"Now, please welcome our champion team to the stage!"
Qin Xiao was completely stunned when he heard this.
Holy crap, there's even this kind of segment? Are they trying to be awkward?!
He'd remember that high school freshman representative's speech for the rest of his life; now that he's a beast tamer, why is he doing this again?!
Applause, accompanied by shouts of "Wow!", rose and fell.
As one person looked at him, all eyes in the hall focused on him.
Damn it, if I had known, I would have preferred to let the beast rot in the secret realm. Why did I have to kill it?
There was no other way, so Qin Xiao gritted his teeth and went for it.
As I walked along, the crowd automatically parted, and pairs of envious and jealous eyes watched me.
Qin Xiao walked on expressionlessly, while Zhou Lei grinned foolishly behind him, looking like the silly son of a landlord.
He even clapped for himself as he walked.
He walked onto the stage and stood next to the vice mayor.
"Captain of the championship team, is there anything you'd like to say?"
Vice Mayor Zhao Jun stepped aside and asked with a friendly expression,
However, the half of his face, wrinkled as if burned, made him seem unfriendly.
Qin Xiao remained silent for a long while before speaking.
"Thank you to our homeroom teacher, thank you to the school, thank you to the principal, thank you to Qingzhou City..."
When Qin Xiao began to express his gratitude, which lasted for three minutes, the deputy mayor's face stiffened.
"Finally, I'm grateful for the encounter; it's wonderful to have you all on this journey! Thank you everyone, that's all I have to say."
Zhao Jun's face stiffened, and he muttered to himself.
Damn, you've got some talent. It's a real waste of your abilities if you don't come to the government and become a lowly craftsman.
"Hehe, Qin Xiao is indeed interesting, and he has a great attitude. Let's give another round of applause to their team."
After three minutes of thanks, a few scattered, silent claps broke out from the crowd.
"Alright, next, please have the captains of the top ten teams come up on stage as representatives to receive the rewards from the Beast Taming Department!"
A stir ran through the crowd. After all, this was the real highlight of the training camp.
The rewards for this training camp have also been announced.
Rank 4-10: 100 five-star Silver-tier Spirit Crystals corresponding to the Beast Taming attribute, 1 green skill bead corresponding to the attribute, 1 million Huawu Coins, and one Silver-tier Beast Taming Department Secret Realm access for all team members.
The third place winner, among the above conditions, will have their green skill orb upgraded to blue, their Huawu Coins upgraded to two million, and their entire team gain access to the Gold-tier Secret Realm once.
The second place winner, under the above conditions, will have their blue skill orb upgraded to purple, their Huawu Coins upgraded to three million, and all team members granted access to the Gold-tier Secret Realm once.
The first place winner will receive the following rewards: upgrade a purple skill bead to orange, upgrade Huawu coins to five million, grant all team members access to the Gold Tier Secret Realm once, and allow the winner to choose any beast with purple talent or less from the Qingzhou Beast Taming Department.
Upon hearing the rewards, especially the reward for first place, everyone was stunned.
The rewards for the training competition had never been so impressive before, especially the option to choose any purple beast, which left the representatives of all the factions speechless.
Purple-tier Beast Taming Talent!
It's a lifelong dream for so many people!
They just gave it to me like that? And I can choose whichever I want!!
Regardless of everyone's shock, Zhao Jun, satisfied with the result, continued to speak.
"This training camp has now come to a successful conclusion. Students, please focus on solidifying your foundation."
Students aspiring to take the Beast Tamer entrance exam, please arrive at 9:00 AM on Monday, fifteen days from now.
Bring your Beast Taming skill and student ID, and gather at the Beast Taming Department of the Municipal Government. Please do not be late!
Meeting adjourned!
The last sentence was spoken with exceptional force and conviction.
Inside the glass cubicle, Hu Bukuan's face was flushed. "Captain, have you received any news?"
Liu Feixue also had a strange expression and shook her head.
"No, the Beast Taming Department really went all out this time. This wave of rewards, tsk tsk, I just don't know if that kid can handle it."
Hu Bukuan was taken aback, and hesitated before saying, "This, this is an official reward from the Beast Taming Department, no one would dare to covet it, right?"
Liu Feixue smiled and said, "Who knows? It's all about coercion and enticement. I actually hope that kid can't resist, so we'll have a chance to extend an olive branch."
Hu Bukuan was speechless. You really are a dog.
Soon, Qin Xiao followed the top ten to a counter to choose his reward.
Huawu Coins were given on the spot, and the secret realm access was also registered in the personal file.
Because Bai Ling is a spirit-type, Qin Xiao exchanged the spirit crystals for fifty earth-type and fifty attribute-less spirit crystals.
