Amid cheers from the audience, Xing Fuxing and her group took their seats in the contestants' area, waiting for the other planets to begin their self-introductions.
There were no fewer than 300 teams of childcare workers participating in the competition, and the process took quite a long time.
The cubs of Lu Mingming's family sat in the best seats in the first row of the stands, watching today's game up close.
Lu Yan and the short man, who had previously scored the childcare worker assessments, also appeared. As special guests, they sat in the judges' panel and nodded in Lu Mingming's direction as a greeting.

Is the bald man not here today?
While pondering, Lu Mingming also waved politely.
While waiting, Cheng Shiqin leaned closer and whispered, "It seems this year's competition venue isn't in the stadium. Look, none of the equipment has been set up yet..."
Upon hearing this, Lu Mingming looked around.
Indeed, the venue was empty, unlike when Xing Fuxing competed, where the venue was clearly visible. Only the crowded stands and the cannons in the blue sky gave one a sense of being in a competition.
"It doesn't seem like they'll be competing here..."
Cheng Shiqin had visited the main planet before and had naturally witnessed the grandeur and solemnity of previous visits.
"Let's wait and see what the host says, no rush."
Lu Mingming calmed Cheng Shiqin's chaotic thoughts and continued to focus her gaze on the main stage.
After a long string of pleasantries, the host enthusiastically announced, "Today we have a special guest who has come to our competition to cheer on all the contestants. Let us give a warm welcome to—the Alliance Heir Candidate, Earl Goodfinch!!"
Discussion group 563743675
When the name was announced, the entire audience fell silent for a minute in shock, followed by a thunderous and unstoppable wave of applause.
Goodfellow’s fervent supporters immediately unfurled banners in the stands, turning the game venue into an election site for the league’s successor.
"Hello everyone, I am the investor of this competition and also a candidate for the successor of the league."
Gu Defen dressed herself up to appear refined and intellectual in order to win favor.
"Since I am the organizer of this competition, I have made slight changes to the format of the competition from previous years."
These words caused a huge uproar.
After all, all the competitions had rules set in the first edition, and changing them so easily would be against the rules. In addition, the lack of prior notification from officials naturally caused dissatisfaction among some people.
"I knew I was going to cause trouble."
Cheng Shiqin's face was serious.
Goodfellow pressed his hand down to signal everyone to be quiet, but unfortunately not many audience members listened and continued to whisper and make noise in the audience.

Just then, long black rivers of light appeared in the arena, and an unknown army of people dressed in law enforcement uniforms and carrying guns automatically pointed their weapons at the noisy seats as a warning.
Everyone got scared and kept their mouths shut, not daring to say anything out of turn. The venue was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
The little white tiger's expression was gloomy and uncertain.
In the past, if it wasn't for entering the top ten competitions, there was no need for anyone from the main planet to come forward. What exactly is Goodfellow going to do today?
Yesterday, the weekly report from the General Affairs Office was not submitted... Is there a problem within the league itself?
The little white tiger looked up at the nearest law enforcement officer, already having a general idea in its mind.
He told Morian and Yi Fu in his mental world, "You two stay here to watch Mingming's match and protect her safety. I'm going back to the league officials."
Before anyone could agree, Oranal took advantage of the moment when the law enforcement officers weren't paying attention, used his mental powers as cover, and hurriedly jumped off his seat and left quickly.
As he watched his friend leave safely, Morian's expression remained solemn, his mind filled with a multitude of thoughts.
Goodfellow had better not be planning a rebellion, or things would be difficult to handle.

The players' seating area.
A sense of unease crept into Lu Mingming's heart.
Faced with the threat of guns, several of the anchors from major planets were filled with indignation and wanted to stand up, but they were quickly pulled back to their seats by the more authoritative elders in their families, who signaled them not to get involved.
Goodfellow is now practically the undisputed successor. Offending him will only bring trouble. It's better to play dumb and save your own life and that of your family.
Asteroid anchors like Oscar have never seen anything like this before, so they just keep their heads down and are unwilling to be the first to speak out.
Goodfellow stood on the center stage with a satisfied smile: "All the judges have unanimously decided to set the competition venue on the outskirts of the Alliance Great Forest, with each nanny assigned one cub. The competition will last for three days in the wild."
There's no need to worry. Our checks have confirmed that the surrounding area is very safe. The entire competition will be transparent and open to the public. It will be broadcast live on a large screen and by cameras, ensuring that the best childcare worker of the year is selected.
Although everything he said seemed to support the competition, Lu Mingming thought about it carefully and felt that something was wrong.
This is a different scene than usual.
In interstellar space, there are two types of people with strong mental abilities: those in the military and those who are caretakers. When all the best caretakers are confined to one place and monitored by cameras every minute, their combat capabilities are reduced by one-fifth.
