Beast Taming, my intelligence updates daily.

Chapter 329 Global Researcher Competition

The Battle of the Southern Sky has finally begun.

However, Ye Bai is in the other hemisphere, so even if he knew, he couldn't help in the immediate crisis.

After all, two of the Twelve Pillars of the Nation, along with three of the Twenty-Eight Constellations, were at the South Heavenly Gate Fortress, and many veterans had returned to fight. Ye Bai had also informed Jiao Mu Jiao of the Lava Dragon Turtle's weaknesses in the name of Y.

Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any problems. The little lava dragon turtle should be easily handled, but Ye Bai still felt a little uneasy.

Could it be that the Lava Turtle has some other tricks up its sleeve?

Ye Bai can only hope that everything will be peaceful and safe.

The first round of the competition is about to begin.

A global research competition would naturally not test basic knowledge.

The entire competition is divided into three rounds.

The evaluation is based on three rounds: treating pets, raising pets, and surviving on a deserted island.

Only the shortlist will be announced for each round; the points rankings will not be published.

After three rounds, the scores from each round are added together and then sorted to obtain the final overall ranking.

Because the United States emphasizes free competition, although survival is based on national teams, each country's participants are independent individuals.

McGonagall gathered everyone together before the game started.

The implication was that Ye Bai should unite his compatriots and, from a moral high ground, persuade him to help more students from Yan Country advance to the next round.

This will make Principal McGonagall look better.

Ye Bai nodded in agreement, but inwardly he didn't think so.

Just kidding, this is international competition, why would we give you special treatment here?

That's incredibly naive.

The opening ceremony was very grand. Peace doves were released, and the mayor of New York City, Tuskidel, began his speech.

This guy is very eloquent; his words are simple and easy to understand, which has won him a lot of cheers and goodwill.

"Now, I declare the 67th Global Researcher Competition officially open."

"Please welcome Mr. De Laine, Chairman of the Researcher Competition Organizing Committee, to the stage to give a speech."

Chairman De Leon was an old man with white hair and a thick beard.

He was wearing a sharp suit and a pair of monocles.

A parrot-shaped pet landed on his shoulder.

"Ladies and gentlemen, contestants, good morning."

"Today is a very meaningful day because the Researcher Competition has started."

"This competition is divided into three rounds in total."

"I want to state upfront that researchers have no borders, and we will give scores in an objective, fair and impartial manner."

"The first round of the competition will begin with healing pets."

"The pets will be randomly assigned to each participant. Please enter the venue in an orderly manner."

"Oh, right, I should remind everyone."

"You will need to wear this wristband during the competition."

The chairman of the organizing committee took out a black bracelet.

The bracelet emitted a glossy black halo under the sunlight.

"The bracelet will prevent everyone from opening the pet space, so naturally they can't release their pets."

"This is also to maintain fairness and impartiality for everyone, and we hope that everyone can cooperate and understand."

"In addition, during the competition, the monitor will be watching everyone's movements the whole time, so please do not do anything underhanded."

"If anyone is found to be cheating, that person will be immediately expelled from the competition and banned for life."

The Global Researcher Competition is a prestigious competition. The contestants who can participate here are all top-tier MVPs in their respective countries, so they would naturally not cheat in this regard.

This is the pride of the strong.

"Next, please take a wristband and put it on your wrist."

"We will check them one by one, and this wristband is not allowed to be removed during the competition."

"It will make a beeping sound once the bracelet is removed."

"When we check the surveillance footage, if we find any videos of you removing the wristbands, we will issue one warning. After three warnings, you will be expelled from the competition."

DeLaine solemnly emphasized that he hoped there would be no surprises in this competition.

Ye Bai felt that this competition was somewhat similar to the Yan Kingdom's Grand Competition.

It seems that the Yan Kingdom Tournament is conducted in accordance with the procedures of the World Championship.

"I'm quite an expert when it comes to healing pets."

To be honest, if Ye Bai hadn't become Master Jiang's apprentice, his skills in healing pets might not have been so impressive.

The library at Tianmen already contains all the strange beasts they have discovered.

