First attempt at a tacit understanding class for cub breeders
"What kind of course is this?" the little snow leopard asked in confusion.
The system is also highlighted in gold, which means that this class is broadcast live to the public.
Shang Yiqi shook his head. Although he had become the boss of the protection base, he always left professional matters to professionals. He only needed to take care of Cen Cen's daily life. The little knowledge he had about this class was from occasionally seeing related competitions on the Internet.
"Competition?!" Xiao Qingcen widened his eyes.
"Today is the first day I've seen a baby snow leopard in a long time!" Rabbit Star smiled and greeted the camera in the live broadcast room, then shifted the camera to the snow leopard and the big black wolf.
Under the camera's gaze, Xiao Qingcen subconsciously nudged Shang Yiqi's shoulder and leaned against the Archon quite naturally. He was quite curious about the competition that Shang Yiqi had just mentioned, and subconsciously wanted to search for related information online.
The first thing that popped up on his screen was an event announcement about a competition between cubs from different protection bases.
The annual Base Protection Competition is about to begin. Auditions will run from the first of this month to the last day of the month on the Interstellar Calendar. There are two main auditions: offline and online.
The online auditions will be divided into two main categories: video and livestream. Anyone who posts a video with the "Cub Showdown" tag from the official account of the conservation base, or uses the corresponding tag during a livestream, will automatically be included in this round of auditions!
The handsome keeper reached out and hugged the snow leopard he raised.
Such an eye-catching scene made the audience in the live broadcast room cheer:
【yoooo~】
The Archon held the king, who had been clinging to him more and more recently, in his arms and sat cross-legged on the ground.
"This class is about tacit understanding. The King and the Archon probably haven't taken this kind of class yet. Basically, the keeper stands a short distance ahead of the cub and, through prompts, helps the cub jump over obstacles and reach the keeper. Every year, there's a competition between conservation bases to test the tacit understanding between keepers and cubs, and the test is similar."
[The protection base has upgraded their equipment. I remember seeing the level of this protection base before, and most of the props used in the tacit understanding classes were real objects, but now they're using virtual reality equipment!]
The first one to demonstrate was Wan Ling. Xiao Qingcen subconsciously glanced at the activity page and saw that Wan Ling's cat head was pasted on last year's third place.
Wan Ling's keeper stood on the far right side of the classroom, while Wan Ling was blindfolded and squatting on the far left side, his big ears standing up to catch the keeper's voice.
"Jump three meters ahead, turn left at five meters to enter the miniature maze..." Before the keeper finished speaking, Wan Ling rushed in, swinging his three big tails. After a jump from three meters, the kitten immediately turned into the maze. His keeper couldn't help but take a deep breath. Based on his understanding of Wan Ling, this kitten had his own exclusive solution to the maze.
Sure enough, Wan Ling was already running along the left side of the maze.
The keepers were silent while the cubs were moving, to avoid disturbing them. Wan Ling's keeper couldn't help but cover his head. When the kitten finally realized it seemed to be going in circles in a dead end, he spoke up and warned, "Wan Ling, turn around. Go straight for three meters, then turn right and go straight again. Go straight for eight meters, then turn left."
Xiao Qingcen stared intently, his tail twitching slightly, observing the changes on the track. These tracks were generated on-site by artificial intelligence. Before the cubs stepped onto the track, no one knew what it would look like next.
At this moment, Wan Ling suddenly jumped to the right and hit the virtual wall with a bang. He meowed and found that his distance estimation was a little wrong. He had to step back half a meter before reaching the correct fork in the road.
[Wan Ling, if only you had listened carefully to the keeper's instructions before running away!]
【Hey, hey, hey, I almost ran too far again. 】
The keeper's voice came from his right front. Wan Ling tried hard to guess. This kind of maze that required thinking was always his most hated project. After all, a kitten could only run through the entire maze by himself to get out, unlike Dahua, who could find the correct direction by stretching out all his tentacles until he covered the entire maze.
After finally getting out of the maze panting, he finally arrived at the little cat's home ground. Unbeknownst to him, a high wall stood in front of Wan Ling.
"Climbing rack, there's the first landing point on the left."
