Beast Taming, my intelligence updates daily.

Chapter 412 Paper Doll Clone Technique

This intelligence is quite interesting; it was passed on from Zhang Dashan's side.

This is intelligence regarding external forces aggressively recruiting contestants.

Ye Bai was just appointed as a supervisor, and now this news has come in such a short time.

Ye Bai even wondered if this was a setup.

Once you've experienced hardship, there's no end to the hardships you'll face.

How did he go from a highly respected scientist to a mere wage earner?

Being a supervisor sounds like a very troublesome job.

"That's it, that's all."

"Since you've already agreed, just consider it a vacation."

"Anyway, the intelligence system will give me the latest information."

"I'll be the first to know if anything happens."

Let's take it one step at a time.

For Ye Bai, this task was actually not difficult.

However, preventing the invasion of external forces is much more difficult.

In particular, the necromancers of the Evangelical Fellowship and the Spiritual Son of the Resurrection Society are both masters at manipulating souls.

If only there were a way to solve this once and for all.

"Hello, I am your personal secretary, and my name is Lin Lin."

"Tell me your needs directly, and I will convey them to you and gather intelligence for you."

A paper figure appeared, pale-faced, with squinty eyes and two rosy cheeks.

This looks a lot like a paper puppet.

This is a paper figure made using the technique of cutting paper into human figures.

He didn't look very tall; his body seemed to be floating in the air.

These paper figures are imbued with spirituality from the moment they are created, and can be considered liaisons for the Twenty-Eight Mansions.

Lin Lin placed an exquisitely crafted token into Ye Bai's hand.

The token is black and shiny, with the characters "西一" (Xi Yi) written on it in bold, silver strokes.

Kui Mulang is the first constellation of the White Tiger in the west.

This token is exactly the same as the one Ye Bai has, and it can verify Lin Lin's identity.

Ye Bai categorized his pets.

He placed the Demon Bear, Water Rabbit, Shennong Ginseng, and Sacred Yin-Yang Conch in his underground laboratory, where Lanfa managed them. This was to allow Lanfa to better utilize the strength of these four pets.

The Demon Bear has a wealth of knowledge about demons. Shennong Ginseng was originally a plant from the demon realm. The Water Rabbit has not yet awakened because it is parasitizing the Demon Bear.

The Sacred Yin-Yang Conch is a perfect match for Lanfa's talent, and keeping it in the laboratory will allow it to reach its full potential.

After classifying all the pets, Ye Bai obtained the list of dark horse contestants for this competition from Lin Lin.

There are quite a few people this time, but compared to Ye Bai's class, the number is still smaller.

"The Young Lin Cup and the Phoenix Young Cup will also be held in different time slots this time."

"Furthermore, the Young Unicorn Cup and the Phoenix Chick Cup will not be held together this time; they will be held separately."

"In other words, the workload of this guard will be enormous."

Lin Lin quickly sorted out the general intelligence.

Lin Lin would tell Ye Bai whatever information he wanted as soon as possible.

"By the way, Lin Lin, does every one of the Twenty-Eight Constellations have a personal paper doll like yours?"

Ye Bai asked curiously.

"They are usually equipped with them, but some of the Twenty-Eight Constellations don't need them. They have more special pet beasts, which are not necessarily exclusive paper dolls, but may also be other weapon-type soul beasts."

"I served the previous Kui Mulang. After Kui Mulang died, I was sealed in the Hall of Destiny."

"I only recently woke up from my deep sleep."

“I woke up and volunteered to come here.”

Lin Lin said with utmost composure.

"Do you know what kind of person the previous Kui Mulang was?"

Ye Bai asked curiously.

Some people say that the previous Kui Mulang was similar to himself, and Ye Bai also wanted to know what was going on.

"The previous Kui Mulang?"

"I have absolutely no recollection of it."

"Because I was once smashed to pieces, I have lost a lot of my memories, including memories of the previous Kui Mulang."

"However, I do remember one thing: the previous Kui Mulang was ranked first among the Twenty-Eight Constellations."

“He was very strong; even some of the pillars of the state at the time were no match for him.”

"Apart from that, I have no memory at all."

Lin Lin shook his head.

"Alright, since recalling it makes you feel bad, then stop thinking about it."

Ye Bai glanced at the documents Lin Lin handed him and quickly flipped through them.

