Chapter 1494 Finished Absorbing
After half an hour.
Hotel, suite.
Qiao Sang held her phone, stared at the second-ranked trending topic #SavingMoreMatches,TheRoyal-Level Pet ChampionWithoutCamera#, remained silent for a moment, and then clicked on it.
Who is this? I didn't see it at all during the competition. Could there be some kind of rigged situation?
[Exactly, they didn't even get a single shot on camera, yet they're the champion. This is no joke; they can't fake it like this.]
[I checked, this is a royal-level pet beast from Blue Star, the Netherworld Ring Monarch. What would a royal-level pet beast do in this competition?]
[Your research isn't comprehensive enough. This is the pet of Josang, the champion of this year's Master Challenge.]
[Oh my god, the pet of the Master Challenge champion is even a Royal-level beast! I suddenly understand why the organizers let it win the championship.]
[No, it's the pet of the Master Challenge champion. It's reasonable for it to win, right? It's already a champion pet of the Master Challenge. I feel like it's just giving face to the organizers to participate. Maybe the organizers even begged it to participate.]
Why would the champion of the Masters Challenge participate in this kind of competition?
[What's wrong with this competition? Are you looking down on us medical staff?]
Regardless of their identity, the fact that they haven't been on screen even once is suspicious, so it's no wonder people suspect there might be something fishy going on.
[Without a single shot, and considering the identity of this Netherworld Lord, isn't the conspiracy quite obvious?]
There are still quite a few comments below, most of which question whether the competition was rigged.
Originally, the "Save More" competition was only slightly popular in Yuan Kingdom, and it was held once a month. The champion didn't get much screen time, so it wasn't worth making it to the top of the trending searches. However, Little Treasure Hunt is a royal-level pet beast of Blue Star and the pet beast of this year's Master Challenge champion. This caused the topic's discussion to skyrocket, reaching the second most searched topic in a short period of time.
Qiao Sang stopped watching, put down her phone, and looked at Xiao Xunbao, who was crying.
"Search!"
"Search!"
Little Treasure knelt on the ground, pounding the ground and crying loudly.
Qiao Sang sighed and said, "You used teleportation from the very beginning of the competition, and you were teleporting throughout the process of rescuing patients, so the photographer didn't capture you on camera."
"Search!"
"Search!"
Little Treasure Hunter cried even harder.
"Teeth."
Ya Bao looked puzzled and exclaimed, indicating that they had already won the championship, but there was no camera time, so what was there to cry about?
In its view, this competition is not like a battle; it's just about finding patients and sending targets around, which is very boring, and it doesn't matter if there are no cameras.
"Search!"
Little Treasure raised his head, snot and tears streaming down his face, and cried out, indicating that he hadn't even been on camera, so what was the point of winning the championship!
"Teeth?"
Ya Bao was even more confused.
Isn't winning the championship more important than being on camera?
“What Little Treasure Hunt needs is everyone’s genuine interest to collect energy,” Qiao Sang explained. “Without the camera, people can’t see it, so they can’t develop an interest in it.”
Even worse, because he won the championship but didn't get any screen time, people online and pet owners alike felt it was a rigged victory. Forget about liking him, they might even develop a dislike for Little Treasure Hunter.
Of course, she didn't say that aloud.
"Search!"
"Search!"
Little Treasure pouted and continued to pound the ground with its paws while crying.
"Teeth."
After understanding, Ya Bao exclaimed, "Then the competition was a waste of time!"
"Search!"
"Search!"
Little Treasure Hunter's cries suddenly rose in intensity.
"Qingqing."
Qingbao floated over to its side, handed it a tissue, and called out, indicating that it was no big deal and that it could be dealt with by participating in other competitions later; it should just wipe itself first.
Little Treasure looked up at it, tears streaming down its face, and was about to take the tissue.
But at that moment, Qingbao burst out laughing at the snot hanging from its nose:
"Clear!"
"Search!"
Little Treasure Hunter pounded the ground and cried bitterly.
"Alright, alright, stop crying," Qiao Sang comforted her. "It's not like there's no way out entirely."
"Search?"
Upon hearing this, Little Treasure Hunter quickly looked at his Beastmaster, his eyes filled with anticipation, and called out, indicating that there was some way.
It cried so bitterly not entirely because there were no cameras, but because it saw the comments online and found that everyone was questioning it.
Qiao Sang pondered for a moment, then said:
"People say there's something fishy going on, mainly because they haven't seen any footage of you. In that case, just post the footage of you rescuing patients online."