It's fair to say that he's never been afraid of anyone when it comes to treatment.

After Ye Bai put on the bracelet, he could feel that the connection between himself and the pet space was blocked.

He arrived at the laboratory where his number plate was located.

The layout of the laboratory is similar to that during the Yan Guo competition.

Orders are placed in the lab, and a dedicated person will deliver the materials.

The computer screen displays hundreds of languages; you can simply switch between them.

Soon, a beast card appeared beside Ye Bai.

Ye Bai first carefully examined the beast card. It was a fourth-tier Dark Night Wolf, a beast that was a distant relative of the Netherworld Wolf.

Its glossy black fur provides excellent camouflage at night.

Where the Dark Night Wolf roams, the poultry there will inexplicably disappear.

After obtaining the beast card, Ye Bai did not immediately release the Dark Night Wolf. After confirming that the beast card was in a closed state, he directly opened the scanner.

His priority was to determine the current condition of the Dark Wolf.

The scanner quickly detected the Dark Wolf's current injuries.

He suffered multiple comminuted fractures.

In this state, the Dark Night Wolf is extremely aggressive.

In the shadows, Angelina watched Ye Bai's figure.

"Chief, your plan is indeed brilliant."

“Assigning such a troublesome beast to Ye Bai means that Ye Bai will need two or three hours just to perform the surgery. So what if he gets a high score?”

"This not only wastes time but also energy, and it can easily wear you down."

Angelina's subordinate praised her.

"We cannot let our guard down. According to our statistics, the scores in the first round are very important."

"This will seriously affect the subsequent rankings."

"The first round of assessments focuses on saving lives and healing the wounded. Researchers with superb medical skills will be more favored by the big shots."

"I need you to search for bizarre and strange beasts with symptoms and send them all to Ye Bai. We must reduce a powerful competitor for our country's contestants."

"Go ahead, but do it discreetly."

Angelina picked up the wine glass and swirled it.

"Ye Bai, don't blame me. America must win first place, and no one can stop it. That's what I said." A terrifying glint appeared in her eyes.

After seeing the data on the Dark Night Wolf, Ye Bai knew that it must be being targeted.

Injuries of this severity are considered moderate to severe; if not treated properly, they can easily progress to a critical condition.

This strange beast should not have come to the assessment site and become a part of the assessment.

Ye Bai knew very well that the United States probably didn't want him to win, so he was openly plotting something.

The purpose is to prolong one's own time and deplete one's own energy.

Even though healing this Dark Night Wolf should be worth a lot of points, the contestants from the United States could easily heal beasts of average difficulty quickly and get more points.

"The Dark Night Wolf is in extreme pain, and in this state, I also have to be wary of it suddenly attacking and hurting people."

Ye Bai quickly selected a number of medicinal herbs based on the Dark Night Wolf's injuries, and he also specially found silkworm silk.

This type of silk is somewhat similar to absorbable sutures, but finer, and is specifically used to treat comminuted fractures.

"Come out, Dark Night Wolf."

Ye Bai unsealed the Beast Card and released the Dark Night Wolf from it.

Its body was about the size of a calf, covered in glossy black fur, and several of its feet were twisted to varying degrees.

Its eyes were bloodshot and scarlet. It bared its teeth at Ye Bai, the sharp teeth gleaming coldly under the laboratory's incandescent light.

It wished it could rush up and bite Ye Bai's head off with its teeth.

"That's not good."

As one of the judges, Dr. Jubino kept his eyes fixed on the laboratory where Ye Bai was.

When Dr. Jubino saw the Dark Night Wolf emerge from the Beast Card, its muscles taut, he knew something bad was about to happen.

This dark night wolf is about to launch an attack.

His palms were secretly sweating.

Hopefully, Ye Bai can handle this properly.

Otherwise, he would be completely disqualified from the competition.

Although Ye Bai is on the United States' assassination blacklist, the Americans would never make a move at this time. This would be an open invitation to others to admit that they were the ones who carried out the assassination.

Just as the Dark Night Wolf was about to launch an attack, Ye Bai opened a bottle of potion, and a strong aroma emanated from it, quickly spreading throughout the entire laboratory.