The breeder didn't need to say much. After Wan Ling found the first fulcrum, he just felt around with his right paw and immediately found the second fulcrum.
This activity, which is very suitable for consuming the energy of the elves, is indeed his favorite sport. He can even guess the specific location with his eyes closed.
He suddenly jumped up and reached the top in just a few steps.
【\Wanling/\Wanling/\Wanling/】
[Even though you can't tell, every time there's a competition involving the Ancient Blue Star's protection base, it's Wan Ling, Da Hua, and Pi who are the three pets that sprint to the top!]
【Wanling Baby is awesome! There are still three levels left!】
Xiao Qingcen curiously leaned over to the barrage. You couldn't tell normally! Was Wan Ling so powerful? He tilted his head in curiosity. Wan Ling, blindfolded and boldly leaping down, even rolling on the ground to dissipate most of the gravity, was completely different from the usual little cat that followed him around, calling him "Boss."
For the remaining levels of the cross-country race, Wan Ling habitually listened to half of what the breeder said first, and then continued to listen to the rest after completing it. He quickly ran out in four minutes and fifty-three seconds.
[Ah, I just wasted time in the maze.]
This time is pretty impressive even for a large conservation base. It's just routine training right now, so there's no need to run too fast.
[I wonder if the rules for this year's cub competition will change.]
[Is the baby snow leopard the last one to appear? ]
Xiao Qingcen continued to flip through the pages. There were quite a few rules for the cub competition, but to put it simply, there were only a few. In addition to the rules that keepers could not speak while the cubs were exercising and could not use any objects that were attractive to the cubs, there were also several additional special regulations.
[1. Even cubs in the same protection base cannot communicate or give each other instructions.]
This rule has always been criticized. After all, cooperation between the cubs should be an important highlight of the competition.
[2. During the competition, the use of special abilities is allowed.]
This makes perfect sense. After all, whether or not a cub uses its special abilities makes a world of difference. To ensure fairness, the competition committee will also create a special category for the "special ability group" and the "non-special ability group." Xiao Qingcen had just seen that Wan Ling, who won third place last year, had also won third place in the "non-special ability group."
If a cub possessed special abilities, like Dahua, the system would expand and enrich the map, even projecting virtual reality into the system, bringing the cubs directly into the virtual world. Robots like Pi, on the other hand, would simply sit nearby, connected to the network, and enter the virtual world... Only after the other cubs had tried it out, Xiao Qingcen, having understood the rules, finally took the stage.
Shang Yiqi tried the microphone. His voice was not coming from right in front of Xiao Qingcen. Instead, the location of his voice would change with every sentence he spoke. This was probably to prevent the cubs from violently passing through based on the location of the breeder's voice?
Xiao Qingcen closed her eyes, not switching to Shang Yiqi's field of vision. With her eyes covered, her vision seemed to have returned to the darkness of a newly hatched shell, and she felt a strange sense of security. This feeling was very novel. Xiao Qingcen spread out her mental power, clearly sensing the position between herself and Shang Yiqi.
The stopwatch on the side was pressed, and Xiao Qingcen jumped out quickly without even waiting for Shang Yiqi to speak.
There is a wooden stake three meters to the left, avoid it; five meters to the right is a protruding obstacle; directly in front is an obstacle belt that must be jumped over.
【what happened! ? 】
[The WOC Archon hasn't even spoken yet, but how did the little snow leopard already know what obstacles are ahead, like a cheat?!]
Xiao Qingcen's mental power allowed him to clearly see any obstacles in front of him, and he ran without stopping for a moment.
The artificial intelligence was working hard to calculate how to set up the obstacle course next. Before it finished figuring out what to customize for Xiao Qingcen on the third course, it discovered that the little snow leopard had already rushed in front of it.
The most challenging aspect of this competition is the tacit understanding between the cubs and their keepers. If one just blindly uses his or her own special abilities, he or she will easily be misled. In addition to mental abilities, special abilities such as sound waves and wind can also be used to determine the specific location of obstacles on the track.
Enter the second track.
Xiao Qingcen subconsciously raised his paws, and the surrounding environment seemed to have changed.
Suddenly, there was a sound of dripping water around.
