Due to the appearance of the Secret Realm rift, the area around Pink Mansion on Que Wei Street has been sealed off by the Dragonflower Country’s Secret Realm Management Department.
As per usual, before the rift stabilizes, one thousand visitor slots are released daily, allowing some citizens the opportunity to get a close look at the mysterious spatial rift.
One thousand ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ visitor slots may seem like a lot, but it caters to nearly ten billion people across 12 regions nationwide.
That's a drop in the ocean.
Moreover, half of the thousand visitor slots are exclusively for Wang Hai Province, where Ping Que City is located.
Therefore, citizens who couldn't get visitor slots could only settle for second best, crowding the outer perimeter of Que Wei Street to watch the excitement.
So, every day, the area outside Que Wei Street was packed with people, three layers deep both inside and out, blocking the road completely.
The local police station, Special Criminal Bureau, Yushou Center, and Beastmaster Association all dispatched personnel to barely maintain order in the area.
“I heard the Secret Realm passage is opening today?”
“That’s what the news said. Yesterday was the last day for visitors. Anyone who can enter Que Wei Street today, besides the Secret Realm Management Department personnel, must be a big shot who has obtained the qualification to enter the Secret Realm.”
“I've never entered a Secret Realm in my life. It's rare for a Secret Realm to Descent in our city, but I can only sigh in admiration. This damn sky is too unfair!”
“Sigh, who isn't?”
“In my opinion, since the Secret Realm Descent in our city, all entry slots should be given to our local residents. Why should outsiders benefit?”
“Exactly, our city government is too useless; we can't even protect our own resources!”
“This is the Qi Palace Secret Realm. I heard that as long as you can enter the Qi Palace, you are guaranteed to gain something. Such a good thing was actually divided up, and we probably won't even get a drop of the soup.”
“Heh heh, it sounds like when Secret Realms appeared in other regions and cities, Beast Tamers from your region and city didn't go to get a piece of the pie.”
“Some people are just so shameless. When there's a benefit to be gained, they snatch it more fiercely than mad dogs, but when others benefit, they wail more miserably than dead dogs. What a bunch of hypocrites!”
“Exactly, if you Ping Que City residents have the guts, then always stick to your own small plot of land and don't take advantage of other regions!”
Those Ping Que City citizens who said outsiders shouldn't benefit all turned grim.
“Who are you calling a hypocrite?!”
“Whoever is barking senselessly.”
“Damn it! I'll kill you! Everyone! Summon your pet beasts!”
“Heh heh, it's not certain who will win! Pipida, time to work!”
Seeing that the verbal conflict was about to escalate into a group brawl, the temporary security guards nearby, who were maintaining order, had already separated the two groups of people.
Valiant Bear led the way, Titan Wall controlled the crowd, and Silent Demon silenced the entire scene.
The series of operations was as smooth as a female worker who had been on an assembly line for more than twenty years, so skilled it was heartbreaking.
There was no other way; similar conflicts had occurred too many times in the past few days.
After more than half a month, they could perform the operations with their eyes closed.
In fact, this situation is very common, almost always happening whenever a Secret Realm Descent in a human inhabited area. Even if the government expends effort to guide the public, there's no way to completely resolve it.
When personal interests are involved, how many people can truly think calmly?
Moreover, there are also deliberate provocations from interested parties, such as hostile countries or certain overseas organizations.
Chang Tongzhou breathed a slight sigh of relief when he saw that his subordinates had successfully resolved the 'minor scuffle'.
He is the Deputy Section Chief of the External Affairs Department of the Secret Realm Special Administration Bureau, primarily responsible for maintaining stability in the outer perimeter this time. At the same time, he has another task—to initially confirm and receive those lucky individuals who have obtained Secret Realm entry slots.
“Hello, are you Section Chief Chang?”
A clear voice of a young girl sounded.
Chang Tongzhou looked at the young girl slowly walking towards him.
Although she covered most of her face with a mask, revealing only a pair of large, bright eyes, Chang Tongzhou, who had seen the information of all the 'lucky ones' in advance, immediately recognized her identity.
“You must be Miss Ming? I am Chang Tongzhou.”
His gaze, surprised and curious, scrutinized the petite young girl who barely reached his armpit.
Mingxi, a Beast Tamers who had awakened only half a year ago, a child with an ordinary family background that made her blend into the crowd.
Yet, her fame was already catching up to Lu Yun Shen, the genius Beast Tamers who had won the National High School Beast Taming League for two consecutive years and was hailed as the top young talent in Dragonflower Country.
Some even asserted that her future development was highly likely to surpass Qi Shen He Ningqi, the Transcendent who dominated the Alliance's prodigies two hundred years ago and won the first Starsea Cup championship trophy for Dragonflower Country.
Of course, this statement was merely one person's opinion, and most people scoffed at it, even cursing the person who made it.
As Dragonflower Country's recognized strongest individual and the only SSS-level Beast Master in Dragonflower Country, Qi Shen holds a supreme position in the hearts of many.
No one can be compared to him.
Therefore, the person who suggested that Mingxi could surpass Qi Shen in the future was lambasted by countless people.
However, even when being pointed at and cursed by a group of people, that person still insisted on his opinion.
That person was Chu Yanwang.
Chang Tongzhou also disagreed with Chu Yanwang's statement, but he did not deny that Mingxi was indeed excellent.
A 14-year-old D-level Beastmaster, Qi Shen didn't even achieve that back then.
Moreover, he heard that Xiao Guniang had also awakened beyond her original potential.
All three of her pet beasts were new evolutionary types. If purely comparing talent, Qi Shen in his youth was indeed far behind.
However, Qi Shen belonged to the type of late-blooming genius who accumulated strength over time, unlike Mingxi, who showed her talent right after awakening.
“Here is my identification.” After confirming she had found the right person, Mingxi pulled out her identity information.
Chang Tongzhou confirmed it was correct.
“Miss Ming, you will enter the Qi Palace Secret Realm as number 250. Due to the Secret Realm's special nature, your ranking is relatively low, so you should be mentally prepared for the possibility of your slot being invalid.” free𝑤ebnovel.com
Mingxi nodded.
The number 250 was truly unlucky, but there was no other way; given her situation, it was impossible for her to obtain a higher-ranked slot on her own.
“Xiao Meng, send a clone to take Miss Ming over.”
The 'Staff Member' named Xiao Meng was not human, but a Guiding Rabbit.
Although the Guiding Rabbit is a combat-type Transcendent creature, it actually has almost no combat ability.
But it is one of the few Transcendent creatures that possess the ability to simulate various languages.
After specialized training, it can communicate directly with humans.
In addition to this, the Guiding Rabbit has unique skills in cultivating clones.
It is famous for having many clones that can be maintained for a long time.
Therefore, most Guiding Rabbits can serve multiple roles, making them the favorite working rabbits of capitalists!
A large, grayish-white rabbit with a pair of light yellow rabbit ears appeared before Mingxi.
A Guiding Rabbit clone.
“Guide, sister, this way.”
Well, this was a big rabbit with a strong dialect accent.