"Lin Lin, do you have any suggestions?"

Ye Bai didn't want to think about such trivial matters.

"This time, the Young Lin Cup will be the opening event. I suggest that you participate in the Young Lin Cup competition as a judge."

"Currently, everyone in Yan Kingdom thinks you are a well-known scholar, so no one will be wary of you."

"This year's Young Scale Cup competition is the same as usual, including potion preparation, pet breeding, and so on."

"The previous edition of the Young Lin Cup was too risky due to its combination with the Phoenix Cup, which drew criticism from others. Therefore, this year's Young Lin Cup participants will be given special protection."

"This time, the Young Unicorn Cup will not be held in the capital, but in Tianhai City."

Upon hearing the name Tianhai City, Ye Bai frowned.

Tianhai City is the capital of Tian Province, and it is some distance from the capital.

Tianquan City and Tianzhong City are both part of Tian Province.

Setting the location of the Young Unicorn Cup in Tianhai City made Ye Bai feel somewhat uneasy.

"And which city will the Phoenix Cup be held in?"

Ye Bai continued to ask.

"The Phoenix Cup will be held at the old site in Tianquan City."

"The theme today is to eliminate demons and protect the righteous path. You should know what that means."

Ye Bai smiled after hearing Lin Lin's words.

The old site of Tianquan City is a place where demons once descended, and it is filled with the smell of blood. Powerful monsters can easily appear there.

In this environment, an indomitable soul can easily become a corrupted ghost.

The best solution is to let Sunflower Cleaning Company take over and turn the area into their territory.

It is said that the blood mist in Tianquan City has not yet been driven away.

In other words, the risk of the Phoenix Cup is greater than that of the Young Unicorn Cup.

Ye Bai felt that this was an extremely large workload, and if it wasn't done well, other accidents might occur.

To be honest, Ye Bai was starting to have second thoughts; this was clearly a huge trap.

But he'd already accepted the offer, and if he backed out now, he'd probably lose his position as one of the Twenty-Eight Constellations. "Don't worry, there will be someone to assist you, and my paper doll clone can also help you oversee the entire competition."

"I will create paper doll clones, and each contestant will receive one of my clones. I will be responsible for monitoring their every move and locating everyone's coordinates."

"If any danger occurs, I will detect it immediately and will definitely not put you in a difficult position."

Ye Bai was very satisfied with this assistant, so he planned to keep Lin Lin with him for the time being.

"Lin Lin, it's a pity my pet contract is full, otherwise I would have kept you with me."

Ye Bai said with emotion.

"In fact, it doesn't matter. I was originally a vassal of the Northern Star Wolf Blade, and my contract with the Northern Star Wolf Blade still exists."

Ye Bai secretly communicated with the spirit of the soul weapon and received the same answer: Lin Lin was not lying.

Lin Lin and Bei Chen Tianlang Blade once signed a contract.

Since his Sunblade was stolen and part of his body was torn apart, Lin Lin has fallen into a deep sleep.

Lin Lin only awoke from his slumber when the twin blades of the sun and moon merged and the national fortune of the Yan Kingdom began to rise.

It was only recently that it fully recovered.

"Let's go to Tianhai City to make preparations first."

"I'd like to meet with the chairman of the organizing committee first to see what level of security measures are in place."

"I don't want too many people to sneak in; it would make me look incompetent."

"The Holy Spirit of the Resurrection Society has ideas, the necromancers of the Evangelical Fellowship also have ideas, and they all have ideas. What exactly do they mean by this?"

"Since they're all here, I might as well trap them like turtles in a jar. One by one, they'll die. One by one, I'll kill them all."

Ye Bai said coldly that he did indeed have that ability.

This year, the organizing committee chairman of the Youlin Cup has a new person named Song Fu'an, an old man who is nearly fifty years old.

He looked very energetic.

Only Song Fu'an knew Ye Bai's true identity.

So when discussing security for the Young Lin Cup, Ye Bai was brought in for a meeting.

"This time, the defense mission for the Young Scale Cup is very intense. In addition to the members in charge of security, we have also invited a famous professor, who is also the champion of the previous Young Scale Cup and the champion of the World Researchers Conference. He is also a judge for this year's competition, Mr. Ye Bai."

Song Fu'an introduced himself to everyone politely.

