Yunfei squatted down and stroked the fur of the flying wolf that had just arrived. He acted on instinct only; he didn't like doing things that required thinking.

Cheng Huaijin suddenly had a bright idea. She squatted down and said to Yunfei, "I have an idea, see if it works for you."

"My little armored tiger can shrink and grow at will. It can grow bigger to harass the Softhearted Vine, and your Gale Wolf is fast, so it can join in the harassment. Then, while the Softhearted Vine is dealing with them, we can go to the resource point to collect supplies."

"The Softhearted Vine senses we'll likely withdraw some of its vines to deal with us, so your Frost Wolf will need to keep a close eye on the situation and freeze the vines when the time is right. Once we've completed the mission, we'll fly away immediately."

Cheng Huaijin looked into Yun Fei's eyes and asked, "Can you control the Gale Wolf, Frost Wolf, and Flying Wolf simultaneously?"

Yunfei nodded.

...As expected, Yunfei could control at least three pet beasts at the same time.

Cheng Huaijin subtly extracted the information he wanted, then said to Yun Fei, "Let's take action."

Yunfei summoned Frost Wolves and Gale Wolves. Cheng Huaijin also summoned a Little Ironclad Tiger.

The Gale Wolf and the Little Ironclad Tiger charged towards the Heart-Softening Vine's base in two directions, while Cheng Huaijin and Yun Fei led the remaining pets to the resource point.

The sounds of vines slicing through the air and the sounds of battle rang out continuously. Cheng Huaijin sensed the condition of the little armored tiger and found it to be fine.

"Now's the time, charge!" As soon as Cheng Huaijin stepped into the sensing area of ​​the Heart Soft Vine, he and Yunfei quickly ran to the resource point, swiftly scanning their palm prints. Scanning takes 10 seconds.

In those 10 seconds, the Softhearted Vine sensed an intruder entering its territory and quickly extended several vines to attack.

"ice!"

The Frost Wolf opened its mouth and fired a blue beam of light, freezing the vines wherever it touched.

Sensing the danger, the soft-hearted vine retracted its vines that were fighting outside and returned to provide support.

Just then, the check-in ended. Cheng Huaijin and Yun Fei grabbed a supply pack and ran.

"Electric! Electric!" The Thunder Elf picked up Cheng Huaijin and flew away.

The Frost Wolf brought up the rear, and after Yunfei and Cheng Huaijin had flown a distance, Yunfei directly recalled them back to the pet space.

"Phew, those vines startled me."

Although Yunfei was 18 years old, older than Cheng Huaijin who was 13, he was short and had a simple and innocent demeanor, which made Cheng Huaijin unconsciously treat him as a younger brother.

Upon hearing this, Yunfei looked up and smiled, his round cat eyes curving into crescents, making him look particularly innocent and naive.

I have an urge to pinch her cheeks.

Cheng Huaijin hesitated for a moment, then suppressed the idea... He'd do it later when they were more familiar with each other.

After a short rest, the two headed to checkpoint number 2 according to the map.

I love the Misty Beasts Network's Mist Cup Pet Challenge live stream.

Real-time ranking of contestants' progress.

[First place: An Yajing, progress 15%]

[Second place, Leah, progress 12%]

[Third place, Wang Mingyang, progress 10%]

[Fourth place, Blazing Inferno, progress 9.8%]

...

[Rank 498, Baili Sha, progress 6%]

[Rank 499, Yunfei, progress 5%]

[Rank 500, Cheng Huaijin, progress 5%]

...

The live stream randomly switches between the players' match footage in turn, and viewers can choose which player's live stream they want to watch.

Of course, apart from some players' fans, most viewers watched the official live stream directly.

Because many star players participated, the comments section was filled with heated arguments.

[Damn it! This competition is rigged! How come Blazing Flame has only reached 9.8% progress after completing five tasks?]

[Hahaha, this is what they call being destined to never beat Leah~]

[Lia's luck is amazing, she got to 12% with just three quest points...]

[Look at the leaderboard! Wang Mingyang only used one mission point and jumped straight to 10%! That's what you call a chosen one!]

【Why did my Feifei only get 5%?! It's all that woman's fault for dragging us down, she's so awful!】

...

Fang Juexia was excited when she saw Cheng Huaijin's name on the leaderboard, and immediately retorted when she saw comments mentioning Cheng Huaijin.

[If Cheng Huaijin hadn't been so indecisive, he wouldn't have been able to successfully check in at Xinruanteng's territory so quickly!]

Whether it was Yunfei's bad luck or Cheng Huaijin's bad luck, the initial resource point they found was very remote, and the Softhearted Vine guarding the resource point was one of the most troublesome pets.

After Cheng Huaijin and Yun Fei froze the Heart Soft Vine, they fled at top speed, allowing the contestants who came after hearing the commotion to snatch them away.

However, the supply packs at each resource point are limited. Just as they were fighting over them, the Softhearted Vine thawed and began to entangle them fiercely!

As the players wailed, the number of competitors changed.

[Number of participants remaining: 861.]

The training room for the No. 1 junior high school team.

The team members train every day, and during their break today, everyone watched the Mist Cup live stream.

"I wonder if that contestant from our city got eliminated yet." A boy with a small bun in his hair browsed the leaderboard. "I heard she's the only one from our Dongcheng district who went."

"Who is it? Do you know them?" someone asked.

Little Piggy, head down, scrolled through the leaderboard: "I don't recognize him, but I remember the name is... Ah, I've got it, Cheng Huaijin!"

"Who?!" Cheng Woyu, who was doing strength training, felt a chill when she heard the name. She threw the training equipment in her hand aside with a bang.

Everyone was startled, watching Cheng Woyu stride towards Xiao Jiu Jiu, snatch the communicator, and nervously check the leaderboard.

However, the leaderboard updates so quickly, almost every second, that Cheng Woyu didn't see Cheng Huaijin's name.

"Cheng Woyu, I've put up with you for so long, what are you so arrogant about!" The boy with the pigtails got angry and threw a punch at Cheng Woyu.

Cheng Woyu was struck hard on the right cheek and fell to the left, dropping his communicator.

He saw a barrage of comments scroll across the communicator screen. Among so many comments, this one stood out. It was a bright yellow color exclusive to members, complete with borders and special effects.

Cheng Huaijin will win! Cheng Huaijin is number one!!

...She actually went to participate in the Mist Cup. She was the only one in the entire East City to participate.

Cheng Woyu fell to the ground and was pinned down and beaten by the boy.

But his mind was blank; he just stared at the boy's face.

No, that's impossible.

How could she possibly be better than me?
