Lingyue and Zhao Kong.
This time, Su Bai was the captain and Chen Ruoxue was the deputy captain. This was based on the actual situation, and no one disagreed. Even if they disagreed, they would be unable to beat the two.
Their destination was the Bihai Colosseum, which was not far from their current location. It was the largest stadium in Shanghai. It was a syndrome sports arena which integrated various functions.
The entire colosseum could hold nearly 200,000 people. Normally, the seats would not be filled, even if Su Bai and the others appeared in this National League Tournament. It was not bad if 80,000 or 90,000 people came to watch.
“Ms. Chen, here is a rose from a guest, signed by Yang Hai.” When they went downstairs, the lady at the front desk took out a large bouquet of roses.
“Wow, that person is too disgusting. Sister Ruoxue has already said time and again that she has a boyfriend, but he still sends flowers here every morning,” Li Xing said angrily. The opponent had not only disgusted Chen Ruoxue but also their other female players.
The man’s pursuit of their teammate was too persistent.
The other players also looked coldly and gritted their teeth, feeling a wave of anger in their hearts.
As for Chen Ruoxue, her face was as cold as snow, and sharp killing intent radiated from her eyes.
The front-desk lady moved away in fright.
They soon arrived at Bihai Colosseum.
The colosseum was crowded with people, and the exclusive passage that Su Bai took was also surrounded by a group of fans. The men looked at Chen Ruoxue, while the women looked at Su Bai.
The last provincial competition had made his reputation soar. News of a god carrying his team members to win had been uploaded on the Internet a long time ago.
They walked into the rest area expressionlessly. Unlike last time, many fans cheered for them.
However, everyone’s mood was not very good, and there were many fans of the Shanghai team sitting in the rest area opposite them. These players waved to and interacted with their fans.
Soon, the opening ceremony of the game began. After various fancy performances, some wonderful clips of the previous fights between the two sides were displayed on a big screen. The commentators also brought the atmosphere to the highest point through a passionate commentary.
“Okay. Now, I announce the official start of this match! The game mode is the traditional offensive and defensive battle. According to the results of the prior draw, the Shanghai team will send players to defend the match, and the Cannes team will send players to attack. Let us invite the Shanghai team to send out defenders!”
With the exciting music, the commentator announced the official start of the match.