There aren't many types of skill beads, and since they're orange-colored, Qin Xiao had no choice but to select one that was a good fit for Bai Ling.
Silver-tier orange-level skill: Psionic Missile.
The skill level is passable.
It can compress the spiritual energy within the body and release it, causing considerable explosive damage.
It can also be combined with other energies to change the properties of the missile; however, the specifics remain to be verified.
As for purple-grade tamed beasts, you need to go to the Beast Taming Department to select them in person; it can't be done at the counter here.
Qin Xiao made his decision quickly, but Zhou Lei, who was already taking off by clinging to Qin Xiao's leg, was even faster.
Because this kid planned to choose his beast tamer first, and then select his spirit crystals and skill beads, he had nothing to do after receiving the Huawu Coins and the Gold-level Secret Realm Permission.
"Brother Xiao, when are we going to choose our beast tamers? I want to go with you!"
As Zhou Lei stepped off the stage, he spoke excitedly.
Qin Xiao thought for a moment and said, "Hmm, tomorrow then. We'll go there tomorrow morning and meet at the entrance of the Beast Taming Department. Oh, by the way, come with me to the Spirit Contract Association to process the spoils from the secret realm."
As they were talking, Qin Xiao, seeing that there was nothing else to do, prepared to put his yo-yo on the wheel.
He also has a large number of bronze-tier spirit crystals and two skill beads in his contract space, as well as a lava rock core for sale.
I also need to make up for the missing earth-type spirit crystals and beast flesh in Ilya's fusion template, so I have to go to the Spirit Contract Association.
"Brother Xiao, I'm not going. I've already become incredibly wealthy by clinging to your coattails. If I take anything else, I'm afraid I'll get struck by lightning."
Zhou Lei suppressed his excited smile and said seriously.
Qin Xiao looked at him and said a few more words, but Zhou Lei still insisted on not splitting up.
After thinking about it, Qin Xiao let him go.
This amount of money is negligible compared to orange skill beads and purple beast taming items.
The two walked and talked, and the surrounding students made way for them.
Zhou Lei's head darted around, as if he were looking for something.
What are you looking at?
"Hey, I'm looking for that kid Wang Feng. He's been nagging me, and I'm going to help you, Brother Xiao, slap him in the face! Is that kid dead or something?"
"You're such a scoundrel, just go. What's the point of caring about someone like that?"
As soon as they reached the middle of the hall, they were surrounded by a large group of reporters.
A barrage of cameras and microphones were thrust at Qin Xiao's lips.
Some people were so crowded that they couldn't be seen, so someone stretched out their hand and poked the microphone directly into their nostril.
However, before these reporters could ask even two questions, they were pushed aside by representatives of various factions.
After all, these people were almost all Gold-level powerhouses, and these reporters had no chance against them.
"Qin Xiao, the Flowing Shadow Team cordially invites you to join us. You can discuss your benefits with the team captain in person!"
"Qin Xiao, the Wanhua Chamber of Commerce cordially invites you to join us. The compensation package will be discussed with you in person by the president of the Qingzhou branch! It's absolutely generous!"
"Qin Xiao, classmate..."
At the same time, his bracelet also popped up a notification.
Qin Xiao took a look amidst his busy schedule.
Hu Bukuan: Qin, our team leader would like to meet with you privately. Would you do me the honor? You can set the time.
Ye Qinghuan: Classmate, how do you plan to sell the lava core? Please give me a price quote first!
...
Flowers in full bloom, oil sizzling over a raging fire.
Qin Xiao's choice was to let things cool down first before making a decision.
"I'm sorry everyone, the secret realm was really tiring. I need to rest and prepare for the college entrance exam. I'm not considering joining a faction for the time being. I hope you can understand!"
Qin Xiao spoke a few words in a rare serious tone.
As he spoke, he struggled to squeeze out of the crowd and left the hall with Zhou Lei in a disheveled state.
Outside the hall, there were buses and ambulances transporting the wounded and students.
The bus left as soon as it was full, and the two of them boarded it directly. Zhou Lei's Iron Claw Bear went to the dedicated bus.
Soon, the car started and slowly drove out of the training camp.
Inside the bus, students kept glancing at Qin Xiao and his companion.
Zhou Lei looked out the window and said, "Brother Xiao, I'm a little scared."
Qin Xiao raised an eyebrow. "What, was my enthusiasm too much for you?"
Zhou Lei turned his head and leaned back in his chair.
"Brother Xiao, I know I don't have much of a future. The best outcome is..."
If you survive your entire life without dying or becoming disabled, and even manage to make some money, you can advance to the rank of Silver Beastmaster.
Those powerful figures and influential people are all people I can only look up to, people I can never reach.