At this moment, the Dark Wolf revealed an extremely intoxicated expression.

That expression was like a cat smelling catnip.

The Dark Wolf didn't even resist; it simply lay down on the ground, exposing its belly.

This is a way for the Dark Wolf to show its submission to humans.

It choked up a few times, as if expressing its grievances.

"Don't worry, don't worry, I'll help you."

Ye Bai also noticed that one side of the Dark Night Wolf's cheek was swollen.

"You probably have a cavity."

"Remember to eat well and brush your teeth properly."

"Open your mouth, it will be ready soon."

The Dark Wolf, enduring excruciating pain, opened its mouth, and a sharp, cold light flashed past.

A tooth, mostly corroded and with blackened enamel, flew out and landed heavily on the ground.

This tooth is about the size of a thumb and is located in the position of the Dark Night Wolf's molar.

The inside was already corroded and pitted. If Ye Bai didn't deal with it, the Dark Night Wolf would go crazy in pain because of its teeth.

A stream of pus and blood flowed from the Dark Night Wolf's mouth, and it felt wonderful.

"How about it, not so scared anymore?"

"My name is Ye Yidao, and I specialize in healing exotic beasts."

"Next, I will cut open your fur and stitch up the broken bones. During this process, you should not move around or make any strange noises."

"Don't worry, I'm very skilled."

"Now close your eyes."

The Dark Night Wolf obediently closed its eyes, and Ye Bai walked to the spot where its limbs were twisted.

He drew a dot on it with a marker and then began the surgery.

Ye Bai used tweezers to pick out the white bone fragments one by one, and then used his hands, which fluttered like butterflies, to sew the bone fragments together.

Before long, Ye Bai had replaced one of the injured legs of the Dark Night Wolf.

"My goodness, has Ye Bai done a lot of experiments?"

"Why is it that treating the Dark Night Wolf is as easy for him as drinking water?"

"Does he possess some rapid treatment technology?"

Before long, Ye Bai stitched up the broken bone fragments, and the complete thigh bone appeared.

The Dark Wolf quietly opened its eyes, only to be startled by the scalpel, and quickly closed them again.

In less than half an hour, Ye Bai completed the healing tools for the Dark Night Wolf.

He gave the Dark Night Wolf a recovery potion, and the Dark Night Wolf happily scurried into the beast card, not wanting to stay in this awful place for even a second longer.

Soon, a number appeared on Ye Bai's bracelet, a number that only Ye Bai could see.

So this is the score.

It seems that finishing it sooner was useful.

Ye Bai then continued the experiment.

Angelina's mouth dropped open; she simply couldn't believe that Ye Bai had performed the surgery so quickly.

It was completed in less than half an hour.

"Is this guy cheating?"

Angelina murmured, her breathing noticeably heavier as she was the only one in the office.

"What an extraordinary genius has been born in Yan Kingdom!"

"Let's continue with our plan and keep Ye Bai occupied. I refuse to believe that you can't handle some difficult problems."

Angelina said through gritted teeth.

Ye Bai has a vast knowledge base, so no matter what kind of pet beast is brought to him, Ye Bai can immediately explain its details, which immediately reveals his superiority.

More and more complex experiments were handed over to Ye Bai, but he handled them methodically and completed the tasks in the shortest possible time.

"It seems that Ye Bai has the ability to simplify complex matters; his knowledge base is truly impressive."

"As expected of Su Qingxian's grand-disciple, she really has some skills."

Dr. Jubino remarked with deep emotion.

"He should see what I'm researching now; I'd like to extend a research invitation to him."

"Once this technology is successfully developed, it will be a safeguard for all of humanity."

The first round of assessments will last for three days.

There is a small room in the laboratory with a bed and a washroom. Three meals a day are delivered by staff on time. Although they are not as delicious as the presidential suite set meal at the Burj Al Arab, they are still above average.

It seems the organizing committee has put a lot of effort into this competition.

In these three days, Ye Bai treated a total of 121 pets, which should place him first in the first round in terms of quantity.