"Search."
Little Treasure's lips twitched, and she looked like she was about to cry again.
But didn't they fail to capture it?
“The photographer didn’t capture it, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t any video footage,” Jossan said. “There are so many cameras on the street now, there must be footage of you. I’ll go find Guilunsell and have them find the video and post it online.”
Little Treasure Hunt needs to collect white energy and will be staying on Tianyuan Star for a long time. It's not good to have such negative news. Moreover, if this matter is not handled well, it may dampen Little Treasure Hunt's enthusiasm for participating in future competitions. It's better to reverse the public opinion.
"Search!"
Little Treasure's eyes suddenly lit up, and he nodded repeatedly while sniffling.
Yeah!
Josang took out his phone, preparing to contact Guilunsail.
Suddenly, Michaela, who was sitting on the sofa, said, "Don't contact Guilunsel yet."
"Why?" Qiao Sang asked, putting down her phone.
"Xunxun?" Little Xunbao looked at Michaela anxiously.
As Michaela sipped his milk, he said calmly, "Let the public opinion ferment for a while, and then let everyone know the truth later. That way, more people and pets will like Little Treasure Hunt."
"Search."
Little Treasure Hunter looked at him with a "Really?" expression.
Qiao Sang said thoughtfully, "Letting the public opinion ferment for a longer time will allow more netizens to pay attention to this matter, and more people and pets will know about Little Treasure Hunt. Then we can clarify it. Netizens who are already paying attention to Little Treasure Hunt will have even more goodwill towards it. It is indeed better to let the public opinion ferment for a longer time."
Michaela laughed and said, "That's exactly what I meant."
"Search!"
Little Treasure Hunter gritted his teeth and shouted, indicating that he would not look for Guilun Sai'er for now!
For the rest of the time, Xiao Xunbao held a phone, looking sadly at the comments online.
Suddenly, it saw a comment questioning whether there was any behind-the-scenes manipulation in the Master Challenge, and immediately showed an angry expression, quickly typing and arguing back.
Suburbs, villa.
A slightly overweight teenager sat at the table, watching the constantly updated messages in the group chat.
[I never imagined that the pet of the Master Challenge champion would resort to such underhanded tactics in a small competition.]
[It's already a royal-level pet, I don't understand the point of it rigging this competition.] [I just looked at the photos, and this Netherworld Lord is truly shady.]
The boy looked at the sentence, suddenly thought of something, and started typing rapidly:
I also saw two very dark-skinned pets today. They looked exactly alike, like ghosts, but they could teleport—no, it was more like spatial teleportation. The restaurant door was closed, and one of them teleported away from a poisoned pet.
People in the group replied instantly:
[The Lord of the Underworld is also a Ghost-type and Psychic-type, and it's black. Could this be the one you saw?]
[Look closely, it says two identical pet beasts. The Netherworld Lord is a royal-level pet beast of Blue Star, how could two of them appear at once?]
The boy thought for a moment and edited the message:
Are there any photos of the champion pets that were rescued from more competitions?
Someone immediately posted: [Image]
[This is what it looks like; isn't it quite dark?]
Those teeth are so white!
The boy zoomed in on the picture and stared at it for two seconds. Suddenly, he thought of something, took out his phone, and played a video.
In the video, two small, black ghost-type pets are communicating.
The boy paused the video, took a screenshot, enlarged it, and compared it with the image on his computer.
After comparing them for three seconds, he finally confirmed that this was the pet he had seen in the restaurant!
Without much thought, the boy uploaded the video to the group chat.
The next morning, Qiao Sang was awakened by a series of "searching" sounds.
When she opened her eyes, she saw Xiao Xunbao holding a phone, looking at her excitedly.
"What's wrong?" Qiao Sang asked groggily.
"Search!"
Little Treasure Hunt placed his phone in front of his Beastmaster.
Qiao Sang looked at her phone screen, and two seconds later, she saw the hashtag #SavingMoreCompetitionChampionsWellDeserved#.
She was stunned for a moment, then quickly came to her senses, sat up abruptly, took her phone, and opened the relevant trending topics.
Upon clicking, a video plays showing Little Treasure Hunter and his stand-in communicating next to a poisoned pet, after which Little Treasure Hunter disappears with the poisoned pet.
There was even a clarification video! Qiao Sang perked up, fully sobered up, and started reading the comments below.
Everyone, apologize to Little Treasure Hunter!
Using doubles and teleportation to find and move patients—that teamwork, that skill, no wonder they won the championship.
