Although this competition has a small audience, don't forget that Henglong City is also called Dragon City, and it is the city with the most Beast Tamers who have contracted Dragon-type pet beasts in the entire country.
Dragon Knights are everywhere.
Coupled with the opening of the New Talent Rankings, there are quite a few young people like Mingxi who come to earn points.
Therefore, the total number of contestants is still very # Nоvеlight # considerable.
A total of 318 people.
The waiting area is located on the first underground floor of Xiqi Plaza, which was originally a large underground supermarket. A while ago, the supermarket owner got into a lawsuit, and the supermarket was forced to close.
It is said that they are re-recruiting businesses.
The Hailam Cup choosing to be held in Xiqi Plaza is one of the methods of business recruitment.
"...Huh? Look, isn't that He Binbin? How could someone of his status come to participate in the Hailam Cup?"
"It's quite normal. He's from Henglong City, and his first contracted pet beast was a Hailam Dragon. The organizers probably specifically invited him."
"With He Binbin's Hailam, what's there left for us to compete for?"
"It's probably about participation."
"...Is that the vice president of Beta Technology over there? I heard before that he participates in the Hailam Cup every year; he's serious about the beauty contest."
"It's true love."
As soon as Mingxi entered the waiting area, she was surrounded by various waves of sound.
The place was bustling with noise, and the amount of information was quite large.
Even though the Hailam Cup has a small audience, there are quite a few eye-catching contestants.
For example, He Binbin, who became famous at a young age. He is 39 years old this year, and he rose to fame at 19 by participating in the Blue Sun Cup. Now, he is a well-known Professional Beastmaster in Dragonflower Country.
For example, Long You, a female celebrity. freewebnovel.cσ๓
For example...
There are quite a few famous people, some were indeed invited by the organizers to increase the appeal of the competition.
Others are genuinely interested in this type of competition and are regulars at the Hailam Cup.
"Speaking of which, are there a bit too many young people this year?"
"Normal. Next year is the new Blue Sun Cup, and at this time, the New Talent Rankings must have opened, so these young people are probably here to earn points."
"Sister Yu, isn't that Mingxi?"
In a corner of the waiting area, five good-looking young people sat together. One of them, an orange-haired teenager, noticed Mingxi and asked his companions beside him with some uncertainty.
"It seems to be her."
"Who are you talking about? Mingxi? The Beast Tamers of Lei Yan Great Wind?"
Chu Ziyang nodded, "That's her."
"Isn't Lei Yan Great Wind a Flight and Thunder-type pet beast? Why is she participating in a competition for Dragon-type pet beasts?"
"Are you stupid? Don't you know she awakened her second Soul Key a long time ago? Since she's here, it means her second pet beast is a Dragon-type."
"What a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet her here. Do you think she, like us, is also participating in this competition to climb the rankings?"
"Climbing the rankings" refers to increasing points on the New Talent Rankings.
Chu Ziyang and the other four are all students of Dragonflower International Beast Taming Academy, and they are all working hard for the New Talent Rankings.
Because they all contracted a Dragon-type pet beast, they usually communicate more and have a good relationship. This time, they happened to agree to come together to earn points.
"How is that possible! How old is she?" ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
"I also think it's unlikely. I admit she is indeed excellent, and I couldn't compare to her at her age, but climbing the New Talent Rankings now is a bit too exaggerated!"
Luo Chuan, the most arrogant of the five, snorted disdainfully, "It's not exaggerated, it's overestimating herself!"
Chu Ziyang frowned and retorted, "So what if she really is climbing the rankings? There's no rule that a 14-year-old can't register for the New Talent Rankings?"
"It's not that she can't, but don't you think it's a waste of time? At 14, you know it's absolutely impossible to enter the top 20 of the New Talent Rankings."
In previous years, Dragonflower Country could be allocated a minimum of 15 Blue Sun Cup spots and a maximum of 20 spots.
Therefore, to get a Blue Sun Cup spot, one must at least climb to the top 20 of the New Talent Rankings.
"...Can't she just be accumulating experience for the next session?"
Luo Chuan pouted, "Heh heh, then she's really boring."
Ran Siyu, one of the only two girls among the five, and the "Sister Yu" Chu Ziyang mentioned, smiled and interrupted their childish confrontation. She gestured towards the distance, "You don't need to argue anymore, the answer will be revealed soon. Xintian has already gone to strike up a conversation with Mingxi."
There are really too many social butterflies these days.
Mingxi looked speechlessly at the girl who actively held her hand, claiming to be a fan of her and Golden Yuanbao, and directly asked if she was participating in the Hailam Cup to climb the New Talent Rankings.
...Yes.
Although Xintian came to ask, she actually, like Luo Chuan, didn't think Mingxi was truly climbing the rankings.
She was indeed too young.
While she certainly stood out among her peers, compared to other geniuses on the New Talent Rankings, she had no competitive edge.
But she didn't expect Ran Siyu to actually guess correctly.
She really was climbing the rankings!
What should she say?
Ignorance is bliss? A newborn calf fears no tiger?
Xintian secretly shook her head, feeling that Mingxi was somewhat unrealistic, but she didn't show it.
She smiled and praised, "Little sister has great ideas, good luck!"
Mingxi also smiled and politely replied, "Thank you."
Xintian didn't say anything more, bouncing back to her companions. Soon, five heads huddled together.
They would occasionally look up and sneak a peek at Mingxi, some surprised, some disdainful, and some excited.
Mingxi acted as if she hadn't noticed their attention, found an empty seat, and took out a newly bought book to read.
Actually, her spatial ring, suitcase, and personal terminal had been found, they were in Wei Yangang's spatial tool, but she couldn't take them out now.
Otherwise, she would be exposed.
So Mingxi bought a new copy of the books and materials.
She wondered where those monitoring people and pet beasts were hiding?
Anyway, Mingxi didn't feel anything at all.
As expected of the mysterious Dark Department.
"The live broadcast is about to start!"
Someone in the crowd shouted.
The organizers of the Hailam Cup collaborated with the Douyin live streaming platform, and the entire competition would be broadcast live.
Hearing the shout, many contestants opened the Douyin platform on their personal terminals and entered the competition live stream.
Starting the "watching myself" live stream nesting doll mode.
Mingxi also wanted to do a nesting doll, but her temporary terminal didn't have this function.
At this time, the live stream's bullet comments had been churned into a washing machine.
【Wow! So many people!】
【Ahhh! I saw my brother, he really came to participate in the Hailam Cup.】
【Isn't this a Dragon-type pet beast competition? Why don't I see a single Dragon-type pet beast?】
【Upstairs, where's your brain? Most Dragon-type pet beasts are relatively large. In this environment, if everyone brought their pet beasts with them, wouldn't they squeeze the delicate Beast Tamers into paper-thin figures!】
【Delicate Beast Tamers: He's real, I love him so much!】
【Sisters, who knows that group of handsome men and beautiful women in the corner? They stand out among a group of uncles and aunties!】