Looking at Ye Bai, who was rather young, a hint of disdain flashed in everyone's eyes.

They were all researchers who had been pondering in the research field for a long time, so naturally they had some skills and a bit of arrogance.

Even though Ye Bai was once the champion of the Young Scale Cup and the world-class researcher conference, it was nothing in the eyes of the crowd.

They regarded Ye Bai as a mascot.

"Let's talk about safety precautions now."

"For this security team, we hired Sunflower Cleaning Company."

"Their sunflowers have extremely strong defensive and surveillance capabilities."

"It can guarantee that an alarm will be issued immediately if there is any invasion by foreign enemies."

Ye Bai!!!
Is Sunflower Cleaning Company the one you established yourself?

How did it become a security company?
What did Sofia do?
Ye Bai widened his eyes.

Perhaps it could be a company with the same name?

Ye Bai muttered to himself.

"Sunflower Cleaning Company is one of the top ten mercenary groups in our Yan Kingdom."

"Their chairwoman, Ms. Sophia, truly has an eye for talent."

"It's a pity she's not attending the opening ceremony this time, otherwise I would definitely have a good discussion with Miss Sophia about the wonderful philosophy of life."

A well-dressed young man standing nearby spoke to Ye Bai.

An embarrassed expression appeared on Ye Bai's face. It really was his own company.
"However, I think it's not reliable to rely on just one company this time, so I also invited the Beast Mercenary Group to provide outer defense."

"The jackals, tigers, leopards, and eagles of the Beast Mercenary Group are all peak sixth-tier experts. With them around, there shouldn't be any problems."

"Unfortunately, Zhenguozhu was too busy this time and didn't have time to participate in the event."

"Even the Twenty-Eight Mansions didn't come to participate. Just how busy are they?"

Those nearby whispered complaints, expressing their dismay that Yan Kingdom didn't value the Young Unicorn Cup enough.

"Alright, that's all for the setup now."

"Next, we need to see how this competition should be organized."

"The last competition was quite successful, especially the one co-organized with the Fengchu Cup."

"It's just that the higher-ups felt the risks were too high, which is why they didn't allow the joint venture to continue this time."

"We started with a knowledge competition, followed by drug preparation and pet breeding, and finally selected a suitable champion."

"This process will take at least a month."

"Does anyone have any good suggestions to ensure that there won't be any major problems during this month?"

Song Fu'an looked at everyone.

However, no one seemed willing to make a guarantee, so when Song Fu'an's gaze swept over them, many people lowered their heads.

"Ye Bai, as the previous champion, what are your thoughts?"

"I think we shouldn't stick to the same routine in every competition; we need to make some changes."

Song Fu'an has organized the Youlin Cup many times; to be honest, he has thought of every possible method.

"I think the most important thing for a researcher is research and observation."

"I think we can cancel the first round of the knowledge competition and change it to the observation of exotic beasts."

“We can capture three or four exotic beasts and put them in iron cages, then let the contestants observe the attributes, personalities, and weaknesses of the beasts. This way, researchers won’t be called bookworms.”

"This tests open-ended and divergent thinking. I wonder what everyone's opinions are?"

Ye Bai asked everyone with a smile.

"That's a good idea, but how can we ensure that the beasts won't break out of their cages and pose a threat to humans?"

Immediately, someone nearby raised a question.

“We can easily place the Sunflower Fairy's clones below these pets.”

"The Sunflower Fairy is skilled in treating burns, paralysis, frostbite, and fainting, which can be used for both healing and combat."

"As long as the sunflower fairy is planted nearby, no strange beast will dare to rush out of the iron cage."

"Because they know that once they rush out, they will fall into all sorts of negative situations."

Ye Bai suggested.

"Ye Bai, your suggestion is excellent, but which exotic beast should we choose?"

“Ordinary beasts might be easily guessed by the contestants, which would defeat the purpose of giving them a trial.”

Song Fu'an frowned. Ye Bai's suggestion was good, but where would they get these exotic beasts?

The exotic beasts they prepared were specifically for the contestants.

If it's brought out in advance, there's no point in participating.

"Leave this to me."

"I'm a judge too, so I should do my part."

Ye Bai planned to inspect all the strange beasts to prevent anyone from sneaking in unnoticed.

However, the arrival of an uninvited guest surprised Ye Bai.