[I knew it! The champion pet in the Master Challenge wouldn't be involved in any shady dealings.]
[I said yesterday that the Lord of the Underworld couldn't possibly be involved in something underhanded. I even saw it take away an elderly person who had just been poisoned when I was on the road yesterday, but nobody believed me, and some people even messaged me to curse.]
[Is the Netherworld Lord called Little Treasure Hunter? It's so pitiful! It's clearly a royal-level pet, but I'm starting to feel sorry for it. It didn't even know how much you guys scolded it yesterday.]
[It's a bit tragic. They won the championship, but didn't get a single shot on camera, and were even accused of having a rigged match.]
What's with the organizers trying to save more matches? Didn't they consider hiring photographers with tracking abilities?
[I've become a fan now. I was originally a fan of Gangbao, but I came to check out the rumors about Xiaoxunbao. I didn't expect it to be like this. If you think about it, you'll know that a royal-level pet wouldn't rig a competition like this, let alone Xiaoxunbao.]
There are many similar comments.
Qiao Sang glanced at the comments, put down her phone, and said in a great mood:
"I didn't expect that I didn't even need Gui Lunsel to step in, and netizens would help release a clarification video."
"Looking around~"
Little Treasure Hunter nodded happily.
"It's a pity you clarified it too early. Otherwise, if the public opinion had fermented for a little longer, you might have accumulated even more fans," Qiao Sang said.
"Looking around~"
Little Treasure showed a serious expression and barked, indicating that it had thought about it and still didn't want to accumulate fans in this way; it hated being misunderstood.
"Looking around~"
It paused, then added with a cry.
And you.
Qiao Sang was taken aback at first, then patted Little Treasure Hunter's head and said gently:
"There are many opinions online, some good and some bad. However, you have already won the Master Challenge and your strength has been recognized. As long as you continue to appear in various competitions, no matter what the results are, there will always be people and pets on your side."
"Looking around~"
Little Treasure Hunter's eyes lit up, and he nodded vigorously.
Qiao Sang immediately thought of something and suggested:
"Why don't you stop participating in any competitions or activities in Yuan Kingdom and instead go out and rescue poisoned people and pets?"
"Search?"
Little Treasure Hunter looked puzzled and called out.
why?
Qiao Sang analyzed, "Now the people and pets of Yuan Kingdom know you because of the rescue competition. If you continue to provide rescues anytime and anywhere, people will think that you like to do good deeds. Right now is when you are most popular. Whatever you do, someone or a pet will definitely take pictures. You don't have to worry about not getting attention. When someone posts it online, your fame in Yuan Kingdom will continue to rise."
Most importantly, most of the competitions and events held in Yuan Kingdom are for poison-type pets or beast tamers who own poison-type pets, so there are very few competitions that Little Treasure Hunter can participate in.
"Looking around~"
Upon hearing this, Little Treasure Hunt looked serious, nodded, and barked, indicating that it knew what to do.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.
Hotel, suite.
"Knock knock."
A knock came at the door.
A gust of wind blew by and opened the door.
"Abdomen."
A pet dressed in work clothes pushed a cart full of food in and barked once.
It came to the dining table, placing the food on it while glancing occasionally in the direction where Little Treasure Hunt was.
Qiao Sang clearly saw white energy emanating from its body and flowing into Xiao Xunbao's body.
Another fan of Little Treasure Hunt
Qiao Sang couldn't help but sigh. During this time, Xiao Xunbao hadn't participated in any competitions, but instead devoted himself to rescue work. On one occasion, he rescued a person and their pet buried by a building collapse, which immediately made him the number one trending topic in Yuan Kingdom.
Since then, it has become famous in Yuan Kingdom, and wherever it goes, some white energy will enter its body.
"Looking around~"
Little Treasure Hunter seemed to sense something and grinned at the working pet that happened to be looking over.
The working pet's expression instantly became excited, and the white energy generated within its body also grew stronger.
After the working pet left, Little Treasure Hunter couldn't wait to bark:
"Search?"
Is he/she my fan?
“Yes,” Qiao Sang said with a smile.
"Looking around~"
Little Treasure Hunter showed a smug expression and barked, indicating that it knew.
"Looking around~"
After saying that, it went to the dining table, quickly ate its energy meal, and prepared to go out and do its rescue mission after it finished eating.
Qiao Sang also came to the dining table, and just as he was about to sit down, Gang Bao's voice suddenly rang in his mind:
"Steel Power".
It has exhausted its energy. (End of Chapter)
